Serermi of these fwindling affairs have been detected and expoeed, lint the mania atill continues, and Uie people arc ric- tWad.

Hence, it may be set down aa a safe role, that all offers of speculation, and at low rates espe cially, on the part of these com panic*, are decoys to cheat their dupes oat of the inTcst- ■mnu they make.

A few losses on the part of those, who will ignorantly invest, will lean a lesson of wisdom to the rest of our people. A'Nxw Ati-vjitic CAM.—A scheme of laying a new cable by a new route Is l>cing effected. The line will rpn from Falmoutli, England, to Halifax. by way of Oporto and the Axotea. The submarine cable will Iks aix hand mi sea miles from Falmouth to Oporto; nine hundred from Oporto to the Azores and fourteen hundred from the Aaores to Hali fax, making twenty-nine hundred miles in length. The peculiar feature of the new cable is its construction. It is described by Sir. Allan, the inventor, as having an internal copper wire cure, of dimensions that vary according to the proposed length of the cable. This is protected by a spiral coating of small steel wires, which provision furnishes not only great strength, but mncli flexibility to tlic cable. Tlic whole is then imlsjdded in gntta pcrvha, and then covered with an outer coat ing of tarred hemp tape. These precaution ary measures against rust and breakage arc valuable improvements over those cables used hitherto. It is claimed also for this cable that it weighs only a quarter as much » for mer Atlantic cables; that it will not stretch, and will cost far Nsa than the ordinary ra- of the State convention, tars A glance at the gathering showed that it I composed of the most suitable, if not in all respects the best talent of the State.

I now no ept the result as it stand* recorded. I have : worn to support the Union, and to acquiesce in the emancipa tion acts, and I mean to do so. I think it is tbc duty of cvcnr good Georgian to labor now for the welfare of the South under the new regime. I see no good to come from dis cussing dead issues—trying to prove wc were right, or somebody else wrong, and I liave no use for people. North or South, who are con stantly doing it Ha true conservative poli cy is panned, by and towards us, I think Georgia has brilliant prospects before her; but a great deal depends on her people, and perhaps almost as much on what they do not do, aa on what they do; for improjicr and unwise acts will tell against her good more at this and other times. The views held by this Confederate officer, cannot lie too highly commended. Our illus trious leaders, Generals Lee and Jousstos— men ri'bo embarked in the war from princi ple, staked tlicir all upon its issue; men, whose courage and patriotism arc beyond suspicion, set tlic example in accepting the! situation, and in exhorting their countrymen to cease all opposition and agitation. They did not submit witli the superstitious rever ence of the Bengalee to the mandate of fanaticism, but bowed to the decree ofndvcrsc fortune, with the resignation of tme cliris- Tlicy justly argued that, ns wc had appealed to the arbitrament of arms, and ap pealed unsuccessfully, it lichooved us to ac quiesce uncomplainingly in its decision. Time has vindicated tbc wisdom of the example thus Set by these two, first in wan and first in peace. Before tbc conclusion of hostilities, many expected that in the event of subjugation, wc should be treated with such harshness as would eclipse the sufferings of any previous subjugated people. But for two events, this sad fate would undoubtedly have been reserved to us. Many hoped and argued, that even in the event of our ar mies licing dispersed in the field, yet actua ted by the resolution to conquer, or to die, wc would follow tlia example of the Cam- anclic and Seminole Indians, take to the swamps and mountains, and finally wcary our enemies into acknowledging our inde pendence. Again: Mr. Jcunsox was sup posed to Ire a man consumed with diabolical passions, his hatred of the Southerners ac- eknowlcdgrd, and only needing an opportu nity, to reduce us to unfathomable depths of misery and degradation. In course of time, Mr. Johnson occupied the presidential chair, and Pastors. Ox Memoir*.--A. N. Wvnn. Wm. A. Sim- Ox Eriodcals.—Wm. J. Parks, J. E. Evans, W. T. Crrcnlev. W. Knox, L. It Red ding.

N' i tary fairs are gotten up, and sometimes will (if property wrought up, and placed before the public in good shape) enable the recipi ents to garner sundry favors. But the same things are no endorsement to a claim for office. A man wanting office, requires differ ent credentials than stumps and scars. There is no doubt some truth in what the Tima alleges^ above. Though not strictly pertinent, we will cite a fact that we wit nessed a few years ago, in illustration of the dfferencc of treatment accorded to the vol unteer and veteran. About the time of Walk er's famous occupation of Nicaragua, many young men were invited to join him by the applause of the public; voice. All of those who left the Gulf States on this knight er rant expedition, were regarded almost as he- ros. After awhile, a steamboat load, filled with wounded and broken down men, reached the Balise, at the mouth of the Mississippi river, utterly destitute, and anxious to reach New Orleans. The tow boats, however, re fused to take them up, without being paid in advance, and none of the filibustering sym pathisers in New Orleans were willing to de fray the expense.

In regard to the nunored complications in French and American affairs, the Independ ence Beige says, the intention of the French government, not to continue the occupation of Mexico beyond what is absolutely neces sary, and thereby to remove all cause of dis pute with the United States is more decided than ever. It is even said that a speech from thc throne, at the next meeting of the French chamber, will announce the immediate and entire evacuation of Jlexico by thc French troops. Belgium papers of the 23d say negotiation have been completed for a new corps ofBel- ginn troops for Mexico, consisting of a regi ment of cavalry of 7 squadrons, two' of which will leave in January. An English paper says the spot selected in Westminster abbey, as the last resting place of the late premier, is in thc north transept, where He buried Castlcreagb, Wilberforce, Canning, Charles James Fox, the cart of Chatham and his brilliant son, and a host of worthies, whose names have adorned this country's history. The London Tima of Oct. 23 says: “We have to settle affairs with America to our mutual satisfaction, and Lord Russell has his hand in it.

Thc Conference then adjourned till to-mor row morning. 9 o’clock. The Fashions.—Balmorals of superb qual ity continue in vogue. Black silks quilted in diamonds or fancy pattern of colored stitch ing are veiy fashionable. A popular style is a pattern of embroidery in velvet. It can be made several inches deep around the bottom and to suit thc wearer's taste. Light balmo- rals of poplins, clicoks, stripes, trimmed with fluting or Hght colored embroidered bands are popular. Thc Empire bonnet lias become absolutely hideous. Fashionable milliners Have become disgusted with thc inelegant and abominably ugly hunch-backed looking things, and will not disgrace their establishments by sending ont an article of head gear that is so abso lutely repulsive to the eye. Thc ladies of Paris have tabooed thc fashion. The hunch backed, old fashioned, Dutch gig looking thing, is only affected by gritetta. Thc Marie Antoinette, which‘resembles the gipsy hat, is quite new and a favorite.

Thompson, because thc general refused to ac cept the Drake infamy known as tlie new constitution oath, but offered instead of it an oath prepared by himself, covering the whole ground of constitutional allegiance to the United States and the State of Missouri. The scene was one of marked interest to thc bystanders nnd not unamusing, from the contrast exhibited in thc astonished and very serious faces of the radical judg es, and the composed and determined purpose as shown on thc bronzed fea tures of Gen. Blair. It was evident to all present that the initiative was being taken to overthrow tlic infamous violation of a great vested right—thc right of franchise un shackled by tlic test courage of thc new con stitution. Gen. Blair, after waiting for several to cast their votes, said: “Gentlemen, I offer to cast my vote, and am ready to prove to you I am 21 years of age, and have been a resident citizen of the state of Jlissouri for over 20 years, and that I am otherwise qualified to vote at the present election. Here is my ballot (the gen eral here presented to Judge Ridley his bal lot.) I have prepared nnd now offer you an oatli of allegiance, whiciri have subscribed nnd sworn to. I decline to take the oath prescribed by the new constitution of Missou ri, and desire you to decide that I am enti tled to cast my ballot without takjng.said new constitution oath. Mr. Ridgley replied—“We can’t decide so, general, but must decide exactly the reverse,” to which'Jlr.'Thompson assented. Gen. Blair then said—“Gentlemen, I re quire you to say, whether my ballot is reject ed, only because I have refused to r ,tpke the new constitution oath fj* The judges answered—“Entirely so for no other reason, because yon refuse to take the constitution .oath.” Gen. Blair inquired— ‘Do you regard me in all other respects as a qualified voter?” Messrs. Ridgley and Thompson replied— “Certainly, your vote is rejected upon that ground and that ground only.” The ballots for Jlcssrs. Peekham and Daily were then folded by Mr. Ridglcy and mark ed to him “rejected,” and Gen. Blair quietly left the poll. Keen ox tiie Edoe.—Lawyers arc sharp —don’t fool with them. We heard of an in cident recently that was in point A. sued B. to recover a claim of $100. A’s lawyer made out the papers, which were served on B., who is luinself a lawyer. The papers were not duly stamped ns the law directs, consequently B. took it easy and did not ap pear. Plaintiffs were much surprised—look- ed_ over thc papers to see what informality might occur, whereupon the defendant could hang an excuse for not appearing, but found none. New papers were made out, and thc amount sued for reduced—inadvertantly so low that no stamp was required. A’s coun sel served the papers. An interview took place. B. explained why he did not appear to answer at first, and informed his brother at law that lie had laid himself liable to tho government fine of $109 for not stamping, as the law requires—$50 of which was to go to Uncle Sam and $50 to the informant; but lie would waive his $50, but not Uncle Sam’s.'— Tlie counsel for the plaintiff was nonplussed. He never bought $50 worth of experiencee so suddenly in all his life. Suffice it to say, the claim of his client was adjusted satisfactorily all around without any trial at all.—Dacen- Ladiks Look Out.—Our eastern exchanges state that the gang of thieves have commenc- . , cd robbing women.

CRUGER. jS?” Tlic New York correspondent of the Boston Pott says: Perhaps it is rank heresy to say it, but there are some people who are not in tears over the departure of the “English capitalists" j by the Scotia, on Wednesday. Tlicir jour-' neyings and junketings across the coun try ought to have sent them home, not only in great good hnnior but considerably ela ted anent the worshipful reception accorded them by almost all classes of our people. Their repute, as possessors of immense wealth, which on investigation, they were w aiting to scat ter broadcast over the United Sates, did not fail to bring around them multitudes of mam monish moths, whose ideOartry was both transparent and ludicrous to lookers on. But it seems that, even across the water, they have not been without witnesses, for the London Saturday Reriae of Oct. 7th, sneeririgly says: “We may langh heartily at thc •perfect ova tions’ with which it appears that certain En glish railway capitalists are being received in the United States, and when we remember Sir Jlorton Peto and Mr. Kinnaird. it is ex cessively funny to read the mighty aphorism of thc American journalist that ‘the capital ists of a country are its brains.’” When will onr people give over worshipping the golden calf of British capital—which is an idol that sneers at and snubs its devotees in proportion as their devotion grows warm and servile ?
