Our WasMagtra Correspondence. THE ATLANTIC TELBORAPH. The success which has Attended the last at tempt toetretch a telegraphic wire across the bed of the Atlantic, may, justly be regarded as one of the grandest achievements of the nineteenth century, sad yet the event seems to have occasioned but little excitement, compared witji the frantic exultation which succeeded the illusory success of. 1858. It seems that the old-time excitement had given way to the settled faith in the possible’union of the two continents by an electric cable, and a determination to effect that union des pite the difficulties and disappointment which, atone time, gave rise to the mbit gloomy apprehensions. Every unsuccessful attempt, however, had been proceeded by great improvements in the manufacture ol the cable, the appliances for laying it, and the instruments for signaling. The first undertaking was but a .crude affair in com parison with that of 1866. The cable, in 1857, had a breaking strain of a little over three tons, or was capable of bearing five miles of its own length in water. The pres ent one has withstood a strain of eight tons, or twelve miles oAts own length in. water. « Then a slight defect of insulation was fatal; now, so wonderfully have.telegraphic instru ments been improved that it is easy to work through a submarine cabie with a foot of its copper conductors stripped bare to thdSvater. The first attempt to stretch a telegraphic wire on the present line was made in the summer of 1857. The cable was coiled hall ■on board the steamship Niagara, and half on the steamer Agamemnon. They began to lay it in -mid-ocean on the 26th June, the Niagara proceeding toward the American coast, and the Agamemnon toward Ireland. After the wire had three times bioke, the attempt was given up. The following Au gust it was renewed on a different plan. The shore end was made fast at Valentia Bay, and the Niagara began paying out on the 7th, the purpose being that Ihe Agamemnon should begin operations when the Niagara had ex hausted her half of the cable. On the lfth, after 355 miles had been laid, the line broke again- The third attempt was made with the same vessels in 1858. The ends of the cable were joined in ;mid oceau on the 23th July, and on the Gth August the two ships arrived simultaneously at their respective destinations. For a few days it was possible to flash intelligence across the ocean. Mr. Buchanan aad Queen Victoria exchanged friendly greetings; the people went wild with rejoicings; but the electric current grew weak and uncertain ; a few faint quiverings was felt and all was still. Some unknown cause at the bottom of the sea had destroyed the insulation, and the wire was useless. But there is good reason to hope that with all the mechanical improvements that have been made on the present cable, it will be attended with a better fate. V, i : k: J ■ * Gossir an Washington—It is whispered in Washington, says the Nashville Gazette, that the President is about to publish to the world a lot of letters written to him while he was Governor of Tennessee. These letters will “show up” in no enviable light a num ber of distinguished men in the North who are just now opposing the policy of Mr- Johnson. Mr. Sumner has had a long pri vate interview with the President, for the purpose, so says rumor, of dissuading him from making public these letters, for it is said that this Radical Senator is deeply in terested in not having them brought before the eyes of the public. The correspondent who gives the above gossip thinks that some thing more definite will come to light in the course of a week or two. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, July 27, 1866. The President ia said to be disturbed at the selection of Wood and Vallandigham, and th^t class of men to the Philadelphia Convention. There is such a prejudice against these men at the North, that they weaken any party thejr act with. Vnlland iugham has been here for several days, but it is said the President thas not found tim^ to give him an audienfee. The Republicans are tryifig to make capi tal out of the Fenians. Hesce their new born zeal for remodeling the neutrality laws. It is an immense piece of demagogueism, and the Democrats, not to be behind-hand, voted to a man for the bill; so that this important measure pissed the House without a dissent* ing vote, Raymond, of New York, as usual making a speech on one side, and giving his vote to the other. He takes the greatest pain? to prove himself the poorest creature in Congress. # It is amusing to see that Gen. Blair has in stituted a suit In St. Loots for a libel, be cause he was charged with appropriating silver and china seized on Sherman’s infa mous march, to his own use. But why so squeamish. The General in command per mitted the most unlicensed system of plun der. What difference does it make, whether the.y’sbared the spoils which they aoiltorigeil a licentious soldiery to make? They are ashamed of this disgraceful conduct now, but their penitence is rather of theiatest. J udge Patterson, Senator elect from Ten - nessee, the son-in-law of the President, finds some difficulty in getting into liis < .juiioi ta ble seat in the Senate. He tela a State Judgeship’during the war under the Govern ment, which was part of the Confederacy, and took the oath of fidelity to the Confederacy. His friends in the Senate take the ground that what he did was under compulsion, and to aid the Union cause. The United States might well ask, “Call you this backing of your friends ?” Some persons suggest that, upon the principle of the girl who excused herselffor adding to the population’of the world, that “it was a very small baby,” Judge Patterson might be relieved by insist ing that he was a small specimen of a Judge. The Congress scatter money light and left with a lavish hand. Even Senator Fessen den complains of his party friends. He says: “There was too much heedlessness iq.appro priating the public money. It was not the ease before the war, but now every’ one seemed to desire to be foremost in appropri ating the public money.” In the general harvest of plunder, Congress takes care to increase its own salary t8 -$5,000. besides mileage. The Senate has passed the amendment ap propriating 8230,360 21 to pay those persons at the South who took the census in 1860, but with a proviso that no money' shall be paid to Any marshal “who took part in the rebellion.” This is a very vague phrase. Those who can swear, and prove by two wit nesses that they took no part in the rebel lion will get their money, > The reply of the Presidents the House resolutions requestingintercession for lenien cy to the Fenian pnsoners shows, by the response tolt, that the Executivfe branch had been fully alive to the importance t»f the Fe nian vote, and had’ lost no time in putting their sickle into the Fenian harvest. THE TAX ON SOLD WATCHES. The following correspondence explains it self: > . * . TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Office or Internal Revenue, WaskwgYox, July 24th, 1866.—Sib: In reply to your letter of the 16th inst., calling my Attention to, an enclosed newspaper article purportingAo give the-col lections returned on gold watches from cer tain States, I have to say that the tax on watches is included in the annual list, ami was first imposed in May, 1865, under the act offline 30th, 1864. . By the regulations [ of this office, assistant assessors are required to complete fceir annual lists and forward them to the assessor on or ..before the 30th day of May, and the assessor is required to deliver a complete list to the collector of his district oq^erjhefore the 30th day of June in each year. The first tax on watches was not, there fore, property flue before the 30th of June, 1865, when the lists were placed in the bands of collectors. A few payments were, how ever, anticipated during that month, and appear in the statistical tables of the annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30th, Bjr'Telegrftijfi..'

It is impossible, there fore, at present to give the total collections made on the first assessment of gold watches.

At the commencement of the battle an iron-clad boat blew up, with all on board, amidst cries of “Long live the King and Italy” from the crew. Italian accounts state that the Austrian squidson retired after one man-of-war and two steamers tad been sunk.

More Counterfeit Manufactories Seiz ed.—A New"York paper of Thursday states that another descent upon the. counterfeiters was made Wednesday, this time at No. 43 Maiden-lane. The officers hoped’ to cap ture the entire gang, but only found, one man,- John Brim, on the premises. Him they captured, together -with a large quan tity of counterfeiting material, consisting of a very fine and elaborate transfer press, dies, plates, &c.j of the aggregate value of about $100,000. Brim was lodged in Ludlow street jail, where about twenty persons are now in carcerated charged with being connected with some of the various counterfeiting gangs. The Solicitor of the Treasury is said to be possessed of information which will doubtless lead to the detection, arrest and conviction of most, if not all, the princi pal counterfeiters in the United States. A Cairo dispatch gives the particulars of another peculiarly Radical proceeding tb&t recently occurred at Cape Girardeau. The sisters, teachers of a religious school for young ladies at that place, were arrested by Radical officers from Missouri, for teaching without taking the oath. The greatest indig nation was aroused among all classes of the people by this contemptible conduct, and the prisoners were accompanied to the jail by the entire population. The final result was that, through mingled shame and fright, the Radicals were brought to their senses and re leased the young ladies. ft A Racy Correspondence.—“The Land we Love,” edited by General D. H. Hill, at Char lotte, North Carolina, tells an anecdote of Stonewall Jackson and General Early, in the last number, that is pretty good. Going up the Valley of Virginia on one occasion, Early’s men got hold of too much applejack, and straggled a great deal. At the end of the day’s inarch the following correspond ence ensued between Jackson and Early : “ Headqcartxrs Left Wing. “General : General Jackson desires ,to know why he saw so many of your Stragglers in rear of your division to-day. “A.

A G:” The bill to equalize bounties, rejected by the Senate as an amendment to the Civil Appropriation bill, but inserted into it by the House, is the vilest measure of derna- gogneism ever taken up by a legislative body. There is no pretence that the Government owes the soldiers a cent, but because the last recruits got high bounties, when people were not.so sharp-set to become^’food for pow der,” it is claimed the first recruits must be made equal to them. The .principle, earned out to ite legitimate extent, it is said, will take $3,000,000,000, and the Secretary of the Treasury has given written notice that the Treasury can’t go on under this new load.

The Convention to be held at Philadelphia on the 14th of August will be the first gather ing for mAny years of the people from all sections of the Union. For this reason, if for no other, it.will be a remarkable assembly. Not since the first blow at Sumter, in 1861, have the representatives of all the States met in any council, either ecclesiastical or civil, or come together for any purpose whatever upon a common platform. We shall be greatly mistaken if this fact has not a marked influence upon the spirit of those who, for the first time in six years, shall greet each other as brethren. Over the intervening graves, stronger than the memory of the bitter strife, hushing the tumult of sectional animosities, will come the hallowed associa tions of the earlier days, and the hearts of old-time brethren will once more flow to gether. The blood that has been shed will rest ia the grave of buried controversy; ana the warmer current of a fresher" life will be quickened in the hearts of those who still owa the tie that makes them one, and meet' to kindle anew the glow of patriotism that binds them in a common allegiance. With such a spirit in the convention there will be neither reproaches for the past nor distrust for the future, and the only question will be, how to best remove from all parts of the laud the traces ot the evil days, and to develope anew the sonrees ot the national prosperity, ft is a happy circumstance, that the con- the House to-day, is a labored argument to’ venlion, as a body, will have no party ties, ' and owe no allegiance to any platform ex cept the implication in the call under which it assembles.

That the Radicals should conceive the Idea of trying Mr. Davis by a packedjury does flfyt surprise us in the least; that Underwood tbould offer himself, as a willing tool to carry out the execrable plot is in harmony with bis antecedents and his character; but that the Radical majority in Congress should be willing to put these facts on record and publish them in an official document does surprise us. We are more than surprised—we are-astounded.”—Rich mond Times. ’ J . The Philadelphia Convention to be Bro ken up by Roughs.—The correspondent of the New York Commercial writes from Phil adelphia : Thp Convention to bo held here in August, under the direction of Means. Doolittle and Company Is regarded with great disfnvor here. The returning soltliehi and -fire com panies freely and openly declare that they in tend to break up the ‘gathering, and a move ment lobking to that end Wnow said to be on foot There are a large nnmber of invalids and Convalescent loldiers still about the hos pitals here who affiliate to a considerable ex tent with the firemen, and assert that they can prevent the holding of any such meeting, especially 'as phbiic sentiment is against it* Any violence, however, will of course be summarily headed off and punished. Ex tensive preparations are being made to ten der a warm greeting and welcome to those attending tne Southern Union Convention, which meets in September. who love party more than country, have tried in vain to prevent this meeting of breth ren long estranged, and will doubtless make still another effort to keep alive the hatreds and jealodsies of the past, and to sow the sctd6 of fresh dissensions. All such attempts must fail in the presence of the better spirit which has been invoked, and which, we trust, will rule in all hearts. It we are to learn anything from the past, it should be the lesson erf mutual forbearance and mutual trust. Half a million of lives, and thousands of millions in treasure, have been sacrificed on the altar which parly spirit erected, and it is not yet satisfied. Fresh victims are de manded, and if they were granted, it would still cry, “Give, give.” If all sections but one were annihilated, it would turn upou it self as fierce as ever, for its cravings know neither abatement nor Baliety. It will he a relief, therefore, to see one convention of the people bound by no party ties, and free to suggest measures for the common good, with out restraint from the shackles which have proved the bane of most political assemblies. Some selfish and unscrupulous men wffl doubtless find their way into the Convention, but they will be powerless for evil if the good and the true men of all parties are only reso lute, and will act in concert. The occasion is eminently fitted to secure such united and harmonious action; and if it lead to this re- suit it will send a thrill of joy. to every true heart throughout the nation. We trnst that all who would rejoice in such a blessed con summation will do wbat they can in time to secure the attendance of delegates whose un selfish patriotism is snperior to personal-con siderations or mere party affinities, and that no element of discord will creep into the as sembly through the apathy or neglect of any portion of the people.—Journal of Commerce. Gsnbral Beauregard.—The London Owl is iffformed that General Beauregard was offered by the Hospodar of Moldo-Wallachia the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Roumanish army, an honor which was de clined. *6 Counterfeiting Greenback*—The Morals of tbe Male and Female Employees of tbe Treasury. An investigation of more than ordinary im- S ortance is now in progress before United tates Commissioner Osborn, in New York. The prisoner is accused of having in his possession, with intent to utter the same, a counterfeit one hundred dollar three year compound interest Treasury note. The testi mony thus far elicited, if reliable, ‘‘discloses (says the Herald) the existence of a most ex traordinary state of affairs in the printing or engraving bureau of tbe United States Trea sury Department. One witness, employed in the plate printing department, testifies that he was approached in regard to taking impressions of the plates on lead and paper, and furnishing them to outside parties. To ease the conscience of the witness, it was urged that other parties were cheating the Government, and he might just as well have the benefit of doing the same. It appears that the impressions were delivered, the fraudulent printing plater, engraved, and a large issue of counterfeit Treasury notes was the consequence. The investigation-thus flu- shows not only criminal negligence on the part of the persons having in charge the plate printing bureau, but also presents the case in an aspect seriously affecting the moral char acter of certain parties in and out of the de partment A, couple of women, one of whom at least, was employed in the Treasury De partment, are brought upon the stand, aad with great reluctance testify to the criminality of the accused, their complicity with the par ties, and the impurity' of their social relations with them. The immoral character of some of the female employees in the Treasury De- paument has heretofore been a subject of comment. It has even been asserted that if King David had had a Treasury printing bureau in his day, it would not have been ne cessary for hiifi to have sent Uriah to the front. AU these accusations, however, were con sidered mere inventions and scandals, the offspring of malice and envy. But we have in the case before us substantial evidence of a different character. It is unpleasant to dwell upon the social delinquencies of gov ernmental officials; but, however disagreea ble the task, the whole rottenness o£ the Treasury Department, from the thirty mil lions discrepancy under ex-Secretary Chase’s administration, down to the stealing of the impressions of the Treasury note plates of the Government, and the circumstances at tending their transfer to a gang of counter feiters, is a matter of tbe utmost importance, and should not be passed over without a rigid Congressional investigation. It is stated that these alleged] counterfeit plates are not impressions merely, bnt actually the original plates engraved for the Treasury Depart ment. If this be true, so much the more urgent is the necessity for a thorough over hauling of everything connected with the management of the Department, from the beginning of the rebellion to the present time.

T he attention of corfioN planters is tuvited to the claims of this invention, which, in SIMPLICITY, ECONOMY, DURABILITY and POW ER, iurparee* aaf machine for Baling Cotton ever before presented to tbs country. Its great excel lence in these respects makes it THE BEST MACHINE FOB PACKING COTTON ■ IN THE WORLD ! 1. ITS SIMPLICITY.—It is a new and improved application of tbe Screw Power; Just as simple in its constrnctioa as the old ftshioned wooden screw, as' aaatiy managed, and no more liable to get oat of or der. No ropes or pallia* as used in the cotton 2. ITS ECONOMY.—It bn* been demonstrated by itual experiment to be cheaper «h»» the wooden screw. The Umbers used in its construction are much smaller and fewer than those employed in the old screw; the lever* being only is feet tong, and the height ot the whole frame above the bed being only io feet. Al< these timbers can be procured on tup plantation, no matter howexhsuated ttdfcreet. Any ordinary wood workman can build this frame, aad half a dozen bands will pot R aptt a few hours. 3. ITS DURABILITY.—The iersw aad Hot are of iron, and win laaMor years without any appreciable wear. The whole machine oocaniaa an litue apace that it ran be completely covered at very small cost. A ITS POWER.—With a lever only sixteen feet long, one mule iaaoRctent (Or parking tec heaviest bales. Planter* who have need it aay that, with two males, cotton may be compressed an this mac’ 'irshlnment. 'e This Berew wa* invented Jut betee tbe opaadng of the wait and bueataeqnently never been very gen- erally Introduced. Those who hare used it andmen U used, unanimously tonenr in the opinion that It ia UlfKIYALLED AS A OjlVNI SCREW. The folio' afid most repi eSUmale in which have tried it: We haveuaed and seen in operation fer Urn last fire yean, Wright’s Improved Cotton Iron Esrew, and leal no hesitation m pronouncing B the very beat Cotton Screw we have ever known. So’highly do we eataem it, ttatg if practicable to obtain one of thMn. we wtteh! have no other. It is aeaUy halt, simple in its cnnatr nrthte, not Robin to gat oat of order, packs well, with great powm udvtth facility. Edward T. Shepherd. G. Y.BmriM. ~ / W.H-MttthsU. Ga., July 1,l**6. , .

See circular below. .Circular. We claim for the Ploeknce the following advan tages over any and all Sewing Machines: It makee fonr different stitches, the lock, knot, doable lock, and finable knc.t, on one and the same machine. Each stitch being alike on both sides of tbe fabric. Xg- Every Machine has the reversible feed motion, which enables the operator, by simply turning a thumb screw, to hare the work run either to the right or left, to stay any part of the seam, or fasten the ends of seams, without turning the fabric. par• The only Mach ne haring a self-adjusting shuttle tension—tbe amount of tension always being in exact proportion to the siejof the bobbin. pr Changing the length of 9tltch, and from one kind of stitch to another, can readily be done while tbe Machine m in motion, par- The needle is easily adjusted. pan it to almost noiseless, and can be nsed where quiet Is necessary. iw* Tr. motions are all positive; there are no springs to getont of order, and Us simplicity enables tbe most inexperienced to operate it. tw it does not require finer thread on the under than for the upper side, and will sew across the heaviest seams, or from one to more thicknesses of cloth, without change of needle, tension, or break- ing thread. ^ pay The Hemmer is easily adjusted and will turn any width of hem desired. pw No othet Machine will do so great a range of work as the Florence. iW~It will hem, fell, bind, gather, braid, quilt, and gather and sew ou a raffle at the same time. The taking ap of tbe slack threadis not performed by the irregnlar contraction of a «i r e coil or uncer tain operation of wire levers. Tbe precision and ac- curacy with which the Florence draws the thread into the cloth is unapproached In any Sewing Ma chine hitherto offered in the market, We furnish each Machine with “Barnum’a Self- Sewer,” which guides the work itself, and Is of in calculable value, especially to Inexperienced opera tors. “It is folly protected and licensed by EUas Howe, Jr., and his associates, and our own Letters Patent. While possessing the above, and many other ad vantages, the Florence is sold at corresponding prices with other first class Machines, and a carefel exami nation will folly substantiate all that we have claimed for it, and Justify the assertion we now make, that U is the best Sewing Machine in the world. We warrant every Machine to be all that we claim forlt, and will give a written warranty if required. Liberal arrangements made with thoee who bn; to sell again.
