The Congress has departed, and the Ex ecutive Government breathes more freely. Such a party as the Radicals holding two- thirds of both Houses of Crongress created a feeling of uneasiness. There was no fore seeing what madness they might not at any moment enact- The Congress passed, before adjourning, tbe bill to equalize bounties. This bill is a mere (largesse to tbe soldiers, not one cent of it being a debt- It is supposed this bill will swallow np $300,000,000. Thff princi ple on which it pretends to go would require $3,000,000,000. The Secretary of tbe Treas ury protested against this measure, intima ting that he could not carry -on the finances of the government if it passed. And yet, in spite of all, for mere electioneering pur poses, it was passed. It is the most unjusti fiable measure of such greAtjmagnitude ever passed by a Legislative body. Tbe vilest demagogueism that ever disgraced human nature never went beyond this. And yet it was promptly approved by the President. What a commentary on Republican institu tions. And yet, the same Congress rejected an appropriation of $253,000 to pay the As sistant Marshals of the Southern States for taking the census of 1860, although guarded by a proviso that no one should be paid un less he could prove that he had taken no part in the secession movement. , The friends of the President are in fine spirits now. Letters from the South encour age them as to the conservative views of those who are going into the Philadelphia Convention. And the indications from the North of Conservative Republicans taking part in the Convention are considered promis ing. Vallandingham and his friends sre still however decaded in the Convention. Mr. Seward is going in strong for the Con vention, and is moving bis friends to action in New York and elsewhere. The Radicals are denouncing Stanton with great bitterness, and the impression begins to exist that he intends to put in his fortunes with the Presi dent. The letter of Mr. Ale ander H. Stephen s to Montgomery Blair, just published, has been read with great interest and produces an admirable effect. The tone and|temper of the letter will do much good. A very- high compliment was paid Mr. Stephens by a Radical a few days since in debate, who spoke of him as “the man who furnished brains to the Confederacy.” Unfortunately though Mr. Stephens famished brains, those in authority in the Confederacy refused to receive his brains. If the diplomacy of the Confederacy had received its inspiration from Mr. Stephens, the Sonth would have been able to make a peace of renpuon on their own terms, instead of being left to the absolute mercy of the United States. The indications are that the President’s friends wiU pursue the contest for power with the Radicals with new energy. The Cabinet is gradually becoming a unit in the support of the President and the power of the Executive Government will begin to be felt as it has never been yet in this struggle. The successful completion of the Atlantic Telegraph, which now joins the old and the new continent, has created a decided sensa tion here. People were expecting a failure, anil were quite surprised and delighted at the result. It is certainly a historical event. The governments and civilization of Europe are now in touching distance. If we could be wise and happy, such contact of ideas would undermine European thrones. But our Government in its present hands seems to have accepted 'the benevolent mission of making republicanism odious to "the world. The Mexican Minister here,Romero, repre sentative of the Jnarez Government, is jubilant over the approaching downfall of Maximilian. His Exoelleney |s troubled by parties in New York issuing bonds for, the Mexican Govern ment, and he has asked our Government to put a stop to it. They have referred him to the courts, and especially suggested to him the case of ‘the Emperor of Austria vs. Kossuth, in which the Court of Chancery in England granted an injunction against Kos suth for making paper money to circulate in amgaiy. | : ;j ;i ■] X * ’ Pauperism anil Airline—-A 'CotnpuTinoii. _ The concluding volume of the census of I860, de voted to social statistics, has been iasued.

The charge of Judge Abell, of New Orleans, together with recent telegrams from that city, had prepared the public mind to expect an early and serious colli sion between the lawful and law-abiding people of that city and the seditious Radicals and negroes who are plotting to overthrow the State Government. That collision has occurred. The following telegrams—al lowance being made for tbe prejudice and determina tion to lie of the writer of the specials to the Tribune- will place before the reader all that is yet known on the subject: ", . [Special Dispatch to the New Tork Tribune. ] New Obleanr, July 28—The Commercial, in an extra, publishes the Governor's proclamation, order ing an election on the 3d of September to fill vacan cies to the Constitutional Convention. There is great enthusiasm among Union men. The rebel Secretary of State refuses to affix his sig nature, but there is a decision in the Supreme Oourt which renders this unnecessary. Sheriffs, Commis sioners of elections and other officers therein con cerned are ordered to hold the. elections. No one will Jbe allowed to vote who hits not taken the oath, as pre scribed by the amnesty proclamation of the President of the United States, either of January 1, 1864, or May 29, 1865: ; George Wayles, rebel, killed Patrick Fox, a promi nent Union man in the parish of St. Charles, on the 15th of July, without the slightest provocation. The wife of Fox applied to Justice Brown for redress, which was denied, whereupon Wayles and Brown wese both arrested under the Civil Rights bill, and are at present lodged in jail. The immense mass meeting is being held in this city to endorse the policy of Congress and the call for the reassemhlieg of the Convention of 1864. The greatest enthusiasm prevails^ The State House is crowded inside and in the street. Governor Hahn presides over the inside meeting, and Judge Haskins over the outside. A torchlight procession, such as was never before seen in this city, will follow. [Special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.] Washington, July 29.—The following has been re ceived from the New Orleans correspondent of the Tribune: , New’ Orleans, July 29.—The Constitutional Con vention will meet to-morrow., There is great excite ment in the city, and loud threats by the rebels to break up the session. The rebel Sheriff, Gen. Harry Hayes, has sworn in a posse of deputies to promote this disruption. Members of the Convention are openly threatened with the-lamp pctt but ike Union men are resolute and sanguine. Tire Governor Lae returned to the city, and is engaged in organizing the militia, irrespective of color, a large force of which will guard the State House. J. A. D.

New Orleans, July 29.—Yesterday Abe Attorney General of the State and the Lieutenant Governor telegraphed to the President of the United States, in forming him cf the violent and incendiary proceed ings and speeches at the Republican negro meeting the night before, stating that a serious riot was feared; that the Governor had issued-a proclamation calling mi election to fill vacancies in the bogus convention, and was in league with the Republicans; that it was intended to indict the members of the convention by the grand jury, and asking it the President intended that the military forces of the United States should in terfere to prevent the execution of civil process. The President replied as follows: Washington, July 28,1866. To Albert Vow'frees, Lieutenant Governor of Lou isiana: The military will be expected to sustain, and no 1 obstruct or interfere, with the proceedings Qf the courts. A dispatch on the subject of this conventioh was sent to Gov. Wells this morning. The Mayor has issued the following proclamation: Mayoralty of New Orleans, I City Hall, July 29, 1866. J Whereas, the extinction convention of 1804 proposes meeting day; and whereas intelligence has reach ed me that the peace and good order of the city might be distuvbed; now, therefore, I, John. T. Monroe, Mayor of the cit^ of New Orleans, do issue this, my proclamation, calling upon the good people of this city to avoid with care all disturbance and collision; and I do particularly call on the younger members of the community to act with stich calmness and pro-, priety as that the good name of the city may not be* tarnished, and the enemies of the reconstruction poli cy of President Johnson be not afforded an opportu nity (so much oonrted by them) of creating a breach of the peace and of falsifying facts, to the great injury of the city and State; and I do further enjoin upon all good citizens to refrain from gathering in or about the place of meeting of said extinction convention, satis fied by recent dispatches from Washington that the deliberations 6f the members thereof will receive no countenance from the President, and that he will sus tain the agents of the present civil government and vindicate its laws and acts to the satisfaction of the good people of the State. John T. Monroe, Mayor. In an interview with the Mayor yesterday, General Baird stated positively that he would prevent the sheriff or posse, or any State or civil officer from in terfering with the convention. The Tribune, a Republican paper, says tlie conven tion will meet to-morrow and adjourn until the middle of September. / THE FREE STATE CONVENTION—ARREST OF THE MEM BERS—THfc ObNVENTION MOBBED—SEVERAL PERSONS KTTAgP AND WOUNDED.

W. HARSH & CO.’S, [From tbe Augusta Constitutionalist.! Timmons' Foundry ud Machine Shops. Augusts it slowly but surely pushing forward in tbe line of mechanical activity and importance. In proof of this we have but to point to the many important mechanical interests now In successful operation. Among the most prominent private interesta in thin line is that of the foundry and machine ahope,owned by Hr. Francis E. Timmons, formerly known as the “Forest City Fonndry,” and conducted by Messrs. Lufburrow 4 Timmons. The junior partner, Mr. Timmons, purchased the interest of Hr. Lufburrow last January, and is now the sole proprietor. Until yesterday we had no idea of the capacity and extent ef these works, anil we now take pleasure in giving them such passing notice as their importance deserves. Every description of casting, marine and stationary engines are manufimtored, the quality and price of which defy competition eiter Nora or Sonth. In this connection it inay he cproper to add font the proprietor has now under cofmHeration a proposition to build machinery for a first class saw mill for a party in Illinois. A correct idea of tbe growth of this establishment can be formed from this fact. & 1862, when pur chased by Messrs. Lnfbnrrow 4 Timmons, the num ber of men employed was limited to twelve. The pay-roll under its present proprietor shows a work ing force of eighty men, engaged in sis different branches of business. It is the intention of Mr. Timmons to increase the capacity of his shop, and for this purpose the lumber is already cat to erect an other large building. Several of our most prominent mechanics and en gineers were present at the shops yesterday to exam ine a new 56-liorse power saw mill engine, fitted np with the hnk motion, and combining all the modern improvements of vsivc gearing, which was designed by Mr. Joseph Neal, superintendent of the works. Those present gave it as their opinion that In design, finish and capacity, the engine posecaaeij advantages over any other now in nse, Mr. Neal is an experienced and Ingenious mechanic, and possesses versatile and great practical ability. Under his direction the Bath paper mills were built. Mr. Timmons, Uks Mr. Neal, ts a practical mechanic, and the conduct of his estab lishment speaks well fbr Usability. But aatotbs engine. Tbe saw mill which the engine in question ia in tended to op, r ite was built at these worse of a pattern of original design. Several of these saw mills are now in operation, the machinery of which was all made at this establish ment. Persons who have seen than in operation pronounce them the best mills in the county. They will cut twenty thoussnd feet of lumber per day. The mill and engino now at the works have bean bnilt for Messrs. Linville 4 Gleason, of Savannah, and will be operated on the Central Bailroad. These facts are certainly worthy of public attention and it ia to’he hoped that oair people will adhere to a policy which encourages and stimulates Southern en terprises, and that is to support hotne interests. w understand that Mr. T. is about to snbmit an estimate for the building of a steam fire engine for one of our city companies. He has the ability and facility to make a first-class engine, end it Is to be hoped that Augusta will have the honor of having produced a steam fire engine. In cfondnrion, we publish the following letter, .Which speek* for itself: EmakBkl Co.. Ga., 1 May 16th, 1866. j F. E.
