Lcvjituj of the Shore End. The following telegrams had been received from Valentia concerning the operations on board the Great Eastern, Ac. : Valentia, Saturday, July 22.—The shore end of the cable was landed this morning successfully, the weather being beautiful. Connections were made with the instrument room at 12.45 p. m , in the presence of a large concourse of people. The Knight of Kerry, in a few appropriate observa tions, invoked success upon the undertaking, and, in conclusion called upon Sir Robert Peel, who delivered an admirable address. Three cheers were given for Her Majesty the Queen, and also for the President of the United States. Cheers were likewise given for Mr. A. R. Glass, and Capt White, of the Coast Guard, who has rendered most valuable assistance. Valentia, July 23—Evening.—The paying out of the heavy shore oable; 27 miles in length, was completed at 11 1-2 o’clock last evening by the Carolina. The splice with the main oable on board the Great Eastern was completed at 4.25 p. m. to-day, and then commenced the paying out from tho Groat Eastern. The testing through the whole length is porfect. The weather is very fine. H. M S. Terrible and Sphinx are in com pany with the Great Eastern. Ojierations on Monday—A Hitch Discovered and Rejiaired. Valentia, July 24.—A dispiriting message has been received from the Great Eastern, dated 4 1-2 o’clock p. m., announcing some ,Infects of insula tion. The mischief is supposed to exist about two or three miles west of the shore-end of the splice, believed to be caused by the Great Eastern pulling on her end of the cable with too much strain be fore the shore-end splice was properly completed. The Great Eastern remains hove to in lat. 52 degs., long. 10 degs., about 80 miles from shore. The Hawk goes away to her to-night, and the Caroline is going to pick up and underrun the splice, and repair the fault. Not the slightest apprehension exists as to the complete and imme diate repair of the damage to the insulation. The rest of the cable remains perfect, and even now the signals to the clearing house are very dis tinct. A Liverpool telegram of July 25 says : “Up to 1 o’clock yesterday the paying out of the Atlantic Telegraph cable had progressed very favorably, but shortly after that hour the insulation became imperfect, and it at once was evident that a ‘hitch’ in the cable had ta ken place about four miles from where the shore end was spliced to the main cable. A steamer was at once sent out, the disarranged portion of the cable ‘raked’ up, aud this morn ing, at 4 o’clock, everything was safe, and the Great Eastern, which had been hove to for some hours, at once proceeded on her voyage. The land line of the Magnestic Telegraph Com pany to Valentia was down to-day, but the very latest advices to Mr. Seward, of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, are to the effect that the paying out of the cable was progressing as well as was anticipated. The sea was comparative ly smooth, with scarcely any swell, notwith standing the recent severe gafe, and it was ex pected the “paying out” on board the Great Eastern would be much quicker than was at first believed. It has been stated that the ‘hitch’ occurred in consequence of a sudden strain upon the cable. This was not the case. The ‘hitch’ was caused by the cable becoming, as it were, knotted, or doubled up more from being slack than taut.” Operations on Tuesday—A Fault in the Cable Discovered and Cut Out. Valentia, Tuesday, July 25 —The Great East ern telegraphs from lat. 52 deg. Ion. 12 deg. that a small fault has been discovered and cut out.— She is now paying out again, and the signaling is perfect. Weather very fine. Ojierations on Wednesday—Signals Good— Th rec Hundred Miles out at Sea. A dispatch from Queenstown per steamship City of Boston, dated July 27, states that the steamship Great Eastern was, on that morning, 300 miles out at sea, paying out the cable suc cessfully. Tbe signals were good and the weather line. The followiog dispatch from on board the Great Eastern to Mr. Saward, London, is of interest: “Tuesday, 11 p. m.—150 miles of cable laid. “12 Midnight—150 miles run. “Wednesday, 6 a. m.—200 miles ot cable laid. Signals good. All is going on well.” Dispatch from Cyrus W. Field. A private note from Cyrus W. Field says : “We expect to reach Heart’s Content, Newfound land, about the 5th of August.” One Day Later from Europe.

'Commercial ‘intelligence. The Brokers’ Circular reports the sales of Cot ton in the Liverpool markets, for the week end ing with Thursday, at 49,000 bales; of which 7,500 were taken on speculation, and 10,000 tor export. The market had been dull, and prices were lower for American, and ]^d. a %&. lower for other descriptions. The authorized quotations are Middling Or leans 19%d; Middling Uplands and Texas 19^d. The sales on Friday the 28th, were 5,000 bales, the market closing dull ana unchanged. The stock in port was estimated at 323,500 bales, of which 30,500 are American. The Manchester market was dull on the 28th, and prices had a downward tendency. In the Liverpool BreadstuSs market on Tues day, Floor and Wheat had a declining tendency. Corn we s firmer. The Provision market was steady on the same day. Public meeting in Cherokee County. Notice haviog been giving, a meeting of tbe citizens took place at Canton on Tuesday, the 1st day of August, 1365. Nathaniel J. Garrison was called to the Chair, and Wfh. Grisham elected .Secretary-. The Chairman was then, by vote, called upon to appoint a committee of five to propose busi ness tor the action of the convention ; whereupon he appointed James R. Brown, Isaac McConnell, James C. Coffee, .'oseph Heard and James I. D. Harbin, Esquires, that Committee ; who, after re tiring a few minutes, made tbe following report: Whereas, the controversy between the North and Sooth which caused so much excitement and engendered so much bitter feeling between the two sections for many years past, was by the re cent revolution referred to the highest tribunal kttown among nations for the settlement of diffi culties between them—that of wi r; and, where as, after a long and bloody struggle the resources of tbe South have been exhausted, and her gal lant armies overpowered by numbers, and com pelled to lay down their arms and submit to the outhority of the United States, which makes a final decision of tbe question ot controversy be tween the two sections, and compels Georgia to return to the Union, and take her place among her sister States under the Constitution of the United States; Therefore, Resolved, by the people of Chero kee county, 1st, That whatever may be our in dividual opinions as to who was right and who was wrong in the stupendous struggle which has settled the questions at issue between us, it is now the duty of every citizen of Georgia to submit to the decision, and obey the laws, and endeavor to make a peaceable and good citi zen, and to support the government under which we and our children after us have got to live, and to which we look for protection. Resolved 2d, That we recommend aU good citizens to take the amnesty oath, and qualify themselves as voters at the earliest opportuni ty; and that ignoring all past differences of opinion and party questions, they support their ablest, best and honest men as delegates to the State Convention, which meets at Milledgeville on the fourth Wednesday in October next, for the purpose of organizing the State, establish ing civil government, and framing a Consti tution for ourselves and posterity. Resolved 3d, That while Georgia was attempt ing to throw off the Government of the United States, and establish the Government of the Confederate States, she maintained her honor and observed the best of faith with her own citizens, and with those States with whom she was associated, as she has ever done in her past history, and that in her failure to succeed she was not disgraced. Looking, therefore, with pride to her past history, we feel confident that in whatever new relation she may enter, she will observe her good faith by redeeming all her obligations both to her own citizens and to the Government of the United States, there by vindicating her honor, and transmitting her "fair name to the latest posterity. Resolved 4th, That this meeting condemns all forcible and illegal seizures of property which have been made during the war by citizens claim ing to belong to different parties, and it is the sense of this meeting that good faith requires that said property be returned to tbe rightful owners thereof, without reference to the political opinions of the parties from whom it was taken ; but we recommend parties from whom property was taken to use no violent means to recover the same, but as the remedy in the courts will be ample, it should be sought there. The Report was adopted with but two oppos ing votes. Resolved also, That the Chairman and Secre tary address the President ot the United States, or some other authorized officer, aod request that au authorized officer be seat to this county, or some citizen be authorized to administer the amnesty oath to our citizens. Resoled, That a copy of these proceedings be furnished the Intelligencer, of Atlanta, request ing that paper to publish the same. N. J. Garrison, Chairman. Wm, Grisham, Secretary. \ Atlanta Intelligencer, Sth. Gen. Wriuiit.—We had yesterday the pleas ure of a brief interview with Gen. A. R. Wright. During his conversation, the General remak- ed most sensibly on the existing state of af fairs. lie said it was the true interest for every man in Georgia to be obedient to the authori ties and promptly to acquiesce in the orders issued. To willingly accept the true status of affairs, and go to work with a will to restore Georgia to the position formerly occupied by her. That the quicker Georgia resumed her old place among the States the better for all. The General also said that there should be but one party in the State, that there should be no division among the people; but that all should do their utmost to accomplish the great object —the reinstating of Georgia. It affords us much gratification to find that the leaders in the late struggle feel inclinted so strongly to have everything adjusted as rapidly as it is for the best interests of all.— Now if the people who listened to and followed their advice in days gone by, will only profit by their example and advice now, there will be no disturbance, or jarring, or party discus sions in this State until we get into a position where all matters can be safely fliscussed with out detriment.—Augusta Chronicle. Gen. Howell Cobb.—This gentleman is now spending a few days in our city. We are pleased, to see him enjoying such good health. In a conversation with the General, he ex pressed a great desire to have all matters now in agitation settled at once; aud wished most heart ily to see Georgia once more resuming her former position in the Union. The issues which have lately convulsed this country he considers forever disposed of. Slavery he says can never be resuscitated in any shape.— He thinks it best that all submit promptly and willingly to the United States authorities; that matteis which have passed should be numbered among the things that were; and should cot be dragged into the present, thereby creating dis- pord, apd trammeling the moveurin's ot those who are doing all they can to settle allairs. We are convinced that if all the people of this State had the same feelings in regard to matters as Gen Cobb, that no difficulties would arise in the way of Georgia returning to the Union. Let those who have followed the General in days gone by, take his good counsel now and profit Dy it.— Augusta Chronicle. Strange.—A fact which forcibly demon strates the scarcity of money at the South, is the shipment of cotton yams and cloths from Georgia to the North. Several weeks since | we noticed the arrival in i’hiladelphia of a ; large quantity of cotton manufactured goo^s I from Georgia, an4 we have j ust seen the state: I raent in a Louisville market report that the small stock of cotton yams, osnabnrgs and ; sheetings in that city had been augmented by 1 direct shipments from Georgia. When we take i%o consideration the fact that nearly ! all the cotton factories in Georgia were de stroyed shortly before the downfall of the Oon- federacy; that even while they were in opera- fioq the supply of cotton goods by them was wholly inadequate to the demand or the con sumption ; and that at this time the Sooth is nothing like so well supplied with goods of that description as toe North, we can attribute this “carrying of coals to Newcastle” to ' nothing else than the present poverty of our people and the inflexible law of trade that car ries all commodities,under all circumstances, to the best market,—* Columbus Enquirer. Florida* From a copy of the Floridian and Journal of the 5th, published at Tallahassee, Florida, we glean the following items of interest: The Tallahassee Postofiice lias been re opened, at its former place, under charge of Harrison Reed, Esq , Special Agent of the De- j partment. Mails are now regularly made up for Jacksonville and the East aud North three times a week, and for Apalachicola, Pensaco la, Mobile and New Orleans, on the departure of transports from St. Marks, twice a week. Postage stamps and stamped envelopes can be had at the Postofiice. Brig. Gen. Ascoth, Commanding the Western District of Florida, with headquar ters at Barancas, arrived in this city on Satur day to confer with the Commanding General, in hope of meeting the Provisional Governor. He remained until Wednesday and returned without accomplishing his purpose, as General Newton had just left for Jacksonville, and Gov. Marvin had not arrived. The General, is a most agreeable and courteous gentleman and a gallant officer. He is one of the dis tinguished Hungarians who was expatriated with Kossuth, and offered his services to the country at the outbreak of the war. He has made an honorable record and is yet scarcely recovered front severe wounds received in battle. He is an accomplished Engineer, and, as chief of staff of Gen. Fremont, planned the fortifications around St. Louis; he also as sisted in planning the works and laying out Central Park, New Y'ork. He was accompa nied by Captain Messair, of the First Florida Cavalry, and Lieut. . Tallahassee, Florida, and Albany, Georgia. We are pleased to see that a line of Hacks has been established, by Messrs. Hill & Wright, to run between these two places, bv way ot Thom- asvilie, Georgia. Until the Railroad shall be completed between Tbomasville and Savannah, the travel North from Florida must be by Alba ny. This uew line of Messrs. Hill & Wright is au enterprise which will pav handsomely when the public shall have learned its existence Thomas- ™le is thirty-five miles from Tallahassee. From Thomasville to Albany the distance is sixty miles; from Albany to Macon one hundred aud six. At Albany communication can be had with any city iu Georgia, and thence with any other part of the country We learn from the Thomasville Enterprise, that the hacks will leave Thomasville for Tallahassee on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, and return to Thomasville from Tallahassee on Tuesday. Thursday aud Saturday, of each week. The line from Thomasville to Albany will leave Thomas ville for Albany ou Tuesday, Thursday and Sat urday, and returning to Thomasville on Wed- nesday, Friday and Sunday, of every week. We will be obliged to any gentlemen for any inform ation of any new route of travel opened in any part of the couutry, and feel sure that the travel ling public will also be thankful for any such in telligence. We have been pent up in the Con federate States so long, and so long deprived of the liberty of going w.herever we wished, that a trip away from home in almost any direction will be a luxury. It will be doubly so, from the fact that we can now go, and be free in going. We will not now be required to get a pass before starting, and will not be subjected to rude insult oa every line of travel. A New Mode of Torture.—A case was brought to the notice of our Provost Marshal a few days since, where a woman residing near this city had inflicted punishment upon a female servant by a new mode called “pegging,” said to have been introduced since negroes were set free. It consists of placing sticks between the fingers and tying them tightly together so as to occasion great torture. We hope such evi dences of cruelty will not be overlooked by oar military authorities. Mail Facilities. Harrison Read Esq., the Agent of the Post Office Department, returned from Pensacola on Saturday, having effected an arrangement for the regular transportation of the mails, by military transports, from St. Marks to Pensacola and Mobile. We have now mail communication through the State, from East to West—from St. Augustine to Jacksonville, tri-weekly, by wagon—from Jacksonville to Tallahassee by rail—from Tallahassee to St. Marks by rail, and from thence to Pensacola by water. Mr. Reed speaks in high terms of the courtesy and liberality of the military and naval authorities in extending to him every facility for the prosecution of his work. We understand it is the intention of the Depart ment to establish the mail service and open the Post Offices on the principal thoroughfares as fast as possible, and we expect soon to he in direct communication with New Y'ork by way of Savannah. Nothing will more raidly de velop the Union sentiment of the people and reconcile the disaffected to the new order of things, than the opening of facilities for inter communication, and the reception of newspa pers from the federal capital and the great com mercial emporium of the nation. Aliiluinnt. Letter from Montgomery. [Oorrespondenoi New Orleans Picayune.] Montgomery, Ala., July 20, IS65. The traveler approaching Montgomery by the river side is appalled at the sight of unseemly piles of brick and charred timbers, as he crosses the burnt district, the last mark of the Confeder^ ates as they retired before Wilson’s victorious army. In those ruins are buried twelve millions of dollars—aotual value of the cotton destroyed, without counting the cost of the valuable ware houses and cotton sheds. This useless sacrifice is deeply felt here, although some of the despoil., ed owners argue that they would have lost their cotton anyhow, as it would have hepn shipped North like the Savannah cotton—they find a sort of philosophical consolation in this reflec tion. Albeit, not this nor other losses have orushed the enterprising spirit of the people of Montgom ery. They do not repioe or despond, but have gone to work diligently and without loss of time, to lay the foundations of future prosperity. business part of the city is a regular hep-hive. — Dray3 unloading and loading, merohanQ moving about briskly, with smiling faces; country wagons, with all sorts of ill-matched teams, bringing in produce and, above all, cotton, the great staple, the resut reeled king; sprinkle the wholo with nu merous blue ooats, and relieve it with a back ground of the dusky faces of the newly made American citizens of Ethiopian origin,»aDd you will have a fair picture of t- e portion of the city included between Court, Commerce and Market streets. A great drawback to the city trade has been the want of a currency. It was sorely felt first. Pay day brought some through the hands of the treops, «nd the sales of cotton and produce have brought a very (jesirable increase in the cir culation Everybody being |n want of something (and many lb want of everything), there has been a brisk business done, and, if I judge by the prioes, some traders mast have made a good pile. A lull naturally follows, but tbe. merchants look with great expectations to the fall trade. Cotton is coming in rapidly, as fast as ffi^aps of trans portation can be obtained, and the planters need goods. The distressing condition of our railroads and the impossibility of getting them repaired and provided with sufficient rolling stock in time for the fall and winter trade, tyill paqse the merchants to look to New Orleans &s their best and only purchasing market. If a direot line of boats conld be established between the two cities, it would be a paying enterprise. There is much delay now and freights are much too high. Our mail arrangements, too, are very incomplete, and I hear daily complaints of missing letters from New Orleans via Mobil*. The planters in this section of the country are striving manfully to work their crops, un der many disadvantages. To get the freedmen to work steadily and uninterruptedly is no easy matter. Tbe high wages allowed the laborers by the schedule renders it a matter of impossi bility for any planter to plant on a large scale. It would require more capital than planters generally have and be accompanied by too much risk. All are working, however, on a reduced scale, both as to the number of labor ers and their wages—they being allowed to make private terms by mutual consent. Many negroes are offering their services for their board and clothes. They swarmed in the city and stringent orders had to be issued sending to camps all who had no employment. There is much suffering among the old people and the women and children, and the ratio of mor tality has greatly increased. The military force here is being daily re duced by regiments returning home to be mus tered out. I am glad to be able to say that the behavior of the troops here is most orderly and proper, and that the most friendly feelings ex ist between the military and the citizens. South. Carolina. Letter from Wade Hampton — Hi* Opinion)* on Colonization and Otlier Hatters. The Columbia (South Carolina) Phoenix pub lishes the following letter from the ex-Rebel Gen- Wade Hampton: “ To the Editor of The Columbia Phoenix: “ Numerous communications having been ad dressed to me, proposing to form a colony to emi grate, 1 take this method of answering them, not only on account of their number, but because of the want of all mail ^facilities. The desire to leave a couutry which has been reduced to such a deplorable condition as ours, and whose future has so little of hope, >s doubtless as widespread as it is natural. But I doubt the propriety of this expatriation of so many of our best men.— The very fact that our State is passing through sojternble in ordeal as the present, should cause her sons to cling the more closely to her. My ad vice to all my fellow-citizens is, that they should devote their whole energies to the restoration of law and order, the re-establishment of agricul ture and commerce, the promitiou of education, and the rebuilding of our cities and dwellings which have been laid in ashes. To accomplish these objects—the highest that patriotism can conceive—I recommend that all who can do so should take the oath of allegiance to the United States Government, so that they may participate in the restoration of civil government to our State., “War, after four years of heroic but unsuc cessful struggle, has failed to secure to us the rights for which we engaged ij it. To save any of our rights—to rescue anything more from the general min—will require all the statesmanship and all the patriotism of our citi zens. If the best men of our country—those who for years past have risked their lives in her defense—refuse to take the oath,they will be excluded from the councils of the State, and its destiny will be committed of necessity to those who forsook her in her hour of need, or to those who would gladly pull her down to irretriev able ruin. To guard against such a calamity, let all true patriots devote themselves, with zeal and honesty of purpose, to the restoration of law, the blessings of peace, and to thd res cue of whatever liberty may be saved from the general wreck. If, after an honest effort to ef fect these objects, we fail, we can then seek a home in another country. “A distinguished citizen of our State—an honest man and a true patriot—has been ap pointed Governor. He will soon call a coa- vention of the people, which will be charged with the most vital interests of our State.— Choose for this convention your best and truest men; not those who have skulked in the hour of danger, nor those who have worshipped mammon while their country was bleeding at ever pore, nor the politician, who, after urging war, dared not encounter its hardships; but those who laid their all upon the altar of their country. Select such men, and make them serve as your representatives. You will then be sure that your rights will not be wantonly sacrificed, nor your liberty bartered for a mess of pottage. My intention is to pursue the course I recommend to others. Beside the ob ligations I owe to my State, there are others of a personal character which wilt not permit me to leaye the country at present. 1 shall devote myself earnestly, if allowed to do so, to the discharge of these obligations, public and pri vate. In the meantime, I shall obtain all in formation which would be desirable in the es tablishment of a colony, in case we should ul timately be forced to leave the country. I in voke my fellow citizens—especially those who have shared with me the perils and the glories of the lastjour years—to stand by our state manfully and truly. The Roman Senate voted thanks to one of their generals because, in the darkest hour of the republic, he did not despair. Let ns emulate.the example of the Romans, and thus entitle ourselves to th^ gratitude of our country. Respectfully yours, “Wade Hampton.” GENERAL GRANT’S MOVEMENTS.

Humanity’s Appeal Help tbe Widow! The undersigned, a Committee of the Abra ham’s Home for poor and worthy widows, make this appeal to the benevolence of this community. The Home is a permanent charity of the city, and before the war was self-sustaining. Now it is without any available means of. support. It contains thirty widows from 60 to 90 years of age. They have been selected for their good character and entire dependence. They have no relatives to whom they can look for help. For sir months they aave beeD amply supplied by the government through the military com manding at this post. Now this source of sup ply fails. What is to be done ? We cannot—we must not see them starve ! Humanity forbids it. Yet without help they must starve. •We appeal to all the people residing in Savan nah, and to the officers and soldiers, to aid ns in supporting these aged widows. Some of onr merchants have perishable articles which would be of great use. They might be sent directly to tbe Home, comer of Broughton and East Broad streets. There are some subscribers who have not paid. Let them remember that this is the hour of need. We leave this paper at the newspaper offices for subscriptions of money or food. Articles of food or money may be sent to any member of the Committee.
