CoiTtr TELKOBArniNO.—The National In-

" lt Washington of the Associated Press,
^ j a case of the success of the Atlantic
/^ispb enterprise, the expense of two mes-
^ ft day from London, of twenty words

Z presses, augment, while the embarrassed
{ »dition of financial and commercial affairs,
jjjjjg from continued political agitation
r^jiast the South, is depressing the newspa-
pr business,
gr The only opposing votes in the House,
«the question of admitting the representa-
fires of Tennessee to their seats, were the fol
loving twelve gentlemen—all Radicals:
jlMsrs. Alley, Eliot and Boutwell, of Massa
chusetts; Benjamin, McCIurg and Loan, of
Missouri; Highy, of California; Jenckes, of
Rhode Island; Julian, of Indiana; Payne, of
Wisconsin; and Williams and Kelley, of
Pennsylvania. Thad. Stevens voted yes,
unidst tbe jeers and derisive laughter of his
followers, thus resorting to his old trick of
jumping out of the back window when dan
ger approached.
To Croakehs.—Read the article, “All
Lost,” in our present issue, and try and catch
a little of its inspiration. It breathes a
spirit which should fire the heart of every
Southerner. ""
We must protest, though, against the wri
ters ascription to us of tbe word “disconso-
lateness.” We allddcd to Mr. Lamar, and
his brother dueontolatt*, using the adjec
tive for the noun, as is frequently done by
good writers. There is authority for this “dis
consolateness,’’ but we have no fancy for the
word, and never use it.
Delegates From the State-at-Laroe.—
If the Conventions yet to be held should lail
to adopt some uniform course, we shall prob
ably be unrepresented at Philadelphia by
delegates from the State-at-large. The Fourth
District Convention, which was the first to
n.ect, adopted the onlyjpracticable mode of
election by suggesting four names which they
thought would be acceptable to all others.—
The Augusta convention substituted two
mw names, and thft Atlanta Convention de
clined wholly to appoint, leaving the matter
'a a caucus of District Delegates to meet at
Macon on the 3d instant—a meeting that will
never take place, as one half of them will
never hear of it. Since the Fourth District
proposition has been declined by tho Con
ventions, the only practicable way now left,
it to take the votes of the various Convcn
tioas for delegatcs-at-large, and let tho four
persona having the highest number of Con
ventions to recommend them, be considered
tie delegates elect. There can be no rea
sonable objection to this mode of appoint-
—eat, and we hope the delegates themselves
rill be satisfied.
Joax Mitchel.—Some time ago, during
tie delivery of a speech by nead Centre Ste-
piona, in Philadelphia, that worthy referred
to the Parisian Head Centre of tho order,
John Mitchel. Some one in the crowd want-
«d to know what had become of the fifty
thousand dollars sent to Mitchel. Stephens
r: plied, “Don’t mention his name,” that he
^Mitchel) “dsired to be forgotten.” Wbcrc-
npon Mitchel writes from his domicil in Paris
in effect—“I do not desire to be forgotten.—
®®t, instead of my receiving fifty thousand
lollara, I received over seventy-five thousand
'j’larsin gold—all remitted by the Fenian
Motherhood in New York.” Mitchel de-
cl «ts that the whole of this sum was safely
bwsmitted to Stephens while he wa3 still in
I’v'ind or hpndcd to him personally in Park
wi for the whole ofwnich he (Mitchel) holds
•’Ktipts.
Sow, let the question be repeated, only
a change of name. What has Mr. Ste
phens done with this $75,000.
The Pim.ADEX.pmA Convention.—The
Mnton Post says; The origin of tho Phila
delphia Convention is charged upon Presi
dent Johnson. It matters not with whom it
Paginated.. From the signs and indications,
turn out to be the greatest popular
Movement of the times, and promises to re-
* B h in an organization and measures that
^‘1 speedily tend to the downfall and oblit

toration of the Government and of the
b'aion.
If the proposition originated with the Prcs-
'dent, so much the better. It only shows his

A PITIABLE SIGHT.
Tins report ot the House Judiciary Coni-;
mittee upon the charge alleged against Mr.
Davis of participation in the death of Mr.
Lincoln, has been published in full. It is the
last desperate surly growl of a pack tliathave
failed to tree their intended victim. The sum
of it is that they have been unable to find
any evidence that would convict Mr. Davis
as a party to the assassination, but as the doc
uments arc very luminous, a farther investiga
tion may, not will, throve additional light on
the tubed. Was malice ever more contemnt-
blcl l
It there is one creature or God’s green
earth that is immeasurably despicable, whose
soul is thoroughly brutalized, and who has
lost all claim to the recognition due a Chris
tian and a gentleman, it is he who
would bear false witness against his
neighbor, and knowingly punish the in.
noccnt. Such a man dishonors the
image of his Maker and deserves to be reject
ed and despised by all civilized mankind
He rob would you when asleep, stab you in
the dark, and commit any other atrocity of
which devils incarnate arc capable.
There is not a man on that committee who
believes in his heart that Jefferson Davis had
the slightest connection with, or knowledge
of, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.—
There is not a decent citizen in all tbe North
who has so outraged his own intelligence and
insulted his moral nature as to have enter
tained the opinion that Jefferson Davis could
be capable of such a transaction. And yet,
to impress a falsehood on the mind of the
world, and to cast odium on a fallen cause,
he was advertised as an assassin, a large re
ward offered for his apprehension, and eight
or ten men. of the popular branch of Con
gress have been engaged for seven long months
in most persevering exertions to make
the proofs come up to the averment After
the first unjust step, it was a reasonable anx
iety. Should the proofs fail, his accusers
must stand before the world in the light of
self-convicted perseentors and slanderers.—
And such they are to-day. Such will history
regard them when it comes to make up its
verdict upon this national transaction. Sir.
Davis will stand acquitted and his noble char
acter fully vindicated, whilst those who would
destroy his body and blacken his name, will
stand forth before the world as false-hearted
and condemned victims of their own maligni
ty. Thank God, that there is such a thing os
justice still left in the world, to protect the
innocent and punish the guilty!
FOR ALL TO READ.
A letter to the editors, from Hon. John G.
Shorter, of Eufaula, dated July 29tb, I860,
says;
“I noticed with pleasure your introduc
tion, in tlie Telegraph, of Dr. Samson’s an
ticipated trip. * * * He is worthy of all
our love. His lectures will be entertaining
in the highest degree; and, then, his labors
are so benevolent and christlikc!” and he
goes on to hope that the Doctor’s .visit to
Macon will be made profitable to the citizens
of Macon, and “to suffering humanity in their
midst.”
We feel certain that such will be the case,
if the people will but give Dr. Samson a
fair hearing, and so crowd his audience-
chamber, that ample funds will be secured
for the benefit of the Macon Orphan School.
If our city readers have perused the elo
quent sentences of 3Ir. James Gardner, pub
lished in yesterday’s Telegraph, concerning
the duty Georgia owes to the surviving or
phans ot deceased Confederate soldiers, oor-
tainly their generous and patriotic, hearts
must pulsate warmly in behalf of that pitia
ble class—indigent orphans! And, surely,
they must feel that now, when such a favora
ble opportunity is given them to manifest
their feelings of humanity, they should not
grudge the paltry sum demanded for admis
sion into these lectures, nor hesitate about a
general, a universal attendance. We would
be rejoiced to see such throngs in attendance,
as will guarantee to many poor orphans the
certainty of month* of tehooling, and perhaps
warm shoes and clothes during the coming
winter.
FACTS ABOUT THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
We annex some interesting particulars con
cerning the Atlantic Cable, just laid and now
in successful operation, for which we are in
debted to the Charleston Courier:
The present cable differs from the old one
in one or two particulars. The conductor in
this is composed of seven copper wires—six
around one—each wire seperatedand embed
ded in a chemical compound, and the whole
surrounded by layers of gutta percha,so as to
form a core half an inch thick; this, again, is
still furtner protected by ten iron wires,•each
covered with five strands of Manilla yam—
the wires being laid spirally around the core.
The Company have established a tariff of
charges—forty words from London to New
York costing about $300; and the cost to the
daily press of the country—forty words per
day—will be about $1,700 per wsek. The
Associated Press Committee have arrainged
for two daily reports, of not less than twenty
words each, and as many more as the impor
tance of the news may justify.
The differences of time between London
and New York is about five hours in favor of
the latter, and will allow a large margin for
the reception of news for the morning and
evening journals. Tbe reports .will be pre
pared respectively in London and Liverpool
at 3 A. M. and 3 P. M. A*s 3 A. 31. London
time is equal to 10 P. 31. New York time,
the dispatches of that hour will arrive in time
for the morning publications in New York of
that day’s business in Liverpool, and the
English 3 P. 31. being 10 A. 31. this side, the
telegrams will be in time tor the afternoon
papers. ___
Gen. 3Iartin Luther Smith, says the At
lanta Intelligencer, of yesterday, died sud
denly on Sunday morning in Rome. Ga. He
was attacked the day previous with inflam
mation of the bowels, and the disease raged
so violently that liis system, somewhat ener
vated by intense heat and fatigue, was inca
pable of bearing the shock. His remains pass
ed through this city, yesterday, in charge of
Dr. Wm. Hoyt, of Rome, to be delivered to
his relatives and friends at Athens for inter
ment.
General Smith was a graduate of West
Point, and served in the Mexican war. He
was recognized as a man of distinguished
ability. During the late war, he was at the
head of the Engineer Corps of the Confede
rate States army, and, among other promi
nent performances, during that eventful pe
riod, he planned and constructed the defenses
of Vicksburg. At the time of his death Gen.
Smith was Chief Engineer of the system of
railroads which is to connect Selma,
Ala. and Dalton, Ga., of which Gen. John
ston' is President, and which are now being
const rooted. Gen. Smith, we believe, was
connected with the Nisbet and Hull families
in this State.
For the Daily Tele»ranJ».
• '‘All Lost!” 1
_ E.vtonton, July 80,1866.
We read in the Macon Daily Telegraph,
few days ago, a short criticism upon a decla
ration make by Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, that, so
far as the South is concerned, kali is lost,"
and approved entirely of the spirit of the Tel
egraph—approved of it as absolutely as we
disapprove of3Ir. Lamar’s “disconsolateness,”
as it is expressed by the Telegraph.
We have long felt a disposition to rebuke
the confession ot our leading men, ouy press,
and our people that State rights arc gone,
and that “all is lost P* It is unmanly to make
such a confession. All is not lost, if we will
be but men. The idea that we submitted all
to the arbitrament of the sword, and when
the voice of the sword went against us, we
lost all, is a false one. So far as ire are con
cerned, we never did submit our cause to the
decision of the sword, nor will we ever do so,
A majority of our people have never done so,
and never will do so. A few liot-spurs rushed
us into revolution. They had been endeavor
ing to do so ever since the days of Nullifica
tion, in 1832; continued their efforts in 1831;
resumed them during the Kansas troubles;
and perfected their plans in 18G0-C1.
In the meantime, wc who opposed them, de
pended upon the Constitution, the Union,
the flag—reason and right—for our
just dues. We depend upon them stilL—
It is true that when the war was once ih-
augurated, we determined to support the
war. We could not avoid it. We were for
the South, right or wrong. But we told our
rash brethren that they had submitted our
rights to an improper test, and that we would
come out the losers. We told them so dur
ing the war—we had told them so before se
cession, and tbe inauguration of hostilities.
But we who depended upon fighting for our
rights in the Union, and under the flag, de
termined, and are determined still, never to
yield our rights, because opposed by superior
physical power. Neither numbers nor the
sword are the things upon which we depend.
We appeal to God and the right, and shall
still contend for republican government, and
the sovereignty of the States, in the Union.
“Upon thi3 line,” we will “fight it out
to the bitter end.” Figuratively speak
ing, we will not stop this side of the “last
ditch.” We will neither suffer our cause
crushed out by the fanatical physical power
of Sumner & Stevens, nor allow it to become
pariyzed by the gloomy despair of Lamar &
Co. Beaten by the sword, we fall back upon
our original, long tried, and faithful arms—
reason and argument; arms which have won
thousand battles, and that have never
failed us upon the field. It was folly—it
was madness, for us to abandon them for oth
er ams. Pushed back, as we are, we fall back
upon onr citadel of the Constitution. We
take refuge within that stronghold, whose
walls never knew a breach until wc abandon
ed it to the enemy.
Not only must we repair the breach made
by the foe, but now that they have abandon
ed the fortress, we must occupy it again, and
within its sacred walls, we can never more
fall. Not only must we have tho fort, but
we must have the flag which has been borne
away by the retiring foeman. We must have
the stars and stripes to plant upon our cita
del. As Peter the Hermit fired the hearts of
the faithful to fight and wrest the holy sepul
chre from the hands of the infidels, so must
wo writers of the South, and the orators of
the sunny land, stir the Southern heart to
contend for a union based upon the Constitu
tion. We must WrCSt tile government from
the hands of the abolition infidels. We must
not be put to sleep, and fold our hands to a
little more slumber, under the narcotizing in
fluence of Mr. Lamar’s desponding oratoiy.
And not only must we of the South rush
to the deliverance of the holy sepulchre,
where the Constitution has been buried
by unholy hands, but we must join our
columns in solid mass with those of the gal
lant Northmen who have the same object in
view. A large majority of the American peo
ple are opposed to the Radicals. We must
have a gathering of the clans. The bugle
now sounds the rallying cry, and we must
give back the swelling echo, “On to Phila
delphia !” If we failed to take it before, let
us take it now. While wc assail it on the
Southside, a mighty host of our friends is
marching upon the city from the North.—
Philadelphia will be ours. The battle to be
fought there is the first, and most important
of the war. When wc win the victory there,
wo have but to strike the blow, and other
victories will surely follow, until Washington
too shall fall into our hands—not the hands
of tlie Southern people alone—but also into
tbe hands of onr Northern allies who fight
for the Union and the Constitution. It is
they, in fact, who are gallantly leading the
van, while we, the Southern people, press up
the rear in spite of the croakings of “discon
solate” orators. To them belong the honor
of never having yielded State rights, in spite
of the sword, prisons, and dungeons—be it
said to tho shame of those Southern men who
have so easily abandoned their own doctrines.
Our Northern friends are leading us in tbe
fight, and we will follow them. Victory
shall be ours; Washington shall be ours;
the Union and the Constitution shall be ours;
and we will plant the stars and stripes with
our own hands in the federal city, over tlie
trailing colors of treason draggeilin the dust
by Sumner and Stevens.

Cholera on Ttbek.—It would be well for
the Agent of the Associated Press at Savan
nah, and the newspapers of that city to make
some efforts at agreement on the state of the
Cholera at Tybee. Our despatch of the 31st
reports 95 deaths in all, up to Sunday, whilst

of 14G who have died, exclusive of those who

of what sort of men aro considered worthy

would state that P. T. Barnum, tho show

Popular Movement Against Tyran
ny in Tennessee.
Tho annexed article from the Memphis Ap
peal will attract attention. It will be seen
that the people of that State contemplate a
movement in which they will assert their sov
ereignty and throw efi' the tyranny that has
been imposed on them by a contemptible and
self-seeking minority. The case would jus
tify armed resistance, but we aro glad to soe
that enfranchisement can be accomplished in
a peaceable and legal way. The Appeal
says:
We believe tho great mass of the people of
this State desire some important changes in
the Constitution ot their State—changes that
can be effected in no other way than by a
Convention of our best and wisest men—who
shall be s lectcd in such way as to make it
unquestionable that they have been selected
by the great mass of the people to devise a
Constitution. Wo are confident that the time
is at hand for such an assertion of the politi
cal power and rights of tho people, and that
they would be fully supported in it by the
wise, brave statesman, happily President of
the United States at this moment. Therecan
be no doubt of this at all. Mr. Johnson can
not possibly be content that the people whoso
rights he ever advocated, and who so often
gave him their support, and always their suf
frage, shall be kept in political vassalage to
an insignificant minority, itself so much pot
ters’ clay or putty in the hands of that politi
co-maniac, Brownlow, and tho petty junta of
reckless, cross-roads politicians whom ho
leads by the nose.
Therefore, there should be uo hesitancy in
this movement. The rights of tho paople de
mand it; and wc arc sure that tho President
desires us to inaugurate it Of course, a meas
ure so important aud organic in its objects
should be characterized at' every stage by
moderation, by the calm assertion and resort
to only patent rights, by great circumspection
in the choice of representatives, so as to se
cure the best and ripest and broadest intel
lects in the State; and above all, that the
movement, we repeat it, should be so con
ducted as to insure acknowledgment of tho
representative character of tho Delegates, and
of their full authority to act for the people.
Texas State Convention.
Favasota, Texas, July 2G.—The Conserva
tive Union Convention organized to-day by
the olection of Hon. Ashbel Smith, of Hous
ton, as President. All portions of the State
were represented and great unanimity pre
vailed. The delegates appointed to the Na
tional Convention at Philadelphia represent
tho original secession and anti-secession par
ties. The delegates from the State at largo
are David G. Burnett, John Hancock, W. B.
Ochiltree and Lemuel D. Vans. The district
delegates are S. P. Dowell, Geo. W. Smith,
George F. Moore, A. H. Willie, Richard
Cook. D. B. Culbertson, James M. Burroughs
and W. H. Shellers. Among tho delegates
arc the five Supreme Judges elected at tho
late election.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That this Convention accept the
principles and objects set forth in the call for
a National Union Convention at Philadelphia,
on the 14th day of August next, and that the
delegates to that Convention are appointed
on the basis of that call.
Resolved, That a plot and conspiracy is on
foot, and being carried on by the Radicals of
Texas, to falsify and defame the peoplo of the
Southern States, to represent us as hostile to
the Constitution and Government of tho
United States, as vindictive and violent to
wards citizens adherent to the Federal Union
during the war, and as unjust and oppressive
towards the freed people in our midst; that
these charges severally and collectively arc
false and malicious, made solely for political
objects to inflame and embitter the North
agninst Texas, to prevent the restoration ot
the regular government, harmony and good
order, to obtain political rule and power in
defiance of the choice and will of the great
mass of the people of the State; that wc in
voke tho people of the North, of every party,
in a spirit o fcandor and justice,to give no cre
dence or confidence to falsehoods only calcu
lated to mislead them, to wrong us, and to
promote, deepen and prolong sectional ill-
feeling, the iniquitous attempts of unjust po
litical power.
Resolved, That the gratitude of the peo
ple of Texas is due and hereby tendered to
President Johnson for the spirit of wisdom
and magnanimity in which he has endeavored
to restore tho Federal Union.
THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU IN TEXAS.
New York, July 29.—Tlie Herald’s cor
respondent, traveling with tho Steadman
Commission for investigating the working of
the Freedmen’s BHreau, writes from Texas,
saying that the Bureau in that State is a mis
chievous farce. The stations aro so wide
apart that one-half the colored peoplo could
not reach one if they were inclined to. The
negroes are working well consequently, and
receiving high wages. As usual, the officers
of the institution are engaged in solving the
problem of free labor by running plantations
on their own account.
Alexander H. Stephens—He Indorses tlie
Philadelphia Convention.
New York, July 30.—Alexander H. Ste
phens lias written a letter to Montgomery
Blair, indorsing the call for the Philadelphia
Convention, and announcing liis intention to
attend it. He says: “Individually, my
whole soul is enlisted in the cause of a speedy
and full restoration of the Government under
the Constitution ns it now stands^ He also
says he did in 1860 all iii his power to avert
a conflict of arms, and that, too, while many
of those now so clamorous for what they call
the Union c’ause-were giving encouragement
at least, to tbe extremists at tho South, by
clearly and decidedly intimating, if not fully
expressing, a perfect willingness on their part
that the Union might slide if the people of
the South so willed it. He concludes by
saying that if the Union shall be restored un
der the Constitution, it is his fixed purpose
to retire from all public affairs, so that,
though it may appear he is governed by per
sonal interests in working for restoration, in
asmuch as he has been chosen United States
Senator, still he will not hold that position
long.
Some idea of an English Duke’s es
tate may be had when westato that the estab
lishment of the Duke of Devonshire would
occupy one of our large counties. The park
immediately surrounding the palace contains
three thousand acres. The principal garden
for vegetables, fruits, green-houses, etc., is
twenty-live acres. There are thirty green
houses, each from fifty to seveuty-fi.-e feet
long. Three, or four of these contain nothing
but melons and cucumbers. One peach tree
on the glass wall measures fifty-one feet in
width, fifteen feet in height, and bears one
thousand and sixty poaches. It is the largest
in the world. The grape houses, five or six
in all, arc seven hundred feet long. But
what shall be said of the conservatory, fill
ed with every variety of tropical plants ? It
is one of the wonders of the world. It cov
ers an acre of ground, is one hundred feet
high, and cost $500,000. It is heated by
steam and hot water pipes, which in all are
six miles in length.
Rain—Crofs.—Recently we have been
blessed with several showers of raio, which
have greatly improved the atmo.-phere and
given now hope to the farmers. The corn in
this section was generally planted late, and
for that reason was not so much injured by
the drought but that tlie late rains will help
it. With good seasons until the latter part
ot August, lair crops will
