THE GEORGIA WEEKLY TELEGRAPH
ihforjia <sH cthlu f ele^raf li
letter from p. w. a. ^telegraphic.
AVe invite attention to thecard of W.
L Ellis Broker, a new candidate for public
favor, and ask for him a share of your pat
ronage. '
To tits City Dailies.—Will the Journal
Jk Messenger, and Daily Citizen, have the
'kindness to copy Mrs. Hughes' communica
tion to the public 1
We ask this at her special request.
Notice of New York Hoosbs.—Under
this head will be found a summary sketch of
prominent business houses of New York, by
the business manager of the Telegraph, who
has just returned from a visit to the metrop
oDa.
Montpelier Institute—We invite atten
tion to the advertisement of the Rector of
this institution. We believe the advantages
of Montpelier are fairly stated, and as we
have had occasion to refer to the school
somewhat in detail, we would only add the
hope that its success may prove commensu
rate with its merits.
Curious.—The Associated Press agent
sticks to it that the cable reported a rise in
"‘rebel bonds” upon the action of the Phila
delphia Convention. What it means we can
not say. As we know United States Bonds
did rise upon receipt of the Convention news,
the foreign agent may have made a mistake
in the hurry of preparing his telegram. Then
again, that foreign agent may be a Radical
and intended the item to have an unfavorable
effect upon the President at the North. The
reader can judge for himself.
Patrick & Havens.—We dropped in tv
the News Depot of Patrick & Havens yester-
<l»y and noticed a lot of interesting French
Books—both reading and school—to which
■we would like to call the attention of French
scholars. We think they will be pleased
with the works, and hope they will give P.
& H. a call. There are, also, in their store
many interesting liooks of a miscellaneous
nature, writing paper, pens, the Fashion Mag
azines and any quantity of light literature.
Give them n call if you want something to
read.
SAVANNAH AND MEMPHIS RAILROAD.
A convention of delegates, representing
the various communities interested in this
important project, will assemble in this city
to-day. There is a prospect of a full attend
ance, and we hope such measures will he in
augurated by the Convention as will secure
the construction of the much-needed channel
of internal commerce. A circular on the sub
ject, which will be found of great interest, as
containing much valuable information, ispub-
lished elsewhere in this paper.
The Convention will hold its sessions in
the City Hall, and meet at ten o’clock this
forenoon.
Tiie Macon Orphan School.—In another
column will be lound a communication from
the Superintendent of the Macon Orphan
School to the Public. Its presentation of
facta requires no addition from us, except
<!»?«, that, all that is required to keep
in existence a school where forty or fifty lit
tle boys and girls have been accustomed to
receive good moral training, and the rudi
ments of a common English education, is to
have house-rent paid, and the living expenses
of•the instructress. The whole for the year
just ending, amounted to about $1,000, most
of which was raised by the “Christmas
Tree,” last winter.
The Superintendent has been compelled to
resign the house she now occupies, because
the rent hns been largely advanced, and
which she cannot hope to have paid for her,
jwt being able to do so herself. Her main
supporters have determined to withdraw
their aid in fhture ; but she, not wishing to
abandon a work to which she has dedicated
herself, throws the support of the school up
on the Public, trusting in Him who has hith
erto influenced the liberal-minded to sustain
bee. It remains to be seen if her trust in
God, and in Macon-philanthropby, is doomed
to disappointment. Wc sincerely hope not.
If private contributions sufficient to sus
tain this school, cannot be had, wc hope the
City Council will take the matter in hand,
and appropriate the amount required. It is
a matter of general utility, and the revenues
of the city cannot be more judiciously appro
priated. We urge the suggestion, feeling
well-assured that the tax-payers of Macon
will not begrudge the sum when paid out for
so laudable an object.
NOTICE OP SEW YORK HOUSES.
Whilst in New York wc called on the fol
lowing houses: H. T. Helmbold’s store, on
Broadway,where lie lias an elegant retail Drug
Store in front. Here everything usually kept
by druggists is to be found, of the best qual
ity and at fair prices. We had not the op
portunity to go through the portions of the
store devoted to the manufacture of Helm-
bold's famous preparations of Buchu, as wc
were pressed for time. This branch, which
is his main business, is conducted on a
grand scale, and has proven a great success,
much to his satisfaction.
Russ & Co.’s on Dry street, where the fa
mous Russ’ Bitters, Punches, Cocktails, «tc.,
are concocted. The elder Sir. Buss we found
present, a gentleman of affability and devo
ted to his business.
Sheldon, Hoyt & Co., on Chambers street,
Hardware Dealers, where yon will find David
H. Ross, raised in this city, ready to sell
you any quantity of goods in tlieir line. In
trading with this firm you are helping n
young man whom you know to be wor
thy.
Chichester & Co., also in the Hardware
business, on Beckman street, will be found a
Arm worthy of Southern patronage, the gen
tlemen connected with that house being well-
known in Augusta, Ga., and other points
South. Thcir’s is a nice store, and their stock
Complete in every way.
West, Bradley & Carey, the great manufac
turers of Hoop Skirts, on Chambers street,
•have a verv I arc i.stoblishment, where they
manufactur'd’ crytbing that goes into
the "Duplex Elliptic,” “Empress Trail,” and
Other lamous skirts. They card and spin the
cotton, and prepare the steel, Ac., for the
whole, in some one of their houses for tnonu-
tacturing. About twenty-five hundred girls
tire in their employ. Their business certain
ly increases, and 'they export largely. We
wonld advise those who arc interested in such
matters to visit this establishment.
From all of these gentlemen wc received
courtesies, for which wc thnnk them, and
• wish them prosperity, and that they may ever
treat their visitor* as they did us.

I avail myself of the opportunity to semi you
a hasty line, which will probably be the last |
for the present.
When the Philadelphia Convention urb-
bled, great uneasiness pervaded the public
mind of the North lest there would he anoth
er resort to the arbitrament of the sword, not
by the North and South, hut by and between
the Northern people themselves. It was be
lieved then, and is believed now, that the
peace of the country, the perpetuity of our
republican government, and the security of
the South against wholesale spoliation and
ruin, depend upon the defeat of the Radicals
at tho fall elections. If the tatter should be
successful, the conviction was general amon
intelligent men in the North, that an attempt
would be made to impeach the President
which would end in bloodshed—that the
South would bo denied representation in
Congress, that all who participated in the
war on the Confederate side or aided and
abetted it, would be ostracised and their es
tates divided out or confiscated, and that the
right to vote in the South would be limited
to the African race and such white men as
those who assembled at Philadelphia to-day,
and that the whole form and character of tho
government would bo entirely changed, and
a central despotism suhstitued in its place.—
Such, I repeat, was the general belief among
intelligent men in the North.
The Convention has accomplished two im
portant objects. The first was to dispel the
apprehension just alluded to. The roneorvo-
tive people oi the North feel that tbc Conven
tion was a wonderful success, in that it has
laid down a platform of principles upon
which they feel confident they will be able
eventually to defeat the Radicals, save the
Government from further commotions, and
restore the South to all her constitutional
rights. They are as sanguine now as they
were despondent when the Convention as
sembled.
■ I may add just here my own firm convic
tion, founded upon what I saw and heard
during my stay in the North, that every
Southern interest worth preserving; and every
Southern right worth enjoying,
depends upon the success of the
movement inaugurated at Philadelphia. If
the Radicals should succeed in the approach
ing elections and at the Presidential election
of 18G8, the South will, at no distant day, be
rendered an unfit place of abode for anything
but dogs of the lowest degree. I do not say
this, as you well know, on account of the lit
tle part I took in the Philadelphia Conven
tion, but because of what I saw and beard,
and about which I have not a particle of
doubt. Our only hope of escaping universal
wreck and ruin rests upon the success of our
friends in the North, who stand upon the
Philadelphia resolves and are now doing bat
tle with the Radicals.
The second great object accomplished by
the Convention was the practical organiza
tion of a grand Conservative party, embrac
ing all parts of the country, and with the
President at the head of it.* This party is
our friend, and is ready and willing to accord
us all our constitutional rights. Tlic Presi
dent now has a rock to stand upon. Ho has
a great and constantly increasing party at his
back. This party was begotten at Philadel
phia by the Convention. This party, with
the President, stands upon the platform of
principles there laid down. This party, with
the President, is doing battle for the consti
tutional rights of the South and of the whole
country.
What more could the South ask ? What
more is the South entitled to expect ? Shall
she refuse to recognize and approve of the
great work really performed by the Conven
tion, because it did not accomplish everything
she could have desired ? Arc any but simple
tons unwilling to have the sun shine upon
them, because there are a few spots upon his
burning face ? If wo shall be guilty of this
great folly, then posterity will hold that we
richly deservedtbe black doom which is sure
ly in store for such a people.
* Rather let us stand by the President and
the platform upon which lie has planted his
feet. Let us also hold ratification mee tings.
The action of these meetings will ndp and
encourage our friends at the North. They
especially desire that we will render them
this aid.* Let us, moreover, be exceedingly
careful in our treatment of the freed people.
The riot in New Orleans, and the later riot at
a camp meeting in Maryland, will do, and arc
doing, great harm m the North. Every
intemperate expression by a Southern
speaker or Southern newspaper, and
every act that can be construed into a wrong
to the negro, is turned against us by our ene
mies. I know this to be the truth. Can wo
not, then, possess our souls in patience, at
least for a season ? What should he thought
of the man who, by word or act, would em
barrass and confuse his friends, and aid and
encourage his enemies ?
If I write with much earnestness, you will
F ardon it when you are told that tlic longer
remained in the North, the more firmly con
vinced did I become of the truth of all that
is here stated. The laboring classes in the
North are becoming more and more hostile to
the negro. They say he must get out of the
way, and that they want to come down here
and cultivate our fields for us. I was also
assured by capitalists, that money enougli
would l>e sent among ns to rebuild our waste
places and develop our resources, just as soon
as our political troubles were settled. Here
is additional reason for prudence on our part
aid for earnest co-operation with our inends
beyond the Potomac. P. W. A.
To tlic Public.
MACON ORPHAN SCHOOL.
The exercises of this School will he re
sumed on Monday, the 10th of September;
will be kept at the same house until tho last
of the month. After the 1st of October next,
the two gentlemen who have contributed so
largely to the support of the School, will
withdraw their help. God put it in their
hearts to do a laudable part. For fifteen
months past, the Institution has been mainly
sustained by them, and v/ith regret the bene
ficiaries give up their kind benefactors, pray-
that “the liberal soul shall he made fat” At
this crisis, who will come forward, as an
agent from God, and dry the widow’s tear ?
I believe some hearts will be kindly moved
towards this object; in other words, that it
will be sustained, but at the same time, I do
not know where a dollar will come from for
this purpose. I have no house yet, nor can
not see how I am to get one, nor a support;
but “ my hope is in God.” That he will
raise up 'friends for us, I cannot doubt, judg
ing from the past.
Particular account will be taken of all con
tributions, whether in money, provisions, or
anything else, and if there is more given
than will be required for actual necessities,
it will enable me to take in homeless orphans.
If large sums should be appropriated, they
will eD&ble us to buy a building lot for the
School, if we do not succeed in getting one
lroin the city, free of rent.
The situation of the enterprise is before
you. It is with you to decide whcthci you
will assist or not. * It is not my plan to call
upon any one individually, for help.

St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 2.—The steamer
Terrible arrived here to-day. She left the
cable fleet on Wednesday, being short ot coal
and provisions, at that time. The Great
Eastern was starting for a spot one hundred
miles east of where the cable was laid last
year, all attempts to raise the cable in two
thousand fathoms depth having failed. The
following diary of events, prior to securing
the cable on Saturday, are interesting:
August 12th the Great Eastern joined the
Terrible and Taibourge, at the rendezvous,
The Albany had hooked the cable previous
to its coming up, and lost it with two miles
of grappling rope.

Aug. 16th, drifting; Aug. 17th, at 11
o’clock (ship's time) the cable came to the
surface at the bow of the Great Eastern; but
while all were congratulating themselves on
the great success, the cable slipped off the
grapples and disappeared. From this date
up to Wednesday evening, we were grappling
with various success. On occasion, the Alba
ny brought up two miles of cable. The
weather was very unfavorable at the time the
Terrible left.

New York, Sept. 3.—Henry Ward Beech
er’s letter, appproving the purposes of the
Soldier's Convention, at Cleveland, on Sep
tember 17th, as also the policy of the Presi
dent, elicits high praise from the conservative
journals. The New York Evening says of
Beecher’s letter: “It deserves to be written
in letters of gold. It ought to be read by
every man and woman in the country. It is
an appeal to tbc sober, common sense of the
American people, which we hope will bear
wholesome fruits, and will turn many from
the blind and passionate to the thoughtful
and reasonable consideration of the grandest
questions which has ever keen before the
American people.

A great crowd assembled at Detroit, where
Gen. Grunt received the party in person.—
The crowd was so overpowering that the

effectually carried out. The President’s
speech at Detroit, is one of the most remark
able delivered by him. A person
in the crowd insultingly alluded to
the salary paid the President, who
thus interrupted, addressed the intruder as
“one of the Radical hounds who had been
barking at him for eight months past,” and
taking up the allusion to his salary os his
text, he poured a broadside of invection and
ridicule into the Radical Congress, which he
called the “Congress which had doubled its
own pay, and given the maimed soldiers of
the war a meagre pittance of fifty dollars
bounty for their services.”
General Grant has rejoined the party.
Secretary Seward in his speech alluded to

THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
Report of General Gordon Granger—His
Opinion of the Disposition of the South.
To IIu Excellency Andreio Johneon, President
of tie United States :
Sir—In obedience to instructions, dated
May ft, I860, directing me, while carrying out
a specific mission, “ to examine carefully into
the disposition of the people of the Southern
States through which I might pass toward
tiie Government of the United States.” I have
the honor to report:
That in all the States I visited I found no
sign or symptom ot organized disloyalty to
the General Government. I found the people
taking our currency and glad to get it, anx
ious for Northern capital and Northern labor
to develope the resources of their wasted
country, and well disposed toward every
Northern man who came among them with
that object in view.
In some localities I beard rumors of secret
organizations pointing to a renewal ot the
rebellion. On investigating these secret so
cieties I could discover in them nothing more
than charitable institutions, having for their
principal object relief of the widows and or -
phans of Confederate soldiers who had fallen
in the war.
During the whole of my travels I found it
to he as safe and as convenient to mingle
with the people of the South, freely discuss
ing any and every topic that came up, as in
any other sect'nn ol the United States. I was
often among them unknown, and the tenor
of their aefs and conversation was then the
same as when my name and official position
were thoroughly understood.
The people of tho South may be divided
into two classes. There Is the industrious
