TUG OLD CABLE.
INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF ITS
RECOVERY.
The following additional details as to the
manner in which the old cable was raised was

jar Wo would remind the planters that
Mr. Jonathan Collins will occupy, after the
1st day of October next, tbo large, safe and
well-arranged warehouse lately occupied by
J. H. Woolfolk, and will be ready to attend
to the warehouse and commission business
ior those who may favor him with their pat
ronage.
An Example for tiie Whole South.—
The committee of the Texas'House of Rep
resentatives, to which was referred the con
stitutional amendment passed by Congress
and forwarded by the Secretary of State, has
refused to entertain the question, and asked
to be- excused from its further considera
tion.
Rid op Him at Last.—We are pleased to
learn from the Star that our Griffin friends
have at last been released from the authority
of that miserable creature Swayze, who has
done so much harm as agent of the Freed
men's Bureau. He has resigned—forced to
do so, no doubt—and the Star says Judge
Boynton, of the County Court, will probably
succeed to the office.
McGown & Ware, of South Union,
Logan county, Kentucky, about fifty miles
north of Nashville, Tenn., furnish garden
seeds of all kinds to those that may send
them their orders. Situated as they arc in a
portion of the country more southern than
many points from which seeds are often ob
tained, it is to be presumed they will suit
our section best. The gentlemen can be re
lied upon in every particular. Sec their ad
vertisement.
Another Falsehood Nailed.—The Bos
ton Post says Senator Doolittle was most cor
dially received at Racine, Wis. The report
that he was booted, pelted with eggs and
compelled “to go home across lots,” was one
of those Radical flights of fancy common to
the New York Tribune. Mr. Doolittle spoke
for three hours, was attentively listened to
and received the warmest congratulations at
the close. The people of Wisconsin arc not
yet under the Brownlow influence.
THE NATIONAL EXPRESS.
The public generally will very much regret
to hear that an assignment has been made of
the assets of this Company into the hands Of
trustees for the benefit of its creditors. It
bos fallen a victim to an unjust war which
the people should have marked with their
ondemnation. .
By the stipulations of the deed of trust the
Company is to remain in possession and use
of all the property assigned, except debts,
claims, and monies payable, until tbeTst day
of November, and even thereafter, unless a
demand shall be made by .creditors whose
debts are due that the trustees shall
take possession. As there will be
a meeting of the stockholders in
Richmond, on the Oth of October, proxi
mo, it is hoped and believed that some ar
rangement will be made to continue the ope
rations of the company, and on a sounder
footing than heretofore.
Jt -roay not be amiss to state that there is
no snpension yet of the business of the com
pany. Its agents everywhere continue to re
ceive and forward freights of every descrip
tion.
“A MEMBER”
Cannot be very anxious to attend divine
service if he permits such a small excuse as
rented pews to prevent him; for there is no
chonch in .this city where seats are not gladly
offered to those who have no pews. Never
is one turned from a pew, because it is rent
ed, in any house of worship in this city, and,
we venture to say, in the whole South. So
we fear that pride has something to do with
“ A Member’s” remaining at home. The evil
one is influencing you, dear friend. Cast him
out, and go and bear your pastor. You will
feel better for it, and will be certain to obtain
a seat each time yon attend, “without money
and without price.”
You are prejudiced against pew-renting.—
Recollect it is a necessity—as experience has
demonstrated. But in every church where
such a necessity exists there are some free
scats, or, at least, pews whose owners
would rejoice at seeing yon enter.
Are you too proud to sit in a free pew f—
We are sorry lor you. We exhort you to re
member that you are commanded “hot to for
sake the assembling of yourselves together;”
and if you love your Saviour, as we hope you
do, you will no longer permit such a pitiful
excuse to keep you from the house of God.
The Ocean Telegraph.—The wires across
Newfoundland are getting out of repair too
often. They have broken down at least half
a score of times within the past month. This
is not right. The Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany are now coining money at tho rate of
five million dollars in gold per annum. They
have thus sufficient income to keep the New
foundland line in repair, or to build half a
dozen other Newfoundland lines. They charge
us full price for cable news which lies over,
for twenty-four hours, at Trinity Bay, where
there is no newspaper published, where there
are not more than five persons able to read
and write, and where our special despatches,
at a gold dollar a letter, or eight thousand
dollars a column, wouldn’t procure for the
operator a codfish for his breakfast. These,
we presume, are accidents which cannot well
be avoided in the early working of the line.
But they are accidents of that peculiar kind
that show how important it is that the pub
lic here should not be dependent on one or two
ocean lines'controlled by a sir gle company.
We have noticed more than or ce that after
the Newfoundland wires hnd baen down for
twenty-four hours, very important news,
available for the press and tor the public,
came to hand all of a sudden. The same
news may not previously have been in the
hands or private operators in New York;
but there is a suspicion, either well or ill-
founded, in many quarters, that the private
despatches anticipated those published by at
least one full day. Be this as it may, the
Atlantic Telegraph Company is now drawing
an enormous revenue from the public, and it
must lie held accountable for haring its New
foundland overland wires in better working
order.—JV. F, Timet.
We may add to the complaints of the
Times, which arc very just, that the Southern
Prt-3 is charged tho same amount, weekly,
for the cable telegrams, whether they come
through r r not. We say, by nil means let ua
have another cable, or a half dozen, which
would be ! ettcr.—Eus. Tni„
fleeting marine galvanometer connected with
the shore-end at Valencia has been incessant
ly watched. Night and day for a whole year
as electrician has always been on duty watch
ing the tiny ray of light through which sig
aids are given, and twice every day the whole
length of the wire—1,200 miles—has been
tested for “conductivity” and insulation.—
The results of these tests were almost marvel
ous in their uniformity, and they showed
conclusively that up to that point of fracture
the cable was as perfect as on the day on
which it left the works—apart, of course,
from the improvement which always takes
place in a wire submerged in the cool and
uniform temperature of the ’ great ocean
depths. The object of observing the ray of
light was, of course, not any expectation
ot a message, but simply to keep
an accurate record of the condition
of the wire. Sometimes, indeed, wild
incoherent messages.from the deep did come,
but these were merely the result ot magnetic
storms and earth-currents which deflected the
galvanometer rapidly and spelt the most ex-
traordinaiy words, and sometimes even sen
tences of nonsense, upon the graduated scale
before tbe mirror. Suddenly, last Sunday
morning, at G:35, while tbe light was being
watched by Mr. May, he observed a peculiar
indication about the light, which showed at
once to his experienced eye that a message was
near at hand. In a few minutes afterwards
the unsteady flickering was changed to cohe
rency, if we may use such a term, and at once
the cable began to speak. The messages
which have already appeared in our columns
came with a distinctness and precision even
S eater than those of the cable laid this year.
o repetition of a word or letter was neces
sary, and a few sentences of warm congratu
lation were sent back, and as quickly re
sponded to from the Great Eastern by Mr.
Canning. Both the shore ends of last year’s
cable and mat laid this year being ii the little
shanty at Foilhommcrum, a message of the
g ood news was at once sent through to Heart's
ontent, and a reply wishing every good
fortune to the rest of the enterprise was sent
back to Foilhomiuerum and transmitted to
the Great Eastern in the center of the Atlan
tic within a quarter of an hour. So also with
the messages announcing to the Directors
in London that the cable had been raised.
These, though they can scarcely be said to
have left Ireland before 7 o'clock, were de
livered in the metropolis before 9, and re
turned messages went bock to the Great Eas
tern before mid-day. Now as to raising the
cable itself. If any of our readers can ima
gine what the difficulty would be of picking
up a little rope in Chcapsidc from the top of
St. Paul’s they will be able to form a faint no
tion of the difficulty of lifting the wire lost
last year in three miles' depth of water and
in the middle of the Atlantic. Apparently,
however, the ships, fitted with proper appa
ratus, found no more difficulty in grappling
the cable than one might experience in rais
ing night lines for eels. They all caught it,
and caught it when and where they wanted
The weather was very rough, but, neverthe
less, the Medway, which was the first on the
ground, succeeded in catching it, raising it
partly and bouying it In the night howev
er, while a heavy sea was running, the buoy
ropes gave way, and tbe cable went to the
bottom again. It must be remembered that,
from repeated soundings taken for the pur
poses of tho telegraph, no ocean bed is so
well known to us as the bottom of the At
lantic. Where the cable was grappled for it
is covered with a soil composed literally oi
minute shells of the diatamacete tribe, so
minute, in fact, as to be only visible un
der a microscope, and so fine in their organi
zation as to prove that not the slightest mo
tion can exist at those depths, for otherwise
their delicate formation would be destroyed.
On these the cable bas lain harmlessly as on a
bed of sand, and the grapnel, as we have said,
at once caught it.

AVANTS DAVIS AND LEE HANGED.
Pittsburg, Sept. 27.—The Convention
proceedings, yesterday, were (.musing.—
Songs, ridiculing the President ot the United
States, were highly applauded.
Resolutions were passed, hostile to the
President
Genera lButler delivered a characteristic
speech, and Gen. Willet denounced the Cleve
land Convention, as composed of army strag
glers.
A despatch was received from Fremont,
which elicited three cheers for him.
Butler wa9 the lion of the Convention,
Among the resolutions presented by Colo
nel Straight, was one asking Congress to di
rect tho President to remove from the late
Rebel States all arras and munitions of war
not needed for present use there. Adopted,
with one vote in the negative—the first and
only one of the character cast in the Con
vention, which created a sensation.
Resolutions were adopted, endorsing the
Constitutional Amendment, asserting that its
propositions are made In the mildest terms
ever granted to subdued rebels; that the
President has no right to a policy as against
tlio Legislative department of the Govern
ment ; and that his acts have converted con- A nolle prosequi has been entered in the
qnered rebels into impudent claimants to case against Roberts.
Gen. Davis, commanding that Department.
A despatch from Aspy Bay says, the New
Foundland lines, so badly damaged by tbe
Equinoxial gale, are nearly repaired, and the
cable news is momcntmily expected.
Gen. Sweeney announces that lie declines I
having anything to do with the Feuian pro
ceedings.
RicnJioxD, Sep. 27.—Judge Ould has been |
elected to the State Senate, over John Tyler, ;
Junior.
Washingtov, Sept. 27.—The National In
telligencer states on authority that Justice ;
Chase and Judge Underwood have concluded j
that because of the legislation of the last j
Congress, the adjourned Court cannot be held
at Richmond next month, consequently the
case of Mr. Davis cannot ho tried.
Recently a delegation of Southern citizens
sought to have modified the existing rules
and regulations under which cotton is trans
ported to market, the revenue tax paid, and
the final shipment of it made to domestic
ports. Secretary McCulloch has referred the
subject to the Attorney General for his opin
ion in the premises.
FENIAN MATTERS.
New York, Sept. 28.—The headquarters
of Stephens was all bustle and activity yes

ing, which, it is said, will astonish the
brotherhood.

For Se t Islands there was only a moderate demand
during the week, and the ini idleand lower grades close
rather lower.
Tho sales of the week, ending last evening, sum up
G4.CS0 bales, of which 40,720 were taken by tho trade, 21,-
C00 declared fur export, and 2310 on speculation. Tho
actual exports were 20,338 bales, which, added to the
40,720 taken by the trade, makes the total outgoings
rights which they have forfeited.
General Butler, in his remarks, said: “As
soon as these communities have 6hGwn a de
sire to be received back into the Union in on
humble (mark the word!)—in au humble
thankfulness for the clemency meted oat to
them ; when they acknowledge their mi«take;
then they should be received—but not till
then. Mr. Davis is by no means the worst
man in the Southern Confederacy, but he
chose to have the place of a representative
man. He played for an empire and staked
his life on the result; let him pay the forfeit,
[Applause], as an example for all time, that
no man shall plot treason in the halls of
the Congress of the United States.” [Ap
plause], - •
“General Lee left the army of tho United
States, went into Virginia, and was at the
head of the Rebel forces in Virginia before
his State seceded, and carried her out at the
point of the bayonet. Now, gentlemen, we
had an Arnold and he escaped punishment,
but he did not remain here. We have, it
seems to me, an equally guilty traitor; and
the question to be decided in this country is,
whether his surrender as a prisoner of war,
when he was captured, shall avail him against
the desertion of his flag, to take service in
the armies of the enemies of his country.—
[Cries of No! No!]
“I tberclore again say that I would m&ko
an example of this man, so that hereafter no
soldier should be found to desert the flag of
his country. [Cheers.]
And now, fellow-soldiers, what shall be
done with the soldier who deserts his flag and
takes with him the secrets of his comman
der ! [Cries of Hang him! Shooting is too
good for him,] Who deserts for tbe purpose
of taking command, or is bribed by a higher
command in the armies of the enemies of bis
country ?”

The Great Eastern and the Medway did not
arrive on the searching-ground till the 12th of
the month, and after preliminary arrange
ments bad been made for working in concert,
the Great Eastern, on the evening of tbe 15th,
caught and raised the cable more than 500
fathoms. In the act of buoying it, the bnoy
rope slipped, and it was again lost. On the
second day she caught it again, and this time
brought it to the surface. In the act ot bring
ing it over the bows the grapnel surged, and
the wire again plunged down to its resting
place, three miles beneath the ships.
Once more, within two days, it was raised
by the Great Eastern, while the Albany, to
the west, caught and broke it, and ail the
work had to be begun again. On tbe 26th
the Medway caught it and brought it up a
thousand fathoms, when, the sea being rough,
and the strain on the grapnel sudden and
violent from the pitching of the vessel, the
rope broke. On the evening of the same day,
the Albany caught it again and brought it to
the surface, and the Great Eastern, to “make
assurance doubly sure,” got two miles of it
on board and socureiy buoyed what was out
side the vessel. The work of making the
splice at once commenced, but not where the
wire was fastened to the buoy. The Great
Eastern, on the contrary, under-ran the wire
to a considerable distance to the east in order
to get rid of the tangle in which the different
bnoy and grapnel ropes must have involved
its western extremity. After this necessary
process some eighty miles of the wire were
abandoned. The Great Eastern has now
(Wednesday) about four more days’ steaming
to bring her safely into Heart's Content. Al
ready she has passed the deepest water on her
rente; in fact, the very deepest water she can
encounter was that from which she has raised
the cable of last year. All fear, therefore, os
to the safety of the line may be considered at
an end, and by Sunday next at latest the
shareholders will be in possession of two per
fect lines. How much they may l>o con
gratulated on this may be guessed from the
act that their present line, which is steadily
ncreasing in its returns, is already earning
money at tbe rate of £000,000 a year. If
there be any one individual to whom more
than another the chief credit of the enter
prise belongs, it is certainly Mr. Glass. On
him have mainly fallen the labor and the
loss, and to him is due the honor of success.
Important to Billiard Platers.—The
last number of the Billiard Cue contains an
announcement from Mr. Phelan, of an impor
tant change in the by-laws of the game of
billiards. Heretofore, when the cue-ball
was in contact with another, or “ froze,” the
player must strike another ball before the
one with which he was in contact, in order
to count. Mr. Phelan announces that after
the first ot January next, a player, if his ball
be “ frozen,” can count, provided be plays
away from the ball with which he is in con
tact, although on the return of the cne-ball
from the cushion or massee, It touches that
to which it was frozen first. The new rule
will be favorably received by all players.

ed—perhaps the price atwbichit was given in
on tbe tax books of 18G0 would answer—and
unless two-tbirds of this price, or more, shall
be bid for tbe property at the sale—the cred
itor having tbe privilege of taking it at that
price if be chooses—tbe sale shall be barred,
and the property be freed from that execu
tion, and all others in favor of tbe same cred
itor, for the space of say three years.
In Alabama they have a law allowing a
debtor the right of redemption to two years,
on all real estate sold under execution.
