m ' gfefaSi 0! t \jt perft. SOUTHERN SKXTIJIE.M ASD rHE.VO- MEN A. John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina, writes a letter to a friend on political affairs, which has been published. He speaks of his efforts to arrest bloodshed before the war, and quotes a speech made by him in the House of Re presentatives, January 26, 1861; says _ Mr. Lincoln offered him a seat in his Cabinet, and listened with interest to his plans for peace. Quoting the act preliminary to seces sion, passed by the Legislature of North Carolina, May 11, 1861, he continues: “ Death was enacted for all the advocates of the Union in North Carolina after that date. The people of all the counties in the State elected their delegates to the conven tion, by whose unanimous vote the State was declared out of the Union, but this not until all her surrounding States had gone. _ “All this having occurred, I conceived it a duly to yield to and obey the laws of my own Legislature. But not simply for this, or the idea that I should be for my country, right or wrong; nor to avoid the criticism, if the South was conquered, that it would have been otherwise if I had done my duty; nor for the purpose of escaping trial and death, but because I did verily believe that if the Southern States—although they had been led to act so rashly and so unwisely—were conquered, ruin to them would be the result. “Under the hope that something would turn up by which I might in my position be able to aid in securing a peace, I became a candidate and accepted my election to the last Confederate Congress. My colleagues will attest to the exertions which I made, whilst for a brief period in this Congress at Richmond, to prevail on the President to consent to the sending of commissioners to try the efficacy of negotiation. The journal shows the proposition which I thought ought to be made to the Government of the United States to begin, at least, the subject of nego tiation for peace. * * . * “This brings me to the point in which you desire more particularly to hear me. I am for peace and order—l am for the Federal Government and for the State_ Government, and am lor getting the same into operation as speedily as the same can be safely and pru dently done, and on the terms proposed. We are powerless. We are in a state-of submis sion. I have yielded (and in a manner satis factory to my slaves and to the Government, I trust) to the emancipation required. True, I should have preferred other terms. But to talk of these now is useless and out of place, and in my opinion it is unwise to think of or suggest any further resistance —I am opposed to all further rebellion. Let us ■strive, by willing and ready submission, to secure amnesty and a modification of the con fiscation and other laws. * * * Give proper care and attention to moral and reli gious oulture —give no ear to useless disputa tions —give every man his own and do hurt to no one, ana I feel confident that in a few .years we shall have a State improved, rather ■than ruined or injured. lam a friend to the State Government and to the Federal Gov ernment, and shall sustain President Johnson in his efforts to bringpeace and order out of confusion and war. His efforts in the last Congress in which we served together, and more especially his speech of the sth and 6th of February, A. D. 1861, of which I distri buted many thousands, show that he loved his country and his whole country. “Yours truly, “ John A. Gilmer.” Fayetteville, N. C., after enjoyingtempo rary exemption from military occupation, was garrisoned again early in August by a regi ment of “U. S. C. T.” Disloyal utterances by a Fayetteville journal was the cause. Whereupon the Wilmington, N. C., Herald •says : “We refer thus at length to these cases — and these are merely samples of many that might be cited—not to dictate, censure, praise, blame or excuse, but simply to spread the lesson they teach before the people. It is folly to kick against the pricks. Every act of resistance ; every indication of hostility; every manifestation of a want of respect for the authority of the United States Govern ment, will surely react against the actor. It has cost the United States three thousand millions of dollars and a quarter of a million of valuable lives to reclaim these Southern States from the possession of its enemies. This immense cost has enhanced the value of the prize. No power on earth can now com pel a separation of these States. The Gen eral Government will hold the reclaimed States at any and every sacrifice. This is an established fact beyond all dispute.” The Richmond Republic, Aug. 14, says: 11 The applications of many citizens of Rich mond have been approved by the Attorney- General, but the instances in which the par dons have been actually signed and delivered are rare. We know of but three well-authen ticated cases. There are some noisy politi cians who go about bragging that they have their pardons 1 in their pockets, ’ but implicit credence is not given to their statements. ’ ’ Provisional Governor Marvin reached Jacksonville, Florida, August 2, and issued his proclamation the next day. In this he says:—“By the operations and results of the war, slavery hasceased to exist in this State. It cannot be revived, Every voter for dele gates to the convention, in taking the am nesty oath, takes a solemn oath to support the freedom of the former slave. The free dom intended is the full, ample, and complete freedom of a citizen of the United States. This does not necessarily include the privi lege of voting. But it does include the idea of full constitutional guarantees of future possession and quiet enjoyment. The ques tion of his voting is an open question—a pro per subject for discussion —and is to be de cided as_ a question of sound policy by the convention to be called.” He does not name a day for the convention. In a speech to the people, he said: —“We are about to enter on a new career. Between the two races a good understanding must be created and continued. Some persons, dis appointed and vexed, will not have any faith in the colored man. They do not think of him with pleasure, now that he has become free. They have no anxiety to see him so cially and.morally elevated because they have not faith in his capabilities. Let me say in all plainness to such, try him. Give him a fair chance. Teach and encourage him. Your happiness and prosperity are now in separably connected with the welfare of this people. Their elevation will add to the power and prosperity of the State.- They cannot remain tn a stationary condition. Their movement must be upwards, or they will become in many cases, the veriest vaga bonds, and rest like an incubus upon tiie country. In many respects the white man is superior to the colored man, and his respon sibility is correspondingly increased. We want the colored people here. In their muscles and sinews the State has immense wealth; but that they may be made available we must treat them kindly, give them an education, and make them an honorable part of the body politic.” According to a newspaper correspondent, Senator Yulee advises that the elective fran chise be given to such negroes as can read, or have taxable property, or have seen service in the army. Other prominent Floridians take the same view. A dispatch from Mobile, July 24, to the Selma Daily Times, says:—“The civil offi cers here are rapidly qualifying themselves under Governor Parsons’ proclamation. By to-morrow the civil officers will be qualified, and military rule will conditionally cease.” The Mississippi Provisional Convention is in session. Business is only in course of pre paration by committees. A memorial was adopted to be presented to the President of the United States, praying him not to garri son the State with negro troops, which was referred to General Osterhaus, to be by him forwarded to the President. The Nashville Dispatch, is informed that the rebel General Roddy was arrested in Louisville a few days ago and taken to that city. He will be taken to Knoxville, its in formant states, in company with Dick McCann to stand his trial for murder.— —Twenty Vir ginians of the twenty thousand dollar class were pardoned August 17th. The property of Hover & Ludwig, who did the rebel go vernment engraving in Richmond, has been confiscated. They were very wealthy. Guerillas are not yet dispensed in Tennes see. Some Union soldiers who went out from Jackson, in that State, to hunt up Govern ment horses, were attacked by a great hand of these miscreants a few days ago, and driven back to Jackson with a loss of three killed. It is announced that the civil officers in South Garolina will not be permitted to re sume their functions until the State Conven tion restores the State Government.- Various public meetings have been recently held in the eastern part of Virginia, in which the people expressed strong loyal sentiments. It is reported that Governor Pierpont has decided to change his policy and act in direct opposition to the course of the Virginia secessionists. The President has permitted the rebel Congressman Burnett, of Kentucky, to go home, and has restored him his property, but without formally pardoning him. POLICY OF THE GOVEBIHENT. Policy op the Government towards theßebel States. —A Washington dispatch to the Associated Press, - August 15, say's :- “There is not now, nor is it believed that •there will be, any substantial or material dif ference between the President and his Cabi net with regard to the restoration of the Southern States. On reason for this opinion is the fact that all the proclamations appoint ing the Provisional Governors are precisely in the same words, founded on the Tennessee arrangement, and maturely considered by the President and approved by the Cabinet, showing a carefully considered plan, the Amnesty Proclamation being in accord with that document. The President, it is known, from the representation of his intimate friends, is determined to pursue substantially the reconstruction programme thus laid down, having reasonable eyidence from the South that it will be successful. Many of the ac counts from that section are exaggerated, and misrepresent the true and favorable condition of public opinion. As the result of careful inquiry, it is believed that there is an unwil lingness on thepart of a portion of the Cabi net to have Jefferson Davis tried for treason; while there is reason for asserting that the President is persistent in having him brought before a civil tribunal. Chief Justice Chase is expected to arrive here, in the course of a few days, for consultation with the President as to the time, the manner, and the place which shall be designated. The ablest coun sel in the United States are also being con sulted upon the subject. There is a fixed determination on the part of the Executive that there shall be an immediate and fair trial, by a jury of the country, for high trea son.” Per contra , take the following from the Washington correspondent of the Independ ent : “The Tennessee election greatly disap points the President. It could not fail to do so, for it is his own State, ‘ reconstructed’ after his own plans, and it has elected a delega tion to Congress, a majority of which, it is feared, are not loyal to the Government. Yet Tennessee was regarded as one - of the most trustworthy of the States which went madly into the rebellion. The President is a thoughtful man, and he perceives that his reconstruction plans, so far as Tennessee is concerned, have lamentably failed. This is generally admitted in what are called ‘ ad ministration circles,’ and it is supposed that the Tennessee delegation will not succeed in obtaining admittance to Congress. It is doubtful if the President desires them to be admitted. It is no longer to be concealed that a decided majority of the white inhabi tants of the South is either disloyal or un willing to acquiesce in the extinction _ of slavery. There is not one of the States which joined the ‘ Confederacy’ which can be trusted with self-government. The Presi dent and his immediate advisers will ac knowledge this fact. “The prospect for next winter’s Congres sional contest upon the subject of reconstruc tion or restoration is good. The history of the last three months has drawn together all classes of Bepublicans, and, so far as I can learn, both radicals and conservatives are asking, 1 What is necessary to save the na tion from disaster?’ There is no longer the thought of a bitter controversy between friends on this subject. The President is far less fixed in his ideas respecting the mode of restoration than he was three months ago, and, unless I am greatly mistaken he will not urge Congress, in his message, to admit dele gations from the Southern States indiscrimi nately.” The New York Times which has been dis posed to favor the President’s policy, sounds a very different note in its leader of August 18 th. It declares itself disappointed “in the hope that a great number, indeed, in many localities a large majority of the people in the rebellious States were really loyal, and only seeming traitors by the all-compelling power of military depotism. We had hoped that when the yoke of Jeff. Davis should be lifted from their necks, a very considerable majority would rejoice in their enfranchise ment, and gladly come back to the protection and defence of our great Union.” Without indicating any line of policy, it makes the following declaration: —“It is, perhaps, too soon to arraign the leaders and exponents of sentiment in the lately rebel States; but it is not too soon to say that every indication of their policy—as we have to some extent specified above—seems to be in the wrong direction; that it is the mani fest intention of the Southern leaders to fos ter and perpetuate the antagonism of old times; to embitter the gall so long fed and encouraged by Calhoun and his followers; to rebuild the wall of' sectional division, and again man the fortress of local prejudice. We have searched with great dilligence in every place likely to yield information —and we have the advantage of many private letters on the same topics—and we say with sincere regret, that our best judgment more than justifies the estimate herein made of the tone and temper of the Southern people—or at least of their representative men. ’ ’ The Pennsylvania State Union Convention, in session last week passed the following:— Resolved , That the mild and generous me thod of reconstruction offered by the Pre sident to the people lately in rebellion, in the judgment of this Convention, has not been accepted in a spirit of honest loyalty and gratitude, but with such evidences of defiance and hostility as to impel us to the conviction that they cannot be safely entrusted with the political rights which they rejected by their THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY. AUGUST 42. 1865. On the 2nd of August all telegraphic com munication through the cable ceased, leaving the operators at Valentia utterly in the dark. It was not for two weeks that information reached us on this side of the exact cause ol the failure. On the 16th word came that two days previously a schooner named First Fruit had arrived at Harbor Grace, N. F., reporting that on the 6th she fell in with the Great Eastern and her consort 1 errible ; two hours afterwards she saw a beacon buoy, with a flag marked “ Great Eastern , No. 5.” Finally, the Terrible drew near the schooner, and reported that the cable parted on ■ the 2d instant, and that the buoy was the mark where the cable was last seen. The captain of the First Fruit reports having asked the Terrible whether they considered the cable recoverable. The answer was: “Could not say.” . ■ On the 18th, the diary of Mr. C. W. Field, on board the Great Eastern, explaining the catastrophe and the efforts to recover the cable, was given to the press. We have space only for the concluding portion: Wednesday, Aug. 2.—At 5:27 A. M., on resuming the insulation test, it was discovered that there was a partial loss of insulation. The ship was soon afterward stopped and the cable transferred to the picking-up gear at the bows. The operation of hauling in com menced. By noon the engine used for pick ing-up stopped for want of water for a con siderable time. Two miles had been recovered and the cable was cut to see if the fault had come on board. About 12:30 P. M. the cable caught and chafed on the mo\yh of the “horse-pipe,” and was with considerable difficulty removed, and at 12:35 it parted on board where it was injured, just behind the stoppers, and in a moment the end disap peared in the water. Distance run in the last twenty-four hours, 116 miles. Cable paid out, 132 miles. Re covered two miles. Depth of water, 1950 fathoms. Total distance from Yalentia, 1063 miles. Total distance to Heart’s Content, 600 miles. Total cable paid out, 1312 miles, equal to 14 per cent. Steamed back toward Valentia twelve miles, and commenced dragging for the cable. Thursday, at 4A. M., it being evident from he strain that the grapnel had caught the able, we began to haul it; and at 11:50, when 1150 fathoms of grapneling rope had been got on board, a shackle broke near the ship, and 1400 fathoms of the rope sunk witti the cable to the bottom of the Atlantic. A buoy was lowered with 2400 fathoms of cable, and a “mushroom" to hold it and mark the spot. During the operation of picking-up, the machinery gave way. It_ is supposed that a tooth broke off by the-strain, and this getting in between the “spur” wheel, smashed -the latter. This accident happened twice, and the operation of hauling in had to be performed by the capstan. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weather unfavorable for recovering the cable. Monday, Aug. 7. —Lowered another grap nel. At 12:10 P. M. commenced 'dragging for the cable. At BP. M. began to haul in, and continued to do so slowly all night. Tuesday, Aug. S. —At 7:50 A. M. 1000 fathoms of grapnel rope had been hauled in, when the shackles broke just inside the ship. Lost in this attempt 1500 fathoms of rope. A second buoy was lowered to mark the spot. The balance of this day and all the next was fully occupied in having new shackles made for the hauling-in rope, altering the capstan, and making preparations for another attempt to recover the cable. Had the apparatus been ready, the weather on Wednesday was much too rough to attempt any operations. The two buoys rode out the gales in this depth perfectly. Thursday, Aug. 10. —At 7 o’clock A. M. we began to lower the grapnel, and at 8:55 had out 2460 fathoms —all that was on board the ships—and commenced dragging for the cable and continued to do so until the even ing, when we began to haul in slowly. ~ Friday, Aug. 11.—At 6A.M. we finished hauling in the 2460 fathoms of rope, when the grapnel came up foul with its own chain, At 11 A. M. we began to lower the grapnel again, and as soon as all the 2460 fathoms were paid out we commenced dragging until 3-55 P. M., when we began to haul in slowly. It was soon evident by the great strain that the grapnel had caught the cable. At 7P. M., when 710 fathoms had been recovered, the rope parted. As there was not sufficient rope on board the Great Eastern to resume grapneling, it was decided that she should return at once to England. Nearly $400,000,000 have paseed through the Internal Revenue Bureau since its organ ization, and so far it has not sustained the loss of a smgle dollar by misconduct of any of its officers. The internal revenue system yielded an average income of $1,375,000 a day to the National Treasury during four days of last week. The customs revenue of Hew York during the same time averaged over $340,000 a day. The receipts of cotton averaged 3700 bales a day. The sales of cotton at New Orleans for the week ending August 17th, foot up 12,000 bales, and the receipts 23,000. The stock on hand is 88,000 bales. The property coming under the Ketchum assignment of real estate, is estimated at $500,000. A New York paper says, it is generally thought the assets will yield about fifty cents on the dollar. The wealth of Mr. Ketchum, it is now asserted, has always been over-estimated, and probably two millions would coyer all before the forgery. The claims against him are likely to reach nearly five millions, if all of young Ketchum’s in debtedness is included. The certificates of indebtedness redeemed at the Treasury for the week ending Saturday amount to oyer nine millions of dollars, and during the same period four hundred and ten thousand six hundred dollars of mutilated currency has been destroyed at the redemp tion bureau. It is announced in England that there is no longer any prospect of the dividend or principal of the rebel loan being paid. The Paris correspondent of the London Star says the popular subscription of ten centimes for a gold medal for Mrs. Lincoln was still progressing. There were 25,000 subscribers, and a committee was appointed to raise the number to 100,000. Maximilian progresses but slowly in Latinis ing Mexico. His troops have lost San Luis, Potosi, which has been taken by the Liberals. Both sides are waging a most savage system of warfare, neither taking any prisoners. It was rumored in Paris at the latest dates that reinforcements to the extent of 6000 troops were on the point of being sent to Mexico—3ooo from France, and 3000 from Algeria. The Peabody Charity in London.—Mr. Peabody’s magnificent donation of $750,000 for charitable purposes in London, has been used by the trustees to build a block of model lodging-houses—sets of apartments in which treason, until they have proven their accept ance of the results of the war, and incorpo rated them in constitutional provisions secur ing to all men within their borders their in alienable rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. THE ATLANTIC CABLE BROKEN: FINANCIAL. FOREIGN. are rented at two, three, and five shillings sterling a week. The London press com plain that the trustees have not carried out Mr. Peabody’s desgn. The “Poor of Lon don,” it is alleged, cannot afford even to pay two shillings sterling a week, which is at the rate of twenty-six dollars a year. The hard working needle-women are excluded even at that low rental. It would leave them actu ally nothing to eat. ITEMS.

The Southern mail service is to be restored at prices which will it is thought prevent it from becoming a burden to the Department, as it formerly was. Ephraim Baynard, of Edisto Island, died recently, worth several millions. He bequeathed to Charleston College $166,000 in city 6 per cents. There is expectation of want and suffering in the South this winter. The Kentucky Senate will stand, 21 Conservatives, and 17 Union. The deficit on this year’s crop of wheat compared~with last, is stated by Commissioner Newton to be 26,241,698 bushels. The rebel Gen. For rest, of Fort Pillow massacre infamy, who is now at Memphis, cannot in safety visit his home on the Mississippi without the protection of Union soldiers, those of his old neighbors and friends whom he deluded into the rebellion being now his worst enemies.
