gt't Vrtss. FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1805. TO TEM MEN OF THE SOUTH. You, my countrymen, with whom for many years I have peacefully lived, with whom my interests are joined, with whom my tan& and chattels are lying, with whom I bare both prospered. and suffered, to whom my heart goes out, and for Whom my prayers go up, will not, I am sure, wholly refuse to listen to a few words of honest (and I hope you may think wise) advice from me. Let me here repeat what many of you have often heard from my lips, though under very different circumstances from these under. which I now write. Whatever are your interests are my own. All I have is among you. Your country was long since chosen for my country, and your home for my home. With voice and pen, both North and South, 1 long °AN : mated your interests and upheld your institutions—never for a moment wavering in your or their de fence, till you yourselves put it beyOrulmy WATT to defend them further. In fact, up to the date of the Charleston Convention, the labor was easy; for, though often attacked, they were never` endangered until you yout selves set aside the securities that preserved them, and made it impossible to preserve what the whole world shrank from protecting. Setting aside all other Questions, it is, indeed. marvellous that your wise men and great leaders did not see that the only possible security to your slave property was' your GREAT CONSTITUTIONAL incur, Under which the whole strength of the nation. Sorth and South, became your own strength in its de fence. No matter how much a section might Lath against you, it must still ad with you. But when this constitutional right was abandoned, and Us guar:micas thrown away, all guarantee:4 were gone; for you have never failed' Yo see, in common with all the world, 1.)1112 310 Minn, no Government, has a naturai right to enslave another, whatever—whether good or bad—he its effect upon the enslaved, or its profit to the enslaver; and with no natu ral right, with no constitutional right giving a moral, political, and physical strength be yond your own; with the world against it, and only tolerating it because of the great power beneath it, it is stninge that yon, so deeply interested, were not the first to see that, with that power removed from its suPPort — more, turned to attack it, exactly that must happen which bas—its total overthrow. Under suet, circumstances, no matter what might have been its moral slatus--hail it beat an institution full of purity and Christianity, as well as prod I —slay ery must have been swept away, as ii has been. But 1 do not recur to these errors of judg ment that seem to be gone by for the purpose of harrowing up the putt, but because they. are not gone bi/ ; for the tune train of YE:ll*cm ing that would have saved you life years ago, may now preserve you from further and greater evils. If slavery could not be preserved, do you think its fragments can be gathered and a new life given it 1 No, my countrymen. Our destiny is rpon us. - 1011 r old slaves are free men. Yon mutt grasp the great fact as it ex ists, in ali its huge dimensions. Accept your fortune uSTrovidence hath dealt it out to you, and manfully, yet willingly, set yourselves to meet its responsibilities, and give such direc tion to its new phases as shall secure the good that isleft us. And though the sufferings have been terrible, sad the tosses enormous, we may still hope and believe (for the ways of Cod, though inscruiable; are wise and merciful,) that by early, wise, and liberal ac tion—by at once seeing, Accepting, and acting upon our ,condition, a new system of labor may be inaugurated, and anew element of society reared, that shall leave the next gene ration, and perhaps our own, in better condi tion than the present has ever been. But this can only be done by your own prompt and liberal action. While the blacks were slaves they were docile, tractable, and safe. To-day they are at liberty, and easily moulded to either good or evil. If left to themselves, uneared for, or, if eared for in a way that shall prove oppre.ssive told unjust, there will be but one tendency among them, and that. to unmitigated evil, For a little, the military power may and will control them ; but soon that will be withdrawn, and ultimately it rests with Southern men alone whether the negro masses shall be surely and steadily, though perhaps slowly moulded into an intelligent, industrious, frugal element of society, with humble, but quiet and roace• able homes—laboring zealously for their own advancement and the profit of their employees or whether the enormities of St. Domingo shall be enacted all over our fair Southern land while its blood is Vowing and its dwellings Smoking from border to border. NO race of Men can remain long where the negroes now stand. They are freedmen, but not freemen. They are ignorant, prejudiced,wilful, and whol ly unprepared for the duties of freemen. They cannot rest where they are. They must either go up to that intelligence their new condition requires, or down to that of the savage, to which, if left alone, it is sure to hurry them. To the latter, they can go of themselves. To the former, they can only lie carried by the - prompt, friendly, and liberal action of their old masters, who, of all the world, are not, only The west interested in them, but care the most for them. Nor do they fail to see that the des tinies of the Southern white men and black men are still closely linked together. They are upon the same land, and will so re ntal% The black looks to the white for guid ance alit support, and he Wilt lupin the latter if not the former. He must look to him either with confidence or distrust. He Will regard him with either love or hatred; and eventn- . ally be will either assist bim from his present troubles, or plunge him into such as be has never yet endured. If you I:110 have been their - masters, and to whom they have always looked for support and cosmic], will now (seeing the necessities of your own interests as well as theirs) set to - the task of showing yourselves their best friends mid guardians, and begin the work of raising them into intelligent freemen 5 if you wiil give the motive for diligence and Sobriety by making them capable of enjoying their fruits ; if you will bola up to their hopes the ultimate boon and privilege of freemen— future enfranchisement and citizenship, as they and their children become educated and prepared for it—the great work wily be done , and both you aril they saved from horrors in contemplation of which so many are now trembling . , But howls this to be done I Gather your old servants around you ; locate them in their old cabins; let them improve them what they will, and add such comforts as they can; give them a piece of land; employ them at rea eomode s, ages, in proportion to what they do; legislate at mien in their behalf ; give them Public-schools, for they arc free, and must be educated, or their freedom will ruin boils them and you; leave them not to grow bitter and wicked over oppression, but to grow mild` and hopeful by kindness; make stringent, but equitable police laws, bearing alike upon White and black; enact a vagrant law, :thZtt will keep alt out of vicious hllenegA.. And with these no regulations as to -wages need be made, but that matter may be safely trusted to the balance of demand and supply. Above all, leave them free to go where they will, so they are not vagrants ; and in all your legisla._ tion,legWate for white and blade alike. Do not wait till ruin is already upon you, nor leave others to attempt a work so easy to you, So impossible to them. Public sentiment is More easily led in the Southern States than anywhere else on earth, and if a few wealthy, influential men, scattered here and there, will begin to gather their slaves itrollrot them, and quietly agitate for legal action, a Single year may make certain all that is needed. Remember, my countrymen, that interests are now committed by Providence into Notir hands, such as no other class of men on earth ever had. The future of a whole race is pre eminently in your keepir , ; and the future of yourselves and your posterity is in the Sallie balance, and must go up or down, as that peo ple shall, under your guidance, conic to be freemen indeed, or go back to be savages and brutes. In this erisis,may the wisdom of Omniscience direct you, is the prayer of Your friend and fellow-sufferer, 12..

NEWMEs•ALLIc xttoys.—dcssrs. T. Thmlevie and John Jones, of England, have patented a metallic alloy, to be employed for the bear, inKs of shafts or frictional surfaces in ma chinery. The improvements consist in ;the combination and use of spelter and block tin, to which is added a small quantity of copper and a small amount of antimony, and the mode of combining the above in the melting pot is as follows : First, take four ounces of copper, melting or fusing it any Ordinary trrtleible. When fused, add sixteen ounces of blocli-tin and one ounce of antimony ; when the whole are melted together, pour the compolind out into a mould. Then melt in a separate vessel 128 ounces of spelter, together with ninety-six ounces of block tin, and when both are fused, add the above ingot of copper, tin, and antimony, and fuse alte gether ; when properly fused in these propor tins, or thereabouts,. the alloy is complete, The chief fcaturcs of this alloy are of great durability, and its low temperature when under the heating luntuniee of friction. For lining, bearing:s 2 journals, &C., the by,ar- In is 10 b e tinned, m the ordinary inenusl r with block tin and salamiiine. The improved lining alloy is then gradually fusel, and the hearing - 'heated, until it will fuse a solid strip of the alloy. A heated shaft, Or mangril, is then enclosed in the hearing anti and the alloy peureil in - between the bearin g and the shaft, remaining until It hardens ;the bearing is then taken from the mountiined with the alloy. . . THE ATLANTIC CABLE. Sketch of the fable as it Appears on the Great Eastern. FOCH .WORDS A MINUTE TRANSMITTED MOROI THE COILS WHILST IN THE HOLD. (From the London Times, July 15.] GREAT. EASTERN, July 14, MA By the time that this notice reaches the pub. lie the Great Eastern will probably have 7> 6 - gun her eventful voyage. At daybretyr to morrow the single Trotman's anchor, 'which has held her safely against wind a9.t title du . „ ring the late severe weather, wiy be raised, and under easy steam the mopoirous ve ssel, with her ponderous freight, will he carefully navigated through Dunooies channel to the open water, and thence slake the hest of her way to Valentia. It socans like mere iteration to explain again an the almost endless precau tions which have this occasion been taken to secure succees. Ilull, engine, stowage; and fittings of every kind have been carefully re vised, whipped or Unproved. All that the ex perience 0 previous attempts could suggest, all that Ow most earnest and painstaking fore sight could anticipate has been done ; every thmgnow rests with the weather. In the four grea t divisiOns on which the success of the un dertsking may be said to turn—namely, the ealqe itself, ts stev, age, the ship and its en, encs, nothing apparently has been over fooked. • ELECTRICAL CONDITION OP THE CABLE As reards the cable, it still remains m the same perfect state its When it was tested at the - works, and, in fact, its whole electrical cendi lion is such as the largest shareholder in the undertaking would desire for it. Its various lengths are now and have been for some days past joined up, and twice every day, morning and even ingonessages are sent through. The time which these occupy in transmission shows its condition to be as nearly invariable as possible. Last week experhn cats were tried with a variety of instruments to ascertain the highest rate of working speed with a low hat- I cry power. The best of these instruments was, it is said, one invented by Mr. Varley, with which it was found easy to work through the whole length of two thousand live hundred miles at an average rate or about four words a minute. At this Speed the signals were re markably clear and distinct, and it is still claimed that it is possible to devise instru ments which can raise the rate from four - words a minute to as high as eight or even ten. This, however, remains to he proved. FOUR 'WORM THE 31INIMIT3I ICATI: OF Tnsisrs3ll9- Yet, even in the absence of - such instru ments, there can be no doubt but that the gradually improving skill of the signalling clerks, as they become more accustomed to work through the wire, will, with he bettered electric-al condition of the cable, when at the bottom of the Atlantic, soon make four words a minute the minimum of what can be accom plished by this telegraph. The inaulatint , properties of the gutly pereha are always in creased by external compression. When sunk in the tremendous depths beneath which the cable is to he submerged, it is calculated that the weight of the water above it will give a Pressure of about two and three-quarters ton ro the circular inch. Under this enormous weight the built of the immiating core wilt probably be reduced one-third, and, in fact, so compressed on all sides as to most materially improve both"conductivity as and insulation. Such aids to signalling excellence, when cou pled with the benefit which the cable is cer tain to derive from the unvarying temperature at the bottom of the ocean, are likely to do more towards increasing the rate at which messages etlo be sent than any instrument whiebluis yet been brought folarlird. I=l=l7l Daring the time of paying out signals will be sent to Yalinutia for every "fifty miles of the cable sunk, and for every fifty miles the Great Eastern runs. TIM S, it will be perfectly easy for the public to follow her course on any map, and knew precisely by the difference between the distance int:Versed and the length of ,rabie sunk, the amount of stack that is being _paid out. Tliis slack, as it is called, will afford the best index to the state of the weather, and the way in which the Great Eastern is doing her work. o less than thirty-three per cent. of the entire length of the cable has been allowed for slack, or waste, as we may better call it. If all goes well not more than ton per ce.nt. of this will be used : but on the other hand, with bad weather or irregular going of the Great - i:astern, every coil will go over the stern Co the very last mile. So far nsregards the cable, STOWAGE OP THE, GREAT EASTERN. As Concerns the Great Eastern herself, Cap tain Anderson and his officers have taken every possible precaution as to her stowage and general equipment. From outside she seems at the fast glance to be almost alarm ingly deep in the water. It is, however, less her actual depth which creates this unplea- Sallt, impression han the appearanee which she presents of e sagging ff amidships. Of course, this awkward and most unpleasant appearance is merely an optical delusion, no doubt created by her deep trim astern. There is a difference of nearly live feet between her trim fore and aft: Astern she draws thirty- Ave feet of water, while under the bows it IS only fhirty Levels have been care fully taken to ascertain if any delleCtiOn was perceptible under the ponderous weight she bears. No si g n of change, how ever, has been observable. Before any of the cable was coiled on board one thousand four hundred tons of water were pumped into the aftermost compartments of the ship, and one thousand one hundred tons into the COlllll2l rt ments most forward. tinder these weights at her extremities %the Great Eastern deflected nearly an inch and a half, recovering herself directly' the water was pumped oat. This proof of strength is, of course, very satisfacto ry. It would have been more so, however; if the test strains employed bore a closer rela tion to the enormous weights which she has now on board. All told, the Great Eastern will leave the Thames with rather more than twenty-five thousand tons in her, a burden almost as great as the whole fleet with which. Nelson fought the battle of Trafalgar could have carried. CHANCES OF . A nom. All the weights are stowed as high as pos sible, to counteract to the utmost the Great Ewtern , s most unpleasant tendencyto roll. It is popularly supposed that this snip is al most immovable in any sea. Atrainst a head wind she is certainly very steacry, though she can pitch as well as other vessels, and has, in the Atlantic, aye, and even in the Channel, Taken in heavy seas over her bows. IsteVerthe less,. in a beam sea she is particularly "lively," and rolls just in proportion to her size—that is to say, she rolls very much indeed. Her motion is easy, slow and deep, occupying abont.fifteen seconds. To make her do this, - however, a beam sea of fifteen seconds inter val between the waves is necessary, and such a sea is rare even In the Atlantic. Of course, all her system of stowage proeeeds. on the theory that high-placed weights wilt prevent her rolling. The Agamemnon was stowed. after the same fashion on the occasion of, the last Atlantic expedition, and our readers will probably recollect that on that occasion the great line-of-battle ship rolled as if she was never coming up again. ADMETING THE COMPASSES. All the compasses nowon beard Were at first considerably affected by the magnetic influ ence of the cable. Some deviated as much as thirty-two points, while others ' strange to say, though almost similarly situated with regard to the tanks of wire, varied as little as six. Every one of them has now been carefully ad justed; and every one will again need ad- Justin( nt when the cable is out of the Great Eastern at Nevvfoundland. ABOVE pack. . _ All the running gear has - bCCTI removed from the lip ging, sO aS to obviate the possibility of anything falling from aloft into the paying-out machinery. Some of the yards have been lowered, and scarcely a spar has sails. The village of huts and workshops has disappeared from her decks, hut their places have been more than occupied by shanty coverings of various Muds, leading troughs, buoy rope wheels, gigantic buoys for floating tho cable at various depths from six hundred to three thou sand fathoms, and, above all, the whole space of what in other vessels would be the quartet , deck is occupied by, the paying -out apparatus. The praise which was at first bestowedupon the simple efficiency of this machinery has been amply vindicated by its every-day work ing, As far as can be known from mere pre liminary trials, it is absolutely perfect, Both screw and paddle engines are reported to be in very good condition. Every part of each, of course, has been carefully overhauled and examined. From the great depth of the vessel it has been necessary to considerably retitle°, or rather, reef in, the paddle floats. One-third has been - taken off of each float, and the two remaining thirds brought as close to the inner ring its pdSsible. On the voyage round to Valentia both screw and paddles win be used, while during the submergence of the cable the Great Eastern will depend mainly on her screw. The paddles, however, will be kept under steam, turning easily to save the screw the labor of driving.; them as well as the ship. This will be UM more necessary, as from the position of one or tile cable coils over rwO of the screw boilers it has been found necessary to shut off the latter entirely from steam, thus reducing the power of the screw engines about one-liftli—namely, from 1 50c to 1.'240 horse power. Another reason for the paddle en gines lleing kept going is the assistance they mar be - reouired to give iw keeping the vessel on h dr courw, side wind*. _ I , IMPARING FOR A They will be also used to reverse the ship at once in ease of any serious ‘.‘ kin It" occurring in the cable tanks. The experience of sub marine telegraphy- points always to one dan ger—that of stopping the paying out simulta neously with the stoppage of the vessel. The very rapid downward course of the wire being shaeniy arrested at its point of departure over the paying-out wheel generally eauSeS instant breakage of the repe—ac accident which is always as sudden as it is irremedia ble. In case of any stoppage being necessary, therefore, the Great Eastern will be at once reversed, so as to back her slowly over the line where the cable lie., until it hangs almost vertically from the stern. During the time the Great Eastern has been anchored at the Nore, the swell, and especially within the last few (-WO, has often been so great as to prevent the Service tugs from Sheerness enminn.along side. On some olayS, indac4, the sea has run very high, yet always without making..-the slightest impression on the big ship winch; from first to lasi, has remained as abolutely immovable as if she were aground. A Brutai Murder i ctsv York. James Smith, a young map who lived in Th My-second street, Dear Second avenue, New "fork, was brutally murdered about nine o>cloek on Tuesday everting, at the foot of Fifty-fifth street, East River. Front the evi dence thus far elicited, it appears that the de- Cens:ed, in company with Mr. llohnaelle, in Thirty-first street, near Second avenue, an other man, and two young women had been to the .4 , cm an p le at Jones' Wootis. They re turned in a small boat. and landed at Allays Point, fool of Filly-fifth street. and entered the public house, where they partook of re freshments. Another hottldond of men from J on es, Wood soon entered the place, one of whom accused Stan h 11311 i his companions with stealing a pair of oars.

One of his assail:lmb: knocked Smith down, and, I..trawthg a knife or "pier sharp in strument, inflicted three tertilde woundS On the back of his neck., a severe gash ;teross his throat, besides several less serious wounds. Smith sprang to his feet, with the blood gush ing from his wounds, and ran about ohe Run dred and fifty feet, when he fell to the ground and expired. The murderer then attempted to take thelife of Robit ati Ilewith the same weapon. The latter received one dangerous wound 0.1 the right side of the neck. Officers Clark and Heilman, of the Nineteenth precinct, succeed ed in arrestin , two mell, Peter Carley and Frederick Hooker, the former tt• boiler-maker, and the latter n boatinam on suspicion of having committed the - murder. Hooker made a desperate resistance, and could not be ar rested until Officer Heilman had discharged his revolver at him. The prisoners were taken to the station-house, and locked up.

Commissioner ANDT:Inti Jon NAO: , ,t, Prebident of the United Srateg He then, in behalf of the defendant, nored a discontinuance of the trial, on the gronnd that, under the provisions of the above order, the local court bad no juristi ieticia in the ease. The court would not admit the point, and or dered the trial to proceed. The officer then stated that the chief of his bureau in the War Department, under whom he acted, did not ae know ledge the right of the court to try the case, and that, therefore, the defendant would not answer the summons of the court. Pro ceeding with the trial, the statement of the plaintiff was the only testimony taken, and on that,.in default of the appearance of defend ant, Judgment was given against the latter to the full amount alleged, with cost, and an exe cution issued for the seizure of the property of the colored man to cover the amount. The civil officer having this in charge was prompt ly notified by the Superintendent of Freed Udell that a military guard would be called for to prevent the execution of the jedgment, and the case was reported to Major Gen, Howard. General Howard addressed a note to the Mayor of Alexandria, intended to be presented to the Justice of the Pence, in which occurs this pas sage: It. is plain to see that the old slave law of Virginia should have no force after shivery has been abolished, and that simple justice and equity require the reception of testimony from freedmen; hat as the courts Of Alexandria have decided differently, and the matter of jurisdiction is somewhat in conflict between local and United States authorities, and since 1 have a strong desire not to appeal to force, I have to earnestly request that you transfer cases arising between colored and white per sons, and between colored persons themselves, to the jurisdiction of the provost courts, or the courts established in accordance with paragraph 7 of circular No. 5, a certified copy of which I here acith inclose." - The Mayor of Alexandria refused to receive this leiter, and on its return, General Howard referred the matter to General Augur, Com mandant of the :Department of Washington. In this letter of reference General lloward says: Mayor Ware treats my comnignication with mailed disrespect, and deeline to recognize me, though acting under direct order of the President, as having anything to do with se curing justice to freedmen according to the law. lie refuses even to give me an answer in writing. I understand that the justices in the Alexandria local courts agree with the Mayor in this singular procedure,. .Irecommend that this matter may be again brought before the Mayor and justices of Alexandria through your Intervention. As these courts confessed ly cannot adjudicate matters between freed men and other people, please see if some ad justment cannot be had without resorting to force." General Augur referred the matter to Brevet Brigadier General U.H. Wells, commandant of .Alexandria, who, by a conciliatory course, has effected an arrangement whereby ail Cases that may hereafter arise, and until further or do", bct•wcen colored and white people, and in all eases where colored people shall be sum moned as witnesses, are tobe tried before Pro vost Courts, un,4er he seventh paragraph of Circular No. live, above referred to.

By and by the train apprOachod the tunnel at Muhl rough hill. The gay and festive lieutenant leaned over and whispered the lady's ear. It was noticed that she appeared thunder struck, and her eyes immediately after named with indignation. A moment more, and a smile, lighted lip her feat urea. What ehangesl That smile, it was not of plea sure,- but was sinister. It was unperceived by the lieutenant. She made him a reply which rejoiced him apparently very much. For the understanding properly of the narra tive—this o'er true tale—we must tell the reader what was whispered and what was re pled. Whispered the lieutenant, " i mean to kiss you when we get into the tunnel!" Replied the lady, "it will be dark—who will see it?" Into earthYs bowels—into the tunnel—ran the cars. Lady and colored nurse quietly changed seats. Gay lieutenant threw MS arms around the lady sable, pressed her cheek to his and fast and furious rained kisses on her lips. In a few moments the train came into the broad daylight ; white lady looked amazed, colored lady bashful, blushing ; gay lieutenant befog ged. "Jane" said the white lady, " what have you been doing?" Responded colored lady, nothing 1" "lea, you have," said the white lady, not In under tone, but in a voice that at tracted the attention of all in the ear; "see how your collar is rumpled and your bonnet mashed." Jane, poor colored beauty, hung her head a moment, the "observed of all ob servers," and then turning around to the lieu tenant, replied, "this man hugged and kissed me in the tunnel !" Loud and long was the laugh that followed among the pas.sengers. The white lady enjoyed the joke amazing-ty. Lieutenant looked like a sheep-stealing dog, left the car, and was seen no more during the trip.—Washrine Union. A 1-1101-11.

Death to the assassin of the night of the 10th.;' At thi3 Same Melhent a number of men tried to climb up to the box by means of the pillars which divided it from the inferior part of the 'house. The ex-Minister did not take any notice of this at first, but he speedily saw the danger of his position, and deemed. it pro dent to go out. Ills dig,ht was covered by his friends, and even by some of his political op ponents; and the correspondent of the Inde pendence, in relating the circumstance, adds that the irritation of all parties in the circus was so great that had he had not taken todight in time his life would probably have paid the penalty of his curiostv. Sots time since two men entered a cafd in iltouthe, Douhs, France, kept by a man named Cain!, and after knocking and calling repeatedly without any one appearing they looked into the kitchen, tiliCt were horror struck to see M. Guyon, a resnient of the town, lying dead on the floor with -a gunshot through his breast. They immediately gave information to the h . gendarmerie, wo, on searchin L; the house, tound Catal, the proprie tor, concealed in a closet on the first lloor. Cala! at come admitted that the fatal shot, had been tired by himself. lie said that . after ho and his friend Guyon had been drinking to gm her till a late hour, a discussion arose he twocii them as to some partieular mode of using :t gnu ; that lie (Catal) then fetehod his gun. and that, after Ceti] of them had in suc cession gone through the mameuvres in ones tinn, tinyon et:Oa - mica, " I ittn not afraid of death; place your gun here (laying his hand against his heart) and : you trill see 'win not shrink." Catal obekeil this strange order, and killed his friend on the .s:p?t. The general belief is that Catal , s sta Ps , is i rue, and that be and his friend both drank till they knew not what they did. Catal has been com mitted to prison. Arran the sale of four editions of Lord Derby's translation of "The Iliad" without alteration, be has submitted the fifth impres sion to revision, profiting. no doubt, by the critical opi» ions called forth by his work.
