ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.
There is a reasonable prospect that the
new Atlantic Telegraph will be more elle
eessful than its predecessor. A. great ex
periment is being made, the object of which,
it has been truly stated, is to bind together
in closer communion than ever the two
great nations of English-speaking men. If
successful, this continent will be linked not
only with England but with all the na
tions of the Old World. What was an ex
periment in 1858, assumes the appearance
of certainty in 1865, Thanks to the deep
sea-soundings, the path between ,Valentia
and Newfoundland is as carefully mapped
out as if it had been triangulated on dry
land. The points to be accomplished are
tWO—first, that the Cable shall be laid on
the bottom of the sea, between the termini,
ithout strain or breakage ; and next, that
messages can be sent through it across the
Atlantic. The trial of 1858 gave one re
sult—tbat messages could be so transmitted.
If the continuous power of doing this
failed, it was partly because the Cable was
defective. Indeed, before one fathom of it
was placed in the sea an organic defect in
its construction was publicly pointed out.
Yet, even with that defect, it unquestion
ably did convey some messages from shore
to shore, Gradually its power—originally
never great—grew feebler and feebler, until
at last fatal DE SAUTE announced that the
affair was a failure.
The thing seems plain enough. We know,
from experience, that a mechanicaLaction
at one end of a wire can be repeated at the
other. The new Cable, in the centre of
which the wire is imbedded, has been
manufactured, it is said, with unusual care
and skill—which, hoWever, did not prevent
what is called " a flaw," or defective por
tions in the part that was paid out quite
close to the Irish shore. That flaw, fortu
..
nately discovered in time, was immediately
repaired, but we ccnnot help thinking that
such repairs (effected by cutting away the
imperfect part and splicing the ends) must
weaken the line, and enfeeble its power of
transmitting intelligence.
Whether the electric communication can
be carried through a line which is two
thousand five hundred miles long, de
posited on the great ocean-floor of the
Atlantic, is the great scientific doubt and
difficulty. We are positively in the dark
on that point, which affects all the rest.
We are only experimenting, after all. No
doubt, if we experiment long enough, we
shall succeed in the end, But these experi
ments are enormously costly. If the line
will not properly work because of its
length, there will be nothing for it but to
divide it into stations, at each of which
new electrical force can be supplied. The
contemplated telegraph between France
and America will have several of these
stations, or resting-places, on the Atlantic.
The smallest islet would suffice, and the
line might run to the United States from
.Brest, with stations ,on the Azores and
Bermuda. For our part, we have greater
hopes of the Collins' telegraph, across
liehring's Stfaits and through Asiatic and
-American Russia, than on that between
Valentia and Newfoundland. It will pro
bably work slowly, on account of its extent,
from its circuitous route, but it promises to
be sure.
The uniting of the Old World and the
sew, by telegraph, will be a great. step in
the progress of civilization. The means of
communication is of less importance than
- the thing communicated. There is now a
telegraph between Calcutta and London,
and a message flizim these extreme points is
conveyed in four-and-twenty hours. The
most important news yet transmitted has,
however, been the price of cotton and the
collapse of certain over-speculating mercan
tile houses in Bombay. This news might
have been waited for, but the power of
sending really important intelligence in a
-wonderfully short time is of national im
portance. Were another insurrection to
take place in India, the news would be
flashed over the wires, and a fortnight
would be gained for sending troops to the
scene of action.
It is not anticipated that any very great
use of the Atlantic Telegraph, if established
in working order, will be made. At pre
sent, the expectation is that on an average
six words a minute can be transmitted.
Three hundred and SiXty words an hour,
and these sent only one way, there being
only a single wire, is not much. It has not
surprised us to find that the charge for trans
mitting a submarine message has been fixed
at five dollars per word of five letters.
Allowing for necessary pauses and acciden
tal delays, this would bring in fifteen hun
dred dollars per hour, out of which the cost
of working and interest on the capital in
vested must be paid. Charging for the
names of senders and receivers of messages,
and haying all figures, even the date of
transmission, written fully in words, seems
sharp practice, the effect of which must be
to limit the communications to matters of
necessity or importance.
We do not anticipate, should the new
telegraph succeed, that the newspapers will
use it extensively. At the best, telegraphic
despatches are hasty and abridged. The
news comes quickly, but with less com
pleteness. We shall receive, little more
than the ghost of news from the Old World
—the cost will partly account for this, and
the capability of the telegraph itself will be
a check upon "long yarns." Whatever
the newspaper arrangements for receiving
this news may be, the readers of TUE
PRESS may be assured that full provision
shall be made for supplying them with it,
however costly.
If the Atlantic Telegraph Permanently suc
ceeds, not muchtime will be lost, it has been
announced, in laying down a second cave.
By that time, too, it is likely that steps will
be taken in this country to provide an
American, in opposition to the sub-Atlantic
line, WhiCh, With both its termini on British
territory, is exclusively and particularly a
British. institution. Whenever competition
commences the tariff of prices will natu
rally adjust itself:
Drum° the brief period that our armies
held possession of Louisiana, 120 schools,
with 230 teachers, 15,000 children in day
schools, and 5,000 adults in night school;
were established for the instruction of the
colored race. Many of the pupils have
in turn become teachers of their relatives
and friends, who were unable to attend the
schools, and thus instruction in the rudi
ments of .education has been widely dis
seminated. In all the other slave States
education followed our flag, and the seeds
•of knowledge were planted
ousands Of
minds from which intellatual light had pre
viously been systematically excluded. Much
undaUhtedly yet remains to be done. What
has been actomplished may perhaps Only be
properly considered a beginning—but it is
..beginning. We have not only destroyed
the manacles of the slave, but we have en-'
deavored to redeem him from the thraldom
of ignorance. We regret to see many in
stances of cruelty and injustice on the part
of the white men of the South in their'
transactions with the negroes ; but it is a'
great gain on the old order of things that
these outrages are reported at all, and re- 1
dress is frequently obtained. The freedmen
have active and powerful friends, who have
ended forever the old system which granted'
absolutely immunity to white criminals
who chose black victims. In some locali
ties, the rate of wages is entirely too low, and
there is much to reform and improve ; but
in others, again, fair rates of compensation
are allowed, and quite a considerable quan-:
tity of land, in the aggregate, has been con-`
verted into small homesteads for the use of
colorwl tam
I r9REiGN PORT CHARGES ON ARE.
RIEAIIT STEAK,ERs.
A most important eta?, recently decided
by the Court of Queen's Bench, in Ire
;and, settles the law on a curious point.
Mr. Stront'E, Secretary of the Cork Har
bor Commissioners, brought an action
against Mr. INMAN, well 'mown by his
proprietorship of the line of steamers (Phi
ladelphia, New York, and Liverpool,)
which bear his name. All the steam
ers, trading between New York and . Live
rpool, have been accustomed, of late years,
to call at Cork, for a double purpose
—to take in the latest passengers and
to receive the latest mails. The Cork Har-
Nit Commissionews, who act under a
private Act of Parliament, wanted to levy
certain tolls on these steamers, Merely for
calling outside. Queenstown, more familiar
ly known by its old name of the Cove of
Cork, A section in the private Act in
question "empowered" the Commis
sioners to charge certain . rates upon
all vessels entering their harbor. But
these rates were to be paid on all
"vessels'reporting at the Custom-House
of Cork." Mr. ImtAx refused payment,
whereupon he was sued. His defence was
that his vessels did not come within the
meaning of the Act, for though they called
in the harbor for a few hours on each voy
age, they did not and need not report them
selves at the Custom House. It was alleged
against this that it did not matter whether
they reported or not, and that coming into
the harbor at all incurred the liability to
pay the tolls, The Judges of the Court of
Queen's Bench decided that the section
giving power to impose tolls and the see
don which declares that these tolls shall be
Payable by vessels reporting at the Custom
House, must be read togethel, and that as
the INMAN . Steamers do not report, they
were not liable to the tolls.
It is said that this case will be carried to a
higher Court, and that, if beaten there, the
Commissioners will endeavor to obtain a
new Aet of Parliament to meet the case.
They were in th.e habit of levying these
tolls upon all steamers 4iading between
America and Europe, and this decision
will deprive them of a handsome 're
venue. If at any time the tolls
in question are again exacted, the Innarr
and other steamers will cease to conve
nience the public and the. British post-office
by calling at Cork for passengers and mails,
and will transfer the trade to some harbor
whose cOnSerVators are more liberal and
less grasping. If Cork should cease to be a
port of call, it will very greatly be injured.
In former days the city of Bristol was the
port of nearly all the West India shipping
trade. The corporation raised the port
dues, and, at the same time, Liver
, pool provided good dock accommodation.
The result was, the West India vessels de
serted Bristol, which has declined ever
since, and Liverpool was built up so as to
become, what it continues to be, the second
commercial city of the British empire. The
attempt by the Coreagian officials to plun
der steamers trading between the United
States and the United Kingdom, is about as
brazen as it would be for the landlord of a
hotel to charge a man With so many dollars
for board and lodging, merely because he
had stood on the footpath opposite for half
an hour.
KR. GREELEY prints in yesterday's Tri
bune an extract from " Occasional's" letter,
exposing the conspiracy to foist disloyal
members from the South into the Congress
of the United States, for the purpose of
discrediting the national securities, and ulti
mately repudiating the national debt ; and
then states that
; "The rebel Congressmen can only be
brought into the Capitol in triumph , by, the
success of the policy which declares that the
loyal colored people of the South are a degrad
ed race, and must be disfranchised and 'pro
-tested,' while the repentant rebels are allowed
to Tote into power the men who led them
through four years of rebellion."
After elaborating which Mr. GREELRY
says :
"We thank Mr_ Forney for sounding, this
'alarm) We have given him a remedy, and
now make this bargain with him; If ho will
assist us to do justice to the colored people,
we will assist him to prevent the repudiation
of the national debt. If the Republic is in a
new let us join hands and save it."
- Most cheerfully will Mr. FORNEY "assist
to do justice to the colored people ;" but
we do not see bow Mr. GREELEY can join
in the good work, having made another
"bargain" to pardon all their worst ene
mies, the "'repentant " and impeni
tent rebels. We suspect the "colored
People" will - find the justice of their great
and exclusive . friend, Mr. GREELEY,
coupled with the forgiveness, and, in that
case, inevitable restoration to power of their
late oppressors, rather a hard "bargain."
THE PROCLAHATIox of A. J. HAMILTON,
the new Provisional Governor of Texas,
indicates by its firm, decided,.and manly
tone, that he is faithful to the Union pro
clivities which were eXelllpUe4 by his un
swerving opposition to the whole secession
movement. If he persistently maintains the
policy he now clearly and unequivocally
enunciates, there is little danger that slavery,
under any form or guise, can be perpetu
ated in Texas, or that the freedmen will
be deprived of any rights or privileges which
the nation has endeavored to secure to them.
No Northern man could expect more
pointed, emphatic, and pertinent declara
tions on the issues growing out of emanci
pation than those which Gov. rfAmmrolit
frankly utters in the extreme southwestern
frontier of the old donainion.s of slavery,
where its champions quite recently sup
posed that institution had acquired a new
and interminable lease of life from the rich
virgin soil.
A PORTION of the soil of North Carolina
is admirably adapted to the growth of the
Scuppenong grape, a native variety useful
for the manufacture of superior wine and
brandy. While slavery existed, and the
simplest and least troublesome forms of in
dustry sufficed to secure some sort of a live
lihood for master and slave, its culture was
neglected ; but since a necessity has arisen
Ibr serious exertion by the planters, some of
them have resolved to become imitators of
LONG - WORM and the California wine-grow
ers. The real capacities of our Southern
States will never be known to the world or
to their own inhabitants until years of the
patient, careful, and protracted toil of free
society fully developes them. The barba
rism of their old institutions almost as
effectually veiled their resources as if they
had continued under the dominion of sa
vage tribes.
The Prodigals.
The letter of "Occasional" in to-clay's Press,
has the tree ring of sound policy as well as of
sound sense in it.
Again, I say, let the nation, with its tongues
of type, take up this matter, and daily declare
all over the land, that it is the unshaken will
of the people that no Southern State shall ever
return to its old place in the national family
until it has repaired the damage of its treason
—so far as possible—until it has torn its old
slave code from its statutes, and writtenthere
a law doing present and future justice to that
race it has so long abused; till it has begun
Ibe work of making those wholly and intelli
gently free whom it has so long enslaved and
brutalized. Let her thus daily declare that
hatreds must he laid dOwn as well as
arms; that her justice must be respected
as well as her power; and that there
:•-hall he no creeping back Into old places
%%Idle old daggers are whetted in secret and

there are in reality conditions of return, they
are ootiditiOnS he must submit to—not impose ;
and that the arm of the nation is yet muscular
and nervous as ever, as powerful to strike and
as strong to hold. And when rugged facts
like these are found to be ingrained in the
natiOIVS Creed, it will set our erring si s t orm to
pondering the question, - whether it is for their
good or the nation's that they should return.
For them a Government is certain. The only

Wattle Hampton's Lotion
The call of the Provisional Governor of
South Carolina for a Convention to be holden
on the first Tuesday of September seems full
of honesty and good 'intentions, both towards
his State and the Union, and is, so far, an omen
of good. But the letter of General Wade
Hampton, which seems to pass uncritioisea, if
alike honest and well intentioned, ia,certalnly
most unfortunately phrased to leave such im
pression. Though General Hampton has been
a great rebel, he may now be a good Union
lovin g citizen; but if so, he takes but little
pains to prove it in this letter defining his in
tentions and WiSheS. When advising-the peo
ple to take the oath of allegiance, the reasons
given are not a returning love of country, not
the good of the nation, but because, having
failed to secure theil" rights" by war, they
must now adopt another course for the same
Purpose. So, in Wade Hampton's opinion, and
by his advice, "the old rightsm (ultra State
rights, secession, and slavery) for which South
Carolina lighted the torch of war, battered
down Sumpter, and deluged the - country in
blood, are to be still contended for, though not
by arms—still worse, by perjury and treason.
What else means the following monstrous
paragraph in his letter :
War, after four years of heroic but unsuc
cessful struggle, has failed to secure to us the
rights for which we engaged in it. To save any
of our rights—to rescue anything more from
the general ruin—will require a. the states
manship and all the patriotism of our citi
zens. If the best men of our country—those
who for years past have risked their lives in
her defence—refuse to take the oath, they will
be excluded - from the Councils of the State,
and its destiny will be committed of necessity
to those who forsook her in her hour of need,
or to those who would gladly pull her down to
irretrievable min.')
To 'Wade Hampton, rebellion is still an " he
roic struggle;” the monstrosities for which it
was waged, to him, are still South Carolinian
" Mins," tor the iireseilvatioll of which any
oaths are to be taken that .stand between
traitors and the ballot-box. To his mind,
South Carolina only is his country. To his
mind, the only patriots of his State are
those flre•eating gallows birds, "who, for
years past, have risked their lives"
in the attempt to blot - this nation
out of existence ; 'and there are no "good
men" but officers and soldiers from the rebel
army. In Wade Hampton's estimation all are
traitors to South Carolina who have stood true
to the Union, and -such men he boldly, but
falsely, stigmatizes as, men anxious for her
ruin.
Wade Hampton relies much upon his owwn
strength, or the imbecility of the National
Government, when he ventures thus lightly to
veil—rather thus openly to proclaim his real
opinions and motives for taking the oath and
remaining at home "for the present." Read
again:
Choose for this Convention your best and
truest men • not those who have skulked in
the hour - of 'danger—nor those who have wor
shipped mammon while their country, was
bleeding at every pore—nor the politician,
who, after 'arena' war, dared not encounter
its hardships—but those who laid theta- all upon
the altar of their country. Select such men,
and make them. serve as your representatives.
You will then be sure that your rights will not
be wantonly sacrifled, nor
_you liberty barter
ed for a mess df pottage. Aly intention is to
pursue the course I recommend to others.
Besides the obligations I owe to my State,
there are others 01 a perSePal character which
will not permit me to leave the country at I
present. shall devote myself earnestly, if
allowed to do so, to the discharge of these ob.
ligations, public and private. In the mean
time, I shall obtain all information which
would be desirable in the establishment of - a
colony, in case we should ultimately be forced
to leave the Country. I invoke my leliew-eiti
zens.--espeeially those who have shared with
me the perils and the glories of the last four
years—to stand by our State manfully and
truly."
So, no man is, hereafter, with Wade Hamp
ton's consent, to have any part in the govern
ment or counsels of South Carolina who has
not "risked his all" (Yes, and thank God, lost
it too) in lighting his own country and mur
dering his own kin. Such, and such only, are
to be elected and "made to serve"—(a hard
make, it strikes me, whilst the nation's eyes
are open and its list clenched)—as South Caro
lina's representatives.
If an honest desire for peace and the coun
try's prosperity exists in this man's heart,
why thus bid for perjury? Why thus seek to
draw lines and keep burning old tires of ha
tred? Why thus eulogize the victims and
relies of a wicked war, brought on by them
selvesl Why thus traduce men who have re-
Mained loyal to their country? Why thus
keep up a preparation for future expatria
tion ? Does not Wade Hampton know the
terms upon which he can remain a peaceful,
prosperous citizen of South Carolina and the
United States? *--Yes, very well, he knows them
all, and is determined not to accept them.
Wade Hampton is a specimen of the great
majority of the. Southern leaders. Ife is de
termined yet tO get by, perjury and covert
treason what he has failed to get by open re
bellion and war.
Very well he knew that this letter of his
would be understood at the South and have its
effect. But counting upOn the anxiety of the
North to find loyalty and union in every pos
sible place at the South, he hoped that its
poisoned fangs would escape detection here,
by its slight covering of submission.
It would be well for the country (unless this
letter is the most bungling and ill-conceived
piece of loyal composition ever penned) if Mr.
Hampton would change his mind and lead his
emigration company out of the country at
an early day, instead of remaining a while to
look after his " personal" affairs.
Perhaps the Government might, as a special
favor, be persuaded to give him a left-handed
lift in that direction . , instead of accepting him
as a member of Congress from Carolina.
The advice he gives his old companions, to
take the oath 'of allegiance, is good; but the
reasons he gives, and the motives he urges,
and the perjury it contemplates, is bad in the
extreme.
I suppose any other man, whose home, and
interests, and friends are in the South, has as
good a right as Mr. Wade ilaraptonte advise
his people what to do. And, as such an one, if
my advice could reach them from Phila.:
delphia, as his can from South Carolina,. I
would advise them also to take the oath; and,
more, Co keep U. To accept the condition
of things as it is, and henceforth set earn
estly at • work—not to foment further di
visions, and plot further treasons, and en-
Slave more men, and-ruin themselves; but to
undo old wrongs; to strengthen new and
friendly bonds; to cement and guard the
Union, and to be true and - loyal citizens, not
to South Carolina alone, hut to the nation;
and if this is what Mr. Hampton intended to
advise his countrymen, he is certainly a more
unfortunate writer than soldier, and that is
saying a great deal, Gr wyErt.

Prrrsnuom, August 8, 1865.
Probably no one of the. great thoroughfares
leading fromPhilatlelphis possesses more mat
ter of general interest to the traveller than
the Pennsylvania Central. Prom Philadelphia
to Pittsburg. is a distance of three hundred
and fifty-sixmiles ; and when wereeollect that
this. journey, which formerly consumed some
two weeks of travel, is now aceomplisiled in
some thirteen hours, we can appreciate the
wonders that have been aChieved in civil en
gineering, and form some idea of the benefit
derived from the construction of this impor
tant railroad. To the PennsylVanian it is pe
culiarly gratifying to be thus eitatded to travel
from the eastern to the western border of the
State by this means, and especially so as its
ltne displays, to a remarkable extent, the va
ried agricultural and mineral resources, and
also some of the fineat romantic and natural
scenery within our boundaries. The road
from Philadelphia to Harrisburg prineipally
passes through a region which is unsurpassed
for the abundance of its crops, but which, at
the same time, on account of its numerous
streams, furnishes water-power for a large
number of cotton, woollen, and iron manufac
tories. Chester county contains the great val
ley which is celebrated for its grazing farms,
and is the admiration of every traveller. Lan
caster county contains more level or arable
land, and is proudly called by its citi
zens the Garden Spot of the world. The
former was settled originally by the So
clay of Friends, and while they differ
very materially from other denominations
in many respects, in others bear a striking re
semblance to the Xenon ists and kindred aSSO
ciatiO2lS, who have always formed a prominent
portion of the population of Lancaster and
the adjacent counties. Harrisburg has been
Much enlivened and improved during the pro
gress of the war, and on account of its accessi
bility and the fact that so many roads radiate
therefrom, as well because it is the State capi
tal, has been used as a sort of depot for hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers who have
been organized, drilled, equipped, and sent
forth to the seat of war, or to such points as re
quired their immediate services. Severaltimes
it was threatened by the rebel hosts, and a
number of fortifications were erected on the
southern banks of the Susquehanna. Camp
Curtin, the rendeivout for the ,State troops,
WI) contains a few soldiers. The greater part
Of the Pennsylvania troops, however, have
been mustered out and sent to their homes.
The long bridge whichspans the Susquehanna,
a few miles west of Harrisburg is an object of
great interest. The view from this bridge is
very grand. The natural scenery in many re
spects bears a striking resemblance to
that which ebounds in the neighborhood
of the Chain Bridge in Virginia, some seven
_ ilea from Washington. On its western
side however, a number of extensive
rolling mills arc located, and have
been kept in active operation. As soon as we
cross the suSquehanna bridge we notice a very
marked ehange in the appearance of the coun
try. The line of the road follows the coarse of
the stream for a considerable distance, and
immediately to our left is a range of hills
which in some places rise to a great height, at
an angle of more than forty-five degrees. The
heavy rains have washed the banks fearfully,
and in many places deep gullies bear witness
to its havoc and destruction. At Lewistown
we enter the Juniata valley, which is con
sidered one of the most charming portions of
the State. The stream is winding, and is
crossed at several points by substantial
bridges. We notice that the railroad company
have erected several iron bridges, which have
a light and tasty appearance._ Although rather
expensive at first, they will prove to be a
saving in the end, as they will obviate the ne
cessity of the employment of watchmen. At
Altoona, the compaey has inaugurated a min
iature city, and its machine and workshops
afford employment to thousands of laborers
and mechanics. Some of the finest workman
ship in the country is here produced. Ten
miles further on, at Cresson, we reach the
summit of the mountain. The company have
here erected a magnificent hotel, which is
one of the most fashionable and popular
of places for summer resort. It is but a few
years since this enterprise wail Started. The
spacious grounds around the hotel have been
highly improved, and during the season
they are crowded with visitors. At Hunt
ingdon, passengers leave the train for
Redford Springs, by means of the Hopewell
Railroad. On account of our inability to ob
tain accommodations at Altoona or Cresson,
we were compelled, much to our regret, to
maks the journey across the mountains at
night, and were thus debarred the pleasure of
witnessing the grandest portion of the scene
ry. At Johnstown, the company has also very
extensive works. Johnstown contains some
eleven thousand inhabitants, and a number of
cotton factories, in addition to rollling-mills,
foundriesotc., are in active operation. The oil
excitement in this vicinity has subsided.
Several l'ears ago oil was found In small quan
tities in various parts of. Cambria County and
the entire community were more or less .inte
rested in the subject.
A number of wells were sunk near Johnstown,
but were subsequently abandoned on account
of the small price the article emtmanded, and
t - he expense required for operating. Latterly,
however, an enterprising firm have purchased
a large tract of land near the summit of the
mountain. It is no longer believed that oil
can only, be obtained in low and miry ground.
The coal beds have been removed in several
places, and, after boring six hundred feet, oil
has been obtained in various localities. A cm.
'AGM .phenomena, is to be seen on the
road leading to Ebensburg, the county
seat of Cambria county, The road bed
is laid on the apex of the moun
tain, which, forms what is called a water
shed. All the streams and little rivulets on
the one side of this read find their way into
the Ohio, Mississippi, and thence to the gulf
of Mexico ' while those on the other empty
into the Susquehanna, and thence to the At
lantic Ocean.
In the darkness of the night we hurry on
past Blairsville, Latrobe, Greensburg, Brin
ton% and other Stations of minor importance,
I and reach Pittsburg at half-past two in the
morning. The fog and smoke render it very
unpleasant at that early hour, and are
well calculated to give a .stranger an
unfavorable impression, and to bewilder
and confuse him as he first treads on the
sooty soil of the Iron City. Carriages and
omnibuses for the various hotels are waiting,
even at this late, or rather early hour, and the
street lamps are well lighted. The old time
henored custom of crying the hour of the
night has lately been revived, and the
sonorous tones of the watchman are heard
in every direction, at all hours of the night.
No manufacturing city in the State has been
more injured and at the same time more bene
fited bythe war than Pittsburg. It formerly
commanded a large share of Southern patron
age. Its glass factories, iron works, nail,
and cotton mills, and tobacco warehouses,
were taxed to their utmost to supply the
Southern and, Western, together with the
Northern and Eastern markets. The city is
bounded by the Allegheny, the Monongahela,
and Obi° rivers, and the great railrpedseentre
and radiate from this point. Its harbors and
levees are admirably adapted for trade, and
are at this moment lined with the old-fashion
ed Mississippi steamboats, with their curious
smoke-stacks. It is connected with Allegheny
City by three bridges, spanning the river of
that name—one of which, a Suspension iron or
wire bridge, similar to that at Niagara, is con
sidered one of the finest structures of the kind
inthis country. It cost three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. During the visit of the
Prince of Wales to Pittsburg, it was in process
of construetion,and was much admired by him.
self and his distinguished suite. On the oppo
site side of the Monongahela is Birmingham,
while Manchester is near toile city Ofallegha
ny. It is supposed that Allegbany and Pitts
burg cent ain a population of one hundred and
twenty thousand. The Fort Pitt Iron Works,
celebrated for their immense guns:and cannon
of all kinds, are on the banks of..fhe Alleghe
ny. They are still in operation. Several of
the glass works remained idle during the
war, nut with the renewal of the South•
ern trade, 'they will be carried on more
largely, probably, than ever. The nail
mills are constantly running. The iron
works on the opposite banks of the
Monongahela are built at the foot of a high
mountain, called Coal Hill, which abounds in
bituminous coal. These mines are worked dif.
fereetly from the anthracite mines of Sehnyh
kill county. Iforjeontal gangways are opened
in the mountain, and studded with timber;
The coal is brought out in small ears, drawn
by Newfoundland dogs, and, by means of
schvies, are emptied directly into the furnaces,
or lodged in boats that line' the wharf, as may
be desired. The supply of this coal is cone.:
'tiered inexhaustible. The surface of the
latrd is sold separately from the mining inte
rest, and is capable of profitable cultivation:
There is something in the soil hereabouts
especially adapted to the raising of fruit.
Peaches and pears are grown in great perfe&,
tion. Pittsburg is shut in on all' sides by
high mountains. Elegant country residences
crown their summits; from which delightful
views of the: surrounding country can be
obtained. On the .Alleghany Bide the land
on these mountains has, to a very great, ex
tent, been used for vineyards. The first im
pression a stranger receives is that cornfields
flourish thereon. An immense quantity of
native wine is annually manufactured here-
No town, except those immediately in the oil
region, has been more' :materially improved
by the wonderful Oleaginous discovery than
Pittsburg. It has been, and will doubtless
continue to be, the principal depot for the

and sale of petroleum. Acre it is frequently

leunr, and the atmospliare IS ailed with
it. Some years ago, this portion of Pitts
burg was selectetd . as the most desirable
site fOr- hendsome private residences;but
ere lOng, it wild be abandoned on ac
count of the petroleum traffic. The oil
is frequently brought here in fiat-boats,
In bulk, and only barreled after it is re
fined and prepared for the market. There
have been instances where, through care
lessness, or intentionally, it has. been set
On fire while being transported here, and at
such times the scene on the river has been pe
culiarly grand. It is impossible to form any
idea of the extent this trade has reached, and
it is, doubtless, yet in its infancy. The oil
lands of Western Virginia are not mdny miles
distant. None Of them, I believe, have yet
been fully developed, but it is confidently
predicted that, they will prove equally as
valuable as those in Pennsylvania. Many
persons who a few years ago were in
very moderate circumstances, now boast
their millions. Petroleum princes are quite
common. A number of them are residents
of Pittsburg. They are generally shrewd
business men, and know how to take care of
the immense fortunes they have so -suddenly
accumulated. The heavy rains of this SCason
have done immense damage hereabouts, In
the early spring the river rose some twenty
eve feet, and came up to near the centre of the
town, and the recent storms have caused heavy
losses. Farmers in this locality have frequent
ly been unable to gather their crops, and their
wheat and oats remained in shocks until they
were entirely ruined, or else were swept oft
into the streams and rivers. The high hills that
surround Pittsburg naturally render it one
of the easiest places to defend in the Union,
During the excitement of 1863, however, when
a raid of the rebels was anticipated and
dreaded, there were no fortifications on
these hills, and the town WAS almost wild
with excitement when the citizens, men
and women, turned out and built twenty
seven forts. It so happened, however, that
after their work was finished, upon inquiry
they ascertained that while Pittsburg was
the grand depot for the manufacture of
warlike weapons, the heavy guns, naniton,
ac., had all been sent away as soon as comple
ted; but the emergency happily passed away-
There are many handsome stores here, with
iron fronts of the most complete models. Sta.
team brackets, &c.. are used as ornaments
These, as well as all the painted walls and
buildings, are soon discolored by the
Showers of soot, and everything wears
a dingy, appearance. The churches are
numerous and well attended. The most
conspicuous of these is St. Paul's Cathedral.
It has been many years in building, and is not
yet finished. It 18 very massive, and for size
compares favorably with the celebrated Cathe
drals in Philadelphia and Baltimore. The
figures of Saint Peter, St. Pabl, and St. John,
appear to be life-size, although they keep
watelifrom the towers of this lofty edifice.
The smoke and soot have had no particular re
gard for thorn, And although cut out Of Freeport
or light sandstone, they are clothed In the
same sombre garb that enshrouds everything
in the Iron City, and look as if they were lite ,
rally clothed in sackcloth and ashes. One of
the loveliest spots, and the most extensive of
its kind we have ever seen, is the cemetery.
The plat of ground, some sixty acres, was ori
ginally purchased from Gewsral Bayard. It was
then a considerable distance from the tewn,
but the rapid strides of improvement have
reached it, and the road leading to it is quite
denaelybuilt up. The demand for lots, and the
'rapidity with which it filled up during the
year in Which the cholera raged here, induced
the managers to extend their space, which
now covers some two hundred acres. Nature
• has never levitated more bounteously her gifts
than in these same grounds. Every variety
of scenery here abounds. Natural and artifi
cial lakes have been arranged. Thirty-five
miles of a drive can be had within the
cemetery walls.• While many of the /OW
have been highly improved, much of the
property remains in its primeval state.
The monuments are as varied, and as costly or
inexpressive as the taste or the means of the
purchaser could afford. Many of theta are ex
tremely novel and beautiful, and others have
evidently been erected too much for the sake
of the outward show. I will not attempt to
give you a description of the cemetery, nor
will I prolong what has already grown into au
unreasonably lengthy letter. R. P. B. G.

The oath is explicit, yet some at least of
those who have taken this oath manifest a bit

This is perjury! if they cannot comply with
the conditions of-pardon, in good faith, they
ought to abide the COnaekences of their ori

. 111.7 CEICI3VS OP THE STATES, EAST AND
The returns of the census now being taken
in the several States, under the auspices of the
State authorities reveal many curious and in
teresting„facts. The decrease in population in
many localities, and the increase in
others, developing as it does the ebb and flow
Of the tide of population, presents a feature
worthy of a careful study. The great West+
ward tendency of our population revealed by
the national census of 1880 still continues, and
at a more rapid rate. The present census not
only proves that this feature, so noticeable in
the lust census, was not a temporary affair;
but that the change is . going on even at a
greater ratio. Thus in 1860 the returns
Irons the Atiantic—especially. the New Eng
land States—revealed a decrease in the pop!,
hitiOD in many towns. The.same result is
shown by the census now in progress, not only
in regard to New England, but also in some of
the agricultural districts in this State. Such
manufacturing towns as Lowell, where it
would be supposed that the population would
have increased, it has declined. The same is
true of other-manufacturing towns of New
England and agricultural districts in all the
Atlantic States. Rut when we turn to the
census returns of the Western States, we
lind, instead of a decrease, an enormous in
crease, and at a ratio tenfold greater than the
decrease East. This change must, from the very
nature of our country, its climate and cha
racteristics, increase from year to ye'ar, work
ing the -1110 Et decided results in the political
Entail's of the country. The decrease of tile
population in many parts of New England
foretells similar - decline of power and in

only points to the fact that the day is not far
distant when the Mississippi Valley will he

their civil rights will bey then they will pick
up the dropped threads-of the past, and. weave
them into a form of prosperity, so that the

EX-00y. LOWE, OP MARYLAND—A REMINISCENCE.
The New York Wortd gives an account of the
first rebel.campaign into Maryland in Septeal
ber,lB62, purporting to come from an officer of
General Lee's staff, and reviving the story of
Enoch Louis Lowe's contemplated usurpation
of Executive powers in this state, which was
currently believed at the time, but has almost
been forgotten amid the whim of events.
Speaking of the purpose And expectation of
that rebel invasion, the officer says
I have remarked since that, although the
Richmond - papers claimed that all had been
accomplished that was designed in the inva
sion of Maryland, viz t the capture of Harper's
Ferry, yet from such.knowledge and informa
tion—and my opportunities were many—l was
enabled to glean that, that was not the Sole
object. General Lees own manner was stilli
'ciently indicative of a great disappointment.
Resides, while we were in Hagerstown, ex-
Governor Enoch Louis Lowe, of Maryland,
who was in Richmond, was expressly despatch
ed, to my certain knowledge, to hasten on to
Maryland, where he was to be invested with
the 'power of Military G'overmar of the State,
On his way thither he stopped a night in Win
chester, and made a speech from the portico
of the hotel, there stating whither he was going
and for what. This is well known in Winches
ter,. and on my arrival there dozens of persons
told me of it. Alas for the ex-Governor ! He
reached the Potomac just in time to welcome
us back to the sacred soil,
The General had been most persistently
Crammed with stories of the unanimous South
ern feeling of the State. "It needs but our
army to show itself there," argued these
Marylanders, and untold numbers of recruits
would be added to our army; 50,000 some went
us high as. Well, the result; some three hum ,
dred, all told. The soldiery had also been told
by the Marylanders among them to what a

therefore, with a considerahle feeling of genu

The Coquette well has longbeenlmownasthe

country. It commenced to flow on the first of
November last. It was then estimated at
seven hundred barrels. It has decreased
somewhat since then, and, at the time of its
failure, its flow was estimated at fourhundred
barrels, We are illfermed that its production

The Meniala Ilvitetin of the 31st refers tO
business matters as follows:
" A casual survey is sufficient to show Wet
the trade of the city is now fixed en a basis of
capital sufficient to weather ahnost any'finitn
cial storm that may arise hereafter. It is
astonishing to sae the amount of buidneSS
daily transacted here,' conSidering it le the
dullest season of the year. Reports from va
rious sections - of the outiti• show that the Dorn
MOP is large beyond precedent, whicslt will un
doubtedly cause the very lowest ruling prim
in that article next fit&i. The presei
cotton crop E however, must be must
war closed too Ist& for the cotton-p lan son, and farme r ` as a general thi
planted for domestic oonsUmption
seed. It is too early yet howl
Make Anything like an estimate
the crop will be, Outside figurel
place the yield beyond one-eighth the
mode in iSco—Bay five hundred tl
bales. From this has yet to be dedm
injnry that may occur from a bad
the worms, and the want of suits
trolled labor. Cotton continues to col
pidly from the country under the
mimes, •as most of it Ass to be In
wagons, in some Instalidea over two
tidies."
