The Atlantic Submarine Telegraph.

The proceedings in regard to the Atlantic telegraph
cable, in England, are exceedingly interesting We
extract the following from article the subject
to the London Times of the 24th ult,
The AgamemnOn leaves Greenwich day, and
after the adjustment of her compasses proceeds at
once TO Queenstown, where the other vessels com
posing the squadron, the Niagara, Susquehanna and
Leopard, will also rendezvous. During tie trip from
Sheerness to Queensto vn experiments will be made
by laying down about twenty miles of cable, in or
der to ascertain that everything is in good orking
condition. By this means the stiffness of the paying
out gear of which considerable distrust is entertained
will be accurately tested, and the amount OF risk
known which the scheme will have to encounter in
mid ocean, These trials, however, are 10 be strictly
private and none tut those actually connected with
the operations about to be undertaken, will be allow

1t has been thought advisable alter the arrange
ment by which the cable was to have been joined in
md-seas, and the Agamemnon and Niagara then
make the bess Of heir way 10 the shore-the former
to America and the latter to Ireland Now he plan
to submerge the whole cable in continuous line from
Ventia Bay to Newfoundland. The Niagara will

half on board the Agamemnon, which takes it on to

whatever assistance is required. While it ie being
laid down messages will he sent back to the coast of
Ireland, reporting each days progress and if nece.

forward to the result of The undertaking with the
deepest interest," as some wonderful electrical pheno
mena certain to be observed during the process
of submtrglng. Those most nearly interested in the
plan are sanguine as all being successfully COM
Lle:ed within month, and the state Of the markets

expectations may be realized, though it is useless
attempting to conceal the risks of failure TO the pre-

Knoxville Convention.

AUGUSTA, August 14.-On the 11h inst, resou-
lions were adopted by The Knoxville Convention u,g-
ing Government TO withdraw our squadron from the
coast of Africa and TO fortify the harbors of Port
Royal and Mobile Other resolutions were referred,
endorsing Mr.. Mann's ferry project, advocating Gov
eminent patronage of Southern steamers, and the
repeal of the fishery bounties.
On the 18th the Business Committee reported
against free trade and direct taxation against the
South receiving goods coming from States for up
holding the Fugitive Slave Law, and against The dis
elimination on the part of the government in favor
of foreign mail lines from Northern ports The Com
mi,tee reported in favor of exemption of one slave to
each Shareholder from seizure for debt in favtr of
erecting Arizonia into territory in favor of re-
covering certain land lost by recent treaty with Mex.
leo. The Committee also reported that The time had
not arrived Tor The Convention 10 consider the re-
opening of the African slave trade, and resolution
in favor of Montgomery as The next place of meeting
for the Convention. The resolution for the with
laval of the squadron from the African coast was

The Knoxville Convention.

Some ten States are represented at Knoxville. Mr.
DeBow OF the Review is President, assisted by Vice
President from each of the States, together with
number OF Secretaries
Some six hundred delegates had gistered their
names, Many only waited for the organization, be-
ing unable to remain for want of accommodations.
So far, little or nothing has been done. The Com
miteo on resolutions had reported unfavourab'y to
Free Trade and direct taxation-had recommended
the withdrawal of the United States Ships from the
coast of Africa-thought the agitation fer the re-
opening of the Slave Trade pl.maurc-had endors
ed E. Dudley Mann's Steam Ferry scheme-recom-
mended the building of Notifications at Mobile, Ala
bama and Port Royal, S. C.-thought that no trading
she ud be done with States that failed TO carry out the
provisions of the Fugitive Slave Law-requested the
representatives of the South to vote for no bestowal
of the government patronage 10 steamship lines to
foreign ports unless the South should receive her fair
share Thinks the Fishery Bounties ought TO be
abolished.
A pretty warm debate expected upon the
question with the reference to the e-opening of the
Slave Trade The South Carolina delegation will
urge an expression of opinion in favor of it, but the
majority of The States will oppose it.
The other resolutions mere generalltles, with
the exec pon of that having reference to the besow-
al of government patronage steamship lines TO
foreign countries. There is something in that.
The delegates complain of the unsuitableness of
Knoxville for the holding CT convention. and rath.
er hint at disposition among the Tennesseeans to
skin their guests
A. S. Merriman, of North Carolina, is one of the
Vice Pres DENTS and A. Gaines, from the same State,
one of the Assistant Secretaries.

John Wesley Edwards, about Is years of age, who
was employed in the mills, wen, up on the roof Of
the builng at the close of the days' work to shut
down the sky-light windows. The roof was quite
slippery at the time, account of the rain which
had fallen, and it is supposed that the unfortunate
youth lost his footing and fell distance of some forty
or fifty feet into the water below. When it was els.
covered that the boya was missing his father, Mr. E.
Edwards, who is also employed IN the mill, correct
