y J. KEITH, soc'ty,
New York, September 2.-Thc arrange
mcnts which have been making for some
weeks past tor the Atlantic Telegraph cell
ebratlon were consummatcd yesterday, in
all their grandeur of design and minute
ness of particulars. AS a general thing,
business was suspended, and our citizens
seemed entirely devoted to the object and
tho occasion. We may safely declare the
ovation of September j 1858, us an event
equal in its character to any that has ever
preceded it, while as public celebration,
it must be considered as the grandest PIT
gcant ever witnessed on this Continent.
In accordance with the published pro-
gromme, the great and cventful day, which
will hereafter be ,chroniclcd in the worlds
history, was inaugurated by full cathe-
dral service at {" Old Trinity" The scene
within this magnificent building, at early
morn, was solemn and imprcssycin the cx-
trcmc, for while Broadway was ina turmoil
of excitement, the cathedral aislcs of old
Trinity rcposed in silence, as quiet aud as
peaceful as the cable, laid on the oceans
bed, whose natal day was about to be cell
| cb@tcd as the bond Of lasting union be-
tween the two great nations of the earth.
Broadway aud the other principal thor
| oughfares were magnifcently decorated
with banners, transparoncies, mottocs, SC.
The display of tho military companies and
societies was the finest ever witnessed in
this city. The procession marched to the
Crystal Palace, where addresses were deliv-
I l>,.A
cy, Howell, McSpaddep, Davis, Dudley
and others.
The vocal and instrumental music was
executed in tic most skillful manner, and
the execution of each piece called forth the
warmcst applause from the vast concoursc
of ofspcctators.
The torch-light procession of the Fire
Department. closed tho ceremonies of the
day. The department turned out very gen
orally, and made, as they have never failed
to do, an exceedingly 6ne appearance.
LAWYERS ENGAGED IN THE REVIVAL.
The correspondent ofthc Savannah lNor-
ming Ne'os, writing from Athens, Ga, on
the 10Th ult., says:
1t is worthy of uote, that the lawyers of
this (wcstern) circuit are now carrying on
most extraordinary revival at Jefferson,
in the adjoining county of Jackson--Su-
perior Court being in session there. The
most prominent movers arc Hon. James
Jackson, the representative from this Con-
gressional District; Thos. r. II. Cobb, Esq;
b. III. OVERLY, Esq,, former candidate for
Governor Hon. James p. Simmons, for
mcr candidate for Congress in this district;
and W. j. Peoples, ESD, of Lawrcnccyillc.,
These gcntlomcn are all active and ardent
church members, and arc exerting their
utmost efforts i'll carrying OH the great re-
ligious work which seems to be pcrvading
this whole country. Just such work was
commenced by the same members of the
bar, last week, in Walton county, which is
now going on, I learn, i'll the hands of tho
regular ministry.
Before dismiss this subject, it will not
be out of place to mention, as remarkable
fact, that nearly every membcrof tho bar,
in this circuit, is professor of religion, and
most of them are active aud enthusiastic
Christians. With no disposition to be in
ydious, must take the liberty of speaking
particularly of i. II. II. Cobb, Esq, of this
town. Mr.. G. has long been known, not
alone throughout the State, but all over the
country, as the most talented and industri-
Gus lawyer of his age in Georgia. But those
who only know him as a lawyer arc npabIo
to appreciate his true character. Here in
Athens he is known as high-mindcd, hon
orable, Christian gentleman--a finished
scholar and an enterprising, liberal heart
ed citizen. He has been prime movcrin
many of the improvements which hsye been
made in the town of late years, and it was
mainly through his active cxertions and all
most princely liberality that the beautiful
buildingslnce named the Lucy Cobb In
stinte, in honor of a lovely daughter of his,
lately deceased-was erected.
SroP THAT BoY.-A cigar in his mouth,
a swoggcr in his walk, iinpudcnco in his
face, care for-n -nottliiiGgHSee i, kie a.aa%er,
Judging from his domeanor he is older
than his father, wiser than his teacher, moro
honored than tho mayor of tho town.
Stop him--hc is going too FAST He don't
know his speed stop him, ere tobacco shat.
tcrs his nerves, ero pride rnins his charac-
ter, ere good ambition and manly strength
give way to low pursuits and bial airns.'s
Stop all such boys Theypre tho
shame of their families, tho di of
their towns, the sad and solemn reIl{yachos
of themselves.
