The Cable.

According to the New York Herald, the regular
opening of the Atlantic Telegraph will not be de!
layed beyond the first Of October. At the last
accounts, Professor Hughes had two instruments
with him in London, and was preparing to leave
with one of them for Trinity Bay. 1t was ar
ranged that the cable company should send spe;
cial steamer from Liverpool to Trinity Bay on OF
about the 10th Of this month, to convey the Pro
feesor and bis assistants with ell necessary insru
ments and other fixtures for working the esble."-
He will arrive there about the Goth or 25th Of the
month, and will Of course require few days for
preparation and the adjustment Of the machinery
This will occupy him until the 28th Of September,
or perhaps to the st of October but certainly not
longer. If, therefore, lie succeeds in his calcula-
tons we may count upon being placed in the full
enjoyment of the fruits of his abors by the latter
date.

THE FANrAsTIcs.-The parade Of this motley
cavalcade concentrated the attention Of our oiti
zens last Saturday. Porches, corridors and We.
randas were possessed by on-lookers; the side
walks were much more than usually thronged
and the turnout of dogs, little negroes, and dirty
faces was astonishing. Rusticity too had come
to see, had Joined in to swell the crowd, and stood
in characteristic attitudes ready to be amazed, and

THE AFRICANS.

The Government will probably effect an ar
rangement with the Colonization Society, to take
charge of the Africans recently brought into the
Charleston Harbor, for one year after their arri-
val in Liberia, at cost of $4,000! In addition,
it is estimated thathe expense of supporting those
negroes until their arrival at their destination
will amount to 81, 200 per head, thus making the
snug sum Of about $500, 900, for this denerOlen'
concern (?)

YELLOW FEVER In CHARLESTON.
The Board of Health report one hundred and
three deaths by Yellow Fever, for the week ending
the 11th instant.
The Columbia Guardian Of Tuesday morning
says "that in consequence Of the ravages Of the
prevailing epidemic, and heavy drafts upon the
funds of the Howard Association in rendering Pc
euniary aid, that their treasury has become e1-
hausted and they have need to call upon the citi-
gems of the interior for help"
We hope that immediate measures will be taken
by some of our prominent citizens to extend aid
to our Metropolis in her distress. Who will COM
mence the good work!
In another column will be found comparative

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Z.
The debate on the question, "should American
slavery be perpetuated:' :' was opened, This even
Ing, at the National Guard Hall. The attendance
was not very large, but included a few negroes
The debate was commenced by Parson Brownlow,
in a speech read by Gen. Small, Of this City
The argument contained the strong, sarcastic and
humorous language for which Brownlow is re-
markable, and was written in bis loose and care
less style but, unfortunately, was not given with
the peculiar emphasis for which he is noted, He
argued that the perpetuatiou of Slavery is nsaes-
sary to humanity and sanctioned by God, and will
exist to the end of time. The. Biblical extracts
for proof Of the argument. were numerous. He
would make no defence Of "that vile traffic, the
Slave trade," although he believed it's evils we're
exaggerated. The latter party of the speech han
died that unmitigated generation Of human beings,
the Abolitionists, without gloves, creating ap-
plause and Kisses. 'iss98 - ~ .H'
The Rev. MIR. Pryne followed in an argument
against Slavery: Both speakers are evidently
reserving their strength for the close.

LETTER FROM LIVE OAK.

LIVE OAK, (San Joaquin Co.. July &c, 49,
Mr.. Editor II love the name of In
dependent, and fre-side conversation
once week, with your paper, has really
been a pleasure and profit to me. +
love to hear from the mountains and the
mines. ! was favored few nights since
with visit from j. W., one Of the Gala
veras boys, of old acquaintance, our con-
versatlon rendered me rather gloomy; he
informed me that many had gone to Fra
zer river. No doubt some of them would
like to be back in the mountains.
As the residents of the mining regions
like to hear from the valleys, shall give
you a few items. We are now engaged
IN thresing our grain-the buz of the
thresher can be heard every morning;
but | assure you, the farmers look gloomy.
Some Of them, south of the Calaveras,
have hardly raised secd-from three to
six bushels to the acre. North of the
Calaveras, and south of the Mokelumne,
we expected pretty good crop; but
when threshed, the grain proves to be
light-there is more straw in proportion
than grain; and then, to sell barley at
one cent per pound, is the rub. 1t costs
one-half cent to thresh and sack it, while
the cost of raising and cutting takes the
balance. No wonder the farmers are dis
couraged, yet the most of them will try
again. Our valley still shows signs of
life; we are getting start in the way of
raising fruit, and in few years we will
have plenty, and to spare. At Woods's
Crossing of the Mokelumne river, | no.
tice evident signs of improvement; they
will soon have beautiful bridge to cross
on-after the plan of the bridge at Sac
ramento. The Masons have put up a
fine hall, two stories high-the upper one
is used as a hall, and the lower one for
public uses, church, &c. They also have
one public house, one store, one doctor
shop, one daguerrean saloon, one wagon
maker shop, two blacksmith shops, few
other buildings, and young ladies enough
to hold respectable ball.
Mr.. Editor, the valley air would do
you good, were you to come down and re-
main with us for few days at the Live
Oak. Try it; you will always find my
latch-string out. Yours, ever,
LIVE OAK.

PUBLIC LANDS FOR RAILROADS.
The Washington correspondent of the
San Francisco Bulletin gives the follow
ing:
The Committee on Public Lands have re-
ported bill granting to Nebraska Territory
six alternate sections of land on either side of
the railroad extending through the entire
width of the Territory distance of 500
miles. Mr.. McKibben has also been instructed
to report bill giving to the State of Califor-
MIA the like amount of lands for railroad
from San Francisco Uia San Jose to Stockton,
and from the latter city to Sacramento; also,
for a railroad from Benicia, or Vallejo, to Sac
ramento, with branch on the west side of
the Sacramento river to Marysville, and from
thence to Shasta. In the event of there being
no public lands within the immediate SIX Sec
tions, the State is allowed any other public
lands east or west of the line. The passage
of these bills will be equivalent to the con-
struction of over one thousand miles Of Pacific
Railroad!

ENTHUSIASM IN A SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The following story is an acknowledged
"good 'un," but believe it has not be-
fore found its way into the papers.
A few years since some roguish boys
in town not thousand miles from the
capital of New Hampshire persuaded Jo-
seph ~, or as he was generally called,
"Joe,' to attend Sunday School Joe
was an overgrown, half-witted, profane
lad, and the boys anticipated considerable
fun out of him; but the answers to the
various questions propounded, were given
so readilyand correctly, that no one could
for a moment suppose that he was not
fully versed in theological lore
Joe was duly ushered in and placed on
a settee in front of the one on which his
friends were seated, and the recitation
commenced.
The teacher first questioned the class
on their regular lesson, and afterward
turned to Joe.
my FRIEND said the teacher, who
made the world we inhabit?'
'Eh?' said Joe, turning up his eyes,
like an expiring calf.
who made the world we inhabit?'
Just as he was probably about to give
the answer, one of the boys seated behind
inserted pin into his (Joe's) pants,
about nine inches below the ornamental
buttons on his coat God Almighty,
answered Joe, in an elevated tone, at the
same time rising quickly from his seat.
THAT is correct replied the teacher,
but it is not necessary that you should
rise in answering; sitting posture is just
as WE'LL
Joe was seated and the catechisln pro-
ceeded: who died to save the world p
The pin was again inserted, and Joe
replied, Jesus Christ in still louder
voice, rising, as before, from his seat
THAT is also correct, but do not mani
fest so much feeling; do be more COM
posed and more reserved in your man.
ner, said the teacher, in an expostulating
tone.
After Joe had Gained down, the exam
inatiOn went on.
What will be the final doom of all
wicked men p was the subject now up
for consideration, and, as the pin was
again stuck in" Joe thundered out,
with a higher elevation of his body, hell
and damnation.'
MY young friend, said the instructor,
you give the true answers to all these
questions but while you are here, we
wish you to be more mild in your words.
Do endeavor, if you can, to restrain your
enthusiasm and give less extended scope
to your feelings
