The Atlantic telegraph.

Perhaps the greatest achievement of art,
since the application Of steam to locomotion
by Henry Fulton, is that Of lightning to the
transmission Of News. This overcame ev-
cry obstacle which presented itself, until
it was proposed to span the Atlantic, and
bind dott'g mother to her erriny daugh-
ter. Nature seemed at first to war against
this mighty project, as if determined never
10 permit SO close union between these
near relations. But nature has finally
ceased her exposition, and we have the glo-
rious privalege~of announcing te eur read
ers, that We, the citizens of Augusta are
within two hours communication Of Lon
don. Farther comment from US is unne-
cessary, but we will give instead, the latest
from our exchanges. The following is from
the Boston Post and gives the history Of the
telegraph from the time of it's landing:

without blood shed, without expense. E.
ven the opposition will hardly refuse to ac-
knowledge that the result Of this measure,
can be but unaloyed good As regards the
Walker Fillibustering question, certainly
one Of the most delicate, both in reference
to international law, and the additional I'M
portance attached to it, on account Of its be-
ing made an issue between the North and
South-thot has been settled with even more
than usual wisdom, and tAat bone Of conten-
ton has been Withdrawn from the legisla-
tive halls. We had intended in this article to
consider somewhat in detail the charge Of
extravaganza brought against the govern
ment by its enemies, but we have space on
ly to glance at them. It is an undeniable fact
that, the expenditures Of the past two years
have exceeded that Of any other two years,
and this fact has been :paraded before the
people, without any of the surrounding cir
cumstanoes. In the first place, the present
administration has had to foot many a use
less bill passed by Black Republican Con
gress; additional expense was to be incur
red, OF all the money before spent was to be
lost; then the Utah war with all its contin-
gent expenses, and the troubles in Kansas,
with the standing army which was required
to repress them, must be considered, and last,
but not least, the monetary crisis, which
stopped in great degree, Importation, and
thus depressed tie revenue Of the Federal
government to an enormous extent. From
this the opposition steal an argument for a
high tariff, saying that with 9 high tariff
the same amount ofimportation would have
yielded q sufficient revinue for all the pur-
poses Of the government. 70 this, we have
only to say, that while with a low Tariff, the
revinue is at low ebb, in times Of money
pressures, With a high tariff, it would
be eternally so, and tibet the present time,
the custom-houses would yield Absolutely
nothing with a high tariff. Considering in
connection with the above mentioned facts,
that the governmet has curtaiIed expenses
wherever it was possible, we arc justified
in concluding that, the expenses Of the
present administration are not more than
are absolutely necessary.

For the Vsndscutor.
CRAwroRD's SPRINGS. Aug. 9, 1858.

Dear SIR In justice to the public, as
well as to myself, ] will make the follow
ing statement: ssOn Friday last, the 9th
inst, [ took the cars with my wife and two
servants at Shawell Depot, for Pond Gap
Depot, being just out Of along spell Of sick
ness, and then laboring under assevere at
tack of gout, which disabled me from walk
ing without much pain and inconvenience,
having acquainted .ae Conductor, whose
name, I understand, was Pierce, with my
situation, and requesting him particularly,
not to pass the place. Yet, what was my
establishment at finding myself put out up
wards Of half a mile beyond the Depot,
with mountain on one side, and preci-
pice on the other. Imagine my situation,
exposed to the hot broiling sun, with no
other alternative than to walk. Surprising
myself above the Depot, we made the at
tempt to walk it, leaving one of-my servants
to take care Of the Baggage L directed
the other to get down the precipice and
pass over to the road on the other side Of
the Creek, and look for Crawford's House,
requesting them to send some conveyance
for us, as / could not walk without the great
est difficulty but got a half a mile further,
when became so faint and exhausted from
pain, as well as the excessive heat and
thirst, that I could no longer proceed, but
had to lie down on the side of the road,
where / remained until the cars returned.
I implored my wife to walk on and get me
some water, or else I should die; we were
then alone, both servants out Of sight and
hearing After going fully half mile,
she saw a man cutting hay, who kindly
came to her call, and brought me water,
he also, got horses, on one Of which | was
lifted by himself and his servant, he carried
us to his house, where he got q third horse
and accompanied US. We were then three
miles, instead Of "a halfa mile, from Craw-
ford's Springs. Mr. Norris, who went for
my baggage can testify he found it between
one half, and three-fourth miles beyond the
depot. IF such Conductor is not dis
charged from his Office, I think the Presi-
dent is unworthy of his own.

you will greatly oblige,
Your obedient servaut,

Fire: Fire!!

On Saturday night, last between the
hours Of eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire
broke out in the stables owned by Mrs. Nc
Carly and Staples, Martin g. Go. The
building being dry and filed with combus-
tible material, was soon cnveloped in flames
beyond the hope of saving it. There were
two horses in the stable at the time, but
both were fortunately saved without reciev-
ing any injury. The Augusta fire company
was promptly on the ground and by their
exertions prevented the fire from spreading
We are glad to see chat the council is about
doing something for them and hope it will
not be long before they will purchase a
new engine. Its to the interest of the CT

ssspiting a Son."

A correspondent Of the London Times re-
lates the following story-if story it is--lo-
eating the parties in Vienna. Strange things
happen frequently in the "old country ;"
"a few days ago, a Baron Silbersteln
died here. and after his death no money
was found in his house, though he had al
ways passed for wealthy man. Inquiries
were made by his heir, and on its being
discovered that banker had paid into his
bands the sum of 10, 600 forms but few
days before his death, his valet was arrested
By policeman on suspicion Of having made
way with the money AS the man said that
his master left his bed couple Of days be-
fore he died. in order to burn some papers
n the stove, the bedroom was searched.
Nothing but the remains Of documents were
found, and the servant was kept in custody
until it occurred to some one that it might
be as well to examine the other stoves.
The examination was made, and the nu-
merous remains Of bank notes of 1000 forins
each, proved the innocence Of the valet and
destructiVeness Of his master The Baron,
who was divorced from his wife, often ex-
pressed doubts about the legitimacy of his
only son and in order that he should profit
as little as possible by his death, he burned
bank notes to the value of 100000 forms
(G16, 200)-When the door Of the stove
was opened the word thousand was dis
tinctly visible on many Of the consumed
notes, which, of course, fell to pieces when
touched"

The Late Elections, ana What They
POrtend.

Since our last issue, returns have been re-
ceived from several Of the States in which e.
lections have taken place. The result Of these
elections is no matter Of surprise to US, be-
cause we had felt too well assured, all the
time, of the certain triumph of the Demo
cratic party The defeat Of Blair, in the
St. Louis ono. } congressional district, is a
triumph, at which, laying all party consid-
erations aside, the South, as unit, have a
right to rejoice. Such may ever be the fate
Of men. who, forgetting in their blind am
bition, everything save their own advance
ment, sell and pander their honor to please
the tastes Of what they suppose to be the
majority of their constituents. Blair then
the emancipationist, is beaten by Bennett
by an overwhelming majority. The sue
cess then Of the Democratic party, IN the
States of Missouri, Oregon, Kentucky,
North Carolina and Alabama, is not want
ing in encouragement to the friends of the
only true Union loving party. It is the
death kneIl to the hopes of Black Republi-
canism and at the same time prognostieates
glorious triumph OF the Democracy party
in 1860. With these prospects before him,
then Let no Democrat, however weak his
faith, despond. We must recollect too that
these victories have been obtained in spite
of an enormus amount Of vaunting and
boas5ing by the opposition, who are always
so unfortunate as to shout their bravadoes
before the battle has begun, but whose
voices are invariably silenced by the firt tap
Of the drum. And whilst speaking Of these
results. and claiming them as Southern tri-
amphs, to be rejoiced over by Southerners,
we cannot help expressing our regret at the
position which one Of the most influential
opposition journals Eve mean the Richmond
Whig) has taken, viz aethat Of uniting all
the elements Of opposition, for the overthrow
of the Democracy. That is the Southern
wing Of Know Nothing party is willing to
unite with Black Republicans, a5ozttiontsts,
freesoilers and emancipationists, for the
overthrow Of a party, which has shown it
self national in all its tendencies. And
what would be the position Of these South
ern Know Notilings, should the opposition
succeed-of which we have no fear. They
would occupy about the enyiable position Of
the s'poor dog at the FEAST" having to be
content, not merely with the crumbs of their
more powerful allies, but these will be sea-
soned by contemptuous kick, occasion
aliy, By way Of reminding them Of their in
feriority. Such indeed, is the miserable
post, Which these noble and patriotic
men are willing to assume, for the glorious
privilege of once more being on the side Of
the majority. We invoke the ghosts Of the
noble founders of that noble party Of which
the Wig was once an organ to arise and
shame their unworthy successors.
