would be snapped, and without motion
some way there is no power of steerage.
At this critical moment, too, the wind
shifted SO as to render it more difficult to
keep the heed of the ship up to the cable.
as the cable then chafed so much that in
two places damage was done to it. A
hackle pin and wire rope belonging to
one of the cable buoys were passed over
the cable and secured in blight below the
hawser holes; these were hauled so as to
bring the cable to the right hand side Of
the boat, the ship still drifting to the left.
1t was necessary to do this instead of
bearing away, as we were near the end OF
the cut of the cable In the boat there is
an iron wheel with a deep groove and a
"V" wheel from the groove by the side
of which is similar but smaller wheel.
On the same axles the cable and the wire
rope together were coming in over
the bows of the groove in the larg-
er wheel, the cable being wound upon
drum behind by the machinery, which
was once more in motion, and the wire
rope being taken in round the capstan by
bars: but the rope and the cable were not
coming up in a right line, but were being
hauled in with great strain on them at
an angle from the right hand side, SO that
they did not work directly in the V in the
wheel; still, up they came, with the strain
shown on the indicator to be very high,
but not near the breaking point. At last
up came the cable and the wire rope
Stacking together in the V wheel in the
bow.
They were wound round it slowly and
were passing over the wheel together, the

The H0usatOssic II. II. Tragedy.

The Bridgeport Farmer gives the fol-
lowing account of the disaster on the
HuuSatonic r. r. on the 10Th inst. where
by l. or II persons lost their lives and
many were severely wounded. Gross and
criminal carelc~>nc>s led to the collision.

Il humber of lives were lo~; and large

taken to prevent such an accident, no flag

AttrOciOus Treatment of Negroes

The Southern Christian Intelligenccr of
August 5 says: eff onc-tcnth part of
the reports are true, which are coming
from all parts of the South thicker and
faster, most shocking state of things ex-
lists. From localities where there are no
national troops come reports that the I'M
fortunate negroes are being hunted down
like dogs and dispatched without ceremo-
ny. The newspapers in the South are
filled with accounts of these brutal muir
ders which foot up an aggregate of several
hundred deaths per day, which is proba-
bly, only a small portion of the number
noticed. An Alabama paper says that
this business has become so extensive and
fcommon that some planters even boast that
they could manure their lands with the
dead carcasses Of negroes. If negroes can
be shot down daily in garrisoned towns
where the authorities are unable to stop
this state of things, it is very reasonable
to suppose that this brutal work is carried

no protection. This wholesale numbering
of human beings is, we fear, the practical
working of the conspiracy to exterminate
the colored race, which is revolving to the
Christian age
The Raleigh Progress of the 10th learns
from Col. Lawrence, commandment of the
post at GollsbOro, that SIX negroes were
killed at or near Warsaw two weeks ago.
Their former owner left on the approach
OF the Union army, the negroes remain
ing. They went to work and made a
crop. The former owner returned recent
| ly and ordered them to leave. The ne
groes refused, and the proprietor of the
place getting some neighbors together with
arms, ordered them off again, and. on
their refusal to 90, attacked them, killing
six. A company of soldiers was sent up
from Wilmington, and an investigation
will be made, if it has not been made al
ready.

TRIAL OF WIRZ,

The trial of this Andersonville jailor
commenced this week at Washington be-
fore a military commission to which has
been added Maj Gen. Lew Wallace, Maj.
Gen. Geary, Maj. Gen. Mott and Maj.
Gen. Lorenzo Thomas. The commission
met in secret session on Saturday, and af-
ter organizing adjourned till Monday. 1t
is said that other prisoners than Wirz are
to be tried before this court. and among
the rumors concerning the trial of Wirz
are that it is the intention Of the Judge
advocate to call on the testimony of rebel
officers and residents from AndcrSonyille
and vicinity, believing that the evidence
from that quarter will be sufficient to con-
Wet the villain and that Wirz is not to
be tried at all, but is to be used as state
evidence against Davis, as he has express
ed desire to make important revelations
as to the extent that Davis was implicated!
in the outrages of the southern prisons.
This too is all speculation. The proba-
blities are that he will follow in the foot
steps of his illustrious predecessors, Payne
and Mrs. Surratt.

TIE CABLE FAlLC RE.


Elsewhere we give detailed statement
Of the accident to the Atlantic Cable, Aug.
ID. II will be found full of interest. At
ter the cable parted, the Great Eastern
went to work with huge grapnels to fish
up the broken end. 1t was thought that
the grapnels found the cable and raised 1t
part way 10 the surface, but were not pow
erful enough to secure it. Whether this
was the fact we exceedingly doubt. How
ever, it is announced that the Great East
ern has returned to England for better
dragging machinery, when it is supposed
she will return and try again to raise the
cable The water is over two miles deep
where the cable parted, and although it is
stated that the projectors of the enter
enterprise are hopeful yet of success, hope
has we'll nigh departed from the commu-
nifty generally.

JEFF. DAVIS TRIAL.

1t is now said that Davis trial will be
held at Fortress Monroe, and that a court
room is being prepared for that purpose.
We presume this is all speculation, though
it is hoped the arch traitor will be tried
soon. In letter to r. II. Gillctt, one of
his counsel, Davis says 81 am still ig-
norant of the charges against me, the
source of them and the tribunal before
which am to answer. Your letter gave
me the first notice of the Washington in
dictment." Davis requests Gillett to have
conference with Charles O'Connor of
New York and his only other counsel, so
that they may be prepared for the trial.
whenever it may be brought on, with as
little delay as the nature and Importance
Of the case will permit.

hundred passengers were lost. 1t was not
dark, and it is stated the boats saw each
other when six miles apart, and slgnaled
to pass. No explanation is yet made OF
the collision, but the loss Of a hundred
lives is matter of too much consequence
to be lightly passed over. If there is
blame in the case it should be placed on
the culpable person. The first engineer
of the Pewabic, r. G. Jackson of Detroit
behaved like a hero His young wife
was with him, her first trip, and the sec
ond engineer urged jackson to look out
for himself and wife, saying that he could
swim and could take care of himself
Jackson refused to leave his post, and he
and his wife sank together.

SHREWD "FINANCIERING.'

The public has been startled by some OF
the most mon,trous frauds and defalca-
ton, in New York which have ever oc-
CURED in any country. We gave bret
account of the Phenix and ketchum ras-
calities last week. Jenkins, the bank tel
Ter. has been examined, and the New
York papers have been filled with the de-
vclopments. 1t is the same old story OF
fast women. fast horses and fast living
generally. jenkins had been carrying on
his peculationS for several years, and a
part of the money that he distracted from
the bank went to support fancy woman
and her butcher boy companion, who now
find their source of supplies suddenly dried
up and themselves figuring in jails and
criminal courts
The Ketchum forgery is found to be
immense. None estimate it now less than
four millions, and many firms and parties
in New York and elsewhere are deeply in
volved by this ra>cality. Young ketclum
has not yet been discovered, though de.
tectiycs are after him.
AS crime is contagious it is not surpris.
ing to learn that Mr.. Henry Singer, book.
keeper for A. Aufenanger & Co., whole.
SUE grocerS, was hauled up Saturday and
confessed that for a year or so he had sto-
len from so to $50 a day from his EN-.
pioycrs and spent it upon his friends
The firm is probably out $4,000 or SO by
MIR. Singers populations. lie was to have
been married Monday morning, and his in.
tended bride attended his examination anG
manifested considerable interest in proceed
ngS. Singer is in the Toombs and is like.
ly to be severely punished, for his green.
ness IN not stealing more than a paltry
$4,000, we suppose, as the big thieves
90 free. 1t is also reported that an EN-.
Ploye OF an express company located al
New York has left the city with a consid
cradle portion of his employers money.
