The Wertz Trial.

AsHisGToS. Aug. II
The motion to quash the charges and speci
fications against Capt. Wertz. made bv the
defendants counsel. was figured principally b.
Judge Hughes, who contended that they were
too general and uncertain and that the oifense-
charged were cognizabie by civilandnos mill
tary courts.
The commission overrnled the motion and
the prisoner then pleaded not guilty to tht
charges against him.
Col. Chapman. the Judge Advocate 10 day
suggested that the prisoner be remanded tc
the Old Capitol and that the Court nov ad
journ.
Judge Hughes wanted to know 10 what time
the Court had adjourned.
Col. Chapman replied that he would notify
the counsel OF the reassembling of the Court
and then requestedthe Witnesses in attendance
to give information AS to where they resided
and instructed them not to leave the CITY un.
til properly discharged.
Judge Hughes said he would like to be
heard. Col. Chapman replied that under the
Parliament law he could not be. Maj Gen.
Wallace said the Court stands adjourned, con
sequcntly there can be no argument.
Judge Hughes, and the prisoner having been
arraigned, said We enter our protest against q
break up in the Court or an indefinite ad
journmeut. We ask for the discharge Of the
prisoner or that the Court proceed to trial
Maj. Gen. Wallace repeated that the Cour,
had adjourned. During the colloquy the
prisoner was removed from the court room
by military guard.
The adjournment without a day having been
named for reassembling of the Court took the
counsel and spectators by surprise. No rea-
son is as vet known for this course, though
there is a suspicicion that the charge Of con.
spiraey may be withdrawn.

The Atlantic Cable Signal Sys-
Fzszs tenn -

A letter in the London Daily Ners thus
explains the system of signalling through the
Atlantic cable, while it was possible to signal
at all:
''Y on are, imagine, aware that no speak.
ing is attempted, but that all the signals here
received are restricted to the Insulation and
conduction Of the cable. Two cells only are
made use of, as lam informed, from this side,
and the same power, believe, from the ship.
| am perhaps telling you nothing new, but it
can do no harm # repeat, that the system is
asfollows S. At ten minutes before every
hour Greenwich time) the ship commenced
signalling to us. The ordinary signals is FIVE
reversals, one every two minutes the signals
for every fifty miles paid out is as before,
commencing ten minutes before the hour, but
ten rehearsals, or one every minute and that
for every fifty miles run by the ship, two re-
hearsals of two minutes each, and then two
of one minute each, and then two more of
two minutes each. am often in the instru
ment-room, and watch the signals. Two
clerks watch, one the rehecting galvanometer,
and the other the chronometer, each calling
out time and over respectively, and you gen
orally hear the two words come from them at
the same instant. The signals are unmistak
ably clear, with a slight oscillation at each
end and it is most curious and interesting
to watch these oscillations. and know that
you are thereby watching and noting every
roll of the big ship, which is at this moment
upward of FIVE hundred miles distant

Richmond papers contain few items Of
interest: &
meeting was held on Saturday night in
Richmond, at which Gov. Harris and others
delivered addresses.
The members Of the Richmond press held
a meeting on Saturday, to arrange for the
reception of President johnson, who is ex-
pected soon to arrive in that city.
All the railroads of the State are going
ahead at full speed, aud every effort is being
put forth, not only to restore them to their
former condition, but to improve them in
various ways.

continues to pour into the city, and finds a
ready market. Besides the wagons with
which the streets are every day filled, every
train on the Southern roads comes in heavily

The Savannah Herald Of the 18th states
that gale occurred there, lightning striking
in one or two places, rain flooding the streets,
&c. The Stoddard block, on the North side
of Bay street, seems to have been in the track
of the heaviest part of the gale. A large por.
| ton Of the roofing, with the rafters and spout
ing of the northeast gable Of the building,
with considerable portion Of the cornice,
was blown off and carried to the opposite
side of Bay street, at the corner of Drayton
street. Throughout the city the shade trees,
fences, &c, were damaged more or less.
Many trees were blown down, and the streets,
after the storm, were strewn with fallen
limbs.
Trade at Savannah was improving. Com
munication with the interior is being rapidly
restored, and produce is coming down the

which impedes navigation.

Mr.. II. H. Gillett. one of the counsel for
JEFF. Davis, in note to the Albany Argus,
says Mr.. Davis has no more information con-
corning his trial than others have. In a let
ter from Mr.. Davis, dated the 9TH inst, to
Mr.. Gillett, he says: 81 am still ignorant 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 Indictment
Mr.. Davis requests Mr.. Gilleit to have a
conference with Mr.. Charles O'Connor. his
only other counsel, so that he may be pre-
pared for the trial whenever it may be brought
on, with as little delay as the nature and i'm
portance of the case will permit. A direct
application to the proper department, asking
to be informed, if not improper, when, where
and before what tribunal Mr.. Davis is to be
tried, remains unanswered, because, as is
supposed, neither has been actually deter
mined by the President.

The Chronicle of this morning says: From
an official who has just returned from brief
trip through some of the Southern States,
where he went on official business, we have
full confirmation of the reports which have
recently come from those localities, of the
utter destitution of the South, and of THE de-
sire of the people at large to submit cheerful
ly.to the Government of the United States
The Chronicle adds From all accounts it
appears that if fair expression of public
opinion can be obtained at the election in
the South, there win be little difficulty in the
work of recognizing.

GRAPES A writer in the New York Tri-
bunc who has travelled extensively in the
Western States says that the grapes are rot
ting in Ohio by the ton. The Catawbas and
Isabelas mostly are gone, and the Concords
are also suffering badly. He mentions one
case of a vineyard nine miles from Cleveland,
which yielded last year from an acre and a
half of land seven and half tons of grapes,
which sold for 81, 1886
We hear complaints of grapes mildewing
badly in this vicinity this season. Some par
ties who generally raise large amount, will
this year have but very few, owing to the
blight.
