principal portion of the trade in foreign
fruit is confined to half dozen or more i'm

stand between the producer and the con
sumer. They receive the fruit and send it
off by car loads, or supply the poor peddler's
basket by the shilling's worth. A word of
caution to consumers may be said here. It
is never safe to buy fruit of the street-ped-
dlers. They are apt to lie around the docks
and pick from the refuse such fruit as is hut
slightly tainted or to purchase for nominal
price that which is ver9ing on decay, and by

An undetected fault in an insulated
wire has now become impossible. And
yet so improved are the signalling irl-
struments that it is now easy to work,
though a foot ofits coppers&be stripped
baresand laid at the bottonl of the sea-
This has been actually tested and ac-
.complished. 1t has even been propos-
ed now that after the first cable is laid,
and the second, that of l S65, raised from
the bottom of the ocean and spliced, the
old cable of 1853 should be also joined
atresh at both ends, when it is supposed
that it can now be used with the I'M
proved signals. ---4---.-. ..--
The Great Eastern has had every foot
of her bottom cleaned for the present
expedition, which will improve her
speed a mile an hour. Two feet thick
ness of barnacles were taken off from
parts of her bottom. She will, how
ever, only be allowed to make knots
an hour.
The eastern end of the cable was
landed at FalenGia on the 9th of June,
and the Great Eastern completed her
work on the American coast on the 2Sth
OF July, 80 days being employed III the

lists hold meetings, express sympathy with
Mr. Davis and demand their rights under
a Constitution which they strove for four
long years trample in the dnst and they
are not molested. The City of New Orleans
is under the control Of men who are very
hostile to the Unionists, and experience has
shown that the latter can expect at their
hands nothing but the bludgeon and the
bullet. The effect of this unfortunate con-
fict in New Orleans cannot fail to operate
most iujuriously throughout the Northern
States against the Southern people. 1t will
cause the innocent among us still to suffer
with the guilty. Whether justly or not, it
cannot fail to add greatly to the strength of
the so-called radicals in the elections soon to
be held. The blood of Union men has been
shed by red-handed traitors; and these same
traitors if they had supreme control in these
Southern States, would either Danish the
Union men to distant regions, or devote
them to the bullet, the bludgeon, and the

Extremes Meet.

Judge Ruffin asserts and maintains. in his
powers of the late State Convention, that
that body had no power to bind the people
of this State and that the President, in con-
stituting and calling it, was guilty of '' an
act of clear and desDotic usurpation'
The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens. the great
leader of the radicals. holds the same views
He told the writer of this. when in Wash

tion under the President was usurpation,
and that it would not be allowed to stand
Judge Ruffin anil Mr.. Stevens are there

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
WASHINGTON, D. c., July q, 1866.
To the President:
Having heretofore informed you of my
readiness to withdraw from the Cabinet when

venience to name my successor, and in pursu-
ance of an understanding arrived at in a recent
interview, 1 hereby tender my resignation of
the Office of Secretary of the Interior, to
take effect on the first day of September

In thus severing my official connection
with your Administration, would do in
justice to my own feelings were not to pres

tesy and kindness shown me by you during
my term of service.
Praying that the Supreme Ruler of nations
may bless you with health and vigor to
endure the arduous labors incident to your
high position, and wisdom TO carry into
effect such wise measures of policy as Con-
gresS may devise to secure domestic peace
and national unity, have the honor to be,
with great respect, your ohedient servant,

Work for the Philadelphia Convention

w Ork Tor the fh1I00elphla convention.
At meeting held in Fairfield District,
South Carolina, to send delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention, the following
.mong other resolutions was adopted:
"ResolCed, That we do not regard the
Hon. Jefferson Davis, the pure and patriotic
. President Of the late Confederate States, as
, guilty of any offence against the United
. States, and therefore his incarceration in the
prison of Fortress Monroe is in opposition
to every principle of humanity, at variance
with every precept of Christianity, and is
: blot upon the civilization of the age"
A most sinless, inoffensive, patriotic sort
of people are these South -Carolinians. They
have done nothing wrong They are all
right They patriots of the first water
and no mistake. They expect the govern
nlent to apologize to them for having sup
pressed the rebellion; and they do not intend
to return to the Union until committee
: headed by Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens, shall wait
: upon them and beg them to return on their
own terms.
Any man with hearing ears, who might
= travel through South Carolina about this
time, could hear secessionsm and treason sis
in the very atmosphere.
The Philadelphia Convention will please
take notice of the above resolution, and act
accordingly.

Portland Fire.

By authentic reports from Commissioners
appointed by law, we learn that the total
loss of property amounted to $4,000. 900

A number of companies have lost heavily,
several will not pay twenty cents on the dol

reports show that the 'Old Phenix'' of
Hartford only lost 37,s0O, and the Allan
tic, of Brooklyn, only $4,000. These noble
companies promptly paid their losses in 8
days after the fire, and we learn from Mr. P
F. Pescud, their agent, that their semi-annual

increased business and assets.

The Gee Trial.


The trial of the unfortunate Major GEE
will soon be brought to close, and the find
ing of the Court arrived at, as we learn from
the Raleigh Sentinel. ....
The impression of that journal Of the End
instant, contains cheerful expression Of con-
fidence in his aequittal, which is entirely au-
thorized by the nature of the testimony.
tits high time that the days of Military Com
missions in the land should be brought to an
end: And in this we but express the views of
every sober and discreet mind in the country
without regard to latitude.
Military Courts are governed by moral con-
victions, so called, and leap to their conclu-
sions without regard to that system of law
which ages have pronounced the best attaina-
BILE for the purposes of justice.
Disguised at its technical niceties, the SOL
dicr, as "a rule, when converted into a judge,
discards its principles, and looks in his scab-
bard for the statute which shall justify his
action, rather than the law books.
We trust, then, that the GEE trial will be
memorable as the last of these nquisitions
among us; and believe that it will possess the
further claim of remembrance derived from
acquittal of the accused. But, if not, why
then let us trust that some other prison.
houses, Sandusky, Johnsons Island, and
Point Look out, may become subjects of in-
quiry. The testimony in this case shows
very clearly that the men who were disposed
to criminate Major GEE, were Of the inferior
class of conscripts, who, awed at power, SEEM
ed ready to be converted into its ready tools.
1t also exhibits, in manner full of grim
meaning, the wretchedness of the resources of
the Confederate States.
For example, General BRADLEY JOHNSON
says in his evidence that the Junior Battal-
ion on guard duty were seen by him "cut-
ting wood by driving in railroad spikes" in
bitter weather, and tina the had to make de-
tail of cavalry to go through the country and

On the other hand, it is the duty of our
men of position, experience, influence, and
ability, to come forward when called upon,
as in the days when TAzEwEL. or a TAY-
LoR stood ready, in emergencies, to advance
the interests of this venerable town, even at
the sacrifice of their private interests or per-
sonal inclinations.
