New YORK, August 1.-TO all Agents
personal For present, and until we learn
all the peculiar traits of TIE cable, so as to
fix upon Just basis for the burdens it i'm
ports, the rule will be to asses the expenses
upon the papers publishing the news. At
meeting Of our association to-day it was or
dered that all European news by telegraph,
where addressed to the Association Agent
or to individual editors, should be delivered
directly from the telegraph Office to the
Gen raj Agent Of the Associated Press, to be
treated as news Of the association. This
viii probably put an end to growing evil
here, and l hope it will be appreciated and
enforced among other local associations.

SAD AND DIsTREssING.-Our citizens were
again shocked last evening with the an
nouncement that two more persons had been
drowned while bathing in the river. About
5 o'c lock DIR. YANDELL's little son, Of Louis
Vile, KY, about ten years Of age, and Gen.
MANEY's son, of the same age, went into the
river bathing, opposite the steamboat land
ing. After they had been in some time they
ventured out into the stream where the water
was too deep for them, which was observed
by JAMES A. PORTER, son of ALEX. PoR-
TER, who lives some two miles beyond Edge
field. He Immediately Invested himself of
his clothing and went to their rescue. He
succeeded in taking Gen. Ms son to the shore,
but ir attempting to secure DR.. YANDELL's
son, the little fellow chung to him with such
a grasp that he became confused and they
both went down together and were drowned.
Thus young PORTER, in the noble effort to
save another's life, lost his own. A nobler
character is unknown. He was youth of
some seventeen years of age, of fine promise
and had Just returned from college. DIR.
YANDELL's son was on visit to General
MANEY's son, in Edgefeid. He was favor
ite-child. Both bodies were recovered in a
short time after they were drowned.

from Gov. Brown, of Georgia, is printed in
tie World:
ATLANTA GA, July %, 1666.-DEAR SIR:
l am satisfied it would be better for all who
have occupied the position l uid to remain
at home for the present and send others who
have been regarded more conservative and
better Union men, This l think would be
more acceptable to the people of the South,
and therefore the best policy. l feel con-
scious that l and others who have occupied
prominent positions are now astrivial to the
Government as any other citizens, but this is
not the general opinion North. Entertain
ing these views, 1 shall not consent to be a
delegate, but l shall heartily support the
movement and the delegates appointed.
As ever, your friend,
