Since Balboa thai a tared at, the silent expanse of ?tho Pacific from a mountain peak in Daricn, and carricil back to the civilized world an account of its existence, no circumstance in tho history of that ocean ha? occurred at all cominoiiBurutu in importance with tho laying of the submarine cabio under it, to connect, though not perhaiis-for the 11 rut time, the continents of America and Asia. . Tliia last link of those fetters with which the intel ligence and energy of man has enabled him to cir cle the entire globe around, will be completed within a n?)w comparatively brief period of time. On the 12th ult. the barque Golden Ilulo, tho Uag Bhjp of the ItuiiHJan Telegraph expedition, and the nteamer G. S. Wright, with Col. Buckley, com mander of the expedition, his staff, and a number of employees, sailed for the Gulf of Anadir and the ahorca <>f Bchring's Straits. It is not proposed to aubroerge tbe cable at the Straits, because a strong current exists there which runs from south to north into tho rolar Sea, nn?l this might endanger the safety of the wire. The G"lf of Anadir lias accordingly been selected for this purpose, and the expedition will proceed at once to the preliminary work of sounding the Gulf, and afterwards of lay ing down the submarine portion of tbe cabio. Commencing at New Westminster, a town in British America, just iiorth of tbe United States boundary Une, and lying on the banks of Fruer'l River, the telegraph Une will exten.l nortkweat \ ward along the Pacific coast to the Russian pos sessions, which begin at Simpson River, and thence, by way of New Archangel, to Norton's Sound, which is opposite the Gulf of Ao&tlir, and is situated in about the sixty-fifth degree of north latitude. It will thence be c?>ndiu:ted to Behring'? Island, which lies midway between Norton's Sound and the Gulf of Anadir, and is the place where the intrepid Beiiiii.vh was wrecked, und where he died. From thence it will reach the continent .of Asia, spanning the sen at a point where it is only four hunched miles wide, by two submersions of less than two hundred miles each. Thence coasting tbe eastward shore of Asia, southward to a warm er zone', crosbing the sea of Okhotsk to the mouth of the Amoor l?iver, the Une will make its way through the Russian possessions in Asia, across tho entire continent, a distance of over four thou sand miles, to connect with the Russian system of telegraph posts which conduct to St. Petersburg in Europe. It will thus be Becure from the inter ruptions which might occur were it to pass through the possessions of any of Jhe semi-barbaric nations which populate the southern portion of Asia. What ver may be the ultimate fate of the Atlan tic cable, there can be no doubt oi the vast ut?ity and importance of this overland enterprise. Not only will inetantaneoas communication, which al ready existe from here to the Pacific, be continued to within a comparatively short distance of tbe Ja pan Islands, but that great desideratum of the commercial world, telegraphic communication be tween Europe and America, wiU be secured beyond poradventurc. Storms may rack the shore end?. of the Atlantic cable, ships anchors may pull it up, kinks may untwint it, iti electrical condition may be impaired beyond remedy, or its continuity de ?troyed by some unforeseen obstacle. No matter: the land line across Asia will remain, and to the working of this, as experience has proved, no more irreparable interruptions can happen than every day befall those lines which are in constant use all over tho whole civilized world. It should be a source of no genuine regret that neither of those greai enterprises can ever be wholly Americau, nincc neither the sea to tho eastward nor the land to tbe westward form a por tion of the empire of tbe United States. Let it suffice for our national glory that the inccpt?>rs and practical engineers of both lines are Ameri cana, that tho mode of working them wos an American invention, nay, even that the identity of lightning and electricity, that great discovery which was the necessary precursor of electric tele graphy, was the conception of an American mind. The results of our free int>titution8, of our system of common school education, of that restless de nire for discovery, and of that quick intuition which accepts innovation where innovation is beneficial?aU of which are peculiarly Ameri can?are illustrated in those great enterprises, in a wt.y which cannot but be sufficiently gratifying to our national pride. To a people accustomed as wc are to the use of the telegraph wire, it is scarcely necessary to point out the immense advantages of this line of com munication with Europe. To embrace all its won drous result? within a single phase, it will be as though the entire civilized world were removed en masse to our doors, and aB though wc were re moved to theirs. Cargoes will no longer be shipped to .losing markets', crops which, when raised, bear no profit), will no longer be grown; manufactures, doomed to moulder away on shop-shelves, will no . longer be wrought, or, if wrought and unsaleable, will quickly learn their way to more profitable mart?; merchant? w?l require no longer tobemil 1 lionaires, nor will commercial prescience be de manded for a period long enough to em brace two voyages, for it will be narrowed down to one. For ' -., instance, if /ho. Tri?eta..corre?nondcnt qf-a New , ; .Yclrk house atjvi?ei? tl?fc; latter ?hat flour Li In de , jco&nU et.tbe former plac?, and repommends a car-: ? ?ff to.be1 shipped there, it now taken, ?tin with tho ?id of.the telegraph in Europe, two weeks for the intelUgcnoc to reach ite destination. -If.a ship in .then dispatched to Trieste with tbe flour ?o dc ?.. mAndoil, twn months more are cooeuroed en the voyage, and the vessel arrives at Trieste ten week* altor t*.!<; advices wero first sent. Tht! market Pur Dour, meantime, may have: eon- { oMorably fallen, and the shipment may have to bo wold ?it a loss. Tea week? of commercial fore thought, and the pecuniary ability to sustain it* consequences, bo thoy whut they may, arc tints required, and (his involves bo nmeh experience, und ho much capital, that the larger operations of commerce arc virtually monopolized by a compar atively small class of poisons. Telegraphic com munication with Europe would narrow tho time down to two months, and probably by thus lesson ing tho risk of bad adventure would enable the shipper to afford tho employment of steam ves sels, which again would reduce it down to three weeks. Tho market chances of three weeks ahead would only, therefore, have to be considered, and tho doss of porsons who possess intelligence and experience enough to calculate such chances with a fair degreo of certainty, and who can command capital enough to await tho result of a three week's adventure, being so much larger than the class who now have almost entire control of the great commercial avenues of the world, commerce will lind its way into not only moro numerous but more entorprising hands. Tbo results of this important change readily suggest themselves. Instead of being monopo lized, aH it necessarily is now, by a few of the largest capitalists who, being personally unable to superintend their own vast operations, have to em ploy others, the expense of whoso services and the risk they cause to their principals, have to be borne by tho consumers of the products shipped by them, 00 mm orco will thenceforth be conducted by men of j smaller means, and men who can devote their per sonal superintendence to the business. Instead of revolving around the little islands which form the British Empire because capital accumulated in few hands there, it will be conducted by American merchants, whoso individual capitals, though smaller than those of their British cousins, are largely compensated for by their individual enter prise nnd intelligence. Instead of being the hoir ! loom of a few rich families in Europe, it will be; within tho reach of all those millions who now are driven for want of the necessary capital to the hard work and drudgery of the world. It will throw open the trade of Europe almost as much to com mon competition as ?h now the; trade of the United States, where a man may commence business as a merchant with scarcely any capital at all. In a word, it will be as though the entire civilizei world were removed en masse to our very doors, and as though we were removed to theirs. With Asia it will be the same. The trade of Japan, than which nothing more lucrative can bo insta need, nnd tho vast commerco which enlcr j prit'; nnd capital will open with China, must find j its way into our hand? through the great port of San Francisco. And branching collaterally from the route of the telegraph wire to all parts of in terior Asia, the time would appear to he not far distant when the great currents of trade instead of converging in Europe, will revolve in an area, of which the State of California will form the centre. To promote the success of this great enterprise by every means in our power, and to facilitate the accomplishment of the grand changes which it is destined to produce in commercial and social af fairs, should now be a paramount object to all Americans. Wo should Mover forget our mission as a nation?that of not only affording a sanctu ary to the oppressed, but a free field of competi tion to the industrious?and every enterprise whose direct or collateral effects point to thoae noble ends, should secure the unqualified approval end encouragement of our people. -? ? From Alabama. New YonK, July 30.?Tho Herald's Hnntsville, Aln., correspondent, giving a sketch of the con dition of tho country and the present political feel ing there, presents a picture no way flattering to the loyalty or rather disloyalty of such of the peo ple of that State as took part in tho rebellion at first. On finding that all was over with thoir South ern Confederacy they felt themselves completely humiliated and subjugated, and wore loud in their calls on the National Government and officer? for mere}', but magnanimous treatment appears to have spoiled thorn, and they are again necoming as overbearing and as imperious in their demands as ever. Now, instead of being contented with their privilege?, they haughtily claim their rights. Their hatred of the National Government is still as intense as ever, and they are determined to con trol their State in the old secession and rebel in terest. Their new Governor, Mr. Parsons, only about a week before his appointment, in a Bpeecli at Huntsvillc, contended that the negroes aro not free, as the Emancipation Proclamation was only a military measure, und the constitutional amend ment had not been ratified by tho necessary num ber of States, and, in his opinion, wotdd not be. These sentiments were received with immense ap plause by the poople. 'I he foregoing is a fair sample of what is gene rally written by Northern correspondents from the 8onth. The credibility of this witness, upon tho fact of tho disposition of our people toward the Generul Government, may well bo questioned, when a falsehood bo manifest is perpetrated in tho same connection on Governor Parsons. It is pre posterous that Governor Parsons should havo taken any such position as that alleged in his Hnntsville speech, in the. face of the recorded fact that he announced the freedom of the slaves in his proclamation, on entering upon tho duties of his office?a position he has uniformly taken in his speeches and conversations in South Alabama, whore the slaveholding interest was much larger, and, us might reasonably bo supposed, had more influence than in North Alabama. We say, therefore, that this portion of tho corres pondent's statement being so manifestly false, is a good reason why the whole story should be dis carded as unworthy of belief. It is our misfor : tune, however, in the present stato of affairs, to be misrepresented and misunderstood by those with whom it is our wish to live on terms of equality and amity. Unfortunately for us, North ern newspapers circulate largely among Northern people, and, being far away from us, naturally havo a tendency to reflect tho views of those who know least about ua or our affairs. But we will not despair yet of having our position end claims fairly presented to the gicat popular tribunals of ! the North. There aro somo able presaos in that section devoted to tho dissemination of truth, and as our railroad lines shall be re-established, eo as to admit of more general intercourse North and South, a more enlightened, liberal and magnani mous spirit may bo expected to pervade the land. For the present let us be content to do our duty, and suffer with manly patience and fortitude tho injustice .being done us by thoae for whoBo mnliee, cupidity or ignorance, wo are not roeponaible. Montgomery Advertiser, l$th. ...... Soiitii Carolina Society? Wc continue,-froin our issue ?>f yi'sterday, short history of this Association, taken from their publi cation: On the 24th of July, 1S04, the Society held th< first meeting uml-r their own roof?the hull hi j Meeting, between Bread and Tradd-strcets. This removal, with th?- extension of the School, induced them to revise their rules, which were confirmed on the r>th December, 1800, and pnbtudicd as the seventli edition. In December, 1811 public selunds were estab lished by the Legislature of South Carolina, to which every citizen of the State is entitled to send his children, free of expense. This philanthropie system rendered it no longer necessary for the South-Carolina Society to continue their free school, on which they bail annually expended mor? than ?20U0. It was therefore revolved, on the 15th of November, 1825? that their free selio?;! should cease to exist on their ensuing anniversary",]!! March, 1820. As this school bail been founded with the immediate design of educating the children of in digont members, a committee was instruct?-?!, pur suant to this prominent feature in its original for mation, to digest u plan for the endowment of a male ami female academy, wherein should be ?^oni bined, with tbe usual stiidies of an English educa tion, the more extended advantages of classical literature. That the ehihlren of needy parents, or ?if widowed pensioners, should bo educated at the cost of the oharity; whilst those of contribu ting nienibei'Sj <iv who had been such at their d? cense, should be instructed at. the expense of their respective parents or guardiaiiB, but at reduced rates of tuition. "Whilst a system of by-laws on these prescribed outlines was maturing, it became a question whether the free selmol could be abol ished without an infringement of the chartert and whether, also, the charity fund could be applied to the exclusive and indiscriminate advantage ?if their corporate community. It was the concurrent opinion of the Attorney-General and the Solicitor of the Society, to whom these objections were sub mitted, that "there was no logal impediment to the discontinuance of the free si'hool; but that money could not bo drawn from the eleemosynary fund for the support of a school, other than for helpless orphans, or the issue of ?lestitute parents. The Society, thus legally advised, sought for an en largement of their charter, which they obtained on the 20th December. 1820, whereby tlicy are em powered to erect such seminaries of learning as they kali see tit, and to appropriate for their sup port any moneys which rfciy thereafter accrue, or I become vested in them, unless otherwise restrained under special donation. A male and female acade my were accorduigly instituted, ami the annual sum of ?no thousand five hundred dollars appro ; printed in ai?l of their means. A further sum ' might, on any emergent requisition, ho assigned | for their UHv;'jii'oeidcd, tho additional appropria tion ?lid not oxcocd ?me thousand dollars in any one year. The acad?mies were opened in the S?J eiety's hall on the 2d of July, 1827, when an imui gnral address was delivered by William (?. Read, principal of the male academy, to a numerous, and liighlv respectable audience. On"tbe 2d of October, 1827, tho capital of the South-Carolina Soiicty (including with the evidence of debt, tbe value of their lamb? and improve ments) amouutvd to one hundred and fifty-six thousand ?me hundred and thirty-three dollars and ninety-five cents. With the nieonie arising i from thefr productive capital, together with tin arrearages and n?lmissi?>ii of members, they shol ' tore?! the houseless, fed the hungry, clothed the | naked, and gratuitously bestowed oil the ehihlren j of their impoverished members an education adapted to their destined occupations and pur suits, whether they were tojbe manual or intellec tual. | Tho two acatlcmies wmnUm opened with very flattering prospects, and >*3(th a number of schol ars in each, fully e?pialto the expectations of their projectors and patrons. During thirteen or four teen yoaiB of their continuance, the Society were gratified to see the ehihlren of their unfortunate members sitting side by side with their own chil dren, and receiving the same instruction from the same instructors, without the smallest feeUng of obligation or inequality in the breasts of any of the parties. Although these were free schools to some,, they rcaUy were Society schools to all; and as many in timacies and attachments were formed between tlie children of the necessitous and of those who were not such, as hatl previously existed between their parent?, while iu social intercourse, they contributed alike to the same fund, for diffusing education and charity. Fr?>m the concurrence ?if various causes, these academies, after some years, decline?! in tho number of scholars, and became expensive. By a vote of the Society, in December, 1839, the male academy was closed,"and tho female academy in March, 1841. But instruction to the children of unfortunate members was not discon tinued with these schools. The nialoB were all educated at the High School of the city, and tho females, with the approbation of their mothers, in some of the most respectablo schools in tho State?both being under the care of the Committee of Charity. In November, 1842, there were twelve girls and seven boys educated by the Society, at a cost of seven hundred and sixty doUars per an num-, the number of families receiving aid, also, from the Society, was thirty-seven, ami the sum paid to them was seven thousand and forty dollars, which, with tho schooling, amounted to seven thousand eight hundred dollars, and this has in some years exceeded eight thousand dollars. Kuril? Woilt tor September. Turnips should bo sown during this month, at aU favorable seasons, and it would bo advisable to put in a large crop for stock feeding in winter. It is, generally, best to sow just before a rain, or when tho ground is dry?covering the seed lightly and pressing tho earth upon it with a roller or plank. YVe ftlmoBt invariably bow too much seed, and cover too deep; but whenever, from any cause, we fail to get a good and satisfactory "stand," the seedsman (or vendor, of seed) line to "suffer." It is not ne cessary to drop a continuous lise of turnip-seed in the drill, especially when tho more valuable varie ties aro bo rare and difficult to procure. Two or threo seeds, dropped every four (4) inches in the drill, will give you a good "stand," and save a great deal of seed and thinning ont. Cotton should be picked as fast as it rip ne, and carefully stored away for ginning. Every lock of lint should be saved now, as tho "great staple" must be scarce and dear for a long time to come; and it should bo the ambition of all planters to send their crops to market in the best possible condition. Choice and valuable variet;es of cotton seed must also bo selected and carefully saved, bo that wo may bo ready to go on successfully in the culture of this indispensable crop hereafter. ?Lot all who have superior Cotton seed, either Sea Isl and or Upland, advertise it widely, in time for tho next crop. Cow Peas must be gathered and stored away in a dry placo?giving particular attention to tho saving of choleo sorts for the next year's seed.

Grass, such as "Crowfoot," "Crab" (or "Crop"), etc., must be cut ?hen in full bloom, and cured with as little exposure to tho nun as possible.

[AVwn !>< ' C!ii:'!jo TiiifS, At'gust ".] Sfntiy years ag?i a young German couple ombnr?i- ! I'd from their native shores, in try their fortuites in the now world. An emigrant ship landed them in du<- lime in Xow York. Their destination was the West, and lliov cume to Chicago, where limy determined to s< tt?t?, and hopetl to lie- able t? earn ?i livelihood, besides laying something asido fi'".- the futur?-. They both applied l-hummdVos diligently, and. by dint of hard und drutlgmg toil, und the strictest economy, thoy managed lu lay up yearly ; a Hindi amount, so that in time they had together saved enough tu make Diem comparatively inde pendent. Tho years Hncccedod one another, und in the course of time, three children, two boys und j i a girl, were given theru to gladden their hearts und ! ! lighten their labors. When the girl, the youngest child, was a year old, the father sickened nnd died, leaving hin widow and children enough to enable Uiem to live | in ease; and comfort. Time passed on and Die babe grew up a beautiful, intelligent girl. The oldest ! Htrti had just reached man'a estate, and liad gone forth to gain his livelihood, when a second time the dread messenger crossed the threshold, und 1 the mother, whoso tender care and good oonnst'l had been lavished upon her children, was taken from them, and toe two youngest, not able as yet to tread life's stony road UUltidcd. were left without the aid of her advice aud admonitions. The dying mother committed tho two little ones to tbo care of it man whom she hud considered a good friend to her, as their guardian, with asolciuuinjunction, which he promised to obey, that he would core for them and bring them up* Hardly had the grave closed over the mother's form before the poor orphans were made to feel what Kort of a protector had been chosen for them. The little children, who, while their mother hud lived, had never ? known a cross word or a blow, where now daily and hourly made to feel Jhe cruelty of the mail I ! who had promised to care for thoin and raise them j i in kindness. The i oy was early sent off to earn '. iiis living as an apprentice to a tobacconist, while the e;irl wus not only obliged (o perform the most iiicninl drudgery, but oven subjected to abuse and ' punishment. At length the fiendish cruelty of the | man took a designing form. He thought of tin: ' property inherited by the children, and, longing to grasp it as his own, drove: the girl," his ward, from his uoor into tho street, not earing whither ghu | went or what became of her, provided she did not : return to claim the property which was bei' own. The little: outcast, thus turned upon the world, . sought the advice of a lady who nael known her parents in former years, and who obtained for her ! a position in a family as a child's attendant. The child, unaccustomed to duties of this character, proved but a poor assistant, ami she was obliged I to seek place after place. Thus mutters went on, j the:young girl serving many inistresstn in whatever ' capacity sue could make' herself useful, herself [ neglected, ofton sculdod, and rarely hearing a kind word addressed to her. So the" young orphan > gre:w up, until a short time ago, and now i:i her : fifteenth year, she was abruptly discharged from the situation she was holding, and turned upon ? the street. Her worldly effects were few, and gathering them hastily together into a bundle, j bIio went forth. Disconsolate. sorrowing, almost crazed by the thought that she had no place to which she could go, no kind friends on whom she cuultt loan fur support or protection, tho outcast wandered about the city, hardly knowing or caring whieher she went. ? The appearance of a young girl on tIio streets of ? this great city, with wan, pinched features, and garments of coarse, homely texture, is not such ! ail unusual 'sight us to attract the attention of any ; humanely-disposed passer-by. where all is bustle and confusion. Night closed over the unfortunate, ? who, weary and hungry, ^at down on the ajdawalk ; on Jackson-street, where the thought of her utter ; loneliness and destitu? ieui caused the tears to course freely down her checks. It was fast grow j ilia dark, when a couple of gaily-dressed young ? fellows happened along, and, attracted by the sobs : of the girl, questioned her as to the cause of her I grief. They urged her to go with them, where, ? they said, she could be made comfortable for the i night. The unsuspecting girl, not thinking auv thmg wrong, waB about to comply, when a lady who was passing, and heard the proposition which ; the men had made, stopped, and informed the girl j of her danger, at the same time offering her pro ! toetion until a home could be provided. Tho girl ? followed the lady home, ami there, for the first i time surrounded by those: who would sympathise with her, and who would not visit her with abuse, she unfolded tho eventful tale of her short life. j Her kind-hearted protector, convinced of the truth of her narrative, from the girl's artless a'nd straightforward manner, placed the matter in the I hands of the munngers of the Young Hen's Chris ) tian Association, ol th?B city, by whom it was care fidly investigated, and the facts of the girl's state ment substantiated. It was learned that the girl, whose name is Cor nelia Miltoiiberger ?k, conjointly with her brother, tbo owner of two houses in this city, which to f ether realize a sum yearly amply t-uflleient for he support of both brother and sister, besides which they are entitled to about f5000, which was willed to them by their mother. Her guardian lives on Michigan avenue, and is in circumstances which should have placed him fur above any action so low and baso as to defraud the poor orphan of her pittance. Ho lias been summoned to account for tnd disposition made bv him of the property of theso children. Meanwhile the girl is in good hands. She is at present remaining with a Kind lady in tho west division, who has offered her a filace with herself until a comfortable home shall lave been provided for. The girl is at liberty to choose a guardian for herself, and once more re stored to those comforts which have so long been denied her, it is hoped that her life will hereafter be happy.
