D Alli Y NEWS. _ERIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 8, 1865. TH^> CABLE-BR. RUSSELL'S STORY. Lord Cranston's goblin pago, according to the Xay ui the Last Minstrel, ran about crying "lost, lost, lost." Thc historiographers of tho ill-fated Atlantic cable arc given to uko melancholy utter? ances, vet o? the goblin lived long enough to change" hie refrain into "found, found, found," so ft -wc trust that thc luckless wire winch is now lying, ' we forget how many fathoms deep in its watery bcd, wrtl ere long be enabled to indulge in a like chnngo of tune : "found, found, found.'' Dr. Russell's official account of Hie Great East --.ern's voyage, and the abortive attempt to lay the cable, has found its way into thc journals-but thc public interest in it has been iii great measure an . ticipatcd by the record ol results previously pub? lished. The Doctor, however, branga his clever pen into play, and he tells tho whole story with tho vividness of a real artist, who knows how to -invest even the driest scientific technicalities with a melo-dramatic attractiveness that is certain to arrest thc public attention. Tako for example his description of thc snapping of the cable, and its disappearance from mortal eye in the waves of the Atlantic: "It is not possible-' for any words to portray the dismay with which the sight was witnessed and the news heard. It was enough to move to tears ! And when a man came aft with a piece of the inner end lashed still to the chain, and one saw the tortured strands-torn wires-tho lacerated core-it is no exaggeration to say that a strange feeling of pity, as though for some sentient creature, mutilated and dragged asunder by brutal force, passed through the hearts ol'the spectators. But ol'what use sentimental abstraction, when instant, stren? uous action was demanded ? Alas ! action ! There around lay thc placid Atlantic, smiling in tho sun, and not a dimple to show where lay so many hopes buried (if cables be a?men) till the sea gives up_ her dead. Rut there was no blank dcspaii, and if any felt it thev suppressed the expression of it, whilst by far* the greatest number of thoso on board were actually animated, not by the loss it? self, but by the accidental nature of the occurrence and felt greater confidence than eyer in the layin:' of the cable. Confidence, under these disheartening circum? stances, it seems to us, was heroism itself, and this heroism was not of the abstract, sentimental kind, for straightway "After a brief consideration, Mr. Canning, whose presence of mind and self-possession never left him, decided (all but egregious folly it seemed) to ?eek for the cable in the bottom of the Atlantic to get out the grapnels and drop down to it and pick it up again. Never hau alchemist less chance of finding gold buttons in the dross from which he was seeking annan polab'tlc, or Philoso? pher's stone. But, then, what would they say in England if not even an attempt, however desper- i atc, had been made? There were men on hoard j i who had picked up cables from tho Mediterranean full 1400 fathoms down. The weather was bcauti- j fol, and if even there wore no soundings, and the depth beneath us was matter of confidence, it was ' settled at last that the Great Eastern should steam ten or twelve miles to windward, eastward of the Sosition in which she was when the cable went own-out with the grapnels ar.d wire rope, and ' ?L ift down across the course of the track in which the cable was supposed to be lying. Although all utterance of hope was suppressed, and no word , ?ff confidence escaped the lips, thc mocking shad- j ' "fews ol' both were treasured "in scmo quiet Book of , the fancy. The doctrine of e-?ancC could not ' touch such a contingency as we had to speculate upon. And now they caine forth-the grapnels, two five-armed anchors, with linkes sharply curv? ed, and tapering to an oblique toothlike end-the hooks with which the Giant* Despair was going to 1 fish from thc Great Eastern for a take worth, with 1 all its belongings, inure than a million." ^ < But it was cull, drowsy work, and. after all, , lhere seems lo have been" but little real heart in ?, it. for Hie Doctor goes on to say : "At first the iron sank but slowly, but soon the ?1 momentum of descent increased, *o as to lay groat ? I stress on the picking-up machinery, which was ' i rendered available to lowering the novel messen-1, ger, willi warrant of search for the fugitive hid- ?, den in mysterious caverns beneath. Length fie**' after length, over cog-wheel and drum, till tho ? 1 iron, warming willi work, heated at last so as to ' ' convert the water thrown upon the machinery into ; clouds of steam. Thc time passed hea vily indeed ! i Ail life had (bed out in the vessel, and no noise , was hoard except the dull grating of thc wire ca? ble over the wheels at the bow. The most apa- 1 thctic and indifferent would have sacrificed much ' to have heard the rumble of the cable again, and j 1 have thought and esteemed it thc most grateful , : music in the world. The electrician's room was j i dosed-ail their subtle apparatus stood function- i * less, and cell, zinc and copper threw ofl'supcrbons | " currents in the darkened chamber. The jockeys ?1 had run their race and reposed in their h on sad? dles-the drums beat no more--heir long reveille ? was ended at last in the mumed roll of death-that I ; which had been broken could give no trouble to j J brake?, md man shunned the region where all these mute witnesses were testifying to the vanity of haman wishes. Away fiew the wire strands, length after length; ocean was indscd insatiable '.more" and "more," cried the daughter of horse leech from the black night of waters, and still the rope descended. One thousand fathoms, fifteen hundred fathoms, two thousand fathoms, hun? dreds again mounting np, till at last at 5.6 P. M. ' the strain was diminished, and at 2500 fathoms or . 15,000 feet the grapnel reached the bcd of the At? lantic, and set to its task of finding and holding thc cable. Where that lay was <>f course beyond . haman knowledge, but as the ship drifted down across its course, there was just a sort of kead bhaking surmise that thc grapnel might catch ; it-that the ship might feel it-that the :ron rope might be brought up again, and thc cable across it might-here was the most hazardous hitch of all-might come up without breaking. But 2500 fathoms! Alas! and so in thc darkness of the night-not more gloomy than her errand-the Great Eastorn having 'cleared away one of the great buoys and got it over her bows, was left as a ' ?port to the wind and drifted at thc rate of seventy 1 feet a minute down upon the imaginary fine beneath which the cable had sunk to useless rest." < Nevertheless, as the reader already knowB, the cable was really "clutched," once, twice, thrice bat the "clutch" did not hold-the strain was too great-and so the great ship had to give it up an.i t return to England, with Mr. Field and all thc staff, i Dr. Russell adding, "much strengthened bv the j conviction that but for thc faults in the cable the Old World and the New World would have been ere this united by thc Atlantic Telegraph, and ani- ' mated by thc firmest belief in ultimate success.'' i Thc "faults" alluded to, it is insinuated, were the doings of some malicious employee-but the in- ] sinuation does not seem to bc supported by any ?coloring of facts. THE ERA OF GERAT FKAUPH.-At no time within ?or recollection has there been such a succession of great frauds as during the past three or four months. Following each other so rapidly that their extent and audacity have severely shaken the public sense of security, the wonder is that no .serious financial revolution has followed in their wake.

But Wall-street is so drunk with greed ?nd gambling that it ruffles thc thark surface and then passes into oblivion. Nor is this to be won? dered at. The class which, in the hour of our deadliest peril, could play at foot-ball with the na? tional credit and the national honor, aro more apt to sympathize and condole with these detected ?coundreh than to institute a reform of this high? ly disgraceful state of things among themselves.

Since tho commencement o?' the summ ir excur? sion season wo have hed a great many strangers among us in this city, particularly from tho States and our 6i.iter provinces. Ali the butf-lo Lave been and are still nllcd up with braiders, transient anti permanent, and it nr.s not nnfrocmontlv o.;cnrrcd that our accommoda ?inns have been msnfllcicnt for the unprecedented rush of visitors. St. Law? rence Hall and the Doncgana Hotel are nov- flited to their utmost capacity. Among thc recent arrivals hero were the three children, mother-in-law and servant of Jem Davis. Tliey put up at thc Doncgana Hotel, and cansctl quito a little excitement during their sta v. Your readers arc already iainiliar willi tho personnel of thc family, thc age of etch, and their peculiarities. I shall not, therefore, attempt to describe thom but merely relato a few little incidents during their residence at the Docegana. lt was their custom to cat at the public table along with thc other guests of the establishment. Tho little boy, about nine years old, was very talk? ative and noisy. On a nm all scale lie kicked np as much noise ami fuss at the Doncgana as his pa? ternal relative did on a large soalo during thc re? bellion. At meale he was constantlv gabbing in a loud voice, and ?nd?ig fault with everything placed before him on the table, and with the ser? vants. Withai be is a lad of much spirit and ori? ginality of thought and expression. "I say, nigger," said he one day to ono of tho colored servants, "I wish you would bring me soa^e custard.'' The custard, in considerable quantity, was brought and placed before him. "Is that thc way you bring custard in this coun? try V asked the boy. .'Yes." answered thc servant; "you can help yourself to as much or as litt In as you choose." "I don't like it that way. In my country we al? ways get it in nice little cups,'' saul Master Davis. "Herc, nigger." (To the scrvaui.) Servant-"I don't think you'll lind such a word as nigger in the English dictionary." Master Davis-"Ob, indeed! Why, I suppose I shall have to have a dictionary with* me hereafter when I want to converse with colored people in Canada." ' ? On another occasion a young lady stopping at thc hotel asked Master Davis if ho would give her one of his buttons. After looking at her attentively for a while, he said: Master Davis-"Arc you a Southerner?" Lady-"No." Master Davis-".Are you a Canadian ?"' Lady-"No." Master Davis-"Perhaps, then, you're a Yan? kee ?" Lady-"No, not a Yankee, either." Master Davis-"I would not give one of my but? tons to a Yankee for thc world. But if you were a Southerner I would give you one. Those arc the buttons I wore when 1 was a Colonel in tho army-the rebel army-mind that-not the Yankee trmy." Lady-"I would cot mind kissing you if you javc me one of your buttons." Master Davis-"Oh! I would not kiss a Yankee ivoman; no, not for all the world." Lady-"But I'm not a Yankee." Master Davis-"I'm afraid you aro." Lady-"You won't give mc a button, then?" I Master Davis-"No." Jeff. Davis Ls now reported to submit gracefully :o his discomforts. He would probably bu&r a irial civilly. THE CHARLESTON MARKET.

Thc ravages of the crmy worm prevented us from realizing the benefit from mw outlay for the Lime in full, still thc large number of Tartly grown boils and forms gave Mme idea of what the crop would have been could they have matured.

My neighbors, who are acquainted with the land, were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better cot? ton, and a larger amount, than on my good laud; less work was needed m making the cotton than on my other - land. Not a particle, of cwt was to be seen where I applied your Superphosphate, while tho rust prevailed over every other portion ol' the crop.

The Salud? bottoms are proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton. COTTON. COLUMBIA, R. C., October 18,1853. Mr. J. J. MATES--IVar Sir: In reply to yours of thc 1st inst., I cheei-fully statu: I have used Mspes' Nitro genized SnperpLospliate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, and mu perfectly satisfied with it* yield. I can recommend it to my neighbors with confidence, aa a pure and effective manure, and would give it the - preference to any oilier in thc market. Yours, respectfully, TAOS. DAVIS. Mr. Charles W. Mixon, of Edcnton, Chowan County, N. C.. writes to Mr. Bockover: In regard to Mails' Phosphate lt worked admirably for me, the product being fully equal if not superior to? both the manures before mentioned. It did not start the young plant as early as either the other manures; but lt ? seemed to retain its color and pods much better, ami rio symptom of nut was ever seen where it was applied-alf. the land I planted in cotton being about the same quality and strength. CHARLES Vi. MIXON. Extract from a lotter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Derzelia, near Augusto, Ga.. August, 18G0: J. ,T. MAP?-?Jrar Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has been,, and is now. superior in its effects, where I have applied lt on my cotton, to either lot-mauuro or cotton need; and,.' as compared to '.he laud without manure in the same field (in my opinion the only true way to test it), it is as tour to one in the number of grown bolls, and as ten to ono in the young fruit and forms, in favor of the Superphos? phate. This opinion is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There is one result ? from Its application, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, it doc? seem to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton plaut, namely, the runt. I have applied it to land that Invariably rusts cotton, and there is as yet not a sign of rust in it, while the same kind of land just adjoining is completely ruined by it already. This experiment confirms that made by Mr. Lomas, of S. C., last year; and I ara fully persuaded that any plant manured with it does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that hay come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plants, that have kept green, during the terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nu tm eg melons are as green* and blooming a* beautifully as in spring. I have written this as the result ol ray Judgment from close observation. When I shall have gathered my crops' lt will give mc pleasure to give you the result from actual weight a*id measure. Yours. GIDEON DOWSE Extract from Weekly Day-Hook: NEW YORK, October 20, 1859. "We have, (S the course of au extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior value of Napes' Nitre genized Superphosphate of Lime upon the cotton fields of the South, where Peruvian tinaco had. been used w ith partial success. The bollt have been header, and of greater number, the yield of cotton /u r acre nae be eu larger, and what is also of the greatest consequence, no nut is (h'seotrm/ in cotton fields where thia article im applied, to which may bc added its peculiar lasting power nf fertilization, und its comparative cheapness. These* tacto bave- come to us in correspondence from parties who have used othtr like agents, and who give this by Jar the highest praise. "We have arrived nt the conclusion, aftc-r considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re? sults of the trials of others, tbut Mopes' FerrtUier has More of the property needed ia a general manure, in horticul? ture and agriculture, than any thing else of the kind we aro acquainted with." Enr.EFiELn. S. C.. October 10, 1660. ,T. J. MAPFS. Esq., New York-Dear Sir: I bought four tons or your Superphosphate of Lime tor my cotton, crop, also some guano, and have tried them side by side on the same quality ol' land. AW a parti?'-: of rust waa to? be seen where your Superphosphate was used: and I also applied stable manure on a portion of my land. The* cotton had the rust when the latter was tued. The yield of eottou was splendid rl/n the Superphosphate wa? used, despite the extraordinary dry year. When I applied the other manure the yield was not good. I applied the Superphosphate at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and believe it would have paid bettes if I had put more per acre. * I sold my cotton In Hamburg yesterday at !?'c. per pound over the usual market price. The hut was consid? ered very strung and heavy. I consider yours a reliable manure. Yours, truly. JAMES M. LANHAM.
