GB??. WHEELER.-?The friends of ibis gen tleman will be pained to learn that he was assaulted in his room ata hotel iu Nashville, some days ago. A Nashville paper says: Gen. Wheeler, who is in this'eitv for the pur- I pose of giving evidence for the defence in the j trial of Champ Furguson, was Ivies in bed in bis roam, which was entered by Cd. Black burn and Capt. Quiun of the Uh Tennessee Mounted Infantry, who proceeded to give the ox-General a terrible carting. His cries at tracted parties to his .assistance, arid he. was rescued from bis infuriated castigators. Thc "cause assigned for this attack is said to bo that Gen. Whseler bad threatened to kill Col. B. ask bur i:, aud bad called ti im opprobri ous names. Wheela'r was so bsrily"beaton that medical assistance was required. The weapon nsed was a heavy washing stick, witH which Wheeler's head wa? terribly con fused. * Another account has it, that the two offi cers wero shown to Wheeler's room, when Colonel B. inquired if be addressed Genera! j Wheeler, wh" replied that he did. Colouel j B. then announced himself, when Wheeler extended hTs baud, but at once received a blow with a cang, whick was rapidly follow ed up, Wheeler retreating out of thc room, shouting murder, Captain Quirin following .up ti road with a pistol in each bane!.-Atlanta I'.tbllegencer.

We received the re buko and the information with a smile and rodo on, thinking what a blessod thing }t must he to be so spoken^of by one's neighbors. But tho pic-nic. . It was a. grand combination affair-Edgeficld and Newberry ; jnnd was hcd^d in tvo long and beautiful willow glen that skirts the Edgefiold bank- of the Saluda^-runuing off to thc right of the ferry. A glen so (green and cool and lovely that Oberon and TitaJJ?t, the king and queen of tho Fairies, in thnir moonlight revels, might find^i covert there. W^e arrived at twelve M. (severe! hoars later than wo .intended to ar rive,) and fmnd tho scene lively, animated and piettrresque. Tho hills on "either aide thc ferry were literally lined with vehiolot4f every stamp, and horses of erv f?rm and color. Innumera ble freedmen and freedwomca jranderod about among the purlieus of the glen, arrayed in gala coitumo, and grinning and chattering Uko mon keys. The flat was plying bujfUy between the two shores, ladon with ludicst gentlemen, children, carriages, buggies, and niggers. -Oh, the inevita ble and unavoidable nigger! Wjhilo undor. thc drooping boughs of tho willows; for a space of almost a half mile, were gathered together a thousand or twelve hundred happy and laughing human being?; some sitting in silence, and ga zing, soroo promenading, somo rushing about wildly without aim or object, some circumnaviga ting the banqueting" board, soma circumnaviga ting thc cooking pits, some gossiping, many flirting, many making lovo in earnest, and many, no doubt, backbi.-ing their 'nerida and neighbors We meas no offence ; for people evory where teilt backbite .their friends and neighbors: and often, wo mest confess, it ?3 very entertiiuing b.u-iness Among this thousand of human beings, wweyouug mon and maidens, middle-aged .and sober family people, and individuals old onoQgh tobe in second childhood. There woro scores and scores o? beautiful, and beantifnlly dressed, young girl?, with fresh glowing eomplexiens and eyes as beau tiful .S3 if tbry had lately looked upon Beaven.

The aforesaid sobai family poople were delightfully busy in doing thc honors to guests and strangers ; and most heartily did thoy porform their labors of hospitality-as we can well attest. But we must not make oui pic-nic tale toolong; in such acose, no ono will read it. The feast (that roost important feature in a pic-nic) was royally provided with creature comforts: nothing in tho shapo of barbecued moats was wanting, and evory thing was oookod and served up in the best style. And thc dessert, which was sproad in about an hour after tho bodj of tho feast, was a charmingly beautifal and do l.lieious after picco, la which pic* and pastry, cakes and confectionary, melons and fruit*-, nuts and raisins, played vory lively roles. The arrange ments were perfect, und in admirable tastn, ss the good order, quiot demcHnor, and dolightcd fuccj of thc assemblage fully attested.

Tho I'real Eastern, tho largest ship, in tho world left Valentia Bay, on the South West Coast of Ireland, about the 20lh cf July last, having on board the cabio, tho construction of which had occupied for years past the labors of thc most iciehtiGe men io Europe.' A large corps of these ? cime seien?, itiu men wore on board to superintend j the laying of Ihe cable. Tim monster steamship roached the distaneo of about one thousand .md sixty-two milos from Valentia without acci dent or interruption, tho cabio being successfully laid all tho way : but on the 2nd of August, ~h._ within hundred and eighty miles of Uourt's Content. St. Sam's BAV, Newfoundland, the ter minus on the American side, thc immense cable broke, sunk to the bottom ?if thc sea, and could not bc recovered. Tho hranking occurred at a ).oint, whr.ro Ibo water was between three and tour thousand yards dcr-p, in consequence of tho cyblo having'booomc injured by chafing on tho .-tern of thu ship wkilb hauling a poriion of it on board to femr/vo a defect in the insulation which -1-.?? ? .J. ? had hean discovered. After losing itj.it.was grap pled three times, being on ono of tho occasions, brought to within twelve hundrod yards of the water's surfuoe; but thc trcinondons weight was too much for the grappling rope, which each time broke and dropped the'cable. The last at tempt to misc it was made ?on the ll th of the prcBont mouth, when, not meeting with Success, a buoy was pUoed over the spot whero it. was lost, and tho (treat. Eastern returned to England. Tier cuttsort?, the Tci le and the Galatea, sailed onward to St. John's NowfoundUud, and tolo graphod to Kew York the nows of this temporary failure of the great scheme. Although unsuc cessful in the attempt just elided, tho pr?o<ieal and scientificmen engaged in thc exposition haye orrirod ni the conclusion that nothing has occur red to create thc least douht-of *the ultimate fuc ccsefullaying and working of the Atlantic .Tele graph Cable ; on the contrary their confidonce.in tho undertaking has been largely 'increased by tho valuable experience' lately obtained.

We all taow, very, well, and admit .?hat, inie of war, tbo greatest possible injuries an be inflicted hy cou tending parties, thu urn he other, are perfectly admissible and legitim inless they do viulpnco to tho recognized, tr f conducting civilized warfare. We will sup] ben, letting history, decido as te thccurrectr.ee ncorractness'of manner, that theshclliogand ruct'on of the grcatorpurtious of the towns of F tfuksburg, Petersburg, Atlanta, Charleston, t >erfoctly legitimate; that driving tut ande .cring the populations of those towns all < .be country, exposed, many of them, will ?helter and food to the rigors of-winter an :ho ^hospitalities of strangers, wero right idmixsible; that the destruc tion' of our Kai Ire md tho appropriation of our property were lfcj sate acts of war ; that tho innocont with guilty had equally to.suffer; that happy ho uends, the implements of agriculture, prodec Selds and subsistence stores, with ovcry ol elemont needed to characterize us 'as a civil: people, doserved naught but an iudisorimit wiping out. We will suppose, and indeed sven acknowledgo that, in a rtyiiimate souse thoo wbon committed, wero correct acts of 1 and will therefore simply glanoo fer a- mom at our condition and our treatment since, revolution now spoken"of ended. . The immediate results and effects then, of greatest and most gigantic of contests have I tho manumission from involuntary sorvitud four millions of happy, contented, and ns slaves ; the great dopreoiation by it of lands, estate and every other species of property ; uncertainty and u- reliableness of labor ; : fields and short crop.- ; the destruction of ala every energy and incentivo to industry and ertion in the pursuit of agriculture, and the fliclion on our pcoplo in a majority-of instai Of an idle, filthy, ignorant and devil-defying i who, unrestrained aj they now' are, can S( prove anything but a burden to themselves, a scourge and a curse to all around them, J to these results and effects as direful and as exaggerated as they are, an incalculable arra; helpless and destitute widowhood und orphan! tho complete and sudden destruction of Soul hera currency, and by it the universal r and bankruptcy which have ensued, and we h a picture presented for our contemplation hideout as it is distressing-an amount of i perhap?, greater than was ever imposed on i other nation or on any other people* on tho i of tbe globe..? -, But with all these evils which wo havo im} fcotly euHDior.ited, and under which we now sn and groan, we db not despair. The same gc merciful and just.Hod, who has all along rul and, who hos guard?-1, protected and defem ai, aud who has also supplied all our want?, 'feol will not desert us now in our day of adve ty-in our day of sore trial and distress. ( gins doubtless, bavo rendered us obnoxious Him, and have provoked our Bore punishment: His hands, but we have that abiding confide: in Hi? mercy, domeney and goodness wb makes ns believe, that justice being satisfied, will now turn from us the heavy rod of His ch tening. As a people, we havo suffered, any wo sapporo, quite enough to glut the most insati ambition of tho most exacting of conquerors, \ "Heaven >o thanked, we still hare much mort bo grateful for than perhaps tro deserve. Ma of us have the wreck of former comforts, tl with energy can be made to minister again to < necessities. Our recuperative energies and sources are but crumbed, they are not dead. ] us then with thankfulness and confidence, shs off the lethargy which enchaius"us, and awake vi gi-rous and useful exercise, all tho rem air. i energies and resoursos that wo oan possibly sn mon to our help. As tbe strong and boundi Lion, arising in bis hiding place, and shaking I dows of Heaven from his. flowing mane, sall forth in the majesty of his strength to supply ] natural cravings, so wo too, shaking from every hinderjB.cc, and putting.on oar manhec must go forth to fight anew the battle of life grapple sternly, persistently and undaunted with fate's reverses, and either in this way achieve for ourselves a foot hold on 'our rigb or, should, it be necessary, to even immolate ov selves in a yet more strenuous an<? manly mann to obtain ?nd to i ecu re thom. Tbcro is nothii wanting to enable and to incite us to do all tit then, but a fair chance-encouragement-cou donee. A good abd strong government, "tl bost government tho world ever saw/' can no afford us thus chance-this encouragement-tb confidence Will it do so ? We bare reason bopo it will. It is now taking steps looking tho accomplishment of such -purposes. Pcao profound peace, without tbo least inclination L -our people to disturb it, and without, in our opii ion, tho least likelihood that it? will ever badi turbod in tho future by them, has new reigns for the last four months from Maine to tho P.i Grande.
