TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, VM. Wi; roui.1811 lo-day, on our inner pages, n great variety of interesting matter, among which ia ft further contribution from G. W. Waj the exceedingly interesting story, as related by Mr. Fir."i>, of the great undertaking of the laying ol' the Atlantic Telegraph Cable ; late State, Georgia and North Carolina items, and our usual full and accurate commercial and marine intelligence. THE EFFECT OF THE LATE ELECTIONS ON THE SOUTH. There ?b, wc believe, a general disposition to admit at the North that the people of the South Lave abandoned the hope of vindicating their own rightB and fortunes in the country; and this commendable condition they attribute to the results of late elections in that section. lu the facl, wc presume, they arc not mistaken. Wc believe that the people of the South are utterly without the purposo of resistance further. But there is error in supposing that this slate of apathy and acquiescence has result ed from the late elections. Thero were some, perhaps, who believed that the Union was stronger than the party that assailed it, and that a sentiment of fidelity to that Union, even at the North, would be sufficient to resist tlio Radical movement to overturn it. But the number, wc beliove, was small. Our delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, under the ex citement-of that occasion, exhibited, if they did n*5t feel, the hope of some available reac tion; but that hope was shared by very few who stayed at home. It was evident that the one parly would offer to popular action the in ducement- only which consists, in the per formance of an act of justice ; the other, the more potent inducements, which consist in the promises of plunder; and it could scarcely have been a question which of these would have the most effect. The result, therefore, was a foregone conclusion; and the apnthy and ac quiescence at the South is not now more pro found than it has been at any period since the termination ol' the war. Wc have had hopes, it is true, that the better policy of the President? will prevail, and that no further sacrifice than the loss of our negro property will be necessary to the restoration of the Union. It seemed important to the well being of whites and blacks that States charged -with a large uneducated population, just free .f the only restraints it had over known, should have the powers of self-government; and it seemed, also, that there was yet much of promise in the Union, and the hope was enter tained that a senso of common right or of com mon intcrcbt would sustain that policy, and wc could not, therefore, bo unmoved spectators of the contest between the Government and the Radical party; und naturally and necessarily, therefore, there have been expressions in approbation of the course the Government, in -vindication of its policy, has had occasion to pursue. In these expressions, however, there has been no utterance of the purpose to inter vene in the proceeding. Wo knew too well that our aid would bo unavailing, and tlint our utteranocs even would but perplex the for tunes of the Government. It was in its tenden cy to protect tho people of the South that the ta8k of the Government to restore tho Union -was rendered onerous. Even radicalism would have accepted the Union, if in that there had been no necessary abandonment of the material acquisition of the war. Thi3 wc knew as well then as wo know it now. The purposo of inter vening then was not more entertained than it is now ; and if it be a pleasure to the people at the North to know thal wo acquiesce, now at last, in facts accomplished, it is a pleasure they might haye enjoyed at any time since hostilities were ended. It is said, however, thal, inasmuch as wo have the good senso, at prosent, to accept the situation, it were but a further exercise of that good sense to anticipate the purposes of that party with respect to us, and disarm it by in flicting its policy upon ourselves. This deduc tion, however, is not logical,and tho suggestion wo cannot accept. Wc . cannot know, nor do they themselves, what that policy is, or what complianco will content them. That party must antagonize tho South. Our condi tion, however changed, will present as many objects of exception; and if thcro were no other reasons for repose, it were at least moro con Vf nient to await results than, by impotent ac tivity, to fatigue ourselves with unavailing cf ' forts to appease them. THE REFORM MOVEMENT IN ENOLAND. A now phaso has been exhibited to the re form movement in Great Britain, which vwill render it a subject of more legitimato interest to the friends of liberty. At a recent enter tainment given to Mr. Bbioiit in Dublin, it was announced that the reformers in England would make common causo with the people of Ireland jn their effovts to emoncipate themselves from I tbc political restrictions under which they huvo long anil painfully labored ; and if this be done, important cons?quences may result. That the reformers will ultimately triumph, there can be little question, ami if, in that triumph, they shall insist that Ireland shall share, and, in good faith, shall require (he obliterations of dis tinctions to Hie prejudice of her people, the work of Irish emancipation may be really nenicved, and without the turnibil and blood necessarily incident to any of the plans for the achievement of that great object proposed by the organizations lately moving in the matter. Ii is to be doubled, however, whether this promise, in good faith, will be performed. If Ireland shall be necessary to the reformers of England, and so long as she may be necessary, she will bo conciliated.; but when their end shall have been obtained, they may not be considerate of tHc means of its attainment. Men love liberty, but they love dominion also, nnd, if they can secure their own liberly, which, in fact, is but nnothcr name for the ntlninmcnt of the power to influence, to n greater extent, the action of tho British Government, they will find it not more profitable than pleasant to re tain the sister island in ?v condition in which it can be made the convenient subject for the exercise, through the Imperial Government, of such power us they may be able to exert; and as the attainment of their own ends will" be made easier by their readiness lo sacrifice to it the fortunes of Ireland, it is abundantly proba ble thal, of nil the enthusiasm inspired by the prospect of such n coalition, this inuy be the janie and impotent conclusion. For the present, however, it will be apt to arrest flic further prosecution of the Fenian enterprise. Of that there is but little pros pect of any positive results. No enterprise could be more visionary than that of conquer ing England by force of arms. Of that projec tile enthusiasm inspired by ils novelty has neart ly subsided. This scheme of coalition with the reformers of England is more feasible andmore safe, and to that, therefore, it is to be expected that the energies of men devoted to the libera tion of their country will ultimately be turned. And it is truly to be hoped that the forces of Ireland, if turned on this measure, will be so turned upon it ns that, she will surely purtici-1 pate in the results of their achievement. The Charleston and Savannah Railroad_Tho U. S. Circuit Court, on its Equity sido, has been engaged for several days on the case of .? Tho Rooe-8 Locomotive and Machino Works, a Corpo ration of New Jersey, vs. Isaac W. Hayne, Edward Sebrino, John E. Carew, citizens of South Caro lina, and others-Bill^for account Discovery, In junction and Relief." This Bill is filed by Gen. Wa. E. Martin,- Complainants' Solicitor. The present discussion arose on a motion for injonction against tho salo of tho Charleston and Savannah Railroad, which is advertised to take placo this day. From tho bill it appears that the above-named Locomotive Company furnished, some time boforo the war, to the Charleston and Savan nah Railroad Company, " Twolvo flrat-class loco motives, and other stock and material, their whole account amounting to $99,290.65, and received payment on account, leaving a balance, which, with interest, now amounts to S-18,630.97. It further appears that somo timo before the last work was delivered, tho Locomotivo Company be came approhonsiv? of loss, and requested n return of tho engines. At this time 0110 engine, called tho "Southward Ho," was in Charleston, with tho box ing unrcmovod, and tho Prosidont, Gen. Drayton, consented io return tho "Southward Ho," and ar rangements for hor reshipment wore being mado, whou Gen. Drayton changed his mind, and re fusod to rodclivcr the locomotive; and tho Railroad Company retained possession of tho locomotivos, and have failed to pay thoir debt, to rocovor which the Locomotive Company has commenced an ac tion on tho law sido of the Circuit Court. On the 1st of January, 1858, the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Company issned two thousand bonds, of $500 each, payablo January 1, 1878, and secured thoir payment by a mortgago of the road, beds and superstructures, and all thoir present and in futuro to bo acquired property. The de fendants named abovo aro tho trustees for tho bondholders under thiB mortgago. Thoso trustees propose to sell tho road this day, in pursaance of the provisions of tho said mortgago, for tho bone flt of tho bondholdors. Tho complainants, approhonsivo that tho sale of the road will leave them without redress, havo ap pliod for an injunction to stop tbo salo, and in their bill allego ninetoon grounds in support of their application, tho principal of which aro, that tho locomotives, being property acquired after tho date of tho mortgage, could not pass by that in strument, and that the locomotives having been ncqnirod upon a promiso of payment in cash upon dolivory, the subsoquont possession of tho compa ny was fraudulent, and did not affect tho com plainants' lion upon thom for tho amount of tho pni .baso money. Tho dofonce to the bill is to tho cflbct that, bow evor just tho debt of tho complainants may bo, they havo lost their lien npon tho locomotives, and havo, thoroforo, no right to apply to a Court of Eqnity to enjoin tho solo of thom, under tho lion created by a mortgago. ^ Mossrfl. Wa D. Porter and C. 1{ic_a"d.son Mixes appeared for tho trust?es; Messrs. Henry Buist and J. B. Campbell for -tho bondholders; and Moasrs. MoOuady and Simonton for tho Charles ton and Savannah Railroad Company. * Tho decroo of the Court was as follows : "It is ordorod that the dofondants, Isaac W. Hayno, Edward Sobring, and John E. Carow, Trus tooa, bo enjoinod from soiling the four locomotives. Isondiga, Mayor Macboth, Jamos Adgor aud South ward Ho, inciudod in the proporty advertised by them to bo Hold, until tho further order of this Court, or until tho said Trust, os givo .u?ioieut ?county, to bo approved by Daniel llorlbock, Esq., Commissioner of this Court, iu tho sum of $30,000, to abido tdio dooroo in this causo, as to tho lion of tho complainant on tho said locomotives, or any ono of them, and that all equitios bo rosorvod. "GEO. 8. BRYAN, U. 8. Judge, "District South Caroluaa." Novombor 19,18CC. The Union Wharves.-At tho foot of Pinoknoy street is an oxtonsive and valuable wharf proporty, formerly known as Moy's Wharf. Tho groat firo of 1861 swept away tho immonso two-story ware house, 100 fcot front on East Bay and 600 foot deep, with cotton proas and othor convonionces of busi ness, noglccted from nocossity during tho war. Worms destroyed tho pier, and the action of tho tidos chokod np the dooks with mud to such an ex tent that not ovon a schooner could got to a berth whero once tho largest ships floated. It has bcon a work of nino months to rebuild tho pier (875 fea. in longth), to drodgo ont tho docks, and re-erect tho counting rooms. Captain James Copes undertook what provod to bo a horculoan task, for this pier had to bo reconstructed to its very foundation, below tho low water mark. Tho ontiro .truoturo has .bcon also raised thirty inchc. above tho old lovel. An extensivo shed spans tho splendid pier, ami wo venturo to-say that thero aro no hotter arranged wharf premisos in Oharloston. Wo aro ploasod te loam that furthor improvomonts aro proposed. Tho property adjoining to the south still exhibits tho neglect and weor of fivo or six years, but both tho piora aro available for business purposes. Tho ontiro proporty is now in clinrgo of Messrs. Cochte NA- & TitENiioi-j, ngcnls of tho Bnltimoro slcam cra, for which vessels berths arc secured at Pier No. 1. Tho entrance to tho dockn by Piin-knoy-strcot is wido; but by way of Uuync-otroot, from Anson stroot to tho water, it is very narrow. Wo have heard it rumored that City Council havo marked off tho lrnoa for tho extension of Hayno-atrcct, and as tboro is nothing but blackened ruin?, it would ?com a propitious limo to carry out tho original plan of llaync-strcot, viz: to mako it a business thoroughfaro from Mooling-street to Ea_t Bay and the river. Wo tata ploasuro in recording the reopening of Union Wharf, and bavo no doubt that it will soon bo a crowdod mart. It certainly is a most conve nient landing for IJayne, Meeting and King-street merchants, and much tho most convenient to tho principal railroad depots. .Stbeet ADVEn-nsmo.-Tina ia ono of tho fea tures of every largo town, and ia ono of tho most auccossful modes of attracting attention that has over been practiced. From the 'Brobdinagian let tors to tho mystic anagrams that puzzlo tho un initiated, every effort is used and no pains spared to bring tho notico boforo tho public. Tho intlo fatigablo assiduity of these knights of tho pasto pot ?b so woll known, that thoso palliou who wish to preservo thoir walla intact aro compelled to warn tbo intrudor off by tho mandato, "Stick no Bills." An old fonco or dilapidated wall changes its nppcaranco in a night, and tho noxt day a won dering crowd of small fry snrround tho spot, where all tho glorios of a circus or somo wonderful now euro aro displayed in glowing colora. It is par ticularly amusing whon, aB is ofton seen, tho cir cus, opera, patent medicine-, and a variety of other at?vcrtisemonts, aro mixed together and paBtcdovor each other, so aa to partly loso their identity in tho gonoral confusion. The words that can bo read here and thcro havo no connection with each other, but ofton upset tho gravity of tho roador as ho attempts to wado through tho jnmble. Fow prominont places escapo tbo touch of tho paste, and long after the performance has closed and tho parties havo left, hugo letters, so arranged that all who run might read, recall pleas ant memories and old associations. This system of advertising has boen wonderfully dovclopcd lately not only jn tho number, but in tho style and variety of theso street notices. Dbaki:, of tho Plantation Bitters, led tho way, and now, on every streot cornor, somo curious and puzzling figures attract tho attention. What these moan is unknown to many, but others study it out and per haps invest. (?) At tho North.whoretbia science was originated, thoy conduct it according to Bottled principios, and affix their trado marks and pastors to rocks, mountains and trocs, and, indeod, in every placo where tho oyo of man can observe thom. All tbo colors of tho rainbow aro used to delineate the romarkablo euros, and to render the announcement moro startling and attractive. Traveller?, who aro fond of picturesque lieau ties, aro often annoyed at finding some quack medicine advertised on tbo rocky sides of a hill, completely destroying tho effect for a lover of nature. This system is by no moana new, for, in making tho excavations at Hcrcnlaneum and Pompofi, ko-sos woro unearthed that had on their walla tho romains of-ltd street advortiuomonts in which t lui Homans of that day called attention to tho different shows and amuBomonts thon being porformod. Every roscaren into tho mysteries of the past only tonds to show that the ancients wore not behind tho present ago, and tonda to prove conclusively that thero ia indo?d nothing now un der the sun, not oven in tho advertising line. The Mills IIouse ?m a Blaze.-Thero was quito an excitomont last night at this popular hotel than which thero is-nono better throughout the longth and broadth of Undo Sam'a dominions. The excitomont was canxed by tho introduction, by Joseph Purcell, of tho Gas Multiplier of Mr. Poznans*!! into bia olegant establishment. Tbo Multiplier has boon tested in tho Daily News office, and has so far proved to bo a perfect success; tho samo result has followed i' s application in tho Guard House, and last night the Milln Uouso was added to tho list. Somo of our good citizens may not, porbapa, clearly comprehend what it is that the Multiplier purports to do and, what ia botter, does. It may bo thuB summed up in parvo and placed in a diminutivo nut sholl : If youl' gas bill is $100, by naing tho Mnltiplior you aro furnished with a far moro brilliant fight by paying $50 to the Gas Company and $10 to tho patoutco-in other words, you save forty per cont. or forty dollars on each hundred that you pay at present, and your fight is fr.r brighton The Weather_For tho past two or thrco days it has soomod as if Autumn was transformed into Hummer, and if it wero not for. tho dead leaves that drift wildly around, and tho desolate appear ance of tho bare troo", wo could easily bolievo that time had retrograded and Christmas was still somo months off. Tho air is balmy and delicious, just sufficiently tomporcd to mako it bracing and pleasant, and though thore aro not many itci-B of intoi-OBt to bo collected, yet it ia a luxury to hunt for thom in auch weather. Diana, too, lias turned up again on hor monthly round, and is favoring the inhabitants of this earth with her rays, caus ing gas lamps and all lessor constollations, oxcopt tho guardians of the night, to hido thoir diminish ed heads for a season. The looso bricks on tho pavomont are now discovered and avoided, and many an execration on tho unpleasantness of oui' ways suppressed on account of her gonorous light. In a word, it is not only tho woathor to enjoy, but it is just tho kind to writo about, and if wo havo not dono tho subject juatico, it is becauso we aro not out of doors whoro wo oan fool its happy in fluence o % Tableaux Vivamts and Soiree Musicale.-By tho programme published elsowhoro, it will bo soon that a rich treat is in otoro for tho lovers of music, recalling tho days of tho Philharmonic and Coryphcoan concerts. Tho ladies of St. Mary's congregation will doBorvo tho thanks* of a grateful community for furnishing this ontortainniont, and wo hopo thoir praiseworthy efforts will meet with suitablo recognition. The object is such as will roadily commend itself to all our oitizons. Tho program ruo promisoi? woll. "Titania and hor Court" wo know will draw; bo will "Joan of Arc," and tho "Smiling Facoa," wo fool assured, will finish tho work. Tho musical selections aro all excellent, and, wo feel assured, will be rendered with tasto and admirablo execution. Lot all go, and go early, au tho Hall can only accommodate a limited nnmbor. Captu-e of IIonsE Thieve-.-Somo wooka ago information wa. rocoivod hero of a horse thoft in North Carolina, and it was known that the thieves had crossed tho border. Tho detectives of tho city woro instantly put on their track and suc ceeded in capturing ono of tho party in Orango burg. Bo is now in jail, whore ho will await tho requisition of tho Governor of North Carolina. The Social Cinc"_.-A numbor of tho young I persons of this city, of which S. Zemansk?, T. Loelt and J. M. Bimpso?i aro tho mauagors, have fonn.d a society entitled "The Social Circle," wh.ch will meet onco every two weeks for the purpose of so cial recreation. To IIousEKEE-Eits.-Attention is directed to the advertisement of Mr. II. MoCall, who ofiers at private sale many articles that aro needed for tablo uso. They are all of the finest quality, and will bo sold at a sacrifice. Tho war broke up many fumi lies, and few now have all their wants supplied, but a visit to Mr. McCall's, and a judicious invest ment of a few greenbacks, will soon remedy this evil. N-ono Killed.-A negro named Nero Clodding wau run over on last Saturday near the Five Mile Curve, and instantly lulled. Ho was walking on tho South Carolina Railroad, but, when the train approached ho beenmo confused, and, as tho whistlo blew, stepped on the othor track, about thirty feet from tho ongino. Though every effort was made to stop tho train, it was too lato, and tho unfortunate man was run over and killed, an inquest was hold on tho body on Sunday by the Coroner. Tho Jury returned a verdict of acciden tal death, completely exonerating the engineer from all blame. ' -o , PnisoN Rules and Discipline.-Sinco it has boon satisfactorily arranged that our State is to havo a penitontiary, tho best modo of governing it will next bo the question. Fortunately this is very easily answered by reforring tho parties intorostcd to Mr. Samuel Hart's Book Store, at No. 332 King street. Mr. Hart, who ia a perfect Nestor in his business, has long seen tho necessity for works flint would throw nome light on thiu subject, and ?fters for sale a valuablo collection of Reports on tho different prisons in tho world, with tho advan tages of each system described fully. This is by far the best collection of its kind in the United States, and should ho owned by every person who wishes lo know the manner of prison government. Pbecocioiis Thieves.-Six email "white boys, be tween tho ages of six and twolvo, wcro arrested and brought before tho Mayor yesterday morning, charged with having oponed tho machino shop of Messrs. Chapmvn & Wightman with false keys and stealing a number of articles from there, including a quantity of city property. Thoy confessed tho theft, nnd stated that tho goods were sold to differ ent junk shops in tho city. Part of the goods woro recovered, but a largo quantity lind boon broken up and shipped to Boston. Mr. Chapman, who traced tho goods to tho boys, declinod to prosccuto them on account of their ago, but turned thom over to tho lender morc.es of their parents. The Carriage Emporium.-Our readers, in glanc ing over tho paper this morning, might, perhaps, be misled by the number of cuts in it into tho bc liof that it is an illustrated shoot. Wo hasten to correct such an impression by stating that tho carriages, buggios, &c, seen thoro, aro onlv ,a sample of tho stock of Messrs. R. W. Gale &. Co., and that thoso gcntlomen havo taken this method of informing the public that their Emporium, in Wentworth Btreet, is well supplied with vehicles of every description, which thoy will offer for solo at tho lowest figures. The roputation of this firm is bo well known that comment iB-hnrdly necessary, but as many aro ignorant of tho p.aco where they can procuro a fino vehiclo, wo confidently recom inond MosBrs. Ra W. Gale & Co. as being carriage dealers par excellence, and who make it a point to satisfy all who apply.

Ho was remonstrated with and advised to leave, but insisting upon his right to do as ho choso, tho alternativo of sleeping in the Guard Houso was offorod and forced upon him. A small fino of $5 was also imposed for his obstinacy. Caoear Holmes smoto a little white girl with a brickbat and cut hor badly. Her little brother rushed after a policeman, who captured Cosar. He urged naught in extenuation, and was turned over to the law. Ono of Isaac Walton's ebon disciples refused to move his fish tray from tho sidewalk, and replied to the domand in the choicost Billingsgate. Fish ermen aro not allowed to annoy tho public, and his Honor ordered him to forfoit $5. A jolly Teuton, who waB looking for meteors through the medium of a bottle, assumed a hori zontal position iu order to enjoy tho colostial view to its full extent. This was such undignified con duct for a savan that ho wn3 taken to the observa tory and shown several stars for $5.

Ho did not know his namo and was carried to tho school of morn's, whoro his first course cost him $5. Ho wou't palronizo tho institution. Frank Williams, who indulged in several aliases, was charged with stealing potatoes, a ham and other things. Ho spako not a word, and was sent to a'magistrate, who will show the aspiring nig over the jail.
