LONDON, Docember 29.-The Morning Post to-day publishes tho correspondence between James G. Bennett, Jr., Kew York, and Mr. Asbury, of London, lookmg to an ocean yacht race bet .vee.i tho Dauntless and tbo Cambria. In its comments the Post prefers the Azores track as ono much better adapted to test the sea-going qualities of the vessols and the sea? manship of their masters than the regular trans-Atlantic route. The writer exhorts the owners of the British schooner-yachts to join in the race, and says tho Sappho will partici? pate. t CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. Wm. Brunner & Co., of Manchester, a firm with extensive American connections, have suspended payment. * There have been three thousand three hun? dred bankrupt cases in Virginia.

Monk, a Union brigadier In the war, is on trial in New Orleans for robbing the mail. Tho j my cannot agree. The office of the Marksville Begister, a Loui? siana country paper, has been destroyed by a mob. OUR Ji A ir. HOAD CONNECTIONS. The following extracts from tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel will show I?M*-U be? ing done for the completion of the Macon and Augusta Railroad, and what are the first ef? fects of the absorption of the stock of the At? lantic and Golf Bailroad by tho Central Bail road of Georgia: : AUGUSTA AND MACON- RAILROAD. Wo had the pleasure of a call from Georg?. H. fiazlehurst, Esq., chief engineer of the above road, yosteiday, and, through him, learned that tho City" Council of Macon sub? scribed, on Mouthy night la.it, for fifty thou? sand dollars of additional stock to this important ente .'prise. The citizens of Ma? con are fully aroused to the importance of an early completion of the road, abd liberal individual subscriptions will also be made. We learn, also, that President Magrath, of the South Carolina Hoad, and Judge King, of tho Georgia Road, were in consultation in this city vesterday as to the best means of pushing the Macon Road through from Jilli edge ville at once. The distance from the latter place to Macon is only thirty miles, moro than one-half of which distance is already graded aud ready for the iron. If Judgo Laug and Colonel Ma? grath will only de.ei mi.io to have the lino -completed, they havo tho means and can-put it' through in a few months. This is an impor? tant connection, both for Augusta and Charles? ton, and wc trust that it will not bo pertmtteJ to lie neglected any longer. f HOW THE PEOPLE SUFFER. Wo learn that ono of the first fruits of the mammoth railroad speculation recently con? summated by the Central and Southwestern Railroads with the City of Savannah for a con? trolling share in tho stock of tho Atlantic and Gulf Road, was developed in a meeting held in Savannah, day bet?re yesterday, between tho-| President of tho Southwestern Road, Colonel Holt, the President of the C.-ntral Road,Colontl Wadley,and thc President of tho Gulf Road.Col onel Scriven, by which a new freight tariff for these roads was adopted ranging Emm tfure?'Jo six hundred per cen!, higher than present rates! Cotton, which tho Central and Southwestern Roads carry now from Columbus to Savannah at 20 cents per hundred, is rated in thc new schedule at $1OJ per hundred. From Bataam thc present rato of 33 couts is raised to $1 30. From Bainbridge tho present rate of $1 per brie is raised to $3 per bale. Tho tariff of | freights from other points on these roads aro raised correspondingly high. Tho peo plo ot Georgia can see clearly now what we told them several days biuce would bc the effect of tho great Central Riilroad monopoly, under Mr. Wadley. Tue interests of the peo? ple are to bo made subservient to the imperi? ous and dictatorial will of the President of tho Central Road. Whether they will submit long to these unprincipled combinations against their own and the State's interest, romani to be seen. The Legislature meets in a few days, and wc trust such legislation will be euactcd as will protect tho people from the unjust schemes of these monopolists. FROM A HOBSE-BLANEET DOWN TO A LACS VEIL.-Mr. C. M. Robinson, of Chatham Four Corners, New York, writes: 'You may remem? ber that in October, 1SW, I bad of you some sewing machines. Ono of them my family have used to do all their work, vn all kinds of goods, from a horsc-blank?t do.vn to a lace veil; and it has never co.-,t us a cent tor repairs, except.two needles. Oar sir ls from fen year* old work it with perfect success and ease."- I [Loiter to Willcox & Gibjs S. M. C-.imn.'.ny, Jtfarch 22,1865. THE BILLHED CO TEST between G'jhuhwaite and McDevitt at i laicato, las; luc.;day, was the eiahteeuth match .or me chaiupunaVlp oft America. McDevitt secured tho caoiee of position, and made an opening ran of twenty seven, followed by a scored bevon tor his oppo? nent. No particular brilliancy was eb3crvrt ble until thc thirty-third inning, when Goiii thwaite mado a ran ol two hundred und tweniy eix. A few forces secured to him a linc situa-* lion for tho balls, and, by dext- rous play, tie Toraed thom to thc ibove splendid count. As he tipped and tone) 1 the balls, he was greeted with frequent cheers, and when bc tur:.cd his first hundred, thc game Iud to bo Stt*?>o.*nlcd to allow his Iricuds th< ir meed ul' applause. The gamo then stood, McDevitt, nine hundred and twenty-two; Goldthwaite, niuo hundred and twenty. In tho forty-fifth inniug, McDevitt made the largest run ot tue game, scaring, by the use of the push aud his tiree in a row, two hundred and thirty-sight points. The call, at its conclusion, stood, McDevitt thirteen huu dred and three; Goldthwaitc, eleven hundred and tweuty-six. Tho game then progressed with varying changes-rat one timo McDevitt seemiDg to bo defeated, peradventure; but a lo.ve of Goldthwoite, and a lucky break, ena? bled him to win tho game by seventeen points. Both players exhibited a remarkable degree ol skill, and thc game is considered thc best they ever made in public. . ... THE FLIGHT OF JEFF. DAVIS. Pollard's Account of Uic Flight of tuc Confederate President from Richmond -Preparations for and Incidents of the Journey-Demeanor of Mr. Davis at Abbeville- Hoiv he was Treated by Alexander II. Stephens. Ia the January number of Packard's Month? ly, Mr. Edward A. Pollard has a "true" sketch of tho flight and capture of Jefferson Davis. I he article is marked by the well known bit? terness and prejudico nf its author towards the Confederate President, and its statements may therefore be received with many grains of a.iowancc. Tho following extracts will give i i ur readers a fair idea nf its stylo and temper : FIlEPATtATIOiNS FOR FLIGHT. While Grant and Lee thundered beforo-Pe? tersburg, Jcff.-rsou Davis fled from Richmond, without a word of public explanation; with none of that benediction or encouragement which a great leader is expected to impart to his people in such a catastrophe-escapi: g with the igoominy of au obscure, mean fugi? tivo, if not positively in the character cf a de? serter. Some explanation has been offered of his singular neglect on thia occasion of ?iose whom, in his day of power, ho was accustom? ed, after thc affectation of a fond and internal ruler, to' call "his people," in the statement that thc government at Richmond had no ex? pectation of Lee's disastor, and was thus pain? fully hurriod in its evacuation ot the capital. Thc statement is untrue, and thc excuse ie unavailing. The writer well knows, what has not heretofore boen imparted to public curiosi? ty, that Jefferson Davis had, many weeks be? lora Lee's catastrophe, mado the 11103t careful and exacting preparations for his escape. The matter had been fully cousulted with his cabi? net in profound secresy; audit had been agreed that, to secure the escape of the President and his, pnnoipal officers, the Snenandoah should be ordered to cruise off tho coast ol Florida to take the distinguished fugitives on board, who had selected that coast for their exit from the Confederacy, and their extrication from its failing fortunes. These orders had been sent * to the Confederato .'raiser many days boforo Leo's hnes were broken, it was calculated that th*? President's .par? ty might make an easy and deliberate escape in the way agreed upon, as the communi? cations with tbe Florida coast woie then scarcely doubtful, and once on the Shenan? doah-a fast sailer, the most valuable rem? nant of the Confederate navy-they might soon obtain au asylum on a foreign shore. Other preparations were mado for the flight. All the papers of the government woro revisod' and marked for destruction, abandonment or preservation, according lo their contents; and eveu Mr. Dans' private baggago was put in order for transportation. Of courso thepuolic knew nothing of these preparations, and it did not eveu suspect them. Mr. Daniel, of the Rich moud Examiner, had repeatedly said, with bitterness, that whatever tho event of tho war, whatever its misfortune, Mr. Davis would be certain to provide for his personal safety, above that of all other?; and indeed, this jour? nal had suggested that, for this mean reason, the President had invariably blanched at any retaliation upon the onemy in vol vin s the pen? alty of death. But many peoplo resented this thought ot the Examiner; they persisted in be? lieving that President Davis v.oulJ ttt-d with the army when tho Confederato flig was low? ered, and accept a common lol with them and the people; and they called to mind his hero c words, spoken to tho troops in Virginia in UCL] at the beginning of tho war: "Woeu the last line of bayoneta is levelled I will ba with yea." After having safely bestowed his important papers, and by this measure consulted to some dogrco his personal safety, it might bs supposed that Mr. Davis would bo prepared to leave Richmond with jomo nppoarace ot self possession and dignity. Rut alter aU the pro? visions for his flight, tho signal for it was so ^vA?ecaAiA-oat^^ti?-annouueed t>.. hmi.-^ Lee s dread telegram, wnao-no sal io St. Paul's Church, with thc sunshine ot a cai n and beautiful day pulsing through the win? dows-as to have some effect of surprise at least, breaking down his equanimity, aud re? ducing bim to that condition of fluster aud . tremulousness with which the weak man re? ceives tho news of ruisf jrtnne, no matter how long he has vaguely expected it, and practiced agaiust tho moment of ita announcement. HS r.OBS THE TREASURY. He nervously prepared at his houso his pri? vate baggage, assisted by Mrs. Davis, and ho never ventured in the s?rcets until, undercover of the night, he got unobserved oa the train that waa to convey him from ttiobiuond. Ho did not forget the'gold in the Treasury; that, amounting to less than $10,000, it had beeu proposed some days before, in Congress, to distribute as largesses to thc discontented sol? diers; but Mr. Davis had insisted upsn reserv? ing it for exigencies, and it was now secured in his baggage. He did not forget his sword, that, a costly present from soino ot his ad? mirers 'n England, had been sent to tho Rich? mond Hrmory fo* some repairs; it was aban? doned to tho"fire there. Th3 last seen of this relic ot the Southern Confederacy was a twist? ed end gnarled stem of stool, on private exhi? bition in a lager-b:er saloon in Richmond, garnished with a certificate that it was what remained of Jeff. Davis' sword, and that tho curiosity might bo purchased for two bundled dellars. Whether the rotailer of lager has yet disposed of his treasuro wc do not know. HE WEEPS AT AUUEVILLE. Mr. Davis roached Abbeville on thc first ol May. SJ far ho had baen aceompauiod by thc fragments of live brigades, amounting in num? ber to less than ono thousand men, and reor? ganizo:! into two battalions, at the front and ir? roar of the long train whijj signalled his flight a'i 1 foolishly obstructed hit- effort al es? cape. There ware already painful cvilanoss of tho demoralization of ihe escort, uni ?ho 8tc.*v tjkt almost nt every milo, by stragglers fromJohnst n's command, was not ci tenta ted to inspire them. At Abbeville, Mi-. Davis re? solved upon a council of war. it was compos? ed of the live brigade Mainlanders, aud Gen? eral Lraxton bragg (for tho year paat thc "niiklr.ry adviser" ot thc Pro.d-louc) w is au niitted to this last oceuo of thc deliberations of thc lost cause In thc council, Mr. Davis epoko willi moro than his accustomed Hindi t.* and earnestness, inspired by hopj, but without voluuility or ex? travagance. Ho made a statement of surpass? ing plausibility. J he South, he declared, was suffering from a pauie; it yet had resources to continue tho war; it waa tor those who remain? ed with arms in their hands to ??ivo an exain plo to reanimato others; such an act of devo? tion, besides being tho most sublime thing in history, might yet save the country, and erect again its declining revolution, "lr is but ne? cessary," he said, "that the bravo men yet with me should renew their determination to continuo tho war; tuey will be a nucleus for rapid reinforcements, aiid will raiao tho signal of reanimation for '.ho whole country." No one of the council answered him at length; thc replies ol' thc omaianJors wore almost sunk to whispers. The scone was be? coming painful, and it was at last agreed that each innis turn should announce his decision. Each answered slowly, reluctantly, iu lite neg ut ive. The only words added were tint, though they considered the war hopeless, tivy would not disband their men until ?hey had guarded the Presiden! io a place of safe ty. "No," exclaimed Mr. Davis, passionately, "I will listen io DO proposiiiou for my uafety. I appeal to you for tho cause of the country." Again h. urged flic conauaiiiers IJ accept ?ia views. "We were silent," ?a;.s General B'.sii Duke, one ot thc council, '.for we could noi agree wah him. and wo respected him too much to reply." Mr. Davis yet.st.io.l cree', raised his bauds to his bead, cs if in pain, and suddenly ex? claimed: "All hopo i.> ROUO !" added haughti? ly, "I seo that the friouds of the South aro prepared to consent t . her degradation;" and thou sweeping the company with a pioud aid despairing glance, he attempted to pass from the room. But tho blow was too much for his feeble or? ganization. Ilia lace was white nith anger and disappointment, and tho misf of unshed leara was iu bis eyes-leora which pride strug? gled to keep bick. Tho sentiment that all wa-< lost went through his heart like tho slow and measured thrust of a sword; os. thc wouud sunk into it, it leit him speechless; loose aud tottering, he would haw fallen to the floor had not General Breckinndgo ended thc scene hy ie i di tig him faltering from the room. In a dead and oppressive silence thc deserted lead.-r, the tillen chiet, secured a de? cent retreat ior agonies which tears only could relieve. ns is rxsULTEC. The cruellest nigkc; or insert of?hi3 misfor- ' tono happened in passing through tho small town of Griswoldville, tho boree of Alexander H. Stephens. Mr. Davis, now an object of sympathy, worn,- doserted, remained two or three days in Griswoldville; be might there, at least, have exncstcl that one who had been so near him in omeo as tho Vico-President of tho Confederacy, would have visited him, to ten? der some hospitality or to offer him an honor? able condolence. Mr. Stephens never came near him, never sent him to1, ec or message, to his sbamo bo it mentioned; for surely a mean nature is never more despicable thao in its treatment of misfortune, and its cowardly refuge, on such occasions, iu old resentments or in selfish calculations. HE BECOITES AN EMIGRANT. On leavinir Griswoldvillo it was determined that Mr. Davis and bis family, whom he expect? ed soon to overtake, should thereafter travel r i an emigrant party. Mr. Reagan was still in his company. Goneral lireckinridgo had left j outside tho town of Washington, taking with him forty-five Kentucky soldiers-a straggling remnant of Morgan's old brigade Ton mount? ed men had offered to escort Mrs. Davis, and although they had accepted their paroles, just? ly considered that they ni ghi protect a dis? tressed lady f rom marauders. All tokens of the President's importance, in dress and air. were laid aside; covered wagons, a pack-mulo and cooking utensils were provklod at Washington; and it was designed that MrrDavis, his wife, and his wife's sister should pass os a simple country family emigrating from Georgia, and I having" fallen in with straggling soldiers for their protection. Mr. Davis' dignity was laid J aside without much difficulty. Carlyle says: "A King in the midst of his body-guard, with all his trumpets, war horses and gilt standard bearers, will look groat, though he be little, but only some Roman Caius can givo audience to satrap ambassadors while scated on t.se ground, with a woollen cap, and supping ci boiled peas, like a common soldier." Mr. Da? vis, in tho dress of a country farmer, had none of ?ties? traces of imperialism which cling to those "born to the people." His features, just and handsome, without being remarkable,wore those which mig.it command by assumed airs, or might be practiced to particular expressions, but scarcely those which could assert superior? ity without au effort and at a glance. He in? curred but little chance of detoction in tho dress he bad assumed of an honest, well-to-do emigrant. ' But the last device of the distinguished fugi? tive, tho only ono in which he had shown any ingenuity, and had confessod his real anxiety for escape, was in vain, and he was captured threo days journey from Washington. He had scarcely expected to fall in with the enemy north ot the Chattahoochee River, the bounda? ry of the "Department of the South wost," and there bo had designed to part with his wife, and to commit her to her journey to tho She? nandoah. He was overtaken by a small body of Fedoral cavalry, originally sent out to post a skirmish line "through that pirt of Gaorgia .reoclii ng to Augusta, but now diverted to his pursuit. -North Carolina is to have an eight thou? sand aero park, with a penitentiary in tho centre. -No suoh cold weather has visited Florida since 1833-?O say* our exchanges.
