"?'?' =S -.-- -ir-.-"-' COLtTMBIA. Friday Morning, June 30, 1865. Holden's Proclamation in ?Sfcrth CaJrolina. W. W. iloldeu, Provisional Governor of North Carolina, issues his proclamation, d?fed at Raleigh on the 12th day of Jone, to the people of his State, aunounciug in detail the processes for the reconstruction of theState audTfs. restoration to its poe?- I lion in the Uuiou. ! ie proclaims a cou vcution of tho people of North Carolina, to ba hold as early as possible, eo be com? posed of thc same number of members as that of thc two houses of thc State Legis? lature. No one can bc a member of ibis convention who has not taken the oath of loyalty to the United States, and uo per? son not well affected, as well as loyal, is to bc permitted to take this oath or to vote .in thc election of members. None of thc classes excluded from the} benefits of the amnesty will be suffered to take thc oath, | save ou thc exhibition o? a full purdon fret:; tho President. Thc convention, when | assembled, will alter or amend thecpnsti- I lution of Hie State, which rs then lo be I submitted to the voters. Tuc convention j will then provide for thc election, by the j people, of a Governor and members of thc j Legislature, and the Legislature will then j elect two Senators to represent the State ia Ccutrress. An election will also bc held, "iA due tine,'' for m embers of tho House of Representatives in Congress, j "And," says thc proclamation, "inasmuch j as there arc no civil magistrates in lids State, nor State oflicers of any kind, tho Provisional Governor, by virtue of autho? rity in him vested by l?ie President of thc United States, will proceed:" 1-st. To appoint justices of the peace for the various counties, loyal men,"by whom thc above oath will be administered, and j who will also conduct the elections, thro' i subordinates, for numbers of a conven? tion, in accordeuce with instructions from th is ofliec, and agreeably to thc laws of this State in force previoualy to thc 20th day of May, 1S61. gd. Superior Courts of Over and Termi? ner will be held, when necessary, by judgi s specially appointed and commissioned lo dispose of criminal cases. ?id. The justices of thc peuce, appointed as aforesaid, -.viii be authorized to hold courts for thc transaction of all such busi? ness as may not bc of the cia?? of cases ? triable by a jury. The justice:-, by a ma? jority ot their whole number, will also bi: . authorized to appoint their sheriffs and their clerks for the time being, und such other olrieers as may be indispensable t? a proper transaction of business. And they will also be vigilant and will exert them? selves to maintain thc laws and to pro-, .mote tiie peuce ol' society in their respect? ive eouutio; and especially to arrest and commit for trial, when the courts may be held, all offenders against anjT law of tho Stale in force previous to the 20th of Mav, 18C1; and to allow bul!, where the cas? is bailable, according to the usage of the State. .Hy. The Provisional Governor will j appoint thc State director? and State proxies *in the various corporations in which thc State is interested, as the exer? cise of sucli power by hun canyot he avoided.- But the control of the railroads, : tho asylums and other corporations in .which the State is interested thus,unavoid ably to this extent committed to him, will bc relinquished for the action ol' the con? vention when that body shall have assem? bled. Such, in brief, is an outline of Hie policy deemed necessary to reconstiuct the go? vernment of North Carolina, and to restore the State to its constitutional relations to the Federal Government. A great public meeting took place in Augusta, Ga., with thc view to the resto? ration of that State to the Union. Judge Charles P. Jenkins was called t> the Chair, and stated the objects of the meeting in an elaborate ' speech. A committee was appointed, consisting of Judge Starnes, il. li. Plant, B. P. Hall, John P. King, lt. II. May, H. H. Cumming, Edward Thomas, George T. Barnes, John A. Bollier, John Foster, L.Cohn, J.E. Burch and George Cooper. The report of thc committee admit their efforts for the dissolution of the Union, do not pretend to rejoice at theirdefcat, hut declare themselves willing in good faith to seek re-union as the ne? cessity of the country. The report and ; csoiutio:i3 were unanimously adopted. The imperialists in Mexico have achieved p. .large success ia a reeent battle in Mexico, killing Kegrete, of tho liberal army, with 700 men, and taking gJjUO prisoners. The Stato Department at Washington is ein,ed, because of the death of Mrs. Se. ward, wife of thc Secretary. fi i c fleury . '- 'ho Mnited ?jta?es s *. be w-? The Atlantic Talagraph. The vessels have 6aileJ w li ?eli uro de? signed for laying the second grand cable, in the now experiment to uuite Europe and America by electric telegraph.* The hope of success is warmly ( entertained. The journals are filled wii.li the miautest details of the construction of the cable and the preparations for laying it*down; and one of them, commenting upon tho completion of the wire, assures its readers that the first act of a magnificent enter? prise is completed, with an amount ol success which augura well for th* final triumph of the undertaking. lu itu way, the construction of such u eable is one of the greatest feats of scientific and mecha? nical skill which evan . ur limes eau boast. The requirements, ittdeed, are such as might well have appalled thc most adven? turous of cngiucerr. The.mere selection of the design, and the choice of the mate? rials, involved nt every step considerations of the highest scioutilic refinement.' The' copper conductor had to ho made ol metal tested up to a quality which had never before boen reached; tho gutta percha co? vering was to possess an insulating power i equally beyond * what had over beeu at- j tained; the true proportion between the diameters of tho conductor und tiie insu? lating coating was determined by mathe? matical investigations of the highest order, so as to obtain, with a given amount of material, the utmost possible rate of transmission of signal.-. Not less care was needed ?to fix the precise character of tho outer coating, thc function of which is simply to strengthen and preserve the core, which alone constitutes thc electric cable, properly so termed. In the first place, a large measure of strength was insisted on, about double that which hud been thought sufficient on thc first trial. Still further to relieve the rn pe from the strain to which it will be subjected in tho process of laying, and even after it has reached its final positif T. in every place whore the rocky character of the ocean bcd may throw it into festoons from ridge 'to ridge of the subiuariue mountains, it was determined to reduce the speoiiio gravity of the cable far below that of its unlucky predecessor. Tartly with this view, and partly in the hop? of securing greater longevity, each iron strand of the outer casing is separately covered with hemp soaked in a l-uitimii.mis preparation, which ia*expected lo protect the metal for years from the risk of corrosion. It was necessary, too, above all things, that the cable should not only be constructed on the soundest principles, but that il should admit of tho most searching tests before being laid, once for all, out of the. reach cf human hands. From thu Newberry Herald, of thc 28th, we gather a few facts in that locality. The Company E, 25th Ohio Regiment, Captain . Murray, reached the town on Monday last, and encamped on Academy Grove. We j I are told that they aro reducing the refrac ' tory to order by very summary acts of justice. At a preliminary meeting, on j Friday, tho citizens passed resolutions and i appointed committees to apply for the restoration of tho ' relations heretofore existing between the State ami the Fede? ral Union. A.general publie meeting is to be hold for this purpose on the first Mon? day in July. Tho citizens are addressed to tho same effect in a letter by Kev. J. J. "Grantly. ?Vira. Julia A.#Aull writes from Frog Level a communication describing thc brutal performance?, robberies and in? solence of certain raiding parties of the precinct, who have been stealing under various pretexts. She gives the uames of some of tho ringleaders, whom she rates in good feminine' style with tho sharpest offensive weapons, and trusts that she may get redress through agencies belter calcu? lated to rebuke the robbers. The editor announces the premature arrival of the blue-tailed fly in Newberry-not as he usually appears, but in the character of a pair of militia colonels, who, not having been in tho war, have had a buz together which did not become a battle. General-John C Breckenridge and party have safely reached Cardinas, in the island of Cuba, and have received mark ed atten? tion froui the Sptffeish authorities.

SERENADE OF TUE P?HENIX.-'Hie Pheonix was treated to a delicious sereu ?uh' or: Wednesday night, under her Very nest. Tho bird, sitting upon her boughs, with a.11 her young about her. was just about to fold up her feathers for the right, when thedulaet strains Mst reached her ear? She naturally opened theui wide, and the yoong birds gathered nigh, aUentto listen ' There were several mellow instruments, rifes, ilutes and soft recorder?; the guitar, the violin, the coruet-a-piston, and a modest imitation of the trombone, and ''all went ru :rry as a marriage bell." Very sweet, indeed, and tender, sadly sweetly, lovingly tetider, \?ere the ballads sung. We could distinguish, we fancy, some d' tfie voices, and clearly identified that ot Signor Den Eugenio Martini, so well known for his admirably imitative powers a::d for their great variety. He surpassed all previous surpassing. We a'so distin? guished the tia?, Bute like accents and the pathetic tones of the voice of II Signior Moroshii Calhuno, whos: performances transmit his reputation as a master'of the keys, from the Arostook to the llio Grande Wc were not able to distinguish or dc id-, upon the other parties, but one of them we believe to be a young Spanish darm-el, who, in the guise of a moustached va? lier, made her escape from Cuba, joined Hie Confederates at the battle of Benbo.n ville, escaped without wounds, and ?tut preserving her masculine equipment?, wanders about with a bird song forever in her i.loath, lt is whispered that theee parties, with sundry others, of both gen? ders, propose a series of concerts in Co? nimbia for the benefit of sufferers by fire, water and bad whiskey. We-trust that they will succeed in their laudable endea? vors, lathe mean vr hilt*, and until their plots ripen, we trust that they will frc quenlly regale the Phoenix with those sweet sounds, that passionate llow ol melody, whieh takes ar.d imprisons the soul and laps it in Elysium. Wc sleep di - Ucieusly aft.er those dulcet murmurs which take a dying fal!, only to rise again into-a grand diapason, in whieh new wings lift us over tho earth, and we sleep serenely in a superior atmosphere. ???~PEKSOSAL,-All subscribers to the Pheonix, whose subscriptions have ex? pired, will pleas- come forward and renew, in specie or Government Treasury notes; otherwise their .papers will be stop? ped. ^ Wc wish it. distinctly understood that our terms arc canil.
