The general court martial trying the Freed- men’s Burean officers in North Carolina con- ded yesterday with the trial of Gen. E. Whitlesey, the argument for his defence being delivered by his counsel, Chas. Whittlesey, of Alexandria, Va. The case of Chaplain Geo. D. Davis will be resumed and probably con- claded to-day. The trial of Major F. A. Sealy ‘was concluded Monday; that of tain Isaac Resekrans was finished la-t week. The records of evidence in all the cases are volumineus. The court will probably conclude the trial of army officers and ot ee within ten days. It has awaited the coming «f Generals Steedman and Faillerton for several weeks. On Wednesday night last, at eleven o'clock some half dozen rebels trom Webster county, Kentucky, crossed the Obio river at Owens- boro’ to the Indiana side, and forcibly took from his bed Lieutenant Hampton, late of the Union army, carried him out te the river, shot him dead, and threw his body into the river. It bas not been found. Mrs. Hampton who waswith her husband at the time of the oc- currence, is in great mental distress and agony. Lientenant Hampton belonged to the 35th Kentucky, and was a loyal and respected citi- zen. The attention of Governor Morton has been called to the matter. Charles ©’Uonor, the principal counsel o Jeff. Davis, arrived at Fortress Monroe yes- terday morning, on the stedmer George Leary, from Baltimore At an early hour he pro- ceeded into the fortress,and remained there all day in close consultation with his client. The precise nature of his visit is unknown, excepting that the recent report of the Judi- ciary Committee has seemed to make Davis rather anxious concerning bis prospective chances of a release or an acquittal when tried. * A meeting of the citizens of Elizabeth City county was recently held in Hampton, Va, and a resolution adopted approving and en- dorsing the call for the National Union Con- vention to meet at Philadelphia, on the 14th of Augustnext, and reqairing the old Whig and Demecratic State committees to appoint dele- gates to represent the district in the conven- tion. At another meeting held at Halifax court bonse, Va., several days ago, resolutions to the same effect were adopted. General Terry has issued a general order for. bidding in his military department, during the existence of martial law, all military associa- tions for the purpose of drill or military in- struction, other than the militia organized by the Governor ef Virginia. This order will puta stop to the nightly drills and parades of the negroes, which have recently caused much excitement in Richmond The coolie ship Yeddo was burned off the Java coast April 16. A mutiny had previously occurred. The chief mate, one apprentice, and one bundred and forty emigrants were lost. The expedition of English gunboats against the pirates on the west coast had been very successiul, having captured a masked battery of twelve guns at Namani. The steam saw and planing mills of Martin Voorhees, in Princeton, N. J., were destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The loss amounted to $15,000, on which there is an insurance of $10,000in New York and Jersey City offices. The lumber firm of Mr. Vorhees & Co. lose $1.000, on which t is no insurance. The Union primary election was held tast night in all the wards in Baltimore. The con- test was for the Mayoralty at the nominating convention. Mayor Chapman, the present incumbent, carried fourteen wards, and Gene- ral Dennison only six. The contest was very spirited. Sunday night at midnight the wood-shed of the Maine Central Railroad Company, at Ban- gor, Maine, containing eight hundred cords of Wood, was set on fire in three or four places and entirely consumed. The loss amounted to $6,000. The steamer George Appold touched at For- tress Monroe Saturday afternoon to receive on board a number of colored people destined for Boston, where situations have bees procured ter them. A dispatch from Savannah, yesterday, says One death from cholera but no new cases. Eighty-four old cases are in the hospital. Four soldiers haye returned to duty. The health of the men on the island is improving. The old U.S. ship Pennsylvenia, for man: years the receiving ship at Norfolk, and which was sunk atthe commencement of the late war, is soon to be raised. Instructions have been received to continue the provisional government in Texas till faf- ther orders, The Government officials in ser- vice before the war will be reappointed. Nineteen cases and seven deaths by cholera in New York, and fourteen cases in Brooklyn reported yesterday. The Supreme Court of San Francisco has affirmed the validity ef the militia law passed by the last Legislature. EUROP N NEWS. BY STEAMER.) The following items of European news have been received by steamer. (We omit the parti- culars anticipated by telegraph) Intelligence received from Rovigo reports Austrians had erected batieries on all the roads leading to Padua. and that Brevion, the commander ot the fortress of Verona, had ordered the inhabitants to provide themselves with provisions for three months. Prince Napoleon arrived at Venice on the Ith of July. A decree had been officially promulgated or- gan:zing an sdministravion for Veneria. The Marquis Pepoli had been appointed Italian Commissioner at Padua, Signor Mardinia at Vicenza, and Signor Albevi at Rovigo. NGLAND'S NEUTRAL POLICY. Inthe English House of Commons, on the 20th of July, & long discussion took place on the condition of the navy and on the positien of Great Britain in reference to the war on the contment. Lord Stanley assured the House that foreign policy of the Government was pacific and observant, but the mode in which the policy was te be carried out must be left to the Government. The London papers generally express gee satisfaction at the course pursued by a Stanley, the new Foreign Minister. Great Britain stands absolutely sapienged and un- committed to any proposal yond friendly mediauon. All the Government has done has been to recommend the courts of Berlin and Florence to consider terme of armistice. The Lendon Times is glad that Lord Stanley is able to state that France has no intention of inter- fering by force in the continental dispute. The Londou News thinks there is not the slightest ground for distrust in Lord Stanley’s assur- apce of England’s severe discretion m the fu- ture. PRUSSIA MAY TAKE HANOVER. In the English Parliament, Lord Stanley de- nied & statement to the effect that England would not allow Hanover to be handed over to Prussia. The statement Was entirely un- founded. THE COMMERCIAL EFFECT. A despatch trom Liverpool, dated July 21, says: The announcement that Austria had ac- cepted the proposals for the nsion of hos. tilities had caused great buofancy in all mar- kets. “The prevailing opinion, especially among Germans, was that peace is almost cer- tain to be concluded, and consequently there wiil be no resumption of hostilities. The Ital. ian anewer had not yet neen received. There were no reports of further fighting. cab: Ooi chia taasr bien: Hh s7-A New Haven reporter, who has been taking notes en bhi car efiquet’e, says, that be has lately vacated his seat for ladies ween fifty and sixty times, and been thanked for it only seven times, - &7 Delaware goes beyond the other States of the Union in the enforcement of the death penalty.

NEw Eans, July 31—The convention Tisoners ariested during yesterday were re- eased by General Baird last night. The casualities run up to thirty negroes killed and several white persons, including policemen, dangerously wounded. Dr. Dostie, who was reported mortally ‘wounded. has since died. The city is still under martial law and quiet RESTORATION OF CIVIL LAW ANTICIPATED. New OnLeaNs, Juiy 31.—The Mayor con- tignes his usual] functions, and the military governor directs the Government troops.

THE CABLE. The following are extracts from the journal of the Great Eastern All went well until 12.20 on the 18th, (Gree: wich time.) when the first real shock was given to the success that bas hitherto attended us, and this time we bad real cause to be alarmed. A foul flake took place in the after- tank. The engine was immediately turned astern, and the paying of the cable stopped. We were all soon on the decks, and learned thatthe running and paying out of the coil had caught three turns of the flake immediate- ly under it, carried them into the eye of the coil, fouling the toy-eut, and hauling up one- halfturns from the outside, and five turns of the eye of the under flakes, This was stopped fortunately, before entering the ying-out machine; stoppers of hemp with chains were also put on near the wheel astern, and Mr. Canning gave orders to stand by to let go the buoy. This was not very cheering to hear; but though the caim and collected man gave us confidence that his skill and ezperience would extricate the cable from the danger in which it was placed, no fishing line was ever entangled more than the rope when thrust up in apparently hopeless danger from the eye of the cable to the deck. There was at least 5,000 feet of rope lying in this state. and in the midst of the rain and increasing wind the cable crew setto work to disentangle it. The Dolphin was there. too. patiently follow- ing the lights as wey 4 showea themselves, the crew now passing them forward and now aft, until at last the character of the tangle was seen, and soon it became apparent that ere long the cable would be sayed and uninjured down tothe tank. Captain Anderson was at the taffrail, anxiously watching the strain on the rope, (we could scarcely make it out, the night was so dark,) endervoring to keep it up and down, going on raising with paddle and screw When one reflects for a moment upon the rise of the ship, and the enormous mass she presented to the wind, the difficulty of keep- ing her stern, under the circumstances, over the cable can be apprehended. The port pad. dle-wheel -was disconnected, but afterward there was 4 shift of wind, and the vessel came to the wrong way. Welcome voices were now heard passing the word aft from the tank that the bights were cleared, and to pay out. Then the huge stoppers were quietly opened, and at 2.05 a. m.. to the joy of all. we were once more discharging the cable. They veered it away in the tank to clear the screw, and the paddle-engines were slowed so as to reduce the speed of the ship to4 knots. During all this critical time there was entire absence of noise and confusion Everything was silently done, and the cable- men and crew worked with bearty good will. Mr. Canning has experienced foul flakes be- fore, and showed that he knew what to do in the emergency. But what of the electrical condition of the cable during this period ? Simply that through its entire length it is per- fect. THE LOST CABLE. HEART'S ConTENT, July 2%, via Aspy Bay, July 30.—C. W. Field says that the Medway and Albany will leaye on Monday to grapple for the lost cable. C. W. Field says the Great Eastern will leave next Saturday for the lost cable. The Medway will lay the cable across the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and also between Prince Ed- ward Island and Newfoundland, after the cable is recovered. All the British vessels have the American and English flags at their foretops, and all the British tars are singing Yankee songs. Atlantic Telegraph ¢ ges.

Through Lewis J Veichman, there and then arrested, and others, during the very night of the murder, there de tectives obtained and furnished to officers of the War Department the names of Booth, Atz- erodt, Surratt, and Wood alias Payne, befor, daylight on the morning of Saturday, April 15th also, information that two of the pa J «then eup| to be Booth and Atzerodt) had crossed the Navy Yard bridge. The military authorities promised horses fer the use of these detectives, with the aid of a squad of men, to pursue at dayhgbt. Morn- ipg arrived, the miitary thorities failed to produce the horses, and they were not ob- tained until nesr 10 o'clock am. of the 15 when the detectives started on Fort Baker, opon request from Pro t Mar- sbal Ingraham, a squad of one sergeant and five men was obtained to accompany them. Afler unremitting labor of two days aad nights in search of the fagitives, without rest for themselves or the horses. and all worn out they returned to the city im the night of Sunday, having failed to overhaul the con- spirators, but being able to furnish valuable information, in view of further search On the return of Detecuve McDevitt (who co-operated with Clarvoe, bet went anotner Toute,) on Saturday night, he obtained infor- Twation from Weicbman that if be could be in Baitmore before morning he could get the person of John H. Serratt. Asthe only means to do se was to command & special train. he procured a request from the Superintendent of Police to the Secretary of War, asking for orders to tbateffect. After the delay adent to the alarm of the times, a request, Passing from the Secretary of War through third par- ties, accompanied by the letter of the Super- intendent of Police and other papers, desiring Mr. McDevitt to take the same to the heuse of Assistant Secretary Dana, who. it was stated, would make the nec arrangements to effect the arrest. After the perusal of the papers, Assistant Secretary Dana requested Tr. McDevitt to call at his office at 11 o'clock the nextday. He quietly informed that dig- nilary that at that hour be should be in Balt.- more by the morning tram, bat which, from his information, he feared woald be too late. McDevitt also first got information connect- ing David E. Harold with this ponspiracy, and searched his mother’s house, and tur- nisbed to Generaj Augur’s office a likeness of bim. Subsequently ‘hese detectives, taking with them Weichman and a man named Holiatan as witnesses ang informefs, followed Surrat: to Montrea!. Canada, but there lost track of him by barely six hours’ time. Fiom this basty sketch it will be readily seen that the committee, instead of making an ex- position of facts, has in large measure pursued & myth, and perverted the true history of the case. The facts show that ere dawn of the morning of the 15th, (the nightof which Susaa Mahoney overheard disclosures.) these dee. tives obtained and reported to the Secretary of War intormation which implicated several of these parties, and sought aid to enable them promptly to pursue two of the fugitives. And now be it _knowf, that while this same Susan Mahony, Mrs. Surratt and daughter, Weich- manand Hollaban, on this same might of the assa@*ination, the 14th of April, were ender arrest and in the Surratt house, Olarvoe and McDevitt obtained from those persons there present facts and names which unmistakably implicated Mrs. Surratt, John H. Surratt, Booth, Atzerodt. Harold, and Wood, as known there, but Payne as afterwards ascertained. Hence it will be observed that several # in advance of the committee's alleged results of Susan Mabony’s “haste,” the War Depart- Ment Was put in possession of all the mate. rial facts which primarily led to the cure of Payne, Atzerodt, Booth, Harold and Mrs. Surratt. Spangler and his man Jobn, who held Booth’s horse, were arrested and locked up by the police on the night of the murder hese officers were the first to get the true track taken by Beoth, Harold and Surratt, (but Harold having taken Atzerodt’s horse, was then @ppposed to be the latter.) and were the first to/pursue, after searching the prem - ises of Surratt and Harold, notwithstanding the hindrance resulting from the unfortunate delay of the military ,uthorities in turnishing horses. The reenit and all subsequent history shows that their premises were well taken: that their information was correct, and that had their efforts been seconded by the authorities who had and exercised power, Booth and Harold could never have lett Maryland, and Sarratt would have been caugut at Baltimore. The actual capture of Payne was the fortunate re. sult of an afterthought at best: for having been headed off by the guard on Navy Yard bridge in his effort to follow Booth, he was left cagea in the city Such are tacts susceptible of the most con- vineing proofs, which have been filed in the War Department, and ought now to be in pos- session of the committee, as especiat reference was made thereto by said detectives.

Sergeant Major OColem stated that the affidavits expected trom Portland had not yet arrived. The Recorder questioned the sergeant as to whether the written affidavits referred to were the only evidence that could be produced to prove a case of polygamy. The sergeant repli that it was, and that the wit- nesses were unable to pay their expenses such & distance. The Recorder said that the laws of Virginia did not allow written affidavits to be received as evidence in thecourts. It would be useless, then, 10 continue the mattes any longer. ficient evidence having been taken to show that the accused bad been guilty of misdemeanor, he would therefore send the party on for indictment for unlawtfally marry- ing 4 negro woman.
