QUA HEART'S CONTENT SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Heanr’s Cowrant, N. F., July 30, 1366. “We have had two days of comparative quictude. Yva- terday being the Lord’s day, the telegraph offices were closed to public traffic, and little therpfore was done be- yond the mere reception and despatch of private mo3- sagos. To-day the Atlantic operators were kept as busy ag bees sending and recoiving, and messages were got from all parts of the world, among them a telegram from Alexandria, Egypt, to Mr. Field from the President of the Suez Canal Company. You have already received that in New York by telegraph. ‘THR NEW TELEGRAPH BUILDINGS. Mr. Field, with his accustomed energy and promptneas, ls already engaged in providing for the future, This morning he purchased, on behalf of the Anglo-American Company, a large piece of property as a site for new tel- egraph buildings for the accommodation of electricians, operators and clerks. The property is situated in the heart of the village, and is perhaps the very best place that could have been selected for tho purpose. It belonged to Skipper: Elias Warren, and includes a spacious dwelling house, formerly oceupied as ® hotel. A new and commodious building is to be erected on the site immediately. It will be fitted up in ‘the most comfortable style; will have a large meas room, billiard saloon, library and other little luxuries calculated to make the time pass off pleasantly. ‘The general superintendent will be Mr. Collett; but the station will be undor the direction of Mr, Charles William Lundy, who will be assisted by the following electricians and operators :—Messre, Perry, Trippe, Wood- cock, Weadon, Unicum, Sullivan and Clark. The olec- tricians at Vaientia aro Messrs. Graves (in charge), J. T. Smyth, C. George, Carson, Tranfleld, Brown and Crocker. GRAND BANQUET ON THE GREAT EASTERN. A grand banquet in celebration of the success of the Aulantic Telegraph cable was given on board the Great Eastern this evening, the company comprising all the great mon of the enterprise and a number of distin- guished personages representing the government, wealth and society of Newfoundland. The affair took place in the grand saloon, in which four large tables, brilliantiy lighted up, were laid out, The President's table was placed opposite the grand entrance and at right anglos with the others, ‘The guests were received in an elegant ante-room by Captain Anderson and Mr. Field. Among those present wero Daniel Gooch, Esq., M. P., Director Telegraph Con- struction and Maintenance Company; Capt. Alexander T. Hamilton, Director Anglo-American Company; Johu C, Deane, Secretary do.; Prof. Thompson; Hon. R. J. Pineent, Newfoundland Legislative Council; Messrs. Obsnning, Laws, Willoughby, Smith & Bro., Collett, Grimith, London; T. Temple, Vaughan, Chubb, Wynne, Moddard, O. Smith, Donovan, Medley, Dudley, (artist of IMustrated News), Clifford, and T. B.

Poore, of Great Eastern, and Dr. Johnson of ‘Marguretta Stevenson. Ghortly after six o'clock the company, numbering ‘about one hundred ‘fn all, walked into the saloon and took their places around the festive board, Captain An- derson presiding. Cyrus W. Field, Samuel Channing, Captain Halpmm and J. C. Deane acted as Vice Presi- dents ‘The dinnor-wasall that could be desired, and demon- strated that the culinary department of the big ship was in good hands. Aftor the removal of the cloth Captain Anderson pro- posed as the first toast of the evening, “The Queen— God bless her," which was drank with all the honors. Tho second toast was “The President of the United States,” which was received with equal enthusiasm. “The Army aud Navy" was next proposed, and Cap- tain Anderson took occasion to thank in an especial manner the officers of the navy connected with him in the Atlantic cable enterprise. By their cheerful and hearty co-operation he had been not only freed from all embarrassment, but materialiy assisted in tho great ndertaking, which had been brought to 80 glorious a torminatton. Captain Commerell, of the Terrible, responded briefly, oxpreasing himself happy in having been connected with the enterprise in common with the distinguished scientt- fic gontiomen who had conceived and executed it. An officer of the Royal Canadian Rifles said a few words on behalf of the army. s#PRECH OF CAPTAIN ANDERAON. Captain Anderson said the object of the evening was congratulation for the glorious success that had been achieved after so many disheartening reverses. Though he was no speaker, it would argue poverty of thought indood if he allowed the occasion to pass without saying something respecting the success of the Atlantic cable, Ho begged to congratulate all who bad been engaged in the ‘work, but no man living, in his opinion, was deserving of ‘dro credit than Cyrus W. Field, (great applause) to whose nergy, perseverance and active exertions the world was mainly indebted for the great work now so happily ter- minated. It was a proud day for Mr. Field when he could talk with Lesseps in Egypt ix the morning and talk with Now York in the evening, which had occurred since sitting down to the table this evening. He (Cap- tain Andorson) again begged to congratulate the company and to couple with bis congratul we the name of Cyrus W. Field, (cheers) whose health, fortune and re- pose had been freely sactitlceed for the benefit of the world. That he might live long to enjoy the fruits of his indomitable energy, liberality and courage, and the happiness of repose In the Lovom of his family, was the sin core wish of every one present. He (Anderton) ought not to sit down without calling attention-to others deserving of congratulation, The way in which Mr.tGooch managed and attended to the inte of the Ang Aworican telegraph marked bim ae a leading mind ina Very progressive ago. The zeal, enetgy and good disci- lino displayed by the officers and engineers of the Great Eastern wore deserving of oll praise; nor should the services of Kerr, Robinson, Moriarty, Halpin, Channing, Thompron and Smith be forgotten on euch an occasion.

He would ‘beg, however, to thank the company for connecting his name with the sweethearts and wives. This terminated the speaking, and the company ad- journed to the coffee and smoking rooms to enjoy their Mocha and Havanas, and also some fine music, vocal and instramental, besides a little bit of semi-theatrical per- formance, which contributed much to the amusements of the evening. It was midnight before the festivities terminated. 4 GRAND BALL IN PROSPRCT. After the return of the Great Eastern from the work of picking up the old cable subm« in 1965, it is intend- grand ball, in which everybody connected . from the captain down to the boot black, will be permitted to participate. This is one of Mr. Field's original ideas and he intends to it out in his own pecul‘ar manner. The dancing will be-in the two mammoth tanks which lately contained the electric wire, coiled up in thousands of miles. si Torspay, July 31. This is the first fine day since that on which the cable arrived. Nothing particularly interesting lias transpired. During the forenoon Dr. Field, the Lord Bishop of Newfoundland, visited the Great Eastern and was pointed out its wonders, PRESIDENT JONNEON'S MESRAGE. About two P. M. (local time) the President's message to Queen Victoria was received here and immediately transmitted to England over the cable. After the ac knowledgment of its reception by hor Majesty at Os- borne a royal salute of twenty one guns was fired from the Great tern and the American colors were hoisted over the telegraph station. Few people understood the meaning of the salute, and for a long time it was sap- to be in consequence of the reception of some highly important «nd gratifying news. from England Mr. Field also received congratulatory messages from President Johnaon and Secretary Seward, MORE VISITORS, Wepyespay, August 1, 1866, ‘The steamtug Diamond arrived here this afternoon ished visitors on board. in Catholic Bishop of New- Shea, leader of the govern- ment; Woodley Prowse, Esq., member of the Provincial Assembly, and a number of merchants were among the party.

By the latter route, however, is the contrast moat striking. Beantiful farms, thrifty and populous villages and a lovely landscape meet the eye on every hand. No finer agricultural country can be found than this, Chau- tauqua county, embraced‘on its northern side in the aso- tion lying between Cattaraugus creek om the east, and Twenty Mile creek on the west, stands in the front rank for the industry, enterprise and intelligence of its peo- plo, its fino scenery, agricultural advanteges and health- ful climate, A half century ago many a little colony in covered wagons, wending its way from the Nutmeg State to the “ Weatern Reserve” or ‘“‘ New Connecticut," (the then Far Wost,) attracted by the beauty of this spot, tarriod, pitched their tents hereabouts, and here they or tneir descendants yet remain, They had found tho El Dorado of their hope nearer than they expected. According to the census of 1865, the population of the county is63,528, an increase of over 5,000 since 1855. Althouga tho population has not been greatly augmented since 1360, owing chiefly to the war, yet it shows a fair increase as compared with other counties; and there is no donbt the next consus returns will show a still greator increase. The inducements for settlement are 90 vari- ous and so great that we do not look for any considera- ble exodus from here in search of new Ei Dorados. Truo, the proximity of tho oll regions has enticed many of our residents to engage in that unctuous and uncer- tain business, boring foroil, and it is also true that whon- ever they have “struck ile’ and accumulated their pile, they have returned here, built them pleasant homes, and invested their capital in lucrative business enter- prises, There is nothing inviting in the oil country asa piace of residence. The land in that locality is mostly poor, and affords but a meagre subsistence the agri- cultarist. In fact, supplies of the necossaries of I:fe for man’s sustenance have to be imported from abroad, and this affords our farmers a market almost equal to Now York, taking into account the prices paid. The northern part of Chatauqua county, which borders upon Lake Erie, is probably as well suited to wheat rais- ing as the famous Genesseo country. No better wiater wheat is grown anywhere than one finds here; and the crop this year is excellent. Besides wheat, other cereals and root crops grow luxuriantly, and 3 far. A fruitful count table land, varying in width a half to three miles, extendit to the verdurous and woody all promise well is — indeed ‘The kinds cultivated are numerous—Isabella, Cata' Israella, Iona, Concord, Delaware, &c. The latter is just now the ruling favorite. Leaving the level country along the lake shore, and ascending the hilla, we find the country well adapted for grazing and for dairy purposes, Indeed, the latter is a specialty with the more southern portion of the y. Farmers find their account in raisin; cattlo and the manufacture of butter and cheese. Many a rich sirloin, which has extorted the encomiums of New York opicures, acquired its generous ne on the Chautauqua hiils; and many a pound of golden butter, duly marked ‘Orange county,’ was made in the same locality. New Yorkers, like other mortals, are never quite sure of what they eat; but where the cheat is as avers as in this instance there need be n0 com- plaint. Sherman, a small but thriving town, about thirtesa miles south of Westfield, is quite noted as a butter mart. On Weinesday of each week the dairymen of the sur- rounding country bring their producta here, where pur- chasers for the metropolitan and other great markets are found, and a ready sale is effected at remunorative [* prices. Summer tourists from the crowded cities, who princt- pally affect ‘watering places’? in their selections, should remember Chautauqua lake—a perfect little gem, in an emerald setting, and throned upon the Chautaq hills, eight hundred above the level of Lake Erie. Tho disciples of old Tzaak can here find bouncing pick- erel by trolling; and fine bass and perch by dropping thom a line. Piscator can here gratify his penchant as readily as among the wilds of John Brown's Tract or the sources of the Hadsen, without many of the attending discom’orts of aseason at those noted fishing grounds. But I warn him to beware of drawing a seine in these waters; do- mestic legisiation is quite severe in this particular.

But here again legislation interposed—the fish were diminishing toorapidly. Hence an enactment, rigorously observed, putting a stop to all this, The fishermen accordingly “folded their tents, like the Arabs,” and wended their way to other fishing groands, or remain content to catch their fish in the good old-fashioned way.

Pleasure seekers will make a note. by oo of fishing, a large business in this line is done on Lake Erie, off the port of Barcelona, one and a half mile from Westfield. Here the process of catching is by nets (there being no Inw to prevent) sunk deep in the water at a distance of two or three miles from the shore, The results are highly satisfactory to those engaged, and many barrels, chiefly of white fish, are forwarded to the city inarkets, ag well as heavy sales made for home cov- sumpti Save the fishing trade, Barcelona, once a populow bustling lake port, has sunk into torper aud decay. fore the days of railroads, twenty-five or thirty years t was no mean rival to Westfeld in the amount of usines®, Steamers made daily trips there from Buf- lo, loaded with erga oy d freight; sailing craft were always numerous at its wharves; boat building was going on borders, and the place was quite musical with the “clink of hammers closing rivets oP as mingled with the ‘heave oh’’ of the sailor.
