NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
SAVANNAH:
SATURDAY MORN1NU, OCT. Slat.
8AVANNAH
NATIONAL KHIJAN.
In fiiwol tlio grant political changes
that have been wrought throughout our
land daring tho last four years, the events
of the war having swept away the great
element of autagonism which formerly
existed between the two sections, w o
have resolved to send forth our^ sheet
under a new title. Iu adopting the now
name, which wo trust will meet with the
approval of our renders, we are actuated
by a desire to obliterate all traces of
sectionalism, and our future aim will be
to publish a paper which can bo read
with pleasure and protlt at every fireside ;
in the savaunahs of the South and the
icy regions of the North. Our iutcntiou
is to make tho Sacannah National Rcpttb-
lican a cosmopolitan newspaper. The
geuorous support so kindly extended to
us by all classes of our citizens, as well
as by our Northern and Western well
wishers, shall bojreciprocatod by renewed
exertions on our part to render tho S«-
vannah National Republican a welcome
visitor to the family circle, the counting
room and the workshop.
We have identified our interests with
those of Savannah, and while wo may
politically differ and oppose some of our
best and warmest persoual friends, wo
shall strive to keep our columus undefilod
from the Billingsgate slang that frequent
ly mark tho political discussions of the
press. Our patrons may rest assured
that we shall iu futuro os in the past,
continue to lend our aid to tho advocacy
of all just and humane enterprises, and
whatever influence we possess, shall al
ways bo used in oncouraging tho true in
terests of Savannah, Oeorgiu and tho
great American sisterhood of States. We
devote the columns of the Savannah Na
tional Republicar. Pro Bono Publico.
Our advertising friends North and our
exchanges will do us a great personal fa
vor by noticing the ohango of title, and
sending in future all communications to
“The Savannah National Republican. ”
“A Dally Advertising and free Circu
lating Journal,”
called the city advertiser, published in this
city, and which wo believe never until recently
was presumptuous enough to nspiro to the titlo
of a newspaper, has filed in a hoavy bill of ob
jections to our theatrical criticisms. The pu
gilistic “adventurer" who presumes to do the
“heavy business" for the lilliputian “what is
it," and who wields a healthy but angry quill,
has lost his mental equilibrium (if he ever had
any.) Yesterday's advertising programme was
quite varied, and a profound article filled a
column and a half, which was more worthy of
the pages of the North American Review,
Blackwood’s, the Atlantic, Eclectic, or some
other first class magazine, provided the edi
tors of these high-toned journals would permit
such a tissue of brazen-Jaced /u/se/ioods to des
ecrate their columns, as wo unhesitatingly
pronounce the devinc yarn of yesterday in ro‘
lation to the Republican and its editor. For
fear we may be considered bold in branding
the malignant squib a base and malicious
falsehood, we will simply state that at an ear
ly hour yesterday morning Mr. John T. Ray
mond, universally acknowledged to bo not on
ly a first class actor, but a true gentleman,
called at our office, and in presence of two
witnesses, pronounced the whole devinc article
false in every particular, and characterized it as
purely imaginary on the part of the would-be de-
vine scribbler, and that bis boasting pretensions
of having “been at some pains to learn tho
circumstances connected with the card ot Mr.
Raymond" are wilful and false state-
menu. The devine fellow was bold
enough to aseert that he hail beta informed that
at the earnest solicitation of the editor of this
paper, Mr. Raymond had signed a letter prepar
ed by us, is false, and is denied by Mr. Raymond,
whose veracity we prefer to acknowledge in
preference to the insolence of an “adventurer”
who has essayed to do many things, but sel
dom ventures to form a very intimate acquaint
ance with truth for fear of being contaminated.
The press on which the Republican has been
printed since last March was pu« chased by the
editor of this paper, together with all the type,
fixtures and printing materials of the Free
South, from Messrs. Wilkes & Thompson, the
former proprietors of that paper, at an expense
of several thousand dollars. The adroit at_
tempt on the part of this devine tragedian to
rant about [his owning a press “honestly ac
quired, legallii held, and, as he trusts, properly
used," has created a great deal of merriment
among those who know the real pedigree of the
egotistical falsifier. The only press bo ever
owned was the financial press-ure of board and
washer-women’s bills, and he shows bad taste
to prate about honestly owning anything, when
he has told a base falsehood and arrogantly
attempted to make the public believe Mr. Ray
mond was the author. For such a man to talk
about legally holding anything is absurd, and
we would advise him to endeavor to legally”
hold an honest pen, which of course will require
considerable practice from one unaccustomed
to the business. We are not surprised that a
pen hsld by such devine hands, should con
tinually slip through tho fingers of a machine
poet, whose diatribes on the mimic stage have
harrassed many a victimized audience as badly
as the labored effusions that bare from time to
time emanated from the would-be fertile imagi
nation of the individual who hss written these
palpable falsehoods. Borne spirit other than a
devins one must bare inspired the writer while
he was racking his disordered brain to produce
so denim a production. About this sagacious
personage ueiog a press properly, we are en-
lightened. Of COWH it is perfectly proper to
prostitute ibe press, no matter bow small it may
be, to deeeeminata falsehoods; but here we diffar
with tho devine adventurer who is following
after something worse we fear than the “wake
of an army.” We are no* quite sure but what
it is as honorable aud legal So be “backed up
by thoee then in power," as the anonymous
writer insolently slurs the United Sutea Gov
ernment and lie officers, as to be backed by
unblushing assurance and a wholesale stock of
falsehood. Wo sincerely trust that the power
of *Hbat army," which, to use the refined and
elegant phraseology of the “incensed anony
mous," “backed ns up," or tho Government
it defended from destruction, will lako no arbi
trary steps for these foul insinuations of the
devine non-romatible man. Hope the angry
quill-driver don’t expect to “back us down’’
with his devine epistolary efforts. “Pushing a
,/cvine prerogative" is certainly a new and de-
vine idee, aud tho prolific brain of the devine
genius who gave birth to tho invention should
be rewarded with letters patent of the devine
stamp.
Will tho “profound gentleman" inform us
how the prerogatives look “that blow hot and
cold in the same breath,’ 1 to which ho alludes
in his laborious production? Wo under
stand that he is one of tho “blowing’’ kind,
but we were not aware his name was il devine.
prerogative." It is a high sounding title for a
man of small intellectual calibre to lay claim
to, especially in a community where his real
status is so well known as it is in Savannah.
The originality of this devine fellow is very
clever, and is really worthy of more notice
than wo can give it in this article. For in
stance, he calls publishing a just and inde
pendent dramatic criticism administering
•pills' 1 to the actors, and the bestowal of praise
whero it is justly due, "sugaring the pill."—
The fact of it is, the dramatic Macbeth pilj
we gavo our weak and languishing patient has
made him vory sick, and he raves iu his fitful
brain fever iu a manner anything but devine.
It was a bitter pill, and we do not think it ad
visable to give the patient any sugar while ho
displays such alarming symptoms of the “de
lirious treemendous."
While in his lunatic mood the crazy fellow
paints solemn processions of discontented
merchants moving in funereal style to the
tones of a mournful dirge, bearing aloft tho
black banners, “Death to the Savannah Na
tional Republican,*' “No more advertisements
in tho Bavamtah National Republican." Could
insanity further go ? Wbilo he raves ho fan
cies he hears the steady tramp of advertisers
singing li te deums,” but no to do urns to the
glorification of “jo advertiser."
We believo that it is Lacon who says “it is
almost ns ditlicnlt to make a man unlearn his
errors as his knowledge, and that rnal-informa-
tion is more hopeless than non-information,
for error is always more busy than ignorance."
What, then, can we hopo to make out of a
man who has betrayed an entire lack
of that valuable acquisition called knowledge ?
Ignorance is a blank sheet ou which we may
write ; but error is a scribbled one trom which
we must first erase- If this be true this devine
man will have considerable erasing to do before he
eradicates all of bis glaring errors. We are told
that ignorance is coutonted to stand still with her
back to the truth; but error is more presumptu
ous, and proceeds iu tbe same direction, and we
therefore appropriately term our stage struck,
machine poet ot devine descent, (not African) Mr.
derindy ignorant error. Tho intellectual bud ol
this imaginary writer first shone forth in all its
bright poetic effulgence last January while “that
army" of which be now speaks so insultingly
was enoamped in this city. Tbe deviiw capital
or thesis of this writer with tbe exceedingly vivid
imagination, but elightually “disordered mind,"
was manufactured out of the reputation ot tbe
former editor of this paper. We are informed
also that the editor used bis influence to save the
gallant fellow from tbe voracious clutches ol tbe
Conscripting officer of tbe Confederate army.
Should occasion call for it we can show this
devine author tbe receipted bills for the rent:
ges bills, water bills, tuel bills, repairs and other
expenses ot tbe building wo bare occupied since
December last. We have a weakness for paying
our printers and all other bills. We had a perfect
right to purchase new type,new pi esses and other
printing material,even though such a step should
meet with the displeasure ol the devine man We
don't require his devine approral to exist on t k
mundune sphere, nor shall we tremble wIk .be
vials of bis devine. wrath are poured ou* _ on us
through the columns of the “Sav' .n Thun
derer.” We shall in lutare remain quiescent now
that wehuve realized that the destinies of theSavan-
uah press are closely watched by a devine modern
Socrates who stands erect on tbe apex of wis
dom, and guides us into tbe Elysian fields of
intellectual bliss where noue but the truly dtsine
can enter in. We hope tbe ilevine truth muy
yet be beard elsewhere thou in tbe columns of
tho “free circulating medium,’’ which is a
medium affair presided overby a devine pres-
tigiator. Let it be known that we have a devine
Bourbon among us whose spirit is as strong ns
his influence and opinions. Let marble pillars
tell the glorious works of ye divine Savannah
poet, and may bis prose works dedicated to the
editor ol tbe Savannah National Republican, be
bound in full calf like tboir would be illustrous
author, and handed down as rich mementoes of
of a genius that once lived and bad bis being in
historic old Savannah. Let it be known that
tbe aforesaid pugilistic insinuating devine was a
protege of the devine “race of irritable poets'”
fit!" N. B.—Tbe devinc author who has made
so signal a failure iu essaying to speak the truth
for sensible men, is respectfully notified that it
did not require four assistant devines to indita
this rambling sketch, neither did it require “two
days laborious effort,” notwithstanding we lack
a dicine In our office.

of tbe only “cuts" the devine writer has received ?

Bacon, Ac. -There bas been but little general
ebungo in tbe market for Bnoon, but we believe
tbe tendency of prices is downward. Tha de
mand for the interior trade has remained about
tbe same, owing to the low stage of the river
which bas prevailod for some time; a rise, how-
over, having taken place we mny look lor more
lively times. Some Sides and Shoulders have
been sold at 22c. We quote, however, as last

Goshen, 53a5Gc per pound.
Corn.—During the week the market has been
a little more active than for some time past, and

exists, but the stock on sale is fully equal to th°
demand. Our figures will give a fair index o^
the market, vix : Ohio, 810 25al0 60; Family

very limited, and we still quote $9al0 per bb I.
Fisu—Thoro is an nbuudant supply of North
ern Fisb now ou tbe market, aud new Mackere;
is beginning to reach us in considerable quanti
ties, but little demand exists at present, owing to
the couditiou of the river which prevents stoutn-
ers except ot tbe lightest draft from ascending.

coutinue very light, and tbe stock on sale is
therefore very limited. There are a few barrels
East India Rice on tbe market, which is held at
