Restoration Of Civil Government.
Yesterday we witnessed an important
event, ime which will take a conspicu
ous place in the future history of Sav
annah. After a period of four years of
Military rnle, during which time astound
ing changes have been miraculously
wrought by the sword and through the
agencies of war, the military power of the
United States which has governed ohr
city so far, as its local laws were concern
ed, ceases and the civil rule will govern
Us hereafter. It is, of course, too soon
yet to estimate wheather the change will
work us good, dr be productive of evil.
The assumption of the reins of civil pow
er by His Honor Mayor Arnold, will na
turally involve the “City Fathers in a
peculiar, and we should think unpleasant
dilemma. To attempt to control and
govern a city the size of Savannah, w ith-
out a dollar iu the Treasury is a task
equal to the labor of Sisyphus, and " ith
out the strictest ecomomy is exercised
in all the various departments, and the
ecessary taxes that are unpaled, promp-
>0fL by our citizens, a speedy return to
military rule is inevitable.
What is now required of the people is
a cheerful voice apd ready acqusescenee
to the new condition of affairs which
now surround us. If the rowdy element
in our city is promptly and severely
dealt with,as justice demands, we have
,io f,‘^1 i's of the gradual return of peace
and prosperity to Savannah, but if a
pack of villains are allowed to carry con
cealed weapons and make premeditated,
cowardly attacks, “with intent to kill,”
upon respectable Northern men, and
then be placed under $200 bonds, we need
not look for peace or safety to either our
I iy?s or property. We want an efficient
police force, composed of brave and
honest, men who will not hesitate to do
justice to all, “though the Heavens
should fall.” Place none but men of
.sterling character and temperate habits
on duty as guardians of the public peace;
but it order to induce upright ment to re
main on the police, fair compensation
must be allowed. Fifty dollars a month
is a penurious sum to offer a man for his
arduous services as police, with the ex -
pectation that they will be able to sup
port a family, is simply absurd, for it
cannot- be doue. Bo long as thi? paltry
sum is offered for police duty, no man of
character or ambition will care to en ter
such service except as a dernier resort,
when all the other avenues of employ -
ment are closed.
It is useless to deny that the war has
not had a demoralizing effect throughout
our whole country. A careful perusal of
the columns of the daily press revealing a
sad picture of universal depravity.,-The
war has aroused all the worst passions of
man, has contaminated society until we
see" the social fabric suffering from all the
evils of civil war.
We have no advice to give, but it
should certainly be the constant aim of
every good citizen to counsel implicit
obedience to all local and national laws,
and let each individual realize not only
the importance but the imperative neces
sity of relinquishing all further resistance
to the laws and to the decrees of fate.
Arrival of
Perilous
Pay your taxes readily, for without this is 11 le - lwo substantial and fast propeilars and
tbe Richmond, an elegant and -commodious
done, the aid of bayonets will have to be
invoked to qpforce their prompt payment.
We have passed through the fiery ordeal,
and there are but few in our midst who
have not, during the last four years, trod
the rugged path. The policy ef the Fed
eral Government is too clearly defined to
require any elucidatron at our bauds, aud
it now becomes’us all, as loyal inhabit
ants, to cease bickering, and, looking the
stubborn facts sternly in the face, prove
our good intentions for the future by dis
carding every word and thought .that
tends to engender bitterness and to re
call those dreadful events through which
we have just passe d.
If the spirit of concord prevails among
our people civil rule will be a blessing;
but if the rawings of demagogues is al
lowed, and the insolence of rowdies to
lerated we may look for anarchy and
bloodshed. We enter upon an entire
new existence as a Nation, and in our city
we behold vast changes -and alterations
with which it will take years to become
accustomed, The ’antagonism between
the Northern and Southern born citizens'
must not be propagated. Experience
has taught us better, and we should has
ten to profit by its teachings. Restrain
our political prejudices, aud passion
subsiding, we shall witness a change and
revolution of idess worthy of an intellec
tual and refined race of people. With
“Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation” in
all things, civil law will be a blessing
without it, a curse.
We hear a great deal of complaint about the
want of sleeping accommodations on some of
oar river and coast steamers—particularly
tbe Florida packets. We are satisfied that it is
no fault of the captains or owners of these
vessels, that pasaengers a"re not more amply
provided for in this respect, it is almost im-
possible to furnish beds, or even bedding, to all
who travel on these boats/as they are invaria
bly crowded from stem to stern with par-
nengers when they either 'leave or arrive st
this port. The only way to remedy this de
fect that we can see, U to have more steamers
ft the pads. f
the Chase—A
Voyage.
The Steamship Chase, Captain Roatbe, from
New York, arrived at this city yesterday eve
ning. We are indebted to the Purser, Mr.
Miller, for the following details of the events on
ber remarkable and fearful voyage from New
York to this Pork The Chase left New York on
Saturday, the 21st ult. She had fair and pleas
ant weather, until she reached the vicinity of
Cape Hatterss. Some sixty miles south of Uat-
teras took the gale, with 9 '*, wind from E N E.
with a very heavy sea running. The ship was
hove to. The sea stove in several of her side
lights, and at 8% o’clock,'on Monday evening, it
was found that the ahip had four feet of water in
her hold. The fires were extinguished in the
furnaces, in consequence ol which, steam could
not be kept up. The coal in 'the bunkers was
likewise shitted by tbe lurching of tbe ship into
the bilges and-«nong the machinery, and every
thing wore a most gloomy aspect. At ten P. M.,
the ship tell over oo her starboard beam ecds (
causing a fearful panic among the timid passen
gers. Previous to this mishap however, the crew
had commenced to bail water with buckets, all
hands on board lendfog vigorous assistance in
the work. The ports were finally closed after
the greatest difficulty, aud tbe crew gradually
gamed on the flow of water. Oo Wednesday
morning it was found necessary to lighten ship,
aud the Captain rommeaced throwing over car
go In the evening of that day the ship was par
tly righted. On Thursday the crew continued
to thiow over cargo; and the Chase gradually
righting and assuming her proper position, the
water in her hold was soon leduced from four
feet to twelve iuches. Tbe boiler, which was in
jured, was Anally repaired, and the ill-fated craft
proceeded to make steam at 2 P. M. The Chase
then signaled a steamer, and in speaking her, she
got foul of the starboard quarter. The Chase
then shitted her course for Beaufort, N. C., for
the purpose of obtaining a supply of coal; where
she arrived at 3 P. M.. on Saturday last. Took
in suflicient coal, and left at 2 P. M. on Monday,
for Savannah; arrived at this port at 4>£ P. M.,
yesterday afternoon. The Chase had a valuable
caigo on board ; and abont 150 tons of freight
were consigned to the waves. The trip was one
of those thrilling episodes that occasionally oc
cur in the course of one’s life, and the terrified
passengers will never forget the gale off Hat-
tera3.
Another Addition - to onr Steam
marine.
IFe take pleasure in noticing the fine pro
peller steamship North Point, Capt. Smith,
which arrived here Tuesday from Baltimore j
after being only 48 hours at sea. The North
Point is a fine specimen of Naval architecture,
and was built in Baltimore, so famous for her
tine model clipper vessels, in 18(Jo. The
North Point is owned by Messrs. M. C. Smith,
J. J. Abrams and others ; iq 165 feet in length,
feet breadth of beam and 17 feet depih of
hold. She is 452 tons burthen, with a carrying
capacity equal to 4500 barrels. Her machinery,
which was built in Philadelphia, consists of
one low pressure boiler, 14 feet long and 10 j
fe^t in diameter; one low pressure engine 40
inches in diameter, with 3 feet stfoke, 2 feet
pumps, Hi inch plunge, 15 inch stroke, worked
by main engine, two fire pumps, 4 inch di
ameter of plunge and 8 inch stroke, and sup
plied with two metallic lifeboats and every
convenience for the safety of passengers.
Her accommodations for passenger s are un
surpassed. The staterooms are neatly furnish
ed, and the saloons, of which there are two,
fore and aft, are ali that could be desired by
the most fastidious. Tbe North Point can ac
commodate sixty first class passengers, and in
a case of emergency could arrange far double
that number.
Captain Smith is a thorough gentleman,
and we have no doubt will render himself pop
ular with the merchants of the two cities and
the travelling community generally. 'The
NorthPoint is consigned to Messrs. I Pest,
Bryan & Co., of this city.
The establishment of this new line marks
another important era in the commercial histo
ry of our city, and tends to corroborate the
statement that Savannah is fast gaining ber
lost prosperity, and is now second in the South
only to New Orleans in commercial impor
tance. The new company comprise some of the
shrewdest and most enterprising business men
of Baltimore, and when the three steamers are
in full operation we predict success to the
laudable.enterprise which our merchants are
bound in all houor to properly sus'tain.
The new Baltimore line consists of three
elegant steamers—the North Point and Fan-
side wheel steamer, which will shortly malfe
her first trip to this city.
One of the desirable features of this line, is
the fact that passengers save a journey of 200
miles by water, a desideratum of great impor
tance during the winter season. To persons
desirous of visiting Wellington, Baltimore,
Philladelphia, or New York, the line offer 8
great inducements, ticketing passengers and
freight through to New York without extra
charge.
The officers of the North Point are gentle-
in the fullest sense of the word, and passen
gers may rest assured that nothing Will be
lett undone which can coaduce to their comfort.
Wes Sy Bryan <£, Co., are the Savannah Agents
for the new line, aud this house enjoy a reputa
tion second to no commercial establishment
jn our city, for liberality and urbanity towards
-their travelling public. They are sagacious
and upright business men, long and favorably
known to our oldest citizens for their
integrity in all transactions. The prestige of the
house will be incresed by the presence of
Mr. A. L. Hart ridge, of our city, a high toned
gentleman with whom courtesy appears to be
a predominant trait, and whose demeanor to
tends to win rather than repel the confidence
of the public.
We have promised to lend our support to
this line and we trust onr merchants will give
it a fair trial and thus help to sustain so val
uable an acquisition to our commerce.
Treasury Department.

This flourishing little city is steadily
looming up. New buildings are rapidly
springing up in every direction, notwith-. rrrr-jj
standing the great difficulty in obtaining
building material, and the city bids fair
to supersede any other in the State in
point of commercial importance. It is
truly surprising to see the vast quantity
of cotton and other valuable products
that are constantly pouring^ in there fo*
shipment, and the equally vast amount
of goods brought to her wharves in tran
sit for the interior. All the hotels in the
place are daily thronged almost beyond
their capacity of accommodation, and
the numerous stores, shops, <fcc., exhibit
the most cheering business • activity.
This speaks well for Florida, as it shows
that her people are determined to rise
superipr to the late calamity that has be
fallen them.. The desolating effects of
war are rapidly disappearing and Being
forgottan among the Floridians, and
thus it should be with the people of every
other State in the South. Our watch
word should be “onward 1 onward ! !---
forget the past, and think only for v the
future.”

obliged to take the train to Mahon immediately, 1
could get nothing more than a cursory glance at
the broken down wails in the immediate neigh
borhood of tbe railway station, after which I
stumbled, as best 1 could, through broken iron
and large stones which had belonged to former
constructions no longer in existence, until I
reached the tram for Macon, from which place 1
arrived here,
which I aui unable to say anything, all those pla
ces 1 have mentioned appeared to me to have a
somewhat gloomy, broken down appearance. In
Augusta, particularly, there is a stillness which
is truly astonishing; and one would almost think,
on passing through, that it was a town lately
stricken down by plague. Doubtless the ab
sence of all business on Sunday tended con
siderably to give it that appearance, and as that
was tbe day 1 spent there, 1 am not able to
give an account of bow business was going on.
Here. I am told, business is progressing
rapidly, and indeed, the place gives some in
dication of a stir, and once on tbe move, every
body is aware how quickly improvement in
that lino advances. Tbe State House presents
the most interesting feature in Milledgeville.
Tbe damage done to it was, comparatively speak
ing, of atrivial character. The magazine and
stores in tbe neighbourhood of tbe State House
were all destroyed. All the documents having
reference to the war were take* out and burned
in large heaps, aud tbe appearance of tbe yard
of the State House presents a carious spectacle
of half burned leaves, torn parchment, and
ashes covering, nearly tbe whole yard. If one
had but time and patience enough to search
through these half burned leaves and docu
ments, some of which arc whole, a volume
of interesting matter might, perhaps,
he compiled, Some of those half burned docu
ments were curious aud mtcrestiug ia tbe ex
treme^ and ainoDgst’others 1 louud almost whole,

of tbe Georgia Rebel and Hospital Association
to the Governor aud General As.embiy ol Geof
gia, with the proceedings of the Board, convened

Report is peculiarly interesting, inasmuch as l
shows the tearfnl condition in wffich the Confed
erate TroojRi were placed, during the early part
of the war, for want of proper hospital accorn
modation and medical attendance. It also gives
an excellent lesson on the working ot such an as.
sociatiou, and the benefits derived from it in time
of war. Tbe'financial resources oi tbe ussocia*
tinn were suprising, and the details oi private
contributions, both in raiment and clothing for
tbe_relief of wonnded showing also the exertion 8
ot the Georgia ladies in cooking supplies, and at'
tending the hospitals, form a feature of consider
able interest. The donations to this Association

from this pamphlet, which will not be without
some interest to your readers.

In Yorksville, 8. (J., Oct. 18th, at the age of 34, Mrs.

aud thebeloved wife of Dr. J. P. Ghazal,of Charleston.
, Milledgeville, Oct. 25.
I arrived here yesterday, alter a round about
and fatiguing journey through a section of coun
try which I will refer to briefly; The railway
traveling from the Savannah depot. and on
through the forest to Station four and a half, was
aU that could be desired ; and the public are
greatly indebted to the Central Railway Company
for the accommodation they afforded in so short
a time and under such trying circumstances. If
the trains ran a little.slower than in the good
old times, it is only very natural that such should
biaexpected until such time as will do away with
that necessity. Owiug to tbe line being unfinish
ed between Four aud a hair and Waynesboro’, a £l'f»p’T7’ QTlfl 'R PflTOTl
distance of 64 miles, the" passengers were obliged «7 " ■***
to proceed in bucks through the forest to Waynes*
boro’. The traces of the war were numerous
and of a'guddeuing character; broken bridges,
and houses burnt d to the ground; with buMet
marks among the trunks of trees, and in the
branchee, were but too frequently met with.
Along portions ot the route taken by Sherman
and his army, the graves of a few poor soldiers
were here and there to be met with, marked by
initials, rudely cut on the stumps of trees, and id
some cases a stone or log of wood was carelessly
thrown upon the slightly raised earth, or sand Of
the forest, without any initials, or a single letter
to indicate who the ffeuant of ihe grave was. It
would appear as if those who paid -bat last trib
ute to the dead soldier, considered, that in such
sandy soil the spot where they buried him would
lose tbe appearance of a grave, with that same
rapidity as he hims^f would be forgotten. Ar
rived at Waynesboro’, all the passengers, some
of whom were ladies, and many of tbe
gentlemen were delegates to the Convention,
quitted the hacks, and, after a good sapper, took
tbe train on to Augusti, where we arrived at 5
o’clock on Sunday morning, and, on the follow
ing mot nmg, ( Monday,) took the train again for
Atlanta, it being absolutely necessary to go that
round in order to reach Milledgeville, owing, as
yon are aware, to the unfinished state of the rail
ways. All the way the same sreoe presented it
self Nearly all tbe branches of the line wo were
traveling on were broken up—engines actually
smashed in pieces, with broken carriages, were
lying in all directions, which, together with tb*
broken bridges, burned houses and anils, gave
feariut evidence of the fury of acivil war. Being
night when we arrived at Aliama, your corres
pondent, amongst others, was unable to see much
of the destruction in that tuvv'n ; besides, being

Millbdgsville, Oct. 30, 1865,
The Convention met at half paat nine o’clock
this day.
A Telegram was received from tbs President of
the United States relative to repudiation, also a
communication from SecretaryJSeward on the
yame snbjeot.
The President in his deapateb said the people
of Georgia should not hesitate one moment in re
pudiating tbe debt incurred in carrying on tbe
rebellion, and that those who bad annk their
oapital in it, should aocept it as one of the oonse-
qnenees of the war.
The eomannieation of Secretary Seward aaW
there was no hope of Georgia’s getting back into
the Union without jr.
The despatch and communication were re
ferred to the Committee of Sixteen.
Mr. Saffold introduced an Ordinance repudia
ting the debts of the State of Georgia, oontracied
