The attention of the -whole country is
turned to onr next Congress, aml many
speculation, have been indulged in as to
what is likely to be the results of its de
liberations. Some have asserted, with pro
phetic assuranoe, that this will be, w e
others are no less sanguine that a very
opposite course will be adopted ; and
there is still another class, largely in the
majority, who feel that they have already
done so well that failure is impossible.
Certain it is that no greater responsi
bilities were ever placed on the shoulders
of any body of men than have been as.
signed to those composing the comiDg
Congress, unless in a commendable spu'd
of admiration for the great and good1 of
the past wo find occasion to yield the
palm to that which gave birth to our li
berties, and laid the foundation of our
present and future greatness. The plan
of restoration in which our highest inter
est* hre involved, will, through them, re
ceive the crucial test which is to decide
upon its merits- It is needless to say
that this decision will embrace nearly, if
not quite all the questions of peculiar
significance to the South which have agi
tated the minds of our people since the
close of the war. This constitutes but a
part of the work they will be called on
to perform, though it will, of right and
necessity, receive their first, aud, for the
time, most exclusive attention. Subjects
of the gravest magnitude will present
themselves only of less importance to us,
because in their effect they are more gen
eral and wide-spread—national and qpt
looal. These touch our economy and in
ternational relations, and will demand in
their consideration the highest wisdom
those obstruse and perplexing sciences
have ever required and received.
This brief outline,. imperfect as it is,
of the duties to be discharged, will sure
ly suggest that there will be no time for
child’s play—for the petty bickerings and
fruitless discussions that have so often
disgraced oar legislative halls, and may
lead to the expectation that a becoming,
■high-toned, dignified bearing will be a
prominent characteristic of the session.
While we cannot form any reliable esti
mate of the ability that will be brought
into requisition, we have reason to feel
confident it will prove commensurate
with the difficulties of the task to be per
formed. It is possible to take individual
cases and argue from them that the ablest
have been elected to represent the
men
people in both Houses, but this
would not meet the requirements
of the oase, and fail to give sat.
isfaction. We would, indeed, prefer
to rest our belief pn tha well ac
credited truism, that “times make men,
aud that in this emergency, little will be
wanting which we could, in reason, ask
or expect. It is equally difficult to fix
upon those who are destined to attain to
special prominence, and by virtue of an
irresistible, controlling genius, assume
direction of affairs. The firmest sup
porters and wisest counsellors of the
government, while at war, may prove ut
terly incapable of grappling successfully
with the new work which is likely to call
i nto action other and very different qual
ities of heart and mind. Just as those
who are most efficient in staying the pro -
gress of a confiscation, may, oftentimes,
be most unfit to undertake to repair the
damage done. It makes little difference
by whom it is done—we care not so it is
done and well done. Sncli is our faith in
Andrew Johnson and liis Cabinet, in the
wisdom and good policy of the -measure
adopted to secure the speedy return of
all the States to a full enjoyment of their
rights under the Constitution—measures
recently endorsed by large majorities in
the north—that we cannot doubt the ul
timate success which is to be the crown
ing glory of alL
Our object in introducing the subject,
was two-fold, and would be but half ac
complished if we failed to advert to what
we conceive to be some of the duties of
our people in the present instance! Jus
tice Alesop was of the opinion that no of
ficer of his Majesty, the King, should in
terfere to prevent a breach of the law,
that his Majesty’s subjects might not be
wanting for examples to impress upon
their minds that there were such things
as law, king and king’s officials. Those
who choose, may be Alesopian. We
would not, for any hope of gum or favor.
It is the duty of every man—one he
owes to the community at large-not only
to strive to correct abuses where they ex -
ist, but to save trouble by preventing
them if possible, providing always, he
does not overstep himself by infringing
on the rights of others.
If our Convention has done all that
its friends claim for it—if it has done
nothing that will retard the interests of

for the present,- we cannot do more ^ nor

To the Editor Savannah National Repnpfican :

will make an appeal to all classes of our
citizens, which I hope will be a success
ful one.
Respectfully yours,
K. D. Arnold,
Mayor of Savannah.
Nov. 15, 1865.
The letter of His Honor Mayor Arnold,
correcting the error in onr editorial par
agraph of yesterday, renders a generous
response to the orphan’s appeal an im
perative necessity, and we sincerely trust
that it will be our pleasure to record an
immense audience in attendance this
afternoon if the weather be fair.—
There is a solemn obligation resting
upon every individual in our com
munity to do all in his power to
alleviate the suffering and want of the
Motherless and Fatherless. “He that

then let us fail not to remember the pit

upon the simple claims of Immunity, and
it must be answered in the true spirit,
worthy of the liberality aud magnanim

Commercial EaterprlH~>Wlial Bal
timore Is Doing.
The steamship Fannie, the consort of
the North Point in the Baltimore and
Savannah line of steamships, which arri
ved at this port on Monday last, is a tine
propeller steamship of about 500 tons,
having good passenger accommodations
and capacity for a large cargo. The Fan
nie is commanded by Capt. Cator, a
thorough seaman and an accomplished
gentleman. Daring the passage out, the
Fannie experienced a very heavy gale,
which proved her qualities as a staunch
sea-going vessel.
The Baltimore and Savannah line is
now fully established, and, we are glad to
chronicle, is meeting with deserved suc
cess, offering, as it does, peculiar advan
tages to the merchants of Savannah and
the interior. Jit should* be understood
thut goods shipped by this line are check
ed through from New York, at the same
rates by the New York lines, thereby
saving time and expense. The agents in
this city, Messrs. West, Bryan & Co., are
gentlemen of known experience in com
mercial affairs, and require no further
notice at our hands. Every facility will
be offered by the agents to those doing
business with this line,
We also understand it is the intention
of the owners of the line to place two
fast and light draft steamers on the river,
to run in connection with their ocean
steamships. These boats, the Fannie
Leper and the Minnie Brandt, are now
eu route for Savannah, and the agents are
hourly looking for their arrival. This
will be a great accommodation to our
merchants in the interior, as their goods
will be forwarded without delay.
We hope our merchants, and others in
terested in the commercial prosperity of
Savannah, will patronize and liberally
contribute to sustain this noble enter
prise. We should aid them in their ef
forts to keep up steam communication
between our city and Baltimore.

. Onr city was visited with quite » refresh
ing shower yesterday afternoon. Daring the
evening quite a heavy dew-descended, and the
atmosjjisre was quits moist.
Sax Fmanusco, Oct. 13, 1863.
The new and magnificent steamer Yosemite, of
the California Steam Navigation Company, Su
cramento and San Francisco line, was blown into
a perfect wreck by the explosion of one of her
boilers last evening on her downward trip to this
city. She wus lying at the wharf at Rio Vista at
tbe time of the catastrophe. It is reported that
forty of her passengers have bee-i killed and many
were wounded. It is supposed that the cause oi
the catastrophe wus the neglect to letofl steam
while tbe boat was lymg at the wharf.
Tbe following is a copy of the dispatch receiv
ed by the Navigation Company :
Saokamixto, Oct, 13 8 A.M.

The following particulars of the attack upon

the New Orleans Times of October 30, folly
confirm the telegraphic report of the affair pub
lished in the Herald of November 2 ;
Tbe United States derpatch boat Eliza Han-

rived here this morning. Among her passen
gers were General Steele and staff. To Lieut.
Kent, of tbe staff, we would express onr thanks
for valuable courtesies.
Before leaving Galveston General Steele re
ceived the following telegraphic despatch from
General Weitzel, at Brownsville:
October 25, I8C5.
Major General Steele :
As far as I can learn Escobedo reconnoitred
Mejia’s lines this morning. General Ynoza
misunderstood the orders and attacked tbe fort
below the town, his column being led by about
seventy Americans. They carried the works
with little loss, because, as the imperialists say,
the garrison ran ont of ammunition. Mejia in
person, with his favorite troops, charged and
retook tbe works, punishing the liberals pretty
well. General Ynoza and several officers and
<juite a number of men (liberals) are here
wounded. Tbe light lasted about three boars,
and is now over.
Everything quiet. Liberals say they will
make an attempt in force to-morrow. Will
keep you posted as 1 get information.

The Imperial Account.
| From the Matamoras Itanchero extra (Imperial
organ,) Oct. 25, P, M J
At five o’clock this morning tbe outlaws made,
us was expected, an assault on the fortifications
surrounding the pity, they appeared at differ
ent points in small force, leaving it a matter of
doubt whether attack or feint was intended. At
length a charging party was found to attack in
earneat the artillery pickets at the southwest part
of tbe city. The charging party made op in
desperation what they lacked in numbers for a
time. The artillery picket was forced back,
leaviDg their guns behind. At thigjunc-ure the
gunboat Pariano, commanded by Colonel AnBel-
mo Grnbie, steamed down tbe river to the assault
ed point, and by a well directed fire pat the out
laws to High', when tfle artillery pickets retook
their gnus and opened on the dying outlaws. At
the same time the fort, mmmsnded by onr con
temporary, Senor Dor Miguel Pena, opened a
shocking fire upon tbe outlaws, and, though at
loDg taw, aided the gunboat in clearing the
chaparral ol the last scamp. General Mejia,
learning that a heavy assault was making on one
of the forts, put himself at the head of five hun
dred cavalry and galloped down to the assaulted
point, and arrived just in time to see tbe fieeiog
outlaws disappear in the chaparral. Wh'le tbe
charge was being made gt the lower end ot tbe
line a fur ous artillery and musketry fire was
being kept up on the upper forts, bat without
effecting anything. Fully one thousand men
were lead against these torts. The forts main
tained a heavy fire upon the outlaws and kept
them at a respectable distance. An imperial
cavalry force went up to see bow things were go
ing, where so much smoke was risiug, and upon
seeing the situation ot affaire, with Gen. Mejia
at their head, dashed in and put the rascals to
flight, taking from them one gun. Altogether
the firing continned for two boars, when it > ied
oat. The imperial troops maintained their envi
able reputation admirably.
The citizens responded nobly, and were on
hand for a fight, in which they were disap
pointed. If possible, the confidence in Gener
al Mejia was augmented. Although fifty-
eight prisoners were taken and large numbers
of outlaws killed and wounded, the imperial
loss was several wounded and less than a doz
en killed. A considerable quantity of ammu
nition, abandoned by the fleeing outlaws, has
been captured. Tbe Captain of tbe gunboat
Antonia, jnst arrived from below, reports the
outlaws swimming the river in great numbers
and in the utmost consternation.
General Espinoza, second in command in
the outlaw army, is killed, and bis body is in
tbe bands of the imperialists. General Mejia
has just returned from the front, where he was
from tbe beginning of the fight until the com
mon enemy of mankind disappeared. The
very latest from the front leaves tbe imperial
ist Troops in pursuit of tbe fleeing outlaws.—
It is reported apon very good authority that
General Hinojosa was wounded and taken to
Brownsville. Reports from Brownsyille justi
fy us in saying that the outlaw loss exceeds
fire hundred men in killed and wounded.

[From the Florence ndence of

King Victor Emanuel gave an audience to
tbe Mexican Ambassador on the 23d, when the
representative of Maximilian addressed the
King as follows:
The great affection of the Emperor Maxi
milian for your Majesty causes him to regret
that so long an interval should have elapsed
without his being represented at your Majes
ty’s court. Tbe Emperor hopes that tbe bonds
of amity now existing between the two young
sovereigns may be drawn still closer.”
The King replied;
“I wish all happiness to the Emperor, to his
family and io Mexico. The present relations
between Italy and Mexico cannot hot grow
more and more satisfactory, and you will al
ways find me disposed to promote the same as
far as possible.”

man—this kind hearted and genial gentleman—
this scholar and poet—this orator and legisla
tor and judge—this editor and embryo histo
rian—we deplore our incompetency to pat in
words what we feel and wish to express.
We enjoyed the pleasure and honor of an
intimate personal acquaintance with him since
1840. He has ever proved to us,as he has to
many, a warm hearted friend; one who sought
not to detect faults and errors in thte with
whom he has associated, bat was ever r«
to throw the mantle of charily over t
short comings.
He was modest and tmassnming. His hand
was ever ready to help tbe struggling, who
sought bis advice or his assistance. Courteous,
affable aud kind to all who came in contact
with him, he has passed to bis grave honored,
beloved, and deplored to aH who knew him.
Abler pens than ours, we trust, wiH do justice
to his memory.—Columbus (Afiss.) Sentinel, *
