New York, Not. 22.
fly the City of London steamer from Liverpool
on the 8th instant, wo hare news to that date,
and from Queenstown on the 9th. The pirate
ship, the Shenandoah, was surrendered by Capt.
Waddell to a British war-ship, and he and his
new were released on parole. The ship was to
be «iven up to the United States authorities, but
the Captain and men are not to be surrendered.
They suffered great privations on board, and
a, re reduced to a state of starvation at the time
ot the surreuder. The Bussell Cabinet was com
pleted and fully installed in office. Captain
Lay lor, the American officer who had been ar
rested in Queenstown on a charge of Fenianism,
has been ■•‘.acharged, and his revolver, ammuni-
ti.i& end stationery returned to him. The Lon
don Times called the arreBt “an untoward
event." An oil spring has been discovered in
England, which, it is said, will “astonish the
world." Justice Fitzgerald has been objected to
bj the Fenian prisoners lor trial, on the ground
that as he was one of the Privy Council by whom
proclamations and offers of reward had been
issued against them, he was aofit and dts-
, aliped from presiding on the bench of justice
to try men for their lives. The accounts from
I ans were that cholera had entirely subsided.
In the Bourse Rentes were at 68f 25c. In Lon
don Consols were dull and lower, quoted at
-- T-Sa'P, and all securities were in a depressed
slate. American 5 20*8, 63 3-4a64. Gold in
l.ondon was cheaper by 2-10 per cent, th^n in
Puns, and in London and Hamburg the valn e
was equal. The news from India was not oP any
particular import. In Bombay cotton was steady
in supply and demand, 25,000 bales having been
shipped to Europe during the fortnight pre
ceding the JOth October, and freights to Liver
pool wero 3af, being an increase of 7-16 upon the
previous rates. Bombay, for the first time, was
lighted with gas on the 7th October. In Liver
pool, the operations in cotton were variable, fiat
and irregular. American produce was not
lower, but all other kinds were a half penny a
pound, on the 8th, and on the !*th American cot
ton advanced fully a half penny. The sales in
two days were 25,000 bales, of which 12,000 were
to exporters and speculators. In Manchester
i bo disposition to effect sales in cotton goods
was far more active than that of buyers, which
left the market, in general, in such a state that
comparatively there was nothing doing. By a
late arrival from Liverpool we have the news that
the .Shenandoah has been given up to the United
Stales Coneul who has ordered her to be sent to
.New Vork, and the Captain and crew have been
unconditionally discharged. The cotton market
to Liverpool was without material change; sales
fur the week 57,000 bales, and rates for upland
. 1 1-2 to 22 1-2. Mobile, 20 3-4, and New Orleans
21 to 23. London Consols, 891-2. French
Rentes, 6Sf 55. American and other securities
firm. Tom Sayers, the boxer, is dead—he died
of rapid consumption.
Tho people over the way there, just beyond the
border, would seem to be in a returning state of san
ity, were it not that a new element has lately arisen
to the surface in.the shape of Hibernio-Canadian
'Tangeism. This hydra of Irish wrong and
Irish massacre in odd blood, and Irish extermi
nation, has risen its Moody front in Canada, in a
apioaciugform. Ilithsrto this misshapen monster
bas been tamely passive on American ground
end it was not until the visit of the Qneen of Eng
land's son, a few years ago, that the propensities
nf the bloody Orange faction showed sign of ao
tivc existence. On that ocoasion the Hibernio-
tanadian Orangeism rose from its bloody lair,
and would have re-saturated itself in innocent
biuod, but for the wisdom and forbearanoe ot the
finite of Newcastle, who was the travelling com
panion of the Prince. The Orangemen of Cana
da are up, and their rising has put the Catholic
Copulation of the provinces in motion, and* every
aan able to boar'arms is arming to confront the
•'rangemen, who are trembling at the bare men-
lion of the name of Fenianism. The system of
Lrangeism in that which is to be abhorred and aon-
demaed, because it is of English parentage—in
dividually there are many Orangemen exceeding
ly amiable men.
After a long and wearisome pursuit, silent and
vigilant, two officers of the New York Becteotive
force succeeded in c&ptnring Charles J, Roberts,
tbe mast successful counterfeiter hitherto known
or suspected, or dreamed of. By strategems and
well organized trainings for detection, the coun
terfeiter was laid hold of in Brooklyn, and held
in unstody whilst an officer proceeded to Philadel
phia. and there and in Brooklyn, discovered and
rook possession of counterfeit paper representing
^0,000 as yet unfinished, but almost ready for
*sue. Theee, with all the apparatus of mdchi
a, ry, paper, plates, gold leaf ink—and, in short,
ice entire plant of a most complete establishment!
» Perfect working order, have been eaptured, and
" tt* eoipoml existence of the eril.t
and artisan, Mr. Roberts, are in the safe keeping
of the detootire offioers, who will take care that
he dull not escape nor injure his precious perton.
On this same question of counterfeiting the paper
currency, tbe judge of the Court of Sessions, last
week, passed sentence of one year’s imprison
ment each upon seven culprits, who had been oon-
viotod of circulating counterfeit paper.
James McCormick, an Irishman, who ar
rived as an emigrant in Network in 1846,
being then 95 years old, died at Newark last
week, at the patriarebial age of 114 years.—
We have heard that James McCormick and
hia family were crushed ent of their native
holding in Ireland by British oppression 19
years ago, being then of the ripe age above
stated, and that in this glorious land of free
dom and compensation for labor hir life be
came renewed, and from 95, bis age on reach
ing America, he lived in health and vigor
nearly 20 years more.
The Rev. Dr. Tyng and the congregation
which was accustomed to assemble for divine
worship in the St. George’s Church, lately
consumed by fire, assembled on Sqnday in Ir
ving Hall, where the reverend gentleman offi
ciated and preached. Invitations had been
given to the Rev. Dr. Tyng by several divines
and congregations in the locality adjacent to
St. George’s Church that was, to accept of the
use of their churches for his congregation un
til accommodation should be provided for
them.
At Irving Hall, on Sunday evening, the
Very Rev. Dr. Moriartyj of Philadelphia,
pronounced- a most interesting lecture on the
harmony existing between science and religion.
The very reverend gentleman’s discourse was
1 'listened to with profound attention by a very
numerous auditory, and in the eloquent pas
sages, which were of frequent occurrence, he
was loudly applauded.
General Grant has been feted and cheered,
and almost worshipped in New York. On
Monday evening, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
he was invited to, and instead of being the
guest, he actually became the host of a bril
liant reception, a levee and drawing room and
feast, all combined in one display the most at
tractive and brilliant affair, perhaps, that any
prominent man in the United States Republic
ever received or shared in. It was more of the
character of a grand drawing room held by
the Queen of England than an entertainment
given to or participated in by a citizen of a
great Republic. Yesterday evening the gal
lant General left the Fifth Avenue Hotel, un
der a military escort, commanded by Colonel
Clark, and took bis departure by the 4 P. M.
train to Washington.
On Saturday the demand at the opening of
the market was less active than on the previ
ous day—prices were a shade easier, but it
could not be said that there was a quotable
change. The only feature of importance worth
referring to was that there were more buyers
than sellers in the field. The receipts were
6486, and the sales 3000 bales, the current
rates being : Upland, 35, 51, 53 ; Florida, 36,
51, 53 ; Mobile, 36, 52, 54 ; New Orleans, 37,
52, 54. On Monday, after the arrival of the
news from Liverpool, the market assumed an
animated appearance and business was done on
a large scale, with a firm tone and an improve
ment in prices. The receipts were 3891, and
the sales 3800, and the rates current toward the
close were : Upland, 36, 52, 53; Florida, 37,
52, 54 ; Mobile, 37, 53, 54; New Orleans, 38,
53, 55. At yesterday’s market there was no
quotable change. Receipts 1205; sales 3200
bales.
On Saturday the stock market was variable
during the day from first to last, and without
material alteration in value. Government se
curities were buoyant, and railway matters
were in request. The gold market opened at
146 7-8, rose a fraction, remained at 147 until
three o’clock, and closed at the opening price.
The export of gold last week was f$1,011,000.
Monday the day’s proceedings were something
of the same tone and temper as on Saturday.
Gold was sluggish, opening at 146 7-8, and
gradually but slowly declined to 146 1-2, at
which figure the operations closed. Yesterday
the general tone of the market was sluggish
and inactive, lu -gold there were not many
changes during the day, and the closing price
was 146 3-4. Cicebonb.

SUPPER,
Ac.
[From an Occasional Correspondent.]
Charleston, Nov. 23, 1865.
Last evening, by invitation of Mr. James
Cosgrove, who knew my sympathy with the
Fenign Brotherhood. I attended the ball given
by them at Hibernian Hall.
The Brotherhood hero is in a most flourish
ing condition, though they have only been es
tablished in Charleston within the last six
months. Their officers are most efficient and
devoted men. The chief officers are Mr. Jas.
Powers, the Center; Mr. Furlong is Treasu
rer, and Mr. Benjamin F. Murray is Secretary.
The hall was filled with happy faces, though
the dangers they had braved in this goodly
city could be seen in the very wall of the hall
of the festivities, where a shot came through
in the days of the bombardment.
Not being a dancer, it was great pleasure to
me to be cheered by the music, and listen to
the interesting reminiscences of the war from
those brave gentlemen, Captains W. S. Elliott
and J. W. Mahoney, who bad passed through
so many dangers and trials.
The supper was a sumptuous one, and was
furnished by Frary & Kelsay,. and what added
to the true enjoyment of the occasion was that
there was no wines or intoxicating liquors on
the board. ^No maudlin person* staggered
through the dance or violated the proprieties
of the occasion by improper conversation, to
say nothing of quarrels and blows, which may
be witnessed on some occasions where King
Alcohol presides at the banquet.
The committee of arrangements, and I name
them individually because they so efficiently
attended to their juries, were Messrs. Kerregan,
(Chairman,) Cosgrove, Malonay, Boajitree,
Tooley, Farrelly and Slatterly.
Not a single circumstance occurred to mar
the harmony of this festive occasion, and it re
minded me of other days in Charleston as I
looked around on the happy faces in the bait
We have understood that you in Savannah
were about to make a Fenian move, which, I
assure you, will meet with the fall co-operation
and sympathy of the brotherhood hen.
Washington, November 18.
This evening a large crowd of the friends of
Speaker Colfax repaired to his quarters and
complimented him with a serenade. In response
to earnest calls he appeared and addressed them
as follows :
My Fiusnds : I thank you for this pleasqnt
serenade, with which you welcome me on my re
turn to this sphere of public duty. Since I left
here 1 have traveled, as you are all well aware,
many thousands of miles. My thoughts turn
this evening to the prosperous condition of our
country now as compared with the closing ot the
last Congress.
Then an alien and hostile flag waved over
cities, and forts, and camps, and regiments, and
we went home in March to assist in raising more
troops called for by the President. Now is there
peace over all the land, and the flag of tbe re
public waves unquestioned over every acre of our
national domain. | Cheers.]
We never knew the value of our institution
until the hour of their peril. If we had lailed,
there would have been no resurrection from the
tomb of nations. But, thanks to our heroic de
fenders, no Gibbon will write the history of our
decline and fall. [Cheers.]
I shall bail the day when all the States shall
revolve in their appropriate orbits around the
central Government, and when we cau
behold them distinct as the billows, but oue as
the sea.
But we cannot forget that history teaches us
that it was eight years after the surrender of
Yorktown in the revolutionary war, though our
lathers were of one mind as to its necessity, be
fore the Constitution was adopted and the Union
thus established. It is auspicious that the ablest
Congress that ever sat during my knowledge of
public affairs meets next mouth to face ana set
tle the momentous questions which will be
brought before it. It will not be governed by any
spirit of revenge, but solely by duty to the coun
try. I have no right to anticipate its actions,
nor do I confine myself to any inflexible, unal
terable policy, but these ideas occur to me, and
1 speak of them with the frankness witfi which
we should always express our views.
Last March, when Congress adjourned, the
States lately in rebellion were represented in a
hostile Congress and Cabinet, devising ways and
means for the destruction of the country. It
may not be generally known, but it has been re
peated to me on the testimony of members of the
so-called Confederate Congress, that General
Lee, the military head of the rebellion, declared
last February, in his official character, that the
contest was "utterly hopeless^but that their Con
gress and Cabinet determiifed to oontinue the
struggle, and 20,000 meu fell after that time, on
both sides, in the battles around Petersburg
and Richmond.
Since the adjournment of the United States
Congress not a Bingle rebellious State volun
tarily surrendered, not an army laid down its
weapons, not a regiment abandoned their fail
ing cause; but the Union armies conquered a
peace, not by compromise or voluntary submis
sion, but by force of arms. Some of these
members of the so-called Confederate Con
gress, who, at otir adjournment last March,
were struggling to blot this nation from the
map of the world, propose, 1 understand, to
enter Congress on the opening day of its ses
sion next mouth and resume their former busi
ness of governing the country they struggled
so earnestly to ruin. They say they have lost
no rights. It seems as if the burning of the
ships of our commerce on the ocean, starving
our prisoners and raising armies to destroy the
nation would impair some of these rights until
their new governments were recognized by
Congress. (Cheers.)
The Constitution which seems framed for
every emergency gives to each bouse the ex
clusive right to judge of the qualifications of
the election returns of its members, and I ap
prehend they will exercise that right, Congress
having passed no law #n reconstruction.—
President Johnson prescribed certain action for
these States, which he deemed indispensable
to their restoration to their former relations to
the Government, which I think eminently wise
and patriotic:
1st. That their Conventions should declare
the various ordinances of secession null and
void; not as some have done, merely repealing
them, but absolutely declaring them without
any force and effect.
2d. That their Legislatures should ratify the
Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery,
that this cause of dissension and rebellion
might be extirpated.
3d. That they shall formally repudiate the
rebel debt, though by its terms it will be a long
while before it falls due, as it whs payable six
months after the recognition of the Confederacy
by the United States. [Cheers.]
This reminds me of an old friend in Indiana,
who said he liked to give his notes payable ten
days after convenience. (Laughter, and cries
of “good, good.”) But there are other terms
on which 1 think there is no division among
the loyal men of the Union :
First, That the Declaration of Independence
must be recognized as the law of the land, and
every man, alien and native, white and black,
protected in the inalienable and God-given
rights Of life,Jiberty and the pursuit -of happi
ness. Mr. Lincoln, in that emancipation pro
clamation, which is the proudest wreath in the
chaplet of fame, (cheers,) not only gave free
dom to slaves but declared that the Government
would maintain that freedom. (Applause.)
We cannot abandon them and leave them de
fenceless at the mercy of their former owners.
They must be protected in their rights of per
son and property, and these freedmen must
have the right to sue in courts of justice for all
jtist claims, and to testify also, so as to have
security against outrage and wrong. I call
that freeman not a freedman. Tbe last phrase
might have answered before their freedom was
folly-secured, but they sbonld be regarded now
as freemen of the nation. (Loud and enthu
siastic cheers.)
Second.
slitntioDi, whioh hare been adopted by many of
their State Conventions so reluctantly, under the
pressure of dispatches from the President and
Secretary of State, should be ratified bjte majori
ty of their people, We altknow but a very small
portion of their voters participated in the eieo-
tion of the delegates to these conventions, and
nearly if net all the conventions have declared
them in feme without any ratification by the peo
ple, When thi« orilis has passed, oan they not
tarn around and say these were adopted under
duress, by delegates elected by a meagre vote,
under Provisiouhl Governorsandmilitary author
ities, and never ratified by a popular vote; and
could they not turn the anti-Lecompton argn-
ment against us, and insilt* ns we did, that a Con
stitution not ratified bj the people may have er-
feot, hut no moral effect whatever ?
Third. The President oan, on all occasions,
insist that they should eleet Congressmen, who
could take the oath prescribed by the hot of 1852;
in defisuot ef this, and insulting the Presi
dent and the country, they have, in a large ma
jority of instances, voted down the. Union men
who oould take the ealb, electing those who
boasted they could not and would net, and would
feel disgraced if they shonld.
Without mentioning names, one gentleman
elected in his address to tho people before tbe
election that the iron pen of history would
record tho emancipation act as tho most mon
strous deed of cruelty which had ever darkened
■the annals of any nation, and another one who
vowed he gave all possible aid and comfort to the
rebellion, and denounced the Congress of 1862 as
gnilty in enaoting each an oath. [A voioe, “Pat
them on probation.”]
The South is filled with men who cannot
take the oath which declares “I have not volun
tarily taken part in the rebellion.” Every con
script in the Southern army can take that oath,
because he is forced into the ranks by their
conscription acts, and every man who stayed at
home, and refused to accept a civil or military
office, could take that oatb. But these were
not the choice of tbe States lately in rebellion.
4th. While it must be expected that a mi
nority of these States will cherish for years,
perhaps, their feelings of disloyalty, the coun-.
try has alright to expect that, before their mem
bers are admitted to a share in the government
of this country, to claim a majority of the
people of each of these States should give evi
dence of their earnest and cheerful loyalty, not
by such speeches as are so common. They sub
mitted the issue to the arbitrament of war, but
they are willing to stand by and fight for the
flag of the country against all enemies at home
or abroad. The danger now is in too much
precipitation. Let us rather make haste slowly,
and we can then hope that the foundations of
our Government, when thus reconstructed on
the basis of indisputable loyalty, will be as eter
nal as the stars. [Applause.] In President
Johnson I have unshaken confidence. I can
not forget that in the Senate, at the opening of
the rebellion, he was the only Southern mem
ber who denounced it and its originators, and
that he wag faithful among the faithless; nor
do I forget that when on his way from the cap-
itol to his homo, instated though he was at
many railroad stations, he never faltered in his
devotion to the Union.
Nor can I forget his speech when Military
Governor of Tennessee, at a mass meeting of
colored men at Nashvillo, in which he declared
that all men should have a fair start and an
equal chance in the race of life, and let him
succeed who has most merit. Tou all remem
ber his speech to the colored regiment of the
District of Columbia, where he repudiated that
stereotyped declaration that this is a white
man’s country alone, and insisted it was theirs
also.- You remember, also, his remarks to the
South Carolina delegation, that the only right
system was to protect all men, both white and
black, and if they got a general principle right
the details and collaterals would follow. We
all remember, too, his earnest dispatches to
these Southern Conventions, and that he has
signed the death warrant of every one who has
been convicted of conspiracy. The great
Union organization of the country carried it
successfully, aided by our heroic defenders,
through the perilous crisis of tho past four
years. Our beloved martyr President leaned
upon it in the' darkest’ hours. It stood by the
national cause unfalteringly. It voted down
the Chicago platform, which declared the war
to be a failure, and which demanded a cessa
tion of hostilities.
The people liave'placed tbe whole power of the
Government in its hands—executive, legislative
aiud judicial—and reasuredit by the brilliant
victories of this fall. Let us emulate the exam
ple of its friends in the light of duty, and I be
lieve the Executive and legislative department
ot tbe Government when they compare views to
gether, will cordially co-operate in this great
work before us all, and so act that the ioundationa
of our Union, wisely and partrioticallv recon
structed, shall be eternal as the ages. With the
heartv acceptance by the South ot the new situa
tion, I rejoice to believe that under a system of
paid tree labor, and respecting the rights of treed-
men, it will go forward in a career ot prosperity,
wealth and progress, unparalleled in its previous
history. It has a more gebial clime than we
have in tbe colder North, and a wider range of
productions; for it has cotton, tobacco, rice and
sugar, whioh command such high pricecs- now
in the markets of the world, and has boundless
water power, almo^entirely unimproved. Rid
dow ot tbe shifUess^gtt-m of slave labor, it will,
with its loins girded anew, rival ua in the race
of prosperity. In conclusion, I can but echo the
words of our departed President, in his last inau
gural on the steps of the Capitol: “With malice
toward none, with charity for all, but with firm
ness in the right, as God gives us to see the right r
and all will be well.”
Tbe address was cheered throughout, and at
its conclusion many in the crowd rnshed forward
to congratulate the speaker, while tbe band play
ed patriotic airs.
Florida Items.
Railroads in Florida.
The damage to the Railroads in this State du
ring the war has been light, compared to that
done in other States and will soon be repaired
The Pensacola and Georgia Road is in fair run
ning order from Quincy to Lake City, and the
cars make three trips a week between these
places. Col. E. Houstoun, the enterprising Presi
dent of this Company, is absent at this time on
business connected with the road. On the Cen
trid Road, from Lake City to Jacksonville, the
cars make tri-weekly trips. Leaving Quincy on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at 4 A. M.,
passengers reach Jacksonville the same day, anc
return tbs following.
The Florida Railroad from Fernandina to Cedar
Keys, the remaining one in the East, suffered
more during the war than the others, not so much
from the hands ot the Federals as from the policy
of the Confederate Government in having the
iron taken up to build a connection between the
Pensacola and Georgia Road, and the Railroad
from Savannah to Thomasville. The iron was
taken off of twenty-three miles of the Florida
road and removed to lay the Live Oak connection
between tbe Pensacola and Georgia and Gulf and
Atlantic. This was done by tbe Confederate
Government, and we believe, under protest from
tbe Pre ident and stockholders of the Florida
Road. They refused to relinquish their right of
property in the iron, end consequently it remains
vested in that company. Several demands have
been made for the iron—to no effect until recent
ly, when, as we are informed, Gen. Foster gave
an order for the delivery of the iron to its pro
per owners at the lapse ot ten day,if not otherwise
ordered in the mean time. The iron may be re
moved and laid down on the Florida Road in a
few weeks, ancf we are informed that this road
will in all probability be opened by the first of
next January tbioogh to Fernandina. It is to
ernandma.
The amendments of their State Con- be regreited'that tbe energetic President of this
.. i , . 1 ■ - road, the Hon. D. L. Yulee, is still confined in
prison at Fort Pulaski. Not only the interests of
the road, but of tbe State, would be greatly ad
vauced by hia presence and aid at tbi* time.
As far as we can learn, there is little pros
pect of a prosecution of the Pensacola and
Georgia, Railroad further West than Quincy at
present. It is to be hoped, however, that tbe
time is not far distant when it may be comple
ted to Chattahoochee, at least.
Since the above was put in type, Col. Hcus-
toun, President Pensacola and Georgia Rail
road, has returned to this city.
-We learn, says the Floridian, that-he suc
ceeded to a large extent in the object of his
mission. He has purchased-five first class en- nnnurt a niwiuin a
gines, and a large amount of material for the PQCKcT SUUlvS 1 SATCHcLft
New York, subject to the approval of the
Directors. He foiled in procuring iron for the
extension of the road, owing to its extraordi
nary high price, and the farther fact that ao
road in the Sooth is in condition jest now to
pay cash—the terms demanded—for such ma
terials.—TiHuliassec Sentinel.
Civil Law Rbstobxd.—It will ba seen by
reference to the proclamation of his Excellency,
Gov. Marvin, in another column, that in pursu
ance of anthority conferred upon him by the Con
vention and an arrangement with the military
Commandant, he has restored to the functions of
their respective offices, with some exceptions re
served for the continued oognizacce of the mili
tary, “the ciyil offieers of this State who were Oir-
charging the duties of their respective offices,
pri' r to or daring tbe month of May, A D.,
1865.” .
The Steamer Gov. Marvin.—This steamer,
the property of Mr. McK iy, of Tampa, reported
to have been lost in tbe recent gale, we learn, has
arrived safely at Key West. This boat, we am
informed, was brought out by its owner, for the
purpose ot carrying on the eattle trade between
Tampa and Havana.' The Gov. Marvin had a
larger number of passengers, including two hun»
dred mechanics 6ent down from New York by the
Government, to work otr the fortifications at Key
West.
The Militia to bk Organized.—Governor
Marvin has issuld his proclamation authorising
the organization of the militia under the law pi
1849. The law provides that the Colonels
elected in pursuance thereof, are presumed to be
in command of their regiments and are directed
to till all vacancies that may exist. This is an
important step in the right direction, and we
would here earnestly advise our people to take a
wise interest in the premises, and see that
judicious and competent men are elected to the
Various grades of office. We learn through tbe
Sentinel, that that splendid officer and noble
soldier, so well and popularly known to the
troops of Florida, Capt. G. Troup Maxwell, has
been appointed Adjutant General of the State.
No more appropriate appointment could have
been made.
Last Hope ok tue “Mount”—The lost steamer
D. H. Mount, was spoken by the schooner J. L
Hiss, off Cape Fear, on the 23d of October. The
Hiss was bound for New York, but after losing
her sails, rn the 24th she was pat before tbe wind,
and on the 26th made ibaeo, from whence she
worked her way back to Fernandina, November
1st, for repairs. Some still entertain the hope
that the Mount may have taken the course of the
Hiss, and run to the Bahamas, but it is but a for
lorn hope.
Col. Osborne, the Commis-ioner of the Freed*
men for tbi a State, than whom a more able and
efficient officer cannot found in that^>ureau,(i*
preparing and will soon issue a oode, foT the
management of the interests of-the freedmen, in
a manner that cannot fail to give general satisfac
tion. Col. Osborne combines the qualities of a
thorough military officer, and an able and keen
lawyer; he comprehends his mission and has the
ability and good sense to fill it.
There has been considerable sickness in Jack
sonville for the past two months, generally of
bilious diseases. The wonder, however, is not
that there are so many sick, but that there are so
many well, when we consider the filthy condition
of tbe place during the Bummer. Its odors and
expalatious during the hot weafher would poison
the most impervious constitutions and we are
now reapiDg the benefits.
Collector Moody has finally fairly entered upon
his duties as Collector of Customs at Jackson
ville, nod cannot fail to give general satisfaction.
Mr. Ottman, late special agent and acting Col
lector, made a final disposition of tbe abandoned
and captured property on band, last week, and
left for the North on tbe last boat.
Saw Mill Burnt.—We tegret to learn that tbe
saw mill of J. H. Koper, Esq., four miles north
of Gaiosville. on the Florida Railroad, was
destroyed by fire on the night of the 10th inst.,
with abou t 100,000 feet of lumber. The origin ol
the Are is not knowu, but the loss is very severe,
in the present state ot affairs.
The Storm at the East.
Boston, Nov. 21—2 P. M.
A violent northeast storm prevails here, and it
is severe on the const. The only Eastern steamer
in is the Eastern Queen, from Bath. The steamer
Daniel Webster put back to Bath. The steamer
K-itahdin, from Bangor for Boston, pnt into
Portland for harbor.
Tho brig Lark, of 8t. George, Me., from Calais
for Pawtuoket, with lumber, was driven ashore
this momingjon Long Beach, Cape Ann, and is
badly bilged. Tbe crew was saved.
Escape of Hon. Robert Toombs.
It is authentically s'a'ed in this city that tbe
Hon. Robert Toombs, who had been conoealed for
mouths in one of theadjaceot counties, has elnd-
ed bis pursuers, escaped across the country, and
made bis safe exit from the port of New Orleans,
for foreign parts.—JUncon Telegraph, 24th.
One Bottle did it.
That is the expression of many who
have had their grey hair restored to its
natural color, and their bald spot covered
with hair, after usiug one bottle of Mrs.
S. A. Allen’s World’s Hair Restorer and
Hair Dressing. It is not a dye, it can do
no harm. Eveiy one who has used tliqse
preparations speak loud in their praise.
If you wish to restore your \iair as in
youth and retain it through life, without
delay procure these preparations. All
Druggists keep them.
