hi SAVANNAH NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY MORNING. DECE 1865. FgIDAV fORDIHCh BBC ** a Now ud Then. Though we alluded briefly in y ester days issue to the fact that it was the anni- veisarr of the entrance of General Sherman’s army into our city, some thoughts have suggested themselves which under the circumstances may be considered apropos to the casion, and possibly result in^ Newspaper Work. Probabljjfew of those genial old gentlemen, so fond of “reading the paper” before a comfortable fire, with their inviting breakfast tables groaning under the weight of tempting viands, fromWhich ascend theft steams of savory odors, and, doobt- , fewer still of the young lions, who riso in the morning withlittle appetite and endeavor to perform tho.double duty of foediug beth-mind and body together by reading tfce morning pa pers at breakfast, even lor a tingle moment, cast a thought as to how they are supplied daily with The Trial of Hugh W.

Thia is but one ofc the many gratifying changes notifiable as the work of one abort year. The rerival of business, the new life infused into the several depart ments of industry, and the rescue of everything from that . abnormal condition imposed by the cir cumstances of war, have shed a lustrous light around illumining the blessings of peace, and making them the more appreciable and desirable in our sight. History does not record an event better calculated to refute the theory of misanthropists that there is nothing good in man. It is a spectacle without a parallel, and'from which may be de duced the soundest lessons -of moral wisdom. In this short experience the errors of the past are glaringly portrayed, and set up as finger-boards to guide us aright in the future as we travel on the highway to imperial greatness and illimi table prosperity. We have seen the bit terness of feeling towards the people of other sections of our common country gradually disappearing. Men of the South and Xorth have become intimate ly associated in business and the most amicable relations established. All seeming agreed to concede that having fought like brave men for principles they thongbt to be right, it devolved upon them now to sustain their claims to man hood by taking each other’s hands in honest fellowship, uniting their efforts for the advancement o f civilization and good government the world over, and permanently settle the incontrovertible fact that as a people we are one and in divisible. For once we feel inclined to put aside all political questions and ask our enemies as well as our friends to do likewise, that we may meet and compare notes and indulge in mutual congratula tions over the great good work already accomplished. If we can divest ourselves of all bias and prejudice even for so short a time, we must certainly return to the labors still before us in a better frame of mind, more disposed to yield to the soft influence of our Christian impulses, and recognize the rights of others, though to eome extent in contravention to our own. Truly it is a bow of promise on which we have gazed with mingled feel' ings of joy and gratitude, and we will be disappointed to find that we have been peculiar in this respect. .-* • Faneral at a Prsatarat Citizen It becomes our painful duty .to ta.- nounce the death and burial ot Wm.TL Stiles, one of our most worthy niiazens. The funeral services took place yester - day and the remains were acco mpanied to their last resting place by mdny sympa thising friends. Mr., Stfles has for a number of years directed his attention to the interest of bis plantation in Cass county, of this Stake. To his earnest energetic persecution of whatever he undertook, looking to 1 the improvement of the country,. we are indebted for much that wifi long redound to his credit as a public benefactor. He filled several important official positions vithsmarked ability, and to the complete satisfaction of the whole people; was U. S. Minister to Austria in 1848, as the pre decessor of Brigadier General Henry . R, Jackson, of this oity, and has ably repre sented this district in Congress. He was a talented gentleman, widely known and respected for his many excellent qualities of heart and mind, and the author of a very interesting work, in two Volumes, on the political condition of Austria during the eventful period of his residence there. Beloved by all who were so fortunate as to enjoy an intimate acquaintance with him, his loss is deeply and sincerely felt, and will leave an aching void in the breasts of many of our best citizens. «wtt Attractions all the Fair Ts* Might—The Suit ef the 12th Maine •dvise all those who desire to hear deli- “■•‘o. see pretty ladies, draw valuable »ntee,behold elegant goods sad o brilliant throng to Tint 8t Andrews’ Hail to-night.

Depressing, certain ty, especially when it is impossible for him' to see how. in expressing his honest .views in as moderate terms ss he could use, the feelings of any man could be wounded. Well, a few more letters are opened, and from more of them he has the consolation of knowing that on returning home at night he must not be surprised if an oc casional bullet is sent "on a friendly mission” after him. Or, perhaps, some chivalrous gentle man will ask him “to name a friend,” (the editor of the New York Times knows something of that,) and then he is placed in a rather awkward position. Should he fight, all the old common BeDse gentlemen subscribers will withdraw, say ing that duelling should be disoouraged, and no support should be given to a dualist, and on the other band, shcnld he refuse, the Hons will brand him as a contemptible coward, “with neither the courage of a man nor the instincts of a gentle man.” A few m&o letters are threatening legal pro ceedings, and probably one from an indignant old gentleman, or a “strong minded young lady,” giving him rounds of abase, and conclud ing by modestly requesting that it might he in serted in his journal. Let us now suppose that he loses his temper, and, in a fit of indignation) accepts the proposal of the fighting gentleman and gets killed, am] we bave.then an illustration oi an old proverb in a certain Southern town, to the effect that it took always three editors for t journal—one to be killed in a dnol, one to die o the yellow fever, and a third to write an obituary for the other two. Well, now that the editor is dead and his. trou bles are over, let us pass to another individual who holds a lower position in the profession, and who, if less of a responsible being, has certainly heavier share of the hard work. He is supposed to know everything, and especially to be well able to explain legal, medical and scientific mat ters, and in addition to all that he must be able to do an execution” in the morning, fiod some ana tomical fault in a picture or statue in the after noon, attend a medical or scientific lec tore in the evening, describe a grand banquet at night, and wind up with a “horrible suioide,” a frightful railway accident, or a mAh drowned. Bah! some subscribers will say, -who have little more to do than driuk their wine, tanoke their cigars and muse as to the best mode of doubling their capital. M ait iln’y a pas He bah., all-this and more falls to the duty of the reporter. Strict ly speaking, the reporter has no home. He lives in steamboats, railway cars, backs and hotels. In all countries his life is the same. In law cas es he has frequently te take Botes all day and write them out All night, and with little to eat (he can’t have an appetite) and one or two hours feverish sleep, he is up agafn^ next ’dsy to go through the same ordeal. He ts thoroughly Ac quainted with almost every possible .phase at human (existence. *He may occasionally make, plenty of money, hut never has any, and always dies of premature old age and without «.cent. This poverty arises,not because the gentlemen be longing to this part of Abe profession are ail ratherJoosa characters, but simply from the tact that they are necessarily ’ obliged to lead ir regular lives. 'j * . I ' .Next in order, after the reporter, comes the printer or compositor. Who that has ever been in a newspaper printing office in a large city, at night time, has ever envied- the printer’s posi tion, standing before a blazing gat light, ia the midst of a-fetid atmosphere, caused;by - the large number of workmen ill one room, working like a machine asifhe waayseund. up and set going, with his nose ifi the space box from morning till night, and jfTmost instances from night, till morning, with nothing.te disturb the monotony of his .labor save the constant clicking of the type as it swiftly falls into.. the«Atmk. All this does its work as clearly demonstipM'by the fearful mortality of printers in large Cities. Columns might well be written upon this'matter, with disclosures that wonld well surprise those who never dream-of the amount of labor to be gone through by so many in order to afford the publie the pleasure of reading the current events of the day. We have heard of the joys ol wedlock being enjoyed by some editors, but genuine bliss can only be experienced by Northern men who at- tempt to pnbfish a Union newspaper ia a South ern city.in 1866. The peculiar style in which this ’peculiar” bljss is doled out to us we might nar rate, but the quantity has been so liberal and the quality so remarkable that volumca would be required to do the subject justice. One thing certain, the history of oar one year’s residence in Savannah as an editor, wonld. prove sufficient food for an. entertaiping and rather exciting nov- el. At some tutnre day we may be tempted to to gratify the curiosity of some of war readers by presenting them with a hasty ^cetnh of editorial life in Savannah. Wa must cravo the Indulgence of our readers by ashing them to excusn us from staining paper with the recital of tome of the dastardly outrages that have from time to time been committed upon us for the gratifica tion Of political spita and prejudice. * ^ “ * ’ #f Capt.Watrous from Judge Advocate General Jos.

Some irresponsible individual who has had but little to occupy his time , and .attention, has circulated a report throughout the city that a Confederate Flag was publicly-exhibited at the Orphan’s lair now being held at .St. Andrew’s Hall under the .auspices of the Sis ters of Mercy. We are happy to state that this rnmor has no foundation whatever, our information being derived from the most re liable sources. . % . - „ ' - In connection with this it may be well to correct another senselass rumor current on the streets, set afloat either hy a malicious oretu- pid party, ip relation to the excellent band of the 12th Maine regiment. The band volun teered their valuable services-in older', to help increase the attractions of the Fair, and their kind offer was gladly accepted and gratefully appreciated by Mrs. Cass and her corps of lady assistants. On Tuesday evening the band performed several .splendid pieces and were just preparing to give a National Medley or Pot Pourri, embracing all the popular aim of our country, when an officious and unauthorized ■individual took the liberty of requesting the gentlemanly leader, Mr. Melville Andrews, not to play the airs as they were ‘distasteful to the ladies.” This was very naturally looked upon ai a direct personal in sult to the members of the band, and they at once retired from the hall. We are positively informed that no such request or remark was authorized by the ladies in charge of the Fair, all of whom deeply regretted the occurrence. We make these corrections in order to disabuse the mind of the ‘public and particularly our Northern citizens, of all ideas that insinua tions or-disrespect of any kind will be shown to those who may visit the Fair, which is for the most charitable object in our midst, and with which politics have no Connection. The gentleman who voted for Abraham Lincoln, caff stand at the side of one .who Voted for Jefferson Davis, and take his chanceB at the inviting raffles where none save ladies are in attendance, and we are quite sure that they are not particularly anxious .to know who the visitors voted for. The- only curiosity the. ladie 8 manifest is to fiod out how much money the visitors have, 'and th’en by persuasive argn- wfents <fraw it out in “chance*:” There is but one quality and sentiment desired at the Fair, and that is uulimited generosi ty. - . , ‘Vharlty’s Clams” 'and “.Encumbered Storms.’’ , .. “Still blunder followed blunder.’”” Our perverse typos made several outrageous blunders which were ready almost u a par dona file, in our editorial of; yesterday, entitled ‘•Coming Around.” We were made to say “XprtJiern and Southern?' lor Northerner and Southerner, “ringing” for cringing, -“entirs different” for entirely diffierent, “count good will” tor court good will, ’ “as lotid tq day” ior as loyal to-day, asd strange to say, not contest with these mortifying mistakes they compelled our readers to gaze in horror at .“charity's clams” when we wrote “claims of charity;” and notwith standing, our article wa? encumbered with errors the d—i made tkemany "encumberedstorms” for “encountered storms.” We wrote seuse, but the effect of soda water whioh entered; Jhe cerebel lum of one or two oi our total abstinence hands, caused them to translate our sentences into nonsense—cause inspissating of the mental faculties. Iu future we trust to read’ no more in our columns of “charity’s clams”, or “encum bered storms,” and if our readers will Only for give us this time we shall try and do so no more. -‘ Mississippi to 7,000 men. .

Some of the subscribers to the stock, objected to having the plan made public, fearing the Gas Company would step in and leoure a majority, (the' amount being limited) thus endangering the. success of the Company, hut believing they are not actna- ted-by mercenary motives, and are not opposed to competition, hava concluded to make their plane knowD, trusting to-the generosity ef the .Gas Conipany to keep dark and give the Light • Wood Company, a chance. .
