THE SAVAKKAI: DAIA.Y HERALD.
We present to-day, in j .or,; haste than
filiall be our cn-iom, the first number of
the Savannah Dairy Herald.
In this pa; -r is merg-.i The Palmetto
11., a am), which, during the past ten
mouths; as a weekly a r, nj r jasper, has at
tained a greater circulation, in proportion
lo the number of residents of the Depart -
JBCir nt, than any other army paper pub
lic! ied.
We shall nuke tins as we made The
Palmetto Herald, a newspaper, lor the
publication 01 all such 100 J aud general
news as is not contraband. We shall use
every effort, and spare no expense, to ob
tain all the news of each clay which it is
proper to publish. \v r e propose to ex
clude politics, as out of our province;
but where we can. editorially or in any
other way. aid the government of the
United States, or encourage its army and
navy hi their glorious work, we sh ill do
so. We shall, above all, esteem it a duty
and a pleasure to promote the interests
and contribute to the enjoyment of the
noble army which has just added to
.its numerous grand achievements an ex
ploit which is uon-rivalled in history,
and has excited the admira l m of the
world.
T lit* present size of the Herald, neces
sarilv adapted to the shape of the print
lug psper we have on hand, may prove
too email ; and in that ease we shall soon
enlarge; it ;4>ut we believe a small paper,
weh printed, and well lihed, will prove
inoie acr. ptabie than a large sheet, lack
ing those recommendations.
’ Our arrangements arc com pick for cor
respondence, by I?ve ry opportunity, front

into the heart of this Empire btye, had
reached the coast, preparations had been
perfected, to open an ofiico here on its
arrival. Scarcely a week had elapsed
after the city Mas in our possession, be
fore Mr. A. A. Dice, sue Agent, had his
banners out and his office thronged with
soldiers eager to send money home to
their relations and friends. Biuce then
the office has been doing a. tremendous
business. It lias received and sent to New
York Pearly a million dollars in money,
besides a large number of freight pack-
ages.
“o .
The clerks* are experienced ‘and com
petent. anu the office works ns.smoothly
as the best in the land.
Mr. A. A. Rice is the General Agent
and Mr. E. P. Tunnison, Cashier.
A large number of packages are now
daily expected from the north, consisting
of the freight sent to the "west and re
turned in consequence of the movement
of the army. Due notiee will be given of
its arrival.
Personal. — Lieut. Col. H.C. Ransom,
late Chief Quartermaster of the Coast Di
vision, D. S., lias arrived, here, to report
to Ceil. Easton.
Captain John L Iveily, A. Q. M., who
for a time had charge of marine trans
portation here, lias gone home on a leave
of absence, rendered necessary by the im
paired state of bis health.
Yankee Invention.—Some time since
there were lying near the side walk in a
town not far distant, a lot of pipes that
had been taken from a whiskey »tiU,
whichtthe United States army’s advance
had caused to move to another point pre
sumed to be of more safety. A by-stan
der was interrogated as to what sort of
a machine that was. He replied, that it
was “a machine for grinding smoke.”
“Well,'' was the rejoinder ot the rebel
soldier, “sposo its a Yankee vent-ion, bn;
l‘d like to see it in operation."
Mr. Henry Camp, one of the most ex
tensive traders here, whose enterprise has
been shown in bringing a who:' cargo *>f
goods from New York, on a large steam
er especially chartered, advertises else
where an extensive and well assorted
stock oi goods for sale, at 155 Congress
street,, at prices which we know to be
•Vx iy reasonable. The most cut rnrising
dealers'are always the most profitable to
purchase from, and Mr. Camp is both
enterpri sing and honorable.
Musses. C. Bavu.lk & (jo., of the Pal
metto Herald Store, have sent us a full
assortment of late Northern papers, of
which they received a shipment by
the Arr go They have a large supply of
stationery and fancy goods, at wholesale
and retail, and keep as'good a store as
can be found in the army.
Alarm of Fire. —The alarm of fire yes
terday morning at eight o'clock, was
caused by the burning of their cabins in
one of the public squares, by some sol
diers who were changing their camp. We
suggest that unless such destruction of
quarters is ordered for military purposes,
it would be generous for soldiers remov
ing to leave their cabins intact, as the
city is now permanently in our posses
sion and the lumber is not only valuable,
but in burning, endangers other proper
ty.

At 7 o’clock the company, which incnia

got up in a style which caused many t< >

' The chair was ably filled by the worthy

After ample justice had been done to
the edibles, the chairman proposed the

As ave have changed base in our liter-
ary pursuit, from the soft and healthy
sea air of Hiito i Head to the beautiful
and checkered “Forest City” of Sa
vanr.ah, the Queen of the Empire State,
\v ? desire to say a word in relation tc its
sanitary condition. The streets and
lanes are in a most filthy condition, a
it is the expression of many citizens th.
if it were summer the mortality woula
be numberless. Among . the mauy
changes and rcrovations, going on under
the 11 ejs regime, it is hoped this will not
be overlooked. , 1
Another consideration is, the 1 air si x t
are.now bccomiag reconciled to the truth, .
that the Federal army are not the de
mons that the rebel journals would have
then believe, and are appearing on the
streets daily in considerable numbers,
and we have bo doubt, that. 0,
