Jtovamtah Daily Staid. —” ' i BY S. W. MASON AND CO. SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1565. E!fLAB€EUEST OF TDE HERALD. • MORNING & EVENING EOfTIONS. Look out for the Savannah Daily Herald, to-morrow morning and eve ning, in an enlarged form. “SPRING TIME OP YEAR IS COM ING-COMING.” Whether the trees and Gardens and Flowers have felt themselves excited to a generous rivalry by the projected and nearly perfected improvements in our little journal, we are not prepared to say, but from certain significant signs we have noticed since our initial announce ment was made, we are satisfied that Dame Nature is determined not to be outdone even by the Herald, but like that illustrious sheet, is preparing to ap pear before her numerous admirers in a new suit of versi-colored garments. Now we are lovers of Nature, (she is a lady for whom every man has a right to cherish an affection, and that too, with out exciting the jealousy of his wife,) we have always patronized Nature, in truth, we have always liked Nature pretty well, and we acknowledge with thanks the graceful compliment paid by Nature in dressing all the gardens with her love liest flowers, and all the fruit trees in their fairest blossoms, in honor of the ad«- vent of the new issue of the Savannah Herald. Nature, we take off our hat and make our best bow. Thank you ma’am. We are prepared to pay a small bottle of ale to any Editor north of Mason and Dixon's line who will make affidavit that in this month of March Nature has taken any such pains in %is behalf. No sir! She hasn't done it, and she won't do it— she can't do it. The dear old girl is al most infinite in her resources we ac knowledge, but she has exhausted her self in her gracious efforts to do proper honor to our new undertaking. Yes, you frigid gentlemen of Arctic New York, Laplandic Philadelphia and Kam schatkaic Boston, while Mistress Nature only donates to you deep snows, freezing winds, four-foot ice, blue noses, frosty fingers, black clouds, driving storms, heavy gales, occasional hurricanes, and all the chilly, frosty, gelid, freezing, sleety, bieak, inclement, hyperboreal, nipping, shivery accompaniments of a Northern winter, here in sunny Sa vannah she finds herself in more genial mood, and distributes gifts of another sort. For the past few clays however, we must say, that the weather has been un. propitious and unpleasant, but no soon er had the particulars of our new enter prise been given to the world than the whole face of nature changed. The skies brightened, the weather mollified, and in twenty-four hours a marked and decided advance was noticed in all veg etation. When we issued our Prospec tus the Daffodils, Crocuses and Violets bloomed with new vigor, and the Corn elias put forth new buds, which, as soon as the joyful intelligence was diffused through the city, expanded into the most perfect and beautiful flowers. ‘When we put forth a large Bulletin, announcing the exact particulars of our projected improvements, all the Snow Drops and Jessamines opened to their fullest extent and filled the air with delicious perfumes; and this morning ■when the Editors walked in grand pro cession, double tiles, from the Editorial palace to their most grateful work, all the fruit trees along their route were clothed with fragrant blossoms. Think of that you folks up North—Peach trees in full bloom on the 15th of March—something you won't see in your latitudes for two frosty mouths yet. Os course the Sa vannah Herald improvement has hur ried up these little matters somewhat even for us, but we should have been a month or six weeks ahead of you any how. As w r e said before, we heartily thank dame Nature for what she has done in our behalf, and if, on the morning of our first issue she will adorn all the Orange Trees in the vicinity with a new crop of blossoms, we shall modest ly accept it, not only as a proper trib ute to our many merits, but as a capital advertisement of our enlarged and im proved journal, and in return therefor, we promise, should Nature ever get un popular, to give her a first-'rate notice, and restore her to her proper level in public good opinion. Theatre.— Last evening the “Daven port combination ‘Theatrical Troupe” made their first appearance in the city at the Savannah Theatre building. There was a fine audience in attendance, and we were glad to observe many ladies of the city. The performances gave good satisfaction, and save the usual hitches and shortcomings inseparable from a first night's performance by a company not only new to the audience and the Thea tre, but strange to each other, the pieces were admirably performed. The same bill “Naval Engagements,” and “Pet of the Petticoats” will be repeated this evening. As we shall issue our enlarged sheet to-morrow, we shall hereafter be ena bled to devote a certain space to some thing more like genuine criticism than the scanty notices with which we are now compelled to content ourselves. Until that time we defer everything like elab orate notice of the troupe, assuring them that in the future we propose to endeavor to give to each individual his honesbduc of praise or blame. We close to-day, with the remark, that all the members of the company made a good impression, which, we doubt not, will be improved by future exertions.— Ihe ladies are pretty, vivacious and clever, and the gentlemen seem to be of those who understand their profession. There can be no doubt the company wili be thoroughly successful. St. Patrick’s Day.— On Friday, the 1 1 th inst., St. I atrick s Day wtII be ob served at St. Patrick's Church, south east corner' of West Broad and Liberty streets. Pontificial High Mass will be celebrated at 10 o'clock, a. in., by the Rt Rev. Augustin Verot, D. D-, Bishop of Savannah. A sermon will be preached by the Rev. James Hasson, of Hilton Head, S. C. The residence of the Clergy, situ ated in the rear of the Church being unfinished, a collection will be’taken for its. completion. Bishop Verot, accom panied by the Clergy, will move from the Episcopal residence, corner of Perry and Drayton streets, at 9 1-2 o’clock, a. m. Trade Returning.— At the market this morning were several country carts, w'hose owners had brought produce to maraet to sell the same, and to buy up family supplies. Our citizens will be pleased to see their country friends at all times, and our merchants will furnish them w T ith goods at reasonable rates. _VVhat kind of paper resembles a sneeze ? Tissue. LETTER FROM HILTON HEAD. j Port Royal’ House, Hilton Head, March 13th. The Arago sails this morning and will probably take more passengers than have left this port for a long time. For the last two days a great crowd has swarm ed this place waiting for this vessel to sail. It is impossible to tell what occa sions this wish, but it is probable on ac count’of the approaching warm weather, and, besides this a great many refugees are passengers by her. A man of the 157th New York Volun teers was dangerously injured on yester day by the firing of the morning gun. He was passing along the promenade, in front of the battery, and when directly before the gun it was fired, blowing his hat into the water, and nearly blowing his head with it. He now lies in the Provost Hospital in a dangerous condi tion, but it is hoped he will recover with the loss of his right eye. It is necessary that great caution should be used in the discharge of this gun, as there is a con tinuous stream of persons passing on the promenade at all times. Quite a little excitement was occasion ed here night before last by the arrival of the Amazon from your city. On boarding her I found it no wonder that she created such an excitement. She might be called a floating Menagerie or be taken for a second Ark. But I suppose she does not need description to the cit izens of your city, as they have all had a chance to inspect her. Several of the inquisitive inquired of Captain Dillon if his vessel was one of the Floating Pal aces of which so much has been read as peculiar to Southern rivers. Ilis answer .was affirmative. From Charleston we have nothing new. Everything at that place remains as dull as ever, and probably will until “this cruel war is over.” and then she will never be able to cope with Savan nah. Every one arriving here from the latter place speaks of its loveliness, its shady parks and streets, and pretty la dies. The only thing that injures the place is the fact that some malicious per sons are continually describing what an unhealthy place Savannah is going to be this summer. It is a noted fact that per sons making this remark are northerners and know nearly nothing of the place. The only thing I have to say on the sub ject, is that if Savannah cannot be as clean and health under military as under civil rule, I am mistaken. But time will tell, and we have not a great while to wait, summer is fast ap proach in. The steamer New York arrived from the North yesterday, with dates to the 10th inst., the news is unimportant, the capture of Gen. Early does not seem to be confirmed. I send you files of the N. Y. Herald, from which you can make many interesting extracts. _ Palmer. Naval.— The iron-clad Monaduock and the steamer Mohican have arrived at Port Royal, the latter in a disabled con dition. The iron-clad Lehigh has gone north, towed by the Shenandoah, and the iron clad Mahopac, towed by the Cambridge. Provost Court. —A citizen who vio lated'General Order No. IG, by throw ing garbage in the streets, was fined $5 and discharged on payment of the fine. The other business before the Court was unimportant. Savannah Steam Flouring Mills.— Arrangements areju favorable progress to immediately put in operation these extensive mills located at the eastern end of Broughton street. the hew EJECTION.

Firemen s Hall. —Those of our pa trons who are fond of witnessing class ical tableaux ably and beautifuly repre sented, can be gratified by visiting Fire men’s Hall this evening, where will be presented by certain of the leading la dies of Savannah, a series of well-se lected Tableaux. The proceeds are to be devoted to a benevolent object, and the enterprise has been taken charge of by a committee of ladies of such stamp and character that there can be no doubt that everything will be conducted in the best possible manner. The list of scenes to be represented is given as follows: 1. Neapolitan Peasants, 2. Hindoo Ladies. 3. Cupid and His Court. 4. The Inventory. a, The Chess-Players. 0. A Gipsey Scene. 7.
