The Savannah Daily Herald. BY S. W. MASON ANI> CO. .-A VANN AII. SUNDAY. MARCH 19, IhV., provost cui nf. IXTKKESTINO CIVIL CASES. The suit of Messrs. Longstreet, Bradford A Cos.. against Mr. Pierce Bkelian of the firm of Conyngliam A Skehan, of tins ciiy, has attracted considerable attention in busi ness circles here. The case was tried before Provost Judge Parsons, Judge Advocate and Provost Judge of the District and Post of Savannah. It seems that the action was brought to collect a biil for merchandise bought by Mr. Skeban, and the controversy was principally upon the question whether or not the time, after which the hill became due,had expired, though there were many other incidental questions involved. Mr. John Sedgwick, of the firm of I.nngstrcet, Bradford & Cos., New York, and also of L. C. Norvell & Cos ~ of this city, and others, testified that, upon the introduction of L. C. Norvell A Cos., Mr. Skchan had obtained credit from the firm lor the time- desired by him. viz: 30 or 40 days. That when Mr. Sedgwick was about to leave New York, lie was especially instructed by them to collect the bill at Savannah. Upon calling upon Mr. Skeban, tiiat gentleman had requested 00 or SO days more time. Mr. Skehan, on the other hand, claimed that he bought the goods upon “ open ac count " which, however, he admitted, in usually understood to mean payment in 15 or 20 days, or whenever demanded. The bill was not disputed as to amount, and was over due according to the state ments of both parties. The following is the decision of the case : •‘Longslreet, Bradford & Cos., New York— n Pierce Skehan, Savannah. “Ordered—That the balance of the claim of Longslreet, Bradford & Cos., against Pierce Skehau, amounting to £4131.50, uow due, be paid from the fund attache'! in the banking house of L. C. Norvell & Cos., of Savacuah, and that the attachment on the balance be removed and the same subject to the draft of Air. Skehau.” The first case tried aad determined before Court, between L. C. Norvell & Cos., aud Mr. Skehau, was upon the light of L. C. Norvell & Cos., oi which firm Mr. Sedgwick is a partner, as well as of Longstreet, Brad ford & Cos., to appropriate a portion of Mr. Skehan's deposit in their banking house to payment of the debt due Longstreet, Brad ford & C’o, without the conseut of Mr. Ske han, or the order of any judicial tribunal.— This case was decided against Norvell & Cos. VISIT OF M.vj. Gen. Q. A. Gilt.mork ANI) Staff.— Major Gen. Gillmore, commanding Department, of the South, accompa nied by Capt. W. L. M. Bu;ger, A. A. G., Major Gray, Judge Advocate Geueral, Capt. 11. M. Bragg, A. DC , Lieut. G. W. Jame3, Lieut. K. Talcott, of his staff, arrived in this city on a visit at half past two o’clock yesterday afternoon, on the U. 3. steamer Diamond, from Ililton Head. A few minutes after the arrival of the Dia mond, Gen. Grover, accompanied by two of his staff, visited Gen. Gillmore on board. The fine post band at Hilton Head, under the leadership of Professor G. W. Ingalls, ac companied the General and performed sev eral beautiful pieces of music as the steamer neared the wharf. U. 3. Steamer Diamond.--The present war has been to the Anglo libel ship-build ers a harvest. Their ship yards and ma chine shops have day and night been busy with work upon licet, light draft vessels for running the blockade to supply the rebels with guns, ammunition, etc. Many of these neutrality crafts have fallen into the hands of the gallant seamen of Uncle Sam. The U. S. Steamer Diamond, Hag-ship of Gen 1 A. G'llmore, is one of the captured ves sels, and is a perfect model oR beauty. We annex the following as her dimensions : She was built by James Henderson and Son, En- I ginesrs and Ship-Builders. "Renfrew, Scot land; length over all 180 feet, breadth of beam 20, over paddle boxes is", feet, depth of hold 12 feet, 2 oscillating engines, +2 inches diameter, U inches stroke, l tubular boiler 11 feet square a«.l 8 feet high.

The government will not, therefore, lose any thing by the speculation. It is needless to add that greenbacks came down on the stand of the Judge, and Campbell was discharged with the injunction to “go and sin no more.” Progression is the order of the day.

S.'Stcan;ship Fulton, Capt. Wotton, arrived here this evening. The weather was so thick she had some difficulty4n entering the harbor, and has not reached the dock ; files of papers have not yet been Received on shore. It is reported that Schofield has had a bat tle with Hood and Bragg, and whipped both. Sherman has reached Fayetteville, N. C., without a light. Sheridan lias cut the Danville R. R., to within twenty miles of Richmond. DRAMATIC. The Performance Last Evening. — The change in the bill at tlie Savannah 'Theatre brought out a crowd of theatre-goers last evening. Those ever-favorite pieces, “Black Eyed Susan,” and “The Spectre Bridegroom." were presented in a highly satisfactory man ner. We venture to say that none of those who visited our Theatre with the remem brance of the Williams of the best actors of the northern t heatres in their minds, felt that that of Mr. Davenport suffered by tho com parison. The affecting passages of tiie play were effectively brought out by the new company, which well deserves the place which it is attaiuing in the favor of our public. The uproarious farce of the “Spectre Bride groom” dismissed the audience in the best of humor. Bum. Gen. James F. Hall. —We are glad to notice tue confirmation by the Senate of the promotion of Lt. Col. J. F. Hall, Ist N. Y. Vol. Engineers, to the rank of Brevet Brigadier General. Gen. Hall has been in the Department of the South almost ever since its organization. He has Avon the praise of every general officer he has served under, and his promotion was strongly recommend ed by Gens. Gillmore, Hunter. Terry, Fos ter, Wilson, Seymour, Benliam, Hatch, and others. At Fort Pulaski he filled a conspic uous part; he displayed the greatest courage and coolness at Oiustee; he was most effic ient through the Morris Island campaign; on the expeditions from Hilton Head last summer and fall he was of great service, and as Provost Marshal General ho has been most efficient. Solon Shingle.—' The Davenport Cornbi ! nation Troupe announced “Solon Shingle” !iu their biil for Monday night. The piece it self nerds no introduction to our readers— those who.have not seen it have read of it, and knew that it is very funny, and very philosophical, and has a good moral to it. We will only say that this Company have the talent and the force to prod acre it in good style, and we believe that with it they will get up one of the best performances they have yet given. Mr. Herndon does Solon, in u strong cast, and the bill has another good piece and several minor features to recom mend it. Review or Colored Tuoops.—Yesterday there was a very fine review of some colored troops on the line grounds on the outskirts ofthe city. They were not only reviewed but were inspected by Gen. Beth Williams, who expressed liis admiration of their excellent drill and discipline, of their readiness for in -1 speetion on a totally unexpected short notice, 1 and of the fine appearance and behaviour iu I every regard. Black Mail.— This is n subject of which we hear a good deal in these days. Up to tho inception of the present war this crime was scarcely hear !of in America, and it is thereto!e one of the numerous evils that at tend war—one of the ills to afflict mankind like thoso that flew out when the box of Pan dora was opened. Black mail is a term said to be used in contradistinction to white mail. The word mail is from the French maille, an old French coin of less value, we believe, than a penny. It is said to have been first used in the North ot ring land, where, during the unsettled time after wars, parties of rob bers aud freebooters used to make incursions on the peaceful inhabitants, and exacted a certain sum, t called black mail, from tiie people in order to procure ex emption from pillage. Also certain powerful families were supposed to be in league with these robbers, and on the pay ment of a certain sum would agiee to have j others protected. This is ihe origin of black i mail. The term at present indicates the taking of a sum of money by a public aud acd sworn officer of the law to grant favors t > individuals. It is of course a crime pun ishable at common law ; aud scarcely any crime has so great a tendency to undermine the foundation ot society—as thereby the law is not only executed, but becomes in tue hands ot vile ministers or agents a pos itive evil. ] Rcy.

[From the CharleatonCourier, March IT ] Removal.— The office of the “Courier” will be removed to No. 40 Broad street, as soon as the necessary arrangements can be effected. The change will probably take place on or about the first of next month. — It was contemplated moving the establish ment to No. 215 Broad street, but it was dis covered that another building would better serve our purpose. Wood.— Notwithstanding the abundance of wood that is in the vicinity of Charleston, there appears to be a great scarcity in the market. It is with great difficulty that pri vate families can find a supply sufficient to enable theni to do common cooking. At a tew miles in the country the wood is cut and piled up in cords, ready to be transported to any given point. It seems to us the owners of this property might do a profitable busi ness by having it brought to the city. Botli officers aud citizens are dependent almost wholly on wood for fuel, the small supply of coal which was found in the city having become exhausted. Owners of wood in the country, having teams at their disposal, might bring a supply to this market where it would meet with a quick sale, and on their return home take a load of groceries and provisions for their families. Wood is an article we cannot easily dispense with, and w r e hope the present scarcity will not long prevail. The demand for it will, in a short time, when manufacturers, who use steam engines in their establishments, get thorough ly under way, be considerably enhanced.— Then, don’t fail to let us have wood. [From the Charleston Courier, March 1 New Offices.— The opening yesterday, by order of Colonel Woodford, otYour addition al offices for administering the Oath of Alle giance, caused great satisfaction among the citizens. Notwithstanding the additional facilties offered, each office was crowded dur ing the regular hours with anxious appli cants. We trust, however, the pressure will be nearly over in a day or two. The Weather.— Yesterday we were visit ed with both a gleam of sunshine and a dash of rain In the morning the weather was extremely unpleasant in consequence of the frequent showers; but in the afternoon the sun came out, and, at intervals gave us promise of a fair sky for the remainder of the day. March, however, is a treacherous month, and we cannot count with much cer tainty on favorable weather. From the Charleston Courier, March IT. Funeral of Lieut. Charles H. Brad ford.—Tlie city, yesterday, beheld an ini posing military display, one which derives much of its interest, from the fact that it was another instance of the vindication of Ameri can authority aud the redress of an indignity which, eighteen months ago, had been in dieted on the remains of a gallant and patri otic officer. In an attack made on Fort Sumter on the 7th of September, lt<(s3, Lieut. Charles H. Bradford, of the U. S. Marine Corps, was mortally wounded and brought up to the Federal Prisoner’s Hospital in this city. Soon after his arrival, he sent for Dr. Albert G. Mackey, well known and distinguished for his uncompromising and unwavering devo tion to the Union Flag. He had also been the warm friend aud Masonic associate of Lieut. Bradford’s father. Dr. Mackey at tended his young friend throughout his ill ness, administered with fraternal kindness to his wants, watched by his bedside, and. on his deatii, which took place on the 23d of September, had his body carried to the Ma sonic Burial Ground in' Magnolia Cemetery, where, by himself and his two sons, tlie on ly witnesses of the ceremony, it was con signed to a respectable grave. » The threats and wiient denunciations of some rabid secessionists, exasperated at the honors thus paid to the remains of an enemy, were that night communicated by the then keeper of the Cemetery to Dr. Mackey, and lie was, under these ‘threats, compelled to disinter the body and conduct it to Potter's Field, where it was again buried. There it has remained, the spot having been carefully marked for the purpose of future identifica tion, until the evacuation of the citv. Most of these facts were made known by a-deserter from the Federal Prisoner's Hos pital to the officers of the blockading squad ron, and on the arrival of Admiral Dahlgren iu the harbor lie immediately took the nec essary steps for vindicating the honor of the flag and restoring the remains to the spot from which they had been ejected. In accordance with this plan tlie coffin containing the body was disinterred and ta ken from Potter s Feld at nine o’clock Thurs day morning, and carried to St. Paul a Church, under escort of a detachment of th e One Hundred and Fovty-lburth Regiment, New York Volunteers. At eleven o’clock ihe body was brought into the Church and received at the door b v the Rev. John Blake, U. S. N., Chaplain to the UnitedStty.es steamer “New Hampshire, ’ who commenced to read the burial servi ee of tho Episcopal Church, aud continued until tbe cotfiu was deposited in front of the altar. The remains were followed by Admiral Dahlgren ; Lieutenant Commander Brad- ford, Chief es Admiral Dahlgren’s Stall; Lieutenant Commander Mathews ; Colonel Woodruff, Commandant of the Post ; Gener al Hatch and staff; Captain Fillibrown, U. S. steamer “Sonora;” Captain Dana, U. S. steamer “PotomskaCaptain Barrett, Monitor “Catskill Captain Lewis, Monitor “Nantucket;’’ Captain Dyer, U. S. steamer “Home;” Captain Phiuney, Captain Redding, Paymaster Watmougk, Fleet-, Judge Advo cate, Charles Cowley and a large number of Army and Navy officers and citizens. Not withstanding the threatening aspect of the weather there was a good attendance, and tU ’ seafs both in the body of the Church aud the galleries were nearly all occupied. [From the Char eston Courier, March 17, ] There is nothing of marked importance transpiring within the lines of the Depart ment .of the South. Brigadier-General Pot ter still holds the advance in the direction of the Santee liiver. No large force of robe’s is in his immediate front. Tlie road between here and Columbia is said to be infested with guerillas; but they do not seem to have caused any special injury. A few days ago a gentleman arrived lrom Columbia who sam that be was stopped on tlie route by toui ot \v uccltT $ scouts. After uig lum as to his intentions they let him pass. A report reaches us from Georgetown that the colored men in the vicinity have been giving the inhabitants some trouble. It is understood that Admiral Dahlgren has sent a force of men to guard the place, so that in ffitnre the pea&» of the community will be maintained. [From the Chariestdi Correspondence of the Pfirt Uojil New South.] By order of Brig.-Gen. Hatch, Dr. A G. Mackey has been appointed C’ity Inspector, and four other gentlemen have been; ppoint ed to act as his assistants, Under tneir di rection a large force of laborers has been set to work cleaning the various streets. In . a short time we shall witness a wonderful j improvement in the condition of the city, | and lie prepared to allay onr apprehensions i as to a visit from fevers and epidemics dur | ing the coining hot season. It gives us pleasure to record a noble and ! worthy act recently performed by Union offi | cers They subscribed among" themselves | toward tlie raising of One Hundred dollars ! which they presented to Mr. C. B. Webb, a | Udion man of Charleston who, assisted by i ins wife, humanely provided for the well ! being of many of the Union prisoners con- I fined in the prisons of the city last summer. ! The money was raised for the purpose of giving Mr. Webb an opportunity of furnish ing himself with tools to engage in business. Since the occupation of the city by the Union forces a remarkable number of fires have occurred They are doubtless the work of boy incendiaries, who have the plunder of wood, lead and iron as an object The build | ings burned were unoccupied. One day tills week, while a small boat, Juninta was crossing Georgetown bar it en • countered a severe gale and was capsized. Nine of them were drowned. Acting Master Hamilton and Acting Master’s Mate Taft were on board. We did not learn the name of the rescued man. COLUMN OP PERSONALS. Our friend, McClellan, arrived at Liverpool on the _ sth, and left on the oth for London. His decision is surprising. We should have thought that it would have taken a week for iiim to decide whither to go, and then anoth er week to decide how to "go it. He was in Paris at tlie last dates received, at the Hotel <le I'Em/nre. He might Lave been at that Hotel de l’Empire called the White House, had he known how to win the title of Im perator. Gov. Low, of California, has by far the largest salary of any of our State Governors. He has £7OOO a year in gold. The next high est salaries for Governors are in New York aud Pennsylvania—£4ooo in currency. The following named officers of tlie Reg ular Army have been retired since the last published list by the Retiring Board at Wil mington:—Capt. Norman J. Hall, Fifth U. S. Artillery; Captain W. F. Goodwin, Six teenth U. S. Infantry ; Captain J. H. Kel logg, First U. S. Cavalry; Captain Henry C. Gapen, Fifteenth U. S. infantry: Lieu tenant T. W. Sullivan, Fourth U. S. Cavalry; Lieutenant John H. Butler, Second U. S. Artillery; Lieutenant. T. W. Simson, Sixth U. S. Cavalry; Lieutenant Thomas S. Doe blur, Fourteenth U. S. Infantry; all on ac count of wounds received or sickness con tracted in the line of their duty. Almost all the northern papers seem to have a good word for Mr. Gilmore Simms, the author of a number of novels which have enjoyed a great popularity in their day. The Boston Traveller says: Mr. Gilmore Simms, the Southern novelist, lost his library, of 10,000 volumes, through the advance of our forces to Midway. He had to run and leave it. He should have sent it off before, but probably he shared that common delusion which believed the Con federacy invincible. We hope no harm was done tiie library, and that it will fie restored to him undamaged, as his novels are good, and we of the North like to read them. A splendid service of plate, prepared for the Emperor Maximilian, is exhibiting iu Paris. A more complete and sumptuous set of plates aud dishes was scarcely ever seen, and tiie spectacle is calculated to give a grtlnd idea, no* only of the hospitable thoughts upon which the New Emperor of Mexico is intent, but also of the extent of his pecuniary resources. THIS CONFEDERATE TAX-BILE. (From the Richmond Examiner, March SJ » Both Houses of Congress succeeded yes terday in passing a tax law. It levies a'tax ot eight per cent on all property not express ly taxed at a different rate ; on specie aud biil of exchange twenty per cent, aud on currency live per cent. The interest on gov ernment bonds is taxed as income. Upon profits made by buying aud selling merchan dise ot property of any discretion, between the years oi 18G5 and I8(!fi, a tax of ten per cent is levied, in addition to the tux on such profits as income, and upon all profits ex ceeding twenty-five percent a tax*of twenty five per cent is ordered. The property, the income and moneys of hospitals, asylums, schools and charitable institutions are ex empt from taxation. All property within-the lines of the enemy is to be exempt from tax ation as long as it remains within such lines. The taxes are made clue and are collected ou the first day of June next, oue-liait to be paid iu Treasury notes and the other-half at the option of the party, in certificates of in debtedness, without, any allowance of inter est. It is also provided that uporr all sub jects of taxation mentioned in this act and the act approved the 17th of February, 18G4, there shall be levied for the vear ]B(i4 an additional tax equal to one-eighth of the amount of tax on tlie same subjects imposed for the year 1805, which tax shall be payable iu Treasury notes ot tbe new issue, and the money arising therefrom shall be first appro priated to the payment of the increased compensation of the soldiers, provided that this additional tax shall not be construed to apply to or increase the tax iu kind. The foliow’ing important section is given at length :-rr- ** Congress having intended that the act of February 18th, 1804, a, amended by the act oi Juno 14th, should be repealed the sanft is hereby repealed; and all the taxes imposed by this act shall he paid without any discount or credit for the value of the tax m kind or the income tax ; and all the taxes or incomes and profits under existing laws shall be paid without any credit or de duction of the ad valorem tax.
