The Savannah Daily Herald. TUESDAY, MARCH Sit 1863. Emin; |nm Arrival of Distinguished Visitors. A Steamboat Load ol Member* «* Cong/ - e*s ami oilier Honorable Ueiitleineti. with Many Ladies. FILL LIST OF Til LIU HIMES AM) PIBI.It POSITIONS. Who ihey are; What they are, and ulial they came for. This morning, the noble Jlittle steamboat, 1 W. W. Colt, arrived from Charleston, bring ing to our quiet and beautiful city a throng of distinguished gentlemen, and such a bevy of lovely and elegant ladies as have not visited Savannah before since the old, old time when all was peace, which now seems so long, so very long ago. As the gav .-.ad procession of eminent northern ti:. v. <1 1 li.tlebo.it and stream , ;:r, v' . : 11 1 r- 1 »«1 ic tiling from the r., : of tiw hill, it seemed as ifa spee dy i> .c ... id be at hand, for their welcome presence seemed indeed a most happy pro mise of the “good time coming,"—that good time for which, though w T e all, of all shades of political thought, both North and South, wish so earnestly, and would be willing to sacrifice so much, yet for which we tear we must still be coutent to “wait a little longer.” The party consists of about fifty or sixty people, the gentlemen being many of them members of Congress, both the Upper and Lower Houses being represented. There are also a number of ex-members of the Cabinet aud Honorable gentlemen who have held and do hold other eminent positions, and still are not Congressmen. The fail'l l half of the party consists of the wives of some of the honorable Congressmen, the daughters and nieces of others, and other ladies well known in the higher circles of Washington society. Among them are two nieces of Major-General W. T. Sherman, who had a very natural desire to behold in the Department of the South on which he lias so thoroughly impressed his sign-man ual, the records of his grim handiwork. The full list of these, our city's guests, is appended—we also give, for the information of our readers who may not have borne these facts in mind, the political status of each, and the State from which he hails. No pre cedence of rank was observed in the disem barkation, but, as the little steamboat drew up to the dock at the foot of Drayton street, the party hastened ashore, eager to see whatever sights might he before them. The record of names is as follow's: Senators.— llou. L. F. S. Foster, Connec ticut; Hon. Lott M. Morrill, Maine; Hon. Solomon Foote, Vermont; Hon. James R. Doolittle, Wisconsin; Hon. James W. Grimes, Iowa; lion. Lyman Trumbull, Iowa; Hon. John Sherman, Ohio; lion. 15. F. Wade, Ohio; Hon. Alex. Rauisey, Minneso ta ; Hon Mr. Norton, Minnesota. Rkpkesknt.vtives.— Hon. F. A. Pike Maine ; Hon. Justin S. Morrill, Vermont • Hon. A. W. Clark, New York. Ladies, and Gentlemen with Ladies. Mrs. Foote, two Misses Foote, Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Hurlhurt, Mrs. Poster Miss Lanman, Mrs Ramsey, Miss Morrill, Miss Thomas, Mrs. ami Miss Doolittle, Mrs. and Miss Pike, Miss Cameron, Mrs. Trumbull, Miss Blair; Judge Loring, of the U S Court of Claims, and two daughters; Miss Sherman and Miss \\ illock,nieces ot Gen W i 1 Sherman; j\lr Dinsmore, President, of Adams Express Company,and Mrs. Dinsmore; MrS P Brown, Naval Agent, and Mrs Brown, Washington, DC; Gen Dewitt C. Clayk, Executive Clerk' United States Senate; Mr. Morton McMicluel, Philadelphia, Publisher North American ; j Mr J I) Fell aiul wife, Philadelphia; Mr and Mrs Parsons, Ohio; Mr Cowan, Penn; Gen Simon Cameron, late Secretary of War; Ex - Senator Preston King, New York; Major Batcheler and wife; Mrs. Grimes; Miss Nellie MoMicliael, daughter of Hon. Morton MeMichael. The distinguished persons left Charleston last evening, and the passage was very pleas ant. The Special Session of the Senate was closed on Saturday, March 11th, and it is this release from their public cares and duties, which lias enabled the Congressmen to enjoy this holiday. They have worked hard in this session, and have accomplished much, sind it -‘■emsbut. fair that they should have some time and season for recuperation after their winter’s toil. The late Union success es in the Department of the South have opened a number of cities which have been dosed against Northern men, and they were des'rous of visiting towns with which some of them had formerly been familiar, and iu which they had many friends, but all were stimulated by a very natural curiosity to step into the wake of a victorious army and be hold for themselves the fearful cost which Rebels have paid and are paying for the few sweets of Rebellion. At Charleston the party made a tour of al the various places of interest, visiting Fortl Moultrie, Fort Sumter, aud Cummiug’s Point. Many reflections, sad and pleasing were in dulged in, as the scenes ol‘ the great drama on which the eyes of the whole country, aud of the friends of the American Union every where, have been anxiously turned daring the p.ist three years, were passed in review. Here were the immensely strong works of Moultrie, stretching quietly along the shore under the Stars and Stripes which so long bid defiance to our united forces by sea and land, ami from before which Admiral Dupont's rnon itor fleet had been loreed to retire. Here was the almost shapeless mound of Sumter, lying sullen and vanquished, yet irradiated by the bright banner of Freedom and the Union, to keep its place there, hereafter, forever. All who looked upon the ruin felt that in suc | eeeding years many would come and gaze upon this enduring monument of the rebel , lion, as marking the spot where the monster struck its first blow, aud where it lies buried | forever. The tourists wandered through the streets of the shattered city, noting with pain ful interest the marks of destruction and deso lation which everywhere met their view; and reflecting upon the sorrow and misery which the pride and madness of the fanatical leaders ol the rebellion had entailed upon the land; w hich had broken up so many homes, and plunged an innocent people into mourning and distress. The party having made a thorough inspec tion of Charleston, returned on board their steamer, the W. VV. Coit, and sailed last evening for tlih city. As soon as the ladies and gentlemen dis embarked, they were escorted by the Hon. Simeon Draper to the Pulaski House. Here, after a few minutes rest, and such slight ad justment of the toilet as the ladies deemed requisite to the improvement of their.looks before their appearance before the good peo ple of Savannah, who, of course, were cer tain to be looking with all their eyes— a long retinue of carnages, omnibusses aud ambulances drove up, and the entire party started for a drive through our lovely city. They did not attempt to keep togeth er, hut now separated, each little bevy going whither it listed. Tiie weather was not the mo.st pleasant, as it rained mildly, but the change from the cold gales of the North to the balmy airs of this milder latitude have a most favorable impression on the visitors. The ladies were especially delighted to see flowers in full bloom in all the* gardens, and the fruit trees in blossom, at a time of year w’ben the most of them had been accustomed to snow and frost. In the Ordnance Yard, where many thou sand rounds of shot and shell, and many hundred stands of grape shot are symmetri cally piled, they had an opportunity to per ceive precisely what arguments had been employed by Gen. Sherman to convince the people of the South of the errors of their way. Those of them who extended their drive as far as the defences of the city, could form a very good idea, the more especially so, as they had a good view of the water batteries while coming up the river, of the obstacles with which our soldier boys have had to con tend in the course of their proselyting labors in the South. in the debris of the burnt Arsenal they could see tlie still remaining evidences of the diabolical attempt to blow - up tiie city, and destroy its inhabitants, while a glance across the river showed them a glimpse of the low swampy shore of that wretched State of South Carolina, whose red-hot, politicians flivt invoked the presence of the God of War. Having satisfied their cariosity, the guests returned to the Pulaski House, well content with their hasty visit, and most favorably im pressed with the beauty of Savannah as com pared with the desolation of wrecked and ruined Charleston. To*: Congressional Party at tiik Tiika trr.—By iuvitatiou of Manager Taggart, the Congressional Party will visit the theatre this evening. The bill for the occasion in cludes “Solon Shingle, or The People’s Law- yir,” anil “Sketches in India, or .the Stage- Stiin k Tailor.” An unusually brilliant anil fashionable audience will undoubtedly till the bouse to-night, and an excellent opportunity wifi be afforded to see tiie distinguised gentle men and the ladies of tiie Party. At three o’clock an excellent dinner was j served up in the Ladies’ Ordinary at the Pulaski House, of which all heartily partook. One of the more luxurious features of the old Roman leasts was imitated, for two ex cellent bands of music were present to play during dinner. These were the fine band of the Oth Conn. Batt. Y. V., under Professor Christian Stveit, and the excellent brass band of the 11th New Hampshire Vols., under the leadership of Mr. George Day. ‘ Asa Guard of Honor a detachment of the 12th Maine V. ~ under Sergeant George W. Ames, was present. Alter dinner was over the party rested for the. remainder of the afternoon, in order that, in ease they should decide not to return to day to Hilton Head, they might be iu gocxl trim to accept the invitation to the Theatre this evening; which invitation .has been courteously tendered by the gentlemanly managers, Messrs. Taggart and Davenport. All the private boxes of the Theatre have been placed at tlie disposal of the part}' for the use of themselves aud friends in ease they should conclude to accept the invitation. Q' ABTKSMABTEII OK THE DELEGATION.— ( apt. Juo. \ . Durey, A. Q. M of Volunteers, ! 18 Quartermaster ot the distinguished i party. Uur reporter is indebted to him for tavors. AKRIVAL OK AN ESAPEU I.MOAf OFFICER. Captain John Ifourke, commanding a hat cry in Mulligau’s Irish Brigade, arrived at Hiiton Head last Friday, having escaped from Confederate imprisonment. He had a long and perilous trip, and was five times in the hands of the enemy, but succeeded, by Yankee ingenuity, in escaping •‘very time. lie left Columbia ten days after its evacua tion by Gen. Sherman. After his first escape he was caught by some of Wheeler's scouts, disguised in Fed eral uniform. He escaped on a fictitious document, with which he succeeded in pro viding himself, and which informed citizens officers and soldiers that he was furloughed from the rebel army <m account of a wound received in an engagement. The trick was discovered, but too late for his recapture. He found many Union people on his route, but the South Carolinians who remain ioyal to the Confederacy were so bitter he was obliged to use great caution. Capt. Rourke will go North to-morrow. , The Chimes in Sr. Johns Church. —Upon the completion of the St. Johns Church, on the west side of Madison Square, corner o’ Bull and Charlton streets, the congrega tion was presented by Mr. Joseph S. Fay, then a resident merchant of Savannah, now of Boston, with a sett of chime bells, manu factured by Menally & Sous, Albany, New York. For a long time the bells were rung regularly, but have been sileut since the war. Upon inquiry, we learn that from the man ner in which the bells are hung, when they are rung, they deafen the ears of all in the neighborhood; the bowls of the bells hang ing down, the sound descends to the earth, thereby causing the nuisance complained of. One of our reporters with Prof. Martin Free berthyser, one of the Original Swiss Bell Ringers, visited the bell tower of the church, and Prof. Freeberthyser guarantees that upon re-hanging the bells with their howls upwards, the sound will ascend and he dis persed, thus doing away with unpleasant re sonance complained of by citizens living near the church. We hope to see a subscription set on foot, and the services of Prof. Free berthyser secured to re-bang the bells and perform on them. Let the merry merry peals of the chimes be heard jniles away, cheering the people and addiqg another charm to the city. Good Living.— Persons visiting Hilton Head, who wish good living while there,are referred to the advertisement of Peter Fitzger ald, in another column Fitz is the propri etor of the Eagle oyster and lefreshment sa loon, in tlye rear of the Post Office, at Hilton Head. He has the best facility for obtaining oysters, clams, meats, poultry, vegetables, fish, and all that is necessary to run a first class eating saloon. His prices are so low that his patrons can live very economically, aud at the same time live well. The Supply ok Ale.— Many saloons in this city, where this beverage is sold, to offi cers and citizens only, are without a supply, and their pumps are dry as well as their cus tomers. There is, we learn, at Hilton Head, a large supply ; but it cannot be shipped at present. Personal. — Col.
