Newspaper Page TextThe Savannah Daily Herald. WEDNESDAY, MARCH ‘43. I*o3- nton Oi l* EVESIXO edition OF YESTERDAY. Arrival of Distinguished Visitors. A Steamboat Load of Members of Confess and other Honorable Cientlenien, with Many Ladies. FILL LIST OF THEIR JAMES ISO PIBLIC POSITIONS. Who they are; What they are, and what they fame for. This morning, the noble Jlittls steamboat, VV. W. Coit, arrived from Charleston, bring ing to our quiet and beantitul city a throng of distinguished gentlemen, and such a he\ > ot 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 ga> and joyous procession of eminent northern people left the crowded little boat and stream ed up the winding road leading horn the river to the top of the hill,it seemed as if a spee dy peace mast he at hand, for their welcome presence seemed indeed a most happy P l ')- mise of the ‘-good time coming,”—that good time for which, though we all, of all shades of political thought, both North and South, w’ish so earnestly, and would be willing to sacrifice so much, yet for which we fear we must still be content 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 L ppcr and Lower Houses being represented. There are also a number of ex-members of the Cabinet and Honorable gentlemen who have held and do hold other eminent positions, and still are not Congressmen. The fairer halt of the party consists of the wives of feme of the honorable Congressmen, the daughters and nieces of others, and other ladies well known in the higher circles of Washington society.

The distinguished persons left Charleston last evening, and the passage was very pleas ant. Ahe Special Session of the Senate was dosed on Saturday, March lltli, and it is this release trom their public cares and duties, which has enabled the Congressmen to enjoy this holiday. They have worked hard in this session, aud have accomplished much, and it seems but 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 onrnber of cities which have been closed against Northern men, and they were desirous of visiting towns with which some of them had formerly been familiar, and in which they had many friends, hut 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 ft tour of al the various places of interest, visiting Fortl Moultrie, Fort Sumter, and Cummings Point. Mauv reflections, sad and pleasing were in dulged in, as the scenes of the great drama on which the eyes of the wtyjle country, and of the friends of the American Union every where, have been anxiously' turned dating the past three years, were passed in review. Here were the immensely strong works ot Moultrie, stretching quietly along the shore under the Stars and Stripes which so longbid defiance to our united forces by sea and land, and from before which Admiral Dupont’s mon itor fleet had been forced to retire. Here was the almost shapeless mound of Sumter, lying sullen and vanquished, yet irradiated by the bright banner of Freedom and the LTnion, to keep its place there, hereafter, forever. All win looked upon the ruin felt that, in suc ceeding years many would come and gaze upon this enduring monument of the rebel lion. as marking the spot where the monster struck its first biow, and wheve it lies buriel forever. The tourists wandered through tit streets of the shattered city, noting with pail ful interest the marks of destruction and def lation which everywhere met their view; id reflecting upon the sorrow aud misery whfh the pride and madness of the fanatical leatirs of the rebellion had entailed upon the lid; which had broken up so many homes, md plunged an innocent people into mouring , and distress. t The party having made a thorough ini ec tion of Charleston, returned on board heir steamer, the W. W. Coit, and evening for this city. As soon as the ladies and gentlemeijdis embarked, they were escorted by theton. Simeon Draper to the Pulaski House, icre, after a few minutes rest, and such sligj ad justment of the toilet as the ladies dined requisite to the improvement of their >oks before their appearance before the ple of Savannah, who, of course, wercer tain to be looking with all their <s — [ a long retinue of carriages, omnilises and ambulances drove up, and the tire party started for a drive through our ] ely citv They did not attempt, to keep t( th i^.»vußtir ted ’ cac ' ,w,iebe ' T i hie The weather was not the moat pleaL i as it rained mildly, but the change fronlL i cold gabs of the North to the balmy aiiif | this miher latitude have a most favoral ; impress !, n on the visitors. The ladies wc\ espech’iy delighted to see flowers in ful, bloo- in all the gardens, and the fruit tree; in loss °m, at a time of year when the mou | ot hem Bad accustomed to snow ami gtst. j tn the Ordnance Yard, where many thou sand rounds of shot and shell, and many hundred stands ot grape shot are symmetri cally piled, they had an opportunity to n ‘•five precisely wliat arguments had- ~ cn employed by Gen. Sherman to oorp J, ” e llie people of the South of the err- 3 of tlie ' r way. ) Those them who ex' ,lded their drive hr the defences of t^ e city, could form aver good idea, tip* more especially so, as ithe/ had a good view of the water batteries i vhlc coming «p the river, of the obstacles ! ith which our soldier boys have had to eon tul in the course of their proselyting labors 1 iithe South. In the debris of the burnt Arsenal they j C'Hd see the still remaining evidences of the | dbolicalattempt to blow up the city, and : d-itroy its inhabitants, while a glance across tl- river showed them a glimpse of the low svunpy shore of that wretched State of Siith Carolina, whose red-hot politicians firt invoked the presence of tho God of Var. laviug satisfied their curiosity, the guests retimed to the Pulaski House, well content witi their hasty visit, and most favorably irn preseu with the beauty of Savannah as com pand with the desolation of wrecked and ruimd Charleston. At two o’clock an excellent dinner was servtd up in the Ladies’ Ordinary at the Pulaski House, of which all heartily partook. One of the more luxurious features of the old Roman feasts was imitated, for two ex cellent hands of music were present to play during dinner. These were the fine band of the 9th Conn. Batt. V. V., under Professor Christian Streit, and the excellent brass hand | of the 14th New Hampshire Vols., under the | leadership of Mr. George Day. Asa Guard of Honor, a detachment, of the 12th Maine V. V., under Sergeant Georgb | W. Ames, was present. Alter dinner was over, the party rested for the remainder of the afternoon, in order that, in case they should decide not to return to day to Hiltou Head, they might be in good trim iq 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 the disposal of the party for the use oT themselves aud friends in case they should conclude to accept the invitation. The bill for the occasion includes ‘ Solon Shingle, or The People’s Lawyer,” and Sketches in India, or the Stage-Struck Tai ior. An unusually brilliant and fashionable audience will undoubtedly fill the house tc niglit, and an excellent opportunity will be affouled to see the distinguised gentlemen and the ladies of the Party. ARRIVAL OF AN ESAPED UNION OFFICER. Captain Join Rourke, commanding a bat ery in Mullgan’s Irish Brigade, arrived at Hilton Headiast Friday, having escaped from Confederate Imprisonment. He had a/iong and perilous trip, and was five times the. hands of the enemy, but succeeded, 1 f Yankee ingenuity, in escaping every time. He left C< umbia ten days after its evacua tion by Gen Sherman. After hii first escape lie was caught by some of W 1 jeler’s scouts, disguised in Fed eral uuifon. He escaped on a fictitious document, ith which he succeeded in pro viding hinifc If, and which informed citizens officers and soldiers that he was furloughed from the rel ?1 army on account of a wound received in An engagement. The trick was discovered,but too late for his recapture. He foundmany Union people on his route, but the Softli Carolinians who remain ioyal to the Coifederacy were so bitter he was obliged to u|e great caution. Capt. Roijrke will go North to-morrow. The Chimes in St. Johns Church. —Upon the completion of the St. Johns Church, on the west side of Madison Square, corner of Bull aud 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 Tegularly, but have been silent 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, aud Prof. Freeberthyser guarantees that upon re-hanging the bells with their bowls upwards, the sound will ascend and be 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-hang the bells and perform on them. Let the merry merry peals of tho chimes be heard miles away, cheering the people and adding 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 os *i, e Eagle oyster and refreshment sa loon, in the f p ost office, at Hilton Head.

His prices are so low that his patrons can live very economically, and at the same time live well. Tiif. Supply of Ale.— Many saloons in this city, where this beverage is sold, to offi cers and citiz?ns only, are without a supply, and their punps are dry as well as lheir cus tomers. .Time is, we learn, at Hilton Head, a large supply ; hut it cannot be shipped at present. Personal.— Col. Gurney, of the 127th New York, vho was severely wounded in the battle ofDeveaux' Neck, returned by the Baltic, havirg sufllciently recovered to be able to resune command of his regiment.

FESSENDEN. * Secretary of the Treasury. Iv - But as the trade withiu a Military Department must, for Military reasons, be so far subject to the control of the Army authorities as not to permit con traband trade with the enemy, no persons will be al lowed to sell goods at either Hilton Head or Fernan dina until they have obtained the consent of the Post commander, as indicated in Paragraph I, of this order. In such cases, the Post Commander will immediately forward to these Headquarters a copy of the permit granted with the invoice of goods attached. ' All existing permits to conduct any kind of busi ness within the Department will expire on the first day ol May,,1865, and all persons holding sncli permits must, in order to continue their business, obtain from the Post Commandant the authority required by Para graph I. ol this order. VI. Each Post Commander will make, on the first of each month, to the General commanding the Depart th®.rep°rt required by the Fifth Paragraph of VII. Ail permits for trade or any business, given hv Post Commandants, as hereinbefore will hi at any time subject to be revoked by either the Pr«t or Department Commanders. VIII. Special Field Order No. 13, dated. Head die ters, Military Division of the Mississippi, January i6?h' 1565, is herewith re.published for tne information nf the command: 01 Headq’rs Military Division of the Mississippi. In the Field, Savannah, Ga„ Jan 15 imv Special Field Orders, ) ’ ’ aos ‘ No. 13. f The Department of the South having beea nlarort withiu the sphere or this command, and it being hi7.h „ desirable that an uniform policy prevail touching meree and intercourse with the inhabitants of th* South, the following general rules and principles wilt be adnered to unless modified by law or the order* rs the W ar Department. I Commerce witn foreign nations cannot be per nutted or undertaken until the national authority- L established to an extent that will give the necesd,™ courts and officers to control and manage such ters. Trade will be confined to a mere barter proportioned to the necessary wants of the armv of the inhabitants dependant on it, for the necessart*. of life, and even that trade must be, kept subject t,. strict military control or surveillance. J lo 11. Trade stores will be permitted at Beaufort Bit ton Head, Savannah. Fernandina, St. Augustine »mi Jacksonville, in all articles of food and clothing gro ceries, ladies’ and childrens' goods generally and ant cles not contraband of war. 111. To trade is a privilege, and no person will h P allowed to buy and sell for profit unless he be a citizen of the United States, end subscribe to any oath or obligatiou that is or may be prescribed bylaw and at points threatened by any enemy, the officer com manding may further exact as a condition, that the trader shall himself engage to serve, in some military capacity, to aid in defense of the place. 1 IV. Persons desiring to trade will apply to the com manding officer of the Post and obtain his written consent, specifying the kind, nature and extent of the trade, and when he requires importations from North ern Cities he will in like manner apply for his Permit The commanding Officer of the Post may appoint fame good officer to supervise these matters, who will requently inspect the stores, and yvhen there is not sufficient competition will fix the prices of sale These stores will in like manner be subject to the super vision of the Commanding General of the Department of the South by himself, or an Inspector General. V. In order that purchases may be made with economy, the commanding officer of each Post yvill make reports of his action in regard to trade, with the mimes of traders, amounts of goods desired for sale &c., to the commanding general of the department’ who yvill in like manner, make full report to the Sec retary of the Uuited States Treasury, to the end that he may instruct the collectors of ports from which shipments are expected as to the necessary permits and clearances. It being utterly impracticable that a general commanding military operations should give bis personal attention to such matters, it is desirable that as much power as possible should be delegated to Post commanders, and they should be held, to the strictest account that no trade is permitted injurious to the military interests of the United States. VI. Sales of cotton will be restricted absolutely to the United States Treasury agents, and no title iu cot ton or bill of sale yvill be respected until after the cot tan is sold at New York. Country people having small lots of cotton are permitted to bring the same in to be exchanged for food and clothing for their fami lies. The Quartermaster yvill set aside a store or warehonse.to yvhich each yvagon beariug cotton,will af ter entering the military lines, proceed direct, to where an agent of the Treasury Department will receive and weigh the same, and pay for it the price fixed in the Bth section of the Act of Congress, approved July 2, 1804, viz, three-fourths the value of cotton as quoted in the New York market; and the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby requested to make appointments of agents to carry out the provisions of said act'at the posts of Hilton Head, Savannah, Fernandina and Jacksonville. VII. In qrdcr that the duties hereby imposed on commanding officers of Posts may not be neglected or slighted by the changes incident to rauk and changes of troops, the Commanding General of the Depart ment of the South yvill appoint a special officer to com mand at each of said Posts, with a small garrison, not to be changed yvithout his orders ; and yvhen other troops, commanded by a senior, are added or arrive, the command of the post yvill not change, but the ad ditional troops will be encamped near by aud act ac cording to special instructions.
