The Savannah Daily Herald. THl T HBDAY< MARCH S3i 1865. FROM OUR EVENINO EDITION OF YESTERDAY. Cam* Thieves Arrested.— On Monday night last, a valuable cow was stolen from the outbuilding of the residence of Mrs. E. S. Waring, corner of South Broad and Barnard streets. A colored man, who had also lost a cow, found, on Mflhduy night, two “gen tlemen’'of copper color and of African de scent, driving the cow of Mrs. Waring to slaughter. Upon his making inquiries as to what they were doing with the animal, he was replied to in a manner that made it nec essary for his lower extremities to carry the upper out of danger, by a decided improve ment on the double-quick, otherwise nothing would ever have beeu known of the olfence of stealing Mrs. Waring’s valuable milch cow. The colored gentleman who had to take such expeditious care of his person, having recognized the offenders when he approach ed them, lodged a complaint with the Chief of Police, who immediately had arrested Rufus Knight and Richard Golden, individ uals of the contraband jiersuasion, butchers in the Savanu&h market. The cattle thieves having been brought to the olHce of the Po lice, were examined, and it was ascertained that Knight and Golden are consummate rogues and thieves of the first older; one of the darkies confessed that the other was a dishonest fellow, us he tried to cheat him out of hit portion of the funds raised by the val uable animal of Mrs. Waring. This morning the thieves were arraigned before Judge Parsons of the First Provost Court. The proof of the commission of the olfence being positive, he ordered that the defendants pay Mrs. Waring $75 for the cow, a hue of $25 each, thirty days each imprison ment in the jail, and at the expiration of the term of imprisonment, the defendants be kept in jail until the above sums are paid. The cattle thieves of this city can, with con siderable certainty make up their minds as to what will be the punishment of the next offenders. Communication i3 again broken between Savannah and Hilton Head. The line had been working finely for the past three days. Bu t last night no circuit could be made between Fort Pulaski and the Head. The line being intact as far as to Fort Pulas ki, the submarine cable is supposed to have beeu ruptured somewhere in Calibogue Sound. Mishaps seem to beset this all im portant line of communication between Headquarters and the District, with a per aistence Aiountiug almost to fatality. No effort has been spared on the part of those having the line in charge, to keep it in per fect order ; but a series of unfortunate ueci dents, which no prudence could have fore seen or averted, have set at nought all their exertions. f • The Arches ox River Shiest.— A thor ough inspection of the arches on this street, which runs from Bay Street to the wharves upon the river, was made yesterday by the Street Commissioner, Capt. Stearns. It was discovered that, in the portion of the street between Barnard and the Exchange, many “nuisances” exist. It wus also found that, in the block between Bull and Whitaker streets, several sinks built many years ago, had become iutoleruble through accumula tions of filth. These spots will be immediately cleaned and purified with lime &c.., and probably closed up to further use at pre sent. * Roubert.— On Tuesday night last the store ol Mrs. Frank, on Jefferson street, was entered and robbed. The padlock on the front door was picked; the lock afforded very little security to the premises. Mrs. Frank is a most unfortunate woman ; everv store that she has ever occupied in this city has received a visit from thieves. Should Mr*. Frank permit fewer loafers about her premises, not allowing them to become fa- miliar with the premises knowing where all ' valuables are concealed, she would cease to he so frequent a sufferer from burglary. No IftwH.—We must ask the indulgence of our readers this afternoon for our lack of news, There is absolutely nothing new which we have not printed. The visit of our Congressional friends yesterday seem to have exhausted all thas can be hoped for in the way of news, and probably our city shall be dull again for a mouth. Bkcoxd Provost Coukt.— This morning the case of Sarah Haywood ••*. C'harlotte-Hay wood, was called case Assault atid’Bat teiy; the defendant plead guilty, having made a justifiable assault, and paid a fine of #8; Plaintiff was fined $4. In the case of Ann Nett vs. Mrs. Butftz, fin- recovery of a child, the child was restored to the Plaintiff. v ' A large number of negro lal>orers, proba bly between 300 and 400, now at work on the cotton-presses city, arc about to bssdischarged. First Pkovost Coukt. — This morning Judge Parsons placed on Ijjfd the hoy Thos. £. Harvey, charged with stabbing a colored boy. The court, after & careful investigation fined the lad Harvey $5. The new State Constitution of Tennessee has been adopted by an overwhelming vote. Newb rnom Shermans’s Abmt.—The Re publican publishes the statement of an officer of Gen. Kilpatrick’s Staff - , just arrived from Fayettville, N. C., and : vouches for its reliability. We make ex j tracts containing pretty much that iB of value: ) Capt. Brink left Fayetteville on the even ing of March 12th; coming down the Cape ! Fear river In one of our transports to Wil mington, a‘distance of 125 miles. The eu ! tire army is in a splendid condition, and was never in*better fighting trim, the vast extent j of country through which they have march i ed affording an abundance of supplies both for man and blast, the people refusing to I obey the orders ot the rebel leaders, to burn up and otherwise destroy all the provisions ; which might fall into the hands ot the Yan kees. The inhabitants of South Carolina have, generally speaking, treated our troops with the greatest respect, and in many cases extended unbounded hospitality, telling our troops they were glad to meet them although it was the eleventh nour. The destruction of Columbia was caused by the fiendishuess of some of its citizens, j who fired upon our troops, nud in return | they applied the torch to the town. General ] Hampton had the pleasure of sotting several dwelling houses ou fire, alleging that he had j rather see them smouldering ruins and ashes than permit the vandals to occupy them. A : great deal of spirituous liquors were found, and many of the guards becomiug intoxica ted, it was impossible to stay the progress of the flames, or to suppress pillage and other ] rjotfcps conduct. Two regiments who had their muskets stacked in a large wooden building, were i unable to save their arms, and their entire accoutrements were destroyed. Kim-atuick’s Glorious Victorv. —At dawn on the morning of the 10th, Gen. Wade Hampton, having captured one of our cou riers the evening previous, and learning from him the exact position of General Kilpatrick’s camp, made an impetuous charge with three divisions, charging in three columns, Gen. Hampton leading the centre column in per son. Gen. Kilpatrick’s force consisted of one brigadejvliick had been out on a reconnoi tenng expedition, and comprised the Ist Ala bama, Col. Spencer, sth Ohio and sth Ken tucky. The little brigade was exhausted with its arduous operations of the two pre ceding days, and as Hampton had learned from the captured courier the precise loca tion of the camp, he had but little difficulty in takiug the command by surprise, dashing directly over our pickets before they could possibly give the alarm. For a short time everything was ’very na turally in a confused state of affairs, but fortunately the ever vigilant Kilpatrick had arisen a few moments prior to the charge, and, although caught in dishabille, he jump ed r.pou horseback and in an instant had Iriff gallant men rallying to the rescue of the Brigade. The rebel Cavalry had completely surrouuded the house occupied as Gen. Kil patrick's Headquarters and in which was Colonel Spencer, aud a portion of General Kilpatrick’s staff, who were unable to make their escape. A gallant Union womau, in whose house General Kilpatrick had his headquarters, stood at the door, and as the ruffians rode up, enquiringdf there were qny Yaukees, she replied there was none in the house save two wounded Yankee privates, and thus succeeded in saving the entire party who were concealed in her house. The lady hearing the demoniac yells of the rebels as they dashed towards her house, seized Gen. Kilpatrick’s famous Battle Flag, which had been borne through so many bat tles, and hid .it beneath some bedding, with Gen Kilpatrick’s coat, which, in his haste, he had not time to put on. An indiscriminate hand to hand fight last ed lor an hour, during which time the bullets whistled through the uoble heroine's dwel ling, completely perforating it on all sides. Gen. Kilpatrick soon hau his men so well in hand, that, recovering from their surprise, they louglit most desperately, each moment gaining on the rebels, who, after a stubborn resistance, found it impossible* to withstand the resistless onslaught of our cavalrymen, aimed with the Spencer rilics aud “sixteen shooters,’’ and they began gradually to retire to n small belt of woods, from which they were finally driven by the furious artillery fire of a section of the 10th Wisconsin Bat tery, under command of Lieuteuant Stedton, who kept up such a savage discharge of shell and grape that made it more than un healthy for the rebels to remain. Driven from this point, Hampton withdrew his forces to a hill where he made an attempt to rally his men, but a feeble front, was all he could show, and in a few moments a charge was made by Gen. Kilpatrick, which created a panic, and the rebels fled in disorder, abandoning their dead and wounded, and leaving a large lot of fine horses, together with quite a quantity of arms and equip ments. General Kilpatrick continued to pursue the retreating forces for nearly two miles, scat tering Hampton’s demoralized ‘ command in all directions, the rebels fleeing to the swamps and woods after throwing away their arms. Among the rebels killed was Gen. Aiken, of South Carolina, who led one of Hampton’s columns, General Hampton's Adjutant Gen eral and several commissioned officers were severely wounded and fell into our hands. The citizens of Fayetteville report that Gen. Wheeler passed through the town in an am bulance in advance of our qntree into Fay etteville, severely wounded. Our loss in this brilliant little cavalry fight which is represented ns one of the most ob stinate of the war, was 215 in killed, wound ed aud prisoners, a fact which pretty clearly indicates how desperate the engagement was when a single’brigade could lose this num ber. The enemy’s loss was estimated by Gfcn feherman at nearly GOO in killed, wounded and* prisoners, as the houses for miles in the vicinity of the light were filled with rebel wounded. In addition to over one hundred prisoners captured, the enemy donated us two hun dred aud fifty excellent horses, with full cavalry equipments. Pkrsitent Pkayek.— There exists in Par is, in the Rue de Renilly (by an odd coinci dence close to the Protestaut Diaconusses es tablishment,) the Convent de Picnug, where since the execution of Louis XIV, and Marie Antoinette prayer has been offered day aud night lor the release of their souls from pur gotaiy.

There are, after all, very tew places where a thoughtful man will find more matter for speculation and reflection, or a gay man more sources of profitable pleasure, or a quiet lover of ease and sociability more simple and contented enjoyment, than in this same much misunderstood and most silly misrep resented metropolis. “With all its sinful doings, I mnst say That Washington's a pleasant place to me is the mental ejaculation of many a stem or peu.sive moralizer as he turns his back on the Capital. The last fortnight has been crowded with interest—social and political; and they must have been frigid!) - indifferent, indeed, to what has been going ou before their eyes who did not feel conscious of an unusually vivid exist ence. The drawing rooms of Mrs. Lincoln on Sat urdays, the receptions at several distinguish ed inmses that follow regularly afterwards, and the dinners and soirees among the mem bers of the Corps Zfiplomutique , and the in numerable suug family parties, and pdits soupers of tile wits about town, ma!«e the close of the week a “white day’’ in metro politan life. Foremost, naturally, from her position, is the drawing room of the lady of the Execu tive Mansion. It is always more largely at - tended than it has been for many years.— Costume may, of course, be assumed by any body ; aud is carried to extremes, frequently, by the merest nobodies. But it is remarked by the oldest and most "distinguished habitues (critical as they are upon dress, look and demeanor,) that never, within their recollec tion, have there been, at any matinee. , as large assemblages of the elite of the nation, or where the most of the company were so uu exceptionably attired. Mrs. Jincoln is entitled to the credit of having brought about a great reform in re gard to the proprieties of dress, and manner, and general behavior among the masses who avail themselves of the unquestionable privi lege to visit their President and his lady.— The change has been wrought very quietly and unobtrusively. The distinguished Senators from the Em pire State, Messrs. Morgan aud Harris, have sumptuous houses in Washington, and enter tain with a flowing hospitality. The resi dence of the former is the well-known large modern house ou the corner of 1 and Fif teenth streets. It was from the front of this buildiug that Yancey made his last election eering harangue for Breckinridge in the fall of ’GO, while Cobb, Thompson, aud the rest of his chiefs sat around as his supporters.— Its handsome walls and stately rooms echo to far other utterances now! Senator Harris purchased the well-known Graham house, on the corner of H and Fifteenth streets, opposite St. Matthews Church, which ior two or three years bad been occupied by the family of General Buell. He has greatly en larged aud improved it, furnished it with el egance and taste, and made ,it one of the most comfortable homes in tlie metropolis. The dining room is a model in its way; anii the book-room adjoining the parlors, with its bow window and exquisite fittings, is as in viting an apartment as any literary louDgcr coula desire. The morning receptions of the ladies of the Cabinet on Wednesday, and of the ladies of Senators on Thursday, are attended bv the youth, beauty, aud fashion of the country, now so well represented here. Thursday night there is a hop and supper at the Na tional, marked by the good taste and liberal ity for which that house is famous. The dance is to be kept up to a late hour. Fri day night is appropriated to the receptions of Mr. Speaker Colfax, which always draws a large concourse. His mother, Mrs. Matthews, and sister, Miss Matthews, did the honors with groat cordiality and anima tion. Among the company ‘were Admiral Farragut, Gen. Banks, and quite a number of officers of the army - and navy. A 4 ‘bright particular star’ beamed on ‘the assemblage in the course of the evening, aud many in quired, “Who Is that just entering with Sen ator Sherman ?" I turned aod saw a young lady leaning on his arm, who, to a poet, might seem- a fairy vision—so bright, so graceful, and charmingly attired, ft was the niece of the Senator aud of the illustrious Gen. Sherman. I question whether that fa mous uncle would have attracted more at tention. Although, at the Saturday drawing-rooms, the President is not aece«arily expected to be present, or officially receiving, yet Mr. Lin coln ia so considerate aud kind as to leave his office for a portion of the time, and ap pear at hi# usual position in the Blue Parlor thus affording the opportunity of presenta tion to those who may not be able to avail themselves of any other occasions. Besides these public receptions, there are every day among citizens and sojourners, numbers of dinner parties, got up in Gautier s most per fect style; and, at the several hospitable houses, soirees at wliieh the company are expected only by card.
