NA VANN AH. FRIDAY. MARCH *4, W».
The News. —In the absence of a mail from
the North yesterday, our prospects for giv
ing neucs to our patrons to-day were exceed
ingly slim. We were fearful that we should,
t>y the force of ciicuinstances be compelled
to lay before our readers, that most intoler
able eye sore to the editorial optics of a nen-x
--paper, almost bare of news. At last, at the
very critical instant a friend personal, and
Journalistic came in to give us the first look
at the very latest consignment of papers,
which had accidentally fallen into his hands,
containing news from Rebeldon. Never was
triend, more cordially received. .We put him
iu the corner with his face to the wall while
we devoured his papers.
The various articles we extract from those
several Confederate jnraals, are of the ut
most significance to all who can interpret the
signs of the times. They do indeed ‘ hold
the mirror up to Nature”—they present to
us a perfect reflex of the state of the public
mind in Dixie on the subject of the dying re
bellion.
That it is acknowledged a failure by all,
from the commonest artisan to the Bishop ®f
the Diocese, is only too evident. All have
lost heart and hope. There never was a
more dolorous document promulgated than
that same proclamation of Bishop Elliott,an
nouncing a day of fasting and humiliation.
He acknowledges, not by implication, not
by insinuation, but in the most plain,straight
forward Saxon English, that the just God has
forsaken their cause, and that too, “on ac
count of their sins,” and that he must be
conciliated, and appeased, and induced to
take up arms in their behalf, or their cause
is lost. Did ever a more lamentable wail of
remorseful agony go up from .a despairing
In art, than th.s Archiepiscopal appeal to his
peopl to cease not to pray, for that fighting
is now hopeless.
Our reauers cannot fail to be deeply inte
rested, we think, in tho official expressions
of Confederate opinion which we have rc
printed this morning.
And, we may perilaps be excused for say
ing, that we have nearly perfected arrange
ments by means of which, with permission of
those in military authority; wc shall always
be ready to give our readers the latest and
most trustworthy news from across the lines
in advance of all competition.
A Mere Trifle. —ln that convocation of
played-out politicians at Richmond, which
the Rebels call their House of Representa
tives, the consideration of the Tax Bill came
tup on the 7thinst. The Richmond correspon
dent of tho Columbus Times says: “The bill
lias produced great diversity of opinien. The
increased burden of taxation is rendered ne
cessary by the discovery of an outstanding
indebtedness of $400,000,000, not included in
the report of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr. Nevholni was strongly disposed to re
sign. feeling that he had been deceived a.-i to
condition of the affairs of the Departnmnt
over which he had been called to preside.
Thanks to his good sense and patriotism he
did not do it, but is, still in the midst of bis
first embarrassment faithfully laboring.”
By the time they discover a few more tri
fling items of four hundred millions each
which have been overlooked, folks will be
gin to think the Confederacy owes somebody
something.
We would like to know how many mil
lion cords ol Confederate money, tightly
packed in!) bales, anil screwed down with a
cotton press, it would take to pay a S4OO, -
000,000 gold debt. Repudiation is the only
thing which can ever save our lives, for if
they really should attempt to create all this
Confederate money, there soon wouldn’t be
space for anything else on the face of the
earth; we should all be over the edge to a
certainty.
Post Hospital, Section No. a, for U. S.
C. Trqoi’S.—Tilt building situated east of
Forsyth Place, jtnd formerly known as the
Mariue Hospital, is at the present time a
home for all sick colored persons whose
friends choose to' apply for aid, Its wards
are kept in a perfectly clean condition; the
beds of the patients are comfortable ; their
medical attendants and nurses are always at
hand day and night. TII3 following are the
officers of this highly charitable institution:
E. L. Barleaux, A. A. A. Surgeon, U. S. V.;
Henry Lehman, A. A. A. Surgeon, U. S. V.;
Hospital Steward, C. 11. Baker.
The Hospital has in its wards at the pres
ent time 1:10 patients, and has accommoda
tions for 250, or 120 more.
Thanks. —We are under great obligations
to the well-wishing friends who furnished us
the rebel papers trom which we extract the
news which is printed in other columns,—
They will plcasf accept our thanks, and re
member that, a« one good turn deserves
another, so the fact that they have accom
modated us on one occasion, is proof posi
tive that they ought to do it again as soon as
they get a chance.
The Sewers. —Savannah, by a judicious
drainage, has much of its valuable sewerage
secured and saved. The sewers, under the
supervision of Civil Engineer and Surveyor
John B. Hogg, are now undergoing a thor
ough cleansing. The street commission do
not intend that any filth or nuisance shall
exist in our city.

(Special t'or.-et-poudence of the Savannah Herald )
Port Royal House, )
Hilton Head, S. C., March 22, 1805. >
TKir OF THE CONGRESSIONAL PARTY TO HILTCN
HEAD.
The Congressional Party had a very fine
nm down to Hilton Head from Savannah,
Tuesday afternoon. They came on the W r .
\V. Colt, one of the finest of the Government
transports, which has been at their service
since they arrived in the Department. Hon.
Simeon Draper came dowu on the revenuo
boat Nemaha, Capt. McGowan, having for
his guests, Hon. Morton McMichael, propri
of the Philadelphia North American , General
Simon Cameron, Ex-Secretary of War, and
Mr. Woodbridge; of Savannah. Captain

here, Lifut. Frank Geise, Assistant Provost
Marshal of the Department, Captain Chai»
G. Strahan, formerly of the 3d Rhode Island,
and now proprietor of the theatre in Charles
ton, were passengers, by permission of Mr.
Draper.
The Nemaha arrived at the Head after a
splendid run of about 4 3-4 hours, and the
Coit got iu soon after. The Congressional
party went aboard the Fulton, lying in the
stream, arranged their toilettes, took some
refreshments, and then came ashore to at
tend a
reception by gen. gillmore.
This took place at the General’s quarters, on
the beach. They were tastefully and patriot
ically decorated. In front, the Post Band,
Prof. Ingalls, discoursed the splendid music
characteristic of it.
The following distinguished officers were
present:
Brig. Gen. 8. Williams, Inspector General
of the Armies of the U. 8.
Brig. Gen. E. E. Potter, Commanding Dis
trict of Beaufort.
Brig. Gen. M. b Littlefield, Commanding
Hilton Head District.

Lieut. I. Arnoin, Ordnance Officer.
Surgeon Clymer was accompanied by his
wife and by bis sister, Mrs. Peters.
Major Thomas and Capt. Smith were also
accompanied by their ladies.
Capt. Bragg was accompanied by his fa
ther, mother and brother, who are on a visit
here.
The evening was very pleasantly spent, in
conversation, in daueing, and in partaking
of a collation. The Congressmen and their
ladies treated Gen. Gillmore with great res
pect, for his reputation with them is of the
best, aud has lost nothing by their inspection
of Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie, and Fort Pu
laski, the objects of his principal operations.
broke up at about half-past
one (vcloek, and at its conclusion the Con
gressional party returned to the Fulton, where
they passed a very comfortable night.
DEI’AHTUItE NORTH.
At about eleven o’clock this morning the
Fulton, with her distinguished passengers,
got under way and steamed out of the har
bor, bound, as the credulous say, to Havana,
but, according to my impression, for Fortress
Monroe via Wilmington, if the party feel
like it.
MILITARY CHANGES.
Brig. Qen. Israel Yodges, who had a com
mand in this Department under Gen. Gill
more, during his previous administration, is
coming down here and will have command
of the District of Florida.
Brig. Gen, E. P. Scammon, now in com
mand, is going North, on account of ill
health.
Col. Gurney, of the 127th N. Y., has ar
rived here, as previously announced in the
Savannah Daily Herald, having recovered
from the wounds received at Devcaux Neck,
aud will assuma command of the city of
Charleston. Col. Stewart L. Woodford, of
the lOUd U. S. C. TANARUS., will return to Hilton
Head and resume his position as Chief of
Staff to Gen. Gillmore.
Capt. Tbo®, J, Bobinsop, of the 54th N-
Y. Y. V., of Gen. Scammon’s Staff, has been
relieved from duty in the Distriot of Florida.
He was formerly A. A: A. G. of the Depart
ment, and has obtained gradual promotion
by his meritorious conduct.
PERSONAL.
Lient. B. L. Newman, formerly Assistant
Provost Marshal General of the Department,
wh<T resigned ftl) d was honorably discharged
lor disability, was a passenger here by the
Baltic.
Mr, Ralph lrcmbley, Purveyor to govern
ment transports, is here on a brief visit, as
popular as ever.
I have beep indebted to Jesse Merrill,
Chief Signal Officer, with whom I have been
on several campaigns, for numerous courto
sies. Communication with Gen. Shsrman,
when he arrived on the Ocecchee, was first
established through Capt. Merrill's corps,
which is, and has always been most efficient.
AMUSEMENT.
Savannah Theatre.— The “New Dramatic
Company” continues to draw good Abuses.—
The audience last night was appreciative
and in good humor, and the good old “legit
imate” play of “Married Life” evidently gave
entire satisfaction. Mr. Davenport was in a
happy vein, as also was Mr. Herndon, and
their presence in the scene was signalized by
continued roars of laughter.
The ladies deserve special notice for the
painstaking and pleasing manner in which
they filled their roles. Misses St. Leon and
Lafond have attained an enviable place in the
public estimation. To-night we are to have
the “Lady of Lyons" and the “Spectre Bride
groom.” Mr. Davenport’s “Claude” is spo
ken of as being par excellence. Let every
one go who desires a rich dramatic treat.
On Monday evening Messrs Scott and Re
make their reappearance on the boards of
the Savannah Theatre, in connection with
the present company, giving some of their
popular and varied performances. *
The Foundling Case.— Yesterday fore
noon, Judge Walton, of the Second Provost
Court, made a decision concerning a found
ling. From the testimony it appears that
the child, which is a female now aged five
years, was found several years ago by Mr.
Clark, who resides on the corner of Abercorn
and Taylor streets. The little one was almost
without clothing, and had bean born prob
ably twenty-four hours. Upon its slight
clothing was found the following memoranda:
Sr. Luke 21st Chapter , 17th Verse “And
ye shall ho hated of all men for my name’s
sakc. •*
18(A Verso: —But there shall not an hair of
your head perish.”
Judge Parsons passed the following:
Xkoision ordered —Mrs. Sarah B. Clark can
retain the child Orianna for five years, during
which time sho (Mrs. C.) shall clothe, feed,
and educate it, free from all expense to the
said child ; at the expiration of that time, if
the child desires to go and live with Mrs.
Jane Greeno, she shall be permitted to do so.
Should the said child choose to live with
Mrs. Clark after that, she shall be permitted
to do so, provided Mrs. Clark has her in
structed iu a trade, At the age of eighteen
the said child shall have tho free disposition
of herself. Mrs. Clark will not be permitted
to take the child beyond the L T nion lines.
The child is one of interest; its mother,
beyond a doubt, is a white woman and its
father a negro.
Mrs. Clark has no children, and with her
the foundling has a home . where it will be
educated and cared for. *
Li.uk. —At the Isle of Hope, in this county,
several kilns for burning oyster shells and
reducing them to lime, are in. operation, and
Capt. Starr has this enterprise under his con
trol. Tho material when calcined is intend
ed for the use- of the Street Commissioner. ,
Foul Sinks.—A large number of long
neglected vaults are soon to be thoroughly
cleansed. Many colored persons who are at
the present time out of employment, may, on
application to Capt Albert Steams, on South
Broad street, near Barnard, find employ
ment. Bring your spades, shovels and hots.
Men and material are wanted. ‘
Cheap Advertising.— I The Macon Tele
graph says : “Two or three of our contem
poraries are informed that if they wish us to
advertise their journals, our rates are four
dollare a square in advance.” *
Telegraphic Communication with Hil
ton Head Reopened —We are glad to be
able to announce that tho break in the Sub
marine Cable at Tybee Island, has, by the
strenuous exertions of Mr. Havens and his
assistants, been repaired, aud the line is
once more in good working order.
Hides.— ln the future, to prevent cow
stealing, the hides of sll animals slaughtered
in or near the city should be produced to the
Clerk of the market for his inspection.—
There is an ordinance of the city governing
this matter, and we believe it is the intention
of Judges Parsons and Walton to have it
enforced.
Nkoro Catcuino.— lt will be observed
from the subjoined Items that the negroes
still retain some of their ancient prejudices
against being chased and torn by dogs, and
also to being “corrected" by their kind and
gentle masters.
From a business letter we learn, says the
Columbus Sun, of the 7th, that a negro man
the property of R. J. Wood, who resides near
Cotton Hill, was hung at Fort Gaines on Fri
day, the 24th ult., for an assault with intent
to kill his master aud Mr. Seaby. Mr Sea
by, op Saturday, the Igtli «H., was after a
runaway, son of an o}d negro. The boy
to escape the pursuing dogs, thought lie
would go borne, but as-he approached the
house, they caught him. Mr. Seaby dis
mouutod trom his horse aud commenced
fighting the dogs off, when the boy’s father,
who was cutting wood pear by, Vajj up and
gave Mr Seaby a blow on the back of the
head, which broke the outer table of the
skull. Parson Wood then interfered, the
negro turned on him and broke the collar
boue. Mrs. Wood approached with a drawn
pistol, when the negro mounted Seaby’s
horse and fled. He was caught on the fol
lowing Monday above'Cuthbert. He fought
tld the last, and was badlv tom by the dogs
Mr. Seuby is improving, and bids fair to
get well.
A negro man was put in jail on Sunday, the
*oth ult., tor fighting Mr. Cohen to whom lie
Was hired, and who was endeavoring to cor
rect pun. - 0
A Letter From Gen’l. Sheri an to a
Southern Lady. —The following letter of
ven' great interest has just Been published,
although it is almost a year old:
Headers Mil. Div. of tiie Mississippi, "I
In the Field, near Marietta, Ga, >
June 30, 18(54. )
Mrs. Anna Gilman Bowen , Baltimore, Aid :
I)ea* Madam : —Your welcome letter- of
June 18th came to me here amid the sound
of battle, anj, as you say, littie did I dream,
when I knew you playing as a school girl < n
Sullivan's Island beach, that I should control
a vast army, pointing, like the swarm of
Alaric, toward the plains of the South.- Why,
oh, why is this ? If I know my own heart,
it beats as warmly as ever towards those
kind and generous families that greeted us
with such warm hospitality in days long past
hut still present in memory, and to-day, were
Frank and Mrs. Porch, aud Eliza Gilman,
and Mary Lamb, and Margaret Blake, the
Barksdales, the Quasbis, the Prydes, indeed,
aud all of onr cherished circle. Could their
children, or even their children’s
children, come to me as of old,
the stern feelings of duty and conviction
would melt as snow before the genial sun,
and I believe I would strip my own children
that they might be sheltered ; and yet they
call me barbarian, vandal, and monster, and
all the epithets that language can invent that
are significent of malignity and hate. All I
pretend to say, on earth as in heaven, man
must submit to some arbiter. He must not
throw off his allegiance to his Government or
his God without good reason and cause. The
South had no cruise—not even a pretext—
Indeed, by her unjustifiable course, she has
thrown away the proud history of the past,
aud laid open her fair country to the tread of
devastating war. She bantered and bullied
us to tlie conflict. Had we declined battle,
America uvould have sunk back, coward and
craven, meriting the contempt of all man
kind. Asa nation, we were forced to accept
battle, and that once begun, it has gone on
till the war has assumed proportions at
which even we, ill the hurly-burly, stand
aghast. I would not subjugate the
South in the sense so offensively as
sumed, but I would make every citi
zen of the land obey the common law, sub
mit to the same that we do—no worse, no
better—our equals, not our superiors. I
know, as you know, that there were young
men in our day, now no longer young, but
who control their fellows, who assumed for
the gentlemen of the South a supariority of
courage and manhood, aud boastingly defied
us of Northern birth to arms. God knows
how reluctantly we accepted the issue, but
once joined,like as in other ages.theNortbern
race, though slow to aDger, once aroused,are
more terrible than the more inflammable of
the South. Even yet my heart bleeds when
I see the carnage of battle, the desolation of
homes, the bitter anguish of families; but
the very moment the men es the South say,
that instead of appealing to war they should
have appealed to reason, to our Congress, to
our courts, to religion, and to the experience
of history, Then will I say peace—peace;
go back to your point of error, and resume
your places as American citizens, with all
their proud heritages. Whether' I shall
live to see this period is problematical, but
you may, and may tell your mother and sis
ters that I never forgot one kind look or
greeting, or ever wished to efface its remem
brance ; but in putting on the armor of war
I did it tha’ our common country should not
perish in infamy and dishonor. I am married
andbave a wife and sixcbildren living in Lan
caster, Ohio. My course has been an event
ful one, but I hope when the clouds ot anger
and passion are dispersed and truth emerges
bright and clear, you and all who knew me
in early years will not blush that we were
once dear friends. Tell Eliza for me that I
hope she may live to realize that the doc-’
trine of “secession” is as monstrous ia our
civil code as disobedience was in the Divine
law. And should the fortunes of war ever
bring you or your sister or any of our old
clique under the shelter of my authority, I
do not believe they will have cause to regret
it. Give ray love to your children, and the
assurance of my respects to your honorable
husband. Truly,
W. T. Sherman. .
The subjoined is a report of the doing3 of
the Georgia State Legislature on the last day
of which we have a positive account :
Georgia Legislature (Rebel), March B.
In the Senate was taken up the special order
of the day, resolutions adverse to the con
script law—
Mr. Ramsay thought the spirit of volun
teering was dead and conscription must go
on; it was only the conscript law which
kept up their armies.
Mr. Grice opposed the resolutions.
Mr. Walker was opposed to conscription,
and recommended a return to volunteering.
Mr. Sprayberry was in favor of the resolu
tions, but finally offered a series of his own
resolutions as a substitute.
Mr. Pottle was in favor of the resolutions,
but offered an amendment providing that the
repeal of the conscription should not release
any men who are now in the army.
Pending the consideration of which the
Senate adjourned.
House of Representatives, March B.
Senate bills were taken up for third reading-
A bill to authorize the impressment of pro
lusions for the relief of the families of sol
dirrs was referred to a coihmittec of five.
Bill compelling hotel keepers to become
responsible for baggage of travellers, and
making it penal to refuse. Passed.
The bill authorizing Judges of the Supe
rior Court of the State to convene special
terms for the trial of criminal cases was
passed, but a bill to authorise the same
Judges to hold their courts at places other
than the county sites was lost.
Bill tor relief Os persons distilling liquors
upcler misapprehension oi tiie law; passed.
In the afternoon session of the Senate the
consideration of the conscript resolution
gave rise to a long debate, in which Gen.
Wnglit, Col. Gaulden and others, took part
Ihe resolutions were finally referred to a
committee of five.
In the afternoon session of the House
several Senate bills of little general impor
tance were concurred in, .
The Worcester Spy, speaking of Gov.
Aunrew s proposition to reduce the disparity'
between the sexes in Massachusetts by pro
viding means for the emigration of 40,000
females to the Pacific coast, says that after
making the proper deduction for those who
come into the State to work temporarily in
factories Ac., there is no excess of WQIHW
in the State.
A T oyxG Tmly In Brooklyn is making a
large number of young men unhappy. She
is employed by the Provost Marshal to draw
the names from the draft wheel.
Dr. McGowan, the celebrated Eastern
traveler, has written a letter to the Secretary
of the American Geographical Society rec
ommending the introduction of the Mongo
lian camel into the United States, as bemJ
better able to endure our cold climate than
the Arabian. He says these camels will be
very useful iu conjunction wnn tlie
Pacific Railroad, as this kind can carry ore- 1
burdens. They would be employed to de
liver produce at the statiocs along the wav
T.ie Mongolian camel has an economic value
likewise; its hide, hair and hoofs being used
