The Savannah Daily Herald, BY 8. W. MASON AND CO. 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. LETTER FROM HILTON HEAD. 7 'he Congressional Excursion Parti/ — Their Trip to Hilton [l ad —l7 sit to Gen. Gilmore — JXparturefor the North — Various Item. (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 Fitzgerald, A. Q. M., Depet Quartermaster 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. Capt. Woolsey, of Gen. Williams’ staff. The following officers of Gen. Gillmore’s Staff: Col. C. L. Kilburn, A. C. G., Chief Com missary. Lieut. Col. Wm. Ames, Chief of Artil lery. Surgeon Meredith Clymer, Medical Di rector. Major C. W. Thomas, Chief Quartremas ter. Major Geo. E. Gouraud, Inspector General of the Department. Major B. W.

M., and Superintendent of U. 8. Military Telegraphs. Capt. Henry M. Bragg, A. D. C. Lieut. G. W. James, A. D. C. Lieut. Talcott—A. D. C. 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 in the arts, its flesh is edible and its milk mi tritious.
