The Savannah Daily Herald. BY S. W. MASON ANI> CO. SAVANNAH. FRIDAY, MARCH 31, I*s. Whiskey on the Sly.—lt cannot l>e de nied that thera have been lately seen in our streets, a number of soldiers, and sailors and citizens who were unquestionably the worse for liquor. Many, very many old citizens have been disposed to lay the bianie exclu sively on our army, and those who tollow the army to cater, in various ways, to the needs and wants of the soldier bora It people who charge the furnishing ot whiskey ; upon the soldiers and those connected with them, had a correct idea of the number of patToh pickets uud sentinKa whose special j business It is tr watch all possible avenues foi thi Introduction of contraband goods, ans. set that no fortudden articles come into markc they would at once perceive the j fol'y of their wck’eH accusation#. We can them, that the wretched whiskey | w.-.k'ii has made drunken the reeling soldiers j we sometimes see in the streets, Is not j smuggled through the lines —is not introduced by the laxity of the watch, or the corruption of the Witchers; but this miser able liquid chain-lightning—this deadly dis tilatkm which will kill in forty minutes at fifty yards, is all made in the city of Savan nah, and that too, by people who, whether worthy or unworthy, in themselves, —wheth- er properly or improperly claiming a resi dence here, arc unmistakably the very per sons who have been engaged in making whiskey in private stills, and afterward in supplying it to the soldiers, who could not obtain it elsewhere. The persons engaged in this nefarious busi ness, have been principally foreigners, who, by virtue of the naturalization laws, have ob tained a residence in this city. There has been a number of these private stills iu the city, some of which have been broken up by the Police, and others have been so frightened by the operations of the officers, as to desist for the present, from their dirty business. The stills are generally located in a cellar, the doors to which arc carefully locked and all the cracks and crevices thereof sedulously stopped with cotton, so that no tell-tale ray oflight may gleam upon the outer world from the mysterious apartment within. Here, at midnight, does the presiding chemist of the place, (generally a malicious, malignant, filthy, old Celtic virago) by the aid of one wooden tub, a few feet of lead pipe, and n copper or tin boiler, about the size of a big tea-kettle, succeed in concocting from one, to six gallons per day of the vilest whiskey that ever made a man regret one day that lie had made a cheap fool of himself the day before. The material used as the basis of the hero —the foundation of the “hell-broth,” was rice, wheat, corn, spoiled and sour corn meal, or in fact almost anything susceptible of fermentation, and after distillation. Au apparatus for this sort of business was captured a day or two since by Chief of Po lice Morehouse and his assistants. The distiller-in-chief at this place is an old, ill favored, sharp-tongued Irishwoman, who, for years, ever since the war Ims made the sale .of whiskey contraband, has been engaged in mahufacturing the article in her own cellar, Her business was known to the confederate soldiers, and a detachment of men of Capt. Brown's Georgia militia once attempted to capture her still and herself. But the Hi bernian lady was not to be frightened by Capt. Brown or any or all of his militia. Armed with a club she defied them to come on, and on their failing to accept the invita tion she sallied out, and after knocking down half a score or so of the valiant Browniles, she succeeded in putting the rest to flight, and in saving her whiskey weaving machine. However, when the police of Chief More house made a charge on her house she quiet ly succumbed, and the party was lodged in jail, while her still was taken to the police headquarters, and her place closed up. She lias sold from 4 to 8 gallons of vile whiskey per day, which she has had no difficulty in selling at six dollars a quait, or at fifty cents a drink. Thus her little whiskey-making' business has been worth about oue hundred dollars a. day. Is o wouder she made a good fight to prevent its been broken up. There are several other similar establish ments in the city, which will soon receive the attentfon of the proper authorities. • PASBENCEIIB BY THE FI,AO OVj TRUCK BOAT Hudson.— The following is a list of persons transferred to within the Confederate lines per flag of truce boat Hudson, vesterday : Mrs. T.

Tub Wksley Chapel.— Arrangements had been made by virtue of which it was hoped th s place of worship would he opened for Divine service next Sunday, but there has been some misunderstanding about the occu pation of the church, and it will not be open ed as contemplated. The Weather. —We do not profess topub t fish a themomelrical journal, but when the weather makes so sudden a change, and one so much for the better, wc think it deserves a word of praise. After several days of clouds overhead, of mud underfoot, and of rain mid wav, we have now, at laet beautifully clear skies, a magnificent sun for home-made and, at night, some of the brightest and most bril liantly splendid starrs that were ever grown in any country. We had been watching one particular little star—before the overshadow ing of the heavens by thejrain clouds —it was then merely a star—a bright, pretty, shining, sparkling, splendid star, but then, only a star. Then the clouds covered up the skies for three days—when they cleared away—we looked for our star, and to our utter astonish ment, such is the salubrity of our climate, and the fertility of our celestial soil, that our modest little star,had already sprouted Into a flaring, staring, planet. We hardly recog nized our early stellar sweetheart, and we sadly anticipate thatthis little twinkler ot one weeks ago memory, will soon develope into a full-sized.comet, and then, leave our circle of friends forever. Well—our best wishes go with it, and we will stilt thank God for the kinder weather, and for the many stars of our youthful love who never try to grow beyond our recogui tion, or to cut our earthly acquaintance. . _ Mr. Sweatnam’s New Theatre at St. Andrews’ llall.— Mr. Sweatnam 9 new thea tre, the •‘Savannah Varieties,” % what is now known as St. Andrew’s Hall, is rapidly approaching a state of completion. Anew stage has beenjerected, the proscenium hav ing a width of twenty-eight feet, and the depth of stage being about thirty feet. New and beautiful sceneiy is being put in, and the machinery, properties, and all the various appurtenances requisite for theatrical per formances have been furnished in tire most liberal and judicious manner. Mr. Sweat naui acts upon the principle of sparing no pains nor expense in the fitting up of his lit tle theatre, believing that the public will ap preciate an earnest and painstaking attempt to merit its favor, and will remunerate him according to his deserts. The valuable ser vices of the well-known scenic artist, Mr. Sandrue, have been secured for the prepara tion of the scenery, and Mr. Chas. Blauche the skilful stage-carpenter is also engaged by Mr. Sweatnam. The following favorite artists compose the company: Mr. W. P. Sweatnam, Miss Lotty Howland, La Belle Louise, J. C. Quinan, M. J. Howard, W. Gorden, Sig. Mullar, W. Mahone, Master George, Master Willie, N. Preberthyser, M. L. Adams, J. D. Bovd; F. Eugenie; Jag. B. Coheu, Agent and Treasury. • The entertainments will consist of light comedy, farces, burlesques, ethiopian miu strelsy, singing and dancing, with various divertisements arranged in attractive style. . Savannah Theatre.— The repetition of the erer-beautiful play of Camille was attended by a good house last evening. Those who were not present at the previous perform ance of this piece must have been surprised and delighted with the excellent rendition •given last evening. After their achieve ments in Camille no one need apologize for the Theatre Company. The pro duction or this play has revealed to the pub lic talents of the highest order among the ar tists ay whom Mr. Davenport is surrounded. Miss Lafomlas “Camille” is very charming and wins the smiles or starts the tears of the audience at her will. Mrs. Berrell as “Mad ame Prudence” is very good indeed, and has already become a favorite, whose appearance is always welcomed. Miss Fanny Prestige as “Nanine,” makes a great hit, with her piquant and lively acting. Indeeed the whole company do themselves and the manager great credit in Camille, and it is to be hoped that it will be often repeated. The hill last evening was rendered doubly attractive by the songs of Messrs. Scott and Rynian and their funny act of “Shaksperian ‘Beading.” Ao one should fail to visit the Theatre while this happy combination of the sterling drama and the mirth-provoking burlesque is pre sent. Maj. Gen. Francis C. Barlow.— Tlic Lon don Illustrated News gives the following notice ot Gen. Barlow, who is now on leave of absence, for his health, in Europe : “There is now another American lftm just now in London, who is being lionized to the last hair of his mane // est <te Marly ! as they j used to say in the days of the Grand Mon arque; and a grand field-dav was held in his especial honor at Aldershot'last week This lion, however, roars from the noithem side of the hedge.

Fourth Paper. ADMINISTRATION OF BANKS CONCLUDED. We close our extracts with the following excellent remarks of the Administration of Bankß. The following remarks on the pro per administration of banks are invaluable. On the whole Mr. McCulloch has furnished a body of information in relation to banking and currency that combines soundness of principle with practical knowledge that fully qualifies him for the important post to which he has been appointed. EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS OF INSTRUCTION TO THE NATIONAL BANKS. Bear constantly in mind, although the loyal States appear superficially to be in a pros perous condition, that such is not the fact. That while the government is engaged iu the suppression of a rebellion of unexampled fierceness and magnitude, and is constantly draining the country of its laboring and pro ducing population and diverting its mechani cal industry from works of permanent value to the construction of implements of warfare, while cities are crowded and the country is to the same extent depleted, and waste and ex travagance prevail as they never before pre vailed in the United States, the nation, what ever may be the external indications, is not prospering. The war in which we are in volved is a stern necessity, and must be prose cuted for the preservation of the government, no matter what may be its cost; but the fcouti try will unquestionably be the poorer every day it is continued. The seeming prosperity of the loyal States is owing mainly to the large expenditures of the government and the redundsut currency which these expendi tures seem to render necessary. Keep these facts constantly in mind, and manage the affairs of your respective banks with a perfect consciousness that the apparent prosperity of the country will be proved to be unreal" when the war is closed, if not be fore ; and be prepared, by careful manage ment of the trust committed to you, to help save the nation from a financial collapse, in stead of lending your influence to make it more certain and more severe. The busiucss of the banks should be care fully and promptly conducted, The books, at the close of each day, should exhibit the amount of cash on hand, and the exact con dition of the bank. In large banks all the books should be balanced daily; in small banks, weekly or semi-monthly; and as often as every quarter a careful examination of their affairs should be made by commit tees of the directors appointed for this pur pose, and a report of the result of these ex aminations entered upon the minutes. The officers of the bank, other than the president, should be appointed to hold their offices dur ing the pleasure of the board, anti bonds should be executed accordingly. This will obviate the necessity of requiring annual bonds from these officers, and will prevent the occurrence of a time when they will not be under bond. Presidents being annually elected or appointed, will of course be requir ed to give annual bonds; and whenever an officer is appointed or re- appointed a bond should be required of him. Let no loans be made that are not secured beyond a reasonable contingency. Do noth ing to foster and encourage speculation.— Give facilities only to legitihmte and pru dent transactions. Make your discounts on as short time as the business of your cus tomers will permit, and insist upon the pay ment of all paper at maturity, no matter whether you need the money or not. Never renew a note or bill merely because you may not know where to place the money with equal advantage if the paper is paid. In no way can you properly control your discount line, or make it all tim’es reliable. Distribute your loans rather than concen trate tnern in a few hands. Large loans to a single individual or firm, although some times proper aud necessary, are generally injudicious, and frequently unsafe. Large borrowers are apt to control the bank ; and when this is the relation between a bank and its customers is not difficult to decide which in the end will suffer. Every dollar that a bank loans above its capital and surplus it owes for, and its managers are therefore un der the strongest obligations to its creditors, as well as to its stockholders, to keep its dis counts constantly under its control. Treat your customers liberally, bearing in mind the fact that the hank prospers as its customers prosper, but never permit them to dictate your policy. If you doubt the propriety of discounting an offeriug, give the bank the benefit of the doubt and decline it: never make a discount if you doubt the propriety of doing it. If you have reason to distrust the integrity of a customer close his accouut. Never deal with a rascal under the impression that you can prevent him from cheating you. The risk iu such cases is greater than the profits. CONVERTING INTO COIN. From the soundness of the doctrine incul cated below there can be no deposit. PAYER money. Now, what is needed in a paper circulat ing medium is that it should be convertible into coin; that it should be sufficient in amount to answer the purposes of legitimate business; that it should not, on the one hand, by being overissued, eucourage ex travagance and speculation, and give an ar tificial and unreliable value to property ;-nor, on the other hand, by being reduced below the proper standard, interrupt business aud unsettle value. It should be supplied to just the extent of the demands of a healthy trade. It should be increased as the regular business of the country may require its in crease, and be diminished as the proper de mand for it is diminished. bank issues. It is not pretended that banks of have furnished this kind of circulation. Bank notes, with few exceptions, have been con vertible into coin when there was no demand for coin, and inconvertible when there was They have, too generally, been issued for the exclusive benefit of the bankers, and not for the convenience of the public, and they have encouraged speculation, when their true mis s.on was to facilitate trade. It has been the bane of a bank note circulation that it has been expanded by the avarice of the bankets and contracted by the distrust that overissues have created. It has become au axiom in that branch of Political Economy connected with currency that bank notes should be at all times con verted into coin. The departure from this principle in the greatest degree is owing to the exigencies of war, and to a less extent to private speculation. The New Position.— The forces of the Union have now ail arrived in position on the great strategic tneatre ot the war. The primary combinations are completed, and, in one quarter of the field, have already given way to (he evolutions of battle, ft has been clearly demonstrated that the threatened movement from Wilmington has been made secondary to the movement from Newbern ; and that the co-operative column of Schofield, which once threatened to ad vance ngaiust Raleigh and Goldsboro’, on the line of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, has adopted, instead, the line of the Atlantic and North Carolina Road. For this latter purpose, the Twenty-third corps was withdrawn from Wilmington, and sent around to be supports to Newbern. - Palmer’s permanent garrison at that point, the pro visional division sent from Tennessee, and the Twenty-third corps, were formed into a strong Army, under direct command of Cox, but superintended by Schofield himself. In three divisions this column marched upon Kinston, and, at the latter point, on the Bth, it encountered Bragg's whole army. It met a severe check, losing 1,500 men and three guns. Elated with his success, and desirous to complete his victory before the arrival of reinforcements, Bragg" attacked Schofield with great fury iu his new line three uiile9 back, but was severely beaten away, alter suffering as great loss as he had inflicted two days before upon us. The failure of this ex periment, and the arrival of Couch’s division of the Tweuty-third corps'from Wilmington, forced Bragg to retire across the Neuse to Kinston, burning the bridge behind him! Upon that point Schofield quickly advanced, and, on the 14th, Bragg retreated up the railroad to Goldsboro’, leaving our troops in possession of the handsomely-disputed town. The important movements thus briefly summarized disclose the fact that the enemy lia3 decided to contest the occupation of Raleigh and Goldsboro’; and that it was for this purpose lib made his first resistance at the outpost of Kinston. They also serve to show, that the enemy has abandoned the line of the Northeast Cape Fear River, and has taken up the line of the Neuse, on which latter the three cities just named lie. That abandonment, of course,made it certain that Sherman's overland march from Cheraw to Fayetteville would not be contested in front; and that the familiar demonstrations on his left flank and rear were all that he had to guard against. It is probable, therefore, that nothing more than a-picket force of the ene my is now to be found between Fayetteville and Wilmington, or" even on the Weldon Railroad farther south of Goldsboro’ than Warsaw and Kenansville. The chances are that the whole railroad has been abandoned, except by videttes, as far north as Goldsboro’ itself. This change of position,on the enemy’s part,from Wilmington to Goldsboro’ has given him, it is true, greater facilities for checking our advance from Newbern. But it was di rectly compelled by our own prior move be tween these two points. And even if it had not been forced by Schofield’s easterly ad vance, it would soon have ensued from Sherman’s flanking demonstration, which threatened to cut oft' the line of Bragg’s northerly retreat, and force him to surrender. Our own advance from Newbern rather than Wilmington, was dictated, probably, by sev eral reasons—partly by its greater proximity to Fortress Monroe, and its greater facility of communication both by land and water with the North; partly, perhaps, from the excellent navigable condition of the Neuse as far up as Newbern; but certain from the fact that our base at Newbern is much nearer Goldsboro’than the base at Wilmington, the distance being 54 miles iu the former case, and 80 in the latter. Independent, however, of considerations of propriety or impropriety, General Sherman's orders, given weeks ago, for the advance from Newberu were imperative, We may safely rely, therefore, on the fact, that he has blocked out the plan in the right way, and that the Newbern column will reach Golds boro’ at the time and in the manner desig nated. Terry's eolumn at Wilmington (the same troops that took Fort Fisher) will go up the Weldon Rail oad in due time; but there is much work to be done first on the wharf’s and warehouses in Wilmington, and much more in repairing the railroad. Meanwhile the chief actor in the opening Carolina drama, to prepare tor whose appear ance these preliminary scenes were enacted, has made his debut on the grand stage. Re ported by the enemy as “stuck in the mud in one of the Southern States,” Sherman has been leisurely marching his Army through the enemy's country, feeding it as Confed erate soldiers vainly hope to feed. A grand concentration under Johnston at Charlotte had made due preparations to “bag” him.— But Sherman, true to his old policy, turned to the East, and moved rapidly past the flank of his adversary, who found himself once more outgenei ailed in having collected a force where it was not needed. Johnston, giving up his plan of destroying Sherman, now bent his attention to saving Bragg. He found himself forced to follow Sherman in escort; and, in spite of the few rude dashes of Hamptßn's cavalry, it must be owned that the escort has kept "at a respectful distance. Johnston, however, has really done all that he was capable of doing with his inferior force against so able au adversary ; and, un like some other Confederate Generals, he may congratulate himself that, if he has done no harm to Sherman, he has done little to himself. But, is Sherman’s Army, after its march of 500 miles, in # condition to enter bn the Waterloo campaign of the Rebellion ? It is better fitted for that purpose than the veter an Army ot Lee itself. Sherman briefy re ports :—“We are all welland the last utterances of the enemy on the subject were : “The troops were under strict discipline and orders, in the best condition, well-clothed, and well shod.” They march as if they had just st ilted on their expedition,instead of hav ing been out for weeks. “The general him self appeared in good spirits and confident of success.” Wherever the Army has marched its drums have beat the music of victory.— Its leader now bursts into the great field of conflict to direct the Grand Campaign of North Carolina. Schofield’s eolumn is al ready in circuitous eommmuuication with Sueruian, and before a week will be in di rect support. These two forces—numbering more than 80,000 men—will be sufficient, di rected by the genius and skill of Sherman, to give the Campaign a happy termination.— Army and Navy Journal.

Nasby.” How to Make a Flag. — Rev. Dr. TyDg, in a recent addrees, gave the foliowing in cident : “Last July, amid all the horrors of the Lib by prison, our soldiers there confined in filth, negligence and beggary, wretched, poor aud almost forgotten, determined on a celebration of their country’s independence among themselves. (Applause.) But they looked around upon the necessities of their condition,’they found themselves without a flag; and a celebration of their country’s independence without a flag seemed impos sible. After a while one man looked upon himself and said, ‘I have a red shirt;’ and another man, ‘Why, I have a blue blouse ;’ auother man, ‘I have a white muslin shirt;’ and no sooner was it said than they stripped themselves and gave their red white aud blue shirts to be torn up into stripes and pinned together to extemporize their coun try’s flag.” , Different Kinds of Army News. —The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer with Grant's army writes thus : “We have three species of news in the army. The best, most satisfactory, and which contains something tangible, is news based on orders issued from ’ headquarters, regarding preparation for the movements, or the official announcement of victories else where, &c., communicated to the troops through their immediate commanders. Next in order comes chin news, which consists in somebody hearing something from some body else, which somebody told he got from somebody who heard it from some reliable source, that -something .bad taken place somewhere, or something that would un doubtedly occur before long. The next and last on the list, is cook-house ueu-s, which con tains exagerations, impossibilities, aud of tentimes such evident impossibilities that no one, save an ebony cook, would be thought capable of disseminating it through the camps.” • HOTEL ARRIVALS.
