The Savannah Daily Herald. FRIDAY. MAKCH 31, ISGS. I'KO.W OI K E VEXING EDITION OF YESTERDAY, Departure of the Flag of Trice Boat. — The inexorable laws of military necessity have required that the wives aud families of Confederate officers who have remained in the citv since the evacuation be removed with out the lines. As has already been the case on like occasions, the execution of this order, which bears heavily upon many-who are comparatively blameless, was tempered with all possible kindness and clemency. Every facility was offered for the transportation of the families and baggage of those departing to the boat, ambulances and wagons being sent to the houses, aud the officers having matters in charge being gentlemanly and considerate. The day was dark and rainy in the morn ing, and was in accord with the gloom and sorrow pervading many households; but to wards when the most were safely on hoard, and bestowed in the comfortable sa loon of the Hudson, the rain ceased, the clouds broke up, and the sun shone out •brightly, making all more cheerful, and bringing to many a weary and lonely heart the promise of an early lifting of the clouds that so long have brooded over our darkened land aud the sunlight of peace and happi ness once agair. The steamer Hudson was assigned for this trip, aud will proceed up the river as far as “Poor Robin, 1 ' a point about 105 miles above the city. The passengers will then be trans ferred to the boat sent to meet the Hudson at this place, and will be taken through to Augusta. It is expected that the trip will take about three days and a half. The boat is under command of Capt. John P. Baker, Inspector General of the District. The pas sengers number about sixty in all—ladies and children. . A New Abolition Idea in Boston.— The good people of Boston have lately been much exercised over an order adopted by the Board oi Aldermen of that city, to stop the ringing of the church bells at certain hours of the day. It seems that some progressive spirits of the city of notions, have all at once dis covered that the cheery seven o’clock bells, the welcome noon bells announcing dinner and a pause in the day’s labor, the time-hou ored nine o'clock bells notifying all of the hour “when honest people should he at home," aud marking the point between early and late in the evening,—are nuisances, severally and collectively. These iconoclas tic reformers have brought to the support of their wretched project, the ingenious plea of the depredation of real estate in the vicini ty of these public monitors. Perhaps the public-spirited gentlemen would desire to stop the striking of the steeple clocks with a like argument, or the preaching of Methodist ministers within two squares of their domi ciles. But the people had no idea of losing the ‘familiar voices of the old bells whose tones had set them free from school at twelve o’clock, and at nine o’clock had brought them to the home fireside to chat awhile be fore bed time, in their childhood, and had summoned them cheerfully to their business m after years. The growing dissatisfaction finally found expression in a protest made by the Common Couucil against the order ot the Aldermen, and the bells will undoubtedly ring on. The Breaking of the Cyy Guard House. From the facts ascertained of the breaking of this prison, east oi the Old Cemetery, no blame is attached to the officers and others in charge. Those Wright confined as a prisoner, wa6 released by Roach, he having picked the lock of Wright’s cell. Wright went through the tunnel aud jumped the Cemetery fence with Roach and his comrades. Ho wonld have immediately returned to the prison, but was prevented by Roach who threatened Wright a life with a huge bowie knife. The prison Wbadly constructed, aud by means of a few tools consisting of a bowie knife, a door hinge and a glass bottle only,these miscreants succeeded in escaping. Second PrtovosT ComtT. —Owing to the continued inclement weather, there were hut few cases disposed of this morning. Several citizens who were summoned to appear for violating General Order No. It'., failed so to do, and the cases were continued. Those who are summoned to attend the court by it 3 Orderlies, who are colored U. S. Volun teers, will not in future be excused for con tempt. A word to the.wise is sufficient.. Hutchinson's Island.— A large portion of this Island, opposite the city, is under water. The dry culture contract, by the city authori ties is still in existence. Unless this con tract is carried into effect there is danger to the health of Savannah Capt. Stearns will he doing a great sanitary work in having these lands drained. _____ There is a “magic” man who calls him self the “Great Coryphaeus of Occult Art,” opening the eyes of the Canadians. His agent announces that his “luminous lectures have, | ariphrastically speaking, placed per ishable Peripneumoniae* on the plat form of bealtli. and his unapproachable Art lias con vulsed the cheeks of the sourest vinegar faces iDto paroxysms of cacliinnation and transformed the most irascible and Acetabu liferous anti-Theophilanthropist from the Appbelion to the Perhelion of joy and en joyment. ” We are glad to hear it—but not any for us—if you please. A Thrilling Scene at a Railroad Station. Conductor Flemming’s train on Monday brought from the north a distinguished pas senger, the veritable “fat woman” who is oue ot the attractions at Barnum’s Museum |in New York. As she weighs over GOO ! pounds, she rode in the baggage car. After : the arrival of the train in this city, a plat ' form, carpeted so that she shouldn’t slip, was I placed from the side door of the car, and I her ladyship was invited to descend. But just at this critical moment when she had fairly stepped upon the platform, the fireman on the engine, not knowing the situation, began to back the engine, and —“what a fall was there !" The gallant efforts of Mr. Flem ing and liis two or three assistants were well meant, but futile. If she had been a pretty woman of the ordinary size, of course it would have been proper*for the conductor to receive her gracefully in his arms—but the thought of it in this case 1 The active ex ertions employed did not save her from fall ing, but did prevent her from rolling under the train, of which catastrophe she was at one moment in imminent danger. So the fat woman still lives.— Springfield Republican. Mexico under the Aztecs. —The great city of Mexico as it existed at the time of the Spanish conquest, contained from three to five hundred thousand inhabitants. Its ex tent was such that one thousand persons were daily engaged in watering and cleaning the streets, so that, in the language of a Spaniard, “a man could walk through them with as little danger of soiling his feet as his hands." An aqueduct nearly three miles in length, with double courses of pipes, brought supplies of fresh water from Chapurepac. The palace of the King excelled, in the judg ment of Cortes, any building in Spain in cost and magnificence. Immense buildings and grounds were devoted to collections of the native birds and beasts of the country—the zoological gardens of the city; while an equal space was appropriated to a botanical collection whose medicinal virtues were studied by the Aztecs. In the great market places were met together traders from all parts of the empire, with the products and manufactures peculiar to their countries— goldsmiths, potters, jewellers, painters, stone cutters, hunters, fishermen, fruiterers, and florists. Piles of cotton bales or of manu factured goods, furs, or leather garments, met the sight. In the booths around, the barber was plying his vocation, or the apothecary dispensing his drugs ; w r hile even the bookseller was to be lound selling blank books for the liieroglyphical picture-writing. Perfect order reigned throughout the vast assembly, numbering often forty thousand persons. Officers patrolled the squares, whose business it was to keep the peace, to colieet the duties imposed on the articles sold, and to see that no false measures or frauds of any kinds were used. A court of twelve judges sat in the square to administer justice to all offendars. • Restaurant Life in Richmond.— This is the notice that strikes the eye of a hungry man upon his entry into some of the seconcf class eating saloons of Richmond : “Gentle men will please pay before eating.” This is a wotul change irom old times, when gen tlemen whether in broadcloth or homespun, were invited into these establishments, where entertainment is offered lor man and beast, and the best that t he larder could produce was set before them without the question as to whether bis appetite was likely to get the better of his purse. ‘ ‘Pay belore you eat" argues a sad decline in the estimation of men's morals and honesty, and* is one of the striking illustrations of the changes that the war lias worked —Wichmond Examiner, Feb. 25. Peculiarities ok Uganda —The following is a pleasant specimen of a merry rollicking young African kiug, of the native pattern, pure and simple: There is little druukenness among the people. The nills are such a mass of tall reeds and grasses that cattle cannot pene trate them. Pleasant walks are cut through them, and kept from being grown over by the constant transit of slave hunting parties. Katoongee returned from one of those dur ing my stay at Uganda. He had captured 130 women, chiefly old, aud only fit for weeding in the fields. Some few, fit for wives, he set apart to be given away to men thought deserving, or whose services were to be rewarded. Each woman of this class is worth three cows. An instance occurrt and of the king giving a single slave to one of Ins officers for a service performed; the man was bold enough to ask for a second, when he was ordered to be cut to pieces, which was done with the usual red. knife. His j limbs were carried away openly, while his j trunk was wrapped up in a doth. One day ! I bad the curiosity to follow a woman who was being led by a boy to be killed. She i carried a small koe, balanced upon her head. After traveling half a mile they turned down the executioner’s garden. Close by, a lazy, yellow-beaked vulture, the cannibal of Uganda, sat perched on the stump ot' a brok en tree : others hovered high overhead snif fing- the repast below. The circumstantial evidence was enough for me, and I turned back. — Or. Grant. The Average Numreu oe Deserters— from the rebel army for the month of Febru ry was HO per day, or 3,920 for one month !
