The Savannah Daily Herald. TUESDAY. APRIL »». 1885. FROM OUR EVENINtt EDITION OF YESTERDAY. "jm -jl m THE ASSASSINATIONS. Our latest advices from Hilton Head announce that several of the large number of conspirators arrested for being connected with the assassination plot, have turned State's evidence, and have deve loped the details of the scheme. Ahbivai. of Gen. Gillmore and Staff.- The steamer W. W. Coit* Capt. Parker, ar rived on Sunday afternoon from Hilton Head, having on board the following distinguished passengers: Major-General Q. A. Gillmore, Commanding Department of the South; Col. C. L. Kilburn, Chief Commissary; Capt. H. M. Bragg, A.D.C.; Lieut-Col. M.Clymer, Medical Director; Lieut. Taicot, A. D. C.; Lieut. G. W. James, A. D. C.; Major Jno. C. Gray, Judge Advocate; Major G. E. Gour aud, Inspector-General; Capt. J. M. Gil more, Superintendent of Telegraphs; Major W. L. M. Burger, A. A. G.; Mrs. Bragg, Mrs. Corner, Mr. Bragg. General Gillmore and Staff were accompanied by the Post Rand of Hilton Head, which played several beautiful pieces of music as the steamer neared the wharf. Arrival of the Steamship Diamond with Brio. Gen. Littlefield and Staff. —The fine steamship Diamond, Capt. Hardy, from Hilton Head, arrived with the invited guests to the grand celebration of Saturday after noon, in this city, at half-past four o'clock, who proceeded immediately iu vehicles to Johnson Square. The following is the list of the Diamond’s passengers: Brig Gen M S Littlefield, commanding the Dep’t at Hilton Head; Lieut Col C A Rice, Chief of Staff; Lieut S S Gregory, A A Q M; Col Stewart L Woodford, Chief of Staff; Gen Gilmore’s Staff, Mr Topham and lady, Capt Geo N Morris, U S N, U S steamer Chenango; Assistant Surgeon Geo C Reyn olds, U S steamer Chenango ; A B Bache, Paymaster, Chenango. Immediately after the Diamond had landed her passengers, she returned to Hiltou Head. Death of Mr. James E. Hogg.—' The nu merous friends of this gentleman will regret to learn of his death, in Barnwell District, South Carolina. He was in the 67th year of his age. For the past thirty-three years oi bis life, he resided in Savannah. He was for many years Deacon of the Savannah Baptist Cbureb, and Superintendent of its Sabbath School. Mr. Hogg was fondly attached to the Af rican churches of Savannah, and their pros perity was his anxious care. The congrega tions loved him. The deceased leaves one son, two daugh ters and sixteen grandchildren,and numerous other relatives to mourn his loss. Mr. Hogg died of cancer, which first ap peared on the lower lip. It was operated on successfully, as was supposed, but soon after it appeared on his neck, and spread so rapid ly as to cause his death in a few months. The llkkald in Dixie.—Now that the in terruption of communication with Richmond cuts off the papers in the interior from sources of information relating to the outside world, the Confederate press make as liberal extracts from the Savannah Hhkai.i, as they used to do from the New York Herald. A _ copy of an Augusta paper of the 18th, re ceived last Thursday by Hag of truce, con tains several columns copied from the Her ald, including local, Northern, European, Mexican, Hilton Head, Charleston and other news, none of which seemed to be of a very consoling character to the editors. The Con federate papers appear to have discovered, however, that the Herald is a very reliable journal, and we feel complimented at their liberal use ot matter from our columns and gratified at the honorable credit they give us. The little matter of heading one of the articles “More of So-and-So's Lies” we overlook, appreciating the close circum stances which may have created the notice. We hope ere long, when peace shall again reign throughout the land, to exchange regu larly with the Augusta Constitutionalist and Chronicle & Sentinel, Macon Confederate, Macon Register, snd Columbus Inquirer, and all the leading papers of the State, and be on a footing of tbe strictest courtesy with them. Total Eclipse of the S®n.—A total eclipse of the sun will occur to-morrow, Apiil 2r>tb, invisible in Noith America, but visible in most of South America and Africa. This splendid eclipse begins off the coast of Chili, in Longitude 21 min. 3G sec. E, of Washington, Lat. 31 deg. 23 min. 24 sec. 9outh, and ends in Africa in Lat. 4 deg. 23 min. 36 sec. south, Long. 204 deg. 32 min. 80 sec. W. of Washington. The total eclipse will be visible along a line running near San tiago de Chili, through Rio Janeiro in Brazil, and thence across the Atlantic ocean, endiug iu Lower Central Africa. It is needless to say that the whole scien tific world awaits this event with great inter est, as many important astronomical prob lems ure to be referred to it for solution— Several expeditions of savants left Europe | some time since lor locations favorable for t observations, and that of Professor Agassiz, from Boston, it was hoped, would reach Rio de Janeiro in Mason for observing it at that point- THE MEETING OF SATURDAY. On account of the large demand for the proceedings of the meeting on Saturday, and because some errors occurred in the report of the address of Mr. A. W. Stone, long a resident of the South,and for two years since the war residing at Atlanta, we reprint them below. Mr. Stone presided at the great loy al meeting held at Cooper Institute, N. Y.,' last February. ADDRESS OF a. W. STONK, ESQ., OF ATLANTA, GA. Mr. President and Fellow-Citizens of the United States: An unexpected and ter rible calamity has fallen upon the nation. Our rejoicing is turned into mourning, and the whole nation is “con tracted in one brow of woe.” But yes terday the loyal heart of the people re joiced at the suri ender of General Lee and his army in the hope of a speedy peace: to day our rejoicing is turned into mourning, and a nation is in tears. The Chief Magis trate of the nation is stricken down by the hand of an assassin, and we have met here to give public expression to our feelings upon this dreadful event. Who is equal to the task? Called to preside over the nation, when the sky was dark,and threatening and gather ing blackness every hour, and to reach the Capital of the uatiou he was forced to disguise himself for protection ened assassination. A reckless mob of assas sins paraded the streets of Baltimore, thirst ing for his blood, aided and encouraged by the influential secessionists of that city. It was said by the rebels all over the South that he should never be inaugurated. And threats against his life have ever since been made, and the Press of the South have even advertised and offered a reward for the coward who would undertake the task of assassination. Even here in the city of Savannah, per haps on this very tree, under whose shadows I am now speaking, he was hung in effigy. But the Providence of God preserved him, and lor four years he successfully guided our Ship of State amid the whirlpool ot secession and rebellion. His honest heart and conser vative policy, had endeared him to the peo ple, and by their almost unanimous voice he was called to fill a secoud term, which he had just entered upon, and as that old Ship of State he had so successfully guided was just reaching the haven of peace, he Mas cruelly snatched from the helm. We all anxiously ask, Who shall fill his place in the hearts ot the people and in the administration of the affairs of this nation ? He seemed raised up by Providence, from the common ranks of life, to lead us through this unnatural and bloody conflict. What Moses was to the children of Israel, Abraham Lincoln was to this people, and they had learned to think of him as Hamlet of his father—* 1 He was a man, take him for all in jail we shall not look upon his like again.” He had a proper appreciation of the great issues at stake, and as the breakers of rebel lion lashed into fury by the tempest of secession were receding, he was the man above all others that was looked to as able to control the spirit of radicalism, and temper mercy with justice to the deluded victims of rebellion, who had been seduced and dragged into the whirlpool of revolution, and in his death the people of the South have lost their best friend, and the whole people have sus tained a loss irreparable. Those sires of ruin who inaugurated re bellion in seeking the destruction of those whose only offense was a love for the Stars and Strips, thereby destroyed their best l’nends. I know that their rebellious hearts could conceive aud their heads plan hellish deeds of darkness, but did not think the iu r strumeut could be found for so vile and cow ardly an act as wns perpetrated in Washing ton the night of the 14th. Hell itself would blush at its own purity iu comparison with such an act, and the devil resign his sceptre in disgust before the authors of such treason, treason culminating in the cowardly assassin ation of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation. sake of humanity I will not believe for a moment there lives a man so vile as to endorse the act; and yet hud it been done twelve months ago, I fear more than one city in the Soutli would have commemorated the event by torch-light processions and leud lntzzas for Jeff’ Davis aud the Southern Coi* federacy. But that day has passed, and a just, libe ral and magnanimous government will wel come back the masses of an ill advised peo ple, not holding them responsible for the acts of those hell deserving traitors wlrv have produced such untold miseiy, and “whose names expanding with their growing crime, shall float distasteful down the stream of time." This diabolical assassination, but shows the popular affection for Mr. Liucoln, aud brings eternal infamy, not ouly upon its au thors, but tbe cause they desire to avenge. A just and good man, a conservative ruler, has fallen a victim to treason; but his mem ory will live aud shine as the stars, forever and ever. And when a nation's gratitude shall erect a monument to the fallen heroes of this war. high above all other names will be inscribed the name of Abraham Lincoln. His mission is ended; his work is finished; but not so with the Nation whose represen tative he was. Its foundations are deep laid in the will of the people, who have resolved ! that we shall be one government, one flag, aud that flag the Stars and Stripes. I regret that Mr. Lincoln could not have lived to have witnessed the Jesuit of his la bor, his toilsome days and sleepless nights ; the entire and complete restoration of the Federal Uuion: audited people—free, pros perous, happy. But we bow with resignation to that Prov idence that raised him up, and has taken him away. Aud while our land is clothed in mourning we have great cause for rejoicing. The army of the. Union have been march ing on to glorious, complete, triumphant victory. Joe Johnston, horse, foot and dragoons, has surrendered to the invincible Sherman without a fight, and now “has Gen. Shetman just where he wants him." And to-day our proud banner floats triumphant over the grave of the rebellion, and it only remains to bury the dead skeleton of secession out of sight forever. Let it be buried deep and without benefit of clergy, but Ist a humane, generous, Chris tian Government be magnammious towards the masses of a people who are our brothers, who have been misled by a few wicked and designing men. The Government can afford to be as gene rous as it is great. Its national honor has been vindicated, its stricken flag resurrected with two new stars added to its folds. And the lustre of the promise shining on its ample folds will be brightened by its mag nanimity to a repentant people. But to secure that magnanimity no indiffer ent negative love for the government will do. It must be earnest and sincere; and if there are those who hate the Government, I would advise them to seek some other country more congenial to their own feelings. The greatest liberty and freedom are for this people if they do not refuse it. And as the new and untiied Chief Magis rtate of the nation now takes charge of its affairs, let him have our cordial and united support, trustiug that he will be found equal to the task, and that God will give him wis dom so to direct the affairs of the nation as may speedily result in a lasting peace, the integrity, prosperity and perpetuity of the Federal Union. „To the people of Savannah I would say: \ ou have hitherto been justly proud of your beautiful, enterprising, growing, prosperous *• Forest City.” It has ever been a bright star on the escutcheon of your noble State. Do you desire its future prosperity '! Do you wish to see it the grand metropolis of the South ? If so, go to work with a will and pluck out of your heart all roots of bitter ness that may have matured from the seeds ot secession, and return with hearty obe dience to the fostering care of your common parent, the Federal Government. Rev. S. W. Magill was also on the list of speakers, but on account of the presence of other orators, he declined making any ad dress- The following is a report of the re marks lie had prepared : Fellow’ Loyal Citizens of the United States: It is to me a source of high gratification which you, I doubt not, participate in, that here in this city of Savannah, so long and so late false to our nationality and hostile to our flag, we can now assemble, as upon our own recovered and re-nationalized territory, to make some fitting manifestation of the grief which in common with all the loyal people ot the land we feel, in view of the unspeak able calamity which has befallen the nation, in the sudden and violent death of our hon ored and beloved Chief Magistrate, Mr. Lin coln. I say 6ome fitting manifestation, and I use this word emphatically and with refer ence, for, with all the truly loyal people of the United States, then present, my feeling was, that the meeting held in this square a few days since by the citizens of Savannah, professedly with reference to the death of Mr. Lincoln, had in its method and in its tone, no element of fitness, considering the magnitude, and the solemnity’, and the heart affecting nature of the eveut, wdrich should have given it character. Beside the very appropriate remarks M’ith which his honor the Mayor introduced the object of the meet ing, there was nothing—no impressive boom ing ot the minute gun, no solemn tolling of the bell, no funeral drapery, no prayer of re ligion leading to the throne of God for grace and consolation In the hour ot our affliction— nothing, save the hasty passage of live meagre resolutions, but once and hardly aud ibly read, and which fell as it were still-born upon a seemingly uuappreciating and certain ly an irresponsiveassembly. I refer to this mat ter, Mr. Chairman, to vindicate the patriot ism and the griet of the loyal citizens of the United States, present on that occasion, from the suspicion of beiug so superficial, that we could be as satisfied with the man ner in which things were conducted as be ing iu any measure njittiut/ notice of the loss of if nation, by the violent death of our hon ored and beloved President. It is for the citizens of Savannah to judge whether they can afford to have thus misim proved so propitious an opportunity for winning back to themselves the sympathies of our loyal people. But the memory of Mr. Lincoln cau afford to do without any more appropriate manifestation ou their part, provided their hearts prompted nothin” - better, lor who is there that can be named among the conspicuous men of the age, thro out the world, wrho has occupied so eminent a position, who has achieved so emi nent a work, as that which it has been grant ed by the Ruler ot nations, to be occupied aud to be achieved by the late Mr. Lin coln. Called to tbe Chief Magistracy in most tronblous times, he brought with him the un questioned reputation of eminent honesty aud eminent patriotism, and he hesitated not to avow before the nation his deep sense of his own insutfieieney and of his need of help which God aloue can impart—aud this one administration and into another of un told and bofore unimagined responsibility and labor, he has so conducted, that step by step and with no step backward,he has been risin ,r in the estimation of ail unprejudiced minds throughout our land aud throughout all civ ilized countries. And now though he lias fallen unexpectedly, by violence, all too early as our grieving hearts exclaim, yet he was permitted to see his work achieved, the capital of the traitorous enemy of his coun try in the hands of his victorious General— the central army of that enemy conquered, surrendered—his country well-nigh restored to her pristine power and prosperity—and himself recognised throughout the civilized world as the honored instrument in the hand of God, of giving Freedom to a long*enslaved and deeply oppressed race, in the grateful memory ot whom, tor generations to come, his name will be enshrined, as that of their greatest friend, their best benefactor. Mr. Lincoln has not died before he had accomplished as much as seems to be the share of any one mortal. Even Mo9es the illustrious leader, chosen by God Him self, was not permitted to enter the Promised Land, but Laving caught a glimpse of it, iu its beauty and its breadth from Pisgah's lofty top, he was called away to his reward in the heavens. Our beloved President was per mitted to enjoy an equally clear vision of the growing beauty aud the widening breadth of his rescued and regenerated country, and we doubt not has gone to take his place amid the jubilant rauks of those who bv grace divine, resisting temptation and endur ing hardship, have proved themselves true to the cause of God and humanity. And henceforth he lives in the mem ory of his countrymen, both white aud black, wearing an untarnished rep utation, the achiever of a most consummate triumph, having done, and well done, the work His Divine Master had given him to do “He dies, but HIS WORK lives.” Fel low citizens ot the UmtedjStates, we rejoice to-day, in the midst of our sadness, that God Ewe to us to be our President, Abraham incoln, that he spared him to us so long andlthat through him, cm/-dear President! God has accomplished a work in behalf of nationality aud humanity, in the review of which all history will do him honor— and that to him may be applied evermore, the mspirtred benediction, The memory of THE JUST is blessed. The Post Band from Hilton Head play ed last evening on Johnson Square, in front ol the Pulaski House, to a large assemblage of soldiers and cititizens of Savannah, from eight o’clock till half-past nine. In the crowd which assembled to hear them, not oue failed to speak iu a complimentary way of the per formance, although it was an improvised one with no rehearsal or preparation, but simply an ordinary exhibition, given immediately ou the request ot several citizens and offic ers. We know the merits of thb band, from long acquaintance, and we know that if, while they remain here, they could be in duced to give a more public exhibition with a notice to the people sufficiently in advance, in the daily papers of the city, it would af ford a rare treat to thousands. This band was first organized in February, 1803, under the auspices of Brig. Gen. (now Major General) A. H. Terry, then command ing the Post at Hilton Head, and the brigade stationed there. Mr. G. W. Ingalls, of Con cord, N. H., who had been leader of the fine band of the 3d New Hampshire Regi ment, mustered out under a law of Congress discontinuing regimental bands, was elected to take charge of the organization of the Post Band, and has since devoted much time and used every exertion to make this organiza tion creditable to the members and to the Post. In July, 1864, the Post Baud was temporal ily disorganized in accordance with an economical policy put in force in the District, but it was shortly alter reorganized by Mr. Ingalls, on as good a footing as before. Niue of the original members now remain, and there are seven new perfoimers. The band is composed as follows : G W Ingalls, Band Master. F H Pike, Drum Major. P Parkhurst, Clarionet. W S Russell, E flat Cornet and Violin. L M Currier, Solo B Cornet. C C Currier, second B Cornet. H Stark, Solo Alto and Horn. A Aspinwall, first Alto and Violin. David Thompson, second Alto and Horn. J C Lane, first B Tenor. Frederick Hoffman, second B Tenor and leader of Orchestra. G W Boody, Solo Baritone and Trombone. J O Davis, E Bass and Double Bass. G C Perkins. E Bass. N M Gove, Small Drum. A L Lane, Large Drum. F D Batchelder, Cymbals. It will be seen that the band comprises a good orchestra as well as brass band. The following is a list of the pieces per formed last evening: 1. Teutonia Quick Step. 2. “Peace to the Memory of the Brave,” from “Lurline.” 3. Melange sur “Semiramide.” 4. The Huntsman’s Farewell. 5. Grand Waltz—“ Remembrance of Lon don.” 0. Hilton Head Gallop. 7. Grand Polonaise. First Provost Court.— ln this Court Sat urday Judge Parsons made decisions in the following cases: United States Vs. Solomon Cohen,J.

The New York World, in speaking condo iugly of tbe rebels, says : “ W-e, who have brought their pride and their hopes to the dust ” After helping them as much as possi ble, this is pretty cool. It reminds us of Gough’s story of the sneak who stayed up in the haymow while his,better half killed tbe bear, and then descended and claimed the honor of the deed.
