TWIN SENSATIONS—A BILLIARD WON
DER-A COOKING ACADRICT.
Jus? at present, New York la happy—su
pereminently so. New York ba9 got anew
SecfliUU n, In lect, two Seditions—one for
either sex—i fan nine and a masculine Sen*
sation—one Sensation of the /mnfa-loons, and
another Sensation of the petti-loons— a large
sized Sensation of the denomination male ;
also a full-gtown Sensation of the female
persuasion. And, strange to say, both Sen
sations arise from Tables, and the uses there
of ; though the one table is six-legged and
the other table is quadrupedal, the former
being, in truth, a Billiard Table, while the
latter is nothing less than that ever-popular
institution known of all men at the Dining-
Table.
, The Billiard Table sensation is much the
elder one of the two—in fact is nearly three
years old, and was dying out, but it has re
cently received anew lease of life, and
seems to have revived with ten-fold its origi
nal vitality. The cause of this sudden resur
rection is the receut advent of a French gen
tleman, Carrne. This individual is a profes
sor of the noble game of billiards, and does
such wonderful things with cues and bails,
as to completely eclipse even his brilliant
countryman M. Claudius Berger, who
visited tills’country a few years since, and
completely astounded our Yankee professors
of the cue, by making the four billiard balls
do the most absurdly impossible things, in
utter defiance of all hitherto known laws of
geometry, velocity and probability.
M. Caroie is said to so far outstrip M.
Berger, in the mysteries of Billiard Science,
as to convince Messrs. Phelan, K&vanagb,
Goldth waite, Deery, Fox, Seerieter, Foster,
Tieman, and all the rest of them, that they
are mere novices. This Billiard Sensation is
supposed to belong exclusively to the men.
The Dining-Table Sensation has been in
augurated by another Frenchman named M.
Blot, who has come over to our benighted
country expressly to initiate our rising gen
eration, or the female half of it, into the
mysteries of proper, wholesome cookery.
In fact, M. Blot is a culinary missionary—a
priest of the pot—a king of the kettle—a
monarch of the moulding-board—an oracle
of the oven —a preceptor in pastry
teacher of roast and boiled—mentor in
stewed and fried—grand instructor in baked
anti broiled, and in fact chief advocate and
adviser in all and singular, everything which
propel ly pertains to the culinary art.
Monsieur Blot has opened a “Cooking
Academy ’ in New York, where he delivers
a daily lecture on the Ait of Cooking, illus
trated by practical examples.
He bat, in his Lecture Room, a large Cook
ing Range, supplied with all requisite Uten
sils in the frying-pau and sauce-panic way.
He announces each day a hill of fare,
and then, with the aid of a neat-handed
French girl, his attendant, he proceeds to
prepare the various dishes before the eyes
of bis large class.
As the Lc ctore proceeds, the articles are
cooking, and by the time the Professor
ceases Speaking, everything is “done to a
turn;" dinner is then served, acid the. La
dies of the are invited to paitake of the
dishes they have seen prepared, and they
are in tbi- way enabled to pass most Satis
factory Judgment upon the pracUcal value
of the professor's teachings.
The thing has become quite the fashionable
rage in New York, and the room of M.
Blot is crowded to its utmost extent every
morning. Ahead is thinking of giving
two or three Lectures a day, instead of one,
and be has received a petition, numerously
signed, asking him to consent to teach a
class of gentlemen. Why -gentfcmt* desire to
learn practical cooking, probably they know,
w« den t,
Seriously, we regard this mission of Pro
fessor Blot as a most fortunate thing for our
coun.ry. There is no doubt that American
women are generally very bad cooks. Even
our Gallic neighbors; and when, as is gen
erally the case, the culinary department of
an American bouse is entrusted to an im
ported “ Biddy ” or “ Gretchen," the < ( results
aretruiy fearfof"'* ~ - ——
Os course, of> ; Cettain dishes which ara ex
clusively of American origin, American wo
men are life bet/fcooks. No Frenchman ever
yet could properly cook “pork and beans,"
or. comprehend - the occult mysteries of
“pttmpkia'pie,’’ nor could any foreign knight
of the stew-pan and rolling-pin ever learn
how to manage the various delicious prepa
rations of Indian com. “bom bread,"
“ com cakes, " “ com fritters, "
“Indian pudding, “roasting ears, ”
“Johnny cake," and the hundred other
dishes invented exclusively for Yankee de
lectation, would far transcend the science of
M. 810 t...
But his mission is a true one—au excel
lent one, and a religious one—for good cook
ery conduces to good nature—good nature
leads to good actions—good actions are a
part of true Christianity, and Christianity
Isads to Heaven.
COMMERCIAL PROSPECTS OF SAYAN
> NAH.
As the mists of war are dispelled, which
obscure all objects, we perceive, in the fu
ture, a brighter commercial perspective for
Savannah. We cannot look for an immediate
return of that posperity which makes this city
the entrepot of a lucrative foreign commerce,
as it was the depot of a considerable export
trade, and the centre of a large inland trafle,
by means of her internal communications
with a rich interior. But she still retains the
elements of a prosperous trade. The cul
ture of two of her principal staples, cotton
and rice, may not be revived for some years
to come, as they involve a large outlay, and
both labor and capital may be deficient for
the purpose; bat Georgia can produce
. another article, which, although not entitled
to the distinction of a staple, is in considerable
demand in Europe. We allude to Lumber.
It may be made the basis of a lucrative in
terchange of commercial equivalents. The
export of lumber from Savannah just be
fore the war amounted to many millions of
feet. The facilities for preparing it for for
eign markets arc not wanting in the imme
diate vicinity of Savannah, and any defi
ciency in this respect will be soon supplied
by Northern or foreign capital. In fact, we
are informed that arrangements are • now in
progress for building a number of new miUs.
Georgia could enter into successful com
petition with any of the Southern States in
the export of corn and wheat. The south
western division of the State Cannot be sur
passed for its productive power, which has
earned for it the title of the granary of the
South. Fertility would more than compen
sate for the greater distance from markets,
and the higher charges for inland transporta
tion. Should cotton and rice cease to be cul
tivated to their former extent, from the want
of slave labor, we have little doubt but what
the agriculturist of Georgia would find in
these substitutes remunerating prices, and
Georgia, through the port of Savannah,
would become a grain-exporting State.
Naval stores have formed, although sub
sidiary, profitable articles of export. It was
,the richness and value of her other products
that induced her agriculturists to give their
almost exclusive attention to these.
But it is in the abundance of her mineral
treasures that Georgia will find the sources
hereafter of a remunerativeforeign commerce..
Deposits ol iron ore are Widely diffused
throughout the State. There are many
minor articles not embraced in our list,
which would constitute the basis of profit
able trade when the resources of- the State
are properly developed.
We have here then the elements of a pros
perous trade if cotton and rice should never
again enter the list of her exports. Savan
nah, from her geographical position, must
form the outlet of inch a trade. But it may
be said that there is a want of both capital
and enterprise to give due effect to those
commercial capabilities—that the banking
capital of Savannah has been nearly annihi
lated by the war-that the advances so neces
sary as the stimulus to mercantile adventure,
and even to agricnltnr&l improvement, will
be wanting. But neither capital nor enter
prise are ever found deficient when the hope
of Earn is the incentive. Our Northern
fqlends will supply every want in this respect,
as they have hitherto done, in the same man
ner as they supply capital sos other purposes.
They have built up the interior towns of
Georgia, and even embellished its commer
cial metropolis. %*

assembly of citizens at Zion Church last
Friday afternoon, upon their new responsi
bilities and their duties to the Government.
Guerillas are still busy in thsir depreda
tions just outside the lines at Charleston. On
Thursday last, a band of eighteen marauders

up the railroad track six miles from the city.
"A company of infantry was sent out to at

No. 29. f •
It has bsen rsportsd at these Headquarters I
SAVANNAH, GA„ TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1885.
that the Rev. Alex. W. Marshall, Missionary
of St Johns Chapel, Hampstead, has, in the
services at the said Chapel, since the occu
pation of the city by the U. S forces, omitted
the prayers for the President of the United ,
States. In a written communication, at- j
dressed to the Commander of the Po-t of
Charleston, he styles the prayer for the Pres
ident of the United States apolitical prayer."
It is therefore ordered that he he sent beyond
the lines of the Army, and be forbidden to
enter the city of Charleston, daring its occu
pation by the United States troops, without
the permission of the Commander of the
District or Department.
It is further ordered that his personal prop
erty be confiscated to the use of the United
States Government.
In punishing the head of the congregation
worshipping In St. Johns Chapel, the Brig
adier-General commanding desires it to be
considered a warning to tLose-whn, attend
ing the services for weeks, so far forgot their
duty ti| their country as not to inform the
Military Authorities of the conduct of this
disloyal Priest.
They are also warned that they will here
after be?marked persons, aud an act done,
or word uttered in justification of his dis
loyalty, will subject them to a like puuisli

TUB PLANTERS AND THE FREEDMEN.
Gen. Qatch has issued an order addressed
to the planters residing on the rivers within
his district, informing them that in view of
the present unsettled state of the country
and the absence of any recognized State au
thority, and the importance of making a
crop the present season, he assumes control
of the plantations near the military lines,
and prescribes the following regulations:
Ist. The planters, after taking the oath of
allegiance, will assemble the freedmen (lately
their slaves), aud inform them that they arc
free, and fiiat henceforth they must depeud
upon their own exertions for their support.
2d. Equitable contracts iu writing will be
made by the owners of the land with the
freedmen for the cultivation of the land dur
ing the present year.
Payment will be made in kind, and the
allowance of one-half the crop is recom
mended as fair compensation tor the labor,
the landlord furnishing subsistence until the
crop is gathered.
These contracts will be submitted to the
nearest Military or Naval Commander for
approval and endorsement.
When the above requirements are complied
with, protection will be granted as tar as
military necessity will allow; but where no
contract is made the crop raised will be cou
sider§dforf|ited for the use of the laborers.
Shoal a the owners refuse to cuftivateitttley
will be considered as endeavoring to embar
rass the Government, and the land will he
used for colonies of the freedmen from the
interior.

one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five:
and whereas, I, Abiaimm K. Auisou, Presi
dent of the Senate of this State, (lid, on the
third day of Said month and year qualify
and assume, and undertake to exercise, a.l
the power and autherity appertaining to the
office. of Governor, devolved upon me. for
the time being unler and according to the
Constitution and laws ot the State;
and, whereas, the General Assembly
bly ot the State of Florida did, by an act ap
proved December 12th, 1862, entitled, ‘ au
act to catry into effect the 18th section of the
3rd article of the Constitution of the State
relating to vacancies in the office of Govern
or," provide “That iu case of the removal
from office by death or refusal to qua ify of
the Governor during the term for which be
was elected, the President of the Senate, or
the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
as the case may be, who is actlug as Qover
nor’according to the provisions ot the Con
stitution shall immediately upon assuming

Now, Therefore, I, Abraham K. Alison,
President of the Senate, and Acting Gover

tion, and hereby give notice and direction
that an election wm be held on Wedue>day,
the seventh day of June, A. D. 1865, for
Governor of the State of Florida, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by tbe death of the late
Governor, John Milton, deceased.
Judges of Probate, aud alt officers en
trusted with tbe execution of the Election
Laws of the State, will make pr p.-r ar
rangements for said election and make re
turns to the Speaker of tbe House of Rep

Constitution and laws of the State.
Witness my hand and the Great Seal of

Acting Governor of Florida.
By the Governor—Attest:
B. F. Allen, Secretary of State.
The Florida Union(Jacksonvile), which we
presume,speak by authority in its comments
upon the above proclamation, makes the fol
lowing significant remarks^:
THE .ELECTION TOR A MEW STATE OOYEKNOB.
Tbs death of Governor Milton, announced
some weeks since, has made vacant the
gubernatorial chair. The State constitution
rei ( uin s that the President of the Senate
shall become Governor pro tun , and on being
qualified therefor, shall immediately fosu s a
proclamation, giving sixty days notice for an
election to fill the vacancy, In accordance
with this requirement, a proclamation has
been issued As has beeu customary, we
notice in several Florida papers, announce
ments of different persons as candidates for
the office- As many of our readers are enti
tled to the privilege of voting in this State,
and as, iu nil probability, by the time the
seventh of June arrives, they will have an
opportunity to exercise that privilege, if the
election should come off at that time, it
suggests itself to us that it might be well for
them to fix upon some candidate known to
entertain thorough Union sentiments. We
do not mean to advocate any hasty or
premature movement, but suggest to the peo
ple to consider the matter over at their
leisure. We shall also be pleased to
bear from any of our frieuds on the subject,
and on matters pertaining to it.
