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. %* PR. 031 CHARLESTON. . Bon. Simeon Deape* addressed a large 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 were reported as being engaged in tearing up the railroad track six miles from the city. "A company of infantry was sent out to at tend to them, but they made good their escape. Omission of Peayeb roR me President.— The following order expelling a clergyman from the lines, and confiscating his personal property, appears in the Courier of the 29th Headquarters Northern District,! Dkp’t of the Sodth, V Charleston, April 26, 1866. ) General Orders,) 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 uu at. By command of Brigadier General John P. Hatch. Llonakd B. Perky, Ass’t Adj’i Gen. 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. FLORIDA NEWS.

Now, Therefore, I, Abraham K. Alison, President of the Senate, and Acting Gover uor ol Florida, do issue this my Proclama 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.

Witness my hand and the Great Seal of tbe State. Done at the Oapito’, [seal] at Tallaha«see, this 6th day of April, A. D. 1865. A. K. Allison, 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. CEMETERY SEPOUTS. * list op uttxaMcprs in laurel obovs ceme tery.
