The Savannah Daily Herald. THPBSOAY, SIAT 4. 1845, FROM OUR EVENING EDITION OF YESTERDAY. Departure of Gkn. Sherman. ~The United States steamer Russia, with Gen. Sherman and staff, left Savannah yesterday afternoon for Hilton Head. Tried to Rain. —Last evening a few drops, and only a few, of rain descended on our city, though hopes had been entertained that a plentiful shower would come. The gar dens near the city present earnest appeals for a little rain. Tub Weather.?— lnstead of pleasant showers in the latter days of April and the commencement of May, we experienced sul try weather; on this, the 3d day of May, 1365, before dawn, blankets and everything that could impart warmth and make the •leepcr comfortable were in requisition. Not a single city of ten thousand inbaßi tants now remains to the Confederacy.— Petersburg, Richmond, Mobile and Augusta, were the last to be regained by the Federal Government. But they are now fallen, as are also Montgomery, the capital of Alabama, Columbus and Macon. Savannah Theatbb. —A good house was at tracted to the Theatre last evening by the “Six Degrees of Crime” with the entire com pany in the cast.. This absorbing play was finely presented. To-night an excellent bill is again offered, The Hunchback and Spectre Bridegroome, Messrs. Davenport and Weir, and Misses LaFond and St. Leon will appear. For Aoocsta— Departure of Steamers— Messengers of Peace and Plenty. —The Government of the United States, as it makes acquisitions of rebellious States, is making strenuous efforts to relieve the wauts of those old but new found frends, who have by the acts of a few been deprived of the protec tion of a good govern nient. Three steamers, loaded with rations, have departed from Savannah for Augusta, messengers of peace, conveying the plentitude of the United States of America. The Condition of Mr, Seward.— The gen eral tyish for the recovery of Mr. Sewrrd may be father to the impression that his condi tion is not so critical as really is the case. Although the telegrams in the latest papers received, announce his continued improve ment, it should be borne in mind that his in juries bate been moat frightful, and, with a persou of his age an unfavorable turn is at any time possible. Private letters received in New York at the last dates were to such (fleet ms to create no little uneasiness among his friends there. TJie Indictment of the Traitors. To the Editors of' the Evening Post : I notice that in some of your late issues you call upou the Attorney-General of the United States to procure the arrest of cer tain of the rebel leaders upon the charge of treason. Would it not be as well to call tbe attention of tbe United States District Attor ney for the district in which the battle of Gettysburg was fought, that he may act iu th« matter, and bring the subject before the Circuit Court of tha United States for that district? Or, perhapa, a fair trial might be had in the district composed partly of the State of OhsX \ I presume the necessary proofs could be Yery easily made in Pennsylvania showing Robert E Lee guilty of the act of actually levying war against the United States within that district j and ao also, in regard to any or all of the officers, who acted under the order# of that rebel chief. And the same remarks apply to each and every one of the officers who accompanied the rebel Morgan in his raid through or into the Stale of Ohio. I see no good reason why Davis, or Ben j - am in, or Breckinridge, or any other of the rebel chiefs, should not be Indicted, and tried and convicted, and punished too, quite as well in Pennsylvania or Ohio, as in the Dis trict of Columbia or any other of the semi loyal districts, In Swartwout’s case (4 Cranch, 126,) Cbiet Justice Marshall, in his opinion, says, speaking of the necessity of tfel in the dis tricts within which the crime to aa alleged to have been committed : “It hfnot the inten tion or the Court to Bay that no individual can be guilty of this crime who has not ap peared in anus against his country. On the contrary, if war be actually levied, that is, if a body of tueo be actually assembled for the purpose of effecting a purp<«e, all those who perform any part, however minute, or however remote from the scene of action, and who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are to be considered as traitors.” Then why not TndtCt' ahd try these arch traitors, in the loyal State of Pennsylvania or in Ohio ? or even in Vermont, since Davis avowed that the acts of the raiders in that State were done under his orders, and as acts of war against the United States, and #ot as acts of pillage and trespass against individu als. I hope you will not suffer this subject to rest until A beginning, at least,shall be made, looking toward the punishment of some of these arch traitors. I think an indictment against Davis, Benjamin, Lee and a few others, in the good old loyal commonwealth of Pennsylvania, would be a good beginning. Sala, in his new book; speaks of Longfel low as "him whose life has been blameless, whose record is pure, whose name is a sound oj fame to all people—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.** Mr. John Stuart Mill is about issuing a work that will a;tract the attention of stu dents. it is an “Examination of Sir William Hamilton's System of Philosophy and the principal Philosophical Questions Discussed SOtTHfcHX OPENINGS FOR KORTHERN «- ENTERPRISE. The Seaboard Cities. (From the New York Evening Poet.) The commercial history of the leading sea board cities of the South—Charleston, Sa vannah, Mobile, and especially New Or leans—shows that the great merchants, fac tors, brokers and bankers who have acquired the most extended reputation and the largest fortunes, have generally been foreign or northerners. It is true of almost every branch of city enterprise. The proprietors of those famous houses, the St. Charles aud St. Loui9 of New Orleans, which won a world-wide fame as American hotels long befoie the days of the New York saints—St. Nicholas and St. James—were nothemers. The projectors, proprietors, and generally the editors of the most enterprising and best known southern journals w e re from the north or from abroad. The steamship lines to Charleston, Savannah aud New Orleans have been.mainly owned and wholly con trolled in thi9 city. Indeed, every enterprise requiring unusual tact and energy seems, for the past tiiirty years, to have been aban doned by the southerners, who claim to be capable ol doing anything, it is no rest *c tl n upon the North to say that the largest fortunes accumulated in tnis country was ac quired by a German; and that the largest individual war tax was paid by a Scotch man ; and that many of our most eminent merchants camo to this city, penhiless for tune-seekers, from New England villages and towns. It is not a reflection—it is sim ply a fact. the south's dependence upon foreign aid. The rebellion, however, has demonstratt and beyond question that the great busiuess of southern cities had not been done by south ern men. The struggle for independence has shown the South how utterly depeudeut it was, for ships and supplies, upon foreign aid. A darling dream, lor years, has been the es tablishment of short and direct trans-Atlan tic steamship lines from Charleston and Sa vannah to Liverpool and Southampton. The year 1851 would seem to have afforded a fa vorabie opening. But the South had no ships. The blockade busiuess to and from ail the Atlantic and Gulf ports from Wilming ton to Galveston, and to Brownsville (or Mataruoras) on the Rio Grande, has been iu the hands ot foreigners. Avery considerable amount of the cotton captured at bavannah and Charleston was “claimed” by English ky factors and agents representing British houses. The large stocks of ail sorts oi merchandise sold lately, and uovv selling at ruinous Muetion prices, in Southern port?, are offered by British merchants and agents, who are willing, nay auxious, to “shut up aud go home. Their places are to be □lied. Ihe restoration ot the Union implies a restoration ot ail the legitimate enterprises wjncli have made the wealth of the South, iho situation of the southern seaboard cities is such that they will always be great de pots ot export and import. New Orleans the queen city of them all, will yet be, in all respects, to the South what New York is to the North. Important to the Human Family.—With out attempting to combat or endorse the theory set forth in an extract from a report of the Committee of tbe Michigan Legisla ture, if it be not true, it is about as clever an advertising dodge as has been played upon a legislative body. If it is an established fact, then Mackinaw trout will boou become as precious as gold fish. The report says: The fisheries ot Michigan are but* yet in their infancy, and yet the total annual pro ceeds amount to over a million of dollars. They afford a highly prized luxury for im mediate consumption, aud form one of our leading articles of export, and are very justly regarded as constituting oue of our greatest interests. It is also a matter worthy of se rious consideration that the profusion with which finny tribes (especially Mackinaw trout,_ so called) propagate their species is a peculiarity said to be imparted to those who partake freely and regularly of them lor food—a supposition that would seem to be strongly supported by facts, as fishermen are proverbial for the number of their depend ants. Many of the inhabitants ot the north ern fishing districts of our State are the hap py fathers of ten, or over a score of children. \ ery numerous cases can be cited as striking proof in support of this theory. Thousands ol the wealthier classes from the most civil ized portions of the Union, especially since the breaking out ot the war, become con verts to this theory (through patriotic mo tives undoubtedly), and go annually to the fish-yielding rivers and lakes of the North. Bisuop is in our cours'e of misquotation again: “Westward the star of empire,” &e. Berkeley, who bad, as his infallible friend Pope declared, “every virtue under heaven,” had among his virtues the virtue of correctness, and he wrote, “Westward the course of empire,” &c. We give the lines as Berkeley wrote them, and as they are printed iu Volume IV of the Collections of the Rhode Island His torical Society, which contains a notice of Bishop Berkeley, prepared by that distin guished scholar, Prof. Elton. They form tne sixth aud last verse of a poem “On the prospect of planting Arts and Learning in America,” and were written while their author resided at Newport —31,)- “Westward the count oT empire takes Its wav • The /our first acts already part, y ’ A fifth shall close the drama of the day; plme'ii noblest offspring is the 4a t,” It will be observed that the Bishop whose authority in all that relates to literature is of the highest, say “four first acts,” and not “first tour acta,’ though the latter form is held by most writecs to be correct, and the other form not on y incorrect, but involving a positive contradiction. “IIow,” it ie asked, “can thdbc be ‘four first acts’ to a drama, and they followed by a filth act?” We suppose that the reason that Berkeley's line is go generally misquoted is because Bancroft lias misquoted it on the back of the volumes of his long continued and uev er-to-be-ended history. He ought trt be au thority on all that relates to America, but but he is not on this point.— Bostou Traveller. SHIPPING INI'EhUUEXCE. PORT OK SAVANNAH. MAY S.
