The Savannah Daily Herald. BY 8. W. MASON ANI» CO. SAVA* XAJL> P KID AY, MAY 12. 1965. The Rais. —Tlie land was blessed with a bounteous fall of rain last night. It seemed indeed, fora while as though the windows ot heaven were open, in snch volume did the torrent* descend. The rain commenced at nightfall in thunder-showers with vivid light ning and heavy thunder, but later In the eve ning settled down into a steady and bounti ful' fain. Every drop of rain was of priceless value to the thirsty soil, and will do much to aave the crops iu this region, which has suffered considerably Uom the long-contin ued drought. The streets were completely submerged at times by the floods, aud the unlucky pedes trian who ventured out Into the pitchy night found himself iu an almost uufordable stream at every crossing Operations of the Dog Law. —The dog law which went into operation on Wednes day last, has been very ' beneficial iu its re sult?, a large number having been taken up and impounded. To the paroled prisoners and others, it is a source ol employment. Yesterday iu all portions of the city dog catchers were on the alert. It was impos sible for a stray canine to escape that was not muzxled. Thu streets are now clear of these nuisances, as is also the market, yet it is to be feared that as soon as the enforcement of the law expires, the streets will again be fill ed with them, as many owners of dogs are now keeping them tied or chained up. Country Produce Coming to Market.— We noticed yesterday evening at the Market a large number of carts from Tatuall and Bulloch Counties. They brought to market poultry, eggs, jerked beef, honey, sweet po tatoes, etc. From various indications we may expect in a few days larg# arrivals of carts with produce. Our farmers iu the ad jacent counties have long desired to trade with 3avaun#h, as wa3 their custom, and they wish to sell their produce at fair prices and obtain supplies at rales approximating those established for the sale of their pro dufcts. Again they have unbounded confidence in the currency of the United States Govern ment, believing that it will never depreciate in value and become worthless, like that of the Confederate States. These farmers, sturdy and bronze-visaged, have long desired peace, that they might till their lands again, aud they all talk now ns if they anticipated a brigut future. Blanche, Tray and 3weetheart. We will State for the beueflt of those who may lose valuable or pet dogs through the enforce ment of Special Order No. 32, that the dog pound.is situated upon St. Julian street, east of Liu ville’s Foundry, aud opposite Franklin (Reservoir) Square. Dogs can be recovered by .owners from this institution by the pay ment of two dollars. An invalid soldier at the pound sells muzzles for dogs. Improvement of our Whasf Frontage.-** A decided improvement is now in progress on the buildings fronting the river. They are receiving a coat of dove colored wash.— That part of the city which is observed on approaching it on the river, instead of blackened walls, will have a uniformity of color along the entire range of the bluff. The work is being done by the foioes of Capt. Albert Stearns, our Street Commisioner. More akriv ls of Paroled Prisoners.— The steamer U. S. Graut brought yesterday aft* noon to the city, about forty paroled Confederate prisoners, en route for their homes in Georgia, Florida and Alabama.— Tfoy are Horn Johnson’s Aimy, and came from Charleston to Hilton Head, thence to Savin, ab. To Qvs Consumers.— We judge that we may be doing a tavor to many of our readers in calling attention to one of our new adver tisements, to the effect that gas-consumers, delinquent in payment, will have the gas cut off after the 15th of this month. Distressing Accident —Yesterday morn ing John Henry, aged seven years, child of Mr. James Monahan, while -playing in a swing in front of its parent’s residence on Broughton street, fell lrorn the swing, fractur ing the left arm a few inches from the wrist. Dr; Win. Gk Bulloch, surgeon, was called in and set the fractured limb. Hail. —During the storm of rain yesterday, hail fell abont the size of a large pea. We do not apprehend that it ha3 doue any injury to the growing crops. Ckarlestos.— A committee have petition ed Col. Gurney, commanding the post, for the use of Hibernian Hall on Thursday, the 11th of-May. It was proposed to initiate a movement toward the restoration of peace andobedience to the laws of the country. The request was immediately acceded to by Col. Gurney. Meeting at Zion Church.—The meeting of the colored population for the purpose o £ f establishing a public press was held yester day afternoon, at Zion Church. There w , a large attendance. The meeting was ad dressed by Major Delaney, Mr. Hurley Ser geat Barclay and others.— Courier, lotf’ Gen. Washburn has tendered his resigna tion to Gen. Thomas, to take effect the Ist of May.

Running tha rounds of the Northern press there is a great deal of indiscreet mat ter in relation to the recent action of General 3hem.au—3tuff, that in in cooler urnm-nts.* when every thing btcapt s sifted and proper ly weighed, will have to be taken back. We admit we are sorry the General ever signed toe now renowned*“Memorandum.” We admit he should have placed himself on the basis of negotiation indicated by the Presi ,'deut and studiously followed by General Grant respecting the surrender of Lee—that ot taking into consideration military matters alone, leaving those of a civil character to the Government. But, wo do not countenance the idea for one moment, that General Sherman was in fluenced by auy other than the most pairotic of impulses, and an iutense dsriro to brin<>- the country to a state of repo-e. Had lie other, and particularly ambitious motives why should he have stipulated to send the document to Washington lor approval? We are afraid meu do not take into consideration the fact, that the miud ot the country was irritated by the brutal assassination of our Chief Mngistate-—intensified almost to the point of indiscriminate revenge upon the in stigators of rebellion—-aud that Sherman aud his auny were not yet apprised of the occur rence. Neither do they think of the peculiar position of a commanding officer, and of the necessity tor his acting with promptitude and decision in great emergencies. His line of conduct may have been faulty, to some extent, but tor this, a generous people should not impugn the motives of so devoted a pub lic servant. * We are not a prophet nor the son of a pr.-. phet, but we venture 1o predict that in the cdm light of history, General Sherman will stftnd out, in a purely military view, as a genius ot the very first order—that his opera tions upon the field will have a tendency to modify the lactic3 of European natious.'and that niilitary criticism will award him a lofty positiou among the great commanders of the world. It becomes us, we think, to be more careful of the reputation of men, who have shown heroic devotion to the cause of the Union and of Freedom, and not suffer a single mistake to e land entirely gur appreci ation of the inestimable value of theii ser vices. A counsellor in Detroit describes his pov erty as follows: “When I came to Detroit I was in perfect rags; the smallest hole in my shirt was the one I stuck my head through, and I had to have that, my only shirt, washed by the dozen, for it was iu twelve pieces.” The musicians attached to the New York heatres struck on Wednesday, but were t J° terms by the managers making traI U^meUl3 to suljs^tute pianos lor orefies- FROM CHARLESTON. ISTEBESUSG NEWS. . From the Charleston Courier of the 10th, we take the following interesting aud impor tant news from South Carolina : From Columbia, S, C.—General Johnston's Dis patch—Proclamation of the Governor — frc., ye fc. We have received from a friend, C. C. Trumbo, Esq, who left Columbia last Thurs day, files *of the Columbia Phoenix, with dates ;o the 4th inst. _ Governor Magrath arrived in Columbia on Tuesday, 2d inst, ami took quarters at tbe Shiver Home. The South Carolina Legisla ture had tailed to get a quorum, ouiy about thirty members making tneir appearance at Greeuville. Those iu attendance uie-t and ad journed. No definite action had been taken iu reference to auother meeting. 'f ho following dispatch has been received by the Governor from General Johnston : Greensboro, N. C., April 30. > Forwarded from Chester, May 1,1865. > His Exctl/ency Governor A. G. Majrath : The di.-aster in Virginia, the capture of enemy of all our worships for the prepara tion of amunition and repairing of arms ; the impossibility of recruiting our little ar rny, opposed by ten times its number ; of supplying it except by robbing our own citizens, destroyed all hopes of success ful wur. I have, therefore, made a Military Convention with General Sherman to termi nate hostilities iu North and S uth Carali na, Georgia aud Florida. I made this Con vention to spare the blood of the gallant little army committed me, to prevent further suf fering of our people by the devastation and ruin inevitable from tbe marches of iuva diug armies, and to avoid the crime of wa ging hopeless war. » J. E. Johnston. The Fhoeenix, of the 4th, which is the latest, says: ‘-The official announcement of this dispatch will appear in our next issue in the proclamation of the Governor, with which will appear the letter of General Lov ell, and other papers of interest connected with the communication between Generals Johnston and Sherman. The following proclamation of the Gov ernor, in relation to the subsistence stores of the defunct “Confederate Slates Govern ment,” is published: State of South Carolina. Headquarters, Columbia,) May 2, 4866. > Tq the PeopL of the State of South Carolina : The surrender of the army under the com mand of Gen. Lee, in Virginia, has been followed by the surrender ot the army under the command of Gen. Johnston in North Carolina. To these armies South Carolina has contributed, with very inconsiderable exceptions, her entire male population. The brave men iu these armies who have sur vived the bloody war of the past lour years, are now returning home, as prisoners of war, on their parole; and unable agaiu 1o take up their arms until the conditions have been performed on which their captivity has beep terminated. Tbe Government of tbe Confederate States, itflbe creation of which South Carolina unit ed with her sister Slates, has suspended its civil and military authority, and the high duty of providing measures fer the welfare of its citizens, by a stern necessity, lia9 been devolved upon the Government ot the State. In tills unexpected termination of the ac tive powers of government, in peace aud in war, which South Caroliua granted to tbe common Government of the Confederate States, circumstances have rendered the con dition of this State one of peculiar embar ra?sment. Deeply suffering from the consu quences of the war, in uiauy respects, in none is that suffering more peculiarly trying than in the misery which now affects a con siderable portiou of the population ; which threatens a larger portiou, aud may involve the whole of it in the suffering which want, approaching starvation, has produced and will produce. The large supplies contributed to tbe support of the armies of the Conied eration had been given at a time when abundauce enabled tne population to bear its withdrawal without aggravated sufferin<>\ But the great destruction of means of sub sistenee at the present time, and the difficul ties of securing it in tbe future by the next crop, had, even before the reverse which be fell tbe armies of the Confederation, satisfied all that it would be impossible to part with the supplies which had been gathered for tbe armies without destroying tbe support of tbe population in mauy portions of tne State.— And attempts were made to inform the au thorities of the Oonfcdhrate Government that a a only tbe apprehension but the certain; y of evil consequences would prevent the re moval of sucu supplies. YVith the dissolution of the armies of the Confederation, the necessity for these sup plies has ceased; with the removal of thafc necessity arises the stronger obligation upon the authorities ot the Slate. To that end, theretore, it is now declared that all subsis tence stores aud property of the Confederate States within the limits of the State, should be turned over to and accounted for by the agents of the State appointed for that pur pose. The subsistence and other stores to be used for the relief of the people of the State and the other property of whatever kind to be held lor the common benefit of the State, aud subject to s ch . distribution as may be hereafter determined upon by the proper authorities of the State. It will be recognized as a duty in the high est degree obligatory upon the agent* of the State who will receive these supplies, to pro vide out of them freely to the soldiers of this or any other State passing through our limits ; who may need aid. Subject to this claim \ all such supplies will be held for the purpose ! of ftirnishiug subsistence and support to the thousands who iu different parts of the State ; are now destitnte and In want of food : ,nd ! whose suffering can only be alleviated by ; this disposition of these supplies. By the Governor : A. G. Magrath, : W. 8. Mullins, Lt. Col. and A. A magazine, situated near the river, con taining about ten tuousand pounds of powder exploded on Tuesday evening. No lives were lost. In an editorial on the riotous conduct of the paroled prisoners passing through Co lumbia and Augusta,the Phopuixsays: “The lives ot women and children were endanger ed two days ago by the insane riding of trooo ers through Our streets, and more than oue person bud narrow escapes from rifle bullets discharged recklessly about the precinct.” At a meeting of the City Couucil oa tfi» 2d, a reeolution was offered to abolish free rations at the end of two weeks from that date. It wa9 laid over until the next meel ing. On motion, the Marshals were directed to visit and search all places within tbe corpo rate limits of the city where liquor was sold, and destroy, all found in such places. The following is the telegraphic intelli gence in the Phoenix oj the 2d inst.: -The Federal General Schofield commands the Department of North Carolina. General Terry has been appointed Military Governor, and lias issued a proclamation emancipating the slaves.” A public meeting is called to take steps for the organization of the people to protect thems.-Ives from the outrages of riotous and lawLss men. The Piioauix, in au editorial on the assassi nation of Presideut Lincoln, says: “It is manifestly inconsistent wkh the frank emtrse pursued by tbe Confederate authorities, to resort to any such proceeding for the good of the country, even if the death of Lincoln could be productive of any benefit to us. We have ndr sympathies with the assassina tion.” One marked feature in these papers is the absence of all notices or advertisements of “negroes for sale.” THE LATE HON. JAS. L. PETIGRU. To Editor Charleston Courier: Sir—My attention lias been called to an article in your paper of May 2d, copied from the New York Times 17th April, and I find it so full of misapprehensions that I beg leave*to correct tbe same through the same medium. The Times say3 : Characteristic Act of Mr. Lincoln.—lm mediately after our army took possession of Charleston the President wrote a letter to the commanding officer, directing him to inquire after the family of the late James L. Petigru, and to provide them with whatever they might need. He inclosed a handsome sum as a personal contribution toward'their wauts if they should be iu a condition to require it. Special instructions were also given to secure them lull protection and the "quiet oc cupation of their home. Mr. Petigru, it wiil be remembered, was one of tbe most distinguished lawyers of South Caroliua, aud stood firm and unmovable, though almost alone in bis devotion to the Union, through ail the madness of nullification in 1832, and of secession at a later day. Like every other Southern Uni<*i man, he was reduced lopov e ty by bis course, but Lis high-toned integ rity and unflinching devotion to principle, commanded the respect even of his most bitter political foes. We are glad to learn that considerable sums of money Lave been raised iu Boston and New York for the relief of the surviving members of his family.— New York Timas, 17th ult. President Lincoln did very kindly write lo Col. Woodford, directing that Mr. Petigru’s family should be protected, but he made no “personal contribution toward their w’ants.” My father was not “reduced to poverty by his course;” he was not rich when the war began, and the fire of 186 L destroyed his house and its contents. He suffered in no way from his political principles; oa tbe con trary, the Legislature decided almost unani mously, at tne session of 1862, to continue the work of re-arranging the code of laws, so that the income mighi not be lost to Mr. Petigru, to whom the charge bad been given. My father was loved as much as he was respected; during the most stormy days, ho met with the utmost attention and affection irom his compatriots, ancl bis absence now is to be doubly deplored, because tbe coura geous heart and the strong sense of justice which never faltered in the path of duly and houor, cannot to day help the State which, in wrong or in right, be loved with a true patriot's devotion. There have been considerable sums of money raised in Boston and New York, but they were for the support of my father’s elder daughter, who went to reside at the North ear y iu the war. Hoping that h« New York Times will also do me tue favor to insert this, I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, S Petigru Kino. Charleston, MayG, 1865. A Private Letter from Gen. diierman.— The following letter from General Sherman was addressed to a distinguished soldier and an old friend. It shows that the hero of. Georgia has as much modesty as he has merit, many kind tokens from the North, but none gave me more satisfaction than to know that you wav died with interest mv efforts iu the national cause. Ido not think that a human being could feel more kindly towards an enemy than I do to the people of the South, and I only pray that I may live to see the day when they aud tbeilr cbidren will thank me, as one who labored to secure and main tain a government worthy of the land we iuheriled, and strong enough to secure our children the peace and security denied us. “Judging lrorn the pre<s, the world magni fies ray deeds above their true value, and I fear the future may not reaHze its judgment. But whatever fate may befall me, I know that you will be a generous aud charitable critic, and will encourage one who only hopes iu the struggle to do a man’s share. “With great respect. “Your friend and admirer, “W. T. SIIKRMAN, “Major-General.” A Philosophical Wav op Looking at it.—* The Newark (Wayne county; Courier oflast week has the following paragraph: Since the announcement of the death of the President, we have had no heart to de vote much time or attention to our paper • so we have given up most of the space to cor respondents and the proceedings and exer cises of our citizens on the funeral occasion We have also omitted to give any ol the par ticulars of the foul assassination, as we judged that every reader had, ere this be come lully conversant with ail facts iu the matter. It is estimated at the Treasury Department taut tliL* daily expenses of the government have been reduced nearly $1,000,000 per day since the surrender es Lee's army. The clerical aud other force of the Quartermaster's Department is to be immediately reduced fifty per cent, Harvey Fard, an old inau in New Haven, was very much affected by the news of Pres ident Lincoln’s death, and after appearing much depressed all day, fie dropped dead iu tfi« evening. Mr. A D. Richardson states in his forth, coming work: ria On the day of Mr. Lincoln’s first inaugu ration, I travelled in a crowded railway car in Mississippi and Louisiana. While* th« tram was stopping and conversation could be beard through the carriage, someone ,l iuded to the event Another passenger re. pLel : “I hope to God he will be killed be fore he takes the oath.” A third said • “T hive wagered anew hat that neither i, o ‘nor Hamlin will ever live to bo inaugurated” Neaily all piesent belonged to the educated wealthy, slave holding class—the class whHi o lginated and conducted the war. Several expressed approval of these remarks, no one uttered a word of diss nt * ot I was in the Cotton States for weeks after thus, and the subject was frequently alluded to iu my presence. I heard but one man condemn the proposed assassination aud' l was a Unionist. Again and again leadin'- journal?, winch were called reputable,askedT L there no Brutus to.rid the world of this tyrant?’ Rewards were openly r.rowJrf ; .r tLc President's heed. If W.LESKid then been murdered in Baltimore, eve r thoroughly secession journal iu the South would have expressed its approval, directly or indirectly. Ot course, I do not believe that tue masses, or all secessionists, would have desired such a stain upon the American name; but even then as afterward wh-m they murdered our captured soldiers, and starved, froze and shot our prisoners, the men who led aud controlled the rebels an peared deaf to humanity and to decency Chanty would fain hold them insane; but there was too much method in their madness The foliow'ing paragraph from tbo late Hou. Edward Everetts oration at Gettys burg, expresses as truly to-day as then, the sentiments of Northern people towards the leaders of the great rebellion, now, hapnilv drawing to a close : * Tue people of loyal America will never take to their confidence, or admit again to a share in their Government, the hard-hearted men whose cruel lust of power has brought this desolating war upon the land, but there is no personal bitterness felt, even against hem. Tney may live if they oan l*wx to live alter wantonly causing the death to so mauy thousand fellow men ; they may live in sate obscurily beneath the sneiter of the Government they have sought to overthrow, or they may flee to ihe protection of .he G.v ernmentof Europe—some of them are al ready theie, seeking happily iu vain, to ob tain the aid of foreign jPowers in further ance of their own treason. There let them stay. The humblest dead soldier that lies cold and still in his grave before us, is an object ot envy beneath the clods that cover him, in comparison with tho living man who xs willing to grovel at tho foot of a foreign Uiioue Tor abaistunco in tlio luin of his country. Andrew Jacksou, during thy days of his Presidency was once assailed as he was de scending the steps of the Capitol by a furl ous political opponent who branaislied a loaded cane and a pistol. It was at tho height of the Uuited States Bank veto excite ment, when tho most important interests weie depeudent upon the momentous ques tion, whether monopolising capital or the people should rule. It would have been wortu millions to get Jackson out of the way, bqt the gallant old chief completely cowed his assailant by bis indomitable nerve, aud aimost in a second, disarmed uin, and handed him over to the police. The •light est lack of firmness ou his part might have sealed his late. Wilkes’ Spirit argues that President John so i was laboring under tho effects of poisoc on the 4th ot Murch last, and quotes as ovi« dence ot it tho passage iu the letter of in structions to the assassins,- which said they “ were at liberty to Uso the blade, the pistol or the bowl, but they must bear in mind tka latter had once tailed.” It has been already discovered that the plot was to nave been carried out on the 4th ol'March,'aud that Booth was ou hand near the QupitoL but foi some reason (perhaps the tkilure to kill John* son) the scheme miscarried. There may in scum truth in all this speculation. HOTEL, ARRIVALS. PULASKI HOUSE, MAY U, 18611. 0 D Bradshaw, Capt 24thWm Cantwell, HiltonHoad Iswa.
