The German Titrnv kreim Association of
Savannah —During the year 1856, the anti
slavery element having entered largely into
the brotherhood of Turners of the Northern
States the associations at Charleston, Sa
vaunah, Augusta, Maeon and other places
were compelled to withdraw from the Gen
eral Diet of the United States. This with
drawal was an act of necessity at the time,
lor had the societies remained with the diet,
aud seut their delegates, as was their cus
custom, to the annual meeting, every mem
ber of the associations would have become
known as abolitionists, and at the first oppor
tunity would have beeu treated with a coat
of tar aud feathers.
The Savannah Turnverein desiring again
to be represented at the General Diet, Mr.
Kolb was sent as a delegate to their last an
nual meeting. The Diet met at Washington
D. C., on April 3d, 1805. One hundred and
eight associations were represented by forty
delegates. Mr. Kolb was gladly received by
his brother delegates, aud the Savannah
Turnverin was the first of the erring broth
erhoods whose allegiance the Diet received.
The Savannah Turnverin will never again
separate from the General Diet, for the ob
stacle to complete sympathy and oneness of
feeling North and South no longer exists.

[«FXCUL DESPATCH TO THE SAVANNAH DAILY UESAI.D.]
Acousta, Ga., May 15.
A Trip Across South Carolina.
I arrived here on Sunday evening, having
come on the Jeff Davis to Chocola Pass,
above the Sisters’ Ferry, and thence by
horse across South Carolina, ninety-three
miles, to Augusta. Our party consisted of
Major Geo. E. Gourud, of Gen. Gillmore’s
Statf,' on important official business : Sur
geou Provost, 159th N. Y. Vols. ; Ai,\ Phil
lips, a gentleman who was formerly in
Wheeler’s Cavalry as a scout, but is now
paroled, whose company was both very use
ful and very agreeable ; two orderlies aud
myself. Although our route was marked a
good portion of the way by the ruins of
plantation houses, showing Sherman’s track,
and although wo were constantly meeting
bauds of Confederate soldiers, returning to
their homes, many of them armed, we had
not even an offensive word spoken to us.
9 Crops.
Nearly all the planters have get in large
amounts of seed, mostly corn, rye aud veg
etables. Some have planted cotton —the
first crop for four years. But few of the
slaves have skedaddled. In coming up the
river, on the Jeff Davis, we picked up two
runaways from plantations in the western
part of Barnwell District. Ope left because
lie bad been whipped and promised a severer
whipping, all for nothing. The other was
too old to be worth, much or know much.
He said he was well-used, though often
whipped nearly to death, and that he wasn't
hungry at all, though he hadn't tasted food
for over two weeks. He said he started last
year and had lived on a hoe-cake ever since,
and that a small piece of an alligator or even
some mush would be an accommodation to
him. They were allowed to go on to
Savannah.
The Arrest of Davis.
Great excitement prevailed here when Jeff
Davis aud his party passed through as
prisoners, although their presence was not
discovered till just before their embarkation
for Savannah, in the Stamlish, and General
Molineux’s precautions prevented any dis
turbance. Many of the ladies held their
handkerchiefs to their eyes in token of grief,
and many of the confederate officers and
soldiers expressed their mortification at the
capture. The soldiers, however, are quite
disgusted that lie should be so stupid as to
attempt to escape through a country <sccu
pied by the enemy, with as large a train of
wagons as is usually allowed to a division,
and mortified that he should be captured iu
woman’s clothes, trying to pass himself off
for somebody 's mother. The few thoroughly
Union men rejoiced at this eveut as one of
the most gratifying feats of the war.
Thc Specie Taken.
Mr. Davis had no specie with him. He 6aya
he started with ten thousand dollars, but was
robbed by soldiers. A wajpi which was found
in a by-way, containing ft 88,000, and $55,000
belonging to the Confederate Government,
has been, found in possession of vatious parties
in the city, and handed over. It is now in
Gen. Molineux’s custody.
The Arrest of Gov. Brown.
Some days ago a portion of Wilson’s com
mand arrested Gov. Brown, at Milledgeville,
by orders from Washiogtou, and the Legisla
ture is forbidden to assemble.
Serenade.
Major Gen. Upton is in town, on special
duty. Last night he was serenaded at the
Planter's Hotel by a band from Gen. Wash
burn’s command.
Telegraphic Communication.
Is now open to Washington, but the line is
not used except for official purposes.
Mr. N. S. Morse,
Os the Sentinel, still runs his paper, in spite
of the opposition of all the bitterest Confed
federates, and it probably has the largest cir
culation of any paper in the South.
Sympathy from Germany.
. W ASniXQTON, May 0.
The State Department has received the
following translation of an extract from the
proceedings of the legislative body of the
republic ot Bremen:
Stcssiox or tuh Leoisutive Body.)
Wednesday, April U», 18(55. >
At the opening of the session the President,
Judge P. A. Meyer, addressed the Assembly
in ttie following words :
Before we begin to transact our regular
business, let us remember the joyful and
most, important news which lias' arrived
within the last few days from the other side
of the Atlantic Ocean. Let us remember
and enjoy the great victory won by the
armies of the Union over the rebellion ofthe
slaveholders. Bremen is, aud always has
been, in the most intimate connection with
the United Stabs. Many of our sons are
fighting in the ranks of the Federal army,
aud the men of free labor, and the Germans,
have shown that persistency and valor must
finally conquer vic»ory even over the infuri
ated struggling elemeuts of the enemy.—
Gentlemen, let us show our sympathy witli
the American Union by rising from our
seats.
The entire assembly then rose and gave
Uuee enthusiastic cheers for the victory of
the just cause.

CHARLESTON NEWS.
From the Interior of the State.
TCcfftrepondence of the Courier, 15th Inst ]
Summbbvim.e, 8. G\. May 10, 1865.
Editor of tlm Courier: —The re-opening of
the South Carolina Railroad has been so anx
iously expected by citizens here and in
Charleston timt it seems almost a duty to
record and publish the joyful fact. It is the
more pleasing because it is an evidence of
peace.
Fox's men left Inst week, aud this week
the cars are running trora Charleston undis
turbed. General Ilartwell's brigade arrived
here yesterday. His headquarter's are at
the hotel building. It is said that the 55th
Regiment Mass. Yds. came up to Bacon’s
Bridge, on the South side of the Ashley
river, and there joined the 54tli N. Y. Yet.
Vols, the 25th Ohio Yois, and the l()2d U.
S. C. T. Tlrc-ir marching through the town
was a great novelty, and the music was es
pecially enjoyed by the citizens.
The health of the town is excellent as
usual, aud the addition of the soldiers to the
population promises to give considerable life
to the place, which has been deserted by
many of our prominent citizens'.
The strangest rumors have prevailed rela
tive to the outer*jworld—for even Charleston
ba9 been almost a foreign land—so complete
ly has this place been cut off from it. It was
stated and believed that nine hundred ne
groes had been transported from Charleston
for conspiracy. Another rumor was that
transactions iu which “Confederate money’’
was used were to be declared void, and it
trives much disappointment to learn that the
United States have not authorized such a
disposition of the now useless money.
No citizens’s property is allowed to be ap
propriated by soldiers, and it is expected
that all the rights of citizens will be main
tained. The kindest feeling exists be
tween the old and the new inhabi
tants.
With the prospect of daily communication
with Charleston and the rest of the world,
and the assurance that the victorious army
now possessing the land will generously act
the part of friends instead of implacable
toes, this people think they have reason to
be happy. May the Courier frequently tell
favorably of its other readers.
False Delicacy.
The friends of those who are troubled with bad*
breath, and, through over-sqneamishness, dislike to
refer to it, commit a positive and cruel mistake, espe
cially if they are aware of the merits and great efficacy
of the Fragrant Sozodont. This is the true and only
remedy for the difficulty ; there is no valid excuse for
a bad breath now.
