By a despatch train our correspondent at Hilton Head, we learn that the capture of Jeff. Davis was announced on Sunday morn ing hist, iu an official despatch signed by Se cretary Stanton, and published iu the VVash ingtorf Chronicle. The Hospital Steamer, Gen. J. K. Barnes, Surgeou Johu Stark iu charge, left Alexan- Ya., on the moruiug of the 14th lust., but no pajiers of that dute could be ob tained. 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.

FROM AUGUSTA. Interesting Account of Affairs in Augusta. THE CHOPS AND THE NECiROES THE ARREST OF DAVIS*-THE SPECIE TARES ArreHt ol* Governor Drown. <&c., &c., &c. [«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.

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. HOTEL ARRIVALS. PORT ROYAL HOTEL, (HILTON HEAD,) MAY IC. J C Miller, Va.
