THE SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN,
We have published in these columns from
time to time, articles giving clear expositions
of the working of that admirable financial
scheme, the 7-30 loan to the United States,
showing how it acts equally advantageously
for the benefit of the Govemnfent an«l for pri
vate, interest. : But no more conclusive proof
of its possessing all the advantages claimed for
it could be offered than the fact of its im
mense popularity as an investment among
the people and the capitalists of all countries.
The figures of the daily reports of Mr. Jay
Cooke, the agent of the loan, show the most
surprising avidity with which it is seized
upon bv business men of all classes. The.
subscriptions to the Seven thirty loan from
f.ll parts of the Union for one day (May 12th)
amounted to $13,7(12,300. Among -these
were 0,513 individual subscriptions of SSO
and SIOO each.
We are informed that an agent for the 9ale
of the loan will arrive In this city within a
short time. An opportunity will then be
offered to the citizens of this community of
however small means, to make a profitable
investment for themselves, and to testify at
the same time their loyalty nm\ good will to
the government in a practical way.
THE PIC NIC YESTERDAY
About seventy-five ladies and gentlemen
went yesterday to White Bluff for a day s
pleasure. There were over fifty ladies in the
party, all of whom are well known in the
highest social circles of Savannah. Os the
gentlemen, about two-thirds were officers,
among whom were Capt, Starr, Capt. Lord,
Major Fleming, Col. Healey, Doct. Bowles,
and many other prominent officers, together
with a number of well-known civilians.
The fine Brass and String Band of the 9th
Connecticut Regiment was of the party, and
discoursed 90me most excellent music.
The guests started about half pa9t nine
o’clock, and four ambulances' and some half
a dozen or more private carriages sufficed to
convey the party to the ground, which wn9
reached at 11, a. in. *
After a promenade, and a very general ad
miring of the many beauties 9!' the place, a
bountiful dinuer was served up under the su
pervision of Mrs. Laßocho and Mrs. Cub
bage, iu the house ot Mr. Isaac Laßoche,
who has a beautiful homsstead at thst point.
Dinner over, the company broke up into
little parties, when bathing, fishing, sailing,
rowing and promenading became for several
hours the order of the day.
About 2,Jp m the party reassembled, and the
parlors and other rooms of Mrs.Laßriche were
called Into requisition as dancing floors, and
this amusement was kept up in the most
lively manner for several hours, until it was
announced that “Chowder is Ready.” Here
then succeeded a rush to the grove of Live
Oaks which adorns the edge of the rive-,
where, on the grass under the shade treis
was served a most excellent and bounteoQs
Clam Chowder. By the time full and ample
Justice had been done to this part of the en
tertainment dancing was no longer among
the possibilities, and preparations wet-e made
for a return to the city, which was reached
jibout eight o’clock in the evening,
To say that the party had a good time, Is
Only to re-echo the Individual opinion of each
and every memberof the company, for all agree
that never did a day's pleasure produce more
of genuine enjoyment to those fortunate
enough to be of the guests. *
Special thank 9 are due to Col. Healy and
the members of the Band—to Col. Presbee
and Mr. Smytb, for a large stocky of liquid
refreshments, which were universally pro
nounced to be. of the best quality, • and Mrs.
La Roche, Mrs. Cubbage and the iadie3 one
and all. j
We understand a repetition of tlieplc-nician
dose is speedily contemplated. ‘ '
Dr. W.M. Walsh advertises iu our paper an
immense stock of Druggist’s, f Apothecaries’,
Fancy aad other Goods, at the corner of Bar
nard and Broughton streets. Dr. Walsh is
an experienced Apothecary, as well as Medi
ealand Surgical practitioner, and adds to a
University education the important knowl
edge which is only to be gained in the pro
fessional labors for which it is merely Jwepar
otoiy. We speak of him whh the confidence
of an old acquaintance, knowing him for many
years as a Druggist of high repute, a skillful
Physician aud burgeon, a gentleman of cul
ture- and a kind-hearted man, who has hosts
of friends wherever he has been. ’ With his
city experience he has bad the advantage of
practice in t te Army, nnd for three years he
has been proprietor of the only drugstore
at Hilfon Head, the headquarters of tne De
partment. A perusal of his list of goods
will be advantageous to readers of the
HRi&i.'D, for he imports in large quantities,
uufl can afford to job or retail at low prices
TfeeJiat, it will be seen, Is Very
. bat does not by any means embrace all the
articles .his stock comprises.

ARRIVAL OF TOE STEMfEIt SiYAWAH.
Raurn of Major Gen. Grover and Staff.
Detailed Account of the Capture
of less. Davis.
By the arrival of the “tin-clad” Savannah
yesterday, from Augusta, ou the afternoon of
the 17th, we have despatches and files of pa
pers to that date.
M.ij. Gen. C. Grover returned by the 8 ivan
nab, together with Lt. Col. York, Provost Mar
shal, Capt. O. Mathews, A. A G., Captain
Dana and Lieut. Webster, ot bis staff. Major
George E Gouraud, of Gen. Gill more’s staff;
who went up overland, with despatches, also
returned by this boat, aud has proceeded to
Hilton Head.
Despatch from our Special Correspondent.
A colara. May 17, 3 1-2, P. M.
Lieut. Col. York, Provost Marshal ou Gen.
Grover’s staff, has had turned over to him,
and will take to Savannah to and iv, $2-43,000
of gold and silver, seized a9 property of the
Confederate government. SIBB,OOO w r as ta
ken from a Confederate baggage wagon,
tound in aby road, and the balance was ta
ken from various parties *who had it in trust
but acknowledged that it belonged to the
Confederate government. Col. York will
also take some millions of dollars in Confed
erate bonds and currency, enough to start a
small paper mill.
judge Parsons of Gen. Grover’s staff, will
remain here to attend to several important
cases, requiring immediate adjudication. His
absence will be felt In Savannah, but we need
him here at present.
Silver is plenty on the streets, for change,
and greenbacks are at par. There is a scarci
ty of small change, and if some shrewd one
will only bring up his carpet bag full of fives
and tens in postal currency, I think he can
easily dispose of them at par for silver half
dollars.
The Constitutionalist has been revived, and
the irrepressible Morse, proprietor of the
Chronicle uud Sentinel, has also got another
competitor iu the shape of the Transcript, a
new evening paper.
Gen. Molineux still commands the city, and
his measures are not complained of by any
reasonable people. He has been brevetted
for gallantry iu the field, and now is winning
much praise for his ability iu a civil capacity.
Ttie Capture of Hr. Davis.
From the,Macon Telegraph we give a some
what detailed account of the capture of the
arch traitor and his immediate escort. It
will lie observed that this report says nothing
of Davis putting on his wife’s clothes and
attempting to escape in that disguise.
When the terms of armistice agreed upon by
Gen. Sherman and Gen. Johnston were com
municated to Mr. Davis, and all hope of fur
ther resistance on this side of the Mississippi
tbU3 vanished, be determined to escape to
Texas. W hat were his intentions after arriv
ing there are not known to any one save his
confidential advisers.
A strung cavalry escort, .consisting of Fer
guses, Vaughan’s, Duke’s and "’Breckin
ridge’s brigades were selected to accompany
anti protect Mr. Davis and his family, and
immediate personal friends in their flight. '
The whole party, consisting of Mr? Davis
John H. Reagan, Ex-Gov. Lubbock, of Tex
as, A. D. C, Burton N. Harrison, Private
Secretary to Mr. Davis, Col. Win. Preston
Johnston, and the brigades above mentioned
arrived at Abbeville, South Carolina, on the
27th of April, without any particular inci
dent having occurred along the route.
When Mr. Davis arrived at. Abbeville, he
I discovered that there was universal disaffec
tion among his escort, and that they were
determined to make no resistance in the
event they were attacked; no matter how
small or great the attacking force might be.
But little or uo effort was made to induce
them to follow the fortunes of their leader
farther. They all chose to remain behind
except six Kentuckians, of Duke’s brigade’
who remniat and with him.
The following are the names of the soldiers
who refused to leave Mr. Davis. They all
belonged to the second Kentucky cavairv •
Lieut. Baker, privates Sanders, Smith, Heat h
Walbert and Harkness.
Mr. Davis had several days before leaving
Charlotte, sent off his family, consisting of
his lady aud four little children. They were
accompanied by his wife’s sister, Miss How
ell, of New Orleans, and her brother, Mid
shipman Howell, Lt. Hathaway, and one or
two other individuals.
Mr. Davis arrived at Washington, Ga., on
the 4th lust., and found that only eight men
of his escort came up with him ; and to still
further aggravate the case unpleasant rumors
reached him ot the probabilities of an attack
upon his family, who were one day yet in ad
vance, by gutriillas. Passing through Wash
ington, lie took the Sandersville road, almost
due south, but for certain reasons left that
village to the right.
Ai Ii wiu s Ci oss Roads iu Washington
county, a baud of desperadoes made a de-
monstration upon the ‘carriages nnd ambu
lances containing Mr. Davis’ family, and
again at Dublin, but after -hearing who the
occupants were, and being assured they
could not rob the party without first shedding
blood, they desisted and drew off. At
Dubliu they amounted to at least fbirty meu,
and consisted of deserters from both the
Federal nnd Confederate armies, banded
together for the purpose of highway robbe
ry
Mr. Davis had at midnight on the 6th,
overtaken and rejoined his family, six miles
north of Dublin, nnd just before the and« 9pera
does organized there intending to make the
attack. He, however, passed them unmo
lested.
Leaving Dublin, or the camp in the woods
near that little village, on the morning of the
<tn, the whole party travelled leisurely
1 . tlj ey reached the Ocmulgec river
|at Abbeville, Wilcox county, ea the nth.
But before reaching there Mr. Davis had
again separated from his family, retaining
only a few persons with him. His lady
crossed before him, but coining up on the
same night he was recognized by the ferry
man. who made haste to tell bis* pursuer-*
few hours afterwards, whom he had set
across the stream.
At Abbeville the parly learned from citi
zens that the Federal cavalry were at Hawk
insviile, and at midnight left their encamp
ment and took the Irvinville road. Arriving
within one mile of that place at a kte hour
in the afternoon, they went into camp, from
which they were destined to leave as pris
oners.
When Gen. WUsou received orders trom
Washington to take measures to arrest, if
possible, Mr. JDavis, Lt. Cos!. Pritchard, of the
4th Michigan, in command of one hundred
and fifty men of his own regiment, and
perhaps fifty of the 2d Wisconsin, were
despatched down the Ocmuigee to watch the
crossings.
Going directly to Hawkinsville, informa
tion was there received through unknown
agencies that Mr. Davis would cross, or had
crossed, at Abbeville. Going to that ferry,
the ferryman at once offered to bet SIOO,OOO
that he had set Jeff. Davis and his family
over the river. Such was indeed the tact,
and from tlieuce to their encampment was a
straight and smooth road.
Mr. Davis had posted two videttes respec
tively ou the Hawrkinsville and the Abbeville
roads, but from utter exhaustion they slept
instead of watching, and were either cap
tured or passed by before they were aroused.
Asa consequence, Col. Pritchard’s advance
came up to the very camp without being ob
served. The 2d Wisconsin made a detour
and gained the road in advance, whilst the
4th Michigan came directly up to the camp,
whose inmates were ail sleeping.
To Col. Pritchard’s gallantry, be it said, he
let them slumber until
“Grey-eyed morn,
With one bright star upon her forehead hung.
Stood blushing in the Orient;
And twittering birds came forth
To carol out the day."
Then giving the signal, the 4th Wisconsin
charged into the camp, and captured all its
inmates. Col. Johnston and one or two ser
vants were aloue awake at the time. They
at first thought that they had been attacked
by the guerrillas, but the truth soon became
kuown that they had fallen into other hands.
Leaving a guard over Mr. Davis, his fami
ly aud escort, the remainder of the 4th
Michigau, supposing that a large force of
Confederate cavalry must be on ahead, went
forward to attack them. At a short distance
they met the advance of the 2d Wisconsin,
ana firiug at once commenced. Many vol
leys were exchanged, Mr. Davis assuring
the men that they were killing one another,
and that he had no men out upon that road.
After the firing ceased, it was ascertained
that four meu of the 2d Wisconsin were
killed aud two wounded, and that of the 4th
Michigan, two were killed and two were
wounded, among whom was an officer.
An official despatch was forwarded that
morning, the 10th day of May, back lo
Macon, containing a brief ajcouut of the ex
pedition and its results, and announcing that
as the capture took place seventy five miles
from the city it would take three days to en
ter the city.
Nothing worthy of note occurred on the
road from Irvinville to Macon. Mr. Davis
and his family were treated with the utmost
civility by their captors, and many tokens of
affection and esteem were shown them by
the people along the road.
We also append Lt. Col. Pritchard s official
report of the capture, to his immediate supe
rior officer:

TRIAL OF CONGRESSMAN HARRIS FOR DIS
LOYALTY.
Evident* Against the Prisoner-Ills Defence.
Congressman Harris, it will be remember
ed, is accused rtf harboring rebel soldiers,
giving them money, and advising themxto
disregard their parole and return to the rebel
armies and again fight against the United
States.
The trial occupied several days, the
last witness being Gen. Sharpe, who under
took to prove that the names of the two
rebels whom Congressman Harris is accused
of harboring (Chapman aud Read), were c»
the rolls of Corse’s brigade, Pickett s divis
ion, which were turned over and paroled.
After much debate, the duplicate iolls were
admitted as evidence, and it seemed held to
be proved that the men were really paroled
prisoners of war. According to their Own
statements, the men were tampered with by
the prisoner, who gave them money and sent
them to a house to be taken care of.
Mr. Harris the* proceeded to read his de
fence lo the Court, stating that he was iu no
way connected with the land or naval forces
of the United States, and that he had not
committed any offence. He had not harbor
ed the prisoners, and it had been proven that
they did not lodge in the house In which
they stated they had. He said they had
stated to him that they were paroled prison
ers and asked for lodging. He, being ac
tuated by a desire to get lid of them, and
knowing their poverty, gave each of them $1
to pay for lodging ut the hotel, to which he
told them to return..
The defence having closed, the testimony
was read over, and after a brief deliberation
with closed doors, the Court forwarded their
judgment to the Judge Advocate General aud
adjourned slue de.
The decision will probably be published in
General Orders next week.
Robbery.— . Yesterday morning, Mr. James
Doyle, upon coming to his store, southwest
corner of Bay and Wlii’aker streets, discov
ered the front door on Whitaker street open.
Upon opening the shutters and doors, he
proceeded to search the store, and discovered
three large lumps of plug tobacco—
about 150 pounds in all—had been stolen.
A neighbor noticed the door open, but be
lieving that Mr. Doyle or his partner was in
the store, no further attention was paid to
the feet.
Last week two stores on Congress street
were entered by unknown persons, before
they were shut up for the eveningand when
the occupants closed their doors and pro
ceeded home, the concealed thieves robbed
the tills of what money they contained.
Sorry at Last.—Mrs. Sweatt who is under
acres* for complicity in the assassination, and
who, up till within a few days, has maintain
ed a most defiant and insolent demeanor, has
at last, it is said, completely melted. She
does not deny a knowledge of the crime. She
Experience greet penitence,and,it is thought
will make a full e >nfesslon.
