BI TV AND POLICY OP THE SOCTII KH X PEOPLE. That the war is finished Ims become a set tled fact. The powerful organization which under the name of the “Confederate States of America." defied the national authority, which set up a mock government, which raised and equipped large armies, which conducted a gigantic insurrection during four ioog years, is broken up and become a thing of the past. The territory which it assumed to hold has been regained ; its fortifications and iis cities are garrisoned by the national forces. Its military leaders have surrendered themselves, and its armies are scattered to the winds. The civil officers of the would be nationality are under arrest and are un doubtedly to be tried and punished for treason. The truth and the force of these facts no one pretends to question. No rational mind can longer cliug to a belief that a renewal of the struggle is possible, even if desirable. Is it not wisdom theD to lay aside all feeling, even, of animosity toward the government which i9 as powerful as it is beneficient in its intentions? The poignancy of the defeat in arms, and the apprehension of oppressive treatment at the hands of the triumphant government, are but natural, and can only be dispelled with the elapse of time. But there is another, an unnatural and more dangerous feeling. It is the feeling of an tagonism between the Northern and the Southern sections of the country, of an in compatibility of interest, and institutions, of thought and feeling, which the evil minded in stigators of the rebellion were ever seeking to stir up iu the minds of the people, and which they succeeded but too well in tanning into the destructive flames of war. It is this feel ing which the people of the South have now to conquer. That it is groundless it beliooves them to permit themselves to be taught under the rule of a government which they can neither subvert nor withdraw from. Their concurrence and fraternization iu it are invi ted; their respect and obedieuce can be com pelled, as the war demonstrates. Shall not then that idle sentiment, which embarrasses affairs, and delays the return of happiness to this people, be buried and forgotten ? THE CUSTOM HOUSE OPENED. It will be seen from the lollowing Circular Issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, that the special aud local Agents of the Treasury have been invited to act as Offi cers of the cu 3toms: Circular. To the several Special and Local Agents of the Treasury Department, heretofore appoint ed uuder the Regulations concerning res tricted commercial intercomse in insurrec tionary States.

Market Restaurant.— A few people in Savannah are obliged tet be up all night in the discharge of their duties, aud many more, from inclination or necessity, rise very early. To the all-night toiler, or those who rise with the lark, there is nothing more refreshing, for an innocent matutinal stimulant, than a cup of hot coffee, well made from the genuine material. Mr. Samuel Jones, who has the largest of the Market Restaurauts, opens h>s place at day light, provides the best of cof fee for coffee-drinkers, and good breakfasts for early breaktasters. His place may be known by the marble table; the fly-banishing fans, and its general inviting appearance. Savannah Theatre—Benefit of Mrs. M. L. Berrei.l —This estimable lady and ad mirable actress will make her first appeal to the Suvanuah public this evening. Mrs. Berrell has especial claims upon the theatre goiug community, as she has been at all times scrupulously correct in her delinea tions aud has been indeed one of the main stays of the Theatre. She has lieen inde fatigable in her exertions, aud fully merits a hearty recognition at the hands of all lovers ot the dramatic art. Iu addition to her personal claims she presents an excellent bill consisting of three capital pieces, viz : The comedy of The Dead Shot, the scream ing farce ol the Young Witty w and the im mortal Toodles. Such a bill in itself should, and doubtless will, secure a crowded house- Dkf.ss Parade of tiie 6th Regulars.— A dress parade of the 6th U. S. Infantry Regiment took place yesterday afternoon in Chippewa Square. Avery large concourse assembled to witness the review, wiio elicit ed the attention of all spectators at the astonishing perfection of the discipline and personal neatness of the corps.

The l nita Italians, the organ of Mazzini, appeared on the ?ttth April with black bor der on the occasion of President Lincoln’s I death. [COJUICNIOAI tJB.j HOW TO DEAD WITH THAtTOttS. Not all who have been engaged in the late rebellion are really traitors. Perhaps a few more than a thousand powerful, iufluential, aristocratic, leading men constituted the re bellion ; the great masses of the people were not at heart rebels, but the dupes of politi cal demagogues and praying parsons who turned insurrection into religion. Those Bomhastes Furiosos, like Roliert Hamilton Toomlis, who was “going to quar ter his slaves on Boston Common, and call their roll from Bunker Hill, and drink all the blood secession caused to flow," should be put lieyond the power of evil for the future. Buch men, living or dead, should not dis grace longer the soil of the United States. A lew hundred such as these testiug the strength of hemp-rope, orj banished, forbid den to return under penalty of death, and a few thousand more minor agents who barked as the big dogs growled, crippled by confis cation and disfranchisement, the future of the Nation is safe. It is remarked that it would be impolitic to hang these meu—that thereby they will be made martyrs. Henry A. Wise was Governor of Virginia in 185!), and set an example for dealing with conspirators. John Brown, a crazy old man, huruiug under real wrongs, inflicted on him in Kansas, with a few Quaker boys and old shot guns, got up a little insurrection, in Virginia, a little rebellion on his own hook. A small fight ensued, in which “no body was hurt" and John Brown was captured. The Governor was npt at home at the time, but sajd ‘ ‘if he only had been, he would have proclaimed martial law, and given them no quaiter, and if any had survived he would have tried and executed them under sentence of Court Martial," but as they were made prisoners, he afforded them a trial and Brown was sentenced to be hung. Wise was ap pealed to, to pardon or commute the punish ment. What was hi 9 reply ? “He shall be executed as the law sentences him, and his body shall be delivered over to surgeons and await the resurection without a grave on our soil. I have shown him all the mercy hu manity can claim.’’ It was said to him, that by exeentiug him he would make a martyr of him. His reply wasj: “If so, it shows the necessity of bang ing him." Old John Brown was hung for treason, aud the verdict of the nation was, that it was right. If right in his case, what shall be done with Wise and his associates? Outol his own month shall they he eoudemned, and the same laws that hung old John Brown and his Quaker hoys will hang Wise and his associates in the conspiracy against the United States, and which culminated in the murder of the President. Justice. Theatrical Wardrobe Stolen.—Yester day afternoon, the private room of Mr. A. H. Davenport, the favorite actor, was enter ed arul the largest and most valuable portion of his stage wardrobe stolen and carried off, his trunks being completely rifled.—Mrs. Davenport; lives at the house of Mr. Kelly, corner ot Jefferson and Liberty streets,—and the act was perpetrated in full daylight, in the boldest mauuer. Should the police not succeed in discovering any of the missing property, Mr. Davenport’s loss will amount to about SBOO. This is not only a heavy loss to a young artist, but will prove a serious in convenience to the Theatre. We sincerely hope the thief may be overhauled before he has an opportunity to “strut his brief hour” iq his stolen finery. CHATHAM ARTILLERY OP SAVANNAH. By the steamer Amazon, acting Ensign T. E. Lawton in command, from Augusta on Saturday afternoon last, with paroled pris oners of Johnston’s and Lee’s armies, arrived a large number of the Chatham Artillery of Savannah. This corps was the oldest volun teer organization of citizen soldiers in the Southern States before the war, and the second oldest in the United States. For the benefit of friends of the corps, we giye the following list of those who have returned home: Capt. John F. Wheaton, T. H. Lyon, F. H. Miller, Alonzo M. West, Thomas Dunn, Michael Kelly, Win, Graven, M. McAvadee, F. L. Gue, Gen. B. Clark, W. C. Clark, .T. H. Bowman, J W. McDonald, R. F. Baker, J. W. Melntire, Wm. B. Wylly, E. D. Macou, W. M.

Robb, Purchasing Agent of the Treasury Department, which we prom ised to give this morning, will be found in our advertising columns. We have not space to speak of it this morning as we wish.

A temporary beacon light has bsen erected east of the old beacon, it is a frame structure hav ing an elevaliou ot about thirty feet from high water mark ; a clear white light is dis played from this beacon and mariners can with safety come cross Tybee Bar and into secure anchorage. Prior to the war, the goverment had so» keeper of Tybee and the Beacon lights 4 an excellent dwelling, and and outbuildings; the dwelling has been much damaged, and at the present time is used for a blasksraiths shop. A large amount of wood is cut on the Island for the use of the garrison of Fort Pulaski. Tybee or the Big-light as it is termed, when Col. C. C. Wilson of the Rebel Army, and his command evacuated the Island, was des troyed by them. The interior of the build ing was filled with wood and other combus tible material and then fired, with the result of burning out all the wood work of the interior, while its walls were expanded by the heat and badly cracked, rendering the building almost useless for the future in its present shape; however, by cutting down its top wall fifteen or twenty feet, it will an swer for the purpose for which it was built until the Government is prepared to thorough ly rebuild. Agricultural pursuits are followed on the Island, a farm is in operation; cotton, corn, etc. are planted aud the prospect of a re munerative crop is excellent. SAVANNAH MARKET PRICES.
