The Daily Herald. 8. W. Xason£ Cos., PBornreToM. SaMCKI. XV. M ABOV, Kiutob. ..'AVANNAU. SATL'KUAV, JUNE 10, 1-65. UK.VKKAL OKDCR SO 41. We beg to call tbe attention of our readers to tbe impoitaut order which we pub is h this morning, from General Woodford, regulating the sale of Liquors, Ales and Wines in the city, and notifying such persons as desire to deal in those articles, that on and alter the loth iust., they will be required to pay into the hands of the Post Treasurer, Capt. Ed - ward G. Dike, the sum ot one hundred dol lars each as a license fee. It will be observ ed that the inaiu provisions of the Order are three in number. The first oue revokes all Licenses to sell liquors, ales and wines which have been hitherto grauted, said revocation to go into effect on the 15th iust., which will tail on Thursday next. The second article provides that licenses may be issued to responsible parties ou pay ment by each of pue hundred dollars fee. Tnis permit,or license will be a printed sheet, which the seller of liquors is required to eep always exposed to public view, in a conspicuous place in his store. After speci fying tbe formalities of the application lor licence, the Order goes ou to say, that li quors will not be sold in less quantities thun by the quart, and even that not to be drau k ou the premises of the seller—aud that no li quor is uuder any circumstances to be sold to enlisted men of the Army or Navy. The concluding important clause holds Pro prietors responsible for the proper conduct of their Employees, aud desiguates the pen alties to be iufiicted on those who transgress the laws and regulations. To remark that these rules are emiucutly correct aud judicious is to say simply and the simplest way the truth. In spite of all previously existing regulations it has so happened that the privilege of dealing in the semi contraband articles of Ales, Wines and Liquors has in more than one instance fallen into improper hands. By the reprehensible actions of these improper persons, who re sorted to indiscriminate sales of their intox icating wares in order to increase their gains, liquors have fouud their way into the bauds of persons who abused rather than used them; and, in more cases than one, viola tions ot the public peace, auu eveu graver offences have resulted therefrom. There are not lacking iustances within the last three months, where larcenies have been commit ted, highway robberies perpetrated, aud it is even said that two or more of the recent shooting affairs, resulting in more than one instance, in the immediate death of one or moremeu, have been solely due to tbe intox ication of some of tbe implicated parties. Os course, iu view ot such a state of tacts, an order like tbe one to which we refer, can be productive of nothing but good. Not only will this most productive source of past trouble be thoroughly blocked up, aud en tirely cut off from the reach ot those who did the mischief, but the traffic in liquors of all kinds, whether mild or fiery, is hereby made to pay a handsome contribution to the Post Fund. Those who elect to pay the license and continue their dealings, are also made to give souud and substantial security for tbe good conduct ol themselves aud all employed by them. lu tact, by this order, we consider that the future peace aud quiet of the city are, to a gieat measure assured; the safety |of late night pedestrians guaranteed; the public fund for the benefit of the poor, sick and needy largely augmented, and the excellent judgment of our new city Executive thor oughly demonstrated. PBIAI'KRS' TAI.K. The Hospital Transcript, anew and smart little paper published at Hilton Head, in speaking of a very clever tellow, who is the foreniau of our office, says : “John M. Harrison of Savannah, is Presi dent of the Savannah Typographical Union. Strange things have taken place, Joliu, since we worked together in Savannah, twelve years ago.” In reply our friend has to say: Our friend of the Transcript is at some of his old tricks—“a fellow of infinite lest”— never out of “sorts"— with more mirth in him than harm. “Strange things,” indeed, Mack, have transpired since the time you iueution, else why does your name figure so prominently at the heud of the Transcript— have “old clothes riz?” and is there now less demand tor “gew gaws’ than at the time we wot of? But enough—success attend you in your “new" enterprise. . DEPARTURE OK BIU. VET MaJOR GkN. C. Grover. —This officer who for several months commanded the District and Post of Savannah, departed yesterday afternoon on the steamer Sylph, Capt. French eu route for New York per steamship Fulton. General Grover is accompanied by the following of Ioh!fw : rV apt oliv4!r Mathews, A. A. G., A n'r V UUa ’ £ D c -’ Lieut. T. 0. Otis! A- D. C, LientE. B. Webster, A. D. C. In A Low Conditio*.—W. J. Wells, (re I*o Company E, 28th Georgia Battalion, so says the Hilton Head Hospital Transcript, arrived a short lane since, from Wilmingtou, “ m * ,ow condition of health. He was suffering ftom chronic diarrhoea. Mr W was properly cared lor by the U 3. authoriti Z l NJON MtETJNU JN TuOMASVILLE, Ga 111 our afternoon edition we shall present to our readers the full proceedings of a Union meet ing held at Thomasville, on the 27th day of Srd'iast a BUbSCQUtnt meeling held on the The AfLANTtf cable. The mishap which five years ago destroy ed oui hope of immediate instantaneous com munication with our trans-Atlantic friends is iu a way to be seedily repaired. Operations have been prosecuted most vigorously by the U..-W stock company who have constructed an eutirely uew Cable, not using the first foot of the former oue, of which several huudred miles were saved. The Great Eastern is, it seems, the ship to be used for the purpose of laying the Cable. It is to be all stowed *>u board this single immense vessel, aud not ou two ships, as it was ou tbe first attempt. We certainly and sincerely trust that the Great Eastern may be as tborougly success ful iu her new undertaking as she has been disastrously unfortunate ever heretofore. We believe that she never made but a single trip that amounted to anything, and that was when she took for tbe British Government one thousand soldiers, with ail their batteries, their battery, cavalry and train horses, their arms, ammunition and provisions to ihe Crimea. For la k ot a smart Yankee to manage her, all her exhibition trips weie pecuniary fail ures, aud for six long years she proved noth iug but a tremendous sinking fund for all tbe money that was invested iu her. As there is now a live Yaukee at the head of tbe Cable enterprise, and at tbe helm of the steamer, (Mr. Uyrus W. Field,) there seem to be good grounds for anticipating tbe success this time of both speculations. With regard to the cable, _a letter from Mr. Geo. Seward, Secretary of the Cable Com pany, to Mr. Wilson G. Hunt, dated London, March 25, says: "In reply to the memorandum dated the 25th February, aud signed by yourself and other American gentlemen, recommending to the London Board the engagement of Captain James Anderson, of the steamer China, as tbe commander of tbe Great Eas tern, lam requested to state that the Direc tois iu London entirely coincide with their colleague iu America upon this subject; and it will be interesting to gentlemen on your side—as confirming their judgment—to know that it had already been decided here, before knowing that any view in favor of Captain Auderson was entertained iu New \ork, that be was the most proper person for tbe office, and the permission of Sir Samuel Cuuard bad been asked iu order to allow of au offer being made to Captain Anderson. “It has uow been arranged that Captain Andersou shall tdke charge of the Great Eastern immediately after his re-arrival iu England with the China, on the 2d May. “\ou will be pleased to know that by tbe time you receive this, upwards of one thou sand eight hundred miles of our cable will have been completed in a perfect state, and ot a quality iu every respect vastly superior to auy cable that has ever yet beeu manu factured. “We shall take to sea two thousand three hundred miles altogether. The remainder is being made at the rate of eighty miles per week. “About one thousaud miles are coiled aboard the Great Eastern, and we expect that by the end of May the whole will be com pleted and on board, so that by the third week iu June the machinery and every appliance for the use of the engineers may be in its place and ready for sailing ; and in a month from that time I trust you may learn that our two great uatious are permanently united by the electric wire.” The total length of the Atlantic cable made up to close of work Fridaly night April 7th, was 1.993 nautical miles, and of this quanti ty, MOO have been shipped ou board the Amethyst and Iris tor being transferred on board the Great Eastern, at Sbeeruess. THE FUNERAL OF PRESIDENf LIN COLN. Some slight idea of the estimation in which our lamented Piesideut was held by tbe people may be gained by noticing the size of the funeral procession in the one city of New York. The following figures are given as the re sult of an actual count of the people : First Division and Military io 155 Second Division, 2119 Third Division : 3 556 Fourth Division «’or,o Fifth Division 3’^ Sixth Division 3 185 Seventh Division 2 491 Eight Divisiou ’7sc T° tal 31,948 This includes the different bands and drum cotps. Tbe line was three mile 9 long, and a majority of the delegations marched twenty men abreast. It was a few miuutes less than four hours passiug a given point. Deducting the various stoppages, marching time was three hours and twenty-six miuutes. A Pilot Engine preceded the funeiai train that bore the remains of President Lincoln from Albany, through the State. Mr. A. L. Whipp’e, the Telegraphic officer of the N. . C. R. R. Company, at Albany, went with the Pilot Engine, carrying a small apparatus, so that if at any time an accident or inter ruption should occur, he could detach the wires on the line, and command communi cation with any point. Struck by Liohtnt.no.— On the night of the 2d mst., a house in the Southern part of Michelville was struck by ligbtuiug. The chimney wB9 entirely demolished.

""The young lady to her waterfell—“False one, I love thee still.” DaRIEK, jtclrfTOSH COURT?! We announced yesterday the departure Os troops for Darien, comprisiug regiments of General Washburns Brigade. As Darien will, it is likely, be the headquarters of the District in which it is included, a few re marks concerning the place will not be with out interest. Darien, in Mclntosh county, is situated halt way between Savannah and St. Mary's on the north bank of the Altamaha river, about twelve miles from the sea. By means of the tributary streams of the Altamaha, tbe Ocraulgee aud Oconee, ruuuing up to Maeou aud Milledgeville a distance of several hun dred miles, it is the natural entrepot of the central regions of Georgia. Darien was at oue time a place of considerable commerce. Iu one seasou as many as fifty thousaud bales ot cotton were landed on its wharves troui up the couutry iu flat boats, which was again shipped in vessels to tbe North and to distant markets. The completion of tbe Central Railroad from Savannah to Macon deprived it of a large portion of this trade, which then came direct to this city for a market. Tne lumber trade of Da rien, however, continued to flourish and in ciease annually up to tbe commencement of tbe war. Iu the year 1800 its trade was probably larger than at any former period. There were to be seen at that time in the harbor of Darien, vessels of all classes and troin all parts of the world ; and seven or eight saw mills were kept «n constant ope ration to supply the demand. The great bridge at Chagres, we understand, was sawed and framed at one of these mills. Tbe tim ber on both banks of tbe river is almost in - exhaustible. la common with all other prosperous towns in Georgia, Darien received a severe check through the fortunes of war. We learn that in March, 18C2, the inhabitants were com pelled to evacuate the town under a military order, and in June, 1863, Col. Montgomery, with his command laid it in ashes. The Ridge, two or three miles from the site of the town, is commonly occupied for residences by tbe population during the summer months, and Is considered perfectly healthy. There are many considerations which en courage the belief that Darien will become a place of extensive lumber trade again, when permanent peace shall lie re-established in the country. The Sponge Business.— The sponge busi ness has become a promiueut department of industry in tbe Bahama Islands It is al most entirely the growth of the last twenty years, and nets annually about #20,000. The sponge is flslied and raked from tbe sandy bottom of tbe ocean at the depth of twenty, forty,or even sixty feet. It belongs to a very low order of animal life, organization hardly being detected. When first taken Iron), the water it is black, and becomes ex ceedingly offensive from decomposition It is so poisonous in this condition that it al most blisters the flesh it happens to touch. The first process is to bury it iuto tbe sand, where it remains for two weeks, in which time the gelatinous auimal matter is absorb ed aud destroyed by the insects that swarm in the sand. After being cleaned it is com pressed and packed iu bales like cotton.— Tne sponge has been applied to a variety of new purposes, aud within the past few years has quadrupled in value. An immense crowd of strangers still re muin in Washington. People from all parts ot the country have gone there to greet rela tives and friends in the grand armies just re turned fiom their fields of victory. The ho tels are densely crowded. The demand for vehicles is so great that a premium of five dollars an hour is necessary to hire a carriage ot any description. The roads to the various camps are quite choked with wagons; carria ges, and men and women on horseback. The two great sensations in the theatrical world ot Paris are Meyerbeer’s L’Africaine, the libretto of which is founded upou the story of Vasco de Gama, and anew tliree-act comedy, written by Emile de Girardin, the celebrated journalist, with the assistance of Dumas the younger. The play sets at defi auce all theatrical maxims and conventionali ties, and was completely successful It is entitled “Le Supplice and une Femme.” Die British cabinet is not yet prepared to acknowledge officially that tbe civil war is over. Hence our national vessels are not al lowed the same rights as those of other na tious. Happily the war has closed so sud deely and coupletely, that the English govern ment will soon have no sort of reason for maintaining a position of fictitious neutrali ty between assumed belligerents, Kirbv Smith’s surrender settles that question fi nally. A despatch from Cairo 111., says that trade has fairly opened with the people of Northern Alabama. Two steamers have goue below trorn Cairo, laden with merchandise for that section, which sclfe readily at satisfactory rates, money being touQd there in unexpected abundance. v Gen. Halleek has issued an order, direct ing clergymen and magistrates to encourage marriages between negroes, and to prevent as tar as possible, the oommerce of that clas9 as man and wife where the matrimonial rites have not been solemnized. Gen. Grant has it in contemplation to order a “^ U ' el ' military review in Washington, which will include tbe Ist Army Corps, un der Gen Hancock, the noble Cth Army Corps and Gen. Augur’s forces, tbe whole making a iorce ot neariy fifty thousand men. A letter from Loudon says the complete and disgraceful failure of the Times to un derstand the American question during the last tour years, or to foresee tfie issues of file war, will permanently impair its influence with men of worth and ability in England. Forty-seven millions of dollars have been provided and set apart by the Government tor the payment, as fast as possible, of the aoldiers of the Union, but especially of those about to be mustered out of tbe service. The surrender of Kirby Smith is a saving LltoD.Of , SS ,0f The Forumst Batterv. —Tbe Northenl .hT* th ® ca P ,uro 01 Forrest battery, the invention of Capt.’ John Travis, as having occurred when this city tell into the possession of the Union forces This re port is true The battery was nearly finish ed, but on the approach of the Union forces upon C oluinbus, the iuventor brought off tbe guns ou one of tbe last trains, leaving tbe carriages behind, which were destroyed! A tew days afterward Macon was threatened when Capt. Travis being tired, of running took steps to conceal bis pets. A detail from one ot the hospitals was given him, and with this » h J\.P” vate| y entombed the playthings in Rosehill Cemetery But, alas for his hones shortly after the city fell, one of the details betrayed the hiding place, aud the guns were quickly unearthed. Os their merit as a weap on ot war several officers have expressed the highest opinion, and we learn the captors are determined to take the prizes home as tro phies, notwithstanding they are iu an unfin ished condition, and probably will ever be useless as weapous until tbe desigus of the originator are peifected. Arrangements were at one time made to finish the work, but for some cause the purpose was dropped Per haps the records of the Patent Office at Wash ington may yet contain Capt. T. s plans and specifications.— Macon Te/eyraph. Nurses in Paris at Twopence an Hour.— Au old woman may be seen daily in Paris trotting along toward the Luxembourg Gardens, surrounded by fifteeu or twenty little children,aged troin two or three years up to seven or eight. Their parents pay the old lady about ten centimes an hour to take their children out, aud give them a walk or a game ot play in the gardens. It is pretty to see her convey her little regiment over a crossing it remiuds one of the old puzzle of the fox the goose, and the bag of corn. The elder children are left in charge of one side, while tbe very little ones are carried over : then one ot the oldest is beckoned across and lec tured on her care of them, while the old wo man trots back for the rest. At length they are past all dangers, and safe in tbe gardens where they may make dirt pies to their hearts’ content, while their chaperone takes out her knitting and seats herself ou a bench in their midst, Say she has fifteen children mid keeps them out for two hours, makes her a little income ot half a crown, and many a busy mother is glad that her child should have happy play and exercise while she goes a shopping or does some other piece ot housekeeping work, which would prevent her from attending properly to her child. The object of this expedition is to acquaint our pilots with European harbors, and to test tbe sea-going qualities of our marine, as well as to 9how Europe the advances we have made in naval architecture and gunnery We shall lose nothing by thus plainly exhibiting our strength, as every board of admiralty in Europe has already plans and models of eveiy gunboat we have built duriug the war There is nothing out of the way in this cruise. Before the war, we made such ex peditions frequently; but now we shall send abroad more vessels than before constituted our entire navy. The world, therefore, will get some inkling of us ; heretofore its ac quaintance with the States has beeu chiefly derived from rebel privateers. The Deer hound may come out if she chooses to see the brothers and sisters of tbe Kearsage. Admiral Go dsborough is an excellent talker, and will do the oratory for tbe Jack Tars of the West. This expedition will make an era in the his tory of the continent. The Wilkes expbring expedition is nowhere. The present will miss more than that ever discovered. Parallels to Jeff. Dwis’ Disguise. Jest. Davis’ mode of attempted escape has had its parallels, even in this country. Aaron Burr, according to Parton, was be trayed by his shoe leather while attempting to escape through tbe south to the gulf coast. His assumed dress was “the rude homespun of the country, hut the quick eye of Perkius observed that his boots were far too elegantly shaped aud of a material much too finesto ac cord with the coarse, ill-cut pantaloons from which they protruded.” Gov. Andros ot Massachusets, during the revolution in the seventeenth century brought about by bis tyrranical conduct tried to escape from tbe incensed Bostonians. Disguising himself in women’s clothes, he safely passed two sen tries, but was stopped by a third, who no ticed his shoes, whicti he had forgotten to change. Murder and Rowiery.— The Montreal Ga zette of Saturday relates that on Sunday morning a respectable fai mer ot Laprairie went to church with bis family, leaving the house and the children in charge of two servant girl 9, of the ages of twenty and twelve years. During the absence of tbe elder members of the family, about half past ten o clock, a man ot tbe name of Stanislaus Barreau, said to t>e a lieutenant in the United States army, came to the house and asked tor breakfast, which was given to him. Afterward he asked for money, and this being refused, he drew a revolver and shot the elder of the two girls and a child two months old, took possession of about five hundred dollars, set fire to the h.mse and fled. The murderer was pursued, and it was hoped lie would be caught before he reached the lines. Dramatists’ Copyright in Paris.— Out of the sixteen millions of francs spent by the Parisians duiing the year in theatres and con cert-rooms, about one-tenth went into tbe pockets of dramatists or of their representa tives, for the total amount paid on account of author’s rights is given officially as equal to #»3,C4G for Paris, not including the hmlirues Tins is rather less than the account in 1863’ The new spectacle theatre of the Chatelet heads the list nobly with 151,185f. ; then came the Comic Opera with 131.4G1 : the Theatre Fraucais, 108,743; the Lyiique, ; the Palais Royal, 100,3;>2t., and so on down to he BeaumarchmS’ which paid 7,149f., and the halt dozen or more little theatres which, together, expended on the luxury of eopyrigh ten thousand and odd francs amongst them 1 he Atlantic Telegraph. —Among recent commercial publications has been a statisU o- > ubmar ‘ ne Telegraph Cables,” tlDW,!enT'r Q - bon ‘ e ’ 8,l0WI «g tUc ICSUHs of ,!!™ n ISea a f * e sw-ds efficiency up to the preseut date, tfle conclusions arrived at Inn'inTT 1 ’ { bal ?
