gr \ m. ■ ' W ■ •*- Th« Savannah Dally Hamid* rtftlß 14. tm. ritOffll Ol'tt EVENING EDITION OF YESTERDAY. THE PEOPLE OF GEOBUI A. The following frank utterances are taken from an article iu the Macon Journal «fc Mes senger. Iu the light of such words as these it should be seen that the feeling of the peo ple is iu a satisfactory condition. It should also be seen that witli a people who so fully realize their position with the government, and so well appreciate the duties which their new relations impose, all adulation for pre tended sentiment and wordy menacing against honest feeling, will be rated at exactly what they are worth: As tar as we can judge, there is no partic ular occasion for imputing to the people of Georgia a disinclination to adapt themselves to circumstances, and to conform cheerfully to the necessities of the times. It*they make no noisy demonstrations of zeal tor the Union just now, it is probably owing to the tact that the transition from opposition to subjection to its authority, has beeu too sudden to admit of a hearty change of sen timent from enmity to love. A loug pro tracted and desolatiug war has had its na tural effects, and the people are now anxious mainly to be left in peace and the enjoy ment of such rights as the victors, in the plentitude oi their jjower and mercy, may 9ee proper to grant. Their future attach ment to the Union will probably he contin gent upon the benefits which that Union may confer. They were, we doubt not, more reluctant to sever their connection with the U. 8. Government ‘than they now are to reunite with it, and but for real or imaginary grievances, they would never have placed themselves in antagonism to it. They loved it once—they may love it again if it proves such a Union as its founders de signed it to be. As yet, the people have not had time to determine whether, in returning to t heir former allegiance, they are to be benefited or injured. Many of those who who persuaded them to secede are now impelling them into the embrace of. the Union. Is it surprising that they should ques tion the sincerity of such tickle advisers, and doubt the propriety of implicit obedience to their behests ? The people of Georgia acknowledge the fact of their being agatu in the Union and subiect to its constitution and laws. To that constitution and those laws they will yield a ready obedience, and when it becomes the pleasure of the Federal authorities to allow them the exercise of those civil rights once accorded to the people of the respective Slates by the constitution of the United States, they will gladly avail themselves ot the privilege of organizing for themselves a competent State government. Fob Acocsta —The steamer Jeff. Davis, Capt. Henry, with considerable freight and having in tow a fiat, departed this morning for Augusta. Foe Hilton Head.— The U. S. Hospital Steamer Cosmopolitan, Capt. Crowell, hav ing on board about forty sick soldiers, depart ed this morning for Hilton Head The Fibst Water Melon of the Season. —On Saturday last, Mr Nicholas Geil, gar dener, on the east side of Lovers Lane, pick ed on his farm the first water melon of the season. Major General Birge, with several friends, enjoyed the melon as a compliment from Mr. Geil, Serious Accident —On Sunday last, Pat rick Cooper, a laborer, while the steamer Emilie was leaving the Commissary wharf, fell between the steamer and the wharf. HU head was badly crushed. He wa3 taken in an iusensible condition to his residence on Bay Lane, near Price street. He now lies in a very critical condition. % The Attraction of Rank.— lt is said that the Board of Officers before whom officers of volunteers and regulars desirous of remain ing in the service are ordered to appear for examination, find that at least one half of the regular officers promoted to higher grades in the volunteer rank are not disposed to return to their old positions. \ eoetari.es, Etc.—Our marKet is now supplied with tomatoes, okra and apples. The first are selling at fitly cent 9 per quart; the second at seventy-five cents, and the lat ter at twenty-five cents. From the Jasper Spring Nursery we have received delicious ap ples. In three weeks time we shall be fur nished by Mr. G. Brown, of the nursery, with pears of a select variety. Thb Trial ok Davis. — Of tlie two papers published in Washington, liotli claiming to sjieak officially, one announces an immediate civil trial in court there for Davis, and the other announces either a military court, or a trial in Pennsylvania or Maryland. It is now eontidenily asserted that the mode and time will not be settled until the close of the pre sent military court. It appears that the ac tion ot the civil court in linding the indict ment was commenced without consulting the President?' consequently the Administration is not constrained to try him in that way should any other form present itself, deemed better by the Administration. Cut Ac Lano— -We arc informed that a plantation in Bibb couuty was sold the other day, at one dollar per acre, the buyer as suming all liabilities for tax. This is conclu sive of one of two things, either that lands are very much depreciated in value, or that taxation promises to become so oppressive a burthen as to render the possession of pron ely undesirable. Either way, the prospect ottuture prosperity U rather dim.—diW, Journal . Chicago has anew opera house, which cost half a million of dollars, and will hold three thousand people. j Mi* Miif Ml' M | Maw W*i b#h*v* and what boolu thev Have. The special correspondent of the "Philadel phia Inquirer, writes from Fortress Mouroe, June r»th. It seems that Davis positively ironed, whatever lias been or may Ire said to the contrary. The correspondent says : We have the arch-rebel still among us, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. He has not stirred out of his casemate since the day he was first immured within its thick stone walls. He has not taken a syigie ex cursion up the Potomac since Ills incarcera tion, either on gunboat 01 monitor. In fact, Jeff, is closely guarded ; twenty-six armed men stand guard over him night and day.— Two soldiers with loaded and bayonetted muskets pace incessantly to and fro in his r ell. These dungeons sentries walk in op posite directions to each other, to and fro across the cell. The prisoner is always un- der the eyes of one of them. A commission ed officer, too, continually keeps w atch and w ard within the cell. ' Since the removal of tlio irons Jeff takes his confinement more resignedly. He is so cially disposed, and is ever opening conver sations, which cannot be kept up, as the of ficer's are not allowed to talk to him. There is neither chair nor table in his cell. No books nor papers are allowed him, neither pen, ink, pencil nor paper. There are excep tions in the way of books. Two volumes are allowed the prisoners, the Bible and Book of Common Prayer. These two are certainly the two books of all others most needed by Jefferson Davis. Clement C. Clay bears his confinement with the same dignified philosophy as at its commencement. He oecassioually express es concern for Mrs. Clav. Clay is an invet erate smoker; tobacco' is furnished him, and the most ot his waking hours are occupied in puffing the soothing weed. His food is the the regular array ration, of which lie par takes but sparingly. His cell is as barely furnished as is that of Iris chief in crime. The only books permitted him are the Bible and ‘Prayer Book. Writing materials and the newspapers are rigidly excluded. The Excitement in the Pennsylvania Mining Regions. A correspondent of the Philadelphia lu quirer writing from Schuylkill Haven, June fith, says: Though there was no actual outbreak among the miners, no breakers having been destroyed as stated, there was some excite ment among them. There are contradictory stories as to vio lence used, which I do not deem it proper to publish. Several operators, however, receiv ed annonymous notes of warning. The Two-hundred-and-second Regiment is on duty in these regions, the companies bein ir quartered at Ashland, Pottsville, and other places. No mines are being worked, at least to any exteut, and the miners have been out of Work for some six weeks. The laborers will not go to work at the reduced figures fixed by operators. The inclined plane leading from the coal breaker of Kirk & Bawn, at Crow Hollow, was set on fire by miners, and the breaker it self was only saved by tearing away a por tion of the structure, There is no doubt in regard to this occurrence, but the impression largely prevails throughout the whole mill ing district that the great majority of the miners are well disposed, and could easily control the violent minority if they were al lowed to go to work. It is asserted by the miners that the object of the operators is to run coal up to a big price, aud that their request for troops has only been made to cover their real designs on the market. Brea. Brio. Gen. C. L. Kilburn.—Col. Chas. L. Kilburp, Chief Commissary oi the South, has been promoted to the position of Brevet-Brigadier General, his commission dating from March 18th, 18C.’>, Geu. Kilburn graduated at West Point in 1842, and conse quently has been 23 years in service. In the Mexican War he served as a Lieutenant of Artillery in Bragg’s Battery, aud was iu the Florida War as Commissary of Subsis tence, emigrating “Billy Bowlegs” as Indian Agent. At the commencement of the pre sent war Captain Kilburn was iu New Or leans. He succeeded in getting away from the South after considerable difficulty and reported to tiie authorities at Washington abmit the time of the surrender of Sumter. The efficiency and urbanity of General Kil ourn, are features of liis character so well known and appreciated in the Department of the South, that every one having the plea sure of his acquaintance, will feel sincerely gratified over this evidence of recognition on the part of Governmect, as to his worth and merit. Hard on thk “Johnny Rubs.”— I The fol lowing stringent general order, the papers say, has been issued from headquarters at Cbatlafiooga, Tenn.: Information having been received at these headquarters, that paroled officers and en listed men of the late Confederate army have been invited to, and allowed to enter places of public resort and amusement. It is ordered that no such officer or soldier belonging to the surrendered men now* at this post, will be allowed to visit any place of amusement, under any pretence whatever. Any one violating the above, and any pro pi ietor, ageut, ticket agent or other person who shall knowiugly sell any such person any ticket or card of admission, or shall al low any such person to enter auv such place ot amusement, or having entered, to remain, shall be arrested und punished for disolie dience of orders. Tub Htatk Road.— This, the “Western and Atlantic Rtflroad, ” one of the most im portant railroads iu Georgia, connecting, as it does, the great West with the Atlantic coast, is fast progressing to completion.— From Chattanooga it is now in running or der to Cartcraville, a distance of eighty-eight miles. Fifty miles more, and the ‘ whole road will be completed to this point. The large force now at work on ibe unfinished part of the road, warrant us iu stating that the whole road will l»e in runaing order in the space of three or four weeks.

The undersigned, at a regular communication ot the New York Lodge, No. 330, were appoint ed a committee to draft a .letter of fraternal greeting in consideration of recent occurren ces not unknown to the public. They approach the subject with much del ieacy of feeling, and would at the threshold beg you to believe that they are actuated on ly by those high aud holy motives which con tiol Masonic intercourse. Your receut communications which have been made public through the medium of the press relating to the mournful calamity which has lately befallen our common country, have impressed us with a sense of solemn duty to you, to whom, as a brother of our Lodge, we owe special consideration. While as Masons, we are hot called upou to take part in, or espouse auy political cause or object, we cauuot refuse the expression of our long time aud continued confidence in your loyalty and good-standing asu citizen of the United States, aud as men aud Masons fully endor ing your status throughout the Masonic anil civic world. It affords us distinguished pleasure to be the orgin of New York Lodge iu making this communication, aud to assure you iii fullest personal and Masonic confidence of the complete aud entire reliance of the Lodge, and of all those who know you best, that your political condition and fealty to the laws and Coustitutiou of the United States has even beeu firm and steadfast. Your noble heart, generous nature, and liberal disposition have ever contributed to the common advancement, of our fraternity, and we feel a just pride iu being thus per mitted to respond to the sentiment which you have so recently publicly announced. With the most extreme delicacy we indulge the hope that the future may prove that no “pri vate woe” may be realized by you, by reason of the recent occurrence at the national Capitol; and should our thoughts in this re spect result in contradiction, it may not be improper to say that the members of New Y r ork Lodge, in common with the country at large, will most enthusiastically join a loud acclaim to the Great Master of the Universe, in grateful thanks for the merciful relief that must result to you and yours; aud if. on the contrary, it should appear that our hopes are unsubstantial, we tender you our delicate sympathies, and most sincere condolence in the domestic affliction which must necessa rily follow. Iu any event, dear brother, we can from personal and fraternal knowledge of you, and your private and public career in our midst, endorse you as a good man, a true friend, a loyal citizen, and' a faithful brother, and if advice were ueeded, we might very properly ■add in the words of the poet, “ Honor and shame from no condition rise ; Act well your part, there allthe honor lies.” In conclusion, dear brother, permit us in the discharge of this fraternal duty, to add to our official communication our individual sympathies and renewed confidence under the trying circumstances which now appear to surround you; and should our hopes fail of realization, we can but commend you to the beneficent goodness of the All-wise and merciful Being, who ” Tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.” We subscribe ourselves with very high of ficial regards: Your friends anil brothers—William J. Bunce, Thomas E. Morris, James R. Elsey, Thomas J. Leigh, Wm. W. Paddon, J H. Hobart Ward, Wm. B. Smith, Wm. R. Brewster, Committee of New York Lodge, No. 330. No. 28 East 19xh Street. Brothers: Your fraternal and consoling letter has come to me at the hour of my greatest need. It is very comforting amid the dreadful darkness which shrouds my present and my future. If there can be compensation for such a calamity us has overtaken me, it is to be found in the sentiments you so gracefully ex press and as I believe sincerely entertaiu for me. I thank you, brethren, for the great relief your cheering words convey. It has pleased Gjd to afflict mj r family as noue other was ever afflicted The nature, manner, and extent of the crime which has been laid -at our door, has crushed me to the very earth ; the detesta tion and abhorrence of the act, in all its at titudes are inexpressible ; my grief is unut terable, and were it not for the sympathies of such friends as you it would be intolerable. Y'ou bear witness to my loyalty, you know my persistent, aod to some extent successful efforts to elevate our name, personally and professionally. For proof of this I appeal to tire records of the pa«t. For the future, also, I struggle on in my retirement bearing a heavy heart, an oppres sed memory, and a wounded name—dread ful burdens—to my too welcome grave. Your afflicted frieud aud brother, Edwin Booth, To the Committee of the New York Lodge No. 330 F. A. M. The Atlantic Teleorach Cable. —The Prince of Wales visited the steamship Great Eastern on the 24th ult., and minutely sn spected the Atlantic Telegraph Cable, and the works connected therewith. Avery se lect and influential company of gentlemen were present on the oecassion, among them Lord Lyons, Sir Edward Cunnard, George Peabody and Cyrus W. Field. The Canadi an commissioners in England, and numerous distinguished telegraph officials were also pressut. The work of placing the cable on the Great Eastern is going on actively, and it is pretty certain that she will start in the early part of July, accompanied by the British frigate Ter rible and another British war steamer. . Office Seekers from Alabama. —A Wash ington correspondent says .- “Judge Parsons, of Alabama, who lias beeu at home during the rebellion, is a cam didate for Provisional Governor of Alabama, arid is urged by a delegation of men here from that State, while some of the Union re fugees who formed tin* first Alabama regi ment, urge that their Colonel, who fled to save his life, is the most reliable man for that position.” —One day, just as an English officer had arrived at Vienna, the Empress, kuowing that he had seen a certain princess much cel ebrated tor her beauty, asked if it were really true that she Was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen ? ‘*l thoughtfso yesterday, ” he replied. fHUial, , likAbQ'HS., Tllfi fiOI'ITI General s * Jnne »’ • No. 82. f I.
