Measures for • Rebuilding and Repairs The railroads leading from Savannah are most important to her commercial success, and to the whole territory which depends on Savannah tor its supplies and a market forks products. They have suffered sadly from the war— repairs have necessarily been much neg lected, and in Sherman 's great march, track® were torn up, bridges burned, rolling stock destroyed, and in some places the grading seriously interfered with. Now that Peace is established, one of its most gratifying results is the resumption of control of their roads by the corporations, the institution of active measures for their repair, and the placing of them in good running order. THE CENTRAL RAILROAD, with its assets, lias now been turned over to the Directors by the military authorities. The distance by this road from Savannah to Macou is 190 1-4 miles. Os this distance, in Sherman’s march, 130 miles was destroy ed. Twenty miles of this, Irom Macon to Gordon, has been repaired, and is in active operation. The commencement of the repairs on the road from here to Milltn, 79 miles, will be commenced at once. Millen is the intersection of the Augusta and Savannah Railroad, and that, road re quires about 18 miles of rebuilding, which, with 32 miles now in operation, will make a railroad connection between Savannah and Augusta of 132 miles. Thence, by the Georgia Railroad, 171 miles to Atlanta, and from thence, by the Macon and Western Railroad, 103 miles, direct com munication will be had with Macon. It is contemplated to at once rebuild the eighteen miles of the road from Savannah to Waynesboro’, which, in connection with the roads now in operation, will make direct railroad communication with Macon, Au gusta, Columbus, West Point, and all of Southwestern Georgia. Os the brauch from Gordon to Eatonton, 38 nriles iu length, about six miles was de stroyed in Sherman’s march, together with three bridges over Buck Creek, Fishing Creek and Little River. This road has been thoroughly repaired, and is now in success ful operation from Macon to Eatonton. 58 miles. The distance from Millen to Gordon Is 91 miles, and.the greater portion has been de stroyed. The work of repairs will begin at once, and progress will be made as rapidly as possible. A large force will be put on. at once, and the work will be pushed forward with every eflort. The company has abundant means, and'the importance of the road to the people has been fully appreciated by the directors, but having had no control of the road until very recently, we feel convinced that their best exertions will be used to put the road in successful operation as soon as possible. The whole cost of the reconstruction will probably be about one million of dollars, and the prospect now is that the work will be so far completed as to give us direct communi cation with Augusta by the middle of Sep tember. The Central Road has a perpetual lease of the branch road from Millen to Augusta, and also of the road from Gordon to Eatonton, with the proprietorship of the principal por tion of the latter. ATLANTIC AND GULF KAILZOAD. This road connects Savannah with Thomas ville. About 30 miles of the road, between the Altamaha and Ogcechee Rivers, was des troyed. The company have now been put in com - plete possession of the road and its assets, and will at once, we are informed, cfiauneuce repairs. The trains are already running over the lower portion, for the accommodation of passengers, and for the transportation of cot ton. This road is an important one for cotton dealers along its line and the vicinity of Thomasville, and also to people travelling along the route, or to Savannah. SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON ROAD We do not know that there is any immedi-- ate prospect of the re-building of this Road. As soon as we obtain any information in re gaul to it, we shall be glad to publish it. This road is also an important one, hut it has suffered badly from military operations in this vicinity. S Notices or the Herald.— We get a great many favorable notices from pur exchanges, all over the country. The following, from the Columbus (Ohio) Journal, couples a high compliment tor ns with one for our worthy Postmaster, who stems to be known and es teemed all over creation: “*Z}r P the ? A 1 VA 7*? AH Daily Herald of •May 1 —tli, a good-looking, well-to-do-sheet, and none of your smoked aud shrivelled se cession affairs we were wont to receive trom that region a few mouths ago. From this number of the Herald we learn that the first V' I”.*' lAI, 1 Al, £ ustH was forwarded ou the day of its date, by Mr. Asa L Hae.r.s the efficient Special Agent of the Post-office De partment, per steamer Jeff Davis. Mall la eilrttes being thus restored, a friendly bnai ness and social intercourse with that region of country may be expected to ensue.” i>u. Additional Subscriptions is the fund for a Fourth #f July Celebration. We have received the following additional subscriptions to the fund for procuring fire works lor the celebration of the coming Fourth of July: Anson B. Ives, comer of Bull street and Bay lane $?,-, oo Terence Nugent, 65 Bull street r. 00 J. N. Carrlozo, Savannah Herald Ed itorial Room n 00 Major W. C. Manning, 103d U. S. C. TANARUS., Supt. ot Public Schools f, oo B. Stamm, corner of Bull aud Bryan streets 5 00 Messrs. L. C. Norvell & Cos. have gener ously furnished their check for SIOOO, to he repaid when the subscriptions have reached that amount, and the money has been for warded, with orders for the fireworks to he sent if they can reach here iu season ; aud if not, tor the funds to be returned. Several hundred dollars still need to be subscribed. Seventeenth of June.— Saturday was the Seventeenth of June, the anniversary of the Rattle of Bunker Hill. The Seventeenth of June is a great day iu Massachusetts, rank ing next to independence Day, and occa sional celebrations occur throughout other New England States. No especial notice of the anniversary was taken here, although the event which marks the day was individually remembered by a great many people, who feel a pride in the anuiversarv, and favorably remember the parades, the dinners, the ora tions, the halls, the fireworks, and the other features of the old celebrations. Later from Augusta.— The steamer Ama zon, Capt. Geo. C. Dunwell, from Augusta, arrived here on Saturday night last at ten o’clock. The Amazon brought down one hundred and fifty bales of cotton, and two hundred and thirteen cases of Confederate clothing. The Amazon passed, bound up to Augusta, the steamers Staudisu, Leesburg and Jets Davis. The Confederate gunboat Macon, under the command of Capt. Philpot, w; s passed, thirty miles below Augusta; her machinery was out of order, aud the Amazon supplied her with an engineer. Confederate Clothing. —The steamer Amazon, which arrived in this city on Satur day night, from Augusta, brought as a por tion of her cargj., two hundred and thirteen eases of Confederate clothing. These goods were captured at Augusta by General Upton, and consist of grey coats and jackets, grey and blue pants, and cotton under drawers. Several of the boxes, on the down trip of the Amazon, were broken into and robbed; the parties who committed this offence will be brought to justice. What disposition will be made of the clothing is not yet known. The consignee, Capt. S. S. StaiT, Chief Quarter master, is storing it in a fire-proof building. Hon. A. H. Stephens. —A correspondent of the Tribune writes that Mr. Stephens, for him, is in tolerable health, and his cye9 are keen and pleasant to look upon, and add 9 ■ “He is very agreeable in conversation, and earnestly desires a permanent restoration of the Union. He says the advice and warning which he gave to the people of Georgia be tore she seceded were such as a wise man ought to give, majority overruled him. He concedes that slavery is at an end in tli is country. ” Foreign- Cotton. —The National Intelli gencer say 9 the most sagacious merchants anticipate in consequence of the great in crease in the growth of cotton in India and Egypt, a reduction in the price to ten cents a pound in another twelve month. Should this anticipation prove correct, it will 'ef fectually close up the cotton trade of India, inasmuch as the inland transportation there is so expensive as to preclude Its export at so low a figure. Then will come the turn of America once more. Resigned. —Capt. C. W. Kennedy of the Is6th New York Regiment., and Assistant Adjutant General, <jn the Staff of the 3rd Brigade, 2d Division, 19th Army Corp(, had his resignation accepted a few days since, Capt. Kennedy, for over two years, was in the U. S. service, his gentlemanly conduct won for him a host of friends, to his brotner offi cers, lie was a true friend, and they regret that he returns to his home in New York. Hioh Compliment to Gen. Birqe.— ln the proceedings of the Connecticut Legislature for June sth, we find that a Resolution of Thanks to Brevet Major General Henry Birge, now commanding this District, was passed. Gen. Birge’s bravery and efficiency in the field, and the ability he has shown in com mand of various Posts and Districts, fully en title him to this credit. Casjc Reeds. —The swamps of Georgia and South Carolina abound in cane reeds. Prior to the war they entered largely in com merce. The first reeds cut for expoitation, since the re-opening of Savannah to com merce, were on Saturday. Messrs. Laphnm & Rideli are the enterprising men who have develojied this enterprise. Departure or Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown. This gentleman, late Governor of Georgia, who arrived in this city a few days since, and was the guest of Mr. D.

The Ma con was built in .Savannah by Mr. H. F. Willink, Jr., and her machinery was manu factured by the Naval Iron Works, Colum bus, Georgia. Excursion to Dacfuskie. —A number of gentlemen yesterday made an excursion to Daufuskie Island, on the steamer Nantaslst, Capt. Springer. An officer ot Gen. Saxton’s staff had chaige of the boat, having official business at tkat point, He read some important orders to the freedmen. The party returned in the evening, and all were in good spirits and highly pleased with the day’s recreation ou the coast. Good News for the Troops at Hilton Head.— We are informed that Major Flem iug, Paymaster, proceeds to Port Royal immediately for the purpose of paying off the 9th Connecticut Volunteers. This news will doubtless be received with loud mas by the noble fellows who have so long and so patiently waited for their justly earned re ward of merit-and bravery. There will now be life and jollity at the Island City. Sweatnam’s Varietiks.— The combination which has been performing so successfully and acceptably at this pleasant theatre dur ing the last week, commences on its second week this evening. We hope to see a suc cession of crowded houses reward the effort* of the praiseworthy manager and his excel lent company. A splendid bill is announced for to-night. Departure or the Araoo. —The steamei Arago, having a large number of passengers departed yesterday at noon trom Hilton Head, for New' York. A number of passen gers from Savannah were compelled to re turn yesterday by the steamer U. S. Grant, they being unable to procure transportation on the Arago. Theatricals at Hilton Head.— We are glad to know' that Mr. A. H. Davenport 9 speculation at Hilton Head is still flourishing. His benefit on Thursday evening w'as a per fect ovation, the house being crowded to ex cess. We wish that his success may long continue. French Tobacco at Richmond.-— The French government is at last shipping the! large amount of tobacco it has kept stored at Richmond for three years.' It is now on its way to City Point, where several large vessels are awaiting cargoes to be carried to France direct. Frttm the fcharlesfon Oonrier of the 15th Inst, wd extract the following items of in teresti r : ‘" & j » Arrest or Grc. A. Tkrnholm, Esa*-Gco A. Trenholm, Esq., was arrested at Colum bia, 9. C., by Lieut. McMartin, ol General Hatch’s Staff and arrived in this city on Monday night. He was placed in the cus tody of Major Pratt, Provost Marshal, and committed to the city jail. It was snpposed he would bo sent to Hilton Head immediate iy- How to Live in Charleston.— The weath er has become so uncomfortably warm that we people in Charleston are disposed to pass our time without indulging any violent ex ereise. We now have an opportunity of learning the reason of the exodus of so many of the inhabitants from the city at this sea son of the year, in •former times. On Mon day, the 12th inst., the thermometer in the afternoon indicated 86 degrees. With this state of the atmosphere who can blame peo- Ele for wishing to repair to some cool resort? ight suits are iu great demand. At present Charleston is a poor place for the wearers of paper collars. That article of apparel can scarcely be recognized after an hour’s use.— Linen collars are better adapted to the pur pose, but even they sueeumb to the wilting process in a very short time. Within a day or two we have seen pedes trians on the streets with coats giving the ap pearance of having been ducked in a water tank. Stage Travel. —Some enterprising gentle men, we are informed, have established * stage route between Colombia and New berry. This accommodation ‘ will certainly be appreciated by the traveling public. The Rail Roads. —lt is expected that both the South Carolina and Northeastern Rail roads will be in running order to remote points within a very short time. Laborers are at work repairing bridges and telavins; rails. 3 6 Naval Items.— The steamer Wasmsutta, Acting Master Charles W. Little Comman der, sailed yesterday for Portsmouth, N. H. The steamer Norwich, Acting Master De- Wolf, left for Philadelphia yesterday. Severe Hail Storm. —A gentleman who has just arrived in this city from Newberry informs us that a severe hail storm occurred in the lower part of that distrfet, on Saturday last. \ egetation was much injured by the hail, some of the stones being as large as pigeon eggs.— Columbia Thcenix, Gth. Union Meeting at Oranqkburo, S. C.—A public meeting has recently been held at Orangeburg C. H, relative to the best means of getting the State restored to her former civil position among the States. It is said that the meeting was large and unanimous in its desire to have peace ratified by seeing the State occupy her old position. A Carolinian in Illinois.— An old resident and well known citizen of Charleston, Mr. F. H. Whitney, writing an account of his trip to a friend in this city, says : “What would a South Carolinian think to see a farmer riding on a pough, driving two or four horses; turning over two furrows at once, with a large umbrella over his head, and a box ot sugars alongside of him. This is what you can witness here. The com planter drops two rows of com at once, four kernels in a spot. One team of horses, witt a boy that can drive, will do as much work as a man, aDd will plant fifteen acres ot corn in a day. Such are the results of farming by machinery. No hand labor is required. The only labor is to gather the crops. Grain enough is wasted here to feed the whole of South Carolina. It was a noble sight as we passed along the railroad to see the vast herds of cattle, hoi9es, sheep, lambs and hogs. Some of the prairie lands were black with them. They appear to herd in droves. The greater portion of the cattle Were large fat oxen, weighing about fifteen hundred pounds each. As to the health of this country, I find eve ry one I meet, old and young, presenting a hale, hearty, robust appearance. There is a ready sale lor produce. We are much pleas ed with the prospect before us.” MONETARY. Price of Gold uor Confederate Notes fbomJan. 1, 1861, to May 1, 1865.—The fol lowing is furnished by F. C. Barber & Son, of Augusta.

To this ques tion w'e can give no satisfactory answer. The fact is clear, that w'hile the depreciation of the currency was alleged as the reason for the great increase of prices in 1884, though the currency ha 9 now’ nsen in.value, until it stands quite as high as it did before that in crease, no corresponding reduction has been made by dealers in provisions. This fact is forcibly put by the United States Economist, in a comparison between the currency price of provisions at two periods, viz : Sept 6th, issyad May lain l ß ea, gold selling at 1311.. <m each at lho»o datei Tho Econo, mist s table of prices is as follows : Sn P«" r - M63 May 12,1865.

The causes of this phenomenon a great many people would bo glad to see satis factorily elucidated. We presume that the comparative scarcity of labor in farming dis tricts in part accounts for it, and that cause now that the war is over, we may soon hope to see removed iu some measure, n uI L (?

The assets of the bank, said to amount to $6.->O,OOO, and a large accumulation of State bonds were, on the 15th hist., at Atlanta under escort, and en rouUTfor Chattanooga It wrs expected that the escort, with Its charge, would probably reach there bv the 20th inst.— Macon Herald. Bank Capital.—The total amount of au thorized National Bank capital is upward of $265,000,000, of which nearly all has been paid in. The largest amount in any one State is in Massachusetts, which has ssl 744,500 authorized, and $51,589,000 paid iu!
