FKO.H OUB EVENING EDITION
OF YESTERDAY.
Tan Steamship Carolina will sail for New
York to-morrow afternoon at 4 o’clock.
The Pacificator, the Catholic journal,
published at Augusta, has been enlarged to
twice its former size.
Vegetables —Our market this morning
was abundantly supplied with tomatoes,
which were retailed at twenty-five cents per
quart. Musk melons were sold at prices
ranging from fifteen to twenty cents green
com four and five cents per ear; okra fifty
cents per quart; water melons two dollars to
two dollars and fifty cents, and in limited de
mand.
We learn that the steamer Carolina will
convey to New York on to-morrow a large
quantity of vegetables, contracts for which
were made this morning with the gardeners.
From the coast in a few days will be received
large supplies of water melons, etc., the pro
ducts of the Freedmen’s farms.
Second Provost Court.— This morning,
Francis Dowd and Peter Luddy,, jr., charg
ed with violation of General Order, No. 4 1,
were arraigned and tried by Judge Rundlet.
From tli it appears that on Satur
day or Friday last, n Sergeant of Company
C, 75th New York Volunteers, obtained at
Dowd's saloon, on Bryan street, from Luddy,
his*clerk, a glass of liquor. Dowd and
Luddy were subsequently arrested and lodg
ed iu jail under paragraph 4, section 2d of
the order whieh reads: “No liquor will be
sold, or otherwise disposed of, to the enlisted
men of the Army or Navy.” Messrs. Dowd
and Luddy were found guilty by the Court.
The decision of the Court will be found in
the published proceedings in our morning
edition of to-morrow.
The Ice Business. —For several years prior
to the war, this business was a monopoly in
Savannah; the two different firms who held
the trade at their bidding were then merged
in one, and at the present time the concern
is known as Messrs. Haywood, Gage A Co-,
Market Square. This firm have now on
hand a large stock of ice, and their houses
ou Bryan, South Broad and Abercorn streets
are amply supplied. There is also
anew house in this same business,
who have lately located permanently
in Savannah, and will furnish ice to
the people at reduced rates. This firm is
Cheeseman & Marshall, contractors of the
Government. They supply all hospitals on
the Atlantic and Gulf coast, also the hospi
tals at New Orleans, Natchez, Memphis aud
other points on the Mississippi. They not
alone supply the invalid, but he or her who
desires to encourage their enterprlze. At
Savannah, Mr. George Smith is their local
agent. He can be found at Wiltberger’a old
ice house, corner of Drayton and Brougton
street lane. The stock landed and housed
a nearly one thousand tons. Orders of one
hundred or more pounds will be filled at one
dollar and fifty cents per hundred pounds
over ten pounds, at retail to customers, two
cents per pound.
Business Phospects in Florida.—W e have |
been a private letter received by a
gentleman in this city, from a well-known
merchant, resident in Gainesville, Florida. It
contains some interesting statements relative
to the condition of affairs and the prospects
for business in that State. The w riter says
that all acknowledge that henceforth busi
ness is to be conducted on anew oasis, and
that the character of the intercourse between
the merchants and the planters must undergo
a marked change. A disposition is univer
sally manifested on the part oi the planters
to accede cheerfully to the requirements ot
* the new order of things, and to do the best
they can to secure their present crops. The
apprehensions so generally felt in regard to
the negroes are found to have been in a great
measure unfounded. They are, in general,
orderly iu their conduct and industrious, and
profitable to their employers.
The crops are looking very well. Colton
was planted-in-so limited an extent that ihe
entire yield will not probably exceed a few
hundred bales in the central section of the
State. The small supply now on hand is be
ing held by the owners until the market is
fairly opened, and the railroads repaired to
the coast.
The railroad to Jacksonville, it was ex
pected, would he completed about the mid
dle of June, when the working force engaged
there would be immediately placed upon the
track of the road from Baldwin to Fernandi
na. Great. activity is manifested along the
line of this Hoad in the preparations for a re
newal oi business Lumber mills are going
up, a number of turpentine plantations are
again being .opened, while many are making
tar and getting out ranging timber.
The want of a circulating medium it se
verely. felt. It is believed that there are
scarcely a hundred dollars of Government is
sues in the community, and the people are
not. inclined to make too great sacrifices oi'
what little of effects they have left.
Fernandma is now looked upon as an ex
cellent held for commercial operations, and its
business prospects for the tuture a3 promising
as those of any town in the State.
—Which is the best way of retaining a
woman’s affections? By not returning them.
,I<ntr»on Davis iu Fri»ou.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times gives the following accouut 1
of the prison life of Jeff. Davis, which may, I
or may not be authentic •
At the tort, an entire casemate, oompris-1
ing two rooms, was set apart for his use In |
front of it, a line-of sentinels making three •
sides of a square, of which the front of the |
casemate in the fourth, prevents all approach
to tbe locality Within the line is an officer
ou duty, who, for the time being is not allow- i
ed to leave the established inclosure, and
who holds one of the keys to the door of the 1
casemate- In the interior, two sentinels aie i
on duty with their backs to the dooi under |
orders not to speak during their tourot duty,
but continually to observe the prisoner.—
Between them sits an officer, who is also not
allowed to speak, anil who holds the key ot
the second or interior lock of the door which
cannot be opened, except by the concurrence
of the two officers named. . At the door
between the rooms is another sentinel,
and in lhe inner room are two others who
are all enjoined to the same strict silence.—
Mr. Davis cannot thus be lost sight of tor a
moment, day or night The window of the ;
inner room is, of course, the embrasure of
the casement, looking out at the broad moat i
of the fort, and beyond it a line of sentinels
observe the emiuasure The prisoner is pro- '
vidfid with food from that prepared for the j
guard furnishing the above details. He has
as much in quantity as he pleases, but no
other rations than those of the soldiers, whose
presence testifies to him the power of the
government he has so lone: defied. He is in
continual uninterrupted silence if he makes
a request, it is'writ ten down and forwarded
to the military commandant, who returns a
brief answer in writing, granting or denying*
the favor. He is furnished with a Bible, aud
with that only, and thus for the time at least,
he is left in solemn communion with his con
science and his God.
“Is Medio Trnssiwrs Ibis.” —The other
day—it was a Sunday—soon after the assas
sination of our Martyr-President, there were
found suspended near a certain pulpit two
flags draped iu mourning. This at old Tap
pan Town, in the county of Rockland, and
in the ancient orthodox church at that place,
not twenty rods from the old *“ Seventy-six
House," where Andre was confined, tried
and sentenced; and not a half mile from
where he was executed, buried, and, long
after, exhumed.
“ Dein vlags must coom down,” said one
of the not over-loyal members of the congre
gation. “Nobiziiness in church; no boli
dicks ought to go into der church.”
“It is not politics,” said a loyal over
hearer; “it is a token of grief and respect
for our dead President. ”
“ Its bolidicks all der same,” was the re
ply ; “ mus’ coom down ”
“Let ’em be, dis time.” said r brother
Dutchman, in political accord with the ob
jector; “ Boot is killed, too !”
“Ishe ?” said the old copperhead; “ den
let der vl»gs»stand.”
The Process Illustrated. —Signor Gorini,
an Italian professor, well known iu the
scientific circles of the P.uropean continent,
is said to have invented a process by which
he exhibits in a miniature the geological for
mation of our globe. The precise method
by which this result is obtained is as yet a
secret, but wc are informed that the profes
sor prepares a hot liquid composition* which
he pours into a large basin, and that as this
fluid cools, the spectator beholds gradually
rising from its surface bold elevations having
the shape and character of mountains, which
break into smaller chains of hills sloping
down towards the plain, and in their course
developing a succession of valleys.
R. A. Gillette, Esq., of New Lebanon, Co
lumbia Cos., N. Y., by letter informs the
Clerk of the Supreme Court of the District-of
Columbia that he is retained b} r some of the
friends of Jeff. Davis, as counsel for the iatter
in the trial under the indictment ' found on
the 29th of May. Mr. Gillette was a protege
of Silas Wright, was a Representative in
Congress from the Ogden burg District from
1832 to 183 C, was Solicitor of the Treasury
under Polk, Assistant Attorney General under
Pierce, and Solicitor of the Court of Claims
under Buchanan
Colt-kctor or Internal Revenue. —Mr.
Fredeiick A. Sawyer, well and favorably
known to our citizens, has received the ap
pointment of Collector of Internal Revenue
lor the Second District of South Carolina,
including Charleston, Colleton, Beaufort,
Barnwell and Orangeburg Districts.— Chart??,-

A nice relic oi the “peculiar institution”
is found on one of the confiscated plantations
on the Mississippi, a notoriously hard master,
named Coeksel, who left behind, in the house,
a journal of events, orders, &c. in which he
expressly prohibits all meetings for prayers
and religious sevvices. Coekrel, in the jour
nsi meutiened above, chronicles an instruc
tion issued to his overseer one season, that
the plantation must produce so much corn,
such a quantity of cot ton,' a certain number
of mules, a certain number of hogs, and ten
negro children, and directs arrangements he
made accordingly, without regard to any oi
the relations oi' life.
A letter from Washington says: “l
have seen a large number of persons direct
from various parts of the South, recently
from \ irginia to Louisiana, and it is remark
able, as I learn from them, what terrible and
universal destitution prevails all over the
South among the negroes These poor crea
tures, enticed away from their comfortable
homes, are crowded into all the Southern
cities by tr-us of thousands—men, women
and children Os course, no provision lias
been made, and r.o adequate provision can
be made for their support; and they are lit
erally starving to death by thousand."
—A drunken soldier in the army in India,
having been lately confined in the black iiol e
for intoxication, felt something crawling over
him. Knowing it to he a serpent, and fcar
its deadly bite, he kept quite still, while the
reptile crawled inside of tiis jacket and coiled
himself up for a nap. When the ptard came
to release hint some hours later, a snake—a
cohra —quickly glided away. The guard no
ticed with surprise that the prisoner’s hair
had turned white, and he died a few hours
after telling his story
—The Fatis exhibition of dogs opened on
the (jth of May. 1,700 docs were sent into
the jury, who admitted but 1,250. This num
ber does not include 25 pack hounds of 15
couples each. Dogs have been sfent into
trance, England, Belgium, Russia. China
and Australia.
—Say> a Fortress Monroe correspondent,
Juue 6th—“ The steamship Champion arrived
here this morning from Hilton Head, having
on board tbe rebel Major General Sam , .Tones
and his staff, paroled prisoners ol war. Gen
eral Sam| Jones, it will be remembered, com
manded in and about Charleston for two
years previous to its forced evacuation. He
it was who placed imprisoned Union officers
under fire in the city of Charleston. Ex
General Bam. walked up the wharf this morn
ing, under the blazing sunshine, a heavy
overcoat and blanket thrown across his
shoulders, and a large valise in his hand. He
was followed by his staff, each one carrying
his traps. They were not allowed to enter
the Hygeia Hotel by the sentry on duty
there, on account of their rebel uniforms.
All had their side arms, though none wore
them. Home of the officers utilized their
swords by hanging.
—The word creek, meaning a small river,
dipper, meaning a ladle, nail and pitcher, are
all Americanisms. In England they sav “a
bucket of water,” not “a pail n( water;" in
stead of “a pitcher of water,” they make ase
ot “a j“g of water,” or “decanter of water.”
Throughout Europe, except among the low
est classes, water is brought on the table in
decanters They are regarded ns not so lia
ble to admit dust as jugs or pitchers, and as
possessing the advantages of enabling a per
son to see whether the water in them is clean.
Though not altogether apropos, let us here
state that an Englishman never says “what
time is it ?’’ but always employs the query
“what o’clock is it?”
One day last week, a man named Luther
Dunn, was working in a field in St. Francis
county, Arkansas, when a neighbor, named
David Wilds, came up and called on him to
halt, and before he could make any response
shot him dead. Thirty of the neighbors met
at once, and going to Wild’s house, they
seized him. They then asked him if he
wanted to pray. He said he did, and knelt
kown. In a few minutes they fired simul
taneously, and Wild’s body was blown to
pieces.
—A New Yorker, who has been sent to the
musical festival at Boston, writes home as
follows; “These Boston people are nothing
if not critical, and their satisfaction at find
ing something to criticise is the chief plea
sure they derive from a musical entertain
ment. When they go to Heaven they will
declare that some of the harps are out of
tune, «Uiat one of the angels takes liberties
with the composer’s text, and that another
‘sings flat.’ They will also deplore the ab
sence of the Boston organ.”
—The reason that the rebel cotton loan is
still quoted in England, is that certain persons
there suppose that the cotton on which the
loan was predicted is stall in tße South aud
will be snipped as soon as the ports are
opened.
