Jo 6 ’J'O THE CITIZENS OP GEORGIA The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for the past four years has presented an impassable barrier to all social or commercial inteicoursc between the two great sections of our country, having at length happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of those relations which formerly bound ns together in a fraternal anion, I take the earliest opportunity afford ed me by this auspicious event, to greet my Sonthem friends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that ex. tensive business connection which for a quarter of a century has been uninterrupted save by the great pub lic calamity to which I have adverted. It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a busi ness re-union, I should repeat the warning so often given to my friends.—to beware of ail those spnrions and deleterious compounds which, under the specious and false titles of Imported Wines, Brandies, Holland Gin, Liquors, &c., have been equally destructive to the health of our citizens and prejudicial to the interest of the legitimate Importer. Many years of my past life have been expended'in an open and candid® tternpt to expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac complish this salutary purpose, and to place before my friends and the public generally; at the lowest possible market price, and in such quantities as might suit their convenience, a truly genuine imported arti cle. Twenty-five years’ business transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting bouses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass ed facilities for supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors, and Liquers of the best aud most ap proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis tillery in Holland for the manufacture of Uie “Schie dam Schnapps.’ The latter, so long tested and approved by the med ical Faculties of the United States, West Indies and South America as on invaluable Therapeutic, a whole some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli mates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cu pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a spurious article nuder the same name. I trust that I have, after muck toil aud expense, sur rounded all my importations with safeguards and di rections which with ordinary circumspection will In sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to oil my customers. I would, however, recommend in all cases where it is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22 Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, &c., in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign v, ines, embracing vin tag* of many past years, bottled up before tbe commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to ull connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. # In conclusion, I would specially coll the early atten tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally at the Depot, in order to insure the lulfiilmeut of their favors from the present large and well selected assortment.

Sgc., frc. Boston, Julj^2. To the Editor qf the Savannah Herald: During the intermission in my correspon dence 1 have been making a somewhat ex tensive trip through the New England States. The country never was appearing better, or or giving more flattering promises of pros perity. The season sustains the forwardness wiUi which it began, and a judicious and benevolent mixture of rain and khiue has brought forward the crops with a promise of abundant harvests which bos not been equaled for years. The people “feel good.” They “calculate” ceitaiu profits, and though they are heavily taxed, the salvation of the country, tor the aid of which they have never stinted their contributions, is consid ered an ample recompense for all that has been expended. Then there is another reason for gladness. The war is over—peace reigns from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from tbe great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico—and the earth resounds with the trarhp of our return ing braves. Their ranks are sadly thinned, but the bronzed survivors Btep proudly under the folds of the old flag, and their eyes are lighted with the gleams of victory. A won derful man is this citizen-soldier of the Union. He returns from the long service, the toil some march, “the perilous edge of battle,” and after a few days devoted to those lie loves, we find him back iu his old place in civil life, or engaging in some new enterprise for which his experience has fitted him. For you know that most of our soldiers are “trav elled gentlemen,” who, in all their travels, have had their eyes open for a settlement in life after “this cruel war is over,” and when Mary, and Josephine, aud Matilda Jane and Jerusha shall have crowned the laurelled heroes with the crown of love. In my travels I have taken in the lake and mountain region in New Hampshire. You can still gather a snow-ball at Tuckerman’s Ravine. The pleasure travel towards the “Switzerland of America” is very extensive this year, and the jovial and genial people of New Hampshire are prepared with a thous and welcomes for every guest. The editors of NeW Hampshire are unlike editors any where else. They are decidedly unprofes sional. Instead of sitting in their sauctuins until they grow to the editorial chair, and growing pale and thin with the constant strain upon their imagination, and tbe vio lent mental exercise appertaining to the use of the scissors, they make the summer sea son a regular round of excursions amid the Splendid scenery of their Stale, and write letters trom the Tip-Top House, telling their readers what a tip-top time they are having. In this way they work off all their superflu ous bile, and retain their cheerfulness in a green old age. It is a good idea which should be recommended to editors everywhere. They need air and exercise, aud to address their readers from high altitudes. And if rival editors have “a bone to pick” with each oth er. they had better do it on some flowery mead, with editorial brothers to hold the sponge and bottle, than to extend a quarrel through the successive numbers of their jour nals. But lam getting out of my sphere, Mr. Editor, and not knowing whether you are a cramped and snappish belligerent, by habit, or a gay and sportive optimist, allow me to back quietly out of the sanctum before you excoriate me or my manuscript with your scissors. Speaking about the New Hampshire editors, whom I left out of doors, I was going to remark that they have just finished up one excursion which included, as guests, a number ot their more laborious brothers from Massachusetts, and Gov. Smyth and Ex-Gov. Gilmore of the Granite State. It was a “high old time,” but what can in dued editors to make and listen to speeches when on a celebration is more than I* know. Rogers, of the Boston Journal, Bailey, of the Herald, Walters, of the Advertiser, and others were there—equally at home when crooking “pregnant hinges” ot the elbow, or catching the attitude of the American •tgle—very much, spread—on the New Hampshire hills. It was finally agreed be*, fore the party separated, that New Hamp shire was the first part of the continent made, when there was an abundaace of materials, and.that from tbe rising ot the snn to tbe going down thereof, there were, through all that region, many “smiles” of the Great Spirit—of Bourbon:- . The “Glorious Fourth’; will be celebrated throughout New England with tremendous enthusiasm. It has been always considered a] glorious “Fourth” in „New England, but this year it is gloriouser than ever before. I believe it is proposed to let tbe eagle scream in tbe most fierce and frightful manner. The proud bird will flap its wings across the ocean and make a breeze in the palaces of Europe as well as in the -Halls ot the Mon tezumas. He will take Canada in one claw and Mexico in tbe other, and nip. Nassau with his deadly beak; for he is now like that famous rooster that was restored td his pris tine vigor by a constant diet upon the elixer of life. I don't know as yon have seen that rooster, but be used to be more common than the pelican in Louisiana. Boston will be in a blaze of glory, I Enow; The day will be “ushered iu by the ringing of bells,” as the reporters say. I don t like to use the hackneyed phrase, and so I will amend it by saying that there will be a big time. And the young day, without waiting for an invitation, will “ring in.” About midnight, on tbe verge of time between tlse 3d and 4th inst., sober citizens will be aroused from their first nap by the opening of the youngsters with crackers, squibs and horns. An attempt will be made to stop the firing of pistols in the streets, to avoid accidents, with what success I will report hereafter. The day will dawn in a manner to do everlasting credit to all concerned. Tbe sun will nse with red eye, indicating that ho has been PRICE. 5 CENTS kept awake by the tremendous noise, and the great anniversary will be inaugurated iu all us pomp and circumstance. At seven 9’clock a grand concert on the Common by a whole band of one hundred pieces. At eight, a regatta, with races for single pair of sculls, two pair, four oars and six oars, oa Charles River. Then follows the procession, the oration, the city dinner; then two bal loon ascensions in the afternoon, and the fireworks in the evening. Ttie latter are to be very elaborate. During the day several halls are to be open for children to celebrate in, where they will have music, dancing, p aying and teasting. Something of a pro gramme, to be sure; but Jonathan and Jane will come in trom the far country—tbe un paved districts—and go through the whole as though it were no harder wort; than mow ing and churning. Between acts they will camp ou the Common, drawing their rations of ginger-bread aud pop beer from a hundred booths that will surround our beau tiful park. Boston is oniy the bead of New England towns in this matter. Every city and village will make the eagle scream on our national birthday. We have been expecting quite a number of distinguished guests to celebrate with usl but most of them have other engagements and I believe that Gen. Anderson, of Fort Sumpter fame, is the only one of any note who has arrived. The statue of Horace Mann has been erect ed in the Capitol grounds, where it balances its colossal predecessor, the statue of Web ster. The new statue is still veiled, and will remain so until it is inaugurated, which will be when Mr. Sumner is ready to open a bot tle of his eloquence. It is rather a silly practice, to keep it covered up, just for the purpose of a little melodramatic sensation, when, in the presence of a great multitude, it is to be formally revealed-. But it would spoil the pleasure of having it, for many, if it were made more common beforehand. Our city authorities are making very vig orous efforts to enforce the Sunday Liquor Law. Heretofore a great many bar rooms have been in full blast here on the Sabbath— a larger proportion than in almost any other city on the Atlantic seaboard. In order to convict rum sellers, the old custom of arrest ing and holding for trial any man found drunk has been resumed. The victim is al lowed to clear himself by telling where he bought his liquor, but not one in a thousand, as experience shows, will avail himself of this loop-hole of the law. Col. Williams. King, one of the bravest soldiers furnished by Massachusetts in the late war, ha 9 been appointed State Constable under the Con stabulary Police Liquor Law. He will have twenty deputies in Suffolk county, and one in each oi the other counties of the Com monwealth. Amusements are rather dull, and the weather is unusually hot. Heller, who i9 a .“fell of a Heller,” still continues with us, doing many diabolical things and taking lots of money. Artemus Ward recently went through here triumphantly. He is on his farewell tour previous to a trip to Europe. The Howard,, the Museum, and the Boston are closed. People have gone out of town in Other droves remain, and every thing but business is driving. Speaking about driving, reminds me of a recent fatal case. A Boston man, named Brackett, made a wager of a SI,OOO that he could drive his horse, Lyon, from Boston to Portland, a distance of 116 miles, between sun and sun. He started on tbe morning of the 28th, drove to within five, miles of Port land two hours ahead of time, when the no ble animal fell dead. The owner claims that he was poisoned While stopping at Sa so, as he had shown no signs of weariness up to the moment before he fell. The race has caused a great deal of indignation here, and the owner of the horse has been scolded tre mendously. But he claims that the horse could have done bis work without trouble if he had not been tampered with. v lota. “Can’t stay Behind my Lord.”— There are many things said against the negro now adays, and it is but right, when it is In our power, to say something in their favor. They all love to go to church. The colored churches in our city are crowded every Sab bath. Iu fact, the negroes, as a race, are re ligiously inclined. We have never,yet heard of an atheist or an infidel among the negroes. And tbe tenacity with which they bold to their religion, is illustrated by an anecdote told by one who had long labored among them. Aunt Nancy was noted for her shouting pro pensity ; but in an evil hour she took a tur key hen belonging to someone else. Tbe next Sabbath she fixed up to go to church as usual, and her mistress asked her ho>v she could have thefhardihoodjto go to church, and take on so, after stealing a9 she had dona. She replied, “La! Miss, do you think I'd give up my blessed Saviour for one old tur key hen? no, never 1? and off she went.— Macon Messenger. A fanning machine, designed to keep off mosquitoes and iumisb comfort generally for patients i9 one of she recent devices of the Sanitary Commission, for use In hospitals. The one in use is worked by a single con valescent, and keeps a whole side of a ward free from fleas, mosquitoes and all buzzing and Doxious insects. A still more efficient machine is being constructed, and no doubt the invention will extend to public and pri vate houses, and wherever people can afford to pay for the luxury of being comfortable. —Tbe “Hermitage, ” the last dwelling place of General Jaokson, is in a very dilapidated condition. It was purchased by the State of Tennessee in 1856 for $48,000. Mrs. A. Jackson, widow of the late, proprietor, has appealed to President Johnson for a perma nent home at the Hermitage. Tbe Presi dent veferred her »application to Governor Brownlow. —The rebel General Dick Taylor, on be ing asked whether the Trans-Mississippi army ought to be surrendered, quickly replied: “Yes, surrender as soon as possible. You are only sitting up with a corpse. I sat up with it until it was blqe, and if you delay much longer it will become too offensive fox decent burial.” Tbe potatoe bug 19 doing a vast amount of damage in lowa.
