Tub Sunken Steamer Gen. Lee. — This
steamer, which now lies sunk in the river a
short distance above the city, is ordered to
be sold forthwith. It will be remembeied
that she was some time ago offered for sale
at auction by Lt. Knowltou, but withdrawu
from sale by orders from Gen. Uillmore.
Orders have now been received from Gen.
Gillmore to put up the Lee lor positive
sale.
The General Lee is but little damaged, her
machinery being entire and in good order.—
She was run on a snag by the pilot in charge
of her at the time, oue George Bell, who has
not since been heard of. The Captain im
mediately put the boat ashore and made her
fast to the bank of the river by means of
lines at bow and stern. During the night the
cross-trees to which tae cables were attach
ed drew out, aud the steamer slipped down
into deep water, where she now lies. It is
believed the steamer Gen. Lee would be a
fine investment for enterprising capitalists.
Bay Stkeet. —This morning a large force
of street-sweepers were placed on Bay street.
The rain yesterday afternoon perforiued the
office of sprinkler admirably ; it proving tar
superior to fire hydrants or sprinkling carts.
All the sewers in the city are now cleansed
out, and the pools lying on the suburbs
which were becoming stagnant have received
a bountiful supply of pure water and will not
require any further attention for 3ome weeks*
After the Shower of yesterday the air
is fresh and bracing, the streets are agaia
clean and free from dust, and eveiy thing
about town appears brighter and animated
with new life. The drays seems to travel
more briskly, business-men pass with faster
wal it, trade is lively, and Bay street wears
the look of a business thoroughfore of New
York City.
Mb. Hudson G. Wolfe, Agent for the far
famed Udolpbo Wolfe, whose medicinal
Schiedam Schnapps is a standard article eve
rywhere, called on us this morning. He is
to leave Savannah to-morrow. He considers
the prospect good for a flourish ing season
this tall in all kinds of business, aud believes
Savannah will soon reach a higher condition
of prosperity than she ever before attained.
Albert Pike has written a letter to the
N. Y r . Express denying that he ever per
mitted the ludians of his command to com
mit the atrocities charged upon them. He
points to the use of Indians in the wars with
England and Spain as justification of em
ploying them in the late war.
New York Banking and Brokers House.
—We call attention to the card of Messrs.
Manning & DeForest, bankers and brokers,
ID Wall street, New York. They attend to
the purchase aud sale of Southern State aud
Railroad Bonds and Coupons. They have
the best of references in this city.
The Savannah River Frontage. —Mr. Phil
ip M. Box, with his corps of assistants, who
have been improving, with wash and brush,
the warehouses and counting rooms fronting
the river, will, in a few days, complete their
work.
Heavy Robbery on Board the Steamer
Leesbuko. — Sir. L. Greenfield of Charleston,
S. G’., was robbed ol a large amoiiut of mo
ney and valuable papers, on the steamer
Leesburg, while en route to Jacksonville,
Fla., from this city a few week 9 since. The
particulars as we gieau them from Mr. Green
field, are a9 follows : A valise coutainiug
$(1,000 in bank notes, mortgages, and State
stock, with about SSO in specie, was placed
in the bold of the steamer at Hilton Head,
and upon arriving at Jacksonville it was uou
est, to the great astonishment ot Mr. Green
field, who immediately instituted a thorough
search of the steamer, but all to no purpose.
Au account book which was in the valise
was shortly afterwards found on the steamer
near the pilot bouse, where the roblier had
evidently thrown it to prevent detection in
case ot a search being made before be could
manage to escape, as well a9 to disarm sus
picion from him, and to east au imputation
upon the officers of the steamer. All persons
are cautioned against purchasing bonds of
the North Eastern Railroad of South Caro
lina, as payment has been stopped.—Repub
lican.
Lord Palmerston. —A London letter-wri
ter says: Lord Palmerston continues in
vigorous health —sometimes taking long rides
on horseback —while as regards his parlia
mentary attendance, early and late, there is
no relaxation of his customary punctuality or
in the terseness or appropriateness of his an
swers whenever any point calls for explana
planation or any attack requires to be re
pelled. This is a great help to the prospects
of his friends and followers in the election
proceedings which are now preliminarily go
ing on in all parts of the country. It has
been announced semi officially that Palia
ment will be dissolved on some day between
the 9th and IL'th of July.
A despatch states that the emigration
across the Plaius this season far exceeds that
of any previous year. During the month of
May 4,000 wagons passed Fort Kearney, and
trains continued to pass that post in large
numbers. The emigrants are bound for Idaho,
Montana, Salt Lake, California, and other
places. Indians had not molested the emi
grants to any noticeable extent, and all the
routes are considered safe. Troops are sta-
Itioned at various posts, and afford ample
f protection to trains.
f' —General Halleck left for the North on
Wednesday night. He sails on the first of
August to assume command on the Pacific
Coast.
A (Taira in Texas.
The latest advices from Galveston repre
sent that city in no flattering aspect. Pover
ty prevails among the people, and canines,
lierelt ot their masters, go about the streets
in uncounted uumliers, and regardless of the
baleful influences of the dog star. There is
a sound of loyalty among the pimple, but
there is a more vehement talk of Stale inde
pendence and of the other wild doctrines
whereby Texas was led into secession. Curs
es deed and loud are leveled at the boastful
generals who swore to defend Texas to
the last drop of blood, and surrendered to
the Federal authorities the next week with
out a blow. From the interior come dread
ful reports of massacre aud violence, the
disbanded soldiers meting out swift ven
geance upon officers w ho lorded it over them
under strict military discipline, and upon
contractors who cared more for their gains
than for the good of the army. Traitors
deck the foregts of the midland counties, and
“trees-on” has anew meaning.
The slaves in Texas are very numerous.
They are largely increased during the war
by coffles sent lorward from the other slave
States, to make broader base of indepen
dence for the new nation that was to rise on
the liorders of the Sabine. General Goidou
Granger, in command of the United Stales
forces at Galveston, has issued an order in
regard to the slaves. He says :
The people ot Texas are iuformed that, in
accordance with the proclamation from the
Executive of the United States, “all slaves
are free.” This involves ail absolute equality
of personal rights and rights of property be
tween former masters and slaves, and
the connection heretofore existing between
them becomes that between employer and
hired laborer. The freedmen are advised to
remain quietly at their present homes and
work for wages. They are informed that
they will not be allowed to collect at military
posts, and that they will not be supported in
idleness either there or elsewhere.
He also declares void all acts ot the Legis
lature of Texas since the ordinance of seces
sion was passed ; summons all civil and
military officers and agents of the late Con
federacy, or of rebel Texas, to report for
f»arole; and demands the delivery of all pub
ic property to the Federal authorities. Those
who fail to comply with this order will be
arrested and sent North.
A New Orleans paper says that a body of
trained and warlike troops, estimated at ten
thousand or twelve thousand, mostly Mis
sourians, who have been rendered homeless
by the destructive effects of the war in their
own State, are marching toward the Mexican
frontier, to enter the service of the Emperor
Maximilian. They are commanded by Gen
eral Shelby, also a Missourian. It is said
that this force is already beyond the reach
of successful pursuit.
Love anti Suicide—•• Truth Stranger than
Fiction.”
We mentioned some weeks ago the
circumstances of the suicide of a young
woman who crossed over by one of
the ferry-boats and drowned herself within
lull view of the crowd of passengers who
were returning by the same boat. It was
also mentioned that the unfortunate young
woman was supposed to have been disap
pointed in love by a man named Antoine
Funkbouser. A strange sequel tp that
ovt-ut occurred yesterday morning in the sui
cide of her lover. It is said the two were
engaged to be married, but that some differ
ence gtew r up between them as to when the
marriage should take place, the girl insisting
ou its early consummation, aud Funkbouser
desiring to postpone it for some time. The
supposition that he was trifling with her af
fections, is believed by many to have been
the cause of her committing suicide. Sub
sequent to her burial he purchased the lot in
cemetery in which she had bt«n interred, and
also one immediately adjoiniug, having the
deed to both made in his own name, and giv
ing directions to have himself buried by the
side of his deceased love after his own de
cease.
On Saturday last, he crossed the river at
the upper ferry in company with two friends,
and called in at the saloon of Abbot and
Robinson, in Venice. After remaining there
a few moments, Funkbouser stepped out of
the saloon, requesting bis friends to remain
until his return. From the saloon he went
to the river, some distance below, and seated
himself on the very log on which his affi
anced sat before throwing herself into the
water. While there he was observed to take
something from his bosom upon which he
appeared to look for some time. After wait
ing in the saloon a considerable time, his
companions started in search of him. On
coming to the log alluded to, they were as
tonished to find his dead body. By its siae
lay the likeness of his deceased affianced.
From appearances it would seem that Funk
houser had gone to the log alluded to, then
took out the likeness, and having taken a
farewell of all that remained to him of her
whom he had loved, opened his shirt bosom
and deliberately shot himself through the
heart! This is one of the most remarkable
love tragedies ou record, whether of fact or
fiction.— St. Louis Republican, July 4.
Exodus in Texas.
A Galveston paper briefly sketches the re
cent career of several ot the secession wor
thies. It says:
Ex-Governor Edward Clark, who as Lieut.
Governor rose iuto office upon the tail of
Gen. Houston’s gown, and then made haste
to take the chair from which Houston was
thrust by the Secession Convention, has fled
the State. Murrah, after one abortive fail
ure, in which he was overtaken and sh&m*-
fully treated by John Barleycorn, fled with
General Shelby. George AL Flournoy, who
made the first out-and-out secession speech
in Texas, and who glorified the horrible as
sassination ot Lincoln, has also gone. Butts
is gone. A. M. Terrell, who, as District
Judge, charged about “moral treason," Las
gone. Handsome Simms, of everybody’s
staff; Elliott, one of Devine’s commission
ers, who found treason in words,; Roberts,
wtio kept the Penitentiary, aud other couuty
jails; Sueed, the fat Provost Marshal; Syu
uert Mussett, his son-in-law, aud many of
the rauk and tile who did the biddings of
provost marshals during the reign of terror
about Austin—all the above-named, and
others of less note, have tied from Austin,
aud what is worse, the treasury was robbed
and the money is gone.
—All the rebel prisoners held by the Gov
ernment have been discharged, with the ex
ception of about one hundred and fifty offi
cers above the rank of Captain. The various
prisoner depots in the North and West are
being broken up, and will at once be put to
other uses.
Th« Reward for and PunUbuient of
. . .
The last Londos S|>ectator, m al
luding to the to the lard for the arrest ot
Davis and others, a : ‘The suppressed
evideuce, even tliougtll prejured, it be
lieved to be honest bae Government, not
only warranted but wired President John
son's proclamation aoffeied reward.’ Ihe
American correspond of the Spectator,
in alluding to the ofous volunteering of
advice to us by certaiEnglishnien, writes :
Let me add one wc to those who are
giving us the advice and admonition upon
this subject to which live before referred.
It is this —that if they afly do not desire
to see Jefferson Davt Aid General Lee
hanged, they will do wA \ cease their en
deavors to teach our Q.v\u nent and our
people what it becomes tA to do in this
matter. Only the other lady in whom
I am somewhat interesteq and who, al
though she looks very like entor or Min
erva, sometimes deems he-ls responsible
for the daily revolution olbe earth upon
its axis, undertook to repro'a strange little
boy who was by, one in win also I am
supposed (but quite roneously, I
assure you) to be interred, began to
fidget and to hop u and down
like a ben on a hot griddle, and
when the lady turned fromher tads he
said, dropping out his wor< with a shy
saucinessjthat relieved them all disrespect
fulness, “Ma—ma, ma—niawhy—don’t —
you—mind—your—own—buuess ? You’re
not that little boy’s raammaand he’ll only
go and do it more?’ Now toe tempted by
impertinent admonition to , r o and do it
more” may be a proof of gut degeneracy,
but still I confess to you thi although we
should pot yield, advice sucks that vve are
now receiving does offer us atemptation or
provocation. You may think,wwever, that
you are this little boy’s manna. Aud the
term “mother country” applii to England
may seem to give some supprt to such an
assumption. A moment’s rffection is not
that of parent and child, butof children of
the same parent. You are alii think, even
those who are most considers, apt to for
get that although as an indepndent politi
cal body this republic is young as a people
we are exactly as old as you as, and with a
wider diffusion among us of tb very civili
zation of which you are justljriroud. And
1 would say briefly to those gutlemen who
are now endeavoring to teaebus liumauity
and what is for our interest, tat we do not
regard them as at all in a propr position to
assume the office of mentor to his people.—
We think that the events of the last four
years have showu that we ruderstand our
affairs and our interests sonewhat better
than the gentlemen in ques ipn ; anti as to
humanity showu in tenderness to rebels, our
memories are not so short but that we know
whare to turn for some conspicuous exam
amples, to which they straugtjy refrain from
pointing.
A Tragic Play.— ln the course of an article
called “The Drama under Canvass,” occurs
this fine dramatic description :
By half-past twelve we had succeeded in
getting a “house.” (A curious superstition
prevailed among this savage tribe. It was
deemed unlucky to take “first money” from
a man who squinted or had red hair. A
3 roman was reckoned almost as bad. A
ark man was thougnt a lucky first custo
mer and a chimney sweeper doubly so.)
Our tragedy, the Sanguinary Demon of
the Haunted Dell, had neither head nor tail,
being originally a long-winded, three-act
blood-aud-thunder melo-drama, converted
for “the nonce" into a sketchy piece. There
was much energetic bawling, a good deal of
shrieking and fainting on the part of the he
roine, a combat between the virtuous juvenile
hero and his rival, the “tber-r-rice ac-curs-ed
hoary villain,” who expiated an unparalleled
heap ot crimes by dashing himself headlong
from his castle turret into the raging tor
rent beneath. His myrmidons (three less
deeply dyed ruffians) fought a curious
combat of four wilh the lovely and gen
tle (though strong armed) lady of the Dell,
who quickly overcame them, and bestowed
her hand and vast domains upon her youth
ful knight, in response to his persuasive,
“Come’ my Hisabllcr—come to linen’s Hal
ter.” The phantom of some female ancestor,
enveloped in voluminous folds of white mus
lin, and holding on high the butter boat lamp
and bloody dagger, without which no melo
dramatic ghost is genuine, blessed the nup
tials ; the actors rushed on, a grand tableau
of happiness was formed, and plenty of red
fire threw its expensive radiance on the im
posing scene. Hardly had the act-drop
touched the floor when billy Billy in
hot haste, ran on and sang a stupid song.
Uncle Sam’s Colored Defenders in Luck.
Seventy-five thousand dollars in gold was
Sunday last from a cellar in Union
City, Ky., by a squad of negro troops from
Columbus. The boys returned to Columbus
in tine spirits, anticipating a glorious Fourth,
but were too lavish with the precious metal,
and, finding it inconvenient to carry, offered
it at a ruinous discount in exchange for
greenbacks. When they were required to
give an explanation for the sudden decline in
coin which but so receutly commanded a
high premium, they were arrested by their
commander and some five hundred dollars of
the gold recovered. It is said they were
then tied up by the thumbs and otherwise
punished, but so far as learned, refused to
give satisfactory information as to the de
posit ion made of the remaining portion.
Southern Personals. —Ex-Governor Vance
was released from the Old Capitol Prison on
parole yesterday, and is to return to North
Carolina. General Bragg has gone to New
Orleans. The Picayune, in alluding to his
arrival there says: “Like all the Generals of
Confederate Army, he renognizesithe march
of events, and is only ambitious now to re
tire, as before the war, and fulfill the duties
of an American citizen.” Lieutenant Mau
ry has turned up in the City of Mexico, where
he is reported as living in quiet. Pierre
Soule likewise migrated with liis family to
the same place some time since, and has
now opened a law office.—./V. Y. Commercial
Advertiser.
—The Secretary of the Treasury has pro
duced reliable estimates of the quantity of

Partial returns of the quantity of cot
ton East of the Mississippi have been receiv- -
ed, from which an estimate somewhat e x
ceeding a million bales has been made. The
Secretary is reported to be confident that the
effect from exchanges of the vast value re
presented by this cotton will aid his efforts
to restore the currency to a sound basis.

From the torelgn correspondence of the
New York Herald we take the following in
teresting items;
The Princess of Wales is almost quite re
covered, and the young Prince is strong and
lusty. The Prince of Wales, it is reported,
in suite of the addition to his allowance giv
en to him by the Queen from her Majesty s
privy purse, has found that, owing to the
immense extra expenses thrown on him by
his having all the representation to do tor the
Oueen, his income is much too small tor his
want 9. His Royal Highness will thus have
to apply for an increase to the new Parlia
ment: He has already about one hundred
and silty thousand pounds sterling a year.
I perceive that the Owl is often quoted in
America. It is not a paper of any weight.
It is the property of a few dandies, is quoted
by the Times from a spirit of flunkeyism,
but is not read or believed in byany one.
How can it lie otherwise with the Hon. Mrs.
Norton for its acting editress and the Hon.
Evelyn Ashley, who, though Lord Palmer
ston’s private secretary, is so only because he
is Lady Palmerston’s grandson, for its great
contributor. W r ith the exception of Viscount
Strangford, who is a man of great talent,
there is not one writer in the Owl who can
claim more than smartness and the insolence
which position too often gives to mediocrity.
The Parisian public i9 at length brought to
a “realizing sense” ol the fact that Pati9 is
on “a strike.” Yesterday not a solitary
“ voiture de jilave" was seen in the streets, the
drivers having all struck for an increase of
wages from three francs to five. All the car
riages in Paris which ply for lure, and o
which there arc about six thousand, Delong
to a company, which has a monopoly of this
mode of conveyance. The carriages are di
vided into two classes—the “ventures de
place ” and the “ voitnres de remise.” The tor
mer stand upon the streets, at stations ap
propriated to them, while t.he latter, which
are of a little better class, stand under cover
and in the court yards of the hotels, charg
ing a little higher price than the others
You cau imagine the effect ot taking oft the
streets all these popular conveyances. At
the railway stations particularly the hardship
was felt, and many a burly islauder arriving
in Paris by the “ Shemang de fare du Nor ”
cursed the country as he shouldered his own
valise and made his way to a hotel near by.
To-morrow, it is said, the “ remises” will
strike unless the company increase the wages
lof the drivers, and then there will be left
only the omnibuses. But the omnibus drivers
also threaten a strike, and it is by no means
improbable that on Sunday next all Paris
will be left on foot.
Abd-el-Kader, with bis three wives, a num
ber of his children and a suite of thirty per
sons, is to arrive in Paris on the 25th. Apart
ments are being prepared for the party in the
right wing of the Elysee, on the Faubourg
St. Houore. A chapel in which the Mussul
man rites will be performed is being fitted
up. The Emir will remain here about three
months, and will undoubtedly be the lion of
the season.
At the ball given by the Empress Regent
at the Tuilleries on evening last,
about twenty American ladies and gentle
men mingled in the gay throng which sur
rounded her Majesty. The invitation of
foreigners to these balls ot the Empress is
very unusual, and on the evening in ques
tion none of any other nation than the Uni
ted States were present. This i9 considered
here a very high compliment to your minis
ter aud the nation which he represents. Mr.
Bigelow was, I understand, requested to
seud in a list of ladies and gentlemen whom
he could endorse, and upou doing so, very
much to his surprise, he received invitations
ter all whose names were forwarded. The
only gentleman from seeessia present was
Air. Eustis, Secretary of the defunct “Con
federate legation.” The palm of beauty was
born off by oue of your fair countrywomen,
Alr9. W. H. A—u—ll, of New York. Alter
the presentation of this lady to the Empress,
she conversed with her for some time. Her
Alajesty expressed her thanks to Mr. Bige
low for presenting her “such a beautiful
woman."
It is now said that the Emperor will be
back in Paris in the early part of next week.
His “cher cousin ,” the Prince Napoleon, will,
it is said, meet him at Toulon. The Prince
is said to have received two long letters re
cently from his royal father-in-law, recom
mending him to acknowledge his error and
“make up” with his Alajesty, and this ad
vice the Prince has undoubtedly received
from many of bis friends in Paris. The Em
peror and Empress, after the return of- the
former, will go to Fontainbleau, and follow
this up by tbeir regular summer trip.
A newspaper, to he published in the Eng
lish language, is shortly to be started in Flor
ence, under the name ot The Times.
Black hair for ladies is now out of fash
ion iu Paris, and red hair is in fashion ; there
fore, Ist Mode Jl/ustree well says that this is
the hour of vengeance for women with red
hair, who have so long been considered “the
disinherited children of nature.” It is their
turn to be triumphant, and to watch dark
haired women imploring the chemist to take
the black out ot their locks, and to make
them like their once despised sisters.
—lt is proposed to erect a magnificent
bridge over the Potomac at W asliington, a9
a monument to the late President. It will
be called the “Lincoln Bridge,” and a col
lossal statue of our martyred magistrate will
lie placed either in the centre or at one end ol
the structure. Bus reliefs of events in Abra
ham Lincoln's life will adorn the parapet of
the bridge.
—Passing along the street a few days ago,
