We often have complaints from residents of Savan nah and Hilton Head th .t they are not able always to obtain the Puauv The demand is sometimes so great as to ei an Edition very soon af’er its issue, and those who wish tt, have the Herald regularly, sh old Bub°oribe for it. We have faithful carriers in Savannah nd at Hilton Head, and through them we always serve regular subscribers first. THE LATEST INDICATION OF POLICY. The General Order of Major General Steed man, in our last evening edition, is another development of the generous and beneficent policy which the Administration lias adopted in dealing with the reclaimed States. If any thing were wanting to assure the speedy res toration of these States to their old footing, it is the promise conveyed in this Order of non-interference by the military powers sta tioned within them, in the civil government The people are to be allowed to work out for themselves the problem of reconstruction, and are left to be the architects of their own fortunes. Once again have the people of Georgia experienced the bounty of a mag nanimous and trustful authoiity—a power, which, had it desired, could have hound the civil officials, baud and foot, by means of gar rison rule, or, indeed, could have withheld all civil organization from the State, for an indetlnite period. We have uo fear that a . grateful people will abuse the power so free ly and confidently placed in their hands; but we believe that they will take advantage of the opportunity to demonstrate to skeptics throughout the country,, that their voluntary legislation will be as loyal to the interests of the whole country as the sentiments they avow. Gen. Steedman announces that “no inter ference by any person in the military service of the United States with the official acts, orders, or efforts of the Provisional Governor v wdi be permitted.” The language is explicit, and the word of the officer is undoubtedly to be relied ou. But the order goes still fur ther ; not only are the political rights of the - people to be secured to them, but they are also to be defended in their social relations. Gen. Steedman does wisely thus to go to the bottom of the difficulty. No people can feel themselves in a happy condition, even though the wisest-and most liberal rule guards their higher and more remote interests, while they are in the common affairs of daily life ham pered and annoyed by the formalities of petty restrictions. Nor do they acquire a stronger loyalty to the government through the over zealous proselyting of those into contact with whom the accidents of war have thrown them, but who have no other right to give counsel. Nothing could be plainer or sharp er than the words of Gen. Steedman upon •this subject; “All officers of the Department are en joiued to abstain from interfering with the business affairs or social relations of citizens; such interference will not be permitted, aud officers are especially directed not to obtrude upon lamilies, but to confine themselves in ““ their social intercourse strictly to those who seek or invite their society.” In this matter, 113 in the instructions rela tive to the Freedinen atid the poor. General Steedman has shown rare tact and delicacy aa well as wisdom and a thorough apprehen sion of the elements of the problem. Cocrts in Georgia.— Maj. Gen. Steedman, commanding the Department of Georgia, Las given instructions abrogating the system of Couits in this State, under military authoi ity, established by orders from Headquarters De partment of the South. We gave yesterday some appointments of Judges by Gen. Wasli burn ; they are null under this order. No Moke Commissary Whiskey. —An or der of the Secretary of War, just issued, announces that the whiskey ration will no longer be supplied to the troops of tfie United States by the Subsistence Department. The whiskey now on hand will be sold under the orders of the Commissary General of Sub sistence. JJWe are happy to hear that Captain B. W. Tilton, formerly commander of the steamer Delaware, which was lost at the mouth of St. John’s river, is to take charge of the United States steamer Canonicus. Cast. D. S. Leslie, 104th U. S. C. TANARUS., has been announced on the staff of Major Gen. Gillmore, commanding the Department of the South. —A Hilton Head negro, who had learned to read, wishing to give some of his acquain tances who had never seen a book, an idea of it, said: * ’Reading is the power of hearing with the eyes.” . . —A movement is on foot in Italy to canon ize Christopher Columbus, and make him thei patron saint of mariners. ■“Reports from the Lake Superior mining regions give very satisfactory accounts of the progress of copper milling, among the larger mines, and especially in Ontonagon District. ! [communicated.] LET V S HOPE. I doubt not but that a most prosperous fu ture awaits the people of Georgia. Just now there is much gloom aud depression on the minds of native citizens. «It would seem to be well, therefore, to present words of cheer and hope, if we can do so with a good con science. One cause of depression, especially in the towns and cities, is the want of employment aud the inadequate remuneration for such as is furnished. There are probably three or four hundred young men in this city who can fiud no one to employ them. Feeling that their mothers aud sisters greatly need the results of their labor, they are restless aud gloomy. Then, when a lather of a large family gets only from six to twelve dollars per week, and has an increasing house rent to pay, he cannot feel happy. There is, per haps, no greater trial in this world than lor a father and husband to feel that with all his exertions he cannot support his family.— This want of employment arises largely from a want of capital. Buildings, stores and re sidences are needed, aud all sorts of im provements, but there is a deficiency of cap ital But all these embarrassments will yield giadually to the onward march of events The railroads opened, and the productions of the country stimulated, capital will furnish abundant employment. This will occur the more rapidly because the old modes of investments in land and slaves, so universal in Georgia, is now obse iete. The large amouuts realized for cotton will seek investment in buildings, internal improvements and manufactories. The laud proprietors wish no more land. The constant tendency to cut down timber, wear the lands, and move to new countries, will cease. The old saying that “no man Is settled in Georgia” is a thing of the past. Now the farms will be smaller, the lands will be improved, and the farmer will erect tasteful and durable fixtures; throwing around him the comforts and attractions of a permanent home for himself and children. Why should not the South henceforth be as thrifty as the States of the great West ? Have they free labor and public schools ? So henceforth with the South. Does foreign immigration add strength, wealth and pros perity to the West? The stream of immigra tion from Europe will now turn to the sunny and luxuriant South. The lauds are as cheap, andgslayery out of the way, the country is more inviting. The hardy sons aud daughters of the old world will furnish the best servants iu the families ot our cities, ies, and the most efficient laborers and far mers in the country. The health of the South is as good as that of the West, and the staples are more profitable. Slavery was the weakness of the South, and it is best, certainly for the whites, that it should pass away. We argued, prayed and fought to preserve it; but God saw that it was lor our good tyiat we should be disappointed. He moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform, but always and in all things, He doeth well. Georgian. Puoi-KirroßH. Euitok. Brevkt Brio. Gen.

Charleston ami Savannah—Resumption of Regular Steam Packet Communication. We congratulate our citizens ajid the pub lic generally upon the resumption of regular steam packet communication between Charleston and Savannah, via Port Royal, Beautort and Hilton Head. As will be seen in the announcement in our advertising columns this morning, the steamer Fannie, lately purchased by our en terprising fellow-citizen, Capt. John Fergu son, will make the first trip from here to morrow, leaviug Accommodation Wharf at 7|a. m. The Fannie is the pioneer es the new line, to be followed by another fine steamer, which is expected to be ready in about a fortnight. The Fannie is a beautiful light draught ves sel, suitable foi either the inside ur outside route, and cau therefore make her regular trips without special regard to the weather. We may, therefore, expect regular mall com munication by her. She was built for the Mobile trade, just previous to the opening of the war, and afterwards used by her owners for running the blockade. She made several successful trips, but was eventually captured by the blockading squadron off Mobile. The Government then fitted her up for a gunboat, strengthening her with new timbers and giving her a ©omplete outfit at a cost of from thirty to forty thousand dollars. She is provided with anew, powerful walking beam engine specially adapted to these w aters. The Fannie will be under the command of the popular and experienced Captain P. C. Lewis, with the well known Engineers, Messrs. John G. Chalk and Johnson, in charge of the tnachinery. A Deserved Compliment.— The Nashville Union states that up to the present time the greater number of applicants for special par don and amnesty, under the exception clauses of President Johnson’s proclamation, are ex officers of the late Confederate army. And it adds: These men have fought gallantly, endured great hardships aud sufferings, and are fa miliar with the horrors of war. They can appreciate properly the blessings of peace, and are prepared, in good faith and honesty’ to resume their duties and obligations as citi zens. So much confidence had Gen. Sher man in the officers and soldiers of Johnston’s command, after mingling with them subse quent to their surrender, that he would, in case of invasion of the United States, be willing to command them. Tub Great Trial.— ln the conspiracy trial at Washington the number of witnesses subpoenaed for the prosecution was 251.4- Tlie number of witnesses actually examined. 201.

Tile Offense is Rank. ♦ We hold it inexcusable in any person, male or fe male, when they subject us to an annoyance which a very little trouble on their part would obviate. Es pecially is this the case where the unfortunate possess or of a bad breath will persist in button-holding and Intruding his views upon us, to onr manifest mental and physical discomfort. If these good people would use the Sozodo.nt it would not only render them ac ceptable acquaintances, but would at once greatly im prove their teeth and breath. Sold by Druggists and Perfumers.
