The Savannah Daily Herald. WEDNESDAY, JULY !)8, 1863. FROM OI K EVENING EDITION OF YESTERDAY. The Brazil Emigration - Movement. —We understand that the movement of organizing a colony of refugees from the South for emi gration to Brazil, South America, is rapidly assuming a definite shape. We learn that over two thousand persons, comprising many of the leading statesmen, clergymen and families of the Southern States, have already signified their intention of joining themselves to the colony. A day or two since two gen tlemen arrived in this city from Florida, on their wav to New York ami Rio, Janeiro, whose purpose it is to visit Brazil with the powers of a committee, to hold a conference with the Emperor of Brazil, and to select a site for the settlement of the colony. New Postal Arrangements. —Mr. A. L. Harris, the able and iudustrious special Agent of the P. O. Department, has made arrangements to send mails regularly to Charleston and the interior of South Caro lina ; also to Augusta, Macon, Atlanta and other interior points; and southward to Darien, Jacksonville, Fernandina, Tallahas see, Fla., and many other points in that dis trict. Honorary Degree Conferred on Gen. Meade. —At the commencement exercises of Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass., the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was con fened upon Major (Jen. George Gordon Meade, of the U. S. Army. LETTER PROM NEW YORK. Mew July 19. Captured Cotton Claims. A great many persons from the South, from whom cotton and other products of insurrectionary soil have been captured by tbe military arm of tbe Government as prize of war, having filed with the Hon. Simeon Draper, U. S. Cotton Agent, claims for this property or its products, Mr. Draper ad dressed the Secretary of the Treasury for in structions in regard to tbe disposal of these claims. On the 17th an answer was return ed by Mr. McCulloch. The Attorney Gen eral being of opinion that the Treasury De partment has no power to adjudicate claims for proceeds of property captured or turned over to its agents by the military authorities, the Secretary thinks that claimants had bet ter withdraw their papers, and present them to the Court of Claims as provided by the act f>i Congress, approved March 12, 1863. This seems to be the proper course. The proceeds of this class of property are now paid directly into the Treasury, *and funds for reimbursing those entitled to reclamation must first be appropriated for that purpose by act ol Congress. Jupiter Pluvius rather got ahead of things “down in Jersey” and in and aronnd Philadelphia. The floodwas quite severe,and many impromtu boating ex cursions and swimming matches were found to be a necessity. Along the Raritan river great damage was done to fences and small farms—the lower part of New - Brunswick City was submerged ; portions of railroad track were washed away, turnpikes were demolished, and for once wate." -yvas supreme in the home of what is known as “Jersey Lightning.” However, it lasted only about a day, when the clouds cleared and the sun came out, the wet places soon after obeying . the scriptural injunction to “dry up.” General Hooker. Borne time since the committee on the conduct of the war set about iuvestiga ting the Chancellorsville affair, in which Gen. Hooker failed so signally to hold the position he had gained by one of the energetic move ments so characteristic of that General. — Among the causes attributed as the cause of the failure, was the charge of intoxication on the part of the - General. This charge the committee examined thoroughly, taking the testimony of every General in the army, and it was emphatically refuted, notone of them, under oath, iping able to swear they had seen the General inebriated. Still the'com mittee having learned Rev. Henry Ward Sieecher had, while in Europe, iu a speech elivered to a party of Englishmen friendly to this country, denounced Gen. Hooker as a drunkard, called on him to appear before the committee and testily to what he knew on the subject. Mr. Beecher paid no attention whatever to the summons. The committee met again and again, called on Mr. Beecher to come forward like a man and tell what he knew ; this time this holy man of truth and morality wrote a letter to the committee in which he said his charge was made in pri vate to a private party, and in confidence, with the understanding that it was not to be made public. And he added: As to any evidence, it was such as to produce moral conviction but not to establish the fact legally, that during the latter pifft of the battle of. Chancellorville, Hooker was under the in fluence of liquor. Ido not feel at liberty to mention my informant until I can see him and get his permission. The' committee were so disgusted with this response that they let it stand there, ‘Tor the public,’’ as they say “to decide upon.” Comment is unnecessary? As to the failure at Chancel lorsville it may be well to remark, the com mittee report that Halleck, then General-in- Chief, failed in his duty to support Hooker as he should have done. The Want# ot Society are, indeed, many, and, as we are aIV aware, must be supplied. All know that we all help cue another—that, in fact, communities can not dispense with bankers, merchants, pro fessional men, artists, mechanics, farmers, * laborers, peddlars, &c. An illustration occur red in the editorial rooms of one of our lead ing journals the other day. A pop-corn ped dlar, a large, athletic fellow, entered with a basket heaping full of the calcalerealised chrystalliginous frothy luxury and offered it to one of the editors, who, by the way, is a great utilitariau, a man who cannot see any thing go to waste, and especially physical capacity. He surveyed the athletic pop-corn peddlar from head to foot, and then said: “My friend, this is no business for you to fol low. A great strapping fellow' like you ought to be out on a farm working.” The peddlar looked down upon the editor with a countenance which plainly showed that he felt both pity and contempt for him. At. length he drawled out: “What would the people do for pop-oorn, then ?** The /editor had no reply to make, but turned to his desk and resumed bis work. The Mary Harris Case is having its effects throughout the country. Since this case has been betore the*public several others of a similar nature have oc curred, all undoubtedly the growth ot a hasty expression of sympathy for some poor, weak minded and erring girl, who has been shame fully treated by some heartless wretch. A case occurred in Brooklyn on the 18th, in which a policeman uarrowly escaped losing his life, simply for discarding a girl agaiust Whom there was damaging talk. Instead of proving her innocence to her lover, or con scious of her innocence, leaving her over credulous lover to take his course, she re- Bolved upon taking hi 9 life, and fired two in effectual shots at him. That this girl deserves punishment as much a9 any man who uses deadly weapons, except in defence of his life, no reasonable mind will deny ; yet do doubt there will be found many who will sympathise with the girl, simply because she is a girl. The Perfection Burglars have attained in tbeir profession is really astonishing. One of the latest per formances of this class of scientific thieves occurred in Brooklyn. A policeman observing a light in a house late at night, suspected bur glars were at work, and on going to the front door found it opeu. He entered, and was im mediately confronted by two men, one of whom, without warning, tired a double-barrel ed pistol at the orfleer, both shots taking effect in his coat collar. They then ran, the officer pursuing to the yard and over the fences. Another officer joined in the pursuit, and they were caught. 8o much to show the des perate character of the thieves. They were confined in separate cells in the Station House, and iu the morning the cell of one of them was found empty; a large hole (also empty) was discovered in the wall through which the burglar bad made his exit. When the prisoner was put in the cell, he was thoroughly searched and deprived of everything that would enable him to escape, and yet he found means to make a hole in sold masonry capable of admitting his body through it. His egress wts discovered so soon that he had not yet got out of the build ing, nnd was found secreted beneath some lumber. Upon examination, it was found he had dug the hole In the wall with his hands alone! Cotton. The importation of cotton from the lately closed Southern port 9 into this during the past three days has been very heavy.— The largest single lot was one of 11,312 bales of damaged iom Port Royal. The total amount is 17,461 bales up to noon to-day, as follows : From Bales. New Orleans 4,199 SaVannah 1,101 Charleston 123 Port Royal .-. v ... 11,312 Newbern. N. C 526 Wilmington 204 Total , 17,464 The object of this large, arrival, and the fact that much more is soon expected h»9 caused a recession in price from 52 to 48 cents. FIRE AT GEORGETOWN. iHeavy Logs for Savannah Men hunU The Macon Telegraph of the 17th has tne following: We learn that a fire occurred in a ware house at Georgetown, on the South Western railroad, yesterday, destroying from 1800 to 2000 bales of cotton. Our townsmen, Messrs. Ros 9 <fc Seymour, we are told, were heavy losers by the tire. It is said to have origina ted from the attempt of a negro to smoke out a wasp nest. « P. S. Since writing the above we have re ceived the following: Edfaula, July 17, 1865. Mr. Editor: Morris’ warehouse, in Georgetown, opposite here, was burned on last Saturday, and fifteen hundred bales of cotton consumed. The fire originated in the carelessness of a negro who carried fire on the lot tor the purpose of destroying a nest of yellow-jackets. The loss falls very heavy in . Savannah, as much of the cotton, it is said, was owned by her citizens. The Eastern Bank of Ala bama was also a considerable loser—no insu rance. The flames spread with such rapid ity that not a bale was saved. The Treatment of Confederate Soldier# by the Government. A letter from Atlanta to the Macon Tele graph has the following: But before I close, I can’t help but remark that it must be a matter of gratitude as well as surprise, lor our people to see a govern ment which was lately flghtiug us with fire, 3word and shot, now generously feeding our poor and distressed. In the immense crowds which throng the distributing house, Ino tice the mothers and fathers and widows and orphans ot our Boldiers, who fought nobly— and how sadly—too often to the death of our loved South. Again, the Confederate soldier with one leg or one arm,.the crippled, maim ed and broken, and the worn and destitute men, who fought bravely their enemies then, their benefactors now, have their sacks filled and are fed. There is much in this that takes away the bitter sting and sorrow of the past. There is more than humanity in it, on the Dart of the provider, and the generous conduct will go farther to heal the wounds of the nation, than all the diplomacy and political policy of tricksters aud office seekers during centuries to come. As the expressions of a soldier who has fought the battles of the Confederacy during its ephemeral existence, your readers and my friends will receive these particulars in the spirit they have been conceived and ut tered, a spirit which means that to become a faithful citizen of thie country, to which we owe trno and proper allegiance at this mo ment, is our great and lawful duty. —Madame Kossuth, the wife of the fa mous Hungarian leader, has died at Genoa, after a ten year’s illness. , —Mrs. Livingstone, the aged mother of Dr. Livingstone, the African traveler, died in Scotland on the 18th of June. —The “New Gospel of Peace” was writ ten by Richard Grant White, the editor of Shakspeare.
