The Savannah Daily Herald. »’KIOAY, JULY »8, 1865. FROM OUR EVENING EDITION OP YESTERDAY. ■ ' ■lEi.-E-H-W ’. . . J '"J ■ \-jn HEALTH OF SATAKKAH. The city continues in the enjoyment of un interrupted health. There are no indications ot an epidemic. Wc bare beard of but one case of insulated or sporadic yellow fever, a form of this disease that appears in the most healthy seasons. -The unusual prevalence of heat and moisture, whatever auguries they may afford unfavorable to general health are in no way connected, as cause and effect, with yellow fever. Long observation has satisfied us that this destructive epidemic has had for its antecedents both dry seasons and wet seasons, and different degrees of solar heat, within certain limits. Wc do not intend to inflict on our readers a discussion on that hacknicd theme—the origin of yellow fever, but there are two classes of preventive measures which are founded on the two opposite tl e wies of im portation and domestic or local origin, which is necessary to an intelligent understanding of the Hygiene of our Southern cities, i. e. sanitary regulations and quarantine. First, as to the former, Savannah has pe culiar facilities for the preservation of Health. Having Alleyways running parallel with her etreu’s she has outlets for the filth that accu mulates in her yards, while she has numer ous water ways, affording an ample supply of water. It requires therefore only ordinary care to secure cleanliness. Savannah, although within what is called the yellow fever zone Is less subject, than any southern city to periodic attacks of that dis ease. New Orleans is visited by it nearly every year. So is Charleston, whereas Sa vauuah has had long intervals of its absence. There have been only two destructive yellow fever epidemics in forty-five years, one in 1820 and another in 1354. Under all these circumstances we do not think that apprehension need be entertained on the subject by the unacclimated. % General Sewi, — l The Great German Saengeifast held a» New York, closed on the evening of the 21st, with a grand picnic at Lion Park. The Saengerl’est is said to have been the greatest musical festival ever witnessed in New York city. | —The Rt. Rev. Alonzo Porter, D. D., L. L. died in San Francisco on the 4th instaut. —Twenty tribes of Indians recently assem bled iu the Chickasaw country, to take mea sures concerning an application to the Gov ernment for pardon and restoration of for feited rights. —Washington is again crowded with of fice-seekers. —John T. Ford, proprietor of Ford's Theatre, Washington, is said to be about to commence a suit against Secretary Stanton, for retaining an unlawful possession of his theatre. —Gov. Brough of Ohio was at last accounts lying at the point of death. —The Confederate General Roddy had ar rived at Cario on his way to Washington, having applied for pardon. —The official organ of the Emperor Maxi milian denies that any shade of authority as to emigration has ever been given to Doctor Gwin. ™ 1 The Amnesty Oath.— An official circular from Major General Thomas, commanding the Military Division of the Tennesse, ap pears in auother column. Fall and explicit instructions fpr officers appointed to admin ister the Amnesty Oath will be found in the circular, as well as directions for the guid ance of applicants. We commend a peru sal of this circular to all interested. The Burning of Richmond^—Letter of Gen. Ewell. —The Richmond Republic of the 28cl ult, publishes a letter from Ewell, written at Fort Wsrren, denying that he was responsible for the burning of Richmond.— We give it below: Remember bow hard I tried to organize a constabulary force iu Richmond. I knew nothing ot the firing of the arsenal or cut tiug ot the engine’ hose. These were the work of unauthorized persons or incendia*. ries. I had no force to stop the plundering which was going on ali night. I made cour iers and policemen of my staff, trying to pre vent disorder and violence. Several fires were kindled before we left, and an attempt to barn Mayo’s bridge frustrated by the dar ing of the engineer officers, who, at great risk, removed burning canal boats from uuder it. What I did was m obedience to positive orders that had been given me. Looking, with Gen. Kershaw, toward Richmond, we saw building after building, at a distance from the river, ignite, evidently set on tire. I feel this matter very deeply. I see myself un justly blamed. I did not exceed, but fell short of my instructions. Yours, R. S. Ewell. —A movement is on foot in Pennsylvania to provide a home for disabled soldiers and their orphans. It contemplates the purchase of several hundred acres ot land at some suitable locality for light agricultural pur suits, provided with work-shops, schoolhouse and church, where our brave defenders who have been disabled can enjoy the comforts of a home. ■—lt is reported in London that John Mitchell was the author of several of the letters Irom Richmond, written during the rebellion, and full of falsehood, jvhich were published in the London Times. LETTER FROM NEW YORK. New York, July 21, 1865. One Regiment an Hour. Is about the average|number which daily has passed the headquarters of you? correspon dent. The sight Is cheering and pleasant and convinces those of us who are located on Broadway, that the war is really over. Albeit the scene is about the only thing that reminds us of the fact—for goods of all kinds at present seem to be kept at the same prices, the grasping speculators run them up to when Sherman was hundreds of miles from Savannah, and Grs-ol bad not finally “moved upon the enemy’s works. ” The tattered flags go by; now and then a grateful breeze shak ing out their rags to an appreciating public, and the boys feel more pleased to hear New York’s welcoming “Hi— hi, ’’than the sharp war cry they have been in the habit of listen ing to in a more Southern location. All sorts if regiments march by here—some with only a hundred oi so of men With a couple of drums and fifes, under command of a cap tain, others varying Irom two hundred to six hundred, with lull line and field officers—but they all look happy notwitstanding our Broadway sun seems to be partially violent and the sweat pours off them in floods. No wonder the darkey asked “if there were any more Yankees in, dis world,” for The Saugerfest is over, and the Teutonic portion of our community are beginning to think of again attending to their regular business next week. They will prolong the “fest” on their own hook during to-day and to-mor row, tapering off with lighter draughts of their Gambrinu s liquid than those they have quaffed in honor of their guests for the last six days. There has been lager enough drank the past week to have Hooded Broad way irom 14th street to Bo w ling Green— some twenty thousand kegs having been emptied. How they managed to sing so splendidly with so much liquid inside of them is a mystery to some physiologists. An Overhauling of affairs in the Brooklyn Navy Yard < among the mechanics has brought to light how some of tlie “bosses” obtain such magnificent fur niture for their residences. A couple of cabinet-makers testify to .having worked a year on elegantly carved black walnut secre taries, buffets, tool-chests, etc., all the while drawing pay from Uncle Sam, whose tools and wood were used. The whole arrange ment .has been “busted up." Dan Sickles will probably be the commander of this city and uarbor under Gen. Hooker, and his ap pointment will be one of the most satisfac tory ever made here. The announcement will probab% be made in a few days, when “Dan" can enjoy the comforts of his elegant home on the Bloomingdale road. A Removal for friendliness to the United States took place this week at Montreal, which is wor thy of note. It appears that Mr. O. S. Wood, the Superintendent ot the Montreal Telegraph line, wrote a letter to one of the Montreal delegates to the Detroit Conven tion, advocating certain measures, the dele gate taklug occasion to read it to the Con vention. The letter gave great offence to certain members from Canada, who insisted on knowing the name of the author, which was finally imparted to them. Among the delegates were quite a number ot ossifica tions whose ire was terribly aroused against Mr. Wood for favoring the projected annexa tion of Canada to the United States, and who are prominent stockholders and directors of the Montreal Telegraph line. These fellows on their return to Montreal, immediately caused Mr. Wood’s removal from the Super intendeucy, and thus they “have their re venge” on a gentleman whose position they will find it difficult to fill. The facts have created quite a little breeze among the New Y ork stockholders. Strikes are non-paying affairs lately, and this fact has been fully illustrated the past fortnight by the result of that of the street cleaners.— They imagined they could do what they pleased—smashed the heads of a few of the men, broke down some of the new wagons of tbe contractors, cut the throats of a half dozen horses, and then held a couple of mass meetings, famous for threats, froth, whiskey and impotent rage. It is needless to say that the new street contractors have applica tions tor work from double the number of men they need, and thus the bullying fel lows, who thought the world would stop re volving when they dropped their 9hovelsand brooms, find that they are not half so impor tant to the existence of this metropolis as they thought. FeuilUtonlsts of the bifalutin order are in demand in this city on our leading journals. George Alfred, the King of Scribendular Imaginatives, in his accounts and word-painted descriptions of the assassination trial, and of nigger ball room scenes at the Five Points, printed in the World, has set the other “heavies’’ agog, aud they ail took occasion at the “ Barnum fire," when George Alfred was out of town, to draw on their imaginations to an unlimited extent, the results being a series of the most agonisingly distended, atrociously grotesque, and Munchausenly graphic descriptions of hair-breadth escapes, tiger fights, anaconda encounters, and lion raid 9 that ever were set to type. The la9t effort was that emanating from tbe fertile brain and versatile pen of a new hand at the bellows in the Tribune office, devoted to the pleasurable sensations he ex perienced while viewing tne adiposeancles of a thousand Dutch girls at the Saugerfe&t. Hotel Extension has become one of the roost noted institu tions of this city, and so impudent and brazen is it, that it is simply disgusting. Hotels there are without number, and so tar as known, there aro no exceptions. What a line opportunity is there here for a conscien tous man, wbQ kpows how to keep a Hotel— if such a biped csn be fpqqd ipqur land. Let such open ft good bouse, and keep it qp as it should be maintained; with moderate and reasonable prices, and no gold mine would yield as well. But he must not charge tor meals not eaten, nor compel paymeut for bath rooms not used. A few days sjqce g guest had paid an enormous bill tor himself and wife, but concluded to stay to dinner as tlie cars did not leave as early as they sup posed. Upon paying lor these two meals he tound himself charged eight dollars! London has for years been imposed upon in like man ner, Until the first people of the city have formed an association and erected a hotel which throws all others into the shade, charging such low rates that the swindling of the other establishments is shown to be of the most disgraceful character. Tlifc Dunderberg. The great ocean iron-clad frigate ram Dun derberg, built by W. H. Webb, Esq., at New York, was to have been launched on the 22d inst. The New York World devotes a whole side of the paper to a description of the Dun derberg, interspersed with explanatory cuts. We condense the following : The reputation of her builder, which is without a parallel either here or in Europe, leads us to write with much confidence as to the performance of this vessel. The records of the past justify us in the assertion that what he promises he performs. We have only to point to the General Admiral, built for the Russian navy ; the Harriet Lane, for our revenue marine, and the two iron-cased frigates constructed for the Italians, to sub stantiate our prophetic writings. Each of these great ships are the admiration of all connoisseurs, and are not only very valuable -vessels, but a credit to us as Americans. Re cent events have emphatically sustained the soundness of the principles long since laid down by naval officers, both in tn's country aud Europe, that speed and weight of arma ment are equally as essential as invulnera bility, which the English experiments at Shoeburyness, and our own experience in the attack upon Fort Sumter, have fully proved is practically unattainable against 15- inch guns and Armstrong 600-pounders. To meet both these requirements has been Mr. Webb's object in laying our. the plans for the Dunderberg, and her displacement of over seven thousand tons will leave her one of the most buoyant vessels of the navy. The Dunderberg has been built under the general superintendence of Rear-Admiral F. H. Gregory, U. S. N. GENERAL PLAN OP TUB VESSEL. While due care has been taken by Mr Webb to render the Dunderberg sate in a heavy sea-way, she being- intended for a sea-going vessel, and resistless in attack, he has by no means lost sight of the prime necessity of offering the utmost resistance to the missiles of an enemy. For this end the advantages of an angular surface to receive the enemy’s fi.e has been combined with a great mass of tim ber and the protective power of 4 1-2 inch sold armor plating. In general appearances she will resemble, when afloat, a huge fort embrasured lor a score of the heaviest ord nance yet placed upon the deck of any vessel. THE HULL. The hull of the Dunderberg contains sev eral thousand feet of solid timber of the finest quality and choicest selectfcm. The bottom is flat, the Sides angular, extremely sharp, and surmounted by a casemate in wuich are to be placed sixteen guus, althougu it is pierced for twenty-one. The hull is built iu layers of square logs, securely bolted togeth er, leaving no opeuiugs between them, and is caulked inside as well as outside. This massive structure is strongly trussed with diagonal braces of iron fastened inside of the solid frame, securely strengthening her, and in such a manner that it seems almost im possible that she could be damaged by any ordinary disaster. The hull is three hun dred aud eighty feet lour inches in extreme length, ana seventy-two feet ten inches ex treme beam. The main hold sis twenty-two feet seven and a half inches iu depth. Her tonnage is set dowu by naval authorities iu the register as 5,060 tons. BULKHEADS. Bulkheads in vessels are partitions which divide the lower part into sections, and are used for the purposes of strength and pro tection against the results of stranding or in jury by ramming or shot which would cause the vessel to lean. The arrangement of the Dunderberg’s bulkheads are such that she may properly be described as a double ves sel, one being built inside the other. The outer vessel destroyed or rather seriously in jured aud the inner one would be apt to bouy up the mass. The bulkheads run longitudi nally as well as trausverse ly, inclosing the engines, and at the same time furnishing a du ple space for the coal-bunkers, whicb, when tilled with coal, give additional security to the engines and boilers against shot or the stroke of a ram driven in by the enemy, if she could do such a thing. The precautions taken to render the vessel invulnerable seem complete in every respect, and designed with a view to accomplish the greatest results if they should ever be tested to their full ex tent. the ram. The ram is perhaps the feature of the Dun derberg, and wili attract general observation and comment. It is an instrument which has been adopted within the past few years for the purpose of with one fell swoop and crash to blot out the existence of an antagonist against whose sides it might be brought to act. Its very name carries with it a dread not easily to be portrayed or even imagined. It is a terrible instrument when well directed and driven with requisite force. The ram of the Dunderberg is a portion of the ship it self, and is not bolted on or secured as is usual in most vessels intended for ramming purposes. It is the bow of the vessel fash ioned into a huge beak. To form this ram the vessel is a solid mass ot timber from her stem, extending back fifty feet, rendering it impossible for any shock to break it off and thus endanger the vessel. This ram is ar mored with a wrought-iron jacket or front piece to protect it not only from shot but from abrasion in contact. THE FLANKING AND ARMOR CUSHION. The planking on the outer hull is five in ches in thickness. Outside of the outer plgpkipg is the covering of logs, composed of mauy courses. This commences at noth ing aud widens put at the top to seven feet, so that at the bilge it is three feet, and at the water line six feet in thickness. On the cushion, which is filled in solid, is placed the armor. . THE ARMOR. The iron armor, required for the Ouuder befg will be about one thousand tons. About one-half, pr five hundred tons, is already in its position on tl)e ship. The side-armor is of the best hammered iron, manufactured into slabs, from twelve to fifteen feet in length, by three feet in width. These plates are three ancj a hall inches, and are screw bolted to the arnior cushion bv ope and a balf inch bolts. The plates are placed ver tically, and not horizontically, as is the case with the iron-clad vessels of Europe. The armor which covers the casemate is four and a half in thickness, and is also placed vertically on the sloping sides, and is screw-bolted with one and a half inch bolts, which enter the wood-work to the depth of eighteen inches, none of these fastenings passing through the sides ; so there will be no nuts or bolts flying about the deck in ac tion. These slabs are twenty-eight inches in width, and are over eight feet in height. The armor iron used is the best quality that the market affords, and will be put in posi tion with a nicety and care hitherto not reached in this kind of work. The top of the casemate will have a light bomb-proof armor. The main deck outside the casemate will be covered with thick armor, and will be secured to the deck by three-quarter inch bolts with counter-snnk heads. The armor will extend out over the shelf which serves as a protection to the screw and to the rud ders. THE CASEMATE. The casemate or fighting room of the Dun derberg surmounts her enormous bull, and is, iudeed, a tower of strength. It is con structed of square logs, each ope foot in thickness, and is built up to the height of seven feet in the clear, and covered over with ' a bomb-proof deck, on which it was origin ally intended to place two turrets similar to those in use on board of the monitors. The casemate will contain twelve to fourteen eleven-inch Dablgren, and four fifteen-inch Rodman smooth-bore guns; making it the heaviest armament of its number ever placed on the deck of any vessel. The Dunderberg contract price was one million four hundred thousand dollars—the same as the Dictator, wbich carries only two fifteen-inch guns. The Dunderberg has double the number of fifteen-iuch guns, and twelve or fourteen (as the case may be) more eleven-inch guns than the great ocean ram of the monitor style. The hull of the vessel from below the wa ter line rises up to the gunwale at an angle of about thirty-five degtees, when it joins the casemate, which inclines inward, at an angle of about fifty-five degrees. Tnis it is, expected will “shed” shot with perfect ease aud certainty. The after part of the case mate will be fitted up as a cabin for the com manding officer, and as is usual in war ves sels tbe bulkhead can be taken down in ac tion, leaving the deck clear and uninterrupt ed its entire length. What the Northern Soldiers Think. ( Tbe N. O. Tine Delta compiles the follow ing from its correspondence: THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE QUESTION. It is the very general impression here that all apprehensions on the negro suffrage ques tion will soon be set to permanent re9t by the soldiers of Grant’s armies, who having been down South, and now returning by thous ands upon thousands to their homes, may be con sidled to know all about the propriety of the negro being permitted the right te jvote. These soldiers understand precisely what the negro can do if set to work and closely look ed after, as well as what a white man will do- When it comes to voting it i3 serenely apprehended that these soldiers will smile from both ends of the mouth at the idea of Mr. Chase or Mr. Greeley, who, having en joyed four flush years of home comfort and security, coming forward now to teach men and veterans who have known four years of war and the what a negro is and what his capacities are. SENTIMENTS OF THE SOLDIBRB ON THE TREAT MENT OF CONFEDERATES. Another foolish idea seems to have entered the heads of many Northern people and edi tors. It seems to be thought that because our solders have been fighting |the Southern men for four years.tliey mean to keep lighting them now that halcyon peace has come. None know better than our soldiers how hard and bravely the Confederates have fonght in the late war. They kuow how much they have suffered and how they have lost all under it. Now that they are free to go to what i3 left of their homes, no one is more anxious to see those very men enjoy a little comfort; no one more ready to lend them a helping hand at the plough, or divide the frugal and home ly ration with him or them and their starve lings, than the hardy and bronzed veterans of the Ufiion armies—the brave and gentle hearted men who have bitterly fought him. The Union soldier knows that if the South erner was wrong, he fought as if he thought he was right anyhow, and one brave soldier is always respected by another. One of the Happy Family.—The large white cat wbich everybody remembers as a picture of perfect content; somehow escaped from the happy family’s cage, during the great fire, and was captured unhurt and not even singed. Grimalkin may be seen at Mr. Storm’s hat store, No. 136 Fulton-street, and Mr. Barnum can secure the animal by prov ing property and paying charges of keepiog. The latter are not heavy, as tlie cat would not eat until her food had been saturated with morphine; and in this discovery Mr. Storm tltiuks that he has obtained tlie secret of the management of the happy family N.
