The prompt punishment of the recent case of violation of the quarantine regulations can not fail to impress the public with the fidelity and watchfulness of those officers to whoqi is committed that most important trust—the health of the city. Tuis escape from the risk of introduction of disease has awakened us to a sense of the danger which only the most sttingent regulations and the most faithful execution of them can jjrert. Meanwhile the city has been, and stillis, kept in as per fect a sanitary condition as the rigid rules and conscientious inspections of the Medical au thoiiti. s can keep it. And if the people will Continue to co-operate with the efforts of the mi itaty officials, there need be no'appre hension of sicKneJS be ng introduced by oth er agencies th tu those over which man can exercise no con rol.

To tlic People of Savauuah. We have not resided in Savannah long enough to leel authorized iu dictating to its citizens on many local subjects, or even to discus* them with the fullness which some may deem they require. But we shall always be glad to publish communications on such topics, wheu exhibiting intelligence and candor, if the discussion comes within the province of a newspaper published in a Mili tary District. Tnose, howevei', who have any suggestions to offer to the military au thorities, must make them to the officers di rectly,-and not through the columns of a newspaper. • Thk CoxroN ScprLY.—The Treasury Agent at Newbern, N.

His frankness is admired, but when he eulogises General Lee as next to Wash it gton; lit. dares ih e -abolition of slavery a curse to the negro, and speaks of bis repug nance to going uack into the Union, his re marks excite the utmost indignation of the radical Kepubiicaus.

SEW ENGLAND CORRESPONDENCE. Commencement* at New England Colleges—Com memorative Exercises at Harvard—A Carni val of Crime — The Roxbury Murder —Genesal Meade Receiving the Ilosjntality of Boston — The New Constabulary Police at work — Abraham Lincoln s /Mg Cabin — The Weather, Amusements , J-c. Boston, July 22. To the Editor of the Savannah Herald : The commencements at our numerous New England Colleges have been the most inter esting features of the last week or fortnight in this section. Our colleges are in a wonder fully flourishing condition, considering the causes that have tended to a reduction of tba> number ot students attending them. They have all made large contributions towards the army Union, both of alumni and un dergraduates, and not a small number of Southern youth left their classic shades to cast their fortunes with the sunny South iu its at tempt to set up for itself. We shall be glad to welcome those handsome Southern faces back again to our famous educational iaslitutions, unless the South does still better by using tue first fruiis ot its new prosperity—which, i donut not —will soou come to enlarge and euuow and liberally support its own Col leges and Universities. Yet there seems to be a good result flowing f.om tue youth of all sections receiving their higher education together. Graduates took sines in the late c -ntest as they saw fit, but many an officer met an honored classmate in tue opposing ranks, and devoted an hoar stolen from the tumult of war to old associations at alma mater. The commencement at Harvard University were especially interesting this year, as it siiou and be in view of the return of peace after four y ears of bloody, fraternal war. I only wish there could have been more graduates from the Southern States returned to iheir old educational home to buiy sectional feelings upon the altar of a common nationality.— But they will come by and by, I dare say. Gen. Meade was tue most, prominent distin guished guest of the occasion, and the few remarks wuicu the students demanded of him were received in a manner showing that his substantial qualities as an officer ot our army have been appreuted. The class of lcG > commenced in 1881 with 113 members, and will graduate with 77. Os those who left the class ihirieen joined the army, three of them having been killed. At a meeting of the Alumni, on Wednes day, the 19til lust., the mutter of building a monument to those wno have fallen during tue war was discussed. The subject ot building an Alumni Hall was also broached, dome were iu favor ot merging the two pro j cts into one, and building a hall which suould be devoted to tue purposes ot the liv ing Alumni ana dedicated to the memory ot those who have beeu killed during the war. The whole subject was referted to a special committee of iiity, who will probably do something about it during the ensuing year. On tue following Friday there were very interesting exercises at Harvard commemo rative of those who have fallen during the war, members ot tue Alumni. Os the latter 4kany distinguished officers were present, Gens. Leveus, Force, Bartlett, Sargent and others. Gen. Meade and Stall aud Gov. Andrew aud Staff were present as guests. The classic halls were beautitully draped, aud the living graduates, who have also graduated from the severer school of war were welcomed with classic mottos. I have uot space in tue brief limits of a letter to give you an account ot the exercises, which included a procession, grand banquet,speech- es, &c- Tlie present seems to be an era of crime in this as well as otuer sections of the country, i'ne numerous bouuty-jumpers of tbe war are returning to their old pursuits, and ma king great Uioturbance against the peace and good order of the community. The murder of tue Joyce children is almost it not quite as iuexplicable as the next day after it was committed. Your readers have probably no iced accounts of this cold-blooded affair. Two children—one a girl of twelve the other a boy ot ten years—were found murdered in the woods ot Itoxbury, while near by were the wild flowers they had been gathering in iheir sweet innocence. Several persons have been suspected, and generally arrested aud examined. The last person arrested, who is now in durance, is a bounty jumper named Stewart, who Was found at Fort Indepen dence, in the harbor, The fellow has ac anoweledgsd his bounty-jumping guilt, but declares nis innocence of thisdecd, aud so far there has been nothing adduced to make a case of any strength against him. Murders are quite frequent, and most of the outrages now inflicted on the community are the work of base and unprincipled men, who, dui ingibe war, found ample opportu nity to make private war upon tue public by bounty-jumping. The soldiers who faithful ly served their time, aud are coming home crowned with the laurel of victory, are law abiding men who would scorn to commit crimes and thus sully their hard earned hon- ors. Some of them are inclined to induge rather freely in tue freedom of American cit izens, to consume large quantities of tangle foot whisky, in whicu they spend their mon ey foolishly, aud now aud then another dne makes an adventure among the nymphs of North street and loses his money, but they have done nothing more obnoxious to good government and ought to be excused for sums excesses. i mentioned that Gen. Meade was present at the Commencement Exercises at Ear vard University. He was not allowed to go through Boston without a taste of the hos pitality of the city He was diued aud wined at a private and select banquet, aud the next day he received the '•» polhi —lf it is not an outrage to suppose ihat there is a cla.-s iu the United (States which may be called “the many’ distiuct from “the wuole’' —at Faneuil Hail. He made a hand some speech, in which he presented the claims of the disabled soldiers. From here the General weut to Portsmouth where he was present at the marriage of a niece with Col. John H. George, a well known lawyer and politician of New Hamp shire. Col. George was formely a law part ner of Ex-Presideut Frank Pierce, if I mis take not. The Government has recently soldjix ves sels at Portsmouth Navy Yard, with prices as follows: Steamer Wammtta, $ 14,600; (Steamer Dawn, $24,300; (Steamer Amausas, $40,100; Barque Kobtuk, $14,000; Barque Eibau Al.eu s2o,ooo,(Schooner Henry James, 10,000. The prices realized were ucarer the first cost than many sales that have been made ou government account Iho New Constabulary Police iorce has been organized in this country. Twenty deputies have been appointed who have commenced to serve notices on the dealers in the ardent, forbieding them to continue the sale, and ad vising them legal action will be taken forth with if they keep on in their nefarious couree. The liquor dealers seem disposed to attend to their “biz” and let the gentlemen with the traditional “painted poles” try it on. Hercu les would have failed in such a task as that of stopping the axle of liquor iu a great city, where three fourths of the adults and a fair sprinkling of the boys are in tavor of the “critter.” But the attempt has opened in the “ercles vein.” The weather has been hot for several days, and the people who are unable to fly away to the mountains and the sea shore have been sweltering under the first Indication of “dog days,” which, like everything else, are early this year. Amusements are confined to “combinations” of various character and calibre performing at various bouses in town. They draw well, notwithstanding the hot weather, for there are always many who are never-tired of “golug somewhere.” Tue log cabin which our late lamented President helped to build nearly forty years ago has been erected for exhibition on the Common by a man named Hanks, who worked with Mr. Lincoln to build the house originally. Thousands have been to look at it. It does not differ in its material structure from the ordinary log house, in a somewhat dilapidated state. General News, The Secretary of War has rented Ford s Theatre, Washington, fpr a depository of archives. He has informed the counsel of Mr. Ford that he recognized the latter’s right to compensation for the time the Theatre has been occupied. The Theatre will be rented until the Ist of February next for $1,500 a month, with the privilege of purchasing it for SIOO,OOO, the price agreed upon with the Christian Commission, if Congress see proper to do so; if not, to return it in good condi tion. —The Navy Department is rapidly dispos ing of its immense fleet at prices at about the Government appraisement. The next great sales take place as follows : Boston, August Ist; Philadelphia, August 10th; New York, August 15th; Mound City, 111., August 17th, and Washington, August 19th. These sales will dispose of the larger portion of the fleet which has been employed during the war. —Large quantities of a superior quality of cop Der and other minerals, which were ob tained by the Confederate Government from mines near Charlotte, are being received by the Treasury Agent at Newbern, N. C. —The gold and slfcrer mines of' North Carolina are being worked by negroes, many of whom have accumulated fortunes. John Minor Botts, it is said, will soon issue an address to the people of Virginia, utging them to vote for negro suffrage as the only hope of the State tor its readmission to the Union on terms of equality with the other States. Merritt’s cavalry force are on ’ the move through Louisiana, having left Shreveport on the way to San Antonio. Secretary McCulloch,, of the Treasury Department, has ordered the issue of the five cent currency notes to cease. The three cent notes have already been abolished. lt is stated that Brazil withdrew' its con cession of belligerent rights to the Confed eracy on the 51st of May last. About $50,000 worth of defaced and worn-out fractional currency is destroyed per day. Highly important news has been re ceived from Mexico. Two important points on the frontier will soon be occupied—Ca margo and Piedras Negras— if any filli busters present themselves, they will be well received. Confusion still reigned supreme in South America. At Guayaquil the President seized an English steamer lying in port there, and with it fought the fleet of the insurgents. Sanguinary contests are reported in the va rious States of South America. The Blackfeet aud Sioux Indians, on both sides of the Upper Missouri, are again causing trouble, and s.ay they propose to ex terminate the whites. President Johnson has fully endorsed Governor Brownlow’s course In Tennessee. Gen. Logan is stumping Kentucky in favor of the constitutional amendment. - Fifty-seven national banks were char tered during the week before last, with an aggregate capital of $9,935,420. —The great ocean iron-clad ram Dunder berg was successfully launched at New York, in the presence of an immense concourse of people, on Saturday, the 22d inst. —The Shenandoah is reported, by letters from Melbourne, to be cruising off the coast of New Zealand. —Several hundred bales of cotton belong ing to the State oi North Caiolina, and sur rendered by Gen. Johnston, has been taken from the custody of the Treasury Department aud restored to the State. —All the prisoners at Fort Warren, ex cepting Vice-President Stephens and Post master Reagan, were released on the 24th, on taking the oath. They numbered many dis tinguished officers of the late Confederate Army. —The insurrection in Hayti is still raging. President Geffrard is able to take the town ot Cape Haytieu, held by tbe insurgents, but wishes to spare the effusion of blood. —At a churcb in Dorsetshire, England, lately, a swarm of bees took possession of the cuancel, aud the officiating clergymen was unable to read tbe communion service at the alter m consequence. WRECK OF THE QUINNEBAUG. Particular* of the Disaster. The North Carolina Times of the 22d has the following: “The steam propeller Quinnebaug left Morebead City about G o’clock Thursday morning, bound for Baltimore, with about 280 discharged soldiers, belonging to the fol lowing commands: fifteen to the Third U. S. Artillery, nine to the Ninth Maine, seven to the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth New York, and three companies of the Seventy sixth Pennsylvania. About 8 or 9 o’clock, when off Cape Look out bar, the machinery refused to work and the vessel being driven ashore by the break ers, was split in pieces, and became a total wreck. Between thirty and forty* 1 A the passengers are reported lost. Lieutenant Denning, of the Ninth Maine, is reported among the un fortunate. Tbe scene is described as being frightfully horrible, and some of the survivors are rep-, resented as acting most nobly in their efforts to save their comrades. The Quinnebaug is an old boat, built prob ably beloie some of its ill-fated passengers were born, and might have done well enough as a transport for cattle; but human beings, particularly discharged soldiers, who have fought through tbe battles of their country, and are returning home after a long absence, should be furnished something more secure. £.Texas Nkws.—A despatch from New Or leans, July 24th, says: A Galvestvn letter of the 18th in9t. says the total amount of cotton in Texas does not exceed 50,000 bales. The Houston Telegraph of the 20th inst. says the report that ten thousand Missourians are on their way to Mexico is undoubtedly a piece of nonsense. The entire party is less than four hundred. On the 13th ult., two companies of the Seventy-eighth lowa Cavalry tought five hundred Sioux Indians, and captured four of them. The Indian loss was unkuown, but it was thought to be heavy. The War in Mexico. Military operations have resumed with in creased vigor in Mexico. Negrete had been badly worsted, and was retreating, having lost lwo towns. The following account is given Three columns, under the commands of Generals Mejia, Burncourt and Colonel Beamingro9, were o dered to operate against Negerte; and each column taking a different road, they ought to have arrived together, before Negrete’s position. General Mejia, re maining iu Matamoras instead of marching on Monterey, Genet al Brincourt left Patos and commenced his movements on Saltillo whilst Colonel Jaanningros marched on Saltillo by the Eucantada load. Unfortunately General Brincourt could not make the distance be tween Patos and Saltillo in one day’s march, and the enemy, advised in time, retreated by the Monclova road, except 1,000 men, who went in the direction otTaraaulipas. Col. Jaauningroa troops entered Saltil lo the afternoon oi the Bth, and left the same evening in pursuit of Negrete—his cavalry reaching and skirmishing with Negrete’s rear guard. The troops returned to Saltillo the following day (the 10th). Brincourt reachedPanas tbe 12th. At present, Col. Jaanningros occupies Monteroy. Command er Saussin, of the Foreign Legion, occupies Saltillo with bis battalion. Mejia's division has uot yet left Matamoras. KEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
