THE QUARANTINE VIOLATION.
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 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.

busters present themselves, they will be well
received.
Confusion still reigned supreme in South

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.

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.

He will have at least one agent, either a cither,,
military Officer, or enlisted man. in each sub-di-tricc
This agent must be thoroughly Instructed in hia du
ties. He will be furnished with the proper blaiiKs fur
contracts, and will institute methods adequate to meet
the wants of his distiict in accordance w.th the rules
Os this Bureau. No fixed rates>of wages will bepre
scribed for a district, but in order to regulate fair wages
in given individual cases, the agent* sh ju!d tiave'in
miud minimum rates for his own guidance By can*,
fill inquiiy as to the hire of an ab'e-oodied man w heu
the pay went to the master, he will have an approxi
mate test of the value of labor. Ha must of tour.-e
consider the entire change of ebeumstauces. and be
sup e that the laborer haadue p otectiou against avarice
aud extortion. Wages had better be secured ny a lieu
on th© crops or land. Employers are de ir«d to enter
into written agreements with employees, setting tirth
stated w .ges. or securing an interest in toe i»nd or
crop, or both. All Mien agreements will be approved
by tbe nearest agent, and a duplicate flied in blaqffUce.
In case there should be no agent within reach, the
nearest postmaster will lorwaru the dup.icate of con
tracts direct to the Assistant Commissioner tor tue
State.
Attention is specially called to section 4 of the ln\y
establishing the Bureau, with regard to setting apa.t
land to ‘-every male citizen, whether refugee or ireed*
•man," Ac., and the same arrangement is reoommetal,
ed when it can be effected, between private parties.
Already many farmers have rented lands to freedmen
and reiugees This course is a recognition of ihe gea
eral principal in the law. __
in order to emorce the fulfillment of contracts on
both contracting p irti s, the Commissii ner oi tbe Bu
reau lays down no geueral rule—tne Assistant Com.
misslouer must use the privileges and authority he
already has. Provost courts, military commissiaus,
local courts, when the freedmen und reiugees have
equal rights with other people, are open to his usj. iu
tne great majority oi ca-es his own arbitrament, or
that of hi* agent, or the settlement by referees, will
he sufficient.
No Assistant Commissioner, or agent, is authorized
to tolerate compulsory unpaid labor, except lor Hie
legal punishment of crime, buffering may result to
some extent, but suffering is preferred to .-iaveiy, and
is to some degree the uece.-sa. y cousequt nee of events.
In all actions the officer should never forget that no
substitute for slavery, like appreuticesnip without
pioper con-ent, o. peonage, (1. e.. either holding th«
people by debt, or confining them, without con eut,
to the land by any system.} will be tpleriued.
The Assistant Commissioner will designate one or
more ot his agents to act as the geueral snperiuteu
dent of scuoois Cone for each State} for reiugees aud,
freedmen. This oificer will work as much as poSsiblt
in conjunction with Mate officers who mat have school
mature in charge. If a general system can be auopu **
eu for a Staie, it Is well; but if not, no will at least
take cognizance of dll that Is being dune to educate
refugees and ireeumen, secure proper protection to
senotas and teachers, promote method and efficiency,
correspond with the benevolent agencies which ai»
supplying his field, and aid Lhe Assistant Commission
