Savannah, August 3, 1865-
Hev. P. DrFAC,
Sir The members of the Virginia Minstrels now
performing for a limited perod in this city, beg leave
to tender you a complimentary benefit in behalf of
the orphan i under your charge. No subject has en
grossed the attention of the company, more than
extending a helping hand to need and virtue, and
rescuing from want those whom these troublous times
have aUlicted and deprived of their protectors and
guardians. Charitably and nobly engaged in your
praiseworthy object, we will give a performance on
Friday evening, the 4th day of August, at St. An
drew's Hall, in aid of your Asylum, and will pay
over the proceeds of the house, after paying ex
penses. We beg your acceptance of this tender on
our part. We are
Very Respectfully,
D. j. Shaffer, Billy Coater, H. A. Howard, Leo.
Carroll, Reub. Macon, L. McLaughlin, S. Burroughs,

liilvaney.
Savannah. July 3d, 1885.
To Messrs. D. J. Shaffer and Company.
Gentlemen I accept with gratitude your chari
table purpose of giving a complimentary benefit for
the aid and assistance of the Catholic Orphan Asylum
to-morrow evening. Our Asylum has never been In
such distress as at present. Several of the Orphans
are oare-footed, and half naked for want of pecuniary
means to clothe them.
Respectfully yours,
- Rev. P. Dcfau.
Launch of the schk. anna Sims.—We have pre
viously noticed In our columns that Mr. Rufus P.
Hawkes, formerly of the well-known firm of Krenson
& Hawkes, had at his ship-yard, east of the Savan
nah and Ogeechee Canal, built the first vessel, either
steam or sail, since the advent of peace.
The Anna Sims, which was intended to have been
launched some time since, but was prevented by the
low tides, was finally got off yesterday afternoon.
Everything being ready, the' blocks were knocked
out at naif past five o’clock, and a more successful
launch has uot been witnessed in Savannah.
As the schooner reached her element Mr. George A.
Reed, representing the firm of Charles L. Colby A Cos.,
the owners, christened the craft with the usual cere
monies. Immediately after the launch, and when
tne schooner had been saiely moored at a wharf ad
jacent to the ship-yard of Mr. Hawkes, a large num
ber of our enterprising merchants, and vessepown
ers, who have identified themselves with Savannah
interests, assembled in the office formerly occupied
by Deilauoy & Zeigler.
Among those present we noticed Capt. Hollway,
of the firm of C. L. Colby A Cos., Mr. E. Slater, Chief
Engineer of the Government Machine Shops, Lieut
Knowlton, in charge of Transportation and Machine
Shops, Capt. Richardson, U. S. A., and many others
whose names we could not learn.
An excellent collation having been prepared by
Mr. Wm. Solt, conviviality reigned until near night.
Capt. Holway being called upon, gave the
toast, “The Anna Sims." Lieut. Knowlton and Mr. E.
Slater, followed with toasts complimentary to the
house of C. L. Colby & Cos., “destined to become the
leading commercial house in Georgia.”
The compliment paid to Colby A Cos. was respond
ed to by Mr. Reed.
Mr. Hawkes will, without fail, have the Anna Sims
ready for sea in about two weeks. The owners in
tend to place her in the trade between Savannah and
Florida, or Cuba.
The craft was christened lu compliment to a south
ern lady, now resident at Brooklyn, New York,
whose charities and philanthropy are well known and
appreciated. - \
The following are the dimensioas of the Anna
Sims: length over all, 87 feet; breadth or beam, 10
feet 10 Inches; depth of hold, 8 feet 8 inches. Accord
ing tothe old measurement of vessels, she will rate 55
tons burthen.
The Steamek Swan.—This flue iron-hulled steam
er, built by Harlan A Hollingsworth, Wilmington,
Delaware, and which formerly plied on the Savan
nah r ver between Savannah and Augusta, under
command of Capt. Richard Johnson, and subse
quently under Capt. Garnett, Is to,be restored to the
commercial and travelling public.
The Swan was built for the planters on the South
Carolina and Georgia shore of the Savannah river, to
ply between the landing. At the evacuation of Sa
vannah, the Swan, after reaching the landing at
Screvan’s Ferry, opposite the. city, was burned and
sunk on the South Carolina shore. The owners of
the steamer having obtained the sanction of the Gov
ernment to raise the vessel, Mr. Moses A. Cohen,
who for years was the Agent of the Swan and other
steamers engaged In the up river and coast
trade, advertised for proposals for raising
the Swan. Messrs. Brown A Moran made
a contract with Mr. Cohen, and after
eighteen days of work in mud and water, they were
successful in putting on two patches of iron io the
hull. They then bailed her out with buckets and
Barely brought her to the wharf of Miller’s foundry.
Arrangements have been made so that Mr. Chas.
Grieves will haul up the steamer on ways he Is erect
lng at the ship yard of Messrs. Krenson & Hawkes,
and put the hull of the Swan in good condition, to
rate her No. 1 In commercial circles and Insurance
companies.
It wili take about fifty days or two months to re
build the swan. When fully loaded with cotton and
passengers, her draft of water will be but three feet
and at all seasons she can ply on the river.
Timber and Turpentine Lands for Sale.— We
Invite the attention of the public to the advertise
ment of Mr. E. C. Wade, offering for sale ten thou
sand acres of timber and turpentine lands, in Pierce
and Ware counties. These lands are eligibly located
on the line of the Savannah and Gulf Railroad, be
tween the lines of road leading from Macon to Bruns
wick and from tke latter place to Albany. The rivers
Satilla and Allapaha, navigable for rafts to the Gulf,
run through them. They are also irrigated by smaller
streams, and abound in excellent ranges for cattle
and sheep. The section of country is one of the
healthiest In the State; the land is productive, and
adapted to the cultivation of cotton, sugar, corn,
4c. Raving been over them, we can confidently
recommend these lands as offering unusual
advantages to those who desire to* em
embarii in the timber and turpentine business which
Is destined to become an important and profitable
branch of commerce in our section. The ranging
timber on these lands is of the best ’quantity.
To capitalists a rare opportunity for profitable
investment is offered, as the turpentine business, al
ways profitable, must now become even more remu
nerative, not only on account of the steadily in
creasing demand in the foreign and home markets,
but because the labor of the country can at present,
be more advantageously, and reliably employed in
the timber and turpentine fields than in the cultiva
tion of crops requiring more systematic and constant
attention.
Virginia Minstrels—benefit of the Catholic
Osi'Han AsvlUjl.— By the correspondence published
this morning, it will be seen popular vocal
troupe, the Virginia Minstrels have tendered a benem
to that truly worthy charitable institution, the Cath-
ollc Orphan Asylum. Aside from the attractiveneaa
of the entertainment the object for which it is given
will, we doubt*not, Induce a full house to-night.
Ikon Thieving. —On the Savannah river, as also
all streams and rice plantations, the large threshing
and rice-pounding mills have been wantonly destroy
ed to secure the plunder of iron, brass and copper.
It will take millions of dollars to replace the proper
ty destroyed, the patterns of aU castings used having
been burned or destroyed.
Among those which have suffered was the steamer
Gen. Lee, sunk at McAlpin’s landing. Her brasses and
rods were stolen and sold. The engines of the Swan
also were torn to pieces as she lay at Screven’s Ferry.
Nothing was left but her boilers and shafts; her cyl
inders were broken up and probably sold. This
thieving has been so extensively and systematically
conducted—tools, in many cases, being used to screw
off bolts, etc.—as to excite considerable remark, and
no effort will be spared to bring offenders to condign
punishment.
Ruffianism and Robbebt.— On Wednesday even
ing last, a colored man, who for years was in the em
ploy of Mr. Feely, proprietor of the Pulaski House
Omnibusses, was met on West Broad street and robb
ed of the contents of his pocket—about four dollars.
This colored man is one who has won by his kind
ness and civility the good will of the community.
The faithful old servant was severely injured aud is
receiving the kindest attention.
Sole Leather.— The boot and shoe makers of our
city have for some months been out of good hemlock
tanned sole-leather. The enterprising firm of L. J.
Guilmartin A Cos., learning of this want have obtain
ed a large lot of hemlock-tanned sole leather. The
supply is not very large, considering the scarcity, and
all who are out of this finding, will do well to call
soon.
