Parties wishing to have their cards Included in this Directory, can do so by sending them to our counting room, or hand-* mg them to Mr. Af. J. Divine, who U authorised to receive them. Prepayment will be invariably re quired. OUR DUTY AS A NATION. Now that the unity of this great Republic is established on an imperishable basis by the final settlement of questions, the agita tion of which culminated in the® te bloody war, the Government and people should ob serve the greatest caution in readjusting the policy which is to govern our intercourse with foreign nations. Recent popular demonstrations have dis closed the existence of a considerable politic cll* organization, having for its object the direct intervention of this country in behalf ot European Liberals in their conflicts with despotism. The leaders of this party assert that it is the duty and mission of this coun try to interfere abroad for the assertion of the democratic principles that underlie our institutions. They openly charge in their ad dresses to the public that our National Gov ernment, in its refusal to adopt their peculiar views upon this subject, has been influenced by selfishness and a want of sympathy for the cause of liberal principles in Europe. The '‘let alone’’ policy of our Government of which they complain, has been dictated not by selfishness, but by commendable pru dence. In husbanding our resources and economizing our strength, wo have not been acting in our own interests simply, but in the interests of humanity. If in placing free in stitutions upon an imperishable basis, in rear ing a race of freemen whose influence will be mighty and enduring, and enlarging the area of freedom by colonizing the sparsely settled districts of our vast territory, our energies are chiefly expended, the gain to 'republicanism and to political equality will be immensely greater than if those efforts were directed to the overthrow of European absolutism. f -The mission of this country is rather to auc? *MP to them theF land of welcome and protection, than to re suscitate effete monarchies by quickehing ind purifying them with the breath of free lorn, or to waste our strength iu the promo ion of revolts which prove to be fruitless. This is not selfishness. It is acompre tensive grasp of the most fittipg means for .he attainment of the greatest good of the jreatest number. * We have emerged in safety from a civil struggle whose gigantic proportions are well calculated to give the world an appreciation of our rapidly preponderating strength. Our great family quarrel is ended, and we shall henceforth boa re-united and vigorous peo ple. All sections will combine their energies for the common welfare, emigration will swell our population and power, and our re sources, North and South, .will increase in a scale of colossal mngnitude. Then, if we are true to duty and to des tiny, we shall be prepared for the coming struggle between freedom and tyranny on both hemispheres. The policy we have here indicated has been adhered to by our Government from its foundation to the present time, and the coun try has no reason to believe that it will be departed from by those now holding the reins of government at Waslrington. the thadk of savannah. The increased nativity of business in all branches of trade during the past week has been apparent to the most casual observer. The gradual re-opening of some of the ob structed channels of communication with the interior has caused this improvement; and affords a gratifying indication of that ex pansion which must necessarily follow the entire completion of the repairs now pro gressing on the railroads, and the contem plated enlargement of the facilities of trans portation on the Savannah liver, and coast wise to Florida, embracing the numerous in termediate points, commercially, tributary to the city. The immediate re-opening of communica tion with the counties of Southwestern Geor gia by the running of steamers from here to the Altamaha river, until the repairs on the Savannah & Gulf Railroad are completed, and for which we aro indebted to Messrs. Erwin & Hardee, of this city, will be hailed with pleasure, as an event of the first im portance. The most interesting feature, however, now presenting itself in connection with the affairs of this road, is the practical inaugura tive of its long-expected intercourse, over the branch road just completed, with the roads of Florida. We are not advised of the ar rangements that have been made for trans portation over this road, but in view of the immediate importance of the connection, we may venture the assurance that operations thereon will commence simultaneously with the renewal of the suspended communication with Thomasville. We shall not inflict upon our readers a re capitulation of the benefits to be realized from such intimate commercial relations with Florida. We have said enough on this subject already. As the period is now at hand when onr communications with the interior will be re established, we deem it proper to announce to all classes of the people of Georgia and Florida that the stocks of merchandize now oil hand Are sufficiently large and dviAf sified to meet all their wants and Decent ties. And the appreciating the financial difficulties of the crisis through which they are passing, have avow ed their determination to be satisfied with small profits, and do everything in their power for the relief of the industrial interests of the country. TOO BARBAROUS FOR BELIEF. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Journal is responsible for the follow* ing: An atrocious case, illustrative of slave bolding barbarism, was told by a negro who appeared at the s>fflce of the Frcedmen’s Bureau to-day, asking for relief. This colored man says he was formerly free and, working for wages in Maryland across the Eastern Branch. He went South in 1857 with a Dr. Lee,-for whom he had been working, persuaded by spurious promises of higher pay, going first to Athens, Georgia, afterwards to Knoxville, Tenn., where Dr. Lee for a time kept the Knoxville hotel, and subsequently removed to Jonesboro*. Re ceiving wages at first, he was at length held, and treated as a slave. In the winter of 18C3, Dr. Lee hired him out to the rebel Post Quartermaster at Jonesboro’. After remain ing eight or ten months he attempted to es cape to the lines of the National forces. He got twenty miles away, but was captured and taken bock, when bis rebel quartermaster took him to Surg. Williams, in charge ot the rebel hospital there, and ordered him to cut ofFtois feet and hands, to prevent, as be said, his attempting to run away again. The Dr. partially compiled amputating both legs just above the ankle. He left the stumps undress ed Over night, hut finding him alive the next day, said, “What, you nigger I are you alive yet? I intend to kill you." He tbeh had him placed in an ambulance and taken to the but of an old colored man, where he remained until our troops occu pied the place. This colored man brings vouchers from white people corroborative of his statements, which are believed by officers of the Bureau. The correspondent who furnishes the above to the Boston Journal is a mere daub at his business, and should be discharged at once for incompetency to meet the require ments of the truth-loving philanthropic public. Such barbarities as he describes are of every day occurrence and are nothing in comparison with the brutality to which the intelligent contrabands are even now con tinually subjected. It is by no means un common to see venerable old negroes hob blifig about our streets minus a leg or arm or both, their limbs having been taken off as punishment for some trivial offence. Cases are known where cruel masters have sent their negroes to Confederate surgeons to have n leg or arm amputated, and sometimes to be skinned alived. There are several cases known in which the original epidermis has been entirely removed and the poor victims having. survived the inhuman torture, are now going about like soft-shelled crabs, with only a thin filmy covering through which may be traced cutical veins, and the whole phenomena of veinous circulation observed with the naked eye. Cases in which this operation was performed by bungling or drunken surgeons proved fatal, but no notice was ever taken of them by the authorities. In several instances in which poor negroes were sent to the operating rooms tq have a leg taken off to prevent them from running away, the barbarous Confederate surgeons, in their stupidity and drunkenness, got hold of the wrong ends of their victims, and took off their heads instead of their feet. None of caaea qprviyed to tell the Wets are welf finestwr oomJßarnref* vouchers from white people, and are believed By some officers of the bureau." There is a Confederate surgeon now in Savannah, who having been directed to amputate both feet of a spirited and valuable negro, to keep him from escaping to the enemy, by mistake got hold of the biting end instead of the pedal extremity of his intended victim, and had three of his fingers and a thumb bitten off. A DESERVED PROMOTION. Major W. L. M. Burger, Adjutant Geueral of the Department of South Carolina, has been promoted to a -Brevet Lleuti-Colonelcy, for uniformly meritorious services ia the dis charge of his duties. We have known Col. Burger long, and have a high esteem for him as a gallant offi cer, an' Adjutant General«of rare ability, an bonorable, courteous gentleman, and a firm friend. His rare qualities have made Idm a host of friends, who will bo rejoiced at this official recognition of bis services. Col. Burger was formerly Adjutant of the Ist N. Y. Vol. Engineers, and was at the taking of Port Royal, In November, 18C1. He served ns Acting Assistant Adjutant General to Major General Gillmore at the selge of Fort Pulaski, and, subsequently, for seven months in Kentucky as Assistant Adjutant General. In the latter capacity he continued with General Gillmore throughout the operations against Charleston j and while the 10th Army Corps, with Its commander, was absent at James’ River, he remained at Headquarters, Hilton Head, as Senior Assis tant Adjutant General with General Foster. He still occupies that position on General Gillmore’s staff. Aid for thb Navajoe Indians. —Secretary of the Interior, Harlan, and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs had a very satisfactory con ference on Monday last, in Philadelphia, with prominent Quakers of that city, who propose to assist the government in its deal ings with the Navajoe Indians, by establish ing and maintaining among them schools and other civilizing institutions. It is ex pected that the plans for this philanthropic enterprise will shortly be agreed upon be tween the Interior Department and the Qua ker gentlemen alluded to. “National Financks. —During the week ending with Saturday, $1,596,000 were is sued by the Treasury in certificates of in debtedness, and for the same period $1i,749,- 000 were disbursed fore the redemption of outstanding certificates.

Thirty-five lods of mail matter are daily received at the Poßt Office iu Washington, and ane qual amount is sent away, making 70 tons handled every '24 hours. The re ceipts in six months of 18C5 amount to $855,- 929 52. _. The Belleville Countryman places the “stars and stripes" at the head of its columns; and says: “We nail the old flag to the mast, hut we don’t want to fight under that flag— nor any other.” Health of the President.— The President held a protracted Cabinet meeting on Tues day last, the first in ten days. Gen. George B. McClellan is said to be a candidate for the position of engineer of a Western railroad, with a salary of SIO,OOO a year. LATEST FftbM MEXICO. One Hundred Thousand Men Required by the Imperialists. Defeat of Maximilian's Forces at ITepalla. New Orleans, Aug 7. The Times’city of Mexico correspondent of the 11th ult. says that the French organs state that they will require one hundred thousand more men to destroy the bands of Juarists. The rising of the people daily takes larger dimensions. Reports of French suc cesses are unfounded. Gen. Alvarez has just Inflicted a heavy blow on the Imperialists at Yepalla, com pletely routing them, taking three pieces of artillery. Great disappoioment is felt at the failure of the combined French and Imperial forces against Negrete, in the pass of Buena Vista. Cortena ’ reigns * supreme from the gates of Mattamoras to Monterey. The receipts of the government are some what reviving by the French lottery, but the expenses are terribly increasing. Ex-Minister Corwin has written a letter to Maximilian's Foreign Minister, from which Borne infer he will influence Mr. Seward to recognize the Emperor. French reinforcements are arriving to fill vacancies. Juarez is still at Chihuahua, un disturbed. Brownsville advices of the 2d state that a train of one hundred, and fifty wagons from Maiamoras was corralled by a party of lib erals of eigiiteen. A short skirmish ensued. In which the captain of the train was killed and ad Imperial colonel woufaded. The Im perialists claim a victoiy. Cortina proclaims to the people of Mato moras that unless they support the Republic he will proclaim them traitors, and confiscate their properly. The liberals bold the entire State of San Luis, except the city of San Luis Potosi, but have their lines within three miles of there. sxPDO&xozr or a steamer Hundreds of Persons Blown into the River. TWENTY KILL ED AND ( DROWNED. The Vicksburg Herald of August 1, gives the particulars of the explosion of the Joseph Pierce, a brief mention of which was made by telegraph a few days since. The accident occurred at Palmyra Lauding, twenty miles below Vicksburg, on July 31, while the boat was taking on board the Sixty-fourth New Orleans Colored Infantry, Colonel Miatlcard commanding. Her starboard boiler explod ed with terrible force, after she had lieen lay ing at Cairo about half an hour, blowing away fifty feet of the center of the boat.— Hundreds were blown ■ into the river, but, strange to say, .the loss of life was very small. James Kane, fireman, and two deck hands arc known to be killed. William Mc- Gee nbd M. O’Brien, firenyrh, and Samuel Stewart, Company P,-Seventy-seventh Penn sylvania, two colored women and a negro hoy, are all that are known to be missing.— It is thought, however, that perhaps about twenty arc drowned, but their names are not to be found, and the supposition may not prove correct. Chief Engineer Wm. Nicholas is badly burned, ana will scarcely recover. Two deck hands are badly burned and scalded. Twenty-four colored soldiers and Isaac Lit tle and James West, mechanics, were more or less severely scalded or bruised ; some of the injured men had legs and arms broken. There was but oue lady passenger, Mrs. Saley, who with her child, was saved, but badly bruised and cut. About five minutes after the explosion occurred, and about ten minutes before the main body of the col ored regiment were ready to be marched on Amu-cLV wounded were oink* fatigue parties engaged in putting the bag gage, etc., of the regiment on the boat. No apparent cause for the explosion is given.— The engineers were considered among the best mi the river, one of them having twen ty years experince. Army aml Navy Personal.

V., Depot Ordnance Officer of this Department, has been promoted to the rank of Major U. S. V. The Secretary of the Navy, in commu nicating to Rear-Admiral Dablgren the order detaching him from the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, says: “ In relieving you from a command which you have conducted with ability and energy lor two years, the department takes the oc casion to express to you its appreciation of your services, and of the services of those 7? ho have been associated with you in the efficient blockade of tbe coast and harbor* at a Central and important position of the Union, and in the work of repossessing the forts and restoring the authority and suprem acy of the Government in the insurgent States.—Pori Royal New South. The Cholera in the East. —A Trieste paper gives the following account of the chol era among the pilgiims at Mecca : “The Mussulman fesWvals of the Kurban - Bairam took place during the last twenty days of May, when six hundred thousand to seven hundred thousand pilgrims annually assemble iu Mecca and upon Mount Ararat to celebrate their pilgrimage with the usual religious ceremouies. The mode of line, ut terly opposed to all rules of ditetlc prudence,. pursued by these crowded masses for ten or fifteen days at holy places yearly entails a numbered' diseases to which many are sacri ficed. This year the cholera, or as the government prefers to call jt choleri ne, was added to the customary pests, and is said to have carried off twen ty thousand people at Mecca and upon Gebel Ararat within the short space of two months. Private accounts place the loss of pilgrim fife at one hundred thousand—au es timate obviously exaggerated, as these do not even include the deaths by cholera. We in Alexandria have no more exact details as to this terrible drama, which made no extra ordinary impression upon the pilgrims them selves, who, in their religious fanaticism, believe every one certain of Paradise who dies during pilgrimage. The country being at all times inaccessible to European medi cal men the meagre reports we have are de rived from a few Egyptian military surgeons, ordered by the government to accompany the pilgrims from Egypt.” Fibs at Portland.— Boston, August 6. A fire occurred this morning at half-past five in the Evans' building in Middle street, occu pied by Lewis, Rollins & Bond, clothing dealers, who lost SB,OOO to $9,000; insured for $7,000. The fire broke out in the third story, used as their manufacturing room, and extended to the second story, occupied by Merrills & Lewalls, jobbers and dealers in fancy goods, who lost SIO,OOO to $12,000; insured for SB,OOO. The Are was extinguish ed quickly. The building was damaged to the extent of $2,000 to $3,000, chiefly caused by water and smoke. Will Jittntk Darts t* Tried Before a Civil or BHUtaryWrlbsusal I A Washington correspttident of the New York News says: “ I am preparefi to putMt rest all specula tion concerning the trial of Jefferson Davis, so far as it relates to a military commission. I positively assert that President Johnson has decided that Mr; Davis aall not be tried by a military commission, notwithstanding he has been persistently urg and to that course by the Radicals, who thirit for more blood. And, moreover, I feel p« fectly satisfied that he will never be tried, bi I eventually will be permitted to leave the country." The Tribune having pronounced the above “ pure guess-work, an&aot good guessing at that," the editor of the News thus pointedly replys: •* “ The Tribune undertakes to throw doubt upon the statement of our Washington dis patch of a few days ago tonching the dispo sition of Mr. Davis. We may observe, how ever, that our cotempgjpry does not contra dict the announcements©! that telegram with absolute directness Be this, however, as it may, we are in a position to assure that jour nal, and the public generally, that the asser tions of the dispatch are true, and to affirm, as we do here editorially, that Mr. Jefferson Davis will not be tried, if at all, otherwise than by a civil court.

What does she know of the torturing pain Os the racked heart and the agonized brain ! “Pattern for others!” What tempts her to stray Where could she flnd a more sunshiny way v Changing her path were to darkeu her hours; Sliming means thistles, and saintliness flowers ; Duty leads onward through vineyards and bowers. Not that I Judge her ; Oh, bitter and stern lessons. In future, her spirit may learu: Nectar, by keeping, may change Into gall: Angels turn demons when tempted to fall; Uooduess untried is no goodness at all.

The demand formonev Is leas active,and tbe loan market tends toward ease. The rate on call loans remains chiefly at 7 $ cent., wijU slight exceptions at » *>• cent. There Is bnt a light demand for dis count ; the supply of A1 bills is limited ; but of pa per not strictly first class, there la more offered than Is wanted, and the rates are proportionately high.— The quotations range at 7 a 12 II cent., according to names and dates. Gold is without special excitement. The premium continues steady. The demand from importers is quite active 5 but It is probably offset to a large ex* tent by tbe sales of the Treasury Department. It is presumed that after the loth, when the interest on Seven-thirties fall due, tor which it Is supposed the sales of gold are intended to provide, the Treasury will discontinue its sale of coin. The board opened at lU‘i and closed af 2 P. M. at 143;.. Foreign exchange is dull, as usual on the sailing day of the steamer. There is, however, more firm ness in rates, arising from an Increase in tbe im ports cotemporaueously with a telling off In tbe ex ports.
