LOCAL MATTERS, % THE SHOWERS. ’ Copious Raima, Heavy Thunder and Vivid Lightning. bn Saturday and yesterday Savannah was visited with a series of showers, which cooled the air and moistened the earth. The tail of rain was bounteous, and at times the streets were running like rivers, so copiously did the water descend. The llrst shower of Saturday came very suddenly,and many people, riding or walking, were caught in a deluge of rain, which drenched them to the skin. Yesterday a lowry fore noon betokened showers so that those of the after noon were less unexpected. There were several instances of the lightening striking, and some novel treaks or the fluid, but uo fatal accidents. Near the camp of the 28th Massachusetts a green tree waa struck, and splintered somewhat< bnt not killed. Shortly after a dry tree at the head of Company E’s street was struck and shivered to pieces, the frag ments being scattered all through the camp. Capt. S. Bonney, commanding the company, was sitting In his tent, near the foot of the tree, when the fluid entered It, melted a hole throngh his saber-scabbard, burned bis foot badly, and scorched the paper in a cartridge box without Igniting the powder. The Cap tain’s black boy, Reuben, was just leaving the .tent w|en the tree was struck, and the shock knocked him down. His consternation can be imagined Capt. Keyser, of Company C, had his arm tempor arily paralylzed by the shock, and several others felt It severely- The ground was also struck at a short distance from the camp. The spire of 9t. John's Episcopal Church on the west side of Madison Square, was struck and sus tained slight injuries. This is the second time that this edifice has been injured this summer from lightning; the first shock knocked out several panes of stained glass in the belfry. Tucker’s Range, south-west comer of Charlton and Whitaker streets, had a window considerably damaged; none of the Inmates sustained injury. A cow, the property of a Mrs. Johnson, was struck aud instantly killed. The same bolt knocked down and stunned a horse standing near by, and shatter ed considerably the vehicle to which he was attach ed. Glancing off it partially demolished two or three chimneys in the vicinity. of stained glass in the belfry.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Rob tbe Corner Stone of St. Patrick’s Church* On Saturday night last an unsuccessful attempt was made on a large sqale to rob tbe comer stone of Bt. Patrick’s Churcb, corner of West Broad and Lib erty streets, by digging a hole some six feet deep with a view to undermining it. The corner stone is comprised of a portion of the main door sill on Liber ty street. The sill is about 7J* feet in length, 4 feet wide and about 6 Inches thick, lu this slab are laid the valuable documents relating to the erec tion of the Church. If plunder was the object, of the rogues, they would have been disappointed had they succeeded In finding the spot they were in search of, for only a few coins, not over five dollars in value,, was deposited there. The comer stone was laid on the 17th day of March, 1863, and bears the follow ing inscription : “This building was converted into a Church by a Solemn Benediction, March 17th, 1863. » “Mammon® Ereptum, Doe Dlcatum, Sub Invocatlone, Santl Pat rid." Departure of the 12th Connecticut Vete ran Volunteers. This well disciplined battalllon were mustered out on Saturday, and departed yesterday qji the steamer Col le, for New York, en route for Connecticut,where they will receive their final papers. The battalllon numbered 360 men, rank and file, and were under the command of Capt. Strong. The following Is the present list of officers : Lieut. Col.—George N. Lewis. Major—Sidney E Clark. Surgeon—Janies R Cnmmlng. Assistant Surgeon—Jalrus F Lines. Quartermaster— Henry Tuttle. Captains—Jame3 D. Roche, Hlrnm F. Chappell, James E. Smith, Francis Smith, John Brennan, John Mullen. First Lieutenants—Henry Gibbons, Geo. W. Phelps, Charles W. Coe, Augustus Gray, Wm. H. Root. Second Lieutenants—Edwin G. Sawn, Charles N. Lane, Stephen Shipman, Christopher Gase, Charles Kelley. • .... ,_T.. . The Connecticut was mustered In onthe2oth of November, 1861. They were in the New Orleans expedition—the first regiment to march Into that city—and in the Red River expedition. They after wards went Into the Shenandoah Valley, under Sher idan, and participated In the battles of Cedsf Creek, Fisher’s Hill and Winchester. They went to Harrisonburg with Sheridan,then re turned to the Valley, then were ordered to the vi cinity of Washington, and soon after to Savannah. The regiment re-enllsted for three years when they had served about two and a half years, and were then consolidated into six companies. They were much esteemed here for good beha vior and all soldierly qualities, and their absence will be regretted by many. They have been In the brigade of Brig. Gen. Da vis, commanding this Sub-Dtstrlct, since January last, and were In tbe same Division a long time pre vious. The General expressed great regret at parting with them. The General was also much beloved and respected by them: The Guide left here at half past twelve o’clock, the baud furnishing fine music as she slowly left the dock. . ForDoctobtown, via Darien.—By au advertise ment In another column, it will-be seen that the steamer, Wm. G. Gibbons, Capt. Pbllpot, will leave this city on Tuesday morning next, for Doctortown. The Gibbons is a light draft-steamer, well adapted to The inland and river navigation, and is under the management of a skillful and experienced officer, In whom the most Implicit confidence may be placed. The enterprise of opening the route between this city and the present Altamaha terminus of the Sa vannah and Golf Railroad, thus putting us again In connection with South-western Georgia and Florida Is highly commendable, and deserves as It will do doubt receive, the thanks and liberal support of the business and traveling public. We wish Capt. Phll pot and his associates abundant success. arrival of Railway Iron, etc. for the Georgia Cextral Railroad.—The schr. Wm. B. Mann. Capt.

Octbaoe.—On Thursday evening last, while Mr. Patrick Bums was proceeding up Mill street, to his residence, he was accosted by several rowdies, who knocked him down and beat him In a severe man ner, the injuries received obliging him to keep his bed since that time. Mrs. Bums hearing the cries other husband, came to his relief, and was also severely beaten. Ice.—Mes3r3. Haywood, Gage & Cos., who were compelled by uncontrollable circumstances, to sus pend their business tor a brief time, Lave now re ceived a fresh supply, and assure the public in a card. In another column, that there need be no far ther apprehensions of a failure to fill all orders. They have several ice houses, and every facility for doing a large business. The house is an old and popular one, having been established in 1850, and having a large run of long-time custom in Savannah. For Nassau, New Providence.— Prior to the re bellion considerable trade in fruits, salt, green turtle, etc., was carried oh between the Bahama Islands and the various ports of the United States.
