Newspaper Page TextThe Savannah Daily Herald, MONDAY. ArGIST 14, 1808. FROiir OI B ETENING EDITION OF SATURDAY. bmjzadstuffs and export GOLD. We have connected these two topics as intimately associated in the commercial and commercial movements of the United States. Wc need not remark to the intelligent reader that in proportion as the harvests in Europe fail to supply breadstuff's for European con sumption, will there be a foreign demand and market for a portion of the large sur plus produced in the Western section of the United States; and that in the ratio that we enn supply this demand, will be onr means of paying for our imports of European mer chandise, and consequently limit the demand for gold, to meet this liability. The New York Journal of Commerce, with its usual ability, has examined this subject, and comes to the important conclusion that the grain crops in Europe will be less than an average. Gambling In Stock*. The financial policy of the French Govern ment for some years past is in contrast with that pursued by the British and American Governments. The former appeal to thpse native instincts for gambling which owe their development to favoring circumstances. The savage as well as the civilized man—the Mexican and the frequenter of Baden-Baden possess that propensity in common that tempts the fortunes of the cock pit and the faro table. It is among the moral obligations of government to keep this propensity under restraint, and not give it room for expan sion. It Is, perhaps, not inconsistent with the policy of a government like that of France, which derives a revenue from licensed gam bling houses, to stimulate the propensity for gaming by offering, among other induce ments to the takers of a public loan, the temptations of a lottery ; but, among otbei claims to the moral approbation of tbc world, is that neither the British or American Gov ernments has presented, among other induce ments to subscribers to their loans, the chances Os a lottery, which is now the almost invariable practice of the French Govern ment. The natural inclination for gambling receives too great an impulse already in the wide field presented by stock speculations, that it should receive from the public au thority an additional stimulus. Health of the City. We have, on several occasions, stated that Mavannahwas iutbe enjoyment of a degree of good health that will compare with the most favorable seasons. The indications were unfavorable down to a recent period. An uncommon fall of water, and a high de gree of solar heat, caused apprehensions of an opposite result; but tbo state of the at mosphere gives no signs of an epidemic and any kind. The sanitary arrangements (4 of the best kind, and if the removal of the local causes of success will insure the health of a city, the people of Savunnah have every reasonable assurance of the continued enjoy ment of this blessing. Hunker 1 * Magazine. The August number is replete with infor mation interesting to the Banker, the Mer chant aud to Statitieians generally. The in itial article is especially valuable to Bank of ficers. It contains a catalogue of all the standard works on Bauking, with brief criti cisms on their respective excellencies, with a view to the more perfect instruction of those engaged iu this branch of business. All other information useful to the Banker and Merchant is embraced in this useful Mer cantile and Banking Miscellany. Extraordinary Racing—lndians versus Horses—Tlie Indians Victorious. The Chicago Tribune on Monday says: “On Saturday afternoon a number of races took place over the Chicago Driving Park, in the presence of the largest assemblage of people which we have seeu there this season. There were fully two thousand persons pres ent, among whom were many of our leadiDg citizens, and quite a number of ladies. The occasion of this large gathering was to wit nesss one of the most singular races that has ever'taken place in this country. Two In dians were entered against two trotting horses. The former are known as extraordinary run ners, while the horses have earned a good reputation as fast nags. The match was such a singular one, that not only the sporting fra ternity, but the public generally were more or less excited about it, and the result was looked forward to with considerable iuterest. “The indians are Deerfoot and Stevens, and they both belong to the Seneca tribe, of New York State. They possess all the pecu liarities of their race, are of medium height, loose, active and wiry looking, and move along with that slouching gait peculiar to the Indians. They are youug men and go about preparing for a run with all the coolness im aginable. They thiuk no more of starting lor a run of ten miles than others would think of takiug a pleasure walk. Their op ponents were Mr. Gate’s well-known bay mare ‘Princess,’ aud Mr. blasting's equally well-known horse ‘Cooley,’ both of which have made remarkably good time on more than one occasion. The met and horses were all in good trim, while the weather was all that could be desired. The race was for a purse of one thousand dollars, and was to be run in the following manner: The Indians were to run two miles and twenty rods while the horses trotted four miles—the Indians to relieve each other during the race, aud (he horses likewise. “Clos» upon four o’clock the men anu horses appeared in the field. The former were dressed in tights, and were the observed of all observers. A spot twenty rods north of'the Judge’s stand had been marked otf, and here Stevens took his positiou, while Deerfoot stood upon the starling line iu front of the Judge’s stand. It was arrauged that Stevens should run the odd twenty rods, Deerfoot, the first mile and Stevens the se cond mile, while Princess should oppose them the first two miles and Cooley the se cond. Before the start, and duriug the pro gress of the contest, bettiDg was freely in dulged in, and those who knew the Indians backed them heavily, while on the other band many persons staked freely on the horses. Several thousand dollars must have changed hands. “Alter the usual amount of exercise, Prin cess got into a nice trot and started at a rat tling pace, while at the same instant Stevens dashed over the twenty rods to the Judge’s stand with almost equal speed, when he sud denly stopped, aud lieerloot took up the face and started off at a tine pace. The mare trotted beautifully, and did not break through out the race, while the Indian ran splendidly at a steady rale, his lengthy stride carrying him over the ground with astonishing rapid - ty. As the mare passed the Judge's stand on her first mile Deertoot was at the half-mile post. So that the odd twenty rods had already been made up by him. He did his second half-mile at even a better pace than the firat, and though the mare continued to trot steadily, she could not overtake her fieet opponent, who arrived opposite the judge’s stand about three hundred yards in advabee of her. “At the stand Stevens took up fhfe race, and Deerfoot fell out, while the horses were changed by *Cooiey taking the road and ‘Princess’ retiring. These changes were, of course, made without the race being stopped or a second lost. As “Cooley*' crossed the score and relieved ‘Princess,’ Stevens was about three hundred yards ahead, along at a rapid rate, and he was near the first quarter post before tbe horse overhaul ed him. Between this point and the half mile post the Indian ran with amazing swift ness, and when tbe horse crossed the score and started on the fourth mile, Stevens had only about one-third of a mile to do. It was quite evident that the race was tbe Indian's, and Stevens saw this, and slackening his speed he did the last quarter in an easy pace. The horse trotted well, but it was utterly im possible for him to catch tbe Indian, and he had just reached the three-quarter post when Steven's passed the judge's stand amid the most vociferous cheering. The horse con tinued bis pace and crossed the score thirty six seconds later. “The result of the race seemed to be pleasing to the large majority of the crowd, for the Indians were cheered again and again. Time— * Princess’ did her two miles in .1.15, and ‘Cooley’ his two milesjn 6.88; total, 10.53. The respective times of the Indians we did not get, but they made the two miles and twenty rods in 10.17, thus beating tbe horses thirty-eight seconds. The men ran at about the same rate of spaed, and there could not have been more than two or three seconds difference between them.'' 1 Chapter on Teeth. ' Teeth are the great blessings, curses, and clwracteristics of humanity. A year or two ago, there was a capital picture in the Royal Academy, tbe title of which was, “Toothache in the Middle Ages.” A monk was sitting on a bench, on which he had laid bis untasted meal—and no wonder. Eat, sir ! He was past the howling stage; the skin of his check was light and stiff; you could .read, in tire anguish of his eyes, the red hot throbs which stabbed bis jaw,- be bad tied it up, and was Dursing it wilbal, dolefully in bis baud. Toe picture was truly catholic. Yes, at all ages, to all men, there has been, at one time or another of their lives, strong common sym pathy ; Sardanapalus might feel for a Inzar, Aristides the Just for Sir John Dean Paul— when he had a toothache. Is not the progress of tbe teeth a sign 7 Whether they be coming or goibg, whether at tbe first or last end of life, in tbe day or thq night nursery—do they not supply the liveliest illustratrions of our changing moods 7 Does not impatience bite her lips? Docs not rage make men grind their teeth', and desperation set and condemnation gnasii them 7 Does not tbo dog show his before be bites? Does not cold make them chatter in men, and excitement in monkeys? By tbe way. I’m afraid to think how much of the difference between those two animals rests upon the conformation of their respective teeth. I remember hearing a lecture by Pro fessor Owen, in which lie explained the dental distinction between his audience and apes. I really forget what it was. People clapped tiieir hands, aud friends nodded tri umphantly to one another, as much as to say, “ Mow the greAt man has settled the ques tion;” but it was, I thought, a wonderfully close shave. Do you know, reader—my stamps all stir themselves as I write! —do .you kuow that there are three hundred and foriy-oue dent ists in Loudon 7—professed dentists, besides all those who belong to the medical profes sion, and draw teeth incidentally—three hundred and forty-one, which, according to receut regulations at the War Office, is only I a few short of a battalion. Allowing a month’s holiday, you might have anew London dentist every day for a year, and even then leave some out; all principles, too, nnd-no assistants, but men with smiling confidence, supple wrists, immaculate linen— don’t you always notice the shirt front of your tormentor 7—and easy chairs. Oh, that half hour of anticipation the waiting room, when you turn over medical books and look at tbe prints .and pictures on the walls, and feel a sort of savage sympathy for each victim as he is earned away from the flock and swallowed up in the inner den, where you may sometimes hear him shriek, but whence yon never sec him re turn 1 The outer door shuts after a quaner of an hour —those were his remains goiug out! Then j’our own summons . But why recall the vision of that ghastly cham ber? Only, I must say that I thiuk the pro cess to be gone through betbie yon have a single tooth replaced, is more extensive titan need be. Why should he have the model of your whole jaw! I see him now, makiug at me with a little shovel full of warm wax—l hope it is new for the occasion, but it looks rather mottled—a little shovel, with a pot of wax about tbe shape and size of a penny bun, with a mouthful bitten out. “Impossible! my good sir!” But be pops it in, and squeezes it against the palate with such cbokiug adherence that every gustatory nerve goes into fits. We must forgive his consternation, wh#n the subtle judge of sauce and wine finds himself suddenly encountered by a pouud of soft second-hand candle wax. I really think some other preparatory' plan might bo devised. Couldn’t they do it by photography ? As it is, hours must pass after the operation before you can get rid of the pec, "'or cosmetic taste it leaves—some thing like (hat you might expect it you dined with tlie Lord Mayor of Greenland', and sat between a tallow chandler and a soap mer chant. Three hundred and forty one den tists id the London Post office Directory alone, besides those more or less instructed about teeth, discoverable in tile same volume —namely, one thousand eight hundred and ninety surgeons. Just cousider what an amount of carie9. in articulation, toothache, aud ill-humor this represents. The preponderance of the pro fession is measured by comparing it with another —take hairdresser. You want your hair cut whether you he well or ill—for eve ry tooth drawn or replaced you have your hair cut scores of times; for every dentist there ought to be fifty of the others, but there are barely three. It is true that much, probably most of the deutisls’ work, is to supply, not to withdraw. Take up the Times, and climb a ladder of dentists' advertisements; the extraction of teeth bears a small proportion to their re placement. The operation is so graphically attractive, so painless, so ingenious, that I wonder people don’t have it done for plea sure. It would seem to be a luxurious grati fication. Those who go to be shampooed, aud have their joints cracked will presently have all their teeth drawu aud put in again, once a week—say on Saturday, when they are tired. Oh Horrors I ’Twns the hour of midnight. A train on the New York Central Railroad was flying eastward, onward, as though pursued by dernous of the other world. In the car in the central part of the train, the passengers for the most part had retired for the night, wholly unconscious of the moments of hor ror so near at hand. The few who had not yet retired to their berths, sat dreamily, per-. haps thinking ol kind friends at home, from whom they hud recently parted, and whom, alas! they might never again behold. Per haps the minds of a few pondered upon the oil-read and *Oll-11601x1 tales of dreadful rail road accidents, and then, their very pulsa tion ceased, when they thought how soon might they themselves he plunged into some dark and yawning abyss, or precipitated into some terrible embankment. But, hark! what rumbling roaring sound is that which readies their astonished ear and holds them spell-bound by its dismal wailing. For a mo ment all is quiet as,the grave; then, as if by common consent, the spell is broken, and with an iustinctive burst of mingled despair and griefi each of the waking passengers rushes tor the berth wherein is slumbering, wholely unconscious of approaching peril, those that are most dear to them; ’twas parents calling upon children, and children crying out with terror at the awful summons of tbetr parents. Brothers cried oat for their bleeping sisters | to awaken, and htjgbtnd* fa aw rtf! agony I sprang to the berths of their slumbering 1 wives; all wan confusion, and tbe entire oar | was a scene of terror. Nearer and nearer came the rumbling sound, and it seemed as if It was approaching from each end the train. The moments of horror were, if possible, increased to smoth ered agony, ;J and again the roaring demon like sound is heard, but nearer, still nearer ; it seemed as if it was in that very car, and passengers looked, each at the other, to sec who among them bad per chance cried out and caused this awfnl ter ror.; Agaiu they heard it, and suddenly the door at each end oi tbe car was burst open, and the conductor at one end and the brake man at tbe other, each with countenances like spirits of the other world, drawing in their breaths a* if to make a last powerful effort, cried out with their stentorian voices; —“ Olt neida! ten minutes for refresh ments.” MILESO’ REILLY’S LAST SONG. The New York Sunday Mercury hss a cor respondent, doubtless of the “Epluribus Erin Unum Go Bragb genus’—we judge by his bad melisiau and because he sighs him self “Yankee Murphy”—who says lie left ttfe ould country for many good aud sufficient reasons, one of which was to quote his own language: “Me proximity to sicb a busom prollyflc young widdy as Mrs Victoary was rayther too much for the feelin’s of a susceptible young gentleman loike mesel’. Another ravsou was, I’d like to see poor ould Ireland take her position as a Green Sthripe, an’ an ixthrn shtar on the American flag.’’ On his arrival in this country he says he “ med the acquaintance o’ Private Miles O’Reilly.” He assures the Mercury that Miles “is a nice soshal gorsoon, a good judge o’ rye an’ a tip-top hand to sing a song,” in proof of which he sends the fol lowing : MTLE9 O'REILLY’S LAST SOXG.

In the establishment of sub-districts, to have the office of bis t‘£lmt^trict. POlnt e< “ 7 ° f 4CC “ B forthe People of He will have at least one agent, either a citizen, military officer, or enlisted man, In each snb-dlstrict This agent mast be thoroughly instructed in his du ti«B. He will be lurnlshed w ith the proper blanks for contracts, and will institute methods udeqaatc to meet '^ e uI hie district in accordance with the rules of t !“ B J! urea U' No fixed rates of wages will be pre scribed for a district, but in order to regulate fair wages in givin individual cases, the agent should have In mind minimum rates for his own guidance By care ful Inquiry as to the hire of an able-bodied mun when the pay went to the master, he will have an approxi mate test of the value of labor. He must of ronrse consider tife entire chango of circumstances, and be sure that the laborer haadue protection against avarice and extortion. Wages had better be secured by alien on the crops or land. Employers are cfc.-ired to enter tuto written agreements with employees, setting forth stated wages, or securing an interest in the land or croix or both. All Mich agreements will be approved by the nearest agent, and a duplicate filed in hi?office. Iu case there should be no agent within reach, the nearest postmaster will forward the duplicate of con tracts direct to the Assistant Commissioner for the State. POPS** it "penally called to section 4 of the law establishing the bureau, with regard to setting apart land to “every male citizen, whether refugee or frecd man,* 1 *c., and the same arrangement is recommend ed when it can be effected, between private parties. Already many farmers have rented lands to freedmen and refugees. This course is a recognition of the gen eral principal in the iaw. In order to enforce the fulfillment of contracts on both contracting parties, the Commissioner of the Bu reau lays down no general rule—the Assistant Com missioner m«st use the privileges and authority he already has. Provost courts, military commissions, local worts, when the freedmen and refugees have equal rl t hts with other people, are open to his use. In the great majority ot case* his own arbitrament, or that ol hin agent, or the settlement by referees, wll be sufficient. No Assistant Commissioner, or agent, is authorized to tolerate compulsory unpaid labor, except for the legal punishment of crime. Suffering may result to ®°rae i-xtent, but suffeiiuq la prele. rej to slavery, and 1* to some degree the necessary consequence of event*. te «H aetfons the officef should never forget that no substitute for slavery, like appreniiceraip without proper consent, or peonage, (1. e., either bolding the ale by debt, or confining them, without consent, e land by any system.] will be tolerated. Tbe Assistant Commissioner will designate one or more ol his agents to act as the general superinten dent of schqols (one lor each. State] for refugees and freedmen. This officer will work as much as possible in conjunction with State officers who may haveschool matters In charge. If a general system can be adopt ed for a State, it Is well; but if not, he will at least take cognizance of all that Is being done to educate refugees and n-eedmen, secure proper protection to -schools and teachers, promote method and efficiency, correspond with the benevolent agencies which are supplying his field, and old the Assistant Commission er in making his required reports. Surgeon C. W. Horner, Chief Medical Officer of the Bureuu, will have the general supervision of medical matters connected with refugees and freedmen. The Assistant Commissioners will Instruct their medical officers, as they have instructed other officers, to make the medical department sclf-snoporting as far a* possible. All public addresses of a character calculated to create discontent are reprehensible; bnt the Assistant Commissioner and his agents must explain, by con stoat recapitulation, the principles, laws, and regula tions of this Bureau, to all parties concerned. It la recommended to the Assistant Commissioners to draw np In writing a carelul summary to be publicly and privately read by agents throughout their respective districts. , O. O.
