SAMIKL W. MUDS. KdUor. W. T. TIMIMPtOK, Aum lau Kriltoi. SAVANNAH. MONDAY, AUGUST 41. IMS. - n« LOCAL HATTERS SEE THIRD PALE. Daily Hkkai.u Office. ! Aug. 21. 2A. M. j An accident having disabled our press, we were obliged to ask the use of the press of our cotemporary of the Republican,until onr own could be repaired. This courtesy, usual among members of the fraternity, and which the proprietors of tliU paper have, in time past, taken pleasuie in extend ing to the Republican, wag not denied us, and our last three issues have been printed in the Republican office. Last lfght about one o'clock our pressman was notified by Mr Hayes, editor and proprietor of the Repub lican, that in consequence of some strictures on a recent editorial of bis. contained iu the correspondence of the Herald, writ ten by Mr. Mason, tbe editor of Ibie paper, be would not conseut that another issue ot the Herald should be printed on his press. In ibis dilemma, we have no alternative but to make up so much of the matter preparer! tor our Monday's issue as can be printed upou a smaller press, and give it to tbe public with this explanation. It is proper to state that Mr. Mason, as is knovfu to the editor rtf the Republican, is absent trom the city. THE WEATHEK ASD CROPS. A delightful aud welcome cbauge in tbe temperature of tbe atmosphere has succeed ed the violent storm of wind and rain which passed over our city on the ltith iust., and the weather-wise assert with confidence the termination, now, of the hot season so se verely felt In July and the first week of this month. Judging trom all the information we have been able to gather respecting the crops of com, potatoes, peas, >fcc., the present year bids fair to be one of the most fruitful that has ever been known. The crops consist, for the most part, of the necessaries of life, to the exclusion of articles intended for the distant markets. With an abundance of corn and potatoes there will, at any rate, be uo suffering. The high prices now paid for cotton must result in tbe general circulation of money, aud contribute greatly to relieve the people of the financial embarrassments under which they have been patiently laboring since tbe return of peace. Taking this correct view of the present condition of things we think tbe Southern people may properly regard it as a good omen that Providence smiles upon them in these manifestations of merciful beneficence. We sincerely rejoice that the period of greatest suffering has passed, and that in fu ture we may look for more cheering ac counts. THE LADIES OF ÜBORUIA AND THE RFLEASE AND PARDON OF JF.F FERSUR DAVIS. Mrs. F. A. Campbell, Miss A. A. Bull, and Mrs. S. W. Swanson, of LaGrauge, ap peal to the ladies of Georgia to move at once in the matter of petitioning President Johnson for the release and pardon of Jef ferson Davis. In response to this appeal, a meeting of the ladies of Augusta, had been called, to meet at the Masonic Hall, in that city on Tuesday last, to take such action as might be deemed advisable. By the Constitution alist of the 15th we observe that the meet ing hail been deferred, and that the petition for the release and pardon of Mr. Davis would be presented to the citizeus tor their signatures at their residencies. The move ment is, we believe, to be general throughout tbe State, if not throughout the States comprising the late Confederacy.— Whatever may be the iutlueuce of such an appeal to the President in behalf of the distinguished chief of tiie late rebel govern ment, it will, uo doubt, receive the signa tures of the great majority of the ladies of the South, secessionists and unionists. Modern Finundering-Pauic among the Bull* a ltd Btrih ol' Wall Street. We give this morning a full account of the last grand financiering operation in New York, by which it will be seen that the sus ceptible Jenkius has been entirely eclipsed by that bold operator Ketchum. The discovery of these great financial operations, has uad the effect to produce quite a panic among the Bears and Bulls of Wall street, with an alarming tumble in stocks. The editor of the Herald is evidently alarmed at tbe pros pect. He says in his issue of Wednesday : There was a terrible excitement in Wall street yesterday. The scenes of 1837 and '57 seemed likely to be re-enacted, aud even on a m_>re gigantic scale. See our uews col umns and money article for particulars. Tbe present week opened in that famous street with a decidedly panicky feeling. The Phenix Bank affair had engendered distrust, and the suspicions that hung upon the oper ations ot one of the gold speculators on Sat urday became glaring facls on Monday, and increased the excitement. Yesterday morn ing tbe street was alive with tumors; stocks were pressed on the market, and when it was evident that an outburst of some description was likely to be the feature of the day, some of tbe leading railroad shares suffered a de cline of eight to ten per cent from tbe quo tations of Monday. When it became known tkft one of tbe mo* prominent firms bsfi came intense What tbe result will be re mains to be seen Perhaps many will be forced into the position of bankrupts before tbe close of another day. Tbe beginning of the end is approaching, and unless wane radi cal change is made, and that speedily, in <>ur financial system, we must pass through a depressing ordeal before we regain our for mer healthy condition. It was so in England during tier monetary troubles between 1815 and 1825. Panics, revulsions and defalcations were of alin.ASt weekly occurrence while she was endeavor iug to restore her fiuances, and some of the leading men in the kingdom, including those holding high military stations as well as naval officers and noblemen, were swallowed up in those frequent financial maelstroms. If we would avoid those difficulties we must change our course, and check ihe inordiuate desire for speculation that has seized the minds of mo't of the men who operate in the vicinity of Wa’l street. Removal of a Collector. —Mr. Simeon Draper, Collector of the Port of New York, has been removed by President Johnson, and Hon. Preston King appointed as his succes- I or. Ex Collector Draper is charged w ill) having been in the habit ot exacting a tariff oi uis own on merchandise, to the extent of one cent per pound ou ail the cotton shipped here from tbe Sonth, w'ith a variety ot other ees aud exactions, under the guise of truck age, porterage, weighing, insjiectiou, <fcc., all without any shadow of authority of law. The one cent a pound paid on cotton was iu addition to the internal revenue legal im post authorized at two cents a pound. This enormous exaction, says the Herald, has bei n directed to be paid back, the Secretary ot the Treasury so instructing his Collector, Mr. Draper. And, of course, apart trom any po litical reasons, this condition of things ren dered the removal imperative, which it ap pears was immediately determined upon by President Johnson, giving Draper barely time to adjust bis accounts if be can. Trouble with tile Virginia Negroes. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says : Grave difficulties have ariseu between the citizeus of Mecklenburg county, Virginia, and the Ireedmeu heretofoie living as slaves iu that county. The presence ot armed ne gro troops in the county does not seem to operate to stay the ravages of the free ne groes, who, congregating at one or two or more prominent poiuts in the county, kill the sheep, poultry and hogs, and devastate tbe cornfields, melon and other patches, without stint. The white people are repre sented as being paralyzed, refusiug to pro tect themselves, fearing that the military power will bear heavily upon them should they interrupt the proceedings of the negro marauders Goveinor Peirpoint and the State authorities, without exception, are vety much exercised upon the important suhiect of what is to be dooe with tbe negroes ot the State. It is certainly a black enigma. Religious Notice The annual conference of the Methodist Protestant church for the Georgia district, will bold tbe next session at Sbaron Grove, Fayette county, 12 miles trom Griffin, ou the Newnan road, commencing at 11 o’clock A. M. on Thursday, the 12th day of October next, embracing the third Sabbath. W illiam Griffis, Chairman of District Committee. CaT All newspapeas in the State friendly to Christianity, will please copy. The Raleigh Standard, the organ of Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, lays down ns landmarks lor good Union men. among other things, an unconditional and cheerful sub mission to the national government, the in sertion in the State constitution of a clause forever prohibiting slavery, tbe prompt non recognition of debts conti acted by the State in aid of the rebellion, and unqualified op position to negro suffrage. President Johnson, with his family, accom panied by his executive staff', was to start on the steamer, River Queen, for a trip down the river on Saturday last. The party would proceed as far as the Capes, returning on Monday morning. Counterfeit five dollar bills on the New York and Erie Bank of Buffalo have made their appearance. They are a close imitation of the genuine, and well calculated to de ceive. The cashier’s name is printed. We tee it stated that Col. A. P.

The defalcation amounts, it in stated, to nearly three hundred thousand dollars, which will seriously affect Mr. Graham, unless the house of Mortis Ketchum, Sou A Cos., the senior pfcrtntr or which l» the father of the defaulter, pat* l * and *oiAe disastrous event* may take place before quiet is again re*»u>r**«|.
