[From the letter of our New York Corres pondent. which was anticipated by the news paper mail, we make the following ex tracts : New York, Aug. 16, 1865. MORALITY is generally thought to be at a discount in this wicked city just now, but people on shore are not always the most, immoral in the world— videlicet. A war vessel arrived here a few days since an# anchored in our harbor. She had not been here for over eighteen months, and had been cruising on the Southern blockading fleet. The com manding officer is a fond father, whose fam ily reside in Washington. It is not always the sailors who have a wife in every port, not by a long shot, and this proved true in the case of this Captain, for the vessel had not been anchored ten hours before he brought a flashily dressed female on board whom he introduced as his wife. Singular to relate, most of the officers bad similar wives! Some two or three mornings after their airival, and while a jolly breakfast was being discussed, the Captain and his “wile” at the head of the table, a boat came along side, and a little flax-headed boy came run ning into the cabin with an exclamation— “Oh papa! N how-glad lam to see you!”— Bombshells are sometimA, not always, en cased in iron, and this was one of them. The colors of a full-blooded rainbow were as naught compared to those seen in the face of onr moral Captain, and in choking accents, while caressing his little boy, he asked, “Where is mamma ?” The little fellow re lieved the horrible anxiety of his parent by saying “Oh, mamma sick—she is at , in New York!" much to the satisfaction of all present, who expected to see “mamma" walk down the companion way! The “wives” were all discharged that day, other contretemps being feared. Cannonading in our harbor.has been pretty continuous the past week. The Dutchman, whose frigate is not on the galiot model, neither is it of the Alabama model, is a jolly old fellow, who, it is said, follows the ex ample set by the Russian Admiral when here—i. e.—every time he drank the port gun was fired. If Mynheer drinks every time they fire certes he must punish an awful amount of liquor. Here we have two or three French war vessels anchored off the Battery, who “ follow suit” to the Dutchman, and then our own gunboats respond—so you see there is a right jolly bauging away of big guns, whieb serves to keep the loafers awuke on the Battery, and scares the flocks ot pigeons from their corn-picking propriety. Tuesday ft as the French Emperor’s birth-day —the Frenchmen dressed their vessels all over in bunting, sported their epaulettes and white duck pants, run out their guns, and blazed away all day, their bands playing national tunes, and their craft being visited by officers from all the war vessels iu the harbor. The sue de joie of the big guns is somewhat stunning, and tile rear of the fifteen-inch Dahlgreens of our ships com pared to the others is somthing like the growl of a lion over the bark of a pack of hounds. A DOMESTIC EPISODE of a curious nature occupies much space in the papers. Mr. Getty, son of a very wealthy pork packer, married several years ago the niece ot ex-President Harrison, and a very beautiful woman. In an evil hour he became infatuated with a sister of Gey. Spinolo, who wa9 a singer in one of the churches of Brook lyn and occasionally in concerts. He resist ed the appeals of bis wife to give up his pas si >n, and she finally told the story to his millionaire father. He informed his son that unless he abandoned this intimacy not one dollar of his millions should ever come to him. This proved ineffectual, and the father was as good as his word, making a will dis inheriting his son, which was discovered after the death of his father some three years sinee. The son went to Baltimore, became involved with secessionists and was locked up in the Old Capitol, where he stayed ten years. After his rejease he went to Canada and soon formed an intimacy, with a Mrs. Elliott, whose married life, had been unhappy and who was ready to elope. They came to New York and stopped at the] Lafarge House, as man and wife. He soon tired and left her, send ing her twenty dollars and a recommenda tion to return Canada. But the lady was plucky, and not only refused to do his bid ding, but employed the police and hunted Getty up, taking him back to her lodgings in triumph, During all this time the true wife had followed him from place to place, and at last, a few days since, preferred a charge of bigamy against her husband in one of the courts. He was arrested, and as it was sup posed, he was married to Mrs. Elliott, she also was taken into custody. On an investi gation, however, she swore positively to the contrary, and no other evidence being forth coming, tbs complaint was dismissed, and another brought of abandonment.dA pri vate interview between the husband and wife settled the matter satisfactorily, as he promised to live with and be kind to her, and they left for Washington on a second bridal tour. Mrs. .Elliott, it is thought, has gone back to Canada. FIGHTING VS. M'OOING. _ The distinguished .Major General com manding this department, is about to accom plish a flank movement of a tfender nature, and add another to his already long list ot conquests. Faithfully'has he served under the blaring flame of Mars, and his very faith fulness is an augury that bis best endeavors will be favorably viewed and smiled upon by the benign goddess ot love—Venus. In a few days the hero of Lookout Mountain will lead to the hymeuial altar a lovely daughter of Vermont. His success at that Muontain lead# many to believe they may in the future lookout for “little boys in blue” who will probabfy inherit their father's patriotism and military talent. MRS. ORUNDV has failed in her high purpose here. That is the verdict in this city. She was to give us first class satire, first class jokes, and A No. 1 wit—hut her satire has not amounted to shucks, her jokes are rehashed from old vol umes of the New Yoik Evening Mirror, and the editors doubtless have to retaiu for their own personal use what little wit they have got to dispense with it through their own columns. The Harpers are chief owners and their first edition of five thousand can now be counted at a much less figure. Who will succeed Mrs. Grundy ? > FLOGGED TO DEATH. A boy of fourteen, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, committed a petty offence lately, for which bis employer caused him to be seot to the House of Refuge, where a flogging waa administered which occasioned his death. A NEW LIFE-SAVING RAFT. yolept, the “Nonpareil,” has been tested with success in this harbor. It is composed of three airtight cylinders, of India rubber or gutta percha, each encased in another of heavy duck, connected with duck flanchers. On the raft are five “tants,” running cross wise agting as a cleat, and also as a stretcher to keep the cylinders apart. The cylenders are filled with air, and though the raft weighs but six hundred pounds, it is capable of sus taining eight thousand pounds w eight. Eigh ty persons have been carried at one time upon it. The cylenders can be inflated in ten minutes by means of bellows. And when aioat, the raft draws but three inches water. It is propelled by six oars, kept constantly in pockets between the cylenders, or by sail. It is a very valuable invention, and no vessel should be without it. NEW ENGLAND CORRESPONDENCE. The Prevalence of Crime—Diabolical Outrage upon a Mamed Woman in Boston—the wretch es in custody—The return of Thrives, Robbers and Rascals generally to their old Pursuits — The Constabulary Police—\Yhat it was ap pointed to do and ichat it does—Together with various Moral Observations, $-c., (fr., $-c., Bostos, Aug. 14th. (To the Savannah Herald.) The prevalence of crime in this community, as well as in the rest of the United States, is rather discouraging to those who believe that the world is growing better and prepar ing for the Millenium. The presgpt seems to be a time when one of those waves of im morality wasli over a people, without any special cause, to the terror of all who are law-abiding and virtuous. The excitement of the war, which filled our newspapers with staring capitals, and thrilling sketches is followed by local excitements, which are even more intense in the immediate neighbor hood to which they come home. Suicidts, murders roberies, rapes and all the hideous train of vice and crime, follow each other in quick succession, and “on horror's head horrors accumulate.” We had scarcely ceased to talk of the Roxbury murder—the mysterious murder of two young and inno eent children, in open day, less than five miles from this busy city, and in the thickly populated suburbs—when the public indig nation is aroused to the highest pitch by a diabolical outrage committed in the very heart of the city on a serene Sabbath even ing. Last evening a young married woman named Bates, respectably connected and above suspicion herself, was returning from a call, about 10 o'clock, through Court street to her residence, and when within ten rods of the Revere House, in this, one of the most public thoroughfares of the city, she was seized by four ruffles standiug in a doorway, her cries stopped by threa g and force, carried up stairs, thrown upon a mattress and ravish ed by each ot the incarnate fiends in turn. Fainting with horror at the inhuman treat ment she was restored to consciousness by dashing a busket of water iu her face, after, which, the violation of her person was con tinued. She was used with the most brutal rudeness, her clothes being torn from her by force, and for four hours she was kept there, more dead thau alive, and then thrnst half naked into the street. She staggered along towards her home, her blood on fire, her brain reeling almost in the delirium of agony, and soon met her anxious husband, to whom, in great anguish, she related the foul wrongs she had suffered. Furious and almost insane he rushed to a police station and related the story. This was between two and three o’clock this (Monday) morn ing. Several officers at once accompanied him to the place where the outrage was com mitted. One of the monsters was discover ered in the very room, and all the others were afterwards found secreted in another part of the building. They were identified and taken into custody, and to-day fully committed by the police justice to await the action of the grind jury. The building where the outrage was committed i9 nearly opposite the Revere House. It was used during the war as a rendezvous for recruits, and has been occupied for some weeks—a port of it, at least—as an office for obtaining employment for returned soldiers. Several of these returned soldiers seeking employ ment spend the night there, and for that pur pose the rooms ate kept open. When the poor victim was taken up stairs a sick sol dier, who was asleep on a matress on the floor, was roughly pushed off, and the mat ress taken to. serve the diabolical purpose of the wretches. This sick soldier aided in indentifying the prisoners, and the identifi cation is by that means made complete. What ought to be done with such deep dyed villians ? No human punishment can begin to be commensurate with their crime, and there is a damnable fascination in the commission of such outrages which causes the appetite for them to grow on what it feeds. And these men are returned soldiers. It is unjust to the vast body of honest, brave and patriotic men who composed the Union army, to take such men as their representa tives. They are more likely the men who went soldiering for large bounties, who de SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1865. serled, or skulked in the hour of battle. Such a drain of rascals the world never saw before as was that from our large cities to the army, to swell the body of camp-followers, and to engage in various misdemeanors like gamb ling, bounty-jumping, thieving, &c. Our regular crowds of thieves and rascals disap peared for a time, and many were foolish enough to suppose that we had got rid of tnem. But such men don’t get killed; they stay in the rear when there is any danger, and only go to the front when there is a chance tor plunder there. Now they have returned to their old occupations—only more reckless, bolder, more indifferent of life, and more thoroughly bereft of every redeeming quality. Unless the law is administered with swift vengeance we 9hall need a vigilance commute to rid the world of the worst set of rascals it ever groaned under. It is the duty ot every father, brother and husband to ut terly destroy every vestige of such fearful crimes, and I believe they would be fully jus tified in breaking open the jail where these miscreants are confined and hanging them in a row on Boston Common! The constabulary police is in very bad Oder in this commonwealth. The readers of the Herald who take notice of the New England correspondence may remember that the Constabulary Police bill was carried through the last Legislature as a substitute for a Metropolitan Police bill which the rad ical and bigoted friends of total abstinence and prohitorj* laws failed to secure, though they were very anxious for it. The bill pro vides, as passed, for a High Constable of the Commonwealth, with twenty deputies in Suffolk county, which comprises Boston, and one in each other county. The duty of the constabulary police, however, is co-exteu sive with the State, and so is Us power. Its particular line is to look after the sale of .rum and the fractures of virtue. It visits rum shops, brothels, camp meetings and gambling shops, and by-and-by it will be iu attendance upon musters and cattle shows. The Suffolk deputies have been very busy delivering the proclamations of the High Constable to the evil-doers, and they are re ported to assemble in solemn conclave, by night, on tlie State House steps, where they compare notes bj* the aid of dark lanterns. The press and the people are making all manner of fun of them, and the poor depu ties are about as sneaking a set as you can ind out of jail. Col. King, of Roxbury, late commander of the 4th heavy artillery, N. Y., was appointed High Constable. He is said to be a genial “cuss,” who takes a social “tod” without any apparent injury to his feelings ; but he was in so great a hurry to secure this office—to which a fat salary is 'attached —that he neglected his command when it arrived here, and for that piece of negligence he was dishonorably discharged from the service, with loss of all pay and al lowances. When High Constable King set about selecting his deputies there was quite a splurge made. He was so intensely pa triotic that he was determined to appoint none but veterans of the grand army; and to that purpose be adhered, so far as I know. But his appointment don't turn orrery well. One of his deputies was tameS'roiyee.'' Hayes had a parent, a venerable ward poli tician. Said parent went to a noted brothel and told the boss what-yon-call-it that a hun dred dollars deposited in his pocket would insure her business against official interrup tion. He could fix it, and would. The wo man of the house had an eye to business, and paid the sum, charging tlie same, I sup pose, to internal revenue tax. But the affair leaked out; a complaint was made. Hays was dismissed from the constabulary force, and tbe “aged P.” is supposed to be tranquilly meditating upon the way of the transgressor, and preparing for trial. In a tew days this was followed by another case. One of the deputies had graced with the laurels of war the name of McNamara. He was taken in charge last Saturday night,—being In company with the same Hayes—Charged not, being beastly drunk and picking the pocket „ daughter of the pave of all her hard earu ings. When accosted by the policeman, just after the pocket picking, he was indignant; and, bariug his mauly breast he displayed the badge of office. But this did not prevent his going to the station, thence to the Police Court, where he was held for trial at a higher court. Oh, yes; the constabulary police is a fine thing for the protection of the innocent and the punishment ofthe bad ! • Put all the rascals on the force, and the temptations they will there encounter will soon cause them to be taken care of. .

Your’s, truly, lota v scs • J Tennessee-State Bonds. —ln answer to many inquiries regarding the solvency of the j State bonds, Secretary Fletcher writes that •‘the aggregate indebtedness of the State of j Tennessee is about $23,000,000. No inter- I est has been paid since 1862. If the present loyal State Government is sustained, the ! State will be able to resume payment in two.; or three years. There is no thought of re- i pudiatiem, but the debt created by the Reb els will not be uoticed. Back interest will be paid. The $200,000 issued in 1861 by Gov. Harris, an appropriation for the Capitol grounds, was applied to treasonable pur poses and will probably be resisted. The resources of this State are equal to any in the South, and if the State Government can be kept out of Rebel hands, every dollar of her indebtedness will be paid.” We are fur ther informed that all the important railroads in the Stkte are prepared to pay the interests due, as soon as the State turns them over to the companies. This, we expect, will soon be done. In fact all that is required is the Commissioners to be appointed for that.pur pose, as the State has signified its willingness to turn them over whenever the company are paid. —Xasliviile Dispatch.

The matter is in good hands* and we hope to record substantial progress in a few weeks.

Before the late revolution, by which the Souibern States lost their negro property, it was by many disputed that the true policy ot these Stales was the fostering of manufactur ing enterprises. Many contended that, cot ton planting being the basis of all our pros perity, it was cheaper and better to confine our industry in the main to the production of the raw material, and to leave its manufac ture, as well as manufactures generally, to other regions. Many planters did not even raise a sufficiency of meat and breadstuff's for their own use, considering it cheaper to buy them with the proceeds of their cotton. This is what we call the “plantation system.’’ It was founded in error, and we always be lieved and contended, because it had the ef fect of increasing the production of cotton to such an extent as to lessen its price in the manufacturing markets; and if the price of the manufactured cotton fabric was also les sened by the large production, the benefit enured only in small part to the cotton plan ters, because while they raised four-fifths of the commercial cotton of the world, they did not consume one-fifth of the cotton fabrics. Moreover, it prevented the establishment and prosperity^among us of manufacturing enter prises, which, it fostered, would have com peted with those of distant regions, and thus have cheapened the implements, fabrics and materials that the planters had to use. ‘We were, under this system, opposed to protective tariffs and government bounties; when our true policy would have been to have built up among ourselves the branches of business that received protection and bounty, and thus to have shared the benefits conferred. By doing so we might almost double our population, and have so varied our industry as to have made these Southern States more nearly self-supporting than any other section of the country. Hut we dung to the vain delusion that “cotton waa king,” and it is too late now to bewail the errors of the past, Can wo so shape our policy in the future as to attain, under the free labor system, what we cogld certainly have attained under a system of mixed free and slave labor? We believe that, we may. and we think that if the at tempt is made and prjsecuted with energy, our recuperation from present prostration will be so rapid as to astonish the world.— Atlanta Tntelbgencer. Maine Democratic State Convention. Hon. James Howard, of Portland, Nominated for Governor—The Resolutions—The Policy of President Johnson Approved, s•<:. Portland, August 15, 1865. The democratic State Convention met at baflf-past ten this morning. Paul 8. Morrill, chairman of the Democratic State Commit tee, called the Convention to order, nomin ating the Hon. E. F. Pillsbury, of Farming toD, temporary diairman. Mr Pillsbury addressed the meeting, con gratulating them on the restoration of peace. He said if democratic principle had prevailed there would have been no war. But, not withstanding the great bloodshed, peace was again restored, and great responsibility now rests upon the democracy. An attempt is being made to destroy State sovereignty, which the democracy must frustrate. The policy of the republican party can only be forced upon the South at the point of the bayonet; and hut for one man that policy would have been adopted at all hazards, anil that man is the present President of the Uuitcd States. (Great applause.) For this we owe him a debt of gratitude. The de mocratic party, which is the real party of the Union, seeks ascendency, hot for power, but for the good and welfare of the whole country. He hoped that President Johnson would re ceive themjsurance of fifty thousand men in, Maine, gflU and true, who tflguM seek to ‘Wij'up Uwarm so long# hi'sustained thh ark ot the covenant. - Hon Bion Bradbury presented the report of the Commsttee on Resolutions. The first expresses profounded gratitude to God that the clash of arms is no longer heard iu this land. -* The second resolves that we should sa credly cherish the memory ofthe dead, fallen in the struggle for constitutional government, and honor tlie living who have perrilled life and fortune in tbe same great cause The third asserts that with tlie cessation war its bloody and barbarous spirit should be banished from our midst, and hatred and vengeance should yield to Christian charity and magnanimity. The fourth asserts that it is tbe duty ofthe federal government to re-establish at the ear lieit momeuLwith the least possible interfer ence, the true constitutional relations be tween itself and the late revolted States, and exert all its legitimate power to promote that fraternity and universal harmony neci ssa ry for the happiness and glory of the repub lic; destined.to be one and indivisible forever. The fifth resolves that the democrats of Maine re-assert the fundamental principles notions, with entangling alliance?StflrtfhliiAH the support of State governments in their constitutional lights, aud the preservation of the general government in its whole consti tutional vigor; a jealous care of the rights of elections; absolute acquiescence in the will of the mj 1 1 ; a well disciplined mili tin, and the supremacy of the civil over the military authority. j Tiie sixth resolves that the ballot is the right of every American citizm, to be res tricted only as the public safety demands; and that each State possesses the constitu tional recognized right of pitscribing the qualifications of electors. ; The seventh pledges the parf* to demand equal taxation. The eighth asserts that the amsadvanced by towns, cities and the Stai are a llgiti mate charge upon the federal /overnment. The ninth resolves “that sdisbing narrow considerations, we will coiialiy support Andrew Johnson in the poliejhe has taken towards placing the rebel lates in their proper situation, and harnronilng conflicting questions.” The tenth congratulates thefliole country that among the acts of Pre lent Johnson “ we find him returning to ti irst principles of our government in refusin o accept gra i tuities.” | The eleventh resolves tba he assassina . lion of President Lincoln wi m act of un | mitigated barbarism. i M.

These are bnt instai ! Advices received at the t Department from the American consu Malta, state that the cholera is rsj there to a fearful extent. A Romance in Brief. Ooly a day or two ago a strange case pre sented itself at the Tombs, in New York. A woman of about fifty years of age was arrested in Centre street for excessive drunk enness, and was borne in a totally uncon scious state to the Egyptian structure. She was a wretched and painful looking spec tacle ; her attire soiled and in tatters ; her face bloated and frightful with the traces of the long indulgence of her base passions.— Still when she was comparatively sober, she spoke with a degree of propriety, and an in tonation that indicated culture and good breeding, and evinced, through-all her squal or and decadence, a familiarity with what is known as “better days." My informant, an elderly gentleman, born and reared in New York, says he questioned her closely, and discovered she was the daughter of a once wealthy merchant; that she married a physician of promineuce nearly thirty years ago: that he well remembers the evening of her nuptials in Bleeker street, on which happy occasion the beauty, wealth anu refinement of the city were assembled ' at her parent's elegant mansion. Three years after her union she went abroad w ith her husband ; and while in Italy, fell in love that is the technical phrase, I believe— with some handsome adventurer who assura ed to be a French Marquis, and ran away rvith him to his estates in Bordeaux, which estates proved to be imaginary, of course. Iu a few months the villain deserfed he* and after leading a life of intrigue and dissipation st Paris, Berlin and Florence, she returned to this country as the mistress ol’ an artist she had encountered at Rome. For several years site had been in the habit of essaying to drown her sorrows and remorse by the use of stimulants, until the habit became so fixed she could not conquer it. Iu oue of her periods of intoxicated phrenzy she abandoned her new lover and took refuge in a common bagnio. From bad she w ent rapidly to worse ; and she lias now for nearly a decade been the inmate of the vilest dens in Worth and Church sweets. Who would or could recognize in the re pulsive harridan ol to day the graceful, ac complished, and lovely Irene , who ever drew after her a long train ot fastidious ad mirers, and for whose smile the most elegant of gallants contended ? To the fair young wives, who sit with their “spiritual brothers” over the rich wine that spaikles brighter at midnight beneatu their reflected blushes, in the gorgeous chambers of Fourteenth street, while the doting hus band sleeps soundly in the avenue amid his lumiuous desolation and his unconsciously wounded honor, there might be a moral iu Irene’s history; but of course there is not. A ou, my pretty Elfridas, are in no such danger; tor every woman believes herself to be an exception to her sex, and to be secure from adversity, while her lover whispers de licious poison in her ear. Alas, the day will come when the lover will not be near, and the whisper will not be heard, but when the rose leaves of passion will have fallen and left bare and sharp the concealed and cruel thorns!
