HfitV TO OBTAIN THE HERALD REG
ULARLY.
We eften have complaints from i*sidents of Savan
nah and Hiltoa Head that they are not able always to
-stake the Felud. The demand is sometime* so
grs&t as to exhaust an Edition very soon af*er its issue,
and those who wish to hare the Hceatn regularly,
shorid subscribe for it. We have faithfhl carriers in
ssv annan and at Hilton Head, sad through them we
always serve regular subscribers first
RUSIMESS DIRECTORY OF SAVANNAH.
We are nowjJubßahlng a column and more of brief
business announcements, carefully classified, under
the general head of "Savannah Business Directory.”
It inclades some forty leading budneaa men and
lirnk of Savannah. We propose to retain tlit? as a
regular feature of the Herald. The expense of In*
setting cards in this department of the paper Is very
•.mail, andwc believe the advertisers will recolt e
more than a proportionate benefit. Parties wishing
to have their cards included in this Directory, enu do
so by sending them to our counting room, or hand
ing them to Mr. M. J. Divme, who la authorised to
receive them. Prepayment will be Invariably re
quired. .
AFFAIRS OF THE CITY.
The high figures at which re nth are likely to
rule in the city the coming year may have
a damaging effect on our business prospects
and our business njen. The idea seems to
have obtained vert’ generally in this commu
nity, that unless a form Is settled on or near
the river it is impossible to make money
This is essentially a provincial idea, grounded
in "old fogevism,” and only worthy of a com
munity of very small traders. If we wish and
intend to enlarge the business sphere of our
city beyond its present contracted limits, we
must enlarge our ideas and come square up
to the requirements of this age of expansion
and improvement.
We believe the tendency of business in
this city has always been towards the banks
of the river, which has been ascribed to the
fact, that sot many years anterior to the era
ol railroads the great movements of produce
to and from the city had been through this
only channel of communication by steam;
yet to the retail trade of Savannah how few
customers do the water craft furnish. In
deed, it was owing to this peculiar feature in
the commercial history of Savanaaii that she
lingered so long by the wayside, whilst other
towns with few advantages have expanded
into citiqs apd are on their march to the dig
nity of a large metropolis.
We have now three railroads entering the
city at different points of the compass, and
through them, when in running order, are
received, perhaps, more than twot-hirds ol
all the products sent to this market ; and a
very large majority of the country custom
ers and nearly the whole of the transient pop
ulation that arrive and depart over the lines
of transportation.
An intelligent consideration ol these two
indisputable facts, in connection with still
another fact of equal significance—that we
find our city at this very time, lull to over
flowing, with active, s'irring business men,
who only want dwelling houses and business
stands at fair rents to induce them to cast
their lot with ns, and which is utterly im
practicabl—erecommeud the policy and ne
cessity of so enlarging the business area of
the city as to embrace eligible localities con
tiguous to the respective railroad depots.
There are many locations at or near these
salient points of business where improve
ments might be made readily, and a profita
ble business ensue in due time ; and we hope
The experiment will be made.
Many of the old residents of the city
might possibly repine at the expansion ot
improvement in the directions named ; but
that these portions of the city will eventually
be overrun and commercialized in the man
ner we have indicated, is inevitable.
We know that at the present high prices
of building materials of all kinds, it becomes
a serious undertaking to one who counts the
cost to put up a house. But we must imi
tate the example of our sister cities of
Charleston and Mobile ; and if we are not
able to put up large and sightly buddings,
we must build smaller ones. And If we
cannot build two stores we must content
ourselves with one. Give us low rents for
the present in the way we propose, advan
tageously to public and private interests,
and when this policy has worked out its in
evitable results, and give us a great city, we
shall find Market Square and Bay street
,-ibandoued to the small dealers, and active
enquiries will be heard for business stands
around the localities we have here desig
nated
CUE CHOLERA IN THE EAST.
The European press announces that this
tearful disease is gradually progressing west
wardly. having made its appearance in Italy
and Spain. The French and English journals I
manifest considerable alarm regarding the '
probability of its reaching their respective |
countries, and the most stringent quarantine
regulations have been adopted
It made its appearance iu one of the Asiatic
title* only a few weeks since, and has pro
gressed westwardiy with fearful rapidly until
it has reached tbe Eastern shores of the At
lantic- That it will reach the continent be
fore its final disappearance, no doubt is en
tertained by those who are familiar with its
history in times past.
It may not accomplish its passage across
the Atlantic before next spring or summer,
the broad ocean interposing a barrier that
requires a little time u> surmount.
AVill the Americab citizens, and particular
larly those In Southern latitudes take warn
ing, or will they complacently await the
tweaking out of the epidemic without ihe
adoption of every precautionary measure
that may be suggested by experience and
good sense.
The cholera first broke out in India, along
the Ganges, about 1864. Since that date, it
has re-appeared in India regularly once
every seventeen years. Its first appearance
in America was in 1832. Seventeen years
•KwwaadMhatls, in 1842, it returned tt«
a ’»country. According to this, it should
visit ut again in seventeen yean from IM9 !
that is in 1866.
We do not believe that there Is any In
variable law Involved in the matter, but it
will be as well for people to be on their
guard.
In addition to the eholera, we learn a re
port from the upper Mediterraoian that a
new epidemic, even more tearful than the
cholera, has made its appearance. It is call
ed the Black Plague, and is so fatal In its
effects that the people of Constantinople mid
adjacent Mediterranean porta are hurrying
from their homes to escape its ravages.
CAPITAL VERSUS LABOR.
The antagonism between capital and la
bor is likely to b« renewed and with in
creased bitterness since hundreds of thou
sands have been mustered out of service. At j
the North a9 at the South the disproportion j
is considerable between these great elements j
of production, but neatly in the reverse or- '
j der At the North there is a supeiflux of|
| labor. At the South there is a deficiency of,
i both At the North we may expect to hear ,
of strikes and combinations for increase of
wages At the South there is perhaps not
enough capital to employ additional labor, i
This relative excess is likely to continue
until cash payments are resumed, and the
specie standaid is restored. Then money
will become scarce, and reduce the
relative disproportion between them, bat
will not improve the condition of the la
borer.
Let us look Into the facts of history for
light on this subject. Not to go lather back
iliap to the close of the general war in Eu
rope, nud the resumption of specie pavments
by the Bank of England. This occured la
1822 after a suspension of a quarter of a cen
tury. It was not long before there was a
super-abundance of capital in England, so
mucb so that millions of dollars were lost in
speculative schemes, but the great branches
of production were excessively distressed,
agriculture, manufactures and commerce.
The monopoly eajoyed by England being at
tn end—the competition she encountered
in foreign markets in trade and mauufac
rnres so reduced her profits that sire had
scarcely any emplopment for her laboring
classes. The three great departments of in
dustry acted and reacted on each other. It
was some years before they were restored
to their natural and normal condition.
The next memorable example was that of
the United States. The war of 1812 compell
ed the generel suspension of specie payments.
They were net generally resumed before
1817, but the stagnation of all branches ot
business continued down to 1824 with the
difficulties of the working classes in finding
employment. The comparative scarcity of
money led to the same results in England
and the Uuited States They born the same
fruits.
Let us now pursue the analogy down to
our own times. There is this difference be
tween the case of the Uuited States in 1865
and in 1812, not in the Juration of the two
wars, but in the greater destruction of oapitul
in 1865, than by the war ol 1812, rendering
the disproportion and the antagonism, con
sequently between capital and labor greater
in the latter than in the former period.
MERCHANTS MAGAZINE.
The contents of the number for the month
of August will lie found copious in statistical
details highly useful to mercantile readers.
There is a discriminating and concise ac
count of the recent convention at Detroit.
An article on Marine Insurance into which
the most interesting information in relation
to the history of Insurance is well condensed
—a satisfactory account of the finances of
the State of New York—the price of gold at
New York from June 21, 1864, to June 80,
1865, tabulated, showing (1) the receipt of
gold from California; (2) the imports of gold
from foreign countries; (3) the export of
gold to foreign countries; (4) the amount of
gold paid for custom houso duties: and (5)
the amount of gold paid out by the treasury
—the United States debt. The Commercial
Chronicle and Review embraces those cir
cumstances that have influenced the demand
and supply of capital for the present month
with several appropriate remarks on the
leading financial and commercial events, in
the Journal of Banking, Currency and
Finance. Avery instructive paper on the
resources and progress of Minnesota follows,
besides a variety of other miscellaneous iufor
tion.
Restoration of the South, Socullt and
Commercially. —From every quarter of the
South, says the New York Herald, we hear
of her restoration, socially and commercial
ly. Steamship lines hare been re-establish
ed, telegraphic communications re-opened,
mail facilities renewed and railroads recon
structed all over the country. This work of
restoration is going on quietly but vigorously
in the natural and legitimate way. But
what are the politicians doing, both North
and South 1 Instead of helping In this labor
of restoration they are making a great fuss
about the nigger. The nigger-worshipers
are striving to make another bleeding Kansas
out ol tbe South. This was begun by Chase,
who soiled his Judicial ermine by advancing
mischievous sentiments about negro equality
and all that, and the mischief he began is car
ried on by bis followers and partisans. It
would be well for President Johnson to look
ufter this style of partisans in office in the
I South. While the work of restoration is
; going on with success, socially and comraer
-1 daily, the politicians are busy with their
I plots, and casting obstacles in the way of the
return of repose, prosperity and security to
| the Southern country. The President should
! turn all these fellows out of office
A despatch from Raleigh, North Carolina,
gives the substance of a letter which it is
said Geu. Kilpatrick, who is now travelling
through that State, has written to one of its
prominent citizens, in which he expresses as
his opinion that rtcopstroqtion there, as well
as in the remainder of the South, has been
commenced at least four years too Boon. He
“ represented as stating it as his belief that
the majority of the people of that section are
not to he trusted, and will, as soon as they
again recover their lost political power, com
mence a persecution ot all Union men as
well as the negroes, endeavor to re-enslave
the latter, and, iu conjunction with the cop
perheads of the Nortn, attempt to secure a
repudiation of the national debt and ulti
mately make another desperate effort to ef
fect their separation from the Union.
We see it announced in the Charleston
papers that the Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad -is now open to Kingsville, and that
on aud after tbe first of September a daily
train wIH be run on the Northeastern Rail
road to couaect with the trains of tbe Wil
mington and Manchester Road at Flortooe,
S. C,
Central Railroad.
By the nnnorncement in another column
it will be seen that a daily train Will com
mence i tinning to Station No. 4 1-2 on the
Central Railroad on Monday next,connecting
with a line of backs from that point to
Waynesboro, on tbe Augusta and Savannah
Railroad. Passengers taking the cars hereat
halt past six o'clock in the morning, will
reach Augusta the next morning in time to
connect with the train on the Georgia Kali
mad sot Atlanta. Freight for Augusta and
intermediate stations will be received on and
after to-morrow.
How to Votk —How to Obtain Pa boon
We hare received a copy of a pamphlet,
compiled by Mr. Salem Dutcber, tbe able
editor of the Augusta Constitutionalist, con
taining full information with regard to the
method of procedure to l>e adopted by the
citizens ot tbe Southern States in order to
obtain pat don, to protect themselves from
consficatiou, and also to facilitate them In re
establishing their rights of citizenship. In
addition to this tbe pamphlet contains the
Amnesty Proclamation of President Lincoln,
the Attorney General’s Opinions thereon, the
Proclamations ot the Provisional Governors
of Georgia, Alabama oed South Carolina,
and various other interesting nud important
documents pertinent to our present affairs.
Tin: ('ottos Seizckr Business.—Hon. W.
P. Mellen, Special Supervising Trensury
Agent, and Hon. T. C" Callicott, Assistant
Agent at ViCKsburg, are in Washington City.
Their business relates to the seizure of rebel
cotton by the government In the Southwest.
It is said that Major Gen. Sheridan endorses
the proposition of tbe merchants and plant
ers of the Southwest to tax all cotton fifteen
per cent., and to abandon the attempt to
confiscate any of the staple no accouut of
any supposed right acquired by the United
States, on account of its having been claimed
by the Confederate Government as its prop

There never was a truer picture of the
melancholy existence led by the printers and
editors of daily papers, than the following,
which we tnke from the Indianapolis Jour
nal.
Let those happy gentlemen and ladies who
are enabled to enjoy the Joke far r.iente, In
breezy porticoes, or under murmuring trees,
give one moment of sympathy to their less
fortunate fellow creatures, the slaves of the
pen, the scissors, and the types':
Little does tbe reader know of the toils
and vexations incident to labor on a morn
ing paper. As the damp sheet, filled with
(he latest news, is opened at tiie breakfast
table, and the eye eagerly devours ‘‘where is
Sherman ?" "where is Sheridan ?” “what is
Grant doing 7" "what have we gained?"
‘‘what 10-t ?” and "the situation" is read,and
ull tbe editor thinks, and what the funny lo
cal saos, and the facts and fancies presented
cither to amuse or put the thiuking faculties
inoperaliou—does the reader think for an
instant of the throbbing brain, the fevered
brow, the incessant treadmill toil, necessary
to create and gather so much from all quart
ers of the earth? Not lor a minute! He
has paid his money. He takes his choice.—
But let us give him a little history of ijfe on
a daily paper, and it he don't sympathize, he
will ai least know how hard a thing it is to
labor and to wait.
At curly dawn (for we will commence
when the paper is out, and go on till the
next day break j numerous boys are seen
rushing from the basement of the building
where the paper is printed; these are tbe car
riers. Next follow tbe mail bags to their
ditterent localities. As the sun rises, the
tired pressmen and engineer are seen ernerg
ing, pallid with nightly work. As it gets
higher, the working force of the office may
lie seen coming in, until at 11 A. M. all may
be at the office.
iu the composition room the cases are
filled in tbe morning, preparatory to setting
up the next day's paper. The tired w ork
men of the night before—for it is a self-evi
dent fact that all printers on morning papers
are constantly tired—wearily fill their cases,
looking now and then, if it be a pleasant
day, on the gay, healthy, busy throng in the
streets beneath them.
Then they go to dinner, not with an appe
tite, for an appetite does not exist in the
bowels of a morning paper printer, but with
a kind of craving to till up with something,
ihe same as men eat dried apples at a cheap
boardiug-hoUBe, or babies eat dirt. Well,
dinner is over; two o'clock comes, and
they pitch in to work. Then they' go to
supper, and find tbe way thronged with
men whose day’s work is doue, knowing
that in two hours their toil commences, to
run all night, Supper is soon over. An ex
hausted man cats hut little. Eight o'clock
finds them at work.
Up stairs the gas blazes, and twenty pale
men work. Illegible communications bother
their eyesight. A heated, fetid, stifling at-
Biosphere destroys their lungs. Constant
attempts to make sense out of nonsense
worry their brains. Yet the fingers are busy;
wile and little folks at home look to them
for food. Twelve o'clock midnight! The
edit >riuls and locals are up lbr the next pub
lication, ar.J in comes the telegraph, in de
tached pieces, like lingering sweetness long
drawn out. If any horrible sceptre was ever
invented to trouble guilty mind, or to make
men Insane, it is the telegraphic despatches
of tbe Associated Press.
Full of abbreviations, omissions of words,
nonsense personified, bow can a reasonable
being expect a rational man, after fourteen
hours of work, to make head or tail of it ?
Yet it is sometimes done. No thank* to tbe
operator.
Well, tbe telegraph is up, and, the various
“ slugs ” having corrected, the foreman
makes up tbe paper, and tbe clock strikes
four. Then the tired boya go borne, to seek
uneasy rest, and to meet tbe tired pressman
again the next morning who has been run
mi <g the owl train all night.'
How, amid the weary hours, they pant for
tbe fresh air, tbs pen need not tell. How
they look at maps tp find the name of a
place, and long for the island* of (he sea,
where the breezes of health may f*n their
cheeks aud the clanging sound oi machinery
does not come, it needless to mention. They
toil into another world, for their reward

Nyiileiloui Disappearance of a Young
Lad).
I From the Troy Press, August 1,;.)
Considerable excitement exists in Glen’s
Falls and vicinity over tire mysterious disap
pearance of a young girl whose parents
reside a short distance front that village, on
the road leading to Saratoga. The name of
the father Is Louis J. Young. Last Wed
nesday the eldest" of'four children, Agnes, a
bright, pretty girl of sixteen years, was sent
by her mother to get an egg from a turkey's
nest some twenty or thirty rods from the
house. Tbe nest was on' the border of a
deeply wooded ravine, whicn stretches for
some distance up the south bnuk of the
Hudson river. Between the house and the
woods a slight knoll or elevation intervenes.
An hour elapsed aud another, and stfll the
girl did not return frortu her errand. Tbe
family at length became alarmed, search was
made, but nothing could bs found of the
missing girl. Wednesday night the
woods were thoroughly scoured, but tn no
effect. Thursday the startling intelligence
wus carried in every direction, tbe commu
nity round about aroused, and the search
commenced in earnest. For three days it
was kept up, but ail to no avaii. Tbe’egg,
found broken and lying on the ground a few
feet from the nest, "alone gave evidence that
Agnes had visited that locality. When she
left she had on her every day "clothing, and
was without cloak, shaw l or extra covering
of any description. Although every effort
had been made up to Sunday night, no clue
bad been tbuud to the girl or her wherea
bouts. It is believed she was kidnapped.
The restaurants of Paris are gathering
places for families as well as individuals, aud
ara typical of the easy way of living common
in that fashionable metropolis. All the Year
Round says:
In a Paris case you will find as many
worneu as men. respectable women, too, who
come with their hu-baudSj and bring their
children with them. There they sit in a
family group, round a marble table, sipping
their coffee or their wine, thinking it no
shame to be seen by any of their neighbors,
because there is nothing to be ashamed of.
ThP case is not simply a drinking shop.
There is no necessity to drink anything
stronger than coffee or eau sa erte ,- and you
may sit at you table as long as you please,
read the paper, play at dominoes, or chat
with vour friends. All the amenities of pri
vate life are strictly observed. The men are
gallant and polite; and you never hear a
word that could offend the most senaative,
and you never—or very rarely indeed—see
any one tipsy. There is nothing about the
place to suggest the drinking shop, or to im
press yon with obligation to drink. You feel
that you are at liberty to take your ease and
pleasure, and do as you like. So accustom
ed is the landlord to look upon his house as
a place for tbe convenience and general en
tertainment es the public, that he will some
times take more interest in a game of domi
noes or piquet than in the vending of his
goods. Madame will have to shriek to him
to come and attend to his business. In Paris,
even tbe lowest classes take their wine like
gentlemen ; in London they swill their liquor
like pigs. A London public bouse is a trough.
Sbootino Rkti bned Rkuels.—A St. Louis
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says,
no doubt with entire accuracy:
*• Accounts arerecelved from the interior
daily of difficulties between loyal men and
returned rebels. Jt is currently reported
that there are many cases of shooling re
turned rebels which are never printed. The
perpetrators do not report such incidents,
and the friends of the victim deem it inex
pedient generally to make any noise on the
subject’
It is but fair and true to say that the rebels
who have returned to Missouri have general
ly conducted themselves in tbe most nnex
ceptlonable manner. It is true, too, that
som* of them have been killed, and that
-ypimy-of them have been driven out of the
State. Os tbe death and banishment of these
men the public hear but little.—Sr. Bt

We take the following paragraphs from the
Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald of Saturday -.
Thief.— Last week, while Mr. John Price,
was returning home in his boat, he stopped
at the bouse of a friend near Reddy's Point,
for a few minutes, leaving his boat unguarded
at the landing, with a considerable supply of
provisions for bU family. Upon returning,
after a brief absence, behold his boat was
gone; provisions abd all having been
promptly stolen by some thief lurking about.
We learn the fellow was pursued hotly, apd
hope to learn of his capture, and summary
punishment

Ravages of tier Rasstaa Cattle Marralg
In London.
At a meeting held in London on tbe 31 vt
ult.. Professor Gaingec. the well known vet
erinary surg. 00, gave the following details of
the spread of the Russian cattle plague In the
British metropolis:
The first appearance of the malady, as far
as it can be at present trac*d, dates Iwck to
Jnne 27, when six cows, which bad been
purchased on tbe 19tb in the Metropolitan
Cattle Market, were seized with the disease
in Mrs. Nicholl's dairy, 15 Park place, Liv
erpool road, Islington. Circumstances fa
vored tbe spread of tbe malady, as, although
tbe six cows were placed in a quarautiuP
sbed, other cows happen to have been in tbe
same place, and thus tbe malady was propa
gated. One hundred and fifteen have died.
It Is impossible now to give tbe succeeding
outbreaks in order of time end without spe
cially naming ths cow keepers. I may mun
tlon "that tbe malady has been and is more
particularly confined to tbe districts of Isl
ington, Bt. Pancras.St. Maryleboue and Pad
dington. It is at tbe present moment raging
severely in Marylebone, at KUburn, Hen
don, Hampstead "and Sydenham, and also
It is said at Cbeam,. Surrey. Since Sat
urday I have received inf 'rotation d'-
rectiy and indirectly, hut chiefly from per
sonal inquiries, concerning twelve distinct
outbreaks. I shall state tbe particular* in the
order in which I gieaued them. 1. The first
shed I visited was in Marylebone. Farty
five animals, in apparently the most perfect
health, were in this yard on Thursday, t! c
20th. Tbe owner bad been to the Metropol
itan Cattle Market on the 14th, or there
abouts, and was shown some cattle laboring
nnder the disease. He approached them
within a yard or two, but feared to touch
them. Within a week, viz., on Friday, the
21st, be noticed some of bis animals sick,
saw they were laboring under tbe disease he
bad witnessed in tbe market. On Saturday
he began to get rid of them, and sold twen
ty-eight by Tuesday, the 25th. The remain
der of the stock was turned out in fields, I
know not where, and is said to be still
healthy. , 2. A cowkeeper in tbe immediate
neighborhood of the lait one had sixteen
cows in perfect health, and lost the whole in
a fortnight. 3. In an adjoining street a third
dairyman bad seventy cows distributed in
various sheds, besides seventy in tbe coun
try. A cow was liought in the Metropolitan
Cattle Market on the 10th ol July, aud on
the 16til this nnimal showed signs of the
disease. She had been placed in a shed
with twenty-three others. Twelve were
fat and were sold in the market before
any sickness manifested itself on them.—
Tbe other twelve were seized, including tbe
newly bought one, and of these eight have
died and four are still living, but not all likely
to recover. As yet tbe remaining slock in
distant sheds is in perfect health. 4.
An extensive cowkeeper, with a choice
stock of seventy cows, purchased a Dutch
beast nearly a month back. Within a few
days it was affected, and tbe seventy animals
were all seized within a 101 1 night I saw
three convalescent on Saturday, but in a very
reduced condition. 5. Near Cumberland
market a dairyman, having usually between
forty and fifty cows, lo?t the whole within
three weeks. 6. Another dairyman in the
same neighborhood has the disease among
his stock at tbe present moment. 7. In St.
Pancrass a dairyman has lost ten within a
few days. 8. A cowkeepeer in Camden
Town had a stock of sixteen cows in perfect
health in the early part of this mouth ; they
all died in a fortnight, He fumigated ana
otherwise disinfected his shed, aud bought
six lresh animals, of which two are already
dead. 9. Near Wiliesden a dairyman Ins
lost sixty-five animals within a fortnight.—
Tbe remedy be would suggest was that they
should adopt somewhat similar measures to ‘
those put in force when tbe amall-pox broke
out amongst tbe sheep in 1862, and which
bad the effect of successfully checking the
disease.
Health of Charleston.
Rumors having got in circulation that the
yellow fever was prevailing In Charleston,
the Courier denies the cxlstance of yellow
fever or any other epidemic or contagious
disease in that city. The editor says:
During the six weeks, commencing on tbe
first day of July and terminating tbe 12th
day of August," the deaths in this City num
bered 321, of which there were of
White Adults
Whlte Children 87
Colored Adults 102
Colored Children ;. ,199
This mortality was occassioned by no dis
ease peculiar to this locality, as the following
statement of tbe predominant ma ladies will
exhibit, as it will also tbe distribution of the
diseases amongst tbe various classes of
our people :
Whites. Colored.
Adults, children. Adults. Children.
Plarrhcea -10 tl 17 «
Dysentery ~2 i 7 76
Fever, Billions Kem..4 i u 4
Fever, Typhoid 4 1 11 li
Whooping Cough—o 0 1 20
It Will be observed that tbe mortality in
these cases is, for tbe most part, occasioned
by a disorder common to every part of our
country, and is smallest in tbe disease (Fever,
Biltious Remittent,) which most nearly ap
proximates to and partakes of tbe character
of that mucli dreaded bug-bear, the Yellow
Fever. Another noticeable fact which, we
believe, is usually accepted amongst medi
cal men as indicative of a generally healthy
season, is that a majority of the deaths occur
amongst the colored portion of our com
munity.
In the presence of these facts then, and
upon the authority of those most competent
to inform us, we emphatically contradict all
rumors Indicative of the presence or proba
bility of the Yellow Fever or any contagious
or epidemic disease other than those pre
sented in the above table, and which are re
cognized as having no “local habitation.''
On the contrary, there is every reason to be
live that by the blessing ot Providence, and
through the 9trennons- exertions which are
being made by tbe military authorities, tbe
hygiene of our city this summer is and will
continue to be unusually excellent, and that
we shall be exempt from the visitation of
any peculiar disorders.
Sfkcik Goino South. —The New York
Commercial says: We have the best au
thority for believing that the amount of spe
cie sent South overland, has for late weeks
averaged nearly one million dollars per week.
A portion of the people there have not yet
learned to esteem greenbacks, and will sell
only for gold or silver.
What South Cabolina has Lost. -The South
Carolinian estimates the loss ot South Caro -
lina by tbe war at $100,000,000. The loss to
tiie whole of the Confederate States can
hardly be much less than $10,000,000,000,
including negro property, or more than s>,-
000 for every one of the white population.
An Overland March.— The Quartermaster
General ba9 ordered that five hundred six
mule teams be at once organized for an over
land march, from St. Louis to Leavenworth,
Kansas. They will go out to charge of offi
cers of the Quartermaster's Department, in
two detatchment of two hundred and fifty
teams each, with every equipment necessary
to man this extraordinary march fully equal
to Sherman's march from Chattanooga to
Raleigh.
Tbs original will of General George Wash
ington has been delivered to the Clerk of tbe

Col. Munfora, who secured it in the hem. safe
of the Capitol.
