Oar advertising patrons are reminded that adver tisements inserted in the Morning Edition of th. n wit! appear in the Evening wit boat extra «barge. Advertisements should be handed in as e»riy as possible. but will be received aa !ate»e li o'clock at night. We adhere to our advertised rates exeepl lor long advertisements, or those inserted for a long une, on which a reasonable discount will be made. 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 erty. Some person has stolen from tbe capital in Richmond the third, fourth and flltli volumes of tbe celebrated ‘‘McDonald Papers," a se ries of seven manuscript volumes, containing the records and archieves of tbe colony of Virginia from the meeting of its first General Assembly to 1692. Tbe Boston Courier says the mackerel catch hus been large so far this season, and is still glowing larger and the fish better. During the blockade this news would have been co interest to ns. A Boston paper says the Western widows are calliug indignation meetings with refer ence to the advent of Massachusetts virgins. The male persuasion is too scarce for the home market without importations. The latest returns from Kentucky iudicate a pro-slavery majority of 7,000, with 6 ma jority in the Senate and 14 In tbe House. Lift 1 on u Dally Homing ft*aper. 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.

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 fMbticQX. 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 BrsoLtftT,—We learn that tbe store of Mr. C Blazer, on Bey street, was broken Into, on Saturday Right last, sod a Urge amount of goods stolen. This is rather a dating act directly under tbe new of tbe police guard. 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.
