[FBO» OCR SPECIAL NEW TORK CORRESPONDENT. ] New Yoiue, Sept. 14. New and Fast Steamboats are the order of the day on the Hudson. They are ui all sizes and splendor, and for speed and excellence of accommodations will satisfy the most fastidious. We have the magnificent “Bt. John,” four hundred and fifty feet long, the equally splendid “Dean Richmond,” of nearly the same length, on the night line to Albany, while two more boats of equal proportions, are on the stocks. The day lire run the “Daniel Drew” and “Chancy Viobard,” smaller but remarkably handsome boats, and there are on the river, perhaps, nearly one hundred steamers of great power and speed, which are almost equal to these immense boats in beauty of model and splendor of finish. Some of the night boats have really luxurious accommo dstions ;and are extensively patronized by a certain class who travel just for the fun of the thing. All go full of passengers and are making money very rapidly. Many years ago an intense opposition was made to the building of the Hudson River Railroad by the steainboatmen, who feared it would kill their trade. But instead thereof their business has increased probably two thous and per cent., and the cars go crowded at that. Speaking of fast boats, however, a train on which 1 was a passenger, recently caught up to the Chancey Vibbard near Peekskill, forty miles away from the city, and it was generally supposed we should beat her badly to New York. Judge of the astonishment of the green ones, when on reaching 80th street, we found the “Vibbard” tranquilly at the wharf, discharging her load of liviug humanity. She had actually beat en a fast train. Her only advantage was that she made no stops, while the train made a good many. Several other boast make as fast time ssthe “Vibbard,” and one, the famous “Mary Powell," can it is thought, beat her two or three miles an hour. This is a fast age. The China Mails. The Postmaster General has accepted the tender made by the Pacific Mail Company for the mail steamship service between San Francisco and - Hong KoDg, touching at Honolulu and Kanagawa. The compensa tion ior twelve round trips annually is $500,- 000, for teu years from the Ist of January, 1867. The average rate of speed of the steamers is not to be less than 200 nautical miles per day. I believe the company have already constructed and in process of con struction vessels enough ior the service; for in addition to the splendid steamers already on the Pacific, there are here the “Atlantic,” “Baltic,” “Montana” and “Henry Chaun cey,”. all nearly ready for service, and the Arizona and Eldorado in process of building. All of them are large enough and have power sufficient for the proposed service, The new ships will of course be of the right stamp, and the“Atlanlic” isjnow being refitted for the new business she is to be put to, while the “Baltic” will soon follow suit. These relics of the old Collins’ ine are still some of the finest steamers afloat, and will give a good account of themselves on the Pacific. The company baa, in consequence of the promises of the Atlantic Company to provide accom modations equal to those of the New York on all their ships, relinquished the intention of running steamers between New York and Aspinwall. Hu “Kean*” are once more before New York audiences at the Broadway Theatre. The house ia not so welt filled a& formerly, the high prices not being stimulating to the renewal of the ex periment of seeing them in great numbers by the public. Horace Greeley got off a gbod thing the other diy on Mrs Kean. Someone asked him if he had seen Ellen Tree. HU reply was that he thought she had been dead for sis years. Being confronted by the statement that she was still living, had been to Australia and was now playing at the Broadway, he said, ‘‘Theoretically she is dead, for Australia is a future state.” Uttrary, The last production from the pen of news paper correspondents Is issued this week.— It Is entitled, “Camp-Fire and Cotton-Field,” and was written by Thos. W. Knox, who was for a long time chief of the staff corres- of the Herald, of this city, in the West and Southwest. This work will attract great attention, as Mr. Knox brings bjs large fund of old Boston common sense and his own experience to bear upon the Ireedmen and their value now and prospectively under their new status. The description of the Gettysburg battlefield,the day after the great tflctory, is one of the most beautiful and stir ring pen pictures of an awful scene I ever read, fie paya the highest tributtMH) the privates'ofour armies, whose courage, de votion and self-sacrifice he witnessed In the camp and on the Jwntlefield, and relates in a most engaging style various escapades from guerrillas, the running of batterie* ia decidedly the best book of the many yet Issued, written ia a free, easy and flowing style, and once commenced the reader will not be satisfied until fully read and mentally digested. It is flaelv illustrated, and is sold only to subscribers. The publishers, Messrs. Blelock & Cos., 19 Beekman street, N. York, have done themselves great credit for the excellent print In which they have brought out this truly meritorious work. BotnfaasUt* Army turned out lest week la this city, much to the delight of our bob tailed urchins. There is a State lew which divides tbd State info •0 many military districts, a d each district is supposed to have a regiment or brigade of militia, who are to turn out once a year for inspection. These “inspections” in many places are something like the old ‘May in spection ” the Bostonians used to go through with when an old Queen's arm answered for the arming of some thirty or forty militia patriots, a salt fish served as a knapsack, and a brick loaf of old bread, with a piece of twine through it, for a cartridge box. This inspection came off here last week, and full blooded and foil uniformed brigadiers, colo nels, and line officers turned out to review their Bombastian army. One regiment turn ed out four men, and it was the largest regi-- men tin the “service” that day! Whether they performed any ground movements or not, no one knows, but the last seen of them was a zig-zag attempt at echelon on a neigh boring gin-mill, where it is supposed the Brigadier treated his companions-in-arms, sang battle-songs, and all retired in a demor alized condition to dream of the “tented field" (on. Broadway,) where such heroes make history. Oar Epicure* hereabouts feel milch exercised at the pauci ty of good mackerel iu this city, especially after reading in Boston papers of the extra ordinary size and quantity which appear in the markets of the “hub.” To be sure we have here a fish called “Spanish mackerel,” which is much better than the undersized blotting paper thickness of the “tinkers” al lowed to come here by the Eastern fisher men ; and we also have a plentiful supply of most excellent blue fish, black and striped bass—but then, you know, they are not mackerel no more than fleas are lobsters, and the cry goes up from hungry mackere 1- loving gastronomers, “send on some old fashioned bloaters.” A Drum Feagt took places in this vicinity last week. It was nothing more than a pic-nic of the drummers of the various city regiments and bands, with their friends and relatives. It was an elegant opportunity for those persons who often sport of the “ soul-stirring drum,” to have had their souls stirred up to their eminent satisfaction, as the reveille was beat, roast-beef was announced, tattoo was beaten, and the “long roll” rolled out by one hun dred and seventeen drums and an hundred files. A friend says it was splendid —but has ever since worn cotton in bis auricular or gans. One of those Sickening Outrages which makes the blood curdle in the veins, and raises the hair on one’s head, occurred the other day in Queen s, ooudty, on Long Island. A negro named Horace Aleck broke jail where he was confined on a charge of burglary, and the first place he visited after gaining bis liberty, was the very house he hgd burglariously entered. Finding the wife of the occupant alone in the garden, the men folks being in a distant field at work, he seized her by the throat, threw her down, and, after filling her mouth with dirt to stifle her cries, he outraged her person. He then rushed into the house and seized upon what ever of value he could find, taking a suit of new clothes belonging to the woman's hus band. The woman, in the meantime, has tened to alarm her husband and the other men, but when they arrived the black scoun drel had fled, and is still at large. Spirits versus Petroleum. The vagaries of the spirit rapping fraterni ty have not yet ended, and occasionally a big thing in that line is heard of. Ia Chicago,not long since, some believers were informed where they could “strike oil.” They trusted and they bored. Bored deep into the bowels of the earth, and that too in the heart of the city of Chicago. Long and patiently they bored, with faith and hope at the helm, and finally they were rewarded by striking a vain of, not oil, but water. The supply ‘is immense and is stated at enough to supply the entire city, and yet the fellows who bought the land on the advice of their spiritual friends, are disgusted, because they did not “strike oil,” disgusted too, though the value of their property has been increased SIOO,OOO. There are some grum blers In the word who will not be pleased, and these men are of them. Adycntures of a Bogus gIOO Bill. Only a few days ago a well known Mer chant of this city lost a watch,—a valuable article, —under peculiar circumstances. He advertised tor its recovery, promising one hundred dollars reward and “no questions asked.” Afterwards he called on the police, who advised him to pay the re ward and loaned him a bogus SIOO bill tor the purpose, which they would subsequently trace. The .merchant instead of waiting an answer went straight to a house of ill fame to have some sport out of his bogus bill.— The establishment was kept by four sisters, answering to the not uncommon name of Smith, said to be the daughters of a clergy man In the interior, and all young and pretty. Here his bill was shelled out, and subse quently attempted to be passed by one of the inmates of the house for oysters and other luxuries affected by the sex. On the case coming before the courts, the merchant got bis bill back, and ail parlies were discharged from custody, he as well as the rest, for he had also been arrested. The sistera created a sensation in court from their agreeable manners, and after their departure quite a lot of elegamly engraved cards were found scattered about the room. Newest Matrimonial Agency. I can class under no other heading a mat ter wjrich I have observed at one of our lead ing hotels. Guests of the house can see at the table daily an old gent with one or two young ladies under his charge. He has bad within the last month fifteen or twenty dif ferent ones, and seems to be playing the part of ajofly old undo With a score or more of unmarried nieces at bis disposal. They are nearly all pretty, in fact the old gent seems very ta|ty in the selection of his wares.— Occasionally a young gentleman may be seen dining witfi tbe party, and then,after the edibles have been disposed of, the ladies have left the table, and the wines are on, you can, if near by, bear the old gent mafe use of such words as “very nice young lady,” and many others to the nune effect. Tbe affair seems, as I have said, nothing more nor lees than a '‘matrimonial agency.” If so, it is SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1865. carried on in a very nice manner, and with out the expense of an office. The plan is. | commended to people who have marriage able daughters whom they are anxious to get : off their hands. “Six Center Tyrannls.’’ Such is the heading which the Boston ad vertiser applies to an announcement that the j city railroad cars have raised their fare from five to six cents. The sam« language might have been applied here a year or ao since if any of our papers had beeu able to make so good a joke. By the way, it is about time the city railroads here leturned to their old prices, which they never had any authority to increase. RESTORATION. New Circular From Gen. Howard’s Bu reau—Premature Publication of a Former One—Rule* Regarding Aban doned and Confiscated band*. Circnlar No. 15 of Sept. 4, having been by accident prematurely promulgated by the Freedmsn’a Bureau, is hereby recalled, and the following order relative to abandoned lands substituted: War Department, Bcreac of Refugees,) Fbekdmen and Abandoned lands, » Washington, Sept. 12, 1865. ) Circular No. 15.— First : Circular No. 13, of July 28, 1865, from this bureau, and all portions of circulars from this Bureau, con flicting with the provisions of this circular, are hereby rescinded.

O. P. Howard, Major-General, Commissioner. Aproved. .Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. A Pardon for a Pistol, A few days ago, says a Washington cor respondent, a very interesting scene took flace at the usual crowded reception of the resident. Applicants were approaching Mr. Johnson, each with his case ready; alter briefly stating which, and a record being made of it by the private secretary, way was made for others. In the line was Mr. Banks, an enterprising young merchant of New York, and his friend Mr. Kervan, of Peters burg, a leading miller, who applied for par don, coming as he did within the twenty thousand dollar or thirteenth clause of the Amnesty Proclamation. As soon as the President saw Mr. Banks he recognized him, asked him his business, and hearing that it was to procure a ’ pardon for Mr. Kervan, he took a note of it, and told him,smilingly, he would hear from him in the morning. The reason why the President recognized the young New Yorker is best explained by the following short-narrative: In April of 1861, after the Senate of the United States had adjourned, Mr Banks was going from Washington to the South, on the railroad run - ning by Gordonsville and Petersburg. At his side was a very pleasant person, who con versed freely on the different topics of the houi, and finally asked him to change a $2 50 gold piece, which he did. When the cars stopped at Gordonsville, there was a great and excited crowd assembled. They at once demanded, and sent some of their members Into the train to see, “whether Andy John son was on board ?” “ Let’s bear from him!” “ Drag him out!" At this moment, the gentleman at the side of Mr. Banks rose, and was walking ta the platform to show himself, when the engineer started the train and dashed off at bis best speed. His companion was Andrew John son ! As he took his seat, Mr. Banks asked him where be was going. He said: ‘To my home at Grenyille, Tennessee.” “I am glad we got off from those gentlemen, Governor,” said Banks. “I am sorry," said Johnson, “I wanted to tell them wbat I thought of se cession,” Mr. Banks then asked tbe Gov ernor if he was armed. The reply was in the negative, when the New Yorker banded one of his flue revolvers to the Tennessee Senator, and they soon afterward parted to meet a few days ago in the Presidential man sion. Banks has his gold piece. to this day. The nest moislng he was sent for, and as the Presidint met Him he said: “I have often thought of you, Mr. Banks. You gave me a pistol that might have saved, my lite.— I now rive your friend, Kervan, a pardon to start him in business.” . • It is said that Gen. Joseph E. Johnston has accepted the Presidency of the Danville (Y#o Railroad- i DRUGS. 'Wholesale Druggists, Aivrn BEALSES XXV Perftimery, Patent Medicines, &c., &c.
