Jn every style, neatly and promptly done, from New York. i r t out our Regular Correspondent.] Nkw York, Saturday, Sept. 30, 18G5. The Sercaud Ytllow Leaf to make its appearance hereabouts, reminding onr people that coal is exceeding ly yph, and that those who laid in their winter supply' or “ black diamonds” last August i. up treasures" in their cellars. Our trees cast lighter shadows—our ladies have attended and admired the fall opening of milinery—peaches are about gone, grapes have a silvery covering denoting that Jack Frost has developed himself— ffies are not quite so plenty and less pertinacious in their attentions— musquitoes are sharper but less numerous than ever—there are lighter draft of lager and the demand for juleps is decreas ing—Dutchmen go gunning on Long Island early o’ mornings for HigbhoWcrs—the pale laces of Fifth Avenue have returned from Saratoga and opened their blinds—white pants and low-necked dresses are giving way to mauve-colored tiowsers and higli uecked silks—the square-built bonnets create quite a sensation on the promenades, the Park, and in pater-familias’ pocket—and other indications prevail that winter is coin in'', although we all yet expect a first-class equinoctial to initiate us into our first chill. God help the poor! Found nt Last. •An old farmer from Westchester county lias arrived iu town, who is the owuer of the deepest well in that locality, bringing a few stunted specimens ot vegetation, which ho managed to sell to our Washington mnfket dealers. Notwithstanding his poor crop he felt qji'e elated, and Invited Horace Greeley, Weed, Preston Kiug, and sundry others to visit his “ranch,” as he had something there undoubtedly which had been searched for a great many years, and he thought it would lie of great service to politicians. On being questioned closely, be stated that his well was perfectly dry, (like the City Hall loafers), nud that that inestimable gem—Truth—must bs at its bottom, as it never before was empty. Certain enquirers left him suddenly. Cleaned Out. Our New York sporting men who went to bet on the recent boat race, were the most sorry set of “cleaned out” fancy men ever seen hereabouts. They lost all their money, then l»st their temper, and on the route back well might the Captain of the steamboat have exclaimed, as did a certain follow when wrecked on the shores of Prosper.*'# Island, “ Hell is empty, and all the dcyils are In re Sen Captain. are having rather a hard time of it here. Nearly every vessel arriving brings a report of mutiny or allure of passengers ; the former caused by hard usage on the part ot the ship's officers, and the latter tell most pitiful tab sot rough treatment, bad food, starva tion, etc. One sea captain has been held for trial, after a full examination by the United Status Commissioner, for cheating, heating and starving some five hundred passengers If the latter prove all they alledge, the case for the captain locks black indeed. Our Dust Ball Players are delighted with the reception given them and tlie courtesies extended l>y their down east trieuds. The Atlantic Club think that their Eastern brethren have the advantage in muscle-lraiumg, inasmuch as they can build up on tried cianu—whereas here they have to depend upon the less consistent but more amorous oyster plßy on the word “bi valve." A Negro In die Jury Box. Brooklyn enjoys the distinction, or what ever else it may be called, ot being the first city to put a nigto into the jury box. This occurred about a week ago in the City Court. It was a curious sight, and excited much comment. But the colored citizen was a property holder, and as such ei joyed the right to vote, and of course to be u juryman. The world moves! Another Soldier’ll Fair. Philadelphia is to have another great fair for the benefit of the brave men who have been brought home from the battlehjield maimed, sick, helpless, hundreds of wlAtm, shameful as it may be to record, are com pelled to resort to begging to obtain a live lihood. Good for Philadelphia. Toe idea should become general, for as much good can come out of it as from the great Sanitary lairs of not long since. Tile Deutli of (‘apt. Marshall, tlie originator of the celebrated Liverpool Blackball line of packets, has created a uni ver.-al feeling of regret. All the Hags of the shipping were at half-mast on the day of the funeral, and appropriate notice of the sad event was taken by the prominent-clubs and societies. It is related that Capt. Marshall had been a consistent and peisistent anti slavery man since 18-’G, when he received his first impressions of the institution Irom seeing slaves flagellated and branded in the Isle Os France. City Railroad Conductor*. An investigation by three _of the leading city railroads of Philadelphia, fixed upon one hundred and thirty of their employees the guilt of appropriating the Company's money. One hundred thpusaad dollars are said to have been pocketed by these people within a year or so. The drivers and stable boyß. it is also said, extorted a good deal of mi ney from tbe conductors, probably lor the sake of keeping their tongues still. Every body believes the same thing is done here on a still greater stale. Greeley on North Carolina. It is well known that though a married man, Mr. Greeley is not os favorable as many others to the connubial system. Besides he is considerable of a joker in his way, and much given to badgering youthful Benedicks. Occasionally he gets off a good thing, though sometimes, as in tbe present case at bis own expense, or rather at the expeuse of the esti mable lady who is his wife. A young friend of Greeley's who bad gome thought of going to North Carolina to live, asked the philoso pher one day for advice. “Young man,” said Greely, "I married my wifi there, and should not advise you to go." it is of course unnecessary to state that Horace meant no reflection upon bis better half. Ghost*. Over in Jersey City there hs« bsen o sen sation kicked up by- an alleged haunted church, which, after puzzling the mysteri ously inclined people oi that burgh lor a while, witb-its weird-like noises and ghostly moans was at last proven to be haunted by nothing more alarming than the watch Jog of a resident of the neighborhood. Almost a similar ease has occurred in I4lh street in this city. This was not a church but a pri vate house, ot neat and respectable appear ance which was accused ot containing the ghost, if not the skeleton, of a murdered mau, ibe victim of a tragedy far excelling in horror rlie famous Burdell murder. On in vestigation, it proved there w:fs no ghost, bad been no murder, and that the marks of “blood,” found on the doors'eps, consisted principally of lager beer, doubtless au ema nation fiom the stomach of some drunken fellow, who, in the unsteady condition of his nether limbs, had sought me shelter of the front stoop ot the house in question.— "Ghosts” are at a discount in this vicinity.'’ The Laboring Classes. The movement among the laboring classes for the abridgement of the hour of labor to a uniform standard of eight hours per day, and for the promotions of this Qtate held a Convention at Albany a few nays ago, whieh revealed an organization large in numbers and devoted to the purposes lor which it was formed. Similar organiza ions exist in other States, and it will be strange if they dauot ultimately succeed. The best feature of the matter is'the careful chewing of all political aetion. and a strict, confinement to their busi ness. Hitherto but liitle alter, tioo.has been paid to movements ofihis kind by employers, lor the local «ssociati#n9 worked quietly and were hardly known outside of their own im mediate circle. Their work, however, has been thorough so far as it went, and the formation ot regular State organizations will give them, power if not. to compel an acquies cence in their demands, at least to command a proper attention on the part of capitalists to the requirements of the laboring classes, lor capital and labor should go hand iu hand. The “Safe Deposit Company.” One of the most useful institutions of late years is the “Safe Deposit Company,” a newly started affair, but one which is already doing a large business. The *“ Safe Deposit Company” has a charter from the Legisla ture under which it guarantees the satiny ot article* entrusted to its keeping to which its business is limited, aud for which its charges are required to be low. The concern is loca ted in the fire proof building of the American Bank Note Company on Broadway. A series of smalt safes in one of the vaults is rented to bankers and others, who have keys aud have entrance thereto in the presence of at tendants. Another safe for the storing of government bonds can be entered only' by the President and Secretary of tlit* Company. Iu another safe, sealed packages can be de posited, and iu still another silver plate, coin and jewelry are stored. The Company give a receipt which i3 a curiosity in its way (for it describes the person making the deposit minutely even to a small scar,) for the pro petty', and guarantees its retnru or the pay ment of its full value. The capital of the Company is SOOO,OOO, and its stockholders are liable to twice that amount. It i9 a very excellent institution and w II doubtless be imitated hi all tedious of the country. The Pacific Railroad. Just now we are inundated with English men aud other foreigners interested in the Atlnniie & Great Western Railroad. A large crowd came over in the Scotia, a week or more ago, und are now at the west viewing their property, inspecting the oil district nud enjoying themselves generally. At the head of tiie party are James McHenry and Sir Mo ton Peto. The former, through the in strument ition of an able engineer, Mr. M. Kinnuiid, constructed in war times the rail toad named abova, in a shorter space of time than such a thing had ever before oc curred in this country. Sir Morton Is under stood to have iu his employ, in various parts of the world, uearly' or quite one huudred thousand men, at work on the many railroads in whose construction lie is interested. Mr. McHenry is au American, who was lor many years a prominent Liveipool merchant, and who, during the financial panic of 1857, went in the general wreck, but contrived to pav all his debts. Oi e < f these, amounting to $20,000, was actually paid twice through j some trick ot the law. He then went to j London with no money but a sterling char acter. Entering heartily into Ibe Atlantic & Gnat Western enterprise, his reputation enabled him to raise in two or three years twenty-five millions of dollars, and to build seven hundred aud fifty miles of railroad, connecting the Erie and the Ohio and Mis sissippi roads. These gentlemen, with the Marquis of Salamanca and others, are re ported to now own a controlling interest in the Erie load, the uuion of which with the road they have constructed is but a matter of u little time. The rare energy and ajility they have displayed encourage the hope that they will take hold of the Pacific Railroad. Its construction within a reasonable period could then be counted upon as a certainty. I have reason to believe they think seriously of the project, and shall fee I gratified to be able to chronicle that they have taken hold of it iu earnest. Southern Migration. An institution called the Southern Land Company lias started an agency here, which is already doing a Urge business in securing emigrants to the Southern States uud selling to tnose who are in a position to buy, eligi ble lands in various parts of the South. Its agents estimate the emigration of Northern ers to the South this season at one hundred thousand. Our Insurance Companies Are greatly exercised over their icceut loss es—and well they may be Two fires have occurred this week wuicli have alone called upon them lor between two and three mil linns of dollars,saying nothing of the minor losses of tens of thousands by fires of lesser note, They are discussing the risk which actually exists in insuring goods in ware houses They complain of the manner in which our warehouses are constructed ; they complain of the watchmen employed to guard them, and last, though not least, they complain of our new paid fire department. This last complaint attracts much attention from the fact that the Insurance Companies were one of the main instruments by which tlie system of our fire department was changed. It is a fact, nevertheless. New York i>as mfj'crcdsevtrely from fires since the system was changed, and,yet, it may liut be the result oi' the change at all. The firemen have been prompt ly on the ground and worked assidu ously when tucre. But there are those who claim that the duties of a fireman have to be learned as much us any particular branch of business, and that a slight mistake will re sult most disatsiously. There is reason to believe there is much truth in this, and there may have been a great mistake made in changing the system and putting tbe depart ment in new bands. The change was called fiir on economical, as well as other grounds. Yet the estimates tot expenses greatly ex ceeded those of former years. And if Ares are to lake place which consume property at the rate of halt a million and four millions each, and that through the change, it is not lobe wondered at it the Insurance Com panies became greatly exercised. IncorapabtUlity of Temperament, between man and wife, is a sore perplexity. The modern cure for it, as you know is (as the fault is always on.the wife’s side) to send the wile to a lunatic asylum. Such a crsc lias recently occurred iu our sister City, Brooklyn. For thirty years one of our mer chants has suffered terribly (as be says) from the vagarie* of a termagant nit'c, »nd a few says since, under cover of takiug a pleasure jaunt be landed her into the Utica asylum. Those who are intimate with the family were greatly surprised at the act, os in all their in tercourse with tbe lady they bad never sus- SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER it, 1865. pccted that she was inaaue iu the least, an l say if she was the must have exhibited all her insanity to her husband. There is a veil hanging over the case as yet. If she is not now insane, pel haps hert oiiliacment will make her so, which may answer the pur poses aimed at. Our Amusement* Ve patronized in a moft astonishing man ner by the public, who seem to be never w eary of haying their mental palates tickled by good music and good acting. Tlte opera opened on .Monday night lasi with Faust. Miss Kellogg was the Marguerite, the music ot which she rendered with exquisite tenderness and expression. The new tenor, Irfe, was ilu Faust, and though a lair artist, is not to be compared with Mazz deni or Brignoli. Autoriucci, the basso, took the pail of Mephistopblvs with marked suc cess, aud Bellini, tlte handsome baritone, and an old favorite, was as much applauded as ever. Maictzek segms to he in favor with the public. .His conflict with the Herald has given him anew hold on their affections. By the way, the Herald, the day alter the opening of the season, iu the course ot au article on the theatrical season, went out ot its way to call Maretzek a “blackguard and liar.” This is all the re p v that journal has yet made to the com munications from Mtrelzek in some of the other papers. Madam Celeste, {he celebiated French ac tress, recently made her appearance at the Broadway in the “ Woman in Red," a play somewhat resembliuir “Gamea.” She was well received, the traditions of twelve years since being in her favor, but her broken Eng lish was a bar to such a success ns she has achieved before audiences <>t her ow n country men in her own language. The dumb parts site used to play, such as the French Spy, etc., are much better suited to Iter before au American audience. The opening of VVttl lacks was the signal for a rush to ttiat capa cious bouse. The company is better than ever, its greatest addition that genuiuu actor Mr E L. Davenport, Os course this theatre has been crowded nightly and the plays rendered have been put on the stage in the usual carelul and meritorious manuer. The other theatres are also doing well, ill fact amusements were never better patronized than at present, all look forward to long sea | sons and plentifully filled exchequers. The Ravels have come once more among us, aud are drawing large and appreciative audiences. Anew concert singer has also appeared in Madame Parepa, a splendid singer, weighing only 280 avordupois. She is a daughter of the celebrated Mr. and Mrs. Scguiu, who married an Italian nubleman who is probably without ostensible means oi sup port. The Madame is very much admired as in a vocalist. Speaking of singers it is a uotable fact, that the most popular opera singers in Loudon and Paris are those who have deservedly won, or worn out a reputa tion herp. The most prominent is onr own Patti, while Lagrange, Enssier Brignoli and otlier9 are hardly less esteemed. Little Miss Laura Harris will also soon have a European reputation, second to none except perhaps Patti. Taking a together America s ems to be at the top of the heap in producing first class singers. We have musicians in some ot our church choirs far superior to the best Italy can boast, and it will rot be many years ere opera and concert managers will be able to en tirely give up Europe as a place tor the selec tion oi' their vocalists. So you see we are having plenty of enjoyment. Decay of Hi: on Head. A correspondent of the New York Herald wilting front Hilton Head, S. C., recently, gives a striking view of the rapid decline of Hilton Head in commercial aud naval importance. After two months’ absence from here a re turn lor a brief visit makes striking to me some changes which even that short time has effected in the military headquarters of the whole coast south of Wilmington. Tlic harbor of Port Royal sxliibits the most noticeable change. Nearly all the fleet have left—the old South Atlantic squadron— and - the hay contains only two or three gunboats, among them the old three-decker New Hampshire, four or five transports, a few merchant schooners, one brig and per haps a craft or two besides. A yea*- ago the bristling masts ot Port Royal were visible far out at sea, and the harbor was alive with craft of every kind plying to and from, while at night the lights of vessels of every description illuminated the whole anchor ing ground. This change, however, is not so much an indication of the falling off of commerce as the result ot the rapid reduc tion of military and naval forces. Hilton Head is duller than I have seen it before since the capture ; but is still not tbe dullest place I wot of, either North or Sbnth It is still headquarters for many merchants in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, who had formed connections here before the opening of more direct commercial communications with their localities,and who give much wholesale and jobbing patronage to their old sellers. The local retail trade is j confined largely to freedmen from Mitchel ville and the surrounding plantations and islands ; but it is partly kept up by several hundred government employees and by gov ernment trausports. Some time since an order was issued for bidding the erection of more buildings inside ofthe fortifications, in view of tbe projection of extensive government works. Hilton Head will soon lose its commercial impor tance, unless one of several railroad schemes now under consideration, is carried out. There are two principal projects—one for a road from St. Helena, ou ibe opposite side of the baibor, to connect with the Savannah and Charleston road, whicli would make Hil ton Head a soit of suburb ol the new city ; and the other for a road from this island across Skull creek, and the Savannah and Charleston road, to the Georgia Central road. Botli parlies are laboring for the roads- in which they are respectfully interested very earnestly. ’ Joseph IF Sears, Esq., of the New South—one of the oldest- and most prominent citizens—is one of the principal workers for the Hilton Head line, and is con fident of success. It is estimated that SIOO,- 000 will be all the capital required and claim ed ; that investments will soon prove of al most unprecedented profit. Whether either road is built remains yet to be seen. Excobt Pctv ox Cotton.—Thos. A- Dud ley, Consul at Liverpool, is at Washington— this being his first visit to the Capital since the war of the rebellion commenced. Mr. j Dudley had au interview with Secretary i McCulloch. He represents that the foreign importations this season will be enormous, and urges tUe Secretary of the Treasury to recommend toCungre-s an export duty on cotton —claiming that the constitutional pro hibition can be overcome by levying an in ternal revenue duty ot three cents per pound, with a drawback for home consumption, which will not injure the home manufacture but would apply only to that going abroad.
