The report is considered doubtful. A Cm - or tub Dead.—ln Greenwood Cemetery there have been up to this dale 144,400 interments, averagiug for the last few years about 7,000 per annum. Except Calvary Cemetery, used chiefly by tlie Ruinisli denomination, there is no other burial place near this city which is so numer ously peopled by the dead. Woodlawn Cemetery, in Westchester, Cypress Hills, and the Cemetery of the Evergreens, are all well known j but Greenwood, being the oldest, is far the most populous Large sums, amounting to at least $2,(100,000, have been expended by the corporation, but these figures would appear insignificant contrasted with the disbursements oi private owners in commemorating the fives of those who have gone, or preparing for those who soon must lollow. The hand of affection has bestowed lavishly in rearing monuments, though some times in construct fog a vault un equal amount ot expenditure, with no imposing display. Probably there are a dozen instances where individuals have disbursed betweeu $20,000 and $30,000 in the improvement of private property. Opulent citizens seem to vie with each other in honoring the dead. fS. Y. Journal of Commerce. A “KVICKBOCKF.R” TESTIMONIAL. Tbe two Empire States, Georgia and New York. Under this heading the Wall Street Under writer gives an account of what must have been a very agreeable reunion of Southern and Northern men iu that city, which, re marks the editor, “wa9 not wholly uncon nected with insurance affairs.” We ropy from the Underwriter: “For some years prior to the rebellion, the Knitkhoeker Life Insurance Company, of New York, was very efficiently represented in Savannah by Col. Aaron ’Wilbur, well known as a leadiDg and popular underwriter in Georgia. Immediately on the occupation of Savannah by General Sherman, Col. Wil bur renewed his correspondence with his friends in New Yoik, and came on in person in May. Several oilier gentlemen from Sa vauuah being in New Yoik at the time, it viccarred to Mr. Lyman, the President ot ihe Knickerbocker, to celebrate the re-establish ment of our business and social relations wilh the Empire State of the South by a quiet social festival at Delmouico's renowned iustituiioD, on 6th avenue. The event came off on the evening of Wednesday, 24th ot ■May. All the details were arranged with a quiet good taste and elegance that was highly creditable to Mr. Lymau, a9 a liberal host, and very gratilyiug to all good Knicker bockers present. An excellent dinner was served, and a hearty welcome extended to our Southern fellow citizeus. Several good, loyal and eloquent speeches were made.— “Liberty, fraternity and equality,” North and South, being the order of the evening. Among the principal toasts and speakers were the following: “ The President of the United States"—Hon. Judge Erskine. “The xe-uuiled people ot the United Slates”—Mr. Glassy. “The twoEmpire Sta'es’—Colonel Wilbur. “The Pacific States”—Mr. Camp. 41 The Mercantile Marine"—Mr. Baldwin. “The beneficent institution of Life Insur ance”—Mr. Lyman. “The gallant dead"— Lieutenant Waddell. “The women of the Union”—Mr. Elliott “American Com merce"—Col. Julian Allen. "The Bar of America”—Mr. Frauciola. “The Judiciary of America."—Mr. Glassy. "The Press of America"—Mr. Currie. Col. Wilbur and his Georgia friends ex pressed themselves as highly gratified at their reception in the Empire City, and we feel convinced that “good wifi" will follow she “ pesre” so agreeably celebrated on this interesting occasion.

(From our Special Correspondent.] Lake City, Fla., Sept. 25, 1865. I arrived at Jacksonville on the 22d inst, alter a somewhat tedious voyage on the steamer Fountain, owing to the crippled condition of her machinery, which could not be repaired effectually until her arrival at Jacksonville. I was pleased to observe that Jacksonville, now the commercial metropolis ot the State, has recovered much of the traffic and pros perity it enjoyed before the war, though the me'chauts are compiaiuing of the sudden diminution of trade from the country for the past week, and are apprehensive that it is receding from its maximum heightli for the present season, as, perhaps, two-thirds of the cotton iu the hands of the farmers of the State at the close of the hostilities have passed into the channels of commerce for exportation. The number of bales on hand the Ist of April last was estimated at twenty thousand, aud twelve thousand, it is confidently assert ed have beou sold, leaving still in the hands of the farmers eight thousand bales for mar ket. Much the larger portion of that which is yet in the hands of the producers, will not be sold until February and March next, fur the reason that it is believed that the scale of prices will be greatly advanced by that pe riod. I have been informed also, that at least two-thirds of the eight thousand bales are held by the planters of Middle Florida ( who have expressed their determination to ship it to Savannah as soon as the repairs on the Gulf Road are completed, and the con nection is established between that road aud the one spauning the peninsula from Jack sonville to St. Marks, an event which, lam pleased to state, will transpire before the ist of December next. The inhabitants of the country of the Su wannee, east of the Suwannee river, and the counties of Hamilton. Madison, Jeffer son, Leon, Wakulla and Gadsden, West of the Suwannee, and the county of Jackson West of the Apalachicola river, are evincing much anxiety and impatience lor immediate communication with SavaDnah, regarding, as they do, that city as the best outlet for their market productions. The prospective and certain accession to your city of the large and rapidly increasing trade from the most productive portions of this State will be fully as great, as you have had occasion to loresnadow at divers times in the columns of the Herald; and the cer tain realization of this truly valuable com mercial interest should stimulate the direc tories of the roads interested to a speedy consummation of the desired connection with Savannah. As far as I have been able to learn, the present crop of corn though slightly injured by the drouth iu some neighborhoods,’ will be more than sufficient to supply home con sumption, and the crops of potatoes, peas, &c., exceed in luxuriance, that of any former year within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. Florida has suffered less from the baneful effects of the iate war than any of her se ceding sisters, and it follows, of course, that her citizens are, comparatively, in easy aud prosperous circumstances ; and in giv ing birth to the new political status which will be the result of the quickening coa ceptive influences of the mighty struggle through which the South has passed, Florida will experience but little travail, and less damage, aud prospectively, than could be reasonably anticipated by the most hope ful advocates ot emancipation. Many intelligent and loyal citizens, how ever, expresses the fear that there is a natural anlagouism between the whites and the blacks which threatens dire conse quences to the agricultural interests of the State. The former standing no longer in relation of protector and guardian, who had a deep interest in the welfare aud content ment of the freedtnen, is now being regarded by the latter with jealousy aud suspicion, aud confidence and security are rapidly dis appearing under the pernicious influence of the so-called philanthropic schemes of Northern fanatics, who are endeavoring to make the colored man the equal of the white man by admitting him to the full rights of American citizenship. I am in clined to think that such gloomy apprehen sions are the result, more of a inorbid con dition ot purturbed minds,than dispassionate and just reasoning. There is much founda tion for the belief that the more intelligent and considerate of the freedtnen are begin ning to view their novel condition from anew standpoint, where the fights of reason and prudence are fast beginning to dawn upon their prejudiced and benighted minds, and I hazard the prediction that be fore the first of January there will be a gen eral desire manifested by them to make mu tually satisfactory engagements with tbo planters for the ensuing year. This predic tion is predicated, in part on the rumor now prevalent throughout the State, that it is the general purpose of the prominent men of the State to induce, by special means, foreign' immigration to the extent, sufficient to develope aud maintain the agricultural and manufacturing interests of Florida, irre spective of ’be assistance of negro labor at all. The intelligent freedmen have been startled by this proposition to substitute white for black laborers in the cotton fields of the South, and denounce it vehemently as pregnant with evil consequences to them selves ; and it is not unreasonable to suppose that they will endeavor to defeat its consum mation by a sudden and radical change in their temper aud dispositions towards the whites. As far as I have been able to discover, cit izens of Florida are emphatically for peace. The end of the struggle is everywhere ac knowledged as a fixed fact. The people are rapidly settling down to peaceful pursuits. They are heartily sick of the strife, and how to restore the ancient order of things engages every mind. All historians concur lu stating that affer great wars, especially those of an internecine character, when the bad passions of human nature become more than usually excited and aroused, crime invariably exhibits an increase, and atrocious acts are both more numerous and more flagrant in character. War stirs up all the worst feelings of the human heart, encourages license and destroys the moral sensibility. The truth of this remark is sadly illustrated in Florida, as in all other portions of the country, North and South. The corrupting spirit of speculation aud an unscrupulous desire to make niooey are rife everywhere. From all sides I hear ot petty crimes, of increasing lawlessness, and of contempt for the restraints of law. Society must, and of course will right itself in this matter, but the steps to be taken by onr mil itary and civil guardians cannot be too soon adopted An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure. The obvious duty of the custodians of the public safety is to exercise SAVANNAH. GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1865. renewed vigilance, to throw additional guards | around the property and persons of the citi zens. aud by an example of high public nto i rality and fidelity to duty to re-assure the good and deter the efforts of the vicious. I have just seen the Tallahassee Floridian of the 26th inst., which contains the speech recently delivered by Gov Marvin, at Ma rianna. The good sense and conservative spirit that have pre-eminently marked his official utterances iu his prescut responsible position, chaiacterize the address referred to, and give additional assurance of his peculiar qualifications to manage the affairs of State in these times of social and political peril. J. S. J Madison, Fla., Sept, 29th, 1865. In my peregrinations through Florida, I found but little calculated to inteiest your readers, in connection with rail roads. And from my Irequent allusion to rail road mat ters you are ready to conclude, doubtless, that, in medical parlance, I have “rail road on the brain." Well, if lam thus afflicted, I aui consoled by the thought that it is a mental idiosyncracy lhat lias for its chief characteristic, the pleasurable contemplation of all things indicative of peace, and the res toration of order and prosperity throughout this great country. Mighty is the spirit of war, raising as it does, a lust of glory even iu the heart of the Christian, stirring him to slaughter, and making bloodshed beautiful, sending him forth a terrible reaper in tho field of carnage, and smearing him with hu man gore as earth's best painting. And yet, the drum beat by a destroying angel, sounds not so musical to me as the panting and snort ing ot the railway engine. The piston is a more noble weapon than the sword —the whirl aud rush aud thunder of the train grander, more truly sublime, more sugges tive of all that cnoblcs man in his present thoughts aud deepest sympathies toward his fellow, than the tramp and measured step of glistening thousands, shaking the earth the}’ too soon are about to defile with fire aud sword. The engineer is, in my eyes, some thing more humanizing than the soldier, borne on by the sublime energy of the tilings of his creation, harnessing, so to speak, the very elements to his use, and checking and controlling them as might some magician of a fairy tale ; he sweeps irom place to place, distributing iu his way all the gentler influ ences of civilization, and knitting more close ly together the great family of man, by teaching them the strength, the value, aud, w.iat is more tbau all, the abounding peace tuluess of a wise union ot the arts aud sci ences, which can only exist in lime of peace. Thus impressed with the importance of rail r aids, I will be pardoned for again alluding to a part of the Florida system, which I have heretofore overlooked. Perhaps, nopublicimprovementin the South commanded a larger share of public attention before the war, than the road lacing the Pen insula from Fernandina, on the Atlantic, to Cedar Keys,on the Gulf. Originally designed by its projectors as a fink in the great chain of communication between the two leading commercial cities ot the American contin ent, New York and New Orleans, its com- i pletion just at the breaking out of the late war wa9 an event which was regarded wilh satisfaction by commercial and public spirit- ’ ed men everywhere. But like many other roads lhat fell into the hands of Federal Commanders, it has been damaged to an ex- . tent that will require considerable time and ' much means to pul it again in running order; and I regret to learn from Gen. Finnegan, one ot the principle stockholders aud direc tors, that no steps have yet been taken to ef fect the necessary repairs. The continued imprisonment of Mr. Yulee, who is now confined at Fort Pulaski, is most unfortunate for this road. The President of the Company and its actiou and ruling fin ancial spirit, his personal attentions are re garded by all as indispensable for its imme diate restoration to service. And hence the general desire throughout the State that he be pardoned by President Johnson, and re invested with ail his civil and political rights. It is understood that Governor Marvin is about actively interposing in his behalf at Washington ; and if so, his re-appearauce at the post of duty may transpire at any inoinei t The trains are running on this road from Baldwin, where it crosses the Jacksonville road, to Cedar Keys, twice or thrice a week. On my journey from Savannah to Florida, I was introduced to four gentlemeu from Northern Ohio, who visits this State as a delegation from a large community of Ger man farmers, to examine and repot t upon the character of the climate and soil, the price of lands, and the temper and disposi tion of tlie inhabitants towards foreign emi grants ; and should the deputation be favor ably impressed iu their explorations, a large colony of people wifi be immediately trans ported from Northern Ohio and Germany to the land of flowers. The salubrity of the climate and the high value of Sea Island cottou so abundantly produced in the larger portion ot the State, a knowledge of which they derived from Uuited States”discharged soldiers who had been assigned to duty in Florida, has prompted this interesting move lnent; and others of like character are ou foot in the city ot New York, as I have been informed, which will result iu the early set tlement of a considerable portion of Middle Florida by emigrants from different parts of Europe. Tbe politicians are commencing to can vass the claims and availability of prominent men for the offices to be filled under the new Constitution. Governor Marvin, it is gene rally conceded, will be one of the United States Senators, and the Hon. D S. Walker, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the State, will be the successful candidate for Governor, and will, probably, have no op ponent. Both ot the gentlemen named are experienced and able statesmen, and emi nently woithy of the confidence of the people- A melancholy tragedy occurred in Talla hassee on the 3d inst., in the death of Mr. Bassnett, one of the conductors on the Tal lahassee and Lake City Railroad. He was deliberately shot by a Mr. Grover, the keeper of a bar-room and billiard saloon in that town. Rumor says that Mr. G. had spoken disreputably of Sirs. 8., and for which his fife was threatened by the deceased. I have met with two or three prominent citizens of East Florida, who avow them selves warm advocates for the political dis- ! memberment of the State, and the annexa tion of the eastern and southern portions to Georgia. This proposition was mooted quite extensive anterior to the war, but, I think, was not acceptable to the masses, aud I ima gine there has been no material change in popular feeling ou this subject since the re- 1 establishment of peace. However desirable the consummation of this matter might be to the people of Georgia, there are reasons of a political nature w hich forbid its tavor able consideration for a single moment. It affords me pleasure to state that the Savannah Hebald has achieved for itself a good reputation in Florida, and wifi obtain a very large circulation so soon as mail routes and post offices are re-established.— Until then, owing to tbe uucertaiuty of tbe present mode of transmission by private hands, a triend says it would be lolly to sub scribe. Those who have become subscribers already complain that they do not receive half of the numbers due them. I have been requested by many leading men of this Stale to assure the proprietors of the Herald that they have observed its general tone aud pol icy with both interest and pleasure, although having seen but few of its issues, and, when postal facilities are renewed, wifi give more substantial proof of their esteem for it than mere professions.

This beautiful city continues in her un happy position of ostentatious luxury and abject misery. Wc have court pageants to gild Ihe claims of this poor people and cor rupt their eyes by a semblance of prosperity which now here exists. To read the edito rials of the official press, “this country marches with gigantic steps towards its prosperity and aggrandizement.” How far from the realit v vou can judge by the follow ing At a concerted hour the gcusdarmesof the Imperial police arrested and threw into prison thirty Liberals, who were quietly liv ing in their homes. First, a Mr. Zamacona, an ex-Secretary of State—rumor accuses him ot being the correspondent of the N. Orleans Times. Alter him Pedro de Garay, ex-Seo retary of War, Mr. Gusman, Mr. Romery Rubio, Corambias, and twenty-five others. It is nothing but the dread of dissatisfaction which forces a foreign police to mistrust every one who docs not accept the pay of the empire. In every city the arrests and banishments are so numerous that it wifi soon take oue-fialf the nation to guard aud imprison the other half. Must barbarous orders are issued by the French commanders. In the State of Tamaulipas the lufamous Col. Dupiu ordered every man to be hung who should be found dressed in leather, and as the lower class use no other material we can easily believe the tale of the traveler, published in this city, that every mile he traveled in that State he found a man bUDg. Persecutions, bauishments and im prisonments show infallibly the state of the sick man. Ou the 14th of this month the Austrian gatrison of the city of Tehuacan, composed ot 500 men, were attacked and annihilated. I give you the account of the Estafette. It says : “The forces of Col. Figueroa were com posed of 800 men, infantry and cavalry.— They assaulted the town aud carried it by storm after two hours' fighting. We had a terrible time of it, says the correspondent, and only by a miracle was our life saved. Our losses are enormous. The Juaristas (Liberals) captured over SIOO,OOO, besides levying an impost of $12,000 more. lua few da> s I will give you some details For | the moment my head is in a whirl.” In the State of Michoacan the inevitable Regules has again captured a Belgian de , tachment of 170 men. The Belgians are de cidedly unfortunate in this country. The occupation of Tehuacan lias caused great sensation, as it is a city of some impor tance, near the road betweeen Puebla and Orizaba, and about equi-distant from both. The movements of the liberals were so rapid that no knowledge of the existence of such a large body of Liberals had reached either Puebla or Grizaba, and great fears sire enter tained that all the Austrian detachments on the road will be captured. Os Northern Mexico we hear that the road between Monterey and Matamoras is held by tue Liberal forces. The French journal says: “We have already announced that the convoy of silver, which left Monterey, was forced to return. It carried $700,000, but the insecurity of the road caused the loss of SIOO,OOO. It is known lhat Corliuas has in j creased his force ; besides the forces of Es* j cobedo, aud Aguirre have begun movements, ! and it is assured, so says the Sociedad, that at our last dates Saltillo was menanced by | Aguirre. In this situation, it is probable i that the 800 men of Gen. Mejia, who were to j have escorted tho convoy into Matamoras, I have been forced to retard their march.” | From Chihuahua the news comes that the • French General Brincourt demands reinforce ments, as the Liberals under General Negrete were so strongly posted that his column was not strong enough. President Juarez continued in Chihuahua. Iu the State of Duianco the Liberal Gen eral Patoui keeps the French garrison shut up, and was overrunning the whole Slate. The rainy season has paralyzed the move ments ot the beligerents, aud the Liberals are evidently concentrating with the view of opening a vigorous campaign in October.— For the present no great movement heed be expected. Under such a state of things you can im agine how rapidly this country is being ruined. No one dares to go a league out of the city. Merchandise continues lo accumu late here, and cannot be carried into the in terior. There is no agriculture, no com merce, no travel. The imperial fetes continue increasing in splendor, and the gorgeous toilettes of the Empress are dazzling to all ecstatic beholders.
