The Savannah Daily Herald. BY S. W. MASON & CO SAMUEL. W. MASON, Editor W. T. THOltlPSOB, Associate Editor Official Paper of the City LAMEST CIRCULATION!! THE CITV AH GOURTY WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1, 1806. PUBLIC EXPENDITURES. The prepositions, now before Congress, equalize the bounties of soldiers and pay losses of claimants assuming to be loyal, es thm;: cd at $000,000,000 each, have created much alarm in financial circles throughout the country. It is alleged that to endorse one of these propositions is to endoise the other. Both projects make the plea of equity and in this case, to touch upon the rylla of bounties is to rush on ebarybdis of claims Tue holders of government securities, espe cially, contemplate with fear and trembling the addition of one billion two hundred mil lion of dollars to the present national debt, It is with evident symptoms of a paDic that they hear these measures pressed upon Con gross and urged with vehemence by many members. Whatever may be the seeming duty iu paying one soldier as much as an other, it loses, in their judgment, even the appearance of justice when to do so, will uc- compiish the financial ruin of the country. However the future may be able to repair the damages or the inequalities of the late war, it is believed the present cannot do this, save at the destruction of National credit and the cost of universal distress. Y/e believe the apprehension is well found ed, and that disaster to this country does not lie altogether in tbo direction of reconstruc tion. Tuat question, bv being unnecessarily delated, will greatly retard our prosperity, but. it may not precipitate another revolution or seriously disturb the land. The most that can lie said of it at present is,that it is far more likely to defeat the men or destroy the move ment that mismanages it, than to effect aoy lasting injury on the government. The spe cial danger that looms up as we read the fu ture takes rise from the immense magnitude of our National debt. It is the sea of finance perhaps, that is most difficult to navigate, aud there are the rocks on which we are most likely to split, aud the reefs where the ship of State will strand, if at all. To-day our credit is good. Gold is de clining, aud with it some diminution of prices. The next great blessing to follow the return of peace is the reduction of the present frightful cost of living. For the American people there remains nothing to be done that can compare in its benefits with the policy which assists in the return, or an approach to the return, of the former prices of the necessaries of life. Under the wise financial system of the present Secretary of the Treasury, if his re commendations are followed by Congress, it Is predicted the advent of this glad event will be no chimera. That policy has suc ceeded thus far in avoiding a mercantile cri sis, while it is safely preparing, we hope, the way for funding and contraction. Renewed confidence on the part of foreign capitalists is established, and great activity is manifest ed iu procuring bonds. Anything whicts changes this healthy and promising state of things must be regarded as a calamity. Tbi3 condition caunot only be impaired, but destroyed by each of two processes. One, repudiation, of which we apprehend no dan ger—tue other, such an increase of our na tional debt, ttat payment becomes, if not a matter of impossibility, at least so improba ble that capital at home and abroad will shrink from investment. The funding plan, as we understand it, seeks to bortow in Eu rope at one-half the interest now paid. To be successful our security must be kept sa cred and inviolate. By jeopardizing our se curities in the manner proposed, we would not only blest the prospects of obtaining mo ney in Hie old world, but would seriously de preciate our values at home. The measures before Congress may have the elements of local popularity, but their adoption might prove “the stale bait of popularity at the ex pense of the public good.” It is not likely, however, that they will meet with favorable consideration, as we in fer from the fact that the Committee on Claims at Washington have already reported in favor of throwing out all claims growing out of the rebellion; announcing also that the amount ol these claims roll up so heavi ly that their payment will require more mo ney than the country can furnish, and that, in their opinion, “the establishment of a pre cedent in their payment would be very dan gerous.’’ THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE WIDOW OF STONBWAU. JACKSOS. A Noble Letter from Hr*. Jackwa. [From the Charleston News, Feb. 5th.] A few weeks since we saw In aome of oar exchange? statements, apparently authentic, of the very straitened circumstances of the widow and family of the late lamented General Jackeon; and, prompted by a pro- Xound AfimirAHftn of bii trucenddot military gaxuus and his exalted moral worth, we proposed to take up a subscription in Charleston for their relief To our nots addressed to her upon the subject we havereosived the letter which w# publiah below, and, as an actor justice to the lady, we would request such of our con temporaries a* have published the notice of her circumstances, and which have taken the meeeuree to relieve them which we ourselves proposed, to publish also this communication. Hie spirit of the letter, it must be confessed, it very beautiflti. ...... It is not denied that the is without means, and tost she Is dependent upon her father, known not to be ample; and there is etUl room for the regret that the relic of one so v sc orated oould not be placed by his admiring countrymen in a position of a more perfect independence; but she is too conscious of what is due to herself ss a woman. and to the rnsm- orv of her great husband, to be placed in the position of a mendicant of common charity; and contributions, in misconception of her position, therefore, with th- most nerfeci kindness for those who offer them, sho feels constrained to decline. The reeoluUon we ad mire. It is ae which, in justice to her, we ought to have anticipated. But the wteh lingers with us. as it will linger, doubtless, with our readers, that in aome wav apart from a process so unpleasant, the means might be found to testify to those he had left behind bun the gratitude and admiration of a people for the greatest man this age has known. The small amount contr.b ited. upon the original announcement of our purpose, however, we will still take the liberty offor- warding, in the hope that, in aome way, she will be pleased to use It Conan* Hour, N. C., January 35,18G6. Mt Dean Sis; Your letter of the 3d Inst, was for warded to me from Lexington, Virginia. I have de layed answer for a few days, hoping to receive the pa pers to which you referred, but it has not yet reached me, and 1 have not had the pleasure of reading your editorial; but. Judging from the remarks in your let. ter, I suppose It is a similar publication to what has recently appeared in many of the newspapers, repre senting the family of General Jackson aa suffering for the necessities of life and appealing to the public for their relief. It Is a source of deep regret and mortification to me, and to my family and friends, that such a misunder standing should exist in regard to my circumstances. It is true thst almost the whole of my little fortune hae been swept away. My noble husband, actuated by patriotism, invested In Confederate bonds to assist the Government, and I, following his example, the conse- queno# was the loss of nearly the whole of his estate; out nod nas still left to me one of the kindest of Cith ers, who has the means of providing all the comforts of life for ms and my orphan child. The pecuniary sufferings of others in our atfilcted land have been so muob greater than my own that, in this respect, I have only need of a more thankful heart And I, of all others, shovld have no fears for the future, for the covenant keeping God of mv husband has watched over ns heretofore, and the love of this great people to me and my little ohild, on his account, filla my heart with grateful Joy. While it is one of the greatest comforts of my deso lated bfe to tee the many beautiful and eloquent tributes to the memory of my beloved husband, and I would gratefully accept any offerings that are volun tarily given as testimonials of love and gratitude to him, yet the contributions that are now callod for are given under a false impression, and It is Inconsistent with my ideas of honor and rectitude to receive them. I would, therefore, beg that all efforts that are made to raise a fund for my "relief," both In Charleston and elsewhere, be immediately stopped. With thanks to the warm-hearted and generous clt- zens of Charleston for their kind feelings towards me and mine, I remain, yonra very truly, Manx Anna Jackson. Geo. R. Cathcaxt.

It will be painful intelligence to the many friends of this good and gifted man to learn that he hae been gathered to his fathers, having expired at his residence in Affieuc cn Thursday last. His death was sudden, while in the enjoyment of hie usual health. It was his custom at morning to devote a short time to the study of that Bible which had been ths constant companion of his long and useful life. On being called tobreak- taet on the morning of his death, hit failure to attend caused a servant to be sent to summon him a second time, when it was discovered that the vital spark had flown while sitting in his chair In the act of reading the groat book whose teachings he had followed through out his long, honorable and Christian career. Thu* has passed from earth one of Georgia^ most honored sons, and one in whom was blended not only all the elements of a useful citizen, but whose virtues were of that rare order possessed by few men. The light o, his exemplary and model course of life shone like f unsbine around him ; and if a perfect man ever dwelt upon earJU the spotless character of Atbury iluii was such as to stamp him as one. He had been honored wich Die confidence of hie constituents in the General Assembly of our Suta during many sessions, end won golden opinions by the wisdom and manli ness wbicn characterized him in tho councils of bis (State. No public act of his life can be pointed to that does not exhibit qualities of head and heart greatly to be admired ; while in toe homo circle and in (octal life he stood :ortn a model and a bright ornament. To the church, and to the community in which he lived his loss will bo irreparable, while over the sacred grief that must pervade the clrclo of his extensive family connexions we could wish to draw a veil.—Atlanta I radii ppt.ct-/, Feb. 1. Augusta, Feb. 2,1866. To the Editors of the Savannah Hernia : Ge ntlemen—Groat and just cause for complaint is made by our merchants relative to the loososndun fair conrse pursued by many of the Savannah forward iaj and steamboat agents, in shipping goods to this place without specifying on bill of lading the rate of freight to be paid. In other words, they make no con tracts with carricra.bnt allow steamboats to charge spy rate of freight they may please. Large ehlppera, through the carelessness or desire of forwarders, are frequently compelled to pay from one to two hundred per cent, more freight on some boat* than partial sending small shipments. We are determined to put a stop to those outragea. In future we will give our business only to those steamboat agents and forwarding merchants who ■will study our interest enough to secure us reasonable freights, and in all cases specify the rate contracted for on bill of lading. Hoping, gentlemen, that we may have no further causa of complaint from the same gource. I remain your, Jurric*. A Rlcb Seen, on John’s Island, 8. C. A party of sober, staid white men, from the State of Will*Am Penn, visited John’s Island, S. C., on Sunday lost, with the intention of purchasing land and making examinations of tho plantations. For this purpose a steamboat was placed et their disposal by General Sickles, and In due timethe party arrived at the Island. Cn reaching the settlement at a plantation which they wanted to examine before purchasing, th# whole party were surrounded by an Infuriated mob of “colored folks," (it is not respectable to say negroes now,) armed with all kinds of weapons, and the aforesaid white gentlemen threatened with instant death for daring to enter the stronghold of their island without permission from the Tycoon, who now rulos the island with despotic away. The white men from Pennsylva nia were immediately seized and compelled to walk twelve miles, almost the entire length of the island, to tho headquarters of the colored Tycoon, who runs the machine, that is, the Bureau of Uncle Sam. The poor white men begged, implored, offered mo ney, aud promised to return to their boats and never invade the privacy of Africa's domains again ; the fat Pennsylvanians showed their authority from the big Bureau at Washington and Generals Sickles and Dc- vene, at Charleston ; but Cuffey couldn't read, and re plied that he would kill Gen. Howard, Gen. Sickles or any other "cussed white man who cum on Jim or Jon Island for take he property." There was no alter native left, and the Pennsylvanians had to trudge twelve miles through the heavy sand, surrounded by mob oi about one hundred and fifty infuriated blacks, several of whom wanted to "loose them in the woods," and were only restrained from doing so by the hard entreaty of themselves and the influence of a few of the negroes, whose compassionate hearts malted at the blistered feet and sufferings of the “poor white buiras." In order to hasten the pace of the captives, the ne groes poked them in the ribs with sticks, and occa sionally touched them from behind with a point of a yonet, or some other sharp instrument. Reader, if you have over been on John'* Island, you can form ■ correct idea of the unspeakable pleasure the gentlemen from Pennsylvania must have enjoyed last Sabbath in walking twelve miles through the loose, fine sand of that beautiful island under suob very agreeable and pleasant associations. Bat to our narrative. The white men of Pennsylvania arrived at the headquar ters of the Tycoon about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, foot sore and completely exhausted. The Tycoon of the Bu reau appeared In ail his majesty and pomp, examined the papers, and found them correct. With a wave of his band bis people dispersed and the white men were rescued from their terrible fete. After receiving rose and refreshments, they departed for Charleston wiser, if not better men, when they laid their heavy grievances before the Bureau, and the people of Charleston, through the columns of the press, from whence the substance of th* foregoing has Been gather ed. Tho whole affair is on# of '‘the richest jokes of the season;” bnt we presume our Pennsylvania friend* do not view it In that light, and it would not surprise us if a special committee was appointed by Congress, with old Thad. Stevens ss chairman, to see If the whole thing was not a canard ooncooted by the Copperheads. Volts viron».—Aujusta Constitutionalist. Natiosal Banks Washiuton letters say that a mt- •ority of the Committee on National Banks are decid edly opposed to making the banking capital $400,000,- 000. The Secretary of the Treasury maintains that there is no necessity for a further increase at the pre sent time, but believe that something should be done in order to give the Southern States their apportion, ment under the law. Both the Secretory of the Trea sury and United States Treasurer Spinner arc in favor of legislation which allow any bank, with consent cf the directors, to remove to any other State or locality. If adopted by Congress, this will allow any national bank, whose business is not remunerative, to go to other sections of the country. Outside of the Committee we have the following re port; "The Comptroller of the Currency, Hon. Free man Clarke, adheres to the recommendation in hia re port of one hundred millions, based upon the retiring of a like amount of legal tender." Another report says that Mr. McCulloch "might perhaps consent to an increase of $25,000,0C0 for the Southern States." Thx National Dsar— 1 Ths London Times bee just been calculating that at the present rets it would take four hundred years and more to pay off the British national debt. Bnt an English writer calculates that, by the linking fund process, as now administered by the Commissioners, the whole can be paid off in less than one hundred years. One, pound, he says, multi plies itself in a hundred years, into six hundred and seven pounds invested in the three per cent consols, In the manner in which It la now done. If so, our whole n v ioual debt would be absorbed in the same rate of interest, by a sinking fond of $4,772,894, sup posing the debt to be $2,800,000,000. But if invested in our own securities, tt six per cent, half that amount should be sufficient in the same time. This is an age of gigantlo aocnmulattona King Leopold lately died, leaving a fortune of twenty-five million* of his own private savings. The Queen of Engianu, costly se Is the State In which she lives Is said to be laying by at least as much more.

WATKINS, und ths bnainsm will hereafter be conducted under the style of Savannah, February lat, 1866*^ * He will introduce his inimitable Performing Roa- alao Horse “CZ A R.»> This horse was raUed in Southern Rnrala by a Cir cassian soldier. Like the Arabians, the nomadic people of his tribe form the strangest and most in violable attachments to their unexcelled horses — They make their favorite coursers their special com panions, and train ihem to be very fleet and Intelli gent. This Circassian, during one of Ills wandering tours, became very needy, and soon found eager pro posers for the purchase of his splendid horse. At ast he consented to part with him. He was brought before Ihe purchaser, and there ensned a scene that has been used as a subject of a poet’s pen. At a sig nal from him, the horse, “ Witli flowing tail and living mane, Wiih nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to the bit or rein ; And feet that Iron never shod, And flanks unscarred by spur or rod. The bounding horse—the wild, the free— Like wave That dashes on the sea, Came proudly thundering on." There stood the noble horse, the admiration of every beholder. No steed of the Tartar, or Ukraine or Arab breed could be more beautifnlly formed.— Never did Landseer or Rosa Bouheur see or imagine a more perfect animal. He will also Introduce hia thoroughbred Trick Horse, “ ANDY JOHNSON.” hiseomlcpony “JANUARY,” and his EDUCATED MULES. lie will execute his FLYING LEAP, or Leap lor Life, every Afternoon and Evening. , auction sale By Mendel & Uaffitoan.
