Adjourned tiU three o'clock P. M. The Negro Soldiers In Columbus. We noticed a few dsys since the transfer of a body of negro troops from Augusta to Columbus, Ga., the white garrison from the latter place having been re- Ueved. The foUowing extracts from the Columbus Bun and Times show that they are keeping up the reputation they had previously acquired in Augusta aud elsewhere. The Sun of the 11th inst. says: “One of the first ladies of thi9 city was going to her home, on Front street, yesterday afternoon stout two o'clock. In her hand was held a portmonnaie con taining some eighty dollars, which she was swinging by the chain. She was met by a negro soldier, to whom she paid no attention. In passing, the scoun drel seized the portmonnaie and ran a short distance, and, turning around, gave her a most insulting smUe, threw the i>urtmonnaie upon the ground and walked oil'. The lady, thinking the negro intended to insult her, picked up the book and iouud the money gone. She instantly raised an alarm for assistance, but before gentlemeu from the adjacent houses could reach the spot the negro had disappeared. Friends soon repre sented the case to the lieutenant iu command. “His action in the premises was good. He promised that he would use every means to detect the soldier thief, and that, if he could be identified, he should be punished. He also stated that every citizen should protect himself from insult, and his premises from robbery. / “On Thursday afternoon a lady on the upper part of Church street was bitterly cursed by one of these sol diers, when she had not said one word to him.” In the same paper of tbe 13th inst. we find the fol lowing: “An affair occurred yesterday afternoon about six o’clock which all regret, but which could not have been avoided. From what we can learn from wit nesses, both white and block, it seems that two young men were going down Broad street, when directly op posite the store of A. Crane Hz Co,, a few doors below the burnt district on Broad street, they were met by a negro soldier, who to oil appearances purposely ran against one of them. “The gentleman remarked, ‘you had better run over me, ’ or words to that effect, wheu the negro commenced cursing him most bitterly for a *son of a bitch,’ a ‘ras cal,’ and using the most insulting language. The gen- tieinau did his best to avoid the difficulty, telling the negro to go away, aud walking off slowly. At last the negro asserted he had put hundreds like him under the ground aud started to draw a bayonet, when the gentleman shot him three times. The negro with bayonet in his hand and still cursing tottered back to the shanties on the comer. He was carried to the barracks and, we are informed, died in a tew miuutes. • The gentleman who fired the shot is alleged to be Mr. Cooper Lindsay, one of our tost and bravest young men. He, fearing the vengeance of the troops, fled, pursued by a squad of the negro soldiers, one of whom tired at him at Gunby’s comer. This negro was ar rested aud carried by the civil authorities to the guard bouse, but was afterwards conducted to the bai racks by Mayor Wilkins. Mr.*L. escaped, and so did the gentle man who was with him, said to be Mr. Hub Ruther ford. Two negro soldiers came to the scene of shoot ing with muskets, cursing furiously, but were ordered back by otficers. They obeyed, but weut back in the same style, aud one tried to .strike a white man with a musket but was prevented. A collision between the whites and blaeks at one time was grertly feared, as there was much excitemeut. The officers, however, ordered all the colored troops to the b irracks. The ytticers used their best endeavors to avoid ail difficulty, and promised that citizens should be unmolested. “A gentleman, Mr. Sol. Crew, while walking along quietly at Duran’s corner, after the shooting, was knocked down by a musket in the hands of a negro soldier. Afterwards several shots were fired from the barracks in Bank’s building. “In the excitemeut Mr. B. Ledbetter, while in the crowd, was accidentally shot iu the leg by a glancing ball. The shot was not from a negro. “The negroes were confined to the barracks last night, and after seven o’clock all was quiet. “The officers of the garrison here, have, we believe, tried to avoid difficulties and have everything go oil pleasantly ; but a large majority of the negro soldiers have done all in their power to provoke trouble, and have sought difficulties. “We presume tlie affair will to investigated this morning, und that both geutlemeu will appear. “ Since writing the above we learn that Maj. War ner, formerly of the Naval Iron Works, who was walk ing on the opposite side of the street, was shot in tlie leg by a ball fired from one of the windows of the bar racks in Banks’s building. His leg was amputated above the knee a short time after, by Drs. Foard, Stanford aud others. These shots were perfectly in excusable.” T1IE CHURCH MILITANT. Mr. Secretary Stanton Espouses the Cause of One of the Parties—A Member Ousted at the Point of the Bayonet. Under the ruling of a recent order from the War De partment, which gives possession of certain Methodist Church property “to those ministers and members who remain with and act under tfie ecclesiastical juris diction governing said churches prior to 1861,” the church edifice at Hamilton, in this county, was on Sunday last so disposed of by military authority.— Since the formation in 1861, of what is known as the Staunton Conference, the church at Hamilton has been occupied by ministers belonging to that body—there being none others, until recently, to contest its use.— Sunday morning last being a regular appointment of the Rev. Mr. Waugh of the Staunton Conference, an appointment for the same hour was also made by Rev. Mr. Ross of the Baltimore Conference, and a courier dispatched to Hamilton on Saturday to demand the keys of the House, which was refused. With the rising of the Sabbath sun, a file of twelve or fifteen armed soldiers proceeded to the scene of ac tion, arriving on the ground about 8y 2 o’clock. A con siderable congregation had already assembled in the church to hear Mr. Waugh, who had not entered the house. He was waited on by the officer in charge of the squad, and notified that he would not be allowed to fill his appointment, and the house turned over to Mr. Ross, whereupon the former gentleman retired, and the most of the assembled congregation with him. Another congregation then assembled, and Mr. Ross fulfilled his appointment. A considerable number of persons had gathered together, in anticipation, no doubt of a disturbance but uo disturbance took place beyond that we we have stated. These are the facts, as given us by one who was present. As the order from Washington leaves the final title to the church property to to decided by the Courts, we presume the question will ere long be judicially settled. Verily, if Christ’s kingdom on earth don’t sutler, it won’t be the fault of some of His chosen lambs. The Mexican Question.—The Paris correspondent of the London Times gives a minute account of the circumstances under which the Emperor Napoleon dispatched M. Salliard on a special mission to Mexico. He was hurried to the Palace, when the Emperor said he wanted him to set out without delay for Mexico, with a message from him to Maximilian. He was to tell Maximillian that he (Napoleon ) considered that he had fulfilled all the obligations imposed on him, and that the time had arrived when Maximillian must depend upon his own resources, without the help of the French army. M. SaJJiUrd acked for some creden tials, but the Emperor observed that there was no ne cessity for any documents—all he had to do was to represent to Maximillian the conversation he had just had, and that would suffice. He recommended M. Salliard, moreover, to lose no time in setting out for Mexico, but to depart by the first steamer. The Times correspondent says : “Napoleon never does anything without some good and substantial reason. What that reason is, in the present instance, in sending an Envoy to Mexico, with only verbal instructions, he, himself, only knows.” Arrival of Emigrants.—The Charleston Courier of the 8th inst, chronicles the arrival, per the steamer Quaker City, on her last trip, of one hundred and sixty-five German emigrants—including, men women and children. They will proceed at once to form a settlement on the plantations of Messrs. Weldon aud Dayton, in Christ Church Parish. It was through the influence of theee gentlemen that the emigrants were persuaded to select South Carolina for a permanent residence. They all are steady, industrious people; and the adults have had more or less experience in agricultural mat ters. At Christ Church Parish they will give their at tention to the raising of vegetables and cotton. This is the first really large installment of emigrants that has arrived at Charleston since the discussion of thy new system of labc* has commenced. African Financiering.—The Indianapolis Herald says the dignitaries of the Vfrican church in that city some time ago purchased a lot. on Tennessee street, ostensibly for the purpose of erecting a church upon it. As soon as it was known in the neighborhood, it created a lively sensation among the property holders. The real estate malcontents growled “consumedly.” The Africans laid low and kept “dark,” untd finally the neighbors made up a bonus of $1,000, to be do nated to the church if they would buUd it in some' other place. The proposition was accepted, and the church will to built over the canal It also transpired that the Tennessee street operation was only a shrewd bit of financiering to secure a liberal contribution from the white folks to assist in building the church. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1866. PRIpE. 5 CENTS. Georgia Military Institute. From information received from Milledgeville, the citizens of. Fort Valley, Ga., are making- % bid for the transfer of the Georgia Military Institute to their place, which is quite favorable to the State in her crippled condition. They propose to give the State one hundred and fifty acres of land (equivalent to one thousand dollars), beautifully located, with a constant stream of water running through it, with two fine springs near the site ; there being plenty of wood on the land to fur nish the Institute for several years. Also, five thousand dollars in cash, which is to be paid in by the citizens, in four installments ; first payment April 1st, and the last January 1st, 1869. Further, allowing tbe State, through the Governor, to appoint one-half of the Board of Trustees, and they adopting all rules and regulations as have already governed the school, so far as practicable. The State only giving, by transfer, the charter with its privileges, as well as tlie library, chemical appara tus, etc., the most of which was destroyed at this place by Sherman’s army, with the proceeds of the sale of land and the debris of the old school at Ma rietta, probably worth from five hundred to a thousand dollars, which it is proposed shall go In to build up the new school.—Macwi, Mt^seiujer. Tlie Constitutional Amendment. Mr. Fessenden’s speech in the Senate on Wednes day, in reply to Mr. Sumner, shows the diversity of views in Congress even among the Radicals. The Sumner men propose to get along by law, without the Constitution, and the other wing propose to amend the Constitution in order to secure laws to their liking. Of each it should to said, “Unstable as * water, thou shalt not excel. 1 ’ Mr. Fesseuden sustained the President, and trod on Mr. Sumner’s toes when he said, “1 presume Uo man who looks at the question dis- passionatelyfand calmly, would contend that those so recently slaves are fit to exercise the right of suffrage. If we passed a resolution of that kind, the result would to that the slave States must either admit all, or else they must make a rule of exclusion that would cut off', not only all the colored population, but a very large portion of the own white population from the exercise of the right of suffrage, and tor a time it would create an oligarchy—the power of a few.” Mr. Fessenden also stated the objections to the proi)08ition abolishing distinction on account of color. Connecticut had refused to adopt a similar propo sition. Wisconsin Laid done the same. The Western States seemed to to opposed to it, and New York made distinction on account of color. There were but two propositions left, he said, to base representa tion upon votes, or to report what is now before the' Senate, and Mr. F. preferred the one before the other. —AVio York Express. IN GENERAL. —A few nights since a gang of New York theives took passage on a Brooklyn ferry boat, put out the lights aud then “went through” the passengers, rob bing them of their valuables, and escaping from the boat on her arrival before the police could be called. —The French Academy of Science are investigating whether the cholera is not caused by the “winged leech” an auimalculas developed in marshy and fil thy localities. —Two fellows recently crawled under the depot at Newport, bored a hole up through the floor and into a puncheon of whiskey, drew off sixty gallons, which they carried away with them, and let the rest of the fluid run to waste. —Shakspeare says that “ use strengthens habit.” Somebody States that he tried the experiment on a coat, but it did not answer at all. —A Dutchman, a few days ago, picked up a bound volume of documents, on the took of which was stamped “Pub Docs.” “Teifel,” said he, “vat kind of books will dey bruit next ? As I lit, here ish one on pup tog*. —An experiment tried by an eminent physician of St. Petersburg, during the prevalence of the cholera there several years ago, |serves to illustrate the influ ence of the mind upon the body. He obtained of the authorities two criminals who had been condemned to death, to do with them as he saw fit One of these convicts was made to sleep in a bed in which, as he was told, a man died with the cholera tbe night be fore—although such was not the fact. After a restless night, the criminal was taken with all tbe symptoms of cholera, aud uied of the disease, declaring that he had caught it from the bed—a victim to his own fears. The other was made to sleep on a bed wherein a man hail died a few hours .previously of the fatal disease. The fact, however, was unknown to the occupant of the tod, who arose in the morning refreshed by his sleep, remaining iu perfect health. The Way they Treat Horse Thieves in Memphis. —A week ago, last Friday, a gaug of notorious horse thieves, headed by one Bowling, who resides about three miles outside Memphis, on the Germantown plank road, entered the town of Saltillo, and were im mediately arrested* by the citizens, who, upon consul tation,determined upon ridding the community ofsuch ruffians, and in a short time thereafter, Bowling, with liis six confederates, were ordered to be shot. This sentence was carried into immediate execution, aud these bad men thus expiated the folly of their mani fold crimes. Extraordinary November Heat in Australia.— Australian papers make mention of sudden and in tense heat in the middle of November, affecting the health of very many persons. The Melbourne Age says that at Beechwui^h, several animals, principally cats aud dogs, died of sunstroke. On the 21st, the thermometer at Adelaide reached 113.5 deg. in the shade and 155.6 deg. in the sun, as shown by the reg ister at the observatory. Lacon Out-Laconed. — “You tot” is * strong phrase in California, signifying strong affirmation. The following story is told of that region. A burglar at midnight climbed to a chamber window, and cau tiously oj>eued it. Tbe occupant, chancing to be awake, crept softly to the window, and just as the robber’s face appeared, pressed against it the cold, smooth muzzle of a revolver, with the injunction, “ you get.” “ You bet,” replied the robber dropping to the ground and running for his life. Tliare is no more pithy dialogue on record. Blessings.—Thack ry tells of an Irish woman tog ging alms of him, who, when she saw him put his hand in his pocket, cried out, “May the blessings of God follow yon all your life”—but when he only pulled out his Bnuff box, immediately added—“and never overtake ye I” Whiskey, Segars, Corn and Seed Rice. l<VtM> Havana Negara 6i»0 Imahels Prime Yellow Corn 1,600 bnahels Selected Seed Klee Ju“t received and for sale b; f!6-lw PHILLIPS A MYKR8.

They seldom bend or break, like the sin gle Springs, and consequently preserve their perfect and beautiful shape more thantwice as long as any Single Spring Skirt that ever baa or can be made. The wonderful flexibility and great rumfort and pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex Elliptic Skirt will be experienced particularly in all crowded Assem blies, Operas, Carriages. Railroad Cars, Church Pews, Arm Chairs, for Promenade and House Dress, as the Skirt can be folded when in use to occnpy a small place as easily and conveniently as a Silk or Muslin Dress. A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort and great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt for a single (hy will never after wards willingly dispense with their use. For children, misses and young ladies they are superior to nil oth ers. The Hoops are covered with 2 ply double twisted thread and will wear twice as long aa the single yarn covering which is nsed on mil Single Steel Hoop Skirts.

T IIE TRAVELERS’ INSURANCE CO., of Hart ford, Conn., was the first to successfully intro duce in this country the practice of Insurance against Accidents, of whatever kind, whether they occur iu traveling, or in hunting, fishing, sailing riding, skat ing, in the street, store, office, or while working in shops, mills, factories, or on the farm. A General Accident Policy covers every possible form of casualty, Including the risk in traveling, also all forms of dislocations, broken bones, raptured tendons, sprains, concussions, crushing*, bruises, cuts, stabs, gunshot wounds, poisoned wounds, barns and scalds, bites of dogs, unprovoked assaults of burglars, robbers dr murderers—the action of light ning or sun stroke, the effects of explosions, chem icals, floods and earthquakes, suffocation by drown ing or choking. Tills Company has now been in successful opera tion since April 1st, 1864, aud up to January 1st, 1866, had issued upwards of thirty-five thousand policies, and paid over nine hundred losses—including tlie large sum of *65,500 to twenty-one policy hunters witnin the year, for $394 40 received in premiums. Cash Assets, Jan* 1, 1866 $589,519 94 GENERAL ACCIDENT POLICIES. The best policy for every man, whether lie travels mucii or little, is a General Accident Policy, which insures against every possible form of casually, at all times, and times and places. An aunual premium of *10 or $12 (according to oc cupation), will secure a General Accident Policy for *2,000, in case of fetal accident, or $10 per week during disability caused by accident (not exceed ing twenty-six weeks for any one accident.) An annual premium for $2-> or $30 will, in like manner, secure a policy for $6,000, or $25 per week compensation. Any other sum, from $500 to $10,000, at proportion-, ate rates. Where policies are issued against loss of life only, or for compensation only, the rates are much lower. A liberal discount on three and five year policies. A.
