More Cottort gtefclilig,
Yesterday afternoon officer Jno. Eillouhry and Sera
geant Smith arrested a couple of negro men, having
in their possession a boat and some seven bags of cot-
ton. They conveyed the negroea and cotton to the
barracka where Capt. Anderson held an examination
The officer testified that a junk merchant on the whai f
between the Exchange dock and Drayton street, ac
costed him in the afternoon and asked him if he waa
on that beat He said yea, when the man informed
him that he wanted to get in some cotton that he had
bought, and asked him to go to the other end of his
beat to allow him to do so; that he would make it “ all
right.” The officer ” smelling a mice,” waited until
Sergeant Smith came along, when he informed him cf
the circumstance, and of the fact of a boat laying be
tween two vessels containing cotton. The officers then
laid in wait to see if any one would remove the cotton,
but seeing no one and finding these two negroes about
the boat they arrested them and took the cotton in
charge.
The negroes disclaimed all knowledge of the cotton,
though one of them said the boat belonged to him and
had been Btolen from him by some other negroes.
There not being enough evidence to authorize their
detention, one of them was dismissed, and Sergeant
Smith ordered to go with the other and see if his story
about the boat was correct, and if. it was to release
him. He also gave orders to arrest the white man
(whose name we withhold for the present) if he could
be found outside of his store.
The cotton waa packed in bags made of all aorta of
materials, such as bed-ticking and sailors’ hammocks,
Ac., and looked as though it were bagged by sailors.
Another SI- clclug Outrage.
Yesterday morning the police found a negro man
lying in Bay lane, between Houston and East Broad
streets, who presented a most horrid spectacle. He
had evidently died during the night of that m~si
loathsome disease, small pox, and appeared to have
been thrown from some of the tenexnenis thereabouts.
A sight of this kind would have, under any other cir
cumstances, collected a large crowd, but learning the
disease there were very few who had the temeri;ylo
go near the body. The corpse was allowed to remain
exposed in that condition for some hours until the
City Marshal was notified of the fact, when he had it
buried.
The question arises again, have we a Coroner ? Wa
certainly should have one, but the Marshal informs us
that this is the third case which he has been compelled
to take charge of and bury at the expense of the city.
The one before this was that of a negro man who was
picked up in the river and who was allowed to remain on
the wharf exposed to the sun and storm for a period of
at least three days before he was buried. There appears
to be something amiss in the office of coroner. If the
present incumbent has not received his commission
and cannot act, the functions of his predecessor are,
or certainly should be, still continued.
Captain Travis’ Pistol Gallery.
We understand that Captain Travis’ Shooting Gal
lery, which for several weeks past has been a popular
and }ileaeant resort for our citizens, who take an in-
tereat.in or desire instruction in the skilful use of the
pistol; will be closed on Wednesday evening, the 28th
iust., when he leaves us for a short sojourn in Augus
ta. The Captain, not less by his courteous and pleas
ing manhers than by his careful and pains-taking ef
forts to instruct his pupils in the use of firearms, has
made many warm friends, whose good wishes will at
tend him wherever he goes. He stands acknowledged,
we believe, the best pistol shot in America, while he
possesses the faculty in a remarkable degree of im
parting instruction to others in the use of his familiar
weapon.
The Darien Murder.—Yesterday morning the
steamer H. M. Cool, from Darien, arrived at this poit,
having on board Captain O’Keefe, charged with the
murder of Wm. Geary, one of his sailors at that place
about two weeks ago. He was in charge of a guard o 1
United States soldiers, and was delivered to Colonel
Kimball, commanding this district, who yesterday
turned him over to the civil authorities. He was ac
cordingly brought before Justice Levi S. Hart, who,
after a prelimiinary examination, committed him to
jail, to await the order of the authorities of McIntosh
county, within whose jurisdiction the crime was com
mitted.
Shoes Afloat.—On Monday as two men engaged in
taking timber down the river to one of the vessels
now finishing loading, they picked up a case of shoes,
containing some sixty pairs, near the south gap of Ve
nus’ Point. The men’s names are ThosT Johnson and
Jno. Connors, and any person having lost a case of
shoes, by enquiring at this office and giving the num
bers and marks of them can obtain the goods by pay
ing the necessary expenses.
The Steamer Standish.—Yesterday morning at
high tide the workmen engaged in trying to raise the
hull of the steamer Standish, succeeded in righting
her, and with the assistance of the Bteamtug Starlight,
she waa towed into the stream, and away from the
dock. We suppose thay will tow her across the river
and then, by the assistance of powerful pumps, may
be able to raise her.
From Sunbury.—The steamer U. F. Potter, Captain
Cessar, arrived last evening from Sunbury, and the
Purser reports having met the steamers Ella and
Clarion, bound down. She brought the crew of the
English bark British America, recently wrecked. The
purser will accept our thanks for favors.
[Special Correspondence of the Savannah Herald.]
FROM 3IILLEDGEVILLE.
Milledgevtlle, Ga., Feb. 13, 1866.
Editor Herald :
A great deal of the business before the Legislature
■ has been despatched, a great many questions have
been settled, yet much remains for the consideration
of that body. Already seren hundred bills havs been
introduced, only about two hundred of which have
been acted on. Still it must not be supposed from this
that the session is to be very much protracted. A
resolution has already been introduced in the House
to adjourn on the 28th, which resolution will he passed
and very likely carried. The spring promises to be
unusually early, and com planting in the lower coun
ties of the Sta’te has already begun. Members from
that section say they will not remain long after the 1st
of March.
I visited the penitentiary yesterday. Every house
in the enclosure was burned by the Federal army ex
cept the cell building. It will take at least $50,000 to
put the institution in a condition to receive convicts,
while it is probable that the penitentiary (which the
Legislature have decided to continue) will not be re
moved the present year from the city of Milledgeville,
it is all but certain that preliminary steps will be taken
to have the inetitution removed to the Stone Mountain
or to some other locality in the Northern section of
the State.
The Treasurer of the State having made the joyful
announcement that there is money in the Treasury,
and members lost no time in making application tor
their per diem.
A bill in reference to Vendue .Masters, offered by
Mr. Russell of Chatham, came up on its passage today
in the House. It allowed the municipal authorities of
any city or town to elect or appoint any number of
Vendue-Masters or Auctioneers upon their paying the
usual license or tax and giving such bond as may be
required by ordinance, Ac. The" Judiciary Commit
tee to whom this bill had been referred reported a
substitute which allows any citizen of Georgia to be a
Vendue Master upon paying a license. Mr. Bussell
moved an amendment by inserting after it the word
licence, “and by giving a bond.” Mr. J. J. Jones of
Burke, objected to the amendment, making a few re
marks, when Mr. Bussell addressed the House as fol
lows :
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen—
I must acknowledge that I am somewhat astonished
that any gentleman should object to this amendment.
I offered the original bill because I could not see any
good reason why tha corporate authorities of any city or
town should be compelled to elect any specifiednumber
of Vendue Masters. By reference to the act of '56, which
I will read you will perceive that the Mayor and Aider-
men of the cities of Savannah and Augusta can only
elect or appoint ten vendue masters, who are required to
pay a tax and give a bond which they require by ordin
ance. Now,Mr. Speaker, I have no objection to the bill
substituted for mine by the Judiciary Committee pro
vided my amendment be added to the bill, which only
requires the person or persons desiring to be vendue
masters to give a bond. I am in favor of allowing any
man the privilege of following the business of a
vendue master, as many depend upon this kind of
business for the support of their iamilies. At the
same time it will increase the income from State taxes,
as each vendue master has to pay ten dollars per
annum for his license; it also increases the revenue
of the respective corporate cittes and towns, by re
quiring them to give a bond as a guarantee that they
will do a legal business. I do, therefore, ask gentle
men that this amendment may be added to the bill
and that the bill as amended may be passed.
The House holds afternoon sessions, and is making
fine progress with its business. Chatham.

A NEW COTTON ORDER FROM THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Subscribers to tbe Confederate Cotton
Doan to be Required to Deliver their
Subscriptions.
The following order sppesrs in the Augusta Chroni
cle and Sentinel of yesterday:
OFFICE ASST. 8PECIAL AGENT,
L AGENT,)
U. S. Treasury Department, >
- “ b. 16,186d.)
Globe Hotel, Augusta, Ge., Feb,
Pursuant? to instructions received from the Hon.
Secretary of the Treasury, all persons who have sub
scribed to the so-called Confederate loans in this dis
trict are directed to report without delay at this office,
to make arrangements for the dilivery of their sub
scriptions.
Lists of the subscribers have been furnished to this
office.
Non-compliance with this order, within a reasonable
time, will subject the parties to great inconvenience.
Bailroad and steamboat companies will be held
responsible for transporting subscribed cotton out of
this district. James B. Willett,
Asst. Special Agt. Treasury Department.
Treasury Department, )
January 13, 1866.)
Sir:
* * * »• •
The twenty-fojur bales in question is represented to
b? part of a lot of one hundred bales, subscribed bv
F *, to the produce loan, ao-caHad, in the year
1863; by which subscription he agreed to dispose of
the cotton, on or before s oertain date, and to invest
the proceeds, in the form of specie . or sterling ex-
change, in eight per cent, bonds of the Confederate
States. Mr. F never fulfilled this obligati m, and
declares that he was never called upon to do so, nor
wire the bonds ever tendered to him. He Lai sold
part of the cotton on his own account. '
I do not regard the right of the Government to prop
erty seized by its officers in the insurrectionary States,
as limited to such property as by the rules and princi
ples of the common law, would be decided as having
oeen lawfully acquired by the so-called Confederal
States; nor does tbe United States derive its title to
such property from or through that ao-styled Gov
ernment, as its assignee or successor in law. In fact
this Government demea that the Confederate States,
as a Government or body corporate, de jure or tie
fucto, could lawfully acquire or possess any descrip
tion of property.
The title of the United States to such property is
founded upon its right, as an established Govern
ment under the law of nations, and under the acts of
its own legislature, to seize, hold, and apply to its ben
efit all property which has been used to overturn it, or
subvert its lawful authority, or which has been volun
tarily dedicated to such use by its owner.
It is apparent by Mr. F —’a statement that the
cotton in question was at one time so dedicated by
him. If it was not actually used for the purpose then
intended, or if he, for any reason, declined to fulfill
his agreement, the property is not thereby purged of
the taint; nor he restored to his original right therein.
You will ♦ * forward the cotton in
due course * *

Heavy Seizure.—A few days ago the Customhouse
officers of New Orleans seized s large lot of various
kinds of goods valued at from eighty to s hundred
thousand dollars. It consisted of army and Mexican
blankets, cloth, clothing, Ac. It seema that these
goods were smuggled into Texas from Mexico just be
fore the close of the war, and carried from place to
place in Texas, but without finding buyers.
