LARGEST 6IMHLATIII IN THE CITY ANN SNINTT
FRIDAY, MARCH 30,
THE CATTL^^UAGUK.
The disquiet occasioned throughout
Europe by the prevalence of the cholera has
been much increased lately t«y the rapid ex
■pension of a fatal epidemic amoDg the cat
tle. All efforts to arrest the progress of this
singular malady have thus far proved una
vailing. According to the tenor of recent
advices from Consular agents at different
points in Europe the disease is still spread
ing, and fenys are entertained that it w^U in
fect the whole country. In England, es
pecially, its ravages continue with unabated
violence, and whole districts are being de
prived of cattle, and agriculturalists crip
pled, if not ruined.
Of course this unwelcome intelligence has
created some uneasiness io this country, lest
lhi<= novel plagne should accompany the
cholera in its anticipated voyage across the
Atlantic. We notice that a most stringent
cattle law has just been promulgated by the
authorities of British America. It is stated
that it is more prohibitory on importation of
cattle, than the law passed by the Congress
«>i the United States upon the same subject.
The farmers and stock raisers of Pennsyl
vania were much frightened a short time
since by the sudden appearance of a cattle
disease somewhere in their midst, the symp
toms of which assimilated very nearly to
those attending the European malady; but a
careful examination by skillful veterinarians
led to a division of public opinion upou the
question, which still exists. Tiie Legisla
ture appointed a commission for a careful
investigation of the subject, but its report
does not show conclusively that a coutagious
disease may not be raging among the cattle
in some portions of Pennsylvania; it only
shows that in the comparatively small num
ber insured there had been no unusual mor
tality. Whether pleura pneumonia, as stated
by many intelligent farmers, or any other
malady, is among the cattle of any particu
lar locality, the report advises the agricultu
ralists and raisers ot stock to use all means to
stop its spread, and thus prevent it from be
coming general.
Now, this is a subject in which the South
ern people are as deeply interested as any
other, and we would, therefore, commend it
to their earnest attentton, in the hope that
precautionary steps will be taken, if practi
cable, to obstruct the progress of the epi
demic, should it make its appearance in their
midst.

The Duncan trial now in program in thia
city has been tenponrily impended until
the attendance of on important witness foj
the-prosecution can be procured, probably
next week. The witness, Sleeper, whose
testimony has furnished perhaps the most
importaut evidence for the prosecution thus
far elicited, was summoned by Duncan to
testify in his defence.

lltmarkn.
Fmdat, Marctr 30, 1860.
'In fidfilmAfl of onr i
promise at the own
ing of the street-raiiTOad question, we make
room this morning for a communication
upon the subject, which favors the measure.
PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOCTHEHN
PORTS.
Tiie merchants of the Quaker City, unlike
their mors enterprising neighbors of N. Y.
city, have exhibited but little, if any, desire
since the' close of the war, to renew com
mercial intercourse with the South. It
seems however from recent indications, that
they have discovered the folly of such in
ertness and are inaugurating a wiser policy.
Six hundred and thirty thousand dollars
have been subscribed recently to the stock o 1
the Philadelphia and Southern Mail Steam
ship Company. It is proposed to reach, by
means of the steamers to be owned by this
company, the ports ot Wilmington, Charles
ton, Savannah and New Orleans. The first
three named ports will be visited weekly, and
semi-monthly, or, if possible, weekly trips
to New Orleans. But. it is stated to accom
modate the southern trade in a proper man
ner. and to increase it by superior facilities
lor shipment of goods from that port, not
less than eight steamers are necessary, and to
build and equip these in a substantial man
ner, three bundled and seventy-five thou
sand dollars are yet necessary. This sum, it
is believed, can be raised, if the facts are
faily presented to business men. A city
paper says the merchants must have these
lines or surrender the whole trade of the
south to other northern cities. We have no
doubt a lair proportion of the southern trade
will tiow to that city if a channel is opened
bv which it can reach there, and we hope the
appeal tor funds to put the contemplated
fines in operation will be promptly responded
to by the merchants, capitalists and business
men of Philadelphia.
THE MAIL -| *
For the convenience of the mercantile
community and tbe_public generally we have
compiled the foilowing acbedule of the hours
of closing the various mails from this city,
which may be relied on as accurate and com
plete. We would recommend onr readers
to preserve it, thereby preventing frequeDt
inconvenience to themselves and annoyance
to the hard-worked Post Office clerks:
The mail closes for—
Augusta, at 5 1-2 p. m. every day;
New York and the West, Charleston, Au
gusta and Central R. R. way stations, at 8 p.
m. every day;
Gulf Railroad, at 8 p. m. Mondays, Wed
nesdays and Fridays;
Florida, at 9 a. m. Tuesdays and Satur
days:
Hilton Head and Beaufort, S- C., at 10
a. m. Thursdays.
We are informed that upwards of fifty let
ters on an average per week are dropped in
the letter-boxes, having either revenue
stamps upon them or no stamps at all.
Revenue stamps do not pay postage, and let
ters bearing them, as well as those without
stamps, go to the Dead Letter Office.
With refence to the pre-payment ot letters
erroneous statement of the present rules
of the P. O. Department appeared a few
days since, which we desire to correct. We
should have stated that letters not folly pre
paid, through ioadvertance, but paid with
one full rate, are forwarded to their desti
nation with double the deficiency charged
That is, a letter which should be paid with
0 cents, if bearing one 3 cent stamp, is for
warded marked C cents due; but if paid
with a 2 cent stamp, a revenue stamp,
has no stamp at all, is sent to tfie Dead Let
ter Office. Foreign letters must alwys be
fully pre-paid.
The Savannah Past Office is now doing more
business, perhaps, than many citizens are
aware. Upwards of 4,200 letters were re
ceived and handled in the Post Office yester
day. We learn that the post masters of all
prominent offices at the North received some
weeks since instructions to send a daily mail
to Savannah.
The market continues dull, but towards the close of
t ne week a little better digpositidii has prevailed on
the part of buyers. Prices, however, have remained
firm with but few exceptions. The Atlantic and Golf
Railroad is now' reedy to Bhlp all freight sent to them,
and this will have a better effect on the market.
The continued deline in the gold .market in New
Tork has caused much depression ill prices of sterling
.thia week, and the best bills would not command more
than 30 per cent, premium. We have to-day better
quotations from New York for gold, but have heard of
no transactions in foreign bills to establish an ad<
vaace.
Domestic Exchange is more abundant, and the hankii
get freely supplied with sight checks at Y % per cent,
discount, and one to ten days at X interest off.
Cotton*—The market lias been flat during the past
week, but at the close of business yesterday had a lit
tle better appearance. In the early part of the week
the tumbling of gold In New York forbid any transac
tions, but we hear of salps yesterday at the following
quotation**:
Ordinary Nominal.
Low Middling 'i;i @
Middling 34' @3i%
Strict Middling. 35 @35%
Good Middling t ,i.36 @
Sr a Island—The better grades of this description
only are in demand, with but few transactions to
note. . . ;■
The receipts since March 23 have been 7,128 bales
of Upland and 138 Sea Island. ' The exports during
the same period have been 7,958 bales Upland and 144
Sea Island, leaving on hand and on shipboard, not
cleared, a stock of 20,322 bales Upland, and 1,279 balea

MILITARY COMMISSION
For Alleged Cruelty to Federal Prisoners
at Andersonvill*.
THE RE\ r ENUE REPORT.
\\ e are pleased to see that the New York
commercial Advertiser takes the same view
of the Revenue Report submitted by Mr
Colville to Congress in the uame of the com
mission appointed by that body to revise our
scheme of Internal Taxation. The Adver
tiser pronounces the following opinion in
which we entirely concur with it :
This report is remarkable on account of the igno*
ranee it evinces of every economical law which governs
industry and commerce. It is really disgraceful to
the country that such a document should have eman
ated from men to whom the important subjects of
taxation and revenue. have been specially confided ;
and it forebodes abundant evil in the future, it such
men are to be the guides of our legislation, in regard
to the industrial and commercial interests of the
country.
That such a report should have emanated
from suci a source has excited our astonish
ment. Mr. Colville is the author of a work,
“The Ways and Means of Payment” that
has taken rank among standard publications.
It treats of kindled subjects to those treated
in the Report, and enunciates a body of the
soundest doctrine. What could have in
duced so wide a departure from principles
of acknowledged truth, it is imopgsib)*’’ to
imagine.
Mr. Colville in seeking to bolster up the
Manufacturing interest by legislation has
shown the utmost dislike, if not hatred, to
wards Foreign commerce and those who
conducts it. He thus speaks of the foreign
merchants of New York :
"The mischief of thug harboring a clan of men
whoso business it is to debauch or mislead our offl-
cers, to rob ns of revenue and injure our domestic in
dustry, IB 80 apparent that they should long ainoe
have found a remedy. Then foreign agents co-op-
crate constantly for the evasion of our revenue lawlT
They pay madequate taxes, they render no military
Bervice, they pay very little rent, their sympathies are
all on the other side, anil their buaineaa ia to nullifr
laws pertaining to our industry and commerce. There
is no redeeming benefit to reconcile us to their
presence and operations. If they realize fortunes
here, their money, instead of going to increase
capital or aid enterprise here, is carnd to Europe to
swell the volume of capital there, which is employed
in overwhelming our rising industry. No country
in the world is afflicted with such a multitude of com
mercial parasites/’
The following is the comment of the Com
mercial Advertiser on this illeberal para
graph :

The Commission met again yesterday morning at 10
o'clock. . :-u:>
The examination of Eugene Sleeper waa continued
by the counsel for the defence:
Q.—Was the grease you speak of the drippings of the
meat while it was cooling, or was tha meat pressed to
extract the grease?
A.—It was the drippings of the meat while cooling
Q.—Was there not an order (tom the commanding
officer of the prison to take from prisoners all articles
of provisous not purchased from tha prison sutlers?
and was not the flour you speak of taken by Duncan
in accordance with that order?
A.—I never saw such an order; it ssaa so said by
Duncan; I had heard of such an order, but whether It
was generally understood I cannot. say. Duncan's
conduct towards the prisoners waa always civil and
good while in my sight; I have 'known him to take
from the stockade three different men, qrie with the
scurvy and one with the 'diarrheas; he said end they
said that he took them outside because hi took pity on
them; they did nothing while out there to my kuow-
ledge^Did Dunc4n continue his kindness to those
three men after he had taken them oat? if so. state
particularly how. . a
A.—Nothing particularly, only giving them shelter;
one of them had his quarters at tha bakery, and two
of them at his house; they had tha asms rations that
the other man bad. or at least the one
at the bakery did ; I never heard Duncan
curse or abuse the prisoners or use insulting
lmguage towards them while I was employed St the
bakery. We did use a small quantity of the grease
dripping to grease the pans for baking. I cannot tell
by whose orders or how tha grease was sent off.
neqer saw any leave the bakery.
Q. You have testified that the ration of meat Issued
by the commissary to be cooked waa one-third of a
pound. Do you-know how much was issued sea
ration by Duncan after being cooked ?
• A. I cannot tell Exactly. If It waa beef It would
shrink perhaps one half; bacon, would not shrink so
much. I waa not in that business, so I could not
testify to the facta.
I have never seen or beard of any orders for the gov
ernment of the camp except those given by Duncan,
with the exception of a printed order posted on the
walls of the bakery; I don’t remember what it was, as
it did not affect me.
The examination of this witnsss being concluded
the Judge Advocate announced that he had at present
no more witnesses for the prosecution to introduce.
The summons sent to one important witness had been
misdirected, and had conseqnt&Uy notreached him
Ue therefore asked a suspension of the trial for a few
days. The request waa granted, and the commission
adjourned till thia morning, whan it will probably take
up some other case for the time being.
A Singular Confession Concerning the
Assassination Conspiracy.
A man named Sterling Sing, confined in jail ,t
Louisville, Ky. u a faw days ainoe ritoftmml that he
murdered President Lincoln in the Washington Thea
tre, and afterwards alone attempted the life of Secre
tary Seward. He says that Booth had nothing to do
with the assassination further than helping him to es
cape from Washington. At tha tints that he shot Mr.
Lincoln, Booth eras in tha rear of tbs theatre waiting
with horses. He says ha forced an entrance into Sec
retary Seward’s bona# and mads tha attack on him
with abowie knife. He aftorwatdsnasaped with Booth
to Canada and thence to Cuba. Heaaaertathat theob-
jeot of his return to thia country waa to effect the re
lease of Jeff Davis. He also dedans that Mrs. Sur
ratt had no knowledge of tha conspiracy to sssisiliniln
the Pressident, and that three pertlee engaged in the
plot have never been heard ot lifter making this con
fession, King attempted to commit suicide by opening
the veins of his left arm, and waa at latUacconnts ly
ing in a critical condition, tat Jeff <£ Davis, who
temporarily commands in tha dapaiteant at Louis
ville, has taken measures to bars tha- mktter investi
gated.
We put very little faith in King's story, bnt it is
difficult to imagine what motive he could have for
making such s statement.
