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. more law-abiding, non, more honorably fulfill their unties as citizens, than oar foreign mordants. pheu Girard.

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. LET. SAVANNAH MARI 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 Sea Island.

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 : More unjust and more unfounded accusations wcr. ?„ e /w br ? ug . htaga ' n8t “y*x»dy of men.

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.

They cams from Western North Carolina, and say they are going to be cause the land there is better than in their native State.
