efforts by dragging the river and firing can

Havannah Georgian and Journal.
The Savannah Georgian—which for two or
three weeks had been suspended on account
of litigation betweeen the late proprietors and
Mr. Punch, from whom they purchased it—
has been united with the Journal, and the
consolidated papor is called the ‘•Savannah
Georgian and Journal,” It. It. Hilton, editor,
and I. S. Clark and S. P. Hnmiiton, assistants.
Mr. Hamilton has heretofore been connected
wdh the Georgian. The Journal, under Mr.
Hilton’s sole management, has been a very
able, interesting and enterprising shoot, and
we anticipate an improvement now that he
has valuable aid.
The American Tract Society.
As was anticipated, thequestion of convert
ing this National Society into an abolition
electioneering institution was brought up on
thefirstday of its anniversary mooting in New
York, the 7th inst.; but it was introduced and
disparedof in such a way as to afford little com
fort tothcßeeclierites. The Executive Commit
toe, in their report, alluded to the charges
brought against them by the abolitionists, de
nied having pursued any other course than that
dictated by the plain injunction of the consti
tution the society, and asked for the appoint
ment of a committee to examino and report
upon the charges. A resolution to this effect
was introduced, and though it was opposed
by the abolition ministers and other members,
with their usual duplicity and chicanery, it was
finally passed. Four vancancies in the Board
were filled by conservative men, two from the
North and two from the South, viz : llou. It.
L. Caruthcrs, of Tenn.; ltov. John C. Young,
of Ky.; Rev. E. Lathrop, of N. Y.; Rev. Mr.
Huttons, of N. Y. To show the extent of the
operations of this Society, wo copy the fol
lowing from tho Treasurer’s report:

The new “Bank of Commerce,” of .Savan
nah, was organized on Saturday last by the
election of a Board of Directors, by whom G.
B. Lamar was chosen President, and John (’,
Ferrill Cashier. The Georgian & Journal says

$300,000 paid in.
Great Trotting Matoh.
A great trotting match came off on Long
Island Course, New York, on Tuesday the Cth
inst., between Lantern and Bug, mile heats,
in harness, for a stake of SIO,OOO, and was

very lame when he made his appearance on
the track, and the betting was against him.—
Tho track was in capital condition, and every
thing favorable. Lantern won tho first, third
and fourth heats, the second being declared a
dead heat by the judges.

The Homicide by Hon. P. T. Herbert.
We fiud the following particulars of tho af
fray, in the Washington Organ, of the Bth in
stant :
A member of the House who was present
during the affray, informs us that Mr. Her
>ert made some complaint to oue of tho waiters
it breakfast, upon which he replied in dis
ospectful language, whereupon Mr. Herbert
struck him. The waiter then threw a plato at
•lr Herbert, and the other waiters rushed to
ie assistance of their comrade, seizing upon
i nrs and other moveables as weapons,
dr. Herbert than drew his revolver, and
ed twice; the first time the ball grazed the
.■st of Patr.ck Keating, the Stewart, and
•ther ot the deceased; the second ball en
red the heart of Thos. Keating, who expired
, i few minutes
The examination Mr. Herbert, who is now
at the station house, surrounded by his friends,
ias beeu postponed till four o'clock this after
noon.
The affair caused much excitement among
the friends of tho deceased, and it is difficult
to ascertain the truth of all the reports in cir
culation. We derived our report from a gen
tleman of the highest character, and we rely
upon its correctness.
A dispatch to the Augusta Constitutionalist,
dated the 10th, says the llou. Philip T. Her
bert has been committed to jail for the homi
cide on the waiter at Willard’s Hotel. Bail
was refused. Henry Dubois, the new Neth
erlands’ Minister, who was present at the af
fray, declined giving testimony in the cose.
The Treaty of Peace.
We copy from an English paper an epit
omized version of the Treaty of Peace conclu
ded in Europe, with the exception of four ar
ticles, which, for some unexplained reason,
are not furnished. The reader can hardly
fail to come to the conclusion that Russia has
gotten the best of the bargain. One of the
London papers (the Sun) is so deeply impress
ed with this conviction, that it published this
version of the treaty enclosed in a mourning
border. With the exception of the slight
“rectification” of her boundnry line along the
lower Danube, Russia in reality makes no
concessions. She consents to the abrogation of
her war navy in the Black Sea, but a similar
restriction is also imposed upon Turkey, and
thus Russia will have no use l'or a navy there,
for only she and Turkey have ever had vessels
of war in these waters, or can have in the fu
ture. The Russian war vessels there were al
ways isolated and confined to the Black Sea,
for they could not pass the Bosphorus and
get out into the Mediterranean, and thus they
served only to check and overawe the Turk
ish Beet, which possessed the right of ingress
and egress to tho Mediterranean at pleasure—
nrightnow wrested from Turkey, sojfar as in
gress to the Black Sea is involved.
By those articles of peace, Turkey, and not
Russia, is evidently treated as the conquered
power. While the restrictions imposed upon
Russia are extended also to Turkey, and in
fact thereby deprived of any restrictive opera
tion whatever, Turkey is made to cede away
the right of sovereignty over a large portion
of her possessions—for, despite tho assertion of
the 9th article, that the contracting powers
“divest themselves of all right to interfere in
the internal administration of the government
of the Ottoman Empire,” they acquire that
right by this treaty, and will be held by Rus
sia to the exercise of it. All that Russia re
quired Turkey to grant and observe in refer
ence to the Principalities—the very object for
which she made war upon the Porte—is grant
ed and secured to Russia by this treaty. The
Christian subjects of Turkey in the Principal
ities arc “guaranteed freedom of religion and
commerce”-—they are placed on a political and
religious “equality” with the Turks; nay, the
Turkish Government is forbidden to interfere
by arms to suppress rebellion and insurrection
even among them ! It may shoot down or
“bow-string” Turks at pleasure, but if the
Christians in the Principalities rebel or riot,
1 urkoy cannot resort to armed interposition
without first obtaining the consent of Russia
and tho other powers! Is it not, then, a
mockery to talk about tho powers not inter
fering “in the internal administration of the
Ottoman Government?” Is it not stupend
ous and egregious foolery to pretend that Tur
key remains an independent State? Nine ar
ticles of the treaty are devoted to restrictions
upon Turkey alone', while those intended to
curb Russia arc made to operate also, and
with even greater force, upon Turkey!—
The “sick man’s” pulse boats faint and feeble,
and the parchment on which this treaty is in
scribed is his winding-sheet, prepared in antici
pation of his speedy dissolution.
The evacuating articles ofthe treaty are sig
nificant and full of meaning. The territories
of Russia are to be evacuated by the Allies
“as soon as possible ”; those of Turkey, “as
soon as convenient ” !
No little curiosity will be felt to learn the
provisions of tho four articles as yet kept
dark, as well as the terms of the “secret
treaty,” about the Aland Isles.
A party of Kentuckians have laid out anew
town in Kansas, called Prairie City. It is
farther in the interior than most of tho settle

ot very fertile land. About one hundred fam
ilies will go out to settle it about the first of
Jime.

Injuries to the Tennessee .Railroads.
The rains in Tennessee have been so great
as to cause considerable damage to property,
as appears from the following statement of dis
asters to railroad bridges, &.C., which we copy
from the Chattanooga Gazette of Saturday:
The cut at Wallace’s, between Murfrees
boro’ and Nashville, caved in, and a bridge
near Bellebucklo was considerably injured, and
one between Hellebuckle and Wartrace wa9
washed entirely away; also two bridges be
tween Wartrace and Shelby ville. About two
hundred feet of the track at Hellebuckle was
washed away. The arch Culvert near Nor
mandy, with a large portion of the embank
meut, is gone. There is an entire suspension
of travel for the present.
We learn also that a bridge near Ander
son's, on this sido of the mountain, is washed
entirely away, and a heavy engine is in the
creek—having fallen over on Tuesday night.
On the side of Racoon mountain, an em
bankment has caved in, doing very great dam
age to the road.
On the East Tennessee & Georgia Railroad,
oast of Loudou, about three miles of continu
ous embankment has fallen in upon the track.
We have had no mails at this place, except
on the Western & Atlanticroad, since Monday
night. The through mails sent up on that
road are here piled up in the post office with
no way of getting them off. Our Post Master
will take c, re of them, of course.
‘The McDonough Estate.
A communication has been laid before the
Baltimore City Council, from the agents of the
McDonough estate, which shows that the liti
gations ami deteriorations have decreased the
value of the property fully one half of what
was its value at the death of tin testator. At
that time the estate was valued at $5,000,000,
and now only at $2,270,000. One of the
agents, on the part of N. ( Orleans, at a meeting
of the Board, stated that over $260,000 had
been spent in litigation; over SIOO,OOO had
been reported in charges and commissions:
over sooo,ooo had beeu lost in interest and
delays , and over $600,000 had been lost in
pillage and decay. Notwithstanding all this,
not one dollar of charity had ever yet been re
ceived from the estate ; not one negro had been
sent to Liberia, nor the tears and sorrows of
one poor orphan boy ever been assuaged. At
every point, and in every way, the last will
and testament of John McDonough had been
frustrated and thwarted.

An Editor’s East Trick.
Tho French journal Figaro having lately in
curred tho displeasure of the government for
various articles it had published,seeing itself on
the brink of ruin, its editor took it into his
head to address a petition to the Imperial
Frince, now about four weeks old. The pe
tition was printed in the paper, which was
then enclosed in an envelope and addressed,
*• To his Highness the Prince Imperial, at the Pal
ace of the Tuilleries.” In a corner of the letter
was written “personal.” The package came
into the hands of the Count Taseher do la Pa
gerie, who carried it to the Emperor. His
Majesty took the buudle, read the superscrip
tion, laughed whenhe saw the word “personal,”
and then stopped. The Empress was consulted
and it was agreed between them that as it would
be rather long to wait till the Prince had attained
sufficient age to know what did or did not per
sonally concern him, they might, as legal guar
dians, safely venture to break the seal. It is
said that thanks to this lucky thought of the
editor of Figaro, the government lias abandon
ed the suit against him, and that his paper is
now in a fair way of increasing its subscription
list.

That‘‘Writ of Houster,” and the Planters’
and Mechanics’ Bank.
After the paragraph in our last issue on
“Our Banks” was iu type, we learned that a
portion of the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank
bills had been attached when they were present
ed at the counter for redemption. On inquiry in
to the facts, we did not deem it necessary to
make any public explanation then in relation
to the transaction, nor to withhold what we
bad already written about “Our Banks.”—
The Atlanta Intelligencer having called the
attention of the public to the matter, with
some rhetorical display, and a free use of the
correspondence between the parties, it will be
expected of us, as a faithful public journalist,
that we will give the facts as far as they are
known to exist here.
It appears that during the “Wild Cat” ope
rations of the Bank, Messrs. David Preston &
Cos., Agents for the Bank at Chicago, 111.,
placed in the hands of Mr. Glenn F. Lewis, of
Cleveland, 0., a large amount of the bills of
the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Dalton,
for circulation, and took his (Lewis’) “prom
ise to pay &c.” for the same. Very recently
the Agency of Preston & Cos. was discontin
ued with the view of withdrawing the Western
circulation of the Bank, and concentrating its
entire resources at home. It was upon these
indications that we noticed the Bank last week,
as showing a disposition to “domesticate” it
self, and reduce its operations to a legitimate
“home business.”
At the time the Chicago Agency was dis
continued, Preston & Cos. alleded that Lewis
still held the bills which they had furnished
him with for circulation, and that they ex
pected and desired that Lewis would return
them to Preston & Cos., and cancel his obli
gation. This, Lewis did not chose to do,
deeming it, no doubt, a better financial ope
ration to send the bills round to Dalton, and
convert them into specie to operate upon, un
til Preston & Cos. could sue the money, (if
they can,) out of him at home. About $2,000
of the bills of the Bank have now been attach
ed by Preston & Cos., of the identical bills
held by Lewis, and they propose to show that
the money is still Lewis’, and as such, subject
to attachment for his debts. If the facts al
leged by Preston & Cos. are true, we do not
see that any injustice is clone Mr. Wright,
or any other “fiduciary” agent connected with
the transaction, unless they became parties
to, and are interested in this act of bad faith,
on the part of Lewis, towards Preston & Cos.
Asa stroke of financial policy, we think it
a bad one for the Bank, if it had any control
over Preston & Cos. in the matter. If it bad
none, then it i9 wrong that the Bank should
be held responsible for it. There can be no
question as to the ability of the Bank to re
deem those bills, if Preston & Co.’s “writs of
rouster,” as our Atlanta cotemporary face
tiously styles them, had not been interposed.
James Morris, a man of large means and well
known in this country, is still at the head of
the Bank as President, and while such men
preside over it, we shall hold it as sound, un
til other evidence than that furnished to the
Intelligencer by Mr. Wright, is presented.
The excitement has created a temporary run
on the Bank, but the effect will be, instead of
proving its “ rottenness,” as charged by the
Intelligencer, it will show its capacity to meet
such sudden tests of its solvency. We can as
sure holders of Planters’ & .Mechanics’ money
that there is no cause of alarm. The Bank is
in a condition to redeem all its outstanding
issues ; and as an evidence of its perfect con
fidence iu its ability to do so, it has continued
its usual discounts as before the excitement
was gotten up.
We would assure, too, our sprightly cotem
porary of the Columbus Sun, that the “little
mice about Dalton will observe due caution
in approaching within range ofthe “feline
monster.” With an occasional ray of light
from the little Sun at Columbus, they will be
enabled to detect any “meal tub tricks” that
“puss” may attempt. But our friend of the
Sun must not grow Wolfish on the “wild cat”
species of the leline tribe, when they promise
to become useful domestic animals. Especially
we would invoke our friend De Wolf not to
come the Latin on them, at least, until they
shall have given further provocation.
OBITUARY.
Departed this life on the 9th inst. at tho residence of
her Father-in-law, Columbus, Ga., Mrs. Anne G., wife of
M ™, Jame ® J - aged twenty years and nino months.
The subject of this uotieo had for many months beeu
in feeble health, having given birth to a little daughter,
she lived through great weakness for the space of four
months, and died very soon after her friends had receiv
ed encouragement that she would recover. But she left
this testimony, that she was resigned to His will who
rules in Heaven and on earth; that she knew Jesus and
put nil her confidence in Him. Her motto in her inter
course through life was to be in peace with all. In con
versations with more than one dear friend, she spoke
of having made a profession of faith; said she thought
it washer duty to connect herself with the church, and
at a proper time Bhe should follow Him in baptism. Her
constant and unremitted private devotions are particu
larly remembered by her sorrowing husband, who also
noticed that the Psalms were her favorite portions of
scripture.
So pass the lovely things of this earth, as fleeting as a
summer’s cloud. Asa breath of the morning, so do the
excellent and beautitul leave us in the sultry plain be
low, while on soft pinions of a Savior’s love, the gentle
spirit lured to Heaven, its happy home, rests in the pres
ence of its blessed God. 01 it were vain to talk of hu
man love aud human woe; tho earth is full of both.—
It is useless to writo of the bereaved—words are too weak
to paint the yearnings of the smitten heart, for God alone
can bind up aud mollify its lacerated cords aud apply
the healing balm.
