Under this heading the New York World publishes a communication from the late Genftal Howell Coeb—perhaps the last words he ever wrote for the press—vindicating him self from a most foul and malicious slander concocted by that vile falsifier, miscreant and pimp. John W. Foknev. In Georgia the char acter of Howell Cobb needs no defence from charges of inhumanity and uncharitableness, such as those alleged by ike base creature ■who scruples at no villainy, no. falsehood, to 3-riifr the eharactejr of to blacken the reputation of a political oppo nent. But the refutation of the slander will be read with interesi, as being among the hist words of one whose noble attributes of character were so well known, whose private and public worth *t> sincerely appreciated, - and whose memory ^vill be long and warmly ( cherished bj J the Southern people. S t The infamnns slander against Mr. Cobb was put forth in the shape of a letter, pur porting to have been written by ’ one of the “Brigade of Death” which recently figured so conspicuously in the grand parade of the ■ “Boys in Blue” in Philadelphia, a pretended ' survivor of Andersonville. ‘Ivlins : course of this letter, with many, other statements equal ly as fidse and revolting, the writer gives the story of a ybung man by the name of Cabel, a native of Florida, who, at the time of the , breaking out of the war, was a cleric in one of rip; Departments in Washingtofi, and who volunteered in the Federal service; was after wards captured in Virginia B4rd sent'to the military prison at Andersonville. This young man was, of ,courpe, inqst.barbarously treated and rapidly sunk under his accumulated wrongs and privations. He was in a very low state of health and on. the verge of des pair when General Cobb visited the stqckade. The writer says: But when he learned that Howell Cobb was within the vicinity of the prison, and would soon visit the place, his hopes were high. “Only let -me see Mr. Cribb,” -he said; “I know that he will remember me, and get me exchanged or get me free.” As soon as it was known that Hr. Cobb was inside the stockade young Cabel, with my assistance, mustered i strength enough to appear before him. At first Hr. Cobb paid but little attention to him, bnt when he mentioned to Cobb of his (Cabel’s) brother being formerly a member of Congress from Florida, then it was that Howell Cobb proved the human demon. Again scrutinizing young Cabel, he said: ** Oh lyes, I know you, and know abont your brother you speak of; both of yon have proved felse to your Southern duties —you are both traitors to the South, and I - can only wish that yonr brother were here to share.your lot” Young Cabel seemed to stagger under these cruel remarks, and as Ml -Cobb was about to leave, young Cabel Appealed again to Cobb if he would not try to get him free; could he not, at least, do some thing to mitigate his sufferings—he showed Hr. Cobb his emaciated arms and body—the dreadfnl sores upon, his feet as they seemed ready to drop from' the ankles from rotten ness. At last Mr. Cobb said: -Cabel, I will do nothing for you unless you will renounce yonr allegiance to the United States Govern ment, and, as soon as yon are able, join the Confederate ranks—asyou are Southern bora, I deipaud tijis of you—os' trouble me no lon ger. ” As soon as Mr. Cobb had finished his hellish words, young Cabel truly stood up in the position of a soldier, and manly and bravely replied: “Mr. Cobb, this is asking too ' much of me, and' although if I comply with your Tequest I may be saved from a horrible death here, I feel that I cannot, for liberty and life, desert the flag I was bom under. and swore before God to defend. Oh 1-hb, Air.' Cobb, do riot ask so mnch of me. And let me ask you, Mr. Cobb, if you were a prisoner in'the Union lines, ‘and such propositions were offered you, what wioald you say if ”—but before Cabel could finish the sentence, Cpbb, in a pompous manner, said : “Whatwould I say? Why, if the United States Government, nnder such circi •*> vcti tea* enough to contain me and my family, an fore I would swear allegianbe to the Ui States Government I would take my by the hand and walk into the hole, buried from sight forever." These ni ' exact words, not only heard by myself but by many other poor creatures that were listen ing, and talked over in many.a gloomy circle. After-Mr. Cobb : hid - finished Mb supposed brave remarks, he turned' away to leave for another portion of the yard, and poor Cabel -went back to our little cave arid threw hiinself upon the ground, completely overwhelmed iri grief and despair ; spoke duly of the “cru elty of Mr. Cobb, how little he expected it,” etc. The harrowing stoiy goea on to relate bow, after one more attempt of the young num to crave the merciful interposition of ' General Cobb, when he wastrathlegsly thrust asijde by one of the guard; ho crawled to his cave and died—“by 9 o’clock the next morning the oily thing of that dear young boy was thrown into the dead-cart"* The. following is Gen. Cobb’^ letter: New Yohk, October 3, 1868. do Vie Editor of the World: . A friend has just placed in my hands what purports to be a speech of Mr. John W. For ney, of Philadelphia, arid I ask a place in yonr columns to notice a statement made in reference to myself which I cannot permit to pass uncontradicted. Mr- Forney read as a part of his speech, and gave to the country with his indorsement the following letter, as I find it in his published remarks: [Here follows, the. /prged letter in full, signed “T. E. Davis; late 48th Begt N. Y. S. Volunteers ] { . ■ ; ■ Gen. Cobb continues: I desire, in the most emphatic and uncon ditional manner, to pronounce the statements of this letter, so tar 'as they refer to myself , an unmitigated fabrication from begimring to the end. There is not the aligbfrfct pretext upon whichit can rtet Neither to this Mr. Cabel, nor any other prisoner at Anderson- ville or elsewhere, did I ever use the language imputed to me, or anything at all resembling it No one who knows me will credit the >t my nature or inch less a so cruel and >y knows me, and ‘ " ed this letter its were not, could not be true.'' I make this unequivo cal denial to protect my name in the esti mation of thosewhopafiBEeMr. Forney, do not know me. "Whatever else may be* said 7 ‘' * __ can in no instance be charged against me. "On the contrary, I can say with truth that during the war no prisoner ever made a re quest of me, which it was in my power to grant, that was not promptly responded to, and there are those in Mr. Forney’s own State who will bear testimony to the fact Allow me to add that the statements in this letter bear internal evidence of their falsity. Mr. Cabel, the former member of Congress, whom I am made to denounce as a traitor, Ac., was my personal friend, and was with the South during the whole war, and in the Con federate army at its dose. If he ever had a brother in the Federal army I never heard of it The Andersonville prison was never in my command nor under my control, but the guard employed there was detailed from my troops, and this occasioned the three visits I maria m it. On one of these visits I received a message from a prisoner by the name of Cabel, from Ohio, that he desired to see me. X applied to the commandant of the prison to have him " brought out of the prison to the quarters I was occupying for the day. The request was promptly complied with, and I had an interview with Mr. Cabel, who was quite an intelligent man, which lasted for an hour or two. The interview was as pleasant as could be. There was not an offensive word said on either side, and at the close of it Mr. Cabel expressed to me his thanks for the manner in which. I received and treated him The only request made of me that I had the power to grant was promptly granted, and he appreciated it, as he did my whole. conduct and bearing towards him in ’the spirit of kindness which dictated it. I have no wish to extend this communication by any comments. Howell Cobb. P. S.—Since writing the above, I have cas ually met with Mr. Cabel, formerly of Flor ida, who expressed the greatest surprise arid indignation at the statements in this letter, and authorizes me to say that lie had no brother or other near relative in the Federal array that he knows at THE IMPORTANT STATE ELECTIONS TO-BIORROW. The elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, which take place to-morrow, are looked to with great interest, as it is generally conceded that the vote of these great States will indicate the result of the Presidential election on the first Tuesday in next month. If the Democracy, in despite the extraordi nary efforts of the Badicals, should succeed in carrying the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio on Tuesday by respectable major ities, it would give the former a prestige of success which would not only secure the electoral votes of Uiese States for Seymour and Blair in November, bat wonid be felt throughout the entire North and West, giving confidence to the party of the Constitution, and filling their opponents with despair. From all accounts, never since the forma tion of the government was a canvass more vigorously arid resolutely contested than that now drawing to a close in the States 'which we have named. The Radicals at first confided in the prestage of their candidate, in. the unreasoning passion and prejudices of the masses, in* the nnscrupulonsness of their leaders, and in the potency of mis representation and falsehood, are daily be coming alarmed, distrustful and apprehen sive of defeat, while the Democracy, strong in the panoply of trnth by exposing the corrupt misrule and falsehoods of the Jaco bins, who have brought the country through war and sectional discord to the verge of an arehy and bankruptcy, are arousing the latent patriotism of the people, who in alarm for their liberties, are rallying to the rescue of the Union and the Constitution. The accounts which reach us from reliable sources are most encouraging, leaving ns little reason to donbt that the snn of to-morrow will go down upon the triumph and the rejoicing of the Democratic hosts, in assured hope of the nation’s redemption. So mote it be. THE PRESERVATION OF THE PUBLIC PEACE. In another column we publish the Procla mation of Mr. Bullock, with the accompa nying order of General Meade, haying reference to the approaching Presidential election. While every good citizen must approve the adoption of measures having for their object the preservation of the public peace, and the protection of the people in the exercise of their political rights, few will read the Bullock’s manifesto without a sense of humiliation arid disgust, that the assumed Executive dignity should be so far sunk in the partizan—that such a document should be made the medium of an unjust-reflection upon the white people of the State. Gen. Meade’s order is well timed and pro per, if we except the declaration that the military, in the discharge of their duty in a State governed by civil law, “will not be re strained by the technicalities of the laws. We sincerely trust that Gen. Meade will have no occasion to override the civil law, whi)e we feel assured that in “the conscien- cions discharge of his duty” he will have the hearty cooperation not only of the civil au thorities, but of every law-abiding citizen. “ Let us have peace.” ^Special Telegraph to the Press.) Oie of * Forney’s many ' Falsehoods— “Pennsylvania the Real Battle Ground. “Washington, October 4.—General Frank P. Blair, while here the other day, gave it as his opinion that Pennsylvania was the real battle-ground of the present campaign, and donbted the success of the Democratic ticket there next next week. ” ■ We have, says, the JNational Intelligencer, General Blair’s own words of assurance for the success of the Democatic ticket in Penn sylvania. He expressed to all Lis friends who called on trim in this city his undoubted confidence that Pennsylvania’s vote would be decisive in favor of the Democracy, and he was equally hopeful of the vote of Ohio arid Indiana'.' The West All Right. A private letter from one of the most intel ligent, careful, and bestinformed observers in the West to a gentleman in ^Washington city contains the following : Vallandigham’a election is more than ~ tie. Ashley’s - defeat is certain ; also iingham’s. We shall,, at least, have our kare of Congressmen. “Indiana is considered certain. , “All looks bright in the West” ■ — MX . Connecticut.—Governor English was in Washington on Thursday, and called upon the President. He says the vote in Connec ticut on Monday last, as understood iri that State, is favorable to the Democrats, and that Connecticut will certainly give a large ma jority for Seymour arid Blair. The Albany News of the 6th contradicts the story of the Atlanta New Era, that a negro by the name of Walker and another were killed near Albany a few days ago. The News says: “ Since the Camilla affair there has been no act of' violence whatever ' committed in this place or anywhere around here.”’ ►«♦. « Retrenchment.—In accordance with the report of a special agent of the Treasury De partment, says a Washington dispatch, furth er heavy reductions will be made in the ex pense of collecting the customs by dispensing with unnecessary officers. 7. —— load Liverpool and'.

The Camilla Riot Report.—A Washington special of the 8th, in the Baltimore Sim, says: The report of General Meade, including that of Captain Mills, relative to the Camilla riot, was this afternoon submitted to the President and will be given to the public to-morrow, by the Secretary of War.' The report of Capt Milk and accompanying affidavits, substan tially corroborate the statements of the affair heretofore given in these dispatches There were nine colored persons killed and twenty- five wounded, and six white persons wounded. General Meade says the excitement in Georgia has passed off with the riot, and no call having been made on him, fhe Legislature, as ha thinks, properly declining the request of the Governor, to authorize him to make the call, no troops were sent to aid the Executive. The Porte and Foreign War Vessels. From a letter received in Baltimore from Con stantinople, dated the l'3th September, we learn that the Porte had just decided that hereafter no vessels of war will be allowed to come up through the Dardanelles to the city except those having sovereigns or presidents on board. The letter also states that a Mr. Rhodochanaki had just arrived at the Greek Island of Syra, from the United States, with arms for Cretan insurgents. The Pope a Mason:—The Pope having been lately making war on the Masons, these last have taken a cruel revenge. They publish the minutes of a Lodge in Sicily, containing the initiation of F. Jean Maatei Ferratti, bet ter known at present as Pins IX. This docu ment is accompanied with a photograph, rep resenting the snccessor of the Apostles robed in Masonic insignia. ' ' r Carpet-Bag Government.—Of seven Gov ernors in as many “ reconstructed ” Southern States, only two have resided South more than three years. Of ten United States Sen ators elected in five Southern States, eight are recent immigrants. Of thirty-three Rep resentatives elect to Congress from sev Southern States, twenty-two are recent immi grants. About Cuba.—A Washington despatch says the published statements that, owing to the revolution in Spain, this government is in teresting itself about the purchase of Cuba, are altogether untrue. The subject has not been mentioned in the cabinet, nor has the Secretary of State expressed any views upon it. Mr. Prentice, in a card in the Louisville Journal, of Thursday, denies that he is either poor, or broken down physically, or that he has been dismissed from that office. He .in tends (D. V.) “to live and work out the cen tury.” _ A Naval Battle in Hayti—Success op the Government.—The following letter has been received at New York, dated on board the Haytien corvette Alexander Petion, at Port- au-Prince, September 20, 1868: “ The Alexander Petion had an engage ment to-day at Petit Gouva with the batte ries and the corvettes Sylvian and Iaberte. The Liberte was set on fire and blown up. The Sylvian was taken as a prize, but sunk before she was got into shallow water, and many of the crew drowned; also, two of the prize crew and a Haytien general. The en gagement was kept up for some time after the disaster to the corvette. Two of the prison ers were killed on board the Petion by a shell. After the Petion ceased firing and hauled off, the troops on shore stormed and took the place. Trie engagement lasted five hours. President Salnave was on board. The enemy fired pretty well, but fortunately did little damage. The next place to be taken will probably be St. Marks.” Pastoral Letter.—A pastoral letter from Archbishop Spalding has just been publish ed, in which we find the following paragraph: “In their pastoral letter to the faithful, the Fathers of the Council admonish them to ab stain in future from certain fashionable dances, commonly called waltzes, round or German dances. Trie more effectually to car ry out this warning, and to remove all pre text for viewing such dances as harmless, we have strictly enjoined that they be neither taught, nor even practiced for recreation among those of the some sex, in any of our colleges, academies or schools, whether con ducted by Catholics or placed under Catholic auspices.” The Election in Delaware.—On Tuesday last the election for Inspectors took place in Delaware. We are indebted to the Wilming ton Gazette for an extra containing the result in that city and New Castle comity. The Republican majority in Wilmington is only nine votes, which is a Democratic gain of 305 since the Mayor’s election last month. New Castle county gives a Democratic majority of 612—a gain of 401 since the vote of 1866. In Wilmington the Demoeratselect-n majority of the Inspectors, and in the county have twelve out of seventeen. The Gazette says the vote polled was unusually large.—Balti more Sun. . Riot in Peitsbubg, Pa.—4 serious riot oc curred about nine o’clock last night in Pitts burg. (The above is furnished by a"Radical, agent of the Associated Press.) A Republi can torchlight procession, passing along” Wylie street, when near the tunnel werri as sailed by a mob. A severe fight ensued: Stones ond other missiles flew in every direc tion, and clubs were freely used. Abont forty shots were fired. Several persons were wounded in the bock of the neck, a man named McCann seriously. Mayor Blackmore, in endeavoring to suppress the riot, was slightly wounded in the arm. > . » « t . Unitarian National Convention.—The Na tional Unitarian Convention met in New York fetes, including many ladies,, wl allowed to vote upon all questions coining np. Hon. T. D. Eliot, of New Bedford, Massa* chusetts, presided. He made the opening address, extending to all associations of the Unitarian faith a hearty welcome, and solicit ing their co-operation in all measures looking to the promotion of their organization. A Supected Rape Case.—An official per sonage, Dr. Jacob Dungan, now holding quite a prominent position in the naval ser vice, and stationed at Gosport navy-yard, was before His Honor, Mayor Stokes, yester day morning, charged with having committed a rape upon the person of Sarah Elizabeth Jackson, a young white girl, fourteen years of age, hailing from Hampton, Ya.—Norfolk Journal.

Savannah Gas-Light Company, I Savannah, June 4,1868. ) The Savannah Gas Light Company, wishing to sup ply Gas to its patrons on as cheap terms as may be consistent with a fair return for the capital and labor applied in its manufacture, and believing that the ac tive business which may be reasonably expected du ring the coming winter in this city, will cause an in creased demand ; and further, that a diminution in price will induce many to burn Gas that have hitherto had recourse to other means of illumination, which are more dangerous and less cleanly and convenient; and that the consequent increase will lessen the cost o manufacture, and thus justify the Company in making a reduction in price. Therefore, it has been determined, that from and after the FIRST OF.
