Brevities.—The propositions to build up the open ground on the North side of Bay ■treet are variously received by* citizens. Any attempt to push the project win meet with strenuous opposition.—Wednesday last, the 25th inst., was the eighty-fifth anniversa ry of the final evacuation of this country by the British, at tho close of the “great rebel lion, in 1783; when “let ns have peace’* .was bom.

If Mr. Lieut. Hoag had been around he would have seen pistols in the hands of all white men and none on the negro. Strange how differently people see things.—Everybody should subscribe to the Morning News, and not borrow it from their neighbors. _ ■ i I ' %! Stolen (loons Recovered.—A day or two ago policeman Davis saw three negro boys, each of whom was carrying a piece of calico. He started to catch them, but the young thieves discovered him, dropped the goods and took to their heels. Not being able to ■itch the boys, the policeman gathered np aud secured the calico.

Nicholls, the Demo- cratie Presidential Elector from this District, HcSsm * dty aad is Bt0 PP in 8 »t the Screven St. Andrew's Dav.—To-day is the day de voted to the honoring of the memory of St. Andrew, the Saint of the Gaul. Every sohool-boy knows that St. Andrew is the pat ron saint of Scotland; aud the Scots all over the world never fail to show their loyalty to their native land and St. Andrew, by assemb- . together to keep the 30th of November, or St. Andrew’s Day. Among the Scots and then’ descendants in Savannah, the St. Andrew’s Society has flour ished for forty-nine years, this being the an niversary of its formation. It now numbers some forty members, with the following offi cers: President—John Cunningham. F,rst Vice President—Bobert Lachlison. • Second Vice President—William Rogers. Secretary and Treasurer McGill. Stewards—Alexander Irviug and James M. Selkirk The members of the Society and their in vited guests will assemble in the Society’s Hall, over Hillsman’s drug store, this even ing, to celebrate the memory of the Saint, and to partake of the anniversary dinner. The officers of the Hibernian and Irish Union Societies, and many prominent citi zens, have been invited to lie present and participate in the festivities of the occasion. Sailing of Steamships.—The steamship General Barnes, Capt. Morton, sailed for New York on Saturday with a full cargo, consisting iu part of 1,443 bales of upland cotton and 13 bales of Sea Island: The San Salvador, Capt Nickerson, also sailed for New York the same day, very heavi ly loaded. She carried 738 bales of upland cotton and 67 bales of Sea Island, iu addition to a large freight of other mercdiandise. The Tonawanda, Capt. Jennings, also sailed for Philadelphia on Saturday with an exteu- sivi freight, included among which were 217 bales of upland cotton. The Montgomery, Capt. Lyon, sailed for New York yesterday, deeply laden. In addi tion to her other freight she carried 1,482 bales of upland cotton. The total shipments of cotton to Northern arts, daring Saturday and Sunday, were 880 bales of upland, and 70 hales of Sea Island: Careless Driving.—On Friday evening last a negro boy in the employ of Dr. Elliott kill-, ed a fine horse for him. The fellow had been told to lead the animal; but, instead of so doing, jumped upon his back, and by care lessness in riding, run tbe horse against a tree on South Broad street, aud so. injured the animal that it died in a few minutes. A policeman who witnessed the aflhir arrested the boy, and he was properly punished by the Mayor. A determined effort, we are glad to learn, will be made to break up the system of care less and rapid driving through the streets, by negroes. One driver was arrested, on Whita keT street, on Saturday evening, and others will be jerked when guilty of the same of- fence. We hope that the dangerous practice will be broken up, Heavy Shifment of Cotton for Liverpool —The Largest Cargo Ever Sent Out.—On Saturday last, Messrs. Brigham, Holst 4 Co., cleared the American ship Emerald Isle, 1,696 tons, Captain Thomas R. Herbert, for Liver pool, with a cargo consisting of 4,899 . bales of upland cotton, weighing 2,315,988 pounds, valued at §639,045 81, and 11 bags of sea island, weighing 3,152 pounds, valued at §3,864; total number of bale3 and bags, 4,910; total weight, 2,319,140 pounds; total value, §541,409 81. i , Tbe-Emerald isle is the largest vessel that ever came up to our wharves, and, so far as we c"! 1 learn, she has taken out the largest cargo of cotton ever shipped from this port. Her cargo was stowed-oway byJ. K. Reilly & Bro., stevedores. - Foot Races.—We understand that the sports of Thanksgiving Day so stirred up : the physical energies of our yonng men that they are taking quite an interest in foot lacing Quite a spinted contest took place on Bu street on Saturday night, in which a famous nznQ6T gave Iub competitors the sidewalk, and took the sandy street himself and bent them The same yonng gentleman is to.run a race with another in the Park this morning, at eight o’clock. Distance one hundred yards; for a sum of money. The same young gentleman is to run against a - horse on the Thunderbolt track next month, for adistance of one-hundred yards; he to be allowed twen ty-five yards start. Are We to'Hzve z City Railroad I Editors itominy Sews: Every day or two •the papers of this city contain an item iu ref- enco tq the work being done at Vie othir end of the Savannah, Skidawayand Seaboard Rail road. Many readers who have not only the inter ests of the road at heart but that of the city also, would like to read something that will give them an idea of what work is being done at this end, or what plans have been adopted by the Directors of the road for carrying ont Council, July 22d,.1868, granting the Savan nah, Skidnway and Seaboard TbGirbnd the right to construct a railroad’ “through West Broad, Jones, ah'd Liberty, to Bay, throhgh Bay to East Broad, through East Broad to jjaston, and through Whitaker,-from Bay, to 'Anderson, and through Drayton, from Bay, to Anderson. ’’ Would it not be policy for the Company to stop work at the other end a little while, or employ a larger force, and at once construct a railroad down Whitaker or Drayton street, (tho latter is preferable, as the track could be laid upon it much more rapidly and cheaply than upon the other, because of its being un paved. ) If a road was constructed at once it would be of great convenience to the citizens, aud the receipts therefrom would not only pay for the work done, but also assist- in sup plying the funds necessary for carrying on the work at the other end. Pedestrian. United States. Courts, Hon. John Erskinr, Judge, Presiding. United States Circuit Court.—'The. United States Circuit Court met on Saturday morn ing, but transacted no bnsiness of public in terest. United Stales District Court—The Judge went through the docket of this Court, on Saturday morning, and cleared it of many old chronic-cases which have been before the Court for years, by dismissing the same. A case against Beer Goldman and others, for circulating counterfeit 50 cent fractional currency, was discontinued; one ortwo old suits against Postmasters and their sureties, were dismissed, and several whiskey seizure cases were continued until the next term. Purse 4 Son, and Oscar C. Ferris, of Sa- vaunali, received final discharges in bank ruptcy. The Court adjourned until 10 o’clock this morning. v Court or Examination—The Case of Thos. Morgan.—The Court, of Examination in tho case of the State vs. Thomas Morgan, charged with the murder of John Rossiter, resumed its sittings on Saturday morning at ten o’clock. The evidence for the State and the defence having all been heard, Hon. Julian Hartridge arose and commenced his argument in behalf of the defendant, Morgan. It was one of the best efforts of that eminent lawyer. For over two hours he addressed the Court upon the points in the case, sifting the evidence, bring ing forward everything it contained-favorable to his client, and presenting the. case to the Court in a clear, forcible and eloquent light, as one in which no joiy could ever find the prisoner guilty of mnrder, and that, there- ’ore, the Bench of Examining Magistrates should not send the prisoner to a higher Conrt, to .be tried for that offence. R. Wayne Russell, Acting Solicitor-General, replied on behalf of the State, urging that the Conrt should, in'justice, commit the prisoner for murder. It was a very excellent effort for a yonng lawyer, and was jnstly praised by many who heard it. Justices Rossell and Connell occupied some time in deliberating upon the case, and the decision of the Court was then an nounced by Jnstice Russell. He said that the Court had carefully examined the evi dence, and had given the case earnest con sideration.. The Magistrates'were there, not to try the prisoner and decide upon his guilt or innocence; but to ascertain whether a crime had been committed; and if so, then by whom, and to determine its nature. In this case the offence was committed in a sud den heat of passion, and the Court could not justly turn the prisoner over for murder. It was therefore ordered that he be tamed over to the* next January term of the Superior Court for trial, on a charge of voluntary man slaughter, and that he he held to bail for his appearance at that time, in the sum of five thonsand dollars; the prison er in two thonsand, five hundred dollars, and good real estate' security for a similar amount. Morgan gave the required bond shortly af terwards and was released. - Mr. John Mc Mahon signed his bond. ^Pr._FRjgj^43jON of a Boat to Cafj. Perry.— On Saturday afternoon last a number of the friends of Capt. Perry, of tfie ship Star of the West, assembled on boaTd his vessel for the purpose of presenting him .with a mark of es teem, in the shape of a ’beautiful race boat, the one built by Talbird for the Viotoria Club. The presentation wsb made hy.Dr. R. D. Arnold, who said that he could hardly say enough in honor of the man for whom the fiit f Day.—To-morrow, in accordance with a time-honored law, being the first Tuesday in the month, is' the legal sale day, when property in the hands of the Sheriff, or which other parties wish to dispose of, may be sold. Property hos sold very low. at the last’feu- sales, and there is no reason to apprehend that it will be much higher now. Parries wishing to invest in plantation lands have tho best, of opportunities afforded them for so, some city lota to-morrow, in accordance with resolutions of Council. . ■.,. The Great Cotton Case.—The great cotton oose of Garsed ns. Metcalfe and others, fixed for trial in the United States District Court on the 30th inst., will probably not come oft until next term. Hour B. H. Hill is detained at home bv reason of sickness m his family, and it is doubtful whether or not any of the eminent counsel engaged in. the.case .can be here. j [ , Negro Shot.—Two negroes on Haywood’s Rice plantation, on the Ogeecliee liver, had a ouarrel on Friday last, and one shot the other with a gun. The: shot entered the hand, side and hip of the negro, inflicting some pretty bad wounds. The fellow who did the shooting escaped, and has not yet been apprehended. Mayor’* Court. Hon. E. C. Anderson, Mayor, Presiding. Saturday, November 28, 1868. You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will 1 But the scent of the whiskey will hang round the still. -Up rose the snn on Saturday morning, af ter his usual custom; and, having performed his ablutions in the waters of the Atlantic, he ; iroceeded to spread himself o’er the land. . rurally the hour of ten arrived, and with it came the unfortunates, whose conduct on the j irevious night had been such as to secure : or'them an entrance into tha portals of Fort Galloglay. Thomas Murphy was before His Honor for being drunk again; he having been brought tip on the same charge, on Friday. Thomas said that he was not drunk again," that it was the same old drunk. His Honor kindly in quired into Thomas’ personal history, bat he seemed loath to give its prominent features, and was told that Madame Justice would be blind again, so far as he was concerned, if he would just deposit four dollars in the old lady's collection box, and pay for the wa gon which hauled him to the Police Barracks. Joe Small, a darkey who is progressing rap idly towards the Legislature, was arrested for careless riding through the streets, and the fact being proved, Joe was sent to fill a place upon the chain gang for thirty days. Louisa Johnson lives ont at service, and always goes home after dark. Louisa is ek as a stove pipe, and not at all prepos sessing; but, somehow or other, the gallant “boys in blue,” from Oglethorpe Barracks, will come after her, and conduct themselves in an unseemly manner in her company.. This morning Louisa made her third ap pearance before the Mayor for licentious con duct in the public streets. Shewos or dered to pay a fine of six. dollars, or go to jail for thirty days. William Newton, candidate for Congress, was next brought forward to be examined as to his qualifications. He saw a blanket in a countryman’s cart, at the market, and con cluded that it would just suit him. Nobody happened to be looking, and William “lifted*' the blanket; but, as he was walking off with it, the owner called to him, and requested that he would restore the article again, and go with him to the Police Barracks. William saw ho chance to “skedaddle,” so he gave himself up meekly, and was led like a lamb to the daughter. His Honor recognized Wi’* liam as an old acquaintance, and gave him a situation on the chain gang for thirty days. Frank Cooper, a little negro thief, one" of a gang who all steal to live and live to steal, walked off with a pair of chickens belonging to a countryman at the market. As there were two or three others concerned in the theft, the case was turned over to the Detec tive force for the arrest of the other parties. COURT MARTIAL. A policeman, who coaid not be found | in his ward on the night of the 23d inst, was fined ten dollars and dismissed from the force. Broke in the Window.—We learn that some thief broke through the show window of E: D. Smythe 4 Co’s store, for pnrposes of stealage, bnt left without taking anyming. Good Advice.—Let onr possessions be what they may—marble palaces, broad lands, magnificent plate, or caskets of “ precious stones ”—they all sink in the balance against Heaven's great boon, HEALTH, and they can not be enjoyed witliontib And yet how little is it valued, and how carelessly preserved. The laws of nature cannot be violated with impu nity. Night revelry, luxurious living, irregu larity of meal6, and a disordered appetite, will gradually destroy the power and activity of the stomach. How many ladies and gen tlemen eat and drink disease at late suppers, and arise in the morning with headache, loss of appetite, feeling languid and unrefreshed. There can be no medical remedy that will turn lead into food, or poisoned drinks into nutriment, but medical science can assist nature, supply exhausted fluids, and toagreat extent correct the effects of disease. In all cases such as the above, we recommend Plan tation Bitters. Yon will find, them just the thing—at the same time a most delicious tonic and appetizer. , -resent was intended. ~ He alluded to the Captain’s social and commercial position, and said that it required courage as great ns that which enabled men to face death at the can non's -month, to brave the fury, of the ele ments. He spoke of the science of naviga tion, and the perfection to which it had been brought. The Doctor said that in honor of the lady who was the life-partner of Capt. Perry, he thought the boat should be'named the. ‘“Alice;" and proposed a toast to the lady and boat. In reply, Capt Perry returned thanks for the present and the toast, and said that the occasion would ever remain fresh in his mem ory, when hundreds of miles from the port of Savannah, A hatchet and a pipe of peaefe were then brought in. the latter being of immense di mensions, and dressed in gay colored ribbons. The hatchet Wfts then formally buried under the table, and all those yho had been on op posing sides on the occasion of the last boat race united in smoking the pipe of peace. Hon. E. C. Andejpjon, onr worthy Mayor, who was present; was called upon, and made a short speech, in whieh he allnded to the commercial position of ’Savannah, and to this improvements which had been .made in the navigation of the river. The health of Col: Anderson’ was then pro posed by Dr. Arnold, and drank by . the com pany with much applause. The company having partaken of the re freshments provided by the hospitable cap- tmu-for tkoir entertainment finally separated, after having enjoyed ft Tery good time. »m - -—- t Drowned at-Sea.—We learn from, Capt. McCullough, of the hark Margaret -Evans, which arrived at this port on Saturday last that on the third of November, in lab 39.44, Ion. 38.23, the vessel experienced a strong gale from the Sontheast,’with squalls of rain, aqd lightning. The sky was overcast with black-headed clouds, and seft running fear- ftilly high. The ship was rolling and labor ing heavily, and making more water than usual. At three o'clock iu the morning tho gale increased, and all hands were called to: shorten sail. While the upper Main topsoil was being taken in, an ordinary seaman, named Gustavos Gabriel, fell from the port yard, arm in the sea; and was nlmost - inuno- (liately lost to sight A life buoy was thrown over, in the hope that he would rise and grasp it, and the ship came to wind on the starboard tack, and cruised iu tbe vicinity, but nothing could be seen of tbe unfortu nate man. . The sea was running too high to launch a boat * Gabriel was nineteen years of age, and t native ofISmBil farer pool. Gate Her a WmiTiNa. —Hagnr Houston and Margaret Simpson made a.combined at- ’ " * ■'* colored and Alice caused _ u „ t brought before Justice Hart, where they were held to answer before the City Court for an assault and battery. gj : • — - The Wilson Murder.—The examination of the negro Jesse, for the murder of Charles P, Wilson, will be rasumed before Justices Russell and Connell at ten o’clock th: ing, at die Court House. The Steamship America.—In consequence of Thursday being a holiday, and in order to accommodate shippers,'the steamship Ameri ca did not leave Baltimore till Friday even ing, and is not due here until to-day. Deposit Books Wanted.—Persons having Books of Deposit of the late Savings Bank can sell the same at a bargain, to T. J.

SEMON’S In Mr WOMAN. JP»EMALES, OWING T© THE PECULIAR A2H> important relations which they sustain, their peculiar organization, and the offices they perform, are subject to many anfferingH. Freedom from these contribute in no small degree to their happiness aud welfire, for none can be happ." who are ill. Not only so, but no one of these vario ia female cemplaints can long be suffered to ran on without involving the general health of the individual, md ero long producing pennanmt dnifiKWRApd decline. Nor is it pleasant to on3 nit a physician foV the relief of these various deli cate affections, and only upon the most urgent neces sity will* true woman so for sacrifice her greatest charm ae to do this. The sex will then thank us for placing iu their ha ads simple specifics which will be found efficacious in relieving and curing almost evsry one ox Lioee tredbleaoma complaints peculiar to the sex. Helmbold's Extract of Buchu!! Hundreds suffer on iu aileuce, end hundreds of pthers apply vaitly to druggists and doctors, who either merely tantalize them with the hope of a cure or apply remedies which make them worse. I would not wish to assert anything that would do injustice to the afflicted, but I am obliged to say that although it may be produced from excessive exhaustion of the- powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole some air and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coffee, and frequent childbirth, it is far often e - caused by direct irritation, applied t« the mucous membrane of the vagina itself. When reviewing the causes of these distressing com plaints, it is most painful to contemplate the attendant evils consequent upon them. It is but simple justice to the subject to ©numerate a few of tho many addi tional causes which so largely affect the life*, health, and happiness of woman in aU daises of society, and which, consequently, affect, more or less directly, the welfare of the entire human frmily. The mania that exists for precocious education and marriage causes the years that nature designed for corporeal develop ment to be wasted and perverted in the restraints of dress, the early confinement of school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement of the ball-room. Thus, witl&he body half-clothed, and the mind unduly ex cited by pleasure, perverting in midnight revel the hours designed by nature for sleep and rest, the wprk of destruction is half accomplished. In consequence of thlresrly strain upon her-system, unnecessary effort is required by the delioate votary to retain her situation in school at a later day, thus ag gravating the evil. When one excitement is over, another in prospective keeps the ndnd morbidly sen sitive to impression, jvhile the now constant restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely forbidding the exer cise indispensable to the attainment and retention of organic health, and strength; the exposure to night air; the sadden change of temperature; the complete prostration produced by excessive dancing, must, of necessity, produce their legitimate effect. At last, an early marriage caps the climax of misery, and the un fortunate one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the plain dictates and remonatrancea of her delicate nature, becomes .an unwilling subject of medical treat ment. Hus la but a truthful picture of the experience of thousands of our young women.
