-The Theatre is now open for the season,
md with Mias Charlotte Thompson engaged
for a time as the leading attraction. }Ye
have a company here composed of careful
and excellent actors, and the dramatic enter
tainments should meet with liberal jjatron-
age. Savannah.® woefully destitute of’ways
and means for the public amusement, au *oc-
raaional second-class opera troupe, or a trav
eling circus, gives us a few nights of enjoy
ment; but there has been" no regular enter
tainment provided for the people. Mr. ^Gil
bert has taken the Theatre, and has provided
we of the best dramatic_companiea, if not
the best of any, that we have had since., the
wwi The performance; of Zucretia Borgia,
on Saturday night last, brought out' aind ex
hibited the talents of its members in a great
degree, and they did splendidly. '
Last evening Miss Charlotte Thompson
made her first appearance, this season, as
Pauline,” in Bulwer’s great play of The Zady
of Lyons, one of her best characters. '.To add
a word of praise of the acting of a lady, who
occupies so eminent a position pn the Ameri-
c«n stage as does this lady, would T>C snper-
dnons. It was a finished, -perfect delineation
of the character, and one-of the finest exhibi-.
tions of artistic acting that we have ever seen.
She was most admirably supported by the
members of the stock oompany. wiio, in the
virions characters of this well-known play,
did exceedingly well, .each And every .part be
ing carefully and naturally impersonated.
The audience was large, and composed of
some of our best people, arid the many good
points of the play were loudly applauded.
This evening Miss Thompson will appear
s ?nm in Little Barefoot, with a powerful cast.
This is one of Miss Thompson’s favorite char
acters, and should bring out a full house.

Adam Jackson was next ;brought forward,
and we were particularly glad to see Adam in
Court. He is one of the negro draymen’who
think that pedestrians have ho rights which

on Satnrday;evening, for furibna and careless
driving along Wlutaker street. Adam was'
fined five dollars and costs. ‘T -;; } '
Charles Yemen; negro, was another of the
same class. Not content with having the
street to drive through "he must needs run,his
horse arid wagon upon tfih sidewalk of St. ^

Paul Campbell, a representative of the
“man benighted ” race, went on a drunk ;
he got “ loily ’’ drunk; he was overrunning,
with patriotism, and abused every person
who,came along the street; until a policeman
arrived, who took him to the barracks. Paul
waB fined three dollars.
Alexander Hardee was accused of drawing
a-knife upon a Mr. Helmbold, and of disor
derly conduct in the house of said Helmbold;
also of drawing a knife upon and resisting
the arresting officer. The case was continued
for further investigation.
Joe Hunter went to market early this mom-
iug and stole a hide from out of a country
man's cart. The theft was discovered before
Jpe.had time to hide, and the article re
covered and thief caught, after a brisk chase
in the course of which half-a-dozen people
were run into and capsized. Joe struck Mr.
Miller, who caught him, and, was tried.for
larceny and assault. He proved guilty of
both, and was provided with a. situation on
the chain gang tpr sixty, days.
Matrimonial.—“Its An ill wind that blows
nobody good,” and if matrimony profits-
nobody else, it puts a few legal tenders in
the pockets of the Ordinary. Matrimony , is
an ancient and honorable institution, which’
has been in existence almost ever since the
foundation of, the world. It is that blissful
state of existence by which the parties each
gain a mother-in-law, and numerous aunts
by marriage, to make frequent visits^-hring
their knitting and stay awhile, to see how the
young couple are getting along. If a man
never possessed relations before, he diseovexs
himself with plenty of them after marriage.,.
Adairi is supposed to have been the happiest
of men; he did’nt have hali-a-dozen nervous
aunts to take’tea with him seven days in the
week, and use his honse as a cheap boarding,
place; and there was’nt anybody to tell it all
over the village if he stayed out late at night,
or danced with some pretty girl at a pic-nic
to which Madame Eve had not Been invited.
Adam mnst have had a glorious time of it,
with: nobody to throw,stones at bis glass
house,and, at the same tiine, neglect to smash
in their own windows.
Every man and woman is horn to die; and
the statistics show that the greater portion of
them have been born to be married, or come
to that end in some way or other. Married
persons live.longer than single ones, on on
average; for the reason that they have soine
one to take cayeof them when sick, to nurse
and comfort them, and on every convenient
occasiori’ thereafter' to ask them; ‘-Where
would yon have been now,-if I hadn’t takeri
care of you ?” It is a stage of existence to
which men and women take as naturally as-
ducks to water. . It is a..moment of. intense
exeiteinent to bridesiriaHs,' arid of insanity to
dressmakers and milliners. ' It is a' p'eriodpf
life fraught with the' greatest happiness;to
many; full of evil to.some.
During the month of November, just passed,
sixtegn jyirite, residents of Chatham county,
committed matrimony; or rather sixteen li
censes were issued, to enable them to do so.
During the same period thirty-five of the
colored brethren indulged. This is a decrease
of six from the number of licenses issued to
white persons during October, and an in
crease of four in favor of the colored popula
tion. The number; of marriage licenses is
sued during the past three months was as

TESTIMONY FOB TEtE STATE RESUMED.
Richard Wayne Wilson, sworn and saith: On Mon
day, the 31st of August, 1868, In the city of Savannah.
Chatham county// State of Georgia, about half-past
eight o’clock at night; I was visiting a friend, and was
sent for-by my mother, -to -go- and- search for- my
brother, Charles P. Wilson.. I-went home immedi
ately, after receiving the message; Jtfy mother begged
me to seach for my little brother. Charles P. Wilson,
who she-said, bad-left home between nine, .and- ten
o'clock that morning, to go hunting, taking his gun
and powder-flask, shot fluak andbird-hag with him.
I immediately set out ou the search, m company with
a friend. We hunted 4d* him until Thursday, tlie
third of September, 1868, at one o’clock; when, in
company with Henry Tow. Wm. Henry Bennett, E. A.
Caldwell and Francis Mendel, we found the body of
the child, Charles p. Wilson, lying dead in a pine
thicket, about a half-a-mUe south of 16 battery which
is situated just outside the city -limits, ip Chatham
county. The body was lying with thO head to the
North feet South, on the back, with his bird-bag and
stra^v hat lying near him, about two feet from the
body. I examined the body, BndiOund the left arm
broken at the elbow, the "left* breast perforated with
what I supposed to be buckahot,flred from some weap
on which must have been in the hand of some person
who was standing near the boy at the time. In the
wouhd in the breast I discovered fragments of moss,
which T supposed to be the wadding of the gnu from
which the buckshot were-discharged. There was
also a contusion on the head, just above the right ear.
We immediately procured a wagon, and bore the body
of the. child toAhe .residence of. Hepry Tow,.and
placed it in* the-hands of the Coroner. We found
nothing with.the body; there was neither gun,

morning! was iu Trig’s'houi.o and «t«yod there that
niflht. Tho old man Cyrus came to the house and
caUqd to me. I went to the d<W. He arid, Jesse have
SS Itold hTm no. He -aid that he had
been to Jackson, and Jackson said that I had the gun.
He said Jackson took- my - gnn -and did not
bring it back. I said, aunt Tfra did
Jackson or -any - one leave a*--* gun here for
me? She said no, that no gnn had been left
there. Cym said tame, come and go to'Jacksofis
with me* We went there, and Jackaou was not at
home, and we waited for him. \Y-hhe we were there
Mr. Yan Ness’ son came in and told us that we must
move out of the house. There was a man in the house
whb had baen shot,' and: I carried him to the hospital.
He was so badly shotthat-they would not receive him
at the hospital. I was gone: about an hourj when I
got bade-Jackson was there. I said, old man Cyrus
did von get your gun? .Jlp. arid no,. I said, Jackson
you-know you never lent me the gun. He said, no; I
never lent you the gnn; but I didn’t know but that
Dick might have lent ft to you. He told the old. man
to oome back the next morning and get his gun;^md
could not do it., as the gun was his only dependence
bnt that if I would come the next morning I might
have it, il I would bring It back before dark. -I did
not carry the gun away trzm the house the next morn
ing. Dick earned it, went autthe railroad, and
out bv 16 battery. We saw three white men and same
- colored men; they were trying td catch birds. They
were back of Mr. Tenack’a farm. Y e kept on back
of Mr. Tenack’a field, and saw some cows. We went
. out to hunt for cows, and J told. Dick ta shoot one.
He said.no. We went pn farther and came across a
drove of cows, and wo run them into a field and shot
one. A colored boy drove upon a^rae.^snd Dick
picked up the gnn and ran off. I cut the cow s throat,
and ran after Dick, and we never went back there
again. I do not know who killed the boy. Jackson
had the gun cn Monday, and would not Jet the old
man Cyrus have it. We went to get the gnn,
Jackson would not let us have it.
The evidence being closed, the. Court, an
nounced that it was ready to hear the argu
ment of Counsel.
CoL Holland said that it was simply nectary to
have evidence of a crime having been committed and
to decide on its character. The welfare of society de
pended upon the magistracy of the country, sitting
in such a case as this. Tbe city owed a debt of grati
tude to the officer who had ferreted out this most
damnable of damning crimes. He had never before
heard of a crime so awful, so shocking, so awful in
itw character, and must, have caused even the devils in
hell to cringe when it was told there. A little boy
goee out to enjoy his day’s sport This fellow, who
was out there to commit a crime, to kill a cow, sees
theboy. Dick says that he loaded the gun audfjave
it to this man. He saw the boy coming and cursed
the boy. "With malice aforetbohght, with hellish in
tent he deliberately raised the gun and fired. Wdl
for the prisoner that he lives in Savannah, or he would
not be here to-day. Dick runs to help the boy. and
the hellish murderer comes up, picks up the boy’s
gun, drives away Dick, and with horrible malice,
struck him twice in the head with it. It could hardly
be believed that any human being could have such
double-distilled damnation in his soul, as thus io
crush ont the life of a child. Next lie conceals the
crime; tells Dick that he must say nothing about it.
But the case rests not upon the testimory of Dick.
The lifeless body of the boy corroborated the tale fold'
by Dick. *-The imprint of the bloody hand was 7 upon
it; the wounds contained the moss with which the
gnn was wadded. And again, the testimony of Dick
is coroborated by the testimony of an adept who saysr
that the gnn must have- been close- to the
body. Di£k said that this fellow did not take
the bird bag;- when the boy "was found his gnn,
his powder flask, his shot flask were . gone; -the
bird bag was there. The body corroborated the state
ments of Dick with regard to the blows upon the
head. It was not necessary to show the parficuldr
wound from the effects of which tho child expired- -
It was common sense thaino person could have Jived
after receiving so .terrible a shot wound. Up to Thurs
day the* State bad accounted for what the pr&oner tfas
doing, and the. events of that day corroborate the evi
dence of Diet. The prisoner, in his, statement, stid
nothing about what he was doing all day Monday.
There was no <iiscrepancy between the^testimony .of
witnesses. Outride of the damnable nature oi the
crime, the only astonishing fact was that there was so
much evidence against him. The fellow’s confessions
to Marcus were corroborated, and the body of tho boy,
with its g**ping wounds, showed the truth of the boy
Dick’s statement. Could the/law inflict’such a pun
ishment as never had been heard of, there was not a
man in the community, black or white, who wopld
not point to that man and say that it should be inflict
ed upon him. It required a magnitude of forbear
ance, of self-control, for a community to hear of such
a crime and allow such a murderer to come inzo a
court of justice for that hearing which the law gives
ltin> - - ’ : \ ^
At the conclusion of CoL Holland’s address, Justice
Russell told the prisoner, Jesse,- to stand bp, and when
he had done 60 addressed him as follows:
Jesse, we have - heard' the evidence for. :the' State
against yon, and yon- have had your -witnesses. sub-
pcened here, and they haVe jiot said one word in,ydnr
behalf. Yon have heard the words of the counsel for
the State; and I say/in my place, here, on the bench,
that in all my experience as a Magistrate, running ; as
it does through twenty years. I never heard of such a/
case. It is well for .you that we do not stand here as
jurors to tpr you: but I advise you that before you do
come to trial you prepare for the worst, for I sec no
hope for you. This is, without exception, one oT the. ;
most outrageous murders that I ever heard of. I con
gratulate the citizens of Savannah upon the course
they have pursued in allowing the law to take yon
into its hands. Men of your own. color have sworn
against you; the man who witnessed the act has told-,
how the deed was done. God have mercy upon tbe-
soul of a man who could commit such'a tqzlme.
Justice Russell then read the order of Court, 33 fol
lows: T _
The State, of Georgia vs. Jesse r Watkins, negro^-
der. It is ordered. That the prisoner, Jesse Watkins,
be turned over to the January 1869, term of the Supe
rior Court, for murder, and that he be remanded to
jail for trial. . Philip M. Russell, J. P.
Lawrence Connell, J. P."
Jesse was then handcuffed, tied, and car
ried back to jail, to await his trial at thernext
term of the Superior Court.

Cussed Each Other Into Trouble.—
List, gentle reader, while we tell
What matters strange of late befel
Two maidens, black, whose heads were full
Of something that much looked like wool,
Who cussed each other; were not Chary
Of words not in the Dictionary.
Annie Robinson was a maiden of black ex
traction; if the Royal blood of Ashantee did
not course through her veins, it was no fault
of hers. She never went to the Buro Sunday
School, nor ate soup with a two pronged fork.
She was formed after the model of the Venus
—de Medici—a long ways after. In feature
she was beautiful as an houri, speaking with
sarcasm.— Nature provided Annie^ with a
tongue, and she early learned to use it. It
wagged early and late,- and, as will’ be seen,
frequently when it oughtn’t. to. Annie met
with Margaret Merritt, another child of sunny
Africa;
A maiden she, .
Who trod the earth with stately dignity.
Margaret was an accomplished linguist, and
gave Annie the full extent of her knowledge.
Annie retorted, and soon the two. were en
gaged in a ‘ ‘gibble-gnbble-gobble, ” of * such
startling rapidity that fifty short-hand repor
ters could not have taken it down. They
cussed each other for everything upon the
face of the earth, and under the waters which
surround the earth. They abused and ton
gue-lashed each other until utterly exhausted,
and then rushed off to Justice Levi S?Hart’s,
where tliey took out cross warrants "for mis
demeanor; had to "give bonds to keep out of
jail, and to pay a good round-bill of costs.
They paid dear for their cussing match.
Robbery.—About dark yesterday evening
two colored citizen's, voters of about 16 or 17
years of age, filled with the glorious ideas of
freedom, appropriated from Messrs. Russell
& Alexander’s store, oomer of Abercom and
Bay Lane, a half box of tobacco. The porter
observing the thieves made chase <after them,
when they dropped'tKeir “rights” and fled to
the Freedman’s Bureau, or some other appro
priate place. A couple of pistol shots might
have taught them that “wliite men have
rights that tho black men are bound to re
spect,” ■ ' ■ I ;
Personal.—Among the legal gentlemen
visiting our city just now, we notice Judge O.
A. Loclirane, of Atlanta, Arthur Hood, Esq.,
of Cuthhert, Judge Nisbet, and Hon. Wash
ington Poe, of Macon.
