A morning paper makes a funny statement
regarding the chapel of the Sisters of Mercy:

that; next it would have us believe the edi-

Two Houses Burned.—We understand that
there were two houses destroyed by the ne
groes at Mrs. Marshall’s Woodlawn Plantat ion,

The dwelling house, and what was originally
the overseer’s house, standing in close prox
imity to each other, were burned to the
ground. They had only been empty a few
days, and being without any one to look after
them, the negroes could not resist so good an
opportunity to indulge in their incendiary'
propensities. - ■
c’hrist Chuech, Macon.—The following
item, from the Macon Journal <t’ Messenger,
will be of interest to our Protestant Episco
pal readers. That paper says: “It affords us
Pleasure to state that Bishop Beckwith has
signified his acceptance of Christ Church as
the Cathedral Church of the diocese of Geor

Sent to Jail.—Charles Robinson, a gentle-
wan of color, who was in want of an over-
coat to protect his • noble person from the
opieai by its stupidity, and who did not
repent having sat through its prosy length.
The principal character “Mrs. Haller," was
impersonated by Miss Charlotte Thomp
son; and of course, she acted that part well,
as she does everything else. But it is a
play in which she was sadly out of place, and
Fanchon, Little Barefoot or Ifigomar would have,
proved lar more attractive to theatre-going
people. Mr. Sntton as “The Stranger” was
misanthropical enough to give one a cold
chill for a week to come. Mr. Harrison did
“ Peter” up to life. “ Francis” is the only
other character besides “Mrs. Haller" of
which anything can be made. This part was
not well cast last evening. The other char
acters were evidently thrown in by the au
thor to fill np with, and no actors ever expect
to make anything out of them.
.Miss Katie Gilbert, whom we are pleased
to see on the boards again after a severe in
disposition, executed a very pretty lancy
dance and was loudly applauded.
After having sat through 'the Wronger the
audience, which, by the way, was an excel
lent one, was quite ready for something live
ly. The Married Hake came very' opportune
as the after piece, and was heartily enjoyed.
Miss Alice Harrison, who has not appeared
for some time, came out as “ Mrs. Trictrac ”
and “Capt. Fitz Henry,” which characters
she acted to perfection. Mr. Harrison took
the part of “ Mr. Flighty,” which ho did np
in his usually excellent manner, and the play
went off admirably.
This evening Miss Thompson will have a
grand farewell benefit, and we bespeak for
her such a house as she has not had yet
One of the best of American actresses, a
lady of Southern birth and education, Miss
Thompson deserves at the hands of this com

to be present, both to enjoy themselves and
to encourage the enterprising manager to
continue in his efforts to keep Savannah sup
plied with a place of public amusement
Miss Thompson will appear this evening in
The Serious Family and in The Little Treasure,
two plays which are great favorites with the
public.

Florida Oysters.—We noticed in Wednes
day's paper the fact that Messrs. T. S. Jones
4 Co. were about to establish themselves in
tbe oyster business, bringing those delicious
Bivalves from Apalachicola. We had an ocu
lar demonstration that they had commenced
I'isiness by receiving from them yesterday a
“ue sample of Gulf oysters.
Lost at Sea.—Captain Melvin, of the hark
John Eills, which arrived here yesterday,
forty-nine days from Antwerp, reports that
°_n the 29th of October last, the bark expe
rienced a heavy gale from the Southwest;
and while engaged in furling the inner jib, a
seaman, named George Green, fell overboard,
and was drowned.
Rankruptcy. —Henry Clay Roberts and John
J L Roberts, of Warrenton, Georgia, yester
day filed a petition, asking to be allowed to
take the benefit of the bankrupt law.
The Hebrew Fair.—The Hebrew Fair at
St. Andrew’s Hall will close to-morrow night,
and we urge upon our readers to visit it du
ring the time which yet remains, and do
alTthat they can to make it a success. The
Fair is not given for any sectarian purposes,
but to raise funds for the erection of a col
lege building for the Hebrew Collegiate In
stitute, where children of all denominations
may be furnished with a good education.
We catfnot increase onr educational facilities
to too great an extent; the more schools and
colleges there are, and the greater the advan
tages we provide for the education of the
coming generation, the better. At all Chris
tian fairs the Hebrew citizens have been pres
ent and contributed towards making them
successful. They deserve a return in the
shape of liberal patronage to a fair originated
under their auspices, but for no sectarian
purpose. We hope that the fair will be
crowded during to-day and to-morrow even
ing, and that a goodly sum may be realized
for the benefit of the Institute.
Small Business.—We take the following
paragraph from the Republican of yesterday:
‘ Will the Morning News please inform its
readers by what authority the name of the
‘Republican’ was stricken from the official
proceedings of the Germania Fire Company,
as they appeared in its columns yesterday ?
We feel sure that neither the editor nor pro
prietor of that paper has any connection with
so small a business."
The proprietor of the Morning News, while
he appreciates the implied compliment to
Col. Thompson and himself, would, in justice
to this paper, and in refutation of the intend
ed slur upon Mr. Wilfong, its able and ener
getic local editor, Btate that the “ official pro
ceedings” alluded to in the above article, (a
number of resolutions), were, by request, re
written by Mr. Wilfong, and as he did not
insert the name of the Republican in them he
had no occasion to strike it out. It was not
mentioned in tlw original copy, and no re
quest was made that it should be put in bis.
Mayor’s Court.
Hon. E. C. Andebson, Mayor, Presiding.
Thursday, December JO, 1868.
The Mayor s Conrt was opened this morn

troduce the sinners to His'Honor’s presence.

Improved Car Coupling—Scarcely a day
passes but the press throughout the country
have to record an accident by which an en
gineer, a conductor, or a brakeman, receives
severe injuries, and sometimes loses his life
in merely attempting to couple or uncouple a
car. An ingenious, yet simple improvement
to the ordinary buffer, invented and patented
by H. W. Boifeuillet, Esq., a native of this
city, and an engine® on the Central Railroad,
has completely obviated the danger hereto
fore incurred by those whose place it is to
perform the duty. In the improvement the
buffer is of the usual form, with a moveable
lip so arranged that the links can be elevated
to suit cars of different heights without the
person going between the cars. By a simple
self-acting arrangement the pin can be kept
up so that the cars will couple themselves.
This valuable invention has already received
the endorsement of prominent railroad men,
and its application will save many limbs and
lives.
The Debate Wednesday Night.—The late
hour of closing the debate, and the press of
other matter upon our columns, prevented
ns from speaking of the pleasant evening
passed at the debate of the young men con
nected with the Library' Association. The
Trinity Church room was completely filled
with an intelligent and appreciative audience,
whose wrapt attention to the various speak
ers, and frequent applause, evidenced their
pleasure. It was a decided success, and the
Association need feel proud of the result,
which we are assured will fill their room to
repletion whenever they. may call together
the public on a similar occasion. By a reso
lution introduced at the close of the debate,
we see that Capt. Hale has been invited and
will deliver an address to his fellow members
and the public upon electricity and its modi
fication, with a touch upon “ Flanchette.”
When delivered we predict a crowded house.
The Cotton States Lp'e Insurance Com
ply. The books of subscription to the
capital stock of the above company are now
open at the office of Messrs. R. H- Footman
& Co., in the Exchange building. The com
pany was chartered by the Legislature at its
last session, and among the names of the in
corporators we find those of the leading bu
siness men of Macon. The capital stock is
$500,000, with the privilege to increase it to
the sum of $2,000,000, and the charter re
quires that a deposit of $200,000 shall he
made with the Comptroller General of the
State as a guarantee fond for the security of
the policy holders. That the company will
be a success, none who know of the immense
amount of capital invested in life insurance
throughout this and other States can have the
slightest doubt
The Casting op Guano along the Streets.
We must enter our protest, and ask the
City Council to provide by law for some dif
ferent manner of carrying guano through the
streets. Yesterday, for hours, there was a
vile stench for hours along the Bay, caused
by this nuisance of carrying guano on drays.
The bags appeared to be defective, the sub
stance dropped in the street, and the horri
ble sickening stench filled the air, leading
one to believe that an earthquake had east

book in hand, stood ready to assist all who
wanted to “cuss;" while the Chief Detective
bestowed Ins smiles upon all, and reporters
looked happy, by reason of a full docket.
ft Edward Mimis, a boy in blne, ; .of.rtheSf ^‘ldt.
ns have peace^ persuasion, was arrested on
Wednesday night, while acting in a suspi
cions manner under the bluff. He had
camped out on a wharf, and his actions
caused those who observed them to believe
that he was making preparations to “shuffle
off Ithis mortal coil.” The' policeman
thought that he was a soldier, who had
taken French leave of absence from his com
pany, and. arrested him. The Mayor or
dered that Edward be sent to the United
States Barracks, for the officers there to take
cognizance of his case.
James Hadden was encircled by the whis-
► key ring on Wednesday night. TTis mind
became so confused that he lay down in the
street, under the impression that he was at
home and that his bed was before him.
James was so dead gone, that the policeman
who found him was forced to obtain a wagon
to carry him to the Guard Honse. The Bird
of Liberty drooped its wings and shed a tear
as James was led away under sentence to
pay a fine of three dollars, and itis carriage
hire.
Theodore - Gibson, a colored boy whose
moral education has been sadly neglected,
threw a brick which struck a storekeeper
near the market, in the side. The store
keeper said that Theodore cursed him, and
he gave the boy a kick, that he ran off a short
distance, then turned and threw the missile.
His Honor did not like to commit the boy
upon such testimony, and the case was held
over for investigation by the Chief Detective.
The boy was afterwards sent to the Barracks
to be locked up for a few hours, as a punish
ment for cursing in the public streets.
The above case created quite a stir among
the negroes around the market, who thought
the boy ought not to have been arrested.
One of them, named Ben Follins, acted.in a
very disorderly manner, and tried to incite
the crowd to resist the officers, which led to
his arrest. He was ordered to pay a’ fine of
ten dollars or go to jail for thirty days.
James Demere, another negro, interfered
in the Bame affair, and was very violent.
When the officers attempted to clear the mar
ket he refused to leave, and afterwards tried
to create an excitement in the Btreet. He was
armed with a six-barreled revolver, which he
flourished in a threatening manner, and
wanted to put an end to the existence of -the
policemen. He was ordered to pay a fine of
ten dollars or go .to jail for sixty days.
Scipio Patterson was arrested for firing off
a pistol in the street. The witness against
• him was not present and his case was con
tinued until to-morrow morning.
William Mitchell and George Wilkie, two
gay troubadours of the African persuasion,
went out on a serenading party on Wednes
day night, and by way of amusement they
had a fisticuff at the corner of. Bull and
Broughton streets. They were told to go and
fight no more.
The Justice of the Peace Question.—The
question as to whether or not there shall be
an election for Justices of the Peace held in
January next, or not, having excited a great
‘ilish be-
deal of talk in certain circles, we pub]
low the opinion of one of Bullock’s attaches.
Since the letter to which this is an answer
was "written, the Ordinary has concluded not
to order the election; but the views set forth
in this answer will be of interest. The letter
is as follows:
Atlanta, December 7th, 1868.
Philip 31. Russell, Fsq.:
Sir—In the absence of the Governor, I
have the honor to acknowledge'the receipt of
yonr communication of the 3d inst. After
stating that you are informed that the Ordi
nary of Chatham county intends to order an
election for Justices of the Peace in the va
rious districts of the county, you say: “I
desire to know if any persons who are not
disfranchised under the Constitution should
be elected, will you commission them; and,
has the Ordinary, under the law, the right to
order said election ?”
Giving, of cjm-se, my own views only to
your inquiries, to the first, I would say, the
Governor probably would not commission
persons so elected, for the reason that, while
the late Constitutional Convention, held in
Atlanta, framed an ordinance authorizing an
election to be held on the 20th, 21st, 22d
and 23d of April last, “ for Governor, mem
bers of Congress, members of the General
Assembly, and all other officers to be
elected as provided in the Constitution,” the
ordinance expressly excepted Justices of the
Peace, and provided as to them that tjiey
“shall be elected at such time as shall he
provided for by the first General Assembly,
until otherwise provided by law." The first
General Assembly did not provide any time
for holding elections for Justices of the Peace;
therefore none is fixed, and no provision
made by law for holding such elections. I
would add, I presume the Legislature will,
at 'its coming session, provide by law for
holding elections throughout the State for
Justices of the Peace, one to each G. M.
District.
To your second inquiry, the answer is ob
vious. Certainly no person who is obnox
ious to the.third section of the fourteenth
article of the Constitution of the United
States, can he commissioned. A person to
be eligible to the office of Justice of the Peace
must, in addition to the qualifications re
quired in the said third section, have all the
.qualifications required by our State Consti
tution and laws. Very respectfully,

Tlxe Slddawiy Sliell Road.
Savannah, Dec. 10, 1868.
FiRlors Morning Sews :
In your paper of yesterday there was an
article which reflected severely upon the
Skidaway Shell Road Company. It appears
to have been written with a purpose, and that
purpose was—what V By showing that the
expenses of the road are light and its receipts
heavy, it would tend to cause one who had
stock to sell to hold it high; or by arousing a
crusade against the road, depreciate the value
of its stock, and enable one who might wish
to purchase to do so at a low figure; and thus
a “comer” might be made in Skidaway
stock.
Now, Messrs. Editors, if the citizens wanted
the road completed to Skidaway, why did they
not, when the books were open, subscribe
the money necssary for that purpose? Or,
if they wnnt it completed now why not &sk
for the re-opening of the books, and
subscribe to secure. that end ? And as re
gards the profits of the road, I am not so
sure that it will be of any profit to stock
holders for a very long time. The recent dry
season has demonstrated the fact, that the
road,like cotton, is affected by drought; that
its being serviceable for any length of time is
dependent upon the frequency of the rains.
During the past two months, which have
been particularly dry, the shell has been
ground to powder, and blown away by the
high winds; so that the profits of the road
and more too, will be required to have it
properly shelved again. It is very possible
that a call may be made upon stockholders
for this purpose, rather than suffer which
they may favor an increase instead of a re
duction of the rates of toll
The people complain of large pieces of
shell being thrown upon the road. Messrs.
Editors, as the shell on the road has now to be
renewed, and immediately, it may be that
oysters, clams, lobsters and even concks,”
may have to be pat upon it, trusting to the
numerous wagons which pass over the road
to grind them into proper shape. It prom
ises to be a long day before the shell road
will pay another dividend at this rate, and
its profits will not be so great as generally
supposed. The parties who, to sell their
stock at a high figure, speak so loudly of the
enormous dividends declared by the com
pany, do so only because they are aware of
the state of things which exists in reality,
and want to get rid of it ere they are called
upon to assist in paying the expenses of the
road. If they have shared its profits in the
past, they should assist to bear its burthens
in the future; at least such is the opinion of
A Free Thinker.

OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS, j
Savannah. Thursday. December 10, 1868.
Cotton.—At the close of onr last report, the staple
showed a dull and drooping tendency in prices, buyers
entering the market only when concessions from ask
ing prices were made. This dull state of affairs ex
isted until last Tuesday, when an active demand
sprang up for foreign account; but holders, at the
same time, were instructed by their friends in the
interior to withdraw their stocks from the market
until better prices could be obtained. This caused a
small business to be done, at higher figures. Since
that time, the accounts from the Liverpool and New
York markets, showing a better feeling and higher
prices, have induced buyers to operate to some extent,
taking such lots as were offered at comparatively cheap
rates.
The rapid advance demanded by holders has given
ua, at the close of our review, a quiet, but firm market,
buyers being unrolling to meet the views of the
Sellers. We quote:
Middling, nominally 23% @23%
. Low middling ,...23 @23%
Good ordinary —22%@22%
We give the following resume of the week:
Friday.—The market opened with some inquiry,
bnt was irregular throughout the day. Market closed
quiet, with middling 23 %c. Sales, 691 bales.
Saturday.—The market opened with fair inquiry,
but much caution was used by buyers, who took such
lots as could be obtained at comparatively small
figures. Market closed quiet, with middling at 23@
23 %c. Sales, 553 bales.
Monday.—The market opened irregular and unset
tled, and continued so most part of the day. The se
lection of offering stock was poor. Market closed un
settled, with middling at 23c. Sales, 759 bales.
Tuesday.—The inquiry to-day has been good, with
small sales. Offering stock light. Advices from
New York caused more firmness in our market, which
closed steady, with middling at 23c. Sales, 408 bales.
Wednesday.—Market opened quiet; offering stock
very light. Advices of an advance in the New York
caused more firmness in onr market, which closed
with middling at 23%c asking, offering 23%c—none
to be had at the latter figure. Sales, 926 bales. •
Thursday.—Market opened to-day with very good
inquiry. Advices from New York and Liverpool
caused onr market to close firm, with middling at
23%@23%c. Lower grades much neglected. The
following were the sales of the day: 5 bales at 24%c,
2 at 24. 89 at 23%, 118 at 23%, 57 at 23%, 364 at 23%,
284 at 23, 92 at 22%, 22 at 22, 26 at 21, and 4 at 20-
total, 1,203 bales. Sea Island.—Inquiry light* Sales,
i2 bags at 68c, and 17 at 62—total. 29 bags.
Sea Islands.—There has been a moderate but
steady demand during the week, and the sales amount
to 130 bags, at about our last quotations, which we
renew at foot. The transactions have been principally
in the lower grades, at 65@65c, taken chiefly by
Norther buyers; but there is also a fair inquiry for
medium fine and fine, for English and French orders.
The receipts for the week are 220 bags, against 527 bags
at tbe same period last year, bnt advices from the
country are such as to cause rather a lower than higher
range of estimates. In Carolina it is believed that at
least one-half of the crop has already been received;
in Florida, one-half to three-fourths, whi e a smaller
proportion of the Georgia crop has been sent in for
want of means of getting it out. We quote: *
Fine, ^ lb, asking price $1 00
Medium fine, sales at 80@90
Medium, “ Co@75
Common ** 53@60
The receipts at this port since the 3d inst. amount
to 12,946 bales upland, of which 15,374 were received
per Central Railroad, 1,458 per Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road, 633 from landings on the Savannah river, and
220 bales from Florida- The exports for the same
time have been 4,034 bales npland and 149 bales
sea island, of which 2,203 bales upland were shipped
to Liverpool, 3,635 bales upland and 149 bales sea
island to New York, 529 bales upland to Philadelphia,
and to Baltimore 520 bales.
