Major Hirsh, previous to the hte struggle, was an officer in the United states army, gaining that position during the Mexican war. Having been stationed hi this city for several years previous to that time, he, on the secession of Georgia, placed him self on the side of his adopted State, and ser ved to the end of the contest. Since that time he has occupied a position at the Gjulf Hoad; but au afflicting dispensation of Providence, to gether with the troubled condition of the South, caused him to give up that position, aud to-day he leaves for his native land; Trassia, via New York, where he will prob ably remain. His many friends will regfet departure from our midst. Tax Sink Ordinance.—Before the City Council meets’again, we suggest to the mem bers of the Board to prepare a modification °i the Sink ordinance. As the ordinance stands, the contractor is privileged to com mence the cleansing of sinks as soon as it is tat it Should’ pe so amended as to have 'be work done after midnight During last season the contractor did his work at an early bow in the evening, and wlien the streets ^ere full of people, and he might just as well “are done it in the day time. It would have Nr rq more mediately after iacnminatiQh _ proper, we hope that Council vyill see to it •bat the public shall be prqtecied from such S ^sgnstjng anuqvaneg, At the Fair To-night.—We advise all of readers to visit the Hebrew Fair at St, Andrew’s Hall to-night, and take supper toere. Mrs. Octavus Cohen, who has charge «that department, intends doing full justice the occasion, and will have such a grand illation spread as will make everybody want Partake of it The suppers heretofore have been superb, but this evening will ex- «ed them all. , unle Fromthts report, we ascertain for the first time, that over a year ago the Catholic citi zens applied to the Board to have their, schools taken charge of and made a part of the: system of public education. To most people this ^statement will be a complete It would have been far better had it been known, and the opinions of citizens, who are directly and deeply interested, ascertained, that the Board might act intelligently; on the question, and not only in accordance with its' own views, but also to please the people whose representatives they are. If the Board, by withholding its actions from the public shows a want of confidence in the people, it cannot but expect that want of confidence to be returned. The present Board of Education is admir ably composed, and its members have proved faithful conservators of a public trust; it has adopted wise measures for the government of the public schools, and under its manage ment Savannah enjoys greater facilities for public education than ever before. Still the school system is not sufficiently extensive to meet the demands of the public, and the Board can only enlarge it when funds suffi cient for that purpose are placed in their hands by the representatives of the people— the City Council. We feel assured that the education of our youth is regarded by the people as the most important of all public in terests. They are not unwilling to contribute the money necessary to make the public school system complete; and had the Board consulted them, allowed its operations and necessities to be known, we feel confident that our High Schools would now he entirely free, and there wonld be no complaint that the schools are not sufficient to accommodate all the children who apply for admission. Of the administration of public school affairs the people are kept in entire ignorance, save, when once or twice during a year, when some slight hint drops out, and is spread abroad. It was never known that the Board had in contemplation the establishment of High Schools until they were in. operation; nor has it ever been made public that the Armory Hall building was turned over to it, by the head of the Freedmen’s Bureau. In this en lightened age the people like information upon all subjects; and we think it would be the part of wisdom to have the proceedings of the Board of Education laid before me public, as are the operations of all other pub lic bodies. This is the course pursued in other places, and in every instance with success. The more that educational matters are laid before the people, the greater the interest that they will take in them, and the more liberal will he their support of the schools. The Board expresses its readiness, when provision is made to enable it to do so, to make arrangements for the education of col ored children. This is a matter of the most vital importance to our people. It is a grave question, and one of serious import to the future prosperity of this country, whether our people will allow the rising generation of the colored population to grow up and con tract the idle, dissolute and vagabondish habits of the present generation; or leave them to be subjected to the influences by which they will be surrounded in Bureau schools, aud establishments built and foster ed by the people who are hostile to the best interests of this community, and whose -Miss Thompson’s benefit not . a. success, pecuniarily, as was slimly attended. It ly toe otherwise, considering the outside pressure brought to bear upon this evening, and proved the folly of having ben efits upon two successive nights. It would have been far better for Manager and'citizens to have united upon one evening. The per- stayed away missed a good thing. The Seri ous Family, though old, and often played,' test of age and wear, and is a fa- the public. Miss Thompson im- the gay auu brilliant “Mrs. 1 very charmingly. Mr. [licking, jovial .“Captain urphy Maguire,” did himself credit, while Mr. Eeese came out better than usual, as Charles ^Torrens,“Amenedab Sleek,” or Liberty Billings, of the Florida Convention, we do not know which, was there,* in the per- son of Mr. Hamson, who did full justice to cellent style, and kept the audience in a fine good humor. The Ziffle Treasure, a very pretty petite com edy, dosed the entertainment. Miss Thomp son appeared as “ Gertrude,” a character in which she is familiar to most of our readers, she haying played that part on several previ ous occasions here, and did it splendidly as usual. She was ably supported by Miss Har rison, Mrs. Cole, Miss Gilbert, Mr. Sutton and others. Taken as a whole, the evening’s entertainment was a very enjoyable one. This evening the citizens’ complimentary benefit to Miss Thompson takes place. On this occasion she will appear as “Miss Dor- rillon,” in Wives as they Were and Maids as they Are, and as “Margery” in the Bough Diamond, with Harrison as “Cousin Joe.” This will be her last appearance this season. Brevities.—Yesterday was “decidedly win- terish, and made overcoats popular. To morrow will be the third Sunday in Advent. It will be appropriately observed at the Catfiblic and Episcopalian Churches.—The loss of Masonic Hall is severely felt—The street gang cleaned off some of the Bull street cross-walks yesterday.—The grand compli mentary benefit to Miss Charlotte Thompson, takes place at the theatre' this evening.— Our wharves are crowded with shipping just now, but cotton comes in slowly.—Our Euro pean steamer ought to be in pretty soon, if it is to sail next Tuesday.—Templeton- has cut loose from the “Show of all Shows,” which did not pay, and is now running a theatre in Atlanta.—The New York Herald says that theatrical business is rushing in Savannah just now.

Stole a Pair of Shoes.—James Adams a T&dical colored individual, Btitlerized a pair shoes from a feminine specimen of. his ? ce - James was arrested and brought be- *ore Justice P. M.

Every one should visit the fair, , 086 who g° be sure to find some Whole which will suit them to purchase. their own hands, and by the adoption of wise and beneficent measures, secure peace and harmony between the races, and ensure the future prosperity of the country. The Cath olic school already established for the educa tion of colored children is largely at tended, and is working great good. It is' not too late for the people to act in this matter, and by proving themselves favora ble to the education of the colored race to become gcod and usefql members of the community, break up the influence of the mischief-making Bureau, and the hordes of New England school-ma’ams and misters, who are now engaged in laying the founda tions for future trouble, by teaching the colored people that the Southern whites are their greatest enemies. It is no use to lie idly by and say they aTe only niggers, and never can be elevated. We do but encom pass our own ruin. It is well to try the ex periment of teaching them to become good, quiet, honest and peaceable citizens, and by the erection of public schools, withdraw the rising generation from the fatal, blighting in fluences hy which D,oodle-dom has snrroun led them. In this way we can secure peace and prosperity in the future. The next se(» on of the Legislature should not be alloweu to pass without some action being taken on this subject; and, when means are provided for the education of colored children, we want to see education made compqlsory, as it al ready is in some cities of this country. A Bold Burglar Captured.—Early yes terday morning,, a negro, with a villainous countenance, climbed up to the second story window of the residence of Mr. B. H. Hardee, comer of Bull and Charlton streets. Finding the window open, he jumped in, and entered the sleeping apartment of Mr. B[ardee, where he packed up that gentleman’ 8 clothing, pre paratory to leaving with it. Considering this booty insufficient to pay himrfor his trouble, he went to the bed to search under the pil lows, thinking that, perhaps, he might find a watch. As he V’aa fqmbling around in the dark, his hand accidentally came in contact with Mrs. Hardee’s face, which caused her to awake. She aroused Mr. Hardee, who in stantly arose and made search for the in truder. The negro, on alarming the’ occu- of the room, had retreated to a small. [-room connected with the apartment, where he was captured. J He made no; re sistance, and'did uat'attemRt to escape, but, finding himself com ered, shqwed Mr. Hardee how he had managed to get into the mom- That gentleman took him down to the Police Barracks, where he remained until brought before the Mayor’s Court. The case was sent from thereto a magistrate, and thenegpi.was taken before Justice P. Bussell, Jr who committed him tp. jaii tp av&t trial by the Superior Cqurt, f The negro gave hi! and he is one of ever brought before the courts. His enter prise was certainly one p| the boldest and most desperate ever attempted in this city, and will he very apt to end in his being sent to the Penitentiary for life. —— *** Back at Thondemsolt Park.—Owing to a press of other matters upon our columns we have neglected fPr a day or two, to notice the race which is to come off at - Thunderbolt Park, on Wednesday, afternoon next, under the auspices of the Savannah Racing Club. The race will be between the three well known horses, Mattie, Brick Pomeroy and Lucv Long, mile beats, best three m five, tohamess.for a purse of $250, $50 to ^sec ond horse. The last , race between these three horses was decided to have been won by Lnoy Long; bqt considerable dissatisfac tion was created by one of the heats being, as was claimed by many, WTpngfolly adjndg- list A rf animals are all good on the trot, and have many admirers. The track ought to be m better condition than it was on the former occasion, and, perhaps, even better time will be made than before. The race will come off at two o’clock in the afternoon. Urns allow ing sufficient time, if the jndgesaet promptly, to run all the heats, should it be before darkness comes on. We presume the race will attract a very large crowd of spec tators, and that the ladies will come out in force to witness the trial of speed, ' «»«— Case of Assault and Batteby and Breach of the Peace.—Billy Graham, August John son and Charles Tolman, were each before Justice Smith, -.yesterday, charged with the offence of assault and battery and breach of the peace. They gave bonds for their ap pearance and were discharged.

Two Vessels Put in in Distress.—The' schooner Dupont, Captain Anderson, in the service of the United States Lighthouse Board, which has been on a cruise along the Southern coast, examining and fixing buoys, put into this fujrt fast evening, in distress. A day or two ago, while South of this point, in' a heavy gale, she lost her foremast, and jelled to make a harbor to repair damages. The sloop Clipper, Captain Hayes, of Beau fort, also arrived last evening, in a sinking condition. Yesterday, while on her way to this city, she experieneed. a strong gale from the Northw’est, and the sea was very heavy. The waves washed over her deck, and she arrived at Venus’ Point, last evening, full of water; and was compelled to call noon vessels lying there for assistance to prevent her from The Brunswick- Banner.—We had the pleasure of meeting a few days since Mr. .B. C. Franklin, the editor and proprietor of the Banner, ' published in- Brunswick. We hope when the Bail Boad is throngh the Banner will became a daily, and that its versatile -proprietor, who keeps store, is postmaster, and an excellent rinter (as the appearance of his paper ears evidenoe), will add to his other duties that of Collector of Customs, with a nice little salary of several thousand a year. Look Out for Your Christmas Poultry.— Henry Johnson, the most inveterate poultry thief in the city, has almost served oat a term of imprisonment at the Police Barracks, and will be discharged in a day or two. We ad vise all persons who. have chickens, ducks or turkeys, which they are fattening for the hol idays, to keep a sharp watch upon them, as it is not'safe for a rooster to crow or a turkey to gobble, when Henry is within ten miles of Savannah, - . . • r— Steamships to Sail To-Pat.—The steam ship San Salvador, Capk Nickerson, will sail for New York at three o’clook.thte afternoon.

Anderson, Mayor, Presiding. Fridat, December 11, 18G8. The Court was. not very lively this.mom- ing; the cold soon cast a chill over spectators and prisoners, and the proceedings were rap idly hurried to a conclusion. The general commanding Washington Ward was in his accustomed place.- and to prove to him that he had been missed therefrom for some time, the band played “Days of Absence” in an affecting manner. Court having been opened the Mambnl an nounced the presence of Septimus Williams, a colored orphan of mature years, and an op erator in cotton. Sep. had a bale of cotton in his possession, for which he could not sat isfactorily account to an inquisitive -police-, man, who conveyed Septimus and the cotton to the Barracks.’ The case was submitted to the Chief Detective for an investigation. Charles Knight, a villainous looking negro, arrested while in the act of committing a burglary, was sent to a Magistrate for com mittal. A little Screven county darkey, who re joiced in the cognomen of Jim, was arrested for driving his wood wagon upon the side walk, and for driving a wagon without a' badge. He was fined three dollars. fort. FOR RENT, mHE HOUSE ON COLUMBIA SQUAKE, JL comer President and State streets.
