Ihe Theatke.—Trodden Down, or, Under
|r„j flags, was given at the Theatre last
jail, for the first time in this city, we be-
Hevi. It is a drama of which Mr.- Watkins is
Cher, and it is one of the best plays brought
:at here in some time. It attracted a large
aliince, which, to judge by the applause,
i well pleased with the play. Mr. and
i Watkins were well supported by Mr.
feitet’s stock company, and the perform-
*ias enjoyed by all who witnessed it.
Ihe Theatre appears to be an established fact,
kadthe people manifest great interest in it.
fa one season, at least, we have that insti-
ton well patronized. The company is a
laid one, and is appreciated by the people.

various opportunities offeredfor the selection
of Christmas goods, and commence to-day,
with the well known china, glass and crock
ery establishment of J. W. Stansbury & Co.,
on Broughton Btrcet above BulL
About a week ago, this enterprising firm
disposed of their whole stock at auction, for
the.purpose of making room- for an entire
and complete new assortment of goods, suit
able as well for the holidays as for the general
trade of a first-class house. Yesterday the
new stock was displayed Upon the shelves
and counters for the inspection of the pnblic,
making a glittering, dazzling and beautiful
exhibit of the wonders of art in the manufac
ture of china and glass ware. Although the
weather was unpleasant, scores of ladies
availed themselves of the freedom which at
taches to an “opening day,” to examine and
admire the grand assortment. Standing at
the front door and looking down through the
store, the scene resembled the descriptions
of Aladdin's Cave. A greater variety of arti
cles in this line, which furnishes, to a great
extent, the public demand for articles for
gifts, has never before been brought out here.
In the right-hand comer, near the door, a
large stand is filled with Bohemian glass and
Lava vases of medallion, flowered and Gre
cian styles of ornamentation, chaste, elegant
and rich decorations for the mantel piece.
The delicate colors and fine workmanship
challenges the admiration of all. The assort
ment of these articles seems almost unlimit
ed, and every variety is -presented to suit
every taste. Directly in front of the door is
a handsome display of silver-plated ware,
from the manufactory of the celebrated Meri
den Brittania Company, comprising break
fast, dinner and tea sets, both plain and
beautifully ornamented, with perfect finish,
and every style of chasing. There are butter
dishes, card receivers, - forks, spoons, Ac.;
egg stands with twelve gold-lined cups, and
twelve spoons, (a beautiful ornament for the
brealriast table), castors, cake baskets, and so
on, ad infinitum.
Next in order we mention the Parian mar
ble goods, and in this line the assortment is
as great as can be found in any emporium in
the metropolis. There are vases of superior
workmanship, busts and figures, furnishing
chaste decorations for mantel pieces, table or
etagere. The statuettes and boquet holders
are very beautiful, and we noticed among the
figures, statuettes of Faith and Hope, of
Spring and Autumn, Rustic Lovers, and
others, which are made in a new style, with
gilded beads in the drapery, making, with the
pure whiteness of the marble, a very pleasing
effect
The toilet sets are more than elegant,, and
of great variety in style. In Bohemian glass
there are sets in ruby, white, pink, green,
blue, Ac., the colors being of the most deli
cate description. Around the stand upon
which these articles were exhibited the ladies
lingered, absorbed in admiration. These
goods are of extra finish, and of the very
latest style of manufacture. There are three
pieces in some sets, and in others five—per
fumery bottles, powder bowls, boquet stands
and holders, making a splendid bureau deco
ration.
The sets of dinner dishes are also veiy ele
gant, and are exhibited in every conceivable
pattern and design, with gold band, or plain.
For those who wish to re-fumish their tables,
a fine .opportunity is afforded. The tea sets
are likewise new and pretty, being of the very
latest designs. Ornamented or plain sets,
some of forty-fonr and others of fifty-six
pieces, can be obtained. A new, unique and
attractive style of these goods consists of
china cups, with coral handles. Tete-a-tete
sets, of beautiful patters, are displayed, and
are generally admired. Tea sets in lava, rich
and elegant, also constitute one of the fea
tures of this extensive stock.
The ent glass ware department is filled
with a magnificent display of goods, of the
richest and most attractive patterns. The
stock of goblet3, boquet holders, decanters,
Ac., preserve dishes, cake dishes, Ao., Ac., is
very extensive, and challenges the admira
tion of all visitors;
Included in -the general stock there are
smoking sets, (waiter, tobacco and pipe hol
ders and match box) in lava, china and wood,
carved and decorated; there are children’s tea
sets, in lava and c hinff!. inkstands in ehony
and white, vases of every description; Bo
hemian ware of all kinds; motto cups, sau
cers and mugs in every variety; beautiful
chamber sets, candle sticks of many different
patterns; and a very lai^ assortment of
dolls, for the children, which will be opened
for inspection to-day.
The shelves are filled with goods of all
kinds, making one of the uiost complete and
elegant stocks to he found anywhere in the
country. Our readers should pay the store
a visit, and enjoy the pleasure of looking at
L he beautiful articles; and all who Wish to
make purchases will find the prices reason
able on all things.
Arrest of Disordeelx Negroes.— Interfer
ence wtth an Officer.—Some time during
the past year a negro, named Harry Stewart,
squatted upon Mr. Jacob Waldburg’s place,
at St Catherine’s Island, and commenced
teaching a school. He was allowed to remain
by the proprietor, and soon ctnaineneed to
teach the negroes not to work, or to do any-
thino- for their employer, and to take posses-
sion°of the land for themselves. Mr. Wald-
bura told him to leave, and he promised to
do so, but failed to go; and when spoken
to a“ain positively refused to leave. Another
negro, named Shallon Jefferson, joined in
with Stewart, and threatened to kill Mr. Wald-
burg and excited insubordination among the
other hands. Tfiat gentleman came to town,
and had warrants issued for the arrest of both
negroes. On Tuesday afternoon Constable
Barthelmess went to the island arrest the
negroes. Stewart was at first disposed to go
quietly, but Jefferson swore he would not be
taken. Other negroes gathered around and
informed tho Constablfl that thsy "were fully
armed and organized, and . that they
would not allow any anrests to be made
there. He announced his determination to
take the prisoners, and told the negroes it
would be best for them not to interfere with
Birr. He called upon several told darkies,
who appeared disposed to allow the law to be
enforced peaceably, to assist him, and they
did so. The two prisoners wero secured and
placed in a boat and brought to this city. A
gan<* of negroes foliqwud all the way m an
other boat, andmmong them were m Charles
Briley and Toney Brbwn, who had been the
ringleaders of the pflfty which interfered with
the officers. Mr. Barthelmess took his pns-
oners, Stewart and Jefferson, before Justice
Marsh, who committed them to jail, on charges
of riot, and threatening the life of Mr. Wala-
bur“. Soon after, he met the other two, Wiley
and"Brown, in the street, and arrested them
also. They were likewise committed to jail
by Justice Marsh, for resisting and interfering
with an officer.
Death of a* Worth* Colored Man.—
Many of our readers will learn with sincere
sorrow that Francis McNeil, a well-known
colored citizen of Savannah, died dost night,
from hemorrhage of the lungs, after a brief
illness The deceased was a worthy man, an
honor to his race, and a sincere friend of the
whites. Amiable, obliging, honest and indus
trious he enjoyed the confidence and
kind ’regard of all who knew lnm.
Possessing more than - ordinary
share of natural ability, taking a deep
interest in the welfare of his race, ana ar-
dently desiring to promote the peace and
prosperity of thejcoinmunity m which he hved,
he took an active part in the late political
campaign, giving Ins efforts and bis influence
to Conservatism. In his death his own race
have lost a worthy example, of honesty and
fidelity, and the whites a sincere friend.
Trig faneral will take place on Friday morn
ing at ten o’clock, when many wfio knew and
appreciated his character will testify their re
spect for his memory.

[COMMUNICATED. ]
Savannah, Dec. 15, 1868.
Messrs. Editors: One who has some interest
in that portion of the city known as Yama-
craw, craves a small space in your columns,
to call the attention of the “City Fathers” and
oijr efficient Fire Department to the condition
of affairs in that benighted region. On last
Sunday morning a fire broke out in this lo
cality, and some ten or eleven houses were
consumed before a drop of water was used to
slop its onward progress; indeed, the devour
ing element had proceeded in its work of
destruction to its utmost limits, before our
efficient department was ready to give it bat
tle, although this organization claims to be
“always ready" for any emergency. I do not
desiie to find any fault with the members of
this organization for their tardiness, for I am
aware they can offer several excuses. The
time the fire occurred was at that hour when
all were in profound slumber; the night was
bitter cold; and there was no doubt great
difficulty in procuring horses to haul their
apparatus’ ah of which tended to delay their
tinely arrival.
lVuat a, w common with other property-
holders of Yamacraw, desire to bring to the
notice of the authorities, is the destitute con- .
dilion of the apparatus in that locality for
preserving their property from fire. We have
an engine with a few feet of hose, not enough
by one-half that we should have. This en
gine was at the fire and could have done good
service had there been hose enough to con
nect with the nearest hydrant, or to reach
from the canal to Oie fire; but there she re
mained, idle, for a’ length of time, because no
hose was to be had. At a meeting of the De
partment last week, "a resolution wan offered to
repair the engine and engine-house of No. 7.
Some opposition was made to the measure
upon the ground that the party opposing did
not wish to put the city to any expense for
the colored companies. This may do
very well to suit the caprices of the
Department in obliterating all vestiges of
the old ‘‘Savannah Fire Company,”
with whom the present Department, for
efficiency, cannot commence to compare,’but
is not at all satisfactory to the property hold
ers and tax-payers in that vicinity. Give us
a good hand engine and plenty of hose, and
we will feel independent of the “steam fire
squirts." We pay taxes for these things and
demand them. We have unfortunately no
one to represent ns at the Board of Aider-
men, but hope that there is surely one among
the members who will insist that onr engine
honse, which is falling down, be repaired,
and the engine (which is a good one) put in
first rate order, and supplied with sufficient
hose to make her available at fires in that
region. We will find strong arms enough to
w’ork her; whether they be white or black, or
both, it will not matter to ns.
We pay taxes, and have little or no police
protection, and where, too, the police are
most needed- Qifr section is only partially
lighted with gas, and we trust and pray that
we will not be left without an engine anffa
few feet of. hose to protect onr property from
conflagration. Give these to us, and the Fire
Department and the City Fathers both will
be ever prayed for by the
Yamacrawians.
The Wharves.—Our wharves just now pre
sents the appearanoo of a thriving commer
cial .city. From east to west, along the river
front, the vessels extend, in continuous line,
two abreast at every wharf: Under the bluff
there is always activity during the day; and,
although cotton does not come in very brisk,
still there is enough moving to give life and
activity to commercial circles. The steve
dores and draymen appear to have plenty to
do; and the river, whioh a few months ago
presented a very dull appearance, bustles
with life and activity.
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Stock.—We
call special attention to the advertisement of
a few shares of the above stock wanted by
Capt ©. R. Dillon, Broker, No. 4 Whitaker
street
The Steamship Leo.—The Leo sailed for
New York yesterday, heavily loaded. A por
tion of her cargo consisted of 844 bales of up
land cotton and 14 bales of sea island..

SOXiTJBLE
PACIFIC GUANO!
CAPITAL $1,000,000.
rpHIS GUANO DIFFERS from PERUVIAN GUANO
X simply in the RELATIVE PROPORTION of the
SAME elements of fertility.
Its use during the past four years for the culture oi
COTTON and com, has given to it a character for
standard excellence unsurpassed by genuine Peruvian
Guano, and when seasons of drought intervene, it
produces a large increase of crops.
The price at which this Guano is placed is so much
below that of Peruvian Guano as to constitute it an
object of material importance to Southern agriculture.
The large capital and resources of the Company ena
ble it to furnish a Guano of the highest value at the
lowest possible cost to consumers, and the highest in
terest of the Company is recognized in this policy.
The Company looks to large sales, small profits and
a permanent business for -compensation on capital
invested.
D. St. Julian Ravenel, of South Carolina, is Scien
tific Director of the Company, which affords a sure
guarantee of the continued excellence of the Guano.
