sprained by the fall, one of his arms severely
bruised and hi** face cut. When his head

respectable manner. The track was in fine
condition, the recent rains having beaten
it down, and it had also been well rolled,
preparatory to the contest. The afternoon
was one of the finest with which we have
been blessed for some time, and. appeared to
have been famished especially for the occa
sion.
THE ENTRIES.
The entries for the. race were as follows:
D. F. Ward names-g. m. Mattie; W. T.
Borchl names b. m. Lucy Long; R. Flynn
names b. p. Brick Pomeroy. The contest
was for a purse of $250—fifty dollars to go
to the- second horse. Mile'-heats, best three
in five, to harness.
THE FIRST HEAT.
The race was announced to come off at two
o’clock, but it was considerably past that hour
before they were brought upon the track.
Finally they made their appearance, looking
splendidly. Lucy Long and Mattie appeared
to be favorites, the general opinion being
that Lucy would win the race by superior
bottom. Mr. Geo. S. Owens, Mr. J. M. B.
Lovell and Dr. J. D. Fish acted as judges,
and Mr. Wm. Neyle Habersham, Capt Mc-
Lelland and Col. Nickerson as time keepers.
After being allowed a little time for exercise
the hoTses, which were driven by those who
entered them, were called up, and the choice
of position announced—Brick Pomeroy in
side, Mattie second and Lucy Long on the
outside. They were then ordered to score
for the first heat. After one or two attempts
the horses had a good, even start, and away
they went like the wind—Brick Pomeroy
leading, with Mattie following close alter,
and Lucy Long third. At the first turn Lucy
broke badly; the pony put his “best foot
foremost,” and made a gap of twenty or thir
ty feet between himself and Mattie, while
Lucy was about the same distance in the rear
of the gray mare. She commenced closing
this gap steadily, bnt when half way around
the track she broke again, and lost all she
had gained. The horses maintained the same
positions around the track, and came down
the home stretch in gallant style, the pouy
leading, Mattie second, and Lucy last. —
The first half-mile was made by the
pony in 1.2QJ, by Mattie in 1.23, by
Lucy in 1.25. At the first turn after pas
sing the stand Lucy made another bad
break; the pony increased the distance be
tween himself and Mattie, which the mare
had lessened somewhat. Lucy came down
to her work a little, and the pony, who
was far ahead, made a slight break, which
threw him back a little, but he soon recovered.
Near the third turn Lucy broke again, and
fell so far behind as to stand chance of being
distanced. On the third stretch they came
up stragling, the pony ahead, Mattie fol
lowing, and Lucy Long last. Lucy came
near being distanced on this heat, which was
won by Brick Pomeroy, in 2:441.
THE SECOND HEAT.
On the second heat the horses occupied the
same positions as previously, and again made
a good start. At the word the poney shot
ahead, with Mattie following, and Lucy last
in the raee. The contest became close
and exciting on this heat Lucy gained
steadily upon her competitors, and Mattie
did her best to get ahead of the pony,
who held his own gallantly. Lucy gained
on Mattie, and pushed the gray mar@
prett3 r hard, but she kept her position. The
horses passed the distance pole", and came
down the home stretch beautifully, the pony
ahead, with Mattie qnd Lucy close at
his heels. The first half mile was made by
Brick Pomeroy in 1.21?; and away they went
upon the last half. The pony continued his
lead, and increased the distance between
himself and Mattie. The contest between
the latter and Lucy Loug now became the
most exciting part of the heat. Lucy came
up abreast of the gray, and both of them
gained upon the pony, who manifested some
disposition to break, but kept down to his
work. Lucy bjoke; when near the third
turn, and lost a little, but scrag regained her
old place. Down the home stretch the race
was one of tho prettiest ever witnessed. The
three homes were very close together, bat
Brick came in winner of the second heat, in
2.47. Mattie and Lucy, were neck and neck,
bnt the judges decided" the former to have
been a little ahead, wfien tfie line was crossed.
THE third HEAT
The horses made two false starts, and the
judges announced that tiiey must go the next
time, no matter what thgir positions migjht be.
When tirey came np the pcijy anfi Lucy were
about even, but ’Siattie was some distance in
the rear. The word was given, however, and
the horses went off for the third trial. It
was the general opinion that this heat would
be won by Lucy, and she did make a strong
effort to secure it. The race became a very
close one. The pony had tl}0 lead, bnt Luc y
gained upon him gradually, and the two
were nearly abreast, when Lucy broke, near
the third turn. Mattie brought up the rear,
but gained, somewhat upon Lucy. In this
order they came docyn the home stretch, the
pony making the first half-nple ip 1.22 j. On
the second half,' Lucy broke at the first turn,
and the pony opened a wide gap between
himself and the mars. About the quar
ter stretch, the pony showed symptoms
of breaking, but was kept clown to a
steady trot, with Lucy gaining on
him quite rapidly. The distance pole
was passed, and the raee down the home
stretch, was a very fine Ofie. The heat was
taken by Brick Pomeroy iii 2.4ffj. Near the
judges’ stand Alattie’ and Lucy both broke,
and Lucy came in seefind. 7 '
The award of fhe race was then made to
Brick Pomeroyi be Baying taken three straight
heats. Time-2.44 j, 2.47, .2.4Cj. The judges
first announced tlint Mattie was considered
the second best horse,, she haying come j in
second on two heats; but objection was made <
on the ground that the last heat should de
cide that question, and the judges, after con
sulting authorities, revoked their previous
decision, and annohnoed YiUcy Long ns win
ner of the fifty dollars,’ she having come in
second on the last’heat. The termination of
the race in favor of Brick Pomeroy was a sur

Dear Sir: I respectfully submit the follow

the work on the line of road for your Infor-
mation:
On the. “main line” the grading, clearing,
and grubbing ffrom Savannah to the Isle of
Hope is finished. The bridging on this line
is also finished, with the exception of one
r a drain and sixty feet of trestle work at
Isle of Hope marsh.
On the White Bluff branch, which is in
cluded between the fire mile poston the main
line, and the terminus on White Bluff, all
the grading, clearing, grabbing and bridging
has been finished up to the east bank of the
marsh bordering on the Vernon River. The
grading has been extended three hundred
and fifty feet, and the trestle work nine hun
dred feet over this marsh, leaving still to be
constructed about thirteen hundred feet of
trestle work, and the Vernon River bridge to
complete the sub-structure to White Bluff
By order of the Board of Directors, I have
authorized the contractors to discontinue the
work on the white Bluff branch in order that
they may commence at once the construction
of the street railway through Whitaker street,
for which they have contracted with the Com
pany.
They are now making arrangements te
commence the latter work, which will be done
as soon as the necessary, materials can be ob
tained. I am, sir, very respectfully,

Funeral of Francis McNeil.—The fu
neral of Francis McNeil, a notice of whose
death was published in the Mornino News,
of Thursday last, took place from his late
residence, in Robertsville, at 11 o’clock yes
terday morning. When the privilege of suf-
rage was conferred upon the colored people,
and Radical emmissaries were sent out here
to gain influence among them, McNeil took
a decided stand in favor of having his peopl e
support the whites, whom they had always
known, and against their being led astray by
carpet-baggers and scalawags. At the last
two elections he did yeoman service, for the
success of the Democratic ticket He trav
eled about through the country, peaking to
his people and organizing clubs, and was a
faithful and zealous co-worker with the
white people.
His funeral yesterday morning was very
largely attended. There were about one hun
dred and fifty white gentlemen present, and
a very large number of colored persons. Rev.
Mr. Landrum conducted the religious servi
ces at the house, and delivered a very appro
priate and feeling address. The body, neatly
attired in black, was placed in a handsome
coffin, and conveyed to the colored cemetery,
where it was laid in the grave. The white
and colored citizens generally joined in the
funeral procession, and the following mem
bers of tho Young Men?’ Democratic Club act
ed as pall bearers: Col. Wm. W. Nicholls, Geo.
W. Wylly, Esq., Capt. George A. Mercer, J.
C. McNulty, Henry R. Christian, Dr. Thomas
Smith, WUliam Swoll, and Waring Russell.
Beneath a rough exterior deceased carried
a generous heart. He was well regarded
among his own people for many acts of kind
ness to them; and the white people have not
forgotten, nor will they ever forget, that in
the hour of their need, he was one of the
few who came forward nobly, and battled for
the rights and best interests of his native
land. The expenses of the funeral were
borne by the Democratic Club, whose mem
bers deeply regretted the occasion, and felt
that it was but a sorry return for McNeil’s
hard work in times past. He did his dnty
while he lived; may Ins reward be great.

Savannah Fort Socletjh-An Appeal ttt
the Public.
The Board of Managers of the Savannah
Port Society respectfully appeal to tfie public
for pecuniary assistance Jto enable the So
ciety to accomplish the objects of its organ
ization. • - ‘i
Never since the organization of this So
ciety, 21st November, 1843, have the friends
of the sailor been called upon to. exert them
selves infhis behalf; as at the present. By the
increasing commerce of Savannah a greater
number of seamen than ever before will
doubtless be in port during this season.
The noble-hearted sailor is as capable of
appreciating a work of love in his behalf as
any other person; bnt often, for want of that
sympathy and well directed effort to promote
his welfare, many have been constrained to
say—“No man cares for us except while we
have money.”
Gratitnde to the sailor, for the services he
has rendefed in bringing to our homes,
through toil and hardships from foreign and
domestic ports, the necessaries, comforts and
luxuries of life, as well as the wealth added
to our State by commerce, to say nothing of
the higher consideration of what is due from
us as a Christian community to those less
blest in point of spiritual privileges than our
selves, should prompt the friends of seamen
to make special and continuous efforts to pro
mote their happiness and usefulness, by draw
ing around them, as far as possible, the re
fining and elevating influences of home, and
by bringing them under the ministrations of
the Gospel. Such efforts have beta made in
former years.
Nor have those efforts been in vain, al
though the congregations at the Bethel have
been necessarily changeable from the charac
ter, as well as the occupation, education and
sympathies of seamen, yet much good has
been accomplished, and many have been
brought to a knowledge of the troth, through
the labors of the Society’s chaplains in form
er years. Returned seamen have, on frequent
occasions, stated that “the influence of troth
and prayers listened to in the Bethel have
followed ns while at sea, and whenever be
yond the sea; and we fiave come back with
thankfnl hearts, that our feet were turned to
the testimonies °f the Lord when we were
here months ago.”
Through the benevolence of Josiah Pen-
field, a neat and substantial Bethel was erect
ed on Bay street, in this city, in the year
1831, and is now held by this Society as trus
tee. By the providence of God, you are called
upon to spare a portion of your means to
maintain regular services in this building—-
it stands as a monument to the memory of Pen-
field. Will the friends of seamen help us to
keep the door open and its pulpit supplied?
’Most of the early and active friends of .this
laudable Christian enterprise have gone to
their reward. It becomes us, to wbom they,
have left it os a sacred trust, not to suffer it
to languish and die upon onr hands, but to
rouse ourselves to new and more earnest,
efforts than ever to push forward the good
work with vigor, so that our Bethel may in
the future, as in the past, prove a blessing to
many.
A liberal appropriation which has lately
been made by the American Seamens’ Friend
Society, New York, should greatly encourage
us to expect the cordial and hearty aid and
co-operation of every friend of the sailor.
Rev. Richard Webb, who has been ap
pointed chaplain, commenced his labors on
the 10th November ultimo. His whole
time is being devoted to the religions inter
ests of seamen visiting the port of Savannah,
as will appear from his first month’s report
published a few days since.
Mr. Webb has been authorized to call upon
the citizens for their contributions in behalf
of the seamens' cause. We cordially com
mend him to your liberality.

James Morton, a soldier of the Army of
Occupation in Georgia, while exercising his
privilege as a fighting man of the “ best gov
ernment that the world ever saw,” to get
drunk as a loot, was arrested by a policeman,
for whose authority he had a supreme con
tempt, which led him to resist the arrest.
Per consequence, he secured for himself a
damaged cranium, his scalp proving too ten

The Theatre.—There was a large audience
at the Theatre last evening, to witness the
Daughter of the Degiment, a charming little
English opera, transformed into a drama, In
praise of the performance we cannot: say
much-—it ’.yr,3 not the performance that it
might have been. The plays have been bet
ter every nigTit this week. As an opera, the
Daughter of the Seginient is good; as a play,
very poor. Djve'sjt'ed of its mgsio, it is noth
ing. Mr. Watkins made •'Guilotte,” who is
in lovei consequently sentimental, a sett of
comic character. Mrs. Watkins appeared as
“Josephine,” and sang several songs very
prettily; but the effect was not increased by
kneeling to sing. The music would fiave
have been far more nrefrrahle divested of all
“staginess,” Jfr. Sfiftou did well as {fie bluff’
old “Sffrgeunt;” it was an excellent piece of
acting. Mrs: Cole was not near as good as
usual. Miss Bettie Gray, as the “Duchess
de Grautcte,” ’Was fietter than usual. Mr.’
Harrison' and is$f. Reese were good-
The aftel-pfeSe, It lakes y f\ee> to Quarrel,
was far better.' Mr. Watkins came oat strong,
as did also bis talented wife, and the audience
enjoyed tfie farce.
This evening the drama. of The Hidden
Hand will be produced.

An Old Nuisance Revived.—It was for
merly the oustom during the Pope Satrapy,
to fire a gun at the Oglethorpe Barracks in
this city, to announce to the sun that His
Gracious Majesty, with “Headquarters in the
Saddle,” would permit him (the sun) to rise
and set over fiis' dominions A piece-of ord
nance was used for the purpose too heavy al
together to be discharged in the centre af the
city. Finally, the nuisauoe was ^ba.ted oiler
all the window panes in that section had been
shattered, URd a number qf nervous women
frightened out of wf senses. Lately it has
been revived, and is as great a nuisance as
formerly. We hope that it will be abated, as
it certainly is of no good, and the gun is en
tirely too heavy for such use.
