i the closing scene Mr. Jefferson, by his
Kimingly unstudied and quiet humor, held

when, by his hue touches of natural pathos,
aspired them almost unconsciously with
leeper emotions. If the true test of liistri-
iiiic art is to disguise art so that it shall pass

reat actor: for the Rip Van Winkle of last
light would have seemed as much iu place

rilds of the Catskill Mountains, as on the
tage.

An Appeal to the Citizens of Savan

In connection with the visit of Bishop
Quintard to Savannah in behalf of
THE UN'JVIBSITY OF TUB SOUTH,
w o beg to say a few words explanatory of
the condition and claims of that Institu
tion, andjasking for it the aid of our citizens.
We people of Savannah hare a special inter

application of the Chamber of Commerce in and lamented townsman, Bishop Elliott, was

yesterday’s News) '\as submitted and
motion was received.
The Committee on Streets and Lanes made
a report in reference to a consultation with
the City Attorney and Surveyor, regarding
the conduct aud management of tho Street
Railroads, and the state of the tracks.
’1 he City Surveyor recommends that
tiio portion between the rails be paved
and the question was whether the city or
railroad company bear tho oxpense. City
Attorney was of the opinion that the work
would have to be done by the city, as he
could find nothing in the charter of the
companies requiring them to repair and
place crossings at the streets, but that the
c >mpanies should bo compelled to keep the
track up to the proper grade. In regard to
the condition of the track on West Broad
and Bay streets, it was recommended that
tne compan} 8 be given notice at once to put
the road iu tho condition required by their
charter. Received.
ORDINANCE.
An ordinance to authorize the erection of
wooden buildings east of Lincoln street and
west of Jefferson, north of Bay and south
of Anderson street. Ordinance on its sec
ond reading.
APPLICATION.
Tho petition of Joseph Galiie by his at-
b >ruey, John O. Fcrrill, in reference to the
injustice done him in report of Market
Committee, and praying that the balance
due him on his contract be paid.
Mr. Ferrill was present, and made a few
explanatory remarks in regard to the causes
of the delay in completing the work.
The Chairman stated that tho report of
the Market Committee, recommending that
Mr. Gillie be not paid, bad been referred to
tho City Attorney. Mr. Ferrill remarked
that by his request the papers had been
sent in, and the Clerk read the report of the
Market Committee alluded to.
By permission of the Board several ques
tions in reference to the matter were asked I ing with the truest moral culture. Topatri
Mr. Halite by Alderman Schwarz to »how | otic pride, philanthropy addsjta force, for
tiiat full notification had been given the
wide domain. "This is a magnificent
estate—owned in fee simple—of ten thousand
acres, lying on the Cumberland plateau, and
is surpassed'by no spot in the South in nat
ural attractions, healthfulness, convenience
of access, aud fitness as a place of educa
tion.
For two or three years after the war the
University lay in desolation. Its friends
were too busy iu repairing their own losses
to resuscitate the University. But the object
was not forgotten, and in September, 1868.
temporary buildings were erected, with
money obtained in England, and the gchool
was reopened with but nine students. After
four years' work, the higher classes have
cutere i upon the collegiate course with a list
of two hundred and thirty scholars and a
Faculty of thirteen professors. This is a
wonderful growth in four short years; but
to make the experiment a success, tho Uni
versity needs a broader and firmer founda
tion. An endowment of
HALF A MILLION OF DOLLAB8
is wanted to make it independent of contin
gencies aud uncertainties.
For this purpose Bishop Quintard, of Ten
nessee, has been appointed to canvass the
Southern States for donations, subscriptions
and endowments. He has just been through
South Carolina, and her people, in the midst
of peculiar poverty and trial, have given
*.'10,000. Of tiiis amount Charleston furnish
ed $15,000. And now the Bishop, thus cheer
ed, comes to Georgia aud begins his work in
Savannah. Will not our citizens, out of their
abundant means, give him $10,000?
How shall contributions be made? Iu va
rious ways, to wit: tho convenience and
ability of the giver.
First. Cash donations.
Second. Yearly subscriptions of any
amount.
Third. Promissory notes, maturing in five,
ten or twenty years, with interest semi-an
nually, and these notes subject to any rea
sonable provisoes that may be stipulated;
or,
Fourth. The founding of a scholarship,
which shall/orecer educate and support one
student. In anv one of theso modes the
willing heart and the liberal hand may help
to build up a grand university, which shall
be au educator of the mind and a conserva
tor of the morals, the social life and the re
ligion of our people.
The necessity of an institution like this is
imperative, if our children are to be educa
ted at home. Such a school as the “Univer
sity of the South ” will become, if its plan is
developed, does not exist iu the States south
of Virginia. It will be an infinite honor and
blessing to our Southern communities, if
they can build up au educational institution
that shall blend th highest intellectual train-
TLj sermon was replete with eloquence
aud practical good sense, and was listened
to with the deepest attention by the congre
gation.
The Bishop took for his text a verse from
‘ the parable of the pounds.” After showing
the material difference between this para
ble and “the parable of the talents,” he took
up the characters here presented. When the
lord was going on his journey to obtain his
kingdom, he delivered to each of his three
servants a pound as capital to make use of
according to their ability in his ab
sence for his benefit. After obtaining
the Kingdom he returned and called his ser
vants up to give an account of their steward
ship. The first, with his pound had gained
ten pounds, and was by the Lord commend
ed highly for his thrift, and was “made mas
ter over ten cities.” The sesond had gained
with his pound five pounds, and was also
commended highly by the Lord and
“made master over fiv* cities.” The
third had done nothing—simply noth
ing—he had a poor excuse. He knew
his master to be an austere man, gathering
where he had not strewn, and reaping
where he had not sowed. Therefore he had
wrapped his master’s pound in a napkin and
laid it away against his coming, and now he
simply restored that which his Lerd had
entrusted to his keeping—nothing more,
nothing less. Out of his own mouth was ho
judged, aud out of his own mouth was he
condemned. His Lord ordered that his
pound be taken from him and given to him
who had the ten pounds, “For unto him
that hath shall bo given, and from him that
hath not shall be taken away, even that
which he hath.”
Here the eloquent divine drew lessons
analogous from every day life, which were
exceedingly plain and practical. Wo wish
every person in the city, and particularly
tho young men and young ladies, could have
heard him. His ideas of thrift as a ground
work of success were truly brilliant. Thrift
in secular concerns. Thrift in Spiritual con
cerns arc required by the word of God of
every individual in order that they may be
“mado masters over many things” in His
Kingdom. It is a fearful thing to die, is the
idea of many people, but practically it is a
far more fearful thing to live. It is the last
opportunity of every man's life that damn
his soul and racks his mind with terrors un
known and unrealized before in the hour of
death.
We regret we are unable to give the in
teresting and instructive discourse in full,
as wo are confident it would be perused gen
erally and with benefit to our readers.
He will preach, as announced in another
column, in Trinity Church to-night, and we
would advise our readers by all means not
to lose the opportunity of hearing this able
and distinguised divine.

The Building Committee submitted seve
ral plans, for the projected Home and Chap
el, of a very comprehensive and extensive
character, presented by architects Sehwaab
and Grant. The Society considered that tho
plans offered involved too great an outlay,
the estimated cost of some being as high as
$40,000.
A discussion ensued in regard to the plans,
aud the sense of the meeting seemed to be
favorable to tho erection of a largo Home
on West Broad street, with a department
set aside for Chapel services, and appropri
ately constructed. It was supposed that a
building of this character could bo erected
at a cost of $25,000.
At prosent the available funds of the So
ciety amount to #22,000, including the legacy
of Miss Cooper.
A committee was appointed to confer with
W. Duncan, Sr., in relation to the bonds of
the Cooper legacy.
A letter was received from tho Secretary
of American Seamen’s Friend Society of
New Yoik, transmitting $50 as a monthly
contribution to tho Chaplain’s salary.
A letter was read from Mr. Marquand,
formerly a merchant of this city, but now of
New York, tendering a donation of $1,000 to
the Society, and expressing deep interest in
the worthy cause.
Some other business of a private nature
was disposed of and the meeting adjourned.

Important to Tobacco .Mercliants.
A decision of considerable importance
to the tobacco trade has just beeu ren
dered by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. The Commissioner, in reply
to a question as to “ whether tobacco
stamped at 32 cents per pound under
the old law is entitled, .when exported,
to a drawback of 12 cents, or only 20 cents
per pound, the present tax, and whether it
makes any difference in what district the
tobacco was stamped,” says that under the
provision of the act of June 6, 1872, a draw
back for such tabacco will be allowed to the
full extent of the stamps affixed, and that it
is not material as to the district in which the
tax has been paid. The effect of this ruling
is regarded as very favorable to tobacco
dealers, especially the jobbers, as in dispos
ing of their old stock they will be entitled to
the drawback on 32 cents a pound, and in
laying in their new stock will be subjected
only to the tax of 20 cents a pound.

For some days past, while passing along

Who will be the next Mayor ? At some cor

discussions are indulged in after dark.
The names of Dr. Walsh, Hon. Solomon
Cohen, Hon. E. C. Anderson and Dr. J. J.

am' reliably informed that many citizens ol*
foreign and native birth suggest the name of

into consideration matters connected with
the financial affairs of the city, iif the pro

day morning in the office of Col. Thomas H.

measures were discussed of a preliminary
character. It is understood that the com
mittee will make a report upon the subject
in a day or two, but whether favorable or
not to issue we were unable to learn, the
committee not being willing to make tbei
deliberations public at this time.
Nosing Around.
We are informed that a refined Revenue
agent is prowling around this city lookinj
up irregularities in liquors, stamps on cigars
and medicinal preparations, Ac. What is
the use of this sneaking business? Why
not act openly and above board, and when
it is advisable call upon a merchant aud re
quest to see his books or stock as required
by law—not act a£ though our merchants
were a class of thieves and swindlers. Any
thing but a spy—but then these informers
get paid hv the “best government” for tiiis
nosing around. As unjust and oppressive
as some of the Federal laws are, there is
less violation of them in this section than in
the highly moral vineyard across the line.
Compliment to Victorious Amateur
Boatmen.
The Couper Boat Club held a meeting at
their rooms yesterday afternoon, during
which quite an interesting incident took
place. This was the presentation of a fine
gold medal to the Messrs. Schleys and G. G.
Kimball, tho crew of the “Alice,” which was
victorious in the first day’s regatta of the
National Amateur Regatta Race under the
auspices of the Schuykill Association at
Philadelphia in June last. Tho presentation
was made by Mr. Julian Myers, and received
by Mr. James Schley in appropriate style.
The occasion was one very pleasant, and
was, we understand, entirely unexpected to
the recipients.
Siiilili-u Dcalliofan Estimable Lady.
We regret to chronicle this morning the
suddeu death of a most estimable aud well
known lady, Mrs. Josiah Tattnall, widow of
the late Commodore Tattnall, which oc
curred at the residence of Mrs. Hertz, on
Orleans square, corner of Barnard and Mc
Donough streets.
We learn that yesterday morning about
7 o'clock, whilst making her toilet for break
fast, Mrs. Tattnall complained of a severe
pain in tho chest and shoulders, and was
compelled to lie down. She apprehended
nothing serious, and thought it would pass
away in a few minutes, but her daughter,
who was in the room, became alarmed and
summoned several of the lady occupants of
the house. The pain increased, and a phy
sician was sent for, the ladies in the mean
time doing all they could to relieve her, but
without avail, aud she expired in about half
an hour. Mrs. Tattnall was a Miss Franklin,
a native of Now York, but had been for
many years a resident of this city. Although
greatly advanced in age, she had enjoyed
unusually good health, and had not been
known to complain of indisposition in some
time. Her death will be mourned in a large
circle of friends and acquaintances, in
which she was warmly beloved and esteemed.
It is supposed that her death was caused by
heart disease.
Fire Keminisceiicc
On the ICth day of January, 1820, fifty-
three years ago, occurred the largest lire
which ever ravaged this city. It commenced
on the east side of old Franklin Ward, and
spread in every direction. Four hundred
and thirty-six buildings were destroyed, be
sides out buildings, aud the loss amounted
to over $4,000,000.
The first destructive fire which ever oc
curred in Savannah, was in November, 1769.
It was first discovered in a bakery in Market
square, aud extended so rapidly that in less
than seven hours two hundred and twenty-
nine houses and other out buildings were
destroyed. Loss estimated at $1,000,000.

Tlie Military.
Our different volunteer organizations are

the grand parade on Monday next. Drilling
has become a nightly duty with some of the

soldiers, perfectneas in this feature may be
anticipated. Most of them have received
their arms and other equipments, and it is
now expected that nearly all the companies
will be uniformed in time.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards, fully
armed, uniformed and equipped, expect to
have a parade to-morrow (Friday) evening
on West Broad street, and will be inspected
by tho gallant commander, Major Basinger.

stated, as we have previously mentioned,
that the few Radical votes will be thrown in
favor of some of the “Independents” who
are expected to run and arc most acceptable
to them.

We had a call yesterday from our old irieiul
R. V. J W. Whipple, on his way to atn.nd the
General Conference of the M. E. Church South,
at Memphis. We called attention to the card of
Dr. Per'ions. wishing to kuo** in pes s -u from Jdro.
Wolpple aocn the strong recomiu.-:.datiou pub*
l:saed as from him. Le repeated that he ha l
certified only to what he personally knew; that
he had /eeu much 01 Dr. Pt races, and had wit
nessed the fact that he never turned away from
tho poor who aesired his services hut granted
them freely and without charge; that b*> g-ve hid
published certificate as a matter of duty, and
khouUl not reep* ct himself if he should shiiak
from testifylug to tne truth merely because many
were prejudiced agiinHt it.
. hose who ko' W this eminent preacher will
not hesitate to concede to h<m the utmost candor
au-l Uouesty, aud his evidence 1: favor of Dr.
Pcrson-i will make the D ctor irany faiends.
While Brc. Whipple was In the oliice, Dr. L. C.
1 hilhps of Dr an, also came in. He in a physi
cian of the Old School and a minister of the Cum
berland Prescy teria:. Church. Ue also ad-led his
testimony to thecurati* e power of Dr. Persons,
aud^repartd inourtffics ihe following certifi
cate for publication in the Telegraph :
Dr. MT. Persons treated my daughter about two
months ago for neuralgia and convulsions. Her
periodical sufferings for four or five years had
been suen that language cauaot describe them. To
this date the cure is perfect. L. O. Phillips.

Da Pebbons—I have suffered from spiLal weak
ness and prolapsus tor four year-. During the
first two years I could walk perhaps a hundred
yards with difficulty, but felt great iatigue from
any exerttoD. During the two last years I havo
been entirely unable to walk or sit up. The dis-
eise has been steadily progressing until I bo
ciine aim* st entirely para-yzed, b-ing unable to
take a step or sew, or even write my own name.
1 conld u-1 talk continuously or rea.: alond.
After the liret treatment of flfiuen minutes I
walked across the room three Hints; alter tbe
second I walked fifty yards, on the fourth day I
wa ked down stairs, aud on the fifth day I walked,
a mile. I think tin weakuew is entirely gone.
The treatment is pleasant aud certainly very ef
fective. I consider my cure as perfect aud must
wonderful. Yours, truly,
Annie F. Cochrane,
Wife of W. A. Cochrane, M. D., Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Tuscaloosa, Ala , Nov. 3,1867.
My wife had been a grea: nervous sufferer fiom
chronic diseases lor over eight. ears, and I had
a meat despaired of any relief. I carried her to
the Faculty at Philadelphia without any good re
sults. I placed her in ihe way of various medi
cal advisers among tbe Allopathiste, to no pur
pose. Hearing ot Dr. Persons, during last win
ter. I carried my wife to New Orleans, at which
point the Doctor wib then using his art to the
healing of many. After a short sojourn there,
my wile became, to a g r eat extent, reitevec. A
j *_>ar has almost passed, aud she is still lmprovir-g,
enjoys life, which before w vs a mere inquisition
—a condition of sufferance.
-he has a good appetite, performs well in her
domestic affairs has gamed twenty-five pounds
of flesh, and is, iude«d, a new w man.
Before this I spent a foitune to no purpose,
suffered tbe misery of suspense aud sympathy in
my wife’s ill health, and lost a good part of my
interest in life. Wil A. Rattle.
