The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad takes place on Wednesday, and onr information from the country is that it will be very largely attended. Our exchanges at Quit- man, Thomasville, and other points state that a great many have made their arrange ments for comiug, and among them will be a number of the country merchants. As Savannah draws a large trade from this sec tion, the importance will suggest itself to our merchants to avail themselves of the presence of so many of these interior mer chants by extending an invitation to them, through the columns of the Morning News, to call and inspect their stocks. The ad vantage of advertising at this time must be apparent to all, as the majority of the visi tors, whose stay here will be short, will de sire to make purchases. Especially will this be the case with the mercantile portion, who will use tbe occasion to replenish their stock. The Morning News has a large cir culation in Southwest Georgia, and its sub scribers will be largely represented at this meeting, hence advertisers will have au ex cellent opportunity of communicating di rectly with them and thus secure their cus tom.

There wili be much gratification felt among the lovers of good music in this city at the announcement that Do Murska, the Hungarian Nightingale, will give two of her excellent concerts in this city on the evenings of Monday and Tues day, February 15th and 16th. The company consists of Mile. lima De Mur«ka, the famous vocalist and operatic singer, who has created a furore in all tbe principal cities of Europe and the United States, both in opera and concert. The press of the large cities sav she has no equal as a singer. She is gifted with a most wonderful voice, and for brilliancy of execution she is unsur passed. Her voice possesses a most marvel ous compass, the high notes being particu larly clear and bird-like in tone, and she al ways garnishes her solos with a perfect wealth of them. Nearly all of her great solos have been arranged expressly for her, so as to afford her an opportunity to use her magnificent vocal organ to the fullest extent. The New York World, in a criticism of one of her concerts, says: “l’he operatic and in strumental moreau bore the impress of orig inality, harmony and musical art. lima de Mursk-t dazzles the audience with her mar velous compass and melifiuous tones. Sig. Ferranti's comic opera songs are sung with such gusto and action that, despite the lan guage, one becomes infected with his humor. Of Mme. Careno Sauret one cannot speak enough of praise. She has an ease and elegauje combined with the artistic power of au Arrabella Goddard, that enchain her listeners. * * * Of Big. Braga we can only say that he is the best violincellist who has appeared in New York within our recollection. Monsieur Sauret plays the violin with case and grace, and at once established himself as a favorite.” It will be at once evident to our music-loving citi zens that a great treat is in store for them; an sttraction of such excellence should ti l the hall to overflowing, and we have not the least doubt that it will be so. Savannah ChriNtian Association. The Savannah Christian Association held their regular monthly meeting last night at the Free School building, corner of Drayton and Charlton streets, President H. F. Train in the chair, and J. R. West acted as secre tary. The meeting was opened by Mr. Train, reading from the 8th Psalm. Rev. E. C. Gordon then lead in prayer, which was followed by singing the hymn: “Jesus, lover of my soul.” The regular routine of reading the min utes, etc., was then gone through, when eighteen new members were elected, aud the reports of the vaiious committees were received. Rev. Mr. McFirland, who had prepared an essay to read before the Association, being ill and unable to attend, Itev. Dr. McCul lough delivered a very interesting address on the work of Christianity .and the great good being done by the Christian Associa tions throughout the land. A communication was received from the Young Men’s Christian Association of Au gusta, asking that delegates be sent from tuis Association to attend the first annual meeting of the Christian Association of Georgia, which takes place in Augusta on the 11th iust., aud ou motion of Mr. A. P. Abel!, a committee of three,consisting of H. F. Train, President, Rev. E. C. Gordon aud Gen. Geo. P. Harrison, with three alter nates, were appointed. A letter was received from a lady of this citv enclosing titty dollars for the purpose of 'buying books for the Association, and upon motion the Secretary was instructed to tender her the thanks of the Association. A letter was also received from Messrs. Otto A Hubbard, tendering oue column of tho Weekly Register to the Association, to be devoted* to Sunday or select reading. There being no further business before the meeting it adjourned. The Savannah Theatre will be occupied to-night and to-morrow by Bordwell’s Mirror of Ireland, combined with the Panorama of the Franco-German War and Troupe of Fritz German Burlesque Bell IUugars, also a comedy company of groai excellence, who will represent in the inter ludes of the panorama, life in Ireland, giv ing an entertainment replete with songs, d&uces, humorous dialogue, and affording much amusement, with nothing introduced to offend ibo most fastidious. On Wednes day the troupe will give a grand matinee for schools and children, when the admittance will be reduced to 15 cents for children aud 25 cents for adults. All should bear in mmd that reserved seats purchased at Schre n- er*s book store before 12 o’clock to-day will be sold for 50 cents, after that hour at 75 cents, same as at night. Seats can also be purchased for Wednesday night, at the same up to 12 o’clock Weduesday. justifiable Homicide. Thfl case of Simon Moore, charged with the murder of James Keane 02 the Augusta road a short time since, was disposed of on Saturday bv Magistrate Bussell, who dis charged the" prisoner. The examination in the case was commenced last Wednesday, but owiDg to the absence of several wit nesses was postponed until Saturday, when some of them put iu au appearance. The pvidenco showed that the shooting was done in seif-defense, and Simon is once more a free man. Important to /rangers.

A finer day could not have been desired than that which dawned yesterday. The weather was bracing, tbe sunshine was bright and genial, and the community was on the qui vice for the approach of the maskers. South Broad street, selected as the assem bly gran ad, was thronged long before the hour announced for the gathering of the clans, which was 12 o’clock. Every door stoop, the windows of private residences, the Pavilion Hotel and the Chatham Acad emy were pictures of animated feminine loveliness, whilst the sidewalks and streets were almost impassable so dense was the crowd. Rich and poor, high and low, aris tocrat aud plebiau, white and black, of all ages and sizes, were josiled in one promis cuous heap, aud for ihe uonce Mate was forgotten, even on the boulevards of the high-toned city of Savannah. Shortly after twelve o’clock the votaries of Mourns began to assemble, and enthu siasm was at once infused into the crowd, which pressed forward for closer inspection of some fancy dressed cavalier, quaint old cracker, the* inevitable darkey or a bold knight, and in quizzing these, and laughing at the fantastic tricks some played, the time rolled merrily by until the entire force was ou the ground, and the procession moved off. The parade was most emphatically a success, aud though ut the beginning, so slow were the participants in arriving, we feared it would prove a failure, yet after the column was formed we must yield the dis play the ualm of exceeding oy far the ven tures of the previous year, and reward to the Schutzen Society, the originators of the cus tom in this citj, credit for the success which crowned their third attempt. The proces sion was headed by the mulligan guards, which, undoubtedly, was one of the best features of th9 display. The drum major was as pompous aud dignified as it was pos sible for the leader of such a baud to be, wh ist the captain was par excellence—the military officer of the day. The Guards themselves were huge; their tout ensernfjle coaid not have been surpassed; ev°ry varie ty of style was represented, and tactics were completely iguon d. Altogether, the Mulli gans may be pronounced a tramp card of the Carnival parade, aud great credit is due the captain for having organized such an efficient corps iu so short time. They created great mirth in the crowd, and elicited rounds of applause, whilst tho valiant members were blessed with the brightest smiles of the fair sex, not a few of whom waved their hand kerchiefs iu token of their appreciation of the.r splendid appearance. Hereafter the Mulligan Guards will be au institution in Savannah, and their parades will always be welcomed with pleasure. The procession was an amusing one, al though there were very few attempts at par ticular representation or design.' We may mention as the best of tbe latter “tee ogeechee coon,” who was voted by many the most capital hit in the parade. An old darkey, with griz- ly locks, a battered hat, and torn coat, and au oid gun, mounted on a bony white steed, with a sack for a saddle and minus bridle or baiter, leading two attenuated curs, which looked as though they had been starved for the occasion, by cable ropes, formed the pic ture—a picture so natural and not un fre quently seen iu tnis section, that smiles were elicited from tho most sombre. Who ever the party was, he certainly made a hap py hit in his conception, and has the con sciousness of knowing that he afforded in finite fun for the crowd. Next in the line was an open carriage, drawn by *wo horses, in which were seated two female characters and a masculine, (an tastically dressed. This carriage was orna mented with a huge placard, bearing the words iu printed letters, “Hard Times iu High Life, ’ su-posed to represent a party of tbe bon ton riding in a hired hack instead of their own conveyance, which was cer tainly an evidence of the effect of the lack of money in “high life.” “Bacchus,” tbe wine god, seated in a car riage surrounded by a juvenile court, pro fusely decorated with small flags, was also good. “Emperor William,’’with Princo Bismarck aud high Generals, rode in a carriage which was escorted by a noble body of Prussian soldiers, tho German flag flying at their head. This display was quite imposing, the representation of Kaiser William being par ticularly good. Then came “King Gambrinus’’ mounted on a throne in a wagon, and surrounded by dozens of kegs of lager beer, presided over by a genius iu striped muslin and fool’s cap. The Washington Cornet Band broke this part of the procession, aud took up the re frain from the magnificent baud of the Mulligan Guards. Following this band came a juvenile clown, well mounted, who was assiduously engaged in distributing an edict >1 His Imperial Majesty Felix, ordering his subjects to subscribe to his favorite journal, the Morning News. A v.Lgou occupied by. a party of “ Jolly Monks” engaged in playing cards, also at tracted attention. This representation was followed by characters of every conceivable kind, all mounted, among them the “ Fat Boy,” “ Indian,” “ Knights,” “ Darkeys,” “ The Waiter Girl,” a large femaie labeled lag* r beer, “Fools,” carr.ages with parties of four one representing Lord Dundreary ami his friends, and many others too nu merous to mention. A tailor’s shop was also represented, and was a good design woll carried out. A fiat drawn by four horses with covers labeled “Singer,” was occupied by six fine sewing machines, operated by as many f inale characters gaily arrayed. The wagon or flat as emblazoned with inscriptions, “What is home without a Singer,” “Buy a Singer,” Ac. The procession was closed by a couple of jolly darkies in a dump cart drawn by a forlorn ox. Tho parade was provocative of universal merriment, and tho procession was followed over the entire route by an immense crowd. When it made its appearance on Bay street there was a general rush for elegible posi tions, aud the Custom House steps from the top to the base was in a few minuties occupied principally by ladies and children. The scene was a beautiful one and should have been photographed. Tbe parade was dismissed about half past throe o'clock and tho participants dispersed, aud we may say that if their personal en joyment equaled that afforded to the hun dreds who witnessed their turn out, they assuredly had a good time. In the e euiug the celebration received its finale in a GRAND BAL MASqUE at the new Masonic Temple of the splendid ball, which was decorated in honor of the -ccasion. At the time we entered the hall, 1H o’clock, the merriment was at its height. The floor was so crowded that terpsichorean amusements had to be abandoned, and the heat was so great a general unmasking was necessitated before twelve o’clock. The variety of the characters precludes the men tion of them in detail, but we particularly noticed the “Huntress,” the “Daughter of tho Regiment,” the “Vivandiere,” the ‘ Drummer Girl,” “Night” and “Morning.” There were also princes and princesses, fac to y girls and ladies of fashion, negroes, crackers. Ac. The “Devil” was well repre sented by a geuial major. Tiie scene was quite picturesque, tbe varied and hand- sonio costumes oi the different characters forming a pleasing combination of colors. We have rarely seen a ball room which was the reflex of so much life aud animation. Hie affair was undoubtedly the grandest -ucccss yet inaugurated by the SMiutzen Society—a Society proverbial for the suc cess which attends all their efforts in the amusement line. About half-past eleven o’clock the com mittee app -iuted for the purpose announced that they had made their selections with regard to the best characters.and costumes 1:1 the hall, and were prepared to render their decision. The promenade was abandoned and all gathered in front of the stago, upon which was mounted the genial President of the 8chutzen Society, who was primed for the occasion and who was overflowing with elo quence as he stepped forward to deliver the priz- s, which were twenty-five in number. Ret e ensued a scene which defies descrip- t o i; many of the fortunate ones, who had been selected as worthy of a prize, grew exceedingly modest and desired to retire, but they were retained and compelled to go turough the ordeal. President Elsinger, in a very humorous address, which was replete with some capi tal hits at tho follies of the times and at the usurping tricks of the Radical cabal, called oce by one the blushing candi- 4 ates before him and presented each with prize. These prizes consisted of dolls, toy bed-room sets, jumping jacks, etc., and of course were disposed of with a due regard to riiis-appropriateness. This feature was lnghlv enjoyed, and the presentation created considerable amusement. After con- fering these honors, the President grace fully retired, aud the band, tuning up, launched forth a lively waltz, and soon the floor was filled with whirling couples, whose odIv thought or desire seemed to be “on with the'dance, nor tire till morn.” Bat dancing gives a zest to appetite, and it was not long ere many had temporarily abandoned the dancing hall to view the more pleasing scene which awaited them in the upper room, wlmre an elegant banauet was spread. The-g ubstautialjs discussed, there was a return to" the fiajl, apd the “musicians” were requested ty stop i > tip) front ?nd furnish the iuspiratioo. A merrier party ooujd scarce h&vo been gathered nor ono that more fully appreciated the enjoyments ot the occaaion. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present merely as specta tors and the gallery was orowded through out the evening. We saw enough to satisfy ns that tne Schutzen know how to get up a ball, and that everybody was having a good time, and we left toattend to other duties,when joyous- ness was at full tide. The ball was more largely attended than the previooa one, and i/tf a most assured success. *■' -A «*.*** ~ Gc to Hillyard Jt Stiliwtli’s ffi #QVfliie« In hats and furnishing goods. The Last Races To-Day—Pools, Ac. The meeting of the Savannah Jockey Club closes to-day, aud as the weather will be perfectly charming, from present indica tions, we expect to see a very large attend ance. The programme provides for three exciting races, iu all of which good horses are entered, and rare sport may be antici pated. The meeting has been unusually successful, and the last day should ba mark ed with special eclat. The trains to-day will bring iu many vis itors from the country to attend the stock holders’ meeting" of tbe Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, which will take place to morrow, and as they will desire to spend a pleasant afternoon, we recommend them to go to the races—they will certainly enjoy it. The weather is good, the t*-ack in splendid condition, the horses in excellent order, and several race3 will be run, includ ing a two mile dash over hurdles. Those who have never seen a hurdle race should not miss this opportunity, as the honors will be strongly contested for. They have two ways of reaching the race grounds, one hv the Augusta road, which is a delightful drive, the other by the railroad, train* leav ing the Central Railroad depot at convenient hours, and the fare is only 25 cents for the round trip. The 2:45 p. m. train will reach the track immediately before the commence ment of the first race. THE FROG RAM ME.

The following circular letter from the Rector of Christ Church, of this city, will be read with interest: Dearly Beloved in the Lord : Lent is again with us, calling us, by the extraordinary opportunities and helps it offers, to renewed and special efforts after personal holiness. The spirit of this solemn season is that of self-humiliation before God, on acconnt of one’s own sins and short-coinings; and also for the transgressions of the Church and the world. And accordingly a true Lenten observance involves the sincere and earnest exercise, by us all, of hearty contrition, con fession to God, special prayer and inter cession; and these (as ever iu the Church of God, from times of old), accompanied by stated religious “fasting.” And to assist us iu these holy exercises, aud to render them spiritually effective, the Church, at this season, wisely aud benevo lently invites us often to the house of prayer aud supplies us, for our use while there, with au appropriate penitential ritual, as well as plies us with special exortations aud aids to holiness, in multiplied sermons anJ lectures. This season is also peculiarly favorable to tbe awakening and conversion of the un godly in our midst—common prayer in their behalf, as also other special efforts for their benefit, being now put forth by the Univer sal Church, And so the Lenten season is to this C.lurch what protracted meetings and revivals (as they are termed) are to the de nominations around us; and, if rightly used, must ever (with God’s promised blessing) prove a most precious means of grace. This being obviously tru°, the willful neglect of Lent, or its perversion into a mere Pharisaic ceremonial, eau not but involve a corresponding and very perilous responsi bility. Accept, then, a few suggestions as to the due improvement of this Holy season. First—Let us begin it with prayerful and thorough self-examination, using for the purpose the Ten Commandments,our Lord’s Sermon on the Mouur, and the “Touchstone” in the communion service beginning, “Ye who do truly aud earnestly repent,” etc. S< cond—Let us endeavor to detect in this way our own besetting sin t and set ourselves to special efforts against it during this Len ten season. Third—Let us resolve to bo more earnest in onr private devotions, thrice daily. Fourth—Let us, when possible, * attend up »n tho public services of the church, coming thither with prayer, continuing ir; prayer while there, aud following up each service by meditati »n, ami with~pra\er for tho blessing of the Holy Ghost. Fifth—Let us praciice special self-denial for Christ’s sake, aud contribute the pecu- mtry results thereof iu alms and other holy offerings unto the Lord. S xth—Let ns single out certain of our unconverted friends and neighbors, and daily make special prayer for such, by name. Seventh—Let us lay aside our accustomed diversions, (as at this time inexpedient,) and set ourselves earnestly “this one thiucr to do”—“to grow iu grace and in the knowl edge of onr Lord aud Saviour Jesus Christ.” Aud, Finally, having begun well, let us not (as the season advances) “grow weary in well doing;” but let us “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as we know that onr labor is not iu vain in the Lord.”—1 Cor. xv., 58.

Reception of Young Ladies Into tho Re ligious Order. The Chapel of the Sisters of Mercy cn Liberty street was densely crowded last evening by persons of all denominations to witness the ceremonies attendant upon the conferring of the religious habit upon ten young ladies, the most of whom are natives and residents of this city. These ceremonies have been fully described in the Morning News previous occasions, and being f miliar to our readers it is needless here to g ve repetition. Right Rev. B.shop Gross officiated, as sisted by the Catholic clergy, and delivered au appropriate address, which deeply touched the feelings of the audience. The sight of ten young maidens voluntarily re linquishing the pi* astires and joys of the world aud assuming the onerous, self-s »cri- ficing duties of a Sisters of Mercy was enough to thrill any heart with € motion. The Ceremonies were quite impressive aud were rendered the more so by the exquisite music of the choir. At half-past six o’clock, the young ladies who had dedicated themselves* to tne ser vice, marched into the chapel in procession, headed by a beautiful young girl, bearing a large cross, aud escorted by a bevy of di minutive Misses, and followed by the Sis ters, each bearing a lighted candle. They were all, as is customary, most richly aud handsomely dressed in* white, and wore wreaths upon their heads with long white veils pendant, and their hair hanging upon their shoulders. This rendered the change that was to ensue so shortly the more imposing. They grouped iu a circle at the altar, the Sisters taluug seats in the front pews. After the Usual questions by the Bishop and responses, fol lowed by au address, the applicants retired, and in a few minutes re-appeared in the garb of Sisters, their glossy locks having been shorn, and the transformation so great that it was at first difficult to recognize them. The ceremonies were concluded by the Bishop presenting each with tho black belt and the rosary ana conferring their names in religion. The young- ladies who thus dedicated themselves to the holy work were: Miss Bridget Broderick, of Savannah; in religion. Sister Mary Ligouri. Miss Mary Kennedy, of Boston; in relig ion, Sister Mary Dolores. Miss Bridget Bergen, of Columbus; iu religion, Sister Mary DeOhantal. Miss Mary Black, of Savannah, daughter of Captain Black; in religion, Sister Mary Scholastics. Miss Kate Donelan, daughter of Mr. Peter Donelan, of Savannah; in religion, Sister Mary Elizabeth. Miss Margaret Halpin, of Savannah; in religion, Sister Mary Ursula. Miss Margaret Dolan, of Boston; in re ligion, Sister Mary of Lourdes. Mios Alice Farrell, of Savannah; in re ligion, Sister Mary Zita. Miss Josephine Bowe, of Boston; iu re ligion, Sister Mary Mecbtildes. Miss Annie Barrett, of New Jersey; iu re ligion, Sister Mary Camillas. The Allauilc and Gull Railroad. The announcement of the anuual meeting of the stockholders of the above named cor poration in this city on Weduesday (to-mor row), suggests to tho editor of the Albany Central City the propriety of saying a word in regard to the management and success of the road, which he does as follows : “There are few editors iu Georgia more fa miliar with the history of this road than our selves; and it is a pleasure to us to be able to testify that, to the present hour, we have never seen any t’ling connected with its man agement, iu any of its officers, aud especial ly iu those entrusted with its chief positions, to condemn. Tne character of the road, as well as its monetary aud business interests, has been guarded with a persistent anxiety aud vigilaucj,that,probably, has never been surpassed by the managers of any other similar public work anywhere. The hum blest official in the employ of the road, as well as its chiefs, have retained their posi tions only by faithful service and a strict observance of the principles of honesty and uprightness. We thus speak because we feel authorized to do so by au acquaintance witn tbe management of the road for many years. Colonel John Screven, its President since tho death of his lamented father, has no superior as a railroad President, probably, in the State. The multifarious embarrass ments aud difficulties with which he has had to contend since the war, and which mainly wore tho ;esults ot it—-directly, in the destruction of tho track an l ruuuiug stock of tho road, and the loss ot its means by the overthrow of the Currency in the downfall of the Confederacy—indirectly, by the impoverishment of the people and the consequent loss of business along the track, rendering it inadequate to meet the neces sary expenses of tbe roau—againpt whicD he has manfully and hopefully, not to say •heroically, stood, abundantly prove the justness of tbe encomiums we express. In deed, in our opinion, the State of Georgia can claim but oue John Screven, in whom concenters so many of the noblest and best qualities of our mental and moral nature. Not only is the Julf Road managed with con summate ability, as we herein represeut;but it has done more to develop the resources of Southern Georgia than all other agencies combined; and it probably has done as much to advauce the material interests ol the State as any other similar pub ic enter prise during the period of its existence. Doth the State and the people of the State, have been paid a thousand fold for the money aud labor expended upon if, not withstanding the prevailing figures repre senting tbe worth of its stock iu the market. The Atlantic aud Gulf Railroad has un doubtedly proven a great and magnificent success, which has been achieved mainly through the energy, resolution aud practi cal ability of Dr. James P. Screven aud his worthy successor who has controlled its des tinies since his decease. JURY EXEMPTIONS. Conference of City and County Authorities. A conierence of the city and county authorities was held in the room of the County Commissioners, over Col. E. C. An- lerson &. Co.’s bank, yesterday morning. The conference was held with closed doors, aud hence we are unable to give the particu lars of the deliberations. By the way, these secret sessions among thoso in authority are becoming quite frequent of late. Tho custom is somewhat novel in Savannah aud is likened by some lo “star chamber” proceedings. We had heard rumors of the action tako.i by this conference, but desiring to obtain definite information on the subject, applied to the venerable clerk of the Commissioners, Mr. W. H. Bullock, and were met with the reply that ho was not at liberty o enlighten us in regard to the matter. We are, therefore, compelled to give as news of interest to our read rs that which had by some means found its way into cir culation aud become, as it were, public property. We understand that there was present at this conference Commissioners E. C. Auder- <on, Jr., W. W. Paine and R. D. Walker, Mayor Anderson, Aldermen Arnold and Mc Mahon, and others interested. The report is that the question of jnry exemptions was discussed, aud that a reso lution was adopted requesting our Repre sentatives to pass a bill txempting fifty members each of the Chatham Artillery and Georgia Hussars, and repealing all other exemptions. Other matters were discussed of like im portance, but there beiug such reticence observed, it was difficult to get anything satisfactory. It is asserted, however, that Commissioner Paine recorded a protest against the adoption of the resolution, and will write a letter defining his position. It is rather remarkable considering tho fact tha’ the firemen are so interested in the jury exemption matter that the Chief ot the Department was not honored with an imi tation to be present. .Hatters and Tliinga Laconically Noted. No cases of particular interest before the Recorder yesterday. Thirty-one arrivals from along the Gulf Road at McConnell’s yesterday. Mr. John Smith was yesterday appointed by Sheriff Ronan as his deputy. A large number of the A. & G. R. R. stockholders have already arrived. When you go to tho races this afternoon don’t fail’ to bet on the winning horse. Judge Pottle will preside in our Superior Court on the 18th inst., exchanging with Judge Tompkins. The postponed concert of the choir of Trinity Methodist c urch will take place ou Friday evening, the 12th inst. At jthe monthly meeting of the People's Loan Association* held last evening, $3,000 were sold at 31 per cent, premium. Tbe target carrier of the Mulligan Gnarc* was recognized as Thunderbolt Tom, a colored individual not unknown to f&m a. A portion of tbe ceeling of the Citv Court room fell on Sunday night. That ceeling is goingto give us an item yet, if it is not doc tored. Nathaniel W. Lord, a well known young man of Charleston, committed suicide by shooting himself on Saturday. Pecuniary troubles tbe cause. The colored folks will try to raise money to erect a gallery in the First Bryan African Baptist Church by a supper at the Forest City Light Infantry Hall this evening. . John Henry, a colored youth, was arrested and sent to jail yesterday on the charge of till tapping. Henry was short of funds and went into a store in Yamacraw, where he a stracted six dollars and a half from the cash drawer, but was • Ictected by the pro prietor, who took him in out of the cold. The young man who represented th e Ogeechee Coon, with his dogs, the best hi* in the parade yesterday, is the same who officiated as tne wood sawyer in the last ]) trade, which character was then acknowl edge the beat. Superior Court. Judge Henbt B. Toot?kins, presiding. Court met yesterday at ten o’clock, and opened the February term. Several motions were disposed of. The following order was drawn bv instruc tion of the Judge : It is o -nsidered aud ordered by the Court that the Clerk of this Court do. on or be fore the 15th day uf February, 1875, make a full return of all monies that have come into the Clerk’s office from all fines and for feitures since the 1st of January, 1875, set ting forth iu detail the amounts, tbe penal ties, from whom collected, aud order or judgment under which collected. It is farther ordered that the Solicitor General do also make a like return of all monies in his hands which have *c >nvinto his possession since 1st January, 1875, by fines and forfeitures.

As the public are aware, there has been considerable dissatisfaction among the draymen of Savaun&h iu regard to the taxa tion imposed upon them. These gentlemen complain that the tax is excessive, as their business is only profitable about seven months in the year. Petitions have been ; resented to Council requesting a change in the* ordinance, the draymen expressing a willingnes- to pay any equitable tax. No satisfactory action has* been taken in regard to these petitions, and no change has been made in the ordinance. We understand now that these draymen are co .vmced that they connot conduct the corning business with profit under the cir cumstances, and have decided that, unless Council affords some relief, that they will abandon the business i e; refuse to pay tho tbe tax, which would leave tbe commerce of tiie city for the time being stagnant, as there would be no means of transportation. The matter, we learn, will be considered at tho meeting of Council to-morrow night. The question is an interesting one, and in volves important issues. Through Cotton for Savannah and New York. During the cotton week ending Friday night, tbe Western Railroad of Alabama brought to Columbus en route for Savannah ami New York, 434 bal* s cotton—34 from Mobile, 1 from Montgomery, 55 from Selma, 344 from Opelika, West Point an 1 other stations. The total through move .lent- by this route, since September 1st, is 29,879 bales— 2.218 from Mobil-*, 7,732 from Montgomery, 9,493 from Selma, 7,250 from West Point, Opjlika, Ac., 3,552 from Vicksburg. During same time the Mobile and Girard Railroad has brought up 3,88s through bales against 2,226. The Talleynaml Estate to behold at Public Auetlon. The advertisement of the celebrated Marqnis de Talleyrand Estate, beautifully situated on the St. John’s river and shell road near Jacksonville, Fla., requires no special mention, as its intrinsic value and the beauty and healthfulness of its locality are well known. It is very seldom tbat such an opportunity is (and doubtless never will be again) presented for a man, at his own price, to step at once, without the loss of time, and the trouble aud expense of de signing and planting a new place, into the possession of oue of the most beautiful and best located homesteads on the Bt. John’s river. It is cot only a fine property to oc cupy, bat is a splendid one to hold as an investment, as it cannot fail to double and treble in value in a very short time. The owner is about to engage in business, (hav ing recovered his health upon this place,), and will sell the property at whatever sacri fice. The terms of sale will be made as easy as possible. feb9-TuASa2t Preservation of the Mght. The loss of sight is one of the greatest mis fortunes which can befall a human being, and those who have found means to scientifically lessen the calamity are public benefactors. The Spencer Optical Manufacturing Company of New York have done this by the introduction of the -Diamond Spectacles,” which have had such an extensive use as to prove their value. They are manufactured from the fioest possible materials, and with the perfection of scientific nicety, and have been a boon to many thousands who have had occasion for their use. The geunine “Dia monds” are sold by the advertised agents, and will always be found just what they are repre sented to be. For sale iu Savannah by F. D. Jordan, feb9-Tu,Th,8t ARRIVALS.
