To Merchant". The high position in the journalistic field accorded the Moaxixo News by its contem- poiaries, and its large circulation, lender its value to the mercantile community as an advertising medium incalcu'able. The care ful attention given to home aflairs, State and local, the breadth given the discussion of national and general affairs, and the ac curacy of its commercial reports, has estab lished the Mobbing News in favor among all classes throughout the entire section from which Savannah draws the bulk of her trade, and hence mercantile announcements cannot fail to attract the attention of those in whom our merchants feel most inter ested.

Several members expressed their views on the subject, and upon motion it was unani mously agreed that the corps accept the in vitation of Colonel Olmstead. The chairman of the Band Committee re ported that the uniforms and equipments for the band had arrived by the steamship San Salvador on Wednesday, and that the band would be out in full dress on Monday.

We have received from Mr. Stewart, Clerk of Council, a copy of the Mayor’s annual report with the reports of the different de* partments. The reports of the Mayor and Treasurer have already been published in the Morning News, but there is much in the reports of the other officers which will be of interest, and we therefore make some extracts, showing the operations of the different departments during the year. CLERK OF COUNCIL. We find, according to the returns of the Clerk of Council, that there has been a de crease in the receipts in that deportment, as compared with previous years, the details ot which are as follows : Badges $11,786 00 Fees 334 70 Fines 5,777 08 Licenses .... 37,773 44 Sw’r Permits 1,031 00 1874.

CITY UARSHAL reports that the aggregate collections have exceeded those of any previous year, but owing to the failure of tax-payers, on ac count of the stringency of the times to pay promptly, the number of executions issued by the treasurer have nearly doubled. The following is a statement of taxes collected from executions and from other sources: Real Estate Executions for Taxes, 1871.$ 113 12 Real Estate Executions for Taxes, 1372. 233 4S Real Estate Executions for Taxes, 1873. 26,926 11 Real Estate Executions for Taxes, 1874. 20,574 26 Specific Taxes, 1373 386 00 Specific Taxes, 1874 S,966 50 Stock in Trade, 1872 3 00 Buirgies.

Sergeant James Leonard, in addition to his regular duties as Orderly Sergeant, has attended to everything connected with the Detective duties of the Department with much zeal and great energy. The Chief closes his report with a compli ment to the force for their zeal, efficiency aud good behavior. CITY SURVEYOR reports that the expenses of the Streets and Lanes department are somewhat in excess of those of the previous year, occasioned by an increase of the force for tho accom plishment of the required work. The de tails of expenses are as follows : Time of hands Streets and Lanes $17,929 51 lime of Teamsters 2,613 00 Forage for S:ock 1,426 25 Ballast, lumber, materials for catch basins, Ac 4.393 20 Repairs to carts, tools, harness, shoeing stock, Ac 772 00 Promiscuous items not induced in the above (see Treasurer's Report) 2,304 14 Total for the year $29,93S 13 The Surveyor recommends the paving ol one side of Liberty street from the Thun derbolt road to West Broad street. The number of men employed in keeping Forsyth Place and the squares in order to July* 1st was three. This number was in creased to seven during tho months of July and August, and subsequently reduced to four, the number now employed. The ex penses of the year have been, including Keeper’s salary, $4,312 47. The expenses of the dry culture depart ment were $4,229, including salary of the Inspector. THE COUNTY JAIL. The jail submits quite an interesting re port as follows: Of tho total number of prisoners received during the year, there were from— White. Colored. Total. Chatham county.... 442 981 1.423 United States 15 3 18 Other counties 8 20 28 Total .... 465 1,004 1,469 Four deaths have occurred during the year; fifteen lunatics received; six whites and teu colored committed for murder; two committee for murder from other counties. The amount due the city of Savannah for diet ing prisoners by the different counties is as follows: Chatham $11,706 60 McIntosh 73 20 Bryan 266 00 Bullock 81 6.)

In addi tion to being badly constructed, the build ing iu its present condition is not entirely socure, and if a new jail is not built addi tional watchmen will be required. The Jailer also has something to Bay about the trouble occasioned by the presence of fe males iu tho cells aud suggests that an apartment be built for the accommodation of these persons. THE MARKET. The Clerk of tho Market reports the fees collected during the year as $10,527 95 ; average per month, $877 33 ; per week. 1202 40, OTHER REPORTS. 1 he reports of the Keeper of Laurel Grove Cemetery and of the Health Officer Are full, but embrace no features of in terest which have not been given in tho Morning News lately. MORTUARY REPORT. The city is indebted to Dr. Wm. Duncan for tho following valuable statistical infer (nation relative to the health and mortuary record of Savannah for the past year, com piled from the records on file in the Mayor’s tfice. As compared with the year preced ing, this report exhibits a decrease of two Hundred aud fifty-four (254) in the total number of deaths—ono hundred and four teen (114) among the white population, and ■ me hundred and forty (140) among the col ored population; the decrease occurs prin cipally iu the number of deaths from zymo- ; ic and nervous diseases, while a part is dis- tnbnted throughout the general list, and is not of any general significance. Upon tho whole, the year is remarkable .ig furnishing a smaller mortality among the whites than any year during the last twenty, except 1857, at which time it is fair to presume that the population was much -mailer. The classification of the causes of death is based entirely upon the certificates fur nished by the attending physicians. All deaths, therefore, occurring without a phv- sician iu attendance have been carefully separated and placed under the bead of • Undefined;” anv other course would viti ate the classification and render it of no value. , According to the most recent classsmca- tion of diseases, as employed in the princi pal cities of the United States, all the ex- inthematous fevers are placed under the head of “ Miasmatic Diseases,” and in this connection it may be of interest to remark that daring the past year there are reported only six (6; deaths from scarlet fever, all white, and nine (9) from diptheria, six (6) white and three (3) colored, while not a sin gle death from sinall-pox is recorded. " Under Ihc head of “Undefined” there ap pears among the deaths—white, 3o; colored, 197. Of this number twenty (20) are re ported without a phyg cian in attendance among the whites, and one hundred and fifty-three (153) among the colored. Coro ner’s inquests—white, 20; colored, 52. Certificates of death of those cases occur ring where there has not been a physician iu attendance are procured from the Mat- or’s office, the applicant furnishing the data for the record, while the Coroner furniahes certificates for those ocourring within his jurisdiction. It is respectfully suggested that the mu nicipal authorities adopt anch legislation as will secure a more accurate record of the causes of those deaths taking place where there has not been a physician in attend ance. With a ?iew to that end, it would be proper that all applications for certificates of burial of such cases should bo procured from the Health Officer, whose duty it should be to ascertain, as far as possible, all the facts connected with each applica tion, and certify thereto accordingly. Such a system would be more perfect than the one now employed, and would lessen the temptation to the commission of such crimes as infanticide, inhuman neglect, Ac. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.

The Constitution Adopted Convention. by the State The following is a copy of the constitu tion adopted by the State Convention of Young Meu’s Christiau Associations which met in AogU3ta recently: 1. This assemblage shall be known as the State Convention of the Young Men’s Chris tian Association of Georgia. 2. This Convention shall assemble at least once a year at the place determined upon by the previous Convention, or at the call of the State Executive Committee. 3. No Association can be represented I y delegation in this Convention whose activ membership is not composed *»f those whoie belief is justification through Christ alone. 4. The officers of this Association shall Le a President, two Vice Presidents, aud a Secretary and Assistant Secretary, who shall respectively perform the duties usually per taining to these offices, and such other duties as the Convention may assign them. 5. Immediately after the election of the above named officers, the President shall appoint the following committees : 1. One on Business, to whom shall be refe-red all business of a general nature, and which shall arrange for all meetings of the Con vention. 2. Ono on Devotioual Services. 3. One on Associations, to which shall be re ferred all matters touching associations, in their individual or united action. 4. One on Credentials, to receive and record the cre dentials of delegates. 5. One on Resolu- .ions, to whom all resolutions shall be re ferred iu writing, without debate. 6. The Convention shall nominate for election by the International Convention a Corresponding Member for the State of Georgia, *ho shall be the medium of con nection between this Convention and the Executive Committee of the International Convention. 7. This Convention shall appoint a State Executive Committee, consisting of thirteen members, four of whom shall reside in the same city', and shall be constituted a quorum for the transaction of businass, to carry out its plans, who shall discharge tho duties assigned them until they are dis charged by a subsequent Convention. 8.

Each Association shall have two votes, aud one additional for each twenty-five active members. 13. Members assigned to odcu subjects for discussion will be limited to ten minutes, and all other speeches to five minutes Industrial Relief Society, or ItefiiRe for (lie Homeless. The object of this Society is to assist the destitute and ignorant poor by giving them free instruction in industrial pursuits, there by enabling them to become independent and self-snpporting. Contemplating, as it does, the welfare and elevation of the most neglected class iu the community, who sub sist ordinarily by begging, the Society pro poses to afford to wumeu and girls a tempo rary home, and to give them instruction iu cooking, sewing, laundry aud house-work, in order to fit its beneficiaries chiefly for domestic occupation in families. Secondarily, the Society contemplatts the assistance of the pocr who are able to reside in their own homes, and are willing to work, but by reason of circum stances tiich as sickness aud scarcity of employment, are compelled to invoke aid; such aid to be discreetly given under direc tion of the mauagers. The Society will hold its stated meetings and conduct its operations at the budding corner of Drayton and Charlton streets, long kuown as the Savannah Free School, now the property of the “ Widows’ Society.” A Matron and District Visitor will reside iu this building, and pursue their wo - k under control of the Board of Man agers. The undersigned, composing the Bo ird, desire to call the attention of all thoughtful and earnest persons to the fact that the mendicants who now receive aid at offices and dwellings, are in no degree perma nently benefited by this indiscriminate alms giving, which, in fact, only degrades, by robbing them of self-respect, and demoral- iz< s by indisposing for labor. This money, if placed ia the hands of discreet aim'tiers, would accomplish greater results by beiug employed to tit such persons for useful do- mostia#r public service. Such associations as the one whose claims are now presented exist in all cities, aud are conducted aud controlled ordinarily with prudence and success. Savannah has never had any comprehensive system of relief, and, if it be a maxim of political economists as well as of individuals, that “prevention is better than cure,” it is proposed now to prove that it is a greater economy to take a girl at the flexible age of fourteen years and to make of her an industrious, useful woman, than to suffer such an one to prey upon the community by mendicancy as a profession, by lying and kindred vices, with their dread contagion, and by repeated ao- pearances in our courts, through sin and shame. Personal appeals for aid will be made in tliis behalf, and donations gratefully re ceived by tho managers in money, bed linen, towelling, shirting, calico, or neces sary art cles of furniture.

This was the escape from the court room of a prisoner named Harry Watkins, who is under indict- j ment for larceny from a vessel. There are j various speculations, sut m'ses and reports i in reference to th ; s escape, but lor tho ! j present we will merely give the facts so far as known, connoted with the matter, i Watkins, it will be remembered, was cap tured on Monday night ou the ship General Shepley, by Captain Hutchiua, ia (he act of i stealing cotton. O.i Tuesday he was in- j dieted by the Grand Jury, and yesterday was i brought into court with the view of being I put upon trial. About 12 o’clock, daring a brief inter- ; mission ifl the regular proc •edmgs, Messrs, i P. M. & B. W. Bussed, counsel for tlio j prisoner, asked permission of Judge Tomp kins to take the prisoner into an adjoining ro *m to consult with him about witnesses, Ac., as they had bad no previous opp.irtu- nity to do so. The Judge granted the re- Majrfsterinl Nates. i Magistrate Iiuasell was busy all day yes terday. and managed to get through seven cases. The first oase was that of a Mr. Davis, from Effingham, who was charged with as sault and Lattery. by Robert Herrington, for having beaten him over the head with the butt end or his whip. Davis gave bonds for his appearance before the City Court ou Monday next. The next case was that of Rebecca Porter, from the precinct of Pepper Hill, charged with breach of the peace iu having threat ened the life of John Darling. At last accounts she was hunting for some friend who was willing to save her from lying in a cell both cold and damp. Booty Singleton, colored, put iu au appear ance, charged with cheating and swindling, in having obtained money by false represen tations aud artful practices. Boory fur nished a satisfactory bond for his appear ance before the City Court ami departed hence rejoicing. Tne notorious Clara Lawrence pranced into the court during the day to prosecute j Hattie Washington and Hagir Grant, whom i she charged with the larcenv or twenty-tw > ! dollars and ninety cents. It appears that i Clara went to the house of the defvmltuts ! and while there dropped her pocket b *ok, 1 which she alleges contained the above After leaving B he ordinary 13? 4 <#14c: net recet ports to Great bales.

This Clara detailed for that purpose.

Tompkins, presiding. Court met at 10 a. m. yesterday, when the following proceedings were had : James Wayne, the negro who was con victed on Wednesday night of volantary manslaughter for the killing of Jim Brown, uegro, was sentenced by Judge Tompkins to twenty years in the penitentary. State vs. D. Seidenberg, indicted for lar ceny and baying stolen goods. Verdict ol not guilty. Hartridge for defense. State vs. William Lyons, indicted for mur der. This affair is of so recent an occur rence that the particulars as given in the Morning News are fresh iu the minds of the reading Dublic. The killing occurred in :aloon on Bay street. The accused had a fuss or difficulty with a man named John Robinson, and, it is alleged, cut him with a knife, inflicting terrible injuries, from the effects of which he died. The trial attracted a large number ot spectators, and the court room was crowded daring its progress. A jury was obtained after the usual difficulty in capital cases, many jurors going off for cause, and the examination of witnesses was at once com menced. The defendant was repiesented by Mr. R. R. Richards, the State being represented by Solicitor General Lamar. The Court took a brief recess at two o’clock,and upon re-convening the examina tion of witnesses was resumed and con cluded about half-past five, wbeu another recess was taken until half-past six o’clock. At the latter hour the Court met, and Mr. Richards opened his argument for the defense, presenting his cause in a very forcible manner, and dwelling p.rticularly on the law as applicable to mnrder cases. Col. Lamar maae a most masterly speech, showing close reasoning, and analysing the evidence in the most searching and thorough manner. He closed his argument abou' ten minutes after nine o’clock, when the Judge delivered his charge to flthe jury. Judge Tompkins presented the case with his usual conciseness, specifying the different grades of murder, and calling the attention of the jury particularly to the def initions of the laws. He included in his charge a number of points requested by the defense, and at twenty minutes to ten o’clock closed, when the case was submitted to the jury and they retired for consulta tion. Refreshments were ordered for the jurors and the court took a recess until ten o’clock this morning. Smelted Oat. A certain magistrate yesterday morning cincluded to make his office a little more comfortable by introducing a stove, and toasting himself before a bright fire. In putting up the pipe, the party employed made a mistake, and instead of adjusting it nicely in the chimney, got it jammed be tween the ceiling and floor above. Imagin ing, however, that everything was lovely, a fire was started in the stove, and the magis terial party rnbbed their hands in glee at the an'icipation of having a nice, warm office. The fire had been burning about ten minutes when the comfortable circle were disturbed by the entrance of the excited oc- :upant of tha second floor, who was nearly lusocated, having been smoked out. Ex planation followed, and the affair was amic ably settled by “outing” the fire, and the magistrate and hie staff had to pass the re maining office hours in the oold. counsel to the jury room ou the right of the entrance. A short time afterwards some confusion was occasioned in the court room by the return of the jury from thb opposite room in the case against Siedenberg, with a verdict. There was a general movement to open way for the jurors, when Judge Tomp kins caught sight of 'Yatkins going out the door, but presuming that he was in the custody of Constable Blance, merely called the attention of the Sheriff to the fact, who remarked that it was all right, as an officer was with him, but in a few minutes the thought dashed across his mind that there might be a possibility of a mi stake,and he left his seat and harried out of the room to as certain something about it. Nothing was seen of the man, aud the Sheriff being re quired in court, had to return, but was not apprehensive that there was anything wrong, as he supposed that Watkins had been taken down stairs on a necessary errand. In the meantime oonstable Blance appear ed in the court room and was summoned to Judge Tompkins, who asked him where his prisoner was. The officer stated that after the prisoner’s counsel had finished their consultation with him be had brought the prisoner back into the court-room and re turned him to the Sheriff. The Sheriff and his deputies, Mr. Smitk auJ Capt. Dooner, asserted they had not seen him, and if the accused had been returned to the accustom ed place, near the bench, they had not seen him. Judge Tompkins thereupon informed Con stable Blance that while he had at present no charge to make against him ou acoouut of the escape of the prisoner, yet he was not entirely satisfied about tho matter, and for the time would relieve him of his duties as bailiff in the court, that he might go aud hunt for the accused, instructing him to appear aud report at the opening of court this morning. Constablo Blance immediately left on the search, but up to a late hour last night had not met with success. Mr. P. M. Russell, Sr., informed ui that after speaking to thoir client about his witno-ses they left him with Constable Blance, and that the officer had immediate ly returned him to the court room. These are the facts and they very clearly exhibit a conflict of assertions ; whether subsequent developments will reconcile them remains to be seen. One thing is certain, Watkins profited by a favorable op portunity and by shrewd boldness succeed ed in leaving the court room and effecting his escape. A tench warrant and search warrant were issued by the Judge aud every conceivable place, where the officers thought there was the least probability of coming across Wat kins, was visited, but up to eleven o’clock no trace of him had beeu obtained aiul it is fe*red he has made good his escape. This is to be regretted, as w# understand irom good authority that Watkins is con nected with au organized gang of river pirates, who do a thriving business by dis posing of their plunder to certain parties in the city, aud that there was a prospect < f securing information through him whhb would have led to the arrest and couvictioL of several parties who are alleged to be his accomplices. The officers are still on the hunt for the prisoner, but under the circumstances the prospect of his recapture is wry doubtfu 1 . The escape was the absorbing theme around the Court*House an ton the streets, and the developments to-day will be looked for with interest. for their amst. flattie gave bonds for an examination, but Hagar went to jail. John Watson and Isaac Houston were also interviewed by the magistrate on a charge of assault and battery, but having no friends in the city, they concluded to find a secluded boardiu*' place, and elected that popular re sort on Hall street. The last on tho list was a colored rooster named Alfred Doran, for assaulting and beating Harriet Proctor in the street. Alfred is now registered at Russell’s hotel. — — Will be raffled on baturday eveuiug those valuable diamonds.

The following eloquent aud touching re sponse to a gilt of the Clinch Rifles, of Augusta, Ga., by the Washington Light Infantry, we copy Irom the Netr* and Courier of that city. The Republican Blues, Chatham Aitillery aud Savannah Volunteer Guards entertained the Washington Light iufantry once in Savannah, and afterward visited Charleston as the guests of tin command, and there arc many survivors who will read with interest the conrtesieh beiug exchanged between Augusta and Charleston : “Captain Simons stated that some time since the Clinch Rifles, of Augusta, Ga., had addressed a communication to the Washington Light Infantry, and in token ol their hearty friendship for the corps had tendered a very handsome present for the c lining fair of the compauy; that a com mittee had been appointed to report upon the matter, aud that the company was ready to receive their report. Mr. G. D. Bryan, chairman of the committee, then read the report, as follows : “.he communication from tho CliucL ltiflo*, of Augusta, Ga., which has just been read to us, revives recollections which carry us iu memory to the times of a past genera tion. If we try to say how grateful it is to be so reminded, how proud we are of that joint past, what words can wo usj to convey die emotious of our hearts ? Twenty-three years ago this coming spring wo received an invitation to visit the city o. Augusta on the 4th of July, and to be thr guests of the Clinch Rifles. One who had led a company of Richmond county volun teers to the Seminole war was their Captain, an 1 we felt that to cross the Sa’ annah river under his invitation was to meet him with a generous aud soldierly welcome. We went, aud realized to the fullest the warmth of Georgia’s hospitality. The grand parade, the elegant oration of the gifted Spencer, with his pathetic invocation for tne Eutaw flag: “May the winds of heaven play gently with its consecrated folds, ami posterity- whisper to willing ears the story of its greatness aud its glory;” the unstinted round of festivities, all are to-day fresh in the memories of our surviving brothers. On the 22J February, 1853, the Clinch Rifles were our guests iu Charleston, on which occasion the entire brigade paraded in their honor, the Governor, John L. Manning, re- v . wtng, and OUT late chaplain, Rev. S. Gil man, prouounced the oration iu honor ol she day—the Citadel Cadet?, Washington Artillery and ourselves being their special escort. Dinners, balls aud other festivities marked their rreseuce ia tho City by the Sea. Alas, how changed in many respects is that gay aud brilliant past in contrast with tliis sober and in some respects sad present. 1 he manly Capt. Wilson, whose cheery voice of command we wero so proud to respond t >, sleeps his long sleou in our own sacred spot in Magnolia, under the shadow of a memorial shaft which tells the dreary story of one hundred and thirteen dead W. L. I’s. Gar Captain, the devoted Joseph Walker, has laid aside his swori and gone to au honored grave; the voice of the gifted 8pencer is heard no more, and the good chaplain and orator of that birthday cele bration in 1853, sleepshis last sleep near the altar where in life he ministered. Between us aud that past how great the change. Yes, how much is gone never to return. But the good seed time of the past buds in this dim present, and where once was heard the summons to gayety and mer riment there comes a voice, on the wings of a spotless dove of charity, whispering the tidings of a rich offering for our widow and orphan fund. Ro&otcedj That the Washington Light Infantry receive with grateful pleasure the •-legant gift of their brother soldiers, the Clinch Rifles, of Augusta, Ga., not only as a contribution to tne widow and orphan fund, but as well the pledge that “We lire in constant remembrance.” Resolved, That this gift be placed in the bauds of onr lady friends who are in charge of the “ Georgia table.” Resolcr/l That the secretary transmit a copy of these resolutions to the Clinch Rifles. G. D. Bryan, George B. Edwards, W. J. Hebiot. Fire and Water—The Wrecked Slii|» Can terbury. Mention has several times been made in the News of the disaster to the ship Can terbury, cotton laden from Mobile, which went ashore on the south end of Tybee on Sunday night. The total loss of the vessel is now conceded. The sea has been so rough and the vessel in such a bad position that it has been impossible to remove the cotton rapidly—in iact the work was at tended with great danger, on account of the rolling of the ship. Yesterday afternoon as the steam tug Forest City was leaving the ship with lighter containing three hundred bales of cotton, fire was discovered on board of the vessel, apparently proceeding from the gal ley or the engine room, and making rapid headway when last seen. Very probably by this time tho ship has been burned to the water’s edge and the cotton destroyed. About 600 bales of the 3,890 h ive been removed. Three bales which had been used as fend ers on the ship were washed loose and drifted off. but were secured in Thunderbolt river and brought to the city on a truck sent out for the purpose yesterday after noon.
