Personal. The Eufaula (Ala.) Neics contains the following notice of Alfred W. Cochran, Esq., who has lately removed to onr city : “ Alfred W. Cochran, Esq., has lately re moved to the city of Savannah to engage in the practice of the law. He is but twenty- live or twenty-six years of age, and is now regarded by his professional brethren as one of the most talented and learned young at torneys of the State. In fact, no lawyer of his ago is held in higher estimation for pro found legal learning and solid ability. He is no less respected for his fine social quali ties, and is distinguished justly for his high ordt r of candor and integrity. Mr. Coc aran is the only surviving son of the gifted, la mented Judge John Cochran, and is a grand son of Col. Alfred Wellborn, now deceased, late of Georgia, and married a lovely and accomplished daughter of Hon. J. L. Pugh, of this city. He has for several years past been associated in the practice with Mr. Pugh. With the entire community, we re gret the loss to our city of so valued a mem ber of society; and, with pleasure, we com mend him and his kind lady to the love, esteem and confidence of the good people of the Gulf city of Georgia.” Death *f Captain Thow. Win. Brent. We find in the Pensacola Gazette a notice of the death of Captain Thomas Wm. Brent, a distinguished naval officer, who was in command of the ram Savannah during the war, and upon the occupation of this city by the Federal forces, blew her up at Scre ven’s ferry. The Gazette says : The death of the old and honored citizon, whose name is given above, surprised lew, but pained ail, who knew him. A suffering invalid for years, he endured his trial with exemplary fortitude, which indicated to the end the traits of character that had render ed him useful and respected during a life of eventful experiences. The flags of the dif ferent Vice-Consulates, and various signal ensigns about the city and harbor were vesterday lowered to half-mast when Capt. brent’s death was announced The same tribute is accorded to-day, and the funeral services at St. Michael’s church were at tended by a general assemblage of citizens. Pay of Witnesses. In the Superior Courts of the State all witnesses in civil cases are entitled to seventy-five cents per day, to be paid by the parties at whose instance they are sub poenaed. In criminal cases, State’s witnesses from other counties than Chatham, or the county the case is tried in, are entitled to two dol lars per day durmg their attendance, and two dollars lor each thirty miles going and returning, to be paid out of the county funds. Parties who reside in the county, or those summoned for defense, are entitled to no pay. The Steamship America Libel Case. Mention has already been made of the fact that the steamship America, of the Savan nah and Baltimore line, had been libelled for salvage in the sum of $10,000 by the steamship Huntsville at Charleston. The Huntsville has reached New York, and, on Friday, the Captain telegraphed Messrs. Porter & Brawley, his proctors in Charles ton, to release the America. The necessary orders to that effect were taken out in the United States Court at Charleston yester day, arid the America is probably now on her way to CBaltimore. The^ case is to be submitted to arbitration in New York. Death of R. R. Habersham, Esq. Mr. Robert Rae Habersham died Saturday night at 8 o’clock, at the Habersham House, on Orleans square, of Bright’s disease of the kidneys.

It is rumored that a “big weddiDg” will take place at Christ Church on the evening of December 22, when it is said that a prom inent and well-known physician will lead to the altar one of the most amiable and worthy daughters of Chatham county. A Brilliant Theatrical Combination IIhII’m Combination. Our community will have the pleasure this evening of greeting upon the boards of the Savannah Theatre, the largest and most tal ented theatrical combination that has visited this city in many years. Hall’s Combina tion is composed of actors and actresses of acknowledged histrionic ability, many of whom have achieved success and popularity iu tbe Metropolitan theatres. The favorable criticisms which the present combination have received from the leading critics of the country give us every assurance in promis ing our amusement-seekers a theatrical season, brief though it is, of unusual bril liancy and attraction. The programme pre sents three of the most popular and suc cessful plays ever produced in this country, aud is as follows : Monday night, “Two Or phans;” Tuesday night, “Led Astray;' Wednesday night, “Saratoga,” the beautiful and intensely interesting society play that was presented in this city several years ago by Charles Wyndham's English Comedy Company, and which was received with unbounded enthusiasm. Tho great strength and talent of Hall's Combination enable the presentation of these powerful plays with ex traordinary effect. Among the favorite artists of the Combination wo maymention Mr.Louis L. James, one of the most popular aad pol ished young actors on the New York stage. He was (until the present season) for four years tbe leading actor of Daly’s Fifth Ave nue Theatre, aud is one of the most attrac tive and pleasing actors in the country. The following allusions to this artist are copied from the New York Evening Post, one of the most dignified journals in that city, and one that never bestows unmerited praise: “The absence of Mr. Louis L. James from this city during the ensuing dramatic sea son will bo generally regretted by intelli gent playgoers. Mr. James is one of the most gifted of our young actors, and ho has steadily grown in favor here since he first appeared at the Fifth Avenue Theatre as Captain Lynde in Divorce. In the old come dies Mr. James has displayed accurate per ception and refined taste, and his imperson ations of “Mr. Page,” “Joseph Surface,” aud “Dorricourt” will be remembered with pleasure, while in the lighter pla^s of later times, which have recently been produced, he has succeeded equally well. Mr. James is now acting at (Mr. Hall’s) New Theatre. Seats for to-night or the season of three nights may be secured at Schrejuer’s during the day, aud as the indications point to an overwhelming house, we would advise par ties desiring choice seats to call early. Child Killed on the Street Car Lin> Inquest. On Saturday afternoon a sad accident occurred on the Cemetery branch of the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Rail road Company, resulting in the instant death of a colored girl, aged about two years. Upon thorough investigation of the facts, we ascertained that, as the car was passing Barnard street, the driver saw a colored girl leading a smaller child cross ing Anderson street, a short distance ahead, with the evident intention of passing over the track. Realizing their dan ger, he shouted, “ For God’s sake get off the track,” at the same moment “downing the brake.” .The car was par tially stopped, but the suddenness caused the horse to jump, and before the accident could be averted the smaller child was knocked down, and the car passed directly over him, killing him instantly. The de ceased was a son of Peter Johnson, a col ored driver on the Whitaker street line. Only the day previous this same child very narrowly escaped being run over whilst plating on the track. Yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, Coroner Kuorr held an inquest upon the body of the child, when facts as above stated were elic ited. The jury rendered a verdict that the killing was accidental, and completely ex onerated tbe driver, Mr. Henry A. Wilson, and tho railroad company. Postal Dots. The money order system is intended to promote public convenience and to secure safety in tho transfer through the mails of small sums of money.

United States Treasury or National Bank notes only received or paid. Through Cotton. During the cotton week ending Friday night, says the Columbus Enquirer, the Western Railroad of Alabama brought to Columbus, en route for Savannah and New York, 2.02S bales cotton—100 from Mobile* 269 from Montgomery, 834 from Selma, 519 from Opelika, West Point and other stations, 266 from Vicksburg, 0 from New Orleans, 10 by North and South Railroad. The total through movement by this route since September Jst, is 13,669 bales— 419 from Mobile, 4,618 from Montgomery, 4,911 from Selma. 2,830 from West Point, Opelika, Ac., 551 from Vicksburg, 95 from New Orleans, 55 by North and South Rail road. The total movement last season was 19,403. During the same time the Mobile and Girard Railroad has brought up 1,867 through bales against 1,571. Destruction of Sullivan A Hall’s Saw Mill. Mention has been made in the Morning News of the destruction, by fire, of Sullivan A Hall’s saw mill, on the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, two miles east of Wares- boro, on Thursday morning last. We have since learned that some one hundred and twenty-five thousand feet of lumber and forty-nine thousand shingles, ready for shipment to this city and Brunswick, were also burned. The Valdosta Times says: “ It is supposed to be the work of an incen diary, as no trace of fire was to be seen up to half-past 1 o’cloek at night. We learn that there was an insurance of five thou sand dollars on the mill.” Travellers should wear the Elmwood Collars. They are easily carried, wear well, look nicely, and do not require washing, 1 Mars and Satarn in Conjunction. During the early half of last night many of our observant readers doubtless noticed an interesting sight in the cloudless sky of the southern heavens. The two planets, Mars and Saturn, were in conjunction, ap pearing close together—the yellow light of Saturn contrasting finely with the bright red glare of Mars, which appeared imme diately below. Three months ago these two planets were quite widely separated from each other, Mars appearing in the Milky Way and Saturn many degrees off to the left. Mars, how ever, has been rapidly gaining upon his competitor, and last night quite overtook him. To-night he will be seen still nearer, but Saturn will be on the right and the apparent distance between the two will visibly increase with every sucoessive evening. So close to each other did tbe two planets appear last evening, that both might have been hidden from view by the moon, had she been likewise exactly in that direction. Both might have been seen at the same moment, if viewed through a small telescope of two- inch aperture. Such an instrument is pow erful enough to show quite distinctly the round red body of MarB, and the fiery ring around Saturn, separated by a small'black space lrom the yellow body of the distant giant planet. These two planets are now almost in the same direction from the earth, but by no means at their least or greatest distance from us. Mars is at present about a hun dred million miles distant, and Saturn nearly nine times as far. In June Mars was not fifty million miles off, being at that time at a point directly opposite to the Sun, and nearer than at any other time for eight years past, or for the same length of time to come. The summer just ended has, therefore, been a peculiarly favorable sea son for observations upon the planet of War. By a series of most careful observations upon Mars, particularly during the year 1867 when this planet was nearest, astrono mers have been able to distinguish what are supposed to be continents and seas upon its surface, while fields of ice aud snow were seen npon its North and South poles, and shifting clouds swayed by the atmospheric disturbances that the sun’s heat causes around the distant body. Greenish, blue patches, constant in position, and joined to gether so as to form an irregular belt in an easterly and westerly direction, are supposed to bo bodies of water ; while on each side are reddish surfaces, thought to be land. The red clay hills of Geor gia, or the vast yellowish expanse of the great Sahara desert, would probably f iresent a similar appearance, if viewed rom afar off by the well known man iu the moon. Whether the vegetation upon Mars likewise partakes of the reddish color that marks the continents remains yet to be de termined. Wherever air, water and land are found together upon our earth, life has been discovered. There is hence good reason, by analogy, for the supposition that Mars is likewise tenanted by living brings. Whether martial astronomers are to bo in cluded among such beings will perhaps re main a mystery. If they exist it will be hard for them to communicate with us at distances ranging from fifty to two hundred and forty million miles. On account of its vast distance, the sur face of Saturn has been by no means so well studied as that of Mars. Iu the tele scope it is one of the most beautilul objects of study in the heavens. Cloud belts have been distinguished upon its body, but as yet no positive proof exists, by which these can be known to bo composed of water vapor like those on Mars. The curious rings, suspended in space around this planet, have long been subjects of interest and speculation. They have been supposed to be made up of multitudes of minute bodies, or clouds, revolving around their centre of attracti u, as the moon does around the Earth. In addition to its rings, Saturn has eight moons, all of which revolve out side of the rings. Unlike Mars, this planet seems to be slightly self-luminous, giving forth more light than can possibly be ac counted for on the supposition that it shines only by reflected sunlight. At least two years will elapse before the recurrence of the phenomenon observed last evening. COURT CALENDAR. United States Clrcalt Csurt. Judge John Erskdte, presiding. Court convened at 10 a. m.

Dedication of St. James’s Tabernacle. The edifice known as the St. James Tab ernacle, lately erected at the comer of Ran dolph and Perry streets, by the colored peo ple, was yesterday formally dedicated. The ceremonies were announced to take place at eleven o’clock in the morning, and at that hour quite a large crowd had collected in the vicinity. The services were commenced shortly after eleven o’clock by Rev. James Porter reading the ritual, with responses by the choir. Prayer was then offered by Rev. Harnon Aeve.s, followed by the singing of a psalm by the choir, which was particularly well rendered. Rev. H. M. Turner then introduced the Rev. T. M. D. Ward, Colored Bishop of tho African Methodic Episoopal Church for Georgia, Florida, Alabama aud Mississippi, who preached the dedication sermon, which was followed by the singing of a psalm. Rev. Turner then delivered a short ad dress, stating that the tabernacle had been erected for the use and especial benefit of the poor aud indigent. Most of tho churches had pews, or were so finely finished that those who cannot dress finely feel some fear of going into them, and are consequently spending their Sabbaths and precious time in foolish gossip, etc.; that this tabernacle would be free for ail, white and colored, rich and poor—more especially for the poor. And, in addition to the religious services to be held there, it will be devoted to lectures, debates, discus- siOp£, speeches and the general diffusion of knowledge. He expects this tabornaclo to prove the great elevator of tho colored race in this vicinity. Therefore, he would urge his hearers to contribute, according to their means, to pay off the indebtedness incurred in its erection. After this address, a collection was taken up and the handsome .sum of $100 was real ized. The formal dedication was to have taken place after the collection, but the B<shop was suddenly indisposed, and it was found necessary to postpone this service uutil 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The Church is a handsome wooden frame building 60x46 feet, with a seating capacity of 810, besides the minister’s stand and a section for the choir. The following ministers were present : Bishop T. M. B. Ward, Revs. Porter, J. Ha bersham, H. Aeves, W. D. Johnston, P. Gad- sen, A. Harris, C. Hamilton, J. Delburg, S. Ross, S. Markham, S. Brookins. The First Atlantic Steamship. The long disputed question concerning the first steamship that crossed the Atlan tic, is thus settled by the Xautical Gazette: Mr. A. McDonald, No. 1 Long Acre street, write3 to the London Times : Sir John Hawkshaw, in his address before the British Association, falls into a common and hith erto uncorrected error respecting tho first steamship which crossed the Atlantic. Five years before the Sirius and Great Western made tbeir successful attempts to do this, tbe steamship Royal William sailed from Quebec on the 17th o< August, 1«j3, and after two or threo days’ detention at Pictou, Nova Scotia, arrived at Gravesend on the 11th of September, thus making the trip in about the same time as that taken by the first Cunard boats to Boston. The Royal William was built at Three Rivers, and fitted at the St. Mary’s Foundry, Montreal, with engines made in this oountry. So far as my boyish recollection of tie vessel serves me, I think she was about five hundred tons burden. I remember very well her departure from England, but iu order to be sure, I called at Lloyds some weeks ago, and was courteously shown the register for September 12, 1833, in which 1 found under “Gravesend,” the announce ment of arrivals on the 11th, the following: “Steamship Royal William, McDoug&l, Quebec.” Several years before a vessel called the Savapnah, fitted with an engine and paddles, crossed from Savannah, Ga., in thirty-one days. The paddles were removable. Her engines were only used eighteen days. When the Savannah entered the Channel, off the coast of Ireland, the smoke from .her funnel brought down upon her a gun brig, detach ed from the Channel squadron, under the impression that she was a ship on fire. The Savannah was a full-rigged ship, and al though she advertised her sailing and for passengers no one was brave enough to ship aboard of her. As tbe Savannah was not a steamship, but merely a sailing vessel, with a temporary arrangement for steaming on board, to the Canadian “Royal William” must be accorded the honor of being the pioneer of our present large Atlantic steam fleet. What became of this vessel subse quently I am uncertain, but have the im pression that she was sold to the Porta* guese Government. The Difficulty on the Steamer Carrie. Tho Morning News of Saturday, con tained mention of a report in circulation in Augusta to the effect that a white man ou the steamer Carrie had beep assassinated by a party of negroes at a point fifty miles below that city, on her up trip from Savan nah. This report proves incorrect and grew oat of an occurrence on the Carrie on her last trip to this city. 8oon after the steamer left her wharf at Augusta one of the lower deck hands, a greasy negro, went np to the ladies’ cabin with two colored women, and demanded berths for them. The steward, a white man, refused to let them have the berths, whereupon tbe trooper commenced carsing him, and otherwise acting in an obstreperous manner. He finally became so abusive and violent that the steward struck him over the head with a meat axe, inflicting a slight wound. The negro then retired, and at the next landing was put off the boat. Mince Meat, in 3, 5 and 10 lb. backets, at the Red Grocery, 22 Barnard street. nov4 Saurkraut and finnan Salt Pickles, arrived to day at the Red Grocery, 22 Barnard et, novll ( haihain Superior Coart. Judge H. B. ToMPfciNB presiding. Court convened Saturday morning at 10 o’clock, pursuant to adjournment. The fol lowing is a record of the day’s business : The jury in tho case of the State va. Jas. Frances, colored, charged with assault, with intent to murder, who were out at the ad journment of court on Friday night, agreed upon a verdict about 11 o’clock, and, in ac cordance with the instructions of the court, sealed it, and it was rendered in Open conrt Saturday morning, as follows : “ We, the jury, find the prisoner guilty of stabbing— not in his own defense.” He was placed in the dock, and sentenced by the Judge to six mouths in the chain-gang or to pay a fine of fifty dollars. Tire certiorari docket was then taken up, and the following disposed of: James Lindsey, plaintiff in certiorari, vs. George Jansen, defendant in certiorari. Appeal from Justice McPBerrien’s Conrt.

Review for the Past Week. The New York Bulletin, of the 16th, saye There is a very decided lack of interesting features ou the market for the period covered by this review. Operations generally have been moderate aud conducted with great care, the movement at times embracing almost exclusively the small ventures of brokers, etc., working for a quick turn and light profit. The absence of new influences of a positive character have tended to keep many operators quiet, though another check to free transactions was to be found in tbe attention required to settle tbe com plications on October deliveries, some of which are still in abeyance. Taking the tone of the market altogether, the tendency has been rather toward a slight hardening on values. A goodly portion of the trade still talk and feel “bearish,'’ under a belief in a full crop and a slow, careful consump tion, but have not enough confidence to force the market, and are particularly timid after late experiences. On the other band, however, the theory is that surplus stocks both of raw and manufactured cotton have become closely worked up; that the value is as low as the planter can afford to raise his crop for, while it also affords the manufac turer a reasonable margin, and it is claimed that even should the growth reach the highest estimates all will be wanted. At tbe best, however, tho market has been iu a sort of fairly balanced condition, awaiting new developments, with neither “bulls” oi “bears” at the moment enabled to subBtan tiato a claim for positive advantage. Tba demand for “spot” cotton during the week has come very largely from spinners buying along carefuily from hand to mouth, as their wants required, though now and then managing to make a fair day’s busi ness. A few sales have been made for ex port, and at one time the movement on this outlet seemed about to develop into a little life, but the indications were not veri fied, as the majority of shippers were, aud are still, engaged in unravelling the com plications and mysteries connected with the deliveries on October contracts, and of which they received a goodly share. This class of operators gave some attention to short notices early in the week, but subsequently bid low enongh for safety, and obtained none to speak of. On prices the turn has been a small fraction (l-16c.) higher, but without bouyancy, ind at times only barely sustained. Of the amounts here nearly one-half have still remained tied up on speculative connections, aud this has made the offerings comparatively moderate, but, as a rule, there was at no time any scarcity here, and a fair amount was also available to arrivo, at rates a trifle below ruling quotations. On contracts tho market has been up and down from day to day on small fractional fluctuations, but cn the whole sellers made rather the largest gain, as the average cost was somewhat above last week. As noted above, in many quarters there was a greater confidence in cotton - bap a week or so ago ; and, while no large proportion of the trade were prepared to invest with freedom, it seemed safer to own than to be “short” of supplies. At the ports the receipts were thought to be indicating a trifle reduced pressure to market the crop, and the Liver pool accounts were steady. These influences iuduced some shorts to cover, and at one time during the week the call for this pur pose was really quite lively, the undoubted oversold condition of the market producing a quick alarm among those wbo, not owning what they have sold, imagine there is a possibility of their being nnable to obtaiuit except at a loss. The present month has shown the greatest strength, and though it is yet rather early for any positive develop ments, a few operators feel certain that another corner will be attempted. At the close of the week the gpne«al tenidenoy ap- pearod to bo a little on the downward turn, under the more liberal look of the port re ceipts aud a favorable construction placed on crop advices. The Washington’s New Hall—Corner- Stone Lnytnc. The Washington Steam Fire Company will this afternoon, at four o’clock lay the the corneNstone of tfio new hall, which is now being erected for their use on Broughton street near Houston. The corner-stone was made by Mr. M. Cash, and is a fine specimen. The Savannah Guards’ Band has been en gaged, and the Washingtons are determined to make the occasion pleasant in every re spect. Chief Blair and Assistant Chief But ler have been invited to participate, and will be present. An appropriate address will be delivered by Mr. J. J. Abrams. After the corner-stone ceremonies there will be a parade of the company, winding up with a oollation at the old hall. Foreman Charles E. Wakefield is now re ceiving contributions for the box, which will be placed in the stone. The following is the route the company will take: From engine house to Bay, to West Broad, to South Broad, to East Broad, to Broughton, up Broughton to the hall. An Imprecnable Position. Among American remedies Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters occupies what may not inaptly be termed an impregnable position. The ioondations of its popnlarity are laid so deep in the public confi dence, its excellence has been so frequently and conclusively demonstrated under the most trying circumstances, and it has been so long known to the pnblic as a standard article, that neither the slurs occasionally cast npon proprietary medi cines, nor the attempts ol certain in alcoholic nos trum venders ta create a prejudice against a preparation with a spirituous basis, can affect it. The pnblic recognize in it a safe, agreeable and comprehensive alterative and an invaluable gen eral tonic, a speedy remedy for malarious disor ders, and their most reliable preventive. Ita reputation is founded, as it were, npoa a rock. novl9-F,M,W&wlw A Porcelain Set Is handsome as a dinner service, bnt a set ot porcelain teeth is of no service at dinner.

The work originally published under Qje tike Ot THE NEW’ AMERICAN CYCIX>PJ&DLA was completed in 1S63, since which time tl e wide cir culation which it has attained in all parts of the United >tatee, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, lit erature And art, have induced the editors and pub- liefet-rs to submit it to an exact and thorough re vision, and to issue a new edition entitled The American Cyclopedia. Within the last ten years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative W The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great war- and consequent involu tions hove occurred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was it ita height when the teat volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been cjmmcnced. Large accessions to onr GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE 1 lave been made by the indefatigable explorers ot' Africa. . , __ •The great-political revolutions of the last de cade, with tbe natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude ot new men, whose names are in every one’s month, and of whose lives every one is carious to know the particulars. Great battles have liean fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved omy in the newspapers or in tbe transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY. In preparing the present et ition far Die press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bringdown the information to the latest pos sible dates, and to furnish at accurate ac count of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of tbe newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give succinct and original record of the progress of POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS. The work has been begun after long and care ful prelim inarv labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful ter mination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, bnt every page has been PRINTED ON NEW TYPE, Forming in fact a new Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a lar greater pecuniary expenditure, and ^ ith such improvements in its composition as h* ve been suggested by longer experience and enk uged knowledge. THE ILLUSTRATIONS Which .’U'e introduced for the first time in the present t dition have been added not for the sake of pictork 1 effect, bnt to give greater lucidity and force to ttu • explanations in the text. They em brace all branches of science and of natural his tory, and depict the most famous and remarka ble features of scenery, architecture snd art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruc tion rather than embellishment, no pains have lieen spared to insure their ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. The cost nf their execution is enormous, and it is believed they wall find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and wortuy of its high character. This work is sold to subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be complete in BixleEii large octavo volumes, each con taining about SO) pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
