The Race at Thunderbolt.
There was a good attendance at the Thun
derbolt course yesterday afternoon to wit
ness tbe trotting race between Pat Sum
mers’s Robin Hood and M. J. Doyle’s Irish
Girl. The race was a close one throughout
and excited great interest.
Starting for the first heat, Robin took the
lead and held it throughout, the Girl break
ing once or twice, but settling down to work
on the last quarter, aud, closing a wide gap,
swept under the score close on tho horse’s
quarter.
The second heat was a neck aud neck race
for the first halt, the Girl having the best of
it,aud on the last quarter going to the front,
aud coming under the string some lengths
The*Girl led the way at the start for tho
third heat and held’her place all round,
though closely pressed by Robin,who failed,
however, to close the gap, and the heat was
taken by the mare, with a couple of lengths
to spare.
Amid much excitement the horses came
to the score for the fourth heat, aud a fine
start was effected with the Girl in the lead.
When she passed the stand at the end of
first half mile the horse was a dozen
lengths behind and it was found had cast a
shoe. Iu obedience to Captain Doyle's wish
the heat was declared off, r.nd, after Robin
Hood was shod, was trotted over again, re
sulting in a victory for the Girl by soma
lengths, thus giving her the race. We ap
pend tho summary:
M. J. Dovlo’s s. m. Irish Girl 2 1 1 J
Tat Somers’s g. g. Robin Hood.. .1 2 2 2
Time, 3:08; 2:59; 3:01; 3:00.
The slow time was the result of the heavy
state of the track. Robin Hood, it is claim
ed, was not in prime condition for a race.
Fire I^ast Night.
At ten minates to ton o’clock last night
an alarm of fire was sounded from station
fourteen, corner of Broughton and Whitaker
streets, caused by tbe discovery of fire in
the store of Mrs. A. Apple, No. 224 Barnard
street, between Congress lane aud Brough
ton street. The omoke was so dense when
the fire was first discovered as to prevent
any one going into the building, though the
flames at that time had made but little
headway. The Fire Department were
soon on the ground, and after about
half an hour’s work succeeded in extinguish
ing the flames and preventing communica
tion to the adjoining stores, or to the second
story, which was occupied by several fami
lies as private dwellings. Mrs. Apple was
insured for $6,000, of which Mr. B. E.
Guerard, agent, had $2,000 in the Girard
Fire Insurance Company of Philadelphia,and
M ,M. A. Cohen, agent, bad $4,000, of which
$2 000 were in the Home Insurance Compa
ny of Charleston, and $2,000 in
another company. The stock *PP® a JJ

an insurance adjuster

is damaged to the extent of several hundred
dollars.

A GRAND DEMONSTRATION BY TH*
SONS OF ERIN,
TRAGEDY ON THE GL t.F ltd ID.
Two Men Killed and One Severely
Wounded.
We learn from Mr. Clem Saussy the
following particulars of a tragedy that oc
curred on the Gulf Railroad, near the sixty-
one mile post, on Thursday evening.
Mr. Saussy, on Monday last, paid off some
of the railroad hands, including an extra
gang of negroes. Several of the latter
got drunk, and were very insult*
ting to a white man by the name of John
High. Some hard words were passed, but
no violence was resorted to, and the parties
finally dispersed.
On Thursday evening, however, about
dusk. High came up to a point just beyond
the sixty-one mile-post on a construction
train and encountered the gang again. Re
cognizing the negroes who had insulted
him before, he drew a revolver aud
commenced firing at them. The ne
groes were in a group, and High
tired so rapidly that they had no chance to
escape.
Lewis Brown was killed instantly, Wm.
Lovfcti was mortally wounded and died dur
ing the night, aud Stephen Brown was very
seriously wounded and was not expected to
recover. High empted his revolver aud
then escaped, siuce which time nothing has
been seen or heard of him. We under
stand ho had expressed the inten
tion of killing three of the
negroes. The negroes who were killed and
wounded belonged to the extra gang and
not the regular force of the road. They
got drunk after being paid off, and their
conduct to young High resulted in the
tragedy above noted.
Purlin.
Editor Morning Metes:
To prove to you tho worth of the informar
tion you gleaned from the New York Times
relative to the Parim, I would call your at
tention to the following. It says: “The
lesson for the day is taken from Ezekiel,
17th chapter, 8th to 16th verse, which relates
to the destruction of the Amalekites, the
people of Agag.”
If you will refer to this passage you will
find that it has no more reference to the de
struction of the Amalekites than to the man
of the moon. I am not aware that any por
tion of tho Book of Ezekiel is read in the
synagogue on Purim. I certainly did not
read any.
Judaism teaches: “If thine enemy be
hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he be
thirsty give him water to drink.”
“If'thou see thine enemy’s ox or ass
crouching under its burdep, thou shalt help
him to raise it up,”
“When thine enemy faileth rejoice not,
when he comes to disgrace let not thy heart
be merry, lest thou thereby incur God’s dis
pleasure.”
Every intelligent Israelite must feel pro
found pity for a mau like Haman, who came
to au ignominious ond through his fierce
and ungovernable passions, and any one who
could exclaim anywhere, “Cursed be he,”
“May his name perish,” is a barbarian.
What then must he be who ponld utter
such an exclaimation in a house dedicated
tj the worship of God?
As a Jewish minister I believe that great
as was Hainan's crime, it has long since been
forgiven by the loving and merciful Father
of mankind “who forgiveth iniquity, trans
gression and sin.”
From my boyhood to the present day, I
have never been in a synagogue where I
heard j>uy such horrible .expression as
“Cui-sed be Hama- 0 , may his name perish,”
and if anywhere there should tye an Israe
lite capable of uttering such an imprecation,
he has my profound commisseration for bis
utter ignorance of the teachmgs of bis
faith-
No one, Mr. Editor, can attacu anyblame

ter. The whole charaoter of the paragraph
which you quote from tbe New York Times
leads me to the belief that it was written by
somebodv who wished to have a lark. By
inserting* these few lines you will oblige,

Incident* of ihe Celebration—The Hiber
nian Banquet.
The natal day of St. Patrick dawned
bright and beautiful, and feirer weather
could nol have been desired for the demon
stration which every true hearted Irishman
delights to participate in in honor of his
name and fame. «At an early hour the
drummers and fifers were abroad, and the
fresh, brisk air of the March morn was re
sonant with the sounds of melody. Not
| only in Savannah, bat throughout this vast
continent were similar scenes presented,
which are accurately described in the fol
lowing lines:
The uoisy streets are supremely green,
And all the clans are in order;
A thousand waving flags are seen.
And eacc has green for its border.
Arrah ! But the land is all ablaze,
The bells have sounded their warning,
And the only tune the wide world plays.
Is “St. Patrick's Day in the Morning.”
Each lad appears all neatly dressed—
No monarch ever was bolder—
With a spray of shamrock in his breast
And a sash thrown over his shoulder;
And the lass she smiles upon the lad.
And toms no more in her scorning,
For she couldn’t resist his suit, bedad.
On *‘M. Patrick's Day in the Morning ”
Cch sure but the streets are a gala sight,
The people are all so frisky!
W’lth here aud there a bit of a fight,
The result of a drop of whisky I
If Mike and Pat come out of a spat,
W’lth eyes of their own adorning,
Devil a bit do they care for that
Ou “et. Patrick's Day in the Morning.”
You may traverse the world from the Northern
main
To the line of the hot eqaator;
Yon may go lrom Sahara's desert plain
To Vesuvius, close to the crater;
You are Certain to find an Irishman there,
If you come with never a warning,
And he’s sure to be humming the darling air
Of “St. Patrick’s Day in the Morning.
But, though you find him in distant parts,
And whether at sea or on dry land.
The tencere.-t spot in his heart of hearts
Is reserved for the Emerald Island.
The soil of his birth is his proudest boast,
And he’ll give you a whack lor a warning,
If you fail to respond to his patriot toast
Of “St. Patrick's Day in the Morning.”
OPEKING CEREMONIES.
The celebration was opened with religions
services, as has been customary for some
3ears, by the St. Patrick’s T. A. B. Society,
who commemorated their eighth anniversa-
iy. They had invited several other socie
ties to participate with them, and at eight
and a half o’clock iu the morning the socie
ties, after receiving the Bishop and clergy,
formed in the following order:
Savannah Volunteer Guards Baud.
Irish Jasper Greens.
Carriages with the Bishop aud Clergy.
St. Vincent dePaul Society.
Father Mathew’s T. A. B. Society.
St. John the Baptist T. A. B. Society.
St. Patrick's T. A. B. Society.
The Sodalities of the Cathedral and St. Pat
rick’s Parishes.
Under command of Grand Marshal James
D. Reynolds, with aids from the several
other societies, the procession proceeded
to St. Patrick’s Church, corner ol West
Broad aud Liberty streets, whore Pontifical
High Mass was held, the Jasper Greens par
ticipating with military honors. After these
ceremonies au interesting and eloquent dis
course, appropriate to the occasion, was de
livered by Bishop Gross.
SKETCH OF THE GREAT PATRON SAINT.
It is apropos that the Morning News
should refresh the memory of its readers
with a brief reference to the life and deeds
cf St. Patrick, as an introductory to its
account of the principal events and pro
ceedings of the day :
It is hardly necessary to say at the outset
that though he stands so high in the affec
tions of the children of the Emerald isle,
Sr. Patrick himself was not an Irishman.
He was born somewhere else, but where no
body exactly knows. England, Scotland,
Walts aud France have each advanced
claims to the distinction of being his na
tive land, and they all concur iu attributing
to him a nobler birth aud ancestry, but no
one has yet authoritatively determined the
truth. But about the year 388. wherever he
may then have been living, he was captured
by some pirates—probably some of those
“grand old Vikings” about whom New Eng
land poets are incessantly raving—and as
he was then a handsome and intelligent boy
of sixteen, they found little difficulty iu dis
posing ol him bb a Have to an Irish noble.
He was employed by his master as a
swine-herd, aud in that capacity drove
his hogs up and down about the
mountains of Sleamial>, in the county
of Antrim. For seven sad years he
faithfully fulfilled these menial duties, re
deeming* their servility by the cbeeriul fidel
ity which he threw into so unworthy a ser
vice. Daring this period, however, he ac
quired a knowledge of the Celtic tongue,
acdofthe manners, customs, history’ and
natioual character of the people among
whom his lot had been thrown. At last he con
trived to escape from captivity, and having
reached the Continent, entered the Church,
and, after due probation, was, for bis piety
and learning made a Bishop. He then re
solved to embark on the perilous mission
which has made his name immortal in the
hearts of the Irish people; and, having ob
tained the sanction of Pope Celestine, re
turned to Ireland to convert its inhabitants,
whom he had learned to love and respect, in
spite of the melancholy character of his for
mer life among them.
The story of the conversion of Ireland is
one of noble endeavor and patient perse
verance in well-doing in the midst of priva
tion aud suffering, and peril even of life.
Ireland was then completely under the in
fluence of that hideous Druidical form of
paganism which was as darkly terrible in
its rights aud traditions probably as the
religion now prevalent in the Fiji Islands.
On its great festivals the blood of human
beings was spilt upon the altars of the false
gods, and through its theology was elabo
rate, it was as foolish and as wickedly blas
phemous as that of Brahma or Gotama.
Thrown voluntarily amid a people almost
hopelessly devoted to a savage faith such as
this, aud absolutely under the influence and
teachings of their heathen priests, St.
Patrick mav easily be conceived to have had
a hard task to perform. IJe would, indeed,
have failed, but for the assistance of heaven,
which conferred upon him the power of
working miracles. It would take a volume
to recount these in detail, but a few among
the more notorious of them may be
referred to. Thus, for example, the
Saint having been forced by
the Druids to flee for his life into the moun
tains, he found himself and followers in
midwinter without any protection from the
weather, and destitute even of the neces
sary materials to build a fire with. He com
manded his ctmpanious, however, to col
lect a number of pieces of ice; and these
having been piled in a heap together, he
breathed upon them, aud forthwith flames
burst forth from their midst, and the exiles
for conscience Bake found themselves seated
around a pleasant and cheerful tire. But
the greatest of all his miracles was the ban
ishment of all reptiles from the island he
loved so well. He is said to have accom
plished this feat by beating a dram, which
he struck so vehemently that he knocked a
hole in it; but au angel having mended it,
the success of the miracle was complete.
Not only did he ttyus free Ireland for the
moment from auvtning in the shape of the
deceiver of Eve, but he imparted to the soil
of Ireland the charming property of befog
so obnoxious to reptiles that they instantly
die on touching it.
Not alone, however, did the Saint labor in
Ireland, for the names of many places in
Scotland, and the popularity of his name in
that country for many ages, prove that he
extended his ministrations, and with the
same remarkable success as among Irish
men, to the land of the Gae l. Fall of years
and sanctity, he died at last on the 17th of
March—the day ever since associated with
his memory—in the 12lBt year of his age.
The chief symbol of the day among Irish
men is the wearing of the shamrock, which
greatly resembles in its general character a
species of clover, though the leaf is smaller.
The origin of the custom is said to have
been that the Saint, finding that the do'c-
triue of the Trinity was one of the hardest
and most knotty obstacles to the conversion
of the heathen, used the three leaves qpon a
single stem as an illustration of this holy
mystery. Antiquarians have, it may be
stated in this connection, taken considerable
pleasure in displaying the t olose analogy be
tween the word shamrock and the Arabic
word for trefoil—shamrakh—a plant which
was also held sacred in ancient Persia as a
symbol of the Zoroasterian triads. Pliny,
the Roman naturalist and philosopher, curi
ously enough, also ‘states that snakes and
toads are never fonnd in a country where
trefoil is abnudant, and that it contains
some mystic virtue which makes it an infal
lible remedy for the stings of all varieties of
venomous creatures.
ANNIVERSARY MEETINGS.
The Hibernian Society held their 64th an
niversary meeting at the Marshall House at
nine o’clock in the morning.
Considerable business was presented, but
was deferred until the next meeting, and
the society proceeded to elect officers for
the ensuing year, with the following result,
the names being reported by the Committee
on Nominations :
President—Capt. John McMahon.
Vice President—Major John Foley.
Treasurer—John Ryau, Esq.
Rec >rding Secretary—M. T. Quinan, Esq.
Corresponding Secretary—D. O'Conner,
Esq.
Standard Bearer—J. llcCrohan.
Tbe Irish Union Society held their 29th
anniversary meeting at St. Patrick’s Hall,
which was yery largely attended. After the
transaction cf the usual routine business
tbe society proceeded to the consideration
of special matters, which will be made pub
lic at some future time.
THE PARADE AND REVIEW.
About ten o’clock the various organiza
tions began to assemble on South Broad
street, the usual rendezvous, to be formed
in procession for the general parade J
tho societies were oat in *-—* — 1
the procession was, as we predicted it would
be, one of the largest that has ever taken
place in Savannah. The Irish Jasper Greens,
under command of Capt. John Flannery,
presented a remarkably fine appearance and
were very highly complimented by their
comrades of the other military companies,
who were among the spectators that lined
the sidewalks. They had out fifty-seven
men in ranks, the largest number we believe
that has been paraded by any one of our
volunteer companies since the reorganization
of the military. Shortly alter 11 o’clock the
procession was formed under the direction of
Grand Marshal John A. Feuger and his effi
cient aid John W. Reilly, in the following
order:
1. Hibernian Brass Band.
2. Irish Jasper Greens.
3. Hibernian Society.
4. Irish Union Society.
5. Workingmen's Benevolent Association,
6. Carriages containing Clergy.
7. Savannah Yoluuteer Guards Band.
8. St. Patrick’s T. A. B. Society.
9. Father Mathew’s T. A. B. Society.
10. St. Vincent de Paul L. and B. Society.
11. St. John the Baptist T. A. B. Society.
The streets were thronged with people,
and the ladies were out in large numbers,
the aspect of the city befog that of a grand
gala occasion, and such indeed it was, as
we have rarely seen a St. Patrick’s day more
enthusiastically observed. Green bows,
green ribbons, sprigs of shamrock ana
green feathers were to be seen everywhere
and the inspiration of the hour seemed to
be
“ Oh the Shamrock, the green immortal Sham
rock !
Chosen leaf
Of Bard and Chief,
Old Erin's native Shamrock l"
The procession being formed, the bands
struck up a lively Irish air and tbe colnmn
moved on briskly down South Broad to East
Broad, to the Bay, passing in
REVIEW
before the Mayor and Aldermen, who were
assembled in the balcony of the Exchange.
Bay street at this point was densely
crowded with hnman befogs, and the
Custom House steps were completely lost
sight of in an immense and lovely gathering
of bright and joyous ladies. Some idea of
the length of the pr session may be had
when we state that the column extended
from the Exchange to between Montgomery
and West Broad streets. It was truly an
imposing display. The parade was contin
ued through several principal streets, and
about one o’clock the procession reached
Chippewa square, where the column was
halted. Here the Jasper Greens
marched into the centre or the square
facing west, and the Hibernian and Irish
Urion Societies formed on Hull street, facing
south, Workingmen’s Benevolent Associa
tion and St. Patrick’s T. A. B. Society ou
tha east of the square facing west, Father
Mathew’s T. A. B. Society, St. John the
Baptist T. A. B. Society and St. Vincent de
Paul Society on Perry street, facing florth.
When the various societies had thus been
placdftiu position, the Jasper Gieens were
drawn up in line, and prepared to fire the
usaal
SALDTE.
Three rounds wera fired, and so well
drilled were the men that each round
sounded as one gun. Considering the num
ber firing, tbe salute was one of the host we
,have ever heard. It was a credit to the
Greens, and it would have been to any mili
tary company in the city.
After firing the salute, the Greens formed
on Bull street, facing west, and saluted the
societies as they passed by, and the compli
ment was returned by the societies baiting
on the green ou South Broad street, east of
Bull, aud saluting tho Greens as they
inarche l by. After this the parade was
dismissed, aud the several societies pro
ceeded to their respective headquarters.
AFTER THE PARADE.
By invitation of the Hiborniau Society
the Jasper Greens accompanied that body
to the Marshall House, where a substantial
lunch was spread and to which all were in
good trim after the fatigue of the parade, to
do full justice. Punch and lemonade were
plentiful, and, after an informal social dis
cussion of the good things, the
guests and hosts parted, not, however,
before Mr. Peter Donelan had proposed a
complimentary toast iu honor of the Greens,
which was drank with great enthusiasm.
After the departure of the Greens, the
Hibernian Society adjourned to meet in the
evening at the Marshall House to enjoy
their anunal dinner.
The Jasper Greens wero subsequently
entertained at their armory, by the honor
ary and exempt members of the company,
aud enjoyed a very pleasant hour or so.
After the parade the members of the Irish
Union Society, on invitation of Capt. Doyle,
marched to St. Patrick’s Hall, where they
partook of a collation prepared for them by
their late President. Mirth ruled the hour,
and were it not that many present had to go
to the race at Thunderbolt we would have
some interesting items to report of the
Irish Union. The absence of their Presi
dent, Col. A. R. Lamar, was alluded to in
very appropriate language by some of the
members, aud the hope expressed that on
all future occasions the worthy Colonel
would preside at the re-unions of the society.
Several of the other societies had social
re-unions, at which the customary pleasant
ries were indulged in.
THE HIBERNIAN’S BANQUET.
The annual banquet of the Hibernian
Society took place at the Marshall House at
eight o’clock, and was one of the most
pleasant of the many enjoyable re-unions of
this society that wo have had the
pleasure of attending. The feast was pre
pared by that prince of caterers, Mr. L.
Collini, the very efficient aud polite steward
of the house. The tables were a marvel of
exquisite taste aud skilfull culinary art.
They were indeed beautiful to tho sight and
sufficiently attractive to tempt even the
most satiated. After a discussion of the
edibles, the cloth was clearel and tho
REGULAR TOASTS *
were announced by the President ot the so
ciety, as follows:
1. “St. Patrick’s Day.—The natal day of
him who gave Christianity to Ireland.”
Responded to by Capt. John McMahon.
2. “Our Invited Guc3ts.—To them, gen

Responded to by Capt. W. W. Paine in a
very pleasing manner, characteristic of that
geniai gentleman.
3. “Our Sister Societies.—United in a
common cause, to them we give the warm
grasp of fellowship. May they succeed to

Responded to by J. J. McMahon, Esq., of
the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association in
a very effective style.
4. “Ireland.—Tfie land of St. Patrick,
O’Connejl and Moore. The 6acred spot
around which the tenderest and holiest af
fections of the Irish heart cling. Though
her lot has ever been pregnant with suffer
ing and oppression, yet has she ever re
mained green in the hearts of her sons. May
the bright luminary ol her day soon shine
over her in all its radiance as a free and in-
depeudent republic.”
Responded to by Mr. Peter Donelan, who,
as usual, was earnest, forcible and impres
sive, and zealous in the advocacy of the
rights and glories of old Ireland.
5. “State of Georgia—Though overcome
for a short time by the misrule and corrup
tion of her enemies, yet has she, by the en
ergy of her sons and the wisdom of her leg-
ioiatioc, regained her former rank and dig
nity as the Empire State of the South.”
Responded to'by Captain George A. Meroer
in* an eloquent and beantifui speech, in
which the full meed of justice was awarded
our adopted citizens of Ireland for their
labors and efforts in rendering dear old
Georgia entitled to the name and fame of
the Empire State of the South.
6. “The Press—The most powerful me
dium through which our present state of
prosperity and independence is preserved.
May she always generate aud foster sound
qpi’nions.”
Mr. J. H. Estill was called for to re
spond to this toast, bat in his absence,
Mr. B. H. Richardson, city editor of the
Morning News, wss summoned to the
floor, and responded by tendering the
regrets .of Mr. Estill, for his in
ability to be present, and offering in his be
half, and at his request, the following senti
ment:
“The President of the Hibernian Society,
Captain John McMahon—A living illustra
tion of what industry and energy can do for
a workingman. His example is not only
worthy of their emulation, but that of every
young man in our city.”
7. “Woman—The guardian of our homes
aud hearts, the companion of oi;r poverty,
the sharer of our prosperity, the comforter
of our affliction—she whose name is sym
bolized in constancy, affection, devotion.”
Responded to by Captain Robert FaL
ligant, who closed a very well-timed and
brief speech by singing a whistling song,
in which woman was the theme, and which
elicited vociferous applause.
8. “Savannah—May she ever increase iu
prosperity and commercial worth.”
Responded to by Dr. R. D. Arnold in a style
which threw the company, rife for any good
hit, in the throes of pleasurable excitement.
9. “Judicial.—The highest of haman in
stitutions ; may it always be graced by rep
resentative men, who will make of it a tribu
nal through which vice is stricken with con
sternation, innocence is reassured, and the
triumph of justice is established.” Re
sponded to by Mr. J. B. San say in a speech
eulogistic of the judiciary of this country,
the safeguard of liberty, and closing with
this sentiment: “That while Ireland had
been pregnant with suffering the throes of
her travail have brought forth sons whose
fame is worthy of any country. ’
This closed the regular toasts, and the
spirit of the evening was ready for the fan
that always ensues, and next in
order were the
VOLUNTEER TOA8T9,
the ball being started by Mr. Peter Done
lan, who gave the name of Mr. George B.
Cumming, ex-President of the society.
This brought out Mr. Wi Grayson Mann,
who tendered Mr.(Jamming's regrets and of
fered the following sentiment, which he sup
plemented by a fine address:
“Saint Patrick—adopted son of Ireland—
Naturalized in the affections of Irishmen by
a consanguinity illustrated by this day, con
secrated to a r* f c .ony which will be cher-
iahedjjjJ£~'^rggH while our Irish heart

President McMahon announced that the
corresponding secretary, Mr. Deqms O’Con
nor, had several letters, received from in
vited guests, and the reading of the same

O’Connor then read the following:

THE COURSE OF COTTON.
An Upward Tarn—The Bulls Showing
I.oncer Horns.
Capt. Falligane at this
i juncture|offered i
Irishman—Adam ’
which was received with applause.
Mr. A. H. Lighthall was then called upon
and responded briefly, expressing his ap
preciation of the courtesy that had been
shown him as a stranger, and tendering his
best wishes for tbe success of the society
and the cause of Ireland.
Mr. P. W. Meldirm.our talented and gifted
young townsman, was next called upoD, and
alluding to the telegraphio correspondence
from Charleston, stated, that it had called
up memories of the past iu which the gal
lant Jasper figured conspicuously. In a
very eloquent and beautiful speech Mr. Mel-
drim then gave a running sketch of the ex
ploits of the gallant Irishman, and touch
ingly alluded to the fact that no monu
ment or marble urn had been
reared to the memory of this heroic
son of the Emerald Isle. He closed this
peroration with a recitation, in admirable
style, of the following poem by our lateldis-
tlnguished fellow citizen, Hon. ^R- M.
Charlton: \
’Twas amidst a scene of blood
On a bright autumnal day,
When misfortune like 4 flood
Swept our fairest hopes away.
"Twas on Savannah's plain,
On the spot we love so well,
Amid heaps of gallant slain
That the daring Jasper fell.
lie had borne him in the fight
Like a so'dier in his prime.
Like a bold and stalwart knight
Ot the glorious olden time;
And unharmed by sabre blow.
And untouched by leaden ball
He had b. ttled with the foe
Till he heard the trumpet’s call.
But he turned him at tha sound,
For he knew the strife was o’er.
That in vain on Freedom's ground
Had her children ehed their gore.
So he slowly turned away
With the remnant of the band,
Who, a-Lid the bloody fray
Had escaped a toe man's hand.
But his banner caught bis eye.
As it trailed upon the dust,
And he saw his comtade die.
Ere he yielded up his trust.
“To the rescue,” loud he cried.
“To the rescue, gallant men,”
And he dashed into the tide
Of the battle stream again.
And then fierce the contest rose
O’er its field ot broider’d gold,J
And the b ood of friends and foes
Stained alike its silken fold;
But unheeding wound and blow,
He has snatched it ’midst tbe strife-
lie has borne that flag away,
But its ransom is his life.
It was thus that Jasper fell,
'Neath that bright autumnal sky;
Has a stone been rear’d to tell
Where he laid him down to die?
To the rescue, spirits bold ’.
To the rescue gallant men I
Let the marble page unfold
All his daring deeds again.
Major John Foley was called on and made
a few pleasant remarks, and. referring to the
allusions of Mr. Meldrum to Sergeant
Jasper, directed attention to the fact that
the first Lieutenant of the Irish Jasper
Greens, Mr. Peter Reilly, was present and
expressed a desire to hear from him. In
response to vociferous calls Lieut. Reilly
arose and made one of the most felicitous
and admirably conceived speeches of the
evening, which received a mosi ap
propriate and excellent finale, in the follow
ing sentiment, which he quoted in fine
style :
“The same good *oil sustaining both,
Must both united flourish;
But can not give the orange growth
And cea^e the green to nourish.
Then let the orange lillie be
Thy badge, my patriot brother ;
The everlasting green for me,
And we for one another.
Remarks were made in response to calls
by Mr. John Ryan, the popular treasurer of
the society, Mr. J. C. Duggan, Dr. Arnold,
Capt.Faliigant and Gen.R.H. Anderson, who
in closing his brief speech tend rea a com
pliment to “One whom he considered illus
trated the true Irishman of Savannah, who
in the troublous times at Fort Pulaski, had
been the first to say, “never surrender,” and
who was as valiant a soldier as he was a vafor
able citizen—Major John Folep.
This compliment elicited tumultuous ap
plause, an evidence of Major Foley’s popu-
iariiv.
Speeches, soDgs and sentiments from
others filled up the measure of the even
ing’s enjoyment, but when the firBt hour
of the morn had been tolled, we could tarry
no longer, as daties called us away, and we
were compelled to leave the pleasant com
pany.
Between thfe intermissions of the regular
toasts the Savannah Volunteer Guards band
played the following
POPULAR AIRS,
each appropriate to the toast which pre
ceded it:
1. “St. Patrick’s Day,"
$. “Still I Love Thee.”
3. “Then You will Remember Mo.”
4. “Rorv O’Moore,”
5. “Dixie,”
6. “Sweet Home.”
7. “The Girl I Left Behind Me.”
8. “Home, Sweet Home.”
9. “Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself.”
Mr. Pete Charles and Mr. L. Collini were
present, aud with an efficient and well
trained corps of waiters, contributed to the
success and pleasure of the banquet by
their nuremitting attentions.
The market has undergone many frac
tional fluctuations since onr last review,
says the New York Bulletin ot the J4th,
with the tone at times quite feverish. The
turn for the better, however, which set in
with the first of the month has, on the
whole, gained further headway, and the
average of values is on a higher scale. The
stimulating points have not been of a re
markably decided character, but appeared
to develop just when the position was ripe
for them, and the “balls” have been ena
bled to show a ranch longer pair of horns
than for many weeks past. Receipts at the
ports have been smaller, and though
in reality the faffing off is not to
the extent many -had calculated, the
check to the steady flow of
cotton to the seaboard has had its influehce
to greater or less extent. Tbe main surface
influence, however, was to be found in the
cable dispatches from Liverpool, and as ar
rivals would vary in cost, our market would
respond, though more readily to au advance
than to a decline. The statistical position
at Bombay, too, has been construed as of a
strengthening character, and though none
appeared lucSned to invest heavily, cotton
6oemed to be gaining friends. Yet we have
fonnd a great many dealers who en
tertain just about as confident views
on the other side of the question as
ever, and while deterred from operating
freely by the comparatively easy rates, ex
press a strong belief that valaes must go to
a lower point than any reached yet before a
good, tolid, healthy tone can become a fixed
fact. Neither our own or Manchester Bpin-
ners are as yet attracted freely, it is argued,
aud private advices from abroad contain few
really encouraging expressions, and it is
generally charged that the current condition
of the market is simply the result of a com
bination whose manipulations have for the
time being controlled the domestic and for
eign speculative operations, but only at the
expense of the most streuous exertions.
Spots have been rather more active at a
slightly higher range of prices established
early in the week, and the feelfog compara
tively firm throughout. Spinners for a day
or two were affording a very fair outlet for
stock; but the call came iu the main from
one leading operator, aud was understood to
cover a number of lots of cheap low grade
cotton. Buyers on home account as a rale
are still adhering to the haud-to-month pol
icy, taking only snch quantities as they
know they can use to immediate advantage,
and selecting pretty closely on quality,
with a steady crowding for low cost.
Those who insist upon good to fine grades,
however, find they must pay lull market
rates to get them, as the supply is not
liberal, and holders offer indifferently. Ex
porters have also bought a little more freeiy,
mostly from the medium grades, bat the de
mand was not of an open or general charac
ter, and a place is understood to havo been
fully provided for all parcels before negotia
tions were closed with sellers here. The
general stock is reasonably full, but not
allowed to weigh upon the market iu any
case. At the close a farther slight advance
was made.
Contracts have sold with less freedom
than last week, aud a great many that were
bought have again been unloaded, so that
the fresh engagements at present outstand
ing are no larger, if as large, as at the close
of tho preceding review. In fact, with the
severe contest going on from day to day be
tween tho opposing interests, there has
been a large number of “flyers” taken for
quick torus on the rapid fluctuations and it
was no uncommon occurrence to find opera
tors who wero free buyers in the morning
among the most anxions sellers during the
afternoon. Some of the operators who last
week went over from the short to the long
side, have again changed from and sold out,
and developed no subsequent policy of a de
cided character, whil« houses, who made
the change with them were among tho most
persistent “balls.” Evidences prevail, how
ever, of a very nervous feeling ou both sides
of the question, and there seems to be a fear
that “somebody” is getting in too deeply.
The “clique” has again been a bugbear to
many, bat if any such combination really
exists, it has not as yet shown its full power.
About the strongest period of the market
was toward the close, and on Friday and
Saturday values were advancing in sympa
thy with Liverpool and reduced e stimates
of roceipts at the ports for the coming
week.

Important to Pilots. «*
The following, from the Georgetown
(South Carolina) Times, will be of interest
to the fraternity in this city;
“A case was tried before Trial Justice
Hucks on Monday last, which involved some
important principles in reference to the pilot
law. In this case the evidence showed that
a pilot spoke a vessel outside of the bar, in
structed the Captain how he might get over
tbe bar, and left him to board a larger ves
sel further out; another pilot actually
boarded the first vessel just before she
crossed^he bar, which was not buoyed out.
The first pilot claimed pilotage, which was
paid him, and this action was to recover tbe
same amount of pilotage from the master of
♦ he vessel. The justice oharged the jury
that the constructive services rendered by
the first pilot was not enough under the law
to entitle him to pilotage, and that the ser
vices rendered by the second pilot were the
services contemplated by law. A verdict
was rendered for the plaintiff.”

The Only Way to Conquer Djspepnia.
It is perfectly preposterous to introduce pepsin
and other artificial solvents into the stomach in
the expectation that they will assist digestion by
actiDg on the food itself. They will not. Nor is
it possible thus to overcome dyspepsia. The only
way to conquer that disorder and prevent the
numerous diseases and disabilities which it assur
edly provokes, is to renew the activity of gastric
action by strengthening the stomach. Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters eradicates the most inveterate
forms of indigestiuu hy restoring vitality to the
alimentary organs and those which are tributary
to them. The liver, the bowels, the kidneys and
the nerves, no less than the stomach, experience
the invigorative effects of that standard- tonic,
which possesses alterative properties that greatly
enhance ita beneficial influence, and give a per
manence to its effects which they would not[
otherwise possess.

Dangrrooaly Injured.
Yesterday afternoon a negro, whose name
we did not learn, while under the inflaenoe
of liquor, attempted to make his way into
St. Patrick's Hall, where the Irish Union
Society were enjoying a collation. There
was a crowd around the door, and the negro
was either tripped up by some one or lost
bis footing on the landing, for he sud
denly went heels over head to the bottom
of the stairs. He was seriously injured, his
head befog badly battered. He was placed
in a wagon and sent to the hospital.
Plain Talk.
There is a preservative principle in Sozodont
that effectually preserves the teeth from decay.
Chemists pronounce it wholesome. Rich and
po<>r endorse it. No lady ever tried it without
approving its cleansing and purifying properties
It outsells all other dentifrices. Ask for it, and
take no substitute.
