The MiiiHlrclN LaM Night—A Grand Sucre**. Simmons, Slocum A: Sweatnam’s Min strels made their first appearance in Savan nah last night to a large audience, the pres ence of numerous ladies being partieularly noticeable. The programme was a most entertaining one, and embraced a variety of songs, sketches, burlesques and specialties. The first part was particularly pleasing, the quartette possessing remarkably fine voices, and all the songs were capitally rendered. “The Knot of Blue and Grey,” by C. F.Shat- tuck, “Rockand Roll Dem,” by Billy Sweat- nam, and “Dorkin’s Night,” by Fred Waltz, were finely sung and loudly encored. The “Rose of Killamey” was most exquisitely sung and elicited enthusiastic plaudits, whilst “Don’t Get Weary,” by Lew Sim mons, brought down the house. Sweatnam was somewhat hoarse, but his unique man ners tickled the risibilities of the audience and compensated in a slight degree for this drawback, as it w ere. The jokes and dialogues were fresh and new, with plenty of pungent wit and devoid of all indelicacy. Mr. E. N. Slocum, the middle man, is one of the best interlocutors we have seen on t he stage, and in his special ties he proved himself a clever actor. The “Parade of the Colored Police” was original, and well given, but the hit of the evening, in the special line, was the “Telephone,” which was simply immense. Goss and Fox are. we may say, inimitable in their sketches, and Lew Simmons’ original specialties en title him to the highest praise and gained for him last evening many admirers, who Were greatly entertained. The Excelsior Quartette, Shattuck, Waltz, Kelly and Ste vens, favored the house with some choice selections, which drew forth appreciative applause. The entertainment, which was one of the best minstrel performances ever given in this city, closed with a ludic rous extravaganza, entitled “ Other Peo ple’s Children.” We must not omit to men tion Eddie Fox in his great violin solo, with imitations, which was truly a feature. We can commend the company as well worth seeing. It is composed of eighteen artists, all good in their line, and deserving the success they have earned. They give their farewell performance to-night, and we advise those who wish to have a pleasant evening to attend. Races at Thunderbolt. There was a large attendance at the Thun derbolt Park course yesterday afternoon to witness the trotting race, mile heats, for a purse of $100, the first horse to receive $60, the second horse $40. The racing was good and the result was as follows, the broken heats extending the sport until nearly dark. The entries were as follows ; M. ,J. Doyle entered s. rn. Wild Irish Girl. P. Somers entered b. m. Maud. J. A. Chambers entered s. h. Hickory Jack. Bui two horses put in appearance, Maud and the Girl. The following named gentle men were selected as judges : Messrs. G. W, Hussey, Jno. Locklinand M. M. Sullivan. On drawing for position Maud won the pole. Everything being in readiness the horses were called up for the first heat, and got the word to a good start. The heat was closely con tested throughout, Maud winning in 3:01, In this heat the Girl lost one shoe and the race was postponed until a smith came from the city to put another one on. Second Ileat—After one false start the word was given, the horses trotting well to gether for the first half mile. In the last half the Girl gave her opponent the go by, winning the heat in 3:03%. Third heat resulted the same as the second. Fourth Jleat—When the word was given Maud was a length ahead, the position she kept throughout the heat. Time 2:59#. Each horse won two heats and dark com ing on, the owners were consulted as to con tinuing the race or postponing until to day, The owners being unable to agree, the judge sent out the patrol judge and ordered the horses to get ready for the final heat. This was the most elosely con tested of any of the heats in the race, the horses trotting side by side for nearly the whole mile, lu coming up to the home stretch the Girl gave her opponent the go bv, winning the heat in 2:58, thereby win ning the race. On an In*pcctin!£ Tour. Gen. Hancock left the city yesterday at nine a. m., on the United States steamer Dis cover, to inspect Forts Jackson and Pulaski. He was accompanied by our fellow-citizen, Capt. W. W. Paine, Majors Mitchell and Andrews, and Capt. Post of the United States Army, and Col. Atkins, Collector of the port. His Honor the Mayor was invited, but his official duties prevented him from joining the party. Gen. Hancock expressed himself pleased "with the works, and the im provements, both of the fortifications and of the river channel, and spoke of the beau ty and the thriving appearance of our city, and predicted a great future for Savannah.

The Sabbath school temperance concert at the Congregationalist Church (colored), on Sunday night last, was a grand success. There were sixty-seven different parts per formed. The music was excellent and the recitations were well rendered. The first declamation gave President Lincoln’s views on temperance. The recitatious were mostly from the Bible, giving the biblical authori ties on temperance. The exercises were lis tened to with marked attention, though the house was crowded in every part, the seats full and all the standing room occupied. I'nmailable Letter*. Held tor Postage.—Mrs. Geo.

The Parade—Oration at the Theatre —Social Reunion—Tlie Hibernian** Anniversary Banquet. The anniversary of St. Patrick's day hav ing fallen on Sunday, the event was cele brated yesterday with the usual eclat by our warm-hearted Irish fellow-citizens. THE HIBERNIAN' SOCIETY held their sixty-sixth anniversary meeting at the Marshall House at 9 o'clock in the morning, Captain John McMahon, President, in the chair, and a large number of members present. The usual business on such occasions was transacted. W. Grayson Maun, Esq., Chair man of the Committee on Officers for the ensuing year, reported that the President and Vice President had requested that they be not nominated, but that the committee felt their places could not be better filled, and, therefore, reported the following named gentlemen as officers for re-election: John McMahon, President. John Foley, Vice President. John Ryan, Treasurer. M. T. Quinan, Recording Secretary. D. O’Connor, Jr., Corresponding Secretary. J. McCrohan, Standard Bearer. They were unanimously elected. Messrs. P. Kehoe and Felix 3. Prender- gast were admitted as members. Vice President John Foley was instructed to ascertain why no attention had been paid to the grave of Hon. John J. Kelly, the for mer President, and who had made provision for a monument in his will. The various societies who had received property under the will had contributed toward the object, but the executor or administrator had failed so far to do anything. The society then took a recess until 11 o’clock, when they assembled on South Broad street. IRISH JASPER GREENS. This splendid corps, under command of Capt. John Flannery, assembled at their rendezvous about ten o'clock, and made a short parade through the streets. They had out about fifty men, and made a very fine appearance, their excellent marching on the Bay being particularly commented upon. After the parade they proceeded to South Broad street to escort the societies to the Theatre. WORKINGMEN’S BENEVOLENT SOCIETY composed of the hard working, industrious sons of toil, made a. very fine parade, hav ing in ranks nearly one hundred and fifty members. THE PROCESSION was formed on South Broad street, the Jas per Greens acting as escort, when the liue of march was taken up South Broad to Bull, to Hull, to the Theatre. THE DEMONSTRATION. considering the fact that several of the large societies being religious in their char acter, and having observed the day on Sun day, did not participate, was most credit able and imposing. The streets were thronged with people, and the familiar sprig of green was everywhere to be seen. From the Morning News cupola floated proudly the mammoth flag of Ireland, whilst green Hags were displayed from the Marshall House and other places, and Ludden & Bates had a full line of bunting thrown across Whitaker street from their building. The weather was charming, and no finer day could have been desired for the celebration, i Everyone seemed in jovial humor, and the desire appeared general to have a good time. Around the Theatre a large crowd had collected some time before tne opening of the doors, and before the societies had reached the ground the entire interior, ex cept that portion reserved for the societies, was occupied. On the arrival of the Socie ties, they filed in regularly and in order, and took the" seats in the parquette. ON THE STAGE the flags of the Greens and the Hibernians were planted at opposite corners, and seats were arranged in a circle for the Presidents and officers of the societies and the Greens, the orator and the invited guests. Among those on the stage we noticed Rev. Mr. Har ley and Mayor Wheaton. The Working men’s Society were accompanied by the Hi bernian Brass Band, and the Hibernian 8*- ciety by the Savannah Volunteer Guards Band, who also occupied seats in the par quette. After the large audience had been seated and order secured, W. Grayson Mann, Esq., advanced and in a few remarks appropriate to the occasion, introduced in well merited and complimentary terms the talented orator of the day, P. W. Meldrim, Esq., whose rising in response was the signal for the most vociferous applause. When the noise had subsided, Mr. Mel drim, whom we regretted to observe was suffering from a severe cold and indisposi tion, stepped forward and spoke as follows: THE ORATION—IRELAND IN AMERICA. Ladies and Gentlemen: To-day the guardian spirit of Ireland sits on Tara’s Hill bearing in her hand Erin’s harp with the green im mortal shamrock crowned. From those harp strings, with the rising of the sun, sweet strains of music come across the waters, striking upon the hearts of Irishmen and the sons of Irishmen and awakening responsive echoes wherever the foot of man imprints the solid earth or the white sail bounds o’er the moving sea. Attracted by that silent music which touches not the ear but the heart, the sons and daughters of Ireland have gathered here to-day to do honor to our Patron Saint and to the land we love. [Applause.] It has been said that passing clouds take shape from the surface of the earth over which they pass. Certainly it is that the physical peculiarities of a country enter largely into the formation of the character of the people who dwell therein. No land is more varied than Ireland. From Gal way Bay to the Hill of Howth; from the Giants Causeway to Cape Clear; from the Round Towers, hoary and venerable with the learning and civilization of pre-^toric Erin, to the bogs humid and reeking with the squalid misery and enforced iguoranee of modern Ireland; from Tara’s Hill glori ous in royalty, liberty and religion, to the sweet Vale of Avoea, “in whose bosom the bright waters meet,” all is variety. The Irish people, made up of the Celts, the Phoenicians, the Milesians, the Danes and the Saxons, are as varied as the land they inhabit. From a climate salubrious and healthy they received strength, and from an ancestry who taught even the Roman legions to respect them, they inherited courage. Their magnificent physical devel opment gave to them a restless energy, mak ing them the quick, impulsive, versatile, reckless,extravagant, fun-loving, dare-devil, generous, brave aud fraternal people that they are : loving a fight for the sake of a tight, fighting with the Dane, the Saxon and with each other; crimsoning every wave under every flag, dyeing every field in even- cause, Irish courage has resplendently shone wherever glory has been won. [Loud ap- plause.J The Irishman is no metaphysician : his quarrels are settled by blows, not words : he is no skeptic, he answers all doubts by the fidelity of his faith. The Irish character is intensely human, and the Irish mind strongly imaginative, hence, her literature is distinguished by the pathos of Stern, the tenderness of Gold smith, the humor of Swift, the beauty of Moore, the wit of Curran, the invective of Grattan, the eloquence of Burke, the inde pendence of O’Connell, and the heroic de votion of Emmet. [Cheers.) A people like the Irish are naturally tur- buleut. The yoke of the Saxon goaded them to desperation; stringent measures enacted for the extinction of nationality drove thetfi to excesses. These excesses but afforded pretexts for further persecutions, and thus persecuted, they became dwellers in every land, tilling the "armies of Europe and writ ing the names of Lacy and Brown among the Marshals of Russia, Nugeut and Kava- naugh among the proudest nobles of Aus tria, O'Reilly and O’Donnell among the haughtiest grandees of Spain, Sarsfield and Clare among the foremost knights of the chivalry of France, and McMahon, states man and soldier President of the French ! The nationality of Ireland had become ex tinct, and her sons were wanderers in every clime, when above the western horizon a new land rose as from the stroke of the en chanter’s wand ! Here were broad rivers and boundless forests; here were fertile plains and lofty mountains; here, separated by the breadth aud depth of ocean from the land by tvranny accursed, the Irishman made his Lome." True to his uational love of liberty, which tyranny could not extin guish, true to his high-born cour age, wkich defeat could not dis honor, he entered with zeal into the cause of liberty, and at Mecklenburg, a vear before independence was declared at Phila delphia, bade defiance to England’s power, and the standard of freedom raised. In the convention which assembled at Philadel pbia and declared that “these United colo nies, were and of right ought to be free and independent States",” we find appended to that declaration the names of Smith, Mc Kean, Taylor, Thornton, Read, Lynch, Car- roll and Rutledge. Such was the part that Irishmen played in the halls of colonial leg islation. The part that Irishmen play on the field of battle is but one part, that of the hero. [Loud applause.] No less than sixteen thousand Irishmen fought for American independence, among whom were Montgomery, Jasper, Barry, Sullivan aud Knox. From the heights of Quebec to the plains of Savannah, Irish blood was shed for American freedom. No death was more lamented, none more glori ous, than that of James Montgomery. Ih the full flush of manly health and strength, superbly educated, elegantly pol ished and courteously chivairic, he gave his sword and his life to the cause of independ ence. And here, on this verv spot nearly one hundred years ago another Irish hero, poor, uneducated, rude and rough, gave too his life, this land to save. • • T * as amidst a scene of blood, Oi? a bright autumnal day. When misfortune, like a flood. Swept our fairest hopes aw«S T«K on Savannah's plain. On the spot we love so well, Amid heaps of gallant slain. 'lhat the daring Jasper felL - He had borne him in the fight Line a soldier in his prime- Lik*- a bol-1 and stalwart knight Of the glorious olden time; And unharmed by sabre blow. And untouehed by leaden ball. He had battled with the foe Till he heard the trumpet's calL • But he turned him at the sound, For he knew the fight was o’er; That in vain on freedom’s ground. Had her children shed their gore. •• But his banner caught his eye. As it trailed upon the dust: And he saw his comrade die, Eire he yield up his trust. •To the rescue !* loud he cried: ‘To the rescue, gallant men I*— And he dashed into the tide Of the battle stream again. •• And then fierce the contest rose O'er its field of "broidered gold. And the blood of friends and foes Stained alike its silken fold: But, unheeding wound and blow. He has snatched it midst the strife- He 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 reared to tell Where he laid him down to die • To the rescue, spirits bold! To the rescue, gallant men' Let the marble page unfold All his daring deeds again. [This recital called forth the most enthu siastic applause and it was some time before silence could be obtained.] American independence was won and the Irishman found here a home where he en joyed the fruits of his labor and rose to influence, wealth and power, by the strength that in him was. A great coun try had to be built up, a country whose boundaries were oceans, whose resources were infinite, whose future was to eclipse the most glorious records of the past. But national prosperity, like individual wealth, is based on labor, and this labor the Irish supplied. The lines of railway that net this land, that bind ocean to ocean, mountain to sea, are laid upon thousands and ten thousands of Irish sleepers. The Irish in America have a long pedigree of toil, but there is a no bility in labor. The man who carried the hod yesterday may own the building to morrow, and he will own it, for patient en durance is god-like, and labor, like virtue, brings its reward. Go, see whose 6turdy arm it is that swings the ponderous sledge, whose steady eye, brave heart and true hand drives the steam-horse on his iron track. Go into the busy marts of trade and see whose brawny shoulders bear the burdens, whose energy and intelligence- directs the course of commerce. Turn to the great metropolis of this country, and see who rose highest as a merchant prince, a man whose business had assumed such vast pro portions that rather than relinquish it, he sacrificed the high office of Treasurer of these United States. Turn to the West, go to those mines whose hidden wealth has surpassed the fabled riches of the East, and there we find one who, thirty years ago, a penniless Irish boy, is now the richest of earth. Before his energy and enterprise the solid rook has melted, pouring into his lap the purest silver, until his wealth has reached the incredible sum of two hundred and seventy-five millions of dollars! But why need we go from our own home to pre sent illustrations of Irish enterprise and energy ? Look around you to-day in the mechanic art6, in general business, in timber, in cotton, in shipping, in banking, the leading men are Irishmen. I say it with no disparagement to others, but I repeat it in the language of soberness and truth, that amid the disasters of commerce, the Irish have stood as though their business were founded on a solid rock. The cause and the sole cause of their success have been the na tive energy, enterprise and industry that characterize them as a people. Yes, my friends, courage and labor do succeed. Oh ! if our beautiful home had but more brave hearts and toiling hands, she would not only be a queen in beauty, but a queeu in influ ence, wealth and power! It is not onyl, however, in physical labor and in those departments of life which chiefly require energy and tact that the Irishman in America has succeeded—for in the learned professions he has won high honor. Notably is this the case in the law. On the criminal side of it, where life and liberty are involv ed, pre-eminent among those whose genius like a glory shone, was Brady; and on the civil side, through its most tortuous intrica cies, unto the very truth itself, the intellect of O’Conor shed a clear and steady light. [Applause.] Ramsay in history and Calhoun in states manship have left* as deep an impress on the people and government of this country as it is possible for men to do. Strikingly in contrast with the principles taught by Calhoun was the position assumed by Jackson—Jackson, twice President of these United States—Jackson, the hero of New Orleans. In the war of 1812 as in the war of the Revolution, Irishmen were found in the fore front of battle, on flood aud field, sealing with their blood their devotion to the land of their adoption. In later days, when the Halls of the Montezumas echoed to the tread of the soldiers of freedom, Shields, and men who hear my voice to-day, followed the starry flag through the ehap- parel into the gates of Mexico. And in those days that just have swept like meteors bright and gory, when the Southern Cross and the Starry Flag were borne in a cause which either thought was just, the Irishman in America rallied at the first bugle call to fight and die for the side he happened to be on. Into the contest he rushed with the bravery which is his own. No grander ex hibition of soldierly discipline or high and chivairic courage is afforded by either side in the whole course of the war between the States than the charge of the Irish Brigade at Fredericksburg. McClellan had been re moved—Burnside was in command. A mag nificent army had been gathered. Long months of preparation preceded the forward movement. The cry was “On to Richmond!” The world was a spectator. The Rappa hannock is bridged, and across the plain to ward that low stone fence on the brow of yonder hill, as if on dress parade, march the Irish Brigade. See how still! Ominous of the coming storm ! It bursts ! The light nings of a thousand guns flash, and the thunder of the dread artillery rolls ! The Irish Brigade has melted like the snow on those Virginia hills which looked down on the dead and the dying. Again and again they form, advance and reel, and reeling die, defeated yet victorious, for they won and received, even from their foes, the laurel crown. It has thus ever been with Irish men, truer to every cause than their own. As the Irish Brigade perished at Fredericks burg, fighting for the flag of the Union, so another fell at Franklin, ’neath the shadow of the conquered banner. [Thuuderiug ap plause.] ****** “ I speak of one whose glory shone Like a meteor bright and grand. Who gave his name to the trump of fame. And liis blood to a generous land: The festive toast. The soldiers' boast, The type of a martial age— The foe of wrong. The soul of song. And the light of a future page. “ The base grew bold for power and gold. The vain through fear of scorn; The good wax strong in their hate of wrong— But he was a warrior born. From his eagle glance and stern ‘Advance!’ And his action swift as thought. The rank and file of his own fair Isle Their courage electric caught. As the whirlwind's path Shows its fiercest wrath Througlrthe lordliest forest pines. So the deepest wave Of the fallen brave Told where Cleburne crossed their lines. “ On Richmond's plain his captive tram Outnumbered the lost he led. And he won his stars in the field of Mars Where the glorious Sidney bled! ’Twas his to cope while a ray of hope Illum’d his flag—and then. ’Twas his to die, while that flag flew high. In the van of chivairic men. Nor a braver host Could Erin boast. Nor than he a more gallant knight Since the peel 1* .js Hugh Crossed the Avon dh‘\ And Baynal’s host a flight. “ There were eyes afar that watched your star. As it rose Mgrh the Southern Cross; [sped. There were hearts that bled when its course was And Old Ireland felt your loss. While her flowers shall blow, or her waters flow Through Shannon. Suir and Lee, The patriot's song shall roll along Their winding waves for thee! And they'll tell with pride How Cleburne died In the land of the free and brave: How his sword of might Was a beam of light. Though it led to an exile’s gr?ve.” [The applause which followed at the recital of these beautiful lines rendered it impossible for the speaker to proceed for some moments.] I have now briefly outlined Irish effort in America and will not, for fear of wearying you. attempt to trace in its results the fact that there are now in the United States two millions of native Irish and millions of Irish descent. Nor will I attempt to show how far there has entered into the character of the American people, the splendid physique, the restless energy,the dauntless courage, the sparkling wit, the quaint humor, the glow ing eloquence—yes, and the intemperance and want of education of the Irish people. Do such words as intemperance and want of education sound harshly on an occasion like this ? If they do, then they have done that which I intended them to do. The curse resting upon Ireland in America has been two-fold, that of intemperance and the want of education. As an Irishman, 1 claim therighlof speak ing to Irishmen, not words of Idle compli ment, but words of earnestness and truth. Di«l I shrink from telling you what I believe to be our duty to Ireland, I would be un worthy of the honor you have done me. I care not what may be vour strength of mind or body, what your energy, enterprise and industry, what the learning" and civilization of pre-historie Ireland, what the melody of her poets, the eloquence of her orators,"the prowess of her warriors, if we in this coun try fail in education aud in sobriety, we are foes to good government and traitors to Ire land. “England lost America by Ireland,” and England has lost Ireland by America, for the hope expressed by Benjamin Franklin in 1788, that, “We trtist the liberation of your country has been effected in America,” has been almost realized in 1878, by the abolition of the penal laws against education, the re moval of Catholic disabilities, the obtaining of the elective franchise, the enactment of the land act, and the dis-establishment of the Protestant Church in Ireland. The dif ference between Old and New Ireland is well represented by Mitchell driven in exile from Ireland to America, and Mitchell recalled from America to Ireland to take his seat in the Parliament of Great Britain and Ire land. All this has been the outgrowth of liberty in America. A sovereignty of right over force, of intelligence over prejudice, of people over government, has been estab lished. The voice that sounded in the forests of America was echoed in the palaces of Versailles. Poland heard the cry and placed her lance in rest. Ireland's harp sounded a fierce, wild note of battle. Greece waked from her long sleep and was living Greece no more. Venice, from her hundred isles, tore down the Austrian eagle aud the winged lion reared o'er her marble piles. Hungary, brave Hungary, caught the inspi ration and rushed to arms. All despotic thrones shookand trembled—some fell. To day there are no unlimited monarchies in Europe, for while monarchial in form, they are republican in substance: the throne is but a shadow, the real sovereignty—the power behind the throne—is in the "people. This power hasbeen obtained by the active living force of public opinion, which opinion comes and can only come from the education of the people. In" every lettef of the alphabet there lives a power more enduring than the armies of Kings or the thunders of Pontiffs. The day is past when mere physical force governs. [Applause.] The world is controlled by brain, not muscle. Opinion governs, not the sword. Arts conquer where arms fail. Liberty on the Potomac is felt on the banks of the Thames and Seine, yea, on the banks of the Liffey. Rising, then, above creed aud party, practicing habits of sobriety, educating the young, living virtuously, keeping faith pri vately and politically, let us do our duty, our whole duty to America, and then will we be doing our noblest duty to Ireland, for doing our duty to Ireland con sists in doing our duty to America. To do our duty to America the dissensions and prejudices of the old country must be ban ished. Happily they are dying; may they soon die and never live again! Let us re member that we are Irishmen, whether we wear the Orange or the Green: whether we kneel at Protestant altar or bow at Cath olic shrine. Let us remember that “The same good soil sustaining both. Maxes both united flourish; But cannot give the Orange growth. And cease the Green to nourish. Then let the Orange lily be Thy badge, my patriot brother; The everlasting Green for me. And we for one another.” [Loud applause.] During the delivery of the oration the fine brass band of Simmons, Slocums «fc Sweat nam’s Minstrels made their appearance at, the stage door of the Theatre, aud were quietly escorted to the seats at the rear ’ of the stage, and, at the conclusion of the address, compli mented the orator by playing “St. Pat rick’s Day in the Morning,” and the “Wick low Wedding,” which occasioned the most enthusiastic excitement among the audi ence. Mr. J. J. McGowan then proposed three cheers for the orator of the. day, which were given with a hearty good will, after which “Dixie” was played by one of the bands in the parquette, and the audience dispensed. The societies formed outside of the Thea tre. and marched to positions around the first section of Chippewa square, in which the Jasper Greens had been drawn up in line to fire the usual SALUTE IN HONOR OF THE DAY. Three volleys were fired in rapid succes sion, and in a manner that reflected the highest credit upon the corps. On all sides were heard complimentary remarks upon the excellent firing. After the salute the socie ties passed alternately in review of each other, and the Workingmen’s Benevo lent Society proceeded to their hail and were dismissed. The Jaspers eseorted the Hibernians to the Marshall House, where they partook of sr lunch and enjoyed a social reunion, and** then pro ceeded to their hall, where a mammoth bowl of punch was discussed, speeches made and toasts given, aud an hour or two most pleasantly passed, when they sepa- | rated. ANNIVERSARY BANQUET OF THE HIBERNIANS. In the evening at eight o’clock the mem bers of the Hibernian" Society and their in vited guests, assembled at the Marshall House to partake of their anniversary din ner, which was in truth a most magnificent banquet. Three long tables were arranged in the dining room, which were handsomely deco rated (as was also the room), aud which groaned beneath fhe weight of the sub stantial aud luxuries so temptingly dis played upon them. At eight o’clock the society and then- guests entered the room and took their seats. President McMahon presided at the centre table, with Judge H. B. Tompkins on his right, Colonel Screven on his left and other invited guests around, among them Mayor Wheaton and Charles Gasman, Esq., President of the German Friendly Society. At the welcome of the President, the so ciety and their guests proceeded to discuss with zest the good things so bountifully spread before them, and for some time only the murmur of voices in social conversation and the clang of knives and folks was heard. About nine aud a half o’clock the compa ny were called to order by the President an nouncing the REGULAR TOASTS, I 1 which were read by Mr. M. T. Quinan from the head of the table and Mr. Dennis O'Connor from the foot, the “right suppor ter” of Vice President Foley, alternately, I and in the following order : | “At. JiUrick's Day"—A day on which, lay ing aside all question of creed, good men meet to do homage to virtue, valor and truth. Response by Mr. Wm. Grayson Mann, who, commenting on the sentiment of the toast, referred to the influence and example of St. Patrick, and that although fifteen cen turies had elapsed since his great work was completed in Ireland, his name had grown in the remembrance of the people, and now his fame extended to all quarters of the globe. The greatness of his work was dwelt upon, and the civilization of Ireland he de clared was the result of his efforts. Alluding to the demonstrations annually in honor of his anniversary, the speaker expressed the opinion that they had a good effect aud in time would achieve the full measure of pub lic liberty to which Ireland ia entitled. Music—“St. Patrick's Day in the Morning.” “Ireland 1 ’—The Emerald Isle, ever green in our hearts, “though lost to sight, to memory dear.” Response briefly by Capt. John McMahon, President of the Society. Music—“Erin is My Home.” "His Kxixllency the Governor of Georgia"— Alfred H. Colquitt, a brave soldier and peer less gentleman, may he long rule over the destinies of our noble State, as he does in the affection of her sons. Response by Major John O. Ferrill, who expressed the pleasure he as a Georgian felt at being called on to respond to a toast to the Chief Executive of the State, a man who was distinguished as a soldier aud a citi zen, and of whose family it might be said,as it was said of the Johnston's, “they wore wings upon their spurs,” for truely histoiy could scarcely furnish better representatives of chivairic devotion and gallantry than characterized the Colquitt*. He gave a brief biographical sketch of the Colquitt family,re ferring to the glorious career of Col. Colquitt, and to the no less distinguished services iu the field of Gen. Colquitt, the Chief Execu tive. In conclusion he desired to offer a toast to one whom they all honored as a sol dier, citizen and patriot, but whom he re gretted to notice was absent—Hon. Rufus fl Lester, viee-Goveruor of Georgia aud President of the Senate. Music—“llail to the Chief.” “Savannah"—Our beautiful city by the sea, the home of our adoption. Response by Capt. George A. Mercer, who stated in responding to this toast that considering the presence of so many distinguished aud talented young men, it might not be inappropriate to refer to the condition of Savannah at present. He might picture Savannah as she was at her birth and trace her history to the present day, through all the trials, tribulations and misfortunes that had beset her. But this was not an occa sion for the discussion of busi ness; it was an occasion when the feast of reason was relished not so much as the flow of soul. He would say, how ever, that no matter whether the present prostrate condition of Savannah was due to our misfortune or to our fault, he felt sure that the warm-hearted Irishmen who had alwaysstood by her would stand to her to the last, being inspired by the patriotic motto of Decatur—“To our country always if she be right, but if wrong, still to our dear country.” After reference to the shamrock and the cypress, and the attach ment which the Irishmen of Savannah must always feel towards this city, near whose confines lay sleeping the last sleep hundreds of their children, their kiudred and their heroes, among whom he would mention a name of which every Irishman should be proud, he closed with expressing the hope that the time would come when a suitable monument would be raised to the Irish hero. Sergeant Jasper. Music—“Dixie.” "The Brave Soldier* of the Gray and the Blue"—The noblest blood of our country men has helped to make your histoiy. Response by Gen. R. H. Anderson, who remarked that"as foreign as was public speak ing to the profession of arms.yet he could but express his thanks for the opportunity to re spond to‘this toast, even if he had to express his feelings on the subject in the blunt manner oi a soldier. Alluding to the Freemasonry which existed among soldiers, the outgrowth of their common buffering, hardship and peril, he said that prejudice was ignored, and the true soldier was not prejudiced by the color of blue or gray, and could admire with veneration the silent marble erected to commemorate valor, in the national cemeteries or in the final resting place of the Confederates. The era of mutual forgiveness had dawned, and no true Irish heart would fail to throb with pride at the recollections of valor displayed by their countrymen, no matter what the uniform he might have chanced to wear, and could equally rejoice in the renown of Meagher or Cleburne. The blue may be the bright hued color of victory and power, and the grav but the sober color of defeat, but it should be remembered that the brightest blue sky is oft times dimmed by the gray clouds and, mingling together, soon vanish away, reveal ing nothing but the bright, brilliant stars. Music—“Bold Soldier Boy.” “The Orator of the Day"—May his future be as bright as his fondest hopes would wish. Response by P. W. Meldrim, Esq., who, referring"to the gratification afforded him by the day and the occasion, remarked that it was not because of the crude, ill- prepared and worse delivered effort of the morning, whieh had not merited the kind commendations it had received, but because it aided in bringing him into a closer com munion with the men of his own race. Words would but feebly express the emotions of his heart, and their sweetest music would be but dis cord in the utterance of the deep feelings of gratitude he felt for the kindness and consideration shown him. He trusted that his future life and hot words to-night would attest his deep appreciation, and closed his remarks with a poetical sentiment apropos of his desires. Music—“Garry Owen.” At this point Mr. Collins proposed to vary the entertainment bv a song, which, being approved, Mr. Frank E. Rebarer was called on and sang with fine effect “The Last Rose of Summer.’’ “Daniel O'GmtteJT'—Whose genius made the first rent in the chains of British tyranny. This toast was responded to at some length by Gen. Henry C. Wayne, who gave a very interesting description of the life aud services of the patriot, whom Ireland knew as the “Great Liberator,” and who England, realizing that he could not be moved by bribes or threats, characterized as the “Great Agitator.” He painted in fine language the prominent character istics of O'Connell, whom he showed lived only for Ireland and Ireland’s good, and re ferred to the good that he had accomplished. He closed bv saying the lifted veil has fallen, the soul of O’Connell is with his God, his memory is with the hearts of his country men. Music—“The Harp that£>nce.” Mr. McDonough was here called ou, and sang a song, which was well received. “The Immortal Emmet''—Whose life was sacrificed at the altar of his country. May his epitaph be written in our day. Response by Mr. T. B. Catherwood, who, whilst regretting that some one not more accustomed to public speaking had been called upon, made a very fine and interest ing speech, in which he eulogized the patriot ism and self-sacrifice of Emmet, and declared that his memory was worthy the reverence and honor of all men. That his deeds were no less illustrious and deserving of perpet ual remembrance because he was unsuccess ful. He had not met the death of a soldier on the bloody fields battling for his cause, but in the shame of the crowded scaffold he had stepped down into the valley of the shadow of death for his country’s sake. His name should be and always will be rever enced wherever true nobility is appreciated. He had heard from the men of Stonewall Jackson and Lee that success is not the measure by which to gauge the right of peo ple to independence and liberty. They had fought and falleu, and yet their cause was not unjust. Emmet's purpose was right, and though success did not crown it, yet he had kept his soul immaculate through all misfortunes, and his name would ever be reverenced. Music—“Wearing of the Green.” Mr. Moses Coburn was here called upon, and sang most excellently a very thrilling descriptive song of a scene on a vesse 1 on fire at sea, which was loudly applauded. “ Homan”—Whose virtues and smiles are the pride of an Irishuiuu, and to guard which his life is ever at her service. Mr. Dennis O'Connor was called upon to respond to this toast, but stated that while appreciating the honor, he could not reply at length or do justice to the subject, and therefore excused himself with proposing a verv neat tribute to woman. Music—“The (iirl I Left Behind Me.” Mr. W. G. Mann, being called upon, sung “Kathleen Mavoumeen” in excellent style. **Father Matthew"—By whose labors in the noble cause of temperance many happy families have been blessed. Mr. D. J. Foley being called upon,made a very happy response to this toast. He said that eloquent lips had to-night proclaimed the virtues, the heroism aud the valor of many distinguished sons of Ireland and placed the laurel wreath upon their brow, and he would fain pluck a leaf from each with which to weave a chaplet for Father Matthew could he not find one elsewhere. He then depicted briefly the career of the great apostle of temperance and his grand efforts iu the good cause, and pointed with pride to the fact that now might be seen in the happy, peaceable, hon orable homes of Ireland the good that had followed his teachings and example. Music—“Home, Sweet Home." “Our Sister Societies and Invited Guests"— We bid them a hearty welcome. Mr. Charles Gasman, President of the Ger man Friendly Society, was called upon and responded by stating that he laid no claim speech making, ana whilst appreciating the honor of this call, would have to content himself with offering a toast—“The Hiber nian and German Friendly Societies—May their friendship ever remain as green as the shamrock.” Music—“You'll Remember Me.” At this point President McMahon asked to be allowed to offer a volunteer toast— “ Our Guests—Vend Mille Falthe—a hundred thousand welcomes.” Colonel Screven was loudy called for, and responded by making a very eloquent and interesting speech, which was listened to with great attention. He devoted his re marks principally to a description of the physical features of this great country, and, styling the capital at Washington as the cosmopolis, drew a pretty allegorical picture of Columbia looking down from the large dome over this vast territory, and closed with a tribute to the energy and industry of Irishmen in accomplishing all the great works of internal improvement, and to the generous hospitality for which the Irish were characteristic, supplementing his remarks with this toast: “The Irish Americans—citizens of a common country where all nations unite, they have dignified the great and heroic character of their own race and illustrated that of the American people.” Major John Foley, Vice President, here interrupted the regular order, stating that it was his time now, and that he would like to offer a toast as an offset to the eloquent re marks of Colonel Screven. He would, therefore, propose “The Army of the United States,” aud would eall on Major Andrews to respond. This elicited loud appiause. and Major Andrews was brought to his feet. He was, notwithstanding nis exclamation that be was no speaker, very felicitous in hi6 response, and created considerable merriment by his recital of army reminiscences in Mexico and the far West, in which several of those at the table figured as prominent characters. His account of the opinion an Indian Chief expressed of a gallant young officer stationed in Oregon before the war (Gen, R. H. Anderson), was quite amusing, especially the translation. “He get mighty thirsty on a long march.” We think after this effort that Major Andrews will not be justified in “begging off,” as jt were, when^ called upoq, but will have to re spond whether there be “a goose” in the camp or not. After his remarks, the band played “Star Spangled Banner.” Mr. A. Graeffe being called on, sang in good style a lively sontr that elicited ap plause. “7he Mighty Press'’—While free, you. make tyranny tremble, when fettered "the people are slaves. Mr. J. U. Estill, proprietor of the Morn ing News, was called on to respond to this toast, and replied by prefatory remarks that a great deal might be said about the press, but there was one feature that few appre ciated and that was the silence of the press; there were a great many things that might go in the ’ paper but did not, Because judgment dictated that they ought not, and there were many things which should go in that were overlooked, so to speak. Disclaiming the intention of attempting to make a speech, he stated that he might relate an incident which could be numbered among those things that had not yet found their way into print. He then gave an ac count of a difficulty on the steamer which was transporting troops on the Rio Grande during the Mexican war. Among those on board was a 8avannah con | pany. Some disturbance had oc curred at a landing in which several soldiers were engaged. The Colonel of an Illinois regiment, who was also present with his command, inquired who the dis turbers were, and the Savannah company, occupying the deck, were pointed out. He immediately boarded the steamer, and ap proaching the young Captain of the Jasper Greens, demanded his sword. The Captain, then but a stripling, responded that he would cross swords with him, but surrender never. The result was an engagement in mortal combat, and the Illinois soldiers perceiving that their Colonel would soon be placed hors du com- bat by the gallant young Captain, rushed forward and bore "their Colonel away in safety, and then felling the brave young officer pinned him to the deck with their bayonets. The Jaspers, seeing their Captain thus treated dashed forward, and declaring if there was killing to be done they would have a hand in it, charged upon the Illinois regiment, and in less than fifteen minutes twenty or thirty fell beneath their well directed blows, or "were pitched into the river. It was unnecessary for him to say that the young stripling Captain was their respected citizen wVose hair had been whitened by the frost of many years, and who was here to-night as President of the Hibernian Society. In conclusion he would offer the following toast: “Captain John McMahon. His suc cess in life, an illustration of what can be accomplished by industry and integrity. His example is worthy of "the emulation of the young men of Savannah.” Music—“Bonny Blue Flag.’’ Capt. McMahon responded by stating that the reminiscence which had just been related by Capt. Estill had grown out of an unfortunate circumstance, but he would say here that he had nothin* to regret in con nection with it and that nis action would be exactly the same under similar circum stances. although he was known in Savan nah as a man of peace and had never had a quarrel with any one here. "Dr. R. D. Arnold"—We miss him frotn our festive boat d. He shall long be remem bered, by those he has left behind, for the many sacrifices he has made for the public good. This toast was drank standing and in si lence. after which Judge AY. D. Harden was called on,and in response delivered a most elo quent and beautiful eulogy to the generosi ty* charity and culture of "the distinguished dead, whose loss a whole city mourned. His charity was most unostentatious, and was not restricted by creed or position.aud while his death may have been his gain, it was most assuredly our loss. He was one of the few men whose places cannot be filled, and who will be ever missed in the community to whose interest he was so ardently devoted/ Music—**Auld Lang Syne.” The regular toasts being disposed of, the President called attention to other business. Letters were read from the Hon. M. P. O'Connor, President of the Hibernian Soci ety, Charleston, S. C.: William Rogers, Esq., President of St. Andrew's Society; Alfred Haywood, Esq., President of St."George's Society, aud Hon. Rufus E. Lester. Captain George A. Mercer proposed the health of Major General W. S. Hancock, and in response to the call of the President General R. H. Anderson responded, stating that an invitation had been extended to General Hancock to be present, but that that distinguished soldier was by official du ties deterred from remaining in the city, and had left during the afternoon for Charles ton. President McMahon gave a toast to Savan nah, which was replied to by Mayor Wheaton. The venerable ex-President of the society, George B. Cumuiiug, Esq., who was absent and confined to his house by illness, was the subject of a beautiful complimentary tribute from the orator of tMtday, who alluded in feeling terms to his devotion to the society. Remarks were made by Messrs. Oraie, Donelan and others. Songs were sung and it was a late hour ere the pleasures of the banquet were brought to a close. Jlailer* and Tiling* Laconically Noted.

Yesterday afternoon a colored boy named Allen Green,'living on the Muller place, near the brick yard, died from the effects of a pistol shot wound received on Sunday morn ing, the 10th Inst. The Coroner was notified, and proceeding to the place, held an inquest. Edward Brown, Deny Williams and .Mal colm Jones, colored, were sworn and examined, and from their evidence it appeared that Green and Thos. Bacon, an other colored boy, had been skylarking around the brick yard ou Sunday morning, Bacon chasing Green with a piece of board. After pursuing him some distance down the road, Bacon drew a seven banel revolver and fired three times at Green. The last ball took effect in the left arm, near the elbow, inflicting a se rious wound. Green told Bacou that he had shot him, when the latter replied, “You are a d—n liar.” Green then pulled off his coat and showed the wound, when Bacon left. Green went to the house of Edward Brown, where he had been staying, and was confined to bed. Infl&mamtion set in, and he died from the effects of the wound yesterday morning. Brown stated that before Green died he said he and Bacon had had no trouble. The testi mony of the other witnesses was merely to the effect that Bacon had deliberately and without provocation shot Green. The jury, composed of colored men, after consultation, rendered the following verdict: “VVe the jury find that Allen Green, colored, came to his death by a pistol shot wound, inflicted with a pistol iu the hands of Thomas Bacon, colored, and we consider it wilful murder.” A warrant was accordingly issued against Bacou, who will be held subject to trial.

Accidentally Drowned OH'Tybee, A special telegram to the Morning News from Tybee gives information of the drown ing of the second mate of the Norwegian bark Kongsbyrd, lying off Tybee, yesterday afternoon at five o’clock. The mate, whose name is Jorgen Beckman Jansen, while en gaged in painting the stem of the vessel, accidentally lost his balance aud fell from the staging into the ’water. A boat was lowered at once, but before it could reach him he was drowned. Up to seven o’clock the body had not been recov ered. The deceased, we understand, was a good swimmer, but it appears that his ef forts were of no avail, as he sank in a vety few minutes. He was a native of Lillesand, Norway, was about 27 years of age, and be ing an honest, sober, industrious seaman, was held in high esteem by Capt. Langfeldt and the crew. Knocked Down and Kobbed. About four o’clock on Sunday morning, a young man, who was under the influence of liquor, whilst wandering in the vicinity of Lamar’s bridge over the canal, was knocked down by a crowd of negroes, who stripped him of his clothing and look his watch and chain and all the money he had, leaving him lu a half nude condition. He was struck over the head with some Instrument which inflicted an ugly wound. He was found some time afterwards in a semi-unconscious state by a private watchman in the vicinity, who secured help and had him carried to his boarding house. He does not know any of his assailants, but the detectives have a suspicion who the parties are, aud will keep a sharp lookout for them. The Recent Murdcr-The Deadly Knife Found. Yesterday morning Officer Morgan visited the locality of the recent murder and made a search of the house occupied by the ne- gress Eugenia Rawls, with whom John Johnson was living. The woman was not to be found, having fled the premises on the approach of the officer, but under the pillow on the bed was found the knife with which it is believed Johnson inflicted the mortal wound on McDermott and cut George Orr. We are in possession of some information in connection with the murder which it is not advisable to publish at present for rea sons that are obvious. The officers are working up the case. R. E. Lee Connell, No., I’, F. T. At a regular meeting of this Council, held last evening, the following named officers were elected for the ensuing term: II. G. Evritt, W. P. A. Sanders, Rec. Scribe. J.
