Information was received in the city early yesterday morning of the death at quaran tine station of Captain John Pe.rklns, com mander of the schooner Mary J., which arrived here on Monday from Turtle river. Captain Perkins was very ill at the time,and his recovery was then considered hopeless. The particulars of the arrival of this schooner and the death of the mate,Captain John S. Petersen, was given in the Mous ing News of Tuesday, aud the official state ment of the post mortem examination by the Health Officer on his body appeared in yesterday’s issue. As soon as notified the Health Officer, Dr. J. T. McFarland, called upon Acting Mayor Willlnk, and arrangements were made for an official visit to the quarantine station. About two o’clock the Mayor pro tem., Health Officer and members of the Sanitary Commission and Council left the city in the tug Commodore Foote and proceeded direct to the station. On arrival the party were informed that Capt. Perkins had died about nine o’clock on Tuesday night. It was decided to hold a post mortem examination, Dr. McFar land being assisted by Dr. R. Stewart San ders, and the following is the official report of the Health Officer on the subject: Office Healtu Officer, | Savannah, August 25, 1880. | Editor Morning Newe: I visited quaran tine station to-day in discharge of my official duty, and I am instructed to place before the public the result of the same, which is as followc: I found Capt. Perkins, of the schooner Mary J., dead, death having ensued last night, aud, in company with Dr. R. S. Sanders, held a post mortem examination on the body. The result of this examination wa9 conclusive and cor roborative of the examination of the body of Mr. Petersen, of same schooner, viz : death was caused by malarial fever. The body was Interred at quarantine station. Yours, etc., J. T. McFarland, M. D , Health Officer. Capt. Perkins was from Boston, but had lived in Savaunah the past twelve or fifteen years, and was for a longtime employed as a watchman at the Central Railroad wharves. Some months since he bought, in connec tion with Mr. John Kelly, the schooner Mary J., and engaged in the coasting trade. On her last trip from Turtle river he was prostrated by swamp fever, which, as stated, resulted in his death. He was about sixty years of age, and leaves a wife and children. Sudiieu Death. Yesterday morning, about nine o’clock, a colored woman named Agnes Fleming, living at No. 10 St. Gaul street, died very suddenly while sitting on the back porch of her house. It appears that about half- past eight o’clock she ate for her breakfast a piece of bread and drank a cup of coffee, and shortly afterwards proceeded to the back porch, where she sat down, when she was suddenly slezed with a severe fit of cough ing, accompanied bv hemorrhage, and in five minutes was a corpse. Coroner Sheftall held an inquest, when the jury, after con sidering the above stated facts, rendered a verdict of death from hemorrhage. Rev. S. Laudrum, D. D. Rev. 8, Landrum, D. D., of Savannah passed through here yesterday en route to Gainesville. He has beau iu North Georgia for several weeks preaching very effectively. He informed us yesterday that a new Bap tist Church had been constituted in Cobb county, two mile6 this side of Marietta; one end of an old shanty was torn out and a brush arbor erected. Now where three weeks ago there was no church organization there is a church with forty-six members.—- Atlanta Constitution. A Genuine Zulu. On board the Portuguese brig Luzia, now lying at quarantine, is a young boy, about ten years of age, who was brought from the coast of Guinea some four mouths since.

He speaks Creole Portu guese, the language of the people of that country. lie is pronounced a regular Zulu, and is certainly a comical looking little fel low, his only costume being a cotton sack, low neck, short sleeves, and abbreviated skirt. A Fine Stalk, of Cotton. We received yesterday through a young merchant of this city, an extra fine stalk of cotton raised by Mr. W. Trulock, of Whig- ham, Decatur county, Ga. It stood six and a half feet high aud bore two hundred and thirty-one bolls. We understand that the stalk was almost bent to the ground by the weight of its fruit.

He was entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters.

The annual review of the markets for the commercial year will be issued on Satur day, September 4th, and we propose to make this edition a special feature, the same as was done last year, and which met with such a decided support from our enterprising merchants. The review will be presented in the form of a mammoth eight- page sheet, 38x52 inches, and in size and make up will surpass anything of the kind which has ever been published in Savannah, if not in the cotton growing States. It will comprise an exhaustive sum mary of the business of the city during the previous twelve months, including its mer cantile interests in all their various branches, and also a resume of its shipping and com mercial news for that period. This issue of the Morning News will be one which every citizen, whether a business man or not, will take pride in sending abroad as an evidence of the prosperity of the city and section in which he lives, and will give to those who have never before e^mined into the matter a proper appreciation of Savannah’s impor tance as the great commercial emporium of the two most progressive 8tates in the South ern section of the American Union. The Trade Issue of the Morning News, in addition to being sent to all the daily subscribers by carrier and mail, will be mailed to every subscriber to the Tri- Weekly News, the Weekly News, and the Southern Farmer's Monthly, which, with the copies sent out to addresses furnished us by our advertisers, will give it an aggregate circulation of 20,000 to 25,000 copies among 100,000 people who look to the Morning News for information on all subjects, and who represent the purchasing interest of their localities. This edition will thus find its way into every household in the immense area of country directly tributary to Savannah, and at a time when the people have means to purchase and are buying supplies for the fall and winter, and when an advertisement will have the effect of a direct communica tion from the merchant to the buyer. Advertisements received for this edition at usual rates. Matter* and nines Laconically Noted. There was nothing of interest in police circles yesterday. Catholic Knights of America have a regu lar meeting to-night. All of the visiting colored base ball clubs left for home yesterday. Tiie assessment at the Police Court yes terday amounted to only ten dollars. The military convention will meet on Fri day night at the hall of the Jasper Greens. The “ Democratic Association of Chat ham county ” will meet to-night at St. An drew’s Hall. # Mr. Thomas West was among the passen gers for New York yesterday by the steam ship Gate Ci y.

Palestine Commandery No. 7, K. T., will escort the remains of 8ir Knight John Oli ver to their last reeting place this afternoon. The mercury does not climb so high up the thermometer, but the heat is felt more, possibly on account of the recent pleasant weather, and grumbling is general. We have received a communication signed “Colored Visitors,” complaining of the decision in the colored base ball contest, awardmgthe championship to the Chathams, and using some rather harsh language. As the writer is not known we cannot publish it. A fine display of Knight Templar music, flags, etc., sent by Mr. J. A. Bates from Chicago, is now displayed in Ludden Ac Bates’ elegant show window.

Atlanta, Ga., August 24.—Editor Morn ing Newt: Several letters have been received here from jour city asking if ample accom modation can be furnished to the military and citizens of Savannah during the great reunion of the citizen soldiery of the North end South, under the auspices of the Gate City Guard, to take place iu Atlanta next October. As there appears to be an im pression that sufficient accommodation cannot be provided, I am instructed by the proper committee to say that only a certain uumber of military organizations have been invited, and provision has been made for them, so that all those who come will fiDd their camp prepared, tents floored, and wagons to take their baggage on arrival. The restaurant at the camp will be sufficient to accommodate all the visiting mllitiry. In addition to this the restaurants, hotels aud boarding houses of the city will be fully prepared to accommodate all who may come. I hope this statement will correct any fear on behalf of the military and civil ians of your city who will visit us. Very respectfully, T. A. Clayton, Member Gate City Guard. Stabbed In the Shoulder. We learn that a difficulty occurred at the Central Railroad depot last evening, about half-past seven o’clock, between two young men, which resulted in one of the parties being severely 6tabbed in the shoulder. Our informant states that a young man named Conners, who is said to be from Augusta, was stand ing in the depot, when he was approached by a young man by tfip name of Nugent, who remarked to him that he could whip him in about two minutes, at the same time striking him a severe blow across the face, whereupon Conners drew his knife and stabbed his assailant in the shoulder, in flicting a very ugly gash. Conners then walked off, Nugent poutinuing his threats and making a movement towards his hip pocket as though about to draw a pistol, which action was noticed by Con ners, who remarked to him that it would be well for him to restrain himself, or he would get hurt. Nugent proceeded to the office of Dr. Chisholm, who dressed the wound, sewing up the ugly gash by takiDg several stitches. Post Office Ruling**. A new ruling of the Post Office Depart ment goes into effect October 1st. It pro hibits the use of any other card than the postal card Issued by the Department, un less a three-cent stamp is attached thereto. Another ruling is that an order for goods being a document on which suit may be njaintained, has a monetary value, and is, therefore, subject to rules of first-class postage. Another Warrant to be Ivsued. A communication from Dr. D. Curry states that Mr. John Brantley, of Johnson coun ty, whose hearing before United States Commissioner Beckett has been noticed, was discharged from custody by reasou of a defect in the warrant, and hot from want of testimony, and that in all probability anuth.- er warrant will be issued sgainst him.

According to announcement yesterday, the Chathams of Savannah and Fox Hunt ers of Macon met promptly on the new ground beyond the Park extension, at 11 o’clock sharp. The clubs appeared In full uniform, the Fox Hunters to the bat. The game was spirited and hotly contested by both clubs. The playing was hard on the nines, on account of the severe heat, yet they fought manfully and created much en thusiasm, as the spectators would give cheer after cheer for the Chathams, who made several home runs. Fully two thousand people were on tne grounds, and the nines played with a will from commencement to end. The Chathams are a crack nine, and understand the science of handling the ball and bat. The Fox Hunters follow as the next best nine in the South. Their playing was excellent, and gave entire satisfaction to the managers of the association aud the Chathams, whom they were playing. The club is a good one, and is a credit to the city from which it came, all of the members being the respectable class of colored men of Macon. The following is the score of the game: Chathams 26. Fox Hunters 10. Af ter the game closed the respective clubs proceeded to Empire Hall, where the association had prepared for them a colla tion in first class style; the other clubs joining them there, and they had a pleasant time together. After th** collation the prizes were to be presented to the winning contestants by John H. Deveaux, but on account of indisposition he could not at tend. The vacancy was immediately filled by Robert H. Harden, who presented the prizes with an excellent address, which was received with loud applause. When the championship medal and purse of $10 in gold was presented to the Chathams, the Captain, Thos. Simmons, responded with an appropriate address, and the Chathams, of Savannah, were pronounced the champions of the South. The Fox Hunters were sec- oud in the championship, and two of Ryan’s professional dead red balls were presented to them for fine playing aud manly conduct by the association. Several prizes were also presented to the other clubs for fine play ing. The only dissatisfied club who en tered the contest was the Athletics, of Jacksonville. They left the field at Thunderbolt before the game was over, and the game was lost by the Chathams. The association claims that no blame can be attached to them, as the visitora were well treated. Accordinj to the rules of 1S79, the Chathams woul< fetand 18, and the Athletics 13. But, accord ing to the rules of 1880, the Chathams would be 9, and the Athletics 0. From the begin ning to the end of the contest the best order was observed, and we can safely say that the 2,000 colored visitors to the col ored base ball contest were the most orderly colored excursionists we have ever had to visit our city. The Base Ball Association deserve much credit for their good manage ment of the contest and its success. The next aunual base ball contest will take place in Macon, at Central City Park, under the auspices of the same association. The association are profuse In their thanks to Capt. M. J. Doyle for the use of the race course, and his personal attention. The last of the excursionists departed for home last night, and report having had a delightful time In the Forest City.

Circular No. 10—South western Geor gia aud Mtcon Complain of Certain Freight matter*. An important meeting was held Tuesday in the office of the Railroad Commissioners in Atlanta. There were present, representing the city of Macon, Hon. Clifford Anderson, N. E. Harris, 8. T. Coleman, W. E. Flanders and Dr. J. S. Baxter. _ m Americus was represented by Hon. W. A. Hawkins, Hon. Allen Fort, DuPont Guerry and J. B. Felder. Fort Valley had in H. C. Harris and Mr. Mathews good representatives. Hon. A. L. Miller represented Perry. J. C. Ellington represented Montezuma. W. G. Raonl, Vice President, and G. A. Whitehead, G. F. A., represented the Cen tral Railroad; J. M. Edwards, Superintend ent and General Manager, represented the Macon and Brunswick Railroad. The Southern Railway and Steamship As sociation was represented by Virgil Powers, General Commissioner, and C. B. Wallace, Agent. The interest of the meeting centered in CIRCULAR NO. 10. Office of the Railroad Commission, Atlanta, Ga., August 13, 1880—Upon a full and careful consideration of the elabo rate reports of the Central Railroad and Banking Company, the Atlanta and Char lotte Air Line Railway Company, and the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company, showing the effect of the rates authorized by the Commission on their business for May aud June, 1ST9 and 1880, the following changes are made in the relations of these companies to the standard tariff: The Central Railroad and Banking Com pany. First. The Central Railroad and Banking Company is authorized to operate their railroads in the following divisions: The Savannah; the Southwestern Railroad; the Atlanta: the Savannah: Griffin and North Alabama Railroad. 8econd. On the Savannah and South western Railroad division and the Savannah, Griffia and North Alabama Railroad, upon all classes other than “specials” the maxi mum freight rates between 0 and 40 miles to be 50 percent, on standard rates; between 40 and 70 miles, 40 per cent; between 70 and 100 miles, 30 per cent., and 100 miles and over, 20 per cent., as heretofore fixed. Third. Upon the Atlanta division on all classes other than “specials,” the maximum rates to be 30 per cent, over “standard.” Fourth. Upon cotton (class J) the maxi mum on either division or on Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, for all distances, 6hall be 15 per ceDt. above “standard.” Ali other “specials” (K, L, M, N, O and P) remain at “standard.” Fifth. A tariff of joint rates on all the roads operated by the Central Railroad and Banking Company, prepared with the ap probation of the Commission, will be furnished by the company on application. James M. Smith, Chairman. R. A. Bacon, Secretary. Messrs. Raoul, Whitehead, Powers and the committee from Macon, argued in favor of the increased rates allowed the Central Railroad by this order. Macon favored it because they were allowed a difference of 5 per cent, per hundred pounds on cotton, that is the through rates on cotton from points on the Southwestern and the Atlanta divisions and Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad should be 5 cents per hundred only less than the sums of the locals. Prior to the issuing of circular No. 10, the rates on cotton on the Central Rail road and the Southwestern Railroad were made under the order of the Commissioners as if on one continuous line, and thi6 gave Savannah or Atlanta the power to draw cotton from the Southwestern Rail road at a very small increase over the rate to Macon. The Central Railroad claimed that each division of their line should be worked as a separate railroad. Macon had a contract also with the old Southwestern Railroad, that the rate from Oglethorpe and points this side to Savannah should always be made so that the sums of the locals should be very little above the through rate. The continuance of Rule 1, enforced by the Commissioners, worked great injury to Macon, and wa6 an abroga tion of the contract between the city and the road. Under this view the Commission ers felt constrained to change Rule 1, so as that each division could be worked sep- make a joiot rate on all kinds of freights believed that when these joint rates are dis tributed the different sections where disaf fection toward the action of the Commis sioners now exists, it will be dissipated. These joint rates will be applicable for tht same number of miles from Atlanta, Colum two conflicting interests is nearly impossible, all know. From what we can learn, there is great hope that the joint rate6 will come very near doing this. The Constitution, from which we c! above, says: “Atlanta has wisely kept her mouth shut, with Savannah and Columbus, and even small advantage on other articles, we will wager that Atlanta drummers and cotton capital. “As this southwestern territory Is open to Columbus as well as to Atlanta—both of which places have heretofore had little or no chance to secure cotton then — buyers will have to watch that point. ”The Central Railroad Is fixing millers’ rates so as to let in flour and meal so abundantly produced in North Georgia into the southwestern territory on an equal footing with Western products. “The meeting lasted several hours, and adjourned until the 31st instant, to hear legal arguments from the attorneys of the Central Railroad and other points lepre- sented in the meeting Tuesday.” pH i MARSHALL HOUSE.

We iuvite their attention to the followicg| The DuPont Okejenokean is published in the heart of the country that Is directly tribuf tary to Savannah, ^nd at the junction of the only railroad into Florida. We therefore claim unusual advantages for our paper as an advertising medium upon the following grounds: That our paper circulates extenl sively over Southern Georgia and a large portion of Florida; that it Is the only paper in the county; that its circulation is twelve times over the largeat circulating paper that comes to the county; that it has been estab lished nearly four years; that the capital backing it is sufficient to preclude the pos sibility of a suspension, that DuPont is vir tually a suburb of Sayaunah, owing to the fact that the Savannah, Florida aud Western Railway pays to its employes here each month from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars. That nearly every dollar goes to Savannah, because these men do their trading in Savannah. Merchants that claim only a local trade and do not think country advertising pays, will do well to dispel that idea, and try for this trade. That commencing with the middle of September or first of October, we guarantee to put into the hands of each passenger passing here a copy of the Okefenokean, thereby giving our advertisers advantages not offered by any other paper, and which they must see at a glance stamps the Okefenokean as one of the very best advertising mediums In the coun try. Our trains carry passengers to all parts of Florida, aouthvest Georgia, and merchants to Savannah. They can read the {Jfyfenokean oh the train, and govprn themselves accordingly where to buy, etc. Tills Pl fln Of tree distribution, in connec tion with regular circulation, possesses the advantages of a first-class journal, adver tising medium and circular combined. By this method the paper will find its way Into every household in the immense area of country directly tributary to Savannah, and at a time of year when the people have means to purchase, and are buying and sup plying for the fall and winter, and when the advertisement will have the effect of a direct communication from merchant to the buyer. Our Mr. Darby will call on the mer chants of Savannah in a few days to present our claims. Ed. Okefenokean. aug2ij 3t Baker's tore Cod Llyer Oil* As now sold, is as pleasant in taste as June butter.
