Death of Mrs. Goodwin.
Mrs. E. A. Goodwin, relict of Cos!. R. M.
Goodwin, died at her residence in this city
yesterday, very suddenly, at the advanced
age of eighty four years, her death, we
understand, being caused by congestion
of the lungs. Mrs. Goodwin was In appa
rently good health on Wednesday nigh*,
and retired without any symptoms of trou
ble. During the night she was taken very
*ick and died as stated early yesterd y
morning. She was at the time of her death
the oldest member of the Independent Pres
byterian Church in this city, having been
connected with It for over fifty years. She
was a very estimable lady, and remarkable
for the wonderfal posses>ion of all her
faculties at her advanced age. She leaves
several children—a daughter In Sew Jersey,
a son in Baltimore and Captain L. L Good
win, our worthy City Marshal, besides a
large family connection. Her funeral will
take place from the Independent Presbyte
rian Church at 3:45 this afternoon.
TiJ Golden Case— Mistrial.
The jury in the case of Thomas Golden,
indicted for murder, who had been out since
a quarter past one o’clock on Tuesday
morning, and not agreeing, were, at half
past two o’clock yesterday afternoon,
brought into court, when the following
order was Issued:
The court being satisfied that the jury
empanelled in the above named case can
not agree, It is considered and ordered Che
prisoner and his counsel being present and
consenting to the withdrawal from said
jury of W. C. Lyon, one of the panel,) that
W. C. Lyon, one of 6*id jury, be withdrawn
therefrom, and a mistrial declared.
Thus the case ends for the present,
though there being no verdict In the case
there will have to be another trial.
Show tioe Broken.
At about eleven o’clock yesterday mornice
two drunken colored men staggered Into the
store of H. Rothschild, on St. Julian street,
between Barnard and Jefferson streets,
when one of them, whose jiame Is Joe
Rogers, took a fceat on a box near a show
case and leaned over, driving bis arm
through a pane of glass in the case which was
on the counter. The proprietor of the store
demanded $1 25, the price of the broken
pane, which Rogers refused to ; ay, and
commenced quarrelling about the matter.
Policeman Carroll, who was stationed near
the Market, was called in, and the man was
taken to the barracks, and will have the op
portunity of forking over the required
amount or of going to j ill.
Arrival of Ike .nary Ftaber.
The steamer Mary fisher arrived here
yesterday from landings on the Altamaha
and Oemulgee rivers. Chain gear Is used
on this steamer, and she reports that when
in the vicinity of Brickyard cut, some
twenty miles from Darien, the chain which
runs from the machinery to the wheel
tpoke and a portion of It fell overboard,
which rendered her powerless, and she was
compelled to lav there till ihe steamer Hd
eyon came along and towed her to DarieD,
from which point she was towed here by
the steamer Cumberland. The mlssiDg
chain will be replaced here, and she wlil
leave op her usual time.
A Neat Catalogue.
The neatest little book which we bare
seen for some time is one issued by the
“Gorhsm Manufacturing Company," and
distributed here by Mr. S. P. Hamilton, the
sole agent of the company in this city. The
work Is an Illustrated catalogue of silver
ware, watches, jewelry and diamonds, and
is so exquisite in its general get up that it is
worthy of a better fate than usually falls to
the lot of catalogues. The printing and pic
tures are in the best s’yle of tbose arts, and
should insure the book’s preservation.
Well Punished.
On Wednesday mjrnlng Policeman Kelly
discovered James Au'ston, a colored Indi
vidual, engaged In scribbling some obtC2ne
words on the railing in Elbert square,
and at once arrested him. Yesterday morning
Aulston was arraigned before the Police
Court, when a flue of $lO or thirty days
was Imposed upon him, which will probably
have the effect of restraining hi* vulgar In
clinations.
The Naval Store* Boom.

“Alvin Joslln” To*ntgbt,
This evening the new comedy entitled
“A'vin Jo6lin” will be produced at the 8s
vsneah Theatre, by a fine company support
log Charles L Davis. An exchange thus
notices the comedy, which Is said to be
something on the "Joshua Whitcomb”
style:
"The play Is light comedy throughou',
and is very funny. The story consists of s
delineation of the experiences of a Vtrmont
farmer, who visits New York, and trusts
blindly to his Impulses In solving the prob
lems ‘hat ccme before him. The incidents
and combinations of the scenes are very
good, and If at times they seem rather ex
aggerated, the fact detracts nothing from
their humor. Mr. Davis, as ‘Alvin Joslin,’
kept the house in convulsions of laughter
most of the time, and when the curtain fell
at the close of the first act, he was called
before the curtain repeatedly. Joe Baxter
took perfecMy the part of a Bowery rat.
young in years, but old in experience, and
bis slang was invariably the signal for
laughter in the galleries. The character of
Julia Ford, whose misery furnishes most of
the pathos of the story, Is well conceived by
Mi’S Burnet. The company is a strong one,
and the comedy as full of laughable inci
dents as It is possible to have It.”

Another large audience assembled in
Armory Hall last night to hear Mr. Sweenev
on "Faith,” and although he was suffering
from a nervous affection arising from con
stant speaking, the audience were certainly
edified and Instructed by his eloquent and
able exposition of the Scriptures on that
subject. His comprehensive originality of
thought, fertility of apt, pointed Illustra
tion, and facile poxer to seize and
bnd in harmonious union the lead
ing truths of dir jointed propositions,
never fails to captivate and enchain bis
audience to the close. Some of his decla
rations, to many present, must have been
very startling, but we venture to say that
all fears of violence to the truth of the
scrip.urts were dissipated before the close
of the sermon. One addition was made to
the membership of the church, and the
mlnis’er announced that In consequence of
the indispositio i alluded to, he was com
pelled to postpone further service in the
Hall until Sunday morning.
Stocks and Bond*.
The ma>ket for Central was quiet, but
firm yesterday, which was caused by the
light offerings, holders being reluctant to
sell, anticipating higher prices, which are
llxely to be reached, judging from the im
proved tone and the advances that
have already taken place. Central
common opened at 111% bid, 112 asked,
and advanced one point, closing at 112%
Did. 113 asked. Georgia common opened at
155 bid, 156 asked, and closed unchanged.
Southwestern opened at 117 bid, 118% asked
and advanced three qmrtejs of a point,
closing at 117% bid, 119 asked. Central
Railroad six per cent, certificates of indebt
edness opened at 93 bid, 93% asked, and
advarced three quarters of a cent, closing
at 93% bid, 94 asked.
An Outrageous Assault.
About dusk on Wednesday evening two
young white girls were playing near the
corner of Pr'ca and St. Julian streets, one
of whom had a long gold chain around her
neck, when a colored virago came along
and at’empted to pull the chain off. The
girl resisted this attempted robbery, when
the woman s‘ruck her a hard blow wl;h her
clenched hand behind the ear, hurting her
so badly that she screamed, causing the
woman to retreat rapidly. When the girl’s
father heard her scream he rushed to her
assistance, but the woman had obtained so
great a start that It was impossible to over
take her. This is one of the boldest out
rages that has occurred on our streets in
some time, considering the hour and the
public thoroughfare.
Annoyance* at tbe Pont Office.
We have heard some com plaints about
the conduct of the boys who gather at the
post office about the time the malls arrive.
Whilst waiting for the distribution of the
matter they engage in skylarking, which
occasionally resuits in a fight. Buch was
tbe case yesterday, when two youths, who
had been frolicking, got mad and an earn
est fight was the result, which occasioned
considerable annoyance to merchants
anxious to get their mails, and who were
compelled to push through the crowd that
gathered around the combatants in order to
get to their boxes. This conduct should be
stopped at once.
A Successful Job.
Mr. Edward Fizgerald, Jr., recently suc
ceeded lu raising tbe boiler of tbe steamer
C2ntennial, which was sunk in the Satilla
river some time since. This was a rather
dangerous attj difficult job, and its suc
cessful accomplishment is a credit to
Mr. Fitzgerald. The boiler was al
most entirely under water, and he
bad to get inside of It through what Is
known as the men trap, an aperture only
auffieleutlv large to admit the body of a
medium s zed man. After entering the
boiler he cut tbe braces to free it, and ropes
were then attached and it was safely
hauled out.

SAVANNAH PROGRESSING.
Large Increase In Population—^Tbe
Need for Hors Honeee—A Brilliant
Fnture.
Savannah has ever enjoved the reputation
of being a conservative, quiet, eolld town,
not addicted to trumpeting her glories and
prosperity, as is the wont of some of her
younger slater cities. There are times, how
ever, when this modesty should not inter
fere, and when it 1# eminently proper that
throuth the columns of the journal repre
senting her interests some facts should be
made known.
Within the past two weeks our columns
have contained information of the number
of new buildings, principally residences,
going up In various portions of the city,
especially the southern. This Indicates a
demand. Yet we opine there are few of
our citizens who will not be surprised to
learn that within the past year the popula
tion of Bavancab has increased 2 454, and
that there Is to day scarcely a vacant house
or room In the whole city.
These facts we gather from the census of
vhe city as compiled from the canvass for
the new directory of Messrs. Bhole6 <k Cos.,
which is now in the bauds of the printer
and will shortly be issued.
This census places present population
of Savannah at 37,333, against 34,879 ast
rear, a gain of 2,454, or over 7 per cent.
The well known reputation of Mr. Sholes
for accuracy renders this computation a= re
liable as though it were made by official
authority. The population last year was
19,114 white and 15,765c010red; the present
division is, white 20,514, colored 16 819.
The rapid growth of the city in the past
two years in population, verging on to
7,000," Is exceedingly gratifying, and fur
nishes good ground for hop -fut caleula
tlons as to the future, when the improve
ments In our harbor are completed and our
river Is lighted from Tybee to the city,
which will assuredly be followed by an In
creased commerce.

Joseph Williams (c), George Boldrtdge,
John A. Andres, Aaron Denegall (c).
Solicitor General and George A. Mercer
for prosecution, and R E. Lester and A. P.
Adtms for defendant.
The testimony elicited was about the
same as the particulars given at the time of
the occurrence, and which are familiar to
our readers. The defendant made a state
ment not denying any of the salient points
of the testimony for the State, but asserted
that after using the epi'het of thief to
Mr. Moutmollin, he drew ht 6 pocket knife
and used It because Mr. Montmollin bad
seized him by the collar No other evidence
was introduced by the defense.
At six o’clock the testimony was closed
and Solicitor General Chariton opened the
argument and summed up the principal
polnta in the case, making a very strong
speech of one hour and a quarter, when the
court took a recess until quarter past eight.
Upon the reopening of court at a quarter
past eight, Captain George A. Mercer, as
sisting the prosecution, commecc-d his ar
gument, which embraced the law points,
and was earnest and able, lastirg until a
quarter to ten o’clock —one hour and a
half.
Colouei R. E Lester, of counsel for the
defendant, commenced speaking at ten
minutes to ten o’clock, and spoke until
twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, closing
the argument.
The court then charged the ju at length,
finishing at ten minutes to twelve o’clock,
when the case was submitted to :he
and a recess was ordered until 10 o’clock
this morning.
Throughout the day and during the entire
’lm* the court was in session up to mid
night the court room was crowded with
spectators, and more than u=ual interest w&s
manifested in the proceedings of the case.

Interesting History of How it* Loca
tion wai Obtained.
The bill authorizing the Secretary of War
to offer for sale the Oglethorpe Barracks in
this city, Savannah having been abandoned
as a military post, has passed one branch of
Congress, and 1U passage by the other is as
sured. Hence, it is probable tbe property
will be offered for sale within the next few
months. Its location renders It ex
ceedingly desirable property, and vari
ous uses have been suggested for it
That which meets with greatest favor Is
for our citizens to organize a joint stock
company, purchase the buildings and erect
on the site a handsome hotel and opera
bouse. We mention these matters only casu
ally, in view of the probable early sale of
tbe property, as no distinctive character bas
been given to any of the projects suggested.
Meanwhile it will be of interest to those of
our readers whose memory does not carry
them back half a century to learn something
concerning tbe location of the barracks In
this city and the efforts exerted to secure it.
We therefore present herewith extracts
bearine on the subject from the files of the
old Georgian, now preserved in the archives
of tbe Georgia Historical Society. They
will be found very Interesting reading:
From the Georgian. Wednesday, Dec. 7, 1831.
[communication.]
The fathers of the city, I fear, are not dis
posed to take any steps to secure the re
moval of the barracks, at least the subject
was not touched at their last regular meet
ing, and I suppose the troops will be quietly
allowed to leave us during the ensuing sum
mer to our own resources as heretofore. I
won’t pretend to say how much real security
we might enjoy were they to remain, but I
know that their presence would inspire
much cotfiieDC# and might serve to keep
some at home who have said, after the
events of last summer, nothing but actual
necessity should Induce them to stay an
other. This is a subject hardly proper for

very weighty reasons I have heard urged In

The committee appointed to draft a me
morial to Congress, praying for the erection
of suitable barraeks within the limits of the
city for the accommodation of the 'roops,
submitted the following memorial for the
consideration of Council, and recommended

Jas Eppingbr,
R. D. Arnold,
Geo. Suick,
Committee.
To the Honorable the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United Btates in
Congress assembled:
The memorial of the Mayor and Aldermen
of the city of Savannah respectfully
showeth:
That Is bas boen the practice of late ypars
to remove the Uolted States troops from
Cantonment Oglethorpe, near Savannah, to
a dls'ant part for several monthln summer.
Your memorialists are informed, and have
reason to believe, that this course has been
pursued solely in consequence of the ex
treme unhealthiness of that situation, and
the permanent location of United States
•roops among them being of importance to
th-> community they represent, they respect
fuilv Invite the attention of Congress to this
subject.
Your memorialists do not ask for the con
tinuance of the troops at the post they now
occupy to the imminent hazard of their
lives, but they would, with due deference,
fubmi’ to the consideration of Congress the
expadiency and necessity of forming an
other military establishment to be located
in this city. For years past Savaimsh bas
been favored with as much health as most
of our Atlantic cities, and has been
’xempt from any malignant disease, and the
professional -gentlemen who have been con
sulted on this occasion are decided in the
opinion that under proper restrictions the
troops might enjoy a good degree of health
in a position within its limits.
An eligible site for barracks could be ob
tained at a fair valuation, and your memo
rialists respectfully and earnestly solicit
your honorable bodies to authorise the pur
chase of gro ind and the erection ef bar
racks of durable materials, within the city
of Savannah, sufficient for the aecommoda
’ion of at least one hundred men, in order
that this community might be benefited by
the residence of United States troops among
them, and particularly at a time when from
the periodical emigration of many of our
white population, a military force is most
needed.
And your memorlalls’s will ever pray.
From the Georgian, Monday, Feb. 27, 1832.
We are extremely gratified to learn that
since the reception of the Bavannah memo
rial at Washington, orders have been re
ceived from the War Department to prepare
Immediately quarters wt’hin the city for the
troops at Cantor meat Oglethorpe during
the ensuing summer.
From the Georgian, Wednesday, May 9, 1832.
We mentioned some time since that orders
had been received from Washington to pre
pare quarters for the United Btates troops
on this station within the city, agrees bly
to the request of the City Council. The
Theatre, from the great extent of room
within its walls, and its healthy, airy situa
tion, has been rented for the summer for
that purpose, and Is now undergoing a com
plete cleansing preparatory to the troops
being removed into it. Tbe oncers will be
quartered In Its immediate vicinity.
If the present summer proves as favorable
as those for several years past, the risk of
sickness by the men will be no greater than
if at the Augusta Sand Hills, and we are In
duced to expect a successful result in this
trial from the fact that the temperance
reformation has reached them, in conse
quence of which, their habits, and conse
quently their general health, has essentially
Improved. By the laudable exertions of
Mr. Sewall, pastor of the Mariner’s Church,
a temperance eoclety has been formed
among them, to which forty four, out of
fifty four at the post, are attached, several
of whom were previously of the most dis !
pated habits Mr. Sawell is heartily
seconded by Captain Merchant and his offi
cers, and we hope every dtlz n will lend
his aid during the ensunlg season In foster
ing this spirit of reformation.
From the Georgian, Friday, May 18, 1832.
City Council.—* * * * Oa motion
of Alderman Eppinger, it was
Resolved, That the *ommandlng < ffleer of
tbe United Btates troops on this station be
allowed to fence In the space between the
Theatre and the southern boundary of the
academy lot, subject to removal at the
pleasure of Council.
From the Georgian, Tuesday, October 23, 1882.
U. 8. Troops. —We are gratified to learn
that the troops on this station, under the
command of Captain Merchant, fifty-five In
number, who have been quartered in the
Theatre during the summer months, hive
been as healthy as they would have been at
the Sand Hills of Augusta, or Indeed at any
other healthy place. Up to Saturday last
but one death had occurred among them,
and tbe sickness has been trifling, not
withstanding the opportunities of dissipating
afforded by their location within the city.
We have understood that the War Depart
ment before this experiment was tried was
not averse to the removal of the canton
ment buildings, providing ground on the
commons coqld be obtained from tbe corpo
ration. An application to that effect now
from our citizens would be no doubt
promptly acceded to.
From the Georgian, Friday, November 80,1832.
City Council —A regular meeting was
held yesterday. * * * The following,
offered by Alderman Arnold, was adopted,
and Aldermen Arnold, Williams and Sbaffer
appointed the committee to be associated
with the Mayor j
Whereas, The removal of the U. 8. troops
from this city during the summer months
has been shown by the experience of the
past summer to be unnecessary on the score
of health so long as they are kept within the
Inhabited precincts of the city; and where
as, tbelr permanent location amongst us is a
sutject of Interest to the community at
large, and as the unhealthy situation of the
present cantonment renders their occupa
tion of it during the summer baaardous to
tbelr health and lives; and whereas,
the erection of a permanent barracks within
tbe limits of the city would obviate all In
conveniences t
Resolved, That tbe Mayor be requested to
open a correspondence on the subject with
the Secretarv of War and with our delegates
In Congress; and that a committee (with
whom the Mayor shall be associated) be ap
pointed to draft a memorial to Congress
pressing upon that honorable body the ex
pediency and necessity of erecting a suitable
and permanent barracks lor the United
States troops within the inhabited limits of
the city; and that the Mayor be authorized
to offer to the government, at a fair valu
ation, any number of lots on the south com*
mon necessary for the buildings.
From the Georgian, Friday, December 14, 1832.
City Council —A regular meeting of
Council was held yesterday.
The committee appointed to report a me
morial on the subject of preparing quarters

dressed letters on the subject to tbe Secre
tary of War and our dalegatlou In Congress.
From the Georgian, Saturday, February 9,1838.
Council met on Thursday. * * * *
A communication was received from the
Quartermaster General of the United States
on the subject of obtaining lots for the
erectioh of barracks.
Colonel Williams offered the following
resolution, in accordance with the above
communica’lon:
Rtsolvtd, That a committee be authorized,
of which the Mayor shall be one, to desig
nate tbe site for tbe location of the new
barracks and to fix the price at which the
ground shall be sold tu fee simple to the
General Government, or be rented for a
term of years, the committee to be author
ized, as soon as they have agreed, to make
the proposition to the General Government.
The Mayor, Aldermen Williams, Eppin
ger, Shaffer and Sbick compose that com
mittee.
From the Georgian, Friday, April 19,1833.
New Barracks in Bavannah. —Among
the appropriations made by the last Con
gress, by referring to the law which we
publish this morning, will be found one of
$85,000 for a site and buildings for the ac
commodation of the United States troops at
this poet. The present situation has proved
so unhealthy that the troops could not be
kept there during tbe summer, except at
the expense of their health and lives. The
last Board of Aldermen and the present one
also forwarded petitions to Congress on the
subject, stating the circumstances which
rendered the stay of the troops daring the
summer impracticable, and praying that a
new situation for barracks might be pro
cured and new buildings erected,
where they might pass the summer lu health.
The last petition was forwarded at the
end of December last, and Its fate confided
to the Hon. James M. Wayne and the rest
of our delegation. The appropriation was
passed a short time afterwards. We men
tion this as an instance of the manner in
which that gentleman “mUrepresents hie con
stituenUV It is due to Mr. Wilde to state
that he was the only one of our delegation
besides Mr. Wayne who replied, and replied
favorably, to the communication of the
Mayor on the subject. We suppose that
some of them were too busy with nullifica
tion to attend to any request made by their
constituents.
From the Georgian, Saturday, April 20,1833.
In referring yesterday to the Inattention
of our delegation In Congress to the petition
of Council for new barracks, we alluded to
our Representatives ODly, as the object al
luded to received the attention and efficient
aid of Col. Troop, one of our Senators.
From the Georgian, Monday, April 22, 1833.
Meters. Arnold and Bulloch: Gentlemen —
Your editorial paragraphs in the Georgian
of the 19ih and 20 h Instant, In the first of
which Mr. Wilde and myself are represented
as havlDg attended to the call of the City
Council for an appropriation to remove the
barracks, and in the second of which
Colonel Troup Is said to have done the
same, induce me to say to you that the com
munication of Council upon the subject
was sustained equally by both of our Sena
tors, and by all of my colleagues.
Respectfully, Jambs M. Wayne.
N. B.—Colonel Foster introduced the re
solution.
[We were informed that the Mayor re
ceived no reply to hts communication on
the sut ject of the removal of the barracks,
except from the gentlemen we named In
our remarks, and this Induced the belief
that the communication of the Mayor was
uAttended to. — Editors Georgian .]
