from Havana, arrived at Charleston yesterday. The steam
tug 1 7ywa was sent ‘down' Thursday night to communl-

morning without seeing any thing of her. It is probable
the Isabel waa unable.to get In Thursday night, as we un

Registry- Act.
We publish this morning the Registry Act passed at
the tiuft session of the Legislature. The 1st and 9th seo-
Uotta'ora omitted, as they do not relate to our municipal
‘ elections. It will bo seen, on reference to the Ac*, who
are qualified voters and who are not, and what the pen-
*• ally Is tbr Illegal voting. Should any person vote or offer
to Vote contrary to the provisions of the law, or should
any one preaentthe certificate of an absent or deceased
individual whose name la on the Registry books, we trust
an example will be made of him, and that he may be
safely lodged in the Penitentiary.
it will be seen that each voter will be required to sur
render hts certificate of reglatryat the polls before his
vote can be received.
i of the BrltXala Ship John DoAVolf.
t a gentleman who arrived here last night from Da
ve learn that the Br. Ship John Oe Wtlf, CapL Brad-
sbaw, from Liverpool for this port, went ashore on Ca
baret* Island, near Sapelo, on Wednesday night last
Our Informant also was told that ahe would In all proba
bility be a perfect wreck. Her cargo consisted of Coal
The City Government and Citizens’
Ticket.
We have some remarks to offer under this head to
which we‘invite the attention of dispassionate men of
all parties. In doing this, we cousult, or mean to con
sult, the public good, without Intending to cast reflec
tions on any individual or association of men. We may
add feat we have advanced substantially the same views
on a former occasion* '
The dissatisfaction with the present form and organi
sation of our municipal affairs Is wide spread, and U la
increasing so as to have taken a strong hold on reflecting
minds, 'There ta a powerful current of popular feeling
which looks towards some material change or modifica
tion- l& the modfe and manner of admlnlateribg our city
aflklrs,ahd that movement is, so for as wo can ascertain,
confined to .no particular class. No doubt, our city gov
ernment aa administered for years past has conferred
some essential benefits, while In other respects It has
proved td bo Strikingly defective. And, as Is often ob
served In like cases, the scale or disbursements for Its
support' has Increased in an almost direct proportion to
its Inefficiency. Ia not this the public decision on its
merits t Do our citizens receive from the present system
tho advantage, the protection, the personal security, for
which they are taxed, and for which they pay liberally?
We have lawa, and ordinances enough to embrace and
guarjTall our Interests, but are they effectually guarded?
Are wa not paying for a machine which might, so for as
mahyor its component parts are concerned, be broken
up And laid aside, as Inadequate to render a proper re
turn for the'annual appropriation! so generously voted
fer U - tVe have the outward forma and fixtures, titles,
trappings and taxes of a City Government, but there Is
much in it, that to vain show—tho body without the
■pillt-Hhe shadow without the substance. The tangible,
the present and beneficent reality to too often, not found
in company with the outward form.
These strictures (we wish it understood) do not apply
to present more than past times, bat we are tost outgrow
ing the old system—that which aufilced very well for
population of?,000 or 8,000 persons to Inadequate to
population of 20,000. There are crises In all human af-
toln.imperatitely demanding ameliorations. That com
munity to fortunate that seizes and appropriates the fa-
vorablo moment—unfortunate to that .one that slumbers
over Its rights snd Interests and allows the golden mo
ment to pau by unimproved t There to a time when old
effete^ and Inefficacious systems that no longer answer
the purpose of their creation, should be discontinued,
and new, vigorous and more direct ones be put in opera
tion. .That time, we apprehend, has arrived for Savan-
it to hardly worth while to investigate the causes which
have Conducted us to this anomalous condition in our
dal.polity.. There to one cause however, which , to so
prominent that it has become a proverb, and this de
mands attention. Party syirit has spread its malign
influence over our affairs for long yean. We do not ob
jects parly spirit In Ito proper place, properly exerted,
at proper times. Far from It. We are Whigs, and ex
pect to remain so. Others are firm In tbelr adherence to the
Democntlctoith. Thtoto all well. But what have Whig
or Democratic principles to do wife fee administration
orjustice, fee collection of taxes, fee police regulations,
the fixing of salaries of officers, and defining tbe& powers,
and tbo numerous other things that devolve on our City
Government? We do not mean to intimate feat in times
pastfee best Interests of fee city have not boen often
consulted by a change of rulors, but we think feat a fair
view.of the entire history of fee past, will prove feat fee
influence of party has in some way or another been our
baneand curse. We presume that fee truth of this ob
servation will be generally recognised. If it to not,
is no hope for tbe future.
But fee recognition of fee fact feat national politics,
Presidential elections and fee like, have nothing to do
wife our balloting for municipal officers, to not enough to
secure an unfettered and an independent City Govern
ment The political leaden or both sides must, so tor,
and so far only as our local affairs are concerned, turn
their backs, determinedly and resolutely, on general pol
itics. They must unlearn vfhathas grown wife their
growth and strengthened with their strength. They must
eradicate old prepossessions, and substitute for long
standing attachments, and for immemorial custom, tbe
sanctions of a high public duty. To abandon cherished
predilections, to keep In fee back-gronnd what has al-
ways taken post in the front rank, is Immensely difficult,
but It to not Impossible. One thing to clear, if this can
not be done in a generous aud self-sacrificing spirit by a
large Majority of our citizens, it will bo Impossible for
this community ever to take many steps in fee right di
rection. He who cannot make this declaration of inde
pendence, so for as city matter* are concerned, may well
doubt his ability to elevate hlihaelf to tbe level of a really
goodjutd devoted citizen. No doubt these suggestions
wU} seem Utopian to some, absurd to otheis,touuray
impracticable, but we will never believe that fee
citizens of Savannah are not capable of this sacrifice. If
they are not now, they may yet see fee day when they
will be Impelled, by unrelenting necessity, to assume and
pat |ii practice a,virtue which they now disown—for It
canabt.be, that fee interests and passions of fee few in
this city, shall always lord It over fee social righto of Ike
many.’
What ahsRbe done, It will be asked ? There to much
lobe done. First,'the existing machinery should be
made to'work wife more easy and active efficiency, and
then, If necessary. ths Legislature should be applied to
tor* new. form of government. We want, in fee first
place* au inependent ticket or good men without re-
speetto party, who shall be perfectly untrammelled in
making Uielr appointments. This we have. We wont a
Mayor wife a salary largo enough to enable him to ap.
proprtote fee wbolo or his time and energies to the pnbllo
welfare-who shall be responsible for fee public order,
and who shall hold bto subordinates strictly responsible
to him—without fear, fevor, or affection. These are one
or two important steps to take, but there are others
which we have not timo to detail. There to no difficulty
lu elaborating a good system—fee real difficulty consists
in fee sppllcatlon of good conduct, courage, persevering
and determined entwgy to its execution.
Weiubw that tbe people or Savannah would pay lib
erally and jltbout a murmur, fer a strong police, psrtio-
ulariy If a system should be devised which would save
money under some heads or expenditure, and cause now
auppUca to flow Into fee treasury from sources hitherto
neglected, or not yet explored. But aside from these
considerations, It U fcnown that a thorough police eyitom
to true economy. Think of fee money now expoodedln

Not a disturbance of tbe peaeo, not a foyr, not a violation
of the Sabbath should occur, without their personal In
terference, Their eyes should be every f here, or st all
evenjifarsboMd be ivory vfeere cxpeelefe - ;
Such to a rough sketch of some of our wants. The first
thing to bo done to to toti strong men to fee head of af
fairs— men of ago, of experience, of courago—men too,
k who are capable of elovaUng themselves above fee lm*
pure atmosphere or politics, and of administering the af-
fairs of fee city for fee publlo good. Such men are this
day offer to tho people of Savannah. Look to fee head
of our column* l There Is a Uckct for which every man
may well feel proud to vote. It Is, moreover, a dtlscns
Ticket, composed of men of.nll parties and nominated by
citizens in town meeting assembled. The men upon It
were selected fer their private and pnbllo worth, and for
their ability to i gerre fee city. Many of them hate comb
forward for fed first time before the public, and
but the dereliction of others, and too desire to
possible, the present downward tendency of tl-—
daces them to present themselves now. WUl1 nottbe
people imitate-tbelr example? It to a oontest between
the Politician and the CUy-betwcen Befbrm end Retro
gression—and If tore would strike for Law and Order,
there never was a bolter time than tho preseuL We call
upon all well-wlshara of the city, therefore, to come up
to their duty, and to rescue themselves from the clutches
of those who would use and abuse them for partisan pur
poses.
Tho Into Froabot—Condition of the
Roads above., - ..
Mr. Cuvt.XR returned to town lasl nlght, and Informs
us feat the passenger trains will certainly pass through
between Macon and Savannah on to-morrow.* He ex
pects fee mall to arrive from Maoon this erenrag, though
It may bo at a somewhat later hour than usuaL The
entire business of the road, in freighting, will be resumed
early In feo ensuing week, a day or two being requisite
to get the numerous engines and trains which are now
on tbe road, so arranged as to make a fair start.
We understand feat a very Urge force waa promptly
brought to fee repair of the road, which commenced on
Saturday morning last An Immense amount of work
has been done during the week, more perhaps than our
readers would credit tf it were tokl. Mr. Cuv taa Informs
ns feat the prompt repair of tho road tadue to the great
perseverance and most excellent Judgment of Mr. Super
intendent Mania. That gentleman worked his way,
and for a considerable distance on foot, to station 13,
under circumstances of great hardship and exposure.
He has been ably assisted by Messrs. Wnanaa and
Willrt, supervisors of the road, who exhibited tbe most
manly courage and perseverance. All hands have
worked with a win, felly appreciating fee Immense
Interests st stake and the anxiety of the people.
The Waynesboro Road sustained some damage, which
baa been promptly repaired. The communication with
Augusta was roaitabllshod yesterday.
Tbe Southwestern Road received damage at various
points between MsrshsWIlo (36 miles from Macon) and
Moulexuma, and some Injury between Flint River and
the town or Oglethorpe. Mr. Rktkold*, fee President
of the Road, and Mr. Adams, the Superintendent, lost
not a moment In bringing the proper force to the work or
repair, which to completed by this time.
The MlUedgevlUe fc Gordon Road sustained some In
jury, which was Immediately repaired, and the business
of the road resumed on Monday last. The Eatonton
Road and the Muscogee Road, we aro happy to learn,
escaped without serious damage. The Macon to Weston
Road of course escaped entirely unhurt, as It has not a
bridge, and scaree a culvert on U.
Mr. Cuyurr further Informs us that he was at Chatta-
nooga on the day of the flood, and returned to Maoon
late Saturday night He examined with great attention
the entire Une of Ufa 8tate Road. He speaks of fee con
dition or that great work In terms of the highest praise.
It really appears as if fee hand of magic had touched It,
for no ono acquainted wife Its former condition could
believe that so much could be accomplished In so short
a time, and in so perfect a manner, as baa been done by
Mr. Wan lit, feo. Superintendent There to an air of
neatnees, order and system about It, which has never
before been seen there. The road to capable of sustain

Healtla and Education.
Messrs. Editors: Knowing that many or your cltt-
zens, and those, farther south on tbe seaboard, leave In
the summer—some for the North, others for distant snd
offen Inconvenient places in the Interior—I venture to
Invite their attention to certain localities, now very ac
cessible by railroad from yonr city. The places referred
to, aro Midway and Scottsboro’, In the vicinity of MU-
ledge* tile. These places have long been noted for health,
equable climate and desirableness or location. This year
they have added vastly to'that reputation—having con
tinued remarkably healthy through tbe whole year,
while most other places have been more or less sickly.
They possess also eminent sdv mtages la point or educa
tion, there being a Male College In the one, and a Female
College in the other—both of them under judicious di
rection and affording Instruction of high order.
So easy also or access aro tboso places, and so conve
nient for business men, whose tomllles might be there
located, to glide up and down the road in a tow hours—
that, considering the many advantages fee places afford,
It would be difficult to find places In which eithcr/enwo-
neat locations, or for ths summer, could be so Judiciously
made. Desirable houses snd lots can be bad also In
either plaee, at lower rates than in, probably, any other
place of equal Importance Jn .the State. Those who bo-
long,as Ido, to the“ Home Squadron”—who believe also
In building up tbelr own Institutions snd places of resort,
rather than those at a distance, might find U at once pleas
ant and advantageous to secure eligible locations In one
or the other of those places. I add only, that those who
have sons and daughters both to educate, will have the
rare ad van logo of doing so without sending either from
home—boys and young men finding it not at all Inconve
nient to go from the Boro* to the Oglethorpe University
In Midway, and fee young ladies receivo their instruc
tion In the village. Yours, toe. T. B. B.

Proceedings ot Council.
SAVANNAH, DEC. 2, 1853.
Council met—Present: Hto Honor Richard D. Arnold,
Mayor: Aldermen Anderson, AUen, Gallic, Screven,
Walker, Smola, Mallory, Bulloch and Bartow.
Tbe Minutes of the last meeting were rood and con
firmed.
The Information and Fine Dockets were read and
confirmed.
Reports.
The following Reports were read and adopted:
The Committee on 8treeta and Lanes and on Finance,
to whom was referred fee citizens’ petition (br toying a
Plank Road through Broughtun-street, are as fully aware
as tbe petitioners themselves of the benefit to be derived
from It, but they are nevertheless constrained lo report
adversely, as It to tbe opinion of the most eminent Physi
cians feat the decay of lumber used In the construction
or plank roads In this climate to very deleterious to health.
The present plank road being Indispensable for the
transportation of goods lo and from the Railroad depot,
jut in its worn-out condition a nuisance, the Commltiee
recommend that It be Ira mad lately renewed, with such
improvements as experience has shown necessary.—
With a view to a better thoroughfkro, the Committee
further recommend the paving of Bay and Broughton-
street lanes as soon as stone* ran be had.
A. A. SMETS,
Chairman Committee on Finance.
Tho Street and Lane Committee have bad under con
sideration tho petition of sundry citizens, on the subject
or tbe drain through Hull-street. Owing to the culvert
east of the canal being unfinished, so as to ascertain
whether this could be usbd.for carrying off all the water
which must necessarily pass through Hull-street, the
Committeo haro not been able to take any action, and
respectfully refer tbe subject to their successors.
v JNO. W. ANDERSON,
Chairman Committee on Streets and Lanes.
The Committee on Fire Department, to whom was re-
furred tho motion on the propriety or bnving chimneys
wherein coal to burnt swept, and amend tho Ordinance
relative thereto—
Report, that they consider the present system of sweep
ing chimneys very defective. For the correctness of tbelr
opinion they need only refer to tbe fact that chimneys
that have taken fire for years past had, with few excep
tions, been regularly swept. In the process of sweeping,
tbe coat of plastering inside of the Hues to generally des
troyed and notes made In which tbe soot lodges and ac
cumulates until removed, not by the sweeps, but by fire.
In Charleston the voluntary system Is In successful op
eration. There are few house-keepers who, In order to'
be relieved from the annoyance resulting from the trou
blesome requirements of our Fire Ordinances, would not
cheerfully pay double, even treble, the present rates. In
Augusta and other places chimaoya are never swept, they
ate fired In rainy weather, and by this means kept clean
ed with less risk than by sweeping. The Committee,
however, apprehensive that flues In many cases may have
been too much injured by tbe present process lo warrant
tho adoption or the Augusta, mode, recommend for the
f ireaent only a few modifications, for which they beg
cave to introduce an ordluance.
A. A. SMETS, Chairman.
The special Committee appointed to report upon the
petition of Messrs. Bilbo, Tneus, et at^ praying remuner
ation for damage done their crops by tho city drain on
Thunderbolt r<»d, report adversely to the petition.

these old men, veteran ptoyera, who know every ruse of
the game, whose practised memory to faithful, and
“where women are not concerned, honest, worthy men,”

warm hearts and ready minds. At the last Chantilly
races there was an Instance of this. A young lady whose
