The Court has no to fine parties under this Section '^Rsum. across the river, oharged with their team across the Savannah as a Government team, free were dismissed, they offering in the fact that they gave their iHI money or checks to pay toll every came over the Bridgo. man who went into the yard of to whom his wife had hired her- gave his said wife a blow or two, or so, because sho wouldn’t go hint, was fined S4O, or 60 days the Streets.

Receipts and Ex pen- The official statement just pub- that between the Ist of July, the 31st of March, 1866, tho ro the United States Government, sources, was $949,169,535 66; the for all purposes and objects, April Ist, 1866, to Juno 30, cxclu iH such as are connected with the He debt, Government receipts were, ;( j lK t Bl2 07 ; expenditures, $72,988,- *tßouu iH Bui.tocn County.—A correspondent *ot this Savannah Herald, writing from Bulloch county, says that a physician of that place was called te attend two men who had arrived from Savannah. They were found to be suffering from an at. task of eholara in its most malignant form. These men had been in the employment of the Government on Tybee Island, (at had fled thence te Bulloch county, hoping to escape the disease. One of the men died; the other stands a chance of recovery. This circumstance appears to exhibit a certain degree of carelessness In those oharged with the execution of quarantine regulations. There must be greater vigi lance exercised 1 over those persons who hare been put on Tybee Island, else the fearful malady from which they are suffering will soon spread over the entire State. Let more rigid measures of prevention and precaution be adopted so that the people on the coast and the interior may be safe from the dreadful disease which reapod such a harvest of death in the far Bast last summer, and is even now waving its black plumes over many family altars in North ern cities. Eating loe Cream.—From morn till eve do we hoar on our streets the song of iee cream hucksters: “Hero’s your ice cream, passing by," etc. Every child in the olty, from three years old to ten, has oaught tho air of the mongrel song, and sings it with a rim. Ico cream is very good, and noeds not such a ory to find purchasers. In all things, however, it is well to be tem perate, and upon the observance of time in eating depends one’s health, and oft times life. In Hall’s Journal of Health people are advised not to cat ice cream immediately aftet eating a meal. It destroys all the heat of the body which is needed to digest food. Deaths have frequently been caused by this common practice, and disease is oftcu bred by it. No one .should eat ice cream before two hours after a meal. Horse Trleves. — The Chattanooga Union understands that Dade county, and other portion*, of eountry adjacent, is in fested at times by horse thieves. It does but little good to arrest tbeso depredators and commit them to jail, as they generally con trive to get out in the course of a few weeks. Wo notice that in Missouri, Illinois, and in that direction, when the citizens get hold of a horse thief, he is apt to get looso before he reaches the jail, and no ono hoars of him any more. It is, perhaps, the only effectual way to get rid of the thieves. A Chase. —As a policeman was taking a colored man to the guard-house yesterday, about noon, oharged with steal ing, the latter tripped the former up, at the City Hall gate, and attempted to make his escape; but policeman Olive happened to be a little too quick for him and started in pursuit. A few shots were fired at the re treating foe, as persuasives to a stoppago on his part, and, after a short case, he was re-captured and secured. Parlies arrested by the police are very foolish to attempt an escape. They should know that it only makes matters worse for them in tho long run. Brownlow’s Victim Released.— Tho poeee comitalue , ordered by the Court in the haheat corpue case of tho ex-members of the Tennessee Legislature, under arrest by the House, broke into the Capitol and rescued the prisoners from the custody of tho Scargant-at-Arms. On being brought before the Judge by the Sheriff and his posse, the cx-Members wero discharged from arrest. Brownlow’s Conrt declared that this was inaugurating civil war. Burned to Death. —Miss Fanny For rest, niece of General Forrest, was burned to death at the residence of Dr. Ayres, near Hannibal, Mo., on Monday last, by tho ex plosion of a can, from which she was pour ing coal oil at the timo upon some burning wood, in order to kindle tho fire more ra pidly. She lived only a few hours after the accident. Miss F. was about nineteen years old. Paper Statue. —Miss Minnie Ream has been appointed by Congress to execute a life size statue of Lincoln, for which, it appears from a recent sheet, that she will require ten thousand dollars. This amount will make a very nice bundle. A New Paper. —Major Dick Orme, formerly of Atlanta, is preparing to issue the first number of a weekly newspaper in Brunswick, to be called the Brunswick Courier. Major Orme is a gentleman of ability- His paper will certainly prove a success. New Invention. —Mr. Wallwork, of Sbelbyville, Tenn., claims the title to an invention which will supercede all other kinds of signals in use on railroads. He professes to bo able, by the application of this invention, to stop a train, if desired, at any distance, and to shut off steam from an engine five miles away, the same as if he were on the engine. Coal Oil.—F. Holman advertises in another column, somo excellent Lubri cating Oil, for sale low, by the barrel or gallon, at his store, opposite the Planters’ Hotel. Those interested in the raffle for tluf enamelled Watch and Chain, are notified that the same will take place to-night at 8 o’clock, at the Oglethorpe. Groceries. —James G. Bailie & Bro. advertise a fine lot of groceries in another column. Give them a call if you wish bargains. Lard.— Messrs. Clarke & Derry have for salo some fine Virginia Leaf Lard. Call and examine it. Belligerent.—^Wednesday tJnIW a “belligerency" took place In the vicinage of that remarkable locality knuwn as Hawk’s Gaily. It was night time, and the “full orbed moon was shedding her silvery light upon the earth.” The parties were repre sentatives of Americans ind Cushites; the prime cause was children. It appears that some little minks were sporting in the moon-light when interrupted by the Cush ite, who bears the reputation of boing ex ceedingly saucy—a constant disturber of the publio peace. It was to punish this member of tbe corps de Afrique for bis in solence that the white man smote him With impressive force, leaving signs on the Cushite which tho Good Book tells us speaks so well and favorably for a wound. Tbe difficulty had not grown to portentious import when ono of our vigilant policeman made his appearance, and put a quietus on the affair by promptly arresting tho guilty party. Tbe evening preceding the one on which tbe above mentioned diffioul'y occurred, witnessed a little “pass-at-arms” between a soldier and a freedman. Inasmush as we saw the soldier in arrest, we snppose he must have been the bead centre of conflict. He was very loquacious, and from the tem per of his language was evidently not a believer in the equality of the races. It seems impossible, notwithstanding the warning given and punishments inflioted for denizens and sojourners here, to move along in tho even tonor of their way. They must occasionally and. senii-occasionally break the quiet which, at times, is almost monotonous, compared with last Winter’s scenes. Perhaps thoy may be concurring iu tho regular order of events ; sure it is theso disturbances add a certain amount to the public treasury, or failing to do this, never fails to feo the Clerk of the Court, before which thoy may be arraigned. Youthful Bobbers. —ln San Fran cisco tho police have discovered a gang of thieves, the oldest of whom is not over six teen or seventeen years of ago, with a regu lar organization, who have constructed caverns underneath the sidewalks in unfre quented localities, in which they burrow, and from which they oonstruct tunnels to adjacent stores. They are thus enabled to carry on the most systematic robkory, with but few chances of being detected. Poetical. —The Local of the Mobile Advertiser, being at tho Mayor’s Court some days sinee, where tilting hoops were “bob bing ’round” in a promiscuous manner, say.- he could not restiain his poetical fancy as he gazed on tho scene, and thought how mnch “These hoops wore like the poet Gray, * As we could plainly see; For they, as Gray, did show tho world A beautiful LEG !” Free Paper in Texas.—We have received a copy of the Merchants’ Tran- '■ script, a free circulating paper, published at Houston, Texas, by W. N. Bryant. It is a wall tins uLoot, aaalala. a- langa advsr-.- tising patronage, and is issued twice a; week, and distributed throughout the State and on all rail roads and steamboats gratis. Success to the Merchants' Transcript. New Firm.— Geo. R. Crump & Cos. have associated with them in business Mr. B. Davison, long and favorably known as a Commission Morchant of our city. The firm has heretofore enjoyed a fine repu tation, and we hope will continue to do so, and receive that patronage which they so justly deserve. Question for Bachelors.— Can “you tell,” asked a blooming lass of a suitor once, “what ship carries more passengers than tbe Great Eastern ?” “Well, Miss, really I don't think I can,” responded the suitor. “Why, it is Court-ship,” replied the maiden, with a conscious blush. Rain. —Our city was blest yesterday with a refreshing, dust-laying, and welcome shower. We are confident that rain was never more heartily wished for, or received, by almost any people, than by our city bound readers and expectant farmers. Late Papers.?—We are indebted tn our friend Quinn for New York papers i l Wednesday, and a Baltimore Sun of tl • same date, ahead of the mail. All kinds <•* papers can bo had at Quinn’s Literary Depot. Pickpocket Arrested. Yesterda > Policeman Shackleford arrested a your ■ froedmen, in Bridgo Row, for picking tl ' pockets of a “fellow servant” from the rur districts. The youth was carried to jar- He had an accomplice, but the latter man aged to escape. Another Arrest. —A negro namf » Thomas Dugas alias Davis, was arrestt I yesterday on the charge of being an accon plice of parties who havo been for somo tin \ engaged stealing cows. Bring Them Right Back.— The gen tinman who took a bunch of keys from tl i Clerk of Council’s desk, yesterday, by mi - take, is requested to return the same to-da i Accident. Yesterday afternoon Willie Bawls, a little boy,who resides in tt' Jower part of the city, had his left at ' broken, while playing on the River ban •. near Kirkpatrick’s place. Beef, Bkef.— Good Beef is offert * for sale at the corner of Ellis and Campb streets this morning. Go there and g t, some. To Rent.— A fire-proof store and desirable dwelling is offered for rent in a other column, by Mrs. Rossiguol. See a ' vertisement. Vnottaot,* THirvxs.— lke sardonic Interpretation of “ vegetable thieve*’’ hath been rendered by one person, at least, to be '< thievee whe make it their kuainess clan destinely to appropriate vegetables, not law fully their own.” We heflr frequent complaints; ofl the part of citizen* who, with great care and patience, to say nothing at all about the manual la bor exercise which they have taken, culti vated very nice gardens of corn, cabbages, tomatoes, and such other vegetables as are \utiiUble and to bo desiHiJ, that these gar dens are being nightly despoiled by certain ones who, though ashan ed to beg, dare to steal. It is bad to have hopes blasted, be they dependent upon what they may, and the disappointment is greater still when that is stolen from us. to tho enjoyment of which we have often looked forward with pleasure, i. c. a fine dinner of vegetables of our own raising. Such was the ill-luck of a young man whom wo know. At dewy eve his frow, mother and himself walked into the garden, and observing around, said: “What a dinner we'll havo !” They retired to their respective quarters at a respectable hour, and arose in tbe morning to find the sun pouring his parching rays upon a cabbage less, cornless, denuded garden. Other in stances of the same kind have latoly come to our knowledge. Out, say we, upon vegetable thieves ; the police cannot catch them, becanso they ope rate from neighboring yards. Let the peo ple watch for them. —A missionary asked an Indian “llow do you know there is a God ?” Pointing to footsteps in the 3and, the savage answered, “How do you know that men have been here?”. —“Do you know who I am?” said an officer to a fellow whom he had by the collar. “Not exactly, sir,” the fellow replied; “but I think you must be the malignant collerer.” Consignees feu Central Railroad, July 27.—J UB A B, D L Fullerton, E M Bruce, WytUan Cos, FAR, 6’D AM, E O’Donnell, J O M, J S A Cos, C Myers A Cos, J F Miller, 0 Sullivan, Ga R R, Aug G L Cos, J M C A Son, Pollard, C A Cos, C A Robbe, Ilorton A W, Z McCord, James Stogner, G A .1 Rappold, D S, E Mustih, Levy A J, Davidson A Cos, C A W A Cos, W C M A Cos, J C G, J F M, G Evers, P if: L, W H Tutt, Barrett, C A Cos, FOB, Schofficld, W if- Cos, W A R A Cos, F H Cooke, M Cohen, Myers A M, Dr J H P Brown, V Richards, B Learv, Chas Pcmble, C A Smith, Lt Col D W Flagler, Thos Sweeny, A Stevens.
