BELL & HULL’S LETTER.
Savannah, Ga., February 24,1871.
Messrs. Herring, Farrel & Sherman, 251
Broadway, New York:
Gents.—The large and destructive fire of
February 22nd, consumed the building oceu
pied by us. We were using one of your Her
ring’s Patent Champion Safes, made sixteen
years ago. It contained Seven Hundred Dol
lars in money, our books and valuable papers.
We were unable to get the safe open until
eighteen hours after the fire. We found the
contents in excellent condition; the only injury
was the binding of the books, drawn by the
steam. This test of the fire proof quality of
your safes was a severe one, as all cau testify
who saw the fire. The amount of combusti
ble materials of the building itself, added to the
cotton and other goods stored in it, made as
hot a fire as often occurs.
Respectfully yours;
BELL & HULL.

Savannah, Ga., February 24, 1871.
Messrs. Herring, Farrel ft Sherman, 251
Broadway, New York:
Gents.—I had one of your Herring’s Patent
Champion Safes in the fire of Wednesday
night. February 22d. It remained in the ruins
thirty-six hours before it could be onened. My
stock of goods (being a wholesale liquor mer
chant) made a very hot fire, thoroughly testing
the quality of the safe. It contained some
money, my books and papers two gold watches
two silver goblets, and other valuables. All of
them are preserved in fine order. The eoiers
of the books are drawn by the steam. It was
a genuine test,and your Champion Safe has
done mu excellent service. The fire was one
of the hotiest that ever took place in this city.

Dear Sirs: I have prescribed in my prac
tice the Moise’s Fever and Ague Pills stnt
me, in several cases of Chronic Chill and Fe
ver, both among my white and colored pa
tients. with great success, they having effec
ted a Prompt and Permanent Cure in every
case, where all other medicines have failed. I
note particularly my colored patients, because
they are more exposed, and less likely to
take care of themselves when the Chill leaves
them.
I regard Moise’s Fever and Ague Pills as a
Certain Cure, and a blessing to all living in
the Malarious districts of the South, and par-
Fcularly in the everglades of our State.
Very respectfully, yours,

the fact that Bowen had “rendered good

Heavy Defalcation in the Savannah Custom
House.
The Savannah Daily Advertiser of the
9th instant has the following :
We received yesterday from our
Washington correspondent, who is a
gentleman of high standing and favored
with peculiar facilities for procuring de
partment news, the following telegram,
which our subsequent investigation
proved to be true in every particular.
The dispatch says: “For some time past
the Treasury Department has had rea
son tosuspect that the financial affairs of
the Savannah Custom House were not in
a satisfactory condition, and concluded
to set a watch upon those whose posi
tion enabled them to make away with
the funds. Report received here con
firms this suspicion, it being charged
that a defalcation has been discovered
amounting to eleven thousand dollars,
eight thousand of which are represented
by false vouchers issued to supply the
deficiency, and the balance by extra
charges made against merchants and
vessels not authorized by law.
It is understood that a prominent par
ty from Savannah is now North for the
purpose of raising funds to cover the de
falcation.”
The last number of Harper’s Sncak-
!y—which, by the way, is the meanest
Radical sheet in existence—exults in
the fact that Jeff. Davis, Toombs, Ste
phens, and other rebel leaders, do not
accept the “New Democratic Depar
ture,” and says that “All these expres
sions are the signs of a deep and real
feeling, dangerous to the welfare of the
country, wholly confined to the Demos
cratic party.”
And then, in almost the next sentence,
it says :
“If Jeff. Davis, and Toombs, and Ste
phens were all enthusiastic for the New
Departure, it would be a most suspicious
enthusiasm.”
Now, what would this double insen
sate ass or this wretched refined rogue
have? If Jeff. Davis and Toombs were
all “for the New Departure, it would be
a most suspicious enthusiasmbut as
they are all against, “their expressions
are the signs of a deep and real feeling,
dangerous to the welfare of the country.’ *
Nothing will suit Air. Asinns, of Har
per’s Weekly. He evidently belongs to
Doestick’s family, and thinks that all
men—especially the Republican party—
are brethren, rougish and silly as he is,
and determined, somehow or other, to
have Jeff. Davis and Toombs in a posi
tion where they will act as scarecrows to
prevent weak men from voting the Dem
ocratic ticket. Fortunately, however,
the people of the North are beginning
to see that Toombs, Jeff Davis and
other Southern extremists are the real
allies of the Northern Republicans, and
are beginning to think for themselves
upon these subjects instead of taking the
penny-a liner opinions of such would-ba
wiseacres and literary frauds as the wri
ter in Harper’s Sneahly and other Re
publican journals.—Dayton ( O.J Jour.
The Snez Canal, it is asserted, is fils
ling up with sand, and in confirmation
of this report a letter is printed in tho
London Times from the captain of a
screw steamer, who says that, with a
draft of 17J feet forward and 20L feet
aft, his steamer grounded 31 times in tho
canal. He also says that for the last 15
miles the steamer was in tow of a tug,
with two pilots in charge, and notwith
standing these advantages, she grounded
seven times. The steamer was 72 hours
in passing through the canal. The Eng
lish director of the Suez Canal, who had
announced in the Times that measures
had been adopted to maintain the canal
at its present minimum depth of 20 Eng
lish feet of water, replied to the letter
of the captain, asking the name of the
screw steamer which had encountered so
many difficulties in passing through the
canal, so that he might make inquiries
into the affair, and prevent a recurrence
of similar delays in case of other vessels.
In regard to the version of the affray
between Messrs. Hill and Yancey in the
Confederate Senate, Mr. Stephens, in
the Atlanta Sun, has this to say:
“We give our readers the foregoing
article, as we sec it in several of our ex
changes, but iu doing so w r e feel con
strained to state, that we have good rea
sons for saying that the account therein
given of any personal rencontre that
may have occurred between the parties'
referred to, in the Confederate States
Senate, is not correct. It is but a cari
cature representation of the facts so far
as relates to the conduct of both of the
distinguished Senators.
Mr. Yancey is not in life to speak for
himself. Whether Air. Hill feels at lib
erty to speak upon the subject at all, or
not, we do not know. But in behalf of
both we feel it a duty to say what we
have said iu relation to the article, as it
is now going the rounds of the press,
and is calculated to produce very erro
neous impressions.” A. H. S.

A delegation from the South, who
called upon President Grant at Long
Branch, returned to Washington very
much disgusted. His Excellency, it
seems, reiused to see them, but gave
them to understand that his house at
Long Branch was a private residence,
and that for official business they must
take their chances of catching him at
Washington. The delegation, it is un
derstood, came from an impoverished
portion of the South, and had no pres
ents to offer. Nor was there any money
in their mission.
