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. W. M. DAVIDSON’S LETTER. 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. Truly yours, W. M.

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.

Feb. 14,1871, tf. The Giuciunnati Commercial gives up New York to the Democracy in the pres idential election. When a man with a mother-in-ilaw kills himself iu Arkansas the coroner’s jury brings in a verdict of justifiable suicide. That ancient mariner, Capt. Maury has ceased permanently going down to the sea, and has cast anchor as Presi dent of the University of Alabama. New York and Brooklyn are each to have a Roman Catholic Cathedral cost ing two million of dollars. The work is progressing slowly. Beecher says he can never get up to his own ideal of preaching which is perhaps fortunate for the public. There is some talk of issuing a cheap edition of Greeley’s “What I Know About Farming” as a Democratic cam paign document. Since restrictions have been put on the 6ale of spirituous liquors in Massachu setts, the “Fluid Extract of Apples” has made its appearance in the market. The two main points in the new Rad ical platform of Massachusetts, are wo man suffrage and total prohibition of the liquor traffic. A weekly journal to advocate labor reform, and Ben Butler for Governor, is to be started at Boston. A correspondent of a New York paper says Joaquin Miller is the coming poet. This is all very well if the correspon dent is not Joaquin. Mr. Greeley’s agricultural labors have done some good. While he has been showinging his countrymen how to cul tivate the smiling fields, he has supplied them with laughing stock. The name of the Radical candidate for Governor of Ohio is No-yes, and that is the language of the platform upon which he is placed. The Trojan newspaper war grows fierce. One editor says that he con siders a brother jonralist as‘‘sufficiently well posted to edit a handbill.” A Sitka revenue collector faithfully seizes aud sends back ale and beer ar riving in that province. He has a brew ery of his own up there—that’s why, Josh Billing says that a large policy of life insurance doesn’t exactly make a man’s corps smile at his widow, but it helps amazingly to get another fellow to do it for him. General Joseph E. Johnston is 6aid to be looking in better health, and younger by ten years, than he did seven years ago. His constitution has not been affected by the operation of any of the obnoxious amendments made by a “tyrannical government.” Spinner called on the Rothschilds re- cently and sent in his autograph card. The Baron, on looking at it, fainted away, thinking it a Ku Klnx warning. The delay occasioned by resuscitating the old gentleman made Spinner mad, and he spun back to his lodgings in a decided pet. At a certain hotel in Ohio, a large mirror is placed at the entrance of the dining hall, which is so constructed that you see yourself a thin, cadaverous, hungry person ; but when you come out from the table and look again in the glass, your body is distended in the extremity of corpulency. Lieutenant Governor Dunn (negro) aDd Governor Warmouth have raised a Radical unpleasantness in Louisiana. Books belonging to the Executive office have been carried off. Each claims to be Governor. The Federal officers and the United States Marshal seem to have taken sidqg with the Lieutenant Govern or. Grant, in his proclamation of pardon of the murderer aud bigamist, Bowen, gives as one reason moving him thereto, the fact that Bowen had “rendered good service to the cause of the Union.” In so doing he differed, very materially, from the “trooly loyl” jury who convict ed the bigamist. They held that he had rendered too much service to the cause of the “Union,” if having three wives couuta for anything. Next Saturday night, says the Couri er-Journal, the Carpet-baggers’ and Scalawags’ State Central Polemic Soci ety of South Carolina will debate the great National question, “Does the Presi dent’s pardon of Bowen authorize that distinguished gentleman to marry some more 7” Front seats reserved for ladies bringing certificates of loyalty. Mr. Akerman, Attorney General of the United States, has, at much person al inconvenience, quit bis residence in Georgia, and come to Washington to pass a few days in the Department of Justice, aud draw bis salary on the 1st of July, as prescribed by law. As the season is unpleasant, he would prefer not to be disturbed by what is called public business during bis sojourn at the Capital; but, imitating the illustri ous example of the “Government” at Long Branch, he is willing to bo “inter viewed/’ to any reasonable extent, upon all subjects except his connection with the Confederate army, which, as a “lov- al*' office-holder, he now virtually la ments. Mr. Akerman will return to his heme in a few weeks for the summer, and has made arrangements for receiv ing his pay, by which he will be spared the vexation of another visit to Wash ington before autumn.— Wash. Patriot 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. 4 ♦ •» 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. To Remove Stains from Linen. —To remove wine, fruit, or iron stains, wet the spot with a solution of hyposulphite of soda, and sprin kle some pulverized tartaric acid upon it; then wash out as usual.
