Fourteeu months’ imprisonment Lmpletely immortalized and martyrized R0U Davis It makes no difference now We have gathered the following interesting particulars relating to the present unfortu nate condition of the' United States troops at Tybee. CoL Carling, Chief Quartermaster at tnis post, has sent to the quarantine ground all the transportation necessary for immediate use, and a full supply of hospital furniture and hospital stores. He now sends per steamer Resolute about 6,000 gallons of wa ter daily for the use of the j hospitals and troops. The great demand has been for ice and pure water. The hospital has been moved from in and around the Martello Tower to the beach facing the Tybee Roads, where the patients can have more and perhaps purer air. There are seven hospital tents now pitched and under the efficient superintendence of Dr. Winne, of the U. S. Army, and we are assured that affairs are beginning to assume the business shape and system which should have prevailed at the quarantine ground pre vious to the appearance of the pestilence. The Hospital is in two sections—the first un der the charge of Dr. G. B. Higginbotham, of Brooklyn, late of the U. S. Navy, and the other is [superintended by Dr. G. W. South- wick, of Illinois, who is at present nearly un fitted by sickness for a full discharge of his duties. Dr Irving G. Rosse, the Quarantine Surgeon, has charge of the sanitary depart ment of the San Salvador, the passengers and crew of which are still enjoying excel lent health. Their wants are well supplied by Capt. Hardee, the agent of the ship at this port. A number of the passengers, by permission of the proper authority, have chartered the schooner Sciance, in which they make daily excursions to sea for pleas ant and healthful recreation. There has been admitted into the Quaran tine Hospital at Yybee, from the 18th to the 25th inst., one hundred aud twenty patients, one hundred and ten of which are cholera cases, and the remainder remittent and typhoid. Out of this number fifty-five have died, thirteen of whom were, found dead on the adjacent islands, where they had perish ed in their vain attempts to escape the plague. It is believed that about twelve more have died in the marshes or were drowned in their attempts to swim the rivers. The number of deserters has been greatly exagerated, as many have returned of their own accord. On Tuesday there were seventeen deaths, and on Wednesday fourteen. We have been informed that Capt. Ells worth, of the U. S. Infantry, who commands this detachment, has made every endeavor to save the lives of his men, and prevent their straggling. The responsibility of his position has not only been great, but painful. He has, however, met it like a true soldier, exhibiting extraordinary courage without pride nr vanity. He has been much assisted by Dr. Winne, whose energy begins to tell in reviving the confidence of the men. The Rev. Father Kirby is at present on the Island, and constant in his attendance on the sick, and administering consolation to the dying. His friends will be happy to learn of his continued good health and great useful ness. A very heavy thunder shower visited the Island Wednesday night which, it is sup posed, will have a beneficial effect. This detachment consisted of four hun dred and seventy-three recruits for the 7th U. S. Infantry, now stationed in the district of Florida. The loss by death to the present time is about one out of every six. Three or four citizens have died on the Island, not included in the above account. It is reported that Mr. Cooper, the Light House constructor, died of fever. We are informed from a re liable source that he died of cholera. The deceased stood very high as a man of strict integrity, and bis death is much lamented. Of course the work on the Light House is discontinued, $nd will probably not be re sumed for some time. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 27,* 1806. As PRICE, 6 CENTS. T%e Fenian Vote sad the Politician*. The Fenians have the misfortune to be K red by all kinds of trials, troubles and latkms. The last, but by no means the least formidable of their troubles, is tlie raid which.is now being made upon them by the politicians. Democratic and Republican leaders are alike engaged in plotting, schem ing and wire-pulling for the Fenian vote in the coming elections. Hitherto the Irish vote has been largely Democratic, and the attempts of the Republicans to beguile Irish men into their ffinks' has invariably failed; bnt the suppression of the late Femau move- men upon Canada, by the Administration to which the Democratic party is allied, has in spired the Republicans with the hope that their time for winning the Irish vote has at last arrived. Their plan is, ’of. course, to take strong pro-Fenian grounds in respect to the relations between .the United States and Canada. In^cc<SdaaM) with this programme a Republican member of Congress lately of fered a resolution to lithe effect that the United States should acknowledge the Fenians as belligerents; another Republican offered a resolution for repealing the neutrality laws in respect to Canada ; and still another lution instructing use the influence of the Govern ment for procuring (he release oi the Fenian prisoners in Canada. There are other circumstances of a like character, ail indicating that the Republicans intend to bid high for the Fenian vote. It is not like ly that the Republicans wili be successful to any great extent in this effort, but their skilltul strategy has evidently caused a little uneasiness among the Democratic leaders, inducing them to take measures for the counteracting the effects of the Republican scheme. Among the resolutions adopted at the Democratic fountainhead meeting, which was held in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Wed nesday, we find the following; “Resolved, That the sympathies of the Democracy are now, as they ever have been, with our brave brothers of the Emerald Isle, in their gal,ant efforts to free their native land from the foul tyranny of England; and that we owe nothing to the English govern ment which should prevent us from repeal ing or modifying the neutrality laws, so as to give the Irish fair play, which is all they ask.” This shows that the Democratic leaders do not mean to be outbid by the Republicans. If the latter have any hope of winning they must go considerably higher. As the mat ter now stands, the bids are even in respect to the repeal of the neutrality laws, etc., but the Democrats have the advantage by characterizing the Fenians as “our brave brothers of the Emerald Isle.” How would it do for the Republicans to invest all their loose change in Fenian bonds ?—New York Snn.

Among the curious sights of Paris well worth seeing, is the establishment of which we have the following description by the Paris correspondent of the Morning Star: To those among your readers who are now contemplating a sojourn in this metropolis, I should recommend a visit to “LaCaliforuie,” a monster restaurant Dear the Barriere du Maine, and which is the rendezvous of hun dreds of workmen and ruined young men of various classes. No less than 18,000 persons can be accommodated there. The So/eil gives ns some carious details as to this im mense establishment. From four o’clock in the morning the servants of La Californie are at work. Sixteen cooks are In constant em ployment. The waiters have no other occfe, pation than ..that of pouring out wine adjl ■upplying the customers with glasses and plates, and there are thirty.five of them hard at work from morning till night. Tlie pro prietor was originally a butcher, and usually reserved for the use of bis restaurant five hundred oalves per mouth and fifteen hun dred rabbits. Thirty butchers scarcely suf fice to supplv the amount of meat now re quired by “La Californie,” since he has put my heart, which beats with so warm and fatherly a feeling for the good of my peoples. But the reliance which I expressed in my manifesto of the 17th of Jane—a reliance on your un alterable ana faithful devotion and readiness for any self-sacrifice—a reliance on the cour age of my army, which even misfortune can- . not subdue—a reliance upon God and my presented a reso- g O0( j ami sacred right—this has not wavered the President to f or a a i n ,,le instant. I have addressed my self to the Emperor of tbe French respecting his good offices for bringing about an armis tice with Italy. Nob merely did the Empe ror readily respond to my demand, but with noble intention of preventing any further bloodshed, he even, of bis own accord, of fered to mediate with prussic for a suspen sion of hostilities and for opening negotia tions for peace. This offer I have accepted. I am prepared to make peace upon honora ble conditions, in order to put an end tc the bloodshed and ravages of war. But 1 would never sanction a treaty of peace by which the fundamental conditions of Austria’s po sition as a great power would be shaken. Sooner than that this should be the case I am resolved to carry on the war to the utmost extremity, and in this I am sure of my peo ple’s approval. All available troops are be ing concentrated, and the gaps in the ranks of the army are filled up by the conscription which has been ordered, and the large en rollment of volunteers called to arms by the newly awakened spirit of patriotism. Aus tria has been severely visited by misfortune, but she is not humiliated or bowed down. My peoples, have confidence in your Em peror. The peoples of Austria have never shown themselves greater than in misfortune. 1 will follow the example of my forefathers, and will lead you on with determination, perseverance, and unshaken confidence iu God.

Given ai my residence in the capital of Vi- ena, this 10i.ii day of July, 1866 The Times remarks : We have never read sadder words than those which the Emperor of Austria ad dresses to his people. The reverses of his army, the occupation of one of his kingdoms, the danger ot his capital, have almost bowed down that proud and confident spirit. Know ing what manner oT man Francis Joseph is by nature, we may judge of the humiliation he must have felt in doing what he has done, and saying what he has said.

SOUTHERN The recent terrible conflagration at Port land, and the consequent suffering inflicted upon thousands of the people, to say nothing of the almost crushing blow to the prosperity of one of onr most promising cities, calls for cibly to mind scenes of a similar character in another part ,«f the country, only a few months ago.

How little did they realize the sig nification of the terse language of the tele- rapk as it successively announced “Atlanta lestroyed,” “Columbia wiped out,” “the cradle of the rebellion a mass of reins,” ’Richmond in ashes.” The frightful scene at Portland has brought home to onr own doors the terrible significance of the destruction which many pious people prayed so ardently to be visited upon the South—and while it opens our hearts in sympathy and charity for the afflicted, it should also cause a reviewal of the feelings so common a few months ago, and give energy to the patriotic determina tion to rescue our country from the perils of another civil war, by re-establishing the fra ternal relations which existed between our ancestors, North and South, when the joined hands to resist a common enemy, and fonnd country m which their prosperity might enjoy a common prosperity and feel a com mon pride.

Terrible Tragedy.—Peachtree street was thrown into a fearful state of excitement last night, about nine o'clock, by one of the bloodiest tragedies that ever occurred in tbis city. The circumstances transpired in the back yard of tbe little store in which Mr. C. Hammond is doing business on the above street, and the particulars are as follows, so for as we could learo last night: Mr. Hammond has had in his employment a negro woman and her son, whose conduct, of late, has been such as to cause a bad feel ing to exist between them. Tbe black boy has been especially insolent, and at dusk last evening a son ot Mr. Hammond was com pelled to correct him, when a slight fisticuffs occurred. It was supposed, however, that the difficulty was ended. Later in the night, as young Hammond was in the back yard of the store, be was assaulted in a most violent manner by both mother and son. The mo ther, who is a very stout negro weneb, seized the young man aud held him firmly, while her son inflicted a terrible wound near his neck With ajong knife, which had evidently been procured fot ^be purpose. The une qual contest was bat of a moment's duration, and resulted in the death of young Ham mond. The negro boy attempted to escape, but was apprebefided near the store of. Oox & Hill. The nibther, we learn, made ho effort to get away. They Mere both taken into custody, aud sq iuthrUMd. and outraged were the crowded .throng of bystanders at the fiendisbness of the act, that it was wilfr tbe utmost difficulty they were prevented from visiting summary vengeance upon the boy then and there.

The continued alienation of tbe staple-pro ducing States, and their subjection to arbi trary power and plunder, begin to shake confidence in the stability of tbe Govern ment. Tbe next Cougress, and indeed the action of the present Congress at the next session, may involve the country more deeply than ever in the danger of a dissolution of the Federal Government.

Al ready we find that prudent and considerate men, who are not office-holders, nor partici pants in tbe public plunder, which is one of tbe chief bond9 that hold together the Radi cal Congress party, are becoming shy of Gov ernment securities, except for temporary pur poses, and are investing their money in real property, which may survive the shock of the public credit, aud tbe failure of tbe Goi- ernment promises to pay. A collision, at some time, either before or soon after the Presidential election, between the Congress faction and the conservative power of the people, may be, and is, appre hended . The Radical Congress cannot much longer refuse, without hazard to the public credit, to recognize the loyal States of the |i>uth and tbe loyal men whom they elect as their, representatives. There are many ways in which difficulties might arise which would render legislation uncertain, and even atop the wheels ot the Government entirely, it, indeed, the people are to tolerate and sup port tbis usurping and tyrannical Congress and their measures. A horrible tragedy was enacted in Cald well county, Kentucky, oh Thursday last. Andrew Alexander, sixty years of age, had frequent and violent quarrels with his wife. Early on Thursday morning, when both man and wife were alone in the house, the wife shot her hnsband twice, killing him instantly. AlexanderiMOB vras at the barn, and hearing the repoiffcf pf the pistol,, went to the bouse. As be entered the door his stepmother-turned and fired upon huntwice, slightly wounding hi® each time. He fled to the nearest neighbor's for assistance, and while on the way bi beard tbe report of the pistol again. When the neigbbore arrived they found her dead in the yard, the having shot herself Negro Military Oboaiiization.—Whilst walking on the lower part of Main street last Friday night, about 8 o’clock, onr attention . was drawn to a large body of men in military lflg back, at the moment of array.

Speaking of tbe failure of tbe Confederacy, and tbe cause of that failure, he said: “It was the will of God that we should not succeed. We seemed to be within reach of suc cess two or three times, but just missed it. It was tbe will of God. The beneficial re-' suits of tbe suffering and sacrifices of the struggle may yet be attained in a different form." Of himself, Gen. Hood spoke little, and modestly. His eye kindled once when I spoke of ‘Hood’s Texans.’ “I have also seen tbe fat and famous Hum phrey Marshall, whilom brigadier in the late Confederacy. He is a monster of corpulence. In looking at him, yon cannot help fearing that hetmay burst through bis clothes, that everywhere seemed stretched to their atmost tension. But wbat an Imperial head sur mounts this immense fatty mass. Physically and mentally alike, he is great. He is not religions—israther inclined the other way.” Laconic.—The following correspondence is published in Waukegan, Illinois > Waukegan, III., June 24. To Hon.
