T11EI NEWS AND HERALD.] Comparative Advantages of Savannah and Nt-w Orleans for the Cotton of Southwemern Georgia. [From the Cambridge Argus.] Savannah, Ua., Oct. 20th, 1866. Willis M. Russell, Esq , Editor Bainbridge Argus. Dear Sir : The citizens ot Savannah cannot but appreciate the lively interest that your journal has always manifested in behalf of her commercial claims; an evidence it is of the kindly feelings of your section of the Slate toward Georgia’s principal port. They have for a long season anxiously contem plated the prospects of an iutimute connection through the agency of the Gull Railroad, and hope fully anticipate a speedy realization of their desire. The unfortunate postponement of this result, arising under the circumstances of llie late war, has been occasioned by difficulties and obstacles of an almost insurmountable character. But if earnest desire, se conded by vigorous and enthusiastic energy, be capa ble of any accomplishment, we may still look forward reasonably to an early resumption of the work of laying tho iron to your very doors. Such, in fact, is the assurance of Col. Screven, in his recent letter on this subject, in which he briefly alludes to the causes of interruption, accompanied with declarations of purposes to resume, at the eeriest practicable mo ment, tbe work of extending the Gulf Road towards its ultimate terminal point. Mobile. The 1 ecen t vigorous protests of your section against any further delay, originating too in part under some misapprehension as to the circumstances under which tlie work of rebuilding tbe Florida Branch was under taken, we must regard but us manifestations of uu earnest dlsire to be brought into active commu nications with the larger channels of trade. In your disappointment we feel a lively sympathy with you. But this docs not meet tbe necessities of the present year, you S'iy. And the question pertinent to your immediate interest was the consideration of some ex- pcdi«.-ut contributing to immediate relief. Two such expedients have been found or offered to the merchants and planters ot Southwest Georgia, viz: that of direct shipment to New Orleans and that to Savannah made more accessible by liberal discriin- iuation. I propose to examine with 3*011 the respective merits of these two expedients, with the view to estab lish tho claims of the most eligible one. Heretofore the natural outlet to the product* of Southwestern Georgia, and tho principal medium of supply lias been the Apalachicola river and its navi gable tributaries—Apatachic.ila, as u mart, being the point ol transhipment aud delivery. But the active progressive era of iho “ iron horse’ 1 has made nature as a common carrier secondary to art. And to keep pace with the rapid and extended requirements of trade, you demanded the facilities of railroad commu nication. Isolated and w ith but a single outlet, tho opportunities ol your trade were limited and circum scribed. By the rail you would be brought iuto con tact with other centres ol trade and thereby under varied and eularged influences, with the additional advantage over the did and single route of speed and cheapness. These were, truly, considerations of suf ficient importance to justify on your part an earnest the work ol buRdmg a railroad to your alue aud importance of such line of communication has ever been fully con- | ceded. You say, but it has not yet reached us, aud us, and we need iinme- SENATE. MlLLCDOEVlLLE, NoV- 15, 18tHi. •Male lac-t at 10 o’clock a. in. : -y Rev.

"cre invited to seats on tbe b interests of receipts of tho old monopolies, it became a matter of prompt policy with them to meet the im- pcndmg diversions .with such concessions or improve ments asVould enable them still to control the move ments and operations of their old trade. These con cessions have been held out to tlie merchants and farmers in the proposition to transport their cotton to New Orleans from landings upon the river, at the rate of $4 50 per bale, with siniilur reductions upon the rates of plantation supplies. The difference then and now, is tnirfi Apalachicola ,,’aa the point of immediate shipment. Here the planter was offt-red the opportunity of sale or ship ment further to New Orleans or Mobile, heavier ex penses arising with extended conveyance. Little of it I venture to say ever went b>* tho planter’s direc tion beyond Apalachicola, he being content to realize the proceeds of sale at that point, in preference to the risks aud increased charges of a further shipment. Now it is proposed to deprive the planter of this privilege of selecting his market, by tho means of this direct shipment. .. . Will the aiffeienco in price there, supposdto be realized by the planter on sa!e of produce in New Or leans, compensate him for the change ? We say no. Where then the advantage ? In this pOBsibly. That supplies for plantation use may be purchased more cheaply in New Orleans than in Apalachicola. I say possibly! Tor I have not fully examined this branch of the subject, but propose doiug so in subsequent communication. But there is another route aud another market held out to the consideration and selection of your section through the agency of fa vorable discriminations ii» the rates of raiload regular rates for transportation of cotton from Thomasvill.’ to Savannah is now fixed at 90 per I... 100 lbs.

The Times’ correspondent gives : th^/pllqfjng i$* teresting particulars of the great famine in ludia: A Calcutta paper of August 10(h gays.that 20,000 paupers from the famine-stricken region have inun dated Calcutta, aud the arrivals arc reckoned at 200 a day. We have, on the highest authority, a frightful picture of the prevailing destitution, especially in Cal cutta. li would be difficult to exaggerate the magni tude and extent of the calamit3’. All the accounts 1 have seen have underrated it. It ia difficult to obtain reliable statistics as to tlie mortality*from famine, and cholera occasioned by it; but all that 1 have seen aud heard has convinced me that it has been on a scale of frightful magnitude. There are still four long dark months before us; though for a mouth past there has seemed .some slight abatement in the distress in tlie lour districts of But- ozoir, Mednapore. Sarurn and Tirahout. Over 40.0U0 non-laboring paupers were being daily relieved in tlie latter part of July; besides 7,009 who wore able.to make some return for food by working.^ ; : A week later we find 34,000 daily relieved in Batazorc and Midnapore alone; while Pcoro and Nudda add 17,000 more to the sad list. H is believed that in Cuttack the majority of the people must die before relief can reach; while 1,000 persons a day were peritdiiug at the single sta tion of Batazore. A vessel, the Tubal Caiu, which was bringing them food, was driven off by a slor.n, and compelled to throw overboard 1,500 bags of rice. But this is not all, and possibly not tbe worst. The new crop of rice will soon be obtained, but it is likely to add s new source of damage. For, lacking other food, the poor people will devour it in its uumatured and unwholesome state, and a dreadful pestilence will probably thus bo produced. Until the land can be covered with a network of railroads aud canals there seems no escape from the frequent repetition of such calamities, and that day is not far distant. Another account says: When the Ibniiffe was at its height the starving poor, we are tol3,crowded into the streets of Calcutta; and it was estimated that no fewer than 20,000 to 25,000 starving people were wandering about the capital. At Mullick Ghat, where tbe Bombay merchants raised a fund and distributed food, there were at one time 7,000 famishing applicants crowded up. They were described as placed in order upon an open space waiting for the distribution. On one sido nearly 4,- 000 Hindoos, each with a leaf platter before hip, were scattered on the wet ground, hastily partaking of 4b'e scant dole they received. On the ◦th^f ^u|de wete thousands ef famishing Mussulinen, ranged in like manner, and watching with silent and greedy eager? ness the meal of their Hindoo brethren, and counting with bitter longiugs the minutes till their time should come. ‘ ; Under the shelter of the Ghat crowded women, aud girls and children,and outside the|gates were hundreds and hundreds who had lost their cliance till the next distribution. Over all a horrible dead sileucehreigm-d. There was no chattenug or conversation; haiMly a sound, excepting when at intervals some Wreuli threw up his arms with an ejaculation to heaven, wrung from him by the unappeasable pangs of hun ger. More than this, officials wrote home description.^ of meeting dead bodies in every morning’s ride, bodies lying in the road, with the village ddgs eating them at leisure. A Calcutta journal stated that in Batacors, having^ population ol 12,060, the death* amounted to ttU^T day, aud on tlie government demhaditi^nf its offleul a report against the libel, the collector of the district replied that on the 8th of August he had 243 deaths in the city, and on the 9th, 151, aud for the week ending the 9Ui, 126 a day, tlie budics sometime* remaining unbuned for three days. 'Hie province of Orisa suffered the most severely, one paper declaring that 400/ 00 souls have perished ia maratime Orisa alone. Indeed, a telegram from ludia announces that halt the population 9i Orisa have perished in the famine; that is,fully two millions aud a half of people.

At one time, martial law stands in the way; when that obstacle is removed, there is a cavil os to the sufficiency or completeness of its withdrawal; and, when l|iai will no longer serve, it is found that Congress h^s somehow disarranged the judiem! dis tricts, so that the case cannot safely he proceeded with. And Congress itself, having-most inconsider ately meddlfed With the matter, never took pains to inquire whajt action ou its part,<f auy fc was requisite; so that now Congress, PresidtAi^ ahd Chief Justice hfe in a comple muddle ou the'subject;* efleh scfciritiig'tn* cliued to throw all responsibility^ lor the delay ou one or both of the others. The ux>shot of ail this is that the prisoner U not tried, nor likely to be: aud that, if tned, he is mor ally certain iiot to be convicted; if convicted, not to be punished. There are slIH many pjraonq who would like to h&vejhim executed; but tht-re is not one intel ligent man oil eo^th who has the faintest notion that lie ever will be. Ft>r, though Gov^i$tdfenU sola inflict capital pttnisbaient <m conspicuous Vebfli#, fticy never, at least in modern times, do so long after their rebellion was suppressed. Austria, in 1849, put to death thirteen of the Hungarian leaders betrayed into her hands by the miscreant Gorgcy; but she tried them by dnim-head court-martial directly alter their surrender, And had them all hanged und buried wituiu forty-eight hours. Had she waited eighteen months and then executed them, she would have invoked the execrations of all Christendom. Since it is notorious that Davis is not to be pun ished, why is be still kept awaiting a trial which he alone seems to desire, aud which he can by no means obtain ? What good end is subserved by persisting In a menace which still serves to irritate, though it no longer appals ? Congress, at its last session, evidently felt that it bad the President at disadvantage with regard to this prisoner—that he was an elephant which Mr. John son had too easily acquired, and was now unable either to keep or dispose of save to bis own los*. Iu the state of feeling then prevalent, this aspect ot the case was regarded by many with evident complacency. Had tbe President been a maif of high courage, we think he would have bailed the prisoner and called on Congress to demand, if that were deemed advisable, that he should be surrendered and tried, and ta prescribe tlie legal condition of such trial, since the laws as they stand seem inadequate or defective. But he should firsr, at all events, have pnblicly retraeteJ the charge of com plicity with the assassin* ef Freaideat Lincoln,aiuec . he has virtually abandoned it by not atte|n|UBJ f o fonnd an indictment tbertofi. It li neitfferydstnor wise to send forth a prisoner of State with the brand ot murder on his brow; and a naked failure to prose cute is but equivalent to the Scotch verdict, “Not nroven ” It Mr. Davis is even probably guilty oi complicity with Booth, he should long since have been indicted and tried for that crime; if he is not, be should have, ere thia. be«n explicitly freed from the —,»,.h «»n thoueh he were to be executed lo.
