Savannah, Ga., October 0.—The Jas
per Centennial is a grand success. Sa
vannah is crowded to the almost with vis
itors from several States. This morning
the procession formed on South Broad
steeet end was a mile in lengtb,composed
of nearly forty companies from Georgia,
F'orida,South Carolina, in all, aboutl,500
soldiers. The exercises at the stand were
most imposing. The stand was decorated
with the Irish, French and National
flags. The exerclsos opened
with a brief address by Captain
aicllihon, announoing the object
of tho Centennial, followed by P. W.
Meldrim, who introduced General Gor
don, the orator of the day, who arose
amid deafening oheers. His address was
the grandest effort of his life, and was
frequently applauded. At tho conclusion
of tho oration, a grand parado and review
of tho troops by General Gordon and other
distinguished officers present took place in
the City Park. A salute of nineteen
guns, followed by tho Centennial salnte,
was then fired by the Chatham Artillery.
The crowd of natives and visitors is
at least twenty-five thousand. To-night
tho city Ib ablaze with ccnntlesB lights,
from every conceivable point. The
crowdB block the streets, making locomo
tion difficult.
The Volunteers distinguished them
selves by their soldierly bearing, and the
Floyd Rifles and Mitchel Light Guards’
won, many deserved oompllmonts. The
Baldwin Bines was one of the most gal
lant companies in the review. As Gen
eral Gordon rode down the line the en
thusiasm was immense. The day has
been a grand one in Savannah’s and Geor
gia’s history, and its brilliant soenes oan
never bo forgotten. Hospitality is un
bounded to all the visitors. Maoon’a
militia have beencared for magnificently,
by their hosts.
At five o’clock a fire broke oat in a sa
loon on Broughton street, and two build
ings were consumed. A woman in the
third story, who was paralyzed with
fright, was rescued by Bird, a
gallant Charleston Artillery man.
Banquets, the theatre, calls and balls,
are the order of the night. Savannah
has done her guests and herself honor,
and crowned herself with glory.

ltry. Tho military pageant surpassed in
brilliancy and number any similar affair
in this city, the military alone, inolading
tbe Savannah eoldlery, extending over a
quarter of a mile.
The procession was composed of civil
societies, tbe Jasper Monumental Asso
ciation, Centennial Committee, headed

ry band, and a company cf federal troops,
from the barracks at Atlanta. The en
tire oily wes brilliantly and handsomely

tbe principal streets, which were tloak-
ed with people, the prooesaion reached
Madison square, the site of the proposed
monument, where a large stand had'been
erected and elaborately decorated, the
American flag being conspicuous. The
cornerstone was laid with the usual cer
emonies by Captain John MacHabon,
President of Jasper Memorial Associa
tion.
Senator Gordon was then introduced,
end delivered a grand, patriotic oration,
which was listened to with profound at
tention, and frequently greeted with
cheers. In the course of his remarks,
the distinguished speaker, in an earnest
and .forcible manner, gave vent to the
following, which elicited the most vocif
erous and prolonged applause:
Let us hope that the passions engen
dered by oar calamitous civil war and
the distrust towards the South incident
to that war, may not famish excuse
nor become potential agencies for the de

regarding tbe Indian war bas been re
ceived at headquarters to-day. Dodge
ib commended for having made a perilous
march through an infected country with
forty men, and forcing bis way through
tbe savages into camp. The Indians
have a peculiar hatred for these colored
troops, which the latter return with in
terest. Merritt’s report is orttlcised as
giving no important facts respecting the
situation on Milk River, and as being ta
ken up with laudation of various subor
dinates, the nature of whoso services he
fails to disclose, and wnom he should
at any rate commend in a future written
report. It is believed that the consoli
dated commands are by this time on

safety of that pose. Tbe report that tbe
Indians have been killing men and car
ing for women is discredited.

BEID3N VOYAGE ON THE GOOD STEAK'
SHIP CITY OF SAVANNAH.
This stannch consort of the magnificent
quartette of ocean steamers which ply bl
weekly on the line between New York
and Savannah,was gazetted to sail at 3 p.
m., Oot. 4th. Accordingly the writer pnb
in his appearance at the deck little be

But it was a difficult and even hazard
ous undertaking to thread one’s way
throngh the multitude of loaded wagons,
drays and trnoks, which thronged every
inoh of space on the quay and pier.
These were all piled np many feet high
with every conceivable description of
merchandise, and nothing could be heard
save the clattering of horses feet, the
shonts and imprecations of the drivers,
and the orders of policemen and officers,
It was a perfect pioture of a
HUMAN BEK HIVE,
where there were no drones, and all was
life, bustle and exoitement. The uni
Mated reader oan form no possible oon
ception of the amount and variety of the
cargo of one of these mammoth steam
ships. To look at the bnlk of goods on
shore, even when the vessel was two
thirds fall, it wonld appear that there was
atook sufficient for a
LABGE CITY,
comprising every artiole and convenience
known to all the departments of trade.
We sat down for two honrs an attentive
observer, onr wonder and astonishment
constantly increasing. It wonld be a fruit
less task to attempt to enter into any enu
meration of the myriads of articles that
kept arriving until the last moment before
tbe ship cast off her moorings.
To prove this, we learn from tho gen
tlemanly Purser, Mr. L. L. Yonng, that
the manifest of the “Savannah” on her
present trip shows
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND EEFABATE PACKAGES,
weighing 1,500 tons. Many of the artl
clea are light and bulky and the freight
is ascertained by measurement.
They cover apples, potatoes, cheese,
onions, bntter, flour, coffee, Bugar, corn,
molasses, lard, kerosene, fish, hams, pot
ash, starch, piokles, jellies, buckwheat,
fancy groceries, bagging, ties, shoes,
nail3, wagons, buggies, ironware, leather,
tinware, sugar kettles, pianos, coffins and
vast quantities of dry goods packed in im
mense boxes. We took the pains to ex
amine some of these, and found them dl

Gainesville, Fla., Honticello, Tallahassee,
St. Augustine, Palatka, St. Marys, Da

Waste of Petroleum.
A d.spitcU from Bradford, Pa., says: “At
a moderate estimate there are 150,COO gal
lons of petroleum running to w»3te in the
McKean county oil regions. The tanks,
with capacity for several million barrels, are
filled to oveiflawing. The markot ia over
stocked, and etill production goes on at a
rato of at least 25,000 burele a day, 6,000
morn thaa the pipe lines can handle. New
woils are going down in ail parU of the re
gion. The etrsama aro literally rivers of -il.
Largo quantities of petrolenm are absorbed
by tne earth. In marshy plasoa the ground
ia a mass of greasy mad, several inches
doep. In some parts of the region the
streams aro dammed and the oil collected in
large ponds, at places as far distant as pas
sible from derricks and buildings. These
ponds are set on fire daily Thus largo
quantities of tho waste oil is disposed of. It
is no* uncommon for fire to be communica-

What a Single Bean can Pecdccs.—Tho
history of a single bean, acoideutly planted
in a garden at Sonthbrldgo, Mass., is traced
by a newspaper correspondent, who figured
out its produce for three years. Tho beau
was planted in a rich, loamy soil, and when
gathered in tho autumn its yield, as counted,
‘was 1,515 perfectly dovolopod beans from a
8ieglo stalk. Now, if a single bean produoes
1,615 beans, and each bean produoes 1,615
more, the sum total of the second year's
product wonld bs 2,295,245. equal to 1,195
pounds, C97 quarts, or 3,890 army ration a,
equal to 18-6-8 bushels. This wonld be the
produot of the second year. Now, if we
plant this product and tbe yiold is tho same,
we bave a product of 5,268,(153,890.645 beans,
eqnal to 1,371,830 tons or42,871,572 bushels,
01513,756,063 801(11613’ rations. This third
planting would give the steamship Great
Eastern ninety-two full freights.’ Few
beans, however, start so well as this one did.

and a3 many openings into the interior
of the ship. The work went on like
magic, immense piles of merchandise
disappearing but to be replaced by other
arrivals from the city. But when it was
near six o’clock and the fonr vast stories
of the vessel wero almost crammed full,
the Captain gave tbe signal to desist, at
bait the loaded wagons continued to ar
rive. In a trice tho gangways were
hauled ashore, tho ports closed, the bell
tapped, tho engine began to move and
slowly the majc3tio craft baoked gently
•into tbe crowded stream. Daring all this
time the Captain and Agent Yonge had
been aotivcly at work on shore, directing,
. superintending and managing eveiy thing.
Soon the vast mass was nnder fall head

ful bay, threading its way deftly through
the hundreds of moving crafts which
plied to and fro in every direction. Next

of several fortifications were passed, then
Staten Island, the quarantine ststf'iUB
and lastly, Sandy Hook. When dark
ness closed atonnd, the ship was in
blue water, and gently rising and falling
with tbe “long swell” whioh ever agitates

enced seamen and sterling gentlemen.
Their names are as follows: Captain, F.

CAPTAIN MALLOBY
is a noble epeoimen of a true gentleman
and honest unassuming Jack tar. He
has pursued a seafaring life for forty
years, beginning at a tender age, and
hss sailed around tho world many times.
In all that period not once has he en
countered shipwreck. This Is certainly
an extraordinary record. No commander,
while rigid in the disoharge or his every
duty and constantly watchful over the
safety of his ship, was ever more courte
ous, genial and obliging than Captain
Mallory. The Ooean Steamship Com
pany acd the pnblio in seouring the ser-
vicc-s of so popular and efficient a gentle
man are most foitnnate.

A HERCULEAN FEAT.
From Capt. Mallory we learn that the
“Oity of Savannah” arrived at her dock
in New York on Friday morning, October
4th, with a cargo of 3,500 balea of cotton.
This was all discharged and a fall mis
cellaneous return freight taken in by six
o’clock the next day. The latter we
have described. When has this been
ever beaten by any captain or any ship?
It is a noteworthy fact that since the es
tablishment of this line not one of the nn-
merous voyages of its several ships has
been otherwise than profitable. What a
convenience to onr people and State.
CUB PASSENGER LIST

covering every walk and rank in life,
and even embracing a goodly number of
the demi munda, who frequent the lowest
purlieus cf vice and infamy. These
creatures, last to all sense of modesty
micglod freely with the ship’s company
from forecastle to quarter-deok, bnt were
rigidly required to behave themselves.
F:rst-clas3 passengers paying full fare,
it waa impossible to recognize them until
after th? railing of the ship. It was re-
fresning 10 see how the genuine ladies
avoided these fallen creatures, holding
their skirts aloof from them aa though
tbs mere touch was contamination. Nor
did they dare thrust themselves into the
presence, bet kept aloof. Deepas Hades
is tho gulf that separates them. But
a! ip, how much of the degradation of
this class is duo to tho treaohery of the

AMONG THE GENTLEMEN
we weie h-pp; to recognize several old

who, with his lovely wife and a bright little

And it Affords a mpumfsi pleasure a: least

belt of country adjacent to tbe sea coast
from Obatham to the St. Mary's was the fa

witnessed in the palmiest days of “Memo

Another noledjpassenger was
KB. W. P. EASTMAN, ■
the popular founder and patron of the flonr-
ishieg town that bears his name on the Ma
con and Brunswick Railroad. This gentle
man ia possessed of a large heart and noble
impnlaos, and is doing a grest work for that
section of the Slate. For nearly ten years
he has bsen thoroughly identified with it in
interest and feeling. Who does not remem
ber the numeroua Sunday School he brought
down to Macon on one of onr May excur

hundred such men to oome from the North

BEY. JOHN SIMMONS.
This moat worthy gentleman who, as “West

SABBATH ON THE OCEAN.
The monotony of z Sunday at sea was
agreeably and profitably broken by an excel
lent sermon from Mr. Simmons, whioh was
delivered in the main saloon at 11 a. m. His
text was, “God is love,” and unlike the cus
tom of his brethren the preacher read a
manuscript discourse replete witb good sense
and fine thoughts.
We could but see the effect of these relig
ions services in solemnizing the deportment
of the entire ship’s company, and cheoking
their frivolous amusements.
In the ovening we bad a regular little

Apropos of the Jasper Centennial.
—We clip the following from the Newn
We were shown yesterday arelioofthe
bloody fight on the 9th of October, 1779,
at the Spring Hill redoubt. It is a solid
elver gorget, an ornament shaped like a
half moon, and worn on the breast in for
mer days by officers when on dnty. This
relio was worn by Lieutenant Alexander
Home, who fell on that day, and it was
taken from his body and has since been
an heirloom in tbe family, and is now tha
property of Mr. John A Hume,of George
town, S. C. White’s Historical Colleo-
tions, speaking of the oolors whioh were
presented to the Second Sonth Carolina
Regiment by Mrs. Elliot, eayr: “Her
address on the occasion oonoluded thus
*1 make not the least donbt, under
heaven’s protection, yon will stand
by these colors ■ so long as they
wave in the air of liberty.’ In reply
promise was made (hat they should be
honorably supported and never be tar
nished by the Second Regiment. This
engagement was literally fulfilled. Three
years after they were planted on the Brit
ish lines at Savannah—onoe by Lieuten
ant Bosh, who was immediately killed.
Lieutenant Home, in the aot of again
placing them in position, was shot down,
and Lieutenant Gray in snpporting them
received a mortal wound, and while Jas
per was in the act of replacing them he
received a death Bhot.” On the gorget
is engraved arms, swords and flsgB. sur
mounted by a liberty cap, and under
neath is the insoription, , ‘EHertas. Por
tion Ftfa." On the inner sides are the
initials “A. H., 1776,” evldently'soratoh-
ed in by the gallant hero. From the ao-
connt in White’s work tout brave soldiers
lost their lives in protecting the oolors
and maintaining the pledge of the regi
ment. This interesting relio of the siege
of Savannah will be placed on exhibition
at Mr. Hamilton’s jewelry store.
Fbou the same paper we learn this
following!
Ool. H. H. Jones, of the Maoon Tele
graph, who has bsen North on a visit,
reached here yesterday from New York
by the steamship City of Savannah. He
will remain here daring the Centennial.
The Savannah Recorder also comes to
tbe front witb a relio, interesting from
ssociation:
We saw this morning, in the office of
P. W. Meldrim, Esq., two sleeve buttons
made of conch ahells, numbering two hun
dred and eighteen, which have a histori
cal remembrance connected with them
which at this time is of more than pass
ing interest. They were picked np at
Bermuda Island by Richard Blond, a
college mate of Oglethorpe, who visited
the new world with him. They were
then taken to London, and made into
■hoebnckles at a cost of £500. Ogle
thorpe presented them to Sir Richard
Pexoiral Bland as a bridal present, in
exchange for a pair of diamond bnoklss
whioh the latter personage wore. Sir
Richard Percivsl Bland wore the shell
buckles at the laying of the first oorner-
stone of Christ Church in this oity, and
gave them to Caroline Rosina Maria
Bland, who married Edward Courtney.
The latter’s lineal descendant is now
Mrs. Smith, of tnis city, who is seventy-
three years of age. She brought them to
the office of P. W, Meldrim, Esq,, for
exhibition as centennial relios.
The Columbus Enquirer, speaking of
the late impeachment trial, sayst
Treasurer Hcnftoi has been sequitled
op all the articles, bat he t-scuped im-
peachmsnt on the p-irciprl ones by only
two votes. It is reported that the lobby
iefloenoe by distinguished men in various
Beotions of the State was very strong.
Family influence too was pressing. We
do eoS suppose there will be any resign
mg, though no donbt it would be best
for tho Stato were he to do so. One
thing has been effected by the trial, and
that is he will be more careful about the
State’s funds than before, and be care
ful how he permits his bondsmen to fat
ten on the interest of the State’s deposits
The Treasurer has too narrowly escaped
to be oaught again.
We invade the Sparta Ishmailite'altei-
ritory, which is anything bnt a desert,
for this positive declaration:
It is a matter of regret that some of
onr Southern public men are so prone to
refer, in tones of pleading pathos, to the
faet that they were “union” men down to
the inception of the war. There can be bn.
one motive for these pitiful exhibitions of
intercessory ponitenoe, and that is a bad
one. The moment a Southern man be
gins to ple-d to be again taken into fa
vor by the Northern people or any other
people on earth, he becomes a poor, piti
ful, cringing parasite. No man is worthy
of oonfide&ce who can, under any circum
stances, beg for it. We have an undying,
unmitigated, inexpressible contempt for
any Southern man who apologises for the
part which the South took in the late
war for independence. The Yankees
ought to spit upon all such abject and
slavish recreants to those principles
whioh are high in the estimation of hon
orable men, the world over.
Evening Jfeiet:
Capitalists should interview Professor
Bibikoy, who has recently discovered in
exhaustible beds of brown ooal within 16
miles of Augusta. It is aa good as any
other cool for heating purposes, and the
Protestor says there are several millions
of tons in the mine. Avery little capi
tal Is needed to fully develop the im
mense wealth at our very doors. This is
no myth. Twelve hundred ponnds of
this coal was brought into the oity to
day, and specimens can be seen at nearly
every office in town. It ia mined as eas
ily as red olay, and reqnires no blasting.
The Georgia Road will test it this week,
and to-morrow’s issue of the Newt will
b9 worked off by steam generated by
this coal. We have a fine specimen at
this office.
Columbus limeet We regret to learn
from the Union Springs Herald of the
death of Miss Weems at that place, on
Saturday, after a long illness. This es
timable yonng lady was the daughter of
Major Locke Weems, of the 15th Ala
bama regiment, and is most deeply
monrned by a large cirole of relatives
and friends. In August last, at a reun
ion of the 15th Alabama regiment at Blue
springs, she was adopted as the daughter
of the regiment, and moat appropriately
the pall bearers at her funeral were all
members of that regiment. Tbeofflaia-
ting mir.ister, Rev. Dr. B. B. Waddell,
of the Episcopal chnrch, was also a cap
tain in the 15;h Alabama.
Augusta Evening Ucws: Major Oxme,
of the Savannah Recorder, persistently
pnts forth the name of Col. W. T.
Thompson, of the Morning News, for Con
gress from the First District, while some
of the weekly papers there are just as
persistent in patting forth tho claims of
the gallant Major for the same position.
It is seldom we witness suoh magnanimi
ty on the part of the brethren.
Spaeta Jshnialite: It isn’t singular that
such a man as Jefferson Davis should
have enemies even in the Sonth. Vain
and ambitions men aro angered by his
superior excellenoies. Hia very great
ness affronts them. They resent a su
periority which they are not manly
enough to admit They sneer at a cour
age that aotually grew greater in the
midst of danger, and that the terrors of
impending ruin only sublimated. He
was better and braver and truer than his
purpose, and they cannot forgive
him for it. His greatness in all that
dignifies man in the presence of his fel
low men. is a standing menace to their
littleness; and nnder the painful and
handlisting comparison, they grow an
gry and revengeful. Their agent in a
fateful war, be wsb braver and more de
voted than they—as truthful history will
seme day record. They hate the man
whose simple, uuaffeoted, unconquerable
hero-life towers above them like the
Alps above the humble Alpine village at
its base. It may be painful to them to
live in the shadow of Mr. Davis’s great-
near; bnt the record has been made np,
and history allows no “rebate.”
Kansas
Is still “bleeding Kansas”—bleeding
other people indastrionBly. Her wbjb
inoline to those of Mexico, but go far
ahead of them. Mexico stops and plun
ders stage coaches, bnt Kapsaa applies
the same methods to throngh trains.
The bandits of Mexico nsnally run five
ia a drove, but Texas organizes by the
Bcore—stops the heaviest trans-continen
tal trains and lifts $50,000 from tho ex
press safes at a single turn of the key.
Mexico, it must be admitted, has consid
erably the advantage of the United States
in respect to tho Bafety of the pnblio
roads. The Indians lift the scalp, and
then “free Kansas” comes in to lift the
money in tbe most effloaoious manner
imaginable.
We are epeakisg now after the manner
of men—men of high morals and only a
little lower than the angels. It is quite
true, as we suppose, that only a small
part of ths Kansas people are oonoerned
in these frequent and extensive highway
robberies; but, than, they are committed
in Kansas, and therefore the whole of
Kansas is responsible for them; and not
only for them, bnt also for all the rob-
beries they hod the opportunity to com'
mitbnt failed, by reason of natural sloth
and imbecility.
This is tho rule applied to the Southern
States by those righteous politicians,
and of coarse It mast be a right one.
For when an nnluoky negro meets with a
mishap here; not only the State where it
happens, bat the whole eleven, are held
responsible; and zieoe so vast an area
must abound in opportunities to do the
same thing, they multiply the one act by
every conceivable opportunity, and in
that way work np a heavy debt and a
frightful character fores.
Considering, therefore,the great extent
of the North and West and the numerous
robberies in the small part of them called
Kansas, we should say that there hav-
baen by this rule of judgment; ten thouce
and such mail robberies within a twelve
month, amounting in gross to hundreds
of million; and furnishing pretty steady
employment for 200,000 bandits. This is
the way to pile on tbe agony and throw a
people beyond the pale of civilization.
Now,. speaking more seriously, sup
pose euoh a thing as the performanoe
In Kansas telegraphed to-day, or any
other one ot the many like it, Bhonld
have happened in Georgia, or in any
other one of these barbarous Southern
States, what would have been done? The
North would have gone into spurns of
indignation. Public meetings would
have oalled on the Secretary of War to
oover the country with United States
troops and to declare martial law. It
wonld have been “another rebellion,”
demanding instant and severe retribu
tion on the entire people. The thun
ders of Conkling and Bonkling and
Donkling would have reverberated from
the Aristook to the Rocky Monntains.
But they won’t reverberate now. These
things, though they happen often, and
are exceedingly objectionable, after ail
constitute only mysterious and unao'
countable episodes in ths live3 of a high
moral people. Indeed,it may even be said
that they were prompted by that highly
wrought devotion to freedom and tbe
cease of oppressed hamanity whioh
longs to make Kansas tne home ot the
untutored African fiaeing from Southern
cruelty. It may well bo that they were
only colleo ting funds, in a rather peremp
tory manner, for the Mississippi refugees.
The moral effect of an aotion depends
much on the light in which yon view it,
and how many times yon multiply it.

l 1 HztixoaY u OF a Wbegk—In Mobile Ray
last Tuesday: The tipani&h brig Deligente
was wrecked while coming over the lower
bar in charge of pilot Ned Dorgen. The dis
aster seems to have been the result of an
attempt to go about with a strong head wind.
The pilot asked tho captain if his ship work
ed easy, and receiving on adimative answer,
took the necessary maneuvres, but she mis
sed h6r stays and wtnt ashore. When the
captain saw tbe loss of tbe vessel was inevi
table, he drew a revolver and fired three
shots at Dorgen, who immediately jumped
overboard, followed by the irate captain. A
sailor also threw himself into the bay to
assist his superior ohicar, but both were
drowned. Dorgen and nine sailors swam
ashore safely.
BiLtooN Wreck..—While the friends of -
Prof. Wise and the man who ascended with

resulted in the death of both. In Prof.
Wise’s oase the air ship soared away, was
lost to right, and heard from no more. The
Ban Francisco balloon beoome unmanageable
and burst, and the men woro thrown violent
ly to the ground. It was dearly a hazardous
undertaking *for them to atari, nnder tbe
circumstances, for tirey had been warned of
the balloon’s unsafe condition andtlutthe
weather was tempestuous. Wise’s fate re
mains a mystery. He was an aeronaut of
experience; bat how many expert balloonists
have met death within a a few years!
