MARTIAL LAW.
Affair* lu the Snl>-Dl>trlrt.
The Chronicle and Sentinel of yestcr
day *ays: “We learn that the reign of
terror which has been inaugurated in
Warren has extended to other counties
of the sub-district. Taliaferro and Glass
cock are next upon the list for decima
tion, in order that the parties who killed
Darden and Adkins, or who have been
concerned in any “outrage'' mny be dis
covered and arrested.
“We have been informed that two
men in Taliaferro county, both of whom
were named Meadows, have been arrest
ed by the soldiers and confined. The
charge against the parties was that they
had threatened some time since to shoot
a man named Rattle, who had in some
way made himself obnoxious.
“The impression of horses had not yet
commenced in Warrenton, but is ex
pected daily to begin. At Barnett, the
headquarters of the commandant of the
District, Maj. Kline, the infantry sol
diers have already begun the work 'of
transforming themselves into cavalry.
Under orders from their officers the eol
diers have impressed u good many ani
mals from the people living at and
around the station, and have them now
in the camp ol the detachment.
“It is not known with certainty in
what direction these mounted men ure in
tended to operate, but Taliaferro and
Glasscock counties are supposed to be
the objective points of the cavalry."
Several of the most respectable citi/.ens
of Warren county visited Go mack, on
Wednesday, and Imul an interview with
Major Kline, commandant of the Sub-
District. He promised that the two pris
oners, Hill and Ivy, who wuro arrested
by the military on Sunday night, and con
fined in jail at Warrenton, should have
their cases investigated as soon ns possi
ble, but refused to rolease them on bail.
The delegation then asked of Major K line,
in the name and behalf of the citizens of
Warren county, that ho would cause a
thorough and impartial examination to
be made in the acts of the military sheriff
of Warren, Chap. Norris, as they assur
ed him that abundant, testimony could be
obtained to show that lie was entirely un
fit to fill the position.
He also promised to attend at once to
the matter, ami a short time after with a
captain and eight men gtton tho train
and wen' W renton. Tho prisoners
were to />t out of jail and ex
amined '.. y - Retort, one es Bul
lock’s Notaries. 'I lie l hronicle and Sen
tinel further learns tha* it has certnlnly
boon decided to ‘remove Judge Garnett
Andrews from bis position ns Judge of
tho Superior Court in the circuit of
which Warren and most of the other
counties which have boon placed under
martial law forms a part.
It is believed that his successor will be
one Boyd, a resident of Lincoln county,
n kinsman and son-in-law of State Senator
Ham McWhorter, and loyal henchman of
ilia Exprcaslency. Boyd is a farmer by
profusion, and is said to know no more
of law than a hog does of heaven, or Bul
lock does of honor or honesty.
General Terry replied to a deputation
of citizens from Warren county, seeking
the release of Hill and Ivy, “that when
uien are apprehended on a charge of
murder, no hail would be allowed to be
taken.”

Report of the Jail Committee Rela
tive to the Removal of the Jail to a
More Suitable location.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council :
Gentlembx—Your Committee to whom was
referred the question of removing the jail
having bad the same under consideration, beg
leave respectfully to report as follows :
The present jail building was erected in the
year 1845 on a site at that time far removed
from the habitable portion of Savannah. Since
then the little town has grown into a flourish
ing city, with its population increased four
fold, and its limits extended to where, not very
long ago, nothing was seen but vast plantations
of pine, oak and magnolia; so that the ja.il*
once the centre of a pine barren, now stands in
the most attractive and rapidly improving part
of Savannah, and in that direction alone in
which she can extend—a barrier in the path of
herprogrejs-
The question of removal is no new one. It
has been agitated again and again, and now
presents itself with a force of emphasis and
argument impossible to resist. At the last term
of the Superior Court of this county, the first
panel of the Grand Jury made the following
presentment with reference to it:
/'The dilapidated and wretchedly con
structed jail should be removed at the earliest
practicable moment, and another edifice be
erected on a more eligible site, and with a
higher reg.trd for the principles of humanity.
The ceils are untenable, and the brick, wood
and tin work about the building need imme
diate repuirfor the safe keeping of the pris
oner.' ; locks are very poor, aod we recommend
that immediate steps be taken to either the
building of anew jail or repairing of the old/'
Sueh a declaratian as this from so high and
respectable a source, demands our serious con
sideration, and your Committee having, in the
discharge of their duty, periodically and thor
oughly examined tho premises, endorse fully
the report of the gentlemen of the Grand Jury.
The building is miserably insecure, and its in
ternal Arrangements are a disgrace to our
humanity and civilization, and were it not for
the ceaseless watchfulness and care of Mr
Waring Hussell. the jailor, to whom, with his
subordinates, too much praise cannot be award
ed, it would become every summer the hot bed
of malignant disease.
The alternate recommendation of the Grand
Jury, that the iail be repaired, is not for a mo
ment to be entertaineJ, for the reason that
every consideration of seif interest, health and
honor, demand its removal, besides which the
cost of making sujh repairs os are absolutely
needed would be considerable, tnd the money
go far towards constructing anew edifice,
Wot the least of the many reasons that com
mand respectful attention is the fact that the
juil stands in the immediate vicinity of the
Park, and tho grim wails of the prison frown
down upon our beautiful promenade, where
the ladies and children congregate; upon the
monument to tho Count Puli ki, whose marble
purity is presented in painful contrast; and
upon the old parade ground, in which the noble
women, wncse hearts are tho records of brave
deeds, propose to raise a shaft to the memory
of our dead heroes; and the painful and de
moralizing spectacle of men in manacles and
rags going to their trial or punishment, or re
turning to their cells, is daily presented to the
sight of the visitors to Forsyth Place, many of
whom, especially at this season of the year, are
strangers.
There can be no doubt upon tho mind of any
reasonable man that the position of the jail isn
serious obstacle to the extension of the city’s
limits, citizens being unwilling to build in the
close neighborhood of this penal establishment,
which is liable at any time during the hot sea
son to become a laz.ir house. Besides which
the lot owners who purchased tho adjacent
grounds to the jail did ho upon the understand
ing, either e&pres ed or implied, that the ob
jectionable structure should be torn down
within a reasonuole lime. Once let it be re
moved. and we shall soon see dwellings spring
ing up on every side, aud a wonderful impetus
given to the work of improvement.
The arguments, then, for removal are, in
brief: Firrt. It is insecure. Second. It is a
disgrace to a humane community. Third. It
is distant from ttiff Court noun u. Fa .>.
Court, necessitating tho parading of offenders
through the public streets; aud. Fourthly. Its
presont location is a serious obstacle to the
further improvement of our city, and keeps
down the value of property in that part, of Sa
vannah where otherwise lots would fotch tho
largest prices. The only objection that could
possibly be urged would be one of expense, and
your Committee are prepared to show that the
sum of $14,340 is now available toward! the con
struction of n new and suitable jail. There are
ten lots included in the jail block, of which
five (5) front on Whitaker and five (5) on Bar
nard street. The Southern lot on Whitaker
street was sold about a year ago for the sum of
$1,500. The remaining nine lots ought cer
tainly, in tho aggregate, to realize S3O 000. Os
this sum twenty per cent, would be paid down
in cash, giving tho city, to begin with, $6,000,
Ihe estimate made as to the materials of the
jail, including outbuildings aud walls, is oue
m ; !lion of brick, at least, which, at $8 per thou
sand, would give SB,OOO the Ordinary
has on hand a county fund, & be devoted to the
building of anew jail, of $8,340. Altogether,
then, we have the sum of $22,340, of which
$14,340 is now available. But even shotßd it
be necessary to issue bonds for this purpose, let
it not be forgotten that, in the immediate vi
cinity of the jail, there are 36 lots belonging
to the city, whose value, in the opinion of per
haps the ablest expert in suoh matters that we
have, would be increased twenty-five per cent.,
and the enhanced value of property anl addi
tional revenue derived from taxation on im
provements would be a handsome return on
any sum required for the removal of the old
and the construction of anew jail.
As to the situation of the new jail, your Com
mittee have no hesitation in recommending
the southern half of the police barrack lot as
the very best that could be selected. This
large tract of land is lying idle, it belongs to the
city, and ur on its northern extremity will soon
be finished the police quarters and the Re
corder’s Court. That your honorable body may
fully appreciate the advantages of this site,
your Committee beg leave to call y.»ur atten
tion to a plan hereto attached, for which they
are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. John B.
Hogg, tho City Surveyor, by which it will be
seen that them is a front of 223 feet, (not in
cluding the police stable, 100 feet long, which
could be easily removed), and a width of 110
feet on Habersham street, and a length of 602
feet and 6 inches on Perry street lane; giving
a space extensive enough for a large jail and
workhouse, with ample room for suoh addi
tions as the future may require Therefore,
for the reasons given, your Committee respect
fully report in favor of removing the old jail
and the building of anew, substantial structure
on the property designated in the plan at
