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.” UENERAX. NEWS. The American bishops object to the dogma of l’apal infullihiiy on the ground that it will check proselytism among the Protestants. A destructive tire took place in Indian apolis on Wednesday. Amount of dam ages not given, but the insurance on tho buildings destroyed amounts to SIOO,OOO. By cable we have the announcement that Papal infallibility is doomed. It is now surmised that an immense prepon derance of the Council’s strength is against the dogma. George W. Childs, Esq , of the Phila delphia Public Ledger, and lady, have accepted the invitation of General Grant, and will be his guests for several days during the present week. A bill has been introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives by Mr. Ward, of the reform delegation from Cincinnati, prohibiting the reading of the Bible or singing of hymns in tho public schools. A French woman has sued a San Francis can for SIO,OOO damages, on the ground that he induced her to leave her native country ns governess of his children, and turned her out of doors upon her arrival in California. Advices from Cinco Vt’las, Cuba, state a fight took place in that district in which the insurgents lust forty eight men killed. The English brig Chobuck, laden with sugar, Was been wrecked at sea, off Cape Antonio. All hands were saved. The London Skating Club spent $2,000 in prepating a basin in Regent's Park, but the morning after it was first filled, the expectant members, gathered to look at the ice, found that the water had drnin* ed entirely away. The bed proved to be gravel, and not, as jwas supposed, Lon don clay. A bill was introduced in the House on Thursday, and was referred, providing for the completion of the Charleston Custom Heuee. ; M, Victor Noir, whose ud fate at prti ent is exciting all Paris, ie in reality of Hebrew decent, his real name being Sol omon. Ho was quite a young man, be ing only 22 years of age, but had already achieved an excellent reputation as a journalist. He was not a man of means, but on the contrary was quite poor. In person he was of a fine, rather large, and commanding figure, noble and intellectu al cast of countenance, and well known in Paris as a gentleman and a man of hoDor. A peculiar though melancholy interest is attached to bis death by the tact that in eight days he was to have married a young and beautiful girl of but 1C years of age, with a d f owry of 50,000 francs. A petition signed by a number of citi zens of Massachusetts has been forwarded to Representative Cox, of New York, with the request that lie submit it to Con gress. The petitioners pray that their State be remanded to a territorial govern ment for its treasonable course in 1842, its unrepublican denying the right of suf frage to those who cannot read and write, and for its connection with the Hartford Convention. Mr Cox means to present the petition as requestod by its signers. At Elkhart, Indiana, on Tuesday morn ing, Edward Russel entered the cilice of the railroad blacksmith shop and shot Wm. A. Williams, foreman, killing him almost instantly. Illicit intercourse be tween Williams and Russel’s wifowasthe cause of the tragody. There is a social excitement in Wash ington again. Don Emiliano Lopez went to one of Fish’s receptions, it seems, in company with Gen. McMahon, our late Minister to Paraguay, and to this Garcia, the Argentine Minister, or rather his ac complished lady, has entered a protest. It is understood that Senor Garcia, through Ins lady, has complained to Secretary Fish that Lopez’s presence was an insult to a recognized Minister of the Argentine Confederation. What Mr. Fish answered to this is not known, but the fact of' bucli a complaint having been made lias occasioned a regular sensation in social circles. The ladies are talking about the inntter very energetically, dis cussing both sides of the question with an animation that only female gossips can develop. Two sets of Republican senators were importuning tho President on Thursday —one to get him to revoke General Ter ry’s action in examining into tho qualifi cations of the members of the Georgia Legislature, and tho other to induce him to give it his decided approval. Grant replied that he had left the entire matter to General Terry's discretion, and would not interfere. Special Notices. GEORGIA STATE LOTTERY! OFFICIAL DRAWlNG—Jiwtuav 21,1870.

[oFEICAI..] 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 tached, without delay JOHN 0.
