j . SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN. SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN SAVANNAH; [THIBSDAI mOBNlHCt ItRl Abolikliiuont of tbe United States Purchasing' Agency. Tbe last mail brought Col. T. P. Robb, tbe United States Treasury Purchasing Agent of this District, orders frcm the Treasury Depart ment to close bis business, as the offlce of Purchasing Agents has been abolished by the President. The above intelligence by many will be received with great satisfaction, while others will consider it a great misfortune. Through the indefatigable efforts of Col. Robb, who has per sonally exerted himself to secur* and forward cotton from remote distrlots in the interior,a great deal of this valuable staple has been brought to market, which, If lelt to private enterprise, could Dot have found its way into market for months. Few people except those residing in the section of country trkversed by the two opposing armies, can form any idea of the obstacles that beset merchants and planters bolding cotton, in the way of transportation. Tbe country for miles around is destitute ©f any kind of conveyance, evory horse and mule having been “confiscated” by the army as they passed through the country. As Colonel T. P. Robb is now on his way to Wash ington, we feel that there can be no impropriety in reverting to his career while in Georgia as a representative of that much abused government bureau known as the United States Treasury De partment. At the time Colonel Robb arrived in Savannah he found the old business men of this city, as well as those of Augusta, in n very despondent mood. They looked upon the dark side of the picture, and to them the future was full of gloom- We were at that time in a state of terrible sus pense, actualjy pining away with morbid discon tent, waiting and watohiDg every action of Gov- ernmentio see what steps might betaken in re lation to the great and vital question now agita ting tbe entire South, viz: Cotton. Without delay, Colonel Robb urged the planters and merchants to commence building flat boats, by which meant they eould transport their cot ton to market, while be, aided by the military authorities, lent them every aid in the way ol land transportation. The energy end determination oi Col. Robb soon began to manifest itself in various places for the discour aged planters, who were quite willing to give Government its one-fourth, were infused with hope and new life, and soon began to work in good earnest. Since the establishment of Col. Robb's office in May, he hae bad 260,000 bales of cotton reported to him, and up to the time of the discontinuance of the Purchasing A gency he was daily iu receipt of intelligence of tbe whereabouts of cotton, and accompanied with requests to aki iu its remov al to market. The sudden abolish ment of the Purchasing Agency will have tbe effect to delay the shipment o:' cotton to Northern and European markets. Col. Robb had made ar rangements to have 150,000 bales in Savannah within sixty days from toe time the Agency discontinued. By the 15th of November Col. Robb would have been able tn secure the one fourth of the 250,000,thqs throwing into the lap of the U S. Treasury the enormous sum of ten mil lion* of dollar*, aLd all this vast amount realized within 6ix months after his appointment. Col- Robb was no donbt instrumental in oh taming the release of the railroads in Georgia from the control of the military powers, by his urgent appeals to thfe authorities at Waalvington, representing the absolute necessity for their be ing turned over to the various corporations.— There is one trait that Col. Robb has revealed to a remarkable degree, and that is his sterling in tegrity'knd strict scrupulousness in dealing with our people. Iu this degenerate age of mad am bition and reckless speculation, it is really re freshing to come across a genuine, whole-souled, honest man, particularly one who deals exten sively in the great Southern staple, the all-pow- ertul and demoralizing agent known as—cotton. The following account which we copy from tbe Augusta Chronicle, pays a deserved tribute to the upright character and energy of Col. Robb,which will be heartily endorsed by those of our citizens who have transacted-business with the Colonel. We only hope that an officer who has so un ostentatiously proved his irreproachable char acter will soon be entrusted with some respon sible position in another government depart ment. An unscrupulous eetton speculator bad the temerity to approach Col. liobb in Augus ta when he accidentally learned that a private unofficial telegram had been sent to him in forming him of tbe removal of the govern ment tax of and offered him $ld0 f 000 for the exclusive use of tbe intelligence for a few hours. Wo need hardly say that the bribe was indignantly rejected, and the insolent spec ulator had fo apologize for the insult. The Cotton Meeting.—There was quite a large meeting of cotton owners at tbe ware house of Messrs. J. B. Walker &. Sons, yes terday afternoon. Colonel Robb, the U. S. Treasury agent, was present on the occasion. .Just before the time appointed he received a dispatch from the agency in Savannah, which suited that the President had issued a Procla mation suspending the one-fourth tax on Cot ton, which-was laid on July 2, 1864, by an act of Congress. This news he imparted to the gentlemen who had assembled to learn from him officially what the requirements of the Government were from them. The Colonel stated frankly to the gentle men present that U\is news had not been re ceived officially by him, and could not be act ed upon as wholly correct; still, be said he would suspend further operations tintil he him self received official dispatches from Washing ton direct. Of oourse it was not necessary for him to say anything further to the gentlemon assembled iu regard to the heretofore adopted plans of the G overament. Bat he stated that when he was officially advised of the future plans of the Washington autboriGcnwjfcgard to the disposi- Hofi eftne cotton, information would be officially znade public. Some little time was spent ia pleasant sonrer- sation. AH present appeared highly gratified with the news. And when the meeting broke up every one left in the best of humor. We will bear take occasion to state that Col. Robb deserves the hearty thanks of the entire cot ton holding portion oi the community for the course pursued by him in this whole matter.— The news he imparted was not officially re ceived by bim. He was not compelled in the discharge of his official duties to make if known. Had he seen fit to use it for his own purpoee, or allowed others to have done so, none would have been the wiser and he could have reaped a large pecuniary benefit therefrom. But he sttyr proper to do Otherwise. Ho pursued a course which c very high-minded, honorable man will commend him for adopting. We ere glad to record tbe fact that he has done so.— CWicfe, 16tf., f Coral ■milden.

We hare been banded by an oflb er the follow ing slip cut from a recent issue of ibe Wasbington Chronicle. It gives urt pleasure to know that we have so noble and trr ly magnanimous a min ister of the Gospel labo ring in our midst, and we trust some suitable ppblic expression will be made by our gallant 1 soldiers when their pay-day arrives, to show j to this generous Priest that brave men fully appreciate such unex- au pled and praesewortbjy v aotion towards their abused and suffering comrades while they were enduring the barbarities of Andepsonville. God bless and preserve Father Whalen, and may he live to resp the rich harvfcst of a well spent life devoted to tbe cause of Christian liberty. Noblb Action —Albert A. Walker, commissa ry sergeant of the 16th Connecticut volunteers, who has just returned from tbe rebel prison at . j :_r tV.C a Catholic priest, named Whalen, of Savannah, visited tbe prisoners daity in person when min isters of other denominations deserted them.— This priest was unusually kind to them, convers ed freely, and told them fhat if he could hare bis way he wonld have them all released. At one time this kind-hearted man distributed to the men $2,700 in Confederate money, arid one day fast winter be laid opt $400 iu geld of his own money, for flour for the prisoners, which was baked into bread in the hospital and distri buted among our tarnished soldiers. Such deeds are worthy of record. ; [For the Savannah Republican. Judge T. P. Bundle*. It gives us pleasure to i*ecord the universal sat isfaction which this competent officer has given to the bar and the public (by his able and success ful administration of the complicated and delicate duties of his office. Judge Itundlet has proven himself well worthy of tb$ position he held under the Government, and the! farorabie^gxpressions of opinion which we hajre heard in the public thorough fares and private parlors of the city, concerning the jierformonce of his duties, are alike flattering to his judgment and abilities. In the retirement of tbe Jridge to more secluded pursuits, we wish him all the success which should follow his energetic and industrious habits. Citizens. Arrival ef the Nevada. The Nevada, from Naw York 24th, arrived at her dock at a lata hour la«t evening, bringing the Uni tod States mails and quite a large camber of pasiengers. Her news, which Is two days later than the Chase, is unimportant, and oar i present a meagre appearance. We give tbe Geld and Cotton markets in another column, and a list of pardoned Rebels. Beyond the horrible de tails of another calamity on the Ohio and Mis sissippi Rail Road and the President’s Proclama tion declaring the removal of the blockade there is nothing of speoial importance to chronicle. TiiaNK8.—We are under great obligations to H. Brodnack, Esq., of Augusta, who ar rived in the Nevada, for copies of New York papers of the 24 th, which he very kindly fur nished us at a late hour last evening, and at considerable personal inconvenience.

Among the new applications to the President tor pardon are the following rebel officers: Brig adier Generals J M Barton, J \Y Frazer, T B Smith. W L Cabell, M D Corse, G W Gordon, Eppa Hanghn, J 11 Jones, J 8 Marmaduke and I) M DuBotte. Cabell’s resignation was accepted before he entered tbe rebsl service. John R Tucker, commodoreo the rebel navy, and the following civilians have been added to the list of applications since yesterday : J G Hunter and Richard Hawes, of Kentucky; Solomon F A Converse, Andrew Johnston, Edward McCor mick and Blair Bur well, of Virginia: Eusti e Surget, of Louisiana ; Ft F Thomason and David Block, of Arkansas; Wm M Yoorhies, R G Fain and G B Parmer, of Tennessee; Thos W Fleming and F Y Clark, of Georgia: J W M Harris, of Mississippi, and B T Pinckney and 1) J Chand ler, ofMaiyland. No prisoners of war above fhe rpnk of cap tain are being released at present. The nu merous applications for pardon from prisoners and civilians are filed away for future action, and none bnt exceptional cases immediately granted.* The President evidently thinks men who have resisted the lawfnl authority of the Government for four years can afford to wait few weeks or months for pardon. Having rushed into the matter hurriedly they will pro bably be allowed to repeut at leisure. Additional List of Pardoned Southerners. In addition to those heretofore mentioned,the following persons have applied for and received the President’s pardon, under his proclamation of the 29th May last: K H Stuart, King George county, Va; John R.

Good lot, Esq., {Jhairm&n, $c.: Mt DrahSie :^-! have jtist returned from a fishing excursion, and received your letter of yesterday. You are right id supposing I am for tbe constitutional amendment. Slavery upon this continent is gone. It is an accom plished fact, and thq sooner | Kentucky recog nizes the fact tbe better for hler. We want no dead issues in tbe coming elections, on which, even if success is attained, nothing beyond.£he election of the candidates is : accomplished.— We can't save slavery, and the people ought to bo deeply interest'd in acting upon living issues, and in saving wh&t there is left of the constitution—the government of our fathers. I tried to save it all, just a* it came to us from their hands and was expounded by the courts ; but, as this can’t be done, let us preserve all that is left of it, outside of ; tbe nigger, and we shall thus have, if we Succeed, the best government on earth. The trials through which we have passed clearly demonstrates that the government ia amply able, without any increase of its powers, to protect us from for eign or domestic enemies.! Henceforward there will be more confidence at home and abroad in the stability of our institutions— slavery having expired npon this continent as a consequence of the revolution. And now I must decline your very polite invitation to ad dress the people of -the State upon these ques tions for the present. My private affahni im peratively demand nay personal attention; yet, if I thought mv poor services would bring about the desired result, I should not hesitate to act in accordance with yo^r wishes. Nu merous letters from old And valued friends are coming in upon me daily, and I may think it my duty, in a few days, to make a public an swer to these inquiries. It is painful to differ from them, but 1 have acted with no party for several years, because, not knowing what to do, I have done nothing, leaviflg it to events to shape my course. Respectfully, your ob’t sv’t, j B. MAGOFflX i, United Stales vs. Caldwell. Circumstances render this case of special im portance to all our readers. We have there for concluded to present the ease as fully as we are able iu our columns. Captaiu Bryan being indisposed and therefore unable to argue the case in person, submitted a written state ment to the Provost Judge, a c^py of which is subjoined:—Angusta Chronicle. . Office Gen. Sup't Frj4edmen, > Augusta, Ga , June 21, 1865. j Lieut. Col. Rex ford, Provost Judge: Sir :—I have the honor to call your attorn tion to a few thoughts in regard! to the case of the United States vs. Mr. Caldwell, for insult ing United States soldiers. The Government has seen fit to make soldiers of colored men whatever may be our opinions as to the pro priety of doing so, we must accept it as a fact. They then cease to be negroes and become sol diers of tbe Government, and as such, are en titled to and should receive the same marks of respect accorded to other soldiers. The sol diers who were insulted were on duty; placed on duty by orders of General Mo^ineux. It is a much greater crime to ipsultia soldier on duty than to insult them when dff duty.. To insult them on duty is to insult th* Government and the officer who placed them On duty. To insult, them off duty may be to insult simply the individual. The army regulations recognise this distinction. These soldiers ire re insulted because they were soldiers. Would negroes walking along the street have been insulted by him, who were not soldiers ? If these con clusions be correct, it was not so much the men who were insulted as the Government who made them soldiers. They were insulted becauso thi$ man is dis loyal to the Government. I derirc especially to call your attention to the behavior of the soldiers when insulted. The perfect discipline manifested. I know them to be brave men. I have sden them fight and know that no soldiers behave better in battle. They are old soldiers, having been in the service nearly three years. They have lost the feelings caused by slavery, and are men, brave men. The offence cf insulting such sol diers as these, is much greater than it would be if they were raw recruits. I have the honor to be, Colohel, very re spectfully, your obedient servant, i J. E. Bktamt, Gen. Sup’t.

Many years of my past life*haye been expended man open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to accom plish this saintary purpose, aiid to place before my friends and the public generally, at the lowest possible market price, and In such quantities as might snit their convenience, a truly genuine imported article. Twenty-five years' business transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass ed facilities tor supplying onr home market with Wines, Liqnore and Liqmures of the best and inoet approved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the ‘-Schie dam Schnapps." The latter, so long tested and approved by tbe medi cal Faculties of tbe United States, West Indies aud South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole some, pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all cli mates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cu pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a spurious article under the same name. I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, sur rounded ail my importations with safeguards and di rections whicU with ordinary circumspection, will In sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to all my customers. I would, however, recommend in all cases where it is possible, that oTders be sent direct to my Depot, Tl Beaver street. New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition to a Urge stork of Wines, Brandies, Ac., in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign wines, embracing vintages of many past years, bottled up before the commencement of the war,a hich can esped dly recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the cariy atten tion of my Couthern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally at tho Depot, in order to in-* sure the fulfillment of their favors irom the present large aud well selected assortment.
