SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 12. 1865. mmm REPUBLICAN SAVANNAH: SATURDAY MORN INC, AUGUST 12. Gen. Cox’s Letter on Negro Suffrage. As everything pertaining to this perplexing and momentous question is of vital interest to onr citizens at this time, we devote a large portion of our space to the views of one of the ablest soldiers and statesmen of Ohio. Gen. Cox is the popular gubernatorial candidate of the Republican party of Ohio, and will doubt less be elected by a large majority. We have not space to comment upon the lengthy letter, but feel sure that a careful perusal of it will satisfy the conservative portion of our people that the people of the North are not all insane yet. There is a spirit of manly candor, inde pendence and true dignity pervading the pun gent document which we admire, and the writer throughout breathes a noble determina tion to support President Johnson at all haz ards. As it is our purpose to present every variety of opinion on this great National problem, we commend Gen. Cox’s letter to our readers. “THE CRY IS, STILL THEY COME.” ARRIVAL 0V A “ NEW STEAMER." , The new and tine light draft side-wheel iron steamer W. G. Gibbooff,intended to connect with Albany and Gulf Road at Doctortown, arrived at her wharf at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, having made tbe passage from Wilmington, Del., to tbis port in four days. Her dimensions are as follows: Length, 155 feet; breadth of beam, 25 feet; kneed throughout, with iron sides and bottom of 5-16 inch iron. The lower deck is clear fore and aft, and will carry 1,000 bales of cotton. Her accommoda tions for passengers are ample. She has two in clined high-pressure engines, cylinders 20 inches in diameter, stroke of piston 6 feet. The W. G. Gibbons was built by the celebrated builders, Messrs. Pusey, Jones & Co., of Wil- mingtoD, Delaware, and named after one of the firm. All her officers ate favorably known by the business men of this city, vtz : Thomas N. Philpot, Captain; W. B. Ferr, Clerk; George A. Nieoll, Engineer; John L. Roumillat, late Agent of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, Agent on Wharf; Erwin & Hardee, Owners and Agents- Steamer General Herr?. The agents of this popular boat having been requested by a number of her patrons to de' tain her until evening for the purpose of allow ing them to complete business arrangements, have kindly consented to do so, and have changed the hour of departure until 8 P. M. As she carries the U. S. mail, our readers will be further pleased, as it will afford them until 6 o’clock, P. M., to get their Augusta corres pondence into the Post Office. In doing this, Messrs. C. L. Colby & Co. simply vindicate what we have often before expressed in these columns, their willingness at all times to ac commodate the public even though their own interests might not be benefited. We are confident, however, that this act of public courtesy by one of the most enterprising firms in our city, will be fully appreciated by our people. Arrival of the St. Helbna.—Last evening the St. Helena, Capt. F. J. Ceroopely, arrived at this port from Hilton Head. This steamer was formerly the Gen Beauregard, under the com mand of Capt Ceroopely. She has been thorough ly repaired and refitted in every particular, and is now a first class vessel, and we a r e happy to peroeive that our old friend, Capt. Ceroopely, is still in command of her. The St. Helena is a government boat and belongs to Gen, Saxton’s department, and will be employed to ply between this city and the islands to the South. She is ad mirably calculated for this purpose, as her ac commodations; for passengers are good, and her capacity for freight ample for the service. For Acqcsta.—The steamers Helen, Captain Reilly, and General Sheploy, Captain Morse, de parted yesterday for Augusta, with a number of passengers and heavy freights This morning the steamer General BerTy, Cap tain Henry, will leave for Augusta. She has fine state-room accommodations, and is known to be a fast steamer. The mails for New York per steamer Ne vada will close this morning at 10£ o’clock. A circular of importance from Provost Marshal Sain’l Cowdrey appears in our paper this morning which is of interest to those of our citizens who desire to take the Amnesty Oath. Humanity’s -Appeal. Help tlie Widow ! The undersigned, a Committee of the Abra ham’s Home for poor and worthy widows, make this appeal to the benevolence of tbis commUflffty. Tbe Home is a permanent charity of the city, and before the war was self-sustaining. Now it is without any available means of support. It contains thirty widows from 60 to 90 years of age. They have been selected for their good character and entire dependence. They have no relatives to whom they can look for help. For six months they aave been amply supplied by the government through the military com manding at tbis post. Now this source of sup ply fails. What is to be done V We cannot—we must not see them starve ! Humanity forbids it. Yet without help they must starve. We appeal to all the people residing in Savan nah. and to the officers and soldiers, to aid us in supporting these aged widows. Some of our merchants have perishable artioles which would be of great use. They might be sent directly to tbe Home, corner of Broughton and East Broad streets. There are some subscribers who have not paid. Let them remember ibat this is tbe hoar of need. We leave this paper at the newspaper offices for snbscriptions of money or food. Articles of food ov money may be sent to any member of the Committee. God has said: “Thou shalt not harden thy heart or shat thy hand from thy poor brother.” Let not this call be disregarded.

Tbis is equal to more than $9,000,000 of greenbacks, which amount will be increased to over $10,000,- 000 by the proceeds of the rosin, turpentine, cot ton and iron recently sold for ourroncy. This is filling the publio parse to some purpose, Mr. Bra per.—-V, Y. Tribune. On Tuesday, Jeff.
