SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4. 1865. [PRICE 5 CENTS.] NO. 207 The Alabama Railway Accident. Twelve Killed, Eighty Wounded [Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.] Washington, Aug. 29, 1865. Several months ago at a Cabinet meeting, the question was discussed whether Seven- Thirties should be paid out to soldiers. Mr. Lincoln approved the policy for the reason that banks and merchants in localities where large amounts were paid at one time would in all probability place a discount on the bonds when they exchanged legal-tenders for them; subse quently it was determined that Paymasters should be furnished with a certain proportion of Seven-Thirties, and should, before paying off, notify officers and soldiers that they could take their choice of the funds in which they should be paid. Through the connivance of some of the Paymasters, the result apprehended by Mr. Lincoln has occurred. Paymaster Gen eral Brice has completely unfolded the whole scheme. Col. Biriney, Paymaster in charge of the Norfolk district, took there a few months ago eight millions of dollars in United States Trea sury cheeks, in utter violation of his instruc tions. He had them cashed in Norfolk, and took in exchange 7.50s. By an arrangement with the National Bank of Norfolk, of which one Coles, a notorious Secessionist, is Presi dent, Binney received one-half of the per cent. age allowed by Jay, Cook A; co. for the circula tion of 7.50 bonds. Some of the other paymasters, of whom he has eight (8) under him, getting wind of the transac tion, went to Binney, and compelled him to share with them. Those who at present appear to have made the most out of this little financial trans action are Major Pullsfer, Howell and Narmon. Their gains in one month alone were over $1,000 each. Binney received in the same time over $13,000. The gains of the National Banks at Richmond and Norfolk must have been enormous, for a large proportion of the bonds came back on their coun ters to be exchanged for legal tender notes, and they invariably charged one-half to one per cent, discount. The merchants and sutlers followed suit and a soldier could not buy the smallest arti cle with his 7.36 bond unless he submitted to this infamous swindle. These facts have been developed by the exami nation of Mr- Clark, cashier of the National Bank at Norfolk, who has made a statement of over $20n,006 that he has paid out to different paymasters, all of which has come out of the sol diers. The Paymaster General is informed that there are other localities where similar offenses have been committed, and investigations are to be made immediately. What will be done with the swindlers 19 not yet determined, but the paymas ters arc all here, ten of them, under arrest. No mercy will be shown them either by Gen. Brice or by Secretary McCulloch. Several More Vessels Destroyed by tlse SlienandoaU. Chicago, August 26. A San Francisco telegram of the 3d, says : The following vessels have been destroyed by the pirate Shenandoah: Hemmar, J.
