SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN. MONDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 4. 1866. SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN SAVANNAH: MONDAY MORNING, SEPT’R 4. More Railway Hulcherlcs- A few days since we were foolish en ough to vent our indignation against the criminal culpability of railroad cor porations in quite a lengthy editorial, at which time we condemned the danger ous system of American railroads. We contrasted our fearful blunders and dangers by rail, with the perfection, precision and safety with which our English cousins manage their railroad lines. We begin to realize the folly of commenting upon these wholesale mas- sacrees, for wholesale murders on rail roads have long since ceased to be a novelty or a matter of news. With such reflections in our mind, we have no spirit to continue protesting against an evil so gigantic that mere newspaper bul lets can effect but httle good. Outraged humanity must soon be thoroughly aroused to the enormity of the crimes perpetrated by heartless railroad managers. The details of the last batch of horrors are really soul siclienin g and our Northern exchanges are teeming with the most scathing editorials on the gross carelessness manifested by the railroad corporations. The entire press of the country is fully aroused on this painful subject, and they now de mand that justice shall be meted out to murderers, regardless of their position or influence. We have arrived at a pret ty state of affairs if the careless superin tendent of a railroad can sit in his car peted office, chuckling with his stock holders over the prospects of rich divi dends, while a few miles off the air is rent in twain with the groans of the dy ing and the agonized shouts of the wounded, as they lie embedded in the debris and fragments of shattered passen ger cars. What if the happy bride and bridgroom are ushered into eternity by the neglect of railway employees, ere they have experienced the joys of their honeymoon? What matter if the gallant soldier, with maimed limbs and gaping wounds received in defence of his coun try’s honor, is hastening home to receive the dying benedictions of a grief-stricken mother—of what consequence is it if his 1 >ody is impaled to the earth with wooden splinters ?—he is only a private—a mere soldier. The only hope we can possibly entertain of a reform in railroad manage ment will be in the empanelling of a jury to try these influential culprits for delibe rate murder- We wan a body of unbiasedt men who will not hesitate to give an im partial, honest verdict, even though the evidence adduced at the trial should war rant their finding a verdict of guilty in the first degree. We want men who will be unawed by a)i the power of wealthy corporations, to sit in judgment upon these foul crimes—men, whose mottoe will be “let justice be^done though the heavens should fall. ’ 'Xiie State Convention — Had News from Glynn County. It gives us great pleasure to state that in nearly all the counties in Southern Georgia, meetings are daily being held for the nomination of candidates who will carry out the President’s Proclamations U, the Idler. A number will be held on Saturday next along the Railroads, and we hope their proceedings will be for warded to us for publication. We regret to learn that in Glynn county the right of secession has been re-affirmed by their meeting. The Union men must see to it in season that this insane doctrine is crushed, and give the rebel ticket strong opposition. We supposed that the odious word secession had been expunged from our vocabulary, until its ghost reappeared on tills occasion. The revival of this ac cursed principle, which has draped the South in mourning will obliterate our ast ray of hope in Georgia for the restoration of peace and the reorganiza tion of civil law ; it has had its day and gone down in a sea of blood, there let it rest, as one of the stupendous failures of the nineteenth century. We fancy we foresee dark shadows overhanging the political horizon of our State, but we trust there is asilver lining which we have not yet seen behind these portentious clouds. One thing is certain, the Union men of Georgia must not sleep any longer, for new perils surround the “Ship of State,’ 1 and if, as truthful journalists, we are obliged to send for ward to the world such gloomy reports as we learn from Glynn county, there is yet danger of our being shipwrecked upon these shoals of secession. If these primary meetings endorse the right of secession and uphold the insane dogmas of discontented demagogues.no State Con vention will avail us or avert the evils under which we now labor. Unionists of Georgia be up and doing, for you have a desperate and determined foe to encounter at the polls. Prepare for the coming struggle in good earnest, gird up your loins and go into the contest in with a will,or let defeat repay you for your inactivity. The time has come when you need as many eyes as Argus and as many hands as Briarius. The Augusta Mails—A. G. Hartz, Esq. Postmaster at Augusta, gives notice that be has made arrangements with the Augusta branch of the Central Railroad, by which a daily mail will be sent to and from Savannah, The Auction Sale of Government Vessels at Bsy Point. A Good Attendance and Spirit ed Bidding. According to the announcement in the papers, the sale of Government vessels took place at Bay Point on Saturday, at tracting quite a large concourse of capi talists, steamboat men, and speculators, who were anxious to invest in this most desirable species of property, which is just now very profitable. The following are the prices obtained for the vessels and the names of the pur chasers. -.The steamer Chatham, which has been a familiar craft in these waters for several years, was started at $5,000, but in a moment there was a great deal of competition manifested among the audi ence, and the bidding rose rapidly until the auctioneer’s hammer knocked her down to Mr. Wm. Gray, of this city, at $9,300. The powerful and fleet steamer O. M. Petit was next put up, and after a great deal of spirited bidding, was sold to Mr. A. J. Nichols, of this city, Agent of tho Bos ton Cotton Beater Press Company. We understand Mr. Nichols, is to have the agency of one or two new boats now on their way from the North, which are ex pected to arrive within two or three weeks. The “Petit” is to be placed upon the Florida line as a freight and passenger boat, and will form a valuable acquisition to our steamboat fleet. After making one or two trips the O. M. Petit will be hauled off for a few weeks, for the pur pose of remodelling her and adding mod ern conveniences for the comfort of her passengers. The bark Valparaiso, a worthless craft, brought 8625 and was purchased by En glish A Co., of Port Royal, who will tear the vessel to pieces to secure the copper. The sloop Percy Drayton was bought by Clias. Crane & Co. of Port Royal, for 8370. The sail boat “Romaine,” was purchas ed by John Gibbs of Port Royal for 8405. The “Star King,” a sail boat, sold for 8330. The hulk of the ferry boat Ellen brought 8150. Quite a large lot of row boats, gigs and cutters, were sold at Bay Point at prices ranging from 830 to 800. The “knocking down” was done in a most acceptable manner by Lieut. Com mander Mayo, in command of Bay Point. None of the purchasers, so far as we could learn, were “bruised,” but all speak in glowing terms of the many little courte sies that were freely extended by the na val authorities under whose special super intendence the sale was held. Admiral Radford, always the gentleman, and Fleet Capt. Howell, behav ed udmira—bly, and each tried to see Jeoic—well they could en tertain all present. The spectators return - ed to Port Royal and Savannah delighted with their trip, which was made one of pleasure and profit, and the praise be stowed upon the Naval officers we will guarantee is worthily bestowed. The Weather. Yesterday was a delightful Sabbath day, although the thermometer ranged too high for real comfort. At noon the mercury stood in the sun at 95 degrees, while in the shade it was 89. The pres ence of the sun’s rays, though somewhat oppressive, were universally welcomed by our citizens, who have suffered all the annoyances and inconveniences of a small deluge during the past week. Our streets are now in good condition for traveling, and our retail merchants will no doubt do a thriving business this week. One Day Later from the North—By the arrival of the steamship Varuna, Captain Whitehurst, from New York on Thursday af ternoon last, we are in possession of New York papers of August 61st. We are greatly indebted to the politeness of Purser Bently and Mr. F- H. Cooley, chief officer of the Varuna, for full files of late New York papers. Arrival of the CoNSTiTUTioN.-The steam ship Constitution, Captain Greenman, from New York on 1 Wednesday afternoon, arrived at this port early yesterday morning. We are indebted to the courteous Purser, W. Cocher- an, for late papers. Arrival of the 0. M. Petit.—The steamer 0. M. Petit, which was purchased by Mr A. J. Nichols, of this city, arrived at the wharf yesterday from Port Royal, South Carolina, occupying but four hours and five minutes in the trip from wharf to wharf. This is a pretty good trip, and speaks well for the sailing quali ties of the Petit when we oonsider that she is no* at present in thorough repair and running order. The Petit was built in New York and draws feet when loaded. The Petit, which has for many months been commanded by Mate Smith, one of the most effioient naval officers in this De partment, was commanded by him on her trip to Savannah, and the speedy voyage may be attri buted to his skill as an ezeoutive officer, as well as to tho reliable and vigilant engineer and sub ordinate officers of the boat. Among the passen- gors by the Petit was Purser Frank H. Arms, of the U. 8. steamer Malvern, Admiral Radford’s flagship. , The Steamer Helen.—A dispatoh from Au gusta states that the steamer Helen, Capt. Reilly, is on her way down with a large number of pas sengers and a full treight. She will probably ar rive this morning,enabling those of her passengers who desire to go North to take passage in the clogant and commodious steamer Minnetonka, which sails on Tuesday for Philadelphia, forward ing passengers to New York free of charge. For New York.—On Saturday the steamer Amerioa. Capt. Lindt, was cleared by Messrs. Brigham, Baldwin A Co. for New York, with a very large list of passengers, together with 694 bales of upland and 2 do. sea island cotton, and numerous other freight. The Amerioa is always fortunate in seouring a good passenger and freight list. The Savannah River.—We are gratified to learn that the recent rains have extended gener ally all over the State, and that-the Savannah river at Augusta rose flour and a half feat on Sat urday last. gtaf We are again indebted to Adams’ Express Company for late interior papers, A Pleasant Affair Occurred on board the staunch and elegant steamer Minnetonka on Saturday afternoon, the occasion being the re-union of a large number of the personal friends of Captain Balch and Purser Caleb. After the invited guests, including a few of the merchants of Savannah, had thoroughly inspected the commodious steamer, they were suddenly ushered into the main saloon, where a sumptous repast, comprising all the delicacies of the season, were spread in templing and bountiful profusion. Without any further formalities, the captain issued his orders for "all hands” to par take of the solids and fluids which his liberal hand had spread ont bofore thorn. During an hour of the most agreeable enteitaioment which was spent on board, appropriate toasts were given for tho generous captain, the courteous purser, the Quaker City, the now line, its Savannah agents, the flag of our country, the tios of commerce, the army and navy, the press, and the unnumbered heroic dead who have fallen in the contest for National liberty. Tho company separated, de lighted with the appearance of the ship, and with warm wishes for the success of the new line. A full description of the Minnetonka is unavoidably crowded out of this issue, but will appear in Tuesday’s Republican. One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be paid for the return to the Pro vost Marshal's office, on Bryan street, of his pocket book containing between 8300 and 8400 in Treasury Notes, and several papers of value to no one but the owner. For particulars see advertisement in another column. The steamer R. II. May, from Savannah, arrived at Augusta on Tuesday last. On her trip up she passed the following flats bound to Savannah: Passed McAlpin’s Flats in Tide Water. W. II. Goodrich’s McAlpin’s Krensom’s Express McDonald’s Mill's Frazer’s Allen’s Tide Water. Baybush. Ebenezer Reach. Sister Reach. Goldwire. Poor Robin. Seven Points, Stones’ Landing. bar. Steamer Laura, both flats sunk at Cox’s IMPORTANT FROM HAY II. PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION. Capture of Fort St. Michel by the Re bels and Evacuation of Petite Anse by Geffrard’s Troops. CESS ATI OX OF THE OOM FAKE MENT OF CAFE 11A YT/EN. THREATS AGAINST TIIE WHITE IN HABITANTS OF THE TOWN. Ac. Ac. Ac. The United States steamer State of Georgia, from Cape Haytien on the 22d of August, has arrived, bringing the followiug important in telligence : The rebels had taken Fort St. Michel, on the opposite side of the harbor, by surprise, in the night, oausing the troops of President Geffrard to evacuate Petite Anse and to stop the bombard ment of the town. The town has been relieved from its most pres sing wants by smaii vessels running the blockade at night, and a block ide runner from Nassau had run in with provisions, arms and ammuni» tion. Only three or four persons in the town had been killed by the bombardment, but many had died from fright and starvation. Tho white inhabitants of the Cape were in a very unsafe position, being obliged to keep within doors, and being subjected to constant threats by the mob, composed mostly of women armod with knives tied on the end of bamboo poles. The rebels had enticed three of Geffrard’s of ficers from the American Consul’s huuso and shot them in cold blood. Tho English steamer Fawn bad arrived from Jamaica, taking the place of the Cordelia. The rebels are determined to hold out, and the government forces are reduced to a small number by deaths and desertions. Flour was 825 (gold) per bbl; rice 30c. per lb.: beans 20c. and sugar 50c. TIIE DAILY RAILWAY SLAUGHTER Collision near Chattanooga. A NUMBER OF LIVES LOST. Chattanooga, August 30.—A train which left this city this afternoon, bound South, when nearing Dalton, about dusk, came in collision with freight train number nine, com ing towards Chattanooga. A general wreck of matter ensued, the cars of both rtains being demolished. Two dead bodies have been ta ken from the fragments, and it is certain that a number more have been killed and seriously injured. Workmen are now engaged at clearing away the ruins. JEFl'EKSOM DAVIS. Sjiecuhtions as to His Trial—lie is Indicted at Knoxville— 1 Ydl Probably be Tried at Nor folk, and by . Iud'Je Chase. Washington, Tuesday, Aug. 29. The trial of Jefferson Davis will take place before a United States Circuit Court, but the particular one has not yetr been designated. There seems to be no importance attached to the fact that the grand jury of the District of Columbia some months ago found a true bill against him for constructive treason in sending his troops to operate against Washington in the summer of 1861. The Grand Jury of the Court at Knoxville has indicted him for trea son, for there Davis harangued the people against the United States Government. The trial, however, cannot now take place in that town, or at any other place in the Tenth Judicial District, for the reason that the vacancy occasioned by the death of Associate Justice Catron has not yet been filled. As military operations against the United States were directed by orders given from Richmond, it is probable that the trial will take place in Virginia, at Norfolk, in which event Chief Justice Chase will preside, as that State is embraced in the Judicial Circuit assigned to him.
