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

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

THREATS AGAINST TIIE WHITE IN

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.
