SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN. TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 12. 1865. WAMHWiPUBLH# SAVANNAH: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT’R 12. from the Removal of Obstructions Savannah River A Mistake Cor - rected. To the Editor of the Savannah Republican: g IR i n your editorial of the 9th Sept, you have fallen, or been led into, a very great mis take in relation to certain offers to remove the obstructions from the Savannah river, and as this mistake, uncorrected, is calculated to produce a very improper and false impression as to any past or future action of the Mayor and Alder men of the city of Savannah, I consider it my duty to correct it. You say, “The proposition of Mr. Webster is to remove the sunken wrecks, sandbars and ob structions of every kind from our river, so that vessels drawing 15 feet of water oan safely reach Savannah, and the gigantic undertaking will not cost the city one mill. All that is required is the sanction of the city government for the company to proceed.” This is certainly news to the Mayor and Aider- men, for on the 30th August, 1865, Mr. Webster made a proposition (a very general one, without any specifications) to the Mayor to remove “all” tbe artificial obstructions in the Savannah river. This proposition was submitted by me to a spe cial meeting of Council. The following is an extract from t^ letter containing that proposi tion : "For the labor and risk of the same, I ask tbe material of which the obstructions consist, and in addition the sum of one hundred and fifteen thousand Doi-LARs, which sum may be paid in the bonds of the city of Savannah, said bonds to become due within twenty years from the first dav of January, 1866, and bearing the legal interest of the State of Georgia, and paya ble semi-annually, excepting that for the first year from tbe date of the bonds no interest shall be paid thereon.” With this fact, I leave the subject to the deci sion of the public, with the observation that the removal of the obstructions involves more than the mere expenditure of money, for if it be not done with a scientific regard to the set and veloci ty of the current of the river, harm instead of good will be the result. Respectfully your obt. servt., R, D. Arnold, Mayor of Savannah. P. 8.—Before the war seventeen feet "ml a half were carried frem our wharves. Would it, under any circumstances, be worth while to spend any money to carry only fifteen feet ? R. D. A We gladly publish the above communi cation of His Honor Mayor Arnold, set, ting forth the first proposition of Mr, Webster in relation to the removal of the obstructions from the.^Savannah river, Like all other mortals existing on this mundane sphere, we do net profess to be immaculate, and hence there is nothing •wonderful in »n editor making a mistake occasionally, particularly such an un intentional one as occurred in our issue of the 9tli inst. All we have to plead in extenuation for our blunder, if our verbatim repetition of the statement made to us in relation to this contract can be called an error, is simply publish ing information given to us by parties we believed to be responsible. The statement contained in Mayor Arnold’s letter greatly astonished us, and is certainly a complete refutation of the article we published on Saturday, but the whole mastery or misunderstanding is explained by the verbal statement of Mayor Arnold yesterday, that the secant/ proposal, which has since been offered, was to clear the river of the obstruc tions without any expense whatever to the city. This proposition it seems had been made to one or two of the Aldermen, but, at the time we published it, had not been formally presented to the Mayor • and Council for their action or consider ation at the regular meeting. In conclusion we would respectfully state that nothing could be more remote from our intentions than to create im proper or false impressions as to the past or future action of the honorable gentle men composing the Board, and we regret that the article in our paper should be so construed. Our humble desire is to do all in our power to help forward all measures tending to benefit Savannah, and as we have before stated, our columns are always open gratuitously for the dis cussion of all matters pertaining to the prosperity of Savannah, and the welfare of her inhabitants. York, Williams, McIntyre & Co. We take pleasure in calling tjie atten tion of our subscribers in Chatham and other counties, to the card of the above firm, which appears in our advertising columns. To the citizens of Savannah it would be superfluous for us to attempt to explain the standing and character of either member of the firm, for they are too well and favorably known, but to our friends in the interior who desire to con sign goods of any description, and who may not be familiar with the unsullied reputation of the firm, we desire to re commend them as reliable, first class, en ergetic merchants. Col. York who de parts from our city to-day in command of his regiment, the 75th New York, en rouie for New r York, has enjoyed the re spect and confidence of the citizens of Savannah as Provost Mar.-hal of the Dis trict, and while North, the Colonel will enter into extensive arrangements with the leading houses there for the con signment of goods. Messrs. Williams and Mclntire are both old citizens of Savan nah, and are business men of integrity energy. We wish the new firm an and Departure of the 26tD Mass. Vet. Vols for Boston. In view of the departure of the above gallant body of men who leave us to-day, the follow ing brief sketch of the Regiment if of interest: The Regiment has won a host of warm friends since its arrival in our city, by the gentlemanly deportment and urbanity of both officers and men, who have not allowed themselves to for get tl^t they wdfre soldiers. We wish them a safe and prosperous return to the * “Old Bay State,” where a brilliant ovation awaits their return. The 26th Regiment was first organized by Colonel Edward F. Jones, and was composed of the greater portion of the old 6th Regiment, Mass. Militia, which liegimeDt was tbe first en route for Washington, D. C., leaving Mas sachusetts April 15,18G1. The 26th’s organi zation was completed and mustered as a Regi ment October 18, 1861, and left Massachusetts the 1st of November, 1861, in company with the 9 th Regiment Connecticut Volunteers, en route for Ship Island, which two Regiments were the first to embark for the Gulf Depart ment. At the surrender of Forts Jackson and St. Phillip to the Federal forces, this Regi ment was stationed there to garrison the Forts, where they remained nearly three months, and during which time the Regiment suffered se verely from sickness, owing to the unhealthy condition of the Forts. From there they were ordered to New Orleans and assigned to provost duty in the city, where they remained until the army moved on the Sabine Expedition, in which they joined. Returned to New Orleans and joined the army in tbe second -Teehe cam paign on the 1st of January, 1864. Three- fourths of the Regiment re-enlisted as Veterans, and soon after went North on their veteran furloughs, at the expiration of which, they again reported to the Gulf Department and were soon after ordered to Virginia, with the two divisions of the 19th army corps. They ac companied the army in its march to Bermuda Hundred, and were shortly afterwards assigned to the army of the Shenandoah. They ac companied General Sheridan in his triumphant march through the Valley, participating in all the engagements. October 18, 1864, the Regiment was consolidated into a Battalion of five companies, to be commanded by Lt. Col. VVm. H. Chapman, its present commander, who was Captain in the old organization. Previous to the disbandment of the Army of the Shenandoah, this Regiment was trans ferred to the 1st division, and in the month of Juup, 1865, was ordered with the rest of the division to Savannah, Ga., which place they reached June 8th, 1865. The following is a list of commissioned of ficers in the 26th Battalion Infantry Massa chusetts Veteran Volunteers : Lieut. Col., Wm. H. Chapman; Surgeon, Geo. T. Perkins, Adjutant, O. W. Dickerman; Quarte rmast Henry Brown; Captains, John S. Cooke, Seth Benney, James A. Troy, Russell O. Houghton, John L. Keyser; Lieutenants, Joseph Mc- Question, Daniel IK. Shaw, James T. Upham, James 15. IKhipp, Charles H. Richardson, Jas. Moulton, Chas. C. Messer. A number of these officers have received complimentary commissions from the State of Massachusetts. The 26th Massachusetts and 75th New York Volunteers both depart for Port Royal this morning, where they will embark on board the steamer Empire City for New York, sailing for that port this afternoon. The steamer Amazon, Captain R. Johnson, will have immediate despatch for Augusta, leaving Dillon’s wharf at six o’clock precisely this afternoon. Erwin & Hardee are the ac commodating Agents who will afford every, fa cility in their power to shippers. TIIE H AR IN SOU TH AMERICA. The Brazilian R/ockadcrs Blockaded—Ltis- handment of General Un/uiza's Army—En glish and French Accounts of the Military Situation, A'c. [Translated for the Herald from the Paris Opin ion Nationale of the 24th August, 1865.] The war on the Platte river has bronght up a point of maritime law, which, we believe,has never before presented itself. The Brazilian squadron ordered to blockade Paraguay, is, in turn, blockaded by the batteries which the Paraguayans have monnfed on the banks of the Parana. Will the neutral Powers consider a blockade of this irregular nature entitled to respect ? We would like to have the opinion on this subject of those newspapers that have denied the efficiency of the blockade of the Confederate States during the past four years. The Moniteur, Patrie and Journal des De bats, strive to make the complete dispersion of Gen. Urquiza’s army appear as an important incident. This defection was accompanied by cries of “Mueran los unitarios,” (the party un der Mitre); mueran los mecacos (the name given to the Brazilians in the countries near the Platte) and Vivian los Paragnayos. The triple alliance is now dissolved, and the hatred ex isting against Brazil is stronger than ever throughout the Argentine provinces. The English press, which since the com mencement of tbe war has constanly demon strated its sympathy for the pro-slavery empire of Brazil, is candid enough to admit that the cause of tbe allies is by no means encouraging. The latest news published by the London Globe states that the Brazilians had met with a se rious reverse. There can be no doubt but that Urquiza has joined Lopez with about eight thousand men, and that the Blanco party is about to get up another revolution in Mante- video. According to the Daily News, a crisis is im minent. The Paraguayans have occupied the Brazilian city of Uruguay, in the province of Rio Grande, when at the same time a body of twenty-five thousand men are in possession of La Restauracion. On the other hand, the Bra zilian squadron had prepared on the 29th of June to descend the river as far as Goya, as the Paraguayans had mounted batteries below the Bella Vista in order to cut off their retreat A Brazilian correspondent writes :—“Commo dore Burros and his officers are very suspicious of Uruguay.

The yield of cotton this year in Eastern North Carolina is good. Tbnre is a great Jack of hotels and boarding honses in Newbern. Portable houses, brought from the North, are bringing extravagant prices. It is impossible to reDt a building or to obtain lumber here for less than its weight in silver. Real estate and city lots, strange to say, have not yet taken a flight upwards, owing to the fear of confiscation and the unsettled condition of this kind of property. FROM(NEW ORLEANS.

In the absence of civil Courts, and in localities in •which no Commissioner or Agent of-the Freedmen’s Bnreau is loca ted in the State of Georgia, it is ordered that all questions of wages and debts of every description, arising between the freedmen and whites, and freedmen and freedmen will be enquired into and decid ed by the local Provost Marshals and their Assistants. II. Contracts heretofore made by and between the white men and their former slaves will be strictly adhered to unless it appears that such contracts were pro cured by fraud or made under duress, and in all cases of fraud or duress, a fair compensation will be collected and paid to the freedmen, III. Where a planter has hired a for mer slave by the month for the season, and has driven fiim off, the freedman will be entitled to recover pay and fair com pensation for subsistence from the time he began to work until January 1st, 1865, but care must be taken to ascertain if the freedman has complied with his contract.

Where a freedman made a con tract by the month for the season and refuses to remain, and quits work without the fault of the former master, he will aad is to some degree the necessary con sequence of events. In all actiona, the officer should never forget that no substitute for slavery, like apprenticeship, without proper consent, or peonage, (i. e., either holding the peo ple by debt, or confining them without consent, to the land by any system,) will be tolerated. The Assistant Commissioner will des ignate one or more of his agents to act as the general superintendent of schools, (one for each State) for refugees and freedmen. This officer will work as much as possible in conjunction with State of ficers who may have school matters in charge. If a general system can be adopted for a State, it is well; but if not, i he will at least take cognizance of all J that is being done to educate refugees j and freedmen, secure proper protection j to schools and teachers, promote method 1 and efficiency, correspond with the be nevolent agencies which are supplying his field, and aid the Assistant Commis sioner in making his required reports. Surgeon C. W. Horner, Chief Medical Officer of the Bureau, will have the gen eral supervision of medical matters con nected with refugees and freedmen. The Assistant Commissioners will in struct their medical officers, as they have instructed other officers, to make the medical department self-supporting as far as possible.

Attention is specially called to section four of the law establishing the Bureau, with regard to setting apart land to “ev ery male citizen, wliether refugee or freedman,” &c., and the same arrange ment is recommended when it can be ef fected, between private parties. Already many farmers have rented lands to freea- meu and refugees. This course is a re cognition of the general principle in the law. In order to enforce the fulfilment of contracts on both contracting parties, the Commissioner of the Bureau lays down no general rule—the Assistant Commis sioner must use the privileges and au thority he already has. Provost courts, military courts, local courts, where the freedmen and refugees have equal rights with other people, are open to his use.— In the great majority of cases his own arbitrament, or that of his agent, or the settlement by referees, will be sufficient. No Assistant Commissioner or agent is authorized to tolerate compulsory unpaid labor, except for the legal punishment of crime.
