SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN. WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 13. 1865. SAVANNAH: WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 13. Xlie Savannah He pub 1 ica.il Again. W e had hoped that this so-called loyal sheet would alter our last allusion to its course to wards’ the people among whom it is published, hesitate betore prorokiog to further comment and criticism; but it appears to be impervious to all sense of shame. Indeed, if we may judge from one ot its recent issues it rather courts than shrinks from further exposure ; and it is but right that it should be assisted in its efforts to ac quire notoriety since it has failed to achieve an honorable distinction. But before gratifying its desire in this direction, we would have it under stood that we are not in any way ambitious of controversy with the Republican; the reputa tion which is to be obtained in that wav is some thing we do not aspire to, for, considering the peculiar advantages possessed by the editor, the contest would be too unequal ; and lor the better understanding of our readers, we would state a few of them by way ot explanation for declining such a passage-at-arms : In the first place, then, let it be known that we did not come into possession of the Record office by appropriating the property of other people ; that loyalty is a marketable commodity in which we do not care to deal ; that our princi ples are not for sale; and that, in our opinion, the proper way to treat men who have a pen chant for what is not rightly theirs, is to give THEM THE FULL BENEFIT OF THE LAW. What does the editor of the Savannah Republi can think of this statement ot the case? What is his opinion of the man who would start a pa per on type which was nos his own; on a press which was not his own; in a word, upon every thing required in the publication of a journal, and all of which belonged to another? When the editor in question favors us with his opinion on this case, we may have something more to say aboul him and the profits which are to be made by such “loyal” and “patriotic” citizens as himself. We find the above “stunning” editorial notice in tlie last isssue of the “Metro politan Record and New York Vindicator,” an obscure sheet hardly known by the newspaper fraternity in New York, but which at present is doubtless enjoying quite a respectable circulation in the Southern cities. This so-called disloyal organ has a sub-editor residing in Savan nah, who has evidently taken umbrage at certain strictures which we have felt it our conscientious duty to make upon the unbecoming conduct of indiscreet p er- sons whose names we need not repeat at this time. The irate gentleman who wields the Savannah pen for the Record, aud who appears to have a mania for as sailing us on all sides, not content with attacking our political views, he forgets the true position of a gentleman in his last invective, by artfully attempting to brand us before the public as dishonest and unscrupulous, in fact he fain would lead his readers to believe that we are devoid of every attribute which makes the man. We dislike newspaper controversies, especially when they approach the Bil lingsgate order, but as our vindictive quid nunc has failed to “hesitate before provoking us to further comment and criticism, but appears to be impervious to all sense of shame, if we may judge from” his last splenetic epistle, which ‘ ‘rather courts than shrinks from further exposure, it seems but right that our so- called loyal sheet should assist it to no toriety, since it has failed to achieve an honorable distinction.” We are really at a loss to know which point to ausv er first in this letter of ma licious fabrications. The writer convicts himself of preaching certain virtues which he does not practice, but which he would do well to study. In the first place, we neither court nor fear the noto riety of which any such unprincipled and inconsistent sheet as the Record may give us. We think that this unremitting labor on the part of the Savannah editor, who does not hesi tate to hurl column after column of abuse against us, is prima facie evidence that he iseither ambitious of induging in a controversy or else anxious to sell a few extra copies of his delectable and loyal paper to that class of people who stigmatize the Republican as a so- called loyal sheet.” We may judge the Records motives unjustly, but it really seems that their designs on us are purely selfish, and we can therefore expect but little candor or charity from one whose only incentive for assailing us is based on mercenary grounds. The at tempt of certain Northern papers to cur ry favor with the people of the South by denouncing everything North, abusing everybody North, and assailing Northern people who are striving to gain an honest livelihood in the South, is an artful trick, but this contemptible species of ledger- demain has already been detected by the intelligent and high-minded Southern people, who cannot be deceived by anv such chicSnery. This relentless tirade of the Record against us has not the slight est impress of sincerity about it, the whole of the Savannah contributions in relation to the Republican and its present editor and his course are written in a spirit of malevolence, and coming from such a source, can inflict but little injury either on our prosperity as an honest, in dependent, fearless exponent of the wishes of Government and the conserva tive people of both sections of our coun try. Now a word about the mysterious insinuation of the “peculiar” advantages possessed by us. The writer undoubted ly refers to the protection afforded all men for the freedom of speech and the safe utterance of their thoughts and opinions on all subjects not treasonable by the presence of the United States military forces in Savannah. This, we kvould state for the better information of Four misguided assailant, is a boon that all can hereafter and forever enjoy with perfect impunity. It is one of the gen uine blessings arising out of the dreadful conflict through which we have passed, which is] to be conferred on all men.— To-day one can read the Liberator or the New York News, the Tribune or the New York World, and perhaps the loyal, high toned Record, or even Henry Ward Beecher’s sermons, and yet not tremble with the fear of being mobbed, tarred and feathered, or ulti mately driven from the South. A man may publicly say slavery was or was not a divine institution, and it shall not be considered a crime worthy of the death punishment. Now a word or two on our title [to this office and our remarkable ‘ ‘penchant for what is not rightly ours ’ The facetious editor hastens to inform his readers that he “did not come into pos session of the Record office by appropria ting the property of other people,” that “loyalty is a marketable commodity in which he does not c«re to deal.” This last sentence is so truthful and frank, that we feel almost inclined to forgive the distressed editor for all the cruel things he has said about us. About loyalty be ing “a marketable commodity,” we must confess that the writer has enlightened us, but it was superfluous for him to tell the public that he does not deal in loy alty, for that fact is patent to the most obtuse intellect. We were never guilty of accusing this Savannah attache of the Record of dealing in loyalty, for we are well aware that his taste is too refined to warrant his using such a vulgar .and obnoxious arti cle; our taste being vitiated, and morals depraved, we plead guilty to dealing in this same commodity, but we never thought of peddling it out North or South in any public market place. In the next chapter, the gentleman of veracity startles his readers by proclaim ing that his “principles are not for sale.” This is another superfluous statement, for we never heard the author accused of having any principles, but he must speedily dissolve liis connection with the Record if lie would have the public be lieve that he does possess any of this val uable commodity, and until he does sever his connection with such a strong advo cate of principle as the Record, we would respectfully recommend him to mix a lit tle of this article in his Savannah Repub lican dishes for those he has served up so far, lack the savor of principle. If the editor of the Record will not consider us impertinent, we would venture to suggest to him the propriety of keeping this as tounding announcement, “our princi ples are not for sale,” standing at the head of each column in his loyal, paper. It is rather late to tell the pub lic this fact, but a great many credulous ones can be found, no doubt, who will eventually believe it, and if adroitness is used in preparing the unpalatable dose plenty of gullible people will voracious ly swallow it. A few words more on the sale of principles and we will drop that portion of the base slur. If our princi ples were for sale we know of no better market in which to realize a fabulous profit for the barter, than right here in Savannah, and we question whether an honest Anti-Slavery Journalist ever ex perienced more temptations to cut loose from his principles and drown the cries of conscience than we have resisted during our sojourn in Savannah.— Tempting offers have been made to us to endorse, through our columns, what we sincerely believed to be wrong— had we adopted such a course, which would have ensured us popularity and be pleasing, perhaps, to the majority of the Savannah citizens for a while, we might to-day possess a liberal share of the filthy lucre gained by the sale of our principles. Any honest man will ad mit that the current of Southern opin ion has not yet, and will not for some time to come, drift in the same channel with the wishes of the Gov ernment, and it can hardly be reasonably expected that it would so soon, until more light shall break in up on the deceived people. We will inform our adversary that we are not laboring for popularity, but for what we consider right, and we had rather be right than be the editor of such an influential and scrupulous sheet as the Record. Stand ing up to our principles in Savannah has cost us a pecuniary sacrifice, but we nei ther regret it nor boast of it, and it is easy to perceive that in our case, gain and policy point in a different direction from principle and.self-abnegation. Now the writer wants to know what we think of the man “who would start a pa per on type which was not his own; on a press which was not his own; in a word, upon everything required in the publica tion of a journal, and all of which be longed to another.” As the gentleman asks for information, and betrays, by this singular and ridiculous interrogatory, great ignorance of the truthful facts of this matter, we will cheerfully “favor him with an opinion on this case.” We d« not brand any loyal man a thief who in obedience to orders from such men as Major General Sherman, and Major General John W. Geary, take possession of a printing office, abandoned by its owners in order to help des troy that Government which these gallant men were perilling their lives to preserve. We do not call it disloyal or dishonest to use a lot of old worn out type for the publication of such military orders as the military authorities of the United States requires particularly when the type had been used for the dissemination of treason, and was therefore the lawful prop erty of the United States Government by whose forces it was captured. It may be “unconsti tutional” and very radical for us to obey the laws of our land and strive to urge others to do likewise by using abandoned newspaper proper- tyand paying for the use thereof a stipulated sum to Government. If it was wrong for us to hire the building known as the Republican office in December last of Government, and to tubse" quently pay the rent thereof to its loyal owner Honorable Judge Wayne, then we are guilty. If it was criminal for us to purchase in Jan uary or February last the whole of the news paper establishment known as “The Free South," and remove its new presses, type and other printing materials to Savannah, and dis card the wretched, worn-out type of the old Republican, then we stand convicted of crime. If it was a gross outrage to purchase a well appointed and complete Jon Printing Office and combine it with our newspaper establish ment, an entire new feature in Savannah, with the diabolical design of making some money, then again do wc yield to the stem rigor of the law. If it is wrong to refuse to use a worn- out engine, whose boiler threatens to explode as quick as the specious bubble of our would- be pious accuser, and a heinous offence against the laws of man to order an expensive new steam engine from New York, then we again stand convicted before our fellow men. If it was wicked to stop using Confederate ink and brown paper as soon as we could ob tain better material of both articles frem Yan- keeland, we surrender. We are willing to confess to our mentor and tormentor, if it will afford him any consolation, and who obstinately refuses to “let us alone,” that since last De cember we have publicly opposed secession, uot for policy, but because our education was of that faulty school which taught us that re bellion was wicked ; and since then we have labored night and day to produce a respecta ble, live and loyal paper. We have expended thousands of dollars in improvements on our paper, and are daily adding to it such fea tures as will render the Republican accepta ble as a family and news paper even to those citizens of Savannah who honestly differ with us in politics and relig on. During eur con nection with the Republican, it is not unnatural to suppose, neither are we so egotistical as to deny that we have not fallen into error, and perhaps committed, innocently, some grave mistakes, but we are human, not of African descent, nor icith African blood in our veins, and as “it is human to err,” we only claim that amount of clemency which an enlightened and impartial community always bestow upon their fellow men. We are of opinioD, Mr. Record, that our record, if examined by disinterested parties, will stand nearly as clear as your own pure, spotless and unsullied reputation. We have so far, by study ing strict economy, and by dint of hard labo r, succeeded in paying all our bills, on pre sentation—even our hotel and wash bills have been paid. We have also to answer to tho grave charge of furnishing constant employment to a large number of Secessionists, nearly all of whom have served in the raok3 of the Confederate army > but who were honest, hard working mechanics, many cf them with large families to support, and all this, too, without asking these men how many ‘Yankees” they had slain, or who they had voted for in I860. We have been grossly insulted on the public streets on account of hailing from Massachusetts and for our political sentiments, and our life has been freqiently threatened; but we have insulted none, and have no desire to shed the blood of any man because we are not able to make him think as we do; neither is our existence rendered miserable because we have no fires of revenge in our bosom, and we trust the day has passed when the cry shall be, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” We hope our explanation will save us from any farther molestation this warm weather, for it is too hot to reply, and in conclusion we will state that while paddling our frail bark along the crooked stream of life, we shall not expect to steer clear of all the sunken rocks of deceit, nor escape the strong eddies of passion aDd preju dice. We expected to see lowering clouds and witness angry storms when we embarked, but have never forgotten ‘‘How empty learning and bow vain is art, Save when it guides, the life and mends the heart.” Aud if the Savannah editor of the Record, whose name we need not now call, will consider what Pope says on the difference of opinion, that “ ’Tis with our judgments as our watches—Done Go just alike, yet each believes his own,” he will be less inclined to censure unjustly and cease wasting his time iu pouring out vituperations upon honest people. Stonewall Jackson's Death. In to-morrow morning’s Republican we will publish a lengthy and interesting account of the last hours and death of this dashing rebel officer, Another New Steamer. The new steamer H. M. Cool, Capt. Samuel Taylor, from New York, which port she left on Thursday last, arrived in this city yester day afternoon. The H. M. Cool is a fine steamer of 134 tons register; draws three and a half feet water, and is well calculated for the river trade. She has ample accommodations for both freight and passengers. She is own ed in New York by Captain Peter Harmon, and came out for an engagement. She is consigned to the captain. TheEatc Uebel Pirate Georgia. At the Liverpool Assizes, on the 2'Jd, the case ofBates vs. Hewitt was tried. The action was brought by Mr. Bates, ship owner, ot this port, against the defendant, an underwriter at Lloyd’s, to recover upon a policy effected by him upon the steamship Georgia. This ship was at one time engaged in the Confederate service, and made several captures of snips belonging to the Federal States. Before the war ceased the ship came to Liverpool, was dismantled and converted into a merchant vessel, when she became the property ot the plaintiff, who afterward chartered ter for the mail eervice of the Portuguese Gov ernment. Before she left Liverpool the plaintiff’, through his London brokers (Messrs. Bradford & Co.,) effected an insurance with the defendant to the extent of £ti,00O, at four guineas per cent The ship finally left Liverpool, and wben just off the coast of Portugal was captured by the Feder al war steamer Niagara, which had been cruising about for some days previously with a view of falling in with her. The Georgia was taken to America iu the Niagara’s charge. The plaintiff then wrote to the defendant claiming the amount of the policy, but the defendant refused to pay it inasmuch as he said that certain material tacts had been kept buck from his knowledge, when the ship was in port, which should have been communicated to him, and that, therefore, the policy was vitiated. Had he known that the Georgia had been a Confederate war steamer he might not have refused the insurance, but he would only have effected it at a higher rate. He, therefore, repudiated his liability ; but it was contended by the plaintiff that the defendant must have known that the Georgia was at one time engaged in the Confederate service, because the subject had come before the House of Com mons, where a long debate took place upon it, aDd had been discussed in the newspapers. The defendant said he bad not been aware of it; there might have been other Georgias in the country at the time, and he was jot supposed to know which of them was the subject of these discus sions. The plaintiff alleged that he bad known only one other Georgia, which was built and lost in 1863, and therefore could not have been the Georgia of 1864 ; aDd from that.time to the present there had been no other ship called the Georgia in existence. . His lordship left it to tne jury to gay whether there was any'material fact which ought to have been communicated to the defendant. He was of opinion that the previous history of the ship should have been made known ; bnt it was a question for them whether the defendant did at the time know it, or bad by his carelessness failed to make himselt acquain ted with it The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. F IMPORTANT ORDER. HEADQ'RS, DEPT, OP GEORGIA, Office of the Peo. Mas. . Gen. Augusta, Ga., August 7, 1865. CIRCULAR, ) No. 2. f I. In the aosence of civil Courts, and iu localities in which no Commissioner or Agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau is loca ted in the State of Georgia, it is ordered that all questions of wages and debts of every description, arising between tbe freedmen aud 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 him off, thefreedman 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 lias complied with his contract. IV. 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 not be entitled to recover wages for any part of the time; but great care must be taken to ascertain that the freedman had no excuse for leaving. V. When a former master strikes, kicks, shooisat, or threatens to shoot, or commit any assault upon any peaceable freedman on his plantation and in his employ, it will be held by the Provost Marshal to be a violation of the contract by him, and the freedman may recover full pay and commutation to the end of his term, but the freedman will not be allowed to remain on the plantation, after ceasing tb work. VI. Provost Marshals will take into consideration the number of non-work ers on any plantation supported by the former master, in deciding what is fair wages for the freedman in the absenoe of a contract, VII. Vagrants, idlers and loafers, with out means of support, cither white or black, will be arrested aud severely pun ished, generally by hard labor on the streets of the towns and cities, and such other work as may be ordered, and in ag gravated cases a ball and chain will be added. But persons out of employment and making reasonable efforts to secure employment, will not be embraced in the classes herein named. VIII. Any person feeling aggrieved by the decision of any Provost Marshal by giving notice, may appeal within ten days to the Provost Marshal General at these headquarters. Provost Marshals will keep a complete record of all cases tried by them, with all the evidence, and will furnish a transcript thereof to any ; person having an interest in any pro- 1 ceeding thereon, and desiring to appeal, j IX. Provost Marshals will use reason able discretion in deciding all cases, but it must be borne in mind that the rights of all men are equal under the law. The : time when one man can reap the fruits I of another’s labor is forever past in the ! United States, and cq person in Georgia I will be allowed to do any act tending to restore the old order of things. X. Provost Marshals will collect the : money found due in all cases tried by i them, and which has not been appealed, and pay it over to the person to whom it is due, and if any person or persons shall j neglect or refuse to pay such accounts, | the amount will be made by the sale of property. XL In the absence of Agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau, Provost Marshals will supervise tho contracts to be made for the year 1866, and approve such con tracts as are equitable and liberal to the freedmen. By Command of MAJ. GEN. STEEDMAN. C. H. Gkosvenok, Brevet Brig. Gen. and Provost Marshal. and is to some degree the necessary con sequence of events. In all actions, 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, he will at least take cognizance of all that is being done to educate refugees and freedmen, secure proper protection to schools and teachers, promote method 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. All public addresses of a character cal culated to create discontent are repre hensible; but the Assistant Commissioner and his agents must explain, by constant recapitulation, the principles, laws and regulations of this Bureau, to all parties concerned. It is recommended to the Assistant Commissioners to draw up in writing a careful summary to be publicly and privately read by agents throughout their respective districts. O. O.

CIRCULAR, ) No. 11. ) Instructions to Assistant Commissioners and other Officers. Each Assistant Commissioner will be careful in the establishment of sub-dis tricts, to have the office of his agent at some point easy of access for the people of the sub-district. He will have at least one agent, either a citizen, military officer or enlisted man, in each sub-district. This agent must be thoroughly instructed in his duties. He will be furnished with the proper blanks for contracts, and will institute methods adequate to meet the wants of his dis trict in accordance with the rules of this Bureau. No fixed rates of wages will be prescribed for a district, but in order to regulate fair wages in given individual cases, tbe agent should have in mind minimum rates for his own guidance.— By careful inquiry as to the hire of an able-bodied man wben the pay went to the master, he will have an approximate test of the value oi labor. He must of coarse consider the entire change of cir cumstances, and be sure that the laborer has due protection against avarice and extortion. Wages had better be secured by aliens on the crops or land. Employ ers are desired to enter into written agree ments with employees, setting forth stated wages, or securing an interets in the land or crop, or both. All such agreements will be approved by the nearest agent, and a duplicate filed in his office. In case there should be no agent within reach the nearest postmaster will forward the duplicate of contracts direct to the As sistant Commissioner for the State. Attention is specially called to section four of the law establishing the Bureau, with regard to setting apart land to “ev ery male citizen, whether 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 freed- men 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. Suffering may result to some ex tent, bat suffering is preferred to slavery MARINE INTELLIGENCE. SA VANN AH, SEPTEMBER 12.
