SAVANNAH:
TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT’S 19.

missioner in the Bureau of Freedmen, together
with his staff, arrived injthis city yesterday in the
steamer Nantasket, from Beaufort, South Caroli
na. The General has rooms at the Pulaski
House.

Mail Communication with Charlbstox.—IVe
have been informed that there is now a regular
overland mail communication between this plaoe
and Charleston by stage coaohes. We are glad to
announce this fact, as the mail between these two
cities, but one hundred miles apart, have been
such that we hare scarcely received one mail a
week.
Mail Faciliti*s.—The Postmaster General is
fast completing the mail arrangements in the
late Confederate States. We are now in the
daily receipt of exchanges from every State in
the Union. We have a daily mail to Augnsta
and Charleston, and papers from^ the former
place reach us the day after publication. Our
exchanges from Charleston, however, are re
ceived very irregularly, while papers from the
interior of South Carolina reach us punctually.
Marine Accident.—The steamer Foun
tain, Captain Castner, which left this port on
Saturday last for Palatka and intermediate
points, returned yesterday, having met with an
accident at the “three mile cutoff” by the
breaking of her steam pipe, duriDg a sudden
and heavy squall. By this accident she was
prevented from proceeding on her voyage, and
was compelled to return to the city for the
necessary repairs. The damage is but slight,
however, and she will depart again in a day or
two.

[From the N. Y. Herald, 12th.]
Washington, Sept. 11, 1865.
A large number of Southern men at present in
Washington on business connected with the re
establishment of civil government in their re
spective States, called on the President this
morning by appointment, and bad a loDg and
agreeable interview. They first assembled m .the
east room of the White House, and organized by
calliDg Mr. Phillips, of Alabama, to the chair.
Judge Lockrane stated their object to be to call
upon the President before their departure, as an
act of courtesy, and to express to him their un
qualified confidence in the justice and magna
nimity of the Government in the matter ot re
construction.
On motion, Messrs. Bliss, of Alabama; McFar
land, of Virginia; White of Texas, Cannon, of
South Carolina; Bass, of Arkansas; Wilkins, of
Mississippi; Lockrane, of Georgia, and Baker, of
Florida, were designated to individually present
to the President such persona as weie present
from their respective States.
Mr. McFarland’s Sjieech,
The delegation was admitted soon after eleven
o’clock, and presented to the President as follows
by Mr. McFarland, of Virginia:
Mr. President—The gentleman accompanying
me, and whom I have the honor of introducing
to you, constitute a number of the most respec
table citizens of nine of the Southern States.
They come, sir, for the purpose of manifesting
the sincere respect and regard they entertain for
you, and to express their sincere determination
to co-operate with you in whatever shall tend to
promote the interests and welfare of our common
country, and to say that they are as earnest now
and faithful to their allegiance to the United
States ard to the constitution of the Union as in
the past, and that they have great confidence in
your wisdom to heal the wounds that have been
made, and in vour disposition to exercise all the
leniency which can be commended by a sound
and judicious policy. That they are assured, in
doing this, of your desire and intention to sus
tain aDd maintain Southern rights in the Union
ol the United States.
President Johnson's' Reply.
The President was surprised at the imposing
appearance of the delegation, and was evidently
much aflected in reply. Every gesture and ut
terance was full of subdued eloquence. The re
ply was as follows :
Gviiml'-I can only say, in reply to the re
marks of your chairman, that I am highly grati
fied to receive the assurances he hag given me.
They are more than I could have expected under
the circumstances. I must say I was unprepared
to receive so numerous a delegation on this occa
sion; it was unexpected; I had do idea it w is to
be bo large or represent so many States. WheD
I expressed as I did my willingness to see at any
time so many of you as chose to do me the honor
to call upon me, and stated that I should be grati
fied at receiving any manifestations of regard you
might think proper to make, 1 was totally un
prepared for anything equal to the present de
monstration. I am free to say i^excites iu my
mind feelings and emotions that language is
totally inadequate to express. W hen I look back
upon my past actions and recall a period scarcely
more than four short years ago, when I stood bat
tling lor principles which many of you opposed
and thought were wrong, I was ba tling for the
same principles that aciuate me to-day, and
which principles I thank my God you have come
forwaid on this occasion to manifest a disposition
to support. I say now. as I have said on many
former occasions, that I entertain no personkT
resentments, enmities or animosities to any living
soul south ot Mason and Dixon’s fine however
much he may have differed from me iu principle.
The stand I then took I claim to have been the
only true one. I remember how they stood with
their hats in their hands ready to turn their
backs upon the United States; how I implored
them to stand with me there and maintain our
rights and fight-our battles under the laws and
constitution of the United States.
I think now, as I thought then, and en
deavored to induce them to believe, that our
true position, was under the law and under the
constitution of the Union with the institution
of slavery in it; but if that principle made an
issue which should prevent us from transmit
ting to our children a country as bequeathed
to us by our fathers—I had nothing else to do
but stand by the government, be the conse
quences what they might; I said then, what
you all know, that I was for the institutions
of the country as guaranteed by the constitu
tion, but above all things 1 was for the UnioD
of the States. I remember the taunts, the
jeers, the scowls with which I was treated. I
remember the circle that stood around me, and
remember the threats and intimidations that
were freely uttered by the men who opposed
me, and whom I wanted to befriend and guide
by the light that led me ; but feeling conscious
in my own integrity, and that I was right, I
heeded not what they might say or do to me,
and was inspired and encouraged to do my du
ty regardless of aught else, aDd have lived to
see the realization of my predictions and the
fatal error of those whom I vainly essayed to
save from the results I could not but foresee.
Gentlemen, we have passed through this re
bellion. I say we, for it was we who are re
sponsible for it. Yes, the South made the is
sue, and 1 know the nature of the Southern
people well enough to know that when they
have become convinced of an error they frank
ly acknowledge it, in a manly,, open, direct
manner; and now, in the performance of that
duty, or indeed, in any act they undertake to
perform, they do it heartily and frankly ; and
now that they come to me I understand them
as saying that: “We made the issue. We set
up the union of the States against the institu
tion of slavery; we selected as arbitrator the
God of battles,- the arbitrament was the sword.
The issue was fairly and honorably met. Both
the questions presented have been settled
against us, and we are prepared to accept the
issue.” I find on all sides this spirit of can
dor and honor prevailing. It is said by all:
The issue was ours, and the judgment has been
given against us,- and the decision having
been made against us, we feel bound in honor
to abide by the arbitrament. In doing this we
are doing ourselves no dishonor, and shonid
not feel humiliated or degraded,' but rather
that we are ennobling ourselves by our action;
and we should feel that the government has
treated us magnanimously, and meet the gov
ernment upon the terms. it has so magnani
mously proffered us. So far as I am con
cerned, personally, 1 was uninfluenced by any
question, whether it affects the North or the
South, the East or the West. I stand where I
did of old, battling for the constitution and the
onion of ihese United States. In doing so 1
know 1 oppose some ot you gentlemen of the
South when this doctrine of secession was being
urged upon the country, snd the declaration of
your right to break up the government and dis
integrate the Union was made. I stand to-day,
as I have ever stood, firmly in the opinion that
if a monopoly contends against this country the
monopoly must go down, and the country must
go up Yes, the issue was made by the South
against the government, and the government has
triumphed; and the South tras to her ancient
instincts ot frankness and manly honor, cornea
forth and expresses her willingness to abide the
result of the decision in good faith. While I
thirk that the rebellion has been arrestee and
sabdued, and am bappy in tbs consciousness ot a
duty well performed, I went Tot only yon. bnt
tbs people of tits world to know tut «bU« I
dreaded and feared disintegration of the States, I
am equally opposed to consolidation or concen
tration of power here, under whatever guise or
name; and if the issue is forced upon us, 1 shall,
still endeavor to pursue the same efforts to dis
suade from this doctrine of runningto extremes;
but 1 say let the same rules be applied. Let the
constitution be onr guide. Let the preservation
of that and the UDion of the States be our princi
pal aim. Let it be onr hope that the government
may be perpetual, and that the principles of the
government founded as they are on right and
justice, may be handed down without spot or
blemish to our posterity. As I have before re
marked to you I am gratified to see so many of
you here to-day. It manifests a spirit I am pleas
ed to observe. ■
I know it has been said of me that my as
perities are sharp, that I bad'vindictive feelings
to gratify, and that I should not fail to avail
Governor ?” Judge Fisher replied, “That is yet
to be decided-’’ In conversation with Colonel
Fannin, of Georgia, reference was had to Mr.
Seward of Georgia, and his recent visit to Wash
ington. These and other incidents showed that
Mr Seward keeps himself tboiougblv informed
about the condition of affairs in the several
States.
Thus pleasantly did the evening pass away, so
that it may be emphatically termed a re-union.
Mr. Seward expressed bis gratification at the
state of good feeling that prevailed, add, referring
to the feet that there were several English gen
tlemen present, he said he was glad such an oc
currence had taken place, and that these gentle
men were with cs to witness it.

He made a delicate reference to the effort tha^ ^ T Wooley, ®* w ^* naT *^ e »

done on my part, on correct principles;
on the principles of» the constitution, to
promote these ends, be assured it shall be
done. Let me assure you, also, that there
is no disposition on the part of the gov
ernment to deal harshly with the Southern*
people. There may be speeches published from
various quarters that may breathe a different
spirit. Do not let them trouble or excite you,
but believe that it is, as it is, the great object
Several gentlemen promptly said tho assassin
ation was not the act of the rebels; that true
hearted Southerners scorned the act and despis
ed the perpetrators.
The foregoing are some of the incidents of the
evening, but not all. There were many gentle
men from the South present, mainly from South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.—
All took part in the conversation freely, and all
went away pleased with the great Secretary of
State and other members of the President’s Cabi

men—as men who see right and are determined , formed of the matter.
All the postal and fractional currency, both
to follow it as fathers and brothers, and as men
who love their country in this hour of trial and
suffering—why cannot we come up and help to
settle the questions of the hour and adjust them
according to the principles of honor and of jus
tice? The institution of slavery is gone. The
former status of the negro had to be changed,
and we, as wise men, must recognize so patent
a fact and adapt ourselves to circumstances as
they snrround us. (Voices—We are willing
to do so. Yes, sir, we are willing to do so.)
I believe you are. I believe when your faith
is pledged, when your consent has been given,
as I have already said, I believe it wiH be main
tained in good faith, and every pledge or prom
ise fully carried out (Cries—It will.) All I
ask or desire of the South or the North, the
East or the West, is to be sustained in carrying
out the principles of the constitution.
It is not to be denied that we have been great
sufferers on both siaes. Good men have fallen
ou both sides and much misery is being endured
as the necessary result of so gigantic a contest.
Why, then, cannot we come together, and around
the common altar of our country£eal the wounds
that have been made ? Deep wounds have been
inflicted. Our country has been scarred all over.
Then why cannot we approach each other upon
principles which are right in themselves and
which will be productive of good to all ? The
day is not distant when we shall leel like some
family that have had a deep and desperate feud,
the various members of which have come to
gether and compared the evils and sufferings
they had inflicted upon each other. They had
seen the influence of their error and its result,
and, governed by a generous spirit of concilia
tion, they bad become mutually forbearing and
forgiving and returned to their old habits ot fra
ternal kindness, and become better friends than
ever. Then let us consider that the feud which
alienated us bas been settled and adjusted to our
mutual satisfaction, and that we come together
to be bound by firmer bonds of love, respect and
confidence than ever. The North cannot get
along without the South, nor the South from the
North, the East from the West, nor the West
from the East; aDd I say it is our duty to do all
that in our power lies to perpetuate and make
stronger the bonds of our Union, seeing that it
is for the common Rood of all that we Hiiould be
uDited. I teel that this Union, though but the
creation of a century, is to be perpetuated for all
time, and that it cannot be destroyed except by
the all-wise God who created it. Gectlemen, I
repeat I sincerely thank you for the respect man
ifested on this occasion ; and for the expressions
of approbation and confidence please accept my
sincere thanks.
Mr. McFarlands Rejoinder.
Mr. President—On behalf ot this delegation 1
return you my sincere thanks for your kind, gen
erous—aye, magnanimous—expressions of kindly
feeling towards the people of the South.
The remarks of President Johnson were fre
quently interrupted by applause, and all seemed
highly gratified by the interview.
Secretary Seward’s Recent Reception.
The reception at Mr. Seward’s passed ott very
agreeably. It was the occasion for the inter
change. of many civilities and expressions of
kindness.
The several delegations were introduced by
Hon. P. Phillips.
Mr. Seward’s Georgia Reminiscences.
When the Georgia delegation was presented
Mr. Seward alluded to the tact that he had resided
in Georgia, and taught school there in early life.
He inquired it aDy ot his old pupils were present.
Judge Bingham replied that there were none
present, but that he was himselt a native of the
county adjoining the one in which Mr. Seward
had resided, and kuew that local traditions
there preseived the memory ol his lormer admin
istration.
“You would find it pleasant,” said the Judge
“to visit Georgia, and would be hospitably re
ceived.”
Mr. Seward replied that were he more capable
of undergoing fatigue and less pressed with other
engagements, be would gladly go; for he enter
tained sentiments of great kindness and respect
for the people of Georgia.
Attorney Genial S/ieed’s Remarks ou Recon
struction.
The circumstance was soon afterwards mention
ed in the hearing of the Attorney General, and
reference was (also made to] tho fact that Mr.
Trumbull, of Illinois, commenced the business of
life in Georgia. The reply of Mr. Seward to the
invitation of Judge BiDgbam gave rise to some
remarks in regard to the feeliDgs of the people
and the work of reconstruction or restoration.—
The Attorney Geoeral said in substance that he
rejoiced to see the era of good feeling so rapidly
returning. That the peop e of the South had
fought lor a great stake, and had fought gal
lantly. The issue bad gone against them, and
it was necessary that they should accept the
resnlt; while all just principles of fraternity
pointed the government to walk in the path of
magnanimity and to restore the Union fully at
as ea-ly a day as practicable upon constitu
tional principles, only requiring that what had
been won by the military should not he yielded
by the oivil servants of the people.
Remarks of Judge Bingham.
Judge Biugham said tbe people of the South
had placed the great issues that had for so muDy
yeata produced discord upon the arbitrament of
arms. That arbitrament had gone against them,
and farther resistance was looked npon by th
just minded, thinking men as hopolcssly futile,
and as even partaking somewhat of dishonor.
An Interesting Colloquy.
Upon this subject Mr, Seward remarked that
tbe policy ot the UovernmeDt was to restore and
improve, not to iDjure or destroy.
‘ Thus,” said he, “the President has said to tbe
large mass—those who were below the rank ot
colODel, and who were pursuing the humbler
walks of life :—‘You shall have present amnesty.
With others, who occupied positions to be lead
ers in the rebellion, and whose situations in life
were such as to give them influence, the adminis
tration must necessarily proceed more cautiouB-
ly.’ ”
A desire was expressed by several that the
government would at an early day adopt a gener
al amnesty. Mr. Seward said be hoped the
States would all be in their appropriate places
soon. For the present the government must
make sure work ot preserviog the peace of tbe
nation.
Mr. Bliss, of Alabama, facetiously inquired if,
in cases where parties did not bare tbe twenty
thousand dollars making the thirteenth excep
tion. the Government would make it up to them.
Mr. Seward replied that it would make it up
to them in kindness and in good will, and tbe
preservation of peace and quiet for themselves
and their families.
When Judge Fisher, of Mississippi, was pre-
*anted, "So, Raid Jit. Sewaid, "you intend to be
that printed in New York and that printed in
the Treasury, except the very last issues print
ed at the Treasury, have been connterfeited.
Nearly all the denominations of the so-called
“greenback” or “legal tender” notes printed
in New York have been counterfeited or altered
to higher denominations, viz :
Ones—both counterfeited and altered to tens.
Twos—altered to fifties.
Twenties—counterfeited.
Fifties—counterfeited.
One hundred—counterfeited.
None of the notes (except fractional) which
have been printed in the Treasury have been
counterfeited. The five, six, seven-and-three-
tenths per cent, notes, compound interest notes,
&c., have all so far escaped imitation by the
counterfeiter. It is only those printed in New
York that have been successfully imitated
The currency of the national banks has not
yet been counterfeited, notwithstanding the re
port to that effect. These notes were designed
at the Treasury Department and executed in
New York. When they are executed accord
ing to the original design it is believed they,
like the five, six and seven-and-three-tenths
per cent, notes, will defy the counterfeiters
skill. '
GEORGIA ITEMS.
Income of the Georgia Railroad.—The
gross income of the Georgia Railroad for the
month-of August, was over one hundred and fif
ty thousand dollars.
An Unfortunate Accident—An elderly man
met with a very serious accident on the evening
of the 13th inst, at the river bank at Augusta —
It appears that he was wending his way to Ham
burg, and, preferring the jailroad to the foot
bridge, essayed to cross it. Unfortunately fir
him, some of the planks had been removed, and
the old gentleman, not remarking this in the
dark, went on as before, only to fall through the
bridge on the rockt beneath. His injuries are se
rious. He was lyiDg this morniDg in the
plaoe on which he fell last evening, and had met
with no assistance.
Lincoln Countv.—The Rev. John S. Dunn
and Jas. W. Barksdale, Esq , have been nomina
ted as candidates for the convention.
Messrs. Stephens and RBAGAN.-The Bos
ton Advertiser of the 19th, contradicts, from
personal knowledge, the report that Mr. Ste
phens was uncomfortably confined and unkindly
treated at Fort Warren. The dampness of his
quarters is shared in by the officers in their
rooms, is attributable to local causes, and is
remedied by fires, whenever desired. Mr. Ste
phens’ health is what it always was, very deli
cate ; he is treated with the utmost kindness,
and is granted every privilege compatible with
his position as a State prisoner. Heis allowed
to commute his ratlbns in money, and his meals
sent him from the officers’ mess, sharing the
expense equally with him. A corporal is de
tailed to wait on him, and through the senti
nel before his window he can communicate his
wishes at all hours. He is not restricted to his
quarters, however, but having given his parole,
is allowed to walk where, and as much as he
plpases on the islaDd, between reveille and re
treat, except for one hour in the day, when Mr.
Reagan is out taking exercise. Mr. Stephens’
parole allows him to speak to no one except
the commissioned officers of the garrison. He
spends mo=t of hig time in his room writing.
He exj resses himself, says the Advertiser, per
fectly satisfied with bis treatment.
Mr. Reagan occupies rooms dll the same floor
with and quite near those of Mr. Stephens
He walks daily on tbe ramparts, in company
with a commissioned officer.
An Honest Soldier.—A letter has just been
received by the Paymaster General, postmarked
at Cincinnati, Ohio, but without date or signa
ture, and nothing to indicate where the writer is,
unless it may bo the postmark. This letter con-
taioed a $100 greenback, which the writer says is
that much more than he is entitled to. He says
he made ont his account against the Government,
and ptaaed it in the hands of a .paymaster, who
collected it and sent it to him. Upon making a
second calculation, he divcovered the mistake and
inclosed the $100 to the Paymaster General. The
money will be returned to the Treasury, as tbe
Paymaster General does not know what paymas
ter to credit it to.
