V SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30. 1865. 8AVMH HBP(IBL!CA!S SAVANNAH: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 30. WHAT IT fOSJS TJ SBE THE SA- Vi'VlN AH ELEPHANT. r •» A.-' * * A POOR “CRACKER” ROBBED! Day before yesterday one of Georgia’s ver dant inhabitants, hailing from one of the in terior counties, visited Savannah for the pur pose of procuring'a large lot of family sup plies. After a sojourn of one day in our city, during which Mr. Very Green made several quite extensive purchases from our merchants, he suddenly became possessed "of an “idee” that he had seen “right smart’’ of the agricul tural pursuits of the Confederacy during the last four years, and he reckoned he would take a peep at ye monstrous elephant, trunk, horns and all. In this mood the verdant peregrina- tor was doomed to remain not long alone, and while indulging in one of those indescribable vacant stares which none but a simple Geor gia “cracker” can give, his meditations were interrupted by a clever fellow who straightway saluted his verdancy a la S'xind/air, and gen erously invited him to imbibe of certain fluids. To the nearest bar-room Mr. “Cracker” and his jolly confidence man quickly repaired, and after “Cracker” had complacently surveyed himself in the gilded mirror, and admiringly 8canned the rich cut bottles that dazzled with tinsel on the shelves, and mingled their bright ness with the silver-plated punch bowl, etc., a second drink was taken for friend ship’s sake. After several vain attempts to pcoop out the delicious beverage which was prepared by the ledgerdemain of a most bland and agile bar-keeper, he threw down the silver strainer in utter disgust, while all smiled at “Cracker’s” expense. What else transpired our prostrate and pitiable “Cracker” cannot tell, but he has a very indistinct recollection of seeing a great many meteors and shooting stars, and thinks he remembers the polite Mons. Sharper bidding him an affectionate farewell while he was in a blissful state. The sequel and moral to this whole story is, that “Cracker” awoke in the dismal confines of a guard house the next morning after his spree, with a bilious headache, an empty purse, a large quantity of virtuous indignation mixed with a little mortification,and some sore experience at this his first attempt to see the Savannah Elephant. The generous showman charged “Cracker” $200 for his ticket to the menagerie, but took $2.25, (probably by mis take) and forgot to return with the change, giving “Cracker” a reserved seat onjthe muddy sidewalk, from whence he was kindly escorted by the police. The last we saw of poor victim ized “Cracker” after his release from military custody, he was rushing frantically down Bay street in search of some kind friend who would loan him sufficient funds to reach his abode of rural bliss, domestic, joy and tranquility in the innocent interior districts. In fact “Crack er,” while laboring under the temporary men tal aberration caused by bad whiskey and the Iosb of his “greenbacks,” roared like a lion, howled like a tiger, moved like an elephant, looked stupid as a monkey, and swore like an army mule driver. Query. What is the difference between country Crackers and city sharpers ? One in nocently believes all, while th£ other adroitly “/•c-dieves” all. Purser Owen, requires no word of eulogy at our hands, the universal esteem in which he is held by those who have expe rienced what it is to have a gentlemanly Purser on board of a steamer; the respect and confidence he enjoys among the business men of Savannah, is the best diplopia we can give him. We disparage none of the steamers of the various lines when we say that a more gentlemanly set of officers than those of the America we have not met. Look Out for Then. There are a great many expert and professional thieves, regular members of the light-fingered fraternity in our city at the present time, who lose no opportuni ty in plying their nefarious occupation. Our citizens, and particularly storekeep ers, will do well to be constantly on then- guard. Look to the fastening of win dows and doors. The America and Her Officers. We were favored yesterday with a very pleasant interview from Captain Lindt and Pjirser Robert H. Owens, of the pop ular steamship America, of the Star Line, and must cordially endorse all that was said in the public resolutions of the good ship and its officers by the delighted pas sengers who took passage in the Ameri ca, from New York to this port, on her last trip. Through the inadvertence of certain parties entrusted with the com plimentary resolutions passed on board the steamer, they were not furnished to the Republican in accordance with the express desire of all the passengers, that both of the Savannah papers should pub lish simultaneously the card of thanks. We make this explanation as we refus ed to publish the card a day after it ap peared in the columns of the Savannah HerahL Our motives for refusing to insert the card, as are well known, were not caused by any ill feeling towards the offi cers of the steamer, but were based solely upon the conduct of those who have, on more than one occasion, refused to ex tend the usual amenities to the Repub- liain, as we believe for purely selfish ag grandizement. To the travelling public, who intend to journey North by water, we have no hes- tation in recommending them to secure a passage on board the America, where they will find comfortable quarters, and courteous officers ready at all times to render the trip an agreoable one to the passengers. •- Captain Lindt, ever, the gentleman,* has enjoyed an excellent reputation on board the elegant steamer United States as the executive officer of that ship, and this is A sufficient guarantee of his nauti cal skill and ability, to warrant all that we can say in his behalf. Purser Robt. H. Owen, whom the Sa- VftQpsb public have dubbed Popular Bold and Daring 1 Robbery—Capture of the Tliieves. Od Thursday night the store of H.Meinhard & Bro., on St. Julian and Bryan street, was robbed of a considerable quantity of miscellaneous goods and about four hundred dollars in bills of the Central Railroad and Marine Bank. The robbers consisted of a gang of five men and five boys, (colored). It seems two of the thieves succeeded iu secreting the mselves in the establishment while the employers were busiiy engaged in the rear of thestore, just before the hourof closing. Thus concealed, the adroit scoundrels remained quietly unobserved, and about twelve o’clock, commenced their rascally operations. The store being a very secure one, they could not effect their escape from the lower floor, either through the doors 0 r windows, and finding themselves in rather a tight place they were obliged to cut the hoisting rope and make their escape by lowering themselves from the second story window. We are glad to chronicle the arrest of several of the gang and the recovery of a portion of the goods aud money. This robbery discloses the fact that a large gang of robbers are now operating in our midst, and it behooves our citizens to be on the alert. A few examples made will have a salutary effect, and we hope the offenders may be speedily brought to justice, and made to understand thoroughly that “by the sweat of his brow man shall earn his daily bread.” Mr. Thomas Wray, of tfie special police, deserves credit for the arrest of these thieves. For his indefatigable exertions, the robbers will receive their just deserts William Adams, Edward Burk, Daniel Big- gius, Edward Gibbons and Sydney Penchum, all colored has been arrested. William Adams and Samuel Higgins were tbp leaders of this band of thieves, who have ho doubt been doing a profitable predatory business for some time past. Two of the party have repented and made a full confession, implicating others, who will soon be in close confinement The confessors, who are shrewd thieves, evinced their adaptation for the unlawful profession in which they have embarked, by secreting them selves in the store, and in so doing have ex hibited a daring and boldness cot often dis played by this class of people. The patients were doing as well as could be expected after so severe an attack of “confis cation” They are now reposing in the com fortable stone hospital back of Forsyth Park, where they will receive the best medical atten tion. The only wounds so far discovered by the physicians in attendance, were iu ffie “pbelinks” of the patients. The greatest ap prehension we have now is for the mental condition of the patient, for they will require more patience than Job ia tfiair present pre carious situation. The disease under whiuh these unhapyy men are now suffering, appears to be of a contagious order and is epidemical in its nature, but we bare no doubt under the skilful medical treatment of Drs. Holbrook and Cowdrey, the tumor will be removed. More Attempts at Robbery. On Wednesday night about ten o’clock a negro man, in attempting to enter the prem ises of a lady on Drayton, near Broughton street, was miraculously d scovered by the police and hailed, when he instinctively broke and ran away with the speed of a deer. The policeman fired his revolver at the fellow, but without effect, and the thief succeeded in ma king good his escape. The policeman, 444, with the pea green hair, auburn eyes, pearly cheeks and rosy teeth, says be fancied he heard the retreating African sing— “Those who steal and run away May live to steal another day.” The lock of the store of E. E. Hertz, on Bay opposite Whitaker street, was foroed on Thurs day night by a negro, who was disoovered by the police, but being remarkably fleet-rooted, suc ceeded in effecting his escape, although pursued some distance by the watchman These feats of pedestrianism are very exciting, and may very appropriately be called the white and black races. On Thursday night, between 7 and 8 o’clock, as Mr. Gillum was proceeding to his mill, cor ner of Habersham street and Perry street lane, he saw a colored man jump from his window and run off. On examination of the premises he found that the fellow, being a mealy-mouthed individual, had placed several bags of grist and meal on the window for re moval, but the untimely appearance of Mr. Gillnm, wbo came inja very unconstitutional manner, frus trated the object of the sable purloiner. Three windows in other portions of the mill were found to be open, the Ethiopian no doubt requiring plenty of ventilation while in the discharge of his arduous duties. We regret that this Scipio Africanus was not permitted te get his fresh air and ventilation through the iron grating of the jail.
