SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.
r From Our Special Correspondent.]
New York, Oct. 14, 1865.
In a Republic, or in any form of Government
the pulsation of the popular will should not be
disregarded. Early in the present week intelli
gence reached this city from Baltimore, that an
expreeion of discontent, hitherto smouldering, had
arisen amoDgst the operative tradesmen of that
city, to the effeot that negro hands in akilled.la-
bor wero superseding the whites—not in the ex
cellence of the work the blacks performed, but be
cause the wages paid them were below the atau
dad at which men should be paid. Henoe the
carpenters, and, indeed, according to the most
authentic accounts received, the men of every
trade in Baltimore, struck, to pnt down negro
labour. The result of this first move in the pre*
raises was that all the white artisans of the sev
eral trades ceased and relu.ed to work on the
terras which the employers proposed, in reference
to negro labor. This interruption to the ordinary
daily occupations of the several trades produced
anything bat a Eatisfaotory state of things to. the
employers, as well as the employed, and in a
spirit of good will and in order to have, the case
adjusted as speedily and as amicably as possible,
the operatives appointed delegates to wait on the
employers and bring the matter to a satisfactory
issue. The employers received the delegates with
a friendly exterior, but refused to comply with
the strikers in their demands on the subject of
negro labor, and pay. Nothing new has as yet
transpired on the subject, and the little commotion
as it stands might give rise to the reflection that
thero must be something wrong in the relations
between the employers and, the-employed in Bal
timore, in reference to white and negro artistic
skiii and physical ability, for Maryland was the
first state in Union which deolared for freedom to
every man, irrespective of ooior, sect or creed,
and there must be something in the local affairg
of Baltimore, or the intelligent Operatives in skil
led labor there would not exhibit any symptoms
of retogression in the scale of human liberty.
The Trades of New York '.
The operative trades of New YorkJ are bestir
ring themselves on the question of the eight hourg
a day movement. The carpenters met on Wed.
nesday evening and resolved upon carrying the
project into effect of establishing eight instead of
ten as the hours of daily labor.
The meeitng held in Washington Hall, Eigth
Avenue, was numerously attended, and. the
discourses pronounced, by the several speakers
all of the working carpenter class, were replete
with practical common sense, and the men who
were called upon by the chairman to speak on
the subject, proved that the body of which
they were the exponents in public, were men
of profound practical knowledge in the affairs
of social life and political economy.
Races and Charioteering.
On Wednesday there was an animated ex
hibition of charioteering over the Fashion
Course, on Long Island. Contrary to general
expectation, the correspondent of a newspaper
cannot be like the Irish Baronet’s bird; in two
places at the same. time. Your present writer
was in New York city whilst the mimic revivals
of Greek and Roman charioteering were in ac
tive operation at thel’aterson raced^a few mile 8
off. There wer* wonderful performances at
those races, if we are to be led to that con
clusion by the opinions of many tongned re
ports, not two of which agree in outline or
detail. The whole thing, it appears, was
simply a racing day over a fine course, pre
senting a great variety of equestrian feats,
such as are of frequent occurrence on every
race ground, including the accidents which
are inseparable from a steeple chase, there be
ing “scccral spills," but no bones broken. The
principal feature in the days’ enjoyment was a
representation of the Greek custom of lady
charioteering after the model,of the chariot of
dre Sun. Those ladies (two in number)
teemed to realise the idea of the original pas
time as recorded by ancients, and translated by
the Lord knows who; but apart from the female
agility exhibited in tjje circus, the charioteering!
reust have been far beneath thst of the boy
*ho fen i n to the sea and was drowned some
where in the Adriatic, and the best and most
pleasing events of the day were those which
“fended the good and manly and well nnder-
£ toud exercise of the steeple chase. The
! P“rts on this occasion were brought to a con
tusion on Thursday, when the three principal
an i concluding races were won by :
first—Nannie Craddock.

the paper, written rather slip-shod and earnestly
addressed; but the question arises “irom whom
did it emanate, and who are ths anonymous
counsellors who withhold their names 1” The
thing, I understand, is regarded with derision be-
canse-of the veil of obsourity Under which if ap
pears. The parties who 1 ave issued this piece of
voluntary advioe have lagged in Religion to
fortify their *eal in lack of argument, but it i*
the opinion of those most competent to forma
correct judgment that a man of a religious turn
of miod has no business in beeoming a soldier or
a politician. The great Daniel O'Connell said,
and often repeated it to bis hearers: "When
ever you see a man turn up the whites of his eyes
and make professions of religion, if _he be near
you, that moment button up your breeohes pock
ets.’’ O’Connell was right—such characters ere
a’ways to be regarded with distrust sad sutpioion.
In Ireland at present and for some time past th e
reading of a particular newspaper or. the expres
sion of political opinions opposed to some men who
vaunt their religious propensities, wonid be cense
sufficient to deprive a man of the means ef earn
ing his bread- hence a poor sehool teacher or a
commercial clerk would be dtsiUiisUd from his
petty office and sent adrift on the world without
food or moneyto buy it, his only erhae fating* the
reading, of a certain newspaper. This is th*
system pursued by religious men in their method
of madness for making converts,. and .with .eyes

more or less, or scarcely, anything at all above
or be'ow the prescribed standard. And what is
that prescribed standard? Why some of the
votaries coaid not advance an idea further than
their own personal in torests-t-fhat- they had sworn
an oath of allegiance to British rule, or misrule.

English Detectives in America.
By the last steamer which arrived in New
York a number o£ detective officers from the
London police force landed and proceeded ac
cording to orders from the British government
to their respective -Stations, th watch and re
port the movements of the Fenian Brother
hood. Some are stationed in New York, and
some proceeded to Chicago, where it is alleged
the organization is numerous and effective.

and which resalted in the death of the unof

A woman was stabbed by her husband in

A sad affair occurred yesterday evening in
Prince street, arising out of an illicit inter
course between a woman rather advanced jn
life and her paramour. The circumstances
are thus narrated by the morning papers :
A Son Shoots His Mother.
An exciting affray took place at a late hour
last evening, at No. 94 Prince street, where a
young man, Darned Henry Gerkin, shot hi*
mother, her lover and himself. It appears that
Gerkin, who was partially intoxicated, was
endeavoring to get his mother away from
Henry Hiller, her lover, who keeps a grocery
store at the above number. He became en
raged at her refusal to comply with his re
quest, and a pistol which he carried exploded,
the ball lodging in bis leg. He then drew the
revolver, took deliberate aim and shot his
mother, the ball taking effect in the nose and
lodging in the left jaw. A third and fourth
shot were fired, one of which grazed Hiller’s
some cases of importance before the courts of
General Sessions, amongst which are the case
of Dr. Charles Cobel, the abortionist; Wag
ner, charged with the murder of his wife, and
the case of Peter R. Slowly. The case of
Cobel is one of unusual interest, as he i 8
charged with having caused the death of a
young lady by an abortion.
Charges Against the City Officials.
Yesterday, Governor Fenton, in pronounc
ing judgment and dismissing the charges
against the city officials, said ;
“The power to remove, certain officials for
misconduct or-malversation in office, was vested
in the governor of the state for wise purposes;
it is a high and responsible power, and it
should only be exercised upon clear, positive
and undoubted proof of misconduct. In thiq
case it is plain to me that the evidence ifl
wholly insufficient to justify me in its exercise.
I therefore dismiss the charges.” *

The market during the week was firm and
fairly active. The arrivals have been considera
ble, and sales for immediate use, and for export
and speculation, have been also very considerable.
The receipts of 30,000 bales in four days, from
Monday to Thursday inclusive, has had no de
pressing; bat rather a buoyant effect on the mar
ket. There were 6,000 bales of middlings, up
lands and Orleans, sold on Thursday at 53 to SOo
Upon the whole the market is buoyant, and the
prices satisfactory to the seller and buyer.

Disturbance in a Greene St. Brothel.
Last evening a young man who gives his
name to the police as Horatio F. Jones, en-*
gaged in a quarrel with Mary Ann Johnson,
in Mary Anne Sbew’s brothel, in Greene st.,
near Bleeker, and at length thrust her from a
front window. One ef her-legs wab severely
cut, but she was not otherwise injured. Jones
was arrested .by Officer John Crown, and
locked up in the Eighth precinct station-
house, and the female was taken to the same
place, where her wonnd was dressed by Dr.
Freligh.
I refer to the foregoing because they are of

* Ecclesiastical Convention.
The ecclesiastical convention . is holding its
deliberations in Philadelphia, something after
the fashion of the whole system of human ex
istence, light and shade, sun shine and show
ers, but no material ebullition nor motion cf
serious discord appears above the surface;
things go rather smoothly on, but an event has
attended this assemblage of the elders which
throws a sensation of grief over a wide-spread
circle of friends and acquaintances in the fol
lowing announcement which I extract from
an authentic source :

In the article ot flour from the Western States,

seem to be confined to the supply of presen t wants
without alteration, in any material degree, from
rates lately quoted.
The Stock Exchange.
A curious array of tabulnr matter, extending
over three columns of the New York Herald of
yesterday morning, sets forth that for the year
ending 80th June, 1865, tbe figures representing
the amount of money sold by stock brokers to
be $6,078,708,818—that is more than three times
the amount of tbe national debt due by tbe United
States, and the duty or Government revenue aris
ing thereon, was over three and a half millions. A
grand system of Bulla and Bears.
The Money Market.
Tbe feverish and intermittent pulsations which
pervaded the money market since the unnatural
and exotie jump from 46 1-2 to 49 iu the course
of a few hour* has suffered a collapse, and Bulls
and Bears and all species of the geni of money
dealers and jabbers have bad time to look about
for other squalls, and to those who have been
unsnccasafui or wide of the figure in speculation
in buying or beUiog'fbr tbe account,tbe hours in
tervening-must have been sleepless. They might
say with Medora:
'And many a sleepless hour outwatched each star’
And morning came and still thou wert afar.”
Not the Cobsxik but the gains they speculated
on realizing. There was some activity in the
market yesterday, but the value of gold, al
though fluctuating in small decrees, closed at
144 7-8, the opening price at half-past 10 o’clock
being 144 8-4, ana this day tbe market opened
languidly at the same figure. Gicsaom.

Martial Law No Longer in
^ Force in Kentucky.
THE PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION
Important Naval Court Martial.
THE OBJECT OF GENERAL HOWARD’S
MISSION TO THE SOUTH,
Ac., &c., &c.,
The President’s Proclamation Abolishing Mar
tial Law.
Whereas, by a proclamation of the 5th of
July, 1864, the President of the United States,
when the civil war wag flagrant and when
combinations were in progress in Kentucky for
the purpose of inciting insurgent raids into
that State, directed that the proclamation sus
pending the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus should be made effectual in Kentucky,
and that martial law should be established
there and continue until said proclamation
should be revoked or modified; and whereas,
since then the danger from insurgent raids into
Kentucky has substantially passed away :
Now, therefore, be it known that I( Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, by
virtue of the authority vested in me by the
constitution, do hereby declare that the said
proclamation of the fifth day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, shall
be and' is hereby modified in so far that martial
law shall be no longer in force in Kentucky
from and after the date hereof.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my band and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this twelfth
day of October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-five,
and of the independence of the United
States of America, the ninetieth.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
By the President:
Wm. Hustek, Acting Secretary of State
Washington, Oct. 12, 1865.
Naval Court Martial.
The Navy Department has ordered a general
court martial to convene at Washington on tbe
1st of November, composed of the following
officers : Vice Admiral D. G. Farragut, Rear
Admiral niram Paulding, Rear Admiral Chas.
R. Davis, Rear Admiral J. A. Dahlgren, Com
modore Missroon,Commodore Thomas Tnrner,
Commodore James S. Palmer, Commodore
J. A. Winslow, Captain S. P. Lee, Captain
M. Smith. Captain James Alden. As this is a
solid court, it is conjectured that persons high
on the navy list are to come before it; but their
names are not promulgated.
Gen. Howards Mission to the South.
Tbe following order explains fully the object
of the mission which General Howard started
npon a few days since :
General Orders—No. 145.
Wak Departjcbwt, )
Washington, Oct. 9, 1865. J
Whereas certain tracts of land situated on
the coast of Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida, at the time for the most part va
cant, were set apart by Major Gen. W. T.
Sherman’s special field order, No. 15, for the
benefit of refugees and freedmen that had been
congregated by tbe operations of the war or
bad been left to take care of themselves by
their former owners; and whereas an expecta
tion was thereby created that they would be
able to retain possession of said lands; and
whereas a large number of the former owners
are earnestly soliciting a restoration of the
same, and promising to absorb the labor and
care for the freedmen,
It is ordered that Major General Howard,
Commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees,
Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, proceed to
the several above named States and endeavor
to effect an arrangement mutually satisfactory
to tbe freedmen and said owners and make re
port, and in ( case a mutually satisfactory
arrangement can be made, he is duly empow
ered and directed to issue such orders as may
become necessary after a full and careful inves
tigation of the interests of tbe parties con
cerned.

The Reduction of the Army.
Lieutenant General Grant has returned, and
is now prepared to carry out the plan, already
agreed upon, for thd reduction of tbe army to
a standard required only for the ordinary con
dition of tbe country in times of tranquility at
home and peace abroad.
Soul hern Mail Service.
Preparations are now making for the great
Southern mail lettings. The Department is reedy
and willing to revive all the former accomodations,
but than is difficulty in finding suitable men who
have not been engaged in rebellion, and who can
take their prescribed oath.
Interview of Judge Lochrane, of Georgia, with
the President.
Judge Lochrane, of Georgia, had an interview
oi nearly two hours’ length with President John
son this forenoon. The eonversation took a aide
range and eabraoed everything connected with
reconstruction in the South. The Judge’s record
during war is notforgotten by the President and
his wishes and opinions, as a consequenoe, are
probably given some consideration.
The Freedmen of Tennessee.
The Freedmen’s Commissioner lor the State
of Tennessee reports that, aside from the issue of
of rations to the inmates of hospitals, no freed*
men in that State are receiving aid from the gov
ernment. This satifaetory condition of affairs
has been brought about with great prompitude,
as by the report of the Commissioner lor the
month of September it appeared that there were
nearly one thousand freedmen dependent upon
thegovernment lor food. The labor system is re
ported to be working harmoniously, and good
order and tranquility generally prevail.
The Reported Complicity of General Slocum in
Cotton Speculation.
Tbe subject of cottoa speculating being under
discussion by a knot Of retired operators on the
tbe street to-day, tbe story so industriously circu
lated by the republican press about General Slo
cum’s complicity in cottoa operations at Vicks
burg was alluded to and received with a hearty
laugo. Several gentlemen cherished lively re
collections of the difficulties encountered in en
deavoring to use Geo. Slocum’s Angers in getting
cotton away from Mississippi, and instanced a
caw where a favorite staff officer was' dismissed
by him for consenting to act as supplicant in be
half of speculators. Ail agreed that General Slo
cum's reign 'in Vicksburg was the darkest ot all
the waryear* for colton speculations ia Missis
sippi. Their evidanoe possesses the merit of im
partiality, at least.
Negro Laborers in Demand in Michigan.
A railroad company in Michigan have lately
made application to the Freedmen’s Bureau for
four hundred negro laborers to be employed iu
tiie construction of a new line of road in that
State. They offer to pay such laborers eighiy-
rnvea and a half cents per day and board them.—
The proper officers of the Bureau are fipw eu-

Intercession in Behalf of Jeff. Davis‘
Tbe committee appointed by the ]ate Souffi
Carolina Convention to intercede in behailf. of
Jefferson Davis had an interview with the
President to-day.
The Exclusion of Prominent Rebel Officers aa
" TKifnesscs in the Wirs Trial.
It appears to have been assumed from tbe
report of the proceedingsrin the Wire ease on
Saturday last that the position of the Judge
Advocate on the point of excluding as wit
nesses for tbe defence prominent rebel officers,
on the ground of incompetency, by reason of
their having been engaged in rebellion, was
ruled on and sustained by tbe commission.—
Such was not the fact. The counsel for the
accused, in reply to an inquiry by the Presi
dent of the Court, stated that he would not
insist on tbe attendance of those witnesses,
and there the matter ended—the President
stating there was nothing before the Coart foe
decision on that point.
