SAVANNAH
Matters begin to look decidedly brighter in
this particular locality ; not that anything new
has been done, but from the apparent determi
nation, on all sides," to use the defenses we have
to tne best advahtage. The fate of New Or
leans has infused a ue_w spirit into the hearts
of our people. They begin to comprehend the
real dangers to which the country is exposed,
and to summon the pluck and provide the
means necessary to meet them successfully.—
There is no telling what a stout, determined
heart may do, even though it should be in a
body physically weak ; ami Georgians are be
coming disposed to test this moral power to the
utmost. No place with Savannah’s disadvan
tages ol attack and facilities for defense, has
yet been made to succumb to tlie enemy,
strong as he is ; and from this we gather con
fidence for the struggle to come.
Many ot our mast important batteries have
been strengthened materially in the iast two
weeks, by the introduction into the earthworks
of powerful resisting substances. Past experi
ence, though, proves that thorough and heavy
obstructions in the clannelof our river, under
the protection of our guns, must be the main
reliance for our safety. -Something has been
done in this way - arethe authorities sure that
all has been done that is practicable with the
means at our command ? If not, they should
not rest, day or nigh , until the work shall
have been completed. If overpower d, let there
be no self-condemnatior, nothiug to look back
to with regret. Tardiness at New Orleans lost

gone far toward preventing earlier recognition.

which rendered it hopeless r or the opposition

others, however, gave vent to their feelings, by

your Southern chivalry;” “Oh, what a set of
ragamuffins,'' Ac. The prisoners looked defi
ance at them, however, and treated all sueh,
who so expressed themselves, with the utmost
contempt.
Passing into Madison street they proceeded
toward thc jail, followed by an immense’erowd.
NVhen near the jail building, a citizen living in
the \ icinity appeared at his window, with sev
eral children, who shouted vociferously for Jeff
ltavis, whereupon severrl of the prisoners tur
ned towards them and became so excited as to
take up tne shout, iu .-spite the presence of
the armed guard, cheered for Jeff. Davis with
a hearty good will, raising their caps to those in
the windows.
Thc crowd caught the infection, and shouts
of “Go it, boys; them’s my sentftnents;” “We
are not all Yankees here;. nary a time;”—
“We’re with you if we bad a chance;” and
similar exlamations were heard. Arriving at
the jail gate, thec^owd made another rush to
get an opportunity to shake hands, but were
pressed buck, and ;he prisoners were marched
inside the jail building and delivered over to
Captain James, who provided them with quar
ters in the northern corridor of the building.
The outside gate was soon besieged by a
large number of people, all claiming the right
to enter upon various pretexts. Cjuite a num
ber did obtain ingress, and conversed freely
with the prisoners, who seemed quite •commu
nicative and gratified at thc attention paid to
them.
A majority of them are very young men,
and are very intelligent A great many pres

homes, ar.d not in the battle of Winchester.

with their Minnie carbines. I jumped over

None of these shots struck me; but a fine
looking fellow rode up on my right and said,
“secesh, you might as well-surrender, your

word “secesh,’ and I threw my sword in his
face, hut the plagued thing was so dull it did
not even cut the skin. I then put the muzzle
of the pistol I had, which belonged to Colonel
Preston, and which waq given him by Colonel
Echols—on the ground, and succeeded in
breaking the stock off. The fellow did not
shoot me for this, but just before I snapped my

One ol the biggest elephants the Yankees
have caught in this war is the one they have
name “contraband.” They can’t feed him, they
can’t find stable room for him, they can’t find
anybody who will have him as a gift, in fact,
they don’t know what to do with him.
In the debate in the United States Congress
on the abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia, Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, who
by the way, wasjiot taken prisoner at Shiloh,
and who seems to have more brains titan gene
rally has fallen to the lot of his fellows in Con

done with Jho elephant, auil in the course of

neighborhood called upon him the evening be

respects. He found him in his office, and told
him that he came for that purpose, and to bid
him good bye. ‘And nyw, Judge,’ said he,
‘when you get to Washington, 1 want to have
you take hold of this negro business, and dis
pose of it in some way or other; have slavery
abolished and he done with it.’ ‘Well,’said
the Judge, ‘as the people who own these slaves,
or claim to own them, have paid their money
for them and hold them as their property un-
uer their State laws, would it not be best, if we
abolish slavery that some provision should be
made to niHKe them compensation ?’ He hesi

at Gen. Beauregard having addressed his dis

that tlie latter was in command.
The messenger now returned, when Gen. Mc

We are informed that the sutlers of the Fede

for provisions. These facts ought to establish-
contidence in it even whert* other and nobler
impulses fail. There should be no disposition
among our people on the frontier to refuse it.
It is tiie mainstay of the Confedeiacy, and the
