The Firemen were decidedly in the ascendant
yesterday. It wa* difflcult to get out of light of a
rtd eoat or tit* bearing of the tinkling bells. To
all tbc partU* engaged, U was truly a Jubilee, and
wa war* pleased to see that our Charleston guests
M pitched into" the occasion with so decided a
relish.
About 9 o'clock, all tbe white Fir* Companies
of the city, accompanied by tbeir guests, the
jBtna Fir* Company, from Charleston, assembled
at the foot of the Bay, ell looking well and in line
spirit*. At 10 o'clock they fell into line, and tbe
procession formed in the following order: The
Oglethorpe esoorted the column, followed by the
JBtaa Company; next came tbe Washington,
Young America and tbe Oermania companies,
whllt the rear was broogbt up by ao odd looking
amateur collection of sailors and boys in charge
of an old angina that was considered "some" in
its dey, but presented a moat interesting and arnus.
tog contrast with tbe bright and beautiful ma-
chine* of modern construction.
Thu formed, the procession marched up the Bay,
to tha sound of music, tfaenoo through several
streets until they finally brought up in South
Broad near tha Presbyterian Church. Here a con.
test was had between all tbe companies in throw
ing their streams on a dead level, in which the
palm was handsomely born off by the JEtau.
The following is the result:
AStna 209 feet.

The "Old Fogy" needing grease, and baring
suffsrad a loss of one of her arms, did not enter
the list
The JEtaa Company then marched to tbe Fire-
man's Hall, where they were complimented by a
sumptuous collation by tbe Savannah Fire De
partment. Several hours ware spent in the feast
of good things, while the "flow of soul" wlbt on
With a high tide movement.
At fi o'clock the AJtna* assembled at Armory
Hall, to partake of a second entertainment, served
•p by the Washington Fire Company. They were
received by A. H. U. Dawson, K«q., an honorary
member of tbe Utter company. Mr. 0. II. Rich
ards, President of the ^tna Company, responded
In • short but appropriate address ; after which
speeches war* made by Mayor Anderson, John J.
Kelly, P. M. Russell, and J. T. Buckner, Foreman
of the Oglethorpe Company.
At 9 o'clock, P. M. tbe Charleston guests re
paired to the Oglethorpe Hall, where, after par
taking of refreshments, a beautiful and costly
wreath was presented to them by P. M. Russell,
In behalf of the lady friends of the Washington
Firs Company.
The ARna Company was then escorted to the
Charleston steamboat wharf, where they took leave .
of their Savannah friends and embarked on the;
steamer Gordon, amidst tha friendly shouts and
greetings of the multitude on shore.

on the a object of the Main Trank, that will war.
rant a different interpretation.
Tan PaiUMLnii Enaction.—The Journal
of yesterday asks ns to " make a note" of the fact
that the North America*, the old Whig organ in
Philadalphia cast its weight ia favor of tbe Demo
cratic ticket at the Ute municipal election. Well,
w* have made a note, and oome to the conclusion
that tha Norik America* has don* just what wc
would have don* under the earn* circumstani
In the first plaoe. the Norik American is Whig, and
never had any connection with the American party,
aod that alone U sufficient to relieve it of all obli
gation, on political scores, to support the Ameri
can in preference to any other nominees. In this
the American and ourselves differ.
But it was not political considerations that influ
enced (be course of the Amerteaa to the late elec
tion. The contest was against bad government
and onerous taxation, and party politics were not
regarded as having any part in the issue. Io its
issue of the 8d instant the American thus states
tbe com:
"The election on Tuesday next, Is, locally, of
more than usual importance; and, as it fortunately
involves uo great question of either National or
6:ate politics, it can be determined on ite local
merits alone. The broad, distinctive lines that
once separated parties, are for tbe presoot ob
scured, if not entirely obliterated, and even those
who have formerly been partisans may now cast
their votes without any apprehension of vioUting
party fealty."
Further oo in the same article tbe American
alleges, io support of its course, that the American
candidates had “ assumed the Whig name," and
bad "repudiated the principles of the Whig
creed," that they had "no antecedents to recom
mend them to favor," possessed "no special fit
ness " for offioe, and that "tbeir sole recommend
ation" was that they "belonged to the order,*"
while, on tbe other band, it says that tbe Demo
cratic nominees were " men of a superior mark to
those commonly put forth by that party. They
are severally well qualified for the odious for which
they have been named, and they can all he vouch-
ad as honest, upright, reliable aod intelligent"
Under such circumstances, wc thick the North
American did right, especially as there were no
Pierce Democrat! on the ticket
Bailboads in Fbavckaxd England.— 1 The dis
parity between tbe pecuniary reaults of railway
enterprise in England and France is very forcibly
illustrated io a recent issue of the London Preee.
Such Is the difference between the par value and
the market price of stock In the ten greatest rail
ways in England, that any original holder of $60,-
000 in these companies would find himself now
minus just $10,000 of his capital. Aod if there
should he of tbe original shareholder’s capital
$600,000,000 invested in these ten railways then,
as a general result, it may he said that $100,000,-
000 have been lost
In France the railways have been ao amalga
mated that only eight principal ones are quoted
in tbe market If a person had originally inves
ted $60,000 in tbe stock of these companies he
wonld now find himself possessed of $110,000! In
stead of losing $10,000 be would have increased
bis capital by $60,000.
The difference is enormous, and the writer in the
Preee is driven to Attempt an explanation. It is
not the superior skill of the French, be affirms, for
they have been forced to employ English talent and
experience. Tbe difference of profit is not attribu
table to higher fares, for tbe French charges
arc lower than in England. It is owing, the
writer confidently declares, to tbe fact that in
France the Government will not allow another
railway to be constructed, in competition with an
existing line, wbilo in England the utmost rival
ry is allowed and encouraged, in so far that every
i village baa its road, and there are half a dozen
routes between any two considerable towns.
Bourn Carolina Dkmochatic Convention.—
The Charleston Courier of yesterday contains full
telegraphic accounts of the proceedings of this
body, It was determined to send delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention, instructed to cooperate
with that body on the same oonditiuns as announc
ed by tbe late Georgia Democratic Convention,
viz: that they adopt a platform in favor of the
Fugitive Blave law, the Kansas-Nebraika bill, and
in opposition to the Missouri Compromise. Frank-
tin Pierce was declared to be tbeir first choice for
the Presidency.
Tbe following delegation was appointed:

/ Tiie Fair Blues Duel,
Mevieg given place to Bishop Pierce’s lattes- *~
gatost Ik* seating uf pews to Methodist Churches,
we publish below a portion uf an article to reply,
written by x minister or that Church and publish
ed to the Southern Chrioiian Advocate of May
Mr. Editor, will you believe me when I tell you,
that far maay years of *sy early itinerancy—there
was as eooataat a fire kept ap against a salaried
ministry, as there Is now, or ever will be, against
E bws, organs and choirs. And w* were all just as
onset to denouncing a minister, whoeecaaaflAobo
anxious about bis salary, as a man after filthy
lacre, as aay of as are mow, to denouncing tbe
pew party as Tenegades from old Methodist usages.
And yet ws ha vs all come, as fkr as I know, to
believe that a mao ought to have a salary auffi-
ciant t* make aod keep him easy.
If a brother should oome out now and aay, we
ought never to have changed our old opinions up
on this feature of oar old Methodism, w* would all
believe bias under tbe influence of a Methodist pre
judice, rather than a divine oonviotlon.
And this, I humbly oonoeive^bas occurred with
out any effect on any thing properly natural to
Methodism. For nothing which is indifferent in
itselfi can of itself work any change in vital laws.
The English Methodists have changed tbeir origi
nal views on news, and almost universally adopted
them and I think as late as 1840 Dr. Newton
thought with decided advantage.
Among tbe things which first loosened the
bonds ofa religious prejudice into which I had
very honestly alien—eras, that 1 found, in most of
our city congregations, the poor got all the humor
ing, and the rich, as they are by many censuraUy
called, were expected to pay nearly all the ex
penses, and yield their preference at all times, in
all matters of good taste to those who were doing
the least for the church. Holding, as I do, that
neither rich nor poor have any right to do any
thing, or to desire any thing, which would alter
any constitutional element of Wesleyan Method
ism; I must be allowed to say that I cannot see
bow tbe use of pews, organs, and cboirs can injure
Methodism as causes, In any case, where the par-
•ho go
ties build with thie underetandinf, and aUjcko go
their elect to do oo. There will be some valuable
citixcns drawn under our ministry In many of our
chief cities, by having at least oo# pawed pburcb,
who would not without it; and If a portion of tbe
people do really prefer a pewed eburob—why not
let them be gratified as well as tbeir opposers f
It seems to me that no one well informed in tbe
premises will deny that free seats bare tbeir evils,
and especially so in large city oongregatious.—
Who ever saw in a pewed cburch'tbe backs of the
seats desecrated with words and sentences, fit only
to be written in tbe sinks of a grogshop, or on the
margin of tbe pit of wo? But in our best church
edifioet, with free seats, this is common. Or who
ever saw in a pewed church—at least in the pews
occupied by regular renters—a puddle of tobaoco
juice ? And U it not a question, even of moral
dignity, whether the owners and guardians of
God’s holy bouse ought to make it a general lobby
for the abuse of libertines, sod throw themselves In
to boot It is true, God’s house is a bouse of
prayer for all people. But this does not make it
an unhallowed court for licentious indulgence.—
And if men will abuse our liberal grants to them to
"sit where you please"—by writing what they
please on your scats, and spitting where they
please, I doubt whether it is right In us to issue
the license. I like free seats, but not for licentious
bearers. Humble as I am, and unpretending, I
would not allow any man to do in my house, be
cause it is my house, what be would do in bis own,
as a gentleman. And if free seats invites to these
dishonoring impurities, they ore an eril in this—
that they tempt to a disregard of Jehovah’s honor.
Liberty, when used as an occasion to tbe flesh, and
tben'boartingly patronized by the insulted party,
is a carte blanche to go ahead.
I am no pew man, until it is forced upon me as
the least of two evils. Then I am. That it wonld
be better in the general issue, for parents and chil
dren to sit together, and more especially in orowd-
ed city congregations, is as clear to ins as it Is that
children should be trained iu tbe way that they
should go. Solomon says, "a child left to himself
bringeth his mother to shame. This particular
benefit could he obtained without renting pews,
by a general consent to it—or what would be better,
by adopting it os tbe order of sitting in a Methodist
congregation. Then choice scats would depend
not upon purses, but upon persons, in regard to
slow and oulek time. To tois, there would be one
popular objection. But it is a dream, compared
with the evij of letting children, especially boys,
mix with such imftt as I sometimes see in our city
churches, particularly at night services. In view
of the last judgment do I say, that in my opinion,
it would be a far better act to stay at home and
teach ourcbildrenthe catechism, than to carry them
to church and let them fall under evil social influ-
Building a pewed house of worship is not an act
of contempt to law proper; it is only declining
the advice of the General Conference. I will ven
ture to sav that no General Conference will ever
be found that will undertake to *ay that no Meth-
odist Church aball be pewed. Andwby? Because
men of good Judgment will always feel that they
have no right,—no, nor divine reason, to lay any
such interdict.
In conclusion, I feel it my duty to say that if
pewed churches ever become nurseries of pride
and exclusiveness—temples of God, from which
bis poor are excluded by design, His curse will be
upou them and upon their pharis&ic worshippers.
Nay, more, I believe all such arrangements will be
left to spiritual barrenness. If our people will
build pewed churches, let them make it a business
to invite tbe poor, and furnish them with family
pews, and tell them "we want your prayers and
your souls—not your money." And make them
feel it.

Wilminoton, N. C., 1st May, 1866.
DsarBtr: I feel that I would do injustice to
myself, us well as to the other gentlemen who are
associated with me upon the "American ticket for
Commissioners of Navigation," in permitting tbe
remarks of a Democratic (would-be) orator to pass
unnoticed. Mr. William C. Wilkings, in the
oourso of bis remarks last evening, said " that the
Amorloan ticket for Commissioners of Navigation
was composed of merchants, who would sacrlficu

they were merchants,—he spoke faleelu In saying

The writer then makes some allusions to tbe
condescensions be has seen exhibited towards tbe
poorer classes by those from whom " blind preju
dice" would never have expected it, and mentions
tbe following case:
"Tho only instance of calling up an humble
African woman in company with a number of dis
tinguished whites, to be examined and received
into tbe church ever seen by me was in the finest
pewed church id the South—owned and occupied
by one of the most select congregations. I only
mention this fact to abate the cherished delusion
that exclusive pride is a leading element in the
hearts of all those who do not prefer free seats in
churches. No, my brethren; I have often been
led to notice that both in Church and State the
most exclusive pride and oppression—is found
among "the would he's."
I have not written this to encourage tbe build
ing of pewed churches; or unless the introduction
of them would actually improve the power of the
Methodist pulpit, I sea no absolute need of them.
Methodism should not be regarded'dependent at nil,
upon any of its more swaddling hands. Old fash
ioned Methodism was efficient, not on account of
its outward forms and accident', hut because of Us
spiritual power. Back t > this we must come by
the grace of God, or we will lose our pristine state,
whether we meet in pewed or free seat churches.

" Most poople will, doubtless, bo surprised at

Dalton, May 1,1856.
Jakes Gardner, Esq.—Dear Sin I presented
at the counter of the Merchants and Planters’
Bank, or Dalton, Ga., 29th of April last $1000, in
hills of that bank for payment, and handed tha
bills to Mr. Thompson, the Cashier. Ha oounted
tbe bills upon tbe counter, and then picked np
about one half uf them. At this time the Sheriff
of Whitfield county earn* In behind sne and
snatched up the bills that wore on the oounter.—
The Cashier handed hha the hills ha had iu his
hands, and he levied upon the whole with an at
tachment in favor uf Preston A Co. op Lewis for
about ten thousand do!
iff the next day that I
bond and take the bil
from doing so, levied
I Informed the Bber-
i give him a replevy
• than, to prevent me
» other attachments $48,-
000 compelling me to Ifira abond of $96,000 to get
my $1,000 out of his hands.
All I can learn of this case is, that the bank
through tbeir agents loaned Lewis a sum of money
(the bille of the Mcrchkmtd and Planter/’ lank of
Dalton) without any interest, for the purpose of
circulation. Lewis was to circulate them through
the West, nnd was toproteot the bank for redemp
tion. Lewis put outtbe hills, and a few days
afterwards they were returned to him for redemp
tion. He refused to take them np. The bills
were then sent hock to Dalton. There was sent
nn an agent of Preston A Co., to this plaoe,
and as fast as the bills are presented at tbe ooun
ter, they ore levied upon by the attachments.
I have examined tie attachments; they are is
sued by a justice of tie Peace, in the name of Pres
ton & Co., by their Arent, a Mr. Kebbee. Tbe
only security is Mr. Thompson, the Cashier, who
I understand, does not own one dollar’s worth of
property in the State;tod tbe Justice who is-
r ued tbe attachments acknowledged to me that so
ar as his knowlege of Mr. Tnompson, he did not
•mow that he was actually worth one dime. I
onsider this a high handed measure, and would
Mdvise all persons to look out. You eau publish
this statement If you see fit.

Women and Beautt.—An exchange says:
•'God intended all women to be beautiful, as much
s he did tbe roses and the morning glories; and
vbat He intended they should beoome, they would,
r they should obey His laws, and eut indolence
od corset-strings, and indulge in freedom and
resh air. For a girl to expect to be handsome,
oith the action of her lungs dependent on the ex-
; apsive nature of a cent’s worth of tape, is a* ab-
urd as to look for tulips in a snow-bank, or a full-
rown oak in a flower-pot."

At a meeting of the Chatham Artillery, hsld tbit
torning, (May 6) Capt. John E. Ward having announced
he death of tbe lion. George M. Troup, who became a
lemberof the cpips in 1T96, at the age of 16, and was
n honorary member at tbe Urn* of his decease, E. Y.
evy, E*q., moved the appointment of a committee to

J—when the following committee was appointed.
g, Yates Levy, Lieut. Wm. Hone, W. M. Davidson, It.
. Hilton, and J. T. Webb. After retJringafew minutes,
uey returned with a preamble and resolutions.
Mr. Levy, u Chairman of the Committee, prefaced the
^solutions with the following remarks: *
“ Mr. Chairman:—When a great man fades away, one
11 whom the pojple look for counsel and advice, who
duly and akilfclly grasp* the helm of State and steers
, he ship safely attld the shoals and quicksands of £ac-
■ .00 and party strife, tho nation clothes itself in sack-
loth aud ashes, atd a wall arises throughout the length
. ad breadth of tbt land, “ from Dan even unto Beer
< bebo,” like " fiachel weeping for her children that
. hey are not.” Palinurui has been swept from the
I elm, and the vesiel drifts helplessly along in the dark-
. ess and the tempest, tbe sport of the winds and of the
‘ aves until some other able hand assumes tbe command,
tmd rownsures the dismayed crew. Bucb, sir, is always
, he condition of a nation when one of its fathers has left
t *, to enter upon his last, long Journey. It would he
• -orse than useless forme to recount the many deeds of
I be illustrious dead which entitle him to our gratitude,
t ad which strike a feeling of deep sorrow into our souls
1 t his loes. What Georgian i» there on whose heart they
re uot inscribed? What faiuily at whose hearth they
i ave not become household words 1 Who Is there that,
< he traverses our great sud flourishing State, and
(errs thriving towns aud villages springing into sudden
tlstence "ashy the stroke of an enchanter’s wand”—
'ho is there, I say, w ho duet uot know that to his integ-
ity, his intrepidity, his answeiving principle is due the
onor of redeeming that Ua;py laud from a savage and
•eless destiny! Who is there that does uot know that
o his devoted love of country, the honor of that coun*
ry’a flag, the diguity of that country’s institutions,
- owed every feeilug and every emotion of a personal or
slflsh nature! The friend of Jackson, the contcmporo-
y of Uaudolpb, Clay, Webster aud Calhoun, he survived
- ho last of a race of giants. They have long since passed
wsy; while he, ever younf in the memories and asso-
Utluasof the post, still lived, the cherished aud ad-
> ilrod object of tho old, thv worshipped exaaplo of tho
oung, fulfilling in hJs own llfu aud his own practice
’lio*e precepts w hich he advised, until quietly and grace-
ullyhesauk into tho grave, "the noblest Homan of
them all."
Ife has gone—tho nobb gentleman, the high-toned
patriot, tho stern and influlhle statesman, the warm
friend, tho loving husband, the kind father. Ho has
gone; and now nought rettoins for us hut to twiao the
tauruls still more closely around bis honored name, and
with our sorrowing tears to keep ever green and fresh
their leaves, a record of his past virtues aud of the love
he Inspired.”
Mr. Levy then proceeded to read the resolutions, Ac.
Whereas, it has plaucd Almighty God in his all-seeing
wisdom, to remote from among us our Illustrious com
rade honorary member Georgs M. Troup:
Resolved, That this corps recognize* iu tbe death of
this virtuous and patriotic citizen, an irreparable loo* to
the Ptate of Georgia and the South at large.
Resolved, That the records of our State's post history
khow no name to whith a greater debt of gratitude 1* due
thau that of our decaucd comrade.
Resolved, Tliat a page he left on our minute-book In
scribed to his memory.
Removed, That this corps In response to thecal! of our
fellow-citizens, and in conformity with our own sorrow,
do psrade In taken of retpect to the memory of its oldest
ineinlwr und that s«vp|ity-«ix minute guns be fired at
such time and place as our captain may appoint, our colors
draped In mourning aud the company wearing all Its em
blems.
Resolved, That this corps wear tbe customary badge of
mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That these resolutions be published In the
city papers and a copy of them spread on the minutes,
and another copy be forwarded through Hon. ThomasM.
Foreman to the family of the deceased,
ftfr. Hilton spoke as follows:
"Mr.Chairman:—In rising to second the motion for

Nor I* it for his sake to whom the tribute is offered, so

resolutions. He has gone hence—upward and far away.

that we cherish hit memory. To mo it has seemed un-

2- Resolved, That the superior MaSonic attainments,
high order of talents, and great moral worth of our de

made with hands, eternal in the Heavens, has left us
mourners for a loss which will not soon be replaced.

SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN
FOR THIa OAMCFAXair.
Tbt approaching canvass is to be one of unusual ex
citement and importance—the issues involved are of vi
tal interest to the South and the country, and xrsrbe
thoroughly discussed. Our principles need but to be un
derstood to be appreciated by the great maos ol tbe
poople; our candidates are all that vre could desire, and
we bare abundant evidence in tbe general acclaim vrith
which tbe nominations have been received, of the great
popularity and strength of the ticket. We shall enter
tbe canraas as willing, active and zealons workers in tbe
good cause, and it is oar purpose to do all that in ns lies
to promote its triumph at tbe ballot box.
Impressed with tbe importance of disseminating coif
root political information as widely as possible, we pro
pose to furnish the Weekly Republican for the campaign,
at aprice low enough to bring It within the means of all,
and to induce “dubs’* to subscribe for the purpose of grat
uitous distribution. Subscribers will have tbe advan
tage, by this arrangement, of bring kept fully posted in
political matter*, and also in the news of tbe day, by tel
egraph Md mails, commercial and market intelligence,

We will also furnish the Dally and Tri-Weekly paper

We appeal to onr friends and tha friends of Fnfr-
more and Doxelsok In every county, town and neighbor
hood within convenient reach of Savannah, to aid us in
this important matter, by getting np clubs, forwarding
names, Ac. Better moans of promoting the good cause
can hardly be devised than to circulate correct political
