TO OCR FRIENDS AND THE PUBLIC
In presenting the paper this morning
to. its many friends and patrons in its new
dress, I desire to return my thanks to
them for the appreciation they have shown,
and the support they have extended to it
from its foundation to the present time, and
especially since my connection with it, and
I assure them thatin the future, as in the past,
uo pains or expense will be spared to make it a
reliable commercial, political and family news
paper, a paper in every respect worthy of the
growing importance of Savannah, and cal-
culated ljy tone and appearance to reflect
credit upon her.
It will be observed that I have resumed the
old name, that of the Horning News, and in
doing so I would remark that I do so only
that the paper may have a more simple name,
and not that I am willing or wish to part with
a single paragraph of the history of the Sayan-t
3jah Daily Herald of 1865, or of the Daily
News and Herald of 18C6, ’67 and ’68. In
±he change of name there will be no change
in the course of the paper. It will continue
4o advocate the doctrine of- the -supremacy of
the white race and be an uncompromising
foe to that party which seeks to encompass the
ruin of the country by its violations of the
principles of the government.
It will be my aim and ambition to make the
Morning News a newspaper in every sense of
the word, lit forborne, the counting room, the
office and the workshop, the clergyman, the
merchant, the lawyer, the mechanic and the
laborer ; and by intelligent discussion of, and
devotion to all things calculated to advance
the interest of Savannah and the section from
which our city derives its support, to receive
from all classes heart} 7 encouragement.
CoL AV. T. Thompson continues as editor
and will as heretofore devote his entire at
tention to its editorial columns.
The local and commercial departments of
the News will be in the hands of active, in
telligent and courteous gentlemen, and it will
be my aim to make the paper in these par
ticular brunches full, accurate aud reliable.
Again returning my thanks for the more
than liberal support which has been extended
to the establishment in every branch, and
. withu firm determination to make every

OUR NEW DRESS.
The beautiful outfit in which the paper ap
pears this morning is from the well known
type foundry of James Conner’s Sons, New
York, an establishment which years ago mode
its reputation under the father of the present
members of the firm, and under the energetic
gentlemen who now conduct the business it
is daily adding to its excellent record as a
.. first class Type Foundry. We have dealt
with them for several years, and every order
which we have forwarded to them has been
promptly and accurately filled; every font
properly proportioned; every letter well
made; no writing back for sorts. All print
ers will appreciate the satisfaction of dealing
with such a firm. Messrs. James Conner’s
Sons, besides furnishing type, supply every
article necessary in a printing office, from a
bodkin to a ten-cylinder printing machine.
_ They also deal in printer’s cards, and having
used the cards which they manufacture, we
can recommend them as the best and cheap
est in the country. We recommend our co
temporaries to send their orders for printing
material to these gentlemen, and if they are
not satisfied with them after due trial we will
stand the damages.
OUR APPEARANCE.
We confess that we are a little proud of our
new dress, though not yet exactly adapted to
our liking. The entire changing of all our
standing advertisements to our new type in
the brief time between our daily issues, is no
Email task, and it will be a day or two before
we shall be able to have everything complete.
In this connection we desire to make our
acknowledgments to the craft of the city,
who have generously aided our regular force
in re-setting our forms. Our thanks are es
pecially due to our friends Geo. N. Nichols,
for the loan of needed facilities, and to Mr.
E. O. WrrmNaTON and Mr. Frank D. Lee,
for assistance in proof reading and preparing
mutter for our present issue. Onr own prin
ters have our thanks for the generous tender
of their volunteer services to a late hour on
Saturday night We shall bear their kindly
acts in grateful remembrance.
OUR NEW HEAD.
We regret that owing to an oversight of the
type-founders, the type selected for the new
head of the “ Daily Morning News" was not
sent with our new material, which obliges us
to substitute a letter not adapted to our page.
This somewhat mars our appearance this
morning. If, as we expect, the new head ar
rived in the General Barnes last night, we
will he able to remedy the defect in our next
issue.
The Tri-Weekly News.—Owing to the
many changes necessary in fitting our new
paper with its new dress, we will not issue a
tri-weekly edition this morning, but will send
to the subscribers to it onr daily edition.
The Jewish Sentinel, published at St Louis,
says that when a delegation of Jews called
upon Mi-. Lincoln to urge the rescinding of
Grant’s order No. 11, the President said he
had already demanded that the order be re
voked, and that he had received a reply from
Grant saying it should be done, and that
reply he read as follows:
“Mr. President, as you have directed me,
I will rescind the order; but I wish you to
distinctly understand that these people are
the descendants bf those who crucified the
Savior; and, from the specimens I have here,
the race'has not improved.” •
General Drx.—This gentleman, now the
American minister to France, has written a
letter announcing the fact, heretofore stated
that he is in favor of the election of General
Grant.
The Eufaula News says the deaths among
the negro population in that city for the last
few weeks has been very great It attributes
the sickness to carelessness, improvidence,
THE GEORGIA TROUBLES IN WASH
INGTON.
It seems that just about this time the con
dition of affairs in this State is giving “ the
powers that be,” in Washington, a - great deal
of anxiety. There is evidently a screw loose
in the reconstruction machine in Georgia;
things have gone wrong -here, and the Radi
cals are sorely'perplexed, not knowing what
course to adopt to put matters right. Here
tofore, they have treated the State as in the
Union or out of it, just as it suited their
partizan purposes. But now, it seems that
they are afraid to consider ns in the Union,
and dare not declare'.us out of-the Union.
Having complied with all the requirements
of the Beconstruction laws ; having permitted
the negroes and carpet-baggers to fix up a
Constitution to suit them; to elect their
Governor, and fill the State offices, all things
seemed to be progressing in a satisfactory
manner, and the country was congratulated
by the Chicago Convention upon the complete
success of the Congressional scheme of
Beconstruction, & illustrated by the loyal
acquiescence of the people of Georgia. The
carpet-bag members of Congress were ad
mitted to seats in Congress, and Georgia was
proclaimed a reconstructed State.
Such was the auspicious aspect of affairs
when it was discovered, that under the new
Radical Constitution, negroes were in
eligible to hold office; not only so,
but what was still more alarming, that
their whole Radical machinery was pow
erless to carry the State for Grant in
the Presidential election. Here was a di
lemma. What was to be done ? The
military government had been withdrawn,
and ’civil authority re-established. To
remand the State hack to the tender mercies
of General Meade, with his bayonets
and sweat-boxes, would be an act of
usurpation that could not fail to react
upon the North, just on the eve, too,
of the Pennsylvania election. The idea
of arming the negro militia had been
denounced in thunder tones from one end of
the Union to the other—regular troops could
not be sent into the State to overawe the
whites aud control the elections, unless called
for by the proper State authorities. This
they could not expect from a white democrat
ic legislature. In every point of view the
case was beset with difficulties. To solve
these difficulties it became necessary to con
vene the (Congressional cabal, by whom it was
determined to stop the reconstruction process
where it was—to refuse admission to the
Georgia Senators, and postpone action in' the
case until alter the Pennsylvania State elec
tion in October, the result of which would
throw more light on the subject, and enable
them to determine whether it would be politic
and expedient to set aside their reconstruc
tion acts and all forms of even bogus law,
and take the regulation of affairs in Georgia
into their own bands, reinstate the negroes in
office and enforce whatever other measures
may he necessary to secure the vote of the
State for their candidates in November.
In the meantime their scheme of pre
cipitating a strife between the*" races,
as a pretext for military interference
had culminated at Camilla, but was so
badly managed by their bungling agents
as to prove almost a failure. Had
their negro Legislature been in existence to
adopt resolutions apptSiug^'lor^SiilffiS^' pro
tection, they would have accomplished their
object. Fortunately the negro exodus from
the Legislature had taken place previous to
the opening of the carpet-bagger’s campaign
in Mitchell county, and that affair, which was
to have served them, like the attack on Fort
Sumter, in exciting the phrenzy of Radical
hatred against our people, resulted only in a
severe chastisement of the villainous incen
diaries who planned and instigated it, and a
wholesome lesson to their ^ignorant and mis
guided followers. The movement was to its
leaders a most disastrous defeat, not so much
in the loss of the lives of a few negroes, for
whom they care nothing, as in its failure to
accomplish the political object in view. All
the ialse dispatches from the Freedmen’s
Bureau, all the infamously false messages of
the Bullock, and all the lying comments of
the Radical press,have not succeeded in mak
ing out of it a first class Radical sensation,
nor iir deceiving the unprejudiced public as
to the true character of the affair.
Great efforts have been made by carpet
baggers in Washington to get up an excite
ment, and to induce the government to
adopt some'extreme measures to protect
themselves and their armed negro mobs from
the bloodthirsty and lawless rebels. It was
reported in Washington on Tuesday last that
Gen. Meade had been sent for, that he had
an interview with the President and Secretary
of War, in reference to the Camilla affair,
and that the latter had instrncted him to pro
ceed immediately to Georgia to prevent fur
ther disturbances, by the use of the forces
under his command, and if necessary to call
on the War Department for more troops.
It was also stated that Gen. Meade is to in
stitute a thorough investigation of the aff air
and take steps to bring the guilty parties to
justice. But this report, so highly improba
ble under the existing state of affairs, is con
tradicted by the following special dispatch
from the reliable Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, who writes under date
of Thursday last. He says :
Gen. Meade’s return to his command in
Georgia was not upon orders from the Secre
tary of War, as erroneously stated in some of
the newspapers, but upon ‘ his own motion,
his leave of absence having nearly expired.
Nor is it true that he received instructions to
investigate the iacts of the recent riot at Ca
milla, and bring the offenders to trial. Such
a proceeding would be in violation of the re
cent orders of the War Department, directing
Gen. Meade to surrender control of civil at
fairs to the civil authorities, on the 15th of
July last
This statement is decidedly the most pro-
bable. Gen. Meade commands a Military
Department embracing the State of Georgia,
over which he has no anthority that is not
exercised by the commander of the Depart
ment including the State of Pennsylvania
over that State. He is liable to be called
upon by the civil authorities to suppress vio
lence and preserve the public peace, in which
he and his soldiers would be supported by
eveiy good citizen; but further than this,
having surrendered his anthority to the civil
officers of the State, he has no legal right to
idterpose his ijrilitary power. His duties are
fully defined in the instructions to military
commanders recently issued from the War
Department
THE ACME OP RADICAL INFAMY
We had thought that Beast Hotter with all
his common vices occupied one bad emi
nence in which he stood alone, pre-eminent,
unapproachable—'that he might safely say to
all the world “in one infamy I have no com
peer. In all after time my name will stand
as the synonym of a crime against decency,
civilization and humanity—as- the invocation
of maledictions, execrations, contempt and
scorn, which no other wretch that wears the
shape of man can share!” But we were mis
taken. In the dispensation pf Providence it
1ms been reserved for the city of'Raleigh, in
the State of North Carolina, to produce an
atrocious. God-forsaken wretch, who may
justly claim to have eclipsed even Beast But
ler in infamy. That fiend in human shape is
the editor of the Raleigh Standard, Holden’s
paper, and the oracle of the Radical party of
North Carolina. Bead the following brutal
and disgusting insult to the wives, mothers
and daughters of the South, and say if we
have done the author of it injustice. Giving
advice to the canvassers of his party, this
Radical editor, this worse than'brute, says:
“But wherever else you work don’t forget
to work among the women. The Confedera
cy wouldn’t have lasted a year if it hadn't
been for them. One good rebel woman is
worth a dozen rebel men.. Go after the wo
men, then. They will make their husbands
and their lovers shout for Grant and Colfax
until they are hoarse, if yon will manage to
replace some of the diamond rings and laces
Frank Blair stole from them when he was
here. And don’t hesitate to throw your arms
around their necks now and then, when their
husbands are not around, and give them a good
/ They all like it, and the yankeer you
are the betterit takes. Our experience, with
female rebs is, that with all their sins they
have a vast amount of human nature, and
only want to have it appreciated to be the
most loving creatures imaginable. Scalawags
and caipet baggers ! don’t fail, therefore, as
you canvass the State, to look after the wo
men. You are all good looking, and they
know it, but with native modesty, like sweet
New England girls, they like to be approached
first. Don’t be afraid of their eyes—they
glare like young leopards by daylight, but un
der the moon no blue death-stricken fawn’s 'is half
so tender or half so deep. i)on’t read Judge
Pearson’s letter to them, but give them By
ron and Shelly in volumes, and you will have
them in your arms, if not in your party in less
than a week.”
There are. no words in the English lan
guage to describe the wretch who could pen
such a brutal, swiuesh insult to the noble
women of North Carolina ; and if the fathers,
sons and brothers of Raleigh can permit
such a reptile to remain in their midst, they
have more forbearance • than becomes their
manhood. Such a beast is a disgrace to his
race, even to the Radical party, and should
be scourged from among civilized men. What
father or brother could look snch a beast in
the face aud restrain bis iufiignation ? We
hope soon to hear that be has received the
punishment he so richly deserves.
The Savannah News and Herald has taken
a fit over one Col. Aaron Wilbur, who was by

The Next State Election.—The next State
election takes place in Nebraska, on the first
Tuesday of October. The contest will be for
one Congressman, Governor of the State, State
officers, and members of the Legislature.
The Radicals elected their Governor in* 1866
by 145 majority. In the ensuing Congressional
election they succeeded by a majority of 745.
Unauthorized Fees.—The Commissioner of
Internal Revenue says that any assessor who
charges a fee for approving the bonds does so
without authority of law. The defence made
by certain assessors who have claimed it is
that the fee taken for this purpose is intended
to be used in supporting the political cam
paign.
story of the old negro an
Pompey had captured a rabbit and was pro
ceeding home with it in his arms in happy
anticipation of the fine feast it would afford
him. He was very proud of bte rabbit, and as
he walked along be stroked the back of his
prize, saying—“Mighty good mbit Good
for bile, good for stew, good for fry, good
for” Just at thae moment the rabit gave a
sudden spring from his arms and bounded
away across the fields. Old Pompey darted
away after him with a loud yell, but seeing
that pursuit was useless he tnrned back in
disgust saying—“Go to de dobil.you old pop-
eyed, mule-eared, cotton-tailed, son of a
witch—you isn’t good for nuffin, no how.
But seriously the explanation given by the
Bard of the maimer in which snch unwarrant
able liberty was taken with the name of Col.
Wilbur, while it entirely exonerates that
gentleman from the disgrace which would
otherwise attach to him from the vile associ-
atiou in which he was made to appear, is il
lustrative of the consummate impudence and
unscrupulous • mendacity of the miserable
faction, who in the hope of bolstering their
utter lack of respectability or moral worth,
would take advantage of a gentleman’s ab
sence from the State to drag him down to
political fellowship with themselves. And
this outrage, says the Bard, was the result of
“accident” Will anybody believe such a ri
diculous subterfuge ? Would any white man
in Georgia, except the shameless editor of
the Atlanta Era, have the brazen audacity to
offer such an excise for so flagrant an out
rage?
Speaking for “ the Republican party in
Georgia,” (Heaven save the mark,) the Bard
says, “Mr. W.’s withdrawal is a matter of no
earthly moment” In this no donbt the Bard
speaks truly. But it is a matter of very great
moment to Col. Wilbur, or to any other gen
tleman, to escape the disgrace of political as
sociation with the editor or his party. So far
as the Republican party of Georgia is con
cerned, it matters veiy little whom they vote
for as Presidential Elector—the greater the
vagabond the fitter the choice. No doubt the
negro who appeals on the ticket as Alternate
for the First Congressional District, and
whose name was not placed there by “acci
dent,” will be even more acceptable, as he is
certainly much more congenial to the party
than CoL Wilbur or any other respectable
white man.
Among the current rumors in foreign dip
lomatic circles is one which relates to an
event which, should it take place, will create
quite a change abroad. The heir presump
tive to the Belgian throne is not expected to
live. In case of his death it is proposed that
the Prince Imperial of France shall marry the
Princess Amelia of Belgium, and thus con
solidate the two powers under one head.—
There are serious obstacles to such a pleasant
family arrangement, and Count Bismarck
Would, no doubt, have a word to say.

eleven o’clock, at which time scouts left for
Fort Wallace to obtaii) assistance. They
were obliged to crawl/ two miles on their
Lnnrls and knees throigb the camp of the
Indians to get ont. A. daylight they heard

The casualties are, Col. Forsyth, left leg

Moore was Shot in the Wd while dressing ’
Colonel Forsyth’s wounds. Two men were
killed and twenty wounded. All the stock
of the command were killei, and the men
were living on horse flesh. The scouts had
only one and a half pounds to last them into
Wallace. The party had sitty-five rounds of
ammunition left, and were fortifying. They
could only travel at nights on account of the
danger. Indians have been seen every day.
On learning CoL Forsytes condition, CoL
Bankhead, commanding this post, sent out
100 men with provisions, ammunition, &c., to
his relief. Also scouts to CoL Carpenter, who
was supposed to be about 46 miles west of

Forsyth’s assistance. A scont came in at ten
o’clock this morning and reported that Car

Fort Sedgewick, on his way to the fork of the
Republican, was supposed to be in that
vicinity with two companies of cavalry and
three of infantry, ind it was confidently ex
pected by Gen. Sheridan that they would
come up in time to save the party, as they
were on his route.

TERRIBLE AFFAIR.
Tfye negro policemen of New Orleans com-
plain on account of having received no pay
for eight months. They say the carpet-bag
gers have stolen all the money out of the
City Treasury. Just so. That class of men
will steal anything, from a silver spoon to
the pay of a negro policeman.
The Louisville Journals Washington special
says the condition of affairs in that city is
truly alarming. Garroting, rape,, arson, and
suicide, are common occurrences—all the
reeult of bad government, or rather no gov
ernment—foisted upon the city b<j the Radi

Tragical Result of an Old Feud—Two
Men and one Woman Killed.
Crab Orchard, Ky., Sept. 30, 1868.—A
year or two since an unfortunate difficulty
occurred near this place at a meeting-house,
in which men named Anderson and their
friends upon one side, and the Adamses -with
their friends upon the other, were engaged.
In this fracas a mat) namec] Simms, sou-in
law of the elder Adams, was killed, and sev-
everal others on each side were shot or other
wise wounded. A trial at the time of each
party resulted in an acquittal of all concerned.
A short time after this, as the elder Adams
was returning home from Lancaster, he was
assassinated by being shot from his buggy by
some one stationed in a church near the road
side.
since” B&t&el&ilS, . exisited ever
men have been suspected by the Adamses" as
pariiceps criminis to the murder of their
father. Among the number accused, or who
was thought by the Adams family to have
been concerned in his death, was a man
named Cummins, who lived near the Lincoln
and Pqlaski county line, beyond this place
eight or ten miles. Threats have been made,
we learn, by the Adamses, upon Cummins,
and last night it culminated most tragically.
It seems, from what we can learn, that two of
the Adamses, together with three or four of
their friends, went to the house of Mr. Cum
mins, at night—demanded admission, which
was refused ; and thereupon Rodney Adams
broke down the door and as he entered was
shot dead. The assaulting party then fired,
killing a young lady, daughter of Mr. Cum
mins, and also shot and killed Cummins.
They shot at Mrs. Cummins also, but missed.
It is not known whether any others of the as
saulting party were injured or not.
General Episcopal Convention op the
United States.—Tfie General Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Ghnrch in the United
States, which holds its session once m threa
years, will meet in the city of New York on
the 7th of October next. Bishop Stevens, in
a late circular, referring to the fact, says:
In this great council of our church will be
gathered, for the first time since 1859,
lishops, clergy, and laity from all of the
United States. It will comprise a larger num
ber of bishops and a larger number of dio
ceses than any of our previous councils. The
business which will be brought before it is of
the deepest importance to the well-being of
the chuich, now and hereafter. The erection
of six or seven new dioceses and missionary
jurisdictions; the election, and perhaps con
secration of several bishops; the readjustment
of our code of canons to new phases of
church growth and action; the various me
morials touching vital points of faith, ritnal
and discipline, which will be presented; the
recasting of the whole foreign missionary
work of the church; the needed revision of
the course of studies for candidates for Holy
Orders, as prescribed by the House of Bishops;
the devising of new and enlarged agencies of
church education and church extension; the
methods by whjch we can best minister to
the spiritual needs of the poor, the working-
classes, the freedmen, the fallen of every
grade, on the one hand, as well os reach and
successfully grapple with the various fqnns of
rationalism and unbelieving science on the
other. These and other equally great ques
tions, each big with untold consequences,
will engage the deliberation of the legislative
council. In addition to these matters, which
pertain specifically to conventional action,
there are many other topics connected with
the operation of the several great voluntary
societies in the Church, which hold their
meetings at the same time, jand the proceed
ings of which will have a moulding influence
on the church at large.
Hold on to Cotton.—The planters of Bul
loch county, Alabama, at a meeting on the
15th took the following action :
We, a portion of ^the planters of Bulloch
county, Alabama, earnestly call on the plant
ers of the South to join with us in the effort
to keep ont of market all cotton not necessa
ry to meet all debts now due, aud to explain
to the laborer the advantage of this course
and secure his co-operation in the matter.—
Therefore, be it resolved:
1. That the cotton planters of Alabama
and of other cotton producing States be and
are hereby respectftuly requested to at once
hold beat and county meetings for consulta
tion and advice as to the best means of se
curing a lair price for the present crop of cot
ton.
2. That we recommend the planters to
avoid forcing cotton upon a declining market,
as much as may be consistent with their ob
ligations to meet pressing debts.
3. That we recommend the planters to store
their own surplus cotton and that of their
laborers at their own gin-houses, covering the
same by insurance.

Savannah Gas-Light Company, )
Savannah, June 4,1868. J
The Savannah Gas-Light Company, wishing to sup
ply Gas to its patrons on as cheap terms as may be
consistent with a fair return for the capital and labor
applied in its manufacture, and believing that the ac
tive business which’ may be reasonably expected du
ring the coming winter in this city, will cause an in
creased demand; and further, that a diminution in
price will induce many to burn Gas that have hitherto
had recourse to other means of illumination, which
are more dangerous and leas cleanly and convenient;
and that the consequent increase wifi lessen the cost of
manufacture, and thus justify the Company in making
a reduction, in price.
Therefore, it has been determined, that from and
after the FIRST OF NOVEMBER next, consumers
will be supplied at the rate of
FIVE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER THOU
SAND CUBIC FEET,
and that a further reduction of Fifty Cents per Thou
sand Feet will be made to all who shall pay their bills
at this office within FIVE DAYS after presentation.
