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 7 * —- 1 ... I am, very respectfully, J. H. Estill. 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 accident placed upon the Republican elector al ticket. Mr. W.'s withdrawal is a matter of no earthty moment to the Republican party in Georgia.—Atlanta Era. the 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. >■<>■« The convention of railroad agents at Mem phis has decided to charge on cotton per one hundred pounds to New York, uncompressed, all rail, $1 75; rail and water, $1 65; com pressed, all rail, SI 40; rail and water, $1 30; being a redaction of ten cents per hundred on last year’s rates. THE INDIANS. ; Scouting Party In Kansas Attacked— They Take Refuge on an aland—And are Besieged by the Savajes—’Twenty KUled and Wounded. Fort Wallace, (Kansas), Sejeinber 23.— Scouts from CoL Forsyth’s cenmand, who has been scouring the county toward the head waters of the Republican fiver, arrived here last night. They left Fonjth's camp on. the Dry Fork of Republican riier, thirty-five miles from the month aud nimjy miles north of here, four nights ago. \ Theyteport that on the morning of the 17th,the Tnlians tried to run off' a portion of thei stock and half an hour later three or four 1 undrUl appeared on the bluffs, two miles off, nd maue .a dash for the camp. CoL Forsyth having on y fifty men, crossed them to a small island, ai 1 the Indians com menced filing on him, vhich they kept up steady and fast, until 111’clock, after which only scattering shots, i itil 3 o’clock, when they again opened a si ady fire and an in creased force, their num er being estimated then at 700. The fight was kept up : t this manner until sundown, when the Indii is made a desperate charge to take the camp ut were unsuccess ful. They, however, kej up the fight until 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 firing back at the canb, seven miles away, and occasional shots alfday- The casualties are, Col. Forsyth, left leg broken by a ball and sjlot through the right thigh. Lieut. Beecher, shot in several places; supposed to be dying, is his back was bro ken. He begged the m\n to kill him. Dr. 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 here, with his company to proceed to CoL Forsyth’s assistance. A scont came in at ten o’clock this morning and reported that Car penter was on his way. Gen. Bradley, from 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. Later—8 P. M.—Gen. Nichols has just ar rived from Fort Reynolds, and reports Lieut. Beecher dead, Dr. Moore mortally wounded and dying, and CoL Forsyth nearly as bad. They are lying, (here with the Indians all around them, eating horse-flesh and awaiting patiently for relief Cols. Bankhead and Caipenter with reach them to-night [Correspondence of the Louisville Courier.] 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 cal majority of Congress. 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. We learn from the Augusta, Chronicle, that a Mr. Stile, for some years employed in the Augusta Factory, while engaged about the Pickery on Wednesday, got his arm caught in the machinery and his * body was ' $o ’badly mangled as to cause his death. f-r») * •— ' Barbecue.—Lite cap-a-pie, \ybioh means from head to foot, 'barbecue means ■frgm bear(l to tail—Sarbe et queue, or cue—that js entire.

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.
