When Jeffers on Davis was brought a j captive to Fortress Monroe, he was con fined in the gunroom of a casement, the embrasure oi’ which was closed with a heavy iron grating, and the doors which communicated with th<; gunnei’sroom were closed with heavy double shutters, fastened with cross bars and padlocks. Ihe side openings hail been closed up with frc.-ii masonry, the plastering of which was soft to the touch, the top being an arch to sup port the earth of the parapet. Iwo senti nels, with muskets loaded and bayonets fixed, paced to and lro aero-.- this small prison. Two other sentinels and a eom zniaaioned officer occupied the gunner s room, the doors and windows of which were strongly secured. The officer of the day had the key of the outer door, arid sentinel* were posted on the outer pave ment in front of it. I here were nbo sen tinels on the parapet overhead. The em brasure looked out on the wet ditch, say sixty feet wide, the water in which was probably from seven to ten feet deep, the scarp and counterscarp rivetted with dressed masonry. Beyond the ditch, on the glacis, was a double chain of sentinels, ( and in the easement rooms on each side oi his prison were quartered (hat part of the guard which was not on post Borne down by pmuiinn. ov- r exertion arid exposure, he was in no condition when throw n into prison to resist exciting causes of disease. The damp walls, the 1 bod too coarse, and had to he eaten, the depriva tion of sleep caused by the tramping of sentries around the iron cot, the light of the lamp which shone full upon it, the loud calling of the roll when another relief was turned out, the noise of unlocking the doors, the tramp of the sentinels who came to relievo those on duty, produced fever and rapidly wasted his strength Without mechanical aid, thou- h his efforts were not interrupted, no one could have removed the grating from the embrasure. If that had been done, and any one could have swam across the ditch, and climbed up the rivetmeiit on the opposite side, wb’oh was doubtful, he then would have encountered the m Illinois on the glacis. The circumstance*, together with many manifestations indicating feeling towards hitn, led him to the conclusion that it was not the belief that these things were neces sary to prevent his escape, but a purpose to offer an indignity, to inflict physical pain and perhaps to deprive him of life. On the 23d of May, IK6f>, the officer of the day, C'apt. J. Titlow, of the Id Denn sylvania artillery, came into his prison with two blacksmiths, bearing a pair of heavy leg irons coupled together by a pon derous chain. Captain Titlow, in a milli ner fully sustaining his words, informed him that with great personal reluctance, he came to execute an order to put irons upon him. Mr. Davis asked whether (Jen. Miles had given that order, and on being answered in the affirmative, said lie wished to see Gen. Miles, Captain Titlow said he had just left Gen. Miles, who was leaving the Fort. Mr. Davis then asked that the execution of the order should he postponed until Gets. Miles returned. C.*ntainTitlow said his orders would not permit that, and that to an old soldier if was lice ’less to say that an officer was bound to execute au order as it was given to him. Mr. Davis told him that it was too obvious that there could be no necessity for the use of such means to render tiis imprisonment secure; and on Captain Titlow s repeating tlia' his duty was to execute his orders, Mr. Davis said it was not such an order as a soldier could give, or receive, and he wi.uhl not submit to it; that it was evidently the in tention to tortue him to death ; that he would never tamely be subjected to indig nities by which it wassought in his person to degrade the cause of which he was a representative. The officer of the day, with evident kind feeling, endeavored to dissuade him from resistance. The officer of the guard came in from the front room with the officer of the day, to induce him to yield. It was needless to show, what was very apparent, that resistance could not he successful, and Mr. Davis'answer was that he was i “sol diet - and a gentleman, and that he knew liow to die,” and pointing to the sentinel who stood ready, said: “let your men shoot me at once.” He faced round with his back to the wall and stood silently wait ing. His quiet manner led the officer to suppose that no resistance would be made, and therefore the blacksmiths were directed to do their work. As one of them stooped down to put on the fetters, Mr. Davis slung him off so violently as to throw him on the floor; he recovered and raised his hammer to strike, but t he officer of the day stopped him; simultaneously one of the sentinels cocked and lowered his musket, advancing on the prisoner, who had turned to encounter this assailant, and thus did not see the purpose of the blacksmith. Captain Titlow saw the new danger, and promptly interposed, telling the sentinels that they were not to fire. Ordered officer of the guard to bring in four of the strongest men of the guard without fire arms. for the purpose of overcoming by muscular strength the resistance which was threatened. Mr. Davis had nothing with which to defend himself, even his penknife having been previously taken from him. The contest was brief and ended in his being thrown down, four men being on his body and head. Ile could not see the blacksmiths when they approached to put on the irons, but feeling one of them, he kicked him off from him against the wall. The Smith recovered, and with the aid which the other men could give him, suc ceeded in the second attempt to rivet one fetter, and secure the padlock which hold the other. Mr. Davis scornfully asked his assailants if they “called” themselves “soldiers,” and said “the shame is yours, not mine.” The object being effected, the officer of the day withdrew the men he had brought in. The prisoner lay down on the cot, cov ered his ironed limbs with the blanket, and felt only more intense contempt for the brutality with which he was treated than when, a few minutes before, he had an nounced his belief that he was to be tor tured to death, and defied the power which attempted to degrade him. Os the dra matic account published in l>r. Craven’s book, he said it could not have been writ ten by one who either knew the facts, or had such personal knowledge of him as t > form a just idea of what his conduct would be under such cireuinstauees. The fact I, he added! was that very little was said either by ('apt. Tit low or by himself, and that whatever was said, was uttered in a very quiet and practical manner. For himself, he would say he was roe resolved, and too proudly conscious of his relation to a sa cred, t hough unsuccessful cause, for such acclamations and manifestations as were imputed to him by Craven’s informant, aud given to the public in his book. Ex-President Davis. —The editor of 1 the Richmond /.’a./ irvr b is recently been on a visit to Mr. Davis at Fortress Monroe. The following paragraph is from that ; paper: The editor of this paper lias lately en joyed the great pleasure of a visit to Ex -u t eut . at Fortress Monroe. It will be gratifying to the generous minded everywhere, and especially to the i-t pie ot the Ninth, to bo informed that his health has greatly improved under the humane treatment latterly accorded him.

"he Present Financial Excitement. The financial embarrassment respecting which w« warned our readers some time since, culminated last week, and has pass ed away, for the present at least. It only just stooped short of a crisis, and was un doubtedly the severest strain that has occurred in the money market for the last two years. A sufficient interval has elapsed to enable us to clearly ascertain the causes by which it was produced, and to deduce from it several important conclu sions respecting our systems of finance and currency! The more direct and immediate cause of the stringency was the withdrawal by the Government of a sum which it appears did not amount toover ten millions of dollars from the National Banks of deposit. This money was distributed in the various banks throughout the country, and the fact that the stringeiK-y wh’ch occurred, was vir tually restricted to this city, arose from the peculiar relations of New York with the provincial banks. Most of the latter maintain balances in this city, and drew upon them for the liquidation of their in debtedness to the Government, thus afford ing an illustration of ourfinancialsupremaey in a manner that is more flattering than desirable. The Secretary of the Treasury having some payments to make, deemed it proper to draw the money which had i»eeu deposited by the tax collectors and revenue agents to the credit of the Government. The hanks pay no inter i est for this money, and, of course, realize ; a profit from its use, and were bound to i return it on demand. It does not appear i that they were required to make these pay | ments suddenly. Indeed they were spread I over several weeks. 'The fact that the con ; tinuous withdrawal, for a few weeks, of a j sum of four or five millions of dollars from la volume of $380,000,000 of greenbacks | arid £2 ! J.S,OOO,O<X) of National Bank cur rency should occasion such a severe shock ; u the money mark- 1 and to the bu.-iatfss ; community generally, seems to refute the j theory that the circulation is excessive, t However this tray be, the lesson is an iin- j poriant one, and shows the dangpr of any sudden disturbing influences in the circu lating medium. The panic, if we inav so term it, did not terminate until Mr. Mc (Jnlloeii te!> graphed instructions on Friday last, to Mr. Van Dyck, the Sub-Treasurer, ! to receive payments at the option of the ; payer, in compound interest notes at par with inter - tallowed. This course afford ed immediate ease. The stringency soon terminated, and the money market, al though still exhibiting the languor that usually succeeds intense j excitement, is rapidly recovering its normal tone. Mr. McCulloch has been severely critized for his cour.-i- during the last few weeks in relation to this affair, and certain parties have gone so far as to procure signatures to a memorial for his removal. It must he remembered, however, that Mr. Mc- Culloch had only the alternative of expan sion or contraction open to him. lie wanted j to use the public money that was held by j the National Banks, and was obliged j cither to withdraw it or to re-issue cur- i rency, which was understood to have been j permanently withdrawn from circulation, j lie acted in accordance with his well know j principles in adopting the policy of restrict- j tion, and the parties that censure him for J it, would probably he the last to realize the terrible blow which they inflict against j the whole system of depositing the public j money in the National Banks by their com plaints of the Secretary oi" the Treasury. ; The experience of the last tfecw weeks will I | certainly go far towards strengthening the j i growing opposition to the deposit system. | The necessity for its adoption has passed ; I away with the war, and the extraordinary j i financial flurry of the last few weeks shows I that it is desirable to return to the good old j plan of depositing the public money, as 1 far a- practicable, in the nearest Sub- j 1 Treasury. The deposit of the receipts for j | taxes in other than Government hands in- ! volvcs a iliscrimina,ion for or against cer- ; \ tain hanks, and anything that looks like a j return to the vicious system oi “Bet | Banks” will he deservedly unpopular, even | apart from the fact that has just, been de- j ! monstrated, that a comparatively small amount cannot ho withdrawn from these | institutions without imposing a severe j strain upon them, and seriously deranging j I the business interests of the country. But ; 1 there is also another consideration. The 1 National Banks immediately lend out the ; i public money deposited with them, and it ! is easy to see that if the recent financial ! strain had developed into a panic, as was imminent at one time, the Government might have lost heavily by the inability of j the banks to collect their customer’s notes. But there were also other causes why the withdrawal of this comparatively insig nifieant sum of ten millions of dollars i should produce such an effect upon the market. There is a large sum of money employed at this season of the year in the removal of the crops to a market, and the drainage often millions occurred at a time when the money was in active operation and could not he made available. Then, also, the banks were necessarily obliged to contract their loans, and bush ! ness is so dull just now that any failure of the usual bank accommodations produced • distrust and alarm. There is no mistaking | the fact that the manufacturing interests I arc just now in an extremely unsettled j condition. Brices arc falling, and many i manufacturing establishments have large stocks of raw material tm hand that was : bought at a high price, and which can j neither be retained nor converted into | manufactured goods, except at a loss. This ! fact is perfectly well known to the banks and to the commission houses, and they therefore prudently hesitate to make ad vances to t lie manufacturers. The latter 1 are, consequently, obliged to contract the i operations and diminish production, until the fall in prices shall have again induced a demand for commodities. Ot course the stock market has felt the influence of the general depression, and for the last few weeks there lias been a decline in all kinds of stocks. Confidence is now being gradu ally restored, but it is apparent that busi ness and prices generally are in a transi tion state, and that there is a wide spread feeling to the effect that important changes are at hand. What these _ changes may be, may probably be determined in no slight degree by the message of the Presi dent, and the reports of the heads of de partments that are to be submitted to Congress.--.V. B. Mercantile Journal. S ad. —Young Leonard Jones, of Colum bus, went to Gettysburg to recover the remains of his father, (the lamented Col. John A. Jones,) and was bringing them home by sea, when the vessel sprung a leak and was abandoned. Captain Harris was not unmindful of the mission of one of his passengers, or of the memory of the dead Confederate soldier whose remains lay in the cabin of his ship. Ho proffered to make room in his boat for the box con taining the remains, ami to bear it. to any goal of safety that he himself might reach, but an attempt to remove them from their place of deposit was prevented by the depth of water in the cabin. So the shattered ship and her cargo were left to the mercy of the winds and waves. The drifting boats were rescued by the United States steamship Susquehannah. on her way from New York to Havana, with Gen. Sherman and Minister Camp bell aboard. The passengers and crew were conveyed - to Havana, from whence, after a stay of four days, they were returned to Baltimore on the steamship Liberty. \ The Columbus Sun Times, from which we gather the above particulars, says : Mr. Jones informs us that the field where were buried the Confederate dead of Gettysburg, has been put in cultivation, and that the mounds and head-boards have been leveled by the harrows which pre pared the ground for a crop of wheat. He also informs us that aboard of the Susqt < hannah, a man-of-war of the United States, he and his ship-wrecked compan ions were treated with little kindness or consideration. No remedies and food suitable to their exhausted condition were given them, and the deck and a blanket aud sail were the only accommo dations given to men who had been strug- i gling for life for days and nights against a storm of unparalleled violence. The Future or Savannah. We have for years contended that Savan nah was destined to be the most important city on the Atlantic coast, south of Balti more, and are glad to notice that some of the most sensible and far-seeing of our eo tempovaries are beginning to see and ac knowledge the truth of our position. The last number of the Tallahassee Sen tinel copies a short notice from the Netr .* and Herald in relation to direct trade, uad adds the following, which we commend to i the attention of ottr merchants. — Savan nah Advert her. 1 f Savannah will foster this trade as she should, she has it in her power to com mand‘as she is beginning to do, already) the trade of this entire section. None have failed to discover what an immense trade has already been turned from this region of country to the most enterprising city south ot the Potomac. Only a few days ago, we heard of five planters, none of whom had more than five bales of cotton—who got on the train here, with their cotton,' and mnt down to Savan nah to lay in their supplies; declaring that the increased price they received for their cotton and the reduced price at which they bought their supplies there, more than paid the expenses of their trip. If this be so now, what may Savannah not expect, if she applies herself, industriously, to de v. loping a heavy direct export and im port trade with Europe ? Chut JrsncE Chase and the Presi dent.—lt was remarked by Chief Justice Chase in regard to his late interview with President Johnson, that they discussed politics for some time, each one trying t.- convince the other that he was wrong, ! u tner succeeding, and the President show* mg no disposition to ret face, change, or rnoditj his steps.— (for.

Early Inquiries—Malicmmedans in Kai- ; 1 uug—Destruction of the Synagogue- Distressed Condition of life People— : Decay and Threatened Extinction. Pekin, China, June, ] s 66.—The city of Kai-sung-sec, the capitol of Honan, is famous as an ancient capitol of the empire, and the scene of stirring events in the history of China. To the Christian world, however, it possesses a deeper interest as the residence of a Jewish colony. They were discovered by the celebrated Father llicci, and early in the seventeenth century, full inquiries concerning their usages and manuscripts were made by Jesuit missionaries, who resided in that .city. In J*3o a deputation of native (’Kristians was sent among them by the Bishop of Victoria and the late Dr. Med lmrst. Two of the Jews were induced to go to Shanghai, and some of their Hebrew MSS. obtained; but up to the date of my journey, for more than a century and a half, they had not, so far as we are in formed, been visited by any European. It became, therefore, a matter of interest to ascertain their present condition; and, as 1 remarked in my last letter, this was the I chief consideration that induced me to make ! Kai-sung-see a point in the course ot my inland travels. What others may have i published I shall not repeat; hut con cisely as possible lay before you a view of I my own observations. Arriving in this city on the 17th of Feb ruary, I inquired for the Jewish syna gogue, hut getting no satisfactory answer, I went for information to a Mohommedan mosque, of wliic-h there arc no fewer than six. I was well received by the mufti; I and the advent of a stranger from the West, who was believed to be a worshipper of the “true Lord,” soon attracted a I large concourse of the faithful. At the i request of the mufti, holding a New Testament in my, hand, I addressed tiiem ] in relation to the contents of the Holy | Book of Jesus, whose name he pronounced I with great respect, as that ot the most ; illustrious of their prophets, Mahomet, of i course, excepted. j The Jew’s he denounced as Kafirs, and evinced no very poignant sorrow when he informed me that their synagogue baa come to desolation. “It was,” he assured me, “utterly demolished, and the people who had worshipped there scattered abroad.” “Then,” said I, “I will go and see the spot on which it stood ;” and di recting the bearers of my sedan to proceed to the place indicated by the mufti, 1 passed through streets crowded with spec tators until I came to an open square, in the centre of which there stood a solitary stone. On one side xvas an inscription commemorating the erection of the syna gogue in the reign of the Sung dynasty, A. I). 1103; and referring the first arrival of the Jews in China to the dynasty of Hon. B. C. 200, A. D. 200. ()n the other side was a record of its rebuilding in the dynasty of Ming, about three hundred years ago, but in addition to these inscriptions it bore an unwritten record of decay and ruin : it. was inscribed with Ichabod, “The glory is depaitcd. ” Standing on the pedestal, and restinemy right hand on the iipad of that stone which was to be a silent witness to the truths I was about to utter, I explained to the con gregated multitude my reasons for “taking pleasure in the stones of Israel, and favor ing the dust thereof.” ] then inquired if there were any of the Jews among my hearers. “T am one,” responded a young man, whose face corroborated his assertion, and then another and another stepped for ward, until I saw before me representa tives of six of the seyen families iuto which the colony is now divided. There, on this melancholy spot where the very foundations of tho synagogue had ! been torn from the ground, and there no l longer remained one stone upon another, | they confessed to me with shame and grief that their “holy and beautiful house” had been demolished by their own hands. It bad long been in a ruinous condition— ; they had no money to repair the breaches ! of the sanctuary. They had lost all knowl i edge of the sacred tongue, the traditions j of the fathers . were no longer handed down, and their ritual worship had ceased to he observed. In this state of things I they had yielded to tho pressure of ne j cessity, and disposed of the timbers and | stones of that venerable edifice to obtain relief for t heir bodily wants. \ In the evening some of them came to my lodgings, bringing for my inspection a roll _ of the law ; and the next day, the Christian Sabbath, they repeated their visit, listening attentively to all I had to say concerning the relations of the Law of Moses to the Gospel of Christ. They were very ignorant, but answered, as far as they were able, my inquiries in regard to their past history and present state. Two of them appeared in official costume, one wearing a gilt and the other a crystal ball : on the top of his cap, but far from sustain j ing the general character of their people i for thrift, they number among them none that are rich, and few who are not pinched by poverty. Some, indeed, true to their hereditary instincts, arc employed in a small way in banking establishments (the first man I saw was a moneychanger), others keep fruit stores and cake shops, drive a business in old clothes, or pursue various handicrafts, while a few find cm ploy men t in military service. The prevalence of rebellion in the Cen i tral provinces for the last thirteen years lias told sadly on the prosperity of' Kai fung-fee ; and the Jews have not unlikely, owing to the nature of their occupations, been the greatest sufferers. Their number they estimate, though not very exactly, at from two to lour hundred. They are un able to trace their tribal pedigree, keep no register, and never, on any occasion, as ; seinble together as one congregation. Until recently they had a common centre in this venerated synagogue, though their liturgical service had long been discon tinued. Now, however, the congregation seems to be following the fate of their building. No bond of Union remains, and they are in danger of being speedily ab sorbed by Mahominedanism or heathenism. One of them, to my knowledge, has become a priest in Buddha, taking, not very con- J sistentlv, for his sacredotal name, the I characters Pen tan , which signify “One who is rooted and grounded in the Truth.” The large tablet that once adorned the en trance of the synagogue, bearing on it the name of Israel, has been appropriated by ■ a Mahommedan mosque, and some efforts i have been made to draw the people over to ! the faith ot' Mahomet, from which their j practices differ so little that their heathen neighbors have never been able to distin guish them from Moslems. One of my visitors was a son of the last of their rabbis, who, some thirty or forty years ago, died in the province of Kansuh. With him perished the knowledge of the sacred tongue, and though they still pre- 1 serve several copies ’of the Jewish scrip- : tures, there is not a man among them who can read a word of Hebrew. Not long ago it was seriously proposed to expose i their parchments to public view in the market place, in hopes they might attract the attention of some wandering Jew, who would be able to restore to them the i language of their fathers. Since the ces sation of their ritual worship their children all grow up without the seal of the cove- | naut- The young generation are ali cir cumcised, and, as might lie expected, they no longer take pains' to keep their blood pure from intermixture with Gentiles. One : oi them confessed to me that his wife was a heathen. They remember the names of the Feast cf the Tabernacles, the Feast of unleavened Bread, and a few other cere monial rites which were practiced by a former generation, but all such usages are ; now neglected, and tbe next half century is not unlikely to put a period to their ; existence as a distinct people. In the margin of the Poyang Lake stands a lofty rock, so peculiar and so solitary ' that "it is known by the name of the Little Orphan. Its kindred rocks are all on the other side of the lake, whence it seems to have been torn away by some violent , convulsion, and planted immovably in the bosom of the waters. Such, to me. ap peared that fragment of the Israelitish . nation. A rook'rent from the sides of Mount Zion by some great national catas trophe, and projected into the central plain of China, it stands there an 'orphan, colony, sublime in its antiquity and soli- swallowed up and the spectacle i; a mournful one. The Jews themselves are deeply conscious of their sad situation, and the shadow of an j inevitable destiny seems to be resting upon ' them. Poor, unhappy people! A they in quired about the destruction of the Holy City, and the dispersion of the tribes and referred to their own decaying condition, what could I do to comfort them but point to Him who is the consolation of Israel ? ’ True, I told rtiem. the city of their fathers was broken down, and their people scatter- j ed and peeled, but the straw was not trodden under foot until it had yielded precious seed for disseminating in other ; fields. The dykes had not been broken 1 down until the time had come for pouring ; their fertelizing waters over the face of the j earth. Christian civilization, with all its j grand results, had sprung from a J ewish ; root, and the promise to Abraham been ! already fulfilled, that “in his seed all the nations of the earth should he blessed."— ! X. Y. limes. [communicated. ] State Aid. Editors of flic Chronicle <£■ Sentinel: —I I have but little objection to your editorial ! of the 2d inst. \ our criticism of my short j and crude article is indulgent and liberal, l and, in the abstract. I think your views i just. But these views, I apprehend, can not bet practically applied to the case in, hand. You thiuk State aid may be safely I | granted— -Ist, When State aid will not injure State j | credit. 1 2d. When the road seeking State aid ! I will not interfere with other improvements, I i "and shall be free from the objection of be- j ing antagonistic to existing vested rights,” j I and, I 3d, That the road to be aided shall pay ! j as an investment. With such restrictions, I believe, also, j that true statesmanship will not condemn , State aid. It is just upon these principles j that the State has heretofore acted, and j upon none other. Can the State now act without violating one and ali of these conditions ? And _ j Ist. As to State credit. State credit is j already depreciated. The State is already i in the market for large loans, and needs all i its credit. Throw a batch of $590,000 of these “State aid” bonds on the market, in competition with the Governor, and what would be the immediate effect upon the i price ? State credit would immediately i fall, and our worthy and patriotic Governor —now struggling to sustain State honor— i j would have to reduce liis figures, and no | j doubt heavily. Credit, like commodities, ] is affected by the relation between supply | and demand. Glut the market, and the j buyer controls it, and has everything liis own way. We should not only have a large addition of State credits in the mar ket, hut in the hands of needy holders, obliged to force sales at any sacrifice, or sus pend their works. To suppose that this flood of new State credits, hawked in the market by needy holders, would not affect State credits, is to ignore the most familiar principles recognized by business men in the practical affairs of life. 2d. Is there a single road projected or contemplated in connection with this sub ject, that would not violate the second con- I dition? Not one, I apprehend. Every interest created by the State road, was a new one, and not one old interest was de stroyed or injuriously affected. The same may be said of tile subscription to the Gulf i lload. Large interests arc developed and j created, but none destroyed, and the taxable | wealtli of the State was heavily increased, I whilst no citizen was injured. This is true j conservative wealth—producing statesman i ship, which makes “two blades of grass j grow where hut one grew before,” and it is the policy heretofore pursued. When South western Georgia was provided for, the State satisfied every claim that could be granted without a violation of some of the condi tions named. Every leading improvement proposed, comes in direct and destructive competition with the State road, or some other private enterprise of the citizens. One of them in fact, would drain the State of its wealth, without adding a dollar to its resources. It would have-been wise, perhaps, when the State, was in better condition, to have provided for the extension of railroad im provements into the mountain region of North-Eastern Georgia. If it had not paid “as an investment,” the State wou'd have been fully compensated in keeping our population at home in summer, instead . of draining the State of millions wasted in foreign travel. Nothing is proposed, how ever, for this region. When undertaken, I the object may be accomplished by extend- I ing existing improvements, and without affecting the State road or any other estab lished interest. I will not elaborate the subject, though I consider it almost of vital importance to the State at this time. Both public and private credit are shaken and depressed, and repu diation of sacred private contracts is discuss ed. Collateral guaranties are not considered so sacred as direct obligations for full consid eration received. These bonds would there fore be looked upon as of an inferior grade, yet the price would regulate the marled val ue of all our State debt. When a State weakens its own credits, by scattering them broadcast for tho benefit of private corpo rations, it cartnot expect the public to ap preciate them more highly than the State it self. _lf the subject were entirely new, and the history of other States were not open to us. wc might Joave something to conjec ture, hut as it is we have no excuse for dis regarding the teacliings of history, and Hie experience of others. I will say a few words more upon the constitutional question, which 1 barely touched in my former article. Whatever may have been the precise object in view in framing this provision in the new Con stitution, the provision, both in letter and spirit, is a complete prohibition of all State aid to private corporations. . “No law shall he passed by which a citizen shall ho compelled directly or in directly to become a stockholder in or contribute to a railroad, or other work of internal improvement without liis consent.” The leading object of this provision was to prevent the private rights of the citizen from being invaded, and despoiled by in terested combinations with the aid and au thority qf the State. Now tor a brief analysis and application. The State issues $500,000, to aid the Ma con and Brunswick road, and $500,000, to aid the Air Line road. The one strikes a heavy blow at the interest of every “citi- j zen” of Savannah, and every stockholder in the Central road. The other strikes ai blow equally heavy, to every citizen of j Athens and Augusta, and every share- i holder in the Georgia road. These are all “ citizens ” and ta.c payers, they do not ! “consent,” but remonstrate of course, i | Their credit and property are pledged, for ; | every dollar of the million of hands issued. \ ! The moment the bonds are. issued, they are forced to “ contribute indirectly” to : a railroad “ against their consent,’ ’ and t | ruinous to their interest! Let us proceed j 1 a little further. A railroad makes default I I —an event not only possible, but an oe | currenco constantly happening in other j | States, and which in some instances would ! probably happen here. In this case the : bankrupt road falls upon the hands of the ! State. Then every citizen tax-payer be- ! ; comes indirectly, a stockholder in a road j to which ho lias been “forced to contrib- ' ■ uie." The whole principle at this stage of our j | history, is inexpedient, partial, oppressive i and wrong, and as I believe unconstitution | Georgia. Bonded Cotton. j , The following important communication i is published in the Savannah Republican: Assessor's Office, l r. S. In. Revenue, Hist, of Florida. - Newnansville, Nov. 24, 1866. j Col.

In- 1 ternal Revenue: • Sir— -In reply to your letter, of this date, j | in relation to the shipment of cotton from I th's District under bond, in accordance! ! with “additional regulations” from the | Treasury Department, dated October 22d, ! j 1860, I have respectfully to state that I , am, and have at all times been ready to grant permits for the removal of cotton under said regulations, when sufficient and properly authenticated bonds have been, j or shall be, filed in my office, in accordance with instructions in said regulations. When such bonds shall be filed, I will j cheerfully grant the permits, as it is my ! duty to do, under the law and regulations : of the Department. Although, perhaps, not strictly author ized by law to do so, yet, in view of the delays attendant upon getting permits from this office. I shall authorize my as sistants at Live Oak Station, Jacksonville and St. Marks, to grant permits under my instructions. 1 am, very respectfully. Ac., (Signed) Lemuel Wilson, Assessor D> st. of Florida. Shanks, a New Pork Herald's corres pondent during the rebellion, is out in a war book. He says Sherman is bad tem pered and an egotist. Joe Hooker vain, and Thomas cold blooded and heartless. He asserts that Rosecrans never saw the bat rie-field of Chickamauga, and that Gordon Granger, during that engagement, left his corps to a subordinate, while he assumed the direction of a field battery. General McCook is represented as “an overgrown schoolboy, McPherson as a mere rist ; Haileek as "too good a lawyer ever to have been a good soldier,” Crittenden as a country lawyer, with little legal and no military ability. In short, Shanks ! seems to be pleased with no prominent 1 figure in the war, except —Shanks.—Nash- ville Union. Fire at Newberrv.—The stable and outbuildings on the premises of Mr. Pay singer at Newberry, were burned down on : Friday evening last. It is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. Circuit Court met It o’clock, a. fu., ouTuaday. Burning of Colombia.—' The burning of our pretty city hr that chief of incen- | diaries—Sherman— k now being investi- j gated, and the tejOmony of those who were present and yitnessed the conflagra- i tion, will fix the damning evidence of his j guilt in impcrisinble characters on the record of history. Col. South Carolinian, j Execution.—Henry Cheatham, a negro, was executed at Anderson on Friday last, in the presence of an immense crowd ot i whites and black?. It will be remembered that Cheatham, in conjunction with Dan Johnson, brutally ; murdered a while youth named Geer, near Anderson, last January. He confessed his guilt.— Col. South Carolinian. Fire in- Greenville.—A fire broke put in Greenville, about 5-} o’clock on Tuesday evening which destroyed Meßee's Hail, two stores uuder the buildiug. occu pied by Thos. Steen, grocer, and Dr. AN est morelaud, and adjoining building occupied as a drug store by F. A. Walter. _ The postoffice caught fire, but was extinguished. The fire was the result of accident. — Col. Phoni*. The Relief Question.— A correspon dent of the Edgefield Advertiser suggests that the Legislature recommend to the ; citizens of each district to appoint a com mission of eight responsible persons, to whom all matters of indebtedness shall be submitted, and that they decide as to how the same shall be settled —having a due regard to justice and equity between the parties. For Edgefield District the fol lowing named gentlemen are recommended to constitute said commission, viz : F. W. Pickens, Tillman Watson, Geo. Boswe'l, Geo. 1). Huiet. John P. Mickler, Jona than M. Miller, D. C. Tompkins and Jno. F. Talbert. Meeting of tiie Bondholders of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. —At a meeting of the second lien, first mortgage holders of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, held at 12 o’clock m., on the 28tli ultimo, at the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank, the committee previ ously appointed reported that they had purchased at the public sale on the 20th inst., from the trustees of that Company, the Charleston and Savannah Railroad and all its appurtenances, i'or the benefit of this class of bondholders; when, on motion, it was Besolved, That the bondholders who have signed tho authority .y which this committee purchased the Charleston and Savannah Railroad now organize them selves into a company, to be called the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Com pany, and that the capital stock of said Company be one million of dollars, divided into ten thousand shares at one hundred dollars each. Besolved, That we proceed to tho elec tion of a Board of Trustees for the Savan nah and Charleston Railroad Company, now organized, to consist of five members. Under the foregoing resolution, the fol lowing named gentlemen were appointed Trustees of the Company : George AY. AYilliams, Esq., Wm. S. ITas tie, Esq., J. Reid Boylston, Esq., John S. Ryan, Esq., of Charleston; Dr. F. T. AVii lis, of Savannah. On motion, the meeting adjourned. Wm. S. ILvstie, Chairman. J. Drayton Ford, Secretary. Stand From Under.—We have recent ly noticed, says the Charleston Courier, the decline in prices of breadstuff’s, meat, dry goods, and other articles. Tho general j break-down has. created a panic in the New York money market, and no one can foresee the end. AVe now have a word specially for holders of flour. Intelligence from Russia, our rival iu the production of grain, shows that the crops in the neigh borhood of Odessa are very full, and that there is a large quantity, more than usual, for shipment. As Russia supplies Europe with grain in part, and sells lower than we can, it follows that there will bo but little demand upon the United States for bread stuffs next year. In this view of the case, it is time for holders of flour to put down their prices, as the sooner they yield to the pressure the better it will be for them selves and consumers. It is well known that our grain crop is unusually large, par | ticularlv in the AVest. An effort is being made by some tnanu | facturers of woollen goods to induce the owners of mills throughout the country to reduce the hours of labor or to run their mills on half time during the next ninety days, in order to allow the trade to reduce the large surplus of manufactured goods now on hand, and which, it is stated, are now being sold at less price than for the past eight or ten years, even when wool was thirty cents and gold at par. Unless this is done a further reduction in prices is anticipated aiid consequent embarrassment and failures amor.g the manufacturers and those who have large stocks of goods on hand. Soldier Shot and Killed.—On yes terday morning as a soldier belonging to the United States infantry was coming to town from camp without a pass, he was ordered to halt by the patrol guard sta tioned near the old Fair Grounds. He re fused to Halt, whereupon tho guard fired upon him, killing him instantly.—Rich mond (Fa.) Dispatch, 26th. Yield of tiie Onondaga Salt Mines. —Tiie whole quantity of salt inspected on the Onondaga Salt Spring Reservation, from January Ist to November 17th, 1860, is 6,808,327 bushels.
