Accident. —Yesterday whilst a seaman on
board the ship Harmony was engaged in at*
landing to his duties, he accidently fell over
board, and was so severely injured by falling
on a raft, that he had to be conveyed to tbo
Hospital for treatment.
‘ City Council There was a brief session
fast evening. Ordinances were passed relative
to the city printing, and also 1&t the mainten
ance of the Massic school, also for a meetiug to
be called next Thursday on a li nance question.
Christmas Goods.—The Poets of the Nine
teenth Century is one of the very appropriate
books for the season, now on sale ut the book
store ol Mr. J. B. Cub hedge, it is but recent
ly from the press, and is bound in handsome
style, to suit well for a Christmas preseut*
Ritirib Naval Officers—We learn from
Washington that several naval officers retired*
and otherwise effected by the action of the late
Naval Board, have been nominated by the
President to the benate for restoration to their
former standing, in pursuance of the recommeu
dation of the Courts of Inquiry.
A Holiday for the Printkis.—Custom
out here has granted to printers, the privilege
of getting a day’s Chriatm&s in their bones on
this joyous festival. Therefore there will be uo
paper issued from this office to-morrow (Satur
day). The Georgian will appear on bunday
morning as usual
Race To-Day —A saddle-horse race comes
off this afternoon on the Ten Broeck Course—a
single mile dash lor a purse, and free for all
nags owned in this county.
About ten horses will start, so there will be
some line riding shown on the track.
The public gats next to the railroad track
will be the only one open, and admission twen
ty-five cents. •
The Ego Nogg B*ason—Eggs have gone
up to so high a price in our market during the
last sow days that we cannot understand how
the sellers will be able to look a hen in the face,
without blushing, for a month of Sundays to
come.
borne folks will have to take the “ Nogg ’
without the “ Egg,” and doubtless such will
have a faying effect upon some constitutions.
Improvements on Bay bTKBET.-We perceivo
a very improving moveinoutv being effected oi*
the north aide running west
ia,.k building there
in progress of being
re-modelled, it will be raised oae story high- I
er, giving it a decidedly improved appearance
on Bay street. The frout is the best quality of
Philadelphia brick. This property is owned
by John Htoddar,d Esq., and the improvements
are under the supervision of Mr. J. 8. Norris,
contractor and architect.
Blitz at St. Andrew's Hall.—The varied
and attractive, as well as intensely iutcreetiug
performance*of Senior Blitz, will eoon be at an
end in this city, after which he goes to Macon-
Betides his astonishingly trained canary birds
and his illusions, transformations, experiments
and deceptions, he will exhibit powers of ven
triloquism, which will be a most laughable ex
hibition of that wonderful power. Conversa
tions with a great number of imaginary per
sons, a change of voice from old to young, and
the distinctness of tone ia so perfect as to be
scarcely credited that the human voice is ca
pable of such variety. Imitations will he given
of children crying, old and young singing, in*
sects, birds, Ac. He like- -j .Tuilu-< a
dance of six plates on a • ■ iu.*•> *ubje. *aec
advertisements and oiua.
A Blitz-ism. —Yesterday tin* renowned Ven
triloquist was pawing along tlie do* k wliil< a
couple of negroes w*re bu*y lurniiiK vrr*ole
of cotton for shipment. HmSignor thought
he'd try their feelings ou oui •• peculiar insti
tutiona,” and as the bale was hoisted on end,
he made a voice appear to proceed from it, say
ing :
“ Say, boys, don’t turn mo on my head so
much.”
The negroes dropped the bale, looked at each
other and exclaimed, “ What dal V’
The voice from the bale continued, “ Hush,
I’ao agwine to a free .State, say miffiu.”
“ You’so going to do no sitch trick !” said
the cotton haulers, and oft’ they ran for help to
get the runaway negro out of the cotton bale !
Mint Uavinpoi t.
So far the weather, aided to some extent, we
regret to say by the weukuesa of the company,
has greatly militated against the success of
Hiss Davenport s engagement^
and consequently indulge the hope, that we
may be able to note a pleasing improvement,
both in the actors and audiences.
Hiss Davenport comes to us with a reputa
tion fully ripened and matured by long and
careful study, and endorsed y frequent and
brilliant triumphs on the American and Eng
lish stage. That she has no living superior in
her line is generally admitted ; onr experience
in the dramatic world has not shown us her
equal. %
It would be a serious reflection upon the
taste and generosity of a Savannah public, if
she were allowed to quit our lioards without
an expression of approval from onr people,
commensurate with her high talents and at
tainments.
Capture of Slavers, s*r. —The bark Win. G.
Lewis 35 dajß from the coast of Africa, ar
rived at Norfolk, Va., ou the 21st. She was
captured as a slaver in the Congo River by a
boat belonging to an expedition commahded by
Lieutenants Walker and Cummings, from the
U. S. sloop-of war Dale, Captain Mcßlair com
mending.
The brig Windward, captured as a supposed
alaver, is expected to arrive in a few days.
The British steamer Elector had seized the
hark Clara B. Williams, and an American
aobooner.
There were a great many slavers on the
coaet. and twelve had been captured since the
arrival of the Dale. The Dale was to leave
40on for Helena. All well ou board.
Qtorgia Conference —The amount collected
for the support oi missions daring the last year
within the bounds of the Conference was for
Missions $18,190 00
For the Tract cause 3,983 71
For the Sunday School cause 2,207 12
For the Bible cauee 2,867 77
Christmas.
Hsre we are cheering up over the last sparks
of the ember* of the fast dying old 1867, mak
ing us feel—
“ With what acceleiated speed the years
Seem to flit by ns, sowing hopes and tears,
As they pursue their never-ceasing march !
and causing us to ask ourself, as the world, —
“But is our wisdom equal to the speed,
Which brings us nearer to the shadowy bourn.
Whence we must never, never more return?
Whereupon, as we look upon the world at
large, ths-4hairer to this query seems uot
to bejas satisfactory as toe individually could
deeire. However that be, this is a season, natu
rally ice-clad, but ever rendered glowing by
“merry Christmas,’’ gladsome.gatherings and
social rejoicings. It is passed with joyous fa
ces round well-spread tables and happy fire
sides, and with becoming acts of generous hos
pitality, good-will towards all men, and alms
deeds to the poor and destitute.
“This month at last, Times annual circle fills,
But empties pockets with its Christmas bills;
Tne prickly holly, every place adorns,
Shewing that Cnristmas pleasures have their
thorns.'’
As our readers are aware, the term Christ
mas, comes from the Latin Church, and is a
corruption of the words Christi missa (the
mass of Christ.) In former times the celebra
tion of Christmas began as it were last evening,
—on Christmas eve, when, according to an
authority at our elbow, the house was tin*
decked with holly, ivy and other evt>-j'< ecus.
Candles of an uncommon size were liapwTL un
der the name of Christmas candW* which
-iu*uld,uut_fee snuffed or touched till burnt out.
Am enormous log, called the lure log orC’brist
uias block, was laid upon the fire while the
people sate around regaling themselves with
beer, egg nogg, Ac. in the course of tbejuight
small parlies went about the neighborhood
from bouse to house, siugiug what were called
“Christmas carols”—simple, popular ditties,
full of joyful allusions to the Redeemer. A
mass was commenced in the churches at mid
night, a custom still kept up with splendor iu
Catholic countries.
The oldest style of English songs are the
Christmas carols, which souuded pleasant to
the half-slumbering ear on Chrismas morning.
They were generally in this wise:
“ God rest yon, merry geutleman,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Sav.or
Was bom upon this day—
To save us all from Satan's power,
When we were gone astray.
Oh, tidings of comfort aud joy,
For Jesus Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day.”
There were many more customs in “the good
old times’ at this season, which are dying awnj,
like distant music, and which find but a lamt
echo in our modern matter-of-lact days of “men
tul and moral progress.' 7 Still, at the preseut
day all who understand the anniversary they
celebrate must know the daties attendan
thereon and while you pursue them midst
peace, plenty and joy, we wish you courteous
reader
A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

New Sugar Cane.— lt is said that some
difference of opinion has arisen as to the com
parative value of the several species of new
sugar cane that have been introduced to Amer
ican agriculture. The sorghum, or Chinese
sugar cane, has been established by the perse
vering efforts of Mr. Browne, Superintendent
of the Agricultural Division of tfce Patent Of
fice, as rich in saccharine properties and use
ful as food for stock. The only rival which
has yot appeared to the sorghum is the imphec
or African cane. The stalk is rich in juices,
and the bead of the plant is an ear of corn re
sembling the Egyptian doura.
Gov. Hammond,of S. C., has cultivated both
plants ou Ilia estate season. The im
pbee is later in ripening than the sorghum,
and for that or some other reason Gov. Ham
moud turned his swine into the field of im
plies, which of course precluded a trial of ite
worth as a sugar producing plant.
The manager far Governor Hammond was
Mr. Ilay, who has been chiefly instrumental in
introducing the imphee. Mr. Ray has taken
out a patent for the manufacture of sugar from
the African cane.
