Ihe 13»h. *' ^ A boating party wei^j^bnjbe rfrer, near Stalling’s Bluff, consisting of Dr. L. Q. Tucker, Mr. Finley J Fmlsyson, Miss Ura nia McRae and Miss Anabella McRie. Mr. Finlayson was a brothel of the late Mr. Jno. Fmlafraop, formerly well known in Savan nah,* wiose Bstale tie came here to settle up some two years ago, from Invernosi county, Scotland. He had settled here, and was planting in Montgomery county. The Misses McRae were daughters of Mr. Alex ander McRie, of Tatnall county, also ol Sootch descent, but wit^ numerous connec tions in Georgia. As the boat was shooting through a nar row, swift curreut, the Doctor sitting in the stern of the boat, and Mr. Pinlayson in the bow, the latter leaned over too much and made an injudiciously heavy stroke with his paddle, and the boat capsized. Mr. F. sunk near where the boat was upset, and lifs body .has not yet been recovered. Dr. Tucker is a good awiinmer, and very cool. He quickly righted the boat and as sisted the youug ladies in clinging to it. It again wag overturned, and the second time both ladies, by Dr. Tucker’s assistance, suc ceed in obtaining a hold on the boat. As it floated down the stream, the curreut being very rapid, Miss Uraoia’s strength failed. As she lost her grasp her sister caught her by the hand, and retained the hold till the boat struck a tree, opposite Mr. Washington Adams’ place, and Miss Urania sank. Mi68 Anabella grasped a limb of the tree, and was resened that night by Wm McRae and John D. McLeod. Miss Urania's body was recovered on the evening of the loth. The sad event has filled the whole com monity with mourning, and in Savannah many friends of both of the deceased will be pained to hear the announcement of the accident. UWNIAITI AMD TU PKlOl OF bLlDI. Xfl ordtr to aKrftQi lmmifr*0l8, it is neces sary that cmr land! should bepntatauch rates as will please them, within the reach of those who desire to purchase. The fol lowing from a comriUinicalion published in the Opelousas Journal, is pertinent to this subject: “We must sell a portion of our lauds at about one-half or one-third the present pri ces, if we would encourage immigration, aud build up our country. If you huve a thou sand acn-a of land, which you are now ask ing $10,000 for, with the impiovements, you t will do baiter to divide it into twenty parcels of fifty acres each, sell the odd numbers of the paicels at the nominal price of, say five dollars per acre on loug lime, with qnnual pay menu—say to be paid in five annual pay ments with interests. By so doing, at the end of five years yonr remaining paicels will be worth more than you now ask for all of it. Or a still better plan would be to present the odd parcels to well recomended citizens, on qQQdition that they, within one or two years, put good substantial improvements on them, worth a specified sum, say $800 or $1,1)00. Having the intermediate tracts thus improv ed, would, in the first place, give you good society; secondly enable you to build up good schools at home; thirdly, it would b-iug capital iuto the country; fourthly, it would bring labor in; and lastly, it would make the balang) of your land worth at least double the amount you now vainly ask for it. Tbi can all be accomplished within three years. These are sound views. Ah a general principle we have too much land, and there is an immense deficiency ol population and labor throughout the South. Il we were to give e%iry landless person iu the Southern States as much land as he could cultivate, there would still be a surplus on our hands, and we would have uo one to cultivate it for This State of affairs is burdeusooie nou t Therz are two hundred and forty-three convicts confined in the Georgia Peniten tiary-whites, one hundred; blacks, one hundred and forty-three. Hon. J. B. Galbraith, Attorney General, has been elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows ol Florida. The Quincy (Fla.) Commonwealth says that passengers to 8 tvannah from that place are patrooizing the Atlantic and Gulf Road, takin g the train at Bainbridge. Grant and Sherman both advise Stanton to resign. Per contra, it is said, all the Re publican members of Congress have signed a paper asking him not to resign. Gsn. Meade.—Smator Wilson, says a dis patch to the New York Commercial Adver tiser, has received a letter from Gen. Meade to the effect that he will take strong Badioal measures aud enforce the reconstruction policy of Congress. It is rumored at Washington that the next revolutionary measure to be introduced by the Radicals will be a bill asserting the power of Congress to regulate the elective franchise in all the States, and providing for the execution thereof. The late George W. Kendall, of the New Orleans Picayune, in his last letter to one of his old associates, says : “ Do yon know, Bullitt, that -hi all my life I never went to school t&n months ?”—adding, “ the little I ever learned was from running against peo ple who had enjoyed more advantages.” Thb New Orleans Crescent assails Edwin Booth’s conception of the character of Ham let as radically false. It says that Mr. Booth’s Hamlet i9 based on Goethe’s famous criti cism of the character in “Wilhelm Meis- ter,” and that this is entirely opposed to a true reading of the text. Goethe and Booth have, however, the vast majority of critics on their side. Don Platt, a leading and influential Ohio Radical* says in a recently published letter that General Grant can’t go into the Presi dency with his month shat, that the two hundred and seventeen thousand Ohio Re publicans “would not support the Angel Ga briel on such terms.*’ He adds: “Weston can ..walk,-hod Oobum can fight, and old Billy Seward, with our government on the verge of bankruptcy, can purchase the north pole and fever-stricken islands under the torrid zone; but all this won’t scall a pot- meal kettle np the Niagata with a crowbar, as Weed, Raymond & Co., are trying to da” The facetious old Radical is correct in his conclusions. “Marshal Brown’s pops” can' elect Gram, scull they ever so hard. What Grant Did Sat.—The truth is. that he merely expressed to bia man Friday (Washburne) his preference for Butler’s amendment conferring all power there upon the pegro Conventions.—Baltimore Gazette— Washington letter. Josiah Cook, of Buffalo, has entered a suit against “Blind Torn,” the pianist, and his agent, and doorkeeper at St. James Hall, for the forcible ejection of one George Dover (a negro barber) and his wife from one of Blind Tom’s entertainments after they had purchased tickets of admission. Washington specials of the last few days say that Ulysses, the Silent, shrinks from the Emperorship of the excluded States. Maybe he thinks with Wolsey, that “’tie too much honor—a load would sink a navy.” , ■ t- ; > «t What is Proto mo.—The Chicago Times, of the I5tb, thus gives the design of Con gross, in the last amendments to the scheme of reconstruction : Ji is proposed to make Grant dictator that he may, through military despotism, redace the noblest, 'most intelligent, and gallant white men ol the South to subjection to the. brutalized negroes who have jutt emerged from the degradation of life loug and abject slavery. It is proposed to make him dicta tor, that he may fasten with the bayonet this libel oo bis own race, and on men who prayed themselves hie superiors on battle-fields where the slain in the army ot the coming dictator outnumbered the entire force op posed to him. It Is proposed to make him dictator, that he may carry to completion the infamies we have enumerated, and add to them the crowning pne, of electing him self to the Presidency by agencies hideons, brutal, and beyond expression, criminal. Such are the purposes of one of the bills coming bt fore Congress on Monday. The o her* n lined aro i iteu-ted to lend It addi tional strength, and are parts of the one gotten! nnd traitorous eoMpirnNy. and will necessarily become ftiore so in the future. Let us therefore get rid of our sur plus lands by dividing them np and telling them in small tracts to actual settlers on rea sonable terms and on long endits. We know of what we are writing, and assert on good authority, that there are iu the North of England and South of Scollaud alone, fifty thousand of the best laborers, formers and artizans in the world, who cau be set tled here in the manner we propose. A brave, hardy, industrious and thrifty class, that would make our old fields garden spots, and whose stern love of liberty aud justice would make them good and worthy citizens, not to speak of the rest of Europe. Many worthy men at Ihe North would also settle here if offered these inducements. There are many young men in the South, wbc fought nobly in the late war, who are land less. There are some honest, industrious, and faithful negroes who, if encouraged, wonld do well tor themselves and help great* ly to restore the prosperity of the country. Why not sell to such persons ? Let us make oar young men landholders. Let us intro- dace goodly nambers of reliable foreigners. Let us bring some of the mind and genius and mnscle ot the North to our aid. Let us do these things, and we shall save ourselves a world of trouble, do onr country a lasting service, aod cause our names to be blessed by posterity. Let us do them at ouce, while we have the choice of settlers, and can di vide our lands to suit ourselyea. The question which is most vital to the landholders of Georgia aud the South in the possible political future is the subject of taxation. For the first time iu the history of the world a government is inaugurated in Georgia aud the other Southern Stales iu which the m9n who are to pay the taxes and support the burdens of government are in a hopeless mioority. Many of these are ex eluded entirely from participation in the affairs of the Goveinmeot, while nearly the whole of them are exoluded from holding office. Besides all this, the party who have the power to govern Georgia contemplate a system of taxation which would at once de stroy the landholder. It would not only de prive him of his jnst inheritance, for which his fathers of revolutionary memory fought, but would involve him in hopeless indebted ness and endless troubles. We are credibly informed that it is seriously conlumpiakd to do away with all capitation tux, to exempt •mall property holders, aud to lay the whole harden of taxation on land. Besides all this, it is designed to tax a certain quantity of land at a reasonable per cent., and hll over that amount at so much per acre, makiDg the tax so great that the holders will be driven to sell. Now, any man with three gruius of «en?>e will see where and how this would place the land owners of Georgia. Here, then, is the difficulty. Where is the remedy ? We an swer, in the adoption of the above sugges tions. By Telegraph. NIGHT DISPATCHES. For telegraph to marketiaee Ootoffierirtui Intel ligence. FROM WASHIJiGTOS. Congressional Proceedings, Ac. The Humbug or Western Emigration.- The following extract from a letter to tb Lynchburg Advertiser, is commended to the attention of yonng men contemplating erni gration to the West. That country may be fair in some parts to some people, but to the mass of emigrants, the South is a preferable region now. The letter is from Omaha, on the line of the great Pacific railioad, Ne braska. Read : In your paper of the 18th instant, I noticed a letter from Mr. A. R. Oliver, a Scotch sur geon, describing this section of country, and was very forcibly struck with the irnth of bia^tatemeuts. There have been loo many false tale* related about the Great West* and it is time some one were tumid who can state the truth in referenco to it. Thousands have been indneed to emigrate here who upon their arrival have been doomed to bit ter disappointment. They have found the supply of lab .r invariably greater than the demand, and away from their friends and without employment they have endured ma ny privations- I would advise all and espe cially young men who have a desire to seek their fortuoei iu this country to »tny away, l'hev can do equally as well at home. After one leaves the Missouri river aud strikes Westward be commences his season of trib ulation. There are about three occupations to which he can tarn his atrenrioD, viz: Mining, bullwacking aod working on ifTe railroad. Mining, as all know, is a hard ami uncertain mode ol making a living, aud where one makes money hundreds “barely are able to make a support for themselves. Bullwacking too is a bard life. Not only is it poor pay, bat one experiences all the hardships incident to a life nu the plains Of r»ilroadiog, J need hardly speak, as all know what a life it is. These, then, are all the avenues open to the emigrant. 1 have said nothing in reference to farmers, as there is so little farming land west of here as hardly deserve mention. I have been led to make these remarks in order to correct a false impresssion which has gained credence East, that this is tin: country to make money iu. Of one thing I am very well satisfied, it is a most elegant country to get rid of. Death or Ms. Astor.—Yesterday morn ing John Jacob Astor, second son of the founder of the Astor family, died in this city, in his 65th year. In bis youth he was kicked in the held by a horse, which disor dered his intellect rendering a guardian necessity for him through life. His father left him $10,000 a year, and the valuable Mock of ground bounded by Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets and Tenth and Eleventh avenues. In Ihe large brick home situate on that property, amid the pleasant sur roundings of garden shrubbery and shade trees, he lived for over twenty yea»s, to the close of his life. By the will of his lather this property now reverts to Mr. William B. Astor.—N. Y.

A startling pit of intelligence was com mu ulcated to o* yesterday by a gentleman jdst returned from Florida. We give publicity to il for the benefit of the friends (so-ealleii) of humanity, and hqpe . they will take prompt steps to correct We*lrvil. Slavery nctually stiil cxi-tts iu Florida! The rem nant of the Seminole Italians yet lingering in the classic shades of the Everglades still own slaves, and persist in keeping themiu a state of involuntary servitude ; and, do it, too, iu open'defiance of Ihe great powers ut Washington, and ihe laws they have en acted.. When “Billy”—rhiiq f oi the “bow legs"—and liis followers transferred their bag aud bagnage to ihe limiting grounds of the Great West, they were the owners of a number of slaves. Those slaves did not wish to accompany the aforesaid “Wm.” of toe crooked-shanks, and were regularly sold to lliai remnant of the teminole tribe which refused to migrutc, and are still to be found luxuriating iu the umbrugeoufl shades of the Everglades. One Old “Big-lDjun-Me” is said lb be the owner of several strapping negro follows, aud when admonished that the “instituti »n' ? was a de funct one, replied : “Ugh ! mine—give. Bill Bowlegs blanket aud shot gun—ugb! miue! " Other influential iheu uif the crilie own H.aves, and openly defy any power to take them. We tiusl this outrage will not be permitted by the “great powers”—this last foul blot upon the bright escutcheon of our one country—and that a “commission*’ will at once be sunt down to wipe it out. Geu. Meade cau do it. Florida is within his bail iwick, and why not let the commission now engaged in “doing up” the Augusta muni cipality continue their peregrinations ? US II It wry Tribunals before the Supreme ’ Court. [From the Natlbntl Intelligencer ] The argument in tho Supreme Court yes terday, in relation to the McArdle case, was brief, but impressive. ’ 'Pne motion to ad Vance this cause on the docket was resisted by Senator Trumbull and Judge Hughes, ut the request ot the War. Department. • Judge Trumbull and his associate resisted the motion on the ground tfiat it was unne cessary and involved political considera tions. They pretended to claim that the c;i9C was not a criminal one, and did uot, therefore, come under the rule of the court or the act ofCougress which authorized the hearing out of its regular place op the docket, although they coincide that the question rested in the discretion of the Court. Judge Black completely riddled the posi tion of his opponents. With au eloquence that commanded a dcAth-hke Stillness, and a cogency that carried universal conviction, he showed that this was a criminal case. Here was a mun arrested by the military authorities, and charged with an alleged criminal offence, who was likely to be pun ished by a military court, aud had applied lor a writ of habeas corpus iu order to avert a punishment by a tribunal unknown to the law. The uniform usage ol the e urt amt the enactment ot Congress required that such a Cuse should be heard in advance of auy merely civil cause. In this view, ull the executions might take place under the military powei, authorizing this arrest, even felonious murders; and iie wanted to know if the court would take the responsibility ol postponing.a.decision for three years iu a case of such transcendaot importance. But if that authority was uuderraied by this court, if it eveu decided tliut for one- half of this Republic, one imperian domain, rivalling Europe iu its exhaustless resources, the provision of the Constitution requiring a jury-trial to the citizen was a dead leltar, the country should kuow at the curliest mo ment that we wcie living no longer in a land ot liberty, but ot'despotism. It wus unpre cedented to resist such a motion. Tise Mil ligan case, which was precisely unalagnus to this, had been advanced without auy question being raised about it, and though Ibe court might be villified, as it bad been before, bo called upon them to do their duty. The speech of Ju<ige Blaek was brief but i; was conclusive, and a model of forensic elo quence. What ihe result Will be remains to be seen, as the decision, according to cus tom, was reserved. Important Case in the United States Supreme Court.—A case involving the ques tion as to whether the Southern States which arc excluded from representation in Congress are Stales of the Union, and Whether they have a standing iu this United Supreme Court, will be argued before the Supreme Court. Thecase grows out of in demnity bonds of' the Ur'fed States to Texas, amounting to several millions of dol lars. These bonds remained in possession of the Stale until some time during the late war, when the Confederate State govern ment of Texas sold them to White, Chiles &. Co., of Kentucky, and to other parties iu New York and elsewhere. Iu the early part of 1867 Mr. K. T- Menick, of Washington City, D. C., as counsel for the State of Texas, made application for an injunction to preveut the ucgotiu on of the bohds thus sold. The injunction was granted, and now the purchasers coine into court and, Lbroagh their counsel, Messrs. *J. (J. Carlisle & Hughes and Denver & Peck, ask a dissolu tion of the injunction, on the ground th Texas is not a Slate in the Union, aud has no squifliog in the Supreme Court. Messrs. R. S. fireut & Taylor are associated with Mr. Merrick as attorney for the State of Texas. 8EV GOODS Af^HE 8. P. D. G, H. M A ft L 6 w ' i I' M- _ < ' ' Fnr Salfi nr Rent ■& WATKINS.
