NEW VBAB IK SAVIHKAH.
A beautiful sun ushered in the Now Year, aitor
natlng.wltb a chill oold. suoh as we had Yesterday j
and Savannah, like a penitent soul, seemed to re
pose in Its blessings. Congratulations were ex
changed throughout all the camps, and New Year's
.calls were made at all the headquarters, General
Sherman receiving the greatest number of visits,
an 4 giving all a weloome in his gentlemanly way.
All the ohttrehes were open for appropriate service,
and only very remote allusion was made in or
the pnlpits to the one general condition and feeling
of the people of Savannah. General Sherman at
tended service at the First Independent Presbyte
rian Church, one of the handsomest buildings In the
city, where Sr. Axon, a preacher of talent and re
putation, gave excellent delivery to a well-written
sermon on tribulation. -
, THU n-EBEDMEK.
-To-day a meeting of the freed oolored folks of Sa
vannah was held in the Old African Baptist Ohureh,
at Montand and Julian streets, to he addressed by
the Eev. Mr. French, of General Saxton’s staff, and
one of the earnest worker* to whom the success of
the.Beanfort free-labor and educational system iB
due. The Rev. Mr. Gampbellj one of the freedmen,
is the pastor of the church, which is the oldest of its
hind in Georgia, dating back to at least the' begin
ning of the century. Several black speakers ad
dressed the meeting, briefly and intelligently, after
which Mr. French gave them a plain hut eloquent
talk, Hill of intelligible sense and sound advice, A
few or the largest slaveowners-were present, and
afterwards extolled the Ghristianlty of Mr. Frenoh’s
speech. The blacks were counselled not to desert
good masters, and, where they could, to endure
some evils for the sake of the general good. They
-were advised to work all the harder, now that they -
were free, to show that they could work-better as
freemen than as slaves; and when they helped
thomselves every good master would help them
too. The blacks wore particularly pleased with the
instanoes given of the sucoess in the Beaufort
country, where some 16,000 freedmen supported
themselves, raised crops of their own, got pay for
their labor, and had a hank owning *50,000. His
whole speeoh was listened to with groat attention,
and by shaking of heads, glistening of eyes, a gene
ral murmur or smile, the auditors, from youngsters
up to the crones In old bonnets and with gray.hoads,
showed their satisfaction. A very creditable choir
sang what was John Brown’s favorite hymn, and Is
now a song of rejoicing forjihe bondmen:
Blow ye the trumpet, blow
The Gospel’s solemn sound,
Till all the nations know,
To earth’s remotest bound,
• The year of jubilee Is come:
Return, ye ransomed bondmen, home.
Another meeting will soon be held for the purpose
of Instituting free schools, the blacks supplying
their own teachers. It ,Is probable that a number
of buildings used as slave?pehs, .Into whloh the
blacks were formerly huddled for sale, will be fitted
up lor sohools. This will afford the happiest proof
ol the moral victory gained oyer the once sturdy
wrong and complex outrage of slavery.
Black men tell me that Savannah shows the best
features of slavery; but the best are had, Indeed.
There have been many good masters, after sueh a
pattern as slavery Is likely to afford, who have kept
:both themselves and their - negroes in idleness. A
Savannah lady never, In any place, was without her
black servant girl 'to wait upon her whim or need)
and so she learned to do very little for herself. In
what business life such a city affords, the-negroes
have had opportunities to make their Intelligence
valuabie to their keepers. The town seems lo have
been rloh and comfortable In Its time, a place for
ease and soolety, andnot one for driving bard bar
gains. Savannah society is doubtless more conser
vative,more humane, and'rellgiousthan Charleston
society. The negro waspupon the whole, compara
tively well treated here. But he would, be pun
ished If he tried to learn to read and write, and
teachers even In Sunday schoois were placed under
ban/ One of them was lightly punished, not a year
ego, by a fine of $6O, and only escaped whipping
because he was a leader pf the Church and muah re
spected by his master. A- dandyish young Alaba
mian, a well, to-do camp servant, told me that there
was “a good bit of hook lamin’ among the Savan
nah darks.” This looks true, for not a few of the
black people are intelligent enough to hold equal
talk with the whites. How they got this “hook
lamin’’ the Imagination must discover. Perhaps
they picked it up orally from the whites; perhaps
they spelled it out by the light of a tallow candle In
the old cabin or garret. At any rate, I have, been
an attentive and Instructed listener to these men
who, day by day, have told-me their livelihood, no*
thing extenuating nor. setting down aught in ma
lice ;-Tor the class of slaves I have mot appear far
more Impartial and unprejudiced observers than
their masters. In the plantations around, Savan
nah (and it is not to he supposed that these were the
worst) they were treated badly, "Along the shore,
for some distance down, runs a serles.of rloo planta
tions, formerly nothtag.butr swamp-ground, bnbnow
parcelled, sluiced,. and trenched for. the ordering
and watering pf the orops. Here a great many hands
worked regularly in the blazing summer, and with
in sight of the olty. The overseer crooked his whip
at Us teams of slaves.' Out westward, near the Sa
vannah shore, and In the plantations neighboring
the rear of the city, or from ten to fifteen miles,
slavery could he seen in all Its features. Whip-,
ping and brutalizing were a part of the
plantation, and one ' fellow, Captain or Ma
jor Hines, an Englishman In the rebel army, I
have heard) passed Into proverb among the slaves
for his vlnd.lottve cruelty., Very vague, rumors of
anything like conspiracy or Insurrection have ever
reached the slaves here, and yet we have read of
such things ourselves from the Georgia papers by
way of Richmond, I have gathered It from the
blacks themselves, ts well as the officers who.have
conversed with them, on the march, that in every
case their masters told them that the moment the
Yankees got hold of them, the; would kill, barn,
consorlpt them, or send them to Cuba—a name as
dreadful' to the Georgia negro as Carolina wonld be
to a black'Marylander—the slave wonld strike an
attitnde of snoh speechless fright that the most art-
fnl master was thoroughly deceived, and then stam
pede away toward the woods or swamps, whence,
with a full knowledge of all the roads and ky-paths,
he joined the army by a roundabout way. For four
days slaves ha® kept the swamp without' food,
watching their ohanoe to borne Into our oamps with
out being shot by the pickets, but never thinking of
returning to their masters. Latest night one of the
sentinels heard a doleful sound', out of-the hollow of
a tree— 11 O; massa, don’t you kill me!” and a poor
plantation negro, covered with swamp-mud, and
chilled with fear, oame out of Us hiding-place, and
was taken Into quarters. The soldiers tell many
stories of the eunning by which the blaoks cir
cumvented their masters. They appeared to be
lieve everything, but really believed notUng, ex
cept that the Yankees were ooming to deliver
them. . “ How long,” said an officer to one of them,'
“have you been expecting us 1” “We’se been
a-waltlng for you' dese four years,” Yet no white
man told them this; it was picked up at the mas
ter’s table, by eaves-dropplng heard at. Sunday
.visits between plantations, and telegraphed by
whispers all through Georgia, How absurd to base
any safety for wrqng upon a thing so complex, un
derground, mysterlouß, as oppressed human na
ture ! The negroes swam the rivers, just as they
nearly died In the swamps, to reaoh our oamps.
Vain was the last care of the master who hid
his treasure. In the woods or brakes, or under
the furrows—some lashed and scarred slave told
Its hiding-place. It was marvellous how. the
contrabands marched day by day, mothers “tot
ing” their piokanlnnlea through the regular
sixteen miles tramp, little fellows stopping to piok
up children of nearly their own 'size, and some old
men keeping up with the army all the way down
from Atlanta. Their prayers, songs and danoes
around the camp fires paid the soldier for all his
kindness; and what private soldiers could; do tor
the poor contraband was always done with good
will, and' even with a certain fellowship, war,
with all its horrors, hat not depraved the nature of
our soldiers—ah army of better men, {I might gay
citizens) oould not be brought together; for, after
the war they promise to become the most settled,
sensible, and orderly part of the population, how
ever it may seem to the oontrary. Our private
soldiers (the greater part of whom are from twenty
to twenty-five years of age) speak without bombast,
and behave like gentlemen—even the rudest-look
log of them, fellows with tom and dirty hats, and
clothes worn out, for the discipline of war,
finder, careful .commanders, has only - improved
good -material, and given to them that
steadfast and simple . good* sense always Hiked'
with the -manliest courage. -Throughout all
the army there is a real sympathy and Indulgent

fondness for the Oat noblest noblemen,
the soldiers, look down with genuine good heart,

ourses are sometimes heardjjjtwara the blaofc who
won’t do Us .work, just aSfoward the mule, who
won’t.go; but black and WWte could not be more
considerately treated than djy Sherman’s soldiers.
It la needless to say that the blacks look up tor their
whits protectors with unfamßlar admiration. Last
night, on a random excursion through the camps, I
found Ohio farm boys oompaang agricultural expe
riences with Borne of the blows. Since the occupa

arid there;'lashed .to the whipping board, theywere
scourged till welted an£ bleeding. Afterwards they
were soused In a bath, xudely ent in the stone of the

The new Savannah Republican, published under

Wonderful to be said, the oitlzens of Savannah
are greatly disappointed that the national troops
have not treated them with more .rigor. I have
been told by a oitizen who has the victim of a
few drunken skulkers from our own army, that the
city suffered far more from the outrages committed
by Wheeler’s cavalry, and the mob chiefly com
posed of Irish women,-who broke Into the houses a
lew days before Hardee’s evacuation, than by the'
whole occupation of the great army under Sherman.

C, S. d.;
Tour communications of December S and 11 have
just baen reoeived. In reference to the depredations
committed by my'command while marching through
yiffir country, I will simply say that the same com
plaints have been made by_the.citizens of Georgia
a gainst officers and men of tout command,, and call
yonr attention to Governor Brown’s message on
that subject. If y6u cah'not control your own mem
while theylare among -their friends, you cannot ex
pect me to prevent my men from commlttlng-depro
clatlons upon their known enemies—-a pesple who
'have'betreyed them In the past, and for whom they,
have now no sympathy.
Do not understand me by this that I have allowed'
.my'men to oommlt depredations along my line of
march. Snob has not been the case. An order has
been Issued to my command authorizing and In
structing my officers to shoot upon the spot any
soldier who shall be caught committing any out
,rage.' War is terrible, and-the people of Georgia
are now being made to feel it In all its force. Had
the people of the Confederate States, and especially
those of South Carolina, known and felt what the
people of Georgia now know and feel, no hostile
shot .would ever have struck the sacred walls of
Sumpter.. I am now ready and willing, as I know
my Government always has been, to enter at once
into any fair exchange of prisoners. I will consult
with Major General Sherman on the subject, and
give you his decision at the earliest possible mo
ment. Thanking yon, General, for your kind attoa-,

Gemerae Tour communication of December 13
-is received. . I- must say that I and all honorable
.men did expect yon and your officers to prevent the
commission of outrages atwbichelvHizatlon blushes.
That depredations should be committed both by my
stragglers and by your soldiers was to be*expected-;
but the fact, and the shame still stands, that year*
men have done deeds In Georgia too sickening for
recital; revolting to- humanity. Ton must excuse
me from ontoring lnto an argument even so far as to
deny your assertions as to the right of wrong of mo
tives which’ led the Southern people to fire upon the
'■sacred walls of Sumpter.” South Carolina and
the othsor States Bad exhausted the argument when
they took-up the sword, had'counted the cost of
liberty, and are now (and will continue to the end)
paying it In Mood and treasure; " Day not the flat
tering unetion to your soul’’that the manhood and
courage of a true people can be broken by oppres
sion, rapine, and desolation. Four years of war
should have taught yon a different'lesson.
.1 peroeiva by your note that you are yet unable to
answer definitely any proposition In regard to an
exchange of prisoners-. Presuming -that you will
meet with no difficulty from Gen. Sherman, I will,
In order to facilitate the exchange, send you as soon
as possible suehallst of prisonersmow In your hands
as we may wish exchanged, jo which you can make
a corresponding list.

The follewlng letter-front Miss Daura ffoigne, of
this cltyj at present a rcßidckfofSt. HelenavUle;
South Carolina, has jus't Been received By th«
Secretary of the Pennsylvania Freedmen’s Relief
Association. Its graphic pictures and touching
statements will be sure to command attention; and
so will the document which follows It. Both relate
to the same ’ subject—the colored refugees from
Georgia:
ST. HBLEKAVJI.X.E, S- C’., J»U. 2, 18S5.
Dear Mb, ——r: I thought our prosperous
little Island -would never call for clothing or any
such assistance again from our Ass Oblation, but
Gen. Sherman has sent a large number pf refugees
here for Gen. Saxton to provide homes for. I hoar
that from twelve to fifteen hundred are to come,
and seven hundred, I think, have already arrived.
They are utterly destitute, having left all their
possessions but their children behind them.; Many
of them are sick, completely broken down by fatigue
and the hardships of tbelongmaroh, or suffering
from severe colds caught while sleeping without
shelter in this bittercold weather. Some.have come
all the way from Atlanta. Mothers carrying little
babies In their arms, while the father In some cases
“toted” the two and ! three-year old*. Chtldrenof
from five upwards walked-;, and one little creature I
saw to-day nsdxnarched all the way across Georgia,
keeping up with the army, though not more than
six yearß old, shoeless- too- One old woman had
twelve young children to take care of, and would
not leave'one behind; but for fear theSSshonld
straggle tied them all together by their hands, and
saved them all. Sometimes they had plenty to eat,
but again there was-no time to, cook food, ana
children went without througha wholeday’s march.
Sometimes they had night marches, and some
times battles with parties of rebel soldiers, who fol
lowed to cut off stragglers, and of whom the negroes
had a mortal terror. rrr „
Onee seven wagons and “four hundred head of
niggers,” to use their own phraße as they told me
the story,-were overtaken and captured by the
rebels. The greatest fear seized them all, but they
were reassured by the army halting and waiting till
the wagons and people were recovered. Though
they saw the soldiers were kind and gave them all
the assistance they could,yet they suffered much from
exposure, fear, and; fatigue. One woman told
me that many children got separated-from their
' parents and friends, and wandered among the camps
alone, or were left behind In the road, but I trust
tMw am not often happen. An old woman hearing
that the Yankee army had come, ran to her daugh
ter’s house to Induce her to follow It. She refused,
and the old vroman seized her little grandchild or
ahont three years of age, hut Idiotic, carried it all the -
way from the middle of Georgia, hoping all the time
that the mother would follow the child. Nothing
has been heard of her as yet. One woman whose
ohild Is now very ill, told me that it had not slept
under shelter for six weeks before reaching Savan
nah, and that it -nearly starved,Tor she was so slok
herself that she couldn’t “ ohaw-hard tack” for It,
and that was their only food for a time.
We expected to have three hundred In this vil
lage, hut when the ship reached Beaufort, and the
refugees landed, there was found to be a great de
mand for them. Everybody wanted servants, and
very many- were engaged at onoe. Others scattered.
among friends and relatives,for many Of the refugees
of old times, who are now our settled lsUgtders,
, “fount family,” that-ls relatives; among the newly
arrived. Many too had to be sent tp the hospitals,
and nearly all nave some sCi loasail ment. Se veral
hundred, more of these poor people are expected
: dally, and (hen I suppose our village will be filled.
They have only the clothes'they wore; and these are
scantyslnsufflclentandworttout. I think that as soon
as the time oomeßfor planting or prepafingto plant
that Is about the end ot next month, nearly all these
people will find homes and work, hut they will need
present help, and I think If you direct a few
.-boxes of warm and thick clothing Into this chan
nel of benevolence, It.would be doing real sub
stantlal good. In spring they will begin to
clothe themselves. I have been much : pleased to
see how kindly these refugees have been received by
former refugees now-settled -here. The strangers
are taken to their firesides, bedding and food given
them, and a change of clothing lent till the tattered
rugs; worn on tie journey can he washed and
mended. I was glad to see that the needle wag
being busily piled.by the hew oomers who were well
enough, and those useful and much ooveted articles
must also have been lent by our Island people. It
Is not mere show charity for the Islanders have to
crowd Into close quarters, and give up part of the
houses they oeeupy to these total Btrangers, and yet
It Is done ungrudgingly.
Goon Hen and Women on the Nobthl We
earnestly appeal to you, on behalf of the thousands
of suffering negroes whom Gen. Sherman has just
liberated by his triumphant march through Georgia..
Wherever he has borne our flag they have hastened
to follow It with Simple faith in the truth of the
Government and the charity of the nation. They
have arrived on the coast, after long marches and
severe privations—weary, famished, sick, and almost
naked.
Seven hundted of these wretched people arrived
at Beaufort Christmas night, In a state of misery
which would have moved to pity a heart ol stone,
and these are but the advance of a host no less dps*
titute.
‘ The Btores of the Government, already overtaxed
to supply a largo army, are not avaflable to.reUove,
their wants : and unless the charity or the North
come speedily to the rescue, they must die by hun
dreds from exposure and disease. ■. , „
So extreme and entire is the destitution of these
people that nothing whioh you can afford: to-give.
Will come amiss. Clothing Is their most pressing
need, especially for women and children,, who can
not wear the cast-off garments of soldiers. Shoes
and stockings, a'uspenoers, and under-clothes of all
kinds, are hardly less necessary in this climate than
In the North. Utensils, medloines, money—any
thing you have to spare—wiU find its use among
this wretched people. .. ■ • ■
The several Freedmen’s. Aid Societies at the
North are proper and-sufficient channels for year
beneficence. - - . . .
We pray you, for the sake of suffering humanity,
let them be qnlckly and abundantly filled.

THB UABT Ej»iot OB fimWK OooorATioH Of
Bbdpobb Gore.—One day last week a mapanmt
pur chased from an old lady, named Stlffler, residing'
in tbiß place, the Sag which floated ovor the resi
dence or the British commandant of fort Bedford,
before the Revolutionary war, for the trifling snm
of $BO. foe Sag Is a fine specimen of silk mannfac
turo in thedaye ef the Georges. The history of the
flag, as near as we can learn,runs about thus: When
the Bevolntion broke out, a email, garrison was
stationed here: the soldiers became patriots,'and
the officers Beat a hasty eilt. The flag of the com
mandant fell into the hands of a- Mr. Wangle, then a
citizen of Bedford,, the father of Frederick Nan.
Kle, Sr. .After his death and'the death of Ms
wile, It became the property or his sister-in-law,
who was married to a gentleman named Stifllbr, the
father of" Anthony Stlffler, late of this place, by
whom it was inherited, and upon his death, a year
or two ago, It became the. sole property of his,wife, 5
who sold it, as above stated, for fifty dollars, hardly
its originalcost.: for many years after the Revolu
tion the old citizens were wont to meet on the annl
yersary of its capture, and drink flowing bowls and
indulge In patriotic toasts over the happy event
which ..transferred the British authority to, that of
the Continental Congress- It has been displayed
on a, number of Important occasions, and was always
admired for Its.besnty and riobness. It is undoubt
edly oyer one hundred years old —Bedford Inquirer.
(iSTTino Mabbjbd in Habtb to Kbfbnt at
Lbibubb.—Upon tkeorgani ration of the 141st Penn
sj lvanla, a resident of Hawley enlisted In Company
G, Captain Mumford, and went with the company
to Virginia. At the battle of Chanoellorsyllfe ho
was reported-killed, and a comrade sent, as-hesup
posed, a pooket book and a look of his hair to the
soldier’s wife. On snob evidence she regarded him
as dead, and some two months ago married again.
Among the prisoners who were recently released
from Georgia prisons was the supposed dead'hus
band,. XJponhiB arrival at Annapolis he immedi
ately obtained a furlough and'started to see his
family. Our readers dan imagine his surprise at
finding bis wife marridd again, and hers at behold
ing,'as she supposed, her dead husband: This wax
causes many aurioua Boones to be enacted:—Hone*.
dale Republican.
Ojmjsbed toDbath.—Mr James Carter, ofMor-"
rls; township, Green county, -was fannd' dead the.
other da; in the woods on Ms own farm, where he
had been engaged in chopping; timber, He was
fmmd late In the afternoon with a log-lying across
his body, which bad previously passed over hisfaoe
- and head: crushing him in a shocking manner. He
had fgHed a tree, and was engaged in ohopping It up.
It is supposed that the length of the tree winch he
was cutting may have rolled as he finished cutting
it, and threw him off his,balance and then oh'the
found, and thus passed over him; or, that having
out off, attempted to prop it, when It suddenly
started on its descent, and thus caught and orushad
him, ,
IINANCUL AND COMMERCIAL.
file stock market continued dull and heavy on Satur
day, and prices had a downward tendency. The out
side public are selling and realizing even at a loss- ou
tlie railway,shares they have been carrying, and'are
turning their attention to dealing In other description
of stocks which rewire a less outlay of capital. -Kota
few holders of railway shares for Investment are sell
ing, and placing the proceeds in Government gold Inte
rest hearing bonds, under the conviction that peace)
even In expectancy, will have the tendency to depress
the prices of railway shares, while it will advance
those ef Government securities. - ‘ln addition to these
sales by the public, the leading operators are trying to
unload, and if it were not for the short Interest which
supports prices b'y a continuous demand, it is quite
likely that the whole stock list would have been ten
to fifteen per cent, lower than it is at preeeut. There
waß very little change to notice in the market for Go
vernment-bonds ou Saturday.. The ISSIs were steady at
IUX, the 7-SOs at 99%, the 10-40 s at 105)0, and the 6-20 s
at IC9X; State Ss were a shade better, selling up to 91X;
City 3s were a little firmer, tbe new selling at SIX, the
■ municipals at IGO, and the old at 96, the latter an ad
vance of )4. The share list was very much depressed;
Beading declined to 66)6, Pennsylvania Railroad to 64)f,
Catawbsa preferred to 33)6, andPhiladolphUmnd Erie
to 56)6; Lehigh Valley sold at 79, and Northern Central
at 63)6. - There was little said in company bonds.
Pennsylvania Railroad first mortgage bonds sold at 106;
North Pennsylvaniascrip at 90, West Chester 7s at 101,
' and Chester Valley 7s.at43X. The passenger railroad,

lower prices are acceded to. Maple Shade sold down

An instalment of ten dollar* pet glare on eael share

of Michiganhaaheon called in, payable on or he'oie the
S6th of January, at the office, 132 Walnut street.
The adyertlsement of the Security, Fetrolenm Com*
pany of Hew York appears in another colnthn, subscrip
tions to which are received by Mr. George W. Bar
line, Eo. 703 Walnut street According to the pros
pectus, the property of the company consists of a tract of
oil land of thirty-three acres in fee simple, on the east
side of the Allegheny river, ahont one mile below the
-town of Fraftklin, Venango county. It has a river
frontage of about fif y-two rode. Iu addition, the
.Franklin and Pittsburg pike rune pireotly through the
company’s property, and the town of Franklin is thus
rendered of easy access. ,
According to reports from Washington, the untaken
portion of the ten-forty loan amounts to only about forty
millions, which would leave'a hundred and'slxty mil
lions outstanding. Probably more than thirty millions
of this is represented in the speulaUve lots nowhsnging
over the market, the holders of which arein expectation
of profiting by a rise of two or three per cent, within
the next twenty days. A large amonnt of capital is em
ployed in carryingthese and other national securities.
The decline of six per cent, in the rebel loan on.the
London Stock Exchange, between the 28th and 81st of
December, Indicates the effect of Sherman’a,* and
Thomas’ successesnpon the public opinion of Europe;
and as at that time the Capture of Savannah was not re
ported, it le reasonable to infer that that event, coupled,
with the capture of the largo amonnt of cotton stored
there, would produce a further eon|fderahle decline in
the loan as well as in the price of cotton, and tend to
produce a close monoy market, leading perhaps to a par,
tial renewal of the recent commercial distrust and mo
netary derangement.
