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.

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.

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.

Pennsylvania Railroad first mortgage bonds sold at 106; North Pennsylvaniascrip at 90, West Chester 7s at 101, ' and Chester Valley 7s.at43X.

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.
