SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1865. SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN S A V A N N A H: FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 7, DISGRACEFUL.-the conduct of those soldiers, citizens, and vicious little rascals that interfered with the colored firemen on the 4th of July. We have neither time nor space to give any details, and as we have heard but one side we refrain from making any further remarks. Whoever was to blame, it was mortifying to see intelligent men standing by as passive spectators, while boys and rowdies of a larger growth forcibly seized a fire engine and drove off the unarmed members with a crowd of one hundred times their number and then, after satiating themselves with this kind of manly sport, to abandon the engine in a mud hole, from whence it was removed to the engine house by the police. We saw a crown of people gathered around a lot of boys who were using the fireman's hats as footballs in one of the squares, while others satisfied their fun by jumping on to the hats. These firemen's hats cost something like eight to ten dollars apiece, and no man but a coward would be guilty of committing such a contemptible act. DRAMATIC.-The Sweatnam Troupe are drawing crowded and delighted audiences nightly at the Theatre, and their performances are received with tremendous applause. La Belle Louise is winning the golden opinion of all by her sprightly impersonations, and as a protean actress she has few superiors in the stock dramatic companies. We were surprised to witness such acting in so many versatile characters by Mr. Sweatnam. The National Tableaux on the evening of July 4th, was appropriate and beautiful, and we hope the Manager will give us more of the same artistic scenes. Manager Sweatnam has- worked hard and richly deserves the pecuniary harvest he is reaping. LAST evening, as the steamship Salvor was nearing the wharf, she ran afoul of the steamer Island City, lying at the foot of Abercorn st., carrying away a portion of the latter steamer's paddle-box. The damage is slight. ARRIVAL OF PAROLED PRISONERS,-Last evening the steamship Salvor, Capt. Chicester, from Fortress Monroe, arrived at this port with 418 paroled Confederate prisoners.- These men are from Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. They embarked at Newport News, and came via Fortress Monroe, and have had a fine passage. THE WEATHER.-Yesterday was a warm day, the atmosphere being heavy and dull, but in the afternoon a slight breeze sprung up from the south, which was quite refreshing. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the thermometer stood at 86 degrees in the shade; at 2 p.m. at 92 degrees, and 105 in the sun, and at 6 p.m., at 88 degrees.- Although the mercury did not show a very high range, the heat was very oppressive, and was felt more than any previous day of the season. We are indebted to Mr. J. T. Rowland for late Augusta, Macon and Atlanta papers. A grand opportunity is offered to the public to secure bargains in Dry Goods, Groceries and Furniture, to-day, at the auction sale of Geo. W Wylly, which will take place at 10 o'clock. The sale is positive, and the goods will be sold to the highest bidder. The steamer Amazon will sail for Augusta at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Passengers are requested to be on board at that time.-This will probably be the last trip of the Amazon up the river up the river, as the low stages of water will prevent her ascending again for several weeks. FILES OF THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN. Wanted, either to purchase or borrow files of the Republican from 1861 to 1864. A liberal price will be paid. Address HISTORICUS, Republican Office. DeKalb Lodge No. 9, I. O. O. F. The following brothers were installed into office on the evening of the 3d inst., for the present term: H. J. Quantock, N. G. John Nelle, V. G. C. C. Millar, B. C. P. Landershine, Treasurer. A. W. Kearsy, Warden. J. M. Heargrove, Conducter. W. O. Vanvorst, R. S. to N. G: Bryant George, L. S. to N. G. T. D. Jordan, R. S. to N. G. T. D. Jordan, R. S. to V. G. M. Norris, L. S. to V. G. J. H. Ceasor, R. S. S. J. J. Smith, L. S. S. James Greenlaw, J. G. Jacob Ward, O. G. FROM WASHINGTON [Special Despatches to the New York Times.] WASHINGTON, June 29. Mr. Johnson's Health. The President's health was such to-day that he was unable to receive visitors at 9:30 o'clock this evening. He is somewhat better, but it is doubtful whether he will be able to attend to say business this week, though he expects to be present at the Cabinet meeting to-morrow. Pardon Petitions There were twenty one petitions for pardon filed to-day, among them the applications of Judge Campbell, of Alabama; Alfred Rhett, of South Carolina, and S. R. Mallory, of Florida.- Seventeen pardons were granted; among them W. H. Haxall, R. B. Haxall, and B. W. Haxall, the celebrated millers of Virginia, and J. B. McFerris, book agent of Methodist Episcopal Church South, and one of the most prominent preachers in the Southwest. Fraud in Importations. Several delegations of commercial men from New York have been here to-day in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and Solicitor Jordan with reference to the frauds committed upon the government in the matter of under valuations of importations. The facts presented prove that the most extensive frauds have been, and are now being perpetrated. The subject has absorbed the attention of the Solicitor for several days, and his notion is likely to cause prominent personages to come to grief presently. HILTON HEAD INTELLIGENCE.

The reconstruction of the Southern railroads, will soon be an important matter of consideration, Whether it be national government. the State government:, or corporations, somebody will restore the commerce and intercourse of the country; and on their restoration depends most of the future harmony, if not stability of the nation. For the last four years Southern railroad companies have had little iron and scarcely any engineers or men available for reconstruction.- The cash and credits of these companies are likewise almost completely gone. We presume that as the results of this state of things, many of the Southern railroad companies will soon be in the market for loans to finish, their roads and restore them to usefulness. We think they should be met with great liberality on the part of the Northern capitalists not merely because the full use of these roads is greatly needed (a consideration which is not of itself very apt to bring money) but because, in our opinion, such loans will be safe and profitable. Whenever, therefore, the Southern railroads shall ask for aid, Northern capital should be freely furnished; especially as the profits of Southern commerce must necessarily accrue to Northern merchants. The future system of Southern railroads is as follows: Great Southern Railroad Line. Miles. Washington to Fredericksburg, 70 Fredericksburg to Richmond, 60 " Petersburg, 22 " Waldon, 54 " Wilmington, 162 " Florence, 107 " Charleston, 102 " Augusta, 137 " Atlanta, 171 " West Point, 87 " Montgomery, 83 Aggregate, From Montgomery a connection is made by steamboats and the Alabama river via Mobile with New Orleans. The next great line is that connecting the Ohio river with Charleston via Atlanta, thus: Miles. Louisville to Nashville, 185 " Chattanooga, 151 " Atlanta, 138 " Savannah, (via Macon) 203 " Charleston, 104 Aggregate from the Ohio to Charleston, 871 The next great line is that connecting the Ohio with New Orleans, as follows: Miles. Cairo to Columbus via steamboat, Columbus to Jackson, (Tenn.) via rall 157 Jackson to Grand Jackson, 47 Grand Junction, 189 Canton to New Orleans, 206 Aggregate, 579 All this is rail but twenty miles. There are numerus other lines; but we shall notice one separately-that from Memphis to Charleston-which connects the Mississippi with the Atlantic seaboard. Miles. Memphis to Chattanooga 300 " Atlanta 158 " Augusta 171 " Charleston 137 Total 755 This includes parts of the roads above mentioned. It is one of the most important railroads in the entire South; running almost the whole length of Tennessee, traversing the north part of Alabama, and large portions of Georgia and South Carolina. It will be observed that nearly every point on these great lines of road have been visited by the contending armies, and large numbers of bridges destroyed and tracks torn up.- The roads may be in running order now, but not in good order. Repairs made merely for war purposes must be temporary and imperfect.- One of the first needs of the South, is to put all lines of railroad in good condition, so that the internal committee of the country may be renewed.-Cincinnati Railroad Record. News by Way of Cairo. CAIRO, June 30, 1865. A steamer from Memphis brings two hundred and seventy-five bales of cotton for St. Louis, and one hundred bales passed up the Ohio yesterday. A special dispatch to the Memphis Bulletin, dated New Orleans the 27th inst., says the negroes at Vicksburg are protesting against the appointment of Judge Sharkey as Governor, and are clamoring for the right to vote. Gen. Sheridan has gone to Texas. The steamer Dix was recently sunk in the Red river, and was a total loss. The lower country and other portions of the State were infested with guerillas and outlaws.- Gen. Canby had sent some troops after them. LOCAL MATTERS. First Provost Court-Judge Parsons Presiding.

Wilmington and Manchester Railroad We have been favored with the following interesting extract of a letter from the General Superintendent of the above road, giving a statement of the present condition of the road: OFFICE GEN. SUP'T W. AND M.R.R., Sumter, S.C., June 28, 1854, S.S. Solomons, Esq.: DEAR SIR: As a matter of public interest, I would state the following facts. If you see fit you can allude to them publicly. The work of rebuilding the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad is progressing rapidly. Trains of cars will pass from Kingsville (its junction with South Carolina Railroad) to Wilmington, N. C., by August 15th, 1865. From Wilmington North there is now daily connection. Trains are now run on this road semi-weekly. They will be increased to daily as the business justifies. Great want of mail facilities is felt here. I could carry a mail semi-weekly from Little Pae Dee to Kingsville, 97 miles, now.- This mail could reach this road at Florence from Charleston, via Northeastern Railroad,- The Cheraw and Darlington road connecting at Florence, is now open to Cheraw. An examination of the map will show this is a very large scope of country which could now be supplied with mails. I will post you on the railroad matters as they transpire. Your obedient servant, HENRY M. DRAKE, Gen'l Sup't. NORTHEASTERN RAILROAD.- We are pleased to see by a notice which appears in another column, that the operation of this Road are to be resumed on the 10th inst. From what we can learn its officers have made the most strenuous efforts to get it, as soon as possible in a shape which would enable them to furnish some facilities to our community, and although these must for the present be extended under many disadvantages, nevertheless they will be exceedingly acceptable. At Florence, connections will be made with the trains for Kingsville and Cheraw, at once placing us in easy communications with points hitherto almost inaccessible. To the people of Columbia the connection to Kingsville will present peculiar attractions at this time. We hope our Postmaster will not lose sight of this opportunity for establishing mail communication with the portion of the State through which this line passes. -Charleston Courier, 2nd inst.

June 28 1865 General Orders No. 104. The following regulations concerning Military courts are republished from the General Orders of the War Department, and this Department, with additions and modifications. All parts of Department Orders inconsistent herewith are revoked. I."Where a post or district command is composed of mixed troops, equivalent to a brigade, the Commanding Officer of the Department or army will designate it in orders as 'separate brigade,' and a copy of such order will accompany the proceedings of any General Court Marshal convened by such brigade commander. Without such authority, commanders of posts and districts having no brigade organization will not convene General Court Martial. (General Orders No. 251, A.G.O., series 1864.) II. No one in the Department save the Commanding General, can appoint General Court Martial or Military Commissions, except the Commander of a Division or a separate Brigade, and the order appointing the court, must be dated "Head Quarters, Division," or "Head Quarters, Separate Brigade," as the case may be. III. "All communications pertaining to questions of military justice, or the proceedings of military courts and commissions throughout the Armies of the United States, must be addressed to the judge Advocate General; and commanding officers are enjoined to forward promptly to the Bureau of Military Justice all proceedings of Courts Martial, Military Commissions, and Courts of Inquiry, together with the orders promulgating decision thereon. Judge Advocates will be held responsible for the prompt [[?]] of this paragraph, and they are [[?]] to forward to the Judge Advocate General, at the end of each month, a list of all cases tried and to be tried within their jurisdiction." (Gen. Orders No. 60 A.G.O., series 1864).) IV. To carry out the foregoing paragraph, all others within the Department authorized to appoint Courts Martial. Military Commissions or Courts of Inquiry, will on the 27th of each month, send to the Judge Advocate of the Department, two reports. In the first report they will state the name and rank of all persons tried during the month before Courts or Commissions appointed by them, with the nature of the charges, and also whether the proceedings in each case have been 1) approved, (2) published, and (3) forwarded by them, and if not, the reason why. In the second report, they will state the names and rank of all persons against whom charges have been sent to a Court or Commission for trial, and if not, the reason why. (Circular, No. 14, D.S., Series 1864. V. "Whenever fines are imposed by sentence of General Court Martial, or Military Commission, upon officers or citizens, the Judge advocate of the Court or Commission will make a special report of the fact to the Adjutant General a special report thereof, together with a copy of the order promulgating the proceedings. (General Orders No. 258, Par. II., A. g. O., Series 1864.) VII. To avoid delay arising from the absence of Brigadier General L. Thomas, checks forwarded, on account of fines under the above paragrph, wil lbe made payable to "the Adjutant General U. S. Army or order," without inserting the name, (See Circular A. G. O., dated Nov. 19, 1864.) VIII. "In all cases where fines are imposed by sentence of General Courts Martial or Military Commissions, a provision should be added to the sentence, that the prisoner shall be confined until the fine is paid. A limit may be fixed to the period of such confinement," (Gen. Orders No. 61, A. G. O. Par I, c.s.) IX. "In case the provision has been omitted from the sentence, that a prisoner shall be confined until the fine is paid, a special report will be made to the Adjustment, and he will not be released without orders from the War Department, except on payment of the fine." (Gen. Orders No. 61, A. G. O., Par, II, c. s.) X. "Stoppages of pay against officers or enlisted men are not 'fines' in the sense of this 'order.'" (Gen. Orders No. 61, Par III, A. G. G, O., c. s.) XI. In a case requiring the confirmation of the General Commanding the Department, the officer ordering the court, or his successor, will not merely forward the record, but will formally act upon the case, and express his approval or disapproval upon the record. (See Digest of opinion of Judge Advocate General, p. 8.) XII. All records of Military Courts will be transmitted to the Judge Advocate General, through these Headquarters, and in no case will be sent to Washington direct. XIII. When several cases are published in the same General Order, the record in each separate case will be accompanied by a copy of that order, or so much thereof as relates to the particular case; and when the court is ordered rom the Headquarters of a Separate Brigade. XIV. Officers empowered to appoint courts are earnestly enjoined to bring all accused persons to speedy trial, and to publish and execute promptly the sentences of the courts. A delay of justice is often as detrimental to the public service as its total denial. By command of Maj. Gen. Q. A. GILMORE. W. L. M. BURGER, Assistant Adjutant General. Official: R. F.
