It is the dema- gogues and. Jacobins only who oppose it, The -pdherents of Chase and his obstructive schemes ‘tare in the custom houses and the Internal Re- “venue Department, a sworn band, thwarting the measures which the President has so wisely de- ‘Pigned for the settlement of the country. The South is acting well; its people are ex- hibiting every desire to render due fealty to the government. Railroads are being rebuilt, ‘and commerce is gradually returning into its pld channels. There is nothing to prevent a complete reconstruction of affairs except the partisan intrigues of the very:set of men upon whom the President ought to rely for support: mamely, his Cabinet counsellors and his office holders. It is clearly, then, his duty to himself sand the country, under these circumstances, to «make a change in his Cabinet, and to clear out ll the custom houses and Internal Revenue Department. ‘The good disposition of the Southern people is interfered with by military despotism at the elections in the border States; , ‘and this is one of the plans which the radicals ‘have ‘devised to nullify the conciliatory but firm policy of President Johnson. If the Presi -dent is not very careful now he will find an -organized opposition in the next Congress, which will be very difficult to overcome. He ‘lives in an atmosphere of intrigue and treachery, and if he is wise he will at once remodel his Cabinet and sweep out all the traitors from the ‘custom houses and the Internal Revenue De- partment. These are now the only dangerous enemies to the peace of the country. The people .are entirely satisfied with Mr. Johnson’s policy, and they will'applaud any steps which he may take to carry it out to a successful issue. Let shim, then, begin by weeding the radicals out of the Cabinet, in Police Intetligence. AN ALLEGED RECEIVER OF STOLEN GOODS DISPOSING OF PURLOINED PRUVERTY BY TELEGRAPH.

The Bank of England has raised its minimum rate of discount to four per cent.

Last night’s bank returns show it had become necessary, and the extremely sudden and unfavorable turn in the weather, whic! will be likely to lead to grain importations, must have furnished ditional inducement, — It ts also believed that a further remittance of gold to Spain may remain to ‘be made in connection with the recent loan of £1,000 000 granted that country; but London firms otherwise assert that there is no reason to anticipate any increase of pres- sure, since it appears the current demand for money lvaa beon chiefly for internal circulation, the amount of notes now in the hands of the public being at least half « mii lion in excess of the total usual at this season.

(Wednosday) the propeller Powabi roo on her down trip, about six miles from shor came in collision with the propellor Meteor, Captain Wil- son, on her up ox The Moteor struck lhe Pewabic just under the pilot house, Merally smashing up the bow. The boats were ruuning at the rate of about twelve miles per hour. The crash was awful and frightening, causing the Pewabic to go down in the short space of three or four minutes. A number were killed by the crashing timbers, and but few of the passengers of the Powabic bad even time to jump from her decks on to those of the Moteor ere the deck of the Pewabic sank entirely out of sight into the seething watora, The sight was most terrible and heartrending, and the cries and groans of the unfortunate passengers rose upon the rolling swells of the surging billows. The liteboats of the Meteor were lowered in due time, and a number saved from an ua- timely and watery grave. Several noble and heroic incidents occurred worthy of mention. One ot two in particular, the most memorable of which was performed by Miss Ada Brush, of Detroit. This lady, by her cool and determined efforts, not only aaved her own life by expert swimming, but that of Mrs C. M. Wright, alao of Detroit, whose husband sank down, wit a lady clinging to his neck. Miss Brush saw Mrs. Wright struggling in the water, some distance from her, and with great presence of mind she swam to her, pushed fa floating spar up to her, and thus saved her from the melancholy fate of her cherished husband. The mant- festation of such fortitude on the part of ladies will ever be remembered by those who witnessed the agonies of that dreadful night. Mra. L. L.

He saved the life of Miss James, of New York. Mr. Cleveland, the mate, worked to the last, and cut loose one of the lifeboats just as the illfated Pewabic was going down. He wns one of the very last on board. Mr. McKnight did not leave the wreck until he was taken wp by one of the crew and thrown on the deck of the Meteor. ‘The clerk, Mr. Charles A. Mack, was one of the first in the lifeboats, and would not rest until he had tendered alt the assisiance possible in his power. He saved the sec- ond engineer before the boats got into the water. 0 Mr. Jackson, the engineer, was a trustysma2, and well qualified for nis position. He stood imnanfully at bis post, and with his wife went down with the boat. The tears that bear silent tribute will often be shed in memory of this valorous deed. STATEMENT OF 0. C. WooD. About half-past eight or nine o'clock on Wednesday night, while off Thunder Bay Island, and several mils | ahead, we descried the Motor coming up. Tt was raining at the time, yet the night was very bright. The prmen gers all went forward to see the Meteor approach, It soon became evident that she would collide with us. The pas. sengers became frightened and rap to the after part of the Pewatne for eafety. Captain McKay gave orders to have his helm put aport, and the Pewabic had just com- menced to swing when the Meteor, whose heim had been -d, ran into us, striking us almost squarely of the pilot house, and cutting us down to the water's edge. The confusios at this time was inde- seribable. They were perfectly panic stricken. Many es caped by jumping on board the Moteor, while the bal- ance went down with the wreck, which sunk in leas than five minutes after the collision. Some of the per. sons employed on board the Pewabic, who. bad retired, escaped to the Meteor with nothing on but their night- clothes. I was standing in the saloon door when the Meteor struck us. I ran to the after part of the boat and intended to jump on board the Meteor, but found the distance too great to make the attempt. 1 then got on the hurricane deck, with the «ame object in view, but had searcely reached that piace before the Pewabic made a fearful lunge forward and sank.

The Meteor ro- mained all night in the vicinity of the catastrophe, and picked up those of the survivors who were afloat on pieces of the wreck. About six o'clock Thursday marn- tg the propeller Mohawk came along, and the rescued passengers and those of the crew who were saved were transferred and brought to this city, Nothing was saved 10 Pewabic.

(Savannan, Ga., August 6, 1865." ‘THE GEORGYA CENTRAL RAILROAD. \ The people pf Georgia are much exercised at present ‘upon the subject of the wompletion of the repairs now progressing on the Central Railroad, eounecting this city with Augusta and Macon. Owing to the low stage of water in the Savannah river, rendering navigatiow difficult and’ even hazardous, bat little cotton or produce of any kind has reached this city from the interior of the State for more than a week past, and hence the great desire for the immediate resumption of transportation on the road mentioned. A brief statement of the damago it sustained from the military operations of the army commanded by General Sherman,.and the extent of the repairs that have been made up to this time, may not prove uninteresting to the readers of the Hgratp. Tho work of destruction, so thoroughly accomplished, in conformity with the orders of the Commanding General, was commenced near Macon om the 20th of November last, and was extended to within a few miles of this city. Of the main line, extending from this city to Macon, a distance of one hundred and ninety miles, one hundred and thirty miles of the track were destroyed, including all the bridges of any importance. The energy and in- genuity displayed by the soldiers m bending and twisting the rails, to render them useless, is alike creditable to their ingenuity and indomitable resolution, as nearly: the was of them have been condemned as totally worth- jess, Seven miles of the branch from Gordon to Eatonton ‘was served in like manner, asaiso ten miles of the branch from Millen to Augusta, with the principal bridge on the road. The torch was effectually applied to all the station houses and water tanks on the main line and branches enumerated, Immediately on the disappearance of the army, the work of repairing was commenced at Macon and on the Augusta branch, and the road to Milledgeville was in successful operation on the 10th of January last. Repairs on the Augusta branch were suspended by the rebel government, and the rails, chairs and spikes were removed to and used for relaying the railroad between Augusta and Atlanta. p ‘The energetic contractors on the end of the road, with three hundred hands. employed, are now making rapid progress, and expect to have the road in running m this city toa point forty-five miles distant in the course of ten days, when a line of stages will be = on the route from the point of completion to faynesboro, to connect with the railroad leading to Augusta. The main road and all its branches will be in complete running order by the middle of November next. THE ATLANTIC AND GULF RAILROAD from this city to Thomasville, Ga., did not escape the vigilant eye of the military hero of the West. Deter. mined to cut off the retreat and circumscribe as much ag possible the commissariat’ resources of the rebel army under Joe Johnston, he resolved to try his hand on this road also; the track, including bridges, trestle work, station houses and water tanks, was completely de- royed fora distance of thirty-six miles, commencing the little Ogeechee river and termiuating at or near the Altamaha river. The work of reconstruction has been commenced on this road with a force of bands suili- cient to finish it in ninety days. Anew and interesting feature has appeared in the commercial prospect of this city, created by the late com- etion of the brahch road, connecting the Atlantic and julf road with the Florida system of roads, which makes nearly the whole of Florida tributary to this city, as the cheapest and most speedy outlet for the exportation of its cotton and other products. kee Savanna, Ga., August 9, 1965 POLABKT NOvaR RETURNED TO TS ORIGINAL OWNER, When Savannah was captured the Pulaski Houge, its principal hotel, waa owned by W.

D. Howell, ® brother in-law of Jef. Davis. Howell talked very imprudently. His remarks wore partly geverally dis loyal, and aleo personally insulting to Captain George B. Hussey, of the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth New York, who was standing by, Captain Hussey knocked down the offender, and also had « personal rencontre with Major 8. J. Short, an Englishman by birth, and for. merly of the rebel army, but who resigned before the evacuation of Richmond, Captain Hussey also encoun- (ered one of two other combatants, but got the best. of the rencontre.

DELIVIWRED AT HOUSTON ON THE 28TH JULY. * * s+ ® Texas had leas excuse for rebellion against the \United States than any other State. The Unitect States found her a “famishing babe in the wilder- ness," and nu,tsed and cherished the ‘foundling,” giving it vitality and strength under the benign influences of the con: ttitution, and the protecting wgis of its. flag. The flag wayos over us’now. She had never wronged the State, or any citizen of the State, in any particular. If any man in this audience thinks he has ever been wronged by the government let him get_up here and proclaimit. So it was with all the other States, and-all their individual citizens. — History would pro nounce the rebellion as the most unprovoked, “naked and unadorned’’ conspiracy ever heard of against the best government ever monided by the handiof man.” But it was said it was not the goverament’ that was ed with the wrong to the South, but the majority of the people of the North That party, Governor Hansilton said, had elected » i” dent according tothe forma, and without any violatio of the principles, of the constitution. The people of the South forgot that the fathggs of the constitution uever made any provision for the separation of the Si No government on earth, rnonarchical or aristocra republican, had’ ever made provision for suiciv tempts at suicide were always punished. Why re these things now, it may be asked? Because we shall never realize our present position or our future until the people of Texas understand and ocknowledg that they engaged ima most unnatural rebellion against @ government that never wronged them. You forset that the claim of the right of secession, on the part of a State, gives the correlative claimto the government of the right to “‘kick" any State out of the Union. * * * * * * Many valiant gentlemen hereabouts pro- mised to collect ali the blood that would be shed lady's thimble.

But shall never make such a mistake in_my recomny tions, nor advise yon to trust them. Remember al they said and predicted, and bow all their predictions have been fulsifled. They have lied to you from bezin ning toend. It may be said that all this is not concilin- tory. I am done conciliating men who are at heart rebels to their government. The man who, after the ex perience of the past four years, does not admit that his | course bas been criminal, is an’ unconquered rebel, He is joined to his idols—waste no tine upon him. = * * The North, you said, did not tove slavery.

I told him foreign inter. ; vention was threatened, but no forrign notion would dare interfere in behalf of slavery afier the promulga tion of his proclamation. Recognition, after this, never would have come, though the South had waited ten years. Some think the prociamation only a military order, and that slavery can be revived after the resump- tion of civil rule. This is folly, To say nothing about the constitutional argument, it is the law of war that a commanding general has a right to destroy the property upon which bis antagonist depends, and thus break him down. You claimod that slaves were property, and only property, and the President had the wight to destroy any of your ‘property, especially slavery, which was the cause of the war.” (A voice—“do vou proclaim that the slaves are free?) Ido! They are free by the majesty of the faw and government, through the voice of the mar tyred President, and will forever be defended in their freedom. ‘The man who now opposes it is more guilty than the man who at firstfavored the rebellion, * * * | It is bard to convince a man that it is betier to work than to have anothor to work for him.
