We copy the following from the Savannah
| Republican, of the 9th inst, with the tuil con-
victtion that it will elicit the early and prompt
atSnton:
|. APPEAL TO ruEo CITIZENS OF SAVANNAH
ARRoAD-We mentioned some time since that
the efforts to raise money by private suoscrp-
ton for the INDECENT Sex had been crowned with
the most gratifying success. Few OF our men
Of wealth are in town, however and though the
subscriptions were as liberal as could be exfec-
ted under the circumstances, the amount raised
is not sufficient to carly us through the mary
lone and melancholy days which we tear are
Gill before US
We would send Gut an appeal, then, In be-
IeAago of the poor and the dying, to those OF our
citizens who are abroad, and that ct may the
more certainly reach them, we beg that our ex-
changes, both in Georgia and at the north, will
copy this notice into their'columns, and echo our
crv throughout the length and breadth OF the
land This appeal we know will not be made
in vain. Our people who are far away among
the mountains and on the sea shore, inhaling
the health giving air of the hills and the ocean,
and upon whom thus far none of the response
biltv of taking careof the. sick has fallen, will
readily avail themselves of The opportunity now
presented, of illustrating their lberality and
performing their duty. 1t will not be expected
oGthose Of us who have stood our ground-wh tho
ale exposed to all the hazard of the pestence
and upon whom devolves the responsibility of
protecting the property of tbe absent-that we
Shall bear all the heavy burden of providing for
the sick and the dying. 1t is with confidence,
then, that we invoke the aid of our absent
friends Their contributions can be forwarded
to the mayor or to ourselves, with the assurance
that they will be placed in the hands of the
clergy and other benevolent persons wleo are
devoting their time to the sick.
Come to the rescue, then, friends, your beau
5tiful city is stricken to the heart, and now stug
Cling in the arms of death. Remember
"The quality of charity is not strained;
II drOppeth as the gentle Pain from heaven
Upon the place beneath, it is twice blessed;
It blesses him that gives and him that takes;
It's mightest in the mightest;i 1t beG9mes
The throned monarch better than his CROWN
AN AUGUSTA MERCHANT ABsCoNoED.-The
Augusta Constituencies, of the 81 instant,
announces that Eli: D. Robertson, warehouse
man and factor in that city. of the firm of Ro
bertson 81 G0ss, has absconded. The Consti-
tutionalists says:
Developemcnts were made on Wednesday
I.1 1,t- re-
cotton belonging to planters, who had been
kept for months by him under the impression
that the cotton was still in store, and he has
failed to respond to them for the proceeds. 1t
turns out, also, that he has abused the conf
dcnce q gentlemen for whom he was doing
business, and has misapplied notes sent him in
blank, and has misaPpropriated funds raised by
getting them discounted upon false statements.
He has since disappeared from the city, being
unwilling to face the storm raised by his mis-
conduct His liabilities are estimated atabout
$4,000, Besides what is secured by mort
CAGES on property He has other property
which has been attached, and may go far to-
wards paying his debts.
1t is due Mr. Goss to say that he is entirely
disconnected with and innocent of these trans
actions He has but very recently formed a
copartnership with Robertson, and had not yet
come among us to transact business.
