The Fourth Ward We understand
that this Ward is still liable for nearly the
full amount of its quota A subscri ption is
being taken up, for the purpose of raising
a fund to be distributed among the drafted
men, to enable them to purchase substitutes
The plan seems to us to be a good one -
A comparatively small amount--say S25--
for each individual liable to draft, will afford
a considerable sum for division among those
actually drafted, and enable poor men to
procure substitutes without the sacrifice Of
all they possess

FOR NEARLY A QUARTER OF A CENTURY
Mathews Venetian Hair Dye has been extern
sively used, and in no case has it faileo to give
entire satisfaction.
The VENETIAN DYE is the best and cheapest
in the world. Its price is only Fifty Cents. and
each bottle contains double the quantity Of dye
ia those usually sold for 81.
THIS HAIR DYE is manufactured BY pecu-
arpr0cess which reuders it UNNECESSARILY gu
perior to ANYTHING in the shape Of Dye now or
ever before the people. Being complete in one
bottle no prepai alton is required, which greatly
simpliies the application.
IN USING THIS DYE YOU avoid that DUSTY,
DIRTY appearance by which dyed hair and whis-
sers are SO readily recognized, when an inferior
article has been used; besides, it produces per-
fcctly natural color on any shade that may be de
sired-onc that will not fade, crock or wash out
one that is az permanent as the hair ITSELF For
sale by druggists. Price 80 cents.

drawn SO he would not accept. The com
mittee who represented the convention had
a long, exciting and stormy debate with
the nominee about that peace plank. The
result Of the long conferences was McClel-

strenuous exertions were made by the nation

to induce Pendleton to indorsc McClellan's

Observation-Disclosures or the City.
The Cincinnal6 Commercial has received
from n y. Davidson, who was made pris-
onsr 6kt6e battle Of ChicamsuSA, and re-
Leased "a ne late exchange at Savannah,
the following description Of the Notifications
Of Savannah:
Our trip down the Savannah on truce
boats u eur feet showed Ns the rebel forth
fications at Fort jackson. The river It
that point isalined with huge siege gus;
from tie boaI counted thirty-six. They
command the channel. The river is block
AIDED with heavy timbcrs laid up in the
shape Of . log house, the interior Of which
is filed with stone and brick, and these
constructions are all fastened to one another
with heavy cable chain, leaving only one
passage, wide enough for q boat. Just
above this channel lie two iron clasls, pretty
we'll manned. Above these, Mt intervals,
are torpe<loes; their situation is known by
the sharp-pointed projection. Of log about
six inches from the surface. At one place,
in particular, there are four Of these logs
side by side; these all point down the river.
There was not man to be seen at or
near the Notifications. The guns seem to
be mounted Oh the bank, and then earth
works thrown up for the protection Of the
men. The magazines are built on the sur
face, then dirt thrown up enough to cover
them. At first sight, they would seem to
be the spot to look for the guns; but the
guns are ten feet below these earthworks.
"OF from the river. half mile or more
before you reach Fort jackson, is an exten.
sive fort. Whether this is considered rs
part Of Fort Jackson, could not ascertain.
1t has been built for some time, for the
weeds and sea-grass have grown so high
that unless one was looking for for'ifca-
ton he would not notice it. ! should
judge that this fort covers several acres !;
but where the black war dog looks over his
earthworks, the grass and weeds arc cut
down.
Bcauregarl has spent many an hour in
laying the foundation and getting the range
Of this point Of the river.
"Thesc guns, together with the obstruc-
items in the river, are well intended to crush
anything that attempts to come up. But
for its protection from land force from the
direction Of Savannah, it offers but little re-
sistance.
Sherman, no doubt, will meet with but
little ditnculty, If this point be his aim.
Tho swamp will impede his progress more
than anything else.
1.-The force at Savannah is very small,
consisting of old men, little boys and Grip
pied officers. Business Of all kinds in the
city is stopped, and it looks ike Sunday all
the time. On the last Of September there
was an immense quantity Of cotton lying at
Savannah, but when we were sent through
there the last time it had been removed
from the vAilroad'

Are we pottering over the A B Cs of FL

our statesmen aud financial authorities have
not yet mastered even these? With great
respect for the ability of Mr.. Stevens, we
say that an act Of Congress declaring pa

transparent and mischievous absurtiity. 1t
may be such equivalent; if it is, it needs no
statute to bolster it, but will take ample care
Of itself A bank dollar surely redccmable
in coin at every bank counter or broker 5
office is dollar, practically and bcnefcially.
Any paper dollar is worth more or less
accordingly to the facility and readiness
wherewith it may be converted and the cash
value Of that into which it is convertible.
Any legislation which declares nothing to
be something, or forbids water to run down
hill, may be potent for incidental mischief,
but can never achieve its desired end.
