The Herald's Savannah correspondent
says the Georgia Central railroad has been
repaired for a distance of forty-fvs miles
out Of Savannah. As a consequence, trade
had become very brisk, particularly cotton.
Large quantities were stored in the city on
the wharves and about the presses, and ev-
erything looked encouraging, for thorough
revival Of the important traffic as soon as
the railroads would be restored. Accessions
had been made to the line OF steamers from
Savannah to Augusta, and new lines be-
tween New York aand Savannah were be-
ing ostgblished.
At Hilton Head the commercial prosper
ity was not SO great. The place was losing
its importance as a depot, aud consequently
much of the traffic has been diverted else
where Efforts we're being made to organ
ize a company to build a railroad from Hill
ton Head TO Augusta, Ca, and thus give the
former place the pretentions Of a rival to
Charleston.

RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. Judge Carter, !
who has returned from an extensive trip /
through the South, states that the cruelty |
b. the freedmen and the number Of homi- |
cides among them are Increasing to a FEAR |
ful extent especially in places where the |
troops are being Withdrawn. The Judge has |
a copy Of the Southern sun, which says that /
r the Yankees are alarmed at the killing Of |
a few hundred "niggers" ina States where
they have the protection Of Yankee troOps,
what will be their alarm on the departure Of |
the military forces and the re-sdmisaion
into the Union Of the states as sovereign
powers-who will then have a complete or
ganizatiOn Of the militia in each county,
which viii give the South standing army
that can bid defiance 70 the world.
