Fannie will return to Savannah on an excursion
trip on Wednesday, at IL P. NJ. We have not learnt
if the e1cursionists will be the guests OF our

CAPTAIN ApAMs.-This veteran shipmaster, who
traded for some time out Of this port. in command
o. the steamship Union, but who has been most
of his life engaged in the command OF vessels from
Cuban ports to New York, has lately retired from
the command Of the splendid steamship MORO
Castle, and the fact is noticed in the New York
Times as follows:
'sCapt. Richard Adams, formerly known as Dick
Adams, has, we regret to learn resigned his posi-
ton as Captain of the steamship Iorro Castle,
running between Havana and New York captain
Adams is perhaps better known in Cuba than any
other foreigner, not even excluding Kings and
Emperors, having run between the two ports Tor
over forty years, and always in command OF the
finest ship. His many stauuch and sterling quail
ties, together with an unequaled reputation as an
able and careful commander, have gained him
hosts of friends everywhere and an envisble repu-
tation. The news of his resignation will cause 3
great deal Of sincere regret among those who were
in the habit Of travelling with him, and the com
pany will not soon find man to take the place LETT
vacant by Capt. Adams, whose name and steam
year past. We understand that Capt Adams will
in future remain here by the side OF his friends.

colored youth named Joseph, but who proved
to be unable to stand temptation like PHARoAH's
servant was arrested for violation Of the Inter-
nal Revenue laws, viz: the illicit transportation Of
liquor. Wishing to make good thing Of it, Jo-
soph had thrown himself outside Of more bad
whiskey than he could stagger under, and being
satisfied that he was loaded, he sat down to think
about it; but thinking was disagreesble, and he
preferred sleeping, but consented to go to bond
ed warehouse, where the expenses OF the trip were
deducted.
Two natives OF the Emerald Isle were up,
charged with tampering with the enemy. Their
rubicund visages showed that they were not
troubled with water on the brain, if indeed it ever
troubled them in any way. They were discovered
in different parts Of the city, but suffering from
the same disease-too much absorption OF Jersey
lightning. Singular to state, this did not improve
their standing in the community, as one was
found PROSTATE, while the other mistook himself
for Camanche and howled like demon. They
smiled serenely when called upon for apiece,
but the command was immutable, and they obeyed
A colored girl from the Neck, whose early edu-
cation had been neglected, but who had, later in
life, formed an attachment for greenbacks, and
who was extremely fond Of gazing on the features
OF the '1ate lamented," made raid on small
boys pocket and took from it one Of those bills or
namented by his mug. The boy, not wishing to
part with his stamps, murmured, and the gushing
creature was ordered to be incarcerated for eight
days, to give her an opportunity of gaining some
knowledge of the decalogue

solemnly adjourned, and the bystanders departed
in an impressive manner.
