SAVANNAH, Dec. 30-The sheriff of the
county and two assistants on Tuesday went to
Hayward's plantation on the Ogechee river,
eleven miles from the city, to arrest seventeen
negroes, charged with shooting Waterman on
the plantation and carrying off the crops of
planters. They made five arrests at station
No. l on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad
They were surrounded by about one hundred
armed negroes, who rescued the negroes and
robbed the sheriff, and destroyed the warrants
and threatened to kill him if he ever served a
legal process again in that vicinity. The me-
groes then separated into squads and marched
back to the plantations, avowing they would
have the hearts blood of every white man on
the Ogecbee river, saying the war has COM
menced. One negro Waterman is supposed to
be murdered, two white men badly hurt and
all the white men obliged to flee to the city to
save their lives. The women and children are
in the hands of the mob and have been carried
off into the woods. Great excitement exists
in this community, and a sheriff's posse of be-
tween three and four hundred citizens will
leave at daybreak tomorrow to rescue the wo-
men and children. The military decline to in
terfere until the power OF the civil auth critics
for preserving order are exhausted

When reviewing the causes Of these distressing

pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which so largely affect the
ute, health and happiness OF woman in all classes of
society, and which, consequently affect more or less
directly, the welfare of the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocous education and mar
riage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints otdress, the early confinement of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus, with the body half clothed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure perverting

In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
