MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10. 1863.

iHE gathering of citizens that greeted
the arrival of our Savannah visitors ON
Saturday afternoon, 80 imposing in num-
bers, SO resolute in purpose, and withal go
orderly in bearing, was in itself q most
gratifying proof Of the determination Of
the substantial classes Of the community
mot to permit our city to be placed second

bowling negroes But the absolute securi-
'ty which the presence Of 80 respectable q
concourse guaranteed 10 tho Savannah
Club, was too dislasteful TO his dusky con.
slituents to satisfy Mayor Pillsbury. He
could not forego the opportunity Of insult
ing the citizens by forcing upon their guests,
in the face of earnest and respectful RET
nonstrauoes, an armed escort for which
there was no color of excuse. In refusing
to withdraw this indignity, the Mayor took
occasion to refer to this newspaper, as the
cause Of the uEusual outpouring Of white
mnn, at which he and his Aldermen seemed
so sorely exercised. If, indeed, any words
that may have appeared in these columns
had aught to do with so effective dem on
atration, seldom, We fancy, has THE NEWS
spoken to better purpose.
Aud still we say to cur people that the
honor Of our old city demands that they
continue to lend the protection Of their
presence to the gallant Georgians who are
sojourning amongst us. We have Mayor,
whose vigor and Vigilance are conspicuous
chiefly when there is no danger to be ward
ed off, no outbreak to quell. We must trust
ourselves alone to shield our visitors from
insult. Only when we have hidden them
God speed on their homeward trip, can we
afford to go back to our every day duties
and feel that the good name Of Charleston
has been redeemed.
