Tribute TO SoidierIy Excellence.

Captain George A. Mercer, commanding
the Republican Blues, was so much gratified
by the prize drill of his company on the
9th ultimo, that he has issued an order
paying tribute to the gallant contestants, a
copy Of which is to be posted in a con-
spicuous place in the drill room for one
year. We give the substance Of the order,
as follows:
1t affords the Captain commanding pleas
ure to announce the result of the annual
prize drill of the company, which took place
on the evening of April 9th.
After a spirited and well contested effort,
which lasted nearly two hours, Sergeant w.
B. Spann remained last upon the floor, and
won the first medal.
Sergeant J. NJ. Maccaw remained next to
the last upon the floor, and won the second
medal.
The thFee following members remained
longest upon the floor next after the win
ners of the two prize medals in the follow
ing order: Sergeant NJ. w. Dixon, Cor
pOral NJ Abrams, Corporal G. II. Dixon.
The names of the above five soldiers are
mentioned with special commentator.
The officers also direct attention to the
accurate and admirable drilling exhibited
by the three last upon the floor, and to the
precise and graceful manual of Sergeant
NJ w. Dixon.

The First Excursion of the Season

The Adult Bible Glass of the Savannah
Baptist Church will open the excursion sea-
son this afternoon by trip to Tybee on the
fine steamer H. B. Plant. This is the fifth
annual excursion of the class, and the many
who have participated in the former
ones, having bright recollections Of the
pleasures afforded, will not fail to go
on this one this afternoon. The steamer
will leave the wharf foot of Abercorn street
at 2 O'Clock, and will return by 9 O'Clock.
Arrangements have been made to serve up
refreshments on the boat at very reasona-
bic prices. The class have, with eommenda-
BILE liberality, determined to give one half
Of the proceeds to that excellent charity,
''Tne Relief Society of the Industrial
Home" and the friends of that institution
should avail themselves of the opportunity
to benefit that society, and at the same time
enjoy themselves. Tickets for the round
trip so cents; children, % cents.

The Entertainment at Mozart Hail.

The Entertainment at Mozart Hall ].
The summer theatrical season was opened
by the Ford Dramatic Amateurs, assisted by
members Of the E. NJ. P. l. Social Club, at
Mozart Hall last evening under very encour-
aging auspices, and we believe these parlor
entertainments will become very popular.
Every seat in the hall was occupied, land there
were quite a number In the gallery. The
thrilling drama entitled Retaliation, or
the Husbands Revenge" wqs presented
with an excellent ca, an e are graft
fed to be able to say IT, the : lsteurs with
out exception did rem kabll veil. We will
not attempt any detailed hOtice for the
reason that we can only say words of COM
mendation concerning the various charae-
tiers, and award high praise to the excellence
Of the stage management. We feel it but
Just, however, to mention spe-
cially the two young ladies
Nile Ruby Graul and Miss Annie Madison,
who made their debut. They were easy and
graceful in manner, showed very fair con-
ception of their respective characters,
and in acting were exceedingly clever.
In fact, we have rarely seen the
debut of amateurs more successful. They
were received with great favor, and fire.
quently complimented with applause.
The entertainment closed with a number
of selections on the piano, played by petite
Eva Platshek in a style that elected the
greatest admiration.
The floor was then cleared and the evening
was terminated with dancing, which lasted
an hour or so and was very heartily enjoyed.
| The Fords have no reason to be dissatisfied
with the results; rather may congratulate
themselves on the success of their first par
Tor entertainment Of the season.

The COIOred Excursion to Beaufort
Row on the Steamer

ROW on the steamer
The Fisherman's Club, composed OF col
ored fishermen In the Market, gave an ex-
cursIon on the steamer Carrie to Beaufort
on Monday. They expected to return dur
ing the night, but were delayed and did not
reach here until half past five O'Clock yes
terday morning. The boat was well crowded
with men and women, and among the for
mer 1t seems there were some despe-
rate characters, principal of whom was the
negro John Andrews, who was tried at
the late term of the Superior Court for the
murder of Alfred Shellman and who was ac-
q tilted by petit jury. During the trip
Andrews made himself very obnoxious and
created several disturbances, evidently
determined upon having big row. In one
of the difficulties he occasioned he
cut William Anderson severely In
the head, and subsequently beat
one of the musicians terribly, nearly knock
ing him from the boat. As the steamer was
coming up the river, and was about opposite
the Savannah, Florida aud Western Railway
wharves, James Middleton, the leader of the
Union Cornet Band, demonstrated with An
drews on his conduct and urged him to be-
have. Andrews, instead of listening to rea-
struck him terrible blow over the eye with
a slung shot, and drawing an ugly knife de-
fed any one to arrest him. The parties on
the boat, 1t appears, were afraid to undertake
the task and the desperate
had everything his own way.
On the arrival OF the steamer at the wharf,
and as she was about mooring, Andrews
sprang ashore with the intention of getting
ont of the way. Fortunately, Policeman
smith was on the wharf, and was hailed by
parties on the steamer to arrest Andrews.
He proceeded after that individual, who
Immediately broke into run, and lively
chase up the hill ensued, but the rascal
was ozerhauled and carried to
the barracks. Later, warrants were
issued against him by Magistrate Molina,
and he was consigned to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury.
This conduct Of Andrews, after having
escaped by the facile law the penalty Of
killing man, only few weeks since, would
indicate that he is desperately bad negro.
