nisorderlY Characters Arrested.

Tom PerkiD, a colored individual who
had been indulging rather freely in noun
tain dew, as it were, went to q house in
West Broad street about midnight Satur-
day, aud raised a considerable rumpus, and
was also very disorderlY in the street. Po-
liceman Winkers happened along and took
Tom TO the house Of rest on South Broad
street.
About twenty minutes past two o'clock
Yesterday morning the peaceful serenity Of
the Sabbath, in that delectable locality
known as Cooper shop lane, was disturbed
by the hilarious conduct of George Samuels,
who was making the early morn hideous,
and capped che climax Of his outrageous
conduct By cuTsing and abusing Josephine
Lee. He fell into the hands of Policeman
DufOur, however, who waltzed him of to
the barracks.
Cyrus Stephens, a coIored tippler, was
found snoozlng on the Sidewalk by Police
man Kearnsn, who kindly hurried him to
the barracks.
Yesterday morning Sergeant Harvey ar
rested Tom Jones, drunken negro, who,
mounted on a raW-bOned steed, was gsllop-
ing through the street a. though running a
race against time. Tom will have the
pleasure OF paying for this fun at the court
matinee this morning.
At11 o'clock, while the good people of
Savannah were proceeding to church, VIM.
Smith picked out a cosy place on door
stOop, and stretching himself at full length,
dropped off peacefully into slumbers, hav-
ing previously wooed the drOwsy god with
frequent pOtations of mean diluted rye.
Policeman Maher came along, and spying
William, jerked him to a perpendicular
position and trOtted him of to the barracks.
James Miller, hearing that the firing Of
artillery had the effect OF causing rain, and
being disguised with the long drought,
brought out his little pocket artillery and
blszed away In the streets. Sergeant Harvey
thought James was little too previous, and
snatched him for violating the city ordi-
nance, which prohibits the firing Of pistols
and guns within the city limits. James was
furnished with accommodations at the
South Broad street bastile.
Clinton Williams, colored, enthused with
Thisky, and possessed of a wicked heart, was
not satisfied with kicking up a rumpus on
the street, but interfered with an officer in
the discharge of his duty, resisting and
abusing him. Clinton was taken to the
barracks all thersame, aud will be promi-
nent at the Police Court matinee to day.

EKobberIes on the Suburbs

During the past week We learn that a
number Of rObbeTies have been committed
in the southern suburbs OF the city, and
the impression prevails that a regularly or
gained gang is working" that locality.
On Friday night Mrs. Haggerty, an old
widow lady living with her aged mother at
the corner Of Lincoln and Henry streets,
was victimized by these marauters, who
carried off nearly all her earthly possessions.
The thieves effected an entrance into the
house from the rear and stole all the clothes
belonging to Mrs. HaggertY and her
mother, the entire lot Of provisions in the
house and all her poultry. The COW, which
is the main support of the two ladies, was
taken out into the lane, tied to a post and
MIXED by the bold thieves, who seemed to
ply their profession with IMMUNITY in coz
sequence OF the limited police protection.
A residence on Duffy street in the vicinity
Of DravtOn was also entered and robbed the
same night.
The thieves have paid two visits to the
premises OF Mr.. 7. P. Bond, at the corner Of
New Houston and Barnard streets. Mr..
Bond is now residing at Isle Of Hope for the
summer, and the place is In charge OF
Thomas Donegal, a drayman, who, occupies
one Of the out houses. Cupid Jackson, a
cOlOred dTayman, who is also on the place
was robbed Of a pair Of shoes, s coat and
pair OF pants, which it seems he had been
In the habit OF wearing to the horse lot to
change for his working clothes, placing his
good clothes in the servants room until
night. On Saturday night the same room
was entered and pair Of shoes and mar
ket basket belonging to a drsYmau named
Mike, aud a coat and hat belonging to Tom
Donegal we're stolen. Donegal and his wife,
who have charge Of the place, are out work
ing during the day, and hence the thieves
have had opportunity TO do almost as they
please,

A New Steamship for the Route
from Savannah 10 LIYernOOI.

We learn that a fine new steamship, de-
signed especially for the American trade,
is rapidly approaching completion at Liver
pool. She is being built by stock COM
pany, in which are largely interested sew
eral citizens of Savannah, which is known
as the Steamship Lancaster Company. 1t is
expected the steamship, which will be
christened the Lancaster, will reach here
about the 18th of September, making her
first trip to this port, and will be
consigned to Messrs. Wilder IL Co
We congratulate our port upon having
a first class steamship for the European
trade in which some of our citizens are in
terested pecuniarily, and trust the Ian
caster may prove the pioneer of fine line
running direct between Savannah and
Liverpool. There seems no doubt that she
will receive all the freight necessary, and
will run regularly between the two ports.
Her dimensions are 262 feet between per-
pendiculsrs, 80 feet beam and 2316 feet
hold. Her carrying capacity is 2,700
tons dead weight, and will register
I,I5O tons and cost about $135, 900.
The engines and boilers are of
the latest and most approved patterns, with
power calculated TO give a minimum speed
of 9 to 81 knots. Her bottom is double and
the water ballast Is on the cellular principle.
She has two iron decks completely laid,
fore and aft, four cargo matches, four steam

Yesterday afternoon about five O'Clock a
dog, which was greatly effected blythe heat,
created considerable excitement on South
Broad street, near Whitaker, and there was
a general scamperlng Of folks, under the
impression that he was mad. Very likely
he was; such weather is enough to In axe q
dog mad. The animal was first discovered
near Whitaker street, running around fran
tically aud yelping ferOciOusly. Seeing
an Open door In the house near the
corner he dashed through into the yard, and
doubling his tracks, rushed out Of the
house, frightening the inmates nearly out
OF their wits. He then dashed down South
Broad street, and ran into house nesr
Barnard street, where he oecasioned an
other sensation, but was finally cOrnered
and shut up, and 8 messenger was dis
patched for a policeman to come down and
shoot him.

Simmons Liver Regulator, purely vege-
table, is not unpleasant to the taste. 1t is
the medicine generally used in the South to
arouse the torpid liver to healthy action. 1t
cures malaria, biliousness, dyspepsia, head
ache, constipation and piles. The action OF
the Regulator is free from nauseau or grip
ing. 1t is most effective in starting the
seeretions of the liver, causing the bile to
act as cathartic. While there is an excess
OF bile In the stomach, the Regulator is an
active purge; after the removal of the bile,
1t will regulate the bowels and impart Vigor

The Beaufort Regatta.

BEAUFORT, 8. O., July 10 For the past few
weeks our yachting and sporting gentlemen
have been looking forward and preparing for
the annual regatta of their club, which was
fixed for yesterday. Preparations we're duly
made end every boat that had a reputation for
heetness and every other that was ambitious
to acquire name entered for the Forthcoming
test. OF course Colonel EIliott's "DolIy DIM
pie" and Mr.. verdier's Nelly" were to take
the lead in the sport. and thsee stimulated
others to increased efforts to make a creditable
appearance. Mr.. J. Il. Clancy, one of our
popular young men, entered the "Niobe,"
Mr.. Henry Elliott entered the Nanny"
DIR. A. P. Piioleau entered the Hattie" and
when the day arrived there were in all twelve
thoroughly rugged yachts to spread canvass
for the prizes These consisted of a piece Of
plate valued at SIS for the first, and second
piece worth $12 for the next best. At about IL
O'Clock m the boats being in line, and stiff
breeze commencing to blow, with full tide,
the first gun announced preparation, followed
by second boom from the piece of artillery on
the shore. Instantly all sails were full
ard the several yachts started under full head
of wind. The river was alive with boats, and
the shore and houses filed with anxious and
excited spectators. The race was to be made
TO the red buoy near the mouth of the harbor
and back to the starting point. The Pilot
Boy crowded with the beauty and fashion of
at respectful distance from the con-
testants. The wind, which had stiff
fened up considerably. amounted to
slight gale down the harbor and dismaSted
and otherwise disabled two or three of tho
most promising racers. Mr.. p NJ Whitman's
bateau. which was beautifully rugged and
crowded with canvas, proved her topmast too
slight and tapering, and 1t fell in a moment
most disastrous to his chances.
The Dolly Dimple" came in first, rounding
the starting point in most beautiful
style. The "Niobe," by Mr.. Clan.
CIV, followed next, and third came
the Nelly" all of which were skillfully
handled and extorted words of praise. Capt
Stuart, who acted as umpire, has not yet an
nounced the award, after canvassing all the
circumstances and the allowances to be made
according to the rules, but his impartial de-
cision will no doubt be satisfactory to all
concerned.
At night a bounteous collation. was spread for
the club at the hotel
