anOId savannah Trader Lost

The Charleston NeaOs and Courier contains
the following in reference to the loss OF the
schooner Etiwan, an old trader at the port
Of Savannah. Her commander, Captain
Henry Prince, is well and popularity known
in this city, and the news Of his misfortune
will be heard by his friends with much re-
grei:
1.-The schooner Edwan, Captain Henry
Prince, sailed from Bull river on Wednes-
day morning with l34 tons phosphate rock
for the Pacific Works, of this city. On
Wednesday night, in consequence of head
wind and heavy sea she put into North
Edisto; left Thursday with wind n. n. E.,
and stood off shore. About IL O'Clock at
night sounded pumps and found no water,
but about Fslf-past three O'Clock, when in
nine fathOms Of WAGER, about ten miles 8. s.
L. of Morris Island lighthouse, sounded
again and discovered two feet OF
wster in the hold. Put both pumps
instantly to work, but 1t was found
impossible TO keep the schooner free, and
about q. IN. the pilot boat Mary Ann Jen-
kins rescued the crew, five in number, who
were compelled to leave the sinking vessel
without saving anything except their per
sOnal effects, one boat and few nautical
instruments. The EtiWan has been engaged
during the past ten or twelve yoars as a rice
trader from Charleston 10 the adjacent
islands, and It Is stated that she was not in
sured. Capt. Prince desires TO return his
thanks to those connected with the pilot
boat for their generous and timely assist

11SnriciIH RunIneaa.s,

with this wise motto the enterprising and
energetic young firm Of Messrs. Barbour
Bros, corner Of New Houston and Barnard
streets, make an announcement in this
mornings paper. They have stocked their
neat and attractive establishment with q
splendid assortment OF staple and
fancy groceries specially suited to the
retail trade, and have adopted the
principle Of selling for reasonable
profit, believing that "quick sales and small
profits" lead to success. In addition to their
flne stock of groceries, they keep on hand a
full supply of Walters Celebrated Baltimore
Baker whisky. Messrs. Barbour Brothers
deserve full well the liberal patronage that
has been extended them. They have estab-
llshed for the convenience Of the resi-
dents In the southwestern section OF the
city a retail grocery store that for variety
and superiority OF its stock is not excelled
in Savannah. They are prudent, careful
young men, and while buying first class
goods, watch the market closely and secure
suca terms that they are enabled to offer
their patrons the most liberal terms. They
are courteous, obliging and competent bust
ness men, and those who deal with them
will bear testimony to the fact that they
always get the best at the most reasonable
prices. We would recommend to our
friends in that section to read their adver-
tisement, then give them patronage, and they
will be well satisfied.

The Railroad Commission and the
Lumbermeu.

The Railroad Commission and the
Lumbermens
Messrs. D. G. Bacon, George w. Hsslam,
T. B. Thompson, L. johnson and others,
who have been to Atlanta to represent the
lumber interests before the Railroad Com
mission, returned home yesterday morning.
An agreement was come to that was satisfac-
tory.
We learn that Captain W. G. Raoul, Vice
President of the Central Railroad, after
hearing the arguments of the representa-
tiVes of the lumber interest, voluntarily an
nounced the willingness Of the Central
Railroad Company to reduce the rates 20
per cent. from all the mills along the line of
the Central Railroad. His action was based
on account of the depressed condition Of
the lumber trade.
After Captain Raoul's statement the COM
mission adjourned, and the following day
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Railroad managers notified the com
mission that they would accept
rate or number of 20 per cent.
less than class P of the commissioners
standard rates for all distances. This is the
same rate that the Central now gives be-
tween all stations. 1t is said that the com
missioners' opinion was that under the de-
pressed price of lumber the rate agreed upon
is considered as fair rate as could well be
given. 1t is fortunate that the agreement
came about as the rates can 90 into effect at
once, and will take effect on the LIST of Oc-
tober. II the commissioners had been forced
to act, the rates could not have been re-
duced under thirty days.
The rates agreed upon give rate Of from
$12 60 to $14 90 per car load OF q, 500 pounds
OF lumber from different mills on the
Macon and Brunswick road to Atlanta,
which is one half the rates which were in
force three months sgo-prior to the open
ing OF the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia road to Atlanta-and about foWr
dollars per car less than the rates now
charged by the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad.

savannah MllItarV Academy.

The announcement of this institution ap-
pears in another column. Major Burgess,
the Principal, has been eminentlY successful
in inaugurating this academy in our city,
and we doubt not that it will eventually be
accorded front rank among the military
colleges of the country. The furniture and
apparatus have arrived and are being
arranged, and the academy will
be opened at the time stated,
Wednesday, the 4th. The assistants OF
Msior Burgess are Professor Catlett, A. M,
a graduate of the University Of Virginia,
and Professor j. q. Johnston, A. NJ, B. L.,
a graduate of Yale College, Westminster
College and Duff's Commercial College.
The academy will open with about seventy
cadets, and three States will be represented,
Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia. The
discipline is strict, one Of the rules
being pledge from the cadets that they
win not be on the streets between the hours
of seven and nine o'clock at night, hours
which, under the rules, should be devoted
TO study, and that they will abstain from the
use Of tobacco and liquor. The reputa-
ton of Major Burgess and his corps Is guar
antee Of the thorOughness Of the instruc-
ton that will be pursued, and gives assur-
ance of the success Of the academy. Cata-
logues may be obtained on application to
Major Burgess.

We had the pleasure, says the DsrIen
Gazette, few days ago, Of meeting our
old friend, o. 8. Benson, Esq, General
Freight Agent Of the Georgia and Florida
Ialand Steamboat Company, who had just
returned from tour of inspection of the
water route between Macon to Savannah.
He pronounces the route more inviting to
transportation enterprises than any other in
this section. The practicability of estab-
lishirg the line to Macon was demonstrated
beyond doubt on the grounds that all OBJ.

interests are as important as any in the
State, and when relieved 5y railroad mOnOp-
oily and stimulated by cheap transportation,
which this new line indicates, the develop
ment of this route will prove q benefit to
the State at large. This movement is very
important to Savannah and Macon, be-
cause it will give to the latter cheaper out
let, and enable Savanpab to recover the in
fiuence which she has somewhat lost
through the operation Of low rates to the
port Of Norfolk. The enterprise could not
be In more energetic management than that
OF the Georgia and Florida Steamboat Com
panY, whose ample means now representing
a large capital in railroad and steamboat
property, give assurance that this project

system. 10 the meantime, during the pre-
sent season, the steamer Clarendon, capacity
Of six hundred bales of cotton, and also
two other steamers will be put on the route
as forerunners and organizers Of the new
line.

New Arms for she military.

Is will be recollected that on the occasion
OF the inspection of the volunteer troops OF
this city, in May last, by Adiutsnt General
Baird, It was stated that an effort was being
made by the State government to procure
better arms for the military. The arms de-
sired were the improved forty calibre guns,
the same as used by the United States
troops. The first supply of these guns,
forty in number, has been received, and
has been delivered to the Irish
Jasper Greens. The entire quota for the
First Regiment has not been received yet,
but it is understood that the other compa-
MES will be furnished as soon as possible,
This first insEallment was sent to the Re
publican Blues, but Capt. Mercer being alb
sent from the city-the law requiring the
Captain to sign the bond-Lieut. Dixon
waived the right To them, and they were
turned over to the Jasper Greens, as stated.
