BECAME VERY DARK

and the Pequot lost sight of her, but con-
tinued on the same course as when the
blOckade-runner was last seen. In few
minutes tremendous volume of black
smoke from the soft coal came into the
faces of the people on board of the Pequot;
and in minute afterwards she was up with
the blockade-runner and the Tristan Shandy
was captured. She had broken down.
The captain of her had stated that the Con-
necticut had chased him so hard those fif-
teen hours that his machinery was very
much out of order. and that he hadn't time
to adjust and repair it, for he had to hurry
very much to get out of Nassau. and into
and out of Wilmington In order to save the
moon and the tides. So the Connecticut
was the remote cause of the capture of the
Tristan Shandy with her valuable cargo
Vessel and cargo together were adjudged
by the prize court to be worth 1915, 00O
Added to this was the cargo thrown over
board when chased by the Connecticut
making great total loss to the Confede. ate

A certain Saturday night. off the West

ton), was an exciting one for the blockaders
and blockade-runners also. There was no
time to indulge in Saturday night songs and
revelries, or to drink ''Sweethearts and
Wives"
We knew that blockade-runners were ex-
pected. For the tides and the state of the
moon favored them. The moon went down
early. Orders had been given that at that
time every vessel should have her anchor
up, with steam and everything ready for a
start. The vessels, four in number Con-
necticut, Georgia, Emma and Buckingham,
were swinging about and little steam used
to keep them in their assigned positions.
They were like restless race horses await

was lying down upon his breast on the hurri-

with his glass. Suddenly he reported that
there was something moving on the water
like blockade-runner. The commander
took look and confirmed the report. Or
ders were Immediately given to start and
move at full speed. Two shotted guns
were fired at the vessel when she changed
her course, stood off under full speed and
was lost sight of. In this move she met
with the Georgia, which vessel started
after her and drove her off. Continuing in
her persistency to enter, the Emma met her
and drove her off. She was faster than
most of our vessels, and, as it was dark.
she could soon run out of sight. But she
was not willing to give it up. She had now
stood pretty well over toward Smiths island
thinking she might get in by running close
along the land, and now. for the fourth
time, she attempted it, when the Bucking-
ham espied her, opened her guns upon her
and drove her off. AS we didn't see nor
hear anything more of her that night we
supposed she had gone out to sea- to try it,
perhaps another night, as was frequently
done.
But at daybreak the next morning, 10 and
behold there was the steamer hard and
fast ashore. She had been forced off and
showed over so many times that she had got
nearer the land than she calculated, and
had run badly ashore. Attempts were
made by our vessels to get her off, which
was found to be impossible. A few days
after gale of wind came ON which broke
the vessel to pieces. She was found to be

for the next session, commencing February Ist,
1885.
As the faculty Is engaged in the promotion
OF a worthy object, and without any pecuniary
reward, we mos, respectfully direct your alten-
ton to the curriculum; also cautiously solicit
your aid in bringing the department as much
to the attention Of the public as you may deem
consistent with your line Of duty towards the
people, to US and TO yourselves.
We think the mos, casual observer will say,
after a moments reflection. that the community
is chiefly benefited by college Of dentistry.
because no one can fail to see that the student
who is Obliged to spend two years in study in
a dental college before entering practice, will
be much better qualih "a to practice his profess

Legitimate manner, without any knowledge Of
either theory or practice
Although nineteen tIo) states in the Union
have passed protective laws regulating the prac.
tce Of dentistry. California has not; therefore
any one may, and many do, enter upon the
practice of dentistry with only few months OF
Office observation; and some without any.
After stating these few, out Of many facts, we
think we can reasonably expect you to give
your support to an institution within our midst,

wHIrF1ELD's LEASE OF LIFE.

The Governor to be Asked to Commute
the Death Sentence-The Execution to
be stayed.
The case Of Henry Whitfield, alias
Ryals. the negro under sentence to be
hung on Friday for attempting to burn
the residence of Mr.. +. A. EXley, on
Margaret street, early in the winter, was
heard in the Superior Court yesterday
under a supplemental motion for a
new trial, prior motion having
already been refused. After a lengthy
hearing of the case the Judge again de-
clined to grant the motion, the evidence
not being sufficient TO justify him in so
doing. He stated, however, that from the
evidence that had been given he believed
the negro to be of unsOund mind. He
afterwards expressed his willingness TO
sign a petition to the Governor ask
ing that the sentence OF death be
committed to Imprisonment for life. Ire
Solicitor General has also expressed a
willingness to sign such petition. The
prisoners counsel, n. c. Collier, Esq, is
earnestly at work in the condemned mans
behalf, and a petition has already been
prepared and will be forwarded to At
lanta tomorrow with the signatures OF
the presiding Judge, the Solicitor Cen
eral, and, it is understood, all,
which found him guilty, asking for a COM
mutation of the sentence. Owing to the
fact that the Governor will be absent from
the capital { in New Orleans) this week,
and in the shert time which interyenes
before the day appointed for the execu-
ton, there is possibility that the petition
will fail to reach him officially, Mr.. Col
lier will on Tuesday file bill of eXcep-
tions to Judge Adams decision
refusing to grant a new trial and
will take the case to the Supreme
Court. This will in any event secure
stay of the execution. In case the Gov
ernOr c0mmutes the sentence the Supreme
Court will dismiss the writ Of error and
the case will be finally disposed of.
1t is the general opinion that Whitfield
/ is insane, or at least is not in a condition
| that will warrant the execution of the
death sentence. He spends his time at
the Jail altogether I'M his cell, not even
| coming out on days when he is given the
freedom of the corridors. He seems
wholly Indifferent to his fate, ard,
with death almost staring him in
the face, he speaks of the day upon
which he is to be hung as though it were
nothing more than any other day so far as
it concerned him.
The case is an unusual one, and the
peculiar circumstances which have sur
rounded it and tended towards the Dris-
Oner's conviction have enlisted his cOun-
sci 10 make a vigorous effort in his behalf.

AT THE THEATRE.

Close OF the HUntleys' First Week
"CalIed Back" the Coming Attraction.
The Huntley Dramatic Company closed
the first week of it's engagement here last
night. The audiences have clearly shown
that low prices were what the people
wanted. Miss Belle and Mr.. James Gill
bert arrived yesterday, and will make
their first appearance with the company
tomorrow night. Miss Gilbert is we'll
known to Savannah theatre-gOers through
her appearance here with the Madison
Square Theatre Company in ''Esmeralda"
two seasons ago.
The appearance of the Madison Square
Company in the slngularly interest
ing play, "Called Back" on Thursday
night, is awaited with no little interest.
The interest centered in the production is
largely due to the wide reading of the
novel OF the same name. The dramatiZed
version OF ''Called Back" is mucn more
even and consecutive in its action than the
book, and has had two good comedy char
acters-Gilbert's sister and her husband
introduced and elaborated. The play has
met with remarkable success at the Prln-
cess Theatre, London, where it has been
running for many months, and at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, having
had a triumphant eight weeks season at
the latter house. The same company that
appeared in the New York run will be seen
in Savannah, and the piece will be pre-
scented with the same elegance of scenery
that contributed so much to the success
of the original representations. The per-
