A CARD.
SAVANNAH, March IS.

SAVANNAH, March 10.
Editor Morning Netrs:
We notice in your yesterdays edition card
which demands a reply, which we now give.
We will also be glad to let the public know that
their name is the Savannah Busch Zouaves, -
and that the name is merely to advertise the
Anheuser- Busch Brewing Company, for which
service they have received fifty dollars; this we
know. We would like to confirm their assertion
that we have nothing to do with them in any
shape, manner or form. We have organized
quite recently, but have met with considerable
encouragement and assurances of continued
support We deny their statement that we
have copied from them in either dress. drill or
action. We are sorry we have been mistaken
for them, because we tried to show plainly that
we are not representing a beer association, but
that We represented neto zouave company,
giving the name of the company each time.
But one mistake has been made, and that was
satisfactorily explained by us. We were more
amused than angry at their assertion of being
mortified. We thought it was more Notifying
to be mistaken for beer advertisement than a
simple Zouave company.

this morning. and the freight traffic of the
road 10 -oing on as usual. 1t is stated that
the engineers were given TO understand that
they were not conn el.ed to handle 20"
freight if they did not desire to, and as a
Consequence all cars of that line are appa-
rehtiy being side-tracked in the Union

Their yards are crowded with cars and if
the road continues to receive them their

as to cause them considerable difficulty in

seems entirely settled So far as tde Union

The surgeon asked him if he thought he

informed HIM that he was suffering con-

still kept his hands to his side and groaned

was soon aboard the train speeding toward

geons good, and after staying out his
furlough, came back, and was with the gal

any detriment thereby. He does not be
lieve that either the free ship bill or the

the present condition of our tariff. So long
as foreign nations, says Mr.. Morse,
which can build and operate vessels
more cheaply than we can find 1t necessary
to subsidize steamship lines in order to keep
them alive, there is nothing in the business
for us. Let us reform the tariff first
1t is understood that Chairman Dunn, of
the committee, and Mr.. Cummings, one of
its members, have reached an agreement by

latter's subsidy bill will be reported with
