Davis, sq. He replied in the negative, when one of ic raiders mildly drew forth his revolver, and :ntly cocking it, told him if he did not com y he would blow his brains out. The Mayor ood appalled with speechless horror at the How's audacity, and was only made to realize s hazardous situation by the 'goriily" rciterang his threat. Mr. Mayor was forced to loeomb, and slowing waved his hat over his lacf, in compliariftc with the "pressing" retest, and shouted three tithes for the rebel resident.

Fifteen Day's Ouace to SettlS up.?We understand that Shertnan has given the citizens of Savannah fifteen days grace to settle up their bank and other accounts which arc to be balanced u}r Coufederato Tieasury notes. If this report l>o true them wt:t be but few open accounts in Savannah after the fifteen days t)f grace expire. Every body and every body's relation will bo eager to square up at onco.
