Early yesterday morning a negro baby,' supposed to be about two months old,was fonnd in the yard of R. A. Risley, near the crossing of the railroad. It was cared for by the family unlil it could be delivered into proper hands, which seemed to be as hard to hnd as a rich man . is said to be in paradise fcvery one that was visited and spoken to about the child disclaimed any charge over it, and it was inougni, at one time auite nrobable that the little negro woula be without pale of humanized society. L.ieutenat Drinker, of the freedmen's bureau finally consented to have it taken care of, but even then he did not recognize it as com ing under his duties, but merely as an act of chanty, to keep the child alive. There should be some place about a city of this size for such little unfortunates, be they white or black. They are not responsible for their being here and as tuey are-numan, and , we professing christians, we snouia certainly take care that thev do not i i i -. - - die right under our noses for want of care and attention. True, in this case it is a little neero. ...... . - r : -o-- out m tne next it may be a white child. lms is not the only case we are likely to have this winter of this character, unless there is some movement made to take charge of the podr, both white and black. There is already great destitu tion reported among the poorer classes. Was there not sufficient money made during the late war by some one or more persons to endow an orphans home in the city 1 It was a mans' chari table act, so related, that enabled him to get an unlooked for seat in heaven. The Wreck of the Twilight. Parties from below report a heavy sea off the bar yesterday. Up to that time it was hoped that very near all of the goods from the Twilight, in a damaged state, would be taken from the wreck. A large number of small, boats, belonging mostly to in viduals, were swarming about her previous to the gale of yesterday, and with a favorable op portunity of enhancing themselves for the trouble. A steam tug with a load of the valuables, some badly damaged, came up to the city and dis charged yesterday. , iFrom the appearance of her assortment it was not likely to be claimed by any one particularly, comprising, as it did, every thing from a common shovel to as sublime an ar ticle as a hoop-skirt, and it is not so manifest that. there was not things even neater than this to the eye supreme. , Another Vessel Beaehed. By private advices from below we learn that the schooner W. L. Springs. Captain Steelnian, from Philadelphia, bound for this port, with a general cargo, was beached inside the bar on Saturday morning last. It is supposed she will be gotten off to-day. ( On the passage the Springs experienced very heavy weather, during which she lost a small boat and large anchor. We wilj perhaps hear more of her to-day. Mayor's Court. Three cases were before the mayor yesterday. Two for being drunk in the streets and one for stealing. The two first paid for the privilege of fondly imbibing old nectar, and the thief was of so little interest as to make no difference what became of his case. It is a settled point ihat men will drink liquor and a negro will steaV-whatever the -consequences may be. ! Theatre To-night. The inclemency of the weather last evening caused a postponement of the play of Romeo and Juliet until to-night, when Mr. Davis will appear as Romeo, MrJRog ers not arriving as was announced in the morning papers of yesterday. We wish them a clear evening and a good full house, for Miss Vernon will certainly be all that can be looked for in the character which she assumes. v. Uncalled for Telegrams.

One Hundred and Twenty Ne- gros Hanged. Jamaica correspondence of the New York World. Jamaica, W. I., Nov, 4. Here, on the highlands of .Tamaira nrnfimd peace has long reigned ; but we now feel as if our mouuiaians were all volcanoes, where we have been restiner without a dream of the firps bfl nw or of the infern'al power that has been raising those fires. It seems that a plot has beer brew"' ing to make the island a second Havti and tV.nt Judases were found among the Methodist and ia.yws, ministers, mostly the rlatter, to act as ringleaders. Rev.

It exploded before J t was rinf nr( nvp r the whole island, but in the parish of St. Thomas m tne east. A war steamef went down at on op. ft ton, and other forces were collected on the land. Prisoners wer taken and tried bv rnnii-martiai the most guilty were hung, and others were pun- isuea oy nogging or imprisonment. In two weeks one hundred and twenty were hnno-. ATr Gordon, and several other Baptist ministers among the number. Important papers, throw ing light on the conspiracy, were found in posses sion of persons arrested, and rnanv havo hop-n arrested for merely using seditious language, one man wno, saia : " i ou nave seen nothing here in St. Mary ; wait till we rise, and thenyou win see.enough." The first three days.follow ingthe '"outbreak was a time of suspense. A large proportion of the blacks showed signs of being pleased, and men were in doubt whether or not the insurrection would spread. The news afterwards was such as to make things oniet and the blacks then appeared as usual. The governor goiucu muni iiruii luitjiayemeiit in bringing the guilty to punishment, and sup pressing the insurrection so speedily. We have a government that is a government. The object of the ringleaders was no less than to get possession of all the property on the island. mi i me nome government lias so long made pets of the blacks that thev could find sravrelv a shadow of a grievance to complain of. Blacks anu wnites nave tne same right of. voting. THE LATEST. Further accounts from Jamaica state that dis turbances had broken out in St. Ann's Parish, and troops had been sent there. Twelve more rebels were hung on the 4th. Volunteers were ordered out on the 3rd to suppress a rebel de monstration nearMonteso Bav but. it sepmrd to be a slight affair. Kingston still remain under martial law. THE GEORGIA CONVENTION. A Dispatcb from tbe PresidentThe Clo sing' Acts of the Convention. We find the following dispatch from President Johnson in The Savannah Herald of the 10th. It was communicated toJLhe Geogia convention be fore the adjournment of that body. Washington, Nov. 5, 1865. To James Johnson, Provisional Gov. of Georgia. The organization of a police force in the sever al counties for the purpose of arresting marau ders, suppressing crime and enforcing civil au thority, as indicated in your preamble and reso lutions, meets with approbation. It is hoped that your people will, as soon as practicable, take upon themselves the responsi bilities of supporting and s staining all 'laws, state and federal, in conformity to the constitu tion of the United States. ANDREW. JOHNSON, President of the United States. A special dispatch to Tlie Savannah Herald says, that before the adjournment of the Georgia con vention resolutions were adopted appointing a committee to memorialize the president for the relief of persons exempted from the amnesty, de claring all contracts made during the war valid, and appointing a committee to memorialize Seci retary McCullough to deter the assessment of taxes upon real estate until after the meeting of congress, and that assessments be made on the present value. The resolutions also authorized the governor to appoint three commissioners, with power to fully investigate the cotton transactions of .the state government, and report thereon to the next legislature. . They also, empowered commissioners to take assignments from Henry Brighamof all his inter est in the purchases of Col. Huron' Wilbur, state agent, and pay limited expenses. . The delegation from' Georgia to congress in tend to urge the recognition of the claim of the state to tbe said cotton. FROM MEXICO.

He furth er added that he had been dispatched by Maxi milianjo France, to ask for one hundred million dollars and forty thousand troops, and that in the' event of Napoleon's failing to furnish the men and means the evacuation of Mexico by the French must soon follow.
