Savannah, (in Georgia, ) July 26.  On Monday evening last
the town was amused with a new exhibition.  One Hopkins who
has frequently been heard to revile the advocates of
American liberty . . . [was tarred and feathered, the report
in theatrical metaphor, 15 lines] and the hero of the drama
was still rendered more conspicuous by a large number of
lights which were kept about him for that purpose.  The
scene lasted about five hours.
