m Clottc of tlic lliifiinciw Ycnr in Huvnnunli. [Sucantiafi Neu».] Wo publish to-day, ns usual on the 1st of September, an “annual re view,” containing statements of the Savunnah markets during the year just closed. The exhibition mode is a sincere congratulation. Cotton receipts at the port were for the year past about 612,000 bales, against 447,134 at the same time last season, und against 612,370 during tho sea- sou of 1876-76. It will be seen, therefore, that Suvunnuh has moro than regained what she lost daring tho calamitous year of 1876, and exceeds by ovor 60,000 bales her re ceipts during the business year before the cpidomic. She thus has, more firmly than over, fully established her position as the first cotton port on the Atlantic coast; and, besides this, tho published statements of her valuable and steady increasing busi ness in naval stores, her increased lumber trade, and the gratifying ex hibit made in tho different branches of business generally aro ull very on- courugiug. The outlook for tho coming year is even more bright. Blessed us wo aro with the best of health, with no reason in the wide world to imagine that this good health will not con tinue, and with tho almost certain fact before us that larger receipts and a consequent increase of business tlioro is every justification for the universal opinion that Savannah’s prospects woro novor hotter. Wo commend theso facts to our readers and the public generally, und sincerely congratulate our merchants and business menum this flattering •condition of affairs. We suggest as n good idea to theso* latter that they forward to all their friends either copies of tho paper or tho Letter Sited containing tho annual review, which is also published this morning Idttle Book Gazette; Lot every «nnn go to his usnul work with alac rity and cheerfulness, avoid gather angs und discussions, keep his own person and promises clean, ovoid all intemperate habits, imd loavo tho rest to ouv civil authorities, tho board of health, and Providence. Tough Stories* Miggs was an old resident of Bean- villc, and enjoyed considerable re pute as a story-teller. The “boys” said he wus the best m all Pumpkin county; but Cubbagotown disputed the championship by entering into the lists in the person of one Tom BealOB. They met in Ike Bustler’s saloon and proceeded forthwith to business. “Just three years ago,” said Beales, who had the floor, “1 was raisin’ hogs up on pumpkin creek. I planted some squash for winter feed. They were the biggest squash I ever saw, for one of tho vines grow right across the river, making a complete bridge of squash vinos. One day I missed a dozen of my hogs, und found that they hod crossed the river on the squush vines, and had eaten a hole into a squash that was growing on tho other side, and the whole twelve wore sleeping inside that squush.” Miggs gave his pants a hitch and responded: “Once when I was out hunting in tho Becky Mountains, £ came across a very largo cougar. 1 fired at him, but unluckily missed. I dropped my gun and started straight for camp. Soon I saw it was no use so I turned to my doom, but as the cougar was about to spring upon mo with open mouth, I grasped him by the tongue. £ pulled that tongue with all my strength, and then I saw his tail commence to shorten. The harder I pulled the shorter became his south Lord Salisbury and suit# take six ty-throe rooms when they put up at a hotel.

But Beales he “toed the scratch” again. “Talking of hunting makes me think of the time I was down in old Kentuok. One day I started for tho woods taking a rifle with me. While walking along I heart! a whirring noiBe, and looking up I saw nineteon wild turkeys light upon a straight brunch, ana sit there ail in a row.

Tho branch closed with u jerk, und I hud’em hard and fust.” Miggs smiled a ghastly smile, and again ho spoke: “Of course nil you boys know that I was in the navy during the late war. I was serving on a very small gun boat, which had on board a gun of very large -dimensions. In fuct it wus the lai’gest in the sorvice. It had not yet boon tried, so everybody was anxious. Wo were ordered to bombard Vicks burg. The captain said he’d fire off tho gun the first timo. So it was poin ted toward tho oity, ond the captain touohod her off. A terrible shock followed, but in Btoad of knocking down tho oity that cannon ball stood still, and tho boat was fired up the river fifteen miles.” “Both mon now thoroughly ex hausted, gasped for breath, and stug- gcrod to the door, out they went to gether, and orawled beneath the stoop and diod.
