In issuing this, the twenty-fi ftli annual pros pectus ot the Savannah Morning Ntws, it is unnecessary to revert tothe history of the pa. per. For a .quarter of a century it has been the conspicuous and consistent champion of Southern sentiment and Southern interests. The career of the Morning News has been one of singular prosperity. It made a place lor.i - self from the start avd has kept it, while a of its contemporaries of that day, and all save one of its later rivals, have perished by the ways side, and to-day it stands firmly established in popular favor, with little or no competition wiihin the area of its circulation. The restless Activity,energy and enterprise of hhe ago have so extended the sphere of jour ualism.that the modem newspaper is literally encyclopedic in character, comprising every thing of specific or general in the vast domain of art, science, literature, religion, polities anil the news. Its tendency is to occupy the field of the pamphlet, the magazine and the novel, and it is gradually usurping the functions of those vehicles of thought and information. Its scope embraces the discussion of every sub ject which has been invested wiili interest by the restless explorations of (lie human intellect, aud includes every topic calculated to instruct or to entertain. In the newspaper of to-day the profoundest exegetical article goes forth surrounded and relieved by the brilliant essay the caustic review, the pungent editorial, she sparkling letter of correspondence, and tl t e ra cy paragraph—the whole forming a Coni|nune of Belle-Lettres whereiu the most notewprthy literary effort has scarcely any advantage of position over the poorest item. It has been the aim of the conductors of file Morning News to keep the paper fully abreast ot this tide of progress and improvement, and to this end no expense has I een spaced. That their effort* have been in some degree success full, is evident from the flattering encomiums bestowed upon the paper by its contempora ries, aud from the large circulation aud influ ence to which it has attained. The plans of ihe Proprietor for 1874 comprehend a nearer approach to the ideal journalism of ilie time than ever before. Hie features that have giv en the paper a marked individually among Southern journals, and which have brought it up to its present lngh standard of popularity will be retained and improved upon. Events of interest transpiring in any portion id the world Within reach of the electric wires, will find in the Morning News a prompl and reliable chronicler ; and its arrangements for gathering the news are such that all important omissions of the telegraph are reasonably sure to be sup plied by its staff of special correspondents ; so that the readers of the papei are certain of finding in its comprehensive columns the la test and freshest intelligence, systematically grouped aud attractively edited la its editorial conduct the Morning News will consistaiitiv pursue the policy which has characterized it from the first. Questions us national or sectional interest will he candidly and impartially discussed, while every subject ofa political complexion will be treated with an eye single to the welfare, the progress aud the substantial development of the material resources of the South. The system of carpet bag robbory aud plunder that has impoverish ed our section the popular practices of of official kuavery and corruption—and all those odious features of Radicalism which have for their object tbe prostration of sovereign States and tbe disestablishment of civil government in the South —will be held up to the severest condemnation; and at all times, in season and out of season, the paper will advocate the pri mitively pure doctriues of a strict construe lion of the Constitution, aud the admnista-* tion of the powers of the government— Execu live. Judical and Legislative—within the limits prescribed by that instrument. In sub. serving the interest of a section that has been so sorely oppressed and so persistently belied tbe course of the Murkinu News will be, as heretofore, either cautiously conservative or sharply aggressive, as the nature of the cir cumstances may seem to demand; and it will be the aim and purpose of the conductors of the aper to maintain its position as one of the leading exponents of Southern opinion. In the news department, the current local af fairs df Gapigia and Florida wi:l be chronicled was the same picturesque and pungent assi* duity that, lias made (hem such prominent and popular features of the paper. The local de* pariment is in charge of a gentleman of skill and reputation, and will continue to be the most complete and reliable record of home events td' be found, jn any Georgia journal.— The coinmefciil'departm'ent Is fall and com plete The figures are collated by experts, and their accuracy is such as to cpnirneud them to . merchants ahd bus jnesa me j) jn thiaand the ad joining States.

We stood by the river together, Aud bent o’er the water’s side ; And we watched the play of the moonlight TMtgfiltered adown.tlie fide. My dream of life was beginning— For my dreaaa of love had begun ; ; And the,WoS*lß was a garden of roses, I plucking them one by one. She was tbe daintiest creature That stood in there, With lace on her cownded *L*ulders, And a purple gleam in her hair. And we built the airiest castles, And whispered tbe usual things ; In short, 'twas tbe old, old story— The vows and the ebauging of rings. • • • • • But many a night, when musing Aloue iu my bachelor'* chair, I hare tnought of the lace and the shoulders And the purple gleaming hair. And memory awakens within me, From out of the long ago; The low, deep sobbing, and ripple Os that river's ebbing aud fiotr, Hnsb! there’s the music beginning; Yee, she married—a broker in stocks: And—loek at that stout old party— That is she -iu the opposite jfos. to correTpqnpents.

Then send it off, and, lest it merit lack, Inclose the postage stamps to send it hack; But first pay all the postage too, For editors look block on “six cints due,” And murmur, as they run the effusion o’er, '* A shabby fellow and a wretched bore !” Yet ere it goes take off a copy clean— Poets should ovtji a copying machine ; Little they jfiiovy the time that's speut aud care In burning verses vanished—who knows where?

Council Bluffs Nonpareil. A LOST BABY. A Story for Mother’s Hearts™Sevanty two Hours in the Cold and Night. At an early hour yesterday morn ing in response to the alarm-bell call a number of citizens assembled at the City Building, and again joined in search of the missing Dunelan child. Quiie a force accompanied by the lather of ;he lost child, went up the ravine in the direction of Crescent, and at 8 o’ciock last even ing had not returned. Yesterday, between 12 and 1 o’olock, Mr. E. B. Bowman, assistant in the County Treasurer’s office, following the ex ample of his chief, Perry Reel, who has since Saturday devoted his entire time to the recovery of the missing child, left the city and walked up the Northwestern R >ad until he reached Knott’s farm, occupied by F t ß, Jenkins. At or near JVlynstei Spring, Bowman took a road lead ing to what is known as Duck Tlol low t He traversed this road half a mile, and met a son of Rev. Mr. Knotts, who said no searchers had been that section, and that the child coyld nos bte in thai neighbor hood. Bpivmajt, passed on, and soon discovered a ravine leading to the right, the one which he decided to explore.. The ravine is about one hundred feel in width, and generally ; free of bru-h. After pa-sing ihrough ja clymp ot Mr. Row irnan dtfeepyered, some eighty rods :in fjront of h;% the prostrate f-rm p_f the massing child—onp and, three quarter milts from the house. The bhbe was lying midway tlip ravine with fjhe suit poising full qpon. it, anijlj resting upon its back. LUmouth was opened ttpw.afd Abound if wpre dead leav-s.and it£ mouth fil'ed with the same, evident ly piaced there by the starving chifd. Its face was covered with One of the infant’s shoes was gone, and the other nearly worn oat. Bow man immediately discovered that there was warmth in the body, and immediately started v tfh the .ch id lor the point where he hpd left the boy Knotis. The c'-ild hatt severe! severe spasms while in Bowiehi’s arms before he r ached the Jenkins’. Arriving there, the laner c one to the rity and summoned Dr. Osborpe. The professional “came ahead” fast, and when our reporter left the scene last evening, the doctor was confi dent of the child’s recovery. Mrs. Doneljti was immediately summon ed, and by direci path soon reached the side of her lost child. The meeting of mother aid child was such as pen could never portray. Dr, Osborne conveyed the child Irom Jenkins’ to its home. Oniy nourish, inept in the *bape of water and milk seemed acceptable. The child con tinually drew its weak arms across iis mouth, as though asking for drink, and it was uot until after a liberal portion had been administered, along with brandy, that she could articu late. The child’s 1 tst attendant wag her pet kitten, anil when she became conscious at Jenkins’, feebly opening eyes and discovering a kitte.i near her, she rea< hed out to embrace i’. The child is greatly em icia ed, and nothing but i;8 wonderful lateui pow er of re.-istance to suffering could have brought it through the terrible ordeal to which it was for seventy® two hours subjected. Ash lay upon its bed with its mother’s tender c ire surrounding it, beautiful, wis’ful, pleading, yet as ’tweie mute, Hi story ot its sufferings biought nur.y and many tears. From all the cir cumstances connected with the loss and recovery of this child, we hesri tale not in saying that the child wandered to the point where it was t rurid. How it secured drink m nourishment of any kind, God kmw eth. It was a strong, athletic child, lull o( vigor and nerve, and the dai ly exercise it received would make it possible that a child, young as it was, reach the point at which Bow man found n. That th-ie has been the least mini of foul ploy in the rnait r, is no: warranted in view of all the pos Abilities in (lie case. AN ARMENIAN BRIDE. Oliver Jlaiper writes bom Con stantinople of an Armenian bride as follows : “ She was covered with a most curious veil, made ol long slips of gold tins. 1, which reuel|e»l j>» her te t. Through this you could not see, except the bottom ot her dress. The Armenian women are generally very pretty, but perfect fools iu manners and exptession; so much so that when one man w sites to of fend another he says “Pretty Ar menian !” which really means a fool. The women dress like Enropeaus in general. The women, after 1 had twice made the circuit of the veil, lifted it in font and separated the long airings ot tinsel, rid I could see that the biide was dre-sed in white silk brocaded with silver and pearls, mid that aroun I her waist was a wid>* beltcontainmga fortune of pre cious sio"e.-. Her cheeks were paint ed ad ep crimson, lidon in a heart shape, and another heart was aru&- ticilly put on the thin, while the rest ol the face was as white as the luminous cosmetic could bring it.— The eyebrows tnei, and also stretch ed to the hair on each side her tem ples, and were as black as they co.uld be painted. The inside of her ff.igers’ euris and tiuger-uails were sta ned a deep crimson. Her hair, which was long and thick though coarse, was braided full of bale jingling coins. The outlines of her form were, as usual, totally hidi.en by the clumsy made clothes. 1 admired her to her bean’s content, and even went so far as to lake up a fold other dress.to see it the pearls s wo on so lavishly were real ones, to die evident pl.eas,- ure ol all present; for what would be the height of ill breeding among us is considered a delicate ffettery ammg diese women. 1 forgot to look at her feet, aud \ya.s- about to go and sit down when she stuck out first one aud then the other, that J might see that they were shod with velvet slippeis, embroidered with pearls, and then showed me her ear rings. which were large soli<a<re diamonds. She had, Qp no brooch nor necklace, and one of t,he vvo neu interrupied for me, and, told me the bridegroom was to.give lijem afiei the ceremony.” A young widow advertises iu a Ciiicinnatti pap r that she has an in come of three thousand, dol ars a year, and will marry any man, young or old, who possesses the sajne m-a is, and can produce a cer tilifjate of, good ch.irjcter. CU.iIOUS CALCULATION These is something woudcriul in | figures ; and numbers when cilcula t-d, startle us by liteir immensity. We.talkof millions and billions \ V ,ib htile thought of,the vasijiess ~f the sums we name. Th-.iipe mav it. ter the words giddy, but thuir oik <lerstaudi«o .fails io grasp their r.-al significance, flake opr own nation al debt as an illustration. Ev.-ry b .dy knows it is largo., but .few have ever stopped to consider its appalling mag lituffe. A few calcu lations will not, we .Huai., i )e utiin teresiina in m,r • L t us aupp .se that the national del-t is, in round number, 52,-500,- 000,000. It and experienced cishier Was to commenc counting this, at the r ue of three silver dollars per second, and work drigently eight hours per day, 300 days in the ye ir it would lake him about one hundred years lo complete the count. ll the silver dollars were placed side by side, touching each other, '.fr-y w,,u ld reach m arly three limes , round the world ; the would pave a highway tife width of Chicago's streets more tlnn 200 miles° in length. Ifeacli silver piece be estimated at one ounce iu weight, and the money Iq tded into carts cont lining one ton each, and driven one befiire the oilier, ea- h horse and cart ocv cupying two rods, the prncrssii.ii would extend five hundred miles. Or con-i.ler tha< only about 1, 000,000,000 minutes have elapsed since the bin h of Christ, au I th.u“if one dollar hud b en pm away cu h j minute, day and night, since that event, the accumulation would I amount to but little more than one . iliird of the debt this nation now* . owes. If this calculation was ap plied to England or France, whose ; national debt is nearly twi -e as large as ours, the result would be still more startline.

He kept a store and a Siw-iniil, and was always sure to have the best of the bargain on his side, by which he hid gained an ample fortune and so ne did not hesitate to call him the biggest r.tsclal in the world, lie was very conceited withal, and used to brag of his business capacity whenever any one was near lo listen.
