Savannah, August 18, 1871.
These lines, you will note, arc penned from
beautiful commercial metropolis of Georgia
Thick *** f° nnc lc ( l l>y General Ogletborpo in
hike William Penn, ha aonght to con*
c 'itte the aborigines by acta of kindness and
friendship, and, in conseqnenoe, made a friend
i:J ,ny of TomachiohJ, the celebrated chief-
din of the Vamaerawa.
For long years hia colony suffered from the
hostile depredations of tho Spaniards, who had
or copied Florida for more than a contnry, and
cere exceedingly jealonsof their English neigh
bor The debilitating effects of tho climate
and the excessive toil requisite to snbdno
M almost tropical wilderness, intersected by
numerous swamps and sluggish water courses,
operated to retard emigration and discourage
(h« first settlers. Then followed tho sovon years’
ci try war with the mother country, and after-
crdii a most destructive conflagation, succeed
( ,l |,r an awful pestilence, which well nigh deci-
atled the population.
TbeM causes, of course, retarded the growth
of Savannah, and kept it almost stationary for
ijoito a term of years. But as the' interior of
ire country became peopled, her commanding
, i „t jon at the month of a noble river naviga
ble for hundreds of miles, and accessible to
.^jpa of heavy burden, began to attract that
rammerce which has since grown to such mam
siotli proportions.
I About this period, too, the Central Railroad
cm projected. This was in the infancy of rail-
rotih, and the apparently insnrmonntable ob
stacle* which environed the whole enterprise,
rinsed many to believe that success was impos
sible. Thank heavens, to the skill and indom
itable perseverance of Ool. Gordon (who shonld
have a monument erected to his memory) and
the unflagging efforts of those associated with
lim, after near seventeen years of nnremitting
labor, bill, valley and stream were overcome,
nut Macon and Savannah were united in an iron
unbrace. From this moment, the ancient city
,1 Oglethorpe shaking off her apathy, bns ad-
laseedin wealth and greatness at an almost
uithmetieil rate of progression.
Tho merchants of no city on this continent
hi to manifested more liberality, foresight and
roergy in their plans and expenditures for tho
prosperity of their flourishing seaport. Under
ihroe fostering influences a half scoro of splen
did steamship lines oommnnioato regularly and
rapidly with all our Northern cities—a merchant
marine inferior only to tho tonnage of Now
York and Boston oh the Atlantic coast, crowds
her wharves and whitens tho “groat deep” with
their snowy sails—railroads stretch their bria-
roan arms North, East and West, and compete
two for tho commoroo hitherto tributary to the
father of rivers—the great staple, which on-
riche* wherever it goes, poors in in increasing
volume from year to year—street and local rail
roads, plank and shell highways, admirable
pavements, splendid churches, a wise Bystem of
ioumon schools, and a vigilant police—all
trince the fruits of this enlightened policy.
Sorely like tho devotion of Carolina to Charles
ton in her palmy days, evory Georgian shonld
rally to the support of onr own seaports. Every
rear adds to the number and capital of the
vholeaale dealers of Savannah. Many leading
fines of merchandise can be bought on as favor
able terms here as in any Northern city. Direct
trade with Europe, especially in woolen fabrics,
crockery, and iron ware, and tho products of
ike West Indies, snch as coffee, raw sugar,
fruit, etc., brought over In our own bottoms,
render all of these articles also cheaper than in
any other market. The city, which now num
ber* about 30,000 inhabitants, is increasing
rapidly in population, and multitudes of build
ing* in every stylo of architecture aro in process
of erection.
The chief charm of Savannah consists in the
rerfect regularity of its plan, (tho squares or
oiuature parks forming nn attractive feature
therein) and the wonderful variety displayed in
the architecture of its publioand private edifices.
Augusta and Philadelphia, though very hand-
same cities, are lacking in this respect. A mo
notonous sameness of style is observablo every
where—not so here. It is difficult to find any
two houses constructed alike; and tho Elisa-
hethan, Dorio, Gothic, and the modern blend
ing of all threo styles together, obtain very
generally, in addition to the moro simple forms
of building. The msgnifloent oaks, laurels and
other shade trees also which abound, appear
k** n Hful to the visitor.
The health of the city is perfect, and no ap
prehensions aro felt of a visitation from Yellow
tack this summer.
Oar sketch would be incomplete without some
mention of the Pulaski House. Thirty-one
years ago the elder Wiltberger erected and
opened this elegant hotel, which long enjoyed
the prestige of being tho only real first class
establishment of the kind in Georgia. Sinoe
then in the hands of the present proprietor,
L *pt. Wiltberger, it has kept pace with all mod
ern improvements, and like the old Astor, of
new York,maintains its reputation and populari-

From Ulilcliell Comity.
Georgia, Mitch ell Cocktt, )
August 15, 1871,.)'
Editort 7 degraph and Mat eng er: I have
decided to give you a few dots from the South
western portion of Mitchell Comity.
The health of my immediate section Is very
good. The cotton crop in my opinion is 33$
per oent. behind last year’s crop. The rust is
making rapid progress on some plantations, and
the weather ic a little too wet at this time,
which makes the cotton shed off tho squares
and yonng boils considerable. Upon the whole
the prospect is very unfavorable, “yon bet.”
Owing to a continned drouth in July late oorn
is ent off considerably—at least 35 per cent.
Fodder pulling is about over, which will let the
fanners be ready in timo to gather what little
cotton they will make.
Let me give a statement in reference to pnll.
ing fodder: Me and my son. 12 years old, cnl
tivated a two horse farm this year. We have
saved ten stacks of fodder which amount to at
least six thousand pounds. Don’t yon think
that will pay where fodder is worth $ 1 25 per
hundred.

An OvKirn's Aoe.—It is a well known fact
that an oystorman can tell tho age of bivalves
to a nicety. This is not done, however, by
looking them in tho mouth,bnt simply by coant
ing the successive layers or plates overlapping
each other of which an oyster shell is composed.
These are technically termed “shoots,” and each
of them marks a year’s growth.. Up to the
time of the maturity of the oyster, these
shoots aro regular and successive, bnt after that
time they becomo irregular, and are piled one
over tho other, so that the shell becomes more
nnd more thickened and bulky. Judging from
tho size and thickness which somo shells attain,
this moll ask is capable of attaining a patriarch
al longevity, and an oyster with fifty or even
three-score years upon it back may by chance bo
met with. They are in perfection when from
five'to seven years old, and shonld bo allowed
to grow unmolested that length of time.
Some days ago wo asked Mr. Stephens, tho
Celebrated Paragraphist of the Atlanta Sun, tho
qnestion: “Suppose yon were shut up all night
in a tower with a small baby, what would yon
do ?” and Mr. Stephens replies that he would
‘read it a selection from the Courier-Journal
as a hypnotic.” This, of conrso, is what any
woll-regnlated mind wonld do under Bnch cir
cumstances, and it relieves onr anxiety to hear
him say it. We naked him the question because
wo feared that if ho shonld be thus shut np all
right with a baby, he might nnthonghtedly bore
it to death by reading it one of his paragraphs.—

PATENT EXCELSIOR COTTON GIN
T7IOK the past fortyyears I have been engaged in
Jt? the manufacture of Cotton Gins, and have set
to work on plantations, and have seen in operation
hundreds of Gins, and have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing this the BEST WORKING GIN I ever
Baw. It nma light—gins fast—does not injure the
cotton—impossible to break the roll—no use for
Belt-feeders—and no trouble to feed. The commit
tee at the late Bibb County Agricultural Fair, being
so well satisfied of its superiority over anything
they ever saw, awarded me the premium. I am
now prepared to furnish any one in want of a Gin.
A sample of Exoelsior and also of the Griswold
Gin be seen at Oaih&rt A Curd’s Hardware
Store, Macon, Ga. Send fordesepriptive list.

CHEAP GASLIGHT
LIGHT. . ,
Upwards of FOUR HUNDRED aro in successful
operation in private residences, churches, factories,
No other apparatus is operated on the samo or
any similar principle, which guarantees a light of
uniform ouality, in either argand or open Burners,
WITHOUT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL HEAT.
Tho practical operation of the Machines can be
seen at the PASSENGER SHED of the Railroad
Companies in MACON; also at the Printing and
Publishing House of Messrs J. W- BURKE A CO.
We call attention to the following extract from a
letter from J. W. Burke, Esq.: *
Macon, Ga., March 23,1871.
“We have had one of the U. S. Gaslight Comp*
ny’s Machines, in operation since the 10th of No
vember, 1870, and it is perfectly satisfactory to ns
in its general working and cheapness. We paid tho
Macon Gaslight Company for fenr months of last
year and the year previous—viz: November, De
cember, January and February—$399.56. In using
this Machino our gas for the four corresponding
months cost us $114—thus saving ua in that timo
$285.56. The light is quite as good as that of the
City Gas Company, and has the advantage of being
entirely under our control to use as we please.
Daring tho severe weather in December it burned
without intermission, not being at all affected by
tho freeze. We see no trouble in tho Machino or
the light, and cheerfully recommend it”
