EDITORIAL CO H It t> 1*«»' I)KX CE. 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- >J.

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. If you are amind to put this letter in readable form and poblish it in yonr valuable paper, you can do so. Yonr obedient and hnmble subscriber, L. H. S. 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.— Courier-Journal RAILROAD TIME TABLE.

MASSEY’S 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. O. W.

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” [Signed] 1 6 J. W. B0RKE & CO. Eor information or testimonials, apply to EDWARD HOWE, Post-oifieo box 159.
