A called.meeting of citizens was hold yesterday at 1 o'clock at the Exchange to receive the report of the Committee appointed on the 25th July lust, in the matter of setting forth the advantages of the port-of Savannah as the terminns of tli&priacTpfi line of sfelmships from North Germany. • The report was sub mitted by wen. Joseph ifi. Johnston, Chairman of the Committee. The Committee appointed to report on the comparative fitness of Savannah and other Southern towns to be the •American-port-o/h line of steamships to ply between the North German Confed eration, and our Southern States, have given the subject fullcousideration, and have'come to the Unanimous conclusion, that- in the essentials of geographical position, commodionsness of harbor,.and railroad communication withjhe interi or, this city has decided advantages for such a purpose over any other Southern port. These advantages have eriven Savan- • nah a foreign trade, especially in cotton, larger than that of any other of our Southern Atlantic seaports. In this { connection yonr attention is invited to ■ the last report of the United -States Col lector of the Port, by which it .will be seen that the burthen ol vessels, foreign and American, that have loaded at the wharves during the year ending June 30th, 1869, amounted to 1,129,834 ton9. and that these vessels were manned by 22,101 seamen, and the value of its ex ports the same year amounted to $48,- 336,484, including $21,411,880, theva.ue of 172,450 bales of cotton shipped to foreign countries. Its harbor is the best on the Atlantic coast south of Norfolk, having a depth of 26 feet at high and 19 feet at low water. In addition to the improvements of the river already effect ed, the municipal authorities are about to deepen the ship channel between the bar and the city so as to afford easy ap proach to the largest class of vesseL that may seek access to our port.

Norfolk is 219 miles farther than Sa vannah fi om any point beyond Chatta- noga towards Nashville or Memphis, and Charleston 15; and there are 26 feet at high and 19 at low water on the Savan nah bar, and 16 3-12 at high and 11 at low water on that of Charleston Charleston is also 90 miles farther than Savannah by railroad from all points in A.abama and Mississippi. Eu ropean -emigrants can find productive lands as cheap in the Sonth as in the Northwest in a climate so mild that far mers may labor in the field* at all sea sons, and by snch a line of steamships, and the four routes from Savannah de scribed above, they coaid travel to those lands at less expense and discomfort than to the Northwestern States.

Johnston, Chairman: Dear Sir—Ju reply to your inquiry on that subject I beg to say that the Atlan tic and Golf Railroad Company will transport emigrants and their freights at as low a rate as any other railroad iu the United States. The present rates for emigrants un derstood between the railroad companies in the Southern States generally, is one cent per mile, bnt this company will not hold itself bonnd to charge so much should a lfess rate be considered an en couragement to emigrants. I beg to add that decided efforts are about to be made to extehl the Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad from Bam bridge towards Mobile, and that anould this project, which dues not at present seem doubt ful, be conaammated, emigration will command a second route from Savannah via Mobile and New Orleans through the lower belt of the Gnlf States to Texas and the far West.
