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.

all parts of the Mississippi Yalley, sonth

of any other Atlantic city, andlhe liber

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

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.

Board, July 9, 1869, setting foith the
term? on whi<?h emigrants and their ef
fects will be transported over the Cen
tral Railroad of Georgia and its branches

I will add, that this Company will carry
said emigrants as cheaply as any other

Gen. Joseph E. 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.
I remain, General,
Very respectfully yours, &e.,
