The limits to which this article most necessarily be restricted, will fortu" nately preclude the writer of it from being betrayed into making any ex* tended remarks in relation to the im pressions upon his mind during hi 3 brief stay in this portion of our favor" ed country. Brunswick, a place wholly unknown to ns a fortnight ago, and which we became acquainted with purely by ac cident, as it wero, we deem one ol the most delightfully situated places we have ever seen, and one that is destin* ed in the near future to take her plac e among the most prominent seaports on the Atlantic board. Situated on a peninsula, and washed on three Bides by the waters of the ocean, and those waters go protected by islands os to af ford shelter to the feeblest craft, even though a hurricane was blowing, and of a depth sufficient to admit the pas sage of the largest steamers and ves sels, what ageney or combination of circumstance# short of the supineness and indifference of her own citizen 8 can keep her from advancing to the front and ocenpying the position that Nature and Providence intended her to fill? A belt of pine timber—the best that earth con produce—extending interi orly for a distance of over one hun dred miles, is now affording the mate rials which are attracting hither many vessels that sail hence laden with tur. pentine, resin, lumber, cypress staves, &c. The business of manufacturing the above products is yet in its infan cy, and the supply of material is sim ply inexhoustable. The soil of Brunswick, like that to be found almost everywhere in south ern Georgia, is of the most productive character, and anything that can be produced in Florida may be cultivated with great success in Brunswick. A soil and climate in which can be prodneed oranges, lemons, bananas? peaches, grapes, figs, and nearly all the other fruits fonnd in the temper ate and torrid zones, together with cotton and most of tho cereals grown in the Northern states, and vegetables all the year round, cannot be ignored, and it is only a question or time, uuu a short time at that, before the atten. tion of capitalists will be draw hither, and the mighty resources of the “City by the Sea” shall begin to develop and expand beyond the ken of the mos* sanguine. Speaking of the climate, we believe that all who live in Brunswick, or who have ever visited her, will agree with as when we assert that it is unsurpass ed for healthfulness by that in any portiion of oar country. A climate that is only fatal to tho practice of physic ians needs no eulogy at the hands of anyone. The city wbioh is incorporated, con tains a population of about 2,500 inhabitants, many of whom nro from tbe Nort h, hut who have adopted this as their permanent residence. The city, to the eye of a stranger, pre sents the appearance of a mngnifieen*' but somewhat neglected park, which, with a little attention and some expen diture might be made one of the love liest spots on tho face of the earth. Tho main thoroughfares are ninety feet wide, and tho majority of them are fringed by that most beautiful of all trees, the live oak, with its festoons and wreaths of moss that produce on the imagination of the beholder the possibility that there is something in the theory of soul-transmigration after all, and that the Druid and his oak have at last become a unit. Of the nu morons marts of trade, tho hotels, churches, public buildings, railroads, shipping, &c., we have no space to speak in this article ,but shall endeavor to do so at some future time, and, in the meantime, hope that cir. cnmstance8 shall so combine os to identify us more intimately than ever with the surroundings at which We have thus briefly glanced.
