Harbor.
Col. Collius returned on Saturday
night last from his trip to Washington
in the interest of our harbor. From
those who have conversed with him,
we learn that it is his opinion that an
appropriation will probably be made
for the benefit of onr harbor, vstc., but
that the matter of a navy yard is some
what in the future yet.
In the event the above appropria
tion be made, most serious matters at
once confront ns—How will this am*
ount be expended, in temporary or
permanent good? The simple fact of
dredging out that sand-spit will be 6f
no material good, we fear, unless some
steps be taken by our City Fathers to
keep it open by preventing saw-dnst,
binders, etc. from lodging there in fu*
ture. Unless this is done, dredging
will be useless. The same amount ex
pended in a breakwater or jetty ex
tending from Brandy Point would
have the same effect, and be a perma
nent improvement—but let’s get the
appropriation first.
S. S. Picnic—May 5th.
According to former notice, the
children of the Methodist and Presby
terian schools assembled at the Pres"
byicrian church Friday last, and at j
9j o’clock were called to order by the j
Marshal of the day—after which fol
lowed the opening exercises, consist
ing of songs by the children, prayer
by Rev. Mr. Simmons of the M. E.
church, and a short but impressive
talk by Rev. Mr. Mickle of the Pres
byterian church. These being over,
the schools were formed in procession»
each with banner, and marched to the
grove near by, where the remainder of
the day was spent as best suited the
taste of each one. Strange to say,
however, from twelve to two o’clock
we observed a striking uniformity in
the pastime of all, old and yourg
—each striving io outstrip the other in
the use of fcko knife and folk, Ye Lf>_
cal, as r, matter of course, along with
the balance.
We do not recollect ever to have
been present at a pleasanter re-union
off this kind, and only regret that the
other schools ccn'id not unite with us
as such, glad, however, to see some
few present any way.
An abundance of refreshments wore
furnished, and none, so far as we
know, went away hungry. • The chil
dren seemed to enjoy themselves huge,
ly—in fact, some were so enamored
with the place and its surroundings
that they could not be induced to
leave, even at sunset. We console
ourself with the thought that in just
eleven months and three weeks we can
enjoy another May festival.
The Sea Coast of Georgia.
From accounts that reach us from
various points, there seems to be a
“spirit of move” all over our country.
Hundreds seem to be dissatisfied, and
wish to make a change somewhere.
Now, we believe somewhat in the old
adage, “A rolling stone gathers no
moss,” and to that end would say to
all such, stay where you are, and im.
prove the many openings -around you.
But if yon have tried that fairly, and
now, holding to that other auago, “A
setting hen never gets fat,” wish to
change your home, we recommend to
yon the sea coast of Georgia.
Lands are cheap here, both on tha
main And on the Islands that skirc our
coast, and sufficiently productive to
support one hundred times the pres
ent population. The desirability of
these places were known to men of
means in ante-bellum times, who bought
up great tracts and thus excluded
those of smaller capital. The order of
things is now somewhat changed, and
the humblest can secure just the quan
tity of land he may wish, even down
to a single acre.
This section possesses numerous ad
vantages well calculated to please the
seeker of a new home—a healthy cli
mate, productive soil, excellent catt) e
range, communication with the interi.
or and the outer world, besides living
in a State whose political affairs are in
a healthier condition than some of her
neighbors. Whilst the above is true
of the entire Georgia sea coast, it
seems peculiarly so of this immediate
locality.
In our next issue we shall endeavor
to point out some of the marked fen.
lures of this and adjacent counties,
hoping thereby to assist some dissatis
fied one in finding the Ei Donulo of
all his hopes.
ed together there the industries of the
whole world. Besides these, relics of
former days, connected with the his
tory of our country, will be there in
strange contrast with the so-called glo
ries of the present.
To complete the picture,' however,
one more thing will be necessary: Re
produce Gen. Washington and his
honest co-workers, and place them iu
contrast with the present adwinistra *
lion of plunderers, and then let the
nations of earth, through their repre
sentatives there assembled, judge if
we have, iu truth, gone forward or
backward ns a nation.
The sights will bo great indeed, and
should be enjoyed by every one who
can, for, be it remembered, few who
live to-day will be present at the next
one.
