The Golos says the late Czar’s reforms This morning, Saturday 12th, I was arousod by tho hoary rain showor, coming with all the force of a tornado, seemingly. Tho wind, however, soon spent its fury, but the rain continued until everything wa3 thoroughly saturated. The admirnblo sys tem of drainago, and the sandy soil of tho Forest City soon carries off tho surplus rainfall, and tho streets are in perfect or der in a short time. Business on tho bay is now reaching near tho close of the season, and men are right ing up their accounts and balancing their ledgers to see what profits havo been reaped. Tho cotton season has been a prosperous one, as well as nn immense business. Tho naval store traffic is assuming huge proportions, and Savannah will soon rank among tho prominent markets in this de partment. Some of the new crop of tur pentine has already reached the city, nnd fti“hi3 h itei e J bMinesawiU bo. transacted ture durin« tho past two years KM^cSW/ increased the receipts at this point so that Savannah is one of tho best rico markets in tho United States. The lumber trade is very active, and tho demand at foreign ports is so great that it is almost impossi ble to supply it. The excellence of our Georgia pine is known all over tho civilized world, and tho demand for it is anpro- cedented. In this port are to bo found vessels of all nationalities loading with this superb timber. Tho biggest boom enjoyed just now by this city is the immenso travel. Every day crowds of strangers go surging through tho streets, and fill to overflowing the exten sive hotel accommodations, whilo thous and pass on to Florida or on their return to their Northern homes. Thero seems to bo but littlo abatement of the rush to Flor ida, while tho stream in the opposite direc tion begins to assume considerable proportions. Tho attractiveness of Savan nah induces hundreds of people to stop over several days. So that the hotels are kept constantly full, and Colonel Harnett, of the Screven Honso, told me that almost every day they wore compelled to turn some away lor want of room. Une of the great wants of Savannah is a large hotel with all the modern improvements. Such an in vestment would undoubtedly pay handsome dividends. Tho good people here are now exorcisod over tho approaching Masonic fair, which is to open about tho 10th of April. This is one of tlio admirable traits of the Savannah people—they all unito in working for any- tlting that is for Savannah’s interest. The contributions havo already reached to such an extent that no hail in the city is large enough to hold the fair in, and an applica tion nos been mndo to secure tho extensive court in tho Oglethorpo barracks. This will bo covered in and handsomely decorated. AMOXG THE LAKES.

At the Jaspor cen tennial two years ago, this arrangement carried to Savannah nearly 20,000 people. April is tho most lovely month in tho year in the Forest City. Her parks and flower gardonswill bo in their highest state of oveliness and attractiveness, and no doubt hundreds will avail themselves of this op portunity to visit this charming seaport. I took a walk out among tbe newly im proved localities. Many splendid resi dences have recently gone up, while more humble buildings for rent are to be seen in almost every direction from tho Park extension. Perhaps no city of its size in tho South lias more charitable institutions titan Savannah, and supported, too, largely by privato donations. I passed the Savannah hospital, which is a model of noatness nnd convenience, aud its good works are known not only in this country, but as well nil ovor Europe.

They ought to bo satisfied. At Jesup comes tho rush and scrambling for something to eat. It is strange thnt people decently reared will so far forget all propriety and sense, and rave and pitch around in an eating house. There were over one hundred at the tablo, and Mr*. Remington furnishes a nice table, abun dantly supplied and well cooked, but some of the passengers would annov her by call ing for servants—one wanted black tea, green tea, ioed milk, iced tea, ami a num ber of other things not within the reach or the ability of tlie good lady to provide. Most of this noise and confusion was made by puriies who have no, or but few, servanie at home. “All ’iiboaru,” says Sol Frinks, one of the cleverest conductors on the Ma con and Brunswick road, and we are off,for Macon. Jack Plane. A Telegraph and Kean eager Corre spondent in Florida. Out of the long list of those that are suf fering from tho “typo-us fever” not one of these “knights of the quill” that dwell with enthusiasm upon Florida have conde scended to give our LakeJcssup country even a passing notice. In view of this fact it may be well for the writer to furnish your oxoellout paper what few items of news our settlement may afford. Wo have a delightful country, situated upon the southern shore of Lake Jossup, which is an expansion of the 8L John’s river, and is fifteen miles long by five wide. Tho river being navigable for large boats this high up (over 200 miles), wo enjoy the benefits of cheap transportation. Our cli mate is entirely free from extreme temper- ntnrivA fa.a iLL, loot —tnfor has determined beyond the possibilities of a doubt; for, during the sovercst cold here, tomato blooms were uninjured in opon air. During the summer we have tho sea breeze to relievo tho extreme heat, which, otherwise, would be intolerable. There has been quite a boom in the orange business hero this season, and groves in all stages of cultivation, as well as lands adapted to the citrus family and semi- tropical frnits generally, have advanced to a very gratifying oxtent. Quito a largo number of Northerners have bought and improved lands in our midst, nnd are con stantly bringing in others of their county- men who are generally men of means, which adds largely to the wealth and does no small sliare toward the rapid settling up of our neighborhood. Next w.nter we havo every reason to hope for a more lively boom than ever, for the “sigus of the times” are indeed favorable. The wido-sproad damage resulting from tho intense severity of tho winter on tho lower SL Johns will necessarily direct the tide of emigration farther south than has boon tho tendency heretofore. Then, too, there is strong reason to hope for the build ing of the much talked of railroad that is to bo started from Sanford and carried to some point on Indian river. It is to be hoped that the men of moans in our community will manifest the proper appreciation of the advantages that such a road will afford us, and offer every inducement in their power to procure it. Otherwise, some other section will outstrip us nnd get the road. Daring the dry spell of several weeks a good joke was told on one of our neighbors who is a mill owner. It is said that his wa ter was so low at one time that whenever tho terrapins crawled out of his pond to sun themselves, Ills head of wator was so much diminished that he was compelled to hire a man to keep guard on tho bonks to keep the animals m liquid bounds. We had very destructive fires during the dry spell, which swept nway any quantity of fencing. This malicious custom of setting fire out in the pine forest should be put down. ^ Mucli is being said of the draining of tlio Everglades, plu various ideas are advanced as to the result. Some seem to think that it is unwise to thus boldly meddle with nature, but we need feel no apprehension on the part of guji/11-., Ban rorhopa, oiacfilpoo mill bis bommole braves.

Perry, Ga., March 12.—Our commu nity was startled by the alarm of fire yes terday between one and two o'clock, p. m., which proved to be an out-building on the place Mr. John R. Cook. Oar negro firemen were promptly on the spot and rendered most efficient service. The flames soon communicated to a provision house near the dwelling, which at one time was considered in so much dangei that the citizens, including ladies, com menced removing furniture. The house was still further guarded by wet blankets. Tbe water was supplied in part by ladiea who rushed to the neighboring wells aud worked tbe windlasses with their own tender bauds to furnish the carriers who bore it to the scene. The fire originated in an attempt of Mr. Cook s to burn off some grass near the -ini being high, the flames soon got beyond coniTui. “W. nnnt Z, municipal authorities afford to give our firemen an engine as a reward for faithful services rendered on this and other occa sions?

Cochran, March J4.—Bunker HU1, about five miles east of our town, came very near being the scene of another accidental killing yesterday. From what we coaid learn, aome negroes were tampering with - f tw( — - - a pistol, when It went off, the ball linking one of them in the neck on what we gen erally term Adam’s apple, glancing to the right, and lodging above the main artery. It was, however, soon extracted by one of our young physicians, Dr. P. L. Hudson, who happened to pass that way soon after tbe occurrence. At last accounts the man was doing well. We could not learn the names of the parties. We are having a great deal of sickness for the last few days ; none, however, ot a serious nature, mostly from colds; some, relapses from measles. Business is considerably improving, and the bright, cheerful faces of our merchants are a sure indication of tbe fact that they have lost that long-faced, restless look tboy had somo time back. We had with us yesterday that good man, Dr. Payne, agent of the Orphan Home of your city. He preached us one of those good sermocs, which was listened to by a good congrega tion, but, we are sorry to say, not a very liberal one—at least, not so yesterday. He is doing a good work, which very few men in Georgia could accomplish, and should be aided from every purse. Enviable will be hU crown in tlie promised future. D. Tbe Tale oraGont. Boston Post. May be there is never any excitement at tho West End, but you can't make the peo ple who saw n colored gentleman try to lead a goat through that district the other day believe it.

The garnishees would not be concluded thereby as to the existence of any Indebtedness; that question would be determined iu the usu al way. 3. Where non-resident defendants tn attachment had sufficient notice to put them upon inquiry lu time to have de fended the suit, but tailed to do so, this court will not control the decision of tho presiding judge in refusing to allow them to open tbe judgment rendered in the at tachment case for the purpose of pleading to the merits.
