From Bort in Herald, Aug., 22, 1882.
An important!
'enterprise has jnst
been started, having for its object the
building op a great southern port at
Bronswiok, Ga., a hitherto little
known town, but presenting - great
natural advantage. A corporation
has been formed called
Land Improvement and CoIoiuzatiop
company, with Mr. Janies Alexander,
of Boston, as president, Mr. Alexan
der having been obosen for his ser
vices in first developing the steam
ship, commerce and terminal facili
ties of this city. The company is
largely formed of British capitalists,
ana propose to improve lands in the
vioinity of Brunswick, construct
wharves, docks, and other applianoeB
of ocean commerce, to develop agri
cultural, mining and timber lands,
in the Bputb, and to encourage south
ern immigration from the northern
states and from Europe throngh the
port of Brnnswiok. By the report of
a congressional committee in 1873,
appointed to select a site in the south
for a naval depot, Brunswick was se
lected in preference to all other ports,
the choice being norrowed down to
the three deep-water or “frigate” bar
bers of Beaufort, Fort Royal, Savan
nah and Brunswick. In the report
Brunswick's advantages were set forth
at lengt h. Brnnswiok is situated 290
miles by roil southerly from Atlanta.
Its harbor is called the finest south of
the Chesapeake, having a depth of
24 feet on the bar at high water, while
the channel across the bar is three-
fourths of a mile wide. The harbor
is formed by an arm of the sea called
Turtle river, which is 22 miles long
and from one to five miles wide, giv
ing room and secure anchorage for
the largest fleets. Its entrance is be
tween the two islands of Jekyl and
St. Simon’s, and there is smooth wa
ter communication for light draught
vessels by the inside channel between
the main land and the chain of islands
that skirt the coast to the’south of the
Savaunuh and to Charleston. There
are in the harbor noshaip points
eddies or dangerous currents as . ob
stacles to navigation. There being
no river flowing into the harbor, it
does not fill up with alluvial deposits,
and the soundings always remain the
same. The absenoe of bodies of fresh
water in the neighborhood also makes
the place very salubrious, there being
nothing to generate miasmatio in
fluence. The place is, therefore, free
from the danger of yellow fever.
Brunswick is now an Atlantic termi
nal point fcr the two principal great
railway systems of the South, known
respectively as the Cole and the
Erlanger syndicates, the former com
prising over 2,600 and the latter 3,000
miles of railroad, connecting the port
with all ports of the west and south.
These make Brunswick a place of
great promise os a cotton mart, as
well os shipping point for the rich
coal and iron mines of the interior;
also for the great timber regions of
Georgia, whioh are attracting much
attention now that the timber supply
of the north and west is growing
scant.
That part of the Cole-Seney syndi
cate Bystem terminating in Brunswick
is the Macon and Brnnswiok railroad,
running between Brunswick and Ma
con, a distance of 180 miles, and giv
ing connection to Memphis, Selma,
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Cincinnati,
the Shenandoah valley, Norfolk and
the vast west and northwest. The
Erlungcr-Seligman syndicrte is rep
resented by the Brunswick and Al
bany railroad, traversing south Geor
gia from Brunswick to Albany, 171
miles, and intended os part of an un
interrupted through line to Vioks-
burg, thence to the Texas and South
ern Pacific systems, making nearly an
air-line to the Pacific coast, the gap in
which are being rapidly constructed
with branches to Memphis, New Or
leans, Chattanooga, Cincinnati and
other points. There is also a canal
12 miles long, connecting Brunswick
with the Altamaha river. Brunswick
is an incorporated city of about 3,000
inhabitants, regularly and tastefully
laid out, with alternate squares, the
walks and streets shaded with beauti
ful live oaks, festooned with draperies
of hangiug moss. The peninsula on
which it is situated is high and dry,
covered with luxuriant live oak and
cedar. The walks and drives through
these woods and along the salts are
very attractive, while there are the
finest opportunities for yachting and
hunting afforded by the adjacent
rivers, sounds and ocean, witn the
numerous islands. On St Simon’s
island there is uow an extensive
market-gardening business carried
on, and grapes,olives and other fruits
grow abundantly.
wiob, Ga. That small lint handsome
city is said to possess the best harbor

depth of, twenty-four feet on the bar
