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 «>uth of the Chesapeake^ having a depth of, twenty-four feet on the bar h hchw^three- „ , <«* ™ue trifle, and its rela tion to the railway systeip of South is favorable to the project tbe pew company’s planaire oirried -outran important future will be as sured to Brunswick, which is now fa miliarly known to readers of Georgia papers as a sort of distributing point for pbenomfnal tales aoout snakes and vanons natural wonders. trict of parta of 2GUa and Jommiaaioners having T appointed and having complied with the la' CITY MARSHAL’S SALES.
