EARLY SHIP BUILDING.
Brunswick Built the First Square
JUgger that was Ever in
1 *6551 this Port.
'•Mr. Editor, Capt Hatch is mis
taken about the first square rigged
vessel |in this port." Thus spoke
Capt. Jas. Clubb as he met usod the
dock this morning.
Forthwith the scribe took out his
pencil and book and got ready to
take down what he knew to .be a
“true, true” good item. Tho Captain

“The first square rigged vessel'in
this port was ;bullt right here by
La£aar and others, from Savannah.
She was a full rigged ship and was
named ‘Hemy duBignon.’ , That was
in !38 or ’40, some ten years before
the time Mr. Hatch speaks of.
“The duJJignon was launched from
the bluff right where UllmOh’e store
now stands, and that night they had
a grand party aboard, and a dance—
they.had a big time, and In thafirgl-,
io one of the guests stepped on C&pt,
Lightburn’s log and broke it, and
thlt saved Capt. L’s.
i life, for he was
td sjU her, but couldmot go on ac
count of the' accident, so another
man weqt as Captain.”
“Well, but how did that save his
r life?” we asked. .
“Well, you see, the duBignon was
nevef heard from after she went to
.sea, so the presumption- is .the ship
and crew were all lost.”
, “Weropny ,other vessels built hgre,
. Cdptain?”
“Yes, several others—schooners—
I remember two in partiedli
Chas. Keid, built
^ FUnders, s tfoe father of our ; harbo:
master, Jlr. Chas. & Flaniers. These
two vessels were built for the Satilla,
* Fancy Bluff and Savannah trade.”
“Were there any,others ?”
. “Yes, also Capt. Lesoerre built one
for the West India trade, and Mr.
Jewett built two steamers here, both
f 'sternwheelers.”
“Where were the steamers built?" 1
“They were built right where the
the Drury’s wharf stands-" *
The Captain being in a communi
cative mood about old timesf wo ask-
* ed him for some other reminiscence
of these dayp. ,
"Well,” said, he, “I. will tell you of
'^something else that happened at
Drury’s dock. A fellow named Pote
Rowe bet $50 that ho could dive
.; • across this river. His bet was taken
in a minute,* and the money put up.
' The chap was a kind of a wedgiJ
shaped fellow—he pulled off his
clothes and into tho water he went
headforemost The crowd stood*and
watched and finally gave him up for
lost, but about that time he popped
up right under the marsh on the oth
er shore and swam back and got his
money. Well good bye, the Cracker
1 Boy must bo off for Satilla rivor.”
i*?
The Press Believed.
. The harbor committee went down
to quarantine yesterday, and soon
looked over the situation and relieved
the pressure of vessels wishing to
disohargo ballast Several vessels
have alreadjr disetquged, taking from
twelve to twenty four hours each,
and by to-night - the committee will
have room for three vessels at a time,
and by next Monday or Tuesday all
will be through, so that what'seemed
a great bug-bear has vanished and
become as nothing.

them out. Ccesar, it is said, besieged
army equal to his own, but he starved
them into a surrender, and it was
conceded that his men were better
armed. It was left for Confederates
to assail a foe of equal or superior
numbers, with arms equally good,
and protected by ail that art could
do, in a place of great natural
strength. The spot was pointed out
to me where the Confederate charge
was checked, anil certainly tho brave
fellows very nearly succeeded. But
it was not to be. They were driven

The democrats have recent
ly utilized the highest point of the
fort for the erection of a “Hickory,"
bearing aloft the stars and stripes
and a picture of “Cleveland.” Some
say he is to be bur next President,
but the point is hotly disputed here,
and there are rallies and counter ral
lies, and “Belva” comes smilingly to
the front. One of her devotees Miss
“Clementina Clemens” speaks here
to-night.
One side or the other can be heard
almost any night, 'and some nights
you might hear several sides. I
heard two good things from Mr.
Taylor, tho famous >*riob,” recently.
His opponent in joint debate, asked
him if he would vote for a negro?
Taylor turned to bim and said:
“When I have voted with tho negro
for twenty years, I will answer that
question." His opponent claimed
that there were in Tennessee 140,000
children who never attended school
“My friend may be right as to the
number of children who aro not
found in the schools, but those ehtl-
dren aro at their mothers breasts, in
their mothers arms - or toddling
around their- mothers’ knees. When
the/get old enough, I promise my
republican friend -that he will-find
them in school, and moreover, b*
will fiad just as many, or more; still
not in school Wo are progressing,
Sir, progressing.” •

The Tennessee, or “Holston” as it
is called here, is about one fourth of
a mile widd and is crossed by two
fine bridges. One for wagons was
built by the city to accomodate the
large country traffic to the eastward.
Tho other was built by the Knox
ville and. Augusta Railroad Co., and
is now owned by the Richmond and
Danville system. This road is in
operation to Marysville, about twen
ty miles. I have heard nothing
of any contemplated extension of it.
High hills on the’opposite side, make
the river look much narrower than it
is. These hills are utilized for
building stone, they furnishing an
excellent quality. The refuse from
the quarries, is passed through a
crushing mill, reduced to a uniform
size and put on the streets, as shells
are done with us. The city has thus
an excellent paving and building ma
terial at its very doors.
I will not further trespass; but
should you care to hear further ot
this or surrounding localities, I may
accomodate you at some future day.

The Port Society;
The above society have rented
rooms in the old custom hocso build
ing, where services aro 'held each
Sunday by Mr. Halvor Iverson, a
Norwegian genliemon. Most all of
foreign sailors are Norwegian
and by the way, they are about the
only nationality who care anything
about religious privileges. Mr. Iv
erson is doing a good work among
these people, and the society ought
to stand by bim and give him eyery
