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 •.^ontinuoA^^j||jMjjyjg|M|jHH “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.

Deputy Marshal Leavy at th4 instance of the Brunswick and South Atlantic Steam Towing & Wrecking Company, was released this morning on giving bond for $8,000. Messrs. C. Downing, Jr., and James Drury signefr the bond!- The steamship went to sea at 3 p. m. to day. It seems the steamer got aground some 'time ago, and was towed off by the above Company.

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.

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. G.
