Chase, Treasurer of “Our Boarding House Combination.” He is an affable and plsasant gentle¬ man, and a thorough business man in every respect. Steam Pilot Boat. A steam pilot boat from Philadel¬ phia, called the Jennie Wilson, is lying at the wharf foot of Lincoln street. She is a beautiful boat and was built ex¬ pressly for fast sailing and speed. the* The crew suffered greatly during trip and had to put in three places on ac¬ count of the cold weather and rough seas. She is bound for New Orleans, where she is to remain temporarily. A Noble Act of Charity. A strong robust man named Patrick Reynolds, from Bryan county, was dis¬ covered in a fit on Franklin square last evening by two young ladies. At first they and imagined hastened the man was intoxi cated away from the scene, but their womanly feeling aud better and nature ascertain prompted the condition them to re¬ turn of the man. They procured assistance and had Reynolds remedies removed to a applied, drug store where proper were and the man sufficiently restored to tell that he Samaritans was penniless paid and the hungry. bill, The kind gave him some money and directed him to a boarding house. the In this kind act of charity there is most rendered practical and sermon; and the as¬ sistance prompt attention given this man, deserve the highest commendation.

The casket was then placed on the catafalque in lae centre of the hall. The surrounding objects were draped in mourning and colors commemorative of the occasion. The Artillery of which deceased was an officer during the first E art of the war, acted as a guard of night onor, relieving each other during the in their vigil over the remains of their late companions in arms. Yesterday morning opened most in auspiciously. heavily It had been raining and during the night and the streets ing squares presented a most uninvit¬ appearance and condition, but during the the forenoon the clouds cleared away, rain ceased and the sun shone out clearly and brightly. About 10 o’clock the several military organizations issued from their respec¬ tive armories and formed on South Broad street, under Col. C. W. Ander¬ son. The first regiment was under the command of Capt. Geo. A. Mercer, and the colored under acting Col. Wm. Woodhouse. The members of the bar, according to a previous arrangement, marched down Bull street from the court house to the church. The military in the meantime marched down Bull street and formed on Congress. About half past eleven o’clock the remains were Church, brought from the Exchange to Christ tillery escorted by the Chatham Ar¬ and the Mayor and Aldermen. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Daniel Boone, Rector of the church. The beautiful, solemn and impressive ceremonies of the dead, in¬ voluntarily brought tears to the eyes of most present. After the services had been finished in the church, the casket drum was replaced in the hearse, the while the corpse drawn in centre of the street was playing a solemn dirge. The sad rites being over, the military under command of Brig. Gen. Anderson, im¬ mediately formed into a line in the fol¬ lowing Georgia order: 1, HuBsars, Captain R H Anderson, numbering 32 men. 2, Company D, Filth United States Artillery, Captain Rawls, numbering 25 men. 3.

The route which was followed by the cortege and militaryl was up Congress to Drayton, Drayton to Gaston, oown Gaston to Barnard, Barnard to Ander¬ son, thence to Laurel Grove Cemetery, reaching which, the military was halted and drawn up in a single line facing South, and extending from the gate some distancej beyond Montgomery street. The Chatham Artillery, acting as a guard of honor, passed in the Cemetery, where the funeral ceremonies were com ducted by the Rev. Mr. Boone, and all that was left of the honored and bril¬ liant dead was consigned to the grave, where kind, loving and respecting friends and kindred bid him an eternal adieu. The Chatham Artillery then fired a few rounds from one of the Washing¬ ton guns and then retired. They were the speedily followed by the remainder of their military, which was dismissed by respective commanding officers. The funeral cortege and procession was one of the largest and most imposing our city ever witnessed, The greatest deference was paid the re mains by the vast assembly, and the best order was maintained and pre¬ served from the first arrival to the final interment of the illustrious dead. Police Court Items. This morning the court presented quite a lively appearanse, there being quite a heterogeneous mixture in its make up, and would have afforded a phrenologist a fine chance for the study of man, especially that portion of the race who come under the catagory of crime, lawlessness and disorder. We noticed one “Dick Swiviler,” two “Urich Heaps” and one “Magdalene” in the company this morning. The “make up” of the arrest at the Mayor’s C<*irt, is always, more or less attended with some little incident which savors of the ridiculous, and this morning was no We exception to the rule. give the cases as follows : Hattie Mclntire, colored.

We desire the outsiu.6 world, bssid^s, to know th&t Savannah, in addition to being the second cotton port in the country, is als0 a Clt 7 of considerable other buai und ness — a young leviathan, so to speak, we think we shall most conclusively demonstrate it before we conclude this article. It was the boast of Athens ^hat once controlled the trade of the Grecian _ Archipelago, and in order to break up this trade the people of Venice and other States united and finally destroyed her. We do not wish to boast that Savannah controls the trade of the South Atlantic, but we do assert that she is looming up amon the controllers of this vast trade, an in time will be like Athens, the envied of the cities surrounding her. The most determined croaker that sighed ever groaned over the hard times, or for better days would have been silenced could he have accompanied us in our visits Saturday to the business men take to pleasure gather information, which we in submitting. There was not an active merchant in the city who did not seem buoyant and hopeful, and there was not hardly a single word said about the depression of trade. Every one seemed to feel that the solid foundation had been reached at last, and that the days of kite flying were over. The business man who kept his head above water by borrowing, and who kept up appearances by spending that which did not belong to him has disap¬ peared. The change in business is already evident, prices have^fallen, but purchasers ask for less credit aud want the lowest cash prices. As a result, they can get them, and the margin of profits, though small, is sure. It is plain that most people not only have money, but that they want to get what it is worth before they part with it. Savannah has done more business—, or at least fully as much—than in former years, but the prices hare been lower, the commissions have been less, and our business men have made up profits by a large shrinkage in the losses that will always come in flush times. Thus legitmate business has prospered perhaps as well as ever before, and better, and the laboring peo¬ ple steady have reaped the reward by a fall in prices which has been far greater than the reduction in the rate of wages. The reader who cares to look through the record of last year’s trade will see that it has been one of progress in al¬ most every direction. Tne cotton trade has been immense. The turpentine trade has held its own through a year of recovery from a long war of over¬ production. The lumber trade has felt a portion new impetus all over the interior of our State, and in the export trade we have more than held our own, and the progress of building enter¬ prises has been sufficient to show that there is confidence in the future. As we look around the horizon on the dawn of the new year, there seems hardly a cloud upon the brightness of the prospect. Let us hope that nought but fair weather is in store, but make ready to stand the storm if it should come. Below we submit a tabular report of a part of last year’s business: Cotton trade for the year 1878. RECEIPTS. Upland, 699,905 bales. Sea island, 11,171. FOREIGN EXPORTS.
