CALHOUN TIMES LOCAL NEWS. Cioorgia I J rcss Association. Tliis body mot in Savannah on the 10th ir.st. Taking our leave on Mon day evening, the Bth, we joined Mr. J. T Whitman, of the Dalton Citizen, as he passed this place, and as the jour ney was rather lengthy, we felt fortu nate in securing the companionship cf m clever a gentleman. Reaching Ma con after a tiresome all night ride, wo ;et about to fill the interval of our short stay here-by providing ourselves ?yitb a good breal fast f r which we paid a good round price, aud took the train early afterward for tho completion of our journey. Tho appearance of the country along the Central Railroad from Macon to Savannah is likely to impress a North Georgian. One lone stretch of dreary looking pines, with an occa sional succession of marshy low ground, where cypress and magnolia mostly grow ; though wo were told that off the railroad is to be found —especially in the counties of Washington and Wilkinson —rich lands where flourish a prosperous population. We ro’led into Savannah at a con venient hour and after a good nighpp rest we joined others of the press gang in a stroll among the wonders and at tractions of the Forest City, in the morning. We visited the City Park, and found it as lovely as we had often heard it represented. It has undergone many improvements in tho past few years and new should bear the title of tho pride of Savannah. Were it not for a lack of space wo would like to Rvell a little on the attractive fea tures but uiust hurry on with a passing mention. In the centre of anew park ground recently added Rands the Con. federate monument, the nppropriat ness if (he figures, representations, and m eriptions, at once being impressive t M the Southern heart. On one side of the monument is the inscription, “To the Confederate Dead 18G1—1865," and on the other one reads thus : “Come from the four winds, 0 breath, And breath upon these slain That they may live.” The Pu'aski and Green monuments were then visited and a delightful stroll over the many attractive stre s smn brought the hour of convening and on reaching the lnll ve found present (lie largest assembly witnessed since tho organization of the association Impor tant matters in ralation to the press were freely di.-cussed, Col.

At B mavooture we were gjypp a little time to view its beauties. ( jhe regular a venous with monstrous jive oaks draped with moss wore a mournful look and were looked upon by those whoe first visit it was with wonder. At Thunderbolt we were tendered re-. f e lim n*in as many shapes desired, including shrimps crabs, etc., which the editors seemed to devour with a ke’n relish. Responding to a eoutteous invitation of Col. Kstill, on Thursday after ad journment the steamer “ Reliance ” left the Savannah wharf with a full corps of the press gang aboard for Tybee Is land. A brass band accompanying sent forth melody across tho waters and there being many ladies cn board the trip was rendered delightful. A sumptuous din ner was spread and dispatched before landing, and as our time was limited, we hurriedly journeyed for tho west end of the island by horse cars, where we were treated to a view of the ocean in sill its splendor, and occupied most of the time wc had to stay in selecting relics in the way of shells, etc. Re - turning to Savannah late in the even ing wc bad occasion to view and admire sunset on the Savannah river.

The Century of Independence em braces a collection from official sources of the most important documents and staticties connected with the political history of America : also a chronogical record of the principal events from its discovery to the present time with bio graphical aud historical skeches, etc. Printed in German and Englished. Nearly 600 pages. Price $2.0 J. Never before has si much practical information of this nature been publish ed iu any one volume. While there are many treatise pur porting to give valuable statistics of America in convenient form, it will be found upon examination that they contain a voluminous amount of mat ter which is of no utility to any citi zen. A comparison of the various produc tions w'll convince any intelligent per s son that the “Century of Independence” embraces the important documents to be ound in them all while it omits that which is superfluous and adds instead a vast collect! nof invaluable facts. No other arrangement gives one*lburtli the information in the same space and the arrangement is what makes it inval liable as a reference book, it having been complied under the immediate supervision of officials at Washing ton r J he lawyer, banker, merchant and farmer will each conclude that it must have been prepared especially wi'h ref ference to his convenience. It is designated for this work to take the place in politics that Webster’s Dic tionary docs in language, and Appleton’s Gazetteer in general literature. The binding, paper and illustrations have been made to compare with the general character of the work. Though a person can be a good citi zen without a thorough education, no good citizen can enjoy the right of fran chise intelligently without possessing the information contained in this book. While persons refuse to purchase dinary or expensive works, all classes will gladly avail themselves of the op portunity for obtaining a work so indis pensable ab£o low a price..
