1t is known to our readers that there Was
last Spring, in this city, meeting Of Min
isters and Elders of The Presbyterian
Church, convened in the Seventh Presby-
lerian church n Ranstead Cour,, which
was called The General Assembly, and
that another body under the same name
met in the First Presbyterian Church on
the Washington Square. The first is usu
ally designated the Old School, the latter
the New School, and the question in issue
is. which is the true General Assembly
The Realtors affirm that the New School
Assembly is the true Assembly. and their
acts are valid--the Old School par,y,who
are represented by The defendants, deny
this, and say thai the New School party
seeded aud Withdrew from the General
Assembly, and are no longer part Of
the Presbyterian Church.

population of the city, exclusive Of the
county of Chatham, was 7,776. In 1886
it had increased to 12,755, being all addi.

three years ending in August last upwards
Of 100 buildings (many them brick) of
various sizes have been erected IN the CITY
and suburbs. (several of them imposing
fire-proof ware houses capable of storing
large quantities Of cotton,) while since
that period many substantial edi6ces have
been raised.
One thousand feet of new wharves have
also been recently reclaimed from the
river for the use CT the city. and eighteen

having been raised within the last two
years. The value of her real estate has
thus materially improved, as evinced by
the high rents and The still increasing de-
maud for houses, sensiby augmenling the
ordinary sources of the city's revenue. If
we turn to the river and enter into details,
we see twenty-five steamboats, belonging
to this port, with an aggregate tonnage of
3,704 5l-95, and engines Of l,02l horses

and trading here which hail from other
places. as Charleston and Darien. We
see also thirty -Scuen square rugged vessels
owned in whole or in part in Savannah.
of which is are ships Of the largest class,
averaging more than five hundred tons.
We would also point to our Rail Road,
which is now travelled by locomotives
more than sixty miles, and has been
graded for l03 miles, and under contract

some time to come, will depend upon he
respective proceedings Of, the above TWO
Generals. When they meet, for il is prob
able that they will shorll yshave personal
interview, i, will not he for the first Time.
II we mistake not, it was upon the eve of
the ever o-be-remembered 4th Of July,
lSI4, that Gen Scott was advancing across
a beautiful plain about mile and hall
above Chippewa, with body OF choice
American troops whom he intended to
drll before SUI down, when he met Gen.
Porter's light troops iu coninsion,and Gen.
Brown who was riding hard TO put the re-
serve OF the army in motion; The enemy
was drawn up i'll tull and regular order OF
battle, supported by heavy battery, with
ia point blank shot ol the bridge.
Geu. Scott passed the bridge, under a
dreadful fire, formed his line, drove back
the Brush ana hated moment to take
breath; Just theu the suoke from The firing
cleared away and a drummer WAS shot
dow II by the side oi Gen Scott; TWO OF his
men INSTANTLY seized the drum, and began
10 fight for the possession OF it, and at
last appealed 10 Gen. Scott to decide on
lheir respective claims to possession.
Al this critical junclure, party Of Brit
Isl, sllarp->hoo'ers leveled their guns at
the interesting trio, and IN a few moments
they would all nave lam lileless upon the
plain, had not gallant British officer, who
saw the whole ol these movements, rode up
Ia front of the r'1lemen AMI beat UP their
gnns with his sword; that officer was Gen.
Sir John Harvey, and that was his first
meeting with Gen. Scott. In few nlo-
ments afterwards, the firing Increased, the
smoke thickened, and as the British were
soon seen flying in confusion across the
plain to their works behind The Chippc-
wa, Of course Gen. Scott saw no more at
that time Of Gen Harvey.
However, they will doubtless meet again
day or two, and as they have added

years 10 their undonhted bravery and hon

they know each Oiner well. as men OF
nonor, bravery. and sound sense. and

There is sure TO be fire, where there is
much smoke, and as his pitiful ''rsquest"
seems 10 bc darkened sin extreme with
the smoke Of folly, am led TO think that
there is spark of ambitious fire lurking
within his veins, that often leads the i'm
prudent scribbler to stick his ideas in the
corner of newspaper, because they are
too ligl,, and airy to be confined within the
narrow limits of his contracted mind.
In the close of his idle effnsion, he says
that .sshe has an independent fortune at

he knows not whetherhe can marry "the
fortune" and be happy, when there is the
aseiess appcndage attending it called rife.
Poot fellow hope the fair one will keep
