have also, since secession, erected a small
Fort on Sidaway Island. covering the
creek 10 its west, (see map,) by which gun
boats could get up toward the rear of Sa-
yannah. The guns OH the parapet are
mostly field pieces, mounted on frame
works of wood, instead of regular cArrni
ges. Besides these, strong eNrthworkS
have lately been thrown up on the main
land along the river, to resist naval nt-
tack, as well as earthworks on the west
and south to resist land attack. Every
stock of vantage ground has been seized
upon and prepared for defence. The city,
like every other secession city, considers
itself impregnable, Nevertheless, it seems
the people will decamp when they hear OF
Port Royal and such things. The cotton
shipped from Savannah amounts TO about
400 900 bales of upland Annually,
The geographical conformation of Geor-
gia is very analogous to that of South Car
lpliua, and may be gcqnciaely described
Thus From the ocean for a distance OF
seven miles there is a chain of Islands, in
ltersected by rivers, creeks and iulets, com
municating with each other, and forming
an inland navigation for vessels of 100
tons burden along the whole coast. These
islands consist of salt marsh and land of
gray, rich soil, which produces Sea Island
cotton Of n superior quality. The coast on
the maitland, for four or five miles, is a
salt marsh. Back of these is a narrow
margin Of land, nearly resembling that of
the island; this is partially or wholly over
flowed at the return Of the tide, and con-
stitutes the rice plantations. Then com
mence the pine barrens, which reach from
sixty to ninety miles from tue coast. Be-
YOnd this is the country of sand-hills
thirty or forty miles wide; and the part
of the State beyond this again is what is
called the F"Upper Country of Georgia.
Like the southern part of South Carolina,
the southern part of Georgin is thinly pop
nlated by whites. The plantations are
large, and the slave element is dense.
The gross population OF Georgia, by the
census Of last year, WAS l ,O57r r92T, divided
into 595,o97 free people, and 462,23o
slaves. The State claim TO have raised
fifty regiments for secession service. The
secession disease in the State, however, is
not of 1.-THE same nAlignaut type which af-
fiicts her wauton Palmetto sister. The
population of Savannah is entered at a.
292, but we know from the papers of the
town, that when the news of the Port Royal
affair reached there, great part of the
population took to its heels and slid TO the
Interior There nre a large number of
Jewish tradersiu Savannah, and the papers
of the town are severe on the Hebrews for
Jewiug their wares all summer and then
running off with them in time of danger

not so brilliant, is hardly less important
than the events of that memorable day
Fourteen or fifteen thousand sOals have
been constituted into a population, and by
degrees their various needs very generally
attended to. It was labor of no small
difficulty simply to land thetroopsj bu! that
was nothing by comparison with the uu-
loading from the feet of transports of their
chrpoes. Two docks have been built, It
plank-rond laid, Immense storehouses put
mp to receive the contents of the vessels,
ovens erected, post-otice established,
simultaneously with the prosecution OF
more purely military labors, such as set
ting tents, throwing up intreuchmentsi
establishing camp police, and otherwise
administering the government Of an army.
{ thousand men at u time might be seen at
work along the shore, ,constructiugw whAryes,
driving horses through the water and
along The sand, receiving cargoes, rolling
barrels, guarding property, while three or

We are face to face, and between rs here
Il the love We thought could never die;
Why has Il only lived year?
Who has murdered it-you orI
No matter who-the deed was done
By one or BOTH and there 1t lies:
The smile from the lip forever gone,
And darkness over the beautiful eyes.
Our love Is dead. and our hope Is wrecked;
30 what does Il profit to talk and rave,
Whether It perisbed by ny nep lect,
Or whether your cruelty dug Its grave
Why should you say that am to blame,
Or why should charge the sin on you
Our work 10 before us all the same,
And the guilt OF II lies between Us two,
We have praised our love for It's beauty and grace
Now stand here, and hardly dare
To turn the face.oloth back from the face,
And see the thing that Is hidden there.
Yet look an, that heart has beat its last,
And the beautiful life Of our life 10 DER,
And when we have buried and left the past,
We two, together, can walk no more.
You might stretch yourself on the dead, and weep,
and pray as the Prophet prayed, In pain;
But not like him could you break the sleep,
Andbring the soul to the clay again.
It's head In my bosom can lay,
And shower my woe there, kiss on kiss,
But there never was resurrection.day
In the world for love 20 dead as this
And, since We cannot lessen the sin
By mourning over the deed we did,
Let us draw the winding sheet up to the chin,
Az, up till the death.bllnd eyes are hid

with reference to the expenses, 1t is proper
to state that States are charged with transport
taiion expenses which do not properly belong to
them. Thus, for example, the transportation of
the matter mailed in the District Of Columbia
for Ohio and the North-west,i is charged against
Maryland, Ohio and other States. Ohio hav-
Ing over three thousand miles OF railroad, her
expences for transportation services are pro-
portionabiy heavy. as compared with other
States.
In the aggregate receipts, the States stand
as follows: l, New York; Q, Pennsylvania; |;
3, assacbusetts; 4, Ohio; S, Illinois,; 6,
