vaanah is eighteen, miles above the mouth
of Savannah river, and is ninety miles
southwest from Charleston. 1t is on level
sandy plain, about forty feet above, low tide
which plain is, one mile long upon the, river,
and extends two miles ssouthward, with
swamps upon the east and west and fronted
by, an island to the north. The icity is reg
ularly laid out with wide streets, shaded by
Pride Of India. trees. with open squares at
many Of the principal crossings. A portion
of the country surrounding the city,was laid
off by Oglethorps as a military township
to each lot in the city sof80 by, 90 feet :, an
allotment of ten feet square to the cemetery.
q garden lot Of five acres adjoining the CON
mon and farm lot of,forty-fivef acres. In
1860 the population was 22,292. Notable
public ediRces are the city exchange, court
house, state arsenal, barracks, armory, Og-
lethorpe Hall, lyceum, chatham academy,
custom house, hospi tails and asylums. The
State Bank building is considered the hand

churches there were, at the outbreak of the
war, mo less than forty7five charitable instit-
ution in the city, among which. the Orphan
asylum, Savannah hospital, Georgia infirm-
asy, Widows society and Seama MS
Friend society. A monument to General
Greene and one to Pulaski are erected in

Augusta, and with the various roads of the
northern portions of the State the Savan,
nah, Albany aud Gulf Railroad. and the,
Savannah and Charleston Railroad. Be-
fore the war a :, large amount of importing
and exporting were done here, and since,
until the capture of Fort Pulaski, the hsr-
Dor afforded an asylum for hlqckad Iun-

Savannah is historic city. The British
attacked il, and were repulsed on the Sd Of
March, 1776, but in December, ITS, they
took the city. A year later the American
and French army attempted to retake It,
but were unsuccessful. 1t was in the latter
engagement that Count Pulaski fell on the
spot where the monument now stands to
his memory in johnson square. Savannah
has been visited by two terrible confiagra.
tions-one in 1876 which destroyed 81, 900,
600 worth Of property, and the other 1920,
when the loss was 81 ,000, 900. -" ~

The Maine soth at Gettysburg.

The lecture Of Major General CHAMBER
LAIN last evening, one of the Independent
Course, was as intensely and continuously in
teresting as any lecture yet delivered in that
hall for the season. 1t was an hour and three
fourths In the delivery, was often interrupted
by the most generous applause, and, from
opening to close, it was full of thrilling discrip-
lions and recital of stirring incidents. Gen.
Chamberlain was introduced by Gen. Wash
burn, who spoke Of him as one of the first mil
itary men of New England, and we are quite
sure the part he took at Gettysburg, with his
little Spartan band, is enough to vindicate his
claim to that high distinction. -s-rT
Gen. Chamberlain was wounded ON that oc-
casion, but not severely; subsequently he re-
ceiyed fearful wound, from ball which en-
tered near one hip and came out Just above
the other, and from the effect of which he still
suffers. ,bgGI .sz2I .4-S9i D .1aIlHa
The singing by Shaw's Quartette was good,
the audience was large, and in all respects the
occasion was great success.
The next lecture Of the course will be on
Tuesday evening next, by Rev. j. M. Man
ming, of the "Old South Church, Boston.

Swedenborgisr Lectures.


| Rev. w. B. Hayden delivered the Second
Lecture of this course Sunday evening, In The
New Jerusalem Church Temple. 1t was de-
liyered extemporaneously, and held the audi
ence with undivided interest to its close.
The object of the lecture was to show the
manner in which we ought to approach a
study of the Bible. The attitude OF skepteism
and doubt-the common standpoint OF ration
alism-is unphilosophical. All sound reason
attests and would predict Divine revelation.
From the infinite love the Lord is known to
bear towards his children, we can see tnat ne
would not leave them without the light OF his
truth to guide them in the way to heaven, any
more than a human father would leave his
children in the great cave in Kentucky to find
their way out without torches or guides.
A Revelation is so fixed and universal
want of the mind that no nation consents to
live without something of the kind; and where
they have no Bible, their wisest men collect
the best traditional sayings they can find, and
regard them as the treasure of religious in
struction. Witness the sacred books Of all the
great heather communities Wise men among
the heathens, seeing the necessity Of this kind
of knowledge, have been led to hope for and
predict such Revelation.
Every rational presumption is in favor of
the existence Of Divine Word, somewhere
among men; and, when we find it, we are not
to approach it in state of doubt and skeph-
cism about its probability, but in an afirma-
tive mood, inquiring, teachable, and obedient,
looking for light. \. I-.-r t...a,
b The next lecture was announced to be on
the different kinds Of inspiration there are in
the Books of our Bible.

SPLENDID SLEIaHs.-Tw sleighs were ex-
hibited yesterday in front of the Post-ofice
which will compare with anything manufac-
tured in this country, and which are superior
to anything of the kind we have seen. They
were from the mandatory of Charles p.
Kimball, ESQ.,, of this city, and were ordered
by persons in Boston. One of them was a
magnificent double sleigh finished in the finest
style and shining like a mirror. The other
was beautiful cutter, weighing without the
shafts, only sixty-seven pounds, light, airy and
elegantly got up. Such vehicles are not only
a credit to the builder, but also credit to the
city that sustains such mandatory.
