SAVANNAH, GA, May 2, 1867.
Dear Dispatch, Your readers will doubt
less peruse with some interest rambling,
gos>iping epistle written in this beautiful
CITY. With its broad streets, numerous
trees, and multiplicity of flowers, have
never seen it looking more picturesque and
interesting. Every tree is covered with
foliage and every pdrtene blooming with
Flora's rarest and most beautiful offerings.
The streets, as many who have visited us
know, afford 10 pedestrians most delight
full promenade even in midsummer and at
all hours of the day. The trees, now
covered with verdure, intertwine their
wde-S spreading branches, and furnish q
canopy, beneath which all are sheltered
from The suns scorching rays. Here one
hourly meets with the beauty and fashion
OF the city, celebrated as the Savannah
ladies' are, the world over, for rare per-
sonal attractions. The Savannah ladies
take as much or more exercise probably
than those Of any other city south and to
this fact may be attributed much Of their
perfect physical development and bloom
Inc cOuntenanceS.
The weather here is unpleasantly warm
TO one hailing from region as far north
ward as Virginia; but those to the tina
nor born" smile at my complaints, and de-
clare the-temperature quite tolerable.
Vegetables are Observation-Disclosures, let
tuce, garden-peas, cabbage ground ana

cucumbers, and cymblins, may be haa q.
very reasonable figures. Pomona's cho,ces'
fruits are also pouring in upon US. Ohef-
ries, strawberries. gooseberries, currahts'
and what is known in Virginia as 'unS
apples, have attracted my attention. an'

Colonel Thweatt, the general State Of
ficer, has distributed l02,450 bushels OF
corn among the poor of fifty eight coun.
ties. | regret TO hear that, notwithstand-
ing this apparently lavish distribution OF
bread among the needy, there is yet much
distress and restitution. How sad the re-
Election that while thousands and thou.
sands are being expended daily for the
most luxurious viands and costly raiments
SO many OF the women and children of the
South are furnishing for merely the bread
OF life

that this piece is not akin to the "Black
Crook" which | am pleased to see, by a
copy Of the Dispatch, just to hand, is pro-
perly denounced in its columns. 1t is gra-
tifying TO a.Virginian to see that there is
at least one paper in the metropolis of his
native State which has the manliness and
independence to den0unce the disgusting
exhibition.
