EDITORS CHRoNIcLE :-Aceording
to promise, write you few lines
from this point, as l shall not have
an opportsnity Of writing you again
until my arrival in Florida. So far,
my journey has been one of much
pleasure, although nothing worthy Of
note transpired on the roate to this
place.
On arriving at Atlanta, I had to
remain four hours, and during the
time took survey of the city. From
observation. 1 should think that in
few years, 1t will rival New Orleans
IN population. The citizens are wide
awake in regard to the mechanical
interests of the city, and the sound
of the hammer is heard in every di-
rection. Buildings of every descrip-
ton are going up in all portions of
the city. AT present over one humid
red houses are being erected, and it
is almost impossible to enumerate the
number of buildings just completed.
If GAINESVILLE had the same spirit of
enterprise that Atlanta has, it would
soon be one Of the first cities of Ten
nessee. Fhe KimbaIl House is one
of the most magnificent hotels in the
South, and will, when completed,
cost about 100000. 1t is really n
beautiful structure.
Macon is thriving city, and is
improving rapidly, but will not COM
pare with Atlanta or Savannah, as
ten buildings are erected here while
there is one erected in Macon.
Savannah is by far the handsomest
city have ever seen, and it bids fair
to eclipse any city in the South, in n
few years. Four or five hundred
houses have been erected here during
the past twelve months, and the de-
mand for more is rapidly increasing.
1 am perfectly charmed with this city
and admire the public spirit mani
tested by its inhabitants. Buildings
are going up rapidly in every portion
of the city. The parks and drives
are beautiful. Business is brisk and
on the increase. Cotton is arriving
in vast quantities. Everything is
on the move, and the people pushing
ahead with new enterprises.
/ arrived here at 4 o'clock this morn
ing, and have visited every portion
of the city.
To morrow, ut 8 o'clock, / shall
take the steamer for Florida, ,and
hope to he able to give q good report
/ from that section of country.
The weather is very warm here,
and summer clothing is found to be
very comfortable.
The bay is lined with vessels, load
ing and unloading, and every indica-
ton points to Savannah as becoming
great and wealthy city.

THOSE who have been hasty In con-
demning France for breaking off ne
gotiations for armistice, have, we
think, overlooked very vital reason
for such course. Starvation is the
offensive means most relied upon by
Prussia for the capture Of Paris
Then 1t is clear that, during the
twenty-five days of apparent mac
tion, the war, on the part Of Prussia,
would be actively waged, whilst the
defensive means of Paris would be as
actively diminished. Such an ar.
mistice is the very thing Prussia de-
sires, and it would be madness in
France to grant it. The struggle, be-
fore Paris, turns upon the more or
less of meat and bread, and the prac-
teal giving away of twenty-five days
rations would be efficient aid to the
besieging force. There can be no
Justice in an armistice which denies
to Paris the right to supply itself
with the rations to be consumed du-
ring its continuance. This right be-
ing denied, reflects no honor upon
Prussia and exonerates France from
censure in declining to play into the
hand of her enemy.
