SAYANNAH, Ga, Feb. |, 1870.


Mr.. Edtor-I arrived here safely, on the
steamer Dictator"--an excellent steamer
and since my arrival have been spend
ing my time in looking about the city. The
first thing that attracted my attention was
the activity about the harbor. 1t certainly
Is very different place fro m Charleston
Here all is hustle and hurry on the docks.
Everywhere | can see moving masses of
living beings, and as far as my eyes can
reach, | can see nothing but q forest of
masts with the cOlors of their various ma
tionalitics fluttering in the breeze. On get
ting on shore immense quantities of cotton
bales piled up all along the whaves met my
gaze. Quite q number of vessels were
loading with the staple. 1t is difficult to
keep from being run over by cotton dray
or truck whilst moving about the docks
Among the curiosities here is a machine
for reducing the size of cotton bales by
means Of hydlaulic pressure. 1t would be
impossible for me to explain the manner of
doing this satisfactorily, suffice it to say
that the bales before they are brought here,
are packed and pressed 50 that it seems i'm
possible to diminish their size to any extent,
yet by means of this powerful machine, in
less time than it will take me to relate, it
will reduce a well-pressed bale of cotton to
one-half its former dimensions. | was un-
able to learn the name of the inventor of
this useful machine. On going beyond the
wharves and walking along the first street
running parallel with them, | saw nothing
remarkable, except its filthiness, the mean
ness and inferiority of the buildings along
it, and the large number of whiskey estab-
lishments. 1t seemed us though every door
on the street had over it Licensed to sell
Liquor" IneXt wended my way into the
heart of the city. Pavements and sidewalks
of every description are scarce, and streets
muddy beyond excuse. The only thing that
makes them at all endurable is the beauty
Of the shade trees along their entire length,
and the many parks which are really attrac-
tive.
Among other things | Observed that
goats were very numerous in all parts of
the city, no matter where / went, / met
| them on the street sidewalks, on the
steps of the houses, some inside gazing out
innocently at the passer-by, and would ven
ture wager that | could tell this city from
any other blindfolded by its goaty SMELL
! The people here seem less selfish than those
of Charleston. The colored population pre-
sent better ppearance-he althier and
better clad, and there are but few idlers
about the streets. There are but few good
buildings in the city, such as are found
i'll our principal northern cities The Mar
shall House is one Of the best. and would
pass for a respectable second class hotel il
New York or Philadelphia. xxx.

SURPRISE VIsIT.-Mr. Editor: Allow the
undersigned to return their grateful ac-
acknowledgements through your valuable pa
per, to the members of the Reformed con-
gregation of Newport, who surprised them
by a visit to the Parsonage on Thursday
evening, the Sd inst, with gifts which sup
piled the wardrobe with useful articles
the pantry with flour, apples, potatoes,
dried fruit etc., and the granery with corn
and oats. The gifts thus deposited are
worth at reasonable valuation, between
forty and fifty dollars. After an entertain
ment of an hour to which the inmates of
the Parsonage, notwithstanding their want
Of practice, endeavored to contribute, the
party took leave, carrying with them our
kind Acknowledgements. These tokens of
regard furnish evidence of an appreciation
of our labors in their midst. May the Lord
abundantly remunerate the members of
this congregation for their liberality and
kindness to their pastor and family.

\. Found Dead.-One evening last week the
stating news was brought to town that a
man, a stranger in this vicinity, had been
found dead in Centre township. One Of
the persons living in the vicinity had kind
ly removed the body into new house he
was building, and sort of irregular inquest
developed the fact that the cause of the sad
affair was an over dose of whisky, mixed
with sundry potions of ale. A verdict of
DEAD DRUNK, from this cause, was accord
ingly rendered.

Another Case of Being Dragged by n


Mule.-Mr, Elias Smith, of Fayettc twp,
this county, while riding mule on his
way home on Saturday, 22nd ult., was
thrown therefrom by the sudden frighten-
ing of the beast, and dragged for some dis
tance. AS the beast was plunging through
Cocalamus creek, Mr.. Smith by good for
tune, managed to secure hold OH the flood
gate, when the saddle-girth broke, and
thereby releasing himself from his peri
lous situation. He was confined to his
room for several days from the effects of
the injuries he received. 1t will be remem-
bered that about the last of December, q
Mr.. Dearing, of Milford twp, was dragged

ELLIoTTsBuRu, Feb. 1st, 1877

Mr.. Editor: Dear Sir, understand that
Prof. Andrew Befnardus Smalnilkar has
departed this life, at the ripe age of rs years
He was an extraordinary man, and claimed
to be the third angel spoken of in Rev.
14th chapter and 9th verse. He was at
Cincinnati, when he died, and had been writ
ing something for the Ecumenical Council,
which he considered very important, and
wanted to get it published, but could get
no one to furnish the means. The general
cpinien is that he was deranged in his mind,
but / have studied his writings considera-
bly,, and think he may be right enough,
and has perhaps received the mission which
he claims, of uniting all nations into peace
and harmony.
If | knew you would publish n more
lengthy article on his work, l should be
glad to furnish it. j. r.

The Nebraska City NeWsptnr referring 70
the article in the Beatrice Clarion, rejecting
upon the character OF our townsman J. s.
HetzeI, gives the name and charge and says
pass him arOund.v Il might be advisable
for the Nelos to ascertain the facts before
passing him around'' too prOmiscuously.
The facts are that Mr.. Hetzel engaged a GER
tain space in a certain place in the Clarion,
stating that II he could not have that partic-
Iular part of the column he wanted N ad-
vertisement in that paper. tt person re-
ceiving the advertisement took IL upon that
condition, and remarked, that II that space
happened to be occupied when he got home,
he would let Mr.. HetzeI know, and not insert
the advertisement until he received further
orders. He did write that the space desired
by Mr.. Hetzel was Oceupid. Hetzel thinking
this the end Of the matter, as he wanted that
place in the paper or none, laid the letter
aside and never answered It. The adyer-
tisement, however, was inserted and a bill
brought in for the same and cash demanded,
when the bargain WaS for trade, even IL the
advertisement had occupied the place agreed
upon. Mr.. Hetzel has not even refused to
pay for the same in trade; but did refuse to
pay cash for a thing he never contract for.
This is the case, as we know it, and we have
no doubt the facts. ''Tradesmen have some
rights that printers are bound to respect
one OF which is to abide by q contract. The
practice of passing round" good, response
