SAVANNAH, February :

SAVANNAH, February 70, 1854.
Mr.. EDITOR-We would advise the
ladies' and gentlemen of our town who
propose organizing to carry on tenn
peranee crusade. that their first step be
to visit our city authorities and city po-
lice Git there is such), to pursuade them
into performing their duty. and carry
out the law; aud If they succeed in this,
all will be well. Those parties who
keep whisky and gambling shops will
then be obi ged to c.ose their back doors,
as well as their front doors, and we
doubt if they can be made to do so in
any other way. CITIZEN.

The General School Law.

The following are the most important
changes in the general school law pro-
posed by the new school bill. The de-
sign is to make the system more eco
uomical, and to remove the embarrass-
ment in the execution Of the present law:

ent after the first Monday in February, ls.?,
when the County Courts are to appoint county

A correspondent furnishes the follow
ing to the st. Joe Gazette:
We have been protected from the raw
ages Of the river through the energies
Of the railroad company, who have made
the banks bristle with the brush of over
one hundred acres Of land, and SO
weighed them down with stone that one
would suppose its security was beyond
a doubt. The work extends along the
bank nearly half q mile, and is gener-
ally considered by those who deem
themselves competent judges to be the
only true method whereby the encroach-
ments of the river can be efectually
prevented.
The brethren of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South are making desper-
ate effort for the cause of Christ in our
little town, and with some success.
They have the services Of several minis
ters from abroad, among whom are some.
of prominence from St. Joseph.
Judge Bond. Of the firm Of Bond,
Lyle 6 Co., has recently sold his inter-
est ia the establishment to the firm which
will hereafter be known as Lyle & Mos
er, and will transact business US usual at
the old stand. The sales of this firm
for the last year have amounted to near
ly go, 900.
T. NJ. Haynes, one of St. Joseph's
business men, has identified himself
with US and purchased an interest in the
steam saw mill and box mandatory,
formerly owned and operated by Messrs.
Price & Davis.
Our public school, under the manage
ment Of Charles McGonagle as princi-
pal, and Miss Alice jerks assistant, is
prospering. with an average attendance
daily OF over over one hundred scholars.
Farmers are making business lively
with our shops, preparing for the COM
ing season. They report wheat far bet
ter than at any season previous for many
years. There is q larger quantity OF
this article sown in this vicinity than
usual, and should it yield as the present
prospects would indicate, there will be
large surplus over and above our inI-
mediate wants.
| Our farmers are paying special atten-
tion to fruit growing, and from the pres
ent prospect there will be abundance
OF all kinds, the openness of the winter
thus far having been very favorable to
the trees. We notice also that some are
making extensive preparations to i'm
prove the coming opportunity Of sugar
making-from the numerous maple for
ests which abound in their neighbor-
hoods.
There is large per cent. of the farm
ers in this vicinity who have not rs Yet
cast their die in favor of the Granger
movement, out are waiting to see the
result.

Second Sermon to the un-
circumcised.

Old 1873 is of the past with
salary grab, financial panic,
cholera and other ills too numer-
ours to mention; also the Joy
Gus shouts of young America
during Christmas times with his
hide full Of "benzine" and peck
ct full Of fire crackers, the old
ones shaking their silver locks
and gnashing their artificial
teeth prophesying evil of the
rising generation, forgetful of
the puncheon floor dancing and
wearing out the only pair of
shoes they had before plow time
and having the string halt fol
the next two weeks. But time
moves and so have we to ouI
new store house where we are
prepared with panic price goods
and late addition Of staples to
furnish the good people both old
and young with the cheapest
goods they have bought since
the slate unpleasantness."

from fifteen to fifty. And out
Of this small force one hundred

This is forty-three to each thou

rate Of mortality perhaps double
the current rate at Gloucester

in presence Of a grief SO univer-
