Landing on the good steamer Jackson,

covering all with deep deposits OF
sand. Ia some places the chimneys OF

have fallen; houses have been moved
from their foundations and deposited
many wards from their former slt1s,
AID some are in ruins. AS high as the
bluff is ordinarily at Meals, we had to
embark in a flat to get to the steamer.
I suppose the river is too ou4ali t.l,.
tie farmers too poor to attract the at

of Trade OF Northern cities, yet one
cannot but feel sorry for the loss and
sul1erinss which these repeated disas-
tcrs must bring upon these people.
Tn beautiful contrast with the angry,
muddy waters Of tie river is the rich
and varigated foliage which lines either
ba1k. Every shade of green and every
co:or of the rainbow, blended in the my
riads ofwill fl overs, Nesting inthe grass,
! creeping among the boughs, give
tropical beauty to the landscape. AL
along the river, seemingly at regular
and short intervals, Magnolia trees
are seen, and occasionally vast groves
of them, their pure white flowers tow
ering above all the others. On every

CHARLESTON.

We spent one day in Charleston
very pleasantly. It was real pleas
ure to shake by the hands our old
comrades-in-arms Colonels Brown and
Hunt, of McGowau's South Carolina
Brigade, and enjoy the kindly hospi-
tality Of our friend Captain Dawson,
of the Netcs and Courier.
Charleston shows more evidences of
prosperity than at any time since the
war. Her business men speak hope
fully, and there is a considerable in
crease in the population and business
of the city.
The INe3cs and CDnrjtr establish
ment, which we visited, and were
shown through, is one Il the most
complete newspaper an1 printing offi-
ces III the South, and the paper is one
of the best AMI most enterprising in
the whole country. Il has achieved an
unbounded influence n South Carolina
and deserves it.
We had the pleasure Of meeting with
or friend, Mr.. L d. Gillespie, Gen
eral Superintendent for tie Carolinas,
Of the Southern Express Company,
who with his interesting family, re-
side at the Charleston Hotel.
We were the guests of the Charles
ton Hotel, and we can say nothing in
its favor. T.

We next visited the Central Cotton
Presses, and under the guidance Of
President Wight were shown through
the establishment. -Four powerful
hydraulic presses, each of which COM
presses q bale OF cotton in less than
five minutes, ar kept constantly at
work. The rapidity and case with
which all is done is astonishing. A
bale weighing about five hundred
pounds was compressed to width Of
inches by measurement.

a l.arlor more neatly kept, or saw a
service of silver upon gentle,nan's
table more highly polished than were
the mountinss of the engines in this
room.

of Memorial Day to visit the Cemetery
There was no formal procession, no
Grafton, but thousands of visitors,
during the entire afternoon, visited the
Cemetery, and tie graves were most
beautifully and appropriately deco
rated. Several monuments were deco
rated with beauty and care that told
how green the memories Of those who
lay beneath yet lived in the hearts of
those whose hands fashioned the gar
lands and wreaths. Without desiring
TO be invidious, we could not help
being impressed with the decorations
upon tho grave Of Lieut.. IIal,orsham,
who fell at the battle Of Chancel-
I0rsville
MEMORIAL CONCERT.
At night attended the Memorial
& ,ncert, given to aid in raising funds
to build q Men orial Monument. We
were glad to learn that n sufficient
amount is nearly raised to complete
the splendid designs of the Associa-
ton, and the work will soon be begun.
The Concert was given under the
auspices of the Choral Association OF
Savannah and furnished a rare musi-
cal entertainment.
Among those who took part in the
Concert, indeed the principal attrac
ton, was Mrs. J. ". Cameron, former
~ of this city. Her rendition of
esprit Immortal" and The Aria from
''h,oses in Egypt" was highly artistic
and beautiful. Her efforts were most
highly appreciated and applauded.
Many pleasing incidents, the meet
ing of several of our Georgia soldier
friends, and a few days of real enjoy
ment will make our sojourn in Sayan-
nah a pleasant reminisence.
We would do injustice to Mr.. Thomas
Feeley, proprietor Of the Screven
House Livery Stable, did we not re-
turn him our thanks for his many acts
of courtesy.
