SOLID SAVANNAH.
The Importance of Home Manufae-
lures.

A correspondent Of the Atlanta Post
Appeal, in a letter from Savannah, in which
considerable space is devoted to q descrip-
ton of the beauties of the Forest City, and
a discourse upon the spread of liberalism
and independentism in this district, which
is rather imaginative, pays the following
tribute to our commercial worth:
"But leaving this pleasing scene and View
ing Savannah in its business aspect, one is
irresistibly brought to the conclusion that
this city is laid upon q solid foundation.
Everything here indicates solidity. There
are cities of much larger size which seem
to have s sort OF mushroom growth But
here the houses, as q rule, are substantial,
and present an imposing appearance, nstur-
ally producing the idea Of permanence.
The business men moving along the princi-
pal thorougfares with long, steady strides,
create the impression of stability, and re-
mind one Of sturdy, determined Eogllsh-
men. Standing upon the wharf and watch
ing the vessels which lined the bosom Of
the river IS far as the vision could reach
some lying at anchor, some coming
ard some going, while others were loading
or unloading their cargoes Of precious
freghts, your correspondent was forcibly
impressed by the fact that with this ready
meaDs or egress TO every quarter Of the cut
side rid, and with It's railroad facilities
and Communication with the domestic int
rior, SayaBnsh cannot fail to remain forever
an important city among the commercial
msrts Of the globe. Grant that nearly all
Of the enormous quantity Of cotton, naval
stores, live stock and produce handled here
goes 10 foreign lands, yet the mere fact
that these things must come here in order
to reach their ultimate destination Is itself
important. The very means by which they
are brought here constitute the basis of Sa
vannah's prosperity. II they only pass
through they leave In their passage
no Insignificant amount of money
But enough Of them must stop
here to satisfy home use. AID 8 much
larger quantity OF the exports and imports,
which are thought simply to pass In transitu
through Savannah, is actually bought end
exchanged here in the way of mercantile
Transactions than IS generally supposed.
Nor is there any reason why the home con-
sumption should not be vastly increased If
the proper attention were given to manu-
featuring in this city. II enough capital
were invested in cotton factories to manu-
facture most Of the cotton now shipped
from this port to foreign markets, thus
giving employment to thousands Of opera
ives and augmenting the population Of the
city, there is no calculating the benefits tina
% GIT result therefrom to Savannah e
growth and prosperity. 1t is q matter Of
some surprise that the city has not taken
more active steps in this direction

The Murder of Michael shea.

Il has been commended BY detectives and
c)nstables that the great reason why
escaped murderers and other criminals are
not apprehended is that no inducement is
offered them to undertake the risk and ex-
p=nse. They are not able. to spend the
money necessary in working up" cases of
this character unless there is certainty of
being compensated. They claim there is
also great personal danger attending such
affairs, especially in accomplishing an arrest.
These grounds are well taken, and we have
always favored the offering of rewards
where some Infamous crime has been com
ted and the perpetrator has escaped, be
lieving that the good name Of cur city in q
measure rests upon the prompt arrest and
punishment Of such criminals.
Among the recent crimes that have dis
grscsd the annals of our city is the murder
OF Michael Shea, the particulars of which, so
far as could be ascertsined by the COroner's
investigation, are known TO our readers.
Upon the recommendation Of the grand
Jury Of this county the Governor has offered
5 reward Of $50 for the apprehension Of the
murderer or murderers Of Michael Shea. and
Mr. John Prenaible has added another 500,
making IN all $3.50. Now let our enierpris-
ing aud sbrewd detectives go TO work and
unravel the meshes Of this crime and bring
the criminals to justice. the reward is
ample and should stimulate the detectives
70 action.
