BRUNSWICK, GA, July THE state
ment in my last letter as to the closing
down Of the mills on st. Simon's Island is
susceptible Of amendment. The mills are
now owned by Dodge, Meigs & Co., not
the Georgia Land aad Lumber Company,
and only one Of the mills viii be shut
down, which is done to take advantage Of
the duh season 10 reset the boilers, and to
make necessary repairs. The lower mill
viii continue to work, and their regular
shipments win be made as usual. Both
mills will probably be in fun blast again
within sixty days.
ON Friday last three Of the crew Of the
British bark Eliza Everett, discharging
ballast at quarantine, deserted the vessel
and waded through the marsh and creeks
to the city, in violation of the quarantine
rules. Considerable excitement was Gre
ated. by the effort to capture them, and
different rumors were set afioat. They
were Virginia negroes, and, as they were
last seen about six miles north of the
city walking along the railroad, it is sup
posed they are sgwine home" There
was no danger from these men, as the
vessel was healthy and from a healthy
port, but it shows what might happen.
True, no infected vessel would be allowed
in the harbor, but it is another argument
in favor of changing the quarantine sta
ton, which the Council has decided to do,
to point that will prohibit any commu-
nication with the city,.
