rIences Here IN 81.
Col. Tom Lyon of Gainesville, member
mittee, from the Seventh district, was on
Of the heartiest, most wholssouled of the
members OF the late convention.
Col. Lyon said some very compli-
mentary things to Capt. ]. r. Brooks at
the De Soto Thursday afternoon about the
parade Of the Savannah military.

Cannon Shot from a Probable English
Vessel Sunk in the River.
Contractor johnson of Lewes, Del, who
has the contract for removing the old
wrecks in the Savannah river, has been
engaged this week In blowing up and re-
moving a wreck above the city, opposite
Vale Royal. The men at work on the wreck
say that it is an old brick fiat which was
sunk there a number of years ago. There
was no Information obtainable at Lieut.
Carriers office as to the exact character Of
the obstruction.
About 300 pounds of dynamite were ex-
ploded upon the wreck, tearing it entirely
TO pieces When the diver began to bring
up the old water soaked logs and other
debris he was surprised to find a
number of cannon balls lying
around of which he brought
up about dozen. They are 6 and 12-peund
round shot, apparently solid The length of
time which they have been under water has
rusted and roughsned them considerable

Charles @. Jones' account OF the attack upon
Savannah, then held by the British, by the
French and American forces in 1880
mentions that several British vessels were
captured and sunk in the river, both below
andabove the city. Those rusty old round
shot may have been of British manufacture,
intended 10 aid 10 subduing the refractory
colonists.
Contractor johnson has finished removing
the wrecks of the steamers Habersham and
Milledgeville, sunk in the river near Pig
Island as distractions during the late war
