SECRETARY cLAYToN's TALK.

that the American people were to-day one
people. The north, he said was as ready
to defend the South Atlantic coast as any
other part of the country. In conclusion

This closed the speaking and the city
was being rapidly approached. Most all
| the guests left the cabin to get another
! glimpse of the long lines of wharves which
| they were passing and shortly after about
2 O'Clock the City of Macon came up to
| the dock back of the Kelly building
Everybody pronounced the trip an elegant
| one, aud there was no one on board who
would not have enjoyed repeating it.

VIEW OF THE HARBoR WORK.
The work of jetty construction and
dredging in the harbor probably attracted
more attention than any other subject on
the trip, many of those on board having
taken lively interest in securing for Sa
vannah the appropriation under which
the harbor improvements are now being
carried on.
After leaving the wharf the first work
noticed was the three wing dams al
Garden Bank, designed to contract the
water way at that point. The next work
of construction which appeared was the
| low spur dam at the lower end of Fil
Island, and the training wall bearing thai
name, which was built for the rectifica.

which, before that work was constructed
