Reference was made in Yesterdays letter to the growth of Savannah and other evidences OF lis pros peritY. A somewhat more extended view of the city has shown that there is a greater amount of Improvement going ON than first impressions led US to believe. In every portion Of the city we find new resi- dences going up, some of which win be very handsome when completed. IL Is certainly an indication of prosperity when there is demand for so great q number of large and elegant residences as win be erected IN Savannah this year. But the evidence of this prosperity is not con- fined to the number and character of the dwellings in course of cree ton, for it viii be found that q very considerable addition viii be made to the houses TO accommodate the growing business of the city. II is very doubtful whether anything like an equal number of buildings, and of so desirable class will be erected in any Southern city during the present year as in Savannah The buildings being erected constitute only an incident in the growth and prosperity of Savannah. The figures of the COM merce and enterprise of the city tell the tale of its prosperity more eloquently than mere words. These have been collated by the Savannah NeaCs, and as these facts and figures win be interesting to your readers, especially at the present time, they are reproduced as follows. The statement exhibits the commerce of Sa- vannah for the quarter ending Dec. 20, 1869. The exports were as follows:

Nh DOUGLAS AND THE TARIFF.-Some of the Breckenridge papers affect great in dignation at the Geographic report Of one of Judge Douglas Pennsylvania speeches, in which he said something about the tariff - Admitting chat he came square out for pro- lection, specific duties and all, which of course is simply absurd, does it lie in the mouths Ct administration newspapers to put on airs about it? Has not Mr.. Buchanan, in every annual message sent to Congress, recommended protective tariff Has he not been thigh duty man for years, and did he not oppose in Cabinet the free trade tariff Of 1916? These are matters of COM mon notoriety. It is equally we'll under stood that the colleague of Mr.. Breckin- ridge, Mr.. Powell, was prepared to vote for Morrlll's tariff last session, and also that if it could have been brought to tie vote in the Senate, MFR. Buchanan was prepared to make it law. We state this On informa- ton received at the time from prominent Pennsylvania supporter of the Vice Presi dent. But there is no occasion to resort TO lengthy arguments Mr. Douglas, in his Pennsylvania speech, simply attacked the present unfair tariff, and intimated his will lingness to 90 back to the Robert J. Walk er tariff of 1916, in order to get at an equal lied scale Of duties. and to provide revenue sufficient to meet the current expenses Of the government. II, incidentally, the interests Of Pennsylvania could be promoted, o one would be more pleased than Mr.. Douglas. This is his offending, and no further: "The Republican House Of Representa- tives in Ohio, in order to please the cotton and WOODEN manufacturers of New England. who wanted additional protection in the shape of reduction Of duty on wool, dye stuffs, and other articles which they used in their MILL reduced the tariff from thirty to about twenty per cent, on the average, a rate which has been found to be inadequate to raise revenue enough for the support of the government.
