Pfivaniiih is the
lurg'tat, and was, previous to
the compli tion of ihn Davis ecesion, tha nuMt
itonrimg - minierciul city in the Huac ot (iuornin.
It is the r.ipnal of Chatham c.inntv, and was a
port of riistoms entry before the war. The city
was foundi'd by fietieral Oglothori in 17.12-3. It
is sitnaled on the right bank of the (savannah
river, eighteen miles from its month, and lies
ninety miles wet-outhwest from Charleston, S.
C, and one hundred and eighty miles east-south-eoft
of Milledwevillo. a. Its bearings are Inti.
tude ;)2 degrees 6 mlnntcs north, longitude HI
decrees H minutes west.
Tho city is Imllt In a sandy plain elevated
about forty feet above low-water mark. A
considerable extent of rice swamp ground lies iu
Its rear, tbe exhalations from which render the
town unhealthy at certain seasons of the year.
Tho stre. ts of Havannnh are wide, unpavedl an I
sumly, but laid ont WiU tuuijarity, and
well shaded with tri Twtsj m twenty-tour
public siiu.irrs, each of rnw(teraile extent, and
all closely nhflilcd with Piido of India trees.
iraa-y proiueniides run through the middle of
two oi tlic streets llroad and l!ay having ample
curriiige ways on either side.
A great number of tbe private dwellings in
S,ivnnn.;h arc bniltof brlek. Tho city contains a
now custom houi.o, bnilt in IN:i, a city exeh ngo,
Mato arsenal, theatre, ismrt bmise, artillery
armory, jail, and other public biiildimrs, of giad
sire ami very noat design and fmi.-h. Tho cus-om
house is one hundred and ten feet long and tifiy
two feet wide. It is built of granito, and is said
to have owl $ 173,000. There are fourteen Pro
totant and two or three Catholic churches in
Savannah, a Jewish synagogue, and a public
library, which contains between six and seven
thousand volumes.
tSavnnnah city is ornamented with n monument
erected in honor of the memory of (ieuoial
Cireene, ar.d another a very imposing structure
was going op in honor of Pulaski in the year
IMil. l'iila-M fell, as will be remembered, in ui
atiack on Savannah, then held by tho UritUh, in
October. 177!'.
Tbe city of Savannah Is the centre of a very ex
temlve srs'em of railroads, which contributed
vastly to its commercial importance and general
prosperity bei'oro the Initia ion or tbe K !bcl in
apiracy, but uluch have been ehieflv used lor mili
tary pnrposes by tho Southern leaders since the
commencement of the Kchcllion. Thirteen rail
rosils, direct or tributary, converged to Savannah
in 1MI1, and their united length measure ! one
thousand and titty-live miles.
TIIR AI'rHOACIlF.S TO HA ANN A II .
The whole spacai be twee u ilie city and the o 'can
is cut up and intersected by rivers, creeks, cuts,
awnmp. mid opeuings.
Wail's cut is an ooeoiug from Port Rnval into
tbe Savannah river, with some eight f t depth
at high wMer. Tbts cat opens Into the Savann ih
river about six ml es above Fort Pulaski, and is
of conrso ont nf the raugn of Its guns.
On the Ueorgia k of the river there are two
openings, known as Wllmmrtcm creek and Frei
borne'a cut, cofincetiBg Warsaw sound with
Augnstino creek or river, and from tbonee with
Savannah river. Tbnie two openings run for
some distance through the niarth, ipiito near to
the main Tiver, say wlihin half a mile, aud this at
a point opposite Wall's cut, and about two miles
from it.
Kkidaway It a large Island lying parallel with
the main; it it aiiout twalvo union from the city,
nnd is connected wkb ( auin laud by bridges.
There i.s a heavy di-ungMttT Mter there.
thk AvAtrjaa aivmi
is tbe dividing lino between Ooorgia nnd South
Carolina. It is formed hy the Tugaloo and Klo
wee, two fmall streams which rise near the south
frontier of Morth Carolina, and unite on the boun
dary Ik tween Ainloisoii district, South Carolina,
and Franklin county, ( ieorgia.
Flowing in a general south-southeast dlre"tln,
it forms tho boundaries between those States
through the whole of its subsequent course, and
enters the Atlantic near 32 degrees north latitudo
and SI degrees west longitude, aud eighteen mllos
below Savannah city. The length of the rivor,
exclusive of branches, la estimated at four bun
dred and fifty miles.
The navigation is good from November till
June about e ght months in tho year. Lire
vest els ascend U Savannah, and steamboats of
one hundred and titty tons to Augusta, about
two hundred and thirty miles, nnd smaller bjats
one hundred and titty miles higher.
On tbe Savannah river the bod les of fide swamp
lands are extensive, and are ca tivatcd upwards
of twemy miles from tbe brackish marsh up tho
river. These lands are considered the most valu
able in tho State, on account of their growth of
rice. Many of tho rice plantations have a pic
turesque uppcuiauce.
Fort Jackson Is three miles below the city.
Warsaw, not far from Savannah, is reached by
nn Intiicaio iu trance, with ten feet of water on
the bar. The place has no connections nor im
portance, except its proximity to Savannah. I
Ossobuw Inlet, oil tho mouth of the 0,'ecUecl
river, has a depth of fourteen tuet on Ibe bar.
St. Catharino's channel has eight and a half
feet on tbe bar, and is not more than two hun-,
dred yards wide.
Sapelo Inlet hut from eighteen to twonly feet
of water.
These three channels lead to Sunbtiry and
othi r Insignificant places on tbe sounds, not con
nected by railroad or navieable rivers with tbe
inn rit r. Darien, on the Altamalia river, has a
(.ingle iultt, wi:h thirteen feet on the bar, called
Doboy lulet. Tbe place has no railroad or other
cotLuairei.il connection with the inland towns.

He leh bound to return to the Committee bis niu
ccie thanks lor the manner in which uis services
weie spoken of by them, and believed the con

The preliminary reception was now concluded
so far us ceremony was coiuorned, an J tho tla0'
ihip proccedtd on lur way up the harbor.
Siuch cuiiosily was iiiauifusted by momtiers of
Ihe conuniitcc with regard to tho vessel which
has become so famous during the war. Her docks
were thly enough, but her rigging aud spars bore
testimony, from thoir wcathcr-woni appearance,
to ihe scvcriiy of tho storm they have recently
withstood; while, turbans, an observant eye
might have dcic-ted Indications of sternt r strife
thau ibat of tbe elements tho freshly mended
buttle scare which paint could not wholly hide.
His: AUMIHAI.'m AI'l-KAUANCK.
In persoLal upptarance, Admiral Farragut
would suggest to tho minds of the many Ihe
"Sir Ucnais Oaks" of Cooper's novel of the
"T0 Admirals." Hale, hearty, and of rather
fpnro but powerful mould, the hero of New Or
leans sud Mobile buy is apparently bctwocn tiny
and sixty years of ugo. He looks as if be dearly
lovid a joke, steps w ith tho springiness of a hoy,
and bis manner is so perfectly frunk and Unas
turning that it is no Homier be is beloved by hit
olllcersand men.
nlllNlllNG THE ADMIRAL ON 8IIOHK.
It was about 3 o'clock, when the revenno
cuttcr JBoaar.with Messrs. Moses Taylor, Sioaue,
and a few oilier gentlemen of thu Committee,
started a second lime from her dock at the It it
fery, tor Mrs. Admiral Farraitut's "dear old
Hartford," which, by this time, had coma to an
choiagc in tho harbor. She was toon reached,
and Admiral Farragut, accompanied hy
Captain Diuyton, the commander of the
Hartford, Collector Draper, General Van
Yliet, and several olhcers of ihe Bhip,
discentled to the deck of the llroiu, while
Ibe Hurlfurd saluted with a diseliiirgo of both
br adsi'les. The outer pushed oil', aud the party
df sceoded to ber cabin, where tho short interval
of the pA-sugu to tbo shore was occupied in a
si clal, etia'ty way, Ibe Admiral Appearing iu a
most excellent humor, but having little to say,
and apparently somewhat disconcerted at tho
number of eyes that were fastened upan bis face.
Put a few moments elapsed before
TUB AHHIVAL AT TUB HATTEUT.
The sppearanco of the gallant Hartford in the
harbor bad not been generally made known, but,
nevertheless, quito a throng was collected at tho
dock, awaiting tbe arrival of the cutter, and
anxiously trying to caicb a glimpse of tbo Hero
of Mobile. Cheer after cboer arose an ho stepjied
on the pier, and before reaching trrra Jirnia tho
mob bad increased to hundreds, and tba
Admiral bail to run gauntlet of out
stretched, welcoming hands, which he geod
bon oredly shook to the best of his
ability, before reaching the coach which was in
wniting. In this be at length found refuge, ac
companied by Collector Draper, and drove
towari t the Cus'om House, followed bvpin omni
bus filled with Ibe remainder of the snite. The
crowd was soon left Ischind.and, probably, but
one of our i lilf cns knew that the simple hack,
which drove so rapidly up Broadway ami down
Wall street, conta ncil Ibe distinguished person
ages which it did, until be arrived.
AT 1UK ( IST0M HOl'SK.
Hcie another crowd, wild with enthnslasm,
was so quickly collected that it was with diinenlty
that the party, with tbeoldber in their midst,
andfollowui by a press of solid citizens, c ull
penetrate up stain to the Collector's room. This
was, however, at length reached, hut filled, almost
as soon, to suil'oeution with tho eager crowd, but
a small space being reserved for the Admiral,
Mcssis. Draper, Taylor, and a few others. Among
the notables present we noticed General John
Cochrane, General Wetmore, the Hon. Hiram
Walbriilge, Assistant Treasurer Stewart, and a
great many other.
Collector Draper called the meeting to ordor,
nnd intrs-diiied Moses Taylor, I'.sq., who said
that, in behalf ot tho citla-ns of New York, he
cordially welcomed Admiral Farragut to tho
nielroKils. lie believed that tho siib eoumit'.ci-,
who had firs' met tbe Admiral on board the
Huit ford, bad already explained the pro,-:ranim
which it bad been determined to pursue, which
left him little further to say.
Collector Draer said :
Admiral Farragut ami Mcmlwrs of the Com
mittee: Thus fur we havo lullilled tho duty
which has been assigned to us. The suii-c nn
mittee have met the Hartford, and found on board
her honored commander, Admiral Fan-jtruC
(chcersi, and his commander. We have per
formed thntduty on behalf nf tho Committee, with
leclinirs of pride and satisfaction ; and, as repre
senting a generous eommnni'v, have endeavored
tocxhihil the gratitude ol tho entire nation, as
expressed through the city, for the servicos nnd
gallantry of the noble Admiral who is now before
us. 1 shall say nothing more, Admiral Farra
gut, than to repeat what I have said to yon this
morning, that all our citir.cns, of every age a-ul
condition, receive ymi with oicn arms und heart
lelt gratitude.

The Admiral arose and responded us follows :
My friends, I can ouly reply to you us 1 did
In fore by saylnir that I receive these compliments
with great thankfulness and deep emotions. I
am entirely tnaccu-tom- d to in iko such nn ad

but if 1 do not express what I ttiink of tho honor
you do me. trust mo I feel it tno.t deeply. I
don't think, however, that 1 particularly dosorre
anything Irom your bands. I ,ati iiior.iy say
that i have dune my duty to the bsCo; iiiy

I hnve been devoted fo the service of mv coun
try since I was eight years of n'c, and mv father
was devoted to it ucrore mo. 1 have not sp dally
ibserved ,theso demonstrations of your regard.
1 owe everything, perhaps, lo chance, and to the
praiseworthy exuriioua of my brother om:eis
serving with me. That I have been fortunate it
most true, and I am thankful, deeply thankful,
for it, for my country's sake. 1 return my
thanks to the Committee for tielr leioluiiens,
