As will be seen oUewhere in this isue, our efficient chajrmau, Mr. J. T. Dale, publshes a call for a meeting of the liepiiblican County Committee. A full a.te.idivice is desiivd. Southern Correspondence Savassah, Oa., Feb. 8, 1876V At Fhiliidelphia on Saturday Inst, at noon, I boarded the good sliin "Juniata," Ctipt. J. W. Catherine, and shortly after wo were under way, down the Delaware Bay. The "Ju niata," is one of the Philadelphia and Southern Steumtih:p line, uud is of 1320 tons burden. The Cuptain is a gentleman whom it is a pleasure to meet, and does everything iu his pow er to make his passengers comfortable. Tbe fnro was good, aud the firt day was parlakeu of by all with appetites that did justice to the grub. But on Tuesday morning, alas I only four passengers sat dowu to their nieals; the rest, O, where were they? Well you couldn't see them, but you could hear them in their sjate rooms, appar ently playing some game, every little while some ouo ejaculating o o-o o-h! with an unction, and then would hear a souud that was suggestive, but not appetizing. Your humble servant had the honor to be one of tbe brave four, whose stomachs were proof against caVukuess, the bottoms of said ttoni achs remaining true to the attraction" of gravity. . On the second duy we camo in sight of laud, Poplur Island, aud pissed Cape Ilatterns just as the sun was set ling. The water was rough, to a land man, but tho officers averred that it was profoundly smooth. On this day we uoticed a dog, a rat and tan ter rier, which belonged to the captain's sou, aud we must (ay that in all our experience we never saw such n de praved beast. It actually chewed to bacco I aud would snap savagely at any one who attempted to deprivo it of the sweet morsel. We were hu miliated, and went off and smoked. Monday we had a quiet dnyfc nud watched the "sad sea waves," and tbe gulls, of which latter some fifteen or twenty followed us from Philadelphia to the mouth of the Eavainmh river. This day we bad a fresh accession, of about three at the table, and thi lo gan to appear more bright. 1 ai oust forgot to mention tho dolpliius, of which, in the morning, about n half dozen got immediately under our bowS, and swam just ahead of the vessel lor about an hour. Iu the afternoon, about a dozen of these fih got under our bows, and swam from two to three hours. The dolphin is about six to eight feet long, with a slim nose ubout five inches long,- fiu on cither side, and the tail put on its body horizon- lallyi instead of square up aud down, like a respectable fiih. They have no scales, are a "seal brown" on the back, and white oa tho belly. In the top of the head is a valve, which is closed when they nre uuJer water, but when they come up, as they do at short in tervals, the valve opens, and shows a round hole, apparently about tbe size of a silver dollar, which is closed im mediately when this pnrt goes under water. They are warm blooded, and are callnd by the saib.is, ' "hog-fish." This morning wheu we awoke we saw land on either side, and wero told that we were entering the Savannah river. Eveu uftereuch a short inter val, terra firma looked good, and we wero glad to know we should soou set foot upon it. This river is about twenty miles long, with low banks, some of the fluts being used for raisin" rice,wnd is flooded at the pleasure of the owner, from the river, by means of flood-gates and ditches. Suvanuttb is a beautiful city, laid out not expressly with an eye to busi ness, but with an idea that pleasant surroundings conduco to health nrul longevity. Ilctiee (he wholo city (which contains about 30,(00 inhabit ants,) is dotted all over with p'iblic parks, containing from five to fifty acres; nil planted with beautiful trees, and in several of theai beautiful foun tains playing. In a private enclosure, in front of a handsome residence, I saw two orango tres, loaded with this luscious fruit, and I longed to clutch some of them, but was restrained by tho presence of a policeman ou tbe corner.

Spring Elections. ' - Inst Saturday evening ns usual the citizens mwt nt iho arbitration room of the Court Ifou3e and nomina ted, what was suppose to bo a "citi zen's ticfcel." It was composed of some of .the best men of the place, and ta ken altogether was a good ticket. But as we said Inst week, it didn't "go down" with a number of tho voters, consequently another meeting was called ou Monday evening, and anoth er ticket put on the track. It appears that at this meeting something was said which was cal culated to diuturb the feelings of the Democrats, and perhaps they though'. they were not getliug their share of the candidates. At any rate, after the caucus bad adjourned, two or three of them got together and fixed up a straight-out Democratic ticket, and had tickets printed bright and early yestorday morning, and stuck togeth er as ouly Demociats can for we must give them this credit for the election of their ticket. Excitement ran rather high during the day, but all passed off pleasantly, aud no blows were thought of. Time and spaco will uot permit us giviug the votes receiv ed by each candidate, so we will mere ly give the names of thoso elected : Burges3 J. A. Dale. Town Council Q. W. Robinson, T. J.

A bill, increasing the 'bounty on red foxc to one dollar, and makiug the bounty on grey ' foxes fifty cents, has passed tho lower house of the Legislature. We suppose as soon as Reynard learns of the action of the Legislature in this matter be will va moose the country and go to climes more cougenial to his scalp ; and small game, pheasants, rabbits, Ac, will roam our forests, monarchs of all ihey survey, with none to molest or muke afraid. Then can tho frisky ground hog come firth to gaze upon his shad ow without entailing upon us a six- week's winter; and the innocent lamb shall gambol upon the village grceu without fear of being kidnapped by bis foxsbip. The lusty chanticleer will send forth .lis notes with greater eclat than ever; and then shall the old grey goose smilo on tho gander, and join him in singing praises to Jake Kepler the prime mover in this grand scheme. Valentino day in this place was thoroughly enjoyed by some, and not so thoroughly by others, .The, post office was drained of l et. stVmpj, and as far as we can learn "uo guilty mau escaped, or was slighted. . Some were "touched," aud to avengo themselves hurled uucompliiuentary remarks at every one .'hum they thought might have had something tj do with tl) sending of them ; consequently many a' poor innocent cuss had to sutler for another's mischief, our honest friend D. F. Robinson was among these. To say the least it ia a cowardly' way of showing ouo s dislike for another, and shows envy instead. However a great many hearty laughs wero indulged iu by tho majority of our populace, and especially the juveifilts. A petition for raioirg a militia company is being quite numerously signed by our citizens. About forty have already enlisted, among t!y;m quite a uumber of "old soldiers." This is what wo like lo see, because we have often wondered why Tionesta couldn't just as well have au orgauizatiou of this kind as any other town, as we have the material among uj to make as good a company as can be furnished iu the State, and if the right spirit is bhown we will Imve it. We hope lo see the cempaey painding our trct uext summer in full uniform. Landis, the murderer of Curruth, of Vincland, N. J., has been acquitted on tbe-groutids of insanity.

The convention of general rail road ticket ngenU of America began Us sesiiou at Louisville, Wednesday, having been called together to adopt rates to be charged during the centen nial year. Nearly all the principal roads in America were represented.

We must say tbat this reduction of fare would bo htujo, and would probably enable every millionaire in tbo country to attend the Cuiteunial.
