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 :

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

afraid. Then can tho frisky ground
hog come firth to gaze upon his shad

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

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

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

roads in America were represented.
It is thought a reduction of 23 per
cent, from tho regular rates will be
made. , If the railroad companies
aiu't eareful they will, by their gem-rosily,
be bu'sted. We must say tbat
this reduction of fare would bo htujo,
and would probably enable every
millionaire in tbo country to attend
