by the fleets of idle ships which assemble
there looking for freight, at very low
figures, in the various ports of the United
States. They usually come hither in
ballast, which consists pf earth soil . or
sand or gravel obtained from the Vicinage
of cities or towns, and there is good reason
to believe that it is in many instances
poisonect with municipal filth coming from
the drains, middens and cesspool- of the

out the obvious dangers ot this as a source
of infection. In the City of Savannah the

traced beyond all reasonable doubts as to

- By reference to our advertising columns
it will be seen that there has been a change
in the schedule on this road, which was
rendered necessary by acharjge having been
made in the schedule of the G. & C. &
W. C. & A. Railroads, with which the

anxious or inclined to a trip to the moun
tains we can recommend a trip by this
route to be by far the most preferable
of any route leading from "this city.
