When the people of this city i bowed, trembling under their recent dreadful calamity ; when thousands lied for safety ; when industry was paralyzed and cotnmeree suppressed ; when want, pestilence and death joined in their ghastly and .unsparing work ; when tenderness failed to soothe and skill to save ; when the strong grew weak and the timid quailed ; when the bntve were resigned and only the reckless defiant : Then came citizens and strangers, from far and near a nob'e band with ready hands, and willing hearts, came unsolicited, upon this scene of desola tion pain and woe, proffering their de voted service some sacrificing their lives to the needy, the sick, the Pilfer ing, and the dead. Then, too, from the North, the East, the Wist, rnd the .outli, even from beyond Sea, came an inpouring of bonefirtion, universal, and so lavish that, leaving no room for want, religion blesses and gratitude revere humanity so supreme : Thrrrforr-, ,V.' ;,'(., That the thanks of this Association and of its members individually, and irt the name of our gratelul people be, and ihev are hereby tendered toa!l those who, whether citi zens or stanirer, who gave their person al services in any capacity, and also to all thoso who, in Savannah, in the State of tieori'ia. elsewhere in the United St ites, and hi oihcr countries, contribu ted money or -iipli-. io th relief of the needy, K'k and sii:i. ring in the late epidemic i n this city.

A TVOMlKItFUL STORY OF TUB DKEP1 An Immense Sea Monster Captures and gwallows a Sperm Whale Captain Drewar, of the bark Pauline, of London, who has just arrived at Cork Irom a long voyage, favors the public with the following account of an ocean marvel: Bark Panline, July S, 1S75, latitude 5 deg. 13 min. North, longitude 35 deg. Wesl, Cape San Koquc, northeast coast of Brazil, distance twenty miles, at 11 a. m., the xeather fine and clear, wind and sea moderate, observed some black spots on the water, and a whitish, pillar some thirty feet high above them. At the first sight I took all to be break ers, as the sea was splashing up fountain-like above them, and the pillar a pinnacle rock, bleached with the sun, but the pillar fell with a? splash and a similar one rose. They rose and fell alternately io quick succession, and good glasses showed me it was a mon ster sea serpent coiled twice round a large sperm whale. The; Head and tail part, each about thirty feet long, were acting as levers, twisting itself and its victim round with great velocity. They sank out of sight every two minutes, coming to the surface still revolving; and the struggles of the whale and two other whales that were! near, frantic with' excitement, made the sea in their vicinity like a boiling caldron; and a loud, confused noise was distinctly heard. This strange occurrence lasted some li.teeu niiuute. an 1 liuisbed with the tail portiou cf I lit i whale being elevated straight in the air, then wav ing backward and forwird, and lashing the water furiously in t)o- last death struggle, when the whole body elisap- ps-ared fr:m our vie w. going down head foronio: t" i lie bottom, where no doubt it was gorged at t..e m. rpr tit's leisure; and that ni' list. r o.' monsters may have . k. n mauy mouths in a state of coma, digesting the hiige mouthful. Tlii-n two ol the largii.U sperm whales that I have ever seen 'moved slowly the! ce toward the vesscJ, their bodies 'ii ir thin tiiual.y i ievated out of the water, and i.ot pouting ot miking the h ast noise, but seeming quite paralyzed with fear; indeed, a cold shiver went through my own frame beholding the last agonizing slrugg e of the oor whale that had teemed as helpless in the coils of the vicious . monster aa a bird in the talons of a hawk. AiUwing for two coils round the wiiah-, I think the serpent was about HJO or 170 feet long, and 7 or 8 feet iagirui. It was in color much like a conger eel ; and the head, irom tho mouth in ing always open, appeared the largest part of its body, il is curious that ihe wha:e, that lives on the smallest .'o il of any fish in the ocean, shotil i i s.-it be but a meal for another, monster ; lor I think it as feasible that the serpe i' swallow en I the whale us that the b a con-tric-tor can consume a whole tiu'.'i k. I wrote thus fsr little thii.knig I would ever s-re the ere'iit flgiin ; but at 7 a.m. July Pi, fu l tie same latitude and eighty miles Kst ot San lvoque, I was astonisded to see the name or a ? unilar monster. It wa ih-owinr its head and about forty feet of its body in a horizontal position out of the water as it passed onward by the stern ..four vessel.
