DficUl Paper ef Beaufort County, M ii in .1 If Savannah it such a healthy port for lhippinf, why is it required of masters of Vessels to lodge their crews on shore, and votnpel hrtn to place a hoat keeper on hi> Vessel to take charge of the same during the rammer months. How would thus suit the navy? Probably this is a mendacious insinuation. i^i Frkmax, Burkmeyer, Gailliard, Pnnma Green, and all the luminaries of the Independent Republican party, are oooly informed by the Netcn ami G*trier that they are no earthly use individually to thrt lff>mru>rsl!p r?i? mncorrt. tire party of Charleston County. Commodore Ammen, says the fresh water bails of the 44 Dictator " for six months hare been $4,534.18. We hare examined duplicate account* and find that the contract r only charged for the first six months, $1,752.50, and for the last six months on account of a reduction In price, the bill will be only a little orer $1,000. There must hare been . a mistake made somewhere. A correspondent of the Angutta Sentinel Seecihes the attitude of the South Carolina dem-cracy as tollows : 4* We find ex-Governor l'erry doing all he can to carry the mountain Democracy for Chamberlain, and the Xeict ami Courier pouriog hot shot into every Dewoeratie club that refuses to endorse his coarse, while the Edgefield, Anderson, Union and Lancaster Democrats declare war against compromise men and meas* urea. " The Ajax, is reported by the Tribune to hare small-pox on board. This is not so. There was a case on beard at Key West, but the man was removed on shore; the vessel disinfected, and no other case ha* occurred. Wc make this statement on authority of the health officer, Dr. Thompson. Congressman Smalls, has introduced a joint resolution to provide for the re* demption and sale of school farm lands in South Carolina. These lands were forfeited to the United States for' non payment of direct taxes, and were reserved by the Direct Tax Commissioners for school purposes and in the majority of eases were the most valuable of the lands thus secured by the government. They were not offered for sale, nor was the right of redemption extended to the orig inal owners. All the other property has - either been sold or redeemed, and although these lands were set apart for a purpose that governments ought to make a peculiar object of their fostering care, yet it worked an injustice to those owne s who in consequence of this reservation were cut off from that equity extended to others whose lands were forfeited for a similar default Id the present condition of these school farms scarcely any revenue is derived for educational purpose. and Congress would better subserve the interest of those for whose benefit the.?e lands were re-en*?d, by having them sold or redeemed. A Preposterous and Malicious Insinuation.' "The Port Royal Commercial says: How would the officers and men of the lieet like to drink Savannah river water ? Dysentery and malarial fever r ecoction at only the oost of dipping it up with a bucket A naval station on the Savannah river would be the meaus of establishing A new national cemetery."^ "TTio writer of thus brilliant paragraph, -unless he can be excused on the reorc of woeful ignorance, can never aspire to b.iug considered a liberal dispenser of the truth. The absurdity of this uncalled for assertion is so apparent that it scarcely is nt notice. As. however, a few strangers may, without reflecting upon its tmriMaa, be erroneously improved, we would cite the fact that Savaunah, con reded to be one of the healthiest communities in this country use* the river water almost exclusively for drinking purposes. The mortuary reports are indi putabio proof of the utter falsity of this mendacious insinuation.?Savannah Xeics. How do you use Savannah river water? Is it not takcu from the river ten mile> above the city of Savauuah aud by a pro-; cess of filteratioo rendered innoxious? The j water proposed by the Maoon Telegraph ' f nd endorsed by the Xnos was such as , could be dipped out of the nver at no expense to the government, and this was; urged as a reason for removal of the fleet; from Port Royal to Savannah. That dysentery, malarious and typhoid f fevers do arise from the use of such water, there is not a physioiau in that city ' will deny. We therefore plead not guil- j ty, of the charge of ' woeful ignorance,M; or of circulating ' mendacious iusiuua- j tkms." i j i In course of conversation with a rc- . porter. Senator T.

This point has IS feet , | of water, fresh at all times, within easy j communicating distance of the station at | Port Uoyal. j PORT ROYAL A NATAL STATION, j J Port R*yal aid Savannah Compared. ' | Nine reason* In favor of Savannah 1 Explained. Commodore Annien Mis| taken. I , | We copy from the Savannah Nrtc* ! nine reasons of Commodore Ammcn, i chief Burean Navigation, in favor of Sav| annah, which are the-strongest reason* [ why the fleet should not go to Savannah when compared with facts, and advantages offered at Poi t P.oyal. First " The depib of water on the Saranmh rir, or bar is MiOkint. " ! The depth of water on Savannah river bar is not sufficient. According to the , V. S. Coast survey about eighteen feet of water is found. No first class vessel can enter ever the bar, and but few second class could pass over with safety. At Port Royal the largest vessel that floats ; can find a safe aud easy cutrancc at all I tides. Second?The second reason is not pub fished therefore ii is fair to presume it w;.8 me of the objections to Savannah. "Third. Pure fresh water is found at all seasons of the year at tha bead of Klba bland, or a distance of about ten mi lei from tha entrance of the river, and several miles lower down daring a considerable part of the year. This would not only be of great advantage and onorny for drinking uppiy, but also lo preventing .-u*t tod the accumulation of barnacles and other animal aad rcge ahlo growths on the boUonu of I two raaaala. This con* dition is of marked contrast lo Port Royal. The | fre?h water bill* of the * Dktator " for six months ' amount to $1,531 IS, at the rate of $9.16# 87 yearly. With the force now making rendezvous at Port Rojrai, the coat for drinking water will be not lea,, than |IOA,OUO yearly. The vegetable and animal I growth in Port Royal harbor on the bottoms of iron vessels is surprisingly great. " Purer water is found at the Club House Spring at. all seasons; free from the impurities of over flow and drainage of the rice swamps, and city sewage, mud and vegetable matter that the water of the Savannah river oontains at the head of Elba Island. The expense of purifying Savannah river water would be as great as " condoning from salt water. "' The fresh water bills of the "Dictator " will not, at present price, amount to much more than $1,000.00 for six month*, less moj.e thau it will take to make Savannah river water suitable for naval purposes. Fourth. Th* sufficiency of fortifications of th?* Savannah river and the fnsuftciency, or rather absence, of (hem at Port Royal. Tybee is an open road-stead three miles below Fort Pulaski, and t.onld not in case of necessity, have the protection of " sand forts," which were effectively used at Port Royal during the war. Fifth. The facilities for obtaining repairs and *upplie?of all kindaat reasonable rates, and if de ired, directly from the North by steamers. Savannah offer* no facilities that would h* .sufficient for obtaining repairs, as few or none of the veseels could be dry docked I at Savannah. Supplies Ac. at more le sonabl prices can be had direct from the North at Port Royal by a steamship line n >w established, because freight and othei charges are less at Port Royal than at Savannah. Beaufort, PortJRoyal, Char leston, Augusta, and even Savannah are within easy distance. " tilth. The facility of hauling up or putting vessels into dry dock for repair*, and of sufficient Oipncity for ail classes of vessels usual in those waters. and at no greater cost than Northern port?. The sixth reason is absurd. If Savant ah bad the dry docks sufficient foi repairs, they would be useless for want of water to float the ships of the Navy. " Seventh. Should the yellow fever become epl domic at Savannah, or in those waters, which is of rare occurrence, the proximity to Tort Royal, Warsaw. and otl er sounds and ports less frequented, to which naval vessels could go. " The seventh reason is in favor of Port Royal. The fleet left the fine harbor of K-iy We t because of yellow fever, and a e now anchored !n a harbor free from such epidemics. 44 Eigh:h. The proximity of an agreeable cultivated society, a preventive of low dissipation to the per.ionnrl, though affording nceoessary recresrion and maintaining the morale, so neccesaary to effectiveness. , The eighth reason is applicable to Port Royal and Beaufort. Savannah enjoys no advances in this paiticular over this section. Ninth. Should the War Department allow the i use of the wharf on Cvckspur Island, and the erection of sheds for coal and other auppiiea, or if found convenient, to temporarily turn over Fort Pulask'e 1 to the navy with sheda, storehouses, etc., tlie sup. | I plies of coal provisions and other store# would bo far safer fr<>tu depredation or injury than would be t ie case at Port Royal, without a considerable fx- ' penditurc, and would be landed and taken on t i beard at tmall coi?t and with great facillt v. | The ninth reason, is impracticable. j No vessel of tho navy could lay at the j wharf at Fort t ulaski. The sheds and storehouses are use! by the Army and it { i> unlikely that the Government would , abandoned its only fortification for a store house f r Naval purposes. The stores. ( coal ard supplies would be as gife a" , Port Royal as anywhere in the United j | States. Coal can be had at Port Royal i, cheaper than at the North. j For adepot of supplies, aa above shown, tho wa- j , tera of Savannah river have special a vantage*. | A peraonal knowledge of the localities mentioned ' enable* me to give an expression of opinion such as ! 1 would not he possible otherwise. , ) Commodore Aiumcn shows a lack ofii 44 personal knowledge "of the locality, or J i else he has discovered how a" twenty four j i foot draudit vessel can swiug in i t cventcen feet of water.

Prepare your Bag and Scrip. Foreign Visitor*. To the uninitiated eye the Centennial grounds just now presei t an appearance of " confusion woiac confounded, " that seems to promise anything but a speedy completion ot the great work ot receiving and arranging the immense number of exhibits which arc daily atriving and are yet to ar?Tl,;. AAn(n^mn knmvar ia nnlv live. illlO bi/uiusivu HUT. v. v. iu apparent, and is merely the result of the gathering of such a large number of busy men within a comparatively limited ?pace. The nwt admirable order prevails in all departments, and their ponderous machinery moves along without the least interference, smoothly and easily, thanks to the " lubricating" system which prevails. The only danger that everything will not the prepared for the reception of visitors by the 10th of May arises from the short comings of exhibi tors. The Massachusetts commissioners in view of the great anxiety that is felt by the Centennial authorities at the delay of exhibitors' iu forwarding goods, have is1 sued a circular, which states that accorcording to eatimate, about six thousand car loads are to be entered, most of which from present'appearances, will be forward I ed witbin the last ten days before th* 19th of April, which is positively the last day of entry. This is at the j rate of one car load per minute for the ten working hours of each day, and is therefore an impossibility but the effort to accomplish it will lead t<> blocks on the roads, followed by long delays to exhibitors, and to hurry, confusion and breakage. The branch tracks upon which exhibits are conveyed into thtgrounds from the mair line of the 1\ n isylvania railroad are covered with freight care, about fifty of which arri ve daily.' Manv of them hare upon their sliding doors sheets of muslin, bearing injhugc black letters "1776?-International Exhibition?1876." This mystical and pa triotic inscription is supposed to have awakened in the breasts of rural gazers an intense desire to make a patriot!* pilgrimage next summer to the. temporary Mecca, towards which all loyal and curious souls should turn their thoughtand their footsteps, provided i f they are wise with bag and a goodly supply of scrip. That our foreigu friends do not intend to let slip this opportunity of visiting Brother Jonathan in his own house and observing and criticising his ways i.shown by the extent to which first cabin passages westward on the principal steamship lines have been already enen ged. Cook Son and Jenkins the gieat Eigi-h and Continental tourist Agt. have ' booked " a large number of persons in English Scotland and Ireland alone. This does not include of course the great number who willVome on their own hook or the large excursions which are expec ted from the continent. The Italians of this city are making arrangements for the reception of the Cristoforo Colombo Society of Genoe, who 700 strong; have chartered five steamers and are to turn their prows to the westward like their great fellow-townsman, and visit the wonderful land discoverd by him not four ( hundred years ago. The excursiouisfs < will arrive about the 1st of July, and exptct to make an extended tour, visit 1 ng all the large cities and points of in- ' terest from Maine to California. The interior of the Main Exhibition Building is undergoing a rapid trausfor- 1 [nation, owing to the structures which ' the different nations are erecting to con- 1 tain the articles of their exhipitors. A 1 sity, of varied and picturesque architec- j 1 lire, has sprung into existence, as if at the command of an Aladdan. Towers pavilions, cathedrals, wigwams, castles, j * alhambras, temples, with a maze of 1 streets through which the visitor wanlers, and wonders whether be is in the J 1 museum of some virtuoso in architecture, j ( )r as he stands at the door, and catches a I? glimpse of the interior by peeping overjl he bead or under the arm of the im- | ! novablc guard, he seems to be looking j I nto an architectural kaleidoscope. The 1 <tructure erected by the Egyptian Com- ( nission attracts considerable attention, j I [t is a pavilion about two hundred feet , ( ong. and fifty feet wide, and represents i J in Egyptian temple. It encloses the I ntire section appropriated to Egypt. It fc s severely simple in style, there being'1 ( lothing eleboratc input it, and in this ! f e*l>ctt it form- a u.tikel untiast to its I ancifu! right-hand neighbor, the Span- ^ f eh * 1 II I '-.C-rn- ftMWMW-S t'.iH. in it j ;.s . in n: each c :-:V1 Nil i oo ii. . : i^rainitis inclined inward. Guarding the entrance are two circular column of the fame height as the towers. The sides and rear of the j structure are perfectly plain, and about I eight feet in height, curving outward at the upj>er edge to give finish. The Spanish pavilion in Agricultural j Hall will be in gothic style, and its di- j luension about one hundred by twenty* j five feet. The main entrance will consist j of a uiagnificient gothic arch, surmount- j ed by a large trophy, exhibit tig flags and standards in the Spanish colors. Thr sides aud rear will consist of arches representing the provinces of Spain, with the respective eoats-of-arms. Spain has taken the lead in the Main Buildings, so far as sectional structures arc concerned, and she will probably do the same here., The State building's form a pretty good row by this time, and a e in all stages of completion from those that, are ready for occupation to the Pennsylvania buildings, for which the appropraiton of $40,000 was made a few days ago. The.Women's Pav.lion is receiving the finishing touches externally, and looks as if it wonld do withont much prinking. The ladies rais ed over $8,000 by the "authors, carnival' which they held in this city last monthi and they display a great deal of taste, as is to be exj ectcd, and of business ability* which is not so much expected, in carrying out their plans. The Japanese Building is apparaDtly finished so far as the outside is concerned, but as no white barbariau has penetrated those picturesque walls, as yet, no one knows what.the condition of the interior is. There are no windows except one or two on the first floor which are covered with paper. Instead they use sliding panuels which can be pushed into a box in the corner of the house, thus enabling both stories to be thrown almost entirely open with the exception of a slight railing, not a bad sort of arrangment for warm weather and one which might furnish an idea to some of our seaside architects.
