The streets alternate broad and nar- row and have great arching rows of live oaks their full length. Bull street widens into a public square every second block, and opens into Forsythe park, where tall pines, live oaks, magnolias and smaller trees and plants are naturally mingled in semi-tropical luxury. along this street are four fine monuments— to Gen. Nathaniel Green, Gen. Gor- don, Pulaski: and the Confederate dead. The buildings are mostly old; fine tor their day but behind this age. Withal, Savannah does a large business and is second as a cotton port to New Orleans only. Jacksonville, Fla., has now per- haps 20,000 people. It is quite a commercial place; streets of sand: buildings mostly new and some quite fine. The St. Johns river is brack- ish, although tventy-five miles from the ocean. It is a noble stream. This 1s a great winter resort, and hotels thrive. Three of them have the sand. Spanish regime. reach. Chattanooga, too, has about 30,- ooo people, but 1s not growing as fast as its rival. Still it is making rapid strides forward. Real estate is high but within the bounds of rea- son, The adjacent country is per- haps better than in the case of Bir- mingham, but not excellent. Here, too, are great iron industries ; beside, there are manufactories ot many kinds common to great cities, and the especial advantage of river facil- ities, the Tennessee being navigable here and much further up. Many important railroads centers here, and others are being built. Of the two cities Chattanooga will surely make the larger. It’s future is most bright.
