We observe it stated in a late Savannah paper, that hardly a vestige whereby to trace the progress of the devouring element now remains. When we consider
that between 150 and 200 buildings were destroyed, and the unfavorable time last summer to replace these improvements, it must give a favorable impression as to the industry and perseverance of the inhabitants of this unfortunate city. As the buildings in Savannah were principally constructed of wood, it is hoped they have guarded against the like occurrences in substituting brick.
