Population of Savannah.—The census of the population of our City in August last was taken by the Board of Health.—There were 3434 whites and 4338 colored persons; total 7772. Of the whites 1681 are ascertained to be males, 1653 females, and 100 returned without designation of sex or age. Of the colored persons 1700 are males, and 1454 are females, and 184 returned without designation of sex or age. Of the white males, 1002 are over 15 years of age, and of the white females 993 are over 15 years of age, and 655 under. Of the colored females, 924 are over 15 years of age, and 776 under. The above census was taken at a season when a large portion of our white population are absent, in search of business or pleasure. If we estimate the absentees at 1520, our resident population in winter may be set down at 9272. Transient persons, however, swell this population in winter to 10 or 11,000.—Georgian.
