Health of Savannah.—The Republican of the 6th instant, says: We took occasion last week to congratulate our readers on the healthfulness of Savannah at this season.—This week we have a still more flattering account, as represented in the bill of mortality, and may safely challenge a comparison with that of any city of our population in the Union. The report of the Board of Health shows but eleven deaths for the week ending the 3d instant, and of these nine were children, the oldest but three years and four months; but two adults are reported. May we not, in view of such an exhibit, predict that the present summer will be as healthful as any Savannah ever enjoyed!
