Mills, &c. — There are no public mills, except a lum- 

 ber-mill at Brunswick. Three steam-engines are used on 

 rice plantations, on the Alatamaha, to thresh and pound rice; 

 and horse-gins for cleaning cotton are found on the principal 

 cotton plantations.

ANTiauiTiEs, — Indian mounds are of frequent occurrence; 

 but the most remarkable monument of that race is to be found

 remains of Oglethorpe's fortifications, and of the tabby-houses 

 erected by him.

 of low ground, which he planted with hops. He erected the 

 necessary buildings for a brewery, and supplied the regiment 

 with porter and beer. The Hon. Thomas Spalding has often 

 been assured, by persons who had drank these articles, that 

 they were as good as those made in England. He also planted 

 10,000 orange trees, running in extended avenues along the 

 island. A few of these trees were in full growth until 1835, 

 when they were killed by the frosts. When General Ogle-
