AND WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE PRINCIPAL HOTELS, With a large variety of valuable information, collected, compiled and arranged BY J. C. SWAYZE. GRIFFIN, GEORGIA: HILL & SWAYZE, Publishers, and for sale by all Booksellers in the Confederacy. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by HILL & SWAYZE, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Northern District of the State of Georgia. COMPARATIVE TIME-TABLE,

Showing the Time at the Principal Cities of the Confederate States, compared with Noon at Richmond, Va.

There is no “Standard Rail-Road time” in the Confederate States, but each rail-road company adopts independently the time of its own locality, or of that place at which its principal office is situated. The inconvenience of such a system, if it can be called, must be apparent to all, but is most annoying to persons strangers to the fact. From this cause, many miscalculations and misconnections have arisen, which not unfrequently have been of serious consequence to individuals, and have, as a matter of course, brought into disrepute all Rail-road Guides, which of necessity give the local times. In order to relieve, in some degree, this anomaly in American rail-roading, we present the following table of local time, compared with that of Richmond, Va:

Atlanta, Ga. . . . .11 30 A. M. Augusta, Ga. . . . .11 43 A. M. Beaufort, S. C. . . . .11 49 A. M. Charleston, S. C. . . . .11 51 A. M. Columbia, S. C. . . . .11 44 A. M.

This Directory will contain none but the best Hotels in each city— those that the traveler may feel assured are worthy of the public patronage. Also, Houses on the roads where trains stop for meals.

There is now no house in Chattanooga that we should care to dignify with the appellation of Hotel, they all having been pressed into the service as hospitals. The city is nothing more nor less than a vast military hospital. A soldier coming down from there on the train the other night, gave a very fair idea of the attractiveness of the place in the following manner. Several were speaking of the lack of accommodation there, when he remarked:

“Well, if I were to be sent to h—l, and had five days furlough to stop in Chattanooga, I should say, drive on boys!”

MARIETTA HOTEL.—Opposite the Public Square, a fine house, W. A. Cureton, Proprietor. FLETCHER HOUSE.—Joining the Passenger Depot, Fletcher & White, Proprietors. Meridian, Miss.
