Oar Charleston. Correspondence. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT] CHARLESTON, S. C. August 12th, 1871. The spur given by the triumph of Conservatism over Radicalism in our late Municipal contest, seems to have infused new life,'spirit and energy into every one ?ho is at all alive to the in? terest of reform, decency aod progress, and to have placed al! departments, whether of industry, of trade and com? merce, of social and moral Mic, or of financial supply, on the broad road to prosperity, contentment and happiness. Every mail which now arrives in charles ton, comes freighted with letters and papers that are burthened with con? gratulations and rejoicings in honor of our signal victory. The press of our own State, that also throughout the entire South, and even that ot the North, embracing quite a number of Republican journals, applaud our overwhelming tiiumph, and write strongly, en? couragingly and inspiritingly concerning it. Ourstauech ship, "good government" is now swinging at anchor in a Harbor of entire repose, but at the end of thc next uinety days, having been furnished with a skillful commander to guide and control her, a noble crew to mann her, ami sails trimmed for service that will tell, she will then go forth on her mission, a drawback to those only who, coming a3 adventurers into a peaceable law loving and law abiding community, . have unblushingly fattened and ag? grandized themselves against all that is right, honest, intelligent and decent. "With every business pursuit in Charles ton, her large grocery trade, although now somewhat stagnant, is already be? ginning to feel the effect, and reap some of the fruits of the recent change in our p>!itica! status. Add to thia the pros? pect of fair crops and fair prices for the same-increased banking facilities that will cnabie us thc more readily to move those crops-the fact that planters have been forced to work on their own re? sources to raise them-our daily im? proving facilities for receiving the grain and meat of the west at low prices-thc restoration of coufiJence generally-a net work of iron highways and a fleet of noble steamships stretching out and sailing in every direction from our commercial metropolis, and the future of Cl arleston, and indeed that of the State also, seems to wear an aspect for increased brightocss and eLcouragement near at haud, as hopeful as it is cheerful. Where in our heavy grocery marts, we see such staunch and leadi?g houses as Rollman Brothers, H. Bischoff & Co., B. O'Neill, Geo. W. Williams & Co., J. N. Robson and others of equal note, making preparations looking to a sea?on j of unusual prosperity the coming wiutcr, wc may set it down as a positive certain? ty, that they are cognizant of facts, and possess evidences influencing their movcigeuts, which are of no ordinary significance. Mr. J. N. Robson whom I Lave just meutioned, and who, every inch of him is a type of the true mer? chant, has withit. a day or two past re? turned fr.nu au extensive tour on busi ness in the western and middle States, and brios* us tidings calculated to pro v ko the niostbouyant hopes and ex pectations of a.steady and prosperous inc. case of business relations with those sections of t.ur lund. He has recently moved into his fine and couiandious vtt re otj East Bay, nearly opposite thc office o' the Charleston Courier, and docs strictly a commission bu.siue*s-a heavy traJ? principally in Groceries, Flour, .Meat, ic. Being manufacturers' agent at this puir,t, for commodities from ali parts of thc United States, he is rlierct'ore enabled always and on the shortest notice, to offer a well assorted and choice stock ou v?*ry desirable terms. He is sole agent also fur this State of the Maryland Sugar Refineries, Da Pouts Powder Mills, and the Pacific <?uano Company, besides being agent f ir i'lo'ir, Lard, Soup, Starch, Crackers, .Jagging, Twine aud other articles in thc grocery line, consignments of which lie i> constantly receiving direct from the manufactories themselves and which of coarse are always fresh and warranted lo bc superior. Our jabbers and wholesale dealers in Ilaytie, Meeting & King Streets also, Louyant with high hones aud bright ?ut ici pat ions for the future, are now displaying and daily adding to their supplies for the Fall and Winter Trade approaching, goods, which for variety, quality, reasonableness in price, and the tennson which they eau be sold, give Charleston a market perhaps not ex? celled, if, indeed, taking many favoring circumstances intu consideration, oau evil be nearly equalled by any other bu?i?e?3 mart in thc Southern Country.

SILBERT.EDIT EDITORIAL, CORRESPONDENCE, STEAMSHIP SOUTH CAROLIN. Orr LONG BRANCH. Avg. ll. Dear Watchman ;-Moving along ll knots to the hoar, on a smooth se jour cheek fanned bj a refreshii breeze, and scarcely "motion" enough more the water in a'glass, with tl thermometer somewhere down towal seventy, is a "situation" calculated excite commiseration for those who e: perience the sweltering days of Augui at Sumter. I sailed from Charleston, Wednesda morning last, at 101 o'clock-precisei the time advertised-OD this nob) steamer, and in company with one of th accomplished agents of this line, and hi interesting family, and a circle c educated and refined ladies and ge nth men, from Charleston, Macon,and othe points. The voyage, now nearing its close has been charming-auspicious weathe ! -luxurious comfort-freedom from sea sickness, and agreeable company, al combining to that end. The ".'outh Carolina," in siz* an? appointments, was a most agr?eabl surprise. We are accustomed to hea so much about Charleston, that h dis paraging to its business prospects, tba . we were not prepared to step aboard i magnificent Iron Ocean Steamship nearly three hundred feet long, ?(>? oolj boasting of the capacity of twenty fiv< hundred bales of cotton, but examining the custom house statistics, to fio i tha last winter she took away, with her Iroi sister yhip--the ''Georgia"-about tei thousand bales a month, besides rice naval store?, &c. tVhen these figure, are named, in comparison with expor figures of ante helium steamers, thes< splendid specimens of new fashioned resscls, carry as much cotton in a nonti as al! the half dozen New York steamer! used to carry iu those boastful days oi big things. And we ought to add tba) there are four other New York steamers, besides the "South Carolina" and ' Geor gia," which altogether keep np a con? nexion every other day with the great metropolis and "old Charleston by the sea." * But we are not content with a brief reference to the increasing usefulness of this rrreat steam enterprise, wi ich is attracting so much business to Charles? ton-au enterprise wisely conceived and bravely and most successfully carried oat, and to which may he fairly attribu? ted the credit of having been the principal means of increasing the cotton receipts of Charleston, one hundred thou? sand bales, daring the year pow drawing to a close. And besides all this, we ought to say, that in Charleston, as well as in the intorior, the "Iron Line" is known and appreciated as the Maoeomraoq<ation Liue." All who have business inter course with its Charleston Agents go away satisfied, with the real off-hand Carolina style in which they are met and treated. I give, with much pleasure, an im? perfect description of this noble steam? ship's passenger accommodations : And first of all, the state-rooms arealton derk The ceilings are lofty-the win? dows high, overlooking old Neptune, and ianoed by the fresh and crisp breezes ot'the broad Atlantic, one would be disposed to spend the whole voyage in his luxurious berth but that there is such a person aboard as the "steward," whose cuisine render iio effort necessary to reach the table*, spread and tilled up with alf soffV ot good thirfgs. Such breakfasts ! ! Such dinners!!! And such a grand saloon ! ! ! Why, anybody who ain't satisfied ought to go into exile, where no one with I>elmouieo's ways could ever reach him. You can get a cop of pant cuffee at 6 o'clock-break? fast at 8-soup and lunch at 12-dinner (full Fifth Avenue Hotel coarse) at 2:30-supper at C, and if the aalt air provoke an appetite at 10 p. m., there isa senatoria! locking per.-od,-with a digtbigue beard and moustache, who rt spoccs, witfi uy unintelligible language,' and you go ?o bed sereba and -happy, and dream that the uIroe Liue" pays 50 per cent, a year, and that yua are une of the lucky stockholders. I venture the opinion that very few interior residents are aware of tho great ooiui'ort, elegance and style enjoyed on board the "Sooth Carolina ;" and yet I am told that the "Georgia" ia larger und LU ore luxurious io Cabio appoint men ts. So uiuou **>, that a Georgian, from one of the rp ral districts, attracted by the name, presented -himself at the gang way and asked permission to look through tlievetaeL His rebut?t bei og grunted, ho said Ut (he captain; "Look 'ar stranger, this boat 'er ia uauicd after wy State; and I want te tell y?u u e o r g y is a big S t a t . , , and will go agin Graut and the Usda one hundred aud twenty thuusand Bett elco- 1 lion, t>a th? new?departure woolly-bead- ' detuu'-istio-platforo., iud if this 'ero ' ?'nip ala tap (o tho Georgy standard- , by-you inttBt take down, ?hat'era ? liga," V The visitor from the great Emp State, went the roanda of the Jeviatbi waa shown state-rooms in pink and bi upholstery, smoking rooms, prom oades, &c, and after a protracted i speotiou, without a word spoken he * proceeding to go ashore, when t captain remarked : "Well, sir, how do yon like ber ?" "Like her I" said the Georgia "why she's seventeen pnm kins on one vine - by- ! I want yon to do jast one thing for m Take down that 'ere sign and put 1 one with "Georgia" in bigge 1 e M ers." The "South Carolina" is command? by J. T. BECKETT, a modest, accou plished gentleman, full of those qui amenities and courtesies so grateful passengers, a thorough master of h ship, and intimately acquainted wit his route. * The purser, Mr. 0. P. JACKSON is gentleman of like fitness and accorc plisments, contributing no small quoi to the social enjoyment, care and i: formation of his guests. On the "South Carolina's" passenge list is embraced a considerable Rudie: "ring." But these follow well th principles of "birds of a feother." The talk together, eat together, and pla "poker" together, a game so popular ti Columbia, during the sitting of th Legislature, and of which "Uncle Jc Crews," ot the "steel pen coat" is ? shining an exemplar. The two most noticeable persons aboarc outside the "Bads," were first, a portl Ethiopian female ot a religious tur of mind, whose state room door-waj always ajar and balanced on a stool, thi devout person, was deep in the myste fies of a large typed testament an assuming her minimium weight a 240 net) it was a subject of curiou inquiry, how she succeeded hour afte hour, in preserving the position of he spectacles on an unusually fiat nos and the position of her portly self o an ordinary stool. The scene woul have been impressive on account of it devotional features, if the situaiioi and surroundings had not been Indi crous. Thc other party was apparently a prdmi neut Mongolian traveller, so high up ii the social circles of the celestial empire that he would not eat within ten fee of anyone. His name as given to mi is Pok-wi-aug tow-Bose man, M. D. said to be a highly educated physiciai and politician', he dresses with scrupu loos neatness and evidently wished fo some congenial companion-but al thongh reported as having sr .t SOON time with the "Rads" in *" umbia las session, and quite familiar ashore witt certain Charleston Radical officials, ht cut them all short on board, and even the exciting game, which has mad? his countrymen famous by Bret Hart'; poetry-failed to break the reserve ol the so called "Heathen Chinee"-nol being posted in the primary customs ol celestial etiquette, we were constrained to forego making his acquaintance. A. A G. j- ??I'.L' [From the Chicago Republican.] TUB NATHAN TXCBDEK. Th? Ne-W York Times Story Prc li o a nead Sen aa i Ion. The Republican printed an Associated Press telegram from New York which set forth that the Times of that city would, in its next issue, publish au socount of the pursuit of Forrester, the supposed murderer of Nathan, by Detective Pinkertoa. The Nathan murder has come to be looked upon by every one as the most profound mystery io the annals of orimc. Any statements which tend to throw LIGHT ON THE DABKNES8, which surrounds the deed are eagerly watched for by thc reading public, and, generally speaking, the more sensational they are the more credence do they receive. Yesterday's dispatch was an example of this, lt wv tbe*subject of a great deal of speouiatiou among di otc who had kept themselves posted on tbc facta which were developed in connection with the commission of the terrible crime. Every person who read it won? dered if Pinkerton would sucoeed in his enterprise, bot scarcely any one stopped to enquire if the great crime detector was really in pursuit of the great criminal To satisfy public curiosity on thc question, a reporter of this paper call ed at Mr. Pinkerton's office yesterday ne wa* met by Air. William Pinkerton, who divined tho cause of his errand al oaoe, and settled himself io a seat to an*wt>r questions. Io the first place, he denied the rumor, aod then proceeded to explain what connection tho Pinkerton Detective Agency had with Forrester. Allen Pinkerton weot to Europe last Ootober for hu health, and did not return until March. He koew nothing whatever of the Kelso proclamation ?oti) he arrived home? as ll wat issued late ia the month of February. Neither Mr. Pinkerton nor any of his detective* sver pursuod Forrester for THE NATHAN MURDER. Once, when Ive escaped from the Jolitt Penitentiary, bo was followed and captured by Mr. William Pinkerton, md placed in confinement again, bat ha e footed his oca pe three weeks after! Ho owes his State fourteen years bard labor, ead it is for that aod a robbery at Wi Ike* barra, Pennslyvania, that the Pinkerton deteotives are anxious to get hold of him. The only ooon?ctloo (hoy ?rei* had with Superintendent Kelso was rO aeod bim a picture of Forrester, and i request that be should he tent on to his Stats if the murder could not be proved against'h.fai lo far as the article io -the Times ia joaeeraed the Manager of th? Pinkerton igeuoy ic' New York telegraphed to his fttf h?re, yesterday, that he called \ rjpoV tht editora of that paper on Wednesday arght and warned them that there waa po troth whatever in thearticle. Th ev, however, persisted j in p?bHshing "ft. THE NORTH CAROLINA. ELECTION - - NO ?AJWCAL T?IUM*??--| . . ~ ? Vf Oor cotemporary of the Angosta, Chronicle and Sentinel thu*- trathfairy-j explains the import of the recent North Carolina election. The interpretation thus given we regard just and accurate : "The North Carolina D?mocratie journals seem to concede that the State bas gone against convention by a majo? rity ranging from 5,000 to 15,006 votes -the lowest estimate being, probably, the most -correct. Although the cali for a oonvention was defeated; . aad although the Republican papers North aod South are crowing lustily thereat, it is an absurdity to term the result? Radi, ca! victory. Tbe election in North Carolina laat year-when every advan? tage was with the radicals-demonstrated very- plainly that the Democrats had a large Wording majority io tho State. If they were defeated io the late campaign; it waa not their enemies, but a wing of theis own foree, which caused the disaster. 'I he constitution adopted in 1868, under the reconstruction laws, declared that a convention should not be called to amend it nntil after ten years had. elapsed. The Democratic Legislature chosen last August voted in favor of assembling a convention without regardiog this provision. The action frightened all the timid men in the party, who were afraid of another reconstruction in case the movement proved successful. In this belief they were strengthened fly the radical journals of tbe State and of the wh??e country. The administration also interfered for the purpose of encouraging ttt?s idea. The Attorney General of the United States stumped North ' Carolina tn the interest of the Radicals, and boldly proclaimed that if the Democrat were successful-iF a new constitution was framed and officers elected under it there would be two Slate . governments for Congress to choosc^between, and lett tbe imprcs?ion that the old government would be the one sustained. Under I these circumstances a large number of j Democrats who were anxious for quiet, and afraid of Congressional interference, voted against convention, and thus the day was lost."
