. . 9 . . . . Cha.rle*txm-*-I*rciei?t'Condition or the * City. A, correspond int of the Boston Ad? vertiser writes os follows from Charles? ton: YANKEES AN? SOUTHEBNEBS. ? It was noteil on the steamship by which I came ^here from New York* that, leaving out the foreign element, our passengers were from Charleston and from Massachusetts. We had nearly as many Boston men as Charleston men. One of thc Charles? ton merchants said to me that when he went North, the passengers were almost equally divided between Mas? sachusetts and South Cardinia, and he added that in Eastern Massachu? setts, where he spefti some days, lie found many men who were coming to Charleston. Of our Massachusetts men, some are . already in business here, and others came on to "see the lay of the land," as ?ne of them said. "That's all right," observed an ex rebel captain, in one Of our^aiter * duiner chats, "that's all right; let's have Massachusetts and South Caro? lina brought together, for they are the only two States that amount to anything." "I hate all yon. Yankees most- heartily, in a general' sort ol iray," remarked another o,f these Southerners, "but I find you clever x enough personally, and I expect it'll be a good thing for us to hav? you come down here with your money, * though it'll go against the grain with us pretty badly. " ' *. There are many Northern men here already-not much Northern so? ciety, for but few of the men have their wives here.' I took a long walk, yesterday, with a former Charles tonian-a man who had left here in the .first year of the war, and returned soon after our occupation of the city. "You Northern people," said he, "ari making a great mistake in your treat ment of. the South. Wo are tho roughly whipped; wo give up slaver) forever, and now we want you to qui reproaching us; let us back into th( Union, and then come down hero arii help us build up the country ant make the South what God intendec shoshould.be." And as we walked he pointed out and named the ' 'North ern houses"-branches of old house! . in Boston and New York, new housei built up and working by Northen capital and energy. On King street the street of retuil trade, in a distance of half ? dozen blocks, at least on??. ^ third the stores were classed by hin as "Northern,." and not a few of then bear names w&l known in Boston On Mooting street, where the whole ?sale trade congregates, in som blocks, almost every, house is new aud from the North. YANKEE "NOTIONS." Eveiy little variation from the ol order e&things excites the commer "Yankee notions,'" in which there i sometimes good-natured querulom ness, and sometimes a sharp spice < contempt.. Stopping a moment thj afternoon in a store where were thre or four intelligent msn, one of thei .asked me the use of the "fliing" Iha itf .jny hand. It was one of tb . handle-and-straps. so common, in tl North for carrying shawls, cloak overcoats, ?cc. Seeing that none < . them had any itlea what it was, I e: plained its uses. "Well, now, whi a Yanke*. notion !" '. 'Yes, " answere another, Vbut how handy it is." 1 '' hiing here the conveniences and cor forts of our Northern civilization, i less than to bring here the Northei ide? of right and wrong, justice ai injustice, humanity and inbumanit, is the work ready for the hand every New England man and wornt who stands waiting. There is mu? prejudice^t? overcome, and some it is bitter and aggravating; but tl measures of success won by Northei men already in the field, is an carne of the reward of others. Self-intere is a material agont in modern ;civiliz . tion. * BUSINESS. Business is reviving slowly, tl?ou| perliaps the more fully. The reside - merchants are mostly at the botto of tlje ladder of. prosperity. Th have idled away the summer in va regrets for vanished hopes, and mi of them are only just now beginni to wake to the new fife. Some ha alre?dy been North for goods, b more are preparing to go-not bee ing that while they Vacillate with li gard time, Northern men are sprii ing in with hands swift to cat opportunity. I queried ol thc i turning merchants on the steams! I how they were received in the Nor f An Augusta man complained that I could get no credit, and that th ? was a disposition to be grinding i k exacting. One. Charleston man st P "I asked for sixty days and go K without a word of objection." Anot B told me that he asked for four mont H was given three, and treated 1 fi gentleman everywhere. Anot \ showed me th? receipt for a debt of about fifteen hundred dollars con? tracted before the war, -which he had paid in full ; and he asked for foiir months ?n a bill of eight thousand dollars, which was readily giyen. ri till another settled his old indebted? ness with one-third cash and**eight and twelve mouths notes for the bal? ance, while he got ninety days on three-fourths of bis jnew bill. One man said he had many friends in the North, dhd y.ey all knew he had been a thorough rebel, he expected some taunts, but tried to carry'himself like a gentleman, and was courteously re? ceived, "even in Boston." These ure specimens of a score of answers I have j received to this question. Many of. the stores were more or I less injured by the shelling. A few of these have been already repaired. I and are now occupied-very likely by Northern men. Two dozen,, great and small, are now in process of re? pair, and seores stand with gaping doors and windows. Tl ie doubt as to tb,e title of the property and the wise caution of tho President in grant? ing pardons, unquestionably has something to do with the stagnation so painfully apparent, but very much of it is due to the hesitating shiftless-, .ness of even the Southern merdhant, who forever lets "I dare not" wait on "I would." " COOT) ORD12B. . The city is under thorough milvtary rula, but the iron hand? rests very lightly. Soldiers do police dntv, and. and there is some 9 o'clock regulation, but, so far as I can learn, anybody goes anywhere at all hours of the night without molestation*; "There never was such good order here lie fore," said an old colored mair to nie. Thc main street is s wept twice a weet, i and all garbage is rem ? v?d at sunrise. "If the Yankees were td stay here always and keep thc city so clean, I don't believe.we'd have 'yellow ja'fjk' here e.uy more," was a remark I over-, heard Oil the street. ' 'Now i* de fust time sence I can 'meuVer when brack j I men wasisaf? iu de street af or night- ' fall," stated the negro tailor in whose j shop I sa*- ;-.n hour yesterday. The -j military force POW in and immediately about the city consists of about eight hundred white and three hundred colored soldiers. The 55th Massa? chusetts have been stationed only a short distance away, but it is ut once going homo-two or three companies ?tarting to-morrow, I believe. There is strong hope among the oitizens that the Government will soon be. turned over to the civil authorities. I asked ! the negro tailor what would bo the I effect-"They'd begin to.kill de col or'd people in less as a week*,"' I think the control of the city may, ?however, soon be niven over tr? the "Mayor, but only on the condition that some military force be kept near, and an officer be placed in commrjnd who will know how and when to give'good advice to the civil authorities. I think, notwithstanding the profes? sions of the people, that it would, be a measure full of evil promise to re? move the military entirely from the district. , TES FBOPLB. Oh the surface, Charleston is quiet and loyal, and I do not doubt that the more intelligent citizens are wholly sincere in their expressions of a de? sir? for peace, and re-union. The eity has beon humbled as no other city ha^ been; and I can't see how any good man, after spending a few days here, can desire that it shall be further?hu mfliated merely for revenge. Wheth? er it has been humiUated enough for health is another thing. ' Said one of the Charlestonians on the boat, "You won't see the real sentiment of our people, for We are under military ride; we are whipped, and we are going to make the best of things; but we hate Massachusetts as much as we ever did." This idea of making the best of tilings is one I have heard from scores of persons. I find very few who hesitate to frankly own that the South has been beaten. "We made the best fight w? could, Imf you were too strong for us, and now we arc only anxious to get back into the old Union and live ?ts happily as we can," said a large cotton factor. I find very few who make- any special pro? fession of Unionism, but they are almost unanimous in declaring that they have no desire but tolive as good and quiet citizens under the laws, j For the first two months of our occupancy ei the city scarcely a white woman, but those of the poorer classes, was seen on the streets, and very few were seen even at the win? dows and doors of the residences. That order of things is now, happily, changed. There doet u't yet appear to be as much freedom of appearance as would be natural, but very many of what are called the "first ladies" are to be seen shopping in the mou? ing ami promenading in the evening. j They, much more than the m*n, have I contemptuous notions ?for the negro soldiers; and scorn for Northern men is sometimes apparent in the swing of their skirts when passing on the sidewalk. One doesn't observe so mifch pleasantness and cheerfuhiess as would be agreeable, but the gene? ral demeanor is quite consonant, v. iii* the general mourning costume. A stroller at sunset sees > not a few pal? and pensive faced?young women of exquisite beaury-, und a rambler of the evening not '.infrequently hears ?1 strain of touching melody from th? darkened parlor ol some loomy old mansion, with now and. then one-of the ringing, passionate airs, ?with which thc Southern. heart has beeu fired during thfc war. Mothers yet teaeh their children hate of the.Nortli. 1 judge,-for when I???ked a bright eyed girl of half a dozen years with whom I walked on a back street for .a block or two, whose girl she was, she promptly answered, "a rebel mother's girl," and the phrase "nasty Yankee boy" seems to he ?he ??trongest taunt among some of t?e street- children. Patience, good people who love liberty, patience-th,e petty woman's spite will bite itsej? to death in time. TUE l ; RAYE OE CALHOUN". A. correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, writing from Charleston^ snys: * Down in tho church-yard of St. ?Phillips, ono o? the richest and most aristocratic of eh?irohes in this proud city, is a grave which every stranger, is curious to see. There are only thc four plain panelled briek^wallft. about three feet high, and on them a mottled white marble slab, some nine feet by foul in size. At the head of the grave is a single sickly ten fbo? high mag? nolia bush. At euch corner of- the foot is a sprawling and tangled damask rose bush, and about midway on the right there is also a small white rose bush. All around the small plat is ;i border of myrtle-sweet in its rich greenness, but untrinnned and broken and goat-i-nton. It i ; the grave oi the father of tho rebellion, and on th ( marble slab is 'cut tho one word "CAEUOUN. " The ehurch-yard symbolizes tia city of Charleston.

Beports vary'with rt gard to* the facts. One is, that ^ guards were wounded ; and, the otho that they were killed by the negroe who had become very disorderly. "VS cannot vouch for the precise fact but there is no doubt tho dist?rbala is a serious one.
