[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

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

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.

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

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."

CHEROKEE SPRINGS, Aug. 9, 1871.
MR. EMTOR: Since mj bft, I have visited
the Tjwu of Sparenburg, and was very much
pleased with the place and the people. Tho
town ii beautifully situated on high ground, aad
oret ' >oka the surrounding country. .A view, from
an elevated point is full of interest. In.front to
the south and west a vast valley spreads out be?
fore you, filled with undulating fields of corn and
cotton, and fringed with forests of pine and oak,
a bose tops fade away in the misty looking dis?
tance. Just balow you the town itself with its
handsome dwelling*, large Hotel, and frequent
.?pre? presents a lively picture, while to thc
north an i e ist the blue mountains rue in their
native m.ijeity, and GUyoursoul with a strange
and solemn awe. On a clear day yea can seo to
thc wonderful distance of 70 miles! I was not
so fortunate, as there were clouds hanging about
tbe horizon, wbicb limited my vision.
This seems to be .1 thriving pIacel;Many large
and well stocked ?tores tempt the visitor, and
