/ \ VOLUME III.... NO. 389.] CHARLESTON, S. C, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 18GG. [PRICE FIVE CENTS. TELEGRAPHIC. [SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CHARLESTON DAILY HEW8.] Message of Gov. Patton, ?? OF ALAJJAMA. e Opposes the Constitutional Amendment. MOBILE, November 13.-Tho Governor's Mes sage takos strong grounds against the Constitu tional Amendment. Aftor roviowing tho wholo subject, ho Rays : I am decidedly of tho opinion that this Amondmont ought not to be ratified. Tho flrat section omhodics principles dnngerous to the people of the wholo country, and is applicable to Now York, Massachusetts, and Alabama. Tho third section would bring possible good to repre sented Statos. It would rcduco those unrepre sented to utter anarchy and ruin. Wo aro sincere ly dosirouB for complote restoration to tho Union, and want conciliation, harmony and national tran quility. We feel that wo havo given every o videnco of honest purposo to conform in good faith to tho condition of things surrounding us. Alabama is , as I ruo to-day to tho Constitution and Laws of the General Govornmont as any Stato in tho Union. Under the Internal Revenue Law-tax on cotton frolic people of this Stato now pay rovenuo to the Government to tho amount of noarly two millions doll .:?.. per year-in the enactment of which laws they had no voice. Tho Amendment was pro posed when noarly one-third of the Statos wore unrepresented, and all its harah features aro aim ed at its features thus excluded. Tho ratification of such an amendment, under such circumstances, cannot accomplish any good to the country, and uiiprht bring irrevocable disastor. -??? ? ? TI??- Georgia Legislature.

It asserts that citizens and in habitants of the United Statos can bo confined in military custody until tbn. courts axo ready to try thom. Tho object of G\ lal GBANT is to avoid all cause of complaint, now that the Civil Rights Bill is in forco and tho judicial tribunals open to all oomplainanta.

Vf On Friday last tho Atlantic Mail Steamship Oom pany was oujolnod by Judge Brady, of the Cour of Common Pleas, or Now York City, from trana forring tho newly created capital ?took of tho coi poration-about eight million dollars. Tho origin al capital was four millions, but at a lato moo fin It was doubled with on understanding, it is allegoc that tho new stock should not bo put into mark? for oix months, dating from July, 1868. The con plaint set forth that tho stock was being disposo of contrary to this agreement, and an Injunotio was, therefore, granted. . ?. ? ? ? Wa Wales, editor of the Baltimore Oommei old. has been appointed Surveyor of tho port ( Baltimore, tioa F?ton, rammed. ON BOARD THE SHIP GOLCONDA. Much interest has been excited by the arrival of {Ma vessel at our port to convo / a cargo of colored . omigrants to Liberia, and an account of the into rior of the ship may bo of intorost to the general reader, and contain profitable instruction to auch of our colored population as may be suflbring with emigration fever. Tho Golconda is a three-masted vessel, about 150 feet long, and has above dook a forward and an after cabin-the former for tho crow and tho latter for tho officers-and be tweon thom ?B tho kitchen. Below dook is ar ranged for tho accommodation of the omigrants. There are tiers of bunks three deep along tho sidos of tho hold, and also a tior in the middle, and each bunk ?B calculated to hold three persons. Thoro are in all 210 bunks, calculated to accommo date GGOpaasongorB. Tho lowcBt rango of bunks ?B about a foot and a half above the floor, and the noxt about two feet above that, and tho top one about tho samo distance from that-leaving about three fcot between it and tho ceiling. The stand ing room betweon the rows of bertha look cramped to a landsman, but is probably aa much aa is usual ly allowed co emigrants. There aro now on bonni Bomo two or three hundred emigrants, and it is expooted that tho vessel will sail to-morrow with a cargo of six hundred. Tho crow of tho vessel consists of Captain Mis Kr.ixY. the mate, atoward, and fourteen Bailors. There aro also ou board Mr. COPPINOEB, the agont of tho American Colonization Society; ROY. Mr. Erskine, Attorney-Goncral of Lihoria, and Dr. SNOWDEN. Tho said Mr. Erskine is a black man, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, who emigrated to Liberia in early life, onterod tho ministry, and rose to his prosont high position by the uuassisted efforts of his own goniua. Mr. Erskine is, with out doubt, a genuino negro; ho is black, has kinky hair and aide whiskers that aro turning gray, and vory thick lips. Ile is tall and portly withal, could easily be mistaken for ono of the plantation preach ers so common at tho South, and docs not dress as if the Liberian Govornmcntpaid him a auporabuu dant salary. Tho Colonization Society undertakes to give tho emigrants a freo pasBago, and six months' support after thoy roach Liboria. Thoy profess to boliovo that "thoro is no chance for tho negro in this country ; that ho must always bo tho inferior of tho white man ; and that, if Africa is ever to bo redeemed, it must bo through the agoncy of hor ov? sons." This may bo all philosophically correct, but wo must confess to an involuntary shuddor at the probable Bufferings of those six hundred hu man boinga boforo thoy can again oxporlonco oven 6uch comforts aB thoy Icavo behind. Tho crowd already on board ia of a miscellaneous kind, and wo very much doubt tho ability of tho officers to enforce some of tho following rules, which havo boen adopted for tho government of tho ship: 1. Tho emigrants aro all put in the caro and un der tho control of Captain Miskolly, and will promptly oboy his ordora. 2. The emigrants will bo divided into Messes of twonty persons each, and one mau will ho appoint ed tho hoad man of each Mess, who shall receive tho water and provisions for his Mess, and bo re sponsible that each member of tho Mess receives his proper portion. 3. Dr. Snowden ia appointed General Super intendent of tho several head-men and ol' their Messes. 4. The allowance for each adult poison is thrco quarts of water, ono pound of brcadatnfls, and three-quarters of a pound of meat a day; two chil dren untlor 12 and over 2 years, count as ono adult. Water will bo Borved at 7A o'clock oach morning. 5. The omigrants will bo allowed the uso of the deck for air aud oxerciso, excepting tho poop deck. 6. Religious services may bo held iu the steer flgo, or on deck, at such times as tho emigrants please, and do not interf?re with the management of the vessel. 7. Tho uso of all obscene and profano language is absolutely probibitod. 8. The omigrants will keep thoir berths and the wholo stccrago clean and in-proper ordor. 9. All lights in tho atooiago will bo put out at 9 o'clock, unless specially allowed by tno cap tain. 10. Smoking, and all lights, except tho ship lights, botweon docks, aro positively prohibited. 11. Money or valuabloa may be placed in charge of the captain for 6afe-keoping. Thoro will not be accommodation for all who wiall to go. Wo learn that 250 havo arrived from Macon, 150 from Nowborry, 120 from Columbia, and 180 from this District, besides a number from other portions of this Stato and as tho vessel when crowded can only accommodate about 700 persona, ?onie of the party must be loft until next Spring, whon it is reported that another vcstiol will nail, oi tho Golconda will make another trip.

THE WANDEREB.-This woll-known VOBHOI, tv line yacht originally, and afterwards a successful trader betweon the coast of Africa and that ol Goorgia, having got worm-oaten, was sent nortb for ropaire.

Tho Columbus Snn reports tho caco of a negri boy about fifteon years of ago, who Btarvea t< doath on Tuesday night.

There in no prottior place in Charleston for a i stroll, on a bright sunshiny day, than the Weat j roinb Mills. Situated in tho wostorn part of the city, away out on tho point of a poninsuln, between two largo mill ponda, their appoaranco ia pictur esque in tho extreme. "Wo haye often seen a pic ture of tlio Neck as it was in the oldon timo, aonic whorc about the year 1800. Tho old Cannonsboro saw mill, nu it thon stood, occupied a prominent placo in the pictnre. and waa thon tho furthest building west. Since another mill was erected a little west of it, and now tho West Point Milla stand at least a quarter of a milo further west, and alruo-t directly on the channel of Ashley Uiver. These laBt belong to the West Point Mill Compa ny; consist of a doublo rioo mill, a cotton ginning establishment, and cooper shop. Tho wholo is undor the management of Mr. W_r. LEBBY, who is alBO a large shareholder in the company. The rico mill, owing, wo have been told, to the fact that soveral planters and factors are membors of the company, has had more to do this season than the othor rico milis of the city. It is a largo and lofty brick building, containing two entire Beta of machinery. Tho two engines that drive the machinory aro o? English inako, imported twonty fivo years ago, and of ono hundred horse power each. On the wharf is an elevator, which ia used to unload the vessels, and which Baves the v&at amount of labor that was formorly required to ac complish that object by moana of baskets. Thero is scarcely a ChnrloBtonian who cannot rccolloct the swarms of old wornon, with rico baskets on their headB, running from tho vc3sel to the mill and back again liko BO many auts. Thi? is entire ly done away with at the Wost Point Mill, by the elevator to which wo have alluded. It consists of aseries of buoketa ou a chain, which passes round . two pulleys, thus forming a cirolo of buckets con tinually filling and emptying. The chain of buck ets is enclosed in a frame, BO arranged as to riBO and fall with the motion of tho vessel in the water. The buckets empty the rico into a long covered trough, which encloses a Bcrow that carries the j rice into tho mill. Before the war this mill, during the winter season, aa woll as throe or four other | largo rice mills in the city, used to bo worked night and day; but now tho other milla aro almost entirely idlo, and this one is not supplied with rice enough to employ it constantly even during tho day. Thero are immense atore rooms attached to the mill that wore once always filled with rico, but aro now nearly useless, the rico being shippod aa fast as it is cleaned. - - Tho (?inning business la, wo boliove. a now olomont in tho industry of Charleston, tho planters boforo tho abolition of slavery, having genorally ginnod thoir own cotton. During tho war most or tho gins wcro dostroyod, and very fow men had capital sufficient to replace thom. The West Point Mills ginning ostab??bmont ia superintended by Mr. BAYNARD, an o_pononcod cotton planter, under whoso akillf id management it has proved a groat BUCCOSS. It runs, by moans of a 10-hor.o power H to am ongino, four MCCARTHY gins and a cotton whirpor. Tho cotton ginnod hore is all Soa Island, and fir?t passes through tho whippor to take out the traah, and then through the gins to get rid of tho seed, and all remaining specks or pnrticlo3 of dirt aro then carefully picked out by hand, ?.eforo the cotton is packed. Machinery is not used for picking tho cotton, but there are largo oloa in the floor of tho upper story through which tho bags oro lot down, and thoy aro filled with the Btaplo and mon jump in and pack it with their feot. Even with thin disadvantage, tho establishment is able to clean and pack from four to six bags daily, oach bag containing from _00 to 3C0 pounds. One woman is omploycd to each gin, ono to tho whippor, five or six to pick out the spocka, and four or five men to pack. Tho labor employed is entirely that of negroes. Before the abolition of slavery the compnny owned about ninety hands, whom thov employed, fed, clothed and furnished with lodging. Tho cottages which thoy built for thoir accommodation aro still thoro, and aro occupied by tho present mill hands, who now number about forty. All those wcro tho slaves of tho company, aud have been retained by Mr. LEDDY on account of thoir good conduct, ?ill tho idlers, thioves and rogues havo boon dis charged, tho company having no longer any objoct to gain by rotaining thom. Tho advantages of thoir position aro BO groat, having nice houses to livo in and a moans of making a comfortablo liv ing, that to bo discharged ?H considered a great calamity, and they bog oarnoatly to bo takou back again. This ia sometimes dono, but after tho su perintendent is Batisfiod that an olTondcr will not reform he dismisses him finally. Tho negroes at presont at the mills aro clean and comfortably elad, and probably about as woll off for tho nocoa aarioa and comfortB of lifo aa any sot of operatives in the world. In going to tho West Point Mills it ia necessary to paBB tho old Cannonsboro' Mill boforo allud ed to. This is Bituatcd on tho neck of tho penin sula, and is now a lumbar mill belonging to W. J. BENNETT, Esq. It has not been at work for a fon days pa?t, in consequonco of the mill dam being out of repair; but tho necessary work on tho dam will now soon bo finished, and the mill will bo sol running again. Prom tho bridge across tho flood gate of tho mill pond, you got a view of nomo ot tho handsomest roBidencos on tho Neck, including tho man ?ion of JOHN S. BYAN, Eaq. ; tho dwelling of Enw'n SEDIIINO, Esq.; tho old llutlodgo Man sion; the house of ANDIIEW SIM?NOS, Esq.; tho real donco of B. J. WIIALEY, Eaq., and Qov. BENNETT'? lum ne. The top of the elogaut roaidonco of tho pro priotor of tho mill, Mr. W. J. BENNETT, can b< soon above tho roofs of tho lowor housos that in torvono botwoon it and tho mil). It is situated 01 Montague street, and ia an ornament to that por tion of tho city. All this portion of Charleston ii comparatively now, hut tho ?inmediato neighbor hood north of the mills contains many hnndnom housos, and is ono of tho moat desirable localitie in all Charleston for a privato residence. -?.?.

On the 31st of October, at about 8 o'clock in tho morning, the outside party auddonly presented themselves in aomo forco in front of tho fortifica tions lying betweon tho San Fernando and Tam pico KoaciH. Notwithstanding the look-out on tho aignnl towor having given an early alarm, tho out siders woro enabled to pour in several volloys be foro a apiri tod return was mado. Aftor several minutes of brisk musketry fire, tho big guns of two forts oponed upon tho advancing column, who wero evidently oiuy skirmishing, with a view to draw tho fire of tho inaidora. When tho artillery oponed a loud riva ran along tho Uno of roeervoB, whoso roar rest on tho river bank. All tho forts wero manned, and considera ble excitement waa manifested, The linoB of now earthworks, oxtending from Casa Mata southward, are being completed, and woro yesterday inspected by the Chiof of tho En gineer CorpB. Firing was kept up at intervals during the day, but amounted to but littlo in tho main. During tho day, yostorday, handbills wero post ed on every corner, roqueating tho citizens to bo at tho guard-house at 8 o'clock last evening, to organ izo a patrol for tho inaintonanco of good order. A disposition waB manifested to disregard tho notice, each man determining to guard hi? own promises and leavo the rest to fate. It is also stated that TATIA lias his lines of attack fairly established, and has secured the services of competent engineers. The Courier of the 1st soys, of AFF.Ur.3 IN MATAHOBAS. Tho Rio Grande Courier, of the 2d, saya : Canal?n, on Thursday evening, sent for the mer chants of the city, including tho Americans, and informed thom that ho must have money. Ho btated his willingness to lot thom take goods out at any price thoy would namo, but without monoy ho could not bo responsible for tho good conduct of his troops. No d?fini to arrangement was made. Dming tho day (yesterday) all communication with this sido was stopped, and much inconvenience caused thoroby. About Ihroo o'clock in the after noon diacrotionary power scorned to have boen granted, and several parties belonging to this side wore allowed to cross. It is said that a distin guished civil official was for a long timo detained thcro, and was onlj? enabled to cross by donning a military coat. ~ A comniiflfuoii r.ont about, tn UM V?H>?<?UB mer chants, during tho afternoon, for tho purpose of raising some monoy. They Htatcd that tho au thorities woro anxious to avoid a f o rend loan, and desired to raise ten thousand dollars peacoably, if possible. AU possible inducements woro offered, but very littlo monoy was raised. Yostorday, 10 o'clock, A. M.. was sot down a& the hour of attack by Tapia, but, for some reason, it did not como off. " . A communication was last ovoning sent to the military commandant on this side from tho Ameri can Consul in Matamoros, giving official informa tion of Canales' statoment that, without money, ho could not bo responsible for his troops. Wo aro informed by reliable authority that Hen. Canales has sent Col. Zuniga to the camp of Gon. Tapia, in order to ask a prolongation of timo for tho delivery of the Gubernatorial scat. It is stated that this domand is only made to gain time. Canales pretends to await for his father-Gone ral of tho samo name-but Gen. Tapia ia woll aware that he, "Canales, is only waiting for rein forcements which are coming-over the loft. It is said that thcro arc only Ihroo or four ol Canales' officers who aro in favor of holding the city. The majority are of Hie opinion that, in giv ing up tho Government to Tapia, the Stato would soon como back to order and progress. Tho Daily Ranchero, of the same date, says: "This morning Joao Maria Do Leon, anothei Commissioner from Tapia, waited on Canales, witt Tapia's ultimatum, which is, in substance, as foi Iowa: " 'Thoro is no pub?c enemy in or near tho Stat( of Tamau'ipas: therefore no nccossity for a mili tory forco in the citv of Matamoras. " Canales U ovacuato tho city, and march his forcos to tho vi cinity of Tampico, or to tho Imperial frontier, nnc facotho enemy in that direction. Tapia agrcoi not to occupy tho city of Matamoras, nor shall i bo occupied at present, by any forcos whatever but until direct orders from Juarez to tho con tiary, the city wiU romain in tho hands of tho civi authorities.' Canales, of course, would not agroo to any sue', arrangement, and Jose M.
