The New York correspondent of "Tm* News," in accounting for tho non-appearanco of bia letters in the past weok, would respectfully announco tho important intelligence that ho is at homo again. The last trip of tho Quaker Oily brought him on-the next trip will toko him back to tho great Empire City. Meanwhile, what doos ho who is native hero aud to the manor born?-what does be noto in the good old City of tho Sea ? A great many things to give him hopo for tho future, yet many morq that bring np ead, too sad, recollec tions of tho unhappy past. Whon Tandora'a box was opened, and all the plagues and evils flow out, Hope remained at the bottom. Let it be so with the box that wo aro in-the box that old Charleston ia in-let us Bpeak of the sad things first, and then of the hopeful ones. Modltki-. who comes fresh from tho big city, where marble palaces are as plentiful as darkies are here, cannot but feel sad as he slowly wends Ina way through tho burnt district, and sees, with his mind's eye, only the many handsome buildings that have not been put np daring his absence. This is but one o? the many evils that bavo como forth from the box which keeps old Charleston shut np, cabinnod, cribbed and confined, but let thom fly all, and let us see what Bigns does Hope send forth to bid us chcor up. First sceno of all I mean first sign of all-is, that people no longei bother their heads about political matters; over man thinks only of tho all-important question "how can I make a dollar?" except some who ar< endeavoring to learn how to moko two dollars, uni a few who aro going to work in such a style as wil ensure thom a respectable pile of greenbacks Sign number two is the city railroad ; even in th? good old days sneb an enterpriso could not bl pushed through, but now in our adversity, do w< find men bold enough to get on the right track, bo lioving the right track to bo the track that is not icing laid so rapidly-for Charleston. Tho thirt sign can be seen at the Guard "House and at Tin D-r_y News office, where Poznanshi's gas multi plier is in practical and successful operation, savin, nightly fifty por cent, in the consumption of gaa with a light far moro brilliant than under the oh system. Sign numbor four hangs out on the man; wharvcB in the shape, form and complexion o cotton bales, rollod by darkies who aro willing t> work, whilst tho large freight liBts of tho soverc lincB of steamers furnish the best evidences c trade coming and to como. Let us cheer np, thon. Let us hopo and bolicv that there is life in the old land yet. Let us shak off this downy sleep and grow as wide awake a tho shrewdest Yankee. Let us bo up and doin( Let us have cheap ridos, and cheap gas, and chea goods. Let us build up tho burnt district; erect tbeatro, and bo up and alive. Lot us bavo naugl to do with politics. Let the Radicals havo i lengthy a swing as possible; give them a long roj and they will most assuredly hang tbomsolvca i good time; meanwhile lot usondoavortoputmon?: in our purses, attend to our own business, and st that old Charleston shall soon bo not herself agaii but a now and improved Charleston-somethir belter than before. A few days ago Mooltbie toe a seat in one of the Charleston stages, and h heart was full of hope, for the omnibus was full passengers. Aye, lot it bo proclaimed from ti house tor?, tbo stago was crowded (it is true rained); the passengers were jammed in in rog lar New York style; ovory seat was taken, ai Moultrie forgot himself for tho moment ai lliought he waa in a Broadway Btago, when, lol lady gets in, and every man arises quickly to ofl her a ssat. Thin was the illusion dispelled, in Moultrie soon saw that ho was in Charleston, n New York-for in tho Empire City a lady m stand in a stago or car till ber shoos grow old, e a scat be offered hor, except by a Southern mon, With hoart elated by tho bright hopea tfc sprang from a contemplation of all theso Big that bid us look for good things in storo for o dear old city, Moultrie has night after night be on a most observant watch for tbo heavenly sigi whoBo appearance tho wiso men who can read t stnrs have predicted. Seated in a third story pii za, with pipe in mouth, at tho dead hour of nig when churchyards yawn, graves give up thoir dei and men indulgo in faro, has Moultrie kop sharp look out for tho grand coleato-moteoric-] roteehnic display. On the second night of I watch, and at about two o'clock by tho watch, waa awakonod from a tomporary slumber by a \ mondous explosion, followed by a brilliant lij that illumined tho ontiro hoavons; anon a bal fire, apparently about threo times as largo as moon, shot across tho horizon, and bursting, t the shapo of a thousand serpents, whioh gradu increased in sizo and length till thoy asaumod most gigantic proportions.Jwhen, presto 1 thoy e donly disappeared, and tho air waa filled with h dreds of largo meteors similar to tho first; ti bursting, took tho shape of mammoth fiery t which, liko tho sorponts, increased in size andt vanished. Next carno tv body of solid fire, in pooranoo about six tkncaaB largeos tho ann; not only abone with resplendent brillianoy, omitted an intenso heat that grow still mort tense aa the motcor slowly descended nearer nearer to tho earth; now it touches tho groi and Moultrie distinctly feelaa burning senBnl - especially about bia breast, which sccmB to b ure. With a loud ory ho Btarta np, and-a* ing, ?lnus that when one untlortakeB to watch out for meteors and to indulge in a nap meanwbilo, it woro but prudont to guara againBt such unpleasant sonnat-ona as may bo produced by tho falling-no of meteors on tho ground-but of Lot ashes (from a pipo) on oiio'h shirt bosom. Such aro tbo signs that Motrc_TB_E lias seen in Charleston by day-tmch the signa that Moultrie has not scon in Charleston by night. Tho signs by dav bid bim hope that Charleston will jet pros per; tn o signs by night bid bim boliovothat tho heavenly ilrowork. will bo postponed till next year at least'. MILLINERY GOODS. MRS. A.
