A NEGRO KTT.T.EI) ON THE RAILROAD.-A cor?
respondent who writes from RidgevQle under
date of the 28th inst, says :
On the night of January 27th, 1868, a colored
man was found dead on the railroad track at this
place. Evidently he had made an attempt to
"steal a ride, ' by jumping on the butting
blocks between two oarriagea, and misaing to
locate himself properly, he foll on the track be?
tween two "caps" with his head on the rail,
and when in thia position the car passed over
his head, breaking it in pieces. A letter ad?
dressed, "My dear Natben," and subscribed,
"Miss Sarah Brown," was found on him. No
other clue to his identity waa discovered. A
jury of inquest was summoned by Jamos M
Cantwell, magistrate, acting coroner, which K
turned a verdict in accordance with tho above
facts. '"_
MORTALITY IN CHARLESTON.-The New York
Evening Post of Monday bas the following
paragraph:
lhere were only fifteen deaths in the City of
Charleston, S. C., for the week ending on the
18th of thia month, including blacks and whites.
Eight years ago the average mortality waa
oser fifty. Thia might appear like a decided
improvement in the sanitary condition of this
.city, but for the fact that in i860 thc population
of Charleston numbered 40,000, while in 1868 it
barely reache8 15,000. The ratio of death to
population is therefore about tho Bame as be?
fore the war. Thia, coD8idering all things, is
better than tho citizens of Chailceton could
have expected.
We do npt know wi.ere the Post obtained its
information. The mortality of Charleston, be?
fore the war, if wo remember rightly, unleaa
during an epidemic, never exceeded 25 or 80
deaths a week. Our readers will bo also sur?
prised to learn that the population of Charles?
ton, in 1868, "barely reaches 15,000." From the
best data at our disposal, we estimate it at
about 35,000. The colored element of our pop?
ulation, which represents about 50 per cent.,
in tho bills of mortality usually representa
about 66 to 70 per cent. ; the white part of the
pornlation, aince the war, having enjoyed a re?
markable immunity from disease and death.
"A HO?SS AND LOT FOB ONE HUNDRED AND
ELEVEN DOLLABS."-ID reply to a paragraph
under the above head which appearer; in THE
NEWS of yesterday, we have received the fol?
lowing letter, which explains itself. No state?
ment of a particular case can, however, dis?
prove our assertion that, from various causes,
real estate now thrown upon the market will
not, and does not, produce anything near to
its real value:
To Uie Editors of the Charleston Daily .Nfws:
Reading in your issue of this morning an
editorial headed "A house and lot for ene hun?
dred and eleven dollars," which, if unnoticed,
may leave the community wrongly in-pressed
as to the tacts of the case, and be usod again
as a strong argument in defeating justice so
tar as the creditor is concerned. I feel called I J
upon to make a plain statement of the case of [
"Brown vs. Miller," in whioh the houso and lot
in Mount Pleasant was sold yesterday, under
"Decree in Equity." Prior to the var, I, as
agent of other parties, purchased, as an in- I .
vestment for gold, a bond secured by fae mort-1
gage of tho property above mentioned, but re
hued to do so without guarantee of ; jayme nt i
Irom the seller of the bond (who had sold the t
property to Mr. Miller). This he willingly .
agreed to do. Failing to collect in say inter?
est on the bond for seven years, I fe! t myself t
called upon to protect those I represented, and f
informed the guarantor of the bonei that I e
would be compelled to foreclose the mortgage, .
unless some satisfactory arrangement could be c
made for tho security of the debt. Proposi- i
tions were made to the drawer of tho bond to B
turn over the property, leaving it to himself
to name a fair price. This he declined, with
the declaration that he was insolvent, and that s
the matter must be arranged by foreclosure. c
I was therefore compelled to do sc, with an
understanding between the guaran tor and my?
self that he could bid in the property and ar- v
range my claim as agent on the pie dg i of other t
securities. So long as Mr. Miller was in posses- E
sion of the property neither I nor the i morant or
could derive any benefit from the rent thereof, 8
and in fact I was informed that the property t
was deteriorating daily from want of necessary s
repairs, and that no attention whatever was
paid thereto. It was under these circum?
stances that the property Bold apparently at so
great a sacrifice. My proposition to the party
responsible for the payment of the tond, long _
since past due, was to allow him any time, 1
from one to ten years, to settle the s ime, with n
interest at seven per cent, per annuli. This I a
judge, in the present condition of affairs, was 8
a sufficiently liberal proposition, aid one to ,
which the guarantor willingly assented. I
most certainly would not have sae rificed my
interest by showing the property to be sold to
any "third party," or pass into the hands of
any "merciless Shylock for the sum it nomi- j
nally brought. It does appear but simple
justice that a creditor be protected in some ?,
way against total loss. The forme:: holder of j
this bond received my gold or its equivalent b
therefor, and all I asked was security that it t
would be refunded, in his own time, with the a
old legal rate of interest at Bevon per cent, per ??
annum. The community can MOW judgo TJ
whether the creditor in this instar ce was un- ?
reasonable in pursuing the only course left to 8
him to protect his own as well as the interest c
of others "entrusted to ms care.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant, ?

A READING.-The benevolence of a lady of 'v
our city has prompted her lo give one of her a
readings, in order to supply the deficiency of
books in the Sunday school connected with the s
First Baptist Church, thoir library .having o
been deatroyed during the i var. The school is
one of great promise, nun: bering nearly two ti
hundred pupils, and the need of books ie a
urgent.
Tho European readings of this highly es- a
teemed lady have afforded pleasure to all who 1
nave ever listened to them. The mere sug?
gestion of another, we are confident, will pre- t:
pare for her a large and appreciative audience, fi
Mrs. Finney has kindly o ?ered her drawing
room for this occasion, No. 190 King-street.
Mr. Wm. Thayer, tho superintendent of the
Sunday school, will be happy to supply tickets
to those desiring them at tno Charleston Bank.
Tickets can also be procured from Mr. Hiram
Harris, Broad-atreet.
STAMPS ONCE MOBK. .he Chowing letter
from Mr. Sawyer, ie in angWPir " raragrapi
that appeared in the local columns i' vester
day's NEWS, and speaks for itself.- There rre,
however, one or two points in it which merit
special attention.
1. It seems that stamps aro sold by the col?
lectors of Interna IBevenne, simply because it is
to their interest to di so, and not because they
ore required by law to keep them on hand. If
Mr. Sawyer therefore were suddenly to enter
on a course of mdifferer.ee and disinterested
?ess, and declino to keep stamps for sale (cer?
tainly a conceivable case), where would the
mfortunate shopkeepers, lawyers, etc, etc.,
procuro those interesting little mementoes of
iberty and republicanism-for tho want of
ivhich they aro liable to prosecution and fine ?
2. The insinuation of the collector against
mr merchants is a fling as ill-natured as it is
rratuitouB. Mr. Sawyer certainly had the ad
antage of most of his fellow-citizens in becom
ng acquainted with the various provisions of
he Stamp act more thoroughly and at an ear
ier period than they did. But ho cannot say
hat, after tho requirements of the law were
airly understood, there was any disposition to
ivade the law on the part of our people. We
lo not behove that any one of the tradesmen
n this city has sold, without a stamp, one
ingle article to which, according to his infor
oation, a stamp should have been attached ;
nd the accusation of Mr. Sawyer is, in our
pinion, both ungenerous and undeserved.
3. ?s regards the careless answer, the writer
roold state that there was no special disoour
esy. The clerk simply remarked there were
io such stamps, and turned away. The an
wer was not considered satisfactory, because
he writer was under the impression that the
elli ag of Btamps was part of the regular prov
ace of the collector, and thai when any par
icular denomination was wanting, simple
ourtesy dictated that the citizen, desiring to
ur ch ase stamps, should be informed when he
light reasonably expect to be supplied. But
s it ie not the business of the office to sell
tamps, of course there was no discourtesy in
he curt reply.
UNITED STATES INTEBNAL REVENUE, )
COLLEOTOB'S OFFICE, 2D DISTBICT, 8. G., >
CHARLESTON, January 29,1868. )
"o the Editors of the Daily News :
Your article on "stamps/* in to-day's paper,
i evidently written under a wrong impression.
The Collector of Internal Bevenue is not bound
y law, or regulation in accordance with law,
0 keep revenue Btamps for sale. He does, as
matter of fact, keep Btamps for sale, and en
leavors to keep on hand such as are usually
leeded by those who have occasion to uso
hem. Sometimes it happens that an nnfore
een demand arises for the Btamps of a parfci
ular denomination, and the supply is exhauBt
d before a new order can be lilied. Especial
v has this been the case with some denomina
ions of what are known as proprietary stamps,
ince the action of the Grand and Petit Junes
a the United States Court has awakened per?
ons to a sense of the risks they run by selling
rlicles by law required to be stamped without
laving so stamped (mern.
1 regret the inconvenience thus caused, but
m no more blameable fdr it than a merchant
3 for having a stock of merchandise insuffi
ient to supply the current demand. I am daily
speeling a rail supply of the kind of stamps
lluded to in your article; and certainly have
0 desire to balk the zeal of our dealers thus
uddenly aroused to a sense of their duty to
he revenue, but shall aid it by all the means
1 my power. All my interest is in the direc
ion of selling as many Btamps aa possible ; but
am in no way bound to Bell or "provide''
tamps more than the proprietors of THE DALLY
IEWB are.
As for the-"careless answer" given, I trust
oat if anything wau wanting in courtesy in any
newer given in my office, I shall be infoimed
f it, that it may he promptly excused ; for I
m quito certain no one of my clerks would
illingly incur any liability to such a charge.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
FREDERICK A. SAWYEB,
Collector.
FIBST NATIONAL BANK.-Yesterday this in
:itution entered upon a new era. Hitherto,
i its nascent period, and in the early days of
s history, it was content to transact business ,
t the building of the Bank of Charleston,
ow its success is assured, the formative stage |
i past, and the F?rst National Bank hos taken
sj place with the best and safest of the estab- .
shed institutions of the country. It rose in
p mod of (rreat financial depression, and
tiring the two short years of its existence has
Gathered storms and panics. From all of
ieee it has come forth triumphant, and now
?joys the confidence of the whole country,
a saying that this is principally if not alto
ether due to the unwearied efforts, energy
nd business capacity of its President, Andrew
?monde, Esq., we only express the unanimous
pinion of the whole community.
Yesterday tho bank removed to its new
uilding (formerly occupied by the Farmers'
ad Exchange Bank), and celebrated the evont
y a handsomo collation in the hall over the
auk. We had the pleasure of assisting at
lis genial reunion, where many of our busi
oes men spent an hour or two in pleasant
inverse and in the discussion of the abundant
oed cheer provided by mine host of the Mills
[ouse.
The building is well known to all our city
caders, and needs no detailed description. It
ad been considerably injured by tho casual?
es of war, but of these there is no longer a
.ace visible. To Messrs. Sawn er & Ferguson,
ie contractors, is duo thia pleasing metamor
hosis. Tho carpentering work executed
nder thoir immediate supervision. Tho vault,
oors, and burglar proof safes are from Lillie's
afo and Irou Company, Now York. Tho
aunter, desks, and railing are furnished by
lewis & Beocher Company, New Haven, and
re tasteful in design, of excellent material,
ad thorough finish.
The lout erisernble of tho banking house was
inch admixed by tho numerous visitors yester
ay, and every one went away wishing success
ad prosperity to the First National Bank.

The court then adjourned.
A "SHARP" TRICK.-The proprietors of the
hilliard saloon opposite the Mills House hare
for some time been conducting a losing busi?
ness. Their tables had been purchased from a
manufacturer North, on credit, and the obliga?
tion had not been met. The rent of the build?
ing was also unpaid, aud the adventurers were
exceedingly hard up. The landlord had levied
upon their stock in trade, which was to be sold
at an early day, but in the meantime the ori?
ginal owner of the tables (a man named Sharp),
who had never received pay for his property,
came to the city and produced a mortgage
which had been given at the time of purchase.
This claim was not considered valid,
and the sale would have been made
but for a slight of hand trick that
was perfected by the first claimants.
Knowing the nature of the building they com?
menced operations early on Tuesday morning;
the tables were taken to pieces, and before the
inmates of the Mills House were aroused from
their early slumbers, the tables were sent to
the steamer and shipped for New York. When
the news was received the la?t shipment had
been made and before the eager claimants
could reach the wharf, the steamer was some
distance on her way.
The billiard saloon was like some banquet
hall deserted, for the Sharp-era had made a
clean sweep, and nothing remained bul a little
chalk and a few useless ones. The game was
cloe d and it was proved conclusively that Ply?
mouth Bock was the best place On the conti?
nent for cutting wisdom teeth, and that the
descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers were more
than a match for their Southern brethren.
