THE JUNK-SHOPS OF CHARLESTON-THEIB OJ AND PROGRESS-THE "8TOCK TN TRADE WHERE IT COSTES FROM AND WHERE TT 001 TO-THE CHIFFONIER AND HIS OCCU? PATION-PROFITS OF THE JUNK DEALERS-CITT REGULATIONS ES REGARD TO THEM. ETC., ETC., ETC There are few persons who are aware ol peculiarities of the junk trade; wha bought, and whero it comes from. The or two small shops which a few years ago 1 found iu out-of-the-way sections of tho have increased and multiplied, and the ow in many instances have acquired a goodly of filthy lucro. There are now forty licei junk-shop3 in the city which are scattered f South Bay to Line-street, and from the Coi to the Ashley. "Tall oaks from little ac< grow," and many of the small beginner this trade, who have started in a hole in wall scarcely largo enough to swing a around, expoct to attain the dignity of ri chant princes. The shops are generally li ted in unfrequented back streets, and some serted carriage house is selected where rubbish can be stored, under thj eyes of owner, and his nose can be regaled with balm of a thousand effluvias that emanate fi the different piles. A glance into one of th shops would soon convince the visitor tha was an omnium gallierum. Nothing is mean to be purchased, and the collection c sists ol every imaginable article, from an bone to a bar of railroad iron. Rage, boc old iron and scrap metals are the general cc modifies offered for sale, and when the dill ent piles become too formidable in size s smell, they are put in crates and sold to I head centres of the junkers, Messrs. Moi Goldsmith & Son, and Wm. Meade, and shipr by them to Bost on. In describing these jul shops, it would be well to consider first h their motley stock is collected. The first w has a hand in the dirty pie is THE CHIFFONIER. This individual is not unknown to fal as he has been graphically described several prominent writers. The chiffon; of the romances was, as his name in cates, a Parisian, and somewhat diff?re from those who scratch the dirt heaps our streets. In this benighted land the 01 ploy mont of chiffonier is monopolized aime exclusively by tho darkies who ply their voe tion from early morn to dewy eve. They are both sexes, generally of an advanced age, ai are to be distinguished by a chronic stoop, whii they have acquired from long bending, bo over their muck heaps and under the weight their plunder. Whatever is collected is once put into a bag, and the search being co eluded, the poor chiffonier staggers to tbe ne inviting pile and renews bis investigation Where these characters liva or how they co trivo to support themselves is unknown. Tl Parisian chiffonier has been known to seen valuable prizes of jewelry from his dust heap but with tho poverty now prevalent in this lat such an event is almost an impossibility. Win tbo trash is collected it is assorted, and tl bones, rags and other scraps separated; thoi are then taken to the nearest junk-shop ar sold readily at one-quarter to one-half cent p< pound, the metals t ringing higher price lhere is, however, no settled rate, as the prie given is governed by circumstances. As thei aro fow families who savo thoir rags and oth( rubbish, tbo dirt heaps uro always rich Wit this dost.rip.ion of plunder, and to the chi: loniei present au alluring field for speculatioi Having described thc chiffonier we next com to the JUNK-SHOPS. Webster, strango to say, even in his "Ur abridged," ignores the word that forms tb subject of the present article. We find ther "junk, n. [Lat. juncus, Fr. jone, lt. gtuncc a bulrush, ot which ropes were made in earl ages]. Pieces of old cab] J or old cordage used fur making paints, gaskets, mats, Ac. and when picked to pieces, forming oakum fo filling the seams of ships." This is clearly th ancestor of the modern junk-shop, and ou readers, we feel assured, will bj content wit! tbis hint as to its aboriginal etymology. In tho large cities of Europe, whero popula tion is dense und hfo a struggle, the rag-pick er has long been an institution, and in th odoriferous suburban precincts may be lonni tho de Uer in "old clo'," in rags, old iron, glass boues, etc.; but iu the United States, anc more especially in our highly favored Southon country, the chiffonier was but little known be fore the war. There wore "junk-shops," it ii true, even in Charleston in days long gone by but they were few and far between, and form od but the nucleus of the present flourishing trade. Enter one of these original junk-shops. It ii usually located somewhere in the vicinity of s sailors' boarding house. The firet af traction to your sonsos is the smell, a combination ol tar, salt water and sulphuretted hydrogen Most of our readers have heard of the balm ol a thousand flowers, but as Coleridge wrote ol Cologne, there is in every junk-shop t . n thou? sand well defined and soparate stinks. The proprietor himself generally partakes largely of tho "loud" characteristics of thc place. A first-class junki6t is supposed to be possessed of unbounded information over everything re? lating to old clo' a-..d old iron. His shop is an omnium gatherum of almost every conceivable object that bas boen boru, grown or manufac? tured, from a petrified mermaid to a four-inch cable. He is on the host terms with all thc indefatigable little boya in town, from whom he buys tboir metallic Tickings at rates which tempt their cupidity, and givo them tho alpha? betical lessons in crime. The consequence is that in the course of a very few month3 what might, under other circumstances, bo a respectable twelve-loot chamber, is turned into a receptacle where the most incongruous materials in all shapes, sizes anil conditions, are thrown helter skelter, waiting to be finally transformed in the furnace of tho foundry into shapes of use? fulness and beauty. Hero there is a pile of lead pipe, lhere a half bushel of nails, yonder mounds ot matter, com? posed of sheot iron, bits of shells, gas tubes, pumps, and every conceivable description of metal. This, however, constitutes but a single department. The ragman comes in and emp? ties his dirty stores. Bags and crates of paper and torn envelopes find their place. The bone gatherer makes his osseous deposits; while thc pertinacious little fellow who collects every? thing in tho shape of glass, from the Lillipu? tian homeopathic vial to tho cyclopean ex-re? ceptacle of Eppings Sarsaparilla, finds a ready customer in our heroes, the great junkists. The shop is one o' nose places whero the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth. The propnotor is emphatically mum. He asks no questions, and of courso tells no lies. Detectives only know thc ins and outs of these curicus establishments; and it is not un frequently the case that last night's plunder is traced with unerring precision to the dim and musty recesses of these unclean haunts. The enterprise is, h nvever, undoubtedly one which, in the language of the world, pays. Whether lesitimatoly or illegitimately conduct? ed, there is always a margin ot profit which compensates handsomely for tho small invest? ments made. From two hundred to five hun? dred per cent, are the ordinary rates upon tho shipment of tbeso miscellaneous collec? tions, and lhere aro few of the so-called junk dealers, who in the course of time have not barn able, father to retiro from business with handsome fortunes, or divert their profits into lesa quostio/iablo channels of trade. When Mayor Miles carno into office in 1855, the Police department was reorganized, and as a ni tura 1 sequence all unlicensed dealers of every description wero hauled over the coals. The Mayor recommended to Council that an ordinance uhould be passed which would regu? late the junk-shop dealers. In accordance with his suggestion tho following regulations were adoptad, and have been continued in force from that time without any variation. MUNICIPAL REGULATIONS. The ordinance regulating junk-shops was passed in 1857, and has been in force since that time. It provides that the junk-shop keeper shall pay a license of $50-the applica? tion to be recommended by three respectable freeholders, and when tho Uceuse is granted, a bond shall be executed iu tho sum of $1000, with two approved sureties. Each poison re? ceiving a license shall put over the entrance of the shop a sign designating thc name and number of the license. The ordinance also provides that tho junk-kceper shall have a book, in which shall be written a description of the articles purchased or bartered for, the name and residence of the person from whom re? ceived, and the day and hour when the pur? chase was made. This book was to be at all times open to the inspection of the Mayor, or any official authorized to inspect the same. The shops are not to be opened except between sunrise and sunset, and the keepers shall never either directly or indirectly, purcliaso any arti? cle from a minor or apprentice, except when a Witten permission is produced. Persons vio? lating this ordinance aro subject to be fined from $10 to $50; and all persons who keep a junk-shop without a license, are fined from $50 to $100. It will be seen that even at that early day sheae shops were carefully watched, and the amount ol' the license and fine was proportion? ed to the chances afforded for rascality. FIN AXE. Junk-shops now form an important branch of trade. Their notoriety has considerably in? creased of late, and chiefly, we must add, in the police courts. There are few thefts of metals where the Stolen plunder has not boon traced to some unprincipled junk dealer. The ordinance passed in 1857 was intended for those peaceful days when the baneful influences of war were unknown. Since that time, how? ever, these shops have multiplied, and have too often (to their discredit be it said) proved but harbors for rascality. It would be unjust to charge the whole fraternity with the laults of a few, but tho facts we have stated aro notorious, and call for some remedy. Tho liconso tax now paid is but the small sum of fifty dollars, and the TJuited States Revenue requires but ten dollars per annum when tho Bales arc under twenty-five thousand dollars, and fifty dollars when they exceed that amount, which is con? sidered a wholesale license tax. Tho fine for selling without a license is, however, placed at $500. In Savannah the municipal tax is $250, and this is readily paid, those engaging in the business finding it profitable even with that outlay. With tho exception of Messrs. Moses Goldsmith & Son, the junk dealers in thia city pay only tho retail tax to tho United States, and the municipal tax is but a trifle when deducted from the enormous profits that are made on their miscellaneous stores. Each of the small dealers collect their conglomerat? ed piles and soil thom cither to Messrs. MOM Goldsmith <fe Son or to Mr. William Meade, by whom they are shipped to Boston. Tho ictail dealers, of course, make their profit, which is generally moro than doublod by tho shippers. Tho latter do not, howover, confino themselves to this smaU trade, but aie themselves pur? chasers to a large extent, and secure every? thing in the shape of iron, from a columbiad to a steam engine. Tho largo amount of dam? aged army materials rocently sold at tho Charlosto* Arsenal and other points, was most? ly bought in by the wholeaalo junk dealers at a comparatively small aura and shipped to Bos? ton. While juuk-shops may be considered au im? portant accessory to a largo city, it is necessa? ry that they should bc rogulatod by proper or? dinances. They have doubtless relieved Charleston o? a largo amount of unnecessary rubbish, but they unfortunately offer an in? viting opouing for receiving stolen gt ods, and unless tho laws aro made more stringent, not only citizens, but corporations will bu suffer? ers to a largo extent. Tho South Carolina Railroad has for some timo been robbed of its iron. Through the exertions of tho city de? tectives tho stolen plunder was traced to a junk-shop, and tbo thieves arrested. As we stated before, thee o arc exceptional cases. The majority of tho junk doalers con? duct their businoss in accordance with law and order. They are aa necessary to tho city as scavengers, and if they can contrive tomnko money out of thoir odoriferous collections, and to make it honestly, we can only bid thom "God speed," and 6ay that it ia a good riddan e of bad rubbish. Some quaint philosopher hos said that tho blood of an Alexander may finally become, in ito concentration, tho buug of a boer barrel, and who can tell tho richness ot' thc atoros col? lected, sold and remodelled into new and useful shapes after they have passed thc eagle cyo of your first-claBS dealer in junk?

Every seat waa taken, and chairs were brought in to accommodate tho numbers who were standing. "Kathleen Mavourneen" and "Terence O'Moore" were the great attractions. "Kathleen's" winning wavB and livoly songs won her hosts of friends, while the song, "Wearing of the Green, brought down tho house. Mr. and Mrs. Wat? kins have brought with them the highest cre? dentials from the Dublin theatre, and the audience that greeted them last night was convincing proof that they were appreciated as actors of the highest order. Tho play was admirably performed, and was received throughout with rounds of applause. THBOUOH TO SAVANNAH.-Few persons who bavo travolled on the Charleston and Savannah Steam Packet line would desiro any other form of conveyance. The boats and their captains are known to every one who has visited either city. The Pilot Boy and Fannie are almost household words, while Captains McNelty and Peck aro famous for their attention to the wants of their passengers and their expertness as sea? men. Until the railroad is completed, this line will continue to command the greater part of the trade, '?he trip is short and pleasant, un? less the unfortunate passenger should be af? flicted with the mal de mer; but this terror is of short duration, as the route is principally inland, where the raging billows do not roll. Once i 1 Savannah, the traveller naturally soeks a resting place, and this can be easily obtained from the genial proprietor of the Screven House, Mr. G. McG nley, who was formerly connected with the MillB House, iu this city, and conse? quently " knows how to keep a hotel." BUSINESS NOTICES. FINANCIAL.- We would direct attention to thc advertisement of Mr. Andrew M. Moreland. The delegates will be pleased to learn that State bills will bo purchased.
