Monet I-We sympathize heartily with the proposition that has been made, that the money which has accrued from the recent Bale of the Charleston Savings In .stitution should be divided among the deposi tors of that company. We regard it as a posi tive injury to the finances of the city to lock up so large an amount in a bank which dare not use one penny of it, lest a sudden call be made for its redemption. We have no doubt that ere this the treasurer of the institution has made an approximate estimate of the amount due each depositor and a per centage of this issued to each depositor would greatly tend to relieve the existing financial yi pressure, besides opening new channels for future investment. We have heard that the amount realized from the sale is not much less than frtm thirty-two to thirty-five per cent of the original deposit. A payment of ten or fif teen per cent, would be a great help to the -community, and we earnestly invite the atten tion of Master Tupper to the importance of the subject, the feasibility of the plan, and the public benefit which he has it in his power to .confer.

A Desperate Encounteb in North Cabo una.?Information has been received by tele graph from- North Carolina that on Sunday last a_ desperate encounter occurred in Pitt -County, of that State, wherein two persons were killed and two badly wounded. It appears that a desperado named Carney or Kearney, who, for many months, has evaded the civil officers of the law when they sought to arrest him for the varions crimes which he had com mitted, was finally tracked to his lair by a United States officer and a squad of soldiers. Evidently determined not to be taken alive, Carney, with his son and son-in-law, blockaded themselves in their house, and refused all summons to surrender. On attempting to break into the premises, the military posse were fired upon; one of their number was kill ed, and the officer commanding the squad wounded. The fire was returned, and the desperado and his son-in-law killed, and the BOS badly wounded. These are the only particulars of the affair vet received. The event will no doubt be ex aggerated, and made to appear at the North as an indication of the rebellious spirit of North Carolina. NBut we are assured that the arrest was attempted only for the reasons above stat ed?namely, '?Lhat Carney was the terror of the neighborhood, and could nrjibe secured by the heal authorititfe. THE FIREMK.VS CONTEST ENDED THE POWEF. OF THE STEAMER? TESTED. THE PALMETTO WTNS THE CUP. At the conclusion o: the contest on Monday, the playing had not been completed, ind the Marion, Washington and Young America were to have tried their prowess yesterday. As the Washington will shortly visit Savannah, and the engine being in complete trim, it was thought best to withdraw, the day being ex I tremely wet and disagreeable, "id the distance made by the Palmetto very hard to beat. The Marion and YounR America were, therefore, the only contestants, and. in spite of the heavy rain, proceeded to the ground about 4 P. M., aud took their stations, the Marion leading off. Notwithstanding wet and rain, the enthusiasm that a display of this description has always produced could not be dampened, and the plat form was lined with umbrella-clad individuals, who seemed to think a superfluity of water one of the greatest enjoyments of life. The windows in the neighboring houses were also crowded with spectators, while the firemen took the rain with the spirit of young ducks. The courthouse and the porch of the guardhouse had each their full quota of drip ping mortals. A head wind and the dense at mosphere prevented the streams from being sent to any great distance. The Marion played two hundred and four feet five inches, and tbe Young America two hundred and fifteen feet six and three-quarter inches. After the playing was concluded and the distances measured, it was seen that the Palmetto was again the actor and would carry off the cup. This fact was no sooner ascertained than a rush was made for the guardhouse porch, which was soon crowded with a steaming, motley mass of humanity. The little darkeys climbed to the windows, and clinging to the bars obtained a birdseye view of the scene, but the less fortunate reporters were compelled to en dure the crush and confusion of the crowd. A passage having been cleared, Alderman Wil lis, who acted throughout as one of the judges, awarded the silver cup to Mr. Hugh Ferguson, President of the Palmetto. The usual con gratulatory and responsive speeches were made, after which the crowd slowly dispersed. The drag ropes were manned, and the engines and their moist attendants moved homewards.

THE ACCEDENT TO THE PHCENfX. We have already alluded to the dam age done this engine on the day oi the parade. The engine had practice 1 on the 23d and hid thrown a solid stream of water two hundred and thirty feet; another trial was not deemed necessary before the parade. After that event, on returning to the house, it was discovered that some one had been tampering with the bolts in the lower part of the pump, the nuts being loosen ed and marks of a chisel discovered. It was found necessary to have this portion of the machinery recast, and it was removed yester day, and will be sent to the makers, Jeffers & I Co, New York. While this is being repaired, the company have obtained the loan of the old Stonewall engine and will not remain inac tive in case their services should be required at a fire. FIREMAN'S REUNION. Last night the Palmettoes, who were the re cipients of tbe prize awarded to steamers, gave a collation, to which their equally successful neighbors, the Vigilants, were invited. A few hours were passed very pleasantly in the inter- j change of firemen's hospitalities, and the even ing was enlivened by song and sentiment, in terspersed with a few speeches from modest orators. Among the invited guests were Major Willis, the judge of the contest, and delegations from various fire companies. District Court?Hon. Geo. W.

It was noticed that the commission of the new judge was not read, as is usual, upon a judge taking his seat for the first time. He requested the Clerk of the Court to prepare a form of the rules and government of the court, as these differed from those in use in many States. After a conference with the Attorney General, it was ordered that, as a sufficient number of jurors had not answered to their names, taleumen be drawn to complete tbe re spective juries. It being a general holiday, the judge ordered that the court adjourn to Tues day, at ten iL M.

After receiving the indictment of the Stato vs. Arthur Spearing, alias Chisolm and Fran cis Lopez, (both colored,) for murder, the Grand Jury left the court and shortly after re turned with a finding of true bill against both.

SEMt-anncal BEPOHT of the "home fob the MOTHERS, WIDOWS ant) DAUGHTERS of con FEDEBATE SOLDtEBS.*' FOB the half ?eab ENDING APflTL 15, 1863. The ladies in charge of the "Home," believ ing the public to be interested in their mission of love and merer, would lay before those who have so kiudly aided in this charity a brief statement of what has been accomplished for the welfare of its inmates. The "Home" has been in operation for six months-, and numbers sixty occupants. Here these destitute ladies and children, some of whom haye been re duced from affluence to poverty by the misfor tunes of war. find a comfortable shelter and a pleasant home. In the seclusion of her apart ment, each mother can cany on the work of training her children with the same privacy and care thai she could in her own home; and the children can still enjoy the privileges and pleasures of the domestic circle. Three times a week soups are supplied in this institution ; and from time to time such pro visions as have been sent by friends, have been distributed among the inmates, and most grate fully received. A school numbering over fifty children, and constantly increasing, gathered from the fami lies in the "Home," and from those unable to secure education elsewhere, has been organ ized and is gratuitously taught by young ladies of refinement and culture. The progress of the children in acquiring knowledge has already been such as to reward and stimulate their dis interested teachers. The large and commodious building rented by the Board of Control affording the facilities, it is proposed, as speedily as possible, to admit a limited number of girls?daughters of Con federate soldiers?who have been impoverished by the war, and to afford them a home in order to secure them the means of a thorough edu cation. They will be placed under the super vision of a discreet and experienced lady as Matron. For the means of their 3ducation and board, however, the Board of Control makes earnest appeal to the liberal and benevolent. Tuition for them can be obtained at some of the best schools in the City of Charleston at one-half the usual rates; and the zeal and. determination of the young ladies to secure the means of self-support will, doubtless, en sure double the ordinary progress towards that coveted result. Fortunately, the spacious premises occupied as the "Home" have afforded shelter to per sons in need who do not come within the exact letter of the purposes of the institution, but who have gladly availed themselves of the privilege of occupying rooms in the building, which were not immediately required by those for whom they were originally designed. The eagerness with which ladies have availed them selves of even a temporary shelter, which they covenanted cheerfully to resign so soon as it should be needed by those having a prior claim, does but indicate the extremity to which we ore reduced, the patient magnanimity with which it is borne, and the timeliness of evon the least effort and prayer for its relief. While thanking most gratefully all who have assisted us in this undertaking, we earnestly en treat them not to relax their generous endea vors on behalf of the "Home." There are many wants of its inmates which we are unable to supply; and we feel that our work is incom plete until we pour out the full measure of comfort upon those whose protectors yielded up their Uvea in defence of their homes and ours. We fully realize the vast importance of our undertaking?its grave responsibility. We know our work to be a noble one?to comfort the widow and the fatherless, and to shelter I the homeless. Therefore, with an abiding faith in the kindness of our people, and a con fident trust in the benevolent promptings of humanity, we earnestly commend the Home to the liberal and the philanthropic everywhere.

Bv command of Brevet Major-General Ed. B. S. Canst. LOUIS V. CAZIARC, Aid-de-Camp, Acting Assistant Adjutant GeneraL A Welcome feom Savannah k Advance? The Savannah Republican, alluding to the promised visit of the VigUant and Washington Fire Companies of this city, says: We can assure not only tho "Vigilants," but every other firemen's organization that may honor our city with a visit on the first of May, that no pains will be spared to render their stay as pleasant and profitable as geuuine South ern hospitality and the bond of undying friend ship that exists between the two cities can niolcc it. It is the intention of our gallant firemen, whose reputation for generosity and true magnanimity of character as civilians has onlv been equalled by their undaunted he roism in battle as soldiers, to pay such homage to their distinguished guests as will befit the important occasion, and if the original pro gramme is carried out, we have no doubt it will be the moans of filling tho minds of all who may accept their hospitalities cn the 1st of May with delightful reminiscences of Savan nah and exalted opinions of her protectors? our brave firemen. Should the woather prove aus picious, the arrangements that have already been made, with others that are uow being rap idly perfected, warrant us in stating that the displav will bo one of the finest and most ex tensive ever witnessed south of Baltimore. We nresutne our Charleston neighbors are too well aware of the character of our fhemen to re quire laudatorv notice of them at our hands; hence we shall content ourselves by stating that thev will, with the hearty co-operation of our best citizens, make this demonstration one not onlv worthv in evervrespect of the unsullied reputation of the Savannah Fire Department, but such an ovation as will redound to the credit of the "Forest City" of the "Empire State of the South." Washington Avenue. Tho snbject of creating an ample commer cial thoroughfare, parallel to the entire extent of wharfage on Cooper Eiver, has for a consid erable time past been under consideration, and the need of such a thoroughfare has been sen sibly felt by many of our merchants. From tho Southern wharves at East Bay Bat tery to Market-street, East Bay-street averages seventy feot in width,is quite direct in its course, is parallel and contiguous to the wharfage, and fulfils all the conditions needed for the above purpose. But northward, from Market to Cal houu-streets, East Bay-street is crooked, scarcely exceeding fifty feet in width, in many places being as narrow as twenty-Beven to thirty-four feet, and is therefore to the north of Market-straet unfit for the purposes of a mercantile thoroughfare. It has consequently been thought necessary either to improve East Bay-street from Market-street northward, or to provide a new and proper channel to con nect with East Bay-street at or near the New Customhouse. A careful csnsideration of the subject will render the advantages of the latter course ap parent. Practically speaking, it is not possible to snaighten East Bay-street, from Market to CallJJun, and to make it even fifty feet in width, and with its present location, would be attend ed with considerable expense, by reason of val uable buildings which would require removal. By inspection of the city map, it will be seen that by departing from East Bay-street, in the neighborhood of the market, with a slight angle westward, a route seventy feet in width can be obtained, which would meet Washing ton-street at Society-street continued, and would, to all practical purposes, be a direct prolongation of Washington-street, which, in a straight line, now runs from Society to Calhonn street. From East Bay to Society-street this new street would, for the most part, run over private property. However, only five or six buildings would require removal; none of them being of great value, and indeed all but one being of an inferior class, involving in themselves thereby very slight expense, and leaving otherwise only the ground occupied to be purchased. Thus, at a minimum of cost, an ample thoroughfare, very nearly straight, would be opened from the Southern wharves to Cal houn-street, and the great object bo essential to a commercial seaport be attained. From Calhoun-street Washington-street continues, with a Blight deflection of a few degrees, to the Northeastern Bailroad Depot, at the eastern end of Chapel-street. When the proposed ex tensions are completed, a broad route will be formed admirably suited for the cotton travel, as it will extend from the Bailroad Depot to Southern Wharf. Colonel E. B. White is now engaged in mak ing an instrumental examination, and hopes in a few days to make an official report on the entire subject to his Honor the Mayor. The City Engineer, Mr. Louis J. Barhot, has been for some time engaged in making the survey of the shell road, and the services of Colonel White were fortunately secured for the survey of the new thoroughfare. Some years since Colonel White, in connection with Mr. Parker, surveyed Washington-street to the then con templated extension of Society-street east ward, and his knowledge of the route has been of gieat assistance in the present survey. To Colonel Cogswell, the present Mayor, ia due the credit of inaugurating the shell road and the extension of Washington Avenue. The Caldeb House.?Since Madame Gidiere has assumed charge of this hotel, formerly so well known as the "Planter's," it bas grown wonderfully in favor, as well with the transient public as with the large class of persons who desire first-class private hoard at moderate rates in a quiet neighbornood, and yet in close proximity to the business portions of Broad street and the Bay. The estimable hostess has entirely refurnished the house in neat and comfortable style; the servants are attentive and well trained, and the table d'hote is pro vided with an abundance and elegance that fully sustains the reputation in that respect which Madame Gidiere acquired when in charge of the Mansion House. The rates are adapted to the times and to the changed fortunes of our people, and, under its present manage ment, the Calder House bids fair to become one of the institutions of Charleston.

To the Editors of the JSfetet . In the name of all the housekeepers of Charleston, why must the market be closed at nine o'clock in the morning, and everybody be put to serious inconvenience? Do sanitary precautions require it? Charleston, hereto fore, never has suffered anything from keeping the market open till ten, or even eleven, o'clock during the hot season, and why the necessity of so stringent a regulation now ? Under the present system, every housekeeper must be in the market when he or she should be presiding at the breakfast table, or else in cur an additional outlay in the shape of an ex tra butler and his stealings. Here I am, dependent for my very existence on a good dinner and the smiles of the lady at the head of the table. Since Mayor Cogswell's edict, I have seldom hud either. Just imagine my condition, mental and physical, and also that of the lady of tb e house : she is utterly distracted by the vain endeavor to accomplish the almost impossible feat of saying grace at breakfast and getting in time to market to order dinner. Withou t her presence breakfast is a tome affair, and without a good dinner life is of no account. Indignantly yours, LEGARE-STREET. BUSINESS NOTICES. H, H.
