CO-OPERATION IN CHARLESTON-THE PALMETTO ' PIONEER CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY.-The annual ] meeting of this Association took place last night J at Masonic Hall, and was a foll and enthusiastic ? gathering of the members. The reports of the f several departments were presented and gave 1 evidence of the healthy ?nd vigorous condition i of the affairs of the society. The organization, < although from its very nature, offering no in- < duoemente to capitalists, has been found emi- i nontly sn bs orri ant to the interest o? those for ( whose benefit lt was established. It offers I an absolute certainty", of saving a large i percentage yearly .on what must neceaaari- 1 ly. be expended by c -<. y household. The 1 difficulties and embarrassments encountered- i hythe society at the outset have now .been i fairly overcome, and every d*7 that passes .( adds to the guarantee of its success and per- < manence. The store on Market-street origi- 1 nally occupied by the society, has been found i too small to accommodate its constantly in- 1 creasing business, and a move has, therefore, < been determined on. The spacions and eh- { gibly situated store at tho southwest corner t of Meeting and Market streets has been rent- c ed, and will soon be thoroughly overhauled t and prepared for use aa the Co-operative sales- 1 room.

Tlie Naval Stores Imbroglio; CHARLESTON, August 15,1868. To the Editor of the Charleston Daily News: I have delayed a reply to the several commu? nications that have appeared in your issue of he 11th inst, and Bince, signed "Tar Heel," tor the reason that I wish to give to the public i full and correct statement of charges made >n naval stores in Wilmington. If "Tar Heel" i ad displayed as much zeal in getting informa ion with regard to charges in Wilmington as io did in giving my charges to the public, here would not have been any necessity for a -eply to bis many communications. He would lave found the difference between my charges ind the charges in.-Wilmington were so slight hat it would not have been worth the notice >f those interested, and, consequently, he ffould not have seen the necessity of getting ip the "Tempest in a Teapot" that bas not con raised the community. "Tar Heel" gives my charge to the public as iixteen cents for inspection and cir saification ?gainst the charge of five cents in Wilmington 'or the same service. He does me great injus ice; I do not say from design. I am char table enough to conclude that it is from ignc .anco of the subject which he bas undertaken o handle. My charges cover not only classifi? cation of spirits turpentine, but cooperage, vhich means putting the article in good ship- - sing order, and necessitates an outlay of both : nateria! and labor, all of which I have to fur- t lieh. In Wilmington the gnager is the in? spector. When he hasguagod and classified 1 ;he turpentine, the packages are turned over ' ? the cooper, who makes his charge of "ten" sente-the lowest charge made there for put- J dng it in shipping order. The latter item, | rhioh is two-thirds of the entire charge, was , >mitted by "Tar Heel." I do not say inion- , ionally. My charges in comparison with Wil- j nington charges are one cent more per barrel han the lowest charge there for the same ser- , rice. I will here mention that with the gnag- i ng of spirits of turpentine I have nothing whatever to do; il is a separate and distinct sharge. The gnager here is able to paddle his j >wn canoe-can and will, I doubt not, vindicate r us own cause. "Tar Beel" says the charges i n Wilmington for inspection of crude turpen ine is three cents per barrel? In this he is in ?orrect; it is six cents; the buyer, however, laying this charge. But another very impor- j ant item overlooked by "Tar Heel" is a charge < if from ten to fifteen cents for cooperage, which ; he seller pays. For the information of "Tar leel," and others interested, I would state that. Qost, if not all, the crude turpentine shipped o Wilmingtoa ie consigned to the naval store 1 nspeclorsand sold by them. "Tar Heel" in- 1 brms the public that the inspector in Charles- 1 on does not charge for inspecting crude tur- . jentine, because he buys all that comgsj? the narkct. I deny tho latter charge with regard ; o the former. It I choose to serve the public i gratuitously in my' official capacity, it, is no i rosiness of .'.'Tar Heel." In this connection it < s proper to state that all but one of the distil ers of tor pent ino who signed the petition to .he Mayor and Council of the City of Charleston . or the appointment of an additional naval ; itore inspector, buy crudo -turpentine. Borne i >f them bay very largely. Who inspects and 1 veighs the turpentine bought'by these parties? < Mo one.bat themselves. "Tar Heel" forgot to ' nention thia fact -perhaps (?) he was not 1 iware of it. I am pleased to note the extreme 1 generosity ot "Tar Heel" in' correcting his ' statement in regard to my charges on rosin, ' md I think he might well have pursued his iourse a little farther in the same direction. [ desire to Btate that in regard to the charges . m rosin, that the twelve and a half cents men ioned by "Tar Heel'* for inspection and das- 1 lification, is not merely for the two items 1 nentioned, but also for weighing and cooper- ' ige, that is, putting it in completo shipping ' irder-a condition in which it seldom reaches ( his I market. Was the magnanimous "Tar , leel" aware of this ? The charges on rosin in Wilmington are higher than the writer has ;iven to the public, being eleven cents.' Mine ire twelve and a half cento, which is small vhen yon take into consideration that he receipt of naval stores at Wil oington are. nine times more than is ] eceived in Charleston. I am in receipt of ] , letter from Wilmington bearing directly on i hese points; and if the enterprising "Tar ' leek" or ?ny one interested in naval stores, 1 leeire information in regard to charges in Wil- ( nington, I shall be most happy to submit these e 11 ere to their examination. In reference to the - hi p m en t of naval stores by producers on the line if the Northeastern Railroad, I would re nark I hat small shipments may have been made to hat point. The motives prompting these hipments I will -not mention. In gome cases t was not to obtain "better prices." "Tar leel" would undertake to make the public be- g ?eve that naval stores cannot be shippped to j Wilmington from the line of the South Carolina I ?a?road. If I am not mistaken, there is aa utlet to Wilmington by that road. If there is ot, it has very rece?tly been dosed np; and, 1 udging from the fact that the South Carolina E tailroad made a very liberal deduction in their t' ates for down freight early in the season, I t tave not the slightest doubt bat that very bb- t ral arrangements could be made to ship the i ther way. There are only five or six distillers ? n that road between Kingsville and Charleston, o nd none doing a very large business except the 8 ne at George's Station. The proprietors of 1 hese have not, as I am aware of, ever q :>und fault with Charleston charges or prices. ' 'Tar Heel," in one of his communications, eke, after quoting the law on the subject of t ppointing and the duties of naval stores in- j poe tors, if the present incumbents have com- p ilied with the requirements of the law. I cao r ns wer, conscientiously, that I hive, as far as 1 understand it, to the letter. * Mr. Editor, I bave already, I fear, made this " OHimanioation too long; but I cannot close c rithout stating that it is a fact, beyond all dis- j ?ute, that a large majority of the distillers of j urpentine, in North SB well as in South Caro- j ina, have, since the war, lost money. Can this ( aisfortone be laid at the door of the Naval ( itore Inspector of Charleston? I presume that t his statement will be satisfactory to the pub- i io. As to "Tar Heel," allow me in conclusion to say, that" in return for the gocKl counsel he haB so generously beato wed, I would suggest, that whenever he desires so kindly to inform the public it would be well to first acquaint himself with the subject, and then I am sure that the value of the information be imparts would be infinitely enhanced by its freeness from error. I cannot too deeply appreciate the zeal be has evinced in the cause he has so un? selfishly espoused, and as a partisan of the interests of Charleston, I heartily commend him to the consideration of the public.

Since the lecease of the founder, the business has been con? tacted by bis sons and grandsons, under the old style of E. L Dupont de Nemours & Co. "The original works, on the Brandywine, com? menced operations in 1802, and have a capacity for producing five thousand pounds of sporting powder per day. "The middle, or Hsgly Works, commenced in 1812, iODspride two complete sets of works, in one en clo? rure, under a tall of twenty-two feet-so arranged hat both can work on the same description of pow 1er; or, if required, one set can manufacture one lind of powder, and the other set another Und; the two combined having a capacity of twenty-five thou und pounds of blasting powder per day. "The high reputatioueo long maintained for the Brandywine Powder is due to the care bestowed on its manufacture, and to the constant personal t u perri si on of the owners. The consumption of | saltpetre, the principal ingredient in the maniac rure, has been in a single year, including the Lu? cerne County mills, over seven millions of pounds, the bulk of which waa imported from Calcutta. The machinery in operation for the manufacture of gun? powder is driven by three steam engines and forty seven water-wheels, the greater part of which are Turbines. "The production of the mills ia principally con? sumed in the United States, the firm having agen- j des and magazines at all the most important points, trith a principal depot for the Pacific States at San Francisco, and agencies in South America, and in | the East and West Indies. "To Illustrate the progress which has been made In the manufactur? of powder in the United States, ic is only necessary to recall the fact that during the Crimean war the Allies, to enable them to prose? cute the siege of Seliastcpol, were obliged to procure large supplies of gunpowder in the United States, [one-half of which was furnished by the Brandy? wine powder nulls,) and that the American powder compared favorably with the best they could procure In Europe."

Every dty, every hour, every aoment, the flesh, the cartilage, bone and muscle of | he frame are wasting away, and being impercepti ily replaced by new material Health depends upon he nature of that material, and whether it shall be iure or diseased, full of vitality and elasticity, or coble and flaccid, depends mainly upon the action f the stomach, In warm weather the waste of the ystem is very rapid, and if lt ia not as rapidly re? tired by the great sustaining organ, the conse [uence is deb'Iity, emaciation and decay. It ia, here fore, of paramount importance that the :tom xh be kept in a vigorous condition at this trying sea on, and the safest, surest and best tonic that can ie employed for that purpose is HOSTET TEE'S SITTERS. This incomparable vegetable stomachic ives unwonted energy to the digestive powere, pre? notes the conversion of the food into healthful ilood (which is, so to speak, the raw material of all he solid portions of the body), and thereby puts the ystem in the best possible state of defence against ipldemic and other diseases. The strong require it o keep up their strength; the weak, to reinvigorate hem. It consists of the purest of all diffusive stlmu ants, charged with the juices and extracta of the nost genial roeta and herbs, and (s a permanent re? iterative-not a mere temporary excitant.
