I rn ANOTHER WEST END MILL.-Mr. Jobo H. Devereux petitioned Council some time since to be allowed ta purchase a water lot at the west end of Lyncb-street. This was granted, ind as soon as the preliminaries are completed Mr. Devereux proposes to ereot a large ma? chine shop for planing and moulding the wood? work used in the construction of houst. These mouldings are now procured from the .,orth, bul they can be finished in a better style and at cheaper ratcB in this city. The proposed improvement will cause the water lot in quos, tion to be filled up, and the buildings to be erected will furnish employment to numbers of now idle hands. - TEE TROUBLE AT- THE MAYOR'S COUBT ON 3 los DAY. -We are assured. hy a disinterested spectator that our account published yesterday of the arrest of Colonel A. H. Brown was in? correct in some particulars,. and did injustice to that gentleman.' It seems-that the ques? tion raised by Colonel Brown was in reference to. the power of the Mayor under the law to commit an offender to confinement, and ip no way related to the tenure by which Mayor Clark holds his office, or to his powers as com? pared with those of his predecessors in the Mayoralty. The objection of Colonel Brown was probably misunderstood by the 'Mayor, and taken in the latter sense. Our reporter was informed at the Guard? house yesterday morning .that the complaint against Colonel Brown bad been dropped. A NEEDED 1SD?ROVEMENT.-There are few of our streets upon which the travel is more heavy and constant than on Chapel, John and Washington-streets, in the vicinity of the Northeastern Railroad Depot, and few, it may? be added, are in a worse condition. In wet weather the mud is' almost impassable, while the heavy sand is at all times bard on horses. The cotton season will soon open, when the trafilo to and from the depot will be greatly in? creased, and some action should be taken by tho city authorities to have these streets im? proved, A petition was .sent to Council asking that the former plank road be rebid, but, on account of the absence of a money quorum, nothing was donkin the matter* This road is an absolute necessity, and should be com? menced at an early.; day.- The expense will hardly exceed five thousand dollars. THE COTTON CHOP IN -GEORGIA.-Oar ae? son nt s from Southwestern Georgia continue to be .very unfavorable. Tbe raina of the last j month have diseased the.cotton to averyl jonsiderablo extent. The Macon Telegraph says: "Planters complain much bf rust and I shedding, a nd, in the. ri ver and lower, tier of X)unties, the worm is doing a good deal of [ mm age. Half of what planters counted on ,wo months ago' is about the' estimate; - but we itill hope they will do. better. The best luck n Georgia cotton will be, in the counties lying mri h. of the .Centr?t and" Muscogeo Railroads, fho old Black Belt of Georgia wiri do pretty veil, and, with present prospects, yield within wenty-five to thirty-three and a third per lent, of anticipations. We dislike, of course, o deal in evil tidings, but we must respect the acts in the case. Good prices may compon? ?ate in rjart for short products." J jj - . ?f THE i WINCHESTER RL?XE is the. latest marvel j n tho-way ? of easily. : managed breech-loading breanne. Its construction is extremely sim? ile, yet it is the most effective weapon ever in .ented. ' A chamber on Ibu under "side of the: riece contains fourteen cartridges, which can te fired in quick succession without reloading.' Che. car bridges, are inserted near the breech, ?nd by the motion of a lever (the 'guard to the rigger), the loading is effected, the same pring throwing out the old cartridge and in erring another in its place. This gun can bo ired one hundred, and twenty, times in a min? to without any trouble, the only difficulty I eing to keep a sufficient supply of cartridge? nhand. It. is manufactured at New Haven, !onm,: from a pattern^furnished hy Captain rinches ter, the inventor, who gave his name j i the gnu. Messrs. Bissen ? Co. have ob tined the agency for this State, and will sell J ie rifles and carbines either singly, or to lube, at reduced rates. ..See their advertise tent m another column. THE NEGRO RIOT NEAR WALTERBORO'-THE lOLORID TBOOPS ClPTTJKE THE RIOTERS,-We ave obtained, from a-private letter, the parti ulars of the riot which took place near Bis* elTa s toro, on tho Savannah and Charleston iailroad, on Monday last. ? The disturbance id not end in any loee of life, but it proved lie existence ol a lawless and mutinous spirit J n the part of the negroes, and that the color d troops are ready to fire on their own race hen ordered to do sp. On Thursday lhere was a big speaking to lie negroes at White Hall, aud ou Friday ?r? ete were given that all the hands at Cypress, Lr. Lowndes', Mr. Warren's and at other laces, should meet at White Hall, under pain f arrest for not attending. On Sunday Mr. iissell and a Mr. Blair were called on by Mr. iampbell to go over to Lowndes' place, to pre ent a meeting which was to be held there. Ir. Campbell said that there was a company f negroes formed and armed, in readiness to tang, his negro foreman for whipping a little ioy, who went to sleep^nstead of attending to is basiness. The ? was only hit twice. J pon "consultation Mr. Campbell made an affi? ant of the facts, wbiob was taken by Mr. tissell to Walterboro', "twenty miles in two ours." The magistrate and sheriff could do o thing, but the Colonel commanding the post rdered down a detachment of twenty-five olored soldiers, who reached Bissell's store, t one o'clock on Monday morning. In the meanwhile it had been ascertained hat Mr. Campbell had rescued the foreman rom the mob, and that all the negroes on the lace were under arms. Daring the night the.negro sentinels notified neir leaders of the arrival of the troops, but t daylight the detachment made a dash upon ie party. There was a great deal of running nd screaming, ind some little firing. A good limy negroes wera captured with their captain. On Tuesday morning an attempt was made ? arrest Brutus Rutledge, the oaptain of the toto, but he was said to have gone to Walter oro' to give himself up. The writer in conclusion says : "All the ands are now at work; there will be no more ancor down hero for years to come." We have also received tho following informa-1 on: j On their way down the troop3 were fired at, , id reiurned the fire. They arrested ten or ] ore negroes, Upon the march back the ad- j mee guard was some distance in front of the , ain body. A negro preacher uamed Solomon j lears ran out from tho bushes in front ot the j 1 vaneo guard,ordoretl it to halt,and demanded { ie roleaso of tho prisoners. He had fifteen j (groes with him, and ordered them to fire j xm the guard when his demand was not ac >ded to. The main body of troops, however, J ,me up, and all t?ie negroes were quietly ar- . sted. We understand that tbe troops were t .ed on five times in aD, aud that altogether , renty-three negroes ware arrested. The col- ? ed troops behaved very welL Pompey GadUird,pne of the ringleaders, is the { tme negro who lias been advising the hands ou ^ ie Combaheo to strike for S2 a day wages. ? ro leam that tho sruard was set across tba f ranne to Mr. Nat. Hey ward's place, and no one 1 as allowed to go there to work because this ] l?dest request was not granted. ] OOUBTY CoHMisaiorais.-Tho bili to de the jurisdiction and duties of County Cocar sionera provides that they Bhall_have juris tion over roads, highways,, ferries and bridf . in all matters relating to taxes and disbm mente of moneys for county pSirposes, and other cases necessary-to-eounty internal provements and local concerns.

Al a rece meeting ao application was made by ii A. G. Melton, the former superint? dent, to lease the' premises for a term fifteen years. Inconsideration of a lease I proposed to furnish an engineer, workme tools, ftc., and to labor faithfully for Eix monti to remove all obstructions and complete tl unfinished well, tu the event of a sucoef that he will secure all tho water that can I obtained from the wells, and assume and p all charges and expenses accruing for nece sary reservoirs, pipes, buildings, ?cc. No eil zen waa to be deprived of the water for drin in g pur posos, and the street troughs were be kept as heretofore: Mr. Melton agreed pay the city one-half of the net profits roceivi I for the use and sale- -of the water, ai ?hat when the lease expired tho ci should pay one-half--of the value of tl improvements on the - premises. Th petition was reported on favorably at the tim bot further action was postponed until the lai meeting, when it came-op for considerate After some discussion on the propriety of ti city parting with its property, Alderman O lue moved that ten years be substituted for fifteei and the lease drawn ont by the City At torne; This was opposed by Alderman Weston an Wall (colored), who were the only alderme voting io the negative. The Artesian Well Uki for many years, been a hobby with tbe mnnici pal -authorities, and largo sams of money hav been expended in boring for water in the hop of obtaining a supply sufficient for all publi and private purposes* Major Welton bas bee: employed as engineer since the inoeption o tbe work, and is peiftapsrthe only person capa bte of bringing it to a successful conclusion His proposition relieves tho city of an incum brance, and if his plans are successful w?l for nish it with an additional income, and a never failing supply of pare wafer. The question o granting the lease has been agitated in Connci for several sessions, bot the action of Tuesday night settles the matter. A BEKAUKABLE BATE.-We o lip the fohowing account of a specimen ef American enterprise and ingenuity from - the New York Evening Poet, of 22d August: ''Some time since bur? glars succeeded, after a month of toil, in gain? ing entrance to the vault of one of our city banks by tunnelling a subterranean passage. Here they were foiled by a faithfully construct? ed safe, which secured the treasure. They left behind them co less than hah* a cart load of tools, worth a good many hundreds of dol? lars. Some bankers appreciate the value of sound con8tractioQ,-and show a liberality in expenditure that puts aU the burglars' arts at defiance. Tbe strong vaults in the new banking house of - Brown, Bros. & Co., with their massive safes, made of four inches thick? ness solid metal placed inside; the strong safe of the Manhattan Bank, of the Berne thickness of metal; and some others in this city, are no? table for the security they afford. "Messrs. Herring, Farrel & Sherman have jost completed a safe for the Tradesmen's Na? tional Bank of Philadelphia, which is worthy the especial attention of bankers, burglars and all others interested in such specimens of me? chanical ingenuity and skill. The safe, which is now on exhibition at the works of this firm, on the corner of Ninth avenue and Fourteenth street, measures about eight feet by six, and is composed of two burglar-proofs,- one within the other-the outer safe alone of which is four inches thick, solid wronght it on and steel, and the patent Franklinite or Spiegel Eisen, for which the Messrs. Herring & Co. hold the ex? clusive patent. The construction is as follows : First, there is an outer safe or casting of one half inch wrought boiler iron. Second, a safe of one-half inch stool bars close togeth? er and "crossing each other (being two thicknesses) at right angles. Third, a safe of patent Franklinite two inches thick, interwoven with wrought-iron wires or crossed rods, to resist forcing and drilling. Fourth, a one-half inch safe of steel and iron welded and tempered against the action of cut? ting-tools; and fifth aud last, another safe of one-half inch boiler iron. Within tho struc? ture, and filling a portion of the inside, is ano? ther safe composed of the same materials, two and one-half inches in thickness. Whilo aU the different lamina above mentioned aro made complete in themselves, they aro. so bolted and secured together as~to add protection to one another and form a combined solid as a whole. The corners aro air turned, revealing no joints for the chisel or the wedge. The doors arc pro protected by wedge-resisting joints of late in? vention. The bolt-bars are massive and of great numb.r, and these are again fastened hy? the most approved combination locks, whose shafts do not penetrate the locks themselves, but work them effectively and simply by a new patent gearing. A ll tbe leeks m the safe, and there aro three, are Uso made on the doub e principio, s . that thc >wner of tho safo is as weU protected against aeing himself ever locked out through any de? rangement which a lock might bo subject to, t's be is against tho burglars themselves. It nust not be forgotten that besides tho usual JOUB and screws which secure the dilToroyt Itrata of wrought iran audsieal and tlio patent Franldinito together, they aro titill further pro ected and strengthened by cjaic.il ol. a, tom? med, and .iade of steel and iro:i i tenninglod >r welded togother, which aro again fas:c!icd jy heavy nuts inside.
