UKA000TJ5TED FOE.-For aboat sa hoar Fri ?Uy night .there were plainly h aa rd in the city reports of beary guns in qmck succession.

M.Sat? urday, with a view ot rcudenug assistance in -case it was needed. Sha returned it 6 o'clock, baying seen nothing. Tbe steamships which arrived Saturday report nothing oomaal, and the cauic of the tiring yet remains a mystery. THX CausrfioBT. -This floe steamship, of the Adgerlioe, arrived at this port at an early boar on Saturday morning. The Champion sailed from Nsw York ou Saturday, the 81st ultimo, but broke her crank-pin off the Capes ot Dela? ware, snd put'back to New York. Anew pin was turned and put in place, and the ship sailed again on Wedna* day afternoon, arriving on Sat? urday, as stated. The trip was a pleasant one In every respect, and the passengers-al] of whom, with one e:ception, remaiued aboard from Saturday, the 81et,to Saturday last-highly appr?ci?te the many attentions shown them by the officers of the sb ip. Capt. B. W Lockwood was as ever, indefatigable io bis devotion to his dutiei, and to hie skilful seamanship and great eueigy it is mainly due that the accident 4|ready meutionol o tused no alarm, and that the Champjou was soon io a positio . to mako an? other start for Charleston. Ibo Champioadis? charged ber caigo ou Saturday, took aboard tho freight which was a*ai iug her, and sailed yesterday for New YorK with a crjwd of passen? gers. tm R mr, TUT BIOPMB.

The aoooont in Saturday's Nowa of (ko re torn ot Richard Murphy, who left his wife and five children, eloped with a young married woman who had been in his employ, remained away two daya <->nd returned within aeren mites of tbe city on the South Carolina Railroad train Friday afternoon, cloded with the state? ment that Mrs. Murphy bad left in a carriage for the place where her husband was last seen, being bent, as she stated, apon attending to the matter herself withont tho aid of the law, and loaring a doctor a bill upon the woman that bad come between her and ber husband, meaning thereby thai she would go for the woman and lesxe her in such a oondi'ioo as would require the attendance of a physician, and consequently make her have a bill to pay. When Murphy and the woman got off of the car at the Seven-mil o pnmp, it was raining very hard; but no tb ins- daunted, they started to walk to to wa-he evidently believing that it was best to-make gradoal approach eu upon the city wherein bved his deserted wife, whom, be hod no doubt, was ve ry angry. it the Four milo pump he was very mncb surprised to be accosted by his wife, who bad come ap in a carriage.

At last accounts he was walking about the oily, telling those who re quested bim to go home that he would go wheat he-pleased. THB SOLAS EoUPS*.-Punctual to the timo announced in the almanac, the eclipse of the sun took place oa Saturday afternoon. Tho weathe- waa fine, and that portion, at least, of tba heavens In which the performance was to take place, was as cloudless as could be wish? ed. Far at least half of an hour after the eclipse began, there was no perceptible dimi? nution of the fanlight. So intense is tbe light of the san that one-sixth of its disc, remaining uneclipsed, will give ont rays enough to read or work by with ease. Ab jut six o'clock, ho tr? ever, the obscuration bad become sufficient to be generally noticed, the light being of a strangely pale and sickly hne, and of about the power of that usu? ally seen at early twilight. Multitudes of gazers were seen everywhere, at win? dows, on piazzas, in the streets and on the bat? tery, most of them armed wrth smoked or col? ored glasses, opera glasses or perforated cards. After six o'clock the light mpidly recovered its power, a* d before seven had become as power- ? fol aa it usu illy is at that boar. The perform? , anco on the whole, though strictly coi rec t, and according to Miller, was generally roted by those ?ho watcheJ it. a disappointment and a \ bore. Our neighbors in North Carolina eojoyed a i total eclipse, and that the readers of THE NOWS . may know what it was like, we copy the follow- \ ing from the Wilmington Journal of yester- < day : I No sight of more sublimity or grandeur j Bould possibly have been imagined than the ( eclipse presented yesterday. Business was for the time suspead?d, and every inhabitant, large and small, gazed with silent awe upon this wonderful phenomenon, one of tbe grand? est on record. The very breath seemed sus? pended during the total phase, and tbe mag? nificent sight was witnessed with reelings im- 1 possible to describe. Admiration, awe, won- | der, curiosity and delight were ali singularly blended, and the scene was well calculated to awaken such feelings. 1 At a few minutes past five o'clock the eclipse j commenced. Those who watched its progress , through smoked glasses could see the body of the moon gradually shutting out the bright circle of the sun, and casting its shadow upo u the earth. Tn about thirty minutes the Ban was hilf eclipsed, and ata few minot is past six o'clock 'he eclipse was total. Io the mean- ' time the earth grew datk, and as the light of ' day became obscured by this premature dark- i ness, the atmosphere grew cool and a chilly , feeling swept over us. The thermometer fell four degrees, and the wonderful change was everywhere apparent, and even the chickens began to prepare for sleep, and actually went , to roost. The darkness was that of early night, bat not so great as actual night lighted br the moon, lt seemed a premature and unnatural i darkness, and one that could be felt. The total eclipse laste 1 for the space of three minutes. The sieht was one then tot j the naked eye. The body' ot the moon fully obscured tbe sun, and around its edee was a crimson circle from whiob mellow rays shot forth. Upon the rower edge of the moon ap? peared a considerable spot or gap, turon eh which a deadened lieut was seen. In other parts of this planet and within tho circle were ? to be seen two or three small spots through , whiob the light penetrated as through a Teil. Several stars made their appearance bright in the beaven s and the firmament denoted night. While the ea ze ot all.humanny was thus fixed i trag sun besan to emerge from tho eclipse. The first flash of his bright' and golden rays apDcared suddenly, and be seemed rapidlv to I emerge from the shadow. The dazzling effect ; was not immediate, but that portion of tho sun's surface first see i appeared Uko liquid 1 fite, and rays shot forth beautiful and in tbe I beighth of splendor. Been with the naked eye . thia liquid fire, as it were, seemed in commo? tion, fud it was an optical delusion with some for an instant, that tbe two heavenly bodies bad come in con tao t and one was oonsnmin ; *be other. And the sight was grandly sr : -ne and the wonders of the works of Clod wen. ? ..ly manifested to our awe-stneken gaze. The passage of the sun tro ra eclipse seemed quite rapid and soon interest was lost. The earth resumed its wonted appearance, the sir again warmed, the pulFC of nature was renew? ed, and the cheerful light of day reappeared. Scientific men all over the hne of country tn whioh the eclipse was visible have made ex? tensive observa tiena, and will publish them for the baoefit of the world. The appearance of the moon was no doub' accurately photograph? ed for preservation. lu vntnossing th s sight oar irajcd 'generation has been extremely fortunately._ CKTJMBJ.- The Cai ted States Court will mset to-day.

The remains were in? terred in Magnolia Cemetery. Tbe flags of the shipping io port were dis? played at half-mast Saturday in token of re? spect to the memory of the deceased. A BB I VAL OF THE STEAK VlSLZ ENGINE FILL? MORE -Messrs. W. L. Bessermaa, W. J. Farr, H. N. Hill and D.

They came in :harge of their steamer, the Fillmore, which they shipped to Now York Saturday afternoon io have repaired, * he having sustained injuries luring the tnp to Atlanta last May. We learn that the South Carolina Railroad, aith its accustomed liberality, agreed to trans? port the Fillmore fire engine to Charleston free of charges, and the Morgan Line of steam? ers from thence to New York on the same liberal terms. The members of t ie Palmetto Company took the detachment in ch arge; Rn d treated them as ?remen know how to do. The detachment re? turned home last night. A DRUNKEN MAM Pur TO USE.-What to do with drunken men has been the anxious in? quiry over since men have been iu the habit of making beasts of themselves, and yet no definite answer bas been given. But on last Saturday afternoon one drunken white man was put to uso. He was reeling along, throw? ing bricks and alones, mach to the annoyance of passers by. A shrewd individual, whe waa about to budd upon his lot and wanted the stones and bats cleared away, observing this fellow, seduced bim into the lot, set np a tar? get-an old kettle on a stick-in an adjoining lot, and told him to fire away, which he did with so m.ch earnestness that iu fifteen or twenty minutes there was not a missile on the lot. The target was not hit. Tho throw? er, desiring to tear down tbe palinga for am? munition, was ohecked, and he was sent off a tired but apparently a happy man. THE SAVANNAH CLUB AND THE BAND WILL COME ON SATURDAY NEXT.-Mr. B. F. McCabe, President of tbe Carolina Club, returned from Savannah on Saturday afternoon last, where be bad been to make arrangements for the visit of the Savannah Club. He states that he finally succeeded in persuading the members out of tbe idea that tho Carolina Club must visit them before they would return to Charles? ton, and they promised to come, aud bring the band with them, on Saturday afternoon next. lhe Savannah Club practica every after? noon, and are getting themselves io splendid trim for the coming contest. The Carolina Club must do likewise. It will meet for prac? tice at the foot of Broad-street, at four o'clock this afternoon. We leam that the savannah Club refused to come last Saturday beeauae they could not bring the band with them, as the woundod members bad not fully recovered, nor bad their ruined instruments been replaced.

Bat ibero are -emin statements therein which re? quire nohow, not boca ase tbey will a flea t ma here, but tu.,y mislead those ?bo are sot aa sonveraant ai my immediate follow-aitisens are of tbo facts. In commenting oa my oommaaioation of Aogost 3 Dr. ilackey saya ; "In that commun ?ca'ion, extending to the lene th of two columns and a half. 1 bara look? ed m vain for any substantial defence against tbe charges preferred by me. Bo mikes no denial ot my charge that, he carno to this city, originally, as a dovont admuer of the old slave power of the Sooth, and that he was chosen as a teacher by our commissioners, from among hm Northern eimpetitoni, because snob was his oharaoter. " Be says nothing of his former or present affixations with the Democratic party. He does not disclaim that bis chief counsellor at th day is a leading Democrat of this city. And he takes especial caro to bo silent about my allusions to bis * sharp practico ' in referen oe to the bills of tho Bans of the a tate." i To thia I reply : 1st. That, it is no secret that whoo I carno South Carolina I was a Democrat of what was known aa the "Doughs sohoo?;" never "admirer," "devout" oi otherwise, "o. tba old ; alare power ot the Sooth " nor in any otht sense a pro-slavery mau than as oem; willing to .Jbide by t?o Constitution of tho United j Htatos so far as it related to slavery. 2i. Tn nt I computed with u o body for the pos";on to whtoj I was invited; but that I ac? cepted thc place when tendered to me. without solicitation or seeking n-> my part. Wait mo? tivos govornud tho commissioners io giving that invitation, is bettor ku OTU to them than to mo. 1 vcr* naturally was convinced by their action that they thought me flt for my dane* 3d. rueio was no need for mo to say any thing abont "present affiliations with the Dem ocntio party;" for I haro had no euoh "affilia nous" sinoo 1860. No sot or word, done spoken by me, shows a particle of svideooc such a cit argo. 4 to. I have taken no counsel in political matters of soy Democratic leader sinoo m abandonment of tho Democratic party in 1860 Dr. Mackey V assertion is a baso slander. He should bo aware that there are Bppubiioana who neither bair iy nor propose to ba ray their party, and who yet are not personally odious to. or malignant toward, their political opponents as to forbid social or business reis tions. 5th. I said nothing about "sharp practice in c mnoction with the billa of the Bank of the State, lor Hie obvious reaeou that no such prac tioe existed on my part. I saw no connection betwo n that subject and my action ia regard to the collectorship of this por -, and thoanh may be consonant to Dr. Mackey \s ideas what belongs to a "Carolina gentleman" to drag into this discussion purely private s fairs, and tbongb, BO tar as I am concerned the whole world may know the history of my relations to the Bank ot the State, I regarded the allusion to the matter as completely out of place in Dr. Mackey'* speech, as it would be for me to say in this letter that Dr. Mackiy did not pay tor his famtlvflour, were auch tbe fact. Dr. Mackey continues : "Instead of this, which alone would have boen relevant to the subject of discussion, bo indulges in a ?tram of personal invective and scurrility, in which, as a 'Carolina gentleman (a term which be applies to me with a sinister malice) I cannot attempt to compete with bim 1 presume that a 'Massachusetts gentleman would bo as adverse as myself to tbe use of euch weapons, borrowed from the armory ot Billingsgate. -'His only a tempt, except by unsupported assertions, to place himself in tho Bepuolicau rank?, ia by an appeal to the record ot bow he stood in tho rebellion. This certainly has LO thing tn do with his claim to Republicanism now. But I apprehend that if he bad at the time belonged to that party, be would have been found, at the very commencement of the rebellion, rather in the army of 'ho repuolic fighting for the life of the nat iou, than remain ing among its enemies and t icking up a little addition to bia income by indulging in th? un patriotic business of running tbe blockade ut the expense of Ibe revenues of the United States, at tho same lime that he gave 'aid and comfort' to thc Confederacy. Knowing OB I did how easily he could have left the city at that limo knowing that he and other Northern men had oeen invited by the authorities to depart from tho Confederacy, unless they were willing to become its citizens, and knowing, too, that he had no ties of property or kindred to bind bim to the State, not only I, but some others who saw hts stalwart form and soldierly bear in cr at the U ion Club, often thought that he was the right man in tho wrong place. If every son of Massachusetts had been inspire J with the feeling of loyalty that, actuated the course of Mr. Sawyer, that noble old State would have bad no such glorious record as that wbicb his tory now gives of its part ia crushing the re hellion " To which I say : 1st. That Dr. Mackey, in his speech of the 28th ultimo, as well as on many other public and private occasions, has ebown that ho is a master in the arte ot "personal invective" and "scurrility." It is therefore with diffidence that I dissent from au opinion expressed by one who should bo so good a judge, and feel compelled to say that a careful re-readiug of my former communicatiou fills to sustain the charge. 21. I mado no "attempt" "lo place myself ia toe Republican ranks,' "by an appeal to the record of bow I stood in the rebellion." "This certainly, has nothing to do with my claim to Republicanism now." 3 J. Tbs c'.iargo ot "aid and comfort to tho rebellion by blockade runninw," is stale 1 bat charge, with othi-ra equally uotouuded. was mide bv Dr. Mickey's tr?enos in July, 1868, be? fore tho United States Sauste, who, with all the facts before them, with no word of explan? ation from me to a sinele senator, refused oy a decisive roto oven to refer it lo a committee, although Ibo ears of roany of them had been poisoned, or attempted to be poisoned, by men who, if not my enemies, were certainly Dr. Mackeys especial friends. The charge and refutation are on the journal of the Senate. It Dr. Mackoy wishes to revive it, he is at lioorty to do BO. 4: b. There were two good reasons why I did not leave South Carolina and the late so-called Confederacy, after the proclamation of Mr. Jefferson DaviB. ' The first was that dur? ing the period of forty days allowed for such departure, I bad two children very ill, one at tho point of death; de? parture willi my family would have been a physical impossibility without the risk of death; departure willioul my family would have been inhuman. Tue seoond reason, and a cood reason, was that I did bot reooeoiao Mr. Jefferson Davis* riebt to dictate to me. a citizen of tue United States, when or whither I should remove. Did Dr. Mackey recognize BUcii a right ? Why did he not go ? 5th. I left the * Confederate States" at tho first moment when it was practicable for me to co away, and thought, when at the mid? night preceding roy departure I opened my doora to shelter Dr. Mickey and h.a family, who bad been frightened from their own house by shells, I was admitting a roan who bad more sense of propriety, and more renard for consistency, than to attempt to cast imputa? tions upon tho loyalty ot a man for who-o faith? fulness to the government he himself ha< given sworn tcs?imouy bef uro the Courts of tho Uni? ted S ates. But we live aud learn. Orb. lt, perhaps is not t!0ces3ar.y lo tell any? body else tut Ur. Mickey that a mm could hardly be in two puces at onco; but ibis may account to him lor mv not beiug tu the United States arm?, oven ?ere there not other very good reasons for it. I quote again : "I shill make no reply to Mr. Sawyer's de? fence of Mr. Clark. It Mr. Clark is competent to discharge tho duties of a collector of cus? toms, he must certainly he able to defend him? self; when be does BO (if he ever ooea) it will be time enough for me to pay my compliments to him. I s?outd like to bear him deny, in bis owu person, the charge that he sought the nomination of the Democratic party for tho Mayoralty." My remarks, in relation to Mr. Clark were in reply to tho chargo that my influence had boon given to place a Democrat in office, and were entirely germane to the matter. It is certain that Mr. Clark is abie to defend himself, and Dr. Hacket dies not deny that ho . s ured Mr. Clark himself that he (Dr. Mackey ) voutd sunport bim for tho Mayoralty. I call attontio ? to ibo rollo ring : .Mir. -awyer.insinuates that 1 belong to a 'little kuot of Sou heru-bom men who recently prdpos id to each other to ignore and put down men not ot S >utlierti birth." "1 suspect that Mr. Siwyer bas hero drawn upon his imagination or ms invention. I li now ot uo such "knot of Southern born men.' and have heard ot no such proposition. Aa far as I am concern? d it is simply absurd." Di" Mickey is swift to deoy what I did not .hiff?. ISM? he ? seeaoed to be* of tho "uV Ue knot," ?c. I only know that -eomo persons ?cry Df-sr Dr. Hacker. ?nd whose sots oro tensity in harmony with Dr. Itseke/B views, did belong to that "little knot." It is pleasant ta know that Dr. Hockey himself has a better policy ia this matter than some of those ?rho are generally regarded as his exponento. It is ?ntortomate for the ox collector that his coarse has bees sa?h that those who are has 'warmest and traest friends in the B?pub~ Loan partv" are nat. those whose birth and breeding bare beenin bis neighborhood. Is ?ksjpxsible that th<ve who know hiss, best are those who least lore and esteem him f I trust not. Strangers often misunderstand us, hut il is sad. indeed, wtieu those wno alwavs havo known us withhold the neighborly and friendly rogard rtn'ch so sweolens ure. A few words more, and I will not weary your patience longer. Dr. Mackey says: .To me al) honest LVpub icanB are the same, no matter from what State they may come. I do not denounce air. Sawer beoause Massa? chusetts gaye bim birth, but because the po? litical oonrse he is hero pursuing, it pursued at Boston, would meet with the s ;mo just retri? bution that Sontb Carolina will yot award to him." Mow, in Boston when they have a genuine Bepublicau as collector, they exoeot him to take bis subordinates from the Bepnblicsu party.* That is just what I wished Dr. Mackey to do; bat ho not only would not do this, bat he would insist that men who did not rote at all, or voted the Democratic ticket, or voted GO secretly hat nobody knew how they did note, were "good Repablicaue." I bope the Dec or will not be anxious about the .?retribution" I shall get. Chanty begins at home. I havo done. Not Tillingly havo I trcsposse I thus I ir on vour soaoe. ibis doses the con? troversy on tm part. 1 bavo uo reply to make to an; thing else in Dr. Mackeys speech or hii letter. FBKDEBICK A. SAWTEB.
