with an engine, shall receive no compensation
until it obtains an engine.
Seo. 4. All ordinances and parts of ordi?
nances, end all roles and regulations of the
Fire Department repugnant to this ordinance,
be and the same are hereby repealed.
During Alderman Mackey'a remarks in sup?
port of the bill be paid a high compliment to
the efficiency of the Charleston Fire Depart?
ment, stating that his reason for withdrawing
the sections relative to establishing a Board of
Colored Firemasters was because the presi?
dents of the oolored companies desired li?
the prosent white department was not only a
very efficient organisation for ?ts purpose, but
he recognised it as a m ?st efficient political or?
ganisation-an organisation which had bid de?
fiance to the oity authorities. The white de?
partment, said he, was now guilty of an injus?
tice to the oolored firemen in paying them as
if they were slaves-paying them twenty-five
cents an hour when at work. He claimed that
as the wheels of their engines rolled as swiftly
to a fire as those of the whites, and their arms
were as muscular and folly as willing to work,
they shoo ld be allowed some compensation for
their labor and hardship.
The title of the bill Vas changed so as to
read, "A bill to declaro certain fire companies
a part of the Fire Department, and to regu?
late-the compensation of the same;" then read
the third time, and ordered to be engrossed
for ratification at the next meeting.

THE Puta AT THE STONEWALL Exonrx Hooss.
The inves'igation into the origin of the fire at
the Stonewall engine house was resumed, by
Assistant Engineer B. M. Alexander, yesterday
afternoon, in the law office of Messrs. Buist &
Buist.
Henry White, member of oolored Fire Com?
pany No. 5 was near the engine house on the
.night of the fire, and when the alarm of fire
was given rushed around to the eugine house
and found the door shut. When it was opened
by Mr. Wagoner, with an axe, he went in. and
noticed that thero was fire in the rear and on
left side of the building. He assisted io tawing
the reel out of the house. When he attempted
to reel off the hose he fonnd it tied*, The rope
was cut. Atter nearly every revolution of the
Spool it stopped and a rope had to bo cot be?
fore any more bose could be reeled off.
John H. Gilbratb, colored, substantiated the
statement of White.
Mr. Tho?. E. Strother, hearing the alarm of
Ire, went on the pavement sod noticed a light
at the Htonewall Engine Boase, and went tber?
sot? ww a man trying to knock the door down
with an exe. When the door was opened, he
went in ana noticed that the left-hand closet
was oo fire. He t?en helped to bani the engine
to the wall. The ree? was then brought np.
He did not know anything ??out the reel being
tied.
Mr. i. W. Thames Was wi h Mr. Strother
when h3 went to the engine house. He noticed
that the reel was tied, or entangled, he con ld
not say which. Tbe rope had to be out before
the hose could be used
Mr. Alexander, after a careful review of the
testimony, gave it as bis opinion that the fire
was the work of an incendiary.
Aictrsrjncrrs ron TH H Wurr SB SEASON.
There is every prospect that Charleston, this
winter, will be unusually gav. and we are glad
to find that there is every dis DOSI tien, OD the
p rt of persons in authority, to offer concert
and theatrical companies every proper induce?
ment to make our city a visit. Tbe Bibemiaa
Society, for instance, are remodelling and en?
larging the stage of their specious theatre,
and are adding new scenery and appointment?.
When those improvements are completed, the
Hibernian Hall Theatre wi i be able to do lull
jo.j.Iice to bo b performers and public.
A numD r ot engagements for thc use cf the
hall have already bean made.
The seuBou will be opened on OcloberAby
the O. B. Collu.s and Kate Raymond Dramat.c
Company, which has been playing succjSifully
in thu North. Their season will last two
weeks.
After the deportare of the Collins and Bay
mood Troupe, the Skiff A Gaylord Minstrels
will have a season of one week.
lu November the Masonic Fair will tale
place, lasting one ?hole week. Trie whole of he
Hiberninn Holl building haa been engaged fer
the purposes ot the fair, which promises to te
very attractive.
On Novemoer 29. the Ford Dramatic Com?
pany y including the Chapman sisters w U
open at the Hibernian Hall and play tor oi e
week. Mr. Ford is au old theatrical manager,
and has a first-rate company. Lasi-season . e
charmin? (.'hariman sisters played m Sfoptuein
cities to crowded houses.
On December 6 the Laura K?eno Dram if ?
Company will mike their first anpearaticp.
They will remain here two weoks. Lana
Keene has a wido reputation as an ac i ess,
and abe will not play unless she is supported
by a good company. Other engagements are
expected to be made, but, enough has been
said to show that Charleston will be *-merry
place to visit this coming winter.
DEDO LABELS.-Wa desire to call the atten?
tion of draggle ts in the city ?ad throughout
tbe State to the peculiar facilities of TBXNZWB
Job Office for printing all kin da of drug labels,
presenptiOH blanks, etc., at the shortest no?
tice, aafl" in a style unsurpassed anywhere in
the country. Oar stock of cats, borders and
fancy type is unusually large and choice. Call
and examine specimens of work.
CRUMBS.-George L. Richardson and Pom?
pey Virgil were before the Mayor yesterday
for fighting. Richardson was fined fire, and
Virgil ten dollars.
Mr. George W. Pemberton was the "first
man" at the Stonewall engine house, on the
night of the fire.
Mr. Goodwyn, special agent of the Treasury
Department for the districts of Virginia and
North Carolina, who bas been here for several
days past instructing the new Customhouse
officers in their duties, will leave in a day or
two.
Why does not the derk or Council read
the petitions and communications sent into
Council?
Parties have offered to rebuild the Stonewall
engine house-one for $365, another for $139,
and another for $575. *
A Hasoio DBED.-We are informed that at
the time that Mr. Jnngbluth's two sons and a
boy named Meyer were straggling in the water
off Sullivan's island on Sunday, a Mr. Fergu?
son, who was wanting on the beach, be ard
their cries and at. once ran to their aid. Seeing
the peril of the boy-, he sprang into tbe water
without even throwing off his clothes. Tbe
battle for life was a hard one, and more than
once Mr. Ferguson was in imminent danger,
but he succeeded at last in saving the elder
Jungbluthand Meyer. Mr. Ferguson himself
was so exhausted that it was feared he would
not recover, and we learn that he is still in a
precarious condition If this information be
con ec t, Mr. Ferguson? bas cone an act of
heroism wbich in Francs would probably
bave given bim tbe ribbon of the Legion
'^honneur, and in England the medal of the
Hamane^toiety.
if ?I ' -? - :. i
incoara. RETURNS.-From a list of income
returns published in the Savannah Advertiser
we glean the following tacts in relation to the
wealth of Savannah: Fifty . two per sons re turn
incomes of Ave thousand dollars and upwards,
ranging as high as two hundred and three
thousand seven hundred and' fifty dollar*.
The largn majority return Incomes of a little
over one thousand dollars. Printers, with one
exception, are very, poor, and return no in?
come at all. Doctors are also an impecunious
class,^nd work day and night without accu?
mulating a large fortune. Lawyers are not
overburdened with la/ge tncomes, which may
be owing to the backwardness in clients in not
setting ap promptly. Editors amt worth a
continental-feing even poorer than ?arinlero.
The richest man in Savannah belongs to the
m?ioantiole profession. One widow returns
nineteen thousand and forty-six dollars in?
come.
RELICS OF COLONIAL TUDU.- The Augusta
Chronicle says : "We were shown, yesterday,
by James McAndrew, Esq., three rare old
coins, which were found by a laborer whilst
working in the excavation and building the
tidal drains in Charleston, S. C., i rr 1856. The
?aid coins were found ina monnmonterected
at the comer of Broad and Meeting streets,
near St. Michael's Churob. in honor cf William
Pitt, Prime Minister of England, in the reign
of George the Third. These coins, although
immured for upward of a century in the corner?
stone of said monament, are in a fine state of
preservation. One gold British coin, about
the? size ot an American dollar, has on it the
imajTi' and a tamp of George tne 1 mr j. on
the reverse side is tbs crown, harpfjihistleand
rose-date 1762. The two others are copper
ooins- a cent and half cent. havint>tue image
of the first George of England; on tho reverse
Bide is the picture of a rose, with the initials
'Rosa Americana uiUe, dulcet-date 1722.
These copper coins are alco well preserved,
and worthy the inspection of antiquarians."
