ALMOST A RIOT Barwen SOLDIEBO AND Na - OBOES.- Nearly every night, for some time past, soldiers of tba Citadel garrison and ? a number of negro women have been io the habit of congregating m the square on Ann-street, and creating a great deal of noise , -making themselves obnoxious to allin that ; neighborbood. and especially to the negro men. On Thursday night a number of the se? rgio mea assembled and threw bricks at the -soldiers, who returned the oom pl ment,' a ?brick from one o? them severely injuring a ne? gro. He immediately commenced to yell at the top of his voioe, "murder," "fire," "help," "murder." He contined these cries until a large cread of his allies collected in tbs vicinity, two hundred or more of them. While they were ex I cited ly discussing the affair a negro fired a pis? tol at the soldiers. This created intense ex? citement,- sad bat for tho wise counsels of three or four of the negroes a riot would have ec .ensued, which, doubtless, would have resulted io bloodshed.

High words at Arsten ?sued, and there was every indication that there would be something more than a war of words, but one of them "Looken on earth, sea and say. As things he might never see again," If he got into a row, ano he came down a little from his 'high horse," as soon did the other. In a few moments more, both again became excited, Imt at last they separated, without Mows, to cool .-ft. The whole affair was very much like that described by Dickens, as oc? curring between Mr. Gappy and Mr. Corina. Mr. Corine on meeting Mr. Gtrppv, accu-ed him of hiving do-io something wrong, to which Mr. Guppy rep ied: "Who said so?" To which Mr. Co vina replied: "I said so." To which Mr. Guppy replied: "Oh 1" To which Mr. Cents replied: "Indeed." Both then became so much excited, that they found it necessary to walk off io opposite directions to get cooL MEETING OT TBE CHAMBEE OF COM? MERCE.

Mr. James T. Welsman. in behalf of the committee on the memorial of the pilots, read the following report, which, on motton of Mr. Ravenel, WM unanimously adopted : The com mi'tte appointed by the Chamber, to who m was referred a communication fr >m the pilots of Charleston, setting forth the evils re? sulting from the present mode of licensing pilots under a commission appointed by Uov errror Scott, respectfully report, that satisfac? tory evidence has been furnished your commit? tee that a majority of tbe board of commis? sioners above referred to bare not been seafar? ing mea. nar hare they had tbat experience, .a navigators., which ii necessary to enable them properly'to judge of the qualification of applicants for licenses. Some of the appointments under this board, in the opinion of yonr committee, have been unwise and injudicious. Foll and Mme Feet Branches have been granted to in comp?tent parties, notwithstanding the dissent and pro? test of the only member of the commission who was qualified to judge of the claims of applicants; and your committee have been sur? prised to learn that this member ot the com? mission, wbo was a seafaring man and h flt st? ol >BS pilot, has recently been removed from office by his Exoellcncy the Governor. These acts are calculated to impair the con? fider, co of merobaots and underwriters, as well aa ship-owners and masters of Teasels, in tbe J skill and efficiency of the pilots for this port; and has bad the tendenoy of creating d sgnet and dissatisfaction among the old experienced pilots, who bave felt a just pride in tho welt earned reputation wtr.ch, as a body, they have heretofore e joyed.' If by the incompetency of pilots the naviga? tion of our bar and harbor is made more prc ca? ri ms, the repntatioj of our port will be serious? ly affected and it is not unreasonable to appre? hend that a more open and less hazardous har? bor along; our seacoast may be selected for the purposes of commerce, thus completing the downfall of our city's prosperity. Your committee have had placed in their bauds two communications from masters ot vessels, declaring tbe iooompeteucy of several of these recently appointed pilots, and both of | these mas era assert, that when coining ap to the quarantine ship they fel* constrained to re? sume the command of their Teasels, takine the responsibility of heaving them to, and also working them, and this while their vesse s were under the charge of ! these incompetent appointees; and yout com- | m it toe has this day been furto tr informed that a recent appointment has been made of a per? son who baasarved au apprenticeship ot flrteen months only on board of one of our pilot boats, and who, in tbe opinion of experienced pilots, is entirely incompetent to discharge the du? ties he has assumed, and would not be trusted by them with the oborge of their boats. The ordinances ot the oity under which, un? til recently, all matters relating to the licen? sing and government of pilots were provided for, required that a system of apprenticeship should be sustained, wbich, as a preparatory school, worked admirably in fliting candidates for their examination, and for the discharge of tbe responsible duties which they were eventually to assume. These wise requirements, by which noue but those who bad served a certain period of time aa appreutioes. and had pissed sn exami? nation before com pete u| seafaring men, could receive a brauch as pilots, have b*en ignored by the appointment of these inexperienced aud incompetent com io issi juote. Nor has the act of Apsembly, passed in S.ip ember. 1868 pro? viding for tbe appointment of these commis? sioners, been properly respected, inasmuch as the act declares tbat the board shall consist of three seafaring men. and that the pilots ap? proved and appointed by them shall be gov? erned by the laws heretofore in force, it not tu consistent witb the present constitution or provisions of the act. It does not appear to your committee that these requirements of the act, as to the con? struction of the board or commissioners, and the enfoioement of our salutary laws in rela? tion to the bnjiness of pilotage, hare beeu carried out in good faith. The act authorized the Governor to appoint three commissioners for tbe entire State, ind to them are delegated the power to grant li? censes for pilots of the four classes, for the whole seacoast of Sont h < arolioo, and ?? the navigable streams and rivers io tbe 8ta e. In thswjpinionor your committee, this aol should be repeated, and each seaport should be allow? ed, os heretofore, to regulate the mode of ex? amination, licensing and government of its own pilots; and that the ordinances of the Cit? of Charleston bearing upon this subject should be allowed to have 'till force and effect. In conclusion, your comm ttoe recommend that a memorial te sent from thia Chamber to the Goverrjor, asking that he recommend to the Legislature, at its earning sessioB, the repeal of the act above referred to. (Signed) S. Y. TCFFZA. J. T. WELSMAN. A. L. TOBIAS. Mr. W. G. DeSaussare, Chairman of Commit? tee on the Beach Island Channel, submitted the following report: To Ou President and Members of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce. The committee to whom was referred the subjjot of examining the Beach or Sullivan's Island Ghanueh report: That having communicated with Commander Stooe, United States Navy, who is charged with the duty of su penn to tiding the removal of the wrecks, not a.one ii tbe Beach or Sullivan's leland Channel, but also the other wrecks in and around Charleston harbor. Monday. 19. h July, was appointed as the day on wtiicn to examine the B acb Channel. Commander Si one was prevented from personally attending, but was represented by Captain Perry, oommxud ins one of the buoy tenders. The committee, together with Captains Bell and Joues of tho pilot boats Pride and Wild Cat, and Captain Perry, of the buoy tender, proceeded io ex? amino tbe Beach Channel at very nearly the 1 ^w water. The examination was maae bv running Unes upon the beach ahore of the ch ai mci in midway, and alon? the shore ot Drunken Dick Shoal. After these three lines were mu, the soundings were taken in diaconal Unes across the channel-way. A rough draft of | the channel-way and of the soundings ?8 hereto annexed. The mean soundings in the shoalest part of tbe chamiel ivay proper was about eleven feet, and this was but for a very short distance; the greater pan of the channel showed a mean low water depth of over thirteen feet. Tue greater part sf the channel- .vav has an increase of Water avor what waa then- jast priir to the late war, tod but fur the obstructions hereafter men? tioned, it won d present the shortest, safest und most accessible outlet and entrance to the port ot Charleston. The" obstructions referred to consist of soma eight or ten blockade run? ners which got ashore, some on Drunkej Dtok Shoal, some on Sullivan's Island Beuch, Borne on the Bowman Jotty. Thee wrecked steamers bave formed, to a gr ater or lesser degree, bulkheads, which have prevented the scouring effect of the tides and have thus accumulated sand beds around them. The steamers wreck id upou the Jetty and upon Drunken Uick. have thus combiuediy aided iu reducine the surve known on the chart of 1860 as the twelve toot curve, at its inner mouth, and have narrowed the channel-way at tbat point to about fifty yards. In all other respects, the twelve and four? teen foot curves of that chart are remarkably well preserved, indeed, are perhaps better. The careful examination made by the com? mittee has led them to tbe opinion, that with proper removal of tho wrecked vessels and some little dredging at the point which bas been narrowed, this channel eau easily be made, as it formerly was, tbe'safest and short? est entrance and outlet *o tbo port of Charles? ton. The opinion of tbe committee was strong? ly endorsed by tbe experienced pdots wbo ac? companied them in the eoundings. As r. gards the removal of the wreaks, there does not appear to the committee any reason why such work should rot be easily and speed? ily'accomplished. Most of tho wrecks ore those of iron vessels, and a contract bas been entered into by Commander Stone on behalf of tbe United Staten Government and a Northern wrecking company for their removal, the com? pany entering into bouda for the performance of the work. The oontract at present allows a percentage to the contractors. Should such oontract not prove r?mun?r?t ive, possibly tbe work could be done for a fixed price. These wrecks ence removed, the scouring effect of the tide would probably begin at once to bo felt. As regards the dredging away of thc sand, two large wrecks upon the Drunken Dick Shoal hits greatly contributed to the formation of this obstruction. The natural scour of tbe tides has partially made a sluice channel around such wreck, but it has not been able unaided to sweep tbe wreck awav. If tbe wreck is re? moved, the committee believe tbat the dredg? ing of a point of about two hundred yards and of little width would quite restore the chan? nel-way. The committee are unable to givp any esti? mate as to tbe amounts which would be re 3aired for the removal of the wrecks and tbe redging. _ The committee deem that il will not be with? out interest, should they present some ot tbe reasons why the Beach Channel may be re carded as advantageous. In the first place, it is very short, being not more than six to eight hundred yards in length altogether. Io toe next place it is not so liable to swells as are tbe other channel-wave; it is protected by Sullivan's Island on the north, and Drunken Dick on the south, and these break the swell of the wave*. It bas often hitherto happened that when the other o ?anoel-ways were use? less, because of the sea breaking in tbem, this afforded a smooth passage. In tbe third place, it sbortona the northern route of vessels fully an hour, both because it is so much shorter, and also because it falls into the ocean so mucb to tbe north. And it is not so liable to shifting as are the other channels. Tbe Pumpkin Hill Channel has witbin the past four years shifted nearly four hun dred yards, and the Old Ship Channel, whioh bad been blocked up by the stone fl 3et, but which is again washing clear, has also very materially shifted. The committee were charged with preparing a memorial to Congress, asking an appropria? tion to deepen this channel; but inasmuch as they are nuable to get any estimate of the ex? penses, they are at a loss bow to prepare a proper memorial, and would recommend than applio ition be made to < Treasury Depart? ment to have a survey made, and an estimate taken of the expense, wich a view to asking such appropriation. The committee ask leave lo add, for tho in? formation of the Chamber, that it is now nuder contemplation to erecta lighthouse upon Mor? ris Island or thereabout. . Tbe committee were authorized to expend fifty dollars upon a survey the cheerfulness with which Captains Bell. Jones and Hancock Smith at different times accompanied th? com? mittee and gave them aid, rendered such ex? penditure unnecessary. Respectfully submitted. WILMOT G. DESACSSUBE. F. J. POBCHER. Ou motion of Ur. John H. Holmes, it was unanimously Resolved That the report be published, and the committee charged with carrying out tbe recommendations. The report of tbe Committee on the Proper Baling of Cotton, and for offering premiums fortbesame, wis recommitted to them, to? gether with snniry resolutions, offered by Ur. F. J. Porcher, with orders to report at a future meeting. Ur. L. D. Mowry offered a resolution, which was adopted, thanking Messrs. Bell, (smith and Hai cook, pilots, for the valuable assistance rendered and information given to the Commit? tee on the Beach Island Channel. After transaeting some further business of no general interest, the Chamber, al half-past IO o'clock, adjourned. HOTEL A nm VALS, AUGUST 27.-Poet' ion Hotel.-C. W. Smith, W. E. Fripp, J.

Pelz?r, Bodeers dc Co., was laid on what is known^as Brown A Co.'s wharf. Tbere was quite a large number of persons present, and tbe exercises, which were almcst entirely informal, were of an interesting character. The corner-stone was laid by Mr. L. D. Turner, at the northeast corner of tbe building. A bottle of champagne was broken upon the stone, and when the glosses were filled, the following toast was pro? posed by Colonel R. Yeadon: Commercial Enterprise-It has this day laid a noble foundation. May it raise thereon not only a magnificent, but a prosperous super? structure. Io the stone was placed a tin box containing copies of THE CHARLESTON NEWS and Courier of yesterday, cards of numerous business firms of the city, and several old coins. One of these coins bore on one side a bust of Nero; the name being inscribed above it. On the other side, the inocrip ion, "Born A. D. '35. Beran to Reign A. D. '55. Died A. D. '63." The coin is abc ut the size of the old c >pper cents in usc before tho war. After the laying of the stone, tho assem? blage adjourned to on office ne? by and, in champagne.toasted the building and its owners. The warehouse will be of briok, two stories high, one hundred and twenty feet lo <g, and seventy-five feet wide, lt ii estimated that about three thousand bales can bo stored in it. Mr. L. D. Turner, who bas contracted to build it. thinks that it will be completed abont the middle of October. It will cost about $6 OOO. A Bingle s'orv brick warehouse, which was erected in 1845, ?ras taken down to make room for the new one. Mr. C. C.
