The writer says tbe colored mechanics are well organised for protection throughout the State, but they find it impossi? ble to secure justice from the white population, sad tbat a convention of colored mechanics is called to meet tn Macon, in October, to dense moana for emigiation to the Northwestern States and Tem tories.

The family of Mr. Thomas L. Brans assembled at breakfast at the usual boor, and during the progiessof ? the meal the airange behavior ot a son, named Marshall Evans, waa freely disouesed. It had been determined that the fat bet, after bre k fast, should visit the family physician, Dr. Vao Dyks, m order to pr.oure a certibeatb of the son's mental condition, on which he could bo rem rod to an insane asy.um. Jost as the conversation was conclu Jed Marsh ill came into the breakfast-room and look bis scat at the table. Hui fatbet bide bim good mon.io? but he made no reply to this salutation. and it was uspeoted by ali present that be bad over? heard the conversation. He ate heartily, and While be was thus engaged his father left the room to change hi? dressing-gown for a coat, and procuring his hat, Mr. Evans started down the front stairway. On his father reach ing the hall landing, Marshall walked toward the front door, drew a revolver and shot at his father three times in rapid succession. Mr. Evans retreated through the parlors and fell near the dining room. His soo followed, and aa the body was lying on the floor he bent over it, bot said nothing, and when the police en? tered the last words of the dying man were: "Don't harm my boy, for he didn't know what he was doing." Young Evans is twenty-six years old, has been afflicted with rheumatism for many years, ana has recently behaved in a violent manner to bia wife and members of his own family. He was, without doubt, in? sane, for he has been, until a few weeks, a good son and an affectionate husband._ CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3'\ 1869. Tbe News Price Carrent. On Wednesday next, September 1, we will publish TBS NIWB Price Current, con? taining our usual full and ace orate review of the markets for the commercial year closing on the Slst instant. Orders for ex? tra copies, with or without cards, must be left at THB NBWS offioe by Tuesday evening. Deep Water. The Committee of the Chamber of Com? merce, to whom was referred the subject of examining the Beach or Sullivan's Island Channel, report that the greater part of the channel shows a mean low water depth of over thirteen feet, and thai with some little dredging this channel can easily be made the safest and shortest entrance and outlet to the port of Charleston. The committee recommend that application be made to the Treasury Department to hare a surrey made, and an estimate taken of the expense of dredging the chancel and of removing the wrecks which Us in it, so that Congress may be memoralfced for an appropriation to oover the whole expense. Suoh a memorial, supported as it would be by the whole Stats, would doubtless be successful, but, as the memorial cannot be presented until lht oost of the work to bc dene is ascertained, it seems to us that it would be bettor to ap? ply to City Council to hare the necessary surreys made at onos, at the expense of the oity. Bed tape in the departments would cause a long delay? and Congress might hare adjourned before tbs survey was oom ploted. If, however, the work be put in hand at once by the city, we shall within a short lime know what it will cost to obtain and maintain a depth cf twenty feet at high water in the Beach Channel. And, in this connec tion, it has suggested itself to us that it - will not be well to oonfiue (he survey to one channel only. The greatest depth of water expected to be obtained in the Beach Chan snel is about twenty feet. This must do, if ws oanuot do batter; but it seems to us that the Mah* Ship Channel, also, should be carefully surveyed for the purpose of as? certaining whether we cannot hare at that point as much as twenty five feet of water. At the same time, detailed information might be obtained from Europe oenoerning i Jahip^aSjaSjitllill'iiil'Jti A tftft? ports, a work to which deepening our channel to twenty five feet would be a bagatelle. In this way we should be dealing with hard facts, and should hare before us the record? of what others have done under oiroum stances more embarrassing than our own We hare not been able, so far, to giv* Un? important subjeot all the attention it merit s but, it appears to us, the wisest oourse is to begin the survey without delay, to have both the Main Ship Channel and the Beach Channel surveyed, and to obtain from Eu rope all the information in regard to similar undertakings which is in any way acc?s Bible. The expense will not be great, and if we venture nothing we cannot win the high pries in the mighty game of commerce A lew Material tar Paper. 80me very interesting experiments bare been in progress at the Ciokassabogue Pa? per Mills, near Mobile, as we learn from the Mobile B-giB'er, under the direot eu perriaion of Dr. J B Heed, of Tusoalooss, well known as the inven.er of the Reed Shell wbioh has rendered the Parrott gun so effective an engine of destruotion in war fare. 8 ever al years since, when the oost and soaroity of rags rendered it important to dieoover some material wbioh might be substituted in whole or in part (or rags was the subject of much thought and inves? tigation, the idea occurred to this gentle? man that the okra plant, belonging to tbs family of the eotton plant, and containing a good deal of excellent fibre, might be ad? vantageously used in the manufacture of paper. With him, to think was to act, and he at once commenoed a series of experi? ments with a view to subj ?ot the theory to a praotioal test Obtaining a small boiler, eapable of bearing a considerable steam pressure, and gathering a few Btalks as they were left in his garden, he c mmenoed his work with the patience, labor and perse? verance which seem to belong in a high de? gree to inventors, and are essential to their success. The experiments thus far made demon? strated tho tact that gocd brown pap*' could be made of okra; but. it. remained to ehow that this material oou'd be bleaobed to sufficient whiteness to moko it available for priming or book, papers, and if so, at what cost in comparison with rag or other material To decide by aotutl test, tnis important question was tbs object of the investigation at the CbickasBabogue Mills to which we have referred. The experi? ments were oonoluded, and the result is . rn men 11> gratifying to those engaged in tnem, and is of particular interest to the press, dealers in and manufacturers of paper generally, and to farmers and g r deners in tbs South within reasonable dic lanoes of paper mills. Ia the opinion nf the experienced paper makers who watohed the progress of toe work from the cutting of tbs dry sulks of okra to the production of paper from the maohine, the following points may be regarded as established : 1 Okra requires but little handling to prepare for boiling, is readily passed through the outter, nee ia uo sorting, and the entire plant is available from the root to the pod. 2 It is easily boiled, if vieil cured, re? quires only time to redone it, and may be washed and beaten ready for the machine in abont half the time required for prepar? ing rag etook, thus largely inoreasing the productive eapaoity of the mill without ad? ditional machinery. 3. When properly boiled it yields readily to the aation of chemicals and oan he bleach? ed at no greater expense than ordinary rags. 4. The pulp works as freely and smoothly on the maohine as any other fibre-does not stick to metallio press rolls like straw and wood, even when working pare okra pulp, dries readily, and oan be run safely at the highest speed of the maohine. 6. The paper made here from it is very strong, tough and elastic-better in these respects, when made entirely of okra, than either straw or wood pulp when mixed with fity per oent. or more with rags. It has none of the brittleness and hardness so ob? jectionable in straw papers, and may be fubjeoted to strong friction by rubbing be? tween the thumb and fingers, or between the hands, and will open ont smoothly and soft as a glove. 6. It will make an excellent substitute to mix with other fibres in the beating en? gines, and is of itself a superior hand stock. 7. Whether worked pure or mixed with rags it makes a paper entirely free from the objection justly raised by the printer against straw and wood papers. 8. It makes an excellent stock for fine wrapping paper, and imitation Manilla pa? per, and even in its raw state, without boil mgr or bleaching, makes a strong artiole of oommon wrapping paper, suitable for gro? cers and hardware use-superior to any paper made cf straw. The grand result will be the cheapening of paper to consumen, and it ought to be the transfer of paper manufacturing mainly to the South, where this fibre is ao readily and cheaply grown. We may add that the Ghioksssabogue Pa pi c Mills, near Mobile, are now advert?s ing for okra stalks, and will purohase 1200 tons of that material if it can be furnished. He-views. TEX MAW WHO LAUGHS. (Complete ) By Vic? tor Hugo. Mew York: D. Appleton 4 Co. Charleston: John Bassell. Those who have not had the courage to read the latest work of Victor Hugo in the pages of Appleton's Magazine, may now at tack it in complete form with a better pros? pect of amusement and edification. The Man Who Laughs is a wonderful work in more senses than one, but it has power and force,whatever its occasional buffoonery and broad brutality-and will be universally read. The author says in his preface : "Toe true title of this book might have been "Aristocracy. Another book which will fol '.low may be entitled Monarchy Ajid these "two books-if it is permitted to the author "to complete this labor-will preoede and 'I ad to another, whioh will bs c tiled Ninety "Three " 8o there is more to come.

Tne monthly issus for August inoludes tho four numbers of the Journal published that month, with an index for the first volume, tn at. closed with the twentieth number The volumes will be completed semi-annually hereafter. The distinctive feature of tho Journal is its union of notion, science, literature and illustrations, without dis? carding a certain amount of news. Toe first volume shows that it will be sustained. The papers that are given are of a high de? gree of merit, whichever department they fill, and it ts not too much to say, perhaps, that the Journal is discharging an impor? tant funotion in raising the standard of our rent literature and absolute knowledge in a large circle of society. It deservas support quite as much as any literary undertaking, and principally beoause it gives a solid re? turn for a solid outlay. ' TBS suggestions of the Chamber of Commerce in regard to the manner of licens? ing pilots will, we hope, receive soms at eration at the hands of Governor Scott. The old system worked perfectly weil, and the new system works infamously. It is hard to see that there is any political question wrapped up in this pilotage matter, and we trust that Governor Scott will recommend the repeal of the obnoxious aot, and that the Legislature will have sense enough to adopt the recommendation THE Lancaster Ledger says: "The friends "of the South Carolina Central Bail road will bear in mind, that the road "when constructed from Gourdin's depot "on the Northeastern Boad, through Wil? liamsburg, Clarendon, Sumter, Kershaw, ' Lancaster and Mecklenburg Counties to "Charlotte, will aff ird a route from Char 'lotte to Charleston shorter than any other ?road by sixty-five miles. This will, un j "doubtedly, be the best paying road in j the State."
