The miscellaneous record will be illustrated with cats of the public bandings of the etty. It will be a valuable work. Tax CATERPILLAR OX THE RAMPAGE.-Re? cent visitors to James' Island assert that the caterpillar is making sad havoc with the cot* ton. Unformed bolla are badly eaten, and tb? prospects for a good crop, which were bright a few days since, are now blighted. A similar unfavorable report is received from Wadmalaw Island, where the worm is represented as rap? idly destroying all prospects for a ?tU crop. THE NXW TAX BELL.-We learn that the Tax bill, for the year 1870, is being hammered into shape, and will be presented to Council for its consideration about the last of November. The framers of the bili propose to lessen the tax upon real estate, and to heavily tax every? thing connected with railroads, also gambling . booses and brothels. Tbey claim that by this method the city will be able to raise from taxes next year $1,000,000-#290.000 more than will be raised thia year. THAT RADICAL CONSTABLE.-Theodore F. Bu neb, of whose "assault and battery, with j intent to kill," apon Mrs. Henry Dose ber, THE j NEWS of yesterday made mention, was re-ar? rested yesterday and committed to jail. His lathe bad promised on Saturday to fur? nish, the 1500 security required, and Magis? trate Mackey released bim, folly believing that the security would be produced. Yesterday morning Dr. Badzinsky, who bas been attend? ing M-^tf. Doscher since the assault made upon ber, certified that there were bruises on her arms and knees, and that she had re? ceived internal injuries whioh are of serious character. IQ consideration of this fact, and also that the security wa? not forthcoming. Magistrate Mackey ordered Bunch to bo re? arrested, which was done, and he was told that he would have to furnish $1000 security for his appearance for trial or go to jail. Failing to give the security, he was committed cs above staled. Bunch denies that he struck Mre. Poacher. THE CASE OF TH S CITY ENOINEEB.-At three o'clock yesterday afternoon Aldermen T. J. Mackey, Charles Voigt, M. H. Collins, white, and E. P. Wall and K. H. Hampton, colored, 4be committee appointed by Council, at there quest of Mr. L. J. Barbot, city engineer, to investigate the charges preferred against bim, assembled. The charges, accusing the engineer with fraudulent measurement in nome work for the .city, were read. Mr. Barbot stated that, although the charges ?were made against bim on tbe 23dof February last, this was the first time that they bad been officially communicated to him. He said be .desired a full examination, and wi-bed the oom. mittee to employ experienced engineers to to over the work and report the result of the r measurerneote and ail allowances. After making some arrangements regarding .the employment of an engineer and i be sam? mouing of witnesses, the committee adjourned anta loar o'clock to-morrow afternoon. "LIFE IX THE OLD LAND YET! Opening of the Fall Trade-Cheerful Prospects- L i v e 1 y Times on the Wharves and along the Bay-Thc Fleecy Staple-The Draymen In Para? dise-Scenes at the Cotton Presses-The Jobbers and the ?Mew Arrivals-Win? ning Ways of the Drummers-Life and Bustle Everywhere. Tes, walk through thc streets of Charleston to day; feel the pnlse of the fall trade now beating-; see its healthy flush on the faces of our merchants; read the enterprise sparkling in their eves, and with us, you will be oon ! strained to exclaim, truly, "There's Ufo ju the old land yet." I From all directions comes the cr j for "more goods." Everywhere merchandise is moving. The stagnation of the summer months has yielded to the stimulating influences of a busi? ness which, though commenced much earlier than usual, already measures ita results by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Men who a few weeks ago sat torpidly in their counting rooms, gloomy as tombstones, and written all over witb what doubtless eeemed to them an obituary notice of dead hopes, are to-day the incarnation of a high-pressure steam engine, working forty pounds to 'lie square inch; safety valves all ooen and r iston rods iu motion, morning, noon and r ight. Disconsolate as? pects and fretful tempers have given place to unalloyed felicity; ni' ht mares and goblins have disappeared from tho imagination; faces that had grown pale over "expense accounts," or pointed, in fondly contemplating every five cent piece before it slipped through the fin? gers, once more are lighted hythe sunshine, and. in the old-time strains of eloquence, tho merchant and his clerks do homage to custom? ers with a devotion that is both adhesivo and irresistible. Ihe "good time" prayed for has come, and happy is that man who can visit Charleston with a plethoric pocketbook, and, in dispensing bis greenbacks, enjoy the deli? cious sensation of being made much of as a paragon of excellence, and then go home to his friends and neighbors with a car-load of merchandise that has been assuredly purchas? ed "at the lowest New York prices." If thef e's any other happiness more supt erne, to buyer or seller, on this mundane sphere, we don't know it. Does the reader ask-Why this sudden change? The answer is in one word-COT? TON 1 And well may we "Thank Him who placed na hers Beneath so kind a sky-the very ann Takes part with us; and on oar errands run AU breezes of the ocean. Dew and raia Do noiseless battle for us; and the Tear. ?/ ' And all the gentle daughters In her train, March In oar ranks, and in our service wield Long apeara of golden grain I A yellow blossom as her fairy shield, Jane flings her arare banner to the wind While in the order of their birth Her listen pasa; and many an ample field O rows white beneath their steps, till now, behold Its endless sheels unfold THE SHOW 0f BOUTKXBN SDMHZH8." Not since the beginning of the war has the South been blessed with a more prosperous crop than in this A. D. 1869. The caterpillar bas this year caused a good deal more alarm (han injury, and the great staple commands prices which ought to satisfy any reasonable planter that Providence is on his side, and that Pope was telling the truth when he wrote, "Whatever is, is right I '* The critical moment has passed, and the business man already fore? sees the wealth about to pour through the alni ces of trade into the remotest corners of the South. Importations have accordingly b&en extensive; the shelves and counters of our meicbants, nay the very sidewalks, groan beneath their weight of merchandise, and the early bird? who desire te catch the worm, have begun to arrive in our city by scores. QooJ bargains sod tbe pick of an assortment are nu? ques t ion ably to be had how. Take A turn with us AB0U1?D THE WHARVES. From Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York the steamers all come deeply loaded. The printed freight lists have suddenly grown from two to six inches in length. Thero are packages marked to almost every merchant in the oity. The docks are piled with boxes, bar? rels, crates, agricultural implements and ma? chinery, and the pursers report still more awaiting transportation. The stevedores are busy from morning until night, and the stroets leading to and-from the wharves present a panoramic array of drays which oddly enough remind you of a procession of ants, industri? ously making their rounds. Here, among these active scenes-on the dock, in the steam? ers* hold, among the clerks with their invoice booka, among the noisy mules and draymen you probably have a fair criterion of the amount ol business being done in the city at large. THE BAT. "The car rattles o'er tho stony street" with jar incessant. Goods going up, oottou coming down. Floor is piled on the sidewalk in pyra? mids; while hogsheads of molasses and eng r await with sweet complacency their transfer to the cavernous depths of the storerooms. Port? ers, now "on their muscle," are making all possible arrangements of merchandise, through which, in striving to reaoh the counting room, yon turn and twist and circumambulate until lost in a labyrinth worse than a map of Boston. Individuals, tufted with cotton, dart across the street ftom the wharves, where they have been "sampling" bales, to sample something else, t. e., ice-water with some sugar and a spoon in it. Sturdy looking merohants from the interior are pricing, baying, arguing, and feeling the market. The dray interest is in & state of mingled confusion,.excitement sod delight. There is more oottou to go to the wharves and more merchandise to go to the depots than anybody .an remember to have seen before, so early in the season; and the mules are made aware of the fact with a vigor sod energy that might afford a subject for the seal of any number of societies for the suppression of cruelty to animals. In short, from one end of the Bay to the other, thcte ia bustle, bustle, bustle the melody of trade. Stop at THE COTTON PRESSES On your w?y ap town, aud you will seo more of it. Bude, uncouth bags of cotton by the score are arriving every few moments. They are ecarcoly off tho dray before a dozen dusky hands setze and tranfers each one by turu to tho gieat iron jaws of tho press. There is a pull at a lever-a sudden sigh, and you almost ex? pect to hear a shriek from the King Cotton as his sides are crunched and bis liberty is cur? tailed from three feet to one and a half. In less time than it takes to write it, iron ties are passel around the epitome of his former self, and thus, "cribbed, cabined and confined," he is rolled out into tbe world te take his chances among the mysteries or my ladyi bed-cham? ber, or to ron a brief cart er among the shift? less Hottentots. Sich is life ! MEETINO AMD HAIME FTBIBT8. Here is tho drummer's paradise. It wouldn't be safe to estimate how many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods of every description invite buyers to leave eight drafts in the localities above named. The sum would be simply immense. Aud they are bnsy as bees there, also. A loafer has no more chance ol holding a chair aown five minutes in one of these establishments, with the hope that some? body will entertain or invite him over the way to take his forty drops of red hot glory, than he has of being struck by skeet lightning. But let a gentleman from the country oome in-an individoal who has the bobing look on bim-let bim drop ever so alight an intimation that he dont feel very well, and that he always corea it with a little "corn juice," or that this ie a dreadful climate for the heartburn, aod the water don't agree with him-let such a one make his appearance, and h: will create a rip? ple-yea, an effervescence throughout the en? tire institution. Every individual therein, from the youth who sweeps out the store to the sedate bookkeeper, will immediately feel it incumbent upon himself to spend, if necessary, his bottom dollar in alleviating the misery of the aforesaid customer, and thereby preserve bim as a respectable member of society and a patron of that house. Whatever you want in any Une of trade you will find in this locality, and within the limits of a biscuit throw. Dry goods, boots and shoes, clothing, hardware, groceries, drugs, carriages, agricultural implements, crockery, hats, tinware, leather, millinery goods, books and stationary-everything indeed, that hu? manity need to eat, drink, wear, walk on or ride in, except a hearse and coffin, are to be found here, and at prices the most tempting. Goods arrivo and depart almost hourly. Boxes block the side walks, and junior clerks, poe in hand, are taking ebirographic Uberties in tur? pentine and lamp black with the names of customers from North Carolina, South Caro? line, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. Charles? ton enjoys a lively trade from all these States. Midnight finds moat of these establishments still open, and under the blaze of the gas lights, a cohort of workers may bo seen engaged in packing goods, opening fresh arrivals, or cleaning away the wreck of tho day's battle. In one establishment we wot of, seventeen thous? and dollars worth of goods were ono day last week sold before twelve o'clock M. Elsewhere, although it is but tho beginning of the season, one, two, five thousand dollars are not un? common results ot a few hours work. General good bumor prevails among those who handle the3o funds, aod even tho chronic grumblers are bound to admit that tho prospects were never more cheerful or en:ouracing. Step now into THE HOTELS. The registers of both the Charleston and PaviUon show a goodly array of names. There is nothiDg very striking about them to you; but the city drummer will diagnose tho list as accurately as a physioian diagnoses the cholera morbus, and, in the course of a day, will have button-holed every blessed individual io the house who has come to Charleston to spend his greenbacks. Your good "drummer" bas studied bis busi? ness as one of i -fine arts. He is first a gen? tleman, well dressed, gracious and sociable. He is an admirable talker, sweet-oily and care? ful never to say "cuss words" in the presence of a country deacon. He knows tho town gossip by heart; can tell you to a dot what "they say;" narrates a capital story, and has the rare faculty of determining where enter? tainment can properly begin and end. Ho is a good drinkist; never faiUng with his bottled hospitality when he finds the needle pointing in that direction on the moral compass of his guest; and generous to the last five dollar bilL Ho is also a passa? ble billtardist, and if after nightfall this amuse? ments is tonghi, takes care not to win more than one game in five. lu short, with a pro? mising costomer in hand, he proceeds scienti? fically to apply bis galvanic poles to every vul? nerable part, until at last, the pocket nerve is touched and tho magnetic circuit is complete. His country cousin goes home satisfied that John Smith is a perfect brick, the best, the noblest and the most generous specimen of mankind he over encountered. He has had a good time in tho "City by the Sea," his stock has been replenished at the lowest cost prices, and ho has made a staunch friend, by whom he can swear for better or for worse. Of late, however, oqr merchants have added another pulley to their machinery of trade. Instead of employing one or two active mea to btg the miscellaneous mass of buyers who come to Charleston, they secure the services of somo live, go-ahead fellow from the neighbor? hood whioh promises a good share of custom? ers. Of ooaree, he knows every one personally, and bas the ear and the advantage. He ases it indefatigably. He sticks to his friends like a coat of tar, and lucky is that competitor who oan edge the smallest sentence into a pending oonvexsation. So, by one means and another-all fair, honorable and business like-our city mer? chants aro "pressing forward to the prize of then* high calling." They have advertised, and now is theil' harrest. The; hare invested lar rely in the parchase of the latest and host of stock, and they oxpeot to seU it. They offer inducements which aro not surpassed even ia the great centres of trade like New York, Phil* adelphia and Baltimore, and they say to the people of the South-"Come and try us." We watch with interest the development of busi? ness during the coming month. The test io Charleston will be the test elsewhere, and if its results be gratify ?HR at home, as wo believe they wiU be, we shall realize in fact what we have long predicted, namely, that our people, step? ping from the furrows of life upr>o its table land, will this year inaugurate a new career of prosperity, aod enjoy a goodly share of those blessings to which, too long, alas 1 they hare been strangers. TEX POLICE BELL -The Police bill bas been discussed aa J discussed aatil almost erery oueia tired of hearing it mentioned. It will be brought up at the meeting of Council to j night, and we sincerely trust that the police force will be "reorganized," as some want it, or the supportera of the biU be so thoroughly disorganized by a defeat that they will nerer recover sufficiently ta reorganize themselves aod make another fight orerit. So mach for aa iatroductioa; aowfor some facta which will be presented for tho conside? ration of the Aldermen to-night. The present force costs $67,732 per annum, divided as fol? lows: Captain, $1500; two Ueutenants, at $1200 each, $2100; two sergeants, at $800 each, $1600; four roundsmoo, at $600 each, $2400; sixty-five day meu, at $720 each, $46,800; thirty-eieht Dight men, at $330 each, $11.400; two hostlers, at $600 each, $1200; three horses, $432 per an? num. Total, $67,732. Tho Policy bill, as amended, prorides that there shall bc a captain with a salary of $1500; two lieutenants, at $1200 each, $2400; two ser? geants, at $720 each. $1440; twelve roundsmen, at $600 each, $7200; seventy-six privates, at $480 each, $36 480; two hostlers, at $480 oath, $960; three horsod, at $432 per annum. Total, $50,412. A comparison of the abavo statements will show that tue* Dight force will, under the amended bill, bo done away with, and thc cost wiU be $17.320 less per annum than the present cost of the force. In the above statements the door men and steeple men, whose salaries foot up two thousand seven hundred dollars per annum, are not included. There will be tho same number of this class of men kept on the force if it be "reorganized." We think that in this effort to reduce the ex? pense of the force, very little thought has been exercised ia regard to the privates, %bo are dependent entirely upon their salaries for a livilihood. Four hundred aod eighty dollars per &nnam is not sufficient for a Bingle man to lire upon muoh less a married man with a family, and we believe that a majority of the members are ii the latter predicament. The polio? force is as good as can be expected under the existing circumstances, and all efforts to "reorganize*' it, i. e., to make it a poli, tical machine, will certainly not result in any benefit to it whatever, TUE BARRICADE SMASHER, He Forgets that he is an '.Alderman and a Justice of the Peace," and goes on a Bender. Aldoroan David Barrow, white, who made such a fool of himself on last Friday, by smashing the barricade in front of the Plan? ters' and Mccuanics' Bank building, assumed a new role yesterday afternoon, by going on a bender and asserting that he knew the laws of the United States and would see that they were enforce 3. While reeling about East Bay, near the Cus? tomhouse, about half-past three o'clock, he observe! a pile of coooanuts in front of the house of Messrs. Paul, Welch A Brandes. These cocoanuts had been consigned to Messrs. Enslow A Co., from whom this firm bad purchased them. Each of these cocoa nuts did not present a stamp, aa the fuddled brain of the Alderman, who is also an ap? praiser at the Customhouse, imagined they should, and be walked into the store and insolently asserted to Mr. S. E. Welch that the duty had not been paid on them. Mr. Welch was of course indignant, and told tho appraiser that he did not recognize him at all in the matter; that the duty had been paid, as he could ascertain by inquiring of Messrs. Enslow A Co., or of the United States Customhouse officer, then on board of the ves? sel discharging the cargo. Barrow continued tu assert that the duty had not been paid, and Mr. Welch ordered him out of the store. He refused to go, and Mr. Welch was upon the point of kicking him out, but seeing a policeman passing he told him to take the befuddled individual away. The policeman took hold of Barrow by the arm and carried him offa short distance from tho store and released him. Mr. Welch then went to the Guardhouse to enter charges against Barrow for drunkenness and unlawful trespass. He was advised, if he intended to prosecute, to prefer charges be? fore a magistrate. There was no great desire evinced to enter the ckargos, and Mr. Welch left and did not go to a magistrate; but we hope he will prefer charges to-day. ?-If Mr. Welch had kicked the Alderman out of the store, be would have taught bim a lesson of deoency, and justly punished him for his un? warrantable conduct. Our citizens cannot pre? vent the Aldermen from making fools of them? selves in the Council chamber; but when these functionaries cannot restrain their propensi? ties upon the streets and thus interfere with the rights of the citizens, they should be made to behave, os far as possible, like civil? ized beings._ A WOBD TO MERCHANTS.-IT you want job printing done at very cheap rates, call at THE .NEWS JOB OFFICE. Business cards $3 and up? wards per thousand. ELECTION OF OFFICERS.-At a meeting of the Emerald Base Ball Club, held on Saturday last, the following officers were elected for the en? suing year : W. Duffie, president; M. Flinn, vice-president; T. Walsh, secretary and treas? urer; L. Ryan, captain first nine; J. Croghan, captain second nino. Directors-M. Garvin, J. Miller, J. Hones. THE FINE ABTS.-While other branches of business in our city are putting on the best face possible lo meet the exigencies of the brisk fall season that is opening so suspicion s ly upon us, Messrs. Quinby A Co. are deter? mined that visitors and strangers shall find that Charleston is lacking in none of the latest improvements and facilities in the department of photographing and the fine arte. Mr. Bar Bard, the courteous and accomplished oniof sporator of the, establishment, bas just re? turned from th? >T?rtb with a, fresh and com? plete assortment of photographie goods, pic? tures, chromos, Ac, which will be opened in a few days, when the gallery will be rendered more attractive than ever. Our friends from the country desiring first-class pictures, may rely upon those executed at Qu in by A Co.'s being unsurpassed in fidelity and finish by anything of the kind that can be produced thia side ot Paris. Portraits are enlarged to any size, and Mr. Barnard devotes especial atten? tion to the specialty of copying old pictures, and also to making out-door views. CRUMBS.-There will be a meeting of Coun? cil to-night. Tho order from the Mayor to Governor 8cott, to pay to the Sisters ol Mercy tho $6000 appro? priated by Council for the relief of the orphan asylum in charge of tho Sisters of Mercy here, was among the mail matler consumed when the cars wore burnt in Congaree Swamp last Saturday morning. Yesterday the Mayor for? warded a duplicate, und it is thought the money will be paid to-day. A memorial will bo presented to Council to? night, asking that an ordinance be passed pro? viding that all cattle brought to the city shall bo weighed on tho public scales. The weight of a beef is now a mere matter of guess upon the part ol the drovers and batchers, and some of the drovers complain that they always "come out second best." A young white girl, about fifteen years of age, left her home on Fridty night and volun? tarily entered a house of ill-fame, from which abe was taken Sunday by Officer Quinn, and held in the detective office until yesterday morning, when her mother came and took charge of her. It is reported that there till be an ordinated introduced in Council, providing that aban? doned women shall not occupy one story houses, or live in the lower story of any house, lu New Orleans and, we believe, in other places, there are ordinances to this effect, Dennis, colored, who, a short tims sinco, shot Nelson, colored, was discharged yester? day, it being proven that Nelson was trespass? ing upon bis premises. The fines imposed by the Mayor yesterday amounted to $52. J. D. Fries, who was arrested twico Satur? day night, first for stealing a watch and then H), is still held for examination. An iuaaoe fellow named Robert Ruffin. who amused himself by exclaiming in a loud voice, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not one jot of my Word," was arroatedby the po? lice and taken before the Mayor yesterday morning. After cutting thc pigeon wing on tho prisoner's stand, ho squared off at his Honor, in a manner which showed moro science than respect. He will bc sent to the Imano Asylum. Officer Hernandez on yesterday recovered a valuablo ring, which had been stolen from Mrs. Gurran. We learn that the excess - of expenditures of the city over its income ia about $8000 per month. A horse attached to street car No. 6 fell on King-street yesterday afternoon and Was severe? ly cut in the thigh. This was the cause of the large crowd on that street yesterday. It is reported that there are twelve hundred applications upon file for appointments as policemen. Of (his number three-fourths are colored. Among the whites are a largs number of soldiers, who have boen recently discharged or whose term of service will expire very shortly. There ara between five and six hundred col? ored men of Charleston conducting "business upon their own hook." A match game, botween the Marion and Moultrie Base Ball Clubs-urchins all-last evening, was woo by the Mariona, 14 to 3. HOTEL ARRIVALS, SEPTEMBER 20.-Charles Ion Hote'.-S. Jacobi-olm, Mrs. A.

FINANCIAL.- Attention is invited to the card of Mr. Edward Lowndes, broker, which will be found in another part of to-day's paper. -o IF ANT ONE is so blind as to believe that the fall trade of Charleston has not opened in earn? est, let him turn what is left of his eyesight to the advertisement of Mr. Wm. Matthiessen, in another department of this paper. He will see there a catalogue ot excellencies an long as his arm; figures tbat never lie, and promises tbat never disappoint. Temptations will appear thick aa thc leaves in Vallambrosi, and be can be "sacked" or "suited" to bis heart's content at prices that will scarcely pkim the cream off ] his pocketbook. In short, Mr. Matthieseen, with hts usual enterprise, always up to time, opeus a stock of fall and winter clothing, fancy artie'es, ic., for gentlemen's wear, that has not been excelled in many a day. --o LIGHT READING FOR THE WARM WEATHER. Our friends in the country who desire to obtain light reading for the warm weather, at strictly popular prices, are referred to the advertise? ment of Mr. C. C. Righter, the very enterpris? ing and trustworthy King-stroet dealer in books and periodicals of all kinds. His list will be found to include something to suit every taste, and it seems to us a marvel how he can afford to send bis books by mail over the country, post-paid, at the ridiculously low prices named.
