AN ENGINE AWRAISED.-In accordance with a resolution of Council, the Mayor and Alder? men Greene and Holloway, colored, have ap? praised the ?hand engine turned over to the United Fire ?Engine Company, estimating its value in its present damaged condition at $150. The company will purchase lt, and have the necessary repairs made at once. THE LABORERS' STRIKE.-The strike ~oT the longshoremen. flR continues, yet a lew of them are employed at the rates demanded. We learn that the members o?the Longshoremen's Protective Union Association contemplate petitioning Council to license the longshore? men and fine all who work without a license. THE WILMINGTON PBESS UPON TEMPLETON. The Charleston newspapers a fe vf days since stated that Templeton had concluded not to perform in the city Just yet, the Courier re? marking that "it is as well," and THE NEWS '.Charleston can stand lt." Both of the Wil? mington papers quote these remarks, one say? ing "rather cool that," and the other, ,;we de? sire amusements In our own city this winter, but we have no deOght in the presence of such companies as Templeton's Block Crook crowd." THE LATE MURDER.-THE NEWS has already mentioned the arrest of two negroes upon the Charge of murdering the negro whose hotly was found floating off the Battery a week ago. There are two witnesses now in confinement, who will probably testify to-day. We learn that the accused were present when the body of the deceased was disinterred last Friday, and some one turned suddenly to them and said: 4,When did you murder this man?" One of the prisoners quickly replied, " At three o'clock Friday morning." AN ATTRACTIVE- R E ?ORT.-One of the pleas? antest places to visit in Charleston ls the Fine Art Ga??ry cf Messrs. Cainby & Co., in King 8treer, opposite Hasel street. ' Large additions have Just been made to the stock of pictures. Including a number of new and choice engrav? ings, both plain and colored, flne oil paintings, and exquisite chromos. These are all the freshest and the very best of their kind, having been selected with great care at the North within the last fortnight by Mr. Barnard in person. Any of our readers wishing to gratify their taste lu art, can now do so with advant? age, as these pictures leave nothing to be de? sired as drawing-room decorations, and are entered at prices considerably lower than the retail rates In New York. , Call early to get the pick. _\ . THE HEACTH OF THE Crxr.-Whafis known as* the ~'sickly season," embracing tho months of July, Augu? tm* Septtrfiber, J* rfow over. Among a white population of twenty thousand ' there nave been one hundred and thlrty-se ven deaths : and among a population of twenty four thousand blacks there have been two hun? dred and seventy deaths, divided among the months as follows : July, seventy-seven whites and* one hu/idr?i and four blacks ;'August, thirty-one vhitea and eighty blacks ; Septem? ber, twenty -nine whites and eighty-six blacks. There has been no epidemic, nor have there been any more deaths than usual this season, and the health of the city wtti compare favora? bly with ttu\t of any city In the United States. There has not been one case of yellow fever In the city during the past summer, and with a strict quarantine system, such as we have lately had, there ls no danger of disease of this kind. " . _ ATTEMPT TO SWINDLE A NEGRO.-There is a negro man-In lids city .named Johnson, whose son, Ben, was, a short time since, sentenced by a court In Charlotte, N. C., to twenty years' imprisonment In the penitentiary for stealing a watch. The circumstances connected with the case left no reasonable doubt In the minds of thejury that the accused was guilty. He was caught In the house one night, and the next morning the watch was missed. However, after he was imprisoned, the watch was found where it had been placed by the owner for safe-keeping and Its hiding place forgotten. All of this has been communicated to Johnson by a negro in Charlotte, who offers, If twenty five dollars be sent him, to procure the release of Ben. Johnson, who is an old man, wished to send the money, but he has been advised to go to the Governor of North Carolina and state the circumstances, and ask for the release of his son, wAeh he will rh-obably do. THAT DEMOCRATIC POLICEMAN.-At half-past eleven o'clock Friday last, the committee from the Loyal League called upon tire Mayor and requested him to remove the~ "Democratic members" of the police force, and to put Re? publicans In their places, assuring him that he woi?d receive the undivided support of the Republicans If he did so. He assured the com? mittee that he would gradually relieve the force of the objectionable members. The com? mittee then retired. They were not gone more than five minutes when three Aldermen ?called upon the Mayor, two white and one .colored. The colored one deslredthe appoint? ment of a white man upon the police force. One of the white Aldermen assured the Mayor that Ire knew thc candidate to be a liberal minded man, who was willing to let every man vote as he pleased, but he was not assured that he was a Republican; he had once made a good policeman, and was a number one man. ?he other Alderman was surprised to hear his lend express his doubts about the candi? date's Republican tendencies ; why ! he was a " truly loU " one, and should have the appointment by all means. This last appeal had thc desired effect, and the candidate was announced as a " Knight of the Baton." The Alderman went away satisfied; but oh, horrors! the Alder? man who was so certain of the politics of the candidate he so zealously espoused, received Information, which left no doubt In his mind, that he had been supporting a Democrat. His sleep was troubled-visions of woodsawyers sawing him into bits for having "gone back" upon the twelve hundred adherents to the Radical faith who desired to be "put on guard;" of long preambles and resolutions from the Loyal League censuring him for such unre pubilcan conduct; of Sam Dickerson rising up and calling him traitor, floated o'er his mind. In the morning he called upon the Mayor and re? quested him to recall the appointment, but the Mayor refused, stating that the appointment had been made upon the Alderman's asser? tions, and that the appointee would have to remain upon the force. The Alderman left digusted with things generally. The force If it has gained a Democrat, is also a gainer In having a resolute man-one who by long ex? perience ls acquainted with the duties of a po? liceman, and knows how to discharge them with firmness and discretion. THK WOOIWAWYKRS l>|SS.vTISKIKI>.- Al lill' lll.-l meeting of Council ti resolution wsw adopted requiring ?ul woodsawyer* io lake ?>ui at?cense anti HOI io charge more than ?ne dollar for sawing a cord ot" wood. The woodsawyers like the r?solution very much so far ns lt goes, hut they think it does not go far enough, ami now desire that a resolution bo adopted by Council providing that any one who shall Chamo loss than one dollar for sawing a cord ol'wood shall be pul In jail. Il is hardly neces? sary to state that tho resolution will not bo offered. VESSEL STRANDED.-Information has been received here from Georgetown, S. C., stating that tho schooner Hudson, Captain Kemp, with a cargo of naval stores, which left that place on the 22d of September for New York, went ashore on the beach of North Island, north of Georgetown bar, about the 29th of Septem? ber. The crew were mostly sick, and the ves? sel experiencing strong easterly gales, she was driven ashore. It was mentioned that her cargo would be saved, but while one report stated that the vessel would be saved, another said that she had gone to pieces. CRI*MBS. -There are very few drunkards ar? raigned before the Mayor at present. Mr. Thomas Frost, agent of the New York Life Insurance Company, has just returned to this city from New York, where he was en? gaged for some time studying the principles and application^ the different systems of life Insurance. There were ninety-eight thousand eight hun? dred and ninety-four feet of mill timber and three hundred and sixty thousand two hun? dred and nineteen feet of lumber inspected during the week ending Saturday. It ls stated that the Tax bill for 1S70 will be submitted to Connell about the 15th of this month. The tax on real estate will be reduc? ed to 1$.

The reopening of the school of^sJhe Misses Murden will take place on Wednesday next. Instead of this morning, as. heretofore an? nounced._ Loss AND GAIN IX COTTON.-Some weeks ago notice was given that Mr. John H. Holmes, of Boyce's wharf, one of our Charleston cotton brokers, had procured a bale of new cotton and had placed lt under cover In his office, with a view to test the loss or gain in weight. The cotton was carefully weighed at 3 P. M. on September C, and at 9 A. M. and 3 P. M. on each following day up to September 30. The result has been given us in tabular form through the kindness of Mr. Holmes. The main results are these: On September G at 3 P. M. the bale weighed 419 pounds, weather being damp. On September 8, 9, 10 and ll the weather was dry, and the weight fell to 417| pounds at 3 P. M. Sep? tember 11th. A succession of damp days follow? ed, and at 9 A. M. on September 18 und 21 the bale had risentto 420j pounds; atad by September 25-at 9 A. M. and 3 P. M.-the bale reached 421} pounds, the maximum. On the last recorded day, at 3 P. IL, the bale weighed 420 pounds. The key to the whole table is the range of the thermometer. As the mercury fell the cotton grew heavier; as It rose the cotton became lighter. And we should say that a dif? ference of ten degrees Fahrenheit with stored cotton should be generally equal to a gain or loss of 1J pounds a bale. The following table shows the weight of the bale on each day, with the state of the thermometer, the direction of the wind and the character of the weather : NINE O'CLOCK A. M.

TIIK STEAMSHIP MANHATTAN.-We learn iliai tiiis steamship left Kew York Saturday with the largest amount ol'freight that has yet been brought by any steamship to tlils port. She also has ninety passengers aboard. WATCH RECOVERED.-A short time since a negro named David Richardson was ai rest ed by Officer Hernandez upon suspicion of having stolen a fine watch from a ladj% No. 19 Went? worth street. The evidence was against him and he was committed to Jail, tjrom which he was released upon a writ of habeas corpus. The morning after Iiis release the watch was found upon thc lady's piano, where lt had been placed during the night or very early that morning. THE TIMBER CUTTERS ANO THE LUMBER BILL.-The timber cutters were not at all pleased with some of Ihe provisions of the '.Ordinance to create the office of inspector general of timber and lumber, and to define his powers and duties, and for other purposes relating thereto," and contemplated appeal? ing to the Legislature to make some law which would not conflict with their interests, as.?iey allege the said ordinance does. Hear? ing of this movement the Inspector-General has drawn up a bill supplementary to the objectionable ordinance, which, if passed by Council, and there Ts no doubt that it will, may meet the approval of the timber cutters, and prevent their making the proposed ap? peal. The new bill provides that ''all timber having any Injurious defect, or any detect, heretofore specified, other than ring, wind or heart shakes, shall bo classed as defective timber, and the price tobe paid for thc same shall boas agreed upon between the buyer and the seller. And if any cutter or owner ol' any raft of tim? ber brought to this market for sale shall con? ceal, or cause to be concealed, any detective slick of timber in such ruR, so that the defec? tive portion, or side, shall not be visible to the inspector, and shall thereby cause the same to be classified as merchantable tlmber,such cutter or owner shall be fined by the Mayor in the sum of fifty dollars, one-half to be paid to the informer, and the other half for the use of the city." That "all timber and lumber brought to this market for sale, or sold within the lim? its of the city, or shipped therefrom, shall be inspected, measured and marked by a duly authorized inspector and measurer of timber and lumber, whose foes shall bc for such in? spection, measuring and marking, as speci? fied in sections twelve and sixteen re? spectively of thc ordinance entitled 'An or? dinance to create the office of Inspector-Gene? ral of Timber and Lumber,"'Ac. That "for the gloater convenience of mill owners the Mayor be, and he ls hereby, authorized to aj> polnt and license six measurers of lumber, whose duty it shall be to inspect nntl measure only such lumber as shall be sawed in the city, and sold to purchasers residing within the limits of the same. And snell additional measurers shall take the same oat li of office, give the same bond, and be subjected to Hie same regulations now prescribed for the gov crnm-.t't of inspectors and measurers of tim? ber and lumber."

The Courier, a naper which has been libe? rally sustained by The merchants of Charleston for many years, in its issue of Friday last, under the head of "Baltimore Trade," perpe? trates the following: "We do not hesitate to as? sert that, In the natural course of events, Bal? timore will absorb almost the entire jobbing business of this city and other Southern cities, and we are warranted in this assertion by the events of thc past two years." We would like to have the writer of this article point out the special advantages that Baltimore can offer to the country merchant over Charles? ton, as one would infer he ls learned in matters of Inls sort. Merchants in thc interior who have not only tried Baltimore but New York, say they buy goods In our market as cheaply as anywhere-freights on heavy goods added. We can only account for this article by sup? posing that a few Baltimore* advertisements brought it out. Well may we exclaim. "Save us from our friends." MANY MERCHANTS. [We think that "Many Merchants" have mis? understood the Intention of the Courier, which was. we presume, to suggest that the Jobbing Merchants of Charleston, not the country merchants, will find it to their advantage to buy their stocks In Baltimore.-ED. NEWS.] B V S INES S NOTICES. .SHIPPERS to Baltimore and Philadelphia will note the intended dispatch of the steamship Sea Gull on Wednesday morning, at half-past 7 o'clock.
