THE SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD.
On Monday morning last work was commenced
at the shops of J. J. Dale A Co., in Savannah, upon
the bridge intended to span the Savannah River
for the track of the above road. The bridge will
be built at these shops and fitted together in sec?
tions previous to its final erection, lt ts thought
that six weeks will be required to complete the
work. The work of laying the rails from the
three-mile post on the Central Railroad to tho
bridge was commenced on Tuesday, the Iron for
that purpose having already arrived by the ship
Screamer, from New York. It will,',therefore, be
seen that the work is being rapidly pushed for?
ward at both ends of the line, and there ls now
evsjry reason to believe that the assurance given
in the summer that the road would be in running
order by the flrst of December will be realized.

Coxrcsoiox of AN ALLBOED MCRDER ER-HB
SAYS Jig SON COMMITTED THE DEED.-THE NEWS
has mentioned that Friday and Anthony Nixon,
father and sen, were committed to jail to answer
the charge of murdering Dick Richards, the ne?
gro whose body was found floating off the Bat?
tery last Sunday week.
Yesterday, Friday, the fathe* confessed to
Coroner Whiting that lils sou Anthony had com
mlUed the murder, saying: "On Saturday mom.
ingnbout 3 o'clock, whilst Dick Richards, the de?
ceased, my son Anthony and myself were on
board the flat coming to town, my . son and the
deceased were forward and I was aft. When the
sea-swash struck the boat I saw my son Anthony
strike the deceased across the back of the neck
with a bottle, kim og him. When my son struck
the deceased he fell overboard. My son Jumped
over after him, and whiibt they were in the water
I saw my son endeavor to strike him again. The
reasoD, I suppose, that my son struck the deceas
ed was tlvat when the swash hit the boat and the
grater wa? coming La, deceased d? not row fast
enough. When we returned, home my son pro?
posed to harvest the corn,-to which 1 objected,
bot we broke In two tasks. He gave as his rea?
son for lt that he wanted to leave the Island and
g? to the marl works to make money.''
It ls stated that thc son will be ready to make
a confession to-day. Tho statement of the old
-man does not seem to be' correct. The body or
the deceased was horribly mutilated, there being
<ie*p gashes lu tho back of the head, in the throat
' amia the hip, which could not have been made
-?*4th a bottle, even with a broken one. The
. -wounds bore every appearance of having been
mode with an axe; this, coupled with the facts
- that While the flat was ia Elliott's Cnt. the accus?
ed lwrrewe? an axe, and after they ha<r returned
it, (and tt*W?s coreretrwltft WolW, fl? an examina?
tion has shown,) the deceased, who h SM bepi
moving about with them, was seen laying In the
flat "like he was asleep," leads to the belief that
th*) father and son murdered the deceased with
. the axe while they were in the Cut and t Ti-w the
bodv overboard.
THIS STRIKE ALONG THE WHARVES.
Meeting of the Longshoremen-Ccsaa
tlon of the Strike.
The strike of the members of the Longshore?
men's Protective Union Association because their
employers would not pay them two dollars and
a half for working from 7 A. M. to 5 P. M., and
forty cents for each hour's work after 5 o'clock,
has ceased.
Early yesterday morning they crowded around
the steamers where the men who were not mem?
bers of the association were at work, and attempt?
ed to persuade them to desist, but did not resort
to threats or force as on the previous days. In
this way they spent the day until 12 o'clock.
I At half-past 12 o'clock, about one hundred and
twenty-five colored and eleven white men, head?
ed by Alderman T. J. Mackey and the Chief of
Police, proceeded from the wharves to the City
Hall, inside of which they assembled.
Toby F. Clark, colored, president of the associa
tion, moved that Alderman Mackey take the
chair.
The motion was carried and the Alderman took
the stand, and thanked the assemblage for the
honor conferred upon him. He felt assured that
all present were determined to assert their rights
without Interfering with the rights of others. He
beli?ved that their demand was right, and advis?
ed them to stand Arm; in union there was
strength, which assertion he illustrated by the old
story of the old nni\ and his sons and the bundle
of faggots, which could not be hroken when unit?
ed, but were easily snapped when separated.
The speaker harangued them in this strain for
some time, and then told them while- they be?
lieved that they were In the right, and were pre?
pared to defend their rights, lt was well to con?
sider awhile and see if it was not best for" them
to think also of the- rights of their employers.
Do you not think, said he, that lt would bc best
for this strike to cease and all hands go to work f
If the employers and employees both give away a
little, the matter can be easily settled. He then
proposed that the longshoremen should either
agree to .work from seven A. M., to six P. M., for
$2 50, and receive forty cents for each hour they
worked after six o'clock, or to receive twenty
five cents for each hour they worked during the
entire day. Kow if you decide to do this, and
then notify the shipping agents of your terms,
and they refuse to accede to them, stand out
against them, and every true man will contribute
to support you while you continue to do it.
At the conclusion of the speakers remarks, Toby
F. Clark, colored, president of the association,
said that the provisions of the constitution of the
association were in conflict with the propositions
made by Captain Mackey. As for himself he was
willing to accede to them, but before any action
was taken he would like to consult with some of
the members, which he did, and then stated that
there were a large number of colored men pres?
ent who were not members of the association,
and he desired that no action be taken until they
left.
At the request of the chairman all who were
not members of the association left the hall,
leaving about seventy-five colored and eleven
white men.
During the consultation the chairman drew
up the following resolution, which he presented:
Resolved, That thc members of the Longshore?
men's Protective Union Association agree to work
, from seven o'clock in thc morning until six m the
evening, provided that each man, (except thc fore?
man, who shall receive three dollars per day,) be
paid two dollars and a half a day. and forty cents
an hour for each hour's work after six o'clock:
but they will not agree to work on shipboard
alongside of any green hand not a member of the
association.
J. A. dillard, colored, moved to amend the
resolution so as to read from "half-past 7 o'clock
in the morning,'' Ac.
After considerable discussion, the resolution
was adopted as amended, with only three dissen?
ting voices.
The chairman then requested the president of
the association to appoint a committee of five to
walt upon the employers and present the resolu?
tion.
The president announced himself, T. K. Martin,
J. A. Gilliard, A. J. Taylor, colored, and Wm.
Willis, white, as the committee.
The meeting then adjourned, and the commit?
tee, headed by Alderman Mackey, proceeded to
wait upon the employers.
A conference was held between the committee
and the shipping agents, the result of which was
that the agents decided to employ the longshore?
men upon the conditions embraced In the resolu?
tion.
At night a meeting of the association was held,
when, after much debate, the constitution wes
amended so as not to conflict with the following
agreement, which was presented and unanimous?
ly adopted: *
CHARLESTON, October 6, 1869.

tween the Longshoremen's Protective Union and
the shippers, are as follows:

2. The Longshoremen are to receive for a dav's

be paid for extra at the rate of forty cent9 an
hour.
3. The employers are to call the roll of hands at
a quarter-past seven (7J?) o'clock, and if any man

be put at work. And if a mau comes after the
hour of half-past seven, and ls set to work, he

interests of their employers.

THE FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Several Person? Injured.
About seven o'clock last evening, a fire occur?
red at the furniture establishment of Mr. R.
White, on the east side of King street, and secuiiJ
door from Market street, by which a considerable
amount of property was destroyed. ,
The fire originated in the third story of a brick
building in the rear of Mr. White's store, used by
him as a storehouse for furniture. The names did
not burst out for some time after the alarm was
sounded, yet there was "a dense smoke, which
only increased the difficattf'experienced, by the
firemen, who were promptly on the ground, In
locating the fire. Wien Its locality was ascer?
tained, another difficulty presented Itself-that of
getting to the fire with the hose pipe. Finally,
two or three lines of hose were run through the
furniture store, from King' street. Ho3e was also
run through the houses and lanes on Market street
and on top of sheds in front and rear of the burning
building. Every thing was now ready to play upon
the flames, but no water came through the hose
for several minutes, during which the fire gained
considerable headway, and for a time, threatened
the destruction of all the adjacent buildings.
While walting for the water, the members of thc
hook and ladder companies tore open the win?
dow shutters of the storehouse, and in a few.mo
ments thereafter there were several streams of
water playing In upon the flames. In an hour's
time there was not a spark to be seen.
The entire Interior portion of the storehouse
with Its contents were destroyed. The furniture
burnt was valued at about twenty-five hundred
dollars. It was Insured in the London and Lan?
cashire Company. The building was also insur?
ed In companies represented here by Messrs. Col
burn A Howell and Mr. J. H. Honour. .There was
some damage done by water to the houses
through which the hose was carried.
The firemen worked steadily and faithfully, and
but for the inaccessible position of the fire would
have quenched it In a few moments. As It ls
they accomplished all that could be done, and
but for the efficiency displayed we would have
to record the destruction of several buUdings,
and the loss of tens of thousands of dollars' worth
of property, instead of one building and a com?
paratively trifling loss of property.
The colored firemen were nt the fire in a few
moments after the alarm sounded, and worked
heartily, especially the members of the Comet
Star Fire Company.
CASUALTIES.
We regret to state that there were a number of
accidents during the fire; among them the fol?
lowing:
Mr. John A. Moroso, city editor of the Courier,
while climbing up towards the fire, slipped and
fell from the shed to the ?round, a distance of
about fourteen feet, dislocating a finger of the lef1
hand anil receiving several severe contusions on
the head. He was removed to the drug store of
Messrs. Raoul A Lynah, where the finger was set
and the other Injuries attended to. The Injuries
sustained by Mr. Moroso, although severe, are not,
we are glad to state, considered dangerous. We
hope soon to record lils recovery.
A white man whose name could not be ascer?
tained, received a severe cut on the head from a
falling brick. He was cared for at the drug store
of Messrs. Raoul A Lynah.
Mr. John fi. O'Neill, a director of thc Vigilant
Fire Company, while superintending the working
of the engine, which was at the well at the
corner of Market and Meeting streets, fell Into
the well. He was Immediately rescued from his
dangerous position and carried to the drug store
of Dr. Baer. lt was ascertained that Mr. O'Neill's
shoulder blade had been dislocated by the fall. A
physician was sent for and the shoulder set.
A colored man named Thomas Haynes was
run over by an engine, the wheels passing over
his stomach and hip. He is very much bruised,
but it ls thought that a few days of rest will re?
store him.
The wounds of none or those who were Injured
can be called of a dangerous character, and it is
more than probable that all will be able to re?
sume their usual labors at an early day. We
sincerely hope so. Messrs. Moroso ami O'Neill had
to bc carried to their homes. The colored man.
after a short rest, in the store of Messrs. Raoul A
Lynah,'was able, with assistance, to walk home.

Thc Courier and "Many Merchants."
TO THE EDITOR OFTHE NEWS.
CHARLESTON, Tuesday, Octo'ocr 5.
The Courier's "amende'' only places the writer
of the articles referred to In a moraridiculous
position than before, in writing of mattera of
which he knows nothing. ''He simply meant and
simply stated, in effect, that our jobbers should
make Baltimore their market." He would have,
for instance, our hardware houses, who import
direct their foreign goods, (they certainly can be
Imported to Charleston as cheaply as to Balti?
more,) stop Importing their own goods and buy
them In Baltimore. He would have our shoe
houses, (some of whom manufacture their own
goods, or a great portion of them,) stop this and
buy the? in Baltimore. He would have our dry
goods Jobbbers, (who Import a great portion of
their foreign goods.) stop this and buy them in
Baltimore. So far as domestic goods are con?
cerned, we would like to have the Courier's man
point out any advantage Baltimore has over
Charleston in offering Inducements to even Job?
bers In Savannah or Wilmington. It Ls well kuown
to business men that there nrc few goods manu?
factured In and around Baltimore. Shoes and
boots, an important Item In the trade, are manu?
factured almost exclusively East, in the neigh?
borhood of Boston. The> can be shipped to
Charleston at* cheap as to Baltimore. So with
other American-made goods. Why should not
Charleston be made the distributing point for the
South/Instead of Baltimore? Baltimore has been
considered a good coffee market. Coffee and
sugars can be imported as cheaply to Charleston
as these. The Blue Ridge Road will open to us
the Cincinnati aud Louisville meat and grain
markets. Our owu "City by the Sea," Mr. Editor,
ls naturally the distributing point for thc Atlantic
and Gulf States, the Courier's man to the contra?
ry notwithstanding.
This season's business has been double that of
any other season since the war. Instead of
writing up other cities, let us build up our own.
