PALMAOI; QUI MEROIT.-WC learn from a let? ter written bj Mr. James M. Enson to thc "Rural Carolinian," that thc "Scientific American-' de? nies tho truth or the s'atcmcut that the late Mr. Nicholas W. Darrell was the first engineer who J ran alocomotivc on thc South Carolina Railroad, ami asserts that a Mr. Dcgnon "was the man who took charge of UioarBcst Friend' on Its way to Charleston, and ran this locomotive three months or thereabout, ineauwhile givlnsr Mr. Dat roll thc necessary instructions to qualir.tr him for thc post. The following year he executed a similar commission with a second locomotive. In proof of his statement, Mr. Dcgnon rererred us to Horatio Allen, and other prominent engineers and manufacturers of this city." Mr. Easoa in replj scuds a letter from Mr. J. D. Petsch, whom tic styles "thc ablest mechanic in ; our country." Mr. Petsch says: I I will giro von thc history of thc "Pest Friend'' in as few words as possible, and ls as follows: Mr. E. L. Miller, who contracted With thc Smith Caro? lina Canal and Railroad Company to furnish them with a locomotive suitable for their road, was be? hind time In its delivery. His excuse for being so was that ?ic could get tio one at that season or the year to come ont South with the engine, and us there was no one in Charleston competent to put the engine together he was forced to delay the shipment of il uutil later in the season, when he would be able to ming a competent person with him to erect the same. The letter of Mr. Miller was at tuc time published in the daily papers of Charleston. He. however, brought the engine lo Charleston without his competent man, and called on Mr. Ttl OS. Doiterer to give him assist? ance in putting it on the road. 1 was at that time foreman of Mr. D.'s establishment, and was re? quested by him to undertake thc joh. I at first objected, on account of Mr. Miller's published let? ter, but to please Mr. Dotterer. at last consented. I took Mr. Darrell, who, like myself, had served hts apprenticeship with Mr. Dotterer, and was Just out of hi? time, to assist me. After erecting audpat?ug inc ?n?;?!!?? on road iran it for titree or four days, having Mr. Darrell with meal! Hie time, and then turned her over to him as its engi? neer, in which capacity he continued until it ex? ploded its boiler. I might mention that previous to its explosion, Mr. Dotterer hail cast, and pur under her (under my superintendence), a pair of new driving wheels in place of the original ones, which were made of wood, and which gave out after running about a week or ten days. The second cngiue was call?d thc "West Point," and was built at the establishment of that name in Kew Turk, where thc .. Rest Friend"' was also built. Mr. Darrell run the "West Point" while the "Best Friend" was being rebuilt. The third engine was the "South Carolina," an e'ght-nheel engine, built at the same establishment, on a plan famished by Mr. Horatio Alien, chief engineer of the road, aud was thc flrst eight-wheel engine ever built. Ur. Pegnon anne out mitti that en? gine on thc part or thc West Point company, and superintended Its erection. After he left I gave her In charge or Mr. Darrell. So yon will perceive that so rar lroin Mr. Deguon running thc "Best Friend," and teaching Mr. Darrell, that he did not come to Charleston until alter Mr. D. had run thc " Best Friend" until her explosion, and han neen transrerrcd to thc second engine, the "West Point." and had mn it for months. You are aware that from thc time of putting cast-iron drivers under "Best Friend,"'until the comple? tion or the road, I had charge or thc machinery department or South Carolina Railroad. Mr. Horatio Allen and Mr. 1). Arnold, his assistant, can vouch for thc facts above stated. You are welcome to make any use you may think proper of this communication, In vindicat? ing Mr. Darrell's claim, the first locomotive run? ner on thc South Carolina Canal aud Railroad Company, which was in 1830. *XTna NEW OPPRESS ox LICENSES.-Thc bill ..to regulate licenses,'' now pending before the City Couucil. is the chief topic of discussion among onr citizens at present, and complaints, both loud and deep, arc frequent. Yesterday morning, wltha view or ascertaining something definite in regard to the proposed workings of thc provisions of this bill, a?d also something relative to thc taxes upon personal and real property, wc called n;.on Mayor Pillsbury, and he, In response to our questions, answered substantially that, thc Interest or thc city debt was $314,000, one-fourth of which ($:s,oooj would have to be paid during thc month of January: that to meet this thc 'bill to regulate licenses" was introduced; that ir its provisions be carried out, $170,000 could be ".aised: that there would bc introduced shortly an ordinance providing far the taxation or real and personal property; at what rate he could not say, but it would have to bc sur flclent, with the tax on licenses, to defray thc ex? penses or thc city government far 1S70, which would be about $800,000. Here our interview with thc Mayor terminated, and wc then called upon the appraiser and learned from him that the appraisement or thc real property had not been completed, but he was ol the opinion that the value or lt would be a little over $22,000,000. Thc value or the personal prop? erty he did not know. Tho personal property of the county ls valued at $8,500,000-making the value of the city's por? tion perhaps $0,000,000. In thc appraisement of thc real property the glebe lands (which have never before been assessed) arc included. From parties who ure iu a position to know whereof they speak, we learned that an effort would bc made at thc secret session or Council (held lau night) to modify the "bill to regulate licenses," so as to make Hie tax fall equally upon all, instead of heavily upon those who arc the least able to bear lt, as the pro? visions of tit: bill (as lt now stands) provides. It was also thought that the clause or thc bill rela? tive to brokers, of which they very Justly com? plain, would Jtc greatly modified.
