It appears that at midnight on Monday, while the Cham \ ion was nearing the city, In a dense fog, which at this season of the year sometimes environs everything to a degree that one cannot see the length of a ship, the look? out sighted the steamer Isaac lieu, bound for Nor? folk, ahead. Both vessels seem to have discover ed the danger at the same time, and promptly signalled, but lt appears not quickly enough to prevent a collision. The steamers almost Instant? ly came together with tremendous force, and the Champion striking the Bell fairly on the starboard side, tore everything away from abaft the wheel? house to the cab-heads, making a wreck of state? rooms and gangway and breaking the shaft.- A man named Payne, an employee In the engine room of the Isaac Bell, heariug the signal, hur? ried to the rall to ascertain the cause, when he was ?bddenly struck and launched Into eternity. This was the only loss of life.

THE SAFETY OEJ>UE HOMES, Is the Police Force Adequate J-Only Sixteen Men to Seventy-two Milea pf | Streets-What is to be Done 1-Com munications front the Acting Mayor and Chief of Police. Our community are becoming aroused io the importance of doing something to pre? vent the commission of the crimes which are now almost a matter of nightly occurrence. That there has been an accession to the ranks of Charleston thieves, or else an extraordinary display of vicious energy on their part, grow? ing out of the hard times, is attested by the long list or thefts - and burglaries reported during the last thirty days. How to stop them la? the question. The police are comparatively pow? erless. We have taken pains to make Inquiries on the subject, and find that the total police force or the city consists of one captain, two lieuten? ants and but sixty-two men, including two ser? geants at the main Guardhouse. We have seventy two miles of streets. The largest detachment on duty at night does nor exceed sixteen men, and the "watches" are four hours long. These six? teen men are expected, by orders, to go .the entire rounds. Doubtless they do so. We h ave no com? plaint to make in this respect,.but ttu-re is reason ro feel aggrieved when you throw up your win? dow at midnight, vehemently shout "Police !" and see a burglar kicking up his heels with sar? castic indifference, conscious that tho public In? stitution you call for ls Just three-quarters of a mlle distant. If figures do not ile, and. sixteen policemen have to traverse our seventy-two miles af streets, lt follows, as a matter of course, that each one must take his gentle exercise over a beat our miles and a hair in length. Under these cir? cumstances, what can be expected but a Jubilee rt roguery ? There are only two plans whereby he evil may be cured. The first is to Increase :he police loree; the second ls for neighbor* to combine and employ a private watchman. Flf eon or twenty residences might easily be guard id by a single man, and the cost per week would >e trifling compare! with the peace of mind and lafety of property that would be Insured by his >resence. lt ls not Improbable that an arrangement of this ion will bc made at once by persons living tn ;ertaln portions of the city, where the legitimate >o'.lce aro looked upon as foreign curiosities, and heir movements are followed with as much in crest as would attach to the perambulations of a nan from thc moon. * Thc next Important question to be considered s, "Where's the detectives*"' Thereby hangs a ale-several or them. P. S. Since writing the above, we have recelv ,'d the following communications: OFFICE CHIBF OF POLICE. ) MAIN STATION HOUSE. J CHARLESTON. S. C., December 8, 1870. ) TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. GENTLEMBN-As I was considering the necessl y of publishing a card lu my own defence, lu re erence to an article which appeared In yester lay's Courier, under the caption of "Shall we pro ect our homes," I received a letter In that con tectlon from thc Mayor pro tem., which, although tattering to me, ls so full of other facts of impor ance, that I have concluded, with the acting iayor's consent, to enclose a correct copy of that etter for publication, which I think will be satis actory to ell unbiassed citizens. Very respectfully, H. W. HENDRICKS, Chler or Police. CITY HALL, MAYOR'S OFFICE, l CHARLESTON, S. C , December 7,1870. j 7(i])tain fl. IK. Hendricks, Chief of Police : SIR-Your attention Is hereby directed to an ar ldc In this day's Courier entitled, "Shall we 'roted our Homes," in which lt ls stated that "a esldence in St. Phillp street has been entered by mrglars yesterday morning for the second time n a few days." It ls much to be regretted that he financial embarrassment in which this ad nlnlstratlon found the city has compelled us to etrench, even lu the matter of public charity as veli as in the number of efficient police. I pre urac lt ls well knowu that a portion of the force, he night men or night police, as they are called, ecelve only twenty-five dollars per month from he city, this amount not being sufficient to sup? on even a single man decently; they are there ore obliged to work through the day, aud 1 be leve lt has been your rule to send them out only a the last watch, thus giving them a chance to leep one half the night at the Statlonhouse before ;olng on duty. > However, slr, although all who arc acquainted < nth you as a disciplinarian, even your enemies, \ viii admit that your superior ls not to be found ] ii the discharge of your duty; however perilous t may be. It ls true I am, and always have leen, opposed to the present system of night po icc, although lt was instituted for the purpose of 'that much needed retrenchment" In that dlrec lon by a former Mayor, whose fun* conviction. I lelleve, was that even fifty men were, and ari iow, quite enough to guard this city. However I nay differ with him as to thc abllliy of that num er to guard and protect rrom artrul burglars very house in seventy-two miles or streets, one hing'ls certain, thc prewii/oj'?'hus kept the city .s quiet aud more so than when more than one? al : Hie entire population was controlled us proper y by thc lesser number, and then the number ?r once (horse and foot) were nearly three times as arge as the presen t, which, with other extravagant petitions, has Involved Hie city in Its present em larrassed coadtlou (financially.) I,therefore, agree rith thc writer, let every citizen aid the police la irotectlng his house, and property, as the tux myers are now too heavily burdened to afford a ir?er police force, lt will be remembered that it akes more than one per cent, of the value of all he realproperiy ta the city to pay the interest ipon the city debt, one dollar of which the pres nt administration have not made, but have and irill continue, as much os possible, to liquidate principal and interest.) You are aware, Captain, of the urgent necessity vhich called thc Mayor td Columbia lu thc Int?r? ?t or the cit}*, lu connecilou with the Blue Ridge tallroad; not having time to summon his council, ,s before, to select one oUielr number ai acting in vor, according to ordinance, bat confiding the nterests or the city to me, which I thought would lot be publicly kuown, on account of the absence ir an official notice being published; but since it s known that the Mayor ls absent, I reel lt my luty that such censure shall not go unnoticed, ?artlcularly coming from the editorial columns of i journal so old and widely circulate! as thc fourier. Yours, Ac, (Sighed) M. H. COLLINS, Mayor pro tem. Mr..

History of the Society-Details of Old Times-The NeW Han- V Splendid En? terprise-The Dedication To-fflght. In 1832. a number ot the German residents of Charleston, tncluding others who spoke the language of the Fatnerland, desirous of drawing closer those social ties which are so eminently characteristic of the Teuonlc race, organized the society now so widely known as the Freund 8chaftsbund. Mr. John ttrohecker was elected the first president. The members assembled from time to time, constituting, as lt were, the nu? cleus of a hotly from which has emanated a vast amount of usefulness. Although not strictly speaking a charitable society, lt bestowed mate? rial aid upon the poor and friendless German, and made him feel that, while a stranger in a strange land, he could still enjoy the associations perpetua! ed by his people. In the year 1840, or about that time, other Ger? man socltles, some of them military iq character, were formed, but,~"among them all, the Freund schaftsbund pursued the even tenor of Its way, enlarging Its Held of duty, and Increasing In num? bers, until during the year 1852 lt was found neces? sary to reorganize. Mr. John Slegllng then became president, and so remained for sixteen years. At that time the society used to meet in Werner's building, on the corner of Cumberland and Meet? ing streets. Subsequently wiey asscmolcl in.the hall of the German Friendly Society, lu Archdale street. Under the administration of President .Slegllng, they continued to prosper, until at last the fluances of the organization permitted them to purchase a halt ui ?neir own in Society street. They assembled here for several years, but such was the growth of the Bund that lt became evi? dent, even before the war, that a larger and more suitable hall was necessary for their purposes. From a mere handful of twenty, the society [has swelled Its numbers to two hundred and twenty. Ave. And of that handful, but one remains, namely: Our old and esteemed fellow-cltlzen, Mr. John Kllnck. Heaven spared him to enjoy a long life of usefulness, and to witness the happy fruition of lils generous endeavors rorty years ago. May many years elapse before he reaps lils highest and best reward above. In consequence of the war, the contemplated plan of building a handsome hall could not bc carried out. Still, the object being kept steadily In view, a suitable lot, ninety by a hundred and Qfty feet lu dimensions, was purchased tu Janu iry of the present year, on the corner of j Meeting md George streets. The architects, Messrs. Abra? hams A Seyles, submitted their designs and in iccordance therewith the corner st ine was laid, with Imposing ceremony, on?the 22d of SFebruary ast-the birthday of Washington. Since that :lme the work has steadily progressed, and thc Freundschaftsbund possess to-day one of the nost elegant and substantial structures of the cind in the South. What is better still, lt ls paid for. The building was constructed on Shares of lfty dollars each, every one of which ls held by members of the society, and cannot be sold opt of ;he society. Eventually a .sinking fund will re leera then. THE OFFICERS OF THE FRBUNDSCHAFTSBU?iD.
