THE NEWBERRY KC-KLUX_Mr. Faulkner,

A CALL DECLINED.-We learn from the Sa?
vannah Advertiser, of yesterday, that Rev. W. S.
Bowman, of this city, has declined a call he has
received to the pastorate of the Lutheran Church
lc havannah. Although we may sympathize with
oar friends in Savannah on their disappointment,
wi- are glad ol Mr. Bowman's decision, believing,
as we do. that he ls the right man la the right
place.
GENERAL WADE HAMPTON was in St, Louis
the other day. The papers there apo e of his de
meanojpas modest and retiring, indeed they could
not be truthful and do otherwise. The Chicago
Post, a Republican organ, mentioned the fact In
thu way: "Wade Hampton, who had some re?
pute a Tew years ago as a rebel raider, is prowling
about St. Louis." We admire the sweet and gen?
tle spirit of this Chicago man.
CLUBS AND STARS_Matthew Green, colored.
lodged for larceny and vagrancy, was sent to the
House of Correction for thirty days.
Robt. Chesnut, arrested for attempting'to steal
a ch Icken on Mr. Chap?n 's premises, No. 15 Presi?
dent street, was sent to jail for twenty days as a
vagrant.
A white man, picked up while lying drunk in
St. Michael's alley, was discharged on pleading
the first offence.
IMMIGRATION' FOB. THE FAR SOOTH.-Among
the passengers by the Dictator, which len this
city for Florida last Tuesday, were fifty Swedes,'
forwarded by Messrs. Fraser & Dill to the planta?
tion of General H.-S. Sanford, on the St. John's
River. This gentleman ls a Northerner of con?
siderable means, who has invested largely In the
South since the war. He ls now in Europe, and
has sent these emigrants through direct via New
?ork. They appear to be as orderly, quiet and
well-behaved ao any community could desire, and
will doubtless .prove of vast benefit to the section
to which they have been assigned. This ls one
of the best proofs that the lawlessness of a few un?
principled rn-n cannot deter capitalists from in
resting in those State3 where lt ls certain that
abor brings pr?flt.
CAPTAIS E. O. MORDEN.-We learn that a
lumber of the nautical, masonic, and other
.'r?enos of Captain E O. Marden, contemplate'
??dering him a complimentary excursion around
;he harbor previous to his return to his family
it PhtladeU hia, where of necessity they are at
present domiciled. Captain Murden resigned his
Jutted States commission, bis only means of.-up?
son, and cast bis lot with his native State. He
received two severe wounds in battle, and was
wice a prisoner daring the w?r, .aad since thea
vas so unrortnsately injured by a rill on the Ice
is to compel the use of crutches for nearly two
rears, thoa disabUog him.from resuming his nau
ical calling. Captain Murden is s;il! one or os,
md we trust that he may be successful In his
?(Torts to obtain such employment as wilt enable
Um to return with hts family in the faU to reside

FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT.
CHARLESTON IN HOL WA T ATTIRE.
The Charleston Fire Department-Thc
Procession-Appearance of Men and
Machines-Running for the Prize
Time and Distance^- Incidents, o.<.
One oi* the most prominent features of the
nineteenth ceutary ls the wide spread enthusiasm
for benevolent Institutions. Indeed, philanthropy
has become the spirit of the age. The whole
world ls dolus' honor to Wilberforce, Coward,
Elizabeth Fry and Florence Nightingale. Great is
the fame of the members of the Humane Society,
of the tender hearts banded together for the sup?
pression of cruelty to animais. Missionaries to
foreign lands, and the pr motera of education,
morality or religion, receive their full meed o*
praise. Father Matthew and his enthusiastic fol?
lowers have bad their day of glory. Vaccination
and chloroform have shed a never-dying lustre on
the names of Jenner and Morton. The victorious
Soldier, the brave mariner, the adventurous trav?
eller, the luged us mechanic, the sublime poet,
the erudite philosopher, all and their claims read?
ily acknowledged, and receive a well merited re?
ward.
But there ls one class of philanthropists, to
whom the work: has not accorded the high place
they so richly deserve; and ye: are they the bene?
factors of their race, in a far truer and more prac?
tical sense than your agitators for universal suf?
frage, women's rights, or whatever Ism happen
io be fashionable at the time being. From our
earliest child hoed we have been so accustomed to
rely on the fortitude and self-sacrifice of the lire
man, that we ar} too prone to regard his heroic
labors, perils and su uer tn gs, as a matter of
course; and this very familiarity often makes us
lose sight of bii worth, and underrate his no?
ble exertions for the preservation of life and pro?
perty. This band of heroes is i - be*found in every ,
civilized land. They form a universal. brother?
hood-one lb their alms and Instincts, their mo?
tives and actions. The fire bell ls the given sig?
nal, and the burning homestead their trysting'
place.
Have you ewr considered, gentle reider, when
lu the small hours of the night, yon heard the
dread tocsin's doleful toll, perhaps rose from y our
comfortable couuh.-and leaked out Into the dark
night, to view where the fire-king held his reek- |
less rout, and no: sering the blaze, er perceiving '
lt at a considerable distance from your home or
place of business, you let down the sash and re?
turned to your luxurious rest; we a*k, at such
times, do you ever think of the fireman-how
very differently the same tocsin's ring strikes on
lils tutored ear? The first fell sound of Its Iron
tongue rouses ilm from sleep profound; he
springs from his bed Instinctively, d/>hs his fire
scarred hat and coat, and, in large and rapid
strides, hies him to the engine house.
Oft la days gone by, ere our fair city had be?
come a rain, anc dire war orphaued her belfries,
in the dead of night have wc been awakened to
the fullest realUf.tioa of Edgar Poe's Inimitable
lines:
"Bear the loud alarum bells
Brazen bells !
What a tale or terror their turbulency tells !
in the startled car or night
How they scream out their affright !
Too much horrified to speak,
They can only shriek, shriek,
Out of tune
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy o( 'he fire,
In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic
fire." . i
"Oh the bells, bells:bells !
What a tale Heir terror tells
Of despair 1
How they cia jg, and clash, and roar ! i
What a horror they outpour
On the bosom of the palpitating air !
Tee the ear it tully Knows, i
By che twanging J
And the clanging
How the danger ebbaaud flows.'' I
How suggestive of horror, suffering, and dis- j
tress i or delicate women and tender children (
exposed to the pitiless storm-old age and In- <
fancy cast forth upon thc inhospitable night- 1
with weeping eyes aud bleeding hearts, to view j
:he destruction of all they hold dear, and round
.vhich their warmes; affections had centered. ?
tVhat more calculated to arouse our deepest sym?
pathies, to call forth our noblest efforts and
argest charity, thia snoh scenes of woe and sad- j
less. And yet how readily, we- delegate these ?
lacred duties to the Arenles, wfcfto ,we selfishly
uduige our ens<i. From -Jeat to year we nave
leen bim do his maufui endeavor, until at last
mr trust ia him has beco ue a raith; and, with <
foll confidence In his prompt response to the .call
>r succor, we are concent to let him bear the
jrunt, and'fancy that upon i ur shoulders rests j
10 responsibility.
In reviewing th ? history of the Charleston Fire
D?partaient, we t.nd that it ls naturally divided I
uto three periods-the lines ur demarkation bel?g ?
?he great fire of mas, and the generaLexchaoge"or <
land engines for steamers within the first two or
bree years arter Hie late war. lu 1S38. 1er Hie <
irst tirae. tiie utt-ir Inadequacy ot the old system i
ivas fully demonstrated, aud a total reorg ifliza- i
lon was the consequence. B fore that epoch i he t
Fire Department lu this city was "nothing bul a t
jucket concern," as we have heard our elders ire- |
puen; ly express il, and known to the present gen- ?
jra'lon ouly by triduion, or from the history of i
s'ed Brace, where a similar Institution in Savau- \
iah ls-humorou-l.r described la the mlrth-provok
ng pages of the "Georgia scenes." There is un ]
illusion, also, to t its same custom, in Schiller's 1
.Lay of the Bell:?
"Swung from hand to hand with zeal along '
By the throng. I
Speeds the pall." t
The engines wen small affairs, stationed near I
he Are, and supplied by these buckets. A line ?
ras formed, ge ue a', y by impressment, from the 1
veli to the eugine, au I along it passed thc buck- 1
its, from hand to hand; another line conveyed 1
lown the empty tuckets b ictagaia to thowell. J
'he engine company, in the meinwhile, are en- 1
faged In playing c n the fire. The want or4 hose 1
vas a serrons drawback: and even wheu the buck
its passed our or Hse,-*raa tera were not much 1
letter. A little engine would go to a welt and fill ?
ip, then go to the (fte and play upon lt, tu reim n *
igalu to the well as soon as Its scanty supply '
ihall have been ?xaaiftted. t
Before 1833 theie ireAiNr, l?( any public wells i
n the city, and the scarcity*of water was one of t
.he most serious hi udrauces to a greater eulciency
if the department. The city afterwards sauka 1
lumber or fire wells, but many of these have be- ?
JO mc worthless bj- the tidal drains. Wherever a 1
11 ain came ia contact with it tire well, the latter 1
ivas destroyed, as tue draius ar? on a lower level <
ihan the wells. 1
It ls very much to be regretted that among the 1
casualties or ihe late war we have to mention the .
destruction of nearly all the records of the depart- i
ment In this city,- iud we were tims fr?strated in !
our original design of writing a full and succinct
history of the fire organizations of Charleston. i
Heretofore the aauiversary or the department, <
the27th or April, always was tie great gala day 1
of oar city. For weeks the enthusiastic young 1
firemen worked ni^bt and day, burnishing their
darling machines, MUew-y particle or metal 1
about them shone like poll-tied allve'r. Their fair 1
friends fully equal:ed them in their seal, aud cou?
ti Hinted their quo*? to The pageant by the t. isre
fol wreaths, garlands md pyramids or natural I
and artificial flowers that .decorated the engine i
and hose carriage. The comest theil was for the
greatest distance any ol the eugln-js could throw
a stream or water. With thc change or rapp ira
tusltwasat once perceives that this would no
longer be a fair test, r.s ir wo-nd bc eisy
for any company to secure ' the victory
by simply procuring a steamer of greater
power than auy other in our department. A
different style o' contest was, thererore, in?
troduced, which has been found to work
well In other titles. The object ;now is to
run the apparatus a glveu distance, and.throw a
stream lu the shortest possible Mme. This has
the advantage of at once being vcrv practical,
encouraging manly and tieaithrnl exercise, aud
at the same time furnishing every possible ele?
ment for an hono'ablc riva.ry and friendly emu?
lation, lt was found best, however, to separate
thia contest or tournament from the anaaal
Mayor's parade Mid Inspection, as the'Ftre De?
partment had greatly outgrown its ante-bellum.
proportions, and lt was au bat, impossible to ac;
compUsa all these purposes ia o ac and the s
day. Hence the change of day.
The Preparation.
For weeks thc gallant boya have been prac
lng every night In thc vicinity of their respec
engine boase*. With an esprit de corps worth
the highest commendation, they have not spa
themselves, but after working all day at the fo
or thc carpenter's bench, on the scaffold!
standing behind the counter, or sitting at
desk, they have Leen found, to a man, at
place of rendezvous to prepare for the great c
test. Would-be-wise old men and socr old ma
may sneer at the ebullition of youthful en<h
iasm; but we who are not so wise know full n
that lt is only by such enthusiasm, and by si
singleness of purpose, that all that ls great t
good lu the world has been achieved.
The Gathering.
With the dawn of yesterday's morn all don
and fears were dispelled with regard to the wei
er. The clerk of the weather In Broad street
haved vtry creditably. The sky was of spot!
blue, and the sun's rays tempered by g-i
zephyts from the east. At an early hour, wi
the busy housewife plied her morning care i
went to market, young ladle?, with their thoug
on firemen bent, repaired to select positions p
vloos'.y engaged, where they couldlobtain a gt
view of the glorious com est. Firemen were se
hurrying to their engine-houses; and with a p
cisi?n that surprised everybody, the departmi
assembled at'the Citadel,.and at o o'clock thep
cession began to move, to the inspiriting stra
of Muller's band. Filing and connter-marchl
on the Green, with the tinkling bells of the ht
reels and sharp clangs from the trucks, thc co
panles flied steadily out of the gate, and took
the line of march down King street. The ll rena
were treated with all courtesy by the ml Bary a
thoritles, and with sentinels at the gates kc
away the nuisances In the shaps of young urchli
who usually are' the bane of these celebratloi
Perfect order was preserved, and a breathli
space allowed until the procession cleared the e
closure around the Green.
Down King street they marched, the bells rln
lng a* merry peal or anticipated triumph, ai
amid the waving of kerchiefs, the fluttering
dresse*, and bouquets thrown by fair hands to e
pedant firemen "looking up" to beauty's bowe
the column passed through Hasel street In
King.
The Order of Exercises

and has its engine hou-e In Cumberland stree

The metal work shone like burnished gold, an
the englue was bright and beautiful with ribbon
and Howers. A conspicuous feature of the dressin
was a mound of roses or every hue, and "Llttl

gave ample proof -by -its elegant ornamentation
of the high favor the gallant Young Americas en
Joy with f the softer sex. The engine bore the
motto, "Where dacy calls, tlicieyou will finer ue.;'
The hose carriage, howevi r, was the -objeeeuf
universal attention... Perched ou its top was the
uncouth figure of a most ungainly, naif-starved
looking, llv?.black>e&r. Beside him the explan?
atory legend, "Bear .iud for-bear." Behind Ursa

The procession moved down Meeting to Broad,
through Broad to East Bay, up Eas: Bay to
Queen, and. th rou ch Queen back* to Meeting
street. At tho corner of Queen and Meeting
they passed lu revlew*Tai'ter which they stripped
ttie engines of their decorations, and got them?
selves ready preparatory to the tournament nov*
about to commence. ' *
Thc Starting Point
was a pole, erected In the centre of Meeting

Insure fair p'.ay.
The Goal.
Three Hundred yards distant, opposite Ha-ne
street, ls thc Ure well from which each company,
In turn, was to draw and throw water. One hun?
dred feet beyond this was a rope, 100 feet long, to
mensure, the first splash of water that touched
thc mark. At this point were stationed Messrs.
W. 0. Whllden and-, acting as lime judges
assisted by Messrs. M. H. Nathan and P. L O'Neill,
who watched the dropping ol 'he bal.1, and gave
notice the Distant that water was-throwirto the
' required limit. The entire street, from Hay,ie to
Plnckney, was enclosed by ropes, lined by a cor?
don of policemen, who effectually did their duty,
keeping the arena clear, nud maintaining perfect
order throughout the day.

The committee of arrangements agreed to let
the Metropolitan, of savannah, use the ?teamer of
the ?tna lu the contest, they not having brought
their engine with them. The time made uy the
Metropolitans ander this arran gem en. was: Time

The first city, prize wasawarded'to.the.jEtna;
I the second to the Washington. The Pioneer
prize (offered for the engine that would get
quickest off the ground) was awarded to the
Stonewall. General John A. Wagener presented
the prizes, addressing ihe fortunate victors in his
usual felicitous manner. .The compliment was
acknowledged by the presidents of the several
companies addressed.
The Independents, of Columbia, showed what
stuff they were made of. and In fact, gave evi?
dence of pretty good training. Had they- been
accustomed to run their machine over cobble?
stones, there ls little doubt but they would have
contested the laurels with the .Etnas.
The Vigilants made a capital run; but victory
was not to be theirs. Their engine left them In
the lurch, and would not draw. They did not
contend Tor the Pioneer prize.
The Germans stripped to their work"-like good
fellows, but three of their men falling In the run
they lost several seconds-valuable time, which
could not be recovered.
Incidents.
Previous to going on parade the Pioneer boys,
with their apparatus, were .photographed -by
Sonder (successor to Qalnby A Co.) whilst In front
of the house of No. 2 'nook and Ladder Company)
in Wentworth street. ?
Captain MoTureous, a member of the Vigilant
Company, fell while running with the engine and
was severely bruised. He was carried off and at?
tended to.
One of the engines drew mnd from the well, and
in playing off besprinkled the chief and his assist?
ants wifh it,dlsflguring their handsome uniforms.
Several temporary drinking saloons, which had
been erected near the starting point in Sleeting
street, did a good business.
The indefatigable Brookbanks had a large can-.
vasa sign hung out, welcoming the nre depart?
ment, and inviting them to cake, ice cream and
soda water (for a consideration, or course.)
After the distribution of the'prizes, (about 2
o'clock.) the vast crowd dispersed.
Dint ii nee 'Flaying;.
At 4 o'clock P. Ju", the crowd reassembled In
Broad street, between Meeting and King streets,
where the contest for distance- playing was
about to take place. The German?, Independent,
Palmetto and Stonewall Companies entered the
list. Each engine was,allowed fifteen minutes at
the well corner of Broad and King streets, to use
one hundred feet or hose, and steam unlimited.
Captains A. B. Jarvis aud J. C. Lacoste were the
judges. The Germans rapidly got up steam, and
first took up their position at the well. In due
time they commenced playing off with a tremen?
dous head or steam, but the hose was unequal to
the pressure, and buTst twice.
T..e Germans tried hard to keep the pipe in
position, but the power of the engine was so
great that at one time the mea were unable to
hont lt dowu. Ana'cohda like, lt raised its head
swaying to and fro, and throwing a heavy stream
promiscuously, and quite unwelcome, in every
direction. The heavy pipe, In. its vibrations,
struck one of the firemen pretty severely, though
not causing serious inju-y. At last, however, all
worked right, and they made the distance of 263
feet and 6 inches.
The Palmetto came next. After bursting their
hose once, they played up by degrees, and ac,
compllshed the handsome distance of258 feet and
6 Inches.
Tire lateness or the hour, or else the apparent
hopelessness or surpassing such a throw, Induced
the Independents and Stonewalls to yield the,
contest, without playing off. The Pahnettoes, of,
course, carried* off the prize.
Festivities.
The visiting Georgians were entertained during
the evening by the Phoenix, with a handsome
supper at their hall, In Cumberland street. The
-E-.usH, together with a large number of other In?
vited guests, were present, and the evening was
passed amid good cheer, fine fellowship, ardent
toasts and eloquent speeches. The reunion, we
need uot say, was most happy-a flt and agreea.
ble close to a haf? day's work.
The Marions likewise opened, their hearts and
their hall, doing (he hospitalities to their Indepen?
dent visitors from Columbia Numerous Invited
guests assisted to.make things pleasant. The
boys had a good time, though lt would not sur?
prise us very much IT some or them had just the
least blt of a headac e this morning.
