v CITY IMPROyiMENTS. IMPORTANT MEETING OF-THE CHAM? BER OF COMMERCE. The Condition of the limb ir and what ls Re qui rt il to be Dont -Trie Import? ance of Establishing Water Wai ks In Charleston-A Committee to be Ap? pointed. A special meeting of the Chamber of Com? merce was held at their hall, at two o'clock: yesterday afternoon, President S. Y. Tupper in the chair. President Tupper fold that the meeting had been called to receive the report of the com? mittee on bar and harbor improvements-a subject which the Chamber bad. made a specially, and to which it had always devoted an earnest attention. The representations of the Chamber had been listened to with atten? tion, and thew was reason to believe that (he government would consider favorably the applications which might now be made. General W. G. DeSassure, from the com? mittee on harbor Improvements, read the fol? lowing report: To the Charleston CItamber of Commerce: The committee to whom was referred thc letter ot Honorable .P. A.. Sawyer, uceo m pa . nied by the reports to the Secretary of :War by General Q. A. Gilmore, and through Gene-: ral Gilmore of Colonel William Ludlow, rela? tive to the Improvement of Charleston har? bor, report: That they have considered with mu iii attention the able and interesting report by Connel Ludlow, upon the beach or Sullivan's Island channel, and cordially concur in bis recommendation of an appropriation not only to remove the wrecks in and around the har? bor, but also for the dredging and improve? ment of the beach or Sullivan's Island chanael. Some of the committee have had the privi? lege hitherto of dlscns-ing at some length with Colonel Ludlow, the influence of the tides and currents upon the channel ways leading Into Charleston, and with much cour- ' tesy and kindness be furnished h member ot 1 the committee with the soundlogs, Ac, which ? be had taken. It may not be improper to say that Colonel Ludlow seemed much impressed with the influence which was bring exerted , by the shoal to the eastward of Fort Sumter npon the more northern channel ways Into the ' harbor,'aod that proper artificial belp given to i the natural tendency of the currents would probably still more Improve euch channel ways. The report by Colonel Ludlow, and 1 the personal examinai ions ?made by so me of < the committee and o tirer, members ot the ? Chamber, show that despite of the wrecks which have been piled up in the Beach chao- ( nel, not only has there been no decrease of i Water (except around the wrecks.) since the. t last dredging operations In 185?, out if there is any change, it ls decidedly for (He better. The committee desire earnestly to call the { attention of the Chamber to the benefit to 1 arise from the Beach channel being made use ? of. The. late Captain M. Berry, one ot the most experienced' sea captains who plied to Charleston, has repeatedly expressed to some 1 of the committee his appreciation ot its c value, and frequently said mat he regarded lt as shortening nls trips to New YorirtV almost 1 two hours, saving so much of time and fuel ; and he has also repeatedly declared that upon I e many occasions be was able to run into port by reason of the land-locked and smooth cnaraoter of the channel, when, if using the Ic other or main ship channel, he would hare ? boen obliged to lay to outside, waiting for the , breakers to subside. The committee could add little to the opinion expressed by one so If competent. Yet .it may not be amiss to s iv, j t that from the trend of such channel lt rather 11 falls In with, the flownof the outside tidal wave, and consequently ls tar less liable to I having shoals thrown up across its mouth. I < The committee desire to express their ac- e knowledgments for the Important services I which Colonel Ludlow, ls rendering to the I. commerce of Charleston; hy the ability with 11 which he shows tho benefit to be derived from i improving the Beach channel, and the Interest i he manifests In endeavoring to obtain an ap? propriation for this purpose. ^ 11 The committee recommend The adoption of the appended resolution : .Resolved, That the president of this Cham ber. in the name of the Chamber, do. through I n the Hon. F. A. Sawyer, present a memorial to I the Congress of the United States, asking the I - appropriation of the Bum mentioned In tue re I f< port of Colonel William Ludlow, and for the a purposes indicated in such report. -, Tue committee has also been charged with I the consideration, of a communication from M Messrs. Lou)* J. 'Barbee and Frederick J. s Smith, engineers,, upon the subject ot im-1 ?rovlng the bar of Marleston, by tapping the I disto Blv^ex, turtling a part of its waters into the Ashley, anti by the scouring process of lt such increased volume of water, the washing 11 away of tomehat the'bar material. The com? mittee are nor possessed.of information or I. knowledge sufficient to make a.report upon ? the suggestions contained In thjs communica- t tion; but as germain to lt the committee do . desire lo ask the attention of the Chamber to a matter which, In the opinion of the commit- * tee, ls ot much moment. . , . c On 9th February, 1733-'3?, Captain Gas- t coigne adven lsed in the Charleston City Ga* j ze tte as for sale, bis plantation ''Hog Island, 11 opposite Charlestown, with the new dwelling house, Ac, built on a high bluff." The plan- t tatton then offered for sale ls now known to ns aa.aio w marah covered with?very tide, and " at spring ' tides even the parade of Castle I < Pines ney Is sometimes flooded. Within- the I memory of those now ' living, Hog Island j Channel was a comparatively insignificant creek. Now it Is a broad river, the channel 1 way of which has been cut-down to the lime? stone foundation, and. from eight to ten U fathoms of water can be found In it. The ef-1 feet of this ls to divert a considerable quantity 1 of the water of Cooper and Wando Rivers I ' from "their natural channel. The aid which ? those rivers'would give to the Ashley ina scouring process is diminished by Just as much as their volume of water ?B diminished. And it cannot be supposed that because these ( e water afterwards lall into the current near I v Sullivan's Island, that therefore they are aid? ing in the work. Exactly the contrary. From the direction in which these waters enter the current, the effect is rather to deaden the I n force of the tide, and throw lt dissipated j through several channels, ia place of pour-1. lng through one outlet. Far, some years past. " a chanael has bceqjjradually deepening across I a Crab bank, and seams-to show the, natural c course which the waters desire. Taught by this, art may give, aid to nature, ana by a l ., proper Jettee on the north po.nt of the marsh c of Hog Is'and Channel, a considerable part of I o the waters may yet be cast .back Into their 11 natural channel. - The wharves of the city probably acted as Jettees to throw th? water I 6 upon the Hog Island shore, and thero beluga rv natural run through soft material, the water"! c was dredging for itself. The committee de? sire to calf the attention of the Chamber to I u this subject, and to recommend, as connected I ii with the flrst part of this report, the adopilon I jj of the appended resolution: . Resolved, That the president of thia Cham-1 ber do, through the Hon. F. A. Sawyer, apply 8 (o tile Hon. the Secretary of War to have a s survey made of Hog Island Channel,' and an a estimate prepared of thevcost of putting ajettee I. from some point on its northern shore, with a Ic . view to deflect the waters therefrom back into I s the channel ol' Cooper River. .. I ( Respectfully submitted, . WILMOT G. DESAUSSURE, ) F. J. PORCHER, ? Committee. 11 H. GOURDIN, J lt February 5, 1872. I j On motion, the report and resolutions were I . unanimously adopted, and the chair request J, ted to memorialize Congress in accordance I, with the resolution of tho committee. l l On motion of the Hon. H?nrj Gourdin, it was j, unanimously resolved that the Board pf Trade I ? be requested to join in the memorial of the L Chamber to the Congress ol the United States. 11 President Tupper asked the indulgence ol I, the Chamber while he introduced a subject I, which he deemed worthy of their attention, j, and in which every- Intelligent citizen must I, feel a deep, Interest. It was the old project of I j introducing water into t fie city. The purposes for which the Chamber was I, Instituted, in the opinion of the chair, did not j confine them solely to matters of traffic and.]' the regulations of commerce, but whatever I '. bore directly or indirectly upon these objects 1 ? and tended to their advancement, or that ma-1J terlally affected the prosperity of Charleston, I were proper subjects for their deliberation. 1 : He supposed no one would doubt tbal the exl-tenc? ol'disease and the frequent recur? rence of an epidemic like yellow fever in a ciiy retarded li s growth and Injured Its com? merce to a great degree. ThiB was not a coi lffe of physicians, nor had he discovered any specific for the cure of yellow lever, but for j many years he had been impressed with che belle! that the quantity Of Impure-water that was drank from cisterns and. water^casks con? taining the washings of our roofs, 'combined with decayed vegetable and animal matter and dusty offal b'own upwards from the streets, as also the leakings into these cisterns of 8iiriace impurities, sewers and cesspools, contributed as much to the creation of dis? ease as any malarial or atmospheric influen? ces, and, in this opinion, he was sustained by some of our most eminent physicians. Not alone; for the purposes of health, but for cleansing our streets aad drains, and for the extinguishment of fires-more espe? cially for the latter purpose, when lt ls known that we are liable at any moment, from the neglect of the tidal drain keeper, to have our city again laid in ashes. All this admonished us that Charleston can never be secure against plague and conflagration, nor successlully compete with rival cities around her, until we have an adequate and unfailing snpply of pure anl healthy water. He believed the time bad now come to begin this work. Sa? vannah, Augusta, New Orleans and other Southern eil i-s were far ahead of us lu this respect. He disliked to say it, but he thought als j these cities were getting the advantage of us In point of health. He felt no despondency concerning the future ol' Charleston, and did not agree with some ot his friends that there was no hope before us. It wa3 true we were badly taxed, badly robbed and badly govern? ed by our State authorities, but still we were progressing. We had the elements ot great? ness and prosperity all about us, and a brave people should never despond. If we have been impoverished by wur, we have a re? source in our commerce, and the native energy of our people.- If debased by a bad government, we have a resource in the integ? rity bf the past and the promises of the future. What he desired was that the Chamber should now move in this matter. With Us In? fluence arising from numbers, wealth and in? telligence lt could at least give an Impulse to this object which would Insure its success. He was c<ufideat that if this subject was sub? mitted to a competent committee, with au? thority to confer with the City Council, a plan could be devised and successfully carried out which would secure the object desired without the objectionable feature of begging for stock subscriptions from door to door. He would be glad to hear the views of the Chamber on this subject, and suggested the appolutment of a committee to consider and report at a future meeting. Mr. George S. Cameron sustained the argu? ments of the chair, and expressed the opin? ion that Charleston never would be thoroughly healthy until she was supplied with fresh wa? ter, as proposed. This was the experience of | other cities, and he was confident that the money required for bringing water into Charleston could be readily obtained it a low rate of interest. He cor Hally concurred, therefore, in the sug? gestions ol the chair. On motion of he Hon. Henry Gourdin, it was unanl- j nously resolved that a committee of five be ippolnted by the chair, at his leisure, to take nto consideration the best means of bringing t supply of freshwater to tbe^lty. The chair stated that the clock to be placed >y the Chamber in the new Postofflce, was trdered, and might be expected to be in its place In two or three weeks. Mr. James Ravenel was unanimously elect id a member of the Chamber. Colonel R. Lathers said he bad noticed that ittempts had recently been made to organize i movement for the repudiation of a part of he elly debt. To all such propositions he was iteadfastly opposed. The debt of the city was in honest one, whether wisely contracted or lot, and lt would be bad faith and bad policy o reject any part of lt. Any agitation to that ? md would give the public the hurtful and irroneous Idea that this people were the ad? vocates of general repudiation. He was con Ident that tbe Chamber was opposed to the epudlatlon of any part of the city debt, and ie would take an early opportunity of submit? ing resolutions upon the subjeet. The Chamber then adjourned.

A SUCCESSFUL 'LAUNCH -Yesterday afcer loon the huge flat to be used by Professor ?. Maillefort In his wrecking operations in the arbor was successfully launched in the dock t the foot of Inspection street A large rowd, among whom were a number ol ladles, ssembled to watch the operation, and heered enthusiastically as Hie Immense ma bine moved with increasing velocity towards be water and Anally rushed into its proper lemont with a "'swash" that sent a large rave far out Into the river. The flat was onBtructed by Messrs. Pregnall <fc Brother ipon the plan furnished by the professor. It 3 built of the strongest timber, and is divided uto three air-tight compartments. It ls eventy-flve feet long, twenty-five feet wide nd Ave feet deep, the bull closely heatbed wiih metal ana covered with a trong air-tight deck without a hole In lt from low to stern. The house is now belog con? ducted on the deck, and the workmen are ingoged in putting the eugine aboard and fit? ing up the lifting apparatus.

The Palmetto State Hes Bunk at the mouth ot Town Creek. The ener? getic professor has already cleared away Lhe wrecks of the Charleston and Chi ;ora as far as his contract requires. From the former he Ashed up a neat little inde? pendent horizontal engine of twenty-horse power, which was probably used for driving the blower. It was si rrounded with a mass of charcoal, mud and debris pf the wreck, and was taken up in a perfect 6tate of preservation. It ls now Axed up in running order, and the professor takes a pride in exhibltlog it to his visitors. As soon as the Palmetto State ls re? moved, he will begin to work on Mafllt's chan? nel, where the wrecks of the two iron block? ade runners and that of the Patapsco will al? lora employment for all his energy for months to come.
