If greater publicity has not been given to this matter, the re? sponsibly does not rest with Cid. Aikon. Ho has dono his part, and all that the Seoretary expects is that the State press will do thoir part and thus promote tho publio interests. Complaints, strongly rodolent of in? dignation, are ascending from all quar? to's at tho neat little Bystem of robbery instituted by the United States Trea? sury, in tho redemption of mutilated currency. It is held that, except under undoubted ovidenoe of fraud, the Go? vernment has no right to deduct a por? tion of tho value of a note because a cor? ner becomes frayod ont in handling, thus throwing upon the people the entire burdon .bf tho wear and tear of paper currency.,; There is reason in this un? doubtedly.

The causes al work in tho Old World to hasten and greatly inore aso immigration aro numer? ous. ; Tho landless want oheap homes tho oppressed), Jroedom. Hero they cai obtain both. Hore they can^ocoupy t social equality, and aspire to a politica distinction denied them elsewhere. Hon they aro relieved' from tho burthens o an enforced taxation, which must bi greatly increased in Europe and ron dored oppressive by tho lato war, where as we oro gradually being relieved fron tho burdons of our civil strife. Indeed the full results of the war in Europ upon immigration are yet to bo soeu Independent of the cost of treasure am life which if hits1 involved, U bids fui to on gen dor other wars. All account ngroo that-the-ono thought uppormps in the mind of the French people.is re taliaiipn . for .their lato humiliation, am this sentiment is well understood in Ger many. It is reasonable,- therefore, t< expect u great immigration from tba e ?un try her oaf tor to avoid the threat o??d cost and perils of future war. Ii addition, it must now have become ovi dont , to all iutolligont Germans thu while tho. war with France has adde< greatly to' tho military renown of th nation, ii'has not improved the pros peote of free government.

Commenting on th matter, tho Baltimore Sun says: "After four days' argument in the cai of tho citizens of New York against tho plunderers, Judge Barnard, yesterday I made the injunction permanent, rosirai i ing the oity authorities from issuing ar . moro bonds, with oertain important o: copiions, and dedaring the plaintif! right to sue under what is called the tn per cont. Act of that State. As regan the oharges against Mayor Hall ar Comptroller Connolly, the Judge coi sures both unsparingly, though it seen to be admitted that the Mayor has ht no individual pecuniary profit from tl disgraceful transactions that have boc brought to light. In announcing h judgment, which he did amidst 'frant applause,' tho Judge said his duty wou not allow him to sanction the paymoi of another dollar out of the trensui until there was somo change in tho Boat of Apportionment, and that tho cou was juatifiod in resorting to every meal in ita power to stop this state of thing so discreditable to tho city. Tho dot sion gives general satisfaction in Nc York, and will bo hailed everywher umong honest men, as a good omen, c oonraging tho hopo that 'tho war may 1 carried into Africa;' that the politic elements which first Bet tho inquiry c foot in New York may be as earnest moved to instigate a like work in tho u fortunato States of the South, where tl first magnificent examples were given this wholesale plundering of the peor; by corrupt adventurers. Thocarpet-b? or Republican governments of the Sou are the fountain head of this font ni turbulent stream of rascality and oorru tion which has ran through the lan and those who haye dabblod in tho dir waters should bo brought to justice." , nop; ?. .?...?.?...? ; ii A respoctable and wealthy widow lad named Sarah Fanoett, living in Alaman County, N.

Tho explo? sion of those -villainous articles known as Uaiou torpedoes, in Beekman street, although causing a less numbor of deaths I than tho Westliold disaster, waa equally terrible and demoralizing. It was about 1 o'clock, when tho street woe crowded with passors -by, that a truok loaded with these infernal maohinos, pat ap in neat and iunocent-looking boxes, stood in I front of tho storo of tho dealer. A hoy, Henry Brown, was scraping the old marks oil1 the boxes, and Mr. Gold sehmidt, tho manufacturer,..was ro di-, rooting them. In unloading, the truck? man h ap pon ad to drop ono of the oases. In an instant the truck and its contents disappeared in a olond of smoke, accom? panied by an explosion that shook the ad jaoent buildings to their very founda? tions. Persons passing were dashed to tho ground or blown into open stores; windows and doors were hurled from their fastenings for blocks around, and houses rocked to aud fro to suoh au ex? tent that their occupants, wild with ter? ror, dash od into the street and sought safety in flight. The groat explosion was followed by a rattle, as of Bmall arms, caasod by unexploded torpedoes falling upon tho street on their return from their journey skyward. Por ? few moments a auAbcoting cloud of dust and smoke hung Uko a pall over tho stroar, but as it Blowly swopt away tho full ex? tent of tho disaster was revealed. The cruahod and mutilatod body of tho driver was found lying on an iron awning, while tho sidewalk was strewn with the doad aud dying, whoso groans and cries for holp wero agonizing in the extremo. Tho boxes, with their contents, had ut? terly disappeared, only a few pieces of the truck remained, tho street for four blocks was strewn with fragments torn from tho neighboring buildings, aud all in tho vicinity was a wreck. Tho toys which caused this disaster aro hollow globes of clay filled with a very power? ful dotomiling mixture, said to contain nitro-glycerine. Their salo hod boon prohibited before this accident. TUE HEALTH OP CHARLESTON.-A meeting of tho presidents of the com? mittees of citizens appointed to visit tho various wards in the city, was held, yesterday morning. They reported that every word had boen iuspooted, eaoh lot having boon carefully examined, and in? structed tho chairman to report to the Mayor the result of their operations, as follows: The reports from the various wards show the city to bo in a remarkably healthy condition, even when compared with years iu which no yellow fever existed. Tho number of cases of yellow fover, now in course of treatment, does not ex? ceed an average of two in each ward, and the number of persons sick from other cause J is astonishingly few. I The committees who make this report I are oomposed of intelligent and trustw? orthy citizens, who have personally visited every bolo and corner in Charles? ton. They aro confident that there are not mor? than sixteen cases of yellow fever in the whole city; and we may ex peot that the mortality for tho rout of I the season will be insignificant, j Only one death from yellow fever was reported yosterday-thut of a oolored mao, named Greene, who died on tho 17th. Tho total humber of deaths from tovor from July 25 to date, is fifty-seven. [Charleston 2/eios, lQth. DUET,.-Two goutlemen, of Augusta, Ga., Messrs. Wm.
