M\V?'^n&uneed ftomo ago that the
vKcrs of .the large foundries and shipyards
the upper part of the city bad discharged
groat numbers of their workmen, in <x>nse
<||^nce cf the bard times they are now experiencing.
We have since learned that their
example 1ms been followed by nearly all the
large establishments in the city. The Novelty
W-?rks, the Mcjun Trw WpfV% the Ihblc
and Tract Houses; the Methodist liook
OoocortJ, besides a great number of shops
and smaller establishment*, have disjrensed
with, ou an average, over half their workmen.
' ** "It has been estimated that in tho eleventh
Wsyd alone there are over three tliou*
aud mechanics out of employ met) t; a^d that
in tlie whole city there cannot be" less than
seventeen thousand laboring men who have
* no work, nor any Prospects of work.
To aggravate toe distress, employers have
cotue to a very general determination to reduce
the compensation for labor, and thereby
reader it still more difficult for those who
have work to help thoeo who hare not In !
tlie meanwhile rents have not diminished,'
though tlie capacity to pay them has. Pro-1
visious arq still high, as our lust week's market
report will show, nor Is there any reasonable
prospect of their becoming much chcnpIn
view of theso facts, and unless something
is done, there is every probability that
befbro the winter w over, tbo most inteuse
suffering will prevail among tlio poor.
In addition to what \vc have, already noticed,
.wc understand that the 'India rubber
works in Brooklyn have discharged over
thirteen hundred men, and that tho dock
yards of Brooklyn, Williamsburg hud Green- J
point-present a very different appearance]
from what tlrev did last summer, as over'
two-thirds of the men have been discharged.
The Board of Directors of tho New York
and tCrieHailrond have decided to reduce
the pay 6f most of their emplovers. An order
to this effect was sent up the road, aud
last night the laborers at. Biermont refused
to work ut the reduced price?8U cents per j
clay.

with which she moves through tho ditFerent 1

enough to entrance the listener. One r.n- J

The'Centenriial Anniversary of the Ancient ,

ted here on Wednesday last. The different ]
Lodges in the State generally were well ffcp- |
resented. The procession, which numbered, (
we presume, near five hundred Masons, enrol>cd
in all the paraphamdia of the order, \
with banners nnd ensigns floating, marched -j
from the Masonic Ilall to the Hull of the t
South Carolina Institute, wlicre, after-a
prayer from the Grand Chaplain of tlio
Grand Lodge, and music by a clioir of sing- y
crs, they were addressed by T>r. Dickson of *
Orangeburg, in an Address of surpassing el?- i
gnneo and beauty. To attempt oven a do^-jj
dipt ion, by us, would, -flfiiiou nL to a
\ (f'efraotioa^'orit* merits, and therefore we ^
orhear making the effort. * ll
Itv the way, speaking of the Hall of the ir

ll
icw building?having been completed but
i short time by tlio State Agi ivultHralSociety y
aid is very imposing. It* style of architoc- |j
arc is quite handsome, and were we a coni'mi*- tl
eur in matters paitaiuing to the beautiful, ^
re would venture tlio remark that its into- j
ior ffiusli is uncqnalled by any otlier build- y
ng we ever saw. The next annual fair of

our previous impression that they
ad their origin in Virginia long prior to linear
1810. Mr. Finleysnys:
"While on this subject we nnly take orc^I

??f the coat inconveniencing tho wearer when

when they did opert fire, aw you may imagine,

After lying down for about ten minutes I ^

the idea that if there was one of tbom meant
for toe, I could not possibly avoid it. I took
out my opera glass, and watched the Moeeedinira
of the enemv. In a vervahort time
I knew every gun ?hat would bear on Jay
position, and you way imagine my foelinga
when-1 saw those guna discharged. '
The intervals between the discharge and
the arrival of the shot, (which waa sure to
pitch somewhere near me,) were not, 1 confess,
the happiest moments of mv life. I
can't describe the feeling exactly. It was
not fear, but it was something of the Mine
nature, I suppose. At all events, it was very
unpleasant If you wish to have my autograph,

some day, one of thtm may take a faney

shells bust close to where I am sitting and
Ono of the men lias brought mo a very uglylooking
fragment of oneof them. I Am writ- ,

thrown up for the defence of the picket. My
Kick is nearly broken, and I 'am perfectly
bothered and conftised by tho incessant firing
from our lines ami the town, which is now
going on for its sixth day. I think the ltus- ,
