THE CHfAtLISTON STEA4tsItir LitNE -Ill passing through the Phil) yard of Capt. J. A. Robb a day or two since, we noticed that tihe pioneer steamship which lie is building for the lino between thiscily and Charleston, . C., is being pushed forward ,vithinuch despatch, tle entire fraine of the Messel being nearly up. Ier :nodel already dip. plav the beautiri clipper-ike proportions which it is designed to give her, and which even to the cursory spectator give evidence of the rapid sailing qualities sihe will possess. Ier birthen will be about 7M) tons. She will be a propeller steamer, her engines and machinery being already in progress at the establishment of Mr. Charles Rteeder, on the south side oft lie Hlnsin. The vessel will, we feel confident, ill every respect, prove one of the finest and most efficient steamships of her class which has ever been built. Suited, as experience has showi this description of steanships to be. to a trade like that between this city and Charlestotn, we are assured that her launch will be the foundaliin of a permanent and prosperous line, greatly advantageous in its resu Its to tle comunercial interests of both cities.-..
