The Fire in Charleston.

We give in another place the particulars Of the late
fire in Charleston. We regret that among others our
esteemed and worthy friend Leonard Chaplin has met
with the misfortune Of having the larger part OF his
valuable stock of Carriages together with his work
chops destroyed. Weare grat6ed however in stating
that Mr. Chaplin saved part of his stock, ana having
previously-the past spring-leased the establishment
of the late Mr.. Gayer the corner of Meeting and
Wentworth Streets nearly opposite his extensive Res
pository and having stocked it with assortmentof
vehicles and carriages he is able still to supply his
numerous customers with any thing which they may
desire Mr. Chaplin is apan Of too much recuperatve
energy to be discouraged or permanently injured by
this unfortunate accident besides being insured we
presume he will be nearly if not quite paid Tor all his
losses the inconvenience Of being burned out under
the most favorable circumstances is always consdera-
be and it will be some time yet before he get un.
der full sail again However, houses are soon rebuilt
in Charleston and it sometimes appears as If they 60
up by magic The stores on Hayne street, destoyed
by fire last spring. have, we believe, been rebuilt and
the merchants all again ready to give attention to
their customers.

All Right Once More.

The difficulty between the Postmaster General and
the South Carolina Railroad Company has been par-
tally adjusted.
True to their resolution and right too-the South
ern Rights Advocate to the contrary notwithstanding
the Company would not receive and forward the
mails to, or from, Charleston Thursday and Friday
On Saturday morning we were much gratifed to learn
from our Postmaster that the Department had given in,
and would come to terms and that regular mail facili-
ties would be once more afforded us. The several de.
spatches and the correspondence between the parties
is given in the charleston papers, OF which we had cop
les on Saturday. but the public we conceive are but
little Interested in the Details and the point OF most in.
terest is, that We are hereafter to have the mails We
never know how to appreciate properly our blessings
and comforts until deprived Of them; for example
were without our Charleston exchanges for two days.
and really seemed that we might as well have done
without anything else, for they are to the country
press sine qua non and no mistake. skillful sciz-
zorizer and the Charleston papers always make up
pretty good Weekly paper without any further aid
It is true received regularly the visits Of our es-
teemed friend the Carolinian, without which, what
would we do?

Our Grand Jury's Presentment.

q. Among other things our Grand Jury presents the
necessity Of there being Penitentary established in
this State. We heartily approve Of the proposition,
and sincerely trust that the good judgment of Leg
isature at distant day will comply with the wishes
of majority of the people of the State and establish
soon this very necessary and useful institution. There
are various objectors to the scheme who opposed
to any movement of the State upon this pont1-let
those persons suggest better mode of meeting out
justice and equalzing punishment to offenders and'we
are ready to abandon this favorte idea of ours and
Join in with them to accomplish object exceeding

some cases is entirely too severe, and hence many vi
