OYE CHANNEL CLOSED. Sixteen YES
sells of the stone fleet have been sunk in
tho main channel of approach 10
Charleston harbor. The names Of the
vessels are: Archer. American, Courier
Rebccca, Sims, Richmond, Kensington,
Potomac, Maria Theresa, Robin Hood,
Herald, Tenedos, Leonidas, William
Lee, Fortune, Amazon.
The wrecks are not ranged in astraight
line across the channel That arrange
ment might prove an effective blockade
for time, but not permanently. The
theory of Captain Davis was, that the
inland waters about Charleston must
have q channel to the sea, and if the
usual one were artificially closed, another
would naturally form. His scientific
mind devised another plan. The hulks
are placed in three lines, checkerwise.
This arrangement not only does not
prevent the passage Of the water, but
ferns a series Of shoals, around which
the .idc will whirl and oddly, making an
intricate labyrinth which no vessel
could navigate.

TuE FIRE BELL.


IT'S night. The city robsd in darkness sleeps.
The watch alone his faithful vigils keeps,
The echssd FOOTBALLS on bis measured round,
By contrast make the stilnsW moro profound
Whom broken slumbsr wakes the watchful ear,
Faint distant murmurs deep and loud appear.
The quiet shades Of natures secret bower,
Arc not more silent than that sleeping hour,
A silence broken II feather fell,
Whom 10! with rapid stroke peals forth tho bell.
Fire! fro FIRE loudly floats upon the air.
Tramp! tramp! tramp! men to duty quick repair
The engines rol in thunder down the walk
Andovsr al ths speaking trumpets talk.
Look From the windows snoks and hAmes rush
OUT
Hear mid the crowd coarse stentor voices shout
See from the roof th. lid l.s.a ngnt appear,
And dusky ladders their long bodies rear.
Now high aloft L. borne the writhing hose,
And foaming fierce the noisy water fows.
IN clouds Of ere the burning shingles sail;
A meteor storm, the sparks unceAsing hail.
While smoky columns on the midnight air,
Their dingy banners in wild triumph bear.
Tho warning elements in fury rage.
And forcsr still the awful battle wage,
Till drowned at last beneath the rushing stroAm,
The FIRE dies out, urspt in shroud Of steam.

NEWS.


The main item of news is tho release
of Mason and Slidell, an act which dis
pels for the present, at least, the proba-
bility of war with England; the ne
cessity for full preparation on our part
however, is more than ever apparent,
for we know not what may be the next
pretext. An article in the Paris Const'
tutionnel of Dec 8, declares in substance
that in no event will France take part
with England in quarrel with the
American Union. Several engagements
of minor Importance have resulted ia,
vorably to the Federals, and, in fact,
the general current of success seems to
be tending in the right direction. Mat
ters wear decidedly more pleasing
aspect, and there is nothing outside at
this instant to prevent ourselves and
readers enjoying, as we hope We may, a
"HAPpY New YEAR"

We extract the following commu,
cation from ths Commissioners OF. l.
General Land Office to B. w Husto
Esq, of yssssr, from the rusco
Pionsr. 1t will be found Of interest
many of our readers:
GENERAL LAND OFricE,
Dec 4, 1861.
SIR.--I received to-day your letter
the 9th ult., presenting the followii
case, viz: w
"a, in the year 1850, took up fort
acres of government land upder th
graduation act at so cents per acre, pay
ing 90 dollars for tho forty acres, and
receiving his duplicate therefor. In a
few days A. sells the land aud gives
warranted deed Of it to Is. A. neve
settles upon il or makes any improgo
nirnn.., nor ever even attempts 10 prov
up his claim. Is AZ title good. SO tha
b., to whom be cold, can bold the land
&c?"
Apspr--Under the law and decisi,
Of this Office, the sale, under the circun.
stances stated, is invalid, and the claim
of a., by reason of bis not having made
settlement upon tho tract, Is irvahd
and liable to cancsllstion. The law
cheapens the lands to actual settlers and
to none others. Such is the condition
the act imposes, and when not fulfilled
the ground of purchase fails, and with
it the title. But as A. has abandoned
the land, B., under proper showing TO
that effect, after notice, and further that
he is tho assignee, and now the actual
settler, may be permitted to file with
the Register an application to enter the
land, and then DO allowed to do 80 at tho
graduated price, or If be cannot make
proof of settlement and cultivation, at
the ordinary minimum Of 81 rs per
aero.
The amount, however, which may
have been paid by tn. original porchas.
er, will be refunded to him o, his as
hgpee.
For any further information you may
desire / enclose a copy Of our printed
circular, Instructions of April z, 1856.
1t is not our practice to answer hypo.
thetical questions, but the points are 30
clearly stated Stated bby you, and have been 60
repeatedly passed upon, that ! am
pleased 10 be able to regard it 90 sn
actual case.
Very respectfully,
Your ob't servant,

could not deny the justice of the claim

the detention of the prisoners it would
be done"
