THE PRsSrEe's SrRIKg Printers have
an association called the Printers Union. The
objects of the association are 70 establish rule
ahd regulations tor the craft. aud 70 combine TO
carry them out. On Thursday last the Union
agreed upon a new bill of prices. increasing their
compensation about 20 per cent. This was done
without consultation with the employers The
latter, upon consultation, agreed upon a new bill
increasing the pay of the employees about III per
cent. This compromise was reiu ed, and. BY
agreement, all the rrirters belonging to the Union
qui, work on Saturday. The men in our EN-
ploy, especially in the news department, express
ed themselves satisfied with the wages they were
making, but belonging to the Union they felt
bound by It's action Some OF them have been
engaged on the Sentinel for seven years, and we
regret that the associations of the past should
thus be severed. The printers in this city have
received a much larger compensation than any
other place in the state, and taking into conside
ration the difference in the cost of living. the
prices are fully equal to those paid in Cincinnati.
Not being willing to pay the prices dictated by
the combination, and coinciding in the judgment
of some of our hands that the compensation they
had rece we'd was fair. aud that the bill of prices
established by the Union is unjust, re concluded
it best not to yield. and submit TO the incoUyeni
ence the strike will cause us, until we can find
men who are willing to be influenced by their
own Judgment and sense of right.

CoSSIcTIcUT.-Tbe result of the election in
Connecticut ought to present a subject of pros
found consideration to the Administration. A
year ago that State was. 10 all iHtents and pur-
poses. unanimous in support Of the war. Buck
ingham was elected by 9 900 majority over his
opponent, but the opposition was based ON the
policy of the war, and was not opposition TO ear
rying on the war. Substantially the people of
Connecticut were a anil then. What is the posi-
ton now? One half OF the voters have solemnly
and seriously declared, at the ballot-box, their
willingness rather to 20 against the war than sus-
tain the present policy. 1t is not of so much i'm
portance whether that declaration is made by ii
few hundred less or a feS hundred more than
half the population. There stands the fact,
Calling them traitors, on copperheads, or any
other names. will not mend the matter OF conce !
the truth, and the dictate cf wisdom is TO seek
means of reuniting the people Instead of widening
this breach. The great gains of the Democracy
in Connecticut, the fact that the election seems
to have been carried only by soldiers votes. Sc
lected and sent home specially, while Others were
not allowed 10 come: The immense amount of
money expended, and the great e~xertiOns made 20
save the ticket-all these are reiliv less import

that the people of a new England State are thus
divided in sentiment on the subject of the war.
They can never be united on the radical policy

There were ten thousand encamped on James

two hundred in Castle Pinckuey. THIS gave to

II CHANNELS.

The CHANNELS.
To give the reader some idea Of the entrance
to Charleston, that were formerly used
Main Ship ChanRi-ln approaching the
Charleston bar to enter the main ship channel,
the vessel was kept in six fathoms of water until
up with the bell0Oat and the lighthouse bore
northwest. then opening Charleston five degrees
to the northward of Charleston light. following
this raDge, passing to the port side of three bar
bhoys. Having passed the inner buoy, the north
or further channel beacon by Fort Moultrie Icing
open about its width 10 the westward of the
south or near channel beacon, then the course
was north, until the two channel beacons were in
range. This led up the channel on a course of
north three quarters west, keeping Headquarters
beacon a little oper to the eastward of the range.
When Fort Sumter bore west one eighth north
aud Charleston light was opening midway be-
tween the two Morris Island beacons, then the
course was northwest by west one and a half
mile to Rebellion Roads. II bound up to the
city by the Folly Island channel, when st Phillips
spire opened TO the northward OF Castle Pinck
ney, and the spire of St. Michael's was open
about the same distance to the southwark, the
course was west one quarter north, giving the
wharf at Castle Pinckney a berth oil about two
hundred and forty yards.
The North ChanneL-This is a shnal channel,
and was used Only by light draught vessels
Motifs or SuLiDan's Island ChaRRd.-This
channel is quite narrow, and trends along the
shore OF Sullivan's Island. with eleven feet of
water at low tide on the bulkhead southeast from
Moultrie.
SuasA ChanneI-This channel is a branch
which enters the main channel. 1t has now The
deepest water, and will probably be used by a
portion OF our feet in the attack.
Overall ChanneL-Formerly the course of this
channel was a straight one, with the Morris
Island bea IONS in range, A number OF shoal
spots have been made in the channel, and its use
Is now abandoned.
Sanford Channel. has seven feet of water and is
only used by small coasting vessels. The shifting
character OF the sands which compose Charleston
bar prevents anything like permanence in the
channels, which are subject to frequent and very
considerable changes 10 depth and location, par
ticulariy after a southeasterly gale.
Charleston Lighthouse Latitude, 80 degrees

minues, % seconds. The lighthouse is situated
ON the south end OF Morris Island. and formerly
displayed a revolving light. The lantern is l25
feet above the level of the sea. and in clear wea
ther it could be seen seventeen miles. The re
bels have destroyed the lightning apparatus. and
consequently the lighthouse. The l~ightboat for
merly there was stationed one and a half miles
from the southwest end of Rattlesnake Shoal,
which served as a guide for passing clear OF the
shore. II was removed early in the rebellion.

BOATS

The rebels have in the harbor a few tug boats
and river steamers which are to take part in the
contest. and il is said that lately Il British steam
er ran the blockade SUCCESSFULLY and that she will
be armed for the occasion In addition TO these
arc the steamers General Clinch, Ettiwan, and
Chesterfield, which, not appearing on the Con
federate Navy Register. are presumed to be com
manded by State authority.

As Charleston is the point to which public at
tention is now most largely attracted, a brief de
s~cription of its defenses will be of interest.

FORT JOHNSON.

Fort johnson IS simply a huge sand battery.
IL is situated one and a quarter miles from Fort
SUMTER and mounts 4 heavy guns. The work is
considered by military authorities as the key to
the defensive works of the harbor. and espe-
ciaily important as a defense against a land attack.
There is a battery of four SEA coast mortars in
connection with the work.

rHE DISTRACTIONS.

The distractions consist of wooden cr.bs filled
with stones, placed at convenient distances from
each other, while between each CRIB are hJaling
RATS, made OF heavy timber, securely ls~hed 10
gether by cable chains, and then bOlted to an up
per layer of timber. which not only covers the
chains, but adds a bracing strength 10 the struc
ture. AT a given point this bar or broom is pro
vided with a movable gate which is opened TO
allow rebel vessels to pass in and out. This gate
is directly under the walls Of Fort Sumter. On
either side, and at n safe distance from the broom
are placed internal machines and torpedoes,
which are 10 be fired either by conclusion, or by
means OF a ~galyanic battery located in either fort

TIE CITY AND WORKS CONNECTED BY IELE-
GRAPH.
To enable the forces in the city and works to
Co operate. and also TO be able to warn the city
OF the approach of a hostile fleet, the city and
works are connected by a Geographic wire. The
wire passes from Charleston across to James Is
land, thence along the shore to Fort Johnson,
nearly opposite Ripley and thence to Fort
Sumpter 1t next connects with Morris Island
at Cummings Point. and then stretches to the
headquarters in the centre OF the island Thus
a vessel passing the channel in front of Morris
Island is rs Promptley knowni in Char lesaon as one
passing Sandy Hook would be known IN New
York. Consequently a complete CO operation OF
the whole of the works can be obtained. aud a
surprise of them is almost a matter of impossi-
bilitv.

number of small bridges on the Balti-

on Wheeling and there was great excite

have crossed over into Pennsylvania to

Intelligence has just been received from
