FRoN CHARLESTON The Baltimore Ameri-

injured, but the correspondent Of the Times
says she will probably be sent North for re-
pairs. "wo devils" to remove harbor oo-
structions had arrived.
Charleston, Oct. 13th.-Firing continues
slowly this morning. Some interesting IN
forma ticn IS derived from the two prisoners
captured Saturday night. They state that
Battery Gregg and Wagner will be ready to
open upon the city in two weeks, ana that
( Gilmore is mounting many 3O0-pounder Par
rott guns They state that new four-gun
battery has been constructed between Gregg
and Wagner PARROT, the inventor OF the
Parlott gun. is on Norris island, supervising
the mounting guns, and that Greek fire con-
! sis.s of oakum soaked with a mixture Of ether
and cuano. They say the pig iron-clad frigate
Decatur. with three additional monitors, are
daily expected from New York. The two men
missing from recent expedition to blow up
the Ironsides, Lieut. Glassell aud the fireman,
are prisoners at Sulliyan's island, having been
picked up by the enemy's launches. They re-
port our FIRE from James island very effective
and annoying.
Charlie. ton, Oct. 14-There was very heavy
and rapid firing yesterday afternoon and du-
ring last night, chiefly from our Morrs island

false.

THE Matter OF THE CoSsULs.-From 4
Benjamin's dispatch to Mason relative to the
dismissal of Magee, and the appointment Of
Crewlani by Lord LYONS rs acting Consul AZ
Mobile, was by the direction Of the President
communicated TO Russell.
Russell, in his letter to Mason, assert. that
Her Majesty is the sole judge Of the conduct
of Magee, but he is willing to admit that the
so-styled Confederate States are not bound to
recognize any authority derived from Lord
Lyons, but it is very desirable that per- ons
authorized by Her Majesty should have means
of representing az Richmond, and elsewhere
in the Confederate States. the interest Of Brit
ish subjects who may be in the course Of war
previously wronged by the acts Of subordinate
officers.
This has heen done in other similar cases Of
States not recognized by Her Majesty, and
would be in conformity with the amity pro

Eighth Congressional District.

We give below the official vote in this District,
from which it will be seen that DR.. Ramsay's ma
jority is 259. If he had taken the field four weeks
earlier and had canvassed the District thoroughly,
he would have beaten Mr.. Lander 1000 votes. He
leads Mr.. L. in his own County, Lincoln, 90 votes,
and in the County of his residence, Rowan, where
he vas best known, he leads Mr. L. 572 votes. He
was candidate but few weeks before the election,
and made, we believe, but two speeches The Nc
suit is gratifying in all respects DR.. Ramsay pro
claimed himself in the contest favor Of speech
and free press--in favor Of la6sas eorpas that

and he also took bold ground in favor Of holding

Mr. EDITOR in the Governors Message we find
the following very significant suggestion Mr.. Wi.
ley, the energetic and faithful Superintendent Of
Common Schools sgains comes forward, through the
Literary Board, with an important recommends
ton for the establishment of . system of graded
seh9oss, one or more in each County, Of which one
hat the expenses are to be betrayed from the Liter
ary Board, the other by the County. The idea
meets my hearty appreciation, and in urging itupon
your favorable notice, hope you viii not consider
either Improbable nor untimely. 1t is, in fact,
favorable time to act in this matter"
With all due regard for the deliberately expressed
opinion Of Gov. Vance, and the Of
Mr. Wiley and the members Of the Literary Board,
beg leave to enter my solemn protest against the
time of extortion extravagant prices of all necessa
ries Of life, and the actual scarcity Of provisions-
The times are SO sadly out of joint that not more
than fourth of our free schools are at this day
enjoying the benefit Of having teachers and what is
said Of our county, may with truth be said of all
counties This sad state of affairs is the result of
sundry causes which would bear with increasd rgor
on all efforts to introduce the graded school system
Let us therefora enumerate these various causes,
and then let the Assembly say, if this favorable
time for the introduction of this system.
l. Our depreciatiDg currency. This extends it's
baneful influence upon every branch Of business,
and particularly upon our free schools. Teachers
now demand from $50 to $50 salaries per month, 10
that but very few schools able to engage teachers
for more than two MONTHS unless they have a cred.
it fund from former years to draw upon.
3 O. The scarcity Of provisions, added to our de-
precating currency, have increased the price os
board that the increased salaries Of techers viii ret
