CHARLIE sTON.


The IriL,a'e's correspondent writes, under
date of JanuryT
The fires in Charleston always spread, and
burn for hours at a time. Last Sunday they
lasted eight hours.
One Of the effects of last weeks "stress of
weather" was the washing ashore of another
rebel obstruction at the entrance Of Charleston
harbor. II was a novel iron cable, composed
Of entire rails, linked together. A party Of
our soldiers hanled II on TO the beach. The
high tides, rapid currents, moving shoals and
strong winds have accomplished far more than
human ingenuity and energy could do To
remove this kind Of secesh defencos.
p. SD m.-In!oTmation Just received at
headquarters has been impaired to me that
there are three new iron-clad ships now build
ing in Charleston. Two Of these are fashioned
on the plan OF the Dunderburg.
Recently, while carrying dispatches 10 the
nag. ship Philadelphia, a boats crew attached
to the United States steam.tug Clover, were
swamped and six lives lost.
The names of those lost are as follows
From tug-bOat Clover-M. Davis, Masters
mate; - Miller, seaman.
From tug-boat Oleander-Frank and Benz a =
min Brown, seamen.
From tug-boat Geranium-George Russell,
ships boy.
Some OF the bodies, washed ashore on Morris
and Folly Island, have been decently inferred.
On January !, the United States steamship
Lelpsic landed field piece and fifty men at
MurrilPs Inlet, s. c., about sixty miles north
OF Charleston, and, In spite Of two hundred
rebel cavalry drawn up In line at a short dis
tance, destroyed a schooner laden with $50
barrels turpentlne and pitch, awaiting an
opportunity to run the blockade.

THE PIAGTK At THH CAPITAL.--Thls city is
in panic, and peaplc are fleeing from II In
every direction. 1t has been discovered that
smallpox, in Its most loathsome and InalIp-
nant form, prevails In all parts of the city, and
il Ia known that not less than fifteen thousand
people are sick with II, while hundreds, ifnot
thousands, are daily taken down. What Is
curious Is, that vaccination seems to have little
or no effect. The hotel keepers and property
holdsR are doing what they can to Keep the
matter quiet, but the excessive mortality is now
known To every one, and the whole city Is
horror-stricken. The negroes are suffering
terribly. The illness of President Lincoln
from small -pox, the dcathNOf Senator Bowden
last week from the same disease, and now the
dangerous condition Of Congressman Harris,
has communicated the alarm 10 high circles.
There is barely quorum of Congressman here,
and the hotels will soon be empty, unless the
plague stays its ravages. There is some talk
Of Congress adjourning to New York and
holding session, the House In Cooper Institute,
and the Senate In Irving Hall.
New York needs an extra stlmulant on Sun,
day mornings, and after reading the above
last Sabbath, New York felt better.
The same veraclous sheet had a telegram
stating that Secretary Seward is the prime
mover in the arrests in the New York Custom
House and the Treasury Department here,
Secretary Seward employing Col. Baker TO de-
tect frauds In the Treasury Department. The
writer Of the paragraph lies like an epitaph,
and II he knew thing or two he would per-
ceive that he has perpetrated the richest Joke Of
the YEAR 1864.
