"SlGOi''UE OaCS SO'lic Ol our OIU Clt1
zens, former business ne1ghbors and
regular visitors at the Couri1r Office
in pleasant days gone By. Many Of
them have lost AL their property,
while others hope to rebuild their
shattered fortunes on the wreck Of
their once magnificent real estates.
1t is gratifying, however. to witness
tie cheerfu!ncss with which they
adapt themselves to the new order of
things, and the spirit aud energy every
where manifested to raise old Charles
ton once more from her ruins. The
old warehouses injured by shells and
the weather are beng rapidly repaired,
and new buildings are in course of
erection in place Of those destroyed by
fire. Among the latter were several
large well known wholesale warehouses
ON Meeting street, opposite Hayne,
owned by " Adgers. A large force
of workmen is now engaged iu clear>
ing away the old rubbish and prepar-
ing the ground for the erection of new
ed'ilces. Some two or three Of the
buildings will need repairing only,
and it is hoped will be ready for the
Fall trade.
On East Bay nearly every store and
warehouse is already occupied, most
Of them by their former proprietors.
Among them we observe J. & f.
Dawson, Thaddeus Street, J. N. Rob
son, A. Bischoff & Co., B. O'Neill, ].
F. O'Neill, aud others. The large
stores of S. S. Farrar & Co., we learn,
will soon be under repair. The stor.
of james Walker g. Co. has been
taken by new firm for term of FIVE
years. II. F. Baker e. Co., we'll known
coal merchants, have resumed business
at their old stand, North east corner Of
Cumberland and Church streets. Our
old friend, Archibald McLeisl., is still
at,his we'll known foundry, in Cumber-
land street, ready to execute all orders
with promptness and despatch. Viii
bur has opened commission business
at the old stand, corner Of Church and
Chalmers streets. Mesirs. klnck &
Wickenberg and Paul d Brown. two
of our largest retail groceries, are re-
fitting their establishments, and expect
to OPEN shortly. The ol! soda-v .1er
stand OF D&usrn d H!aci-nsn is ac3,;n
in TOLL operation.

A word as to the Courier. We are
we'll aware that our friende are
anxious to SEQ us back at the Old
Office. 1t is our earnest desire and we
hope to be able to crafty them and
ourselves ere long in this respect.
We have already under consideration

former days, as we shall endeavor in
the future. to give our. patrons the
