DISTINGUISHED ARR1vAL.-We have the pleasure
ofsaying that the splendid steam engine Pioneer,
belonging to the Charleston Company Of Axemen,
arrived yesterday in the Quaker City, ac-
oompanied by Mr.. CLAP and Mr.. TnLER, Of the
firm Of CIApP Il JONES, the builders. We have
not, as yet, had the qualification OF seeing or
knowing this elegant specimen Of engine work,
but hope soon to make an acquaintance. We
wish all success to our Fire Department, and shall
not be surprised at early day. to see it use en-
trely steam machines.
LIE EDAITEhfs''-Our CltlZe06, we feel assured,
will be pleased to learn that the White Point Gar
den Bathing House has been thoroughly repaired,
and On the first OF May will be opened to visitors,
who can there enjoy the luxury Of o marine bath.
Refreshments viii be served, and good attendance
secured. So we learn from the posters in the
streets, and from advertisement in another col
umn Of THE News. Messrs. FRARY & K1LnoY
merit the thanks Of the community for the enter
prise they have manifested in getting this very
much dilnpidsted resort into first rate ORDER and
We hope they will be handsomely rewarded by the
' liberal patronage Of the community. !
A FRENCH PApER.-We learn that it is In contem-
plstion to establish weekly French paper in this
city ;, name not yet determined on. There are
many French residents In Charleston who will
welcome such an enterprise. There are, more
over, very many persons here who have enjoyed
the advantages Of 8 French education, who will
be'pleased to have an opportunity Of keeping up
their knowledge OF the language. The numerous
female schools all over the State; where French is
part Of the regular, curriculum, will doubtless
avail themselves Of this convenient vehicle for ac-
qusinting their pensionnatres with the mixed YER
nacular Of society," found nowhere else in such per-
fection as in Q good; newspaper. Major DuBos,
wef feel assured, would make competent editor,
tagement to warrant him in entering upon the
publication Of this journal at an early day. .

The CARo1INIAN, in Columbia, q. O., has come
to life again. The first number reached us few
days ago, and makes very presentable appear
ance. After suspension Of over year, owing to
circumstances beyond its CONTROL" this journal
once more sets It's sails to the breeze and We wish
it q safe and prosperous voyage. ..,!

CoURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Promptly at the %
pointed hour yesterday morning Judge, juries, at
torneys,. witnesses, &o., were In attendance, and
proceeded to the transaction Of the business before
them. Several cases Of offences committed some
time back have been brought to the consideration
ofthe Court been disposed of by trial or other
Wise, and we believe that but few OF this cliarac-
ter now remain for confederation. In some of
g these there have been long delays, arising from
+, causes, no doubt, growing out Of the unsettled
state OF affairs during the war, but they will all
probably be brought before long to final eette-
ldInent; and the trial moro recently com
rnitted, and Of moro immediate concern, will be
proceeded with. rt......s
