Hol FOR THE LAND OF FLowERs.-It will be seen
by notice in another column, that the hne
steamer City Point, Captain s. ADKINS, will re-
sume her trips from this city to Florida, touching
at Savannah and ali the points on the St. Johns
River.
Flc.ida has always been closely connected with
Charleston, and the trade between the two points
was Of considerable Importance previous 10 the
war. The cotton factors did large business with
that State, and the steamers were always crowded
with passengers and freight. This trade has been
revived to considerable extent, and the presence
of two steamers on the route is sufficient indica-
ton that it has not decreased. Messrs. RAvENEL
g. Co., the agents for the City Point, advertise
that she will leave on the first of November, and
every subsequent Friday night, at o'clock. She
frr,f1 hal d.
Savannah, for Macon, Mobile and New Orleans.
Tie City Point has been recently reftted, and has
excellent accommodations for passengers and
freights.
NAVAL SToREs.-The trade in rosin, spirits Of
turpenine, &C., the product Of the pine tree, is
branch OF commerce that should, with but little
announcement largely develope itself in the bus-
ness of this city. The pine region tributary to
Charleston is extensive and valuable much OF it
never having been touched; the labor necessary to
produce the marketable commodity is free from
liability to disease, white men being able to per-
form the work with impunity, and the demand for
the various articles very extensive in the markets
OF the world. With proper facilities the business
might be made one Of great value to the city. Ihe
centre of the trade here is the region near the
East end Of Calhoun street, and vessels are con-
stantly at Marshall's aid Vennings wharves taking
in cargoes for various parts OF the world. Mr' H.
T. WALKER, Of our city, lately treighted the bark
Elsin for London, and Messrs. R. MURE Co. are
loading the British bark Artistic, and the British
brig Queen of Britain, for the Bristol Caanne and
have inst cleared the British brig Bellona for the
same destination. The cosstwise trade Is growing
in volume, and will increase with the enlargement
Pf the crop.

remedy the evil by appropriating shoe leather be-

there is in our city class of men who devote their
time to such cases. aud the immortal quartette were

TIE LATE RAN.-Chat time-honored individual,
the :'oldes inhabitant," was unable to recollect
hercer or more continuous rain than the one thst
deluged our city on Sunday night. The fall Of
water was unusually heavy, and is estimated by
the rain guage of the City Registrar to have been
four inches 30-100. This amount Of water, added
to the spring tide, which was then at its height,
caused many Of the streets bordering onthe rivers
To be submerged, and rendered q passage Of the
stream almost impossible In the Eastern portion
OF the city, the low places North Of Laurens street
were soon under water, Vernon, Inspection, and
the terminus Of Calhoun streets being completely
covered. At the latter point scarcely any dry
land was visible from Washington street to the
river and the depth Of the flood varied from few
inches to nearly three feet. In other sections of
the city, and wherever the tide had any influence,
the water covered both the street and the side
walk, end in many instances it was necessary to
clear the choked CRATES before it could be carried
of by the drains. At the lower portion of Market
street, near East Bay, the drains filled,
and the water rose to some height. During the
early part OF tine morning number of negroes
collected around the crossings, and for some time
the colored Charons did brisk trade by carrying
over passengers on their shoulders at ten cents
per head.

Browllow for the Southern Cenfed-

Several months since, says the Knox
vile Commercial, certain information
was impaired to u.s. which, up to the
present time, we have never made use
of. 1t now seems to be fitting time to
say something on this subject. The
U'hig Of Wednesday comes out with
some specific charges against Colonel
John Baxter. Brownlow says of that
gentleman: "He was once a candidate
for the Rebel Congress in this District,
and wa, shamefully defeated by broth
er rebelw Now, if our information is
correct, (and we challenge Brownlow to
deny it( Colonel John Baxter was n
candidate for the Rebel Congress, and
we charge further that Colonel Baxter
was a candidate at the earnest solicita-
tion. and by the advice of Vim. G. Brown.

issues Of September, 1861, did take

TIC Impeachment Humbug.
The New York Times says:

This whole impeachment movement
is an outrage and scandal. 1t has been
set on 'oot in utter contempt of every
principle of justice, and is prosecuted
without the slightest regard to person
al rights or common decency. Usually
an impeachment or indictment of any
sort proceeds upon definite allegations
of crime; but here it is set on foot to
see if possibly some charge of crime
may not be made. Usually no testi-
mony Is admitted but that which is
pertinent to the case, and from actual
witnesses of the act alleged to have
been committed; but here is the widest
and most absurd hearsay is taken as
evidence, and no regard whatever is
paid to the legal maxims which hold
all men innocent until they are proved
guilty. The whole affair is an nnscru-
pulons, malevolent crusade against the
President, having its origin in political
and personal disappointment, and for
its object the accomplishment OF party
purposes, nttainable in no other way.

In January, 1854, Immediately after

srsto the account we publish this morn
ing of recent interview with ALEX.
II. STEPHENS, from the pen of "Mack." ."
ih. versatile correspondent OF the Gin
ciunari Commercial. The account is
rather lengthy, hut, like everything by
the same writer will be- found interest
iNg throughout,
Mr. STEPHENS is more properly a rep
resentative man of the South than is
JErI. DAVIS or any other Southern
aan. His views and feelings meet with
= more general response, and more con-
idehce is placed in both stability and
his disposition 10 do right than in any
3thrr person who occupied an equally
prominent position upon the Southern
side during the recent war. Under
'heSe circumstances, his present
rhmrghts and opinions afford better
,ndication of the feelings of the great
mass of Southern men than can be OBJ
'sinea in any other way.
In this published conversation there
J. one paragraph relating to the past
"a which we would particularly invite
.he attention nj our radical friends. Mr..
sGEPHENs says that ifthe Democrats had
elected President in 1861, the recon-
,7.ctiOnists or Union men, OF the South
would have 0verborne the secession
party, and peac" upon the basis Of re-
stored Union would have been conclu-
ded AZ once. Mr.. STEPHENS AYERS that

i would nerve ihe South 10 still more
desperate resistance. Ii appears there

A Horrible Crime.
New York Correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Gazette

New York Correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette.
Michael Quirk and Nicholas Owens
were arrested in Williamsburg last
week for committing an outrage on an
idiot girl named Effie Griffin. By the
testimony it seems that the injured girl
and her mother, who is also of unsound
mind, lived together without any male
protector, and crowd of young ruff
ans in their neighborhood took advan-
tage of their condition to satiate their
beastly desires. To do this, and to
avoid the penalty of rape, tae Williams
concocted the idea of mock marriage,
and persuaded one of their number to
officiate as an Episcopal minister. This
fellow was introduced as the Rev. Mr..
Flinkwing, and he read the marriage
ritual of the Episcopal church, and pro-
nounced Michael Qnirk and Effie Griffin
man and wife. The poor girl was forced
to answer to the usual responses, and
after the mock ceremony she was forced
by Qurk to submit to his lusts, while
his villainous companions witnessed the
infamous outrage with jeers and laugh
ter. The mother Of the unfortunate
girl was also compelled to witness her
dishonor, but feared to give notice of
the occurrence to the police under the
threats Of the ruffians.
