The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1867-11-20

FAsT.-During the issue of our last edition from
the press an accident occurred to our engine,
less. This morning cur motive power IS a en-
tirely new engine, which il the short space OF
etghl hours has been transported, piece by piece,
to our establishment, put together by skilful
hands, and is now psrt and parcel Of the varied
machinery of the Office.
To have accomplished this grand cup de uaia
which has obviated the necessity of single hours
deay in the regular issue OF the News, would have
been impossible without the generous cooperation
of some Of the best artisans IN Charleston, and
we accordingly tender our thanks to Messrs. Ca
meron 4 Barley and to the builders. Messrs.
John f. Taylor & Co., of the Phanix Iron Works,
Of Charleston as the federal head" of corps OF
the most energetic workers, and to Mr.. II. Brady,
who transported the engine promptly to Dur Office,
for the skill, rapidity and perfection with which
is rsat worthy Of record, and Notwithstanding
the large outlay necessitated by the accident, we
are almost glad that the opportunity has been af-
fordsd US of demonstrating what we an mean
to do in the service of our friends-the People.
DIED.-A negro living on Morris street died on
Monday night under suspicious circumstances.
The case will be investigated at once by the proper
authorities.
COOPERATIVE SroREs.-In another column will
be found an Introductory letter upon the subject
ofCo-operatve Stores, to which we call special at
tenton. The subject is one in which the DAILY
News has taken peculiar interest, and we will give
place with pleasure to any further communications
in reference to matter which is considered to
be Of SO great consequence to our community.
TEE CrrY.-The quiet that reigned throughout
the city yesterday, and the peace and good order
that was preserved were proofs that, in point Of
morality, no reconstruction is needed. Notwith-
standing the novelty of the election, and the large
number Of unsducated persons who were depos-
itng their first votes, there attempt at any
disturbance, and no arrests were made. The clos
ing Of the bar rooms may have produced this
happy result, as there was no opportunity to fall
from grace; but the past history CT this city
shows that her people live sober, moral and roli-
gious lives, and small occurrence like the pres
ent election is not sufficient to lead them astray.
YAcHT DRIVEN TO SEA AND NEARLY LOST
The yacht Flora, FIVE tons, owned By Mir. G. c.
Kirby, Of Beaufort, sailed for Savannah on Monday
night last, With cargo Of rice ind ground-nuts,
having aboard the owner, Eugene Enday, and two
colored men. gale soon sprang up, and sales
and rigging were carried away. Every man
aboard worked with WILL but before morning ali
gave up in despair. About midnight on Monday
the Fora was driven towards, and in sight OF, the
light ship of Martins Industry. This Was soon
left astern; and all appeared lost, when Boston
schooner hove in sight and the crew OF the Flora
vas providentially saved.
The Coon OLD TuEs.--A visitor to the Hotels
last night, was forcibly reminded o: the good old
times when greenbacks we're unknown and busi-
ness hourished. The streets for the past two
days have presented quite lively appearance,
fom the number Of strange faces that were seen
in every direction. This influx has been caused
principally by the meeting Of the Grand Lodge IN
this CITY, but the inducements now offered by the
Theatre and Circus have caused many persons
from the interior to visit the city by the score
The large lobby Of the Charleston Hotel crowd
ed last night with guests, and the buzz OF convex
sation and the hustle of new arrivals, were cheer
ing sounds, that foIcbly recalled the past. AS
the season advances, the travel to the city will be
considerably increased, and will ena6le the Hotels
to show lists OF arrivals that will compare favora-
bly, with those OF paimicr days.
