CHARLEfroN BAR-H is our pleasure TO an
nounce, that the bark Annie KinbaQ, Of Bath,
Maine, Captain LINCOLN, from Newport, England,
with Q cargo Of about one thousand tons railroad
iron, was brought over the bar yesterday after
noon by the stesntug Christ,and, Captain ScnY,
the pilot Of bark being Captain THos. JONES, and
OF the tug Captain SAML. CHAPMAN, both OF them
masters OF their business. Tho Annie KinsbdA
drew eighteen feet six inches, being about q foot
ana-a-half more than has ever crossed our bar,
and establishing the gratifying fact that the Pump
hin Hill Channel, which Is now the passage to and
from this port used by large vessels, has more
water capacity than any previous entrance leadl
ing into this harbor. The pilots concerned n this
matter deserve particular credit for the boldness
and skin with which they navigated an extraordl-
nary draft OF water safely into port.
New LoooMoTTvE.-The Gen. WuDs, made her
first trip from Florence to this city on Monday, in
charge OF Mr. II. A. ULMo, engineer, and left With
the, passengers yesterday morning. While she
bears the name Of snlold engine Of this road, shs
has been thoroughly rebuilt at the machine shops
Of oftheNmtheastern Railroad at Florence, under
the direction Of Mr.. D. W. HANEs, master machin-
list, and is in every respect Arst-class engine!
Handsomely fitted up and elegantly painted, re-
caiying the finishing, stroke from the tasteful
sbrush Of Mr.. RrpDEI, who bears fine reputation
for skiIl and taste. This shop is in location
where economy to company and workmen can be
pea.tieSd u advantage. Healthy and convenient,
1t is but reasonable to expect to see Florence
aourishng town at an early day, built up by ener-
~ and industry. The company have already
erected shops for car and engine building OF every
style, giving employment to q large number Of
PERSONS In that locality. ,.,gs 80 = 49,.
TIM CrTApM SouARx.4We are pleased TO see
TIA. the military authorities. are taking active
steps TO improve the appearance of the Citadel
Square by the erection OF strong picket fence
Before the war the Green was enclosed by . sub
stantiA fence, with gates opening on the different
stesets, and through which alone ngress or egress
could be obtained. The property Was Under the
change OF the 4th Brigade, and care was taken to
preserye it. not only for pleasure ground, but as
q nlsoe Of recreation for cadets who were not al-
1cwed topsss beyond it's limits without epecial
.peemiasion.s At thai time shell walk extended
Z around The enclosure, shade trees were planted,
and benches we're placed at Intervals FOR thecon-
venience ofvisisors.s The warss and the'occupaton
Of the Green O. q, camping ground, soon changed
its neat appearance; the side walks disappeared,
the trees gere destroyed by the horses, the fence
wasrsidsd upon for FIRE wood, and 1t became what
ME asmesent, . barren common, unrelieyed by
any ornament. .,.s.s. e-a aassss.iaJ sgss;
< Since the occupation Of this property by the
United States forces. they have endeayored
to rsssore somewhat of its pristine appearance,
And the building has been thoroughly repaired,
painted and white-washsd. Although this has
been great improvement. the absence Of fence
has detracted greatly from the looks of the Green,
and has1endared it j. common high road for trav-
elars,s Wko,rnake short cuts, over il in order to
communicate with the different streets. Latteriy,
the Green has become D popular place Of resort,
and crowds gather either to witness the games Of
Base Ball, or TO listen to the music Of the Post
Band, snd aateh the evolutons Of the soldiers at
Dress Parade As 1t is almost the only Public
Square Of any size, and being located in the heart
OF the city, its patronage viii gradually increase
and when the proposed improvements are made,
e win be again an o,nament to- thstsection, and
viii rank among the first Of the few breathing
spots fhst are ACCESSIBLE to the citizens. Propo-
sals for erecting the fence will be received ct the
ofRce of the Department ouartermaster, until the
10th inst, and the attention or contractors is di-
irsctsd 10 the advertisement in another column.

-sA NEW EsrERpR1sE- Since the war the public
mind has been mainly interested in the two great
esubiecss. Of res.orstion and reconstruction. The
first "a spoltical question on which we do not de-
hef s1patiate; butthe second ID in the hands Of
the people themselves, and it Is, only by their own
-sexeetions that the desired end can beobtained
The change in our circumstances has impressed
upon every one the necessity Of developing our
heretofore hidden resources, and Of making every
power snbserviceable for that purpose. 1t is true
TINT the South has always been considered an agr-
cultural country and the people were content to
raise their products, and depend upon strangers
to furniah them their supplies Of manufactured
goods. But that day has passed, and the far-see-
ing men in tho South have,alrsady commenced the
erection OF large factories, which arc destined to
be not only source Of wealth tothe people, but
win do more to induce immigration than every
effort that may be made by the Commissioners.
There are few persons who do not remember the
scarcity Of cloth in the Confederacy, and the su-
tarngs Of her brave soldiers in consequence Of the
want Of suitable clothing, and our defeat was prob
ably OWING to this cause as much as to any other.
Il was Q lesson that should have impressed itself
upon every mind, and We are pleased to see that a
movement is now being made by the establishing
Of manufactures thst viii not only improve the
country, but will tend to retain at home the money
that was formerly spent in other States.
We were induced to make these remarks from q
close examination Of the MENDENHALL LJom now
