DEATH OF Me. NJ. TRAcY.-We regret to an
nounce the death OF Mr.. MAURICE TRACY, late fore
man OF this paper. Mr.. T. was native OF New
York, and came to this city when quite young
man. He was for many years before tho war,
foreman of the Charleston Mercury. During the
war he superintended the large publishing es-
tablshment of Messrs. EVANS l. CoaswElL, IN Col
umbia, and was identified with the NEWS hom the
date of its establishment in August, 1865. MIR.
TRACY was good printer, thoroughly conVersant
with all the requirements Of his art and enjoyed
the respect and esteem Of ell with whom he came
in contact. -
His health had been gradually failing for some
time, and during the past four or i've months ne
had been confined to his bed with dropsy, which
terminated fatally, notwithstanding all that
scientific skill, or the watchful care and tender
hand Of affection could do. He was only forty
seven years Of age at the time of his death, and
leaves wife and one child to mourn his loss. MI.
TRACY was widely known among printers every
where, and his death will be sincerely regretted
not only within tho circle Of the topographic
fraternity, but by all the numerous friends ne
made along the journey of life. His funeral Will
take place at 10 o'clock this morning, as Will be
seen in the advertisement in another column.
CHARLESTON BAR-A further examination OF the
draft Of water Of the bark Annie Ksn'bau, Captain
LINCOLN, from Newport, England, shows that she
is deeper by several inches than previously stated,
and that her actual depth In the water is IL feet
inches, or near 10 feet. Captain LINCOLN states
that the KambaH came over the bar with ease, and
would have been able to have entered the channel
if she had drawn several additional inches. This
announcement is Of the greatest Importance to
shipping masters, both here and elsewhere, for it
has been generally considered that it was imposs-
BILE for any but vessels Of light draft to enter the
harbor. There are few sesports thatpresent more
advantages than Charleston, as the bay ID COM
pletely land-locked, and once over the bar, any
depth Of water can be obtained. The passage OF
the KimbGa is an epoch in our commercial history
that we trust will not be neglected, but will urge
our merchants to improve the advantages OF ma
ture and by deepening the channel render the har-
Dor accessible to vessels Of any draft. Before the
war dredging machine was owned In TINS city,
made and patented by Charleston mechanic, and
it was found to be extremely serviceable in deep
ening the channel and IN removing the obstrue-
tions on the bar formed by the shifting sands.
This machine was destroyed during the war, but
it could be easily reproduced, and would prove
valuable auxiliary to our merchants in bringing
the commerce Of the world to this port.
Mayors CouRr.-Three colored Leanders, who
were essaying their swimming powers in the
Market Dock, found to their sorrow, that the feat
was impossible, for they we're pounced upon by
the police and in default Of 81 fine, was locked up
for two days. When they are released they will
be sadder but wiser boys, and will remember that
as the Black Crook is not on exhibition, the pub
lio have no peachan for bire legs.
A colored man who evidently thought himself
better than some plain people, stationed himself
near the Band on the Battery and obstructed the
passage way. BE was warned and advised to
leave, but persisted in his conduct, standing on
the Platform Of the Civil Rights Bill and defying

managed, in spite Of Order No. 50, to moisten his
diaphragm with the essence ofrye which, to man
of his abstemious character, proved great shock
to his system, and he had laid down 10 recover
when acoosted by the police. Becoming angry at
being reused from his slumbers in 80 peremptory
manner, he rushed at his tormentors and dealt
them several blows in the vicinity Of their bread
baskets. Not liking this maneuvre, they turned
the tables and carried the beligerent to more Be-
cludsd spot, where he compromised the matter by
the payment OF $40.
The classic shades of Berresford street were dis
turbed by the vicious conduct Of two men who
chose that locality to exhibit the manly art. The
sound Of the blows brought in the police, who
kindly consented to hold the sponge and act as
umpires, and the noble pair were condemned to
forfeit IS each for a foul play.
