The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1867-10-29


high wind Of Sunday night caused some little dam
age to property in the city. On East Bay and
along the exposed streets the cellars were soon
filed with water, which will cause the owners some
time and trouble to remove. DAN CAsTELLo's large
sign-board in Meeting street has decided lnclna-
| ton toward tho pavement, and has been shorn OF
some of its gories bv the rough usage it has expe-
rienced The streets have received thorough
washing. and the dust has been efectually laid FOR
few days. but tho excavated lots and open cellars
| in the burnt district have been transformed into
small ponds which are neither useful or orna-
mental. On the Bay, t storm was felt in its full
nower The Dictator which arrived on Sunday
night reported rough weather outside, and tho
Pilot Boy, which should have left yesterday morn
ing. was compelled to put back on account OF tho
storm.
THROUGH FREIaHT TARIFF ON RICE AND COTTON
no CINCINNATI, LOUISVILLE AND ST. LouIs.-We
are pleased to be able to announce that Messrs.
CoURrENAY & TRENHOLM outward freight agents
of the Baltimore and Charleston Steamship Com
| pany will give through bills of lading for rice
and cotton to the above distant cities, at the fol-
lowing very low rates:
Rice. Cotton.
Charleston to Cincinnati o.. per 100 lbs .65c s. so
Charleston to Louisville Ky, per 100 lbs .7Sc ~
Charleston to ST. Louis. No. per 100 lbs. ..S5c III
This is certainly the most enterprisng and in
vting tariff ever offered and will be greatly appre-
ciated by rice shippers especially, who will find
ready sale for our Carolina grain in those opulous
citos, and by distributing portion of ths crop in
that direction, will relieve the New Yorl. market,
&c.
1t may appear strange to have "C)tton Rate
from Charleston to the Northwest T q Baltimore,
but statistics show that cotton manufactures have
been largely developed in the last few years in the
Northwest and upon the basis of one and-a-haf
cents per pound to Cincinnati as a central distri-
buting point, We would not b. surprised if orders
would seek this market. These are good free trade
rates, however, and We hope steamships, railroads
and shippers will all profit by it.
A PROBABLE VISIT FROM THE BLACK CRooK.-The
fame Of the Black Crook has gone abroad over the
land and there are few persons who have not heard
Of the magical scenery and the beautiful danseus-
es 1t has been one of the best paying enterprises
Of the day, and while it has filed the pockets Of
the proprietors it has at the same time benefited
every city where it has been exhibited. New York
can boast OF possessing the original Crook, but
the plays exhibited in other cities are not without
their attractive features and though their Crook
eduess is not so apparent, they are not without
their attractive features, and have been patronzed
by crowded houses. The citizens OF Savannah
have for some time been enjoying the Black Crook
sensation, but we happy to learn that the Pal
metto City has not been forgotten. The manager
of the play has made overtures to the Hibernian
Society for the use of their hall, and if successful
will display the wonders OF the Black Crook to a
Charleston audience The addition to the Hiber-
rian Hall has been nearly completed, and the So
ciety expect that in two weeks time all OF the in
tended repairs will be finished, and the Hall open
ed to the public. A number of theatrical managers
have already made applications for the use Of the
Hall, and should the Black Crook fail, there will
be some hisrioni, representation in our new thea
tire that will revive the recollections Of the past.
