CH1soIMs MuIs.-There isn surer index Of the
prosperity Of city than the condition Of its COM
'mercial and manufacturing facilities. Though not
usually considered manufacturing town, Charles
ton has in ita corporate limits machine shops,
mills, and other similar enterprises, that would
compare favorably with those Of Northern cities
This ia particularly noticeable in the western por-
tion OF the city, where the huge mills that border
the Ashley River are conspicuous for their size
and fer the facilities they offer for the transaction
Of business. These mills are, each Of them,
well conducted and admirably arranged in every
desail; but We propose at present to refer but to
one, intending, on some future occasion, to men
ton them al IN detail.
CMsoLM's Mills, which are situated on the e1-
treme Southwestern portion Of the city, occupy an
island Of few acres in extent, which is connected
with the city by the Tradd street causewsy. These
Mills have been recently renovated and restored to
their former condition, and now offer inducements
for patronage that are rarely equalled. The Mills
were originally Of wood, but were burnt and re-
built Of brick in 1859, and were used until the
breaking out Of the war solely as rice mills. Phe
proprietors, Mesrs. CMsoLM BRoTHEAs, have in
the last few months perfected many improvements
in the arrangement Of the building, and have COM
bined other enterprises with their old business,
and they now have on the same enclosure rice
mil equal in power and capacity to any in the city,
cotton gin, and saw mill, besides the usual
oooper, carpenter and fnaohins shops that ars
always connected with such establishments. We
shah in our notice mention these separately, COM

a5IsaT THE RICE MIL. -.
The entire building, which is Of brick, and five
stories in height, was formerly used for this pur-
pose, but the western wing is now reserved for
storerooms and for the numerous cotton gins.
The ground floor is occupied by the pound
eB which separate the husk from the grain, but
It IL singular circumstance that although the
rice Ii receised at the wharf, q few rods from the

stories, placed in huge wire sleeves and cleansed
from dirt and trash, then by different elevators
