CHARLESTON BAR..-It is our ploasuro to nm
nounce, that tho bark Annie FlmbaR, Of Bath,
Mnino, Captain LINCOLN, from Newport, England,
with cargo of about ono thousand tons railroad
iron, was brought over tho bar yesterday after
noon by tho stoamtug Chrisiiana Captain ScuI.y,
the pilot OF bark being Captain THos. JONES' and
OF the tug Captain SAML. CHAPMAN, both OF them
mastors OF ther business. Tho dnnic Fim5aR

and-a-hn!t moro than has ovcr crossed our bar
and establishing tho gratifying fact that tho Pump
kin Hill Channel, which is now tho passage to and
from this port used by largo rcssols hns moro
water capacity than any previous ontrunce Load
ing into this harbor. Tho pilots concerned in this
matter deserve particular credit for tho boldncss
and skill with Which they navigatcd Nh cxtraorti-
nary draft Of water safely into port.
NEW LocoMoTIyE.-The GLn. WILDs, made her
frat trip from Florence to this city OH Monday, in
charge Of MIR. II. A. ULMo, engineer, nnd loft with
tho passengers yesterday morning. While eho
bears tho namo OF an old engino Of this road, Bh,
has boon thoroughly rebiilt at the mnchino shops
OF tho Northeastern Railroad Mt Florence under
the direction OF Mr. D. ". HANEs mnstor machin-
1st, and is in overy respect frst-class onsins.
Handsomely fitted up aud elegantly painted, re.
ceiving tho finishing stroke from tho tasteful
brush Of MIR. RrpDEL, who bears fino reputation
for skill and tasto. This shop ia in o location
whore economy to company and worhmen can DO
pra :ticod to advantage. Healthy md convenient,
1t is but reasonable to expect to SEQ Florence
hourishing town at carly day, built up by cncr-
gy and industry. Tho company hnvo already
erected shops for chr and ongno building of ovory
STYLE giving employment to largo number Of
persons in that locality.
TIE CITADEL souAnE.-we arc pleased to see
that the military authorities are taking active
steps to improve the appearance of tho Citadel
Square by the erection Of strong picket fonce.
Before tho war the Grcen was enclosed by sub.
atantal FENCE with gates opening on the different
streets, and through which alone ingrcss or cgross
could bo obtained. The property Was under tho
charge Of tho 4th Brigade, and caro- wns takon to
preserve 1t, not only for pleasure ground, but as
place OF recreation for cadets who wero not aI-
lowed to pass beyond its limits without epccial
permission. At that time q shell walk extended
around the enclosure, shade trees were planted
and bsncnos woro placed ut intervals for tho con-
Tenlonce OF visitors. The war, and the occupation
of tho Green as a camping ground, soon changed
1ts neat appearance; tho side walks disappeared,
tho trees were destroyed by tho horses tho fenco
was raided upon for fire wood, and it became what
1T is at present, barron common, unreeyed by
any ornament
sinco the occupation Of this property by tho
Unit:d States forcos, they hayo endeayorcd
TO restore somewhat Of its pristine appearance,
and tho building Inns been thoroughly repaired,
painted and white-washcd. Although this has
been great improvement, tho absence OF o fence
has detracted greatly from the looks ofthc Green,
and has rendered it o common high road for trav-
ollors, who mako short cuts oyor it in order to
communicate with the different streets. Lalterly,
the Green has bocomo popular place of resort,
and crowds gather either to witnoss tho games of
Base Ball, or to listen to the music OF tho Post
Band, and watch the evolutions of the soldiers at
Dreas Parade. AS It is almost tho only Public
Square Of any sze, and being located in the heart
OF tho city, its patronage will gradually increase
and when the proposed improvements arc made
it will be again ornament to that section, and
will rank among tho first Of tho fow breathing
spots that arc accessible to tho citizens. Propo-
sails for erecting tho fence will be received at tho
Office OF the Department Qunrtormastcr, until tho
20th mat, and the attention OF contractors is d-
rected to the advertisement in another column.

NEW ENTEnPR1sg.-Since the war tho public
mind has been mainly intercsted in tho two great
subjects OF restoration and reconstruction. Tho
fret is q political question which wo do not de-
sire to expatiate but the second Ia in the hnns of
tho people themselves, and il is only by thoir own
eIertions that the desired end can be obtained.
The change in our circumstances has impressed
npon every ono the necessity Of developing our
heretofore hidden resources, and Of making cvcry
power subscrvceablo for that purpose. It lis true
that the South has always been considered an agr-
cultural Country, and tho people wero content to
raise their products, and depend upon strangers
TO furnish thom their supplies of manufactured
goods. But that day has passed. md tho far-see-
ing mon in tho South havo already commenced the
erection OF largo factories, which aro destined to
be not only source Of wealth TO tho people, but
will do moro to induce immigration than every
effort TINT may be mado by the Commissioners.
Thoro arc few persons who do rcmcmbor tho
scarcity Of cloth in the Confedoracy and tnu --+-
NJ OF Suitable UiottiihR,
-uly OWING to this cause as much as to any o.hor.
1t was lesson that should hnye impressed itsclf
upon every mind, and wo are ploascd to SEQ that a
movement is now boing mado by tho establishing
OF manufactures that will not only improve Tho
county, but will tend to rotain at home tho monoy
that was formerly spent in othor States.
We wero induced to mako thcso romarks from A
close examination OF tho MENpENHAII. L,om now
on exhibition ~ this city. We have seldom soon a
piece OF machinery that combined simplicity with 80
much power, and couid be worked with 40 little
force. Tho introduction Of this loom IN do.i,nel
