ALMOST FRE.-some little excitement was
created on Marshs Wharf yesterday morning by
the accidental ignition Of pot of boiling tar,
which was being used by some workmen. The
flames burnt fercely and caused donse smoke,
but were soon extinguished by few spadefuls of
earth which we're thrown upon them. Fortunate
ly no alarm was given, and though the cotton on
Union Wharves was in dangerous proximity there
was no damage done beyond burning the chips
and trash Immediately around the pot
INTERNAL REvENUE.-We have received letter
from subscriber in Georgetown, in which the
writer comments on the absence Of all facilities
usually afforded by the Internal Revenue Office He
says that although they have an Internal Revenue
Office in Georgetown, they have seldom any stamps
for sale, which puts the business men to great
deal Of trouble and often causes considerable loss
The collection district has only deputy and no
seal; and merchants who export naval stores and
lumber from that port are compelled to suffer
some inconvenience from the delay. II this state
ment is correct, it would argue considerable
neglect on the part Of the Office, and We commend
the subject to the proper authority, knowing that
the evils spoken Of in the complaint will soon be
remedied.
TIE CHARLESTON COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER
Mesrs. DENNY, CooKE & PERRY, Of the Record
Printing Office, have issued semi-monthly jour-
nal with the above title, and the first number has
Just been received. As the name indicates, it is
intended to be business directory Of the COM
mercial houses Of Charleston, and Will be distri-
buted gratuitoualy to all merchants in South and
North CaroipS Georgia, Florida, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Alabama. II is the wish Of the pro-
prietors to endeavor by these means to place
the business capacities of Charleston before the
public at large and, by SO doing, to stimulate
trade and infuse vitality into the commercial
circles Of the city. As new enterprise
it commends itself to the community,
ss the medium by which they can communicate
with the country and show that the Charleston OF
the present is only behind the past on account Of
her impoverished condition. This will surely i'm
prove, and her trade once regained, her rise will
be rapid and certain. Messrs. DENNY, Cook &
PrRRY are . well known firm Of this city, Mr..
PKRRY, the junior partner, having been connected
ber Of years, is thoroughly acquainted with the
leading country merchants, and can thus render
the Advertiser what it claims to be-a paper devo
ted to the interests Of the merchants Of Charleston
Partisan Lie with Col John 8. Mosby by Major John
SCOT :na Va hts + 10 A. an a9ssSs ss, of n Tine
Army with Portraits and Rngrayings on wood. New
York Harper Brothers, 1867.
This book is dedicated to ffty-two ladies, whose
names are given. But large as this number is,
they are called to share this honor with s'other
noble ladies' OF Baltimore"
Major soorT enjoys superior advantages for the
proper execution Of the task he has just completed
It seems he drafted the BIPARTISAN Ranger Law,
which passed the Confederate Congress; the i'm
portance OF which circumstance will be gathered
from the following statement Of the author: "Col.
MoaDY has often told me upon that basis rested
and that it was but Just that should write the
history Of the command which, indicated the cor
rectness Of the principles Of the Partisan Ranger
law. The principle Of that law is but the applca-
ton Of the prize principle of nautical warfare to
land war, yet it was one, believe, which had not
been made before"
He then continues to say 81 vas born in the
district Of country which constituted his [MosBYsl
field of exploits, and have in consequence, q
familiar and widespread acquaintance with its in
habitants enjoyed peculiar advantages in collect
ing from them incidents and anecdotes with which
to enrich and enfven my pages"
This much We gather from the Preface. The
book itself We have not read, but judging from the
heads Of chapters, given in the Table Of Contents
it is our opinion that the author would hsve pur
sued wiser and more patriotic course, in every
sense Of the word, If he had deferred the pubica-
ton Of this sensation volume until after recon-
struction had been completed. The only certain
result we expect Of the publication OF volumes
like the present (other than the amount Of pecu-
mary profit to author and publishers) is the re-
kindling Of feelings Of enmity, that had almost
died away, the re-opening Of wounds that had be-
come nearly cicatuized.
