The following example, taken from actual
observation, serves TO show how estimates Of
iaboring force should be made, under differ
ent circumstances:
On watching the paviors Of Dublin, at
work, | found that they made 70 blows Of
the rAmmer in min. As sec.. aud then rest
ed for 5 min. 80 sec. Their rammers weigh
8 ct. lbs. and are lifted at each stroke to
the height of 10 inches. also learned, on
enquiry, that ten hours was the ordinary
period of daily labor. Let US calculate,
from the foregoing data, the work done BY
these men in ten hours.
The time of labor is to the time Of rest as
2 min. As sec. is to min. SO Sec, or as 165
to 210. Hence the time OF labor is to the
whole time Of labor and rest as 165 to 375.

Charleston and Fort Numter.


A correspondent Of the Springfield Re
publican writes ae follows Of the appearance
Of Charleston to-day:
Ruin and desolation must have held high
carnival in this pisce; whole squares, parts
Of squares, anu single buildings were burned
in all parts of the city, and there has not
been single good building put up here since
the clcse Of the war few small shanties
in all. The buildings injured BY shells have
been most Of them repaired. The Mills
House, where we are stopping, WI struck
thirty eight times. Saturday we v a the
runs Of Fort Sumter, and q NOR perfect
mass Of debris can hardly be imagined
Every front, except . small portion Of the
northwest is entirely demolished, and that
shows signs Of severe pounding.
There IS no work going on at the fort, and
only four or i've guns remain in il. A light
house has been erected on the northeast cor
ner Of the river, and the garrison consists Of
one negro and the lighthouse keeper. The
iron that was hurled against it has been
nearly al picked up, but there are still frag-
ments Of shell scattered on the rocks that
surround the fort.
The gardens Of Charleston present beau
tifui scene to Northern eyes; the bright
glossy leaves Of the numerous evergreen
trees, and the opening buds Of the deciduous
ones, cannot but be pleasant TO one 90 re-

fusely around in the gardens Of the ciGy,
The a adel and United States arsenal, unlike
many other buildings in the city, are pretty
clean and in good repair. Al the latter
place we saw the two and three hundred
pound Parrot guns that were used to shel
