AN APPALLING CALAMITY. Philadelphia
Age has the following:

AN APPALLING CALAMITY. The Philadelphia
Age has the following:
Ii is our painful duty to record the sudden
death Of Captain James R. Kelly, one of the
most experienced and bast pilots on the Dela-
ware. Ga Friday afternoon hs took charge of
the English brig Sunny South, loaded with
benziue, and started down the river. The
clouds were lowering, and heavily charged
with electricity. There was every indication
OF terrific storm soon to burst with fury on
the river, and it was deemed prudent to bring
the vessel to anchor off Chester. While the
storm was raging, the brig suddenly exploded,
and burst out into bright fame. There were
twenty-five hundred and seventy-seven barrels
of bcnziue in the vessel. MIR. Kelly was ON
deck, and the officers and crew were below.
There was lighted lamp IN the CABIN, and it
is supposed that some of the gas escaped from
the benzine, and, coming in contact with the
light. caused the EXPLOSION. 1t was currently
reported yesterday that the brig was struck
with lightning, but this could not be the
case. as the explosion did not occur until
half-past ten o'clock, more than an hour after
the storm had ceased. We kcow OF several
instances OF explosions OF benzlne IN the holds
of vessels, which we're truthfully attributed to
lighted lamps in cabins. The Captain of the
brig will probably lose al arm. One OF the
mates was shuckngly injured aboll the groin
The remainder Of the officers and crew were
not seriously injurel. Captain Kslly was in
stantly killed. One arm and both ankles were
broken. His body was discovered floating on
the surface Of the stream, not far from the
doomed brig. that now presented mass OF
fame, that spread for some distance upon the
water. The remains OF the deceased were
brought to Philadelphia yesterday, and taken
to his late residence in the southern part Of
the city.

TIE REPUBLICANS RALLYINd.-Accordlng to
8 call, issued by 7. NJ. Holmes, chairman OF
the Republican organization in Charleston
County, meetings wers held in Wards Nos. l
and last night. In Ward No. 1, the old dele
gates elected some time since to represent the
ward in County Convention, were reelected.
In Ward q, strenuous efforts were made by the
friends of Bowen and Mackey to prevent the
representation OF the ward in the County Con-
vention. Sheriff Mackey. who heartily en-
dorsed the nor. n.ination Of Bowen, offered re-
solution to the effect that the ward do not go
into an election for delegates to the County
Convention. As this resolution had the effect
ofle.ving the delegation previously elected by
the ward in full power, it met with the appro-
baton Of the majority present. The County
Convention meets this evening at the Military
Hall, for the purpose Of electing eighteen dele
gates to represent Charleston County in the
Congressional Convention, to be held on
Thursday evening at the same place.

TIE Rev. De. CoRooRAN.-The following ex-
tract from an article in thu August number OF
the Catholic World, a monthly magazine OF
general literature and sciences, entitled ''The
Second Plsnary Council Of Baltimore" is o
high tribute to distinguished divine OF
Charleston. After speaking Of Archbishop
Spalding, the writer says:
And we are sure his colleagues will not blame
us il we say that, under and after the Arch
bishop, Very Rev. James A. Corcoran, D. D.,
of the diocese Of Charleston, deserves to be
especially remembered for his industry, his
eruditlon, his talents. The graceful style IN
which 80 many OF the decrees are couched ls 80
peculiarly his own that it can never be mis-
taken; and it will make the Second PlenaTry
Council remarkable for what, perhaps, would
scarcely be expected in this remote country

A CHANCE FOB BUILDERS MORE ENGINE
HOUSES WANTaD.-At the meeting Of Council
held last night, communication was read
from the Board Of Firemasters, praying
Council to appropriate money for the erection
Of two additional engine houses, for the
steamers Pioneer and Young America. These
companies have been without any adequate
shelter, the first since the fire of 1861 and the
latter since their organization. Several efforts
have been made to secure new houses, aud it
is to be hoped that the treasury will soon be
sufficiently pletboric TO allow Council to grant
the application.

A PETITION FROM THE SHIPPING MERcH ANTS.
A petition from a number of the prominent
shipping merchants Of Charleston was pre-
sented to Council at the meeting last nignt,
praying that body 10 remit the tax recently
imposed Of ''s1 on every s1OO of all freight and
passenger lists of all steamers or sailing YES
sells paid, or payable in this city, the same
payable monthly" This memorial stated that,
by this onerous tax, the shipping interests
would be impaired, and the growth and pros
perity of the city would be seriously retarded.
The new tax bill was framed from one in force
in Savannah, in which, it is stated, o similar
tax is levied. The memorial has been refer
red to the Committee Of Ways and Means, who
will report at an early day, AMI the petition
will appear in the official proceedings publish
ed on Saturday.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIMORE STEAMSHIP

daybreak yesterday with the largest assorted
cargo ever sent here from our sister city, en-
bracing list Of consignees not only in all de-
partments Of business il Charleston, but also
for the principal depots in this State and Geor-
gia, showing clearly that a gain OF twenty-four
hours time from Baltimore to Atlantis and
more Western points oia Charleston, as COM
pared with Savannah, is boromlng known and
felt. Such an advantage; must increase the
business OF these swift and wonderfully regu-
Lar steamers.

The COTTON CROP OF THE UNITED STATEs.-
We ask attention to an article which is pub
lished in The NEWS Of this morning, from the
New York World Of Saturday, on :he estimates
of the cotton crop OF the United States lately
published by the New York Shipping and Com
mercial List and the New York Financial
Chronicle. 1t indicates very strongly the want
of reliability in the smount OF the growth US
published in these Journals, and we hope that
the discussion will be kept up until better
system is arrived at in obtaining the sum total
OF the yield of the United States. To the
Southern people, who are at presen. raising
cotton under 80 many difficulties, and who arc
largely dependant on remunerating price
for their resuscitation, it is of the highest i'm
portance that over estimates of the growth of
the article should not go forth to the world to
prevent them receiving the just reward Of their
labors

A New DEvrIoPzEar-AN1MAL MAGNETISM.
The operators OF the. Telegraph Company in
this city have recently effected several changes
in the arrangement Of their material. Within
the last few days another and more powerful
battery las been added, which is worked on
different principle hom' electricity. After some
prachcs on this instrument the operator is en-
.abed to perform variety OF wonderful evolu-
lions, and experts can almost fly through the
air. The apparatus is extremely simple in it's
construction, but waen properly manipulated
the most wonderful results are attained. AS it
is the private property Of the operators it is
not kept 10 the main Office, and is only used
when the wires are not working. Nevertheless,
the operators will take pleasure in exhibiting
the "battery Of animal magnetism" to the Gu
rious 10 such matters.

same regulations as now exist In relation to
other stocks of the city.
The communication OF the City Engineer
was, on mo,ion of Alderman Lndstrom, in
definitely postponed.
Alderman Weston offered the following reso-
luton:
Resolued, That an election for city officers be
held at the next regular meeting, and the Clerk
issue the orders for the same.
In Offering this extraordinary resolution,
Weston said that he believed that majority of
the city officers were opposed to certain men,
bers of Council, and in case of e disturbance
would rather aid than suppress it. The resolu-
ton failed for the want Of second, and Wes-
ton asked if the Mayor had the power TO order
an election. Tho Mayor replied that the recu-
liar position Of Council prevented any reply
until legal advice had been obtained. Weston
then said that when this advice WAS furnished
he would again press tue motion.
Tho following ordinances were ratified {:
An ordinance to relieve certain persons from
other purposes. :.
An ordinance to alter aud amend an ordi-
nance to establish aud regulate the Otfite OF
