The TENNESSEE. The Wilmington Journal,
of yesterday. says: 1.-THE steamship Empire,
which was sent from New York to the scene
of the disaster, is probably there now. A con-
tract has been entered into with Messrs R. W.
& w. L. Beery, by which they are to assist In
getting off the hull. Captain Chichester ar
rived in Wilmington from below, on Monday,
and will 60 down to-day on a tug with the
Messrs. Beery. An engine and wrecking ap-
paratus will be taken down, and the wreck
will be at once pumped out, when an effort
will be made, by means Of the Empire and the
tug, to pull her off. When this is accomplish
ed she will be towed into Wilmington. and, Ii
worth 1t, will be repaired. If not, the machi-
merry will, at all events, be worth saving. But
as the hull Is of iron, and very nearly new,
hopes are entertained that she will be strong
eaough to build up again"

CITY HALL, MAYORS OFFICE,

CITY HALL, MAYORS OFFICE,
CHARLESTON, July 2, 1870.
Messrs. Bre,oster, Spratt d Burke and Asher
d. Cohen, Solicitors TOR Committee:
GENTLEmEN-Your communication of June
30th, 1870, to the Mayor and Aldermen of the
city, has been duly received by me.
There has been no meeting OF the Council
not yet been referred to them for considera-
ton. It has, however, been submitted to the
Committee of Ways and Means, who, after due
consideration, decided to instruct the City
Treasurer to commence paying interest, las
provided for,) on Tuesday, July, 5th'
qnless restrained By Judicial asna,.s1'iH sHthority
interpreting to you, as faithfully as can,
the considerations which control the commit
tee. (and will undoubtedly control the City
Council also,) and the course they seem dis
posed to pursue.
You say, substantially, among other things,
that if the City Council do not refuse to pay
the interest on the city debt, part Of which
collected from taxes to pay the same, the
'scammittee, in Its Office. has no option, but to
oppose you, (us) and move the court for pro-
hibsttons against the payment OF the tax"
In reply. they say that the course Of the City
Council, in reference to the city debt, was
plainly indicated In the published proceedings
of their last meeting, viz: That the legality OF
the issues of stock complained of by you,
should be left to the determination of the
courts.
Still, so much has been said of the invaldity
of large portion of the debt, that they would
be glad to have the matter submitted to judi
cial determination; but they do not think 1t
judicious or wise for them to make the
question. To do 80, they would, In substance,
be compelled to declare, in advance, the debt
invalid, and then take the responsibility Of
maintaining that position In court.
If you wish to raise the question, you have
only to ask the courts to restrain the City
Council from paying the debt, or the interest
Oh 1t, as the same tails due.
Taxpayers may do this and not jeOpardize
the character or reputation of the city. In
fact, they may do 1t and hazard nothing but
the expense of the litigation. AS to the par
ticular manner in which you shall raise the
question, you must be your own judges. |
would only say that it seems to me the part OF
wisdom that you should do 1t in such manner
as to raise the exact question, viz: the validity
of debts created in aid of railroads outside Of
the city, aud no other, and in such manner as
to injure the taxpayers, whom you are pre-
sumed to represent, the least possible, IN the
event OF your not succeeding, and that you
press the suit to speedy conclusion.
If you should assail the City Council LOT their
present system of taxation, think you may
reasonably expect vigorous defence IN that
regard, as they express confidence in the I'M
pregnability Of their position.
Respectfully, your obedlent servant,
G. PnLSBuRY.

| sit in the glow of the cmbcrs,
OF the anthracite, shining and clcar,-
And list to the winds of November,
The drcaricst month in the year.
The dreariest, SO the world tells us,
Because the fair flowers have flown,
And the loves in the past golden summer
To poison and ashes have grown.
l laugh at these plants for November,
That prattlers and praters now preach
And find mid the rich glowing embers
joys, that yet my chilled fingers can
reach.
1t has brought me harvest of blisses,-
And cen though my fingers are cold
My lips have been warmed by his kisses,
The sweetest that ever We're told.
My cheeks have burned hot meath his
glances,
Though the wild winds are prankish and
chill;
have laughed at the tune it dances,
And gathered of glory my fill.
All! oar hands have clasped tight in Novem-
Our lips have pressed closely and long,
My sorrows wait still for December,
And gladness still burdens my song.
Bring incense for lovely November,-
Crush back the tauntings of pain
In the shade of fastcoming December,
| wait for my burden dgain.
Oh. gather of joy the full measure
Now,-now that its substance is here!
And never dream more of November
AS the dreariest month of the year.

drive a stage coach, filled with passengers
within and without through its trunk Il
distance of two hundred feet. And these
| trees would grow to an unknown height,
had not nature set bounds to their altitude.
Their tops are exceedingly tender, and the
snow falling upon those tender branches
causes them to break off, and the sap
returns downward. causing the greater
expansion Of the main trunk and the lower
branches.
AS convenience, and in honor. of their
fame, many of the noblcr of the Se7uotas
bear the names of distinguished individuals,
such as Washington and jackson, Sir John
and Lady Franklin, Webster and Clay,
Humboldt and Linley. Edward Everett
and Daniel O'Conneil, Richard Golden and
John Blight. On the edge of the forest is
a cluster Of three majestic trees, named
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. But of all
the rest, there was one whose reverend
name touched my heart, and recalled the
blessed memories of the past. High up on
one of the noblest of the grove was the
revcred name of Bishop Thomson. And
it was no less pleasure for me to learn
from the proprietors eff the hotel that they
cherish the memories of Bishops Thomson
and Kingsley, who had previously visited
the SeguOius of Calaveras. True to their
peculiarities, each left the impress of his
character upon those with whom he came
in contact. Thomson was referred to,
gentle as woman, wise as a philosopher,
sanity as an apostle; while Kingsley was
spoken Of us computing how many cords
of wood We're in such a tree, how much
lumber another would produce, how large
a house 4 third would make, and then
standing on the stump in the octagonal
building and preaching Christ in demon
stration of the Spirit and with power
How beautiful to have the names of our
bishops thus recalled by strangers in an
obscure section of our country.
The age of the Sequoias is one of their
most marvellous characteristics. The rings
are induces by which the age of each can
be determined; and those who have watched
their growth conclude that some of them
are not less than three thousand years old.
Take, for instance, the "Mother of the
Forest" now denuded of its bark. That
tree sprouted when "Solomon was in his
glory 1t was in its youth when "Rome
was mistress of the world" 1t stood in
its majesty when Christ was born in Beth
lehem. Thirty centuries looked down
upon me as l gazed upon its venerable
form! And there are young trees growing
that will flourish when all the inhabitants
now upon the earth shall have passed
away. Those who are not will gaze upon
them with admiration as among the most
wonderful works of God.-Ihe Methodist.
