ARRIVAL OF THE NEW STEAMSHIP TENNESSEE
ANOTHER THREE THOUSAND BALE SH1P-DRAFT
ELEVEN FEET DEEP, LoADED.-Yesterday fore
noon the splendid new iron steamship Tennessee,
1850 tons, under the command OF Captain CHS
chester, reached her pier at Union wharves, from
New York, having sailed from that port on Thurs
day afternoon making fair passage for this sea-
son Of the year. The Tennessee reports being In
company on the voyage with the steamship
Eagle OF the Havana line, both vessels having
left New York together.
The central location Of the dock, being imme-
diately in rear OF the Charleston Hotel, and near
est to the obbing and retail centres OF business in
Charleston, made it q short walk to the Tennes-
see, and large numbers congregated after church
70 Inspect this great freight carrier.
In general appearance she favors her famous
consort, the South Carolina, which was in port
last week, and has the same dmensions-262 feet
long, IS feet beam, 20 feet depth OF hold; and the
same general arrangements catch the eye, OF
cabins on deck, and all the available space below
for cargo.
Noticing first the saloons and cabins OF the new
candidat. for passenger favors, We and aft very
costly and elegant cabin, available for hlty or
sixty frsr.cass passengers hallway separates
this from the forward cabin, which has, what will
be regarded by the lovers of the weed as great
comfort, special apartment for smoking
room, in which meerSchaums and Havanas are 10
be considered in order. Forward of this is hand
some parlOr, opening on to four or six berths,
where housekeeping en- ItnfUe can be indulged
in during the two days at sea by those who have
to go to the springs in numbers.
The hurricane deck is grand promenade, and
in pleasant weather will attract everybody who is
not afraid OF a sea voyage and can enjoy the sea
air from an elevated position. AS the song goes
There's nothing half so bright
AS summer night,
With summer moon 'abeaming."
And we are satisfied that the hurricane deck nj
the Tennessee" on coming summer voyage is
the place to fully realize the sentiment Of .le
song.
So much for the travelling public. But the
great feature of these two enormous vessel is
their great carriage capacity. We have long had
with their deep draft of water and their limited
freight room, must, at least, for coasting pur-
poses; give way to the new idea of more beam,
less depth and larger freightage. And when we
consider that only few years back some of our
own people had begun to look for deep water for
an auxiliary port for Charleston, we regard The
intelligent enterprise Of the gentlemen who have
inaugurated this company, as not only step
forward in the proper direction, but as worth a
great deal in money, and an elrectual demon
stration of the practicabty of our port being
rendered fully available to the wants of the West,
by the introduction into our steam lines, both
coastwise and foreign, OF the modernb-uilt ships.
In looking into the capaclous between-decks OF
the Tennessee, one is not only impressed with the
space for cargo, which we think safe to put ut
2SoO bales Of cotton but the innovations have gone
beyond the shape OF the vessel. In the handling
of cargo there is radical change. Side ports,
fore and aft, into which cart could effect an en-
entrance, are reached by broad gaRgway planks,
feet wide; and instead OF horses and the old
fashioned hosting up and lowering down, come
long files OF stalwart men, with casy-gliding
trucks, who can conveniently empty even so
