The FIRE DEPARTMEST.-We have received
from Mr.. NJ. d. Nathan, the chief OF the Fire
Department, copy Of his report for the year
ending April, 1871. There were Twelve fires
and twelve false alarms, the total amount oi
losses by fire being 1851. The chief asks
that legal force be given to his investigations
Of the causes of fires; again calls attention to
the dilapidated condition of several engine
houses, (especihlly the Palmetto,) and asks
that an alarm bell costing s50o) be erected at
the Arsenal, the commanding officer Of which
Captain Ramsay will have the bell rung With
out expense to the city. The expenses Of the
Department were $50, ,23l, Of which s4350 we're
spent for repairs, &C., not coming under the
head of running expenses. The chief recon-
mends that this sum be divided among the
several companies, whose annual pay does not
cover their expenses. Twelve additional IRE
wells are earnestly recommendations on
East Bay and eight in the upper wards. The
Department now consists of twelve steamers.
two hook and ladder trucks and seven hand
. engines. The chief says he is prepared to
prove that this Department is the most eco'
nomical in the country, and that to run four
steamers las paid Department. would cost as
much as the whole pay Of the present volun-
teer organization.

DECLINE OF THE FEVER.

The tabular statement printed in The NEWS
of Friday last showed that there were forty
seven deaths from yellow fever, from July 20,
to September 9, inclusive. Another week Is
past, and nine deaths are added to the list, VIZ:
Two on September l2, three on September IL,
one on September IA, two on SEPTEMBER 10,
and one on September l6. 1t is possible, out
extremely improbable, that one or two deaths,
occurring between September 9 and Septem-
Der l6, are not yet reported to the city regis
trar; but, as the count stands, we have total
Of only sc deaths from the 25th of July, when
the first death from yellow fever took place, up
to Saturday last. a glance at the annexed
table will show that the heaviest NOR.
tality this year was in the week end
ing September when there were twenty-one
deaths. But in 1854 the greatest mortality was
in the week ending September l6, and in 1856
in the week ending September 3O,and in 1853 in
the week ending September lS. This would
seem to suggest ihat the earliness of the pre-
sent season, as shown by the cool weather, has
put US so far forward that there is no danger
whatever Of any considerable increase in the
number of deaths. On the contrary, we have
good reason 10 believe that the mortality will
steadily diminish, and BY the end Of the month
will be Insignificant. Charleston has popula-
ton of nearly $4,000, and We have only 9
deaths from fever in an entire week. The
epidemic is asst. Iishlngly mild in character,
and Charleston, in spite Of the fever, Is one Of
the healthiest cities in the Union.
We annex our usual table of comparative
nnnrtalifr.

ASSAULT ON Observation-Disclosures 6
and o'clock Friday afternoon, Lewis May,
who had been drinking, entered the store of
Mr.. Jno. Lutjen, at the corner of State and
Queen streets, and asked tor something 10
drink. This was refused, unless he psid for
the liquor. In his quarrelsome mood May re-
garded this as an insult, and sti * at the pro-
!. prietor. The latter defended himself until the
police were called, when May was arrested
and taken to the, Guardhouse. He was brought
before the Mayor next morning, and sentenc-
ed to term of twenty days in the House OF
Correction.

The HEBREW NEW YEAR.-Saturday last
marked the opening of the Jewish New Year
5632. The New Years day Of the Hebrews is
the first day of the sixth month Tisri, and is
caed the beginning of the sacred year, which
dates from the creation of the world, accord
ing to the biblical accounts, and is distinguish
ed from the civil year, which begins on the
first Hebrew month Nissan, which dates from
the formation of the Hebrews as nation.
Upon the New Year, (Rosh Hashonah,) also
called the day of judgment, (Yom Haddin,)
the rams hornls blown, which is to remind
the Israelte of the relation in which he stands
to his Maker 1t Ia observed with great so
lemnity, the reformed party among the He
brews observing it but one day, while the or
thodox celebrate 1t two days. The ceremony
of blowing the horn is based upon Leviticus,
23d chapter, oath verse: "Speak unto the
children Of Israel, saying, in the seventh
month, on the first day Of the month, shall ye
have Sabbath, a memorial of blowing trum.
pets, an holy convocation." The week pre-
cedIng the New Year is week OF penilence,
designed as q preparation for the New Year
and Day OF Atonement, which takes place on
the tenth day OF Tisri, or the 2eth day OF Sep
tember, In this year. This Is the most solemn
day for the Israelites, and Is devoted by them
from sunset to sunset the next day to prayer
and fastiag. The synagogues upon this occa,
sion are ever crowded. The observance of that
day is based upon Lev, 23d chapter, ,2sth verse
"Also the tenth day of the seventh month
there shall be day of atonement; it shall be a
holy conyocation unto you, and ye shall aftltcl
your souls and do no seryile work therein"
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1871-09-18

Non CoNPos MESTIs.-Peter Bright, COL
ored man, was lodged IN the Guardhouse, Fri.
day night, for being drunk and unable to take
care of himself in Broad street. He was
brought before the Mayor next morning, and
his irrelevant answers TO certain questions,
and the idiotic smile which illumined his dus-
kycountenance, convinced the lockers on that
he was not in his right mind. The Mayor,
after trying to make something out Of the case,
gave it up, and referred the grinnins subject
to the city registrar for examination.
