1t is stated in city journal that
Collector @. l.. Anderson visited the
military commander at this post, on
Monday evening, to ask him to send
troops to Bolton. The commandant
did not comply with the request. We
shank the commandant for his good
Judgment in this matter. Let Matti-
son be fairly and impartially tried,
bnt let the military keep to their quar-.

Deepening tho Bar OF Charleston.


The people of Charleston have re-
solved to deepen the bar by dredging
the Pumpkin Hill Channel to the
depth of twenty feet at mean high
water. In conformity with the sug-
geston of the Chamber of Commerce,
the City Council, OF recent meeting,
agreed to enter at once into contract
with Professor Maillefert to execute
the work. He is to reft and fully
furnish the steam dredge Josephine
and employ it in dredging the channel
to the required depth, and for keeping
open hereafter this and the other chan
0els across the bar. He is to be ready
to begin in sixty days. The amount
OF $l2, 900 is to be paid, in monthly
instalments of $4,000, to defray the
expenses at the outset; and when,
within twelve months, the dredging
has been completed 30 that there shall
be created permanent passage from
the harbor to the ocean, nowhere less
than 250 feet wide. and nowhere less
-han twenty feet deep at mean high
water. upon turning over to the City
Council the steam dredge josephine in
good order, the contractor is to receive
the remainder due. namely. s38, 1000.
It was unfortunate that the Congress.
sional appropriation for the bar and
harbor of Charleston was so small and
inadequate. In a national point of
view, it is desirable that all obstruc-
tions and difficulties in the way of the
business and success of this historical
city should be permanently removed.

Robertson that Congress will reimburse
80 the city the money it has so wisely
expended. It should do it, certainly
and appropriate as much more in
other harbor improvements.

"hlttemore Before Ills Constituen rat 8.
Parson Whittemore held forth on
the 4th of July, at Florence, to q
crowd of black and colored people, in
a speech which dealt in historical re-
oital. and was void OF political bias.
This we learn from the Darlington
4Southerner, which says that special and
extra trains were crowded with enthu-

adds that it would have been we'll had
all the citizens OF the County been

Three things may be noted here.
First-the character of the speech. It
shows thnt even Whittemore is begin

It is appalling to think OF how much

the desert wisdom which might
have greatly aided the weak Judgments
of the voters in choosing O Senator OF

the circumstances described and from
the language of the Southerner, that

A Northumbrtan Sermon.

In the Atlantic Monthly for August,
is sketch ofa '.Northumbrian VILLAGE
which contains some interesting facts
| about the ignorance of the poor fisher
men of that country, and the slow
process of civilization among them.
The most interesting portion Of the ar.
tlcle, however, is the following account
of the five or six devout fishermen who
leavened the lump Of Northumbrian
sin:
Two were Baptists, one Sweden
borgian, one an 1rvingite, and one stood
alone, calling himself a member of the
Church Of Christ. What was very re-
markable, the society of these poor
fishermen, who, divested of their
religion, were nothing more
than poor, ignorant men, was
sought by some of the most eminent
dvines Of the mother country, includ.
ing Cummings Of London, Lee of Edin-
burgh. Cairns Of Berwick-on-Tw Tweed,
Mursell, the Manchester Spurgeon, and
hosts of others. Ignorant Of every
other class Of literature, these men
were thoroughly conversant with the
Holy Scriptures and the best theologi-
cal works. So extensive was their
knowledge, so vast their comprehen-
sion Of truth, so subtitle their reason
ing, that the most learned divines we're
humble before them, and listened to
them in wonder. The Rev. John
Cairns, D. D., man as remarkable for
his profundity as for his eloquence, had
handsome church built by his con.
gregation. When it was finished, he
invited one of these fishermen-he who
called himself a member of the Church
OF Christie examine it. Arm
in arm the doctor of divinity
and the North Sea fisherman walked
through the richly carpcted aisles ex.
amined the gorgeous pews, gazed upon
the carved pulpit, the lofty ceiling, the
stained glass windows.
''What do you think of it brother!'
asked the doctor.
The rugged North Sea fisherman
raised his eyes to the ceiling, drew his
rough fustian jacket closer around him,
and folding his arms upon his breast,
said in revercntial tones:
"Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not
in temples made with hands,
The divine gazcd upon the fisherman,
an expression of admiration on his face.
and laying his hand on the ]atter's
shoulder said:
Brother, you have preached the first
and the grandest sermon that will ever
be heard within these Walls.''
