THE OLD "JoE JoHNsoN."-An item in
the GAZETTE yesterday stated that the keel
of the old steamer "Joe Johnson" had been
dug up at Messrs. Agnew & Co.'S. ship yard
the previous evening. The boat in question
would be quite curiosity of primitive ma
rine architecture were she in existence at
this day, and though numbers Of Alexan-
drians we'll remember the crude craft, at
least four.fifths of the present population OF
the city never saw her, while II may Dc
safely said thousands never hearu OF her;
About forty years ago this steamer appeared
in the Potomac, commanded oy ner owner,
Captain Joseph johnson, aad was placeo on
the route between this city and Washing
ton. Her model resembled somewhat a
picture of the steamboat in Anticipated
copies of John Comly's spelling book. Her
bow was shaped like that of the Mary
Washington, though she was much smaller
steamer, but her speed through the water
was nearly MS swift. Like all steam craft Of
that day she burned wood, and consequent
" had to carry cargo Of fuel alone when
her trips were in any way extended. Eth
or in 1851 or '52, two double enders similar
10 those now run)--the Unions and the
George Page placed on the Wash
ington ferry route, aud having been
constructed to carry wagons AS well as
passengers, the Joe Johnson" either hay
ing become Improbable or grown too VEN
cradle in years, was beached in front Of the
ruins of an old tobacco warehouse, which
faced the river between Gibbcn and Frank
lin streets. The work of demolition was
slow, and for long time the decks OF the
stranded boat afforded convenient place
for angling and bathing, while the saloon
was utilized as card-playing resort, where
many Sunday morning was whlled away
by scores in handling the pasteboards. The
upper work was finally removed, and the
hull, minus deck, left, which remained al
most intact, till the present new shipyard
was built, aud then all but the keel was dis
lodged, in order that the schooners built by
Messrs. Agnew 81 Co. could be launched,
and about half dozen fine specimens OF
marine skill have since been consigned to
their elem ent over the spot where once the
primitive craft had lain. In the office of a
we'll known city corporation there can now
be seen, framed, II small ''poster," embellish.
ed with the cut of an old-fashioned steam
boat. The picture is not much of an i'm
provement on some of Fulton's first ven
lures In the forward part of the boat
bowsprit protrudes Though in what way it
was utilized is an enigma), while the print
ing on the bill announces the running Of the
zoe johnson" between this and the capital
city. This steamers demise was synchro-
nous with the demolition Of the rope walk
on Jones' Point. In 1872 her bell, which
had been preserved by Mr.. James p. Cole
man, was presented to the trustees of the
Second Presby terrain Church, and placed on
their chapel, on Lee street.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 4.-Colonel
Wilson, the Postmaster who refused to
surrender his office to George w. La
mar, recently appointed to supersede
Wilson, was formally and forcibly put
out of his Office on Thursday by Special
Inspector Simpson, who came here
from Atlanta for that purpose. Simp-
son, accompanied by Lamar, came to
the postoffice this evening, and the
Special Inspector told Wilson he had
orders to place Lamar in possession of
the Office, and that if necessary he
would forcibly eject Wilson. Wilson
refused to surrender the office, and
asked the Special Agent, who consti-
tuted the force he relied upon to put
him out. The Inspector replied by ask
ing two gentlemen present if they
would act as special delegates and as
sist him in ejecting Wilson. They ac-
quiesced. Wilson, turning around,
said: "Three men against one." He
then went to the hat-rack, took down
his hat and umbrella, remarking that
he would hold the Inspector responsible
for what he was about to do. Inspector
Simpson then took Wilson by the arm
and marched him out of the office.

Unfortunate Charleston.

During the last quarter century
Charleston has had succession of mis-
fortunes. A fiourishing and proud city
previous to the civil war which began
within its limits, the close of the war
left it impoverished, wrecked and al
most deserted. It was some time before
a disheartened population plucked up
courage to attempt the recovery of some
OF its past prosperity. In the end the
effort was successful, and Charleston
became once more busy and prosper
GUS.
But the elements have warred against
it. 1t has been no stranger to earth
quake phenomena. A tidal wave dam
aged the lower part of the town. 1t has
been repeatedly swept by heavy storms,
doing damage by wind and rain. Just a
year ago cyclone burst upon it and
caused heavy losses. Now successive
earthquake shocks have ruined an i'm
portant part of the city, caused serious
disaster to life and property aud left a
large proportion of the standing struc-
lures in such condition that little conf
dence is felt in their safety, The peo-
pie are In momentary fear of repeti-
tion of the shocks, with the completion
of the ruin begun last Tuesday. To add
to the misery of unfortunate Charleston,
the period of equinoctial storms is at
hand, and remembering the disastrous
experience of former years with these
storms 1t Is no wonder the people in
their present exposed situation and
with the insecure condition of their
houses, fear the threatened storms al
most as much as recurrence of the
earthquake shocks.
Such q condition of affairs appeals to
the sympathy ofeveryone and calls for
prompt and generous aid. The blow
that has fallen upon the people of
Charleston is crushing, but its effects
can be partially relieved by kind words
and generous acts on the part of their
fellow-countrymen. There was never
a better opportunity for demonstrating
to our brethren of South Carolina that
we are one country and one people.
There would be special lesson of BROTH
erly affection in the sending of imme-
diate and liberal help from the Western
Reserve of Northern Ohio to the strick-
en- people of Charleston. 1t would en-
phasize the fact that the difference of a
quarter century ago have disappeared
utterly and we now have common inter-
ests and an inseparable bond of mutual
affection. Dealer.
