The arrival St XJharleston is virtually the grand finale of theinovement which began, before-the fall of the actions at Honey HtU and near the Crojiawatchte. Owing to the dlfleult character of life country and the strongly fortified position of tl|f enemy Hill (of which so’ little hy our guides), our battle in that South Goibllnlan jungle and wilderness was a natural revisfile. The enemy, however, were pre> vented relnforllog Hardee, and when that com mander madeMs escape it was by leaving his cars, and marchlngwiund General Hatch’s point of at tack on the ranoad, while his trains stole qutetljr throngh at night to join him at a plans of safety. ZK have opposed Hardee sueoess fully at thatfpme would h%ve required a larger force’ thsin General Hatch had at his eom mand, and such opposition was expected. XlUr the miAi of Shenman across the Sa vannab"rtyef,'d|nd from Beaufort to Focotallgo, and thehoe, railroads between.Branchvllle and Augusta,general Hhtoh’s |command was em- railroad base leading fromPo ootallgo to Cfiwieston, with Instructions from Gene. ralgherman Charleston. On the 18thhe the Edlsto 1 river, near Jackson bqro,liaylEg hmicd the bridge on the previous night, Til Edisto nM| this place is deep and strong ; but by the 21st forcas had crossed on a bridge of their own imipfng, end were'thon divided, with orders to snot the oonntry to the month of the Bdbßto, mills, stacks, plant,- tatlons to aXjarge number, were destroyed, in this raid, iffUiainbla imitation of General Sher man. At Bantonl Creek, on the 22d, it was found that a brldgehSd been set on fire by the enemy, but extinguished by.the erer loyal friends of the soldier, the negroes. On the 23d, half of the. division went over to the ABBley river, while the other, under oom.- mand of Qolohid Van Wyok, of Hew York, was left, to finlßh destroying the enemy’s supplies, and to bring In some pieces of light artillery, abandoned by the enemy," between sjantonl and the Edls to. Altogether, thirty-six pieces of artillery were found ' In the Edisto gregion, of whieh eight portable* light guns were taken away by 001. Van Wyok. Many batteries lying off the stono were left unvlslted, but the whole of this country, round has come into our possession without a blow. The batteries at the crossing of the Edlßto were ex tremely strong, and the whole region fortified, at every approach. The swamp roads run ning throngh the .rise plantations were passable for heavy columns, and a determined enemy could hold a large force at bay with com paratively small numbers. The enemy appear to have been thoroughly deceived as to the extent of our forces, and, by a judlolons system of flank ing, were quietly pushed from every position. Meanwhile, Gen. Potter -advanced from Bull’s Bay;: Gen. Sohlmmelpfennlg’s forces to games Island, and, with these various co-operations,. Charleston was secured without delay. Gen. Hatch acknow ledges, In high terms, the engineer services of Lieut. Col. Hail, of How York, and of Lieut. Ed wards, of h£ staff. THE ?LANTATIO3SS. In thn South Edlsto oountiy the woods wets found full of deserters, between whom and the planters a very bitter feeling existed. All the able-bodied negroeß- had been carried off. On the north side of the river, eight miles below Jacksonboro, Edward/Bamwell, _ene of the notorious Barn wells, taH reputedHi) ISe had burned his plantation. Old William Barnwell, a more timid and cruel man, remained near hls property, and on the approach of our troops begged proteotlon from the rebel deserters, who, he said, would kill him. He was also anguished at the apprehended loss of hlB property, and entreated that it might be bayed. “ Raise your flag,,then,” said Col, Tan Wyok. “But I haven’t got any,” replied Barnwell. “Then,” rejoined the Colonel, “I’ll give you one-half hoar to make It.” At the end o! the half hour a ragged flag was seen above the slaves’ quarters, plaoed there by some poor contra band to save his own Uttle property. Old Mr- Barnwell had not time to gather banting, and so his plantation was burned. The greeting of the negroes was the most In spiring episode of the march. In sight of their burning homes they came out on the roadside to welcome the troops. At the BarnweU plantation the old housekeeper cried out, “De good God! Bress de Lord L Be Union am come!” One of oar officers remarking that In the burnMg of their mas. ter’s property perhaps their own would have to be destroyed, one of them exclaimed, “Here’s everything wegot to live on—take all! take all!” They had expected the coming of the “ Yankees.” “ We’s been makto’ glad fur to see you,” was a common expression. “ We’s been lookin’ at your smokes; we’s been a-hearto’ your guns far off,” said the old housekeeper. Only one ease, very rare in the experience of out soldiers, occurred where slaves showed any real af fection for a master. It waß at the Gibbes planta. tlon, Immediately below old Barnwell’s. Mr. Gibbes, who left his property, three years ago, called his negroes round him, and confided St entirely to them. He left no overseer or driver, and the ne groes have managed .and supported themselves, Inrespeotof these olroumstances, the Gibbes pro perty was unburned and a guard placed over It, Whither the owner went Is not exactly known; but the negroes spoke of him as a Union man, who fied to escape the persecutions of .Barnwell, and con scription In the rebel service. They said that he had never whipped a slave, and had turned an over seer away for doing it, and for theße reasons they felt towards blip much as children towards a father. Old William Barnwell, however, was hated. They were unanimous that he ought to be hung. What ever became of their property, old, BarnwelFs ought to be burned. “ Jes’ burn ole Maresr Barnwell out. Ours ain’t worth much anyhow!” During Gen. Hatoh’s march in the Edlsto country not less than thirty mills and granaries were burned, with what justice the following circular, found at Clifford's rice plantation, will show: ' OOTIOB op Subsistence, Charleston, Oct., IS&4. To the Planters of South Carolina: ■ Gentlemen : The Government requires one-half of your present crops for the subsistence of the army. The price aUowed Is that established hy the State OommlEsloaers, and ruling at the time of de livery. At present It Is *5 per bushel. In obedience to Instructions, purchases will he made whenever practicable, and impressments re sorted to only In those cases where it becomes neces sary. It Is highly desirable that I should ascertain from each planter his willingness to sell,one-half of his crop to the Government, at the schedule price, and what that portion will probably bb. I would therefore respectfully request to he informed at an early day, by letter. I am'satisfied that it Is only necessary to make known to you the requirements of the Government, to order to insure your zealous co-operation to the furtherance of its object. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, / Your obedient servant, I . Wm. M. TuNNO, Captain and A. G. S. THE CITY. The restoration in Charleston is proceeding very Slowly out of the social ruin which the rebels left- General John P. Hatch now commands the district; Colonel Stewart x». Woodford governs the city. The flrm and courteous policy of the latter commander has already worked good results. In the absence of general orders, applicants for privileges under the Union have received prescriptions suitable to thel r cases, and become converted by detail. These ex amples have been of more benefit than double the number of precepts, and there Is dally quite a steady flow of petltloners to take the oath. The office or ths Indefatigable provost marshal, Major WiUough by, la crowded with business. A general order has at length been Issued, aB follows: I. All loyal oitlzens of the United States, residing to Charleston or Its vicinity, are Invited to call at the Post Provost Marshal and register their names, take the oath of allegiance to the Government, and receive certificates of having done so. 11. Post or brigade commanders will grant no posses or other favors to persons (owing allegiance -to the United States) who have not, by taking ths oath, shown their loyalty to the Government. 111. No guards will he placed over the houses of dozens for the protection of private property. Any person fearing molestation will best secure their property by planing to some conspicuous position on ihe premises the Sag of the United States. Persons detected to depredating on houses so protected, will be punished with additional severity. By oommand of Brig. Gen. John P. Hatch. Leonabd B. Pbbby, A, A. A, G. THE COLOBBD TBOTLB—FREE SOHOOLS. The crowded meetings to the colored churches, on last were emphatic proof of the enthusiasm or the negroeß to their new destiny, The congrega tions were excellently addressed Little field, Mr. Jas. Redpath, of the Trtmme, and a num ber of their own leaden. They received the speeches with an Intensity of interest and rejoicing, and en tered heartily into the enterprise of opening free sohools. Under the following general order, public schools have been opened: Headquaetbks u. S. Fokohs, Post of Ohaelbston, City of Charleston, 8. 0,, Eeb. 27,1886. QBSXBAL OBDBBS, HO. 4. To provide for the education of the children of Charleston, and thus to prevent vagranoyand assist to maintaining good order, mr. James Redpath Is hereby appointed superintendent of education for this post. He will take possession of all the public school buildings and school apparatus pertaining thereto, and. will receipt therefor to Blent Bodge, 127th N. Y. V., the post quartermaster. His office will be at the? public school building bn St. Phtlllp street. Hr-' Sane O’Bonnel is appointed! assistant Bopeiintetdert of education.

By, order of Lieut, 001. Stewart L, Woodford, 127th N. Y. Y., commanding post. Henry H. Jbnks, - Captain B2d’ F. V., and A. A- A HeaeraK The appointment or the gentlemen named to tho* honors of establishing free schools in Charleston is' a high compliment both to themselves and the lead lng anti slavery journals whloh .they represent It is more especially a deserved tribute to Mr. Bed path’s long and honorable experience as a slnoere friend to the Blave and to liberty. A score of applicants for places as- teachers have been examined; and the st. Philip school, th«" first really free school' in Charleston, has opened with half a dozen promising elasses and' teachers. White and black' classes are taught • to the same buHdlng, though the familiar prejudice ‘ more thanjhesltates to favor the association of races, or to allow native white teachers to instruct the blaoke. Fortunately, the cause does not require the aid of these reluctant missionaries; the blaoks de sire the chance of teaching themselies, and are anxiouß to support schools of their own. A few of the white teaohers are well-dltposed, but feel com-, polled to obey the eoeial fiat; but no such ambition ; to be taughtis manifested among the whites as at pre sent among the blacks. Besides St. Philips’, the . Morris School Is being organized. The presence' i of rebel school-books, and the absenoe of national grammars, are among the distresses of the private : schools which have come to be registered under the new system. All teaohers are required to be loyal and’abjnre Richmond school-hooks and rebel gongs! : The colored citizens are about to arrange for a grand procession on the 4th of Maroh, in honor of their deliverance and Mr. Lincoln’s re-inauguration. BXCKDINB CHUKCKKS. Blsloyalty, even of a negative character, Is not : among things tolerable under the policy of the new ! commandant. In consequence of the shelling of the Slower part of 'the town, the various Episcopal congregations have been long accustomed to meet In St. Paul’s, on Camming street, the pastor of ; which is the Rev, W. W. Howe, a scholarly minis f ter, of the High Churoh of England, but in no other sense respectable. In the services of last Sunday he failed to pray for the President of the United States, and was Invited to aonfor-wtth tho com mandant. In this interview Dr. Howe politely de clined to pray for the Government. The reply of Colonel Woodford was equally oonrteous. Inas much as the prayer for the President waa a part of tbeestabllehed Episcopal form, lte omission was a breach of allegiance, and unless the Doctor would pray loyally he could not preach at all—preaching being a privilege nnder the law,- the prlee of which was loyalty. The example made Is beneficial. THBS LOYAL OinztSß. At a 'call, of Dr. Maokay and Prof. Sawyer, the banished principal of the Normal School, the Unionism of Charleston have held several meetings, for the purpose of making a fall registry of their numbers, and co-operating with the military hu thorittee. In one of these meetings It was debated whether Gov, Aiken belonged to the first or second class of Union men, but was finally decided to the affirmative side. Gov. Aiken, whatever his merits, fell far below the loyal standard of the late James Petigru. He- aided the rebellion on a number of occasions, became, It was presumed, he had to do so. His .great wealth as -a property owner would have made a positive position extremely unsafe for him, and he was nearly related to the Khetts, . and many of the fiercest Secession families, from which category a number of the Alkens them selves are not to be excluded. Theße things are to be considered, but Aiken deserves none of tho honors dne to> brave men, and it is doubtful now whether he most rejoices to the restoration of the right autho rity or regrets the loss of his property. Along with other planters, he gave startling cautions to his slaves against the Yankees. This must be pntdown as otto of his Elnsy and, though counted a good mas ter to the barbarian society of South Carolina, it will show- what the slave system was at its best, to state, upon creditable authority, that Gov. Aiken and hlB family performed many acts of special lnjustlce towards his slaves. We owe. men Uks Aiken little or nothing for being favorable to the Union, and it is not expected that the loyalty of this class of men will eke out a covering for the property of their rebellious relatives. - GUHB AND TORPEDOES. It Is estimated that over four hundred and fifty guns have been aaptured in and around Charleston. To these may be added the batteries of the Stono and Edlsto, fallen Idle since General Hatch drove the rebels from that region. Counting the batteries, Torts, and guns taken to and around Savannah, TOO guns have some Into the national possession to the space of tiro months. In an interview yesterday with Captain W. W. Gray, the engineer employed by the rebels to lay ' down the torpedoes, and now engaged to taking them up to the harbor and rivers, the statement was elicited that over a dozen were thus far re moved, There are about two dozen to all, bat a small proportion of wbloh are to effective condi tion. Captain Gray claims to have boon a man of Union feelings, although working for the rebel Government, and states that when tips torpedo lay under the Ironsides, a year ago, It was due to his having cat the wire which connected It with the chemical battery at Fort Bee that It did not blow up that vessel. Some of the tor pedoes, it will be understood, were detached, but others were exploded by operators on shore and at the torts. Captain Gray thinks that Charleston might have been taken by the navy, ' during- the past year, without any groat danger from the torpedoes; but his story considerably modi fies the statement reoentiy made, but true at the time, that no torpedoes had been found to the har bor. Formidable as they were, they did not prevent blockade-running. ' Captain Gray was liberated from prison on tho arrival of the Union forces, hat upon what charge he was oonflned does not yet appear. ADDITIONAL OATTBBBB, Reports of a battle at Columbia have reached us, hut deserve little credit. Georgetown, with a few guns, has been captured by the navy. A band of rebels have been encountered, at Monk’s Corner, about a dozen miles from the city. BBLIOB OP BARBARISM. . The stories which we hear ol the erneltles prac ticed by. the masters greatly exoeed the wonders of “Uncle Tom.” Every freedmanhas some new phase of suffering to reveal.. In one of the small towns, Simms’, If not James’, “solitary horseman” was seen pulling a slave girl along with him by a rope just as a slave abiding congregation were corning out of churoh. In respectable gossip here Robert Toombs Is said to have a white daughter waiting at his table. 'Will It to believed that one of the Chisolms flogged his gfil-slave till her back bled because she would not consent to] sacrifice her honor to a brutal master. ' The freedmen have not ceased to rejoice over the event of their deliverance. One of the church leaders Eald lately, with great awe and reverence, .pointing to tho arms or the soldiers, “It wasn’t dose dat did it; it was dess,” and he placed his hands on the worn homespun at his knees, K.O’D. Judge Kelley gets the following deserved com pliment from the New Orleans Independent, of Fe bruary 21: ««A careful perusal of Judge Kelley’s speech will satisfy any Impartial man that to point 01 research! ability, and tone, It stands pre-eminent. It is such a speech as carries convietlon with It, and- at the same time manifests a lofty patriotism, combined with a cosmopolitan breadth of view rarely to be found to the debates of the House. It is to be hoped that the real friendß of the Administration will not fail to send a largo supply of It to pamphlet form to Louisiana. The loval people or the South are un der obligations to Judge Kelley. His manly effort to their behalf Is justly appreolatedby them.” An Insane somnambulist.— Mrs. Warren Pot ter, of Greenfield, Mass., who has been to a condl tlon resembling sleep for eighteen Weeks, awoke a few days ago. She states that It was the will of God that she should go Into that state, and that on Thursday He revealed it as His will that she should awake, and she awoke. She also states that she has known all that has been said and occurred in her presence during, the whole time. Some pretty se vere experiments have been used to bring her to consciousness, by electricity and other ageneles, but she has withstood them all. Hundreds of physicians, quacks, clairvoyants, spiritualists, and others, have visited her during the time. Her disease haß proved to be a species of religious Insanity, weU known to medical men as appearing to persons to her state of health. She concluded that she had waked up too quick, and went to sleep again. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The fall in gold yesterday—tie natural consequence of our improving' military and financial condition— absorbed universal attention! and unsettled the stock and merchandise inarkets.to a very extent. The downward movement which, commenced shortly before the capture'of Charleston, when it stood at 212, ha* been steady and regular. Every indication favors tbe belief that this movement will continue, unless some reverse now unforeseen happens somewhere along the military horizon. The address of the new Secretary of the Trsaiary, made to the employees a >f his Department on Thu? sday, contains words of hope and enemrage meat for the country, and goes far to improve public confidence that Mr. McCulloch will accomplish what he says is yet within bis power, to discharge the claims upon the Treasury at the earliest day practicable, and to institute measures to bring>the business of the coun try gradually back to the spade basis. 15 The chief ex eitement at the Stock Board yesterday was the new movement in Big Tank Oil Company, ,which* on the reportofa“stiike ,, ftomtheeompany. , asnperintendent:, caused the shares to sell freely, opening at S&, and clos ing firm at 6 H The other oil stocks did not sympathize withthiaadvance, thongh the aggregate sales were again large.

IK‘ *•' In another column will be found the advertisement of the Mutual Petroleum Company, of which, the stock Is to be issued on the basis of twenty five cents per share. It is Quite' likely that this mode of securing sab* ectlptions will become Quite popular, especially in view of the difficulty-many companies experience U getting off stock at higher rates. In Pittsburg, we understand, a company is about t< rmlng for six cents per share. There can be no Objection to low- priced stock maiely be cause it is low-priced Other things being equal, there is the same chance of success as attends other enter* prise* of larger capita!; the p.ofits are distributed pro rata to the number of sharers. A day or two ago a twenty-five cent company started in this city, and ' when the subscription books clostd the stock sold at a very great advance, and this f* as likely to be the case with other companies formed on a similar basil, is showing the avidity of the public to buy oil stock when it can he obtained at a low,-figure, it is stated that the Mutual sold 60 ODD shares yesterday, the first day for the opening of the books.' A well flowing two hundred barrels per day hue been opened on Hughes river, Wirt osuniy, West Vir ginia, and another on the Morgan fanUT between the Standing Stone and Burning Springs Bun. yielding ninety barrels per day, and in consequence there has been a great demand for * shares of the Standing Stone and other companies which have-large interests in that vicinity. A report of Henry K, direr, and Leri Heed, com missioner* of the corporation tout, made in compli ance with, an order of the State Senate of Ohio, re, ve&U some of the tricks /by which worthless stock Is palmed off upon an unsuspecting public. The report appears la full in the Cincinnati papers. It appears that, thirty-ftve coal and miniog companies iaTCiacin* nai were taxed upon ihelr real value, and their offi cers submitted affidavits setting forth the fcras condition of the companies and the worth of their shares. The officers of these companies state that quotations of sales of their stock is the stock lists, on which the tax In many cases was predicated, werejictitious, therehavtng been no sales* They were whrt the brokers call .‘‘scratched’ * sales Albert Case, Treasurer of the Amet lean Gold MjningCcmp'y, whose stock was quoted in the re port at testified that it was bought only by sub ecriber* at 29 cents, and none was ever sold at the stock board; Charier Barrett and others connected with the Atlantic Gold Mining Company, swear that its stock was quoted in the sales of the brokers’ board at $2 and higher,'when no sales were made, and that this was done to give it a market value, while it would not have brought 26 cents at auction. The officers of the Canada Lead Mining Company, of the Gape Breton Coal Mining Company, of the Brome Mining Company, and a long catalogue of others, expose the same trick, bat do not generally admit any personal agency in the fraud. One individual, however, Lucias B. Waite, a large stock holder in the Grand Trank Copper Mining Company, distinctly states that he ordered quotations of that stock at sl# to $1& to be reported when no sales took place, and the dock was not worth more than SIH share, A bili has passed the Senate of Delaware providing for the issuing of bonds to the amount of $4OO 090 in aid of the Junction and Breakwater Bailroad. $88,003 of which are to be delivered to the directors as soon as $6O, COO worth of stock has been subscribed, and similar amounts of bonds for each $60,000 worth of stock until $2 O.COO in stock has been taken and bonds issued to the amount of $862,000.

Trade, how ever, is not as animated as there has Been reason to ex pect at this time of the yeaiyaud is much less than da ring the corresponding time . last season With the numbers of buyers now in the market, and the ad vanced state of the season, more animation is dally looked for. Bogton Boot ana Shoe Jfnrket, Kareli 9. The Shoe and Leather Reporter says: We have to chronieie another quiet week in the shoe trade* with an unsettled market; holders of goods firm, and buyers holding off as much as po*eibte for lower rates. Thereha*been 60 few goods purchased this win ter that stocks for springtrade in Western cities must bo vexy limited. Dealers from that section now in the city are in some cases purchasing with more avidity, but have, or piofess to have, the opinion that goods will rule lower. The cost of manufacturing most styles of shoes for summer wear has decreased somewhat, but of this change the buyers have, as usual, reaped the ad vantage. The shipments of-hoots and shoes from Bos ton lor the two months of ISBriastpassed have been less than 100,0C0 cases, against 231,813 dating the same period of ISM, and 123,182 for the two first months of JS63. Among the shipments of the week were £66 cases, ex ship Chieftain, and 996 oases, ex Charger, for California, and 901 muss boots and shoes for Bow Orleans.
