IMPORTANT TO BUILDERS. - - On Saturday morn? ing last four builders were arraigned before the Mayor, to answer the oharge of violating a city ordinance in not having fenced in the scaffolding around the buildings they had in course of erection.

UNACCOUNTED POR.-For about an hoar Fri .slay night there were plainly hjard in the city reports of heavy guns in qntck succession, tt was generally believed that the firing was from some vessel in distress. We learn that the steamer Emthe pu to sea about 8 A. M. Sat? urday, with a view ot rendering assistance in case it was nodded. Hbo returned <t 6 o'clock, having seen nothing. The steamships which arrived Saturday report nothing unusual, and the caudo of tho tiring yoi remains a mystery. THE CHAMPION. -Thia fine steamship, of tbe Adger line, arrived at thu port at an early hoar on Saturday morning. The Champion sailed from N9w York on Saturday, the 81st ultimo, but broke her crank-pin off the Capes of Dela? ware, and put back to Mew York. A new pin waa turned and put in plaee, and the ship sailed ?gain on Wednesday afternoon,arriving on Sat? urday, as staled. The trip waa a plaisant one in every respect, and the passengers-all of whom with one exception, remained aboard fi ora Saturday, the 81st,to Saturday hist-bi? bly appreciate the m ?ny attentions shown them by -the officers of the ship. Cap t. B. W Look wood was, as ever indefatigable io his devotion to his duties, and to his skilful seamanship and great energy lt ts mainly dna that tho accident already mentioned o .used no alarm,and that the Champion was noon in a positio . to make .an other start for Charleston.

The account ia Saterday's If HW? of ike re tarn ot Richard Murphy, who left bi? wife and Ave ohildren, eloped with a young married woman who had beee in hie emptor, remained away two dajs and returned within seven miles of the city on tho South Carolina Railroad train Friday afternoon, cloged with the state? ment that Mrs. Murphy bad left in a carrhuro for tho place where ber husband was lost seen, being bent, as she stated, apon attending to the matter herself without the aid of the law, and leaving a doctor's bill upon the woman that had come between her and her husband, meaning thereby that she would so for tho woman and leave her in such a oondi'ion aa would require tba attendance of a physician, and consequently make ber have a bill to pay. When Murphy and the woman got off of the c&ir at thc SCTC" m>lc puuSp, it wss rs?cmg very bard; but nothing daunted, they started to walk to town-ho evidently believing that it was best to mako gradual approaches upon the oity wherein lived his deserted wife, whom, he had no doubt, was very angry. at the Four mile pump ho W.\B very muoh surprised to be accost cd >y his wife, who bad como op in a carriage. She. without any pre ? liminary conversation, commenced to use no very complimentary language to tho woman, ani at tho same time looking as if she intend? ed to oarry her threat into execution. The wo? man, not desiring to withstand an assault from tho wife sin had doao so much injury to, and have a doctor's bill loft upon her, field from tho wrath whioh was evidently to come. Mrs. Mur? phy then endeavored to persuade her husband to return to his home, promising to let the past be a blank. Thia he refused to do, and would not even ride into the oity with ber, but pur? sued his way on foot. At last accounts he was walking about the oity, telling those who re? quested him to go home that he would go when bo-pleased. TUB SOLAB ECLIPSE.-Punctual to the timo announced in tho almanac, tho eolipse. of the sun took place on Saturday afternoon. Tho weather was fine, and that portion, at least, of the heavens in which the performance was to take pla oe, waa as cloudless as could be wish? ed. F sr at least half of an hour after the eclipse began, there was no perceptible dimi? nution of the sunlight. Bo h?tense is the light of the san that one-sixth of its disc, remaining uoeolipaed, will give out rays enough to read or work by with ease. About six o'clook, how ever, the obscuration bad become sufficient to be generally noticed, the light being of a strangely palo and sickly hue, and of about the power of that usu ally soon at early twilight. Multitudes of gazers were seen everywhere, ot win? dows, on piazsas, in the streets and on the bat? tery, most of them armed with smoked or col? ored glasses, opera glasses or perforated cords After six o'clook the hght rapidly recovered its power, a id before seven had become as power fbi as it usually is at that hour. The perform? ance on the whole, though strictly ooirect, and according to Miller, was geaerally voted by those who watched it a disappointment and a bore. Our neighbors -in North Carolina enjoyed a total eclipse, and that the readers of THE Nxws may know what it was like, we copy the follow? ing from the Wilmington Journal of yester day : No sight of more sublimity or grandeur oould possibly have been imagined iban the eclipse presented yesterday. Business was for -th? timo suspended, and every inhabitant, large and small, gazed with silent awe upon this wonderful phenomenon, one of the grand? est on record. The very breath seemed sus? pended during the total phase, and the mag? nificent sight was witnessed with feelings im? possible to describe. Admiration, awe, won? der, curiosity and delight were all singularly blended, and the scene was well calculated to awaken such feelings. At a few minutes past five o'clock the eolipse commenced. Those who watohed its progress through smoked glasses oould see the body of the moon gradually shotting out the bright circle of the sun, and casting its shadow upoa the earth. In abont thirty minutes the san was h ?If eclipsed, and ata few minutes past six o'clock the eclipse was total. lu the mean? time the earth grew daik, and as the light of day became obscured by this premature dark? ness, the atmosph?re grew cool and a chilly feeling swept over us. Thu thermometer fell four degrees, and the wonderful change was everywhere apparent, and evea the chickens began lo prepare for sleep, and actually went to roost. The darkness was that ot early night, but not so great as actual night lighted bv the moon, lt seemed a premature and unnatural darkness, and one that oould be felt. -I The total eolipse laste i for the space of three minutes. The sieht was one then toi the naked eye. The body ot the moon fully obscured tho sun, and around its edge was a crimson oircle from whioh mellow rays shot forth. Upon the lower edge of the moon ap? peared a considerable spot or gap, through which a deadened light was seen. In other parts of this planet and within the circle were to be seen two or three small spots through which tho light penetrated as through a veil. Several stars made their appear ance bright in the heavens and the firmament denoted night.. | While the ga ze ot all humanity was thus fixed the BUD boc;an to emerge from the eolipse. Tho first flash of his bright and golden rays appeared suddenly, and he seemed rapidly to emerge from the shadow. The dazzling effect ?as not immediate, but that portion of the sun's surface first see i appeared like ; liquid fire, and rays shot forth beautiful and in tbe heighth of splendor. Seen with the naked eye this liquid fire, os it were, seemed in commo? tion, sud it waa au optical delusion with Borne for so instant, that the two heavenly bodies bad come in contact and one was consomma the other. And the sight was graodly sublime and the wonders bf the works of God were folly manifested to our awe-stricken gaze. The passage of the sun from eolipse seemed quite rapid and soon interest was tost. Tho J earth resumed its'wonted appearance, the air again warmed, the pulpe of nature was renew? ed, and the cheerful light of day reappeared. 8oieotifio mea ali over the line of country in which the eclipse was visible-have made ex? tensive observations, and will publish them for tu? u??rui Ol ui? W???u. Th ? wppeafauce of the moon was no doub accurately photograph? ed for preservation. In witnessing th.? sight our age ard generation ha? been extremely fortunately. ? t CBUKB?.-The United States Court will meet to-day.

Mackey in TEDI N HWS and Cxmrier of tito Teh i ns tan t. Bat t fa oro aro -er tain ptat arnon ta therein which re? quire notice, not because they will airest me here, but m ,y mislead those who are not as conversant as my immediate follow-oitisma are of the facts. In commenting on my communication of August 9 Dr. Mackey says s " In i hat communication, extending te thc length ot two column* und a half. I have look? ed m vain ter any substantial defence against the charges preferred by me. Mo mikes no denial ot my charge that he oame to this city, originally, as ? devout admit er of the old niara power of the Knuth, and that, he was chosen as a teacher by our commissioners, from among hin Wort horn Competitors, becatuo such was bis character. "He says nothing of his former or present affluatious with the Denncratio party. He does not disclaim that hts chief counsellor at thin day ts a loading Democrat of this city. And he takes especial cora to bv? silent about my allusions to his . sharp practice * in referen oe to the billa of tho Banx of the State." To this I reply : 1st. That it is no secret that when I carno to South Carolina I was a. Democrat of what was known aa the "Douglis BOROO);" never an "Admirer,1* ..devout" or otherwise "oi the old slave power ot the (louth.*'nor iu any other souse a pro-slaverv ma i than as Deina willing to oide by the Constitution of tho United Mt ates so far ne it related to slavery. 2-i. That I competed with nobody for the position to wu.ci I was invited; but that I ac? cepted the place when tendered to me without solicitation or seeking ot? mv part. What mo? tives governed tho commissioners m giving that invitation, is better kuewn to tb em than to met 1 very naturally waa OOHvmoed by theil action that they thought me flt f<* my duties. 3d. Tbeie was no need for me to say any? thing about "present affiliations with the Dem? ocratic party ;" for I have had no such "affilia? tions" since 186*0. No act or word, done oi spoken by me, shows a particle of evidence o>. such a charge. 4th. I have taken no couosel in polit io a matters of any D?mocratie leader sm co nu abandonment of the Democratic party iu 1860 Dr. Hacker's assertion is a bise slander. EU should be aware that there are Bepublioani who neither betr ty nor propose to betray thoii party, and who yet are not personally si odious to, or malignant toward, their politioa opponents as to forbid social or business rein tions. 5th. I said nothing about "sharp practice in c onnection with the bills of tbe Bank of thc State, for the obvious reason that no suoh prac tice existed on my pirt. I saw no oonneotioi between that subject and my aotton iu regari: to the oolleotorship of thia por , and though i may bo consonant to Dr. Mackey's ideas c what belongs to a "Carolina gentleman" t drag into this discussion purely private al fairs, and though, so far as I am concern?e the whole world may know the history of m relations to the Bank ot the State, I,regarde the allnsim to the matter aa completely out c place in Dr. Mackey's speech, as it would b for me to say in chis letter that Dr. Meeki did not pay tor his family flour, were such th fact. Dr. Mackey continues: "Instead of this, whiob alone would bai boen relevant to the subject of discussion, I indulges in s strain of personal invective as scurrility, in which, as a 'Carolina genllemar (a term which he applies to me with a aimsti malice) 1 cannot attempt to compete with hin 1 presume that a 'Massachusetts gentlema: would be as adverse as myself to the uso < such weapons, borrowed from the armory i Billingsgate. ''His only a tempt, except by uusupportt assertions, to place himself in the Repuolic? ranks, ia by an appeal to the record of bow I stood in the rebellion. This certain ly has re thing to do with bis claim to Bepublioanis now. Bot I apprehend that if be had at tl time belonged to that party, he wonld hat been found, nt the very commencement of tl r?bellion, ratho* in the army Ol tile rapuoii fighting for the life of tho nation, than remai lng among ita enemies and picking up a litt addition to bis income by~ indulging in th?? n patriotio business of running the blockade the expense of the revenues of the Unit States, at the same time that he gave 'aid ai comfort' to the Confederacy. Knowing as Id how easily he could have left the city at th time knowing that be and other Northern m had oeen invited by the authorities to dena from the Confederacy, unless they were willit to become its citizens, and knowing, too, tb he had no tiea or property or kindred to bi him to the State, not only I, but some othe who saw his stalwart form and soldierly bet lng at the U ion Club, often thought that was the rigbt man in the wrong place. If ev? sou of Massachusetts had been inspired wi the feeling of loyalty that actuated the oom of Mr. Sawyer, that noble old State would he had no such glorious record as that whiob ii tory now gives of its part in crushing the : bellion." To whiob I say : lat. That Dr. Maokey, ia his speech of t 28tb ultimo, as wall as on many other pub and private occasions, has shown that be h master in the arts ot ''personal invective" 8 ''scurrility." It is therefore with diffidei that I dissent from an opinion expressed one who should be so good a judge, and 1 compelled to say that a careful re-reading my former oommnuication fills to sustain i charge. 21. I made no "attempt" "lo place mysoli the Republican ranks,'' "by an appeal to reoord of how I stood in the rebellion." "Tl certainly, bas nothing to do with my claim Republicanism now." dd. Taw charge ot "aid and comfort to rebellion by blockade running," is stale I charge, with others equally onfounded. ? mide bv Dr. Mackey's friends in Joly, 1868. fore the United States Seuate, who, witt the facts before them, with no word of exp] ation from me to a single senator, refused D decisive vote even to refer it to a commit* although the ears of many of them bad b poisoned, or attempted to be poisoned, by r who, if not my enemies, were certainly Mackey s especial friends. The charge refutation are on the journal of the Senate. Dr. Mackey wishes to revive it, he ia. nt' lint to do so. 4.h. There were two good reasons why I not leave South Carolina and the late so-ea Confederacy, after the proclamation of Jefferson Davis. The first, was that c mg the period of forty' days silo tor snoh departure, I had two child very ill, one at the point of death; parlare with my family would have bat Shvsieal impossibility without the rial ea th; departure without my /amity wc have been inhuman. The second' reason, i a good reason, waa that I did not recog? Mr. Jefferson Davis' riebt to dictate to tn citiaen of tho United 8tates, when or whit I should remove. Did Dr. Mackey recog? suoh a right? Why did he not go ? 5th. 1 left the . Confederate States" at first moment when it was practicable foi to go.away, and theught, when at the i night preceding my departure I opened doors to shelter Dr. Mackey and his faa who bad been frightened from their cwnhi by shells, I waa admitting a roan who more sense of propriety, and more rogart consistency, than to attemot to cast imo tiona upon the loyalty of a man for whose li fatness to the government be himself ha? g sworn testimony before the courts of the ted SI at es. But we 11 vo and learn. Ctn. lt, perhaps is not necessary to tell body else but br. Mackey that a m in o hardiv bo m two piaoea at once; but this account to him for mv not being ia the Ul States arm?, even nero there not other good reasons for it. I quote again : "I shall make no reply to Mr. Sawyer' fence of Mr. Clark. It Mr, Clark is comp? to discharge the duties of a colleotor of toma, he most certainly be able to defend self; when be does so (if ha ever dosel it be time enough for me to pay my complin to bim. I shoold tike to hear him dany, i own person, the eharge that he song h nomination of the Democratic party foi Mayoralty." My remarks, in relation to Mr. Clark in reply to the charge that my influence boon given to place a Democrat tn office were entirely germana to the matter, certain that Mr. Clark is able to defend Lin and Dr. Mackey dees not deny that he ??i Mr. Clarie himself that he (Dr. Maok6> >, * euoport bim fbr tho Mayraltv. . I call attention to the folio wing : , "Mr". Hawyer inainuateiTthat I bolong 'little knot of Southern-born men who rec proposed to each other to ignore and put < men not of Southern birth.' - "1 suspect that Mr. Sawyer haa hero d upon bia imagination or bis invention. I iii no such ?knot of Southern-born men. ?ave ho ml ot nu such proposition. As f am concerned, it is simply absrtrd.* Di* Maokey is swift to deny what I di afeara?, I ?a.d he ? soeaaod to Ma" of tb? "Ut tte knot," ?to. I only know that some persons very near Dr. Mackey, sod ?hose Mts arv nasally in harmony arith Dr. Mickey's views, did belong to that "Iittlo knot." lt is pleasant to know that Dr. Mackey hi ?self has a better ps'ioy in this matter than some of thoeo who are generally regarded aa hie exsenouts. lu ia wnfortunate foi1 the 6*.-tA>l?ootor that his ooaree bas been such that thoae who aro hw "warmoet and truest hienas iu the R-pub 1 can partv" aro not thoeo whoas birth and brooding have been in bia neighborhood. Is it possible that lh"dO who know him best are those who least love and esteem him t I trust not. H tran ?ors often misunderstand ns, but it is sad, indeed, wbeu thoeo who always have known"us withhold tho neighborly and friendly regard vhioh eo sweetenslife. A few words more, and I will not weary your patience longer. Dr. Maokey says: To mo all honest Republicans aro tho same, no matter from what State they may coane. I do not deuouuee Mr. Saw ver beoanse Massa? chusetts gave him butti, but because the po? litical course he is here pursuing, it pursued at Bootoo, would meet with the s une jost retri? bution that South Carolina will yet award to him." Mow, in Boston when they have a genuine Bopublicau as collector, they expect him to iako hie MU bord mates from the Itepublican part v. that is just what I wished I>r. Mackey to do; but he not only would not do this, but he would insist that men who did cot voto at nil. or voted the Democratic ticket, or voted PO secretly .hat nobody fcneto Kow they did voie, were "good Republicana." I hope tho Doo'or will not be anxious about the ..retribution" I shall get. Charity begins at homo. I have done. Not willingly havo 1 treepasao 1 thus far on - our snaoe. lhis oloaes tho con? troversy on ray part. I havo no reply to ranko to anj thing oise in Dr. jMackc>'s speech or hi 3 lotter. FUEDEBlCK A.

Again is thia Lodge called upon to mourn the death of another worthy brother. Again bas that insatiate archer, Death, eped his poisoned shaft into our midst, and borne off, in tho very spring time of lifo and in the midst of a bright career of usefulness, our brother, J. H. C. GOWEN. Could friendly and fraternal 1 affeotioes, andojthe warm feelings of every mem? ber ot this Lodge, have interposed between him and death, then he would still bo with us in all his pristine health and usefulness, aiding, ai ever was bis wont, in all that was conduc? ive to the well hoing and prosperity of our be? loved Order. Therefore, in consideration of his close affin? ity with ns, and his honorable life, while we tender to those near and dear to him our heart? felt sympathy, let ns not murmur against the decrees of an all-wise and {nat God. Be it, therefore, Resolved, That, whilst bowing in humility to tbe will of God, we cannot refrain from ex {iresbing the sorrow which we feel in the sad oss we have sustained. Resolved, That in the sudden and unexpect? ed death of our brother. J. H. C. GOWEN, in the spring time of life, we have been taught another solemn and impressive lesson, and made to feel more deeply that in the midst of life we are in death. Resolved, That in testimony of respect to our deceased brother, a blank page in our Min? ute Book ho inscribed with bis name and dedi? cated to his memory. Resolved, That as a token of respect and es? teem the working implements of the Lodge be clothed in mourning until tho end of the pres? ent quarter. Resolved, That a copy of 1 he foregoing pre? amble and resolutions bo sect io the widow of onr deceased brother, and that the same bo published in the CHABLESTON DAILY NEWS. Extract from tho Minutes.
