Afloat Again
   The Charleston Evening News, of the 23d, says:
   The ship Susan G. Owens, which got ashore on this bar on Friday afternoon, the 8th inst., with a cargo of railroad iron, was got afloat yesterday afternoon, after discharging about two thousand bars of iron, and was towed up to the city by the steamer Aid. Notwithstanding the bad weather that has prevailed since she got ashore, and the character of her cargo, the steam pumps kept here free of water without difficulty, and she gives but little appearance of being strained.
