And when, by any accident, said name is omitted in our Directory, the owners do not like it ; and not unfrequontly attribute it to improper mo? tives.

We will mention a few signs that have been brought to our attention, and we hopo that if, in the course of our investigations, we should be so unfortunate as to pass by any more,-the parties will not feel aggrieved, but send a note ar eard to the office, stating the fact, and it shall be prompt? ly and cheerfully remedied.

Postponed; to bo taken up at a later nour of the evening. Report of Board of Health, respecting a nuis? ance reported at a previous meeting, and opinion of City Attorney, was read. Received as informa? tion. Alderman Ravenel road the following report : The Committee of Ways aDd Means respectfully report to Council that, upon examination, they find there is an arrear of oity taxes, amounting to not less than $100,000, extending over a series of years, from 1859 to 1865, both inclusive. In the opinion of the Committee, it is but justice i to those who have paid promptly, that those who i have enjoyed a long forbearance should be re- < quired to take their share of the public burden, at the same time they are desirous of making as ; equitable an adjustment as the urgent necessities of the city will allow. . t Tho taxes due for the years 1859, I860 and 1861, the Committee think, should bo paid in full. There | was no sensible depreciation of thc currency dur- | inp three years, and tho parties in arrear have i certainly had a long indulgence. For the years I 1862, '63, '61 and '65, the Committee think, that os j the amounts due wero levied in a depreciated cur- i renoy, they should bo reduced to tho average of the standard of gold during tho month of May in i each of the said years respectively. The parties < would then be required to pay only the equivalent y of what was paid by those who settled promptly, j Tho Committee, therefore, recommend that tho City Sheriff be authorized to settle the taxes in' \ arrear iu his office upon tho basis just stated, J until tho first dav of July next, and tl?afc oft*>r"is( that time effectual moamireB bo takeu for tho en? forcement of the execution. j Alderman Steinmeyer reported from the Com- | mittee on Wooden Building?, in referenco to im? provements of the house on tho corner of Moot- ( mg and Calhoun streets, that thoy rocommond that the petitionor bo allowod to mako the im- ? provemonts, provided a brick wall is built around i tho building tho entire height. < Alderman Tronholm, from tho Committee on Accounts, reported favorably on tho following ac? counts: Charleston Gas Light Company, $1957.17; < Orphan House, $3250.83; for City Police, D. H. Silcox's bill, $451, Cantons t Jacobs'. $652; Fire ( Department, ?318.5G; Department Streets, $312.50; CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, advertising, &c, $397.81. ] Total, $7339.90. t Alderman Oakes, from Committee on Licenses, t reported that they have examined the several ap? plications for retail and tavern licenses, referred ( to them by tho Clerk of Council, and recommend t that licenses be granted to tho.io persons whoso names have already been advertised in the papers, 1 they having complied with tue requirements of i the law; the same to take dato from Januarv 1, \ 1866. Alderman Oakes, from the same Committee, re- ( ported on tho applications referred to them at tho last regular meeting of Council, and recommend < that licenses bo granted to the following per- ( sons: ? Auctioneer's Licenses: Z. B. Oakes, F. Backus, ] and Philip J. Porcher. Junk Shop Licenses: Margaret Baggett and 1 T. Tiencken. * i Licenses to keep and sell Gunpowder: C. Grave ley and A.

On motion of Alderman Trenholm, it was or- t dered that this Report, with statistics, be printed ] in pamphlet form. j Alderman Marshall moved that the Mayor ap? point a Committee of five Aldermen, of which ho shall bu Chairman, to confer with Mr. Orf, and to j aiF rd him such opportunities as may bo in their t power, to bring his proposed measures to the c notice of thc commercial portion of the com- c inanity. [Mr. Orf proposes to establish agencies in Eu- 1 rope, by which to encourage immigration to 1 Charleston, 8. C.] The Mayor appointed on this 1 Committee Aldermen Marshall, Macbeth, Small, Trenholm and Oakea. t Alderman Trenholm offered the following reso- t lutions : t L That his Honor the Mayor be requested to 1 call in all existing proxies to represont railroad c stock owned by the city. a Resolved 2. That it is the duty of the Commit- i tee on Railroads to vest the proxies of the city in i ono or moro members of that Committee; and e that, in tho absence of specific resolves of the 3 Council, it is tho duty of the Committee on Rail- c roads to decide ln<w thc vote of the city shall be I cast in any contested election for officers of any Railroad Company in which thu city owns stock. t First resolution agreed to; second lost. f Alderman Gerdts, from Committee on Streets, a offered the following resolution: ( Whereas, many of the lot holders in the burnt t district, on the west side of King-street, between f Clifford und Broad-streets, have offered to cede f the portion required to the city for the considera? tion that they be exempted from city tax on that t property this year, and from the assessment of t any expenses arising from widening of said streets: c Resolved, That Council will accept the forego- 1 ing, provided the same can be cari ied out gene? rally iu tho course of the next thirty days. i Adopted. 1 The Mayor brought to the notice of Council the < election, appointed for this evening, of two Direc? tors of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad \ Company.

The Globe of to-day has a report that the plot of tho Fenians is for a body of them to cross into Canada to take part in the public procession on St. Patrick's Day, who will disturb tue peace and distract attention, while armed Fenian bands will make raids on the border. TOBONTO, C. W., Friday, March 9.-The crisis has arrived. All the Canadian militia are being enrolled, and it is expected they will be called out immediately. Volunteers in companies and squads are rally? ing from all the back towns for the defence of the frontier. Over 2000 volunteers arrived hero to-night, and were billeted on the citizens. Tho people are fully aroused, and no man shirks duty, although a few have been arrosted through a misconception of the order calling them out. All the railways on the lines of the frontier aro keeping cn^ne-- fired up to run off trains. It is esM* i i that S0.W?. .roopB are now armed and rp'', i \ arch if invasion takes place. T .-..au hies are sanguine of their ability to drive uack aud defend their homes against any Fenian invaders. AMI the troops havo been drilling since two o'clook this morning. Aiull supply of ammunition has been issued to tho.croops, and tho railway trains are mado up and ready to move them at a moment's notice to any point of attack. Many reports are current, and one pretty gene rally.circulated is that Parliament will be called to assemble immediately, and that the writ of habeas corak will be suspended, and martial law pro? clamad before the 17th of March. The Government has taken possession of the Mutual Tehgraph Line. The Globe calls upon President Johnson to in? terfere. It says : .'Tho people of Canada are abundantly able to pre the ruffians a warm reception, but it is a poor repayment to the Canadian Government for its ictipn during the rebellion in the Southern 8tates :o be-now co'mpellod to spend money and blood in resisting outrages planned in the States of the ?o^hboring Republic." Theeity papers this morning contain two col lrnns'of special dispatches from all parts of Cana la, giving news of military preparations, from vhlcJjit appears that every town and city is tuni? ng oat in full strength. ^-tobps wore arriving all last night from the in gaB^towns, and were billeted on the citizens. I^^P^-them woMk-hilUtfld noon allerreri TTAarT ' sBBfro Murphy. As fast as tho troops arrive they are organized nto battalions. They aro to be drilled five hours ier day. i To-day thero was a turn-out, en masse, of tho , ?tizona.to make a demonstration of strength. From til o alacrity with which tho call has been inswercd, it seems that annexation to the United States and all other differences ol' opinion suc :amb to thc dangers of tho hour. The excitement is hourly increasing. The troops aro held in readiness for immcdiato imbarkation. Volunteere get tivcntv-fivo cents and rations per lay. Tho Oranrjo Watchman of to-day says that tho fenians of this city will walk on St.' Patrick's Day, irmed with pikes and revolvers, aild it calls upon ho Mayor to prevent their walking. It is believed that tho influence of peaco-loving Catholics will restrain tho moro violent men, and hat the processions will bo abandoned. The Watchman also asserts that Bishop Lynch ?aa declared his iutention of leaving Canada to ivoid tho danger and responsibility of a battlo vhich may occur on the Irish national day. OITAWA, Friday, March 9.-Parliament has beeu sailed to meet on tho 10th of April. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will ?mme liately accedo to a Confederation with thu Janadian Provinces, and a common tariff will bo macted, to include Newfoundland, and perhaps .Vince Edward's Island. Large reinforcements will be sent out from Eng nnd immediately on the opening of navigation to neet the threatened Fenian inroads. English gunboats havo been ordered to the fish ng grounds, in view of tho abrogation of the Re uprocity treaty. The government buildings and all tho banks in )ttawa have been placod under military guard at tight. Thore has been a most enthusiastic esponse throughout Canada to the call for volun eers, and 10,000 men are already marching to vard the frontier. Arrangements have been entered into for 1 .eciprocal froo trade between Canada and the : 3ritish West Indies, and a direct mail line from ? Montreal thither is to be immediately established LATEE ACCOUNTS. TOBONTO, Friday, March 9-8 P. M.-The excite nent is unabated in the Provinces. Troops are dill pouring in from the rural districts by hun Ireds. Tho moment they arrive they aro organiz id into companies and squads for drill. So great has been tho drain upou some of thc arge business houses in the city, that they havo >eon compelled to Buspeud business during drill lours. ' News from the frontier indicates no cause for ? ho extraordinary movement, but the military au- t horitiea and the whole party approve the action , if the Government in preparing for an emergency. , ilany assert that this hubbuu is got up for politi? cal reasons to unite tho opposing factions to a 1 ense of their danger, so that the Aunexationists nay be silenced and confederation carried next nonth in Parliament. This alarm being sounded o soon after the meeting of the Governors in Montreal is significant, and the belief that the ailing out of volunteers is for this purpose, is lourly taking hold of the public mind. It is singular that no troops have been sent to < hu frontier, notwithstanding that all the military t orcos were called from beda yesterday morning ( ,t two o'clock. If thia be the real object of the . roverntnout it will probably be aucccsaful, for all lartiea seem to have forgotten their political dif- ' ereuccs, aud rally for united and determined de- 1 euee. ( HAMILTON, C. W., March 9.-From eight to ton ( houaand volunteers have responded to tho call of . ho Canadian Government. The excitement is in reaaiug and volunteers are constantly drilling, I nd hourly expect to be ordered to points on the e irontiei. i Nothing definite is known as to tho information n the possession of Government which prompted his action, but tho wildest surmises are still in iulged. Tbe feeling throughout Western Canada runs ,-ery high, and displays a determination to oppose my euemy, from whatever quarter he may come, i lt is believed that the regulars in Toronto, , Hamilton and Loudon are under orders, but no movements have yet taken place. 1 8PAIN, PERU, AND L-HILI.-The Loudon Times, < :omuienting on the uewa that Peru bas declared t var against Spain, says the Chilian fleer, has by ? ;his time been Joiuod by the Peruvian squadron, t n overt opposition to tue forces of Spain. Spain las by far the moro powerful fleet, but she ia ope- ( .ating from un enormous distance. The coat of ( he Pacinc Squadron will be ruiuous to her bank- < ?upt exchequer, and ita commanders will ba put c o extreme Bernita tor supplies. Coals, water, and jroviaiouB of ah kin Is will bo virtually out of their each, while the difficulties of thu case will he in !rea8ud by tho imp'<asil>ility of striking any deci ' live blow. The eoaat of Peru has been added td the coast of Chili, and the forces of Spain, con? siderable as the; are, moat obviously be unequal to the blockade of such a seaboard. Not only may the other States of South America cast in their lot with the belligerent Republic, but behind ail these looms the ominous figuro of the great American Union. At present the Government of the United States is honestly neutral, but an American squadron has been dispatched to the Pacific, and it is impossible to eay what complica? tions may arise from the incident's of war. The Paris Patrie says that orders had been sent to Brest to continue to watch the new Peruvian iron-clad Huesear, and at the same timo to ob? serve the movements of an English vessel, sus? pected of carrying arms and ammunition to tL.^pj Huesear. A late telegram from Brest says the captain o?p, the English vessel which had been lying in that port, laden with war stores, bad been sentenced to six days' imprisonment and fined 50 francs. The Chilian croiser Independencia had arrived at Brest from the Scheldt. MARRIED, At Gainesville, Fla., Wednesday, February 28, ls fi 5, at the residence of the bride's father, by the Rev, J. H.
