We find that tho poet was right, when he said,
"'Tis pleasant, sure, to soe one's name in print."
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. Wc Lavo uttemptod, on several occasions,
bo forestall such complaints, but fear wo have not
yet satisfied all parties.
We will mention a few signs that have been
brought to our attention, and we hopo that if, in

unfortunate as to pass by any more,-the parties
will not feel aggrieved, but send a note ar eard to

Two negro children atc now on exhibition at

nm of slave parents in Anson County. The
landard speaks of them as follows: "The connee

iamose twins, there being more of the physical
ud mental organs common to each. The connec
on begins below the neck and terminates at tho
xtremity of the spine. To touch one at any point
f her body below the connection sends a sensa

somo romarks, touching the merits of the peti?
tion. 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.

T. Tiencken. * i

deaths during 1865, 2061. Of theao 281 were malo t
whites, 278 female whites; male blacks and colored, \
721; female blacks and colorod, 780.
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

the armories, and patrols kept moving through
tho city ail night. va*
Everyvpreparation is being, made to guard

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.

ntirely removed from the level of the mere eeitrusu ot

irofesa to ba. They are not advertised te cure overy

lleviatlon and ultimate healing of many of the moat
ommon Infirmities of the body^abdihl* they iB
ccompliah. I had been unwell for two month*, as
