VOLUME X.-NUMBER 2228. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1873. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. OUR MEDICAL COLLEGE. AX ZXSTITUTIOX THAT OUGHT TO BE FOSTERED. Ita Condition, Prospects, Term? and Its Advantages to Sontheim Students of ? Medicine. The session o? Iba Medical College of South Carolina lor 1872-73 closed on Saturday last. The graduating students were : John Mayes, of Sumter, graduate ol pharmacy; and F. S. Minus, George's Station, B.C.; J. M. Rich? ardson, Anderson; Augustus W. Vidal, Charles? ton; U. 3. Holton, Macon. Ga.; T. M. Legare, Charleston; James Middleton, Abbeville, graduates in medicine and surgery. Some ol these bad previously studied in Ballimore, Louisville, Ky, and Augusta, which places they abandoned for Charleston, regarding the advantages here as superior to those enjoyed In the cities named. The examination, which occupied one week, was rigk' and thorough, and gave the graduates a hl/hly creditable standing. At the conclusion of tho examination on Saturday, the Hon. Henry D. Lesesne, presi? dent of the board ef trustees ol the college, addressed the graduates briefly, setting forth the requirements of medical practitioners and their relations to society. Mr. Lesesne then presented the graduates with their diplomas. : 7HS SESSION JOST ENDE.D was begun under disadvantages ol a serious nature, but proved far more successful than the /acuity had any reason to expect. The regular attendance comprised a list of over atty students trom various perts ot the Soulb. The proportion of "first course students," or beginners, was unusually larg?, lhere being only seven students wbo entered the college upon their second course cf studies, all or j whom graduated on Saturday. It ls expected that all of the first course students will return at the next session. Previous to the opening ot the last session the charge for attending the whole course ot lectures given during the session was $160, besides th,** usual fees for matriculation, anatomical demonstration and graduation. Ia view of the Impoverished con dition of tbe Southern people the faculty de? termined to abolish the chargo lor teachers, and retain only tbe fees which were necessary for defraying the expenses of the session. The; therefore announced in their aniual cir? cular, issued In September last, that the enly charges which would be made during the session would be as follows: Matriculation fee, $10; demonstrator's ticket, $10; graduation fee, $30. The effect of . THIS LIBERAL P0LICT was manifested lethe number of students who entered, and ot whom many came from the Georgia Medical College at Augusta and other Institutions tn the neighboring States. That tbs character and efficiency of the Medical College were ia no way lowered by the reduction In the expenses of tbe course, may be readily inferred from the names of the faculty, which are as follows: Dr. E. Geddlogsi Dr. B. A. Kinloch, Dr. J. P. Cbasal, Dr. Mid? dleton Michel. Dr. George E. Trescor, Pro- j fessor C. ?. Shepard, Dr. J. F. M. Geddings, Dr. P. L. Parker, Dr. F. M. Robertson, Dr. J. Ford Prloleau, Dr. F. Peyre Porcher and Dr. Manning Simons. The lectures have averaged six a day during the session, with a rtemou stratlon uf anatomy two hours loni- every afternoon. The next session of the College commences OD. ice115th of 0?tob?r, wheo it ls probable that the same liberality -and publie spirit will be displayed by the faculty as that which characterized their action during the last ses? sion. ' The advaotages offered by the College tor the luture are great and manilold. Ad? joining the College, 6a the east, Is tbe exten? sive build lng known as THE ROPER HOSPITAL, which has recently been leased by the city, and ls new in process of conversion into a branch of the City Hospital. To this building aod the old City Hospital the students will have free access, and the number ot patients that will be brought under their observation there- j In while affording examples of almost every dis? ease, will also exhibit many maladies peculiar j to the Boothera climate: "The last named is aa advantage of inestimable value to the stu? dent who expects to practice medicine in the South, and It ls one which Northern or Wes? tern oolleges cannot supply. Adjoining the City Hospital proper ls the old "Workhouse." one wing of which Is now fitting up by the city, for an Insane asylum. To this the stu? dents will also have access, and will thereby gain t ie opportunity of studying the most lamentable ol all human ailments, insanity. In tho college ls one ol the MOST VALUABLE MUSEUMS to be found lo the United Stales. Add to this that the laboratory of Prolessor Shepard, the professor of chemistry, is the best that caa be found south of Baltimore, and it will be ad? mitted that the opportunities o? direct ob servatloa within reach of the students of the College are unsurpassed. B)ard, too, can be obtained here at lower rates than In many other cities. It'behooves the trustees of the College, as well as the people of the city and State, to make every possible exertion in oehalf ol the College; the first from a sense of the Impor? tance of maintaining a Southern institution for educating Southern.physicians; the second from.motives ot personal Interest, as every BtuoVnt. who comes to Charleston spends a considerable sum, which would otberwlse be spout elsewhere. The people of the Slate should be interested In the College irom ihe fact that many young men lu various sections ot the state, who could come to Charleston io study, would be nuable to go to the North or the West for the same purpose. It would also be advisable for the Legislature to trans? fer the medical department o? the Stale Uni? versity to this College, as Columbia affords no clinical opportunities, without which no sys? tem of teaching medicine can be regarded as complete. TBE BUSINESS MEETING ' of ihe trustees of the College, for the eleciiou of faculty officers, aod for arranging the de? talla for the next session, will soon be held, after which the new annual circular will be Issued. FIRE. The alarm of fire which was sounded a little before ll o'clock yesterday morning was caused 'by the burning of a two and a half ?tory wooden dwelling on the west side ol Smith street, two doors soutl- of Yanderhorst. The fire was caused by a defective chimney, which ls supposed to have had a break lu it near the roof of the honse. The enclnes were promptly upou the ground, but unlottu nately muco valuable time was lost In search? ing lor a sufflelemi supply of waler to quench the flames. Tne whole of the root and a large part ot the second story were burnt cff. A portion of the furniture In the bouse WOB saved. There was 11000 Insurance upon the building, but nene upon ihe furniture. The ?remises were owned and occupied by Mr. C. r. Crouch. THE TURF ly AUGUSTA. A Double Victory for South Carol! Tne Augusta lovers or tbe turi are en vorlng to revive the interest In that spor which their city was distinguished in a bellum days, and on Tuesday last there quite a large attendance at the FairGrou to witness the races which had been annoi ed to take place. Among the spectators w a number of gentlemen irom the South Ci lina side ol the river, and the result of e contest wes a victory for Colonel T. G. Bat or Edgefleld, who entered lor the ?rst race fine stallion Frank Hampton, and for the cond a chestnut gelding named Ned Bri The first race was for a citizens' purse of i hundred and filty dollars, mlle beats, best i lu three. Colonel T. G. Bacon entered t Frank Hampton; T. H. Wooti entered b Jim Hinton. Hinton won the toss and ti the Inside track. In the first heat two horses got off well together and almost neck and neck, until tbe second qt ter, In which Frank Hampton gained ab bait a neck, which he improved on the ho stretch, and came under the string abou neck ahead.- Time: 1.564. In the sect heat a good start was made, and the nor kept together for some distance to the h mlle post. Then Hinton fell behind, t Frank Hampton came in lu 2.024, increas the heat and race. The second race was a mlle dash for fl dollars, the entries being Colonel T. G. '. con's ch. g. Ned Bruce, aad Colonel . Bland's ch. g. Frank Cbeaiham. The nor had a lair start, and kept close together ui the commencement of the last quarter, wt Neu Bruce forged ahead of Frank Cheatba and gradually increased the distance betwe th?ir coming under the string, at the close the mee, about five lengths ahead. Tin: I.594. The sport wound up with a quarter race I tween Tim Sullivan's bay mare and J. Jt kins's sorrel mare, which was won by t former. On Wednesday there was another ezclti; race at the Fair Grounds-a half mlle das open to ali horses, for a purse ol fifty dolla; Colonel Joe Bland entered ch. g. Frat Chealham and T. H. Wood entered ch. Champ Ferguson and F. A. Higgins enter b. g. Indiana Bull. The horses were brought up at the tap the bell, and a good start was had; but tl two cheetnnts soon ran ahead cf the bay, at kept well together tbroughout the race, whl< was finally won by Frank Cheatbam, Chan Ferguson coming In second, and Indiana Bi third. Time fifty-eight seconds. Several oth< races were made up between saddle horsi on the ground, and excited considerable ii terest, but the horses were unknown to fam and the time was not remarkable. The Augusta Constitutional 1st, of yesterda; has the lollowing notice of the contemplate reorganization of the Augusta Jockey Clul which is very suggestive of what might b done here in view of the superior facilities fe Ibis purpose that are possessed by Charleston We understand that a project ls on foot t reorganize the Angus.a Jockey Club, whicl was tn existence lu this city before the wai A number of gentlemen have already signifie* their willingness lo oecome members of lb< club, and to contribute handsomely to it treasury. From what we heard yesterday, wt have no doubt bul that the club will be succ?s: fully established. The gentlemen getting u; the club contemplate having a lacing Beasoi of a week each year, and putting up purse that will lunuce the finest-aiock lu the conn try to visit Augusta on that occasion. Colo n?l T. G. Bacou, we learn, baa assured ih gentlemen Interested tn g'tllog np Ibe dui that he knows at least twenty-one stable famous in racing circles thal will come to Au gusta each racing season,if such seasons are In ttiig'iraled under the auspices of a Jockey club It ls now too late lo gel up the races fur ihl year, but the club will be'formed and exten sive preparations made for the Benson nex vear. A mlle track, which will undoubted!] be one ot the best in ihe Soulhern country will be made at the fair grounds. It la alec contemplated, we learn, to move ihe grane stand io a locality near ihe front entrance 0 the grounds. Lovers of the turf may expeci some fine racing next year. SALT MARSH MUD. Its Great Value as a Fertiliser. The Bural Carolinian ceclains the following report of an analysis of salt marsh mud, made by Dr. W. D. Warner, the assistant of Profes? sor C. U. Shepard : The mud contained BO much water as to be semi-liquid, and was of a dark brown color when lresh. Its physical condition, when air-dry. ls lhat of a very fine and smooth pow? der. The preliminary examination of the fresh article afforded the following resulifl : p. c. Moisture, hydrostatic, L c. expelled on air drying. 52.90 Moi-ture. hygroscopic, t. e. exp lied at 212 de*. F. 10-80 Oreanlc matter, with some water of com? bination (expelled at. low red heatj. 10.62 Fixed ingredients. 25.98 Total. 100.00 Moisture forms, as ls above shown, a very large percentage of the entire weight of the fresh mud. The air-dry article contains, therefore, about double the quantity above given ot organic matter and fixed Ingredi? ents. The amount of nlirogeu In the air-?ried mud Is 0.162 p. c., which would be capable of producing, under favorable circumstances, 0.186 p. 0. of ammonia. Trie air-dry mud was subjected to the treatment with cold and con? centrated hydrochloric add, by which means nearly everything (except B?lceous matter; was dissolved: the residue being a mass of sand, discolored apparently with organic matter. Analyste of air-dry salt marsh mud by cold hydrochloric acid : p. c.

The extreme fineness of the mud, its comparative richness in organic mat? ter, the apparently ultimate union of the fore? going wlttt the "fixed Ingredients, and the valuable constituents of ...o last, all combined to render lt an admirable naiural fertilizer. But the difficulties which attend handling such wet and adhesive material, the disincli? nation of laborers to dig lt, and the large quantities which must necessarily be applied, may largely counterbalance the advantage accruing irom its use. Thal formerly, auder lavorabie conditions ol labor, lt was employed with benefit, ls a matter of experience; and It ls certainly not Impossible lhat, at least In certain localities, Its application to the old fields may be attend d with profit. It lies ut the door of every Bea-coast planter, and whether he can get any benefit from Its use, ls simply a matter ot cost In handling. -The law crace of Messrs. Richardson & Son. in Main sireet Sumter, was pan lally burned on the 27th ult. The b<;oks and papers were considerably damaged, and were in? sured for $1600, while ihe building, a irame structure, was covered by $1000 Insurance. FEEDING- THE MULTITUDE. TUE BIG SUPPER AT TUE INAUGU? RATION BALL. What the Trippers on "the Light Fan? tastic" had to Eat-Cookery as a Sci? ence Practically Demonstrated-Truf? fles, Fate de Fole Gras, Chicken Chaud et Froid, Montpelier, Credit Mobilier and Other Good Things for the Hun? gry and Patriotic Revellers. Tbe people of these great United States do not Inaugurate a President every year, and ls not surprising that extraordinary effort* were put forth to give eclat lo the ceremonia which took place in Washington on Tuesday last. That tho Inauguration ball in the eve nlng was emphatically a "big thing," may inferred from the following minute account the good things provided tor the supper which we copy from the New York Herald Sunday last : The cooking was done by Professor Torhll lon. who tor many years acteu as chef de cul sine al Dulmoolco's, and who, because of great capacity and benevolent lace, ls regal ed as the father of ihe society of cooks In thia city. His establishment on Sixth uven where ihe tupper was prepared, has, during ihe past week, presented a most curious ap peafance. Counters, tables, shelves, hooks and every available place on which anything could be laid or hung was occupied by viands of all kinds. Here was a mountain of boned turkeys, there another of pates or all kind Barrels, boxes and packages covered ihe floor, while the mighty ma?tre de cuisine strut ted about giving directions and occasionally indulging In a laugh which made the jellies and ornaments ?hake In emulation of his own cheeks. But look on this FORMIDABLE ARRA Y which bas been forwarded to Washington : 10.000 fried oysters. 8.000 scalloped oysters. 8,000 pickled oysters. 65 boned turkeys of twelve pounds each 75 roast turkeys about twelve pounds each. 160 roast capons, stuffed with 1 ruffles. 16 saddles ot multon, about one hundred pounds each. 40 pieces spiced beef, forty pounds each 200 dozen quails, larded and roasted. 100 gamo pates, fifty pounds each. 300 tongues, ornamented reith Jelly. 2C0 hams, ornamented with Jelly. 30 salmon, baked, Montpelier butter. 100 chickens chaud et Irr ki. 400 partridges (Washington style.) 25 boars' heads, sniffed and ornamented. 40 pat?;s de fole era.", ten pounds each. 2.000 head cheese sandwiches. 3.000 ham sandwiches. 3,000 beet lounuo sandwiches. 1,600 bundles celery. 30 barrels salad. 2 barrels lettuce. 350 cullens, boiled for salad. 2 OOO pounds of lobsters, boiled for salad. 6,000 eggs bolled for salad. 1 barrel of beets. 2.600 loaves ol' bread. 8,000 rolls. 24 cases Prince Alor rt crackers. 1.000 pou Dds of butter. 300 Charlotte's russes, ii pounds each. 200 moulds wine Jelly. 200 moulds blanc mange. 300 gallons Ice cream, ussorled. 200 gallons Ices, assorted. 400 pounds mixed cakes. 150 large cakes, ornamented. 60 large ?ur.milds, ussorled. 25 barrels Malaga grapes. 16 cases oranges. 5 barrels apples. 400 pounds mixed candies. 10 boxes raisins. 200 pounds shelled almonds. 300 gallons claret punch. 300 gallons coffee. 200 gallons lea. 100 gallons chocolate. THE C08T. Besides .these there were oil, vloegar, lem ons and trimmings of ail sorts. Tt may seem superfluous to send beets and boars' heads lo Washington, but they have been no trimmed up thal i hose of the human species, that might come under the genus "beal" or '-bore" could scarcely recognize mose which have passed under Torblllon's manipulation. The cost of all thin ii ia as yet difficult to de termine. For Ihe buk mi: aud prep iring alone $10.000, and tor the hire ot the dishes $5200 (with breakage and damage to be made goua have been paid. Thirty men will be engaged In arranging the tables irom this time until Tuesday uluru, and it is supposed that some 15,000 or 20,000 men and women will be occu pied a few hours In demolishing ail the tables may contain. INAUGURATION REMINISCENCES. The Story of Two or Three of These Days. "Pcrlej" writes of inauguration ceremonies to Ihe Boston Journal. He remarks thal ihe Inauguration ol Taj lor was attended with un usual pomp, and In order to accommodate the throng a temporary edifice waa erected, ad? joining ihe city ball, for a ball-room. Gene? ral Taylor was attended by his daughter Betty and her husband, Colonel Bliss, whose re? mains now repose near those of "Old Zach," near Louisville, Kentucky. She has married again. Madame de Bodisco was the belle of the evening, and looked "stunning" In her Russian court dress ol white crimson vel? vet, with a white salin underskirt and train, and a regal display ol dia? monds. When Mr. Buchanan came for? ward to present some lady friends to the President, General Taylor said: "Ah, Mr. Buchanan, you always pick om the prettiest ladles." "The truth is, Mr. President," re? plied Old Buck, cocking his head on one Bide like a parrot, "that your tasie and mme must agree in lhat respect." "Well, replied Gen? eral Taylor, "I have been BO long among In? dians and Mexicans that I hardly know how to behave my sell surrounded by so many pretty women." The beautiful banner of the Salem Taylor Club, brought on here by Captain Bar? ford, was a noticeable feature ol the decora lions of this ball, and the nu sance thereof was the dripping from the composition can? dles In the cuandeliers, which ruined many a black coat, and made more than one belle In alow-necked dress shriek as ihe melted tal? low burned her shoulder. The Pierce and the Buchanan Inauguration balls were also splen? did affairs, but controlled by the leaders of Southern soclei v. Lincoln's inauguration was a rather solemn affair, but Mr. Seward had taken personal pains to have a demonstration of Union sen? timent, and he was especially anxious lhat tbe b ill should be a success. Mrs. Line?lo, who was handsomely dressed, came Into the ball-room leaning on the arm of Senator Douglap, and followed by vice-President and Mrs. Hamlin. Mrs. Samuel A. Way, ol Bos? ton, was one of the most noticeable ladles, wearing black velvet, wilh a costly set of dia? monds, while her Bister, Mrs. Cutting, wore black velvet and pearls. Toe South was un? represented, and the sanare azul of thia dis? trict remained away. The ball on the second inauguration of Hr. Lincoln was given in Ihe halla of ihe Patent Office, Just completed, but not occupied. Mr. 8umne.r escorted Mrs. Lincoln Into the ball? room, which was crowded by a gay and fash? ionable tbrcng. General Grant at first positively deolined to attend the ball gotton up in honor of his inau? guration, but was persuaded to reconsider hts d?termination. The use of the new north wing of the Treasury was secured, and was well adapted for tbo festivities, althungb much tiouble resulted from the employment or the colored messengers as attendants in thc cloak? rooms. They received wrappioge andgave ont checks with alacrity. But whon people came later in tbe evening and presented tb ose checks it soon became evident that many of the nns sengers c juld not read figures, and the corres? ponding wrappings were not forthcoming. After fretting a while, some of tho indignant guests insisted on personally hunting up their property in thc room, and the contents of tbe pigeon boles were soon piled in heaps on the floor. When the managers were informed of trna mixing up of coats, shawls, overshoes, aad hats into a miscellaneous medley they sent one of their number to endeavor to straighten out matters; but as be was making his way up the crowded st&lroase he heard Just above bia the shrill voice of air. Greeley inquiring for "one of the d-d fools who had undertaken to man? age this affair" with BO much earnestness that the alarmed manager quietly pulled off his gorgeous badge, turned about, and left the building, gina to flee from tbe wrath to come. From what theme wbo I thu a ingloriously left behind me have since said, I do not suppose that there was ever a more angry, more dis? gusted, or more profane crowd in this city than those who had to trudge to their n?tela or their homes that cold meht without their wrappings. To this day General Chipman, who was on tne responsible Bub-committee, has not heard the last of it. and has an occasional intimation that be should replace a shawl, an opera cloak, ora great coat. The arrangements will bo more perfect at the coming ball. AMUSEMENTS. Oweni To-IVIght, aa " Solon Shingle " and "Wellington De Boots." There will be a rare treat at the Academy to-night. The great comedian, John E. Owens, appears in several of his best characters among ihem "Solon Shingle" and "Major Wellington De Boots." The drollery of both IB Irresistible, and yet it ls hard to Identify the same individual in these two parts, whlcb are as unlike ns 1 .Falstaff" and "Claude Melnotte." There is a different voice in each play, a dif? ferent face, a different laugh, a different pair of legs-In fact a different man altogether. "De Boots" ls a soldierly-looking fellow, of fine statue, six feet two In his boots, while "Solon Shingle" ts rather a small specimen of a "down-east Yankee," about five feet eight inches la height, and slender in proportion. Owens Is not simply a funny man upon the stage, he ls a humorist of a very high order. He does not content himself with the amount of humor prescribed for him In the text, but creates all the food for laughter that appears. It ls not the funny things that are said which titllates the auditory, but the iunny manner in which they are said. The company ls said to be an excellent one. Cromwell's Art Exhibition. A crowded house attended this entertain? ment, at Hibernian Hall, last evening, and, as usual, were delighted. To-night the sub? ject of the views will be "Paris as lt was, and as lt is." THE RIFLE CLUBS. Sumter Rifle Club. A large and enthusiastic meeting ot the Sumter Rifle Club was held last evening, ID Its hall on Hayne street, to consider the subject of a change In unllorm. The present uniform of the club consists of a gray blouse, trimmed with green, black or white pants, according to the season, and a black Alpine hat with green cord and tassel. The members became dissatisfied with this sober attire, and feeling that, as the spirit of the present hour called lor more striking and attractive uniforms, they could not afford to be behind hand In the march ot Improvement, they unanimously determined to surpisi all other clubs that have preceded them in action upon the sub? ject. The dress adopted is the old cadet uni? form ol Ante-bellum notoriety, which contd-ta of a double breasted B*UIIOW tall coat, with black trimming*, and three perpendicular row's of palmetto buttons upon the breast, gray pants with black stripes, and gray fatigue caps, resembling those now worn by the Pal? metto Guard Rifle Club. The officers will wear frock coat?, the trimmings ot which will be of gilt upon a black ground. It ls Bale to say that In IIB new unllorm the club will be one of the most conspicuous and pleas? ing lo the city. The uniforms, excepting the cap?; will be made up by Mr. George Cunno*. The caps will be ordered through Messrs. Johnson A Brown. The dub also unanimously accepted the Invitation of the German Rifle Club lo Jola tbssohuizen parade on the 2lat of April. The anniversary of the Samters falls upon the 13ib of April, the anniversary of the surrender of Fort Slimier to the Confederates, In 1861. lu view of Hie lact that tbe club Is composed chiefly of young men who, bel?g engaged in merchanille pursuits, would be unable lo lind lime for two parades taking place within one week ol each other, lt was deemed best to have no parade on the anni? versary of the club, but Instead to celebrate the occasion wit h a supper. Irish Rifle Club. The Irish Bille Club also held a meetlDg last evening at Hs ball, corner King and George streets, and unanimous? accepted the Invita? tion of the German Rifle club to participate In the coming Schulzen parade. The subject of giving a ball on Easter Monday night was also discussed, but no definite conclusion was reached. MUTILATED CURRENOT. As there has been of late a general inquiry regarding the value of mutilated currency, the following facts are given tor Information. They are taken from a circular of Instruction to assistant treasurers, Issued by the United Slates treasury department, on the 2d ot January, 1872, the provisions of which are still in force: Defaced aod mutilated fractional and legal tender notes, eacn equalling or exceeding by lace measurement ttiree-flfths o? Its original proportions in one piece, will, if In such a condition that their genuineness can be clear? ly ascertained, be redeemed at the full face value of whole notes, in new noies or cur? rency, by the treasurer, the several assistant treasurers, and designated depositaries of the United Slates, and all national banks desig? nated as depositaries. Fragments constituting less than three-fifths of the original note will be redeemed only at the Uulted Slates treasury In Washington uoder the following conditions: Fragments of legal-tender notes aod frac? tional currency, constituting less than half of the original proportions ol ibe notes, will be redeemed only when accompauled by affidavit that the missing portions of the notes have been totally destroyed. The affidavit must state the cause and manner of the mutilation, nod the character of the afflint moat be certi? fied to be good by a maglftrate or other public oflicer. When accompanied by satislactorv proot, such fragments will be redeemed lor the full lace value of the noteB of which they arti part. Fragments, eaoh loss than one-half, but tc gether purporting to constitute more than one-half of a note, will be redeemed only when lt shall appear, either from tue fragments themselves or by affldavlt made in conformity lo the foregoing paragraph, that they are act? ually paris of one original note. Eollro pieces, constituting half or more than hall, but less than three-fllihs of notes, will be redeemed for but half of the full face value ot thenoies, except when accompauled by an affldavlt made in conformity to paragrah 1. Half notes that huvo been punched will in no case be redeemed. Counterfeit noies will be branded and re? turned. Unredeemed lragraenis lesa than half will be retained. Fractional currency before being presented for redemption should be sorted out Into the diff?rent Issues, and the issues resorted into denominations, and each parcel should be bound together with a strip of paper and labelled In Ink with the name of the owner. -A disease resembling the delunct "epizoo? tic" Is spreading amoug the people of Sumter; five persons having already fallen victims toit. A PINIONED PEOPLE. BLOODSHED IN LOUISIANA-GRANT'S INFAMOUS FLEDGE FULFILLED. Serious Collision In tho Streets af New Orleans-The Bogus Government Sus tain ed by Federal Bayonets-The Real Legislature Dispersed and its Officers Under Arrest-The Correspondence, dec. NEW OP.LEARS, March 6. Quite a lively fight bei wee ? the McEaery militia and the Kellogg police has oocurred. For five minutes there was a sharp musketry discharge, when the police unlimbered their cannon and fired three shots down Charles street. The militia retreat ci, but were being strongly reinforced, when a etan" officer ot General Emery appeared on the scene, to whom the commander ol the militia Immedi? ately surrendered, in obedience to the follow? ing dispatch: WASHINGTON, D. C . March 6,1873. To General w. H. Emery, Commanding : The President desires you lo preveut any violent Interference with the 8 ta te Govern? ment of Louisiana.' Acknowledge receipt. (Signed) W. T. fcc ER M AX, General. In the skirmish one person was killed and several wounded. It Is understood that Gov? ernor McEaery disavows having ordered the demonstration against Ihe police. Another Account. Nsw ORLEANS, March 6. A collision occurred inls morning between the militia and the police. Tne police seemed to be getliog the belter ot ihe bailie, when the militia opened Are upon them Irom two pieces of artillery, killing one man and wound? ing a great many. Finally, the commander of ihe militia, General Waggemao, surrendered, In obedience io an imperative order from General Sherman. The Dulled Staiee troops now occupy Jackson Square and other points in the city, and will no oouot prevent further trouble. A company of United Stales cavalry, at 1 P. M., passed up Camp street to General Emery's headquarters, but soon relumed to Jackson Square. They were then held to as? sist the police In prevenilog any further at? tack. After 1 P. M. the streets were almost deserted. A compromise ls now regarded as out of the question. Tbc Latest. NEW ORLEANS, March 6. The following correspondence explains it? self, and shows that the mastery of the situa? tion rests with the Federal forces : EXECUTIVE OFFICE, > NEW ORLEANS. March 6, 1873. j Major-tknerhl Emery, Commanding Depart? ment of the Gulf: GENERAL-I have the honor to submit to you ihe inquiry whether or not the action of the Metropolitan police loree of ibis city, In the seizure of the Odd Fellows' Hall this morning, and ihe armed prevention by said force of ibe assemoly of the Legislature of this Slate In the said hall, meets with your countenance and approval; and wnether or not ihe United Slates forces under your com? mand will support thia armed occupation of the building.

THE CONDUCT OF SENATOR SMALLS. A Plain Statement of the Fact? of the Inauguration Trip Failure, from Cap? tain H. C. Mtnott. 10 THE EbirOrtS OF TOE NEWS. Allow me space la your valuable columns to make a few statements In regard to our expected trip to Washington. Well do the public remember that the com? panies comprising the First Regiment N. G., S. S. G., were ordered out lor parade, Inspec? tion and drill, and tho company or companies that proved most proficient In the duties re? quired would be sent to Washington. The Carolina Light Infantry was chosen as one company to go. After the selection, General bmaila said there was some money collected In Columbia, lo the amount of eight hundred dollars ($800,) but he was sure he could raise the necessary amount to take tba companies to Washington; but the money was only for the rouna trip, and If the companies went they must suppurt themselves. I believe botb companies were coniented wltn these remarks. I was advised lo go to Co? lumbia and did so. I met Captain Anson and asked what the General was doing for the companies. He said the monty was all right, and ibe same gentleman Informed metbat there was tv list out to solicit money that would pay our Incidental expenses going to and returning from Washington, and that was the only Hst out, and lt was for that purpose. On that list General Smalls collected one hun? dred and seventy-five dollars ($175.) But I don't think there was two hundred dollars ($200) collected lo all at that time, which was of course not sufficient for the trip. Alter wards, however, General Smalls collected one hundred dollars ($100) more, and that was turned over to me. I then, for the first time, learned lrom the General that three thousand dollars was secured fur our transportation. I worked with ihe Hst to oollect all I could, until I saw the telegram sent lo General Smalls in Columbia lrom Captain Artaon. I asked tb 3 General what he was to do. and he said go by the Charlotta or Wilmington Railroad. After fifteen or twenty minutes he came to me and said be would noi go as we could nut make arrangements with either Railroad Company; and now be says in his card that I knew all about it, whereas I knew nothing more thau what he had told me, and be only mentions one railroad in the oard be has published, while he told me be could not perlect arrangements with ,'eltber the Charlotte or Wilmington Roads. 1 then gave up all bopeB lu Columbia, and started that night for Charleston. My men being ac? quainted wilh the laois, asked to see General smalls and find out if he would charter a boat to take us to Wilmington, where we could take the cars. The gentlemen who went with meto General Smalls were Captain Artaon, Lieutenant Williams and others. We saw the General and the question was asked, but he thought we could not get a boat, but ii we could lt would be all right, as he had the money. I and several others went lo search ora boat, but could not get one. At iast we made arrangements with the South Carolina Railroad, and Mr. B. S. Solomons agreed to turulsh cars to Wilmington tor our accommodation lrom Columbia, which was highly appreciated by us. President Bavenel, of the Northeastern Railroad. Superintendent Tyler, of the South Carolina Railroad, and Mr. S. 8. Solomons, agent of the Northeastern Railroad, did all fur our accommodation, and we are much obliged for their kindness. As soon as arrangements were made I sent to in? form General Smalls ot the Bame, whereupon he requested that I would call on bim, aa he wished to see me about the matter. I at once ! complied with bis request, and In company with Captain Artson, Lieutenant William? and otners, met the general in Meeting sireel, where I told bim that all arrangements had been completed, as above mentioned, to which he replied: "That le all right then. Send out and muBter your meo, aa we will start lor Colu nbla on the night train." Later In the afternoon I again met the general at Military Hall, when he asked me what would be the charges from Columbia to Wilmington, and '.vbal from Wilmington to Washington ? I replied that the excursion trip from Columbia to Washing? ton would only be $28. He then said : "That will be all right; get ready." At six o'clock, when a portion ut my company were in uni? form and we were almost ready to start for the depot, I met the general vg ilu, and he told me he could not get an answer from General Purvis, and that "things looked fishy," but that he had "money enough to take my com? pany to Columbia," where he would see Gov? ernor Moses, and try to make all lurther ar? rangements necessary to the trip. I then marched my company to ihe depot, and there awaited the arrival of the general, but he failed to make lils appearance, and finding that uo tickets bad been purchased fur us, we were compelled to abandon tne trip. Such ls a plain Btatement < f the facts of this oase, and il Is lor the public to decide whether the general's labored and Ingenious defence may be regarded as satisfactory, or the con? trary, when viewed by the lights thus placed before them. As to the money I collected for the use of my company, the general may rest assured ibat they have lt, und that guod use will be made of lt. H. 0. MINUIT, Captain Carolina Light Iufantrv.
