Charleston, June 5, 1S?7: General Sickles' now order, No. 32, which was promulgated on Tuesday, has not, of course, been-received very favorably by those who nre so unfortunate as to be of Anglo Saxon de scent. No very great excitement has beon, however, generated by it. . Our people have learned to bear with a wonderful equanimity, the humiliations which are heaped upon them; mid having buried their hopes of npy generous policy being adopted by thu powers that be. Congressional qr military.?tllpV evinep little surprise, as the radical programme being developed. To suffer- is now our destiny ; per haps, hereafter, a reaction will take placo, nnd wo can then bid farewell to our political aud military purgatory. On last Thursday, in the iTnited States Dis trict Court, an application for an order of in junction was filed by the Government against, the members of the firm of Johu Eraser & Co., toprovont them from disposing of any oft heir real estate, or the rents, or income' nccruhi<: therefrom. The application was predicated oil the f'nut that a, suit vis about to be institutod against them for the infringement of II. S. Customs* regulations while-blockade running during tho lute war, aud for retaining in their hands, at its ' close, funds and property belongs ing to tho Confederate. States! Judge Bryau, after hearing tho hill read by tho District At torney, granted the.application. Ex-Gov. Ma grath and Senator Campbell-have been retained by Messrs. Fraser & Co., fof the defence. The ?c?so wijl involve protracted'litigation, and will, probably, -not? be -decided -this side of the. Su premo Court. r r The business stagnation Jierc is'almost uu parallclcd fai tjic history of.-our jaty? . jfjoln paratlvcly few of-our business houses,'except ing those dealing in provisions, arc. paying ex penses, and many wi'd find'jt difficult to sus tain themselves until fall. . Humors of fail ljre.vor suspension-arc frequently circulated? some maliciously.; For instance, it was cur rently reported last week, and by mjiny* be lieved), . that the old, substantial.and Hvcaltby firm of Gco. W. Williams k Co., hauV'failcd. Mr. Williams, yesterday,- published a card denying the report, and stating that the condi tiou of his house was. secure beyond any .possi ble contingency. ^Ucports have also been iu circulation that Messrs. Willis ?.V. Chisohn. cot ton factors, had suspended. .Thcsp-also, arc entirely groundless, and tho gentlemen of the firm arc, I understand, laboring energetically My to ferret out their traducers. The Hoard of Trade, after discussing this matter last' mght, adopted uuauimously the following resolution : "That the Board of Trade ?f Charleston deprecates the tendency, to circulate reports of suspension or failures of commercial houses, based on rumors, and earnestly recommends tg the community at large great caution in'circu lating or crediting reports affecting the Well being of' commercial houses." 1 ... . ? . . t# Another cargo of eorn for distribution among tho indigent and suffering of the South is expected,, in a few days, from the North. The Government steamship "Purveyor," sailed from New York yesterday with 2!.),<lti0 bushels. About 10.(>Ul> bushels will be lauded here; the balance is to be dispensed with in GcorgjjjLiind Alabama. The distress among our people is still fearful, and Gen. Scott , of the Krecdinen's Bureau, in bis last report, stated that large Ituubors of the citizens of South Carolina, are entirely dependent upon the Government rations for the sustenance of life. - The body of a negro infant Was ftfondj-ty some fishermen floating in the harbor near one of our'wharves on Friday morning. Hav ing bocn picked up it was recognized, and-.the step-father has been arrested on the charge of,| being it? murderer. The Coroner and his jury were two days ongagod in investigating tho case, and the evidence, though entirely oircutnstan tia! adduced, sgguih to fix the guilt of tho party arrested. Two lawyers attached to tho Freed-; man's Bureau assisted the jury in their inquest. Our jail was, this morning, the scene of one awful tragedy, llughey Kern;", arrested on Monday for an outrageous assault, upon the person of a colored girl nine years of age, was -found dead in his cell, having committed sui cide by strangling himself. Ho effected this by tying his belt around hit* neck, and then aller attaching It to the knob of his door, throwing himself forward the floor-and re maining in that position un t life wasi cx.Un.'iV His power of will must have been very rb markablo, .as it is supposed that he lived at least an hour aftor beginning his suicidal ope ration. By this net he has escaped the just punishment, which, at tho hands of the law, he Would havo r'oeeived for 'his heinous out rage. I It was, my pleasing privilege thh? afternoon to attend a'public examination of the school attached to the Orphan Asylum. I was de lighted with tho discipline and order enforced by tho accomplished teachers in charge, and by the marked proficiency displayed by tho scholars', iu arithmetic, mental and written, geography, history, grammar and reading, thoy acquitted themselves very handsomely.
