THE WEATHER.-We havo been suffering under the | weather, which wo arc now enduring, for a period of ] about twenty-four days; and although we have appealed [ to the Clerk of tho Weather ?D the most affecting terms, on more than ono occasion, and growled unceasingly, still there is no change for the better. We have, conse? quently, determined to stop our efforts, and merely note that on yesterday, bet-ccn D and ll A. M., we had a little variety, in the way of several flashes of lightning and sundry peals of thunder. AT AK ELECTION held yesterday, tho 2d instant, the I following gentlemen were elected Commissioners of ? Cross Hoads for Charleston Neck : HENRY BOYESTON, C. V. CHAMBERLAIN, CHARLES FOSTER, J. C. BRADLEY. Dr. J. B. PATRICK. JOHN CHRISTOPHER, Marshal. T7SF08TC3UXE OccrmtExcn.- Wc aro informed by Francis Lopez, that on Thursday last. George Rent and John Patrick, two colored fishermen, proceeded to Folly Island to pick oysters; and having reached there and ob? tained a supply, prepared to return to the city al low water, which prevented their passing over what is known as the Flats, and they therefore took the passage around Fcc Sumter, which is always considered as dangerous for ?mall boats. It was in that neighborhood they were seen last, and as nothing has been heard ot them since, fears are certainly entertained that they were drowned while attempting to get through that rough point of wa? ter. MAYOR'S COCBT.-There was nothing yesterday before his Honor, but a few cases of persons selling liquor on New Year's day, contrary to orders issued. Some were fined, but others were excused, under mitigating cir? cumstances. The dilapidated appearance of tho Court-room is cer? tainly a cause of much regret, and we hope that among the first efforts of Council, after having realized suffi? cient means, will be the repair of thc guard-house, so that the police, who have arduous duties to perform in the streets, may be made comfortable while ic-doors, and the furnishing and fitling up of tho Mayor's Court? room in a neat and respectable manner. A COMPLIMENT.-Col. Goms, the Chief Judge of thc Provost Court, having by his ability, impartiality and general kindness, won thc esteem and high respect of his associates, the latter gentlemen decided to present him with a proper testimonial of their regard, and hav? ing purchased a beautiful ?mbossed silver goblet, sc- j lected last New Year's day as a proper time for tho be-1 stowal of it While no set speeches wh'.-re made, the oe- 1 casion was an interesting ono, as what was said on both Bides came from the heart, and previovs fri eu lship was rendered closer and firmer by the little ceremony which had taken place. The goblet is of very pretty design and finish, and bears upon it tho following inscription : "To Col J. P. S. GODIN From bis Associate Judges of the Provost Court, Charleston, S. C.-1st January, 1866." HIBEB5IAX HALL.-The exhibition of Mr. SEAEL, on Monday night list, at this building, was well attended, considering the state of the night, which, as usual, was damp and disagreeable in thc utmost. The presence of ! the Orphan Children upon tho occasion, was an addition? al attraction, and appeared to bc so to the audience, who were as much pleased at the dtUght exhibited by the Uttle creatures, as by the experiments of the Professor, whose feats of legerdemain were of a simple --^tind, and were performed, it seemed to us, for their amusement principally. And wo arc satisfied that no one present would have had it otherwise, or wished, for a moment, to have postponed thc gratification of the children for their own. but would, with us, compliment Mr. SEABX upon his kind-heartedness. His ventriloquia! efforts were unsurpassable, while h;s conversations with imaginary persons were conducted with an irresistible, comicality, and a regard to politeness, that we would wish to have seen observed by some other performers who have visited Charleston in former days. Being nicch pleased with the whole affair, we deem it a duty to record it. THE PEOPLE OB DE LORD.-Early on Monday morn? ing we overheard two venerable maumas discuss the prospects of the weather for tho day. "Didn't I tell you it was gwino to clear up to-day ; de Lord luvs he people, and I Inowedhe was g wine to give us good weather." "O we is a great people, shure." THE LADT, that is mistress of thc culinary arrange? ments of our establishment, usually staid and steady cnough, on Monday took tho prevailing Cx-Barbecue Procession-Race-courso mania, and well provided with cake, fruit, and tho various etceteras, wherewith to have | i a jolly time for herself and friends, set out for the I promised land, bright and carly; and did not got back ; ' Until about 8 P. M., in a temper most crabbe!, and au ? appeti'e, perfectly wolfish. To our inquiries, as to how . she spent tho day, etc., she doggedly refused to give any I reply, preserving a sullen, gloomy, lowering attitr le of ] contemplation. The only ?leam of light vouchsa. .-d lo!, us in this mysterious obscurity, was tl.c fragment ot a . i soliloquy: "And jes tink, eblx ry one nb us had to pay dollar for marching, au den >a dar de whole day. au jet i nuffin to eat. I didn't caro nulSn 'bout clem speechify- 1 ? ings." j i Cr.iMK rx AUGUSTA. 0A. -Our n"ighb,or. on the other j. side cf the Savannah, seems to be in a bad way. In the [ OotuiitHtionalUt, of the 28th ult, we sec an announce- ? ( ment of the murder of a worthy young citizen of that I .place. Mr. EDOAK CAHMICIIAKL. This foid crime wadi, committed by parties unknown, at his father's store, near j ' Augusta. Mr. C. was a young man of great promise; ha d i 1 bravely fought through the wai-, aid is deeply lamented | by thc entire community. I ' On Christmas day there was a great row in QUs-strcct, I Augusta, between one or two citizens and several color- j ed soldiers, who apparently were intoxicated. Th- whole ;1 affair arose from a mero trille. Fortunately no one was ! injured, though the affair threatened to become very se- . 1 rious. Tin- guard came up very opportunely, and two of i the negroes were arrested. ! On thc 23d ult. the residence of Mr. M. P. STOVAL, on ' Telfalr-street, was burglariously entered, with a view to j robber;.-. But thc parties being interupted in their pro- j ccedings, tool; to flight, lirst sending a few Parthian shots j at tho authors of this unseasonable interruption. SIINSIULI: ADVICE.-They have had a greet freedman's j meeting at Memphis. The crowd was addressed by two officers of the Freedmen's Bureau at that place. The speakers advised their hearers, by all mean.-, to at once mate contracts for theconiillg year, that tiley might have happy and comfortable homes, and warned (hem against those designing pers ns who would wish them to do otherwise. At the completion if tin' addresses, the freed? men, to a man, almost expressed their willingness and even anxiety to have their contracts made out at once. Wo would urge upon the ireedineu in this section to follow the some plan. Let every freedman select whom he will have for a muster the coming year, and make a contract with him immediately.

M. [The consideration of the several bills for raising rcve I nue for the city clicked considerable discussion. ? THE PEOVOST COCT.T.-In search of something of local Interest, we yesterday bent our courso to Chalmors street, and entered thc U. S. District Court House. The windows of heaven were open at thc time, and tho rain fell in torrents. The building seems to be sadly out of | repair, and if our learned City Registrar would put up his pluvial guage in thc hall of the Court House, he could register tho fertilizing shower by inches every j day. Themis seemed totally submerged. They who coma here for justice, must wade through deep waters; but, nothing daunted, we ascended the temple, and found the Court sitting up stairs-composed of Judgo GOBIN, and Assessors DETREYILLE and DUNKIN. Around thc room wo saw, dripping and uncomfortably damp, a cloud of witnesses, etc. It looked a most unhomeUke abode for thc golden-aged Astraea. The case on trial at the timo of our advent, was in re Michael Smith vs. Isaac Jefferson, colored. Tho said Isaac was a dr.vcr, lately in the employment of plain tin", who keeps a livery stable. The charge was, that defendant being intoxicated, through his carelessness smashed a carriage for Mr. Smith, and was tho cause of tho disappearance of one of the cushions. A witness confirmed this statement. Tho amount sued for is some ll or 12 dollars. Decision of thc Court reserved for another time. The next case ca the docket, was George Johnson rs. James Singleton, both parties colored. George is thc keeper of a restaurant, bar room, etc . in Hasel st., near the Postoffice, and deposed, that on New Year's day, in thc morning, as thc procession was pasting up, tho defendant came to his establishment with three or j four friends, asking for something to drink. [Though wet outside, it appears Jimmy was dry within ] George told him ho could not have anything, as tho bar was closed. "If I was a whito man you would givo it to me," replied James. "No," said George, "for it is a military order, and cannot bo violated." Jami's then shook his fist and used words he did not leam in the Sunday school. George told him he had bettor go and make nu fuss; his "friends" then left all but one; and John Mattias, one of the barkeepers, a weakly youth of color, then made some pacificatory remarks, Upon Which James assumed a belligerent altitude: but George stepped in at thc nick of time, and suggested, as j he was the proprietor, if then is any fighting to be done he was the man to do if. James took him at his word and collared him ; when George went off and called the police, who arrested this infractor of thc colored peace. Thc Court asked the defendant if he had any questions to ask of thc plaintiff or witness; ho said, "Yes;" got up, and propounded several interrogatories, and conducted tho cross-examination with tho utmost sangfroid. When asked what he had to say, he said "Nothing," and plead guilty to thc soft impeachment; but, in ex? tenuation, remarked that he had been "somewhat in liquor." The Court then gave its decision, saying that, inasmuch as this assault occurred on tho occasion of tho Great Celebration, the Court would be lenient; but here? after aU such cases would be punished with tho utmost ] rigor. "Drunkenness must bo specially discountenanced and punished." Tlte Court would therefore only Uno him $5 and to pay costs. Defendant seemed prepared for such a verdict, for he whipped out his pocket-book on the instant, with thc utmost nonchalance, and paid down his money, as much as to say, D- the expense, tire away if you like. At this point five or six colored gentlemen left the Court-room-thc witnesses of thc case just reported. The next case called up, was a colored individual, of a most villanous face, costume, and general appearance. Ho looked tho very image of a sheep-stcaler. The charge igaiust him was stealing some geese. He avowed stout? ly, however, that it waa a mistake; that ho never stolo anything in his life,-that said geese were handed to him ?ivor the fence, by another colored gentleman, etc. Wit? nesses not being present, caso was deferred. Thc Court evidently did not think this was a day for a gooso ques? tion, though wc (Ignorant of tho law) would have thought it just the sort of weather for all sortB of aquatic fowl. Another wo-bogono individual, on whom "charcoal J would have mad? a white mark," was next called up,_ :harged with stealing a pair of shoes. Also a mistake, L-tc. No witnesses present-case deferred.
