There waa quite a largo meeting of ladies at the Ma non Io HaU on Monday evening. They naturally felt jubilant at the brilliant success of ihslr anniversary on Saturday last.and of course felt gratelul to the many kind friends who saw that nothing waa wanting to accom plish the desired object. It la a surprising fact that the entire display did l.ot cost the Association a dollar. A kind gentleman friend furnished lamber for the speakera' atage; other kind banda erected It. The Milli House and Charleston Hotel Livery Stables, the Nation al and Southern ExpreBB Companies, and Mesara. Ge raghty A*. Co.'a Express furnished omnibuses and wag -ona free of obarge. The South Carolina and Northeast ern Ballroad Companies fnrnlahed passengers transpor tatton, charging twenty-five centa for xousd trip, an?! giving the proceeds to the Association. Merchants oi the Bay gave twine, and Bing street furnished hoopi for wreaths ead ribbon for mourning badgee. Th ladles work with oommendable zeal, and all who ha? flowera and evergreens, gave them with a wlillngnea that challenges admiration. "Straws tell which way the wiad blows," and 11 tu display on Saturday can he taken aa a criterion for put Be sentiment, it should at least have the desired eaTec of hu shir g Into silence the few croaker a er buaybodle -to be found in all communities. It should encoureg the small herd of "thousand dollar gentleman" to g? np an association of their own, and thoa relieve thei from the unpleasant imputation that now pervade socioty. I< la tobe hoped, too. that they will be mot successful In their enterprise than were the "Oenth men's Oalboun Association." Sparks often creataa mighty flame; no it ia with ti; Ladlee' Memorial Association. Out of It branch ass? dations are forming, One to procuro aid and work fe destitute ladies and dependent widows, and one I erect a home for tho widowa and orphans of thoi brave aoldlers who fsU in onr late struggle for Ubert and self-government.

[FBOM O-B OWN f-J-BES-ONDENT.] NEW Tonn, Juno 14.-Your correspondent writes with spirits much deproisod-said depression of spirits arises from a corresponding depression in the money market not in the general money market, however, but m a most particular money market-in a personal (or a purse o-al) and private money markot, in what we may callan individual pocket oxebequor. "Moultrie," the wise, the shrowd, tho knojring, in whom tboro is no verdancy, who has over professed to be au fait In all tho mysteries of this groat metropolis, has had his pocket picked. At cloven o'clock last night, or rather between eleven and twolve, whilst standing Uko HAMLET'S father's ghOBt "upon the platform" of ono of the Third avenuo cars, tho deod waa done-done well and quickly, and wtlldono when t'waa done. How accomplished? In a manner moat refreshingly simple, thus: Correspondent's hat knocked off-hat grabbed at and captured and roplaced; hat again kuookod off in tho crowd-again captured and replacod; correspondent's hand KW-HM pocket, *___? it minua pocket boob; suspecta man next to him, but dar-? not charge him with the theft lest he be prosecuted for damages if mistaken. "Moultrie" gets off at Fourteenth-street (and thief somewhere else), and wends his way boarding house ward aadly whistling with plaintive trill .'Still io genUy o'er ma stealing," oonsoling himself, howevor, with the reflestion that the thief wiU be Bomowhat dis appointed when he examines minutely the contenta oi the porte-monnaie of a poor newspaper correspondent. Let aU take warning, and be it proclaimed far and wide from the house-tops; aye, let It be proclaimed by he ralds innumerable and trumpet-tongued, that the only way to avoid having one's pooket relieved of its burden here In this olty 1? to keep It ever Innocent of pecuniary burden, tlma-pleoes, or the like. The solea-) of pioking pockets has been raduoed to such a delicate nlooty of manipulation here of late, tbat the great mass of the people have wisely resolved to carry about with thom aa little money aa possible; and some Ingenious and enterprising son of the soil baa in vented an antl-plokpooket watch-guard, whloh la fast growing Into gonsral use. So annoh for the plckpooketa in general, and my piokpooket In partiouli_, who, If he haa over read Othello, will bear in mind the Unes, "Who steals my purse steals trash; 'Us something nothing; 'twas mine, 'tia his." Every man's parse, however, is WOT trash; par exam ple, a Southern merchant, hailing fro_ Cheater, 8. 0., wsnt through the relieving process a few nights ago, and carno forth, from tho process and from the car, minus one hundred and fifty do liars Ingold. VerUy the rogues thrive in the great En pira City. llio Health Board is getting Itself entangled In a complicated web of difficulties. In the first place, It baa got Into a beautiful atato or loggerheadlsm (if I may be allowed to coln a word on account of having had my pooket picked) with the residents of 8 taten laland, who vow and d<-dare that the oholena quarantine ground ahaU not be placed in their midst. Next, thers have been several oases brought up in court for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the Excise Law. Moanwhilo, the oholera, unmindful of all health boards, haa ?dually obtained a foothold in the city it aolf. Some people pretend to deny the fact, bat the Tribuna of to day's iaiue cites a case In fiSt/i street, where a servant girl, named SARAH KULT, died of tho pure Asiatic Cholera, on last Tueadey ntght, after an tllnoi.i of bat thlrty-ilx hours duration. The oholera, therefore, is in our midst, wherefore some people are careful In their diet, whilst others are not aspar exam ple. Your wronged and robbed correspondent partook freely this morning of a lobster salad, In the d lieu talon of the merits of which he was ably seconded and as sisted by your honored chief, the editor of the N_ws, who arrived here last trip of the good old Quaker City, and got here in tim? to oonsole poor MCUXTME, who has so unhappily fallen among thieves and evil minded men. Quite a ourlons cass was triad yesterday before the Polios Oommlasloners. One Mrs. Dr. WALKER, a sort of mau-woman and a surgeon, who bald said position with rank of Major in the Union Army, appeared on the streets In a costuma of Bloomer, the most Bloomerisb, in faot, _reasod lu that garment to waar which tba sou! of a strong-minded woman ever patt-, A crowd follow ed har, and a polloeman took her up; she was su_se< quently releaaed, and determined to take down the policeman who had taken har np, wherefore she had bim arrested, and the case was tried yesterday, and wai decided in bor favor, with an lojnnoUon to the officer ol the law not to arrest her again, at the same time Inform lug him and all interested that a lady haa a right te dress as she pleases, and even to wear the pantaloons li she oan. The remarkable rapidity with which this city improve! from day to day is most astonishing. " In many most important localities in Broadway fine buildings ar< being pulled down, to be replaced by atiU handsome) andmore valuable ones.

Th? press hare applauds Gen. BOUSSBAU for the chi tisement he administered to Mr. GBIKHR_, o' Iowa, : Washington on Monday last, and endorses and approv tho caning. When BBOOKB caned SUMNER, many years ago, with provocation oquilly as groat, ho was de nounced as a bully and a hot-headed Carolinian. Thus It is that "cases altor circumstances. " A most carious case of monoman?a has just boon brought to li ght here : a German, hailing from Hesse Darmstadt, has boon, for tomo timo past, plyiag bis trade as a barber in this city ; a fow days ago he attempted to cut the throat, instead of beard, of a cus tomer. The case is as folioWH : In tho days of his youth the Gorm an lad took a great Interest in tho stu Jy of a work on the Physiology of Racos, by CORNKMUS OSMERDKR- ; he learned from this work that "an affinity exists between certain racos of men and certain classes of animals ; that every human being bun his i double in the beast creaUon ; tbat the two possess nature and nature exactly alike," Ac, ko. Aftor this the German, in pursuing his studies, learned that by certain oxporlments mado upon tho blood of persons and animals, Important deductions could be made, wherefore he first went to work and philosophically cut tho throats of several dogs, cats, birds, ko., and next studied the profession of a barber, in order to facilitate his search for knowledgo and a little human blood. He at first contented himself with acoidontaUy (on purpose) making Uttle innocent gashes in the china and throats of his customers, but, a few days ago, made up his mind to go into tha wholeaalo department of the business, and ont a customer's throat out and out Tho customer on whom he tried tho experiment happened to bo a beardless little boy, who was about, blushingly, to take his first shave, bnt who, soon discovering what was to be tbe bloody natara of the shave, jumpod op from tho barbarous chair and fled from the shop, leaving "his hat behind him." The philosophical barber wett to the police headquarters, gave himself up. Informed the Chief Justice that ho was Insane, and desired to bo locked up in a Lunatlo Asylum. The beardless little boy went home beardless, haUeas, nnsbavon and un shorn, and will probably give np aU idea of a public ahave for some Ume yet to ooma. Hon. George A. THKN_O_M left here yesterday for Cin clnati, with a delegation of merchants of yonr city, ou tho Blue Ridge Railroad business. It Is to be hopod that success will crown these offorts in behalf of the establishment of that which cannot faU to bo productive of resulta the most highly beneficial to the Interests of Charleston. The argument as to the conaUtutkmaUty (or uncon sUtuUonality) of the Excise Law baa been going on for several dava past In the Court of Common Pleas, but no decision haa yet been given; It Is hoped, however, that one will bo rendered at an early day. Yesterday morning had been set apart for the contin uation of the examination of Col. RonxBTs (Fenian) be fore the United States Commissioner, but tho counsel on the part of the Government has abandoned proceed ings "In consequence of the intimidation of witnesses and the difficulty he had met with In procuring ovi denoe;" ho, ho woven? stated that it hi his Intention to submit the case to the action of the Grand Jury. Col. ROBSBTS was discharged, and the Fenians assembled near oheored most los lily. The Fenians are not quite dead yet, that is to say, tbey ara dead but not very dead. Thoro are still some rumors-not exactly of war but of daahing lltUe raids going on in Oanada. Never theless, the Fenians are pretty well dead after all. There no longer exista a shadow of a doubt as to tho fact that the Asiatic Cholera has obtained a foothold in thla city; four new cases were reported yesterday to the Board of Health. Where a victim Is attacked hy this dread disease, thoro are at least nine chano?M ont of tan against recovery, and death generaUy ensues in a very short Ume after the appearance of the disease. Should it spread over the olly and become regularly an ?pi d?mie, ti will be a more terrible scourge even than war Usait Still, howevax, there la hardly any alarm; few persona seam to fear it or think of it, and "li fe and gayety rule the day and hour.

He waa born at Exeter, New Hampshire, 9th October 1783, and was, con?? qnooUy, olgbty-three years of age. At the ago of seven , teen he oroased the Alloghany mountains on fsot and i settled at Marietta, Ohio, where he atudied law, and wai , subsequently elected to the Ohio Legislature, In wliicl i body he originated the bill which arrested the proceed f Inga of AARON BUBB, and gave the first blow to what ii . known aa the BUBB conspiracy. Aa a soldier, Genera ! CABS commenced his career aa a volunteer against the f indians on the frontier in 1811, and was oleoted Oolone of an Ohio regiment in the war of 1811 with Grea i Britain.

We have received the following account of an affa: ? which ocourred lately in Hoath Carolina, whioh Ula tratas the character of the despotism nnder which ti " people of that State are living. The writer is a ganU man for whose honor and veracity we will readll kt vouch : A Federal soldier was hilled at Edgefield Court Horn en tha ?th of March, under tho followingoironmitanooi o A do ta chea ont of the 6 th Regular cavalry arrived thi o morning, the first day of the spring term of tho Cou: of Common Pleas and galos day. A considerable crow ' from the country had assembled, and ?fier the adjoari "> ment of the ooart in the evening, two oit-sen?, Bou _ ware and Coleman, were ta'klng rather abova ti uaual voice on the puollo aqnare, when a drunk? 18 soldier from this cavalry detachment approaoh-i d and ordered them in a rude manner to ato u their noise. The citizens ceased their convc . gatton for some moments, as if for tho purpose i a avoiding tho soldier, and again resumed, He steppi of betweed them and pushed them apart vlolenUy, ai ,_ aaid, "If yon do not shut your mouths I will slap yo> faces, G-d d-n you," and moved on. Coleman sal 10 "Well, what are you going to slap our faces for V ai as the soldier turned, seised bim by the collar and draggy to bim a few paces, when Coleman, who had a stiff leg, f? to the ground. The soldier placed his kneo upon 0. 10 breast, having drawn his , latol and struck athis h es it Several gen?emon, among others General R. G Dunn )T vant and Dr. William Burt, approached him and begg .., the soldier not to hart tho man, as he had done no thin "* and in response he wontd brandish his pistol and si to "O-dd-n you, go away,or I will ?hoot you," and i0 course no one touched bim. Coleman, who waa still i hla back, oodeavorlDg to extricate himaelf, appealed ry the bystanders, and said, "GenUemen, will yon peru this man to murder me for nothing!" Tho soldi thereupon seised him by tho hair, raised his bead fro the ground and shot him through the back of his no4 la __% thlsjuncturo, when It was evident that he intended ?. murdor an __oc?Dt man, whom ho had so diabolically i saulted without provocation, a youno man drew his Dis to! and fired upon tho aoldlor, who J.imD"d and ron to wards the quarter* of the garrison. OdoTs? roeT am fired two or threo timca at the soldier na ho ran and the young man fired twice. No one elso fired or interfered ] Tho Boldlor foil, altor running about Rovonty five yards' l Dr. Burt tendered bia assistance, and found that ho ba boon struck but onco In tho chest, ovidoutly tho first shot of the young mon. No roslstanco or insult had been offered to any soldier of tho United Statos that day by any citizen, and everything had gonoon quietly until tilla brutal and unprovoked and unnecessary assault was made upon an unoffending citizen. Tho Bcrgeant in chargo of tho detachment of tho 26th Ohio Volun teer?! marched his moo on the square, cursed and de nounced tho people as d-d coward? and niurdorera, and threatened to ehcot any man who opened his month. Upon the clrcumataucea being explained to him after wards by Gen?. Butler und Gary, bo oxprossed hlmso f aatlaOod, and said that the soldier deserved to boro beou killed, and tho sergeant commanding tho cava'ry de tachment did likewise. The sergeant ofTorod to forward for tho information of too commanding general, a statement Betting forth the facia a? tboy occurred. Tho Btatcment was prepared Betting forth the above facts, slgnod by Oonorals Gary, Butler, Dunnovant, Dr. Win. Burl, tho derk and sheriff of tho district, and several others of the most roapootablo gentlemen in the com niuiilty who wore eye-wltnesso?, was forwarded and waa rocelved. Two or threo weeka after tble a squadron of cavalry wai sent to Fdgefleld Court House, under abarge of Major Alexander Moore, of General Sickles' ataff. General Gary and Mr. 8. B. Griffin, lawyers and gentlemen of the highest respectability, were arrested without being Informed of the charges upon which tiiey wero arrested, placed under a strict guard, and no in tercourse was allowsd them to apook with their friends, not even to speak to them. They were hurried off at Light and were made to travel all night to Columbia, placed In a loathsome, Al? y guard house, whore they learned for tho first time that they wore arrested upon tho affidavit ot a negro, a notoriously bad character, to the effect that they bad fired upon tho Federal aoldlor who was killed on the 6th of March, and encouraged others to do so, when the truth waa that Mr. Griffin was not on tho street, but In the court house, out of view, and that General Oary not only did not fire or onoourago others to do ao-for ho had no pistol or other deadly weapon upon his person-but was very Influential In allaying the exoltement whlob the outrageoua conduct of the soldier hsd created. These gentlemen wore sent from Ool-ambla to Oharleaton, placed in felon'a celia in the Charleston Jail, and were kept in this way for several daya bsfore they could be released upon parole. It Is due to Brevet Major-General Ames, who commanded the western dlstrlot of (South Carolina, embracing Edgefleld, that upon the matter being represented by gentlemen whoso vernelly and character wero unimpeachable, that he rdeaaed thom upon parole after they had been confined for soveral days In Charleston, Intending to permit them to return home, when Major Moore gavo him an order as the rep r?sent?t! vo of General Sickles, commanding the Depart ment, to forward them to Columbia. This matter hsd all been explained to Major Moore bofore ho made tho arrest, by gentlemen of the highest respectability, yet without investigation and upon the evidence of an ir responsible vagabond negro, he arrested and subjected them to the treatment of Mons and convicts. (The foregoing foots can bo established by any number of affidavits of our best citizens ) This cavalry was sent to Edgefleld, as it is alleged, to put down armed bands of bushwhackers, guerrillas, raldera, ko., who, it was said, were infeatlng the coun try. Intimidating, flogging, robbing and murdering negroes and Northern men, who were "peaceable. Bet* tier?. " They were represented to number from twenty five to two hundred and fifty, ' under the command of an ex-Bebsl Major." The facta are these : A few men bad been left in the oountry, belonging to other Statei, by the two armies, Johnston's and Sherman's, as they were paaslng through the State, irresponsive, idle and dosparate, and passlog themselves off sa horse traders from Kentucky and Tennessee, had impose! upon soma of our oltizens, sad had committed aoms outrages. There were probably not more than four or five of tbese men at any one time in Edgefleld Dlstrlot. They would paaa rapidly from one side to toe other, and were not sympathized with, or eocouragod, or harbored by our citizens, vrhoii tholr real character waa developed ; On the contrary, there waa great Indignation felt against them, and steps were In progresa by the citizens them sel ve? to drive them out or exterminate them, when this cavalry waa sent into the country. The negroes had been taught by a systematic, studied effort ou the cart of Northern omltaarlos, incendiaries and mistaken philanthropists, and by the negro troops who had been stationed among them, that their former owners wire their worst enemies, and hence they were alienated, distrustful, not unfrequently Insulting to those who were their natural ann beat friends. It is upon the evldenoe in the main of these ignorant, duped and alienated people, that this Major Moore has arrested and sent to a fdon's cell some of the very best and most lnoffendiog citizena of the country, men of known probity of character, of the highest resoectabUity, and lnnocont of any offence against the Unitod States Gov ernment, and who are Incapable of euch disgrocAful conduct as consciously harboring or encouraging any body of men banded together for toe purpose of dis turbing the peace and good order of aoolety. By the unfair ayatem of eaplonaga which he has adopted, and which ia too often adopted by the repre sentatives of the Federal Government, and which would have done credit to the Spanish inquisition, he could undermine the character of the moat respectable family in the State of New York, and convict any com munity of the most helnoua offenoes, whlob, of course, would bo Imaginary. He baa even gone further; he, in one casa at least, tied up a frtedman, stretched at full length by the arms, for four honra at a time, to extort evidence against his former master. Humanity shud ders and civilization is shocked at such conduct, and yet this ia the humanitarian representative of philan thropie radicalism rent among the Southern people to teach them mannora and morale.

June 31 OBITUARY. FELL upon tho fatal field of Beam's Station, in to? ill-planned aaiamt upon tkat point, on the 2lst of Au gnst, 1804, white struggling manfully for rl?ht and under tho firmest conviction of right, LEMUEL M PHILIPS, a private lu Company E, 16th Beglment, S O. Vo s , in tho 39th year of nia age, leaving a wife nat three young children to mourn his loas; to wait mooth after month for too lingering footatep that never carno to realise at last, in time, the hardening of their doubt! and fears for his safety Into the saddest certainty of bli death. The deceased was possessed of all those natural tralU of disposition which, giving a zent to social Intercourse form the basis of all solid and enduring friendship while In the f ?nally clr?lo they make their possessor tbi binding centre around whom all other affect ion s sprint and cluster and confidingly repose. Manly he waa, an? yet never intruding on the rights of othara; of d?licat? sensibility, and yot not inconsiderate of the fedlDga o o thors ; keenly alive to what waa noble, and upright, ant lair, and Scornful o' hat waa unjust, and mean, an? low; affectionate and > et not blind to duty. His waa, ii flam, one of those characters which seem to need bo religion to beautify and adorn; which wo naturally loci lor to glide by an easy gradation into religious cbarac ter, and which often seems to be waiting for aomo ex traordinary occasion to fuse all these amiable traita to ? lather Into elevated character, and to cast them lnt be sublimated mould of true religion. In the last dying atrngglo of a rained and rlghteou causa, that awful opportunity, so ever present on th tented field, for balancing with clear and dlapasslonat Judgment too overwhelming Importance of apiritui interests over earthly, carno to him on the battle-trroun in "the still small voice," wblch whispered of the coi s tant nearness of death, and of the necessity of prepari lion for it; and under Ita power to transform, to di vdop, to elevate, he learned to rciUss the absolute n? COBSlty of personal religion, too necessity of a confe: sion of Christ before men. That stite of a renew? mind and heart waa but preparatory to another-ti. second and saving step of the Spirit's holy work, the di termination to consecrate too remainder of lila life to tt salvation of his soul. Why he was so early called froi earth, before his newly born faith had been allowed ' prove Iteelf ay tho riper fruits of the Spirit we do n1 know, but we know that he Is safe. "Wo know that t things work together for good to them who love God, them who are the called according to hla purpose." ** 4_r BOINEST & BURKE RECETTE TH latest Mew York DAILIES e.nry aftimo ?*_, Prk? cants? statu April 41 ?iii?.-* .
