There was quite a large meeting of ladies at tho Ma? sonic Hall on Monday evening. They naturally felt jubilant at th? brilliant success of their anniversary oh Saturday last, and of course felt gratetul to the many kind friends Who saw that nothing -nae wanting to accom? plish the desired object. It is a surprising fact that the entire display did i ot cost the Association a dollar. A kind gentlemm friend lurniehod lumber for the speakers' stage; other kind hands ereottd it. The Milln House and Charleston Hotel Livery Stables, the Nation? al and Southern Express Companies, and Messrs. Ge? raghty A Co.'a Express furnished omnibuses and wag? ons free of obarge. The South Carolina and Northeast? ern Railroad Companies furnished passengers transpor ..tatton, charging twenty-five cents for round trip, and -'. giving the proceeds to the Association. Merchants on the Bay gare twine, and King street furnished hoops '.. A for wreathe and ribbon for mourning badges. The ladies work with commendable seal, and all who had .-flowers and evergreens, gave them with a wlMngnais that challenges admiration. "Straws tell which way the wind blows," and if the display on Saturday can be taken as a orlterlon for pub Uo sentiment, lt should at least have the desired effect .of hushing Into "silence the few croakers sr busybodies to be fourd in aU communities. It should encourage the small iaerd of "thousand dollar gentleman" to get up un association of their own, and thus relieve them from the unpleasant imputation that now pervades society. I. is tobe hoped, too, that they will be more successful in tbelr enterprise than were the "Gentle? men's Calhoun Association." Sparks often creatoa mighty fiasse; so it ls with the Ladies' Memorial Association. Out of it branch asso? ciations are iorming. One to prooure aid and work for destitute ladies and dependent widows, and one to erect a home for the widows and orphans of those bravo soldiers who fell in our late struggle for liberty and self -government. The toll and labor of love that are apparent to those who undertake such kind offices can only be appreciated when the magnitude of those various enterprises are complete. Then will they shine as brilliants in woman's crown of loveliness; yes, they will shine with refulgent splendor, and will remain an - enduring monument to woman's love. GOREY. .. ?

"Moultrie" gets off at Fourteenth-street (and thief somewhere else), and wends his way boarding-house ward sadly ! whistling with plaintive trill "Still so gently o'er me steeling," consoling himself, however, with the reflexion that the thief will be somewhat dis? appointed when he examines minutely the contents of the porte-monnaie of a poor newspaper correspondent. Let all take warning, and be lt proclaimed far and wide j from the house-tops; aye, let it be proclaimed by he? ralds innumerable and trampet-tongued, that the only way to avoid having one's pooket relieved of its barden here in this city is to keep lt ever innocent of pecuniary barden, tbne-pleoes, or the like. The seien se of pleklng pockets bas been reduoed to such a delicate niosty of manipulation here of late, Chat the great mass of the people have wisely resolved to carry about with them as little money as possible; end some ingenious and enterprising son of the soil has In? vented an anti-piokpooket watch-guard, whioh 1B fast growing into general use. So much for the pickpockets in general, and my pickpocket in particular, who, if he has ever read Othello, will bear in mind the Unas, "Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something nothing; 'twas mine, 'Us his."

Verily the rogues thrive in the great EnplreOity. The Health Board is getting itself entangled in a complicated web of difficulties, In the first place, it has got into a beautiful state of loggerheadiam (if I may be allow*d to coin a word on ascoant of having had my pooket pioked) with the residents of Staten Island,.who vow and declare that the oholera quarantine ground shall not be placed in their midst. Next, there have been several oases brought up in court for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the Excise Law. .' Meanwhile, the oholera, unmindful of all health boards, has actually obtained a foothold in the city It? self. Some people pretend to deny the fact, but the r' favdsy's issue cit?s a case In 0Sth street, ff here a servsnt girl, namoa hA&?-?Ai&-*;yttiA ^ |h0i pure Asisti?

Tour wronged and robbed correspondent partook freely this morning of a lobster salad, in the disouasion of the merits of which he was ably seconded aud as? sisted by your honored chief, the editor of tho NBWB, who arrived here last trip of the good old Quaker City, and got here in time to oonsole poor MOULTRIE, who has BO unhappily fallen among thieves and evil minded men. Quite a ourlons case was tried yesterday before the Police Commissioners. One Mrs. Br. WALKER, a sort of man-woman and a surgeon, who hold said posltien w.'.th rank of Major in the Union Army, appeared on the streets in a costume of Bloomer, the most Bloomerisb, in faot, dressed in that garment to wear whioh the soul of a strong-minded woman ever pantt. A crowd follow? ed her, and a policeman' took her up; she was subse? quently released, and determined to take down the policeman who had taken her up, wherefore she had him arrested, and the case was tried yesterday, and was decided in her favor, with an injunction to the offloer of the law not to arrest her again, at the same time inform? ing him and all interested that a lady has a right to dress as she pleases, and oven to wear tho pantaloons if she eau. The remarkable rapidity with which this city improves from day to day is most astonishing. In many most important localities in Broadway fine buildings are being pulled down, to be replaced by still handsomer and more valuable ones. Onward in the march of im? provement thus goes this great city with rapid strides_ magnificent buildings springing up everywhere; busi? ness ever flourishing, ever increasing ; and thus is this magnificent city going onward aLd onward in the race for supremaoy against its only rival, the French capital. The theatres are doing each a good business. Joan BROUGHAM at the Winter Garden; DAN BRYANT at Wal? laces; the BATELB at Niblo's; Mrs. JOHN Woos at the Olympio, ia "Our Mutual Friend."

The work 1B entitled the Prison Life af Jeff treen Davis, and is a faith? ful account thereof, written by the physician of the Il? lustrious prisoner, Brevet Lieut. Col. J. J. CRAVEN, late Surgeon U.S. Volunteers. The style of the volume is similar to that written by the medioal attendant of NA? POLEON BONAPARTE during the captivity of this great chieftain, and as the one made the Immortal French? man stiU^more immortal, so will this immortalize the great though fallen American Southern patriot. As England cast an indelible stain npon her escutcheon by the disgraceful treatment of her noble captive, so has our Government cast a blot upon its honor and its history in the Inexcusable and inhunim act of placing heavy manacles on the great Southern chieftain, and heaping upon him uncalled-for indignities, tho Infliction of which wiU forever disgrace the names of SEWARD and STANTON. NO Southern man can road this portion of Dr. CRAVEN'S diary without feeling the tears of pity and indignation, well up from his heart; no American can peruse it without feeling ashamed that the authorities representing his Government could stoop so low as to inflict this slow torture and terrible indignity on one poor, weak old man, and yet so noble and BO great. The work will be read with the most intense interest by the world at large, and as I feel confident that you will furnish your readers with lengthy extracts, I need make no further comment, indeed, I dare not trust myself to do so, lest I should overstep the bounds ot' military law. The press here applauds Gen. ROUSSEAU for the chas? tisement he administered to Mr. GRINNELL, of Iowa, iu Washington oa Monday last, and endorses and approves 't?'|.v?an?ng; . When BBOTp^ah^'SuMNEB, many years P^s^r'^Vnea^^i?il>^;M S16?*? he was de ^O^fcea'BrB bhily and a hot-headed Carolinian. Thus is that "cases ait?t' circumstances." V ? most curious case of^nVonornania has just been I brought to light here: a ? orman failing from Hesse .Darmstadt, has been, for' Sollie mne past, plyiDg his trade as a barber in thia, city Jp few days ago he | attempted tocnt the thro?'t,'?nstefa of beard, of a cus? tomer. The oase is as follows : In the days of his youth the derra an lad took a great Interest in the study of a work on the Physiology of Baces, by COBNBLIDS OSMBRBEBO ; he learned from this work that "an affinity exists between certain races of men and certain classes of animals ; that every human being has his double in the beast creation ; that the two possess nature and nature exactly alike," &o" &o. After this the German, in pursuing his ?tudies, learned that by certain experiments made upon the blood of persons and animals, important deductions could be made, wherefore he first went to work and philosophically out the throats of several dogs, oats, birds, Ac, and next studied the profession of a barber, hi order to facilitate his search for knowledge and a little human blood. He at first contented himself '.'^th accidentally (on purpose) making little innocent gashes in the chins and throats I of his customers, but, a few days ago, made np his mind | togo int) the wholesale department of the business, and cnt a customer's throat out and oui The customer on whom he tried the experiment happened to be a beardless little boy, who wes about, blushingly, to take his first shave, but who, soon discovering what was to be the bloody nature of the shave, jumped np from the barbarous chair and fled from the shop, leaving "his hat behind him." The philosophical barber wet.t to the police headquarters, gave himself up, informed the Chief Justice that he was insane, and desired to be looked np ia a Lunatlo Asylum. The beardless little boy went home beardless, hatless, unshaven and un? shorn, and will probably give np all idea of a publio | shave for some Mme yet yo come. Hon. George A. Twsn?oui left here yesterday for Oin olnati, with a delegation of merchants of your city, on I the Bine Ridge Railroad business. It is to be hoped that success will crown these efforts in behalf of the establishment ofthat whloh cannot fail to be productive of results the most highly benefloial to the interests of j Charleston. The argument as to the constitutionality (or uncon? stitutionality) of the Excise Law has been going on for j several days past in the Court of Common Pleas, but | no decision has yet been given; it is hoped, however, that one will be rendered at an early day, Yesterday morning had been set apart for the contin? uation of the examination of Ooh ROBBBTS (Fenian) be? fore the United States Commissioner, but the 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 la procuring evi? dence;" he, however, stated that it is his intention to | submit the oase to the action of the Grand Jury. Col. ROBBBTS was discharged, and the Fenians assembled I near cheered inoBt lustily. The Fenians are not quite dead.yet, that is to say, tuoy are dead but not very dead. There are still some rumors-not exactly of war but of dashing little raids going on in Canada. Never? theless, the Fenians are pretty well dead after all. There no longer exists a shadow of a doubt as to the fact that the Asiatic Cholera has obtained a foothold hi this city; four new oases were reported yesterday to the faW?i^?^tiPviMttl^a by thia dread disease, there are at least maute^i^,^ against recovery, and death generally ensues in a very short time after the appearance of the disease. Should it spread over the olty and become regularly an epi? demic lt will be a more terrible scourge even than war itself. Still, however, t*iero is hardly any alarm; few persons seem to fear it or think of lt, and Ufe and gayety rule the day and hour.

General LEWIS OASS, very aged, and for some year? very infirm, departed this life, at his residence in De? troit, Sunday morning last. He was born at Exeter, Now Hampshire, 9th October 1783, and was, conse? quently, eighty-three years of ago. At the ago of seven? teen he crossed the Alleghany mountains on foot and settled at Marietta, Ohio, where he studied law, and was j subsequently elected to tho Ohio Legislature, in whloh body he originated the bill which arrested the proceed? ings of AARON BUBB, and gave the first blow to what is known as the BURR conspiracy. As a soldier, General CASS commenced his career as a volunteer against tho Indians on the frontier in 1811, and was eleoted Colonel of an Ohio regiment in the war of 1813 with Great Britain. He urged the invasion of Canada, and was tho author of tho proclamation of that event. After tho surrender of Detroit ho was made a Colonel in tho regu? lar army, and finally a Brigadier-General, and served in the battle of the Thames on the staff of Genoral HARRI SON. He was, la 1813, appointed Govornor of Michigan Territory by President MAP ISON. He hold this position for eighteen months, when General JACKSON made him Secretary of War, and subsequently minister to France. Bei urning home, he was chosen Senator from Michigan Ul 18*5, but resigned on being nominated tho Demo? cratic candidate for the Presidency in 1848. Having been defeated, he was, the foUowing year, again ohoaen Senator, and continued in that position till he finally | retired from pubUo Ufo. RepublicanJGovci-itment In South Caro? lina. [from the Baltimore Gazette of June 18.] We har? received the following account of an affair j which occurred lately in South Carolina, whloh illus? trates the oharacter of the despotism under whioh the people of that State are living. The writer is a gentle? man for whose honor and yeraoity we will readily vouch : A Federal soldier waa killed at Edgefleld Court House on the 5th of March, under the following circumstances: A detachment of the 5th Regular cavalry arrived that morning, the first day of the spring term of the Court of Common Pleas and sales day. A considerable orowd from the country had assembled, and niter the adjourn? ment ol the court in the evening, two citizens, Boul ware and Coleman, were ta'king rather above the usual voioe on the puolic square, when a drunken soldier from thia cavalry detachment approached, and ordered them in a rude manner to atop their noise. The citizens ceased their conver? sation for some moments, as if for tho purpose of avoiding the soldier, and again resumed. He stepped betwoed them and pushed them apart violently, and said, "If you do not shut your mouths I will slap your faces, Q-d d-n you," and moved on. Coleman said, "Well, what are you going to slap our faces for?" and the soldier turned, seized him by the collar and dragged him a lev. paces, when Coleman, who had a stiff log, fell to the ground. The soldier placed hi? knee upon C's breast, having drawn his \ istol and struck at his head. Several gentlemen, among others General R. G Dnnno vantand Dr. William Burt, approached him and begged the soldier not to hurt the man, as he had done nothing, and in response he would brandish his pistol and Bay, "G-d d-n you, go away, or I will shoot you," and of course no one touched bim. Coleman, who was still on his baok, endeavoring to extricate himself, appealed to the bystanders, and said, "Gentlemen, will you permit this maii to murder me for nothing?" The soldier thereupon seized him by the hair, retied his head from the ground and shot him through the' baok of his neok. At this junoture, when it was evident that he intended to murder an Innocent man, whom he had so diabolically as sanited without provocation, a young man drew hie pis? tol and fired npon the soldier, who jumped'and ran to? wards the quarters of the garrison. Coleman rose, and fired two or three times at the soldier as he ran, and the young man fired twice. No one else fired or interfered. The soldier fell, after running about seventy -five yards. Dr. Burt tendered his assistance, and found that he bad been struck but once in the chest, evidently the first shot of the young man." No resistance or insult had been offered to any soldier of the United States that day by any citizen, and everything had gone on quietly until this brutal and unprovoked and unnecessary assault was made upon an unoffending citizen. The sergeant in charge of the detachment of the 26th Ohio Volun? teers marched his men on the square, cursed and de? nounced the people as d-d cowards and murderers, and threatened to shoot any man who opened his-mouth. Upon the circumstances being explained to him after? wards by Gen?. Butler and Gary, he expressed himse f satisfied, and said that tho soldier deserved to have been killed, and the sergeant commanding,.the cavalry td8 tacbment did likewise. The sergeant offered to forward for the information of the commanding general, a statement setting forth the facts as they occurred. The statement was prepared Betting forth the.above faots, signed by Generals Gary, Butler, Dunnovant, Dr. Wm. Burt, the clerk and sheriff of the district, and several others of the most respectable gentlemen in the com? munity who were eye-witneese?, was forwarded and was received. Two or three weeks after this a squadron of cavalry was sent to Edgefleld Court House, under* sharge of Major Alexander Moore, of General Slokles' staff. General Gary and Mr. 8. B. Griffin, lawyers and ; gentlemen of the highest respectability, were arrested without being Informed of the charges upon whloh they were arrested, placed under a strlot guard, and no in? tercourse was aJlowsd them to apeak w Uh their friends, not even to. speak to them. . They were hurried off at night and- were made to travel all night to Columbia, Disced in a loathsome, flit jr guard house, where they learned for the first iime that they were arrested upon the affidavit ot a negro, a notoriously bad oharaoter, to the effect that they had fired upon the Federal soldier who was killed on the 6th of March, and encouraged others to do so, when the truth was that Mr. Griffin was not on the street, but in the oourt honse, out of view, and that General Gary not only did not fire or enoonrsge others to do so-for he had no pistol or other deadly weapon upon his person-but was very influential in allaying the excitement whloh the outrageeus conduot of the soldier bad oreated. These gentlemen were sent frc m Columbia to Charleston, placed in felon's cells In the Charleston Jail, and were kept In this wsy lor several days before they could be released upon parole. It ls due to Brevet Major-General Ames, who commanded the western district of South Carolina, embracing Edgefleld, that upon the matter being represented by gentlemen whose veracity and chancier w ;re unimpeachable, that he released them upon parole after they had been confined for several days in Charleston, intending to permit them to return home, when Major Moore gave him an order as the rep? resentative of General Sickles, commanding the Depart? ment, to forward them to Columbia. This matter had all been explained to Major Moore before he made the 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 felons and oonvlots. (The foregoing iaots can be established by any number cf affidavits of our best citizens ) This oavalry was sent to Edgefleld, as lt is alleged, to put down armed bands of bushwhackers, guerrillas, raiders, hoi, who, it was said, were infesting the coun? try, intimidating, flogging, robbing and murdering negroes and Northern men, who. were "peaceable set? tlers." They were represented to number from twenty five to two hundred and fifty, "under the command of sn ex-Bebel Major." The faots are these : A few men had been left in the country, belonging to other States, by the two armies, Johnston's and Sherman's, as they were passing through the State, IrreBponsib'e, idle and despsrate, and passing themselves off as horse traders from Kentucky and Tennessee, had imposed upon some of our citizens, and had committed some outrages. There were probably not more than four or five of these men at any one time in Edgefleld District. They would pass rapidly from one side to the other, and were not sympathized with, or encouraged, or harbored by our citizens, when their real oh aracter was developed ; on the contrary, there was great indignation felt against them, and steps were in. progress by the citizens them? selves to drive them out or exterminate them, when this cavalry was sent into the country. The negroes had been taught by a systematic, studied effort ou the part MferiMajwam emissaries, incendiaries and mistaken Oie^^ feS their worst enemies, and hence they were allefixnas dlstrustful, not unfrequently insulting to those who were their natural and boat friends. It ls upon the evidence in the main oe these ignorant, duped and alienated people, that this Major Moore has arrested and sent to a felon's cell some of the very best and most lnoffending citizens of the country, men of known probity of character, of the highest respectability, and innocent of any offence against the United States Gov? ernment, and who are incapable of such disgraceful conduot as consciously harboring or encouraging any body of men banded together for the purpose of dis? turbing the peaoe and good order of sool&ty. By the unfair system of espionage whloh he has adopted, and whloh is too often adopted by the repre? sentatives of the Federal Government, and whish would havo done credit to the Spanish Inquisition, he oould undermine the oharaoter of the most respectable family In the State of New York, and convlot any com? munity of the most heinous offences, whloh, of course, would bo Imaginary, He has even gone further; he, in one oase at least, tie 1 up a freedman, stretched at full length by the arms, for four hours at a time, to extort evidence against his former master. Humanity shud? ders and civilization ls shooked at such conduct, and yet this is the humanitarian representativo of philan? thropie radicalism sent among the Southern people to teach them manners and morals. His soldiers,* not un? frequently maddened with liquor, raided over the coun? try arresting peaceable, law-abiding citizens, insulting them and their families, and robbing and plundering them under the pretenoe that they have been guilty of harboring bushwhackers, and guilty of the gravest offences against tho Government. ?g-Tlie Relatives, Friends and Acquaint? ances of Mr. and Mrs. J.

FELL upon the fatal field of Beam's Station, in the Ill-planned assault upon that point, on (he 21st of Au? gust, 1864, while struggling manfully for right and under the firmest conviction of right, LEMUEL M. PHILIPS, a private in Company B, 26th Regiment, S. 0. Yo e., in the 29th year of his age, leaving a wife and three young children to mourn his loss; to wait month after month for the lingering footstep that naver came to realize at last, in time, the hardening of their doubts and fears for his safety'into the saddest certainty of his death. The deceased was possessed of all thoso natural traits of disposition which, giving a zest to social intercourse, form the basil of all solid and enduring friendship, while in the f nully circle they make their possessor the binding centre around whom all other affections spring and cluster and confidingly repose. Manly he was, and yet never intruding on the rights of others; of delicate sensibility, and yet not inconsiderate of the feelings of others; keenly alive to what was noble, and uprlgh\ and lair, and scornful of what was unjust, and mean, and low; affectionate and yet not blind to duty. His was, in fine, one of those characters which seem to need but religion to beautify and adorn; which we naturally look tor to glide by an easy gradation into religious charac? ter, and which often seems to be waiting for some ex? traordinary occasion to fuse all these dmiable traits to? gether into elevated character, and to cast them into the sublimated mould of true religion. In the last dying struggle uf a rained and righteous cause, that awful opportunity, so ever present on the tented field, for balancing with clear and dispassionate judgment the overwhelming Importance of spiritual interests over earthly, came to him on the battle-ground in "the still small voice," which whispered of the con? stant nearness of death, and of the necessity of prepara? tion foi it; ana under its power to transform, to de? velop, to elevate, he learned to reallz s the absolute ne? cessity of personal religion, thc nocessity of a confes? ?is*, ol' Christ before men. That stito of a renewed nfffid and heart was but preparatory to another-the second and saving step of tho Spirit's holy work, the de? termination to consecrate the remainder of his life to the salvation of his soul. Why he was BO early called from earth, before his newly born faith had been allowed to prove itself ny tbu riper fruits of the Spirit wo do not know, but we know that he is safe. "We know that all things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." * ?S- BOINE8T & BURKE RECEIVE THE latest New York DAILIES every alterno jn.
