She was knocked down and seriously inj ured. THE IDEA I-"Moonlight on tho sea" has long been a favorite theme with ye loyyers and the poets. Captain WILLEY, ever thoughtful, bas taken the idea to give a practical illustration of this sentimental situation, and accordingly designs propelling his Idea into the harbor this evening. See advertisement. Trna SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR for inly, 1866, published i at Athens, Qa., has come to hand.

He returns with'renewed heilthand an increased feeling of affec tien for his old home. His fellow-citizens may rest as? sured that his capacity and business intelligence will be li largely ^devoted to rebuilding and restoring, to more I than their former prosperity, the waste places around | us. DISTUBBANOE ON THE BATTERY.-Yesterday afternoon two negroes, who were Inclined to be disorderly on the j Battery, were prompt:.? arrested by the military gu ard, and taken to the Provost Marshal. This guard has now been on the Battery for several days, and has proved very effloient in preventing disturbances. This con tri-1 butes muoh to the comfort and pleasure of the frequent* j ere of that favorite resort, and the officer, whoever he may be, who caused the guard to be stationed, deserv es the thanks of the whole community. ' SODA WATBB.-By reference to the advertisement in another oolrjmu, lt will be observed that Meiers. A. W. ECKEL '& Co. have had Buch A "run" on their fountain, that they have boen compelled to procure another. The new one is very handsome, equal to any in the city,- | and to be reserved for the exclusive use of the ladies. Here the _ngels will quaff their "nectar.'' But hot an d thirsty mortals of the masculine persuasion must not think that their wants will not also be supplied. On the contrary, they will alway s find polite and prompt attention; but nf course place aux dames. Mr. EOKEL'S soda water is'good,-in fact, A No. 1. TBS OPTICAL EXHIBITION at the College en Saturday I "-' night was ? brilliant success. Ths chapel could not | i hold all the curious applicants. Many of the specta to rs had no very definite idea of wh?t they were invited to see. But the humorous Professe or, with his Drummond ; light, soon made the whole matter olear; and exclam a Mons of. surprise and delight followed each other in rapid succession all over the house. Of course when the fortunate few, who had been thus privileged,, re? turned home and .told their, friends of the splendid phenomena tho/ o?vr ?ftoAa?ti>, said friends were very I anxious for an opportunity to enjuj _to {treasure on their own account. In compliance with the wishes ef a j great many auch, anotht r performance will be given to? morrow night. See advertisement, W. Y.

LEITCH, Esq., has commenced the Brokerage, Exchange and Real Estate business at No. 25 Broad-street, This gentleman has; strong claims on the patronage of his fellow -citizens, He was brought up to the business of a merobaot bi this, hie native city, and his commercial knowledge was afterwards improved by ten years' experience as a Bank officer. Holding 'lately the l?oratlve position of Sur? veyor of the Customs, he yielded that place rather than tako the test oath. The publie having a necessity to em? ploy a oapable merchant in the above mentioned mat? ters, will do well to ' call on Mr. LEITCH. SHOOTING IN KING-STREET.-Yesterday afternoon, about dark, for some cause unknown, three negro sol? diers commenced firing at ? citizen in King-street, near Clifford-street. They pursued the oltizeu, firing, for some distance, when they weru met by the guard of the J 6th Infantry, who had been just relieved from duty on j the Battery. On learning the circumstances, the white j soldiers pursued the negroes, and finally succeeded in capturing two of them and carrying them to the Cita? del.' The third escaped, minus his clothes, which he I pulled off to lighten his weight Several shots were fired at the retreating darkies, but none took effeot A Nxw YAOBT.-Messrs. HARVEY & SON, shipwrights', nave just completed-beautiful yacht for Mr. DAYTON, the enterprising proprietor of the Surf House on Sulli? van's Island. The steamboat leaves Sullivan's Island for the city av such an early hour that Mr. D A? TON'S guests are often compelled to go before the snn is low enough for bathing to be pleasant. On this account I Mr. DAYTON bas had this boat built in order thu bis j visitors may bathe and leave when it suits their conve? nience. The yacht le called the Wattie, ls 30 feet long, and 8 feet 6 Inches broad, with a sliding kee 1 or centre I board of 1 feet She is cutter rigged, having a large.saU of | 70 yards. She can accommodate 40 passengers, and will doubtless soon be a favorite with the patrons of the Surf House, not only as a passage boat, but also for pleasure excursions. This is the third yacht recently built by the same firm. The J????e, whioh was built for Captain SHABP, and the Norma, built for Captain CUTT-B, having given entire satisfaction, an d, refleoted great credit on Messrs. -HARVE? A SON. Tho Wassie was carried from the builder's yard at the j Sailor's Home, in Market-street, to the Market Wharf and there safely and beautifully launched. At 2 o'clock I in the afternoon she set out on her trial trip, at which we were requested to be present. We regret that press? ing engagements prevented us from availing ourselves of the kind invitation. , LAUNCH.-On Saturday morning last there was Hunched from the ship-yard of Mr. S. ZANAGUEBA, at BENNETT'S MRI, East Bay, one of the prettiest little crafts that we have ever seen upon the water, and which must reflect great credit upon its builder. The vessel is intended for a steam "Water Boat," and is a propeUer. being 60 feet ia length, of 16 feet beam, and SH feet depth. Her tank is capable of holding 13,000 gallons of water, and she has double engines of thirty horse power each. She has io inch oylindors and 10 inch stroke, with an upright tubular boiler of 5 feet 3 inches diameter and 8 feet height, containing 184 two inch tubes, and her propeller ie 4 feet 4 inches in dia? meter, with a pitch of 7 feet. The huh was built by Mr. S. ZANAGUEBA of the best oak, cedar, and hackmetack* and is copper-fastened and sheathed with 18 oz. yellow metal. Her engines and machinery ore from the weU known establishment of JOHN F. TAYLOR & Co., and the blacksmith's work bas been executed by Mr. c. A SCANLAN. This fine little steamer, which will be of great service to our shipping interests, is owned by Mr. J. TUOHEY and the enterprising firm of CRAIG, TUOHEY & Co., and was named the "Agnes," in compliment to the wife of Mr. CBAIG, the senior member of that firm. As a matter of information to our mechanics, we would say that tbie vessel was built at two thousand dol? lars less cost than offered by Northern contractors, and ono thousand dollars I?SB than by Eastern bidders. Proposals from Wilmington, Del., and Baltimore, ap? proached nearer the Charleston estimates than any others. We wish the utmost success to the "Agnes," her offi? cers, and her worthy and public spirited owners. THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OP ORDEB.--Our readers will be glad to learn that orders have been issue?, from the Headquarters of this Military District for the arrest of all vagrants, and to prevent the selling of liquor to freed? men, Thi< is a step in the right direction, and Bhows that the military authorities appreciate the situation and are determined to do all their power for the resto? ration of law and order. Below we give the Order in full: HEADQUARTERS STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, ) OHABLBSTON, S. C., Jnne 29, 1866. J GENERAL ORDERS, ) . No. 9. i I. The Brevet Major-General Commanding has no? ticed, with deep regret, the disposition on the part of freedmen in the vicinity of Charleston and along the coast to disregard their ag cements on plantations, to the negleot ot the crops, and to either. Hy Idling about their houses, roam at large over the country, or congre? gate in Charleston and other towns. This total disre? gard of all obligations to keep their contracts in good faith will cause an entire H lure of crops in the State, and the result must be destitution and starvation. The increasing amount of theft, drunkenness and vagrancy demando that the most prompt and severe measures be taken by all officers to obeck the evil. II. lt is ordered.that all men or ?omen who leave the plantation on which th?y are employed to labor, either by the month, for share of the crops or as renters of land, and thereby neglect their growing orops, be at once arrested as vagrants and put to work on the public roads, as provided for by Par. XII., G. O. No. 1, Head? quarters Department of South Carolina. All planters who have freedmen employed on their plantations who do not, at this Important season of the year, give their entire time to the growing crops, are authorized, if after reading this order to them and t hey neglect or refuse to obey it, to report them at once to the officer i i command of the district, who will ouse J them to be taken from the plantation as vagrants and put (o work on the public roads. Their children, if any, will be btjund to such persons as will take care of them and learnltheiu habits of industry. III. A prison will be established for all persons of color convicted of such orlmes as are not punishable by death on one of the islands, where employment oan be furnished, and all convicts will be compelled to labor from sunrise until sunset, under the control of such guards as will insure their safety. Any person con? victed of selling spirituous liquors to a freedman with? out a permit from some officer having control, will be fined in any sum not less than twenty-five dollar.- (|25) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100) for every offence of which he may bo convicted. IV. Commanding officers will have this order md in the sfcverpl colored churches in their vicinity, in order that it may become generally understood. By command of Brevet Major-General R. E. SCOTT. H. W. SMITH, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel and A. A. General. OFFICIAL: H. W. SMITH, Assistant Adjutant-General. REGULARS VS. VOLUNTEEBS.-Wherever through the broad South these'tw? forces of the victorious enemy have marched, a marked difference between them ha s been hoted. Where the people were so fortunate as to see bat one olees of the enemy, an individual acquain t ed with both would have no difficulty in deciding from their description which that one was. The comparison was ul way s in fnvor of the regulars, and especially in regaid to officers. With the men it was the effect of disciplino. With the officers it wu tho effect of disci? pline and breeding combined. The volunteer officer e were braggadocios and bullies, who oppressed, robbed and insulted men, women and children for the mere fun cf the thing, and with every accompaniment o f brutality which their devilish ingenuity could inven t. The regular officers on the other hand treated the peo - pie with some semblance ol respect. If the orders of the government, or their own evil inclinations com? pelled them to be robbers or tyrants, they tried to rob and tyrannize In a gentlemanly way. Like the knight s of the road in the ?Mo? ttme tkoy-?wi your watch with"8'smile and your pocket-book with a bow; and Ilk e Turkish Sultans they sentenced to death with a co mp li? ment There may be little oholoa between robbe rs, but if lt is one's fate to be robbed , it ls better to fa ll into the hands of those who will do the thing gentee ll y, than into the hands of those who will steal from yo u and then beat you. j Since the cessation of hostilities, this contrast be? tween the regu'ars and volunte?rs his been s'.lU mo re strongly marked. The volunteers have treated the South as conquered and hated foes. Like cowards they have struck their enemy when he was down. The regu? lars have acted more nobly. Resistance ceased, their ire has subsided. The Confederacy vanished, they re? collect that they are the soldiers not of the North on ly, but of the United States. Nowhere has this superiority pf the regular army over the volunteer corpa been more strikingly displayed than in Charleston. We will not dwell on the disagree? able Bide of the pioture. We oan afford to bury that in silence, and treat the actors with contempt. It wou ld be unjust, however, not to mention in terms of approval the conduct of the Sixth Regular infantry, since it has been in our midst, and also the entente cordiale whioh exists between our civil authorities and the officers of that regiment, and other regular officers connected with this military post. Colonel H. B. GLITZ, who has reoelved a complime n tary appointment carrying him North, earned the co r dtal respect of this community, and it is fortubate for Charleston that he has been succeeded by Major Bo r, another efficient officer of the same regiment. PROVOST CO'OBT, June SO.-It will be noticed on pe. rusal of the proceedings to-day that several oases in whioh freedmen are charged with capital felonies h ave been turned over to the Military Commission now in sesBion in thia city, As this 1B the same comm isslon before whioh the Anderson prisoners were tried, it is to be hoped that tho same untiring efforts will be us ed to bring these, negroes to justice, as seamed the conviction of those unfortunate men,J United States vs. James McQueen (colored).-Swind? ling.-This was un interesting case, showing the ne? gro's capacity for freedom, and the aptitude ind zeal with which he'has entered upon his new career of pro? gress. .

Policeman Grey confirms above testimony. Guilty ; fined $2. Dnited States vs. H*ndy Green (colored).- HavinR cotton and not being able to account for lt.-Discharged for want of evidence. Why are not the witnesses hold to appear in these cases? The police should, recollect that the negroes have as much right to cotton, or guns, or anything else as white people, and that their not being able to account for the possession is only a ground for arrest when they have goods in suspicious circumstances. The suspi? cious circumstances should br part of the charge, 'and evidence to prove them should be carefully furnished. United States vs. Prince Lawrence and Wm.

From present indications and information de? rived fr am all parts of the District, we think tho corn crop will be a very good one for the quantity ef land planted, but we cannot expect to realize more than a fourth, and at the best, a third of a cotton crop. * BUSINESS NOTICES.

"Well, sir, what's the matter?" said ABEBNETHY, the great English surgeon, to a cadaverous-looking patient, who had called to consult him.
