ADMIRAL PALMEE VISITS THE Crrx COUNCTL. Yesterday, at ono o'clock, Admiral PALMES and Staff paid a visit of ceremony to the Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston, at the City Hall. LATE PAPERS.-Tve aro indebted to Mr. P. YOGKLEB, No. 108 Market-street, for copies of the New York World, Herald; Times, Tribune and Daily iVeica ; also of the Staats Zeitung and Hound Table. SECOND CHOP POTATOES.-Weare indebted to Mr. WM. HOLMES for a substantial specimen of large ?nd lusciou 8 Irish potatoes, boing a portion of the second crop raised in his garden this year. POLITICAL ISSUES BEFORE THE PEOPLE.-Wo are indebted to Mr. E. C. SEAMAN for a copy of a pamphlet, from his p:n, exposing the Radical fal? lacies. Mr. S. is a citizen of Aun Arbor, Michigan, and we welcome his article, useless as it may be against the tide of popular frenzy, as an evidence that there are yet some true patriots in the fax Northwest. BBUTAL ASSAULT.-Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, a landlord of one of the sailors' boarding houses in Elliott street was arrested by officer LEVY for a brutal assault upon a sailor. It seems that the landlord was endeavoring to force the seaman aboard some vessel without paying him any ad? vance money, when the latter resisting, he knock? ed him down and jumped on bim, and struck bim in the head with a paving stone. Officer LEVY seeing the assault, promptly arrested the assail? ant, and carried bim to the detective office, the sailor following. Lieut. HENDRICKS, on hearing the statement of Mr. LEVT, ordered the landlord to be locked up for examination by the Mayor this morning, and. also directed that a surgeon be sent for to attend ' to tho sailor, who was very bloody, and quito stupid from the terrible blow which be had received. MATOB'S COURT, December 5.-A small, dirty looking colored youth, dressed in a fat soldier's garments, and laboring under the name of George Washington, was brought to tho bar for fighting in the streets; but as no prosecutor appeared, and as he had been imprisoned for a day, he was dis- i ^ Kissed, with bis lips and teeth so far apart as to j give him the appearance of having a very open countenance. William Manigault, a colored individual, who took another man's coat by mistake, with the pockets foll of rice, but who was prevailed upon to restore it to the owner, was discharged, a compro? mise having been effected between the parties. A sailor, of large dimensions, who got drunk and imagined himself a vegetable, and consequently took up his abode in that part of the Market where carrots and turnips "most do congregate," was fined $5, which brought him back to conscious? ness, and made bim remember that he was part man and part beast. A USELESS WELL.-Some years ago an Artesian well, of sixty feet depth, was constructed in Meet? ing, between Tradd and Broad streets, and a pump placed in it, much to the gratification of numerous neighbors, who were pleased with the softness of the water, and used it extravagantly. During the late war, however, when that part of the city was completely deserted, the pump was either taken out for fire wood or may have rotted, and as the well was never used, its absence was not noted; but as the old residents began to move back to their former domiciles, after peace was proclaimed, they began to feel the want of the excellent water formerly afforded by this public well, and which bad been of so much benefit to them. According? ly, about four months ago, much to the delight of the neighbor?, the city again placed a pump in it, and the persons around were using it with as much pleasure as before, until some eight weeks ago, when the handle suddenly disappeared, and the new pump-now stands there as useless to the peo? ple as if it were merely a post We hopo the Chief of the Fire Department will correct this evil, and enable the residents in that part of the city to enjoy again this soft and agree able water. INTEBES-.TNG TO STREET RAILROAD MEN_The San Francisco Morning Catt, of a recent date, has the following; Dr. B. M. Esterle, of this cit.,, has invented and patented an appliance to street rails which will ef? fectually prevent cars from getting off the track, and at the same time put a stop, in a measure, to the travel of vehicles on the rails by which, espe? cially in the case of boavy teams, they become worn and spread to that degree the flange of tbe car wheel will s car eely take hold. It consists of an oblong piece of iron placed at intervals on the in? side of the rails, wedge-liko at both ends, and judg? ing from the operation of the model which the in? ventor has prepared, will answer the purpose de? signed. It will bo particularly useful at the curves, where the delays are sometimes frequent, and al* ways annoying. The invention can bo applied to tbe rails already laid. PLAN FOB A NEW RAILROAD.-It will be seon, by an advertisement in another column, that applica tion will soon be made to the Legislatures of this State and Georgia for a charter of a railroad to run from some point near Saltkehatcbie, on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, to Millen, in Georgia. Such a road, in connection with the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, will open shorter route to the West than any we now have and will lead to competition for the freight and travel to and from Charleston in that direction which is a want that bas been long and seriously felt by this community. We are glad to bo authorized to say that this application will be made by capitalists who have an abundance cf moans, and who are determined to open this great thoroughfare, and by the short? est route and best accommodations induce travel? lers and producers to select for themselves the most advantageous markots and comfortable stop? ping places. This scheme has long been a favorite ono with some of tho most enterprising and practical men of this city, -and we congratulate thom that tboy have at last found capitalists of enlightened views to carry out the plan which they have so often reconamenlod. Titra LNB?I?AUCE.-This branch of thc insurance business increased to such a degree during tho late war as to take its stand permanently alongside of thc long established marine and fire insurance Many companies of largo capital have been estab? lished, and have boen almost incredibly successful. Among thoso the Manhattan Lifo Insurance Com? pany is prominent. The agent in this city, Mr. E. MONTAGUE GBEHEE, is a gentleman of standing and position, and parties desiring to invest can ob? tain from him any further information they may wish. See advertisement. OUB LAUT.-Having waited for a long timo with the expectation that either jhe city or the gas company would throw a little light upon Hayno street, especially in tho neighborhood of this of? fice, where we are visitod nightly by many patrons, and at times one cannot soe ton feet ahead; but finding ourselves mistaken we, at last, liko the wagoner in the fable, put our owi shoulder to tho wheel, and with the assistance of P. L. GOTT.T.F.MTN, who played the part of Hercules in the same story, have succeeded in placing in front of our estab ment a splendid light, supplied with gas from our multiplilier, and worth at least a dozon city lamps. We boast not only of the illuminating power of this elegant affair, but also of the magnificent work? manship of the lamp itself, which has received high encomiums from ah ^ho have seen it, and in? sures a first-rate representation of what Mr. GUIL iiE3HN is capable of producing. Mr. G. attends punctually to every description of gas fitting in a workmanlike manner, and has con? stantly on hand, at his supply shop in Church street, opposite tho gas works, as handsome an as? sortment of fixture -, shades, &c, as are to be found in tbc cit}'. THBOOGH CO??NECTIONS TO HAVANA AND NEW OB LEAKS.-A convention of the ofneors of the follow? ing railroads, viz.. Wilmington and Weldon, Wil? mington and Manchester, Northeastern, Ailantic and Gulf, and Georgia and Pensacola, was held in this city last evening, for the purpose of establish? ing through connections, via Charleston, between the Norther n cities and Havana and New Orleans. On motion, Mr. A. P. RAVENEL, Prosidont of the Northeastern Railroad, was unanimously selected to preside over the meeting. After a full discussion of the merits of the pro? posed route, it waB, on motion, JRe?olce?, That a committoe, to consist of tho Chairman and Mr. C. L>. Owens, bo appointed to obtain propositions from parties interested in steamships, to put a weekly line of steamers on the h\ie between St. Mark's and Havana, and a daily line from St, Mark's to New Orleans, to be referred to an adjourned meeting of this Conven? tion, to be held in Charleston (S. C.), and to be called by the Chairman as soon as he may consider it advisable to do so. After which the thanks of the Convention were tendered to the proprietors of the Charleston Sotel for the uso of the Club Room. On motion, the meeting adjourned. POBCELAIN PICTURES.-lt will be seen by his td rartisement, in another column, that BARLOW, the Ejreat photographist, at the southeast corner of King and Market-streets, challenges comparison between his porcelain pictures and those of any jther artist. A personal inspection will satisfy our readers that he is justified in his confidence in these cliefs ??ozuvres of art., To THE LADIES.-We take pleasure in informing the ladies that those indispensable articles for the toilet, "Caldwell's Fragrant Lotion,'' for chapped lands and face, sore hps, sunburns ; also, "Cald? well's Evangeline Hair Tonic," one of the best preparations known for preserving, beautifying and promoting the growth of the hair, are to be found it the new Hascl-stroet Drug Store, next to St, klary's Church.

The blasts of autumn and the chill storms of early win ter are apt to make sad inroads upon the constitutions of the feeble. Di old times, at the commencement of every season, it was the fashion to take a strong cathartic as a safeguard against a change of temperature. It was a worse iban senseless practice. The people of our day inderstand -he matter better. Instead of depleting the system they reinforce it In the method they adopt they jxhibit a wise discrimination, Bastead of resorting to the vitiated stimulants of commerce, or any of the com? pounds derived from them, they put their faith in the mly absolutely pure invigorant procurable ba the mar let-HOSTETTER'8 STOMACH BITTERS. Their faith ia well founded. Never has any tonic medicine been pr? parc i with such scrupulous precisi?n and conscientious ?are. It is a vegetable compound, of which every ingro lient is sound, wholesome, and medicinal ' in the true sense of the word. Now we have three prominent na ional complaints. One-half of the adult population of he Unite c. States suffer, more or lesa, either from dis sases of tho stomach, derangements of the liver, or aflec ions of the kidneys. Da no other land under Heaven ire these maladies so general as in this country, and aOSTETTER'8 BITTERS is a specific for them all, un ess organic in their origin, and, therefore, beyond cure, tod let those who are fortunate enough to be exempt tom them at present understand one great fact, viz: bat an occasional uso of this vitalizing tonic will prevent the earth from freezing whare Its genial beams descend.

That they do much to quiet "family jars," and reconcile fretful wives to cross hus? bands, wo verily believe. When domestic quiet is re? stored and connubial felicity reigns supreme, "How great the charm, how sweet the bliss, That finds expression in a kiss." A free and proper use of PLANTATION BITTERS will inspire the souls of both sexes with pure and high-toned sentiments of affection, and a capacity for rare and ex? quisite enjoyment in each other's society. Remember there is no place like home, and no passion like love^-and nothing to link the two together and you to both like the great Family blessing-PLANTATION BITTERS.
