THE AGENT of the Boston and Charleston Steam? ship Company has received a dispatch from the Captain, stating that the steamship George B. Upton loft Fortress Monroe at 3 o'clock A. M. yes? terday. WE HAVE received, from M. M. QUTNN, of tho Dp Town News Depot, tho latest dailies and weeklies; among them the Literary Album, C?dmney Corner, Ledger, &c., all of which are beautifully illustrated and contain many new and beautiful tales, with much other interest ng matter. ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH.-Like many other of our ehurches, this house of God suffered severely from the late war, which delayed its opening to the pres? en time, but the congregation having reorganized j and appointed a pastor, services will bo held rogu- j larly on each Sabbath. The seats are free, and it is therefore necessary to call for assistance to make j such repairs as aro actually required. Our citizens i will be called upon by a committee, appointed for' that purpose, for aid, and, we hope they may meet with a liberal response. FOB THE BENEFIT OF HOUSEKEEPERS.-Many per? sons who are in the habit of freshening mackerel or other salt fish, never dream there is a right and a wrong way to do it. Any one who has seen the process of evaporation going on at salt works < knows that the salt falls to thc bottom. Just so it j ie in the pan where your mackerel or other fish lies with the skin side down, the salt will fall to the ? skin and remain there; when if placed with flesh aide dowD, the salt falls to the bottom of the pan, and the fish comes out freshened as it should; in the other case it is as salt as when put in.

FraE ON BOYCE'S WHARF.-Yesterday, at about eleven o'clock, a fire broke out in the cotton sam? ple room of the office of Messrs. ROBEBT M?HE & j Co., Boyce's Wharf, and soon spread to the adjoin? ing offices. The offices of Messrs. SHAOKELFORD & { FRASER, ROBERT MURE & Co., T. S. & T. G. BUDD, HOLMES & STONEY, R. T. WALKER, and the wharf ? office, were badly damaged. The property, we ] learned, belonged to Messrs. JOHN FRASER & Co. The flames bid fair at ono time to extend to the cotton yard, which, if they had not been prevented by the energy of our fire department, would have consumed a vast amount of cotton and rico. We did not learn that there was any insurance on the properly burned. We observed one feature at the fir? which we think well worth naming. That was the action of the firemen. Many of them, at the alarm, were at their business, and immediately rushed to the firo, without their proper apparel, causing in a majority of casesthe utter ruin of the clothes they wore. This shows an appreciation for, and a "loyalty" to, the good institution which they represent, which should be remembered by property holders with gratitude. MAYOR'S COURT, December 12.-A Mc something, who .was on a bender, and was throwing bricks quit? promiscuously in King street, and chasing "nagers," had a sudden stop put to his career by one of the police, who caught him in tho oct, and took him to the Guard House, where he looked him up. After bsing in tho cell, he exhib? ited his disgust for the individual who arrested him^ as well as his contempt for the police gener? ally, by breaking everything ho could find loose about him, so that the Mayor fined him $10 for throwing bricks, and $10 for breaking things. A man, with a broken nose, who had been found lying down drunk in the street, and also said that he had been sick for some timo and had just come out, was fined $3 for sleeping .without covering on such a cold night. ; ' A speculator, from Ireland, who had been making arrangements with a freedman to go into the coun? try and purchase cotton with imitation gold eagles, was handed over lo a magistrate, who will endea? vor to show him that ho was about to make a bad investment.: ? 't. - ". .o,tfj A fomale, who happenedto: be on tho outside of a pint of whiskey, and was making a great noise aboutit, was fined $5. A c ountryman, with a .blushing head of hair, who indulged va some, whiskey that sent Mm to church on Tuesday night, but. behaved so badly while in there that-he had to. bo: affectionately taken by the collar' by one o? the p?lice and carried out, was fined $20, which will, perhaps, take the rough edge off of his Christmas money... Jack Hines, a dark individual, who had also beep sibi for some time, and had just come out to try a little hard drink and' hard pavements for his complaint, was fined $5.. , " ' William Gardner^ colored, who got drunk in the day time sad occupied the sidewalk, much to the discomfort of pedestrians, was made to pay $5 as a nuisance. I . CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.-A glance at the advertise ' .ment of L. LORENST, who keeps his cheap segar store at"No. 332 King .street, will satisfy all lovers j of the weed, who are generally liberal men, that his establishment i3 the proper one to make pur? chases at for presents, his stock not only being elegant and. various,' but much cheaper th<v" at any ' other placo of the kind in the city."

A BALL_Our German fellow-citizens, of the German Volunteer Association, give a grand ball j this evening at Hiborniai Hall, and, as usual on ! these festive occasions, all may look out for tho ? enjoyment of much pleasure. ATTENTION is called to tho advertisement of Miss A. L. SALOM?N, in our paper to-day, who announces that she has resumed the instruction of ornamental j work, in the various branches comprising T?bite j ond colored embroidery, &c. M. STOVEX & Co.-These gen tlemen having es- | tablished themselves at No. 729 King Btreet, near ' Line, as per their advertisement, and mtending ' to keep always on hand skins of every kind, as well as tallow, soap and candles, wo would suggest a visit to their business place by those Who live among us, or others who may be desirous of pur? chasing such articles. We feel confident that every effort will be made on their part to give per? fect satisfaction to customers. To THOSE wanting Artificial Legs or Arms we . would call particular attention to the advertisement in another column. mths LATEST ARRIVALS 1-The famous Wizard, "San? ta Claus," has arrived in Charleston, and establish? ed his headquarters at VON SANTEN'S BAZAAE, NO. 290 King street.

KING & CASSTDET, Agents. GOODRICH, WTNEMAN & CO., Agents. [FOE THE DALLY HEWS.] MB. EDITOR :-I have noticed in your issue of the 9th inst, an historical sketch of the house of GEORGE A. HOPLEY & Co., in which there is a sin ? gular omission of the name of D. ?. SF.TXAS. D. j C. SETXAS was a member of that firm until his death, which took place nine years since, in Octo? ber, 1857. He was brought upas a merchant hy GEORGE A. HOPLEY, and for his intelligence and in? dustry became a partner some years before his death; and it is well known in this city that the i burdens of a large business fell on him almost ex , elusively during the frequent absences of the elder partner in Europe, so much so that it hastened his j death. ' Now it is remarkable that the person who iur j nished the information contained in your paragraph should have been so ignorant of these facts, as to | have so ignored the name of Mr. SETXAS, as if such person h id never an existence; and it is still more ! remarkable that other persons attached to the house, on seeing the injustice done to Mr. SELKAS, did not supply the omission.

December IS thm2 : Appeal of the Palmetto Fire Kngine Co. . The officers end members of the Palmetto Fire Engine Company having determined to order a steam are en? gine' of Messrs. RU:?NBMAN & Co. 'a manufacture, are ne? cessitated to ask aid of their fellow-citizens. In doing so j they are aware that in the Department at this time there are six steamers. The effect of the introduction of steam ) on the hand engines has tendered in a manner to lessen the energies of their company, and as they hare been, as will be seen, twenty-six years laboring in the good cause for the benefit of our, community, they trust their appeal will be responded to with that liberality that hts always characterized their fellow-citizens towards theta. To do good is our sim, and to accomplish this end ?nd save cm old association, we ask whatever aid can be afforded, and by cur strenuous exertions hope to receive the ac? knowledgment from those who assist us that we are working' in a common cause. Wo are aware that our community have subscribed most liber ?Sly to all compa? nies; but we trust they wih not forget the Palmetto1" Fire Company. .. '; , ? The Committee appointed to soHttt, subscriptions are Messrs. J. A. ARMSTRONG, Messrs. B. RODDEN, THOS. TTTTT-ra, - JOS. BEDDICK, H. FERGUSON, " JOHN LONG, ..' X. CLAFFY, T. O'KEEFE. I most cheerfully recommend the appeal of the Pal- ; metto Pire Engine Company, and treat they may be able" to keep 'together their useful organization, Which has j been in active service since 1840.

Tn old ames, at the commencement of every season, it was the fashion to take a strong cathartic as a safeguard against a change pf temperature. It was a worse than senseless practice. The people of our day understa ad the matter better. Instead of depleting the system ti ey reinforce it. Tn the method they adopt they exhibit a wise discrimination. Instead of resorting to the vitiated .stimulants of commerce, or any of the com? pounds derive 1 from them, they put their faith in the only absolutely pure invigorax procurable in the mar ! kat-HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Their forth is well founded. Never has any tonic medicine bees pre* pared with such scrupulous precision and conscientiouB care. -It ls a vegetable compound, of which every ingre? dient is sound, wholesome, and medicinal in the true sense of the word. Now we have three prominent na ; tiona! complaints. One-half of the adult population of the United States suffer, more or less, either from dis? eases of the stomach, derangements of the liver, or affec? tions of the kidneys. In nd other land under Heaven are ' these, maladies so general as in this country, and HOSTETTER'S BITTERS is a specific for them ell, un? less organic in their origin, and, therefore, beyond cure. And let those who are fort?nate enough to be exempt from them at present understand one great fact, viz : that an occasional nae of this vitalizing tonic will prevent the earth from freezing where its genial beams descend. rut [Communicated.
