CLAUSSEX'S Steam Bakery, last -evening, which, frcm its appearance and the odor .arising from the hot loaves, gave evidence thafc.ihe flavor must hopgood. STATE "TAXES.-Tho total amount of taxes col? lected under the Act of 18G5, is $419,125; after de? ducting for commissions, poll tax unpaid, eta, $91,131, the.remainder is $327,994.

WE AUS indebted .to Mr. WILLIAM DELACET, who has very enterprisingly oponed a Nows Depot in the Mills House, iof a copy of the Saturday Be vieio. It is his intention, he says, to .keep all of the first-class literary productions of this country and Europe, as well as all other articles apper? taining to his business; and he hopes, as we trust he will receive,-the patronage of tue intelli ; gent portion of the community.

LOMBARDO, f Stewards. THE GERMAN VOLUNTEER ARSOCIATIO?T had their first ball on Thursday night, at Hibernian Hall. The object of title entertainment, as may be readily inferred from the title of the body under the auspices of whick it was given, was a noble one that "of blessed, .heaven-born charity. The ball was well attended, and the young folks enjoyed ^themselves very re.uch.'; Mr. MOLLEE'S Band oon itributed its usual quota of exhilarating melody. At the ghostly hour of midnight the dancers took a recess, and adjourned to the elegant dining hall, where a superb supper was set out, prepared bythat old and experienced caterer, Mr. H. METES. The committee consisted of Messrs. A. W. JAGEE, A? VON HASTEN, TH. HEITMAN, C. BEBBUSSE, IL WILLE, J. WEBTHETM, H. HOLLINGS and E. BOBNE MAN, arno discharged their duty admirably. But we regret to learn that, financially, the entertain? ment has not proved as successful as its friends could have wished. THE RA?S.- A race came off yesterday afternoon over the Washington Course, which had been the subject of .conversation for several days past by those interested in that sport. The entries were PETES CARROLL'S Eddy Cooper and BEN?. KEENAN BEZ'S Lame Bay, One mile heats and repeat. The horses we?? in fine condition and came up to the stand eager for the fray, and appeared to be so well matched as to command an equal number of admirers and backers, and bets were freely made and taken even. At the word go they shot off together at a rapid pace; Eddy Cooper havin the track, held it to the .end, keeping a little ahead, though hard pressed by the bay, and on the last* quarter, opened the gap about one length; winning the heat in 2 minutes 5 seconds. Tho second heat was pretty much as the first, except that Eddy Cooper came in a greater distance ahead, winning easily in 2 minutes 10 seconds. BISHOP WIGHTMAN.-We take pleasure in an? nouncing the- arrival of the above-named distin? guished Prelate, who reached the city yesterday afternoon, en route to Marion, where he will pre? side over the South Carolina Conference next week. Bishop WIGHTMAN is a native -of Charleston, a graduate of her college, and for years labored in the churches of this city, where his pulpit elo? quence, * his ?? learning, piety, and sterling pri? vate and social qualities,\were ever highly., appre? ciated, not only among the membership bf his own denomination, but more still, if this were possible, in the community at large. His.-friends will be pleased to learn that, if the condition of his vence permits, he will preach in Bethel Church to-mor? row morning, and to the Young Men's. Christian Association CO-morrow night at Trinity Church. The Bishop; we are informed, is the guest of bis kinsman, Rev. JOHN T. W IGHTMAN.' MA?OB'S COURT, December 14.-The driver of a cart, who not only insisted on running his vehicle in Ring-street, in opposition to the ordinance upon' the subject,- but nm himself against the policeman who warned him, and assaulted hun, for which he was fined $5; Frank Brady, a youthful colored professor, who was delivering a short lecture to a small audience, on the use of the knife, which he illustrated with outs, was sent to a Magistrate to listen to another kind of lecture. ? female, who had often graced the Court before, was again brought up for riotous conduct in the street, and it having been proved that she had not only uncorked a jug in .the public highway, and spilt the contents of it down her own throat, but had uncorked the vials of her wrath and be? spattered the passers-by, she was sentenced to ten days' imprisonment and to be allowed an un? limited supply of th? best water. Harry Taylor, a darkey with a smiling face, who was found lying down drank' in the market, was fined $3, and appeared to enjoy the fine as muon as the drunk. Some disorderly colored soldiers were sent to the Provost Marshal, and-some riotous sailors were pat on board of their vessel A email detachment of smokers, five in number, appeared, answered to their names, and paid their fines. THE ?ETNA EELS ENGINE COEPAH? yesterday celebrated their 32th anniversary with appropriate donors and festivities. The Company paraded over forty members, all handsomely uniformed, .and their new steamer elegantly rigged out. At the triajj.-the "machine" showed what stuff sho was made of, throwing a stream of 215 feet, amid the loud and lively cheers of. the boys. After the parade was over, the members proceed? ed to. the Market Hall, where the officers for the ensuing year were balloted for. TJoe following is the result of the election : E. E. SW EEG AN, President. J. A. : Qc A.CKKNBusH, iVico-President. T. LYONS, 1st Director. i C. MOKMEIEB, 2d Director. SAM. HAU VET, 3d Director. P. W. PETEBSOW, 4th Director. J. MCLEISH, Secretary. O. BASSETT, Treasurer. .TOHN BAH., 1st Axeman. WM. H. HABVES, 2d Axeman. F. WTNHBIM, 3d Axeman. Jos. WxuxxAMS,-4th Axeman. C. C. WIGHTMAN, Engineer. A lively interest characterized all the transac? tions of the meeting, and it was nearly midnight before the XDompany sat down to their supper, pre? pared by Mr. KBO'EG, in Wentworth street, near the Military Hall. The ?Etnas, as in duty bound, did amjjle justice to the generous cheer provided, and eating, drinMng, speeching, cheering, fun and jollimont were tho tho order of the evening. The gay revellers did not separate till the wee hours of morning. May many long and prosperous years be theirs. May the ?Etna ever maintain the proud position she has so long and so deservedly held in oui1 Pire Department, and may she never be called out save on auspicious occasions, similar to that of yesterday. THE STEEET RAXLWAX.-Great was the excite? ment yesterday along the iron road. Little^boys and juvenile freedmen were on the gui vive to see the elephant. "There she comes 1" "Hear the bells !" "Clear the track I" "Look out for the bullgine !" and other such vernaculars were heard all day long from these enthusiastic admirers. One pf the new street cars, a very handsome carriage, made several trips yesterday. It was drawn by two fine horses, and made excellent time. The novelty attracted considerable attention, and drew the : store people to their doors, and the house folks %o flatten their noses against the window? pane?. The child is born, and his name is Antho? ny. The long-talked of Street Railway is now an accomplished fact. The croakers and old fogies long prophesied that it never would be built, and now, not. discouraged by the failure of their previ? ous vaticinations, they venture on another, and predict that?i?ie enterprise will not pay. We doubt not, however, ?hat in this also they will be disap? pointed. At 12 M. this day the road will be formally opened. His Honor the Mayor, our worshipful City Council, with a number of invited guests, will take a ride in the pioneer car, in company with the President and Directors of the Company. We have heard, but cannot vouch for the truth of the ru? mor, that on arriving at Line-street the company is to be regaled ?>n the disjecta'membra of the defunct omnibuses. The trips yesterday were only made to ascertain if all was right. To-day is the great opening day, and we hope all will look out for the elephant. The President of the Company, Mr. JOHN S. RIGGS, deserves the utmost commendation for the energy with which he has pushed this enterprise to rapid completion. He was ably assisted by Mr. OWEN, the contractor, who has had a large experi? ence in building city railways. We understand he is now in negotiation for building a similar road for our sister city, Augusta. THE Bunira DISTRICT is such a chronic eye-sore to us that we hail with pleasure any inroad made upon this barren waste. Usually, in a large city, the traces of a fire are soon obliterated, and new and finer buildings rise upon the site of the ruins. But our case is peculiar. ? fire, almost unprece? dented in its extent, desolated the fairest portion of our city in December, 1861, when we were in a state of siege, and at the beginning of a long and exhausting war. Few of the sufferers received any insurance, and those who did were unable to make any lasting use of the money. When the wa? was at an end our citizens were unable to build, because, what little money was left, was needed for other and more pressing needs. A few improvements have been made. Mr. MEL DAU has built a handsome new three story house at the corner of Mecting,and Queen streets, and the Mills House has been put in thorough repair, and that part of the street now looks very attractive. Circular Church, too, has given birth to a vigorous scion, in the shape of a handsome new lecture room. Mr. WERNER has erected an unpretending structure where, TUBAL CliN-like, he worketh in iron. Mr. W.T. WHITE, more recently, has open? ed a new marble-yard on the east side of Meeting street, opposite his former place of business. The Theatre, the Apprentices Library, the Institute HalL and dozens of other buildings, here interred, still await their day of resurrection. Above Market street, in Meeting, all traces of fire have been obliterated, and a handsome new block of stores shows that there is life in the old land yet. We hope, ere long, to be privileged to chronicle other such evidences in every part of our city. THE ATTENTION of students of medicine is called to the advertisement of a scholarship for sale in our issue of to-day. OLNEY & Co.-This firm has now landing a large quantity of hay, lime, potatoes, ?fcc., andar? ready to supply these articles, with many others in store, on the best of terms. BOOK KEEPING.-By reference to the advertise? ment of Mr. STEPHEN E. PELOT, Principal of the Charleston Commercial School, it will be seen that he offers great inducements to young men desiring to qualify themselves for mercantile pursuits. MEASURES AND INSPECTOR OF LUMBER, TIMBEE, AND WOOD.-We would request attention to the card of Mr. JACOB C. "RENTIERS, in our issue of this morning, in which he announces his readiness to undertake this business, feeling confident that he can give satisfaction to all who employ him. He can be found at the office of STETNMEVEB & SON. CARPETS.-A: rare opportunity is offered mer? chants, house-keepers, upholsterers, and others, to supply themselves with the finest carpets at com? paratively low rates. Messrs. MCKAY. & CAMPBELL wilL on Monday next, we see by their advertise? ment, sell a large assortment of carpets of every style and description, among them Brussels, In? grain, and Venetian. We anticipate seeing a large crowd opposite the Post-office. POSITS OF MANUFACTURE.-In times of so fre? quent adulteration of articles in daily use, it is gratifying to be able to commend COLGATE'S Fami? ly Soap for its established and t ested purity. No soaps in the market are more free from all adulte? rating or deleterious ingredients. This fact is one which should extend the use of this soap into every^fam?y.

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 limes, 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 than "senseless practice. The people pf our day understand the. matter better. Instead of depleting the system they reinforce it. " In the method they adopt they exhibit a 'wise oiscrimination. Instead: of resorting to the vitiated stimulants of commerce, or any of the com? pounds derived from them, they put their faith in the only absolutely pure invigorant procurable in the mar? ket-HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Their faith is well, founded. Never has any tonic medicine been pre* pared with such scrupulous precision and conscientious care. It ls a vegetuble compound, of which every ingre? dient is sound, wholesome, and medicinal-in the true sense of the word. How we have three prominent na? tional complainte. 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 no omer land under Heaven are these maladies BO general as in this country, and HOSTETTER'S BETTERS is a specific for them aU, un? less organic in their origin, and, therefore, beyond cure. And let those who are fortunate enough to be exempt frommem at present understand one great fact,viz : that an occasional nae of this vitalizing tonio will prevent the earth from freezing where its genial beams descend.
