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

THE SEASON OF STORMS.
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.
