LOCAL MATTERS. WB ABB indebted to the parser of the steamer Eliza Hancox for Savannah papers of yesterday. MASONIC.-At the regular Convocation of the Germania Chapter, No. 12, the following Compan? ions were duly elected to serve for tho next ??ason ic year : Comp. J. M. PETERSEN, H. P. Comp. C. H. BERGMANN, E. Comp. J. KRUSE, S. Comp. L. F. MEYER, C. H. Comp. G. REINDECKE, P. S. Comp. G. DORKEWITZ, B. A. C. Comp. M. BORK, G. M.. 3d V. Comp. CH FLOTHMANN, G. M., 2d Y. Comp. F. J. RUCKH, G. M., 1st V. Comp. A. MELCHERS, Treasurer. Comp. R. BERGMAN Secretary. Comp. J. H. SCHMIDT, Tyler. THE STBEET RAILWAY.-The cars have been run? ning on the "Wentworth and Rutlodgo Btroct line for some days, and have only addod to the general satisfaction with which this enterprise has been greeted by^every citizen. Tho distant localities are now brought within easy communication with each other, and business men have time to digeat their meals and take a pleasant ride, instead of toiling through the dusty streets on foot, "While all of the conveniences ar? gratefully appreciated, and tho institution well patronized hy the travel? ling public, yet it appears that tho labor of pulling a car load of passengers is rather heavy work for one horse, and although the cars are a trifle small? er, they can bb made to hold the same number, for their capacity is elastic. THE YOUNO MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION an? nounces that the Rev. Dr. SMYTIL, of the Second Presbyterian Church, will deliver a sermon before them in Bethel Methodist Church, to-morrow eve? ning, tho 30th inst., commencing at 7 o'clock. Al? though the church selected for tho delivery of this .discourse is not so central in its location as others, nevertheless we expect to soc it crowded by per? sons from every part of the city, as thc occasion of hearing th?8 excellent minister is one not to he alighted. The young men of this city are especi? ally invited to be present, and they cannot spend1 the last Sunday evening of tho year in a hotter manner than hy listening to a discourse which will contain much to benefit them in tho future, and assist them in commencing the new year prop? erly. UNION WHARVES.-When last we visited thiB lo? cality, in August, we thought our public-spirited fellow-citizen, T. D. "WAQNEB, Esq., was on a for? lorn hope at the foot of Pinckney street ; hut a few months have wrought a great change. The ? meek of the old wharves is replaced hy a mest substantial struc ture. Pier No. 1 is really a fine one, with a corresponding shed. The counting houses on the wharf also make a very presentable appearance. "Workmen are still engaged on Pier No. 2, which will soon he ready for the largest ships. Another marked improvement, noticeable on the premises, ia a good fence enclosing Pier No. 1, fronting Concord street-two large gate? ways, opening thereon, insuring privacy at night. Order is to be preserved in day-time also, we judge, from the inscription over the entrance, "Keep to the right." WE HAVE MUCH pleasure in publishing the sub- j Joined communication from Dr. Cms om. The let? ter referred to was published in our paper by par- | ticular request : OFFICE NO. 74 HASEL STREET, > December 28,18G6. f ME. EDITOB : I regretted much to see in your issue of this morning a letter, signed by one of j my patients, who, without my knowledge or con? sent, gave to your readers an expression of her thankfulness for benefits received. Such commu? nications through the public journals are rightly j condemned by the profession as tending to char? latanism, and are always annoying to the persons named. Patients who adopt this method of giving ! vent to their feelings of gratitude, however good their motives may be, do injury, and not benefit, to their medical attendant. JULIAN J. CHISOLM, M. D. HAMLET-"The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold." HOBATIO-"It is a nipping and an eager air." Although this conversation took place in by-gone I years, and in a colder climate, yet the same re? marks could have been applied with equal force to the weather of the past few days. Since the re- j cent rain, old Boreas has roused himself and howls around the corners of hcuses and nips thc ears of the unoffending passengers in a disagreeable and vindictive manner. Walking, under these circum? stances, is far from pleasant; the stern Bex bend to the blast, and tiltarcecs are forced to seek refuge in the friendly shelter of the street cars. These last have redoubled their popularity, and the jingle of the bells is as music to the ear, and is hailed by the weary and storm-bent as a signal of rest and as a refuge from their troubles. As our Northern brethren are now in the full en? joyment of the skating season, it was evidently thought but fair that the South should see what iee was. Unfortunately we have no fresh water ponds in this vicinity, but an open drain at the corner of Market and Church streets was impro? vised into a skiting ground, and practiced upon with great oclat oy sundry small darkies, until thoj broke the ice, when it was resigned to the buzzards, who skirmished over it with equal agili? ty and preserved their equilibrium astonishingly. Christmas week has generally been with ns warm and pleasant, and the past Christmas Day was most delightful; hut immediately after it had left, the wind came round to the northwest; and brought the full feeling of winter upon us. We must regard this cold snap, however, as merely a spirt, and look for a return of moderate weather in a few days. GOOD ACCOMMODATIONS.-Tho range of of?ces on the southside of Accommodation Wharf has been recently completed, and those who remember the dingy brown building that formerly occupied this' site will he agreeably surprised to see the transformation made there in a few months. The ' factors, who have "been living in a rather crowded condition in the opposite range, hailed the com? pletion with pleasure, and the new offices were speedily occupied. Messrs. KENDALL & DOCKKBV and HUNT & BRO. celebrated the. occasion of their removal to their new quarters by a substantial and spiritual treat, which, for a house warming, answered the purpose admirably. \ Jt was a ruins:ling of congenial spirits, aa the representatives of King Cotton from every part of the city were collected together. "v Accommodation Wharf baa recently been im? proved by tho erection of a !?rgo 8hod on tho south platform, which affords ample protection to tho cotton stored there. In tho last month great activity has takon place in this trade, and the cot j ton bides aro piled so .closely that locomotion is somewhat impeded. Few wharves arc moro patron? ized than tho Accommodation, and the facilities offered there for business render it fully worthy of its name -o MAYOR'S COURT, December 23.-An individual was reported for having a cellar door so out of re? pair as to be dangerous to pedestrians, and the case was referred to the City Inspector.. James Grant, a "fellow-citizen of African do soent," who indulges in the aristocratic employ? ment of driving a one-horse dray, and who ob? structed the sidewalk with his vehicle, and when remonstrated with began to show slight signs of fight, was fined S3. A man who was so drunk as to be unable to help himself, and who had gone to roost on a pile of bricks in the burnt district, but was discovered by a policeman, who carried him to the Guard House and placed his "woary hoad" on a city feather pillow, was fined S3, and requested to have his coat brushed. An individual, not of surpassing beauty, was re? ported by his wife for getting drunk and breaking up tho furnituro of the house, which had been so well done, on the testimony of an officer, that thoro was not a piocc left larger than a man's hand, was finod $5. Hans, in his defence, stated that his vrow got tight off of his fowls-that is, she stolo his poultry and bought whiskey-and that ho wanted to bo even with her, "so fte cot trunk and proaked tings." A man who waa drunk and aalcop, leaning against await, butwho quietly assumed the horizontal posi. tion when carried to ono of tho splendid bed-rooms of the Guard HOUBO, was fined $3, and advised to keep away from walls. NEORO EMIGRATION_The Atlanta lnteW.ge.ncer says : Not a day passes but large numbers of the negro population take their departure westward over the State Road. We have been informed that not less thau a thousand per week are thus trans? ported on their way rejoicing to the rich Missis? sippi bottoms. They are collected up in various sections by agents, and it ?3 said that all sorts of inducements are offered them. A group may Le seen at the car-shed every day, awaiting ship nient. The same can be said of this city, with tho ex? ception that thc sable emigrants from tho Palmet? to State seem to prefer the Land of Flowers for their goal. They have probably heard of its para? disical qualities, and anticipate a fifo of indolent ease. Be this as it may, they are on the wing, and for the last two days might have been seen in groups in our city, so that, if wo did not live in the piping times of peace, we would think that they were a lot of hands to work on the fortifications. These negroes all seem in good spirits, and an? ticipate a fine timo in their future home. At the present time the Avant of labor is a great evil, and the loss of so many valuable hands is to be de? plored, especially as the planting season is about to commence ; but what is our loss may be their future gain, and although we miss their services we bid them God speed. EXTRA MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL-Present The Mayor, Aldermen GERDTS, SSIALL, STETN HEYER, OAKES, HONOUR, MARSHALL, EUSTON, WHTL DEN, COSGROVE, COURTENAY, RAVENEL, PRTNGLE, OLNEY, WILLIS, BUTLER and WRAGG. Alderman OLNEY being present was qualified. The election of W. L. CLEMENT and V. C. DIBBLE as Teachers of the High. School was confirmed. The budget WRB read as follows: A letterJErom Inspectors ana Measurers of Lumber asking what fee they should charge, as several changes had occurred, and requested Council to take action in the matter. The Mayor stated that last year they were allowed to charge 50 cents pei 1000, but that they should now be confined to the charge prescribed by law. Alderman HONOUR offered the following: The Committee on Belief, in January last, ir reporting on an application of sundry merchants, in relation to the tees charged by the Measurers and Inspectors of Lumber, stated that the parties agreed that a charge of 50 cents per M feet woulc be just and equitable, and the Committee recom? mended that such should be the charge. It since appearing that thia was in contradiction tp an Ad of Legislature, the Committee now recommend that the permission to change be now rescinded. J. H. HONOUR, S. G. COURTENAY, R. M. BUTLER. Petition of EDWARD LAFITTE, praying reduc tion ot' taxes. Referred to Committee on Retrench ment and Relief. Petition of Eliza S. Lee, colored, widov of Lee, long known to 1 the community stating that she was in old age and poverty that her son had lost his reason, ant prayed Council to have him sent to the Asylum The Mayor stated that the City Hospital affordec many advantages to test the insanity of a patient and that many placed there had boon dischargee cured, but left the matter to Council, and thi caso was referred to thc Committee on Retrench? ment and Relief. Mr. BAVENEL, as Chairman of Committee to bun tho city bills, tendered his resign atdon. Grantee by vote of Council. Ordinance to raise supplies was ratified. The Mayor stated that the next regular meetinj would fall on the 1st, and asked Council to desig nate some day in place thereof. On motion of Alderman BAVENEL, Wednesday the 2d, was chosen. No other busL_ess being before them, Counci adjourned. - - . SHD?-WARITTNO.-Our readers from time to tim have been advised of the progreeB of trade betwee: Baltimore. and Charleston. A few of our entei prising citizens, taking advantage of this tide have united with citizens and corporations of Bal t.moro and established the "Baltimore and Charlee ton Railroad and Steamship Company." The ai rival of tho flag-ship of this line in our waters wa tho occasion yesterday of a pleasant reunion c stockholders and a few friends of Captain REEI The company, on coming on board the Falcoi made a tour of inspection7 She is a substantif built ship, of 672 tons burden, 180 feet long, S fcot beam, 16 foot hold, with a capacity of 500 barrels, or 1200 bales of compressed cotton. Sh has recently refitted, end has accommodations fe 25 cabin passengers; the state-rooms being large than usually found on coasting ships. Her rig ging is tho improved wire rigging, and machiner] sails, spars, all of th? very best description. The collation spread in the saloon next olaimc the .attention of the visitors. Captain RTOD pr? sided. Among the guests, his Honor P. C. GAD LARD, Mayor; Alderman E. W. MARSHALL; ANDRE SYMONDS, President of the First. National Bah! EDWARD LAFITTE, Esq., CHARLES H. WEST, Jr Esq., L E. HERTZ, Esq., A. B. CHTSOLK, Esq., an the agents, J. L. TOBLIS, of MORDECAI & Co., an Messrs. COURTENAY & TRENHOLM, and other mei chants, together with representatives from tb Mercury and CHARLES J ON DAISY, NEWS. If the passengers of the Falcon far e half as we as our party did yesterday, Capt. REED will have vote of thanks and a chronometer presented at t?a end of every voyage. , . . , ' ... ; ' \ \ Alter ample justice had been done to tho Stet ? ard'a cuisine, "E. LAFITTE, Esq., proposed^ vex cumplimentar,/ lenna tho success of tho Baltimore and Charleston Railroad and Steamship Company's Linc. Ecspondod to by Capt. REED, whb said that from boyhood ho had been associated with tho commorce of Charlo ton-in tho good old times when tho packet ships of JOHN FRASER & Co. car? ried their signal-flags to the Eastorn world. For sixteon years before thc war this was his homo; it was his home during the war, and hero ho takes his place to do his duty in tho day of her tempora? ry adversity. Ile said ho was no public speaker; that tho high seas was hin scene of action, with lifo and proporty in his kcoping. If those trusts wero faithfu ly performed, his ambition would bc gratified. He concluded by offering as a senti? ment : "The City of Charleston-May her com? merce incroase and prosper through all time." His Honor thc Mayor replied innis usual earnest manner ; alluded to tho establishment of this lino, a largo share of the stock of which was owned by our citizens, as the best evidence that Charleston is going forward in her new career of prosperity. CHAS. H. WEST, Jr., proposed the health of the Captain-a REED not shaken by the winds. Mr. HERTZ proposed the health of Hon. M. C. MORDE? CAI, ihe senior partner of tho well known Charles? ton house, tho projector of this line. Responded tc by Mr. TOBIAS, who took occasion to say that whatever credit may bo due his house, or any other, in the organization of the present company, thc project could never have boen successfully car? ried out but for the personal exertions of Mr. Wsr. A. COURTENAY, of COURTENAY & TRENHOLM. Mr. COURTENAY rosponded. and said that in ac? knowledging tho compliment ho felt that too much had been placed to his credit. Aft-T a four years absence in tho army, he was, upon thc snrronder, compelled to remain thirteen months longur away from his nativo city. Upon his return, in tho spring of 18GG, he noticed the large bnsinoss grow? ing up between that noble ?kl city-"by blue Pa tapsco's billowy wave." and our own "City by tho Sea," and he determined to foster it with the aid of stoam. After consultation with the Hon. M. C. MORDECAI, tho success of a line of first-class steam? ers between tho two ports was considered reasona? bly certain. The enterprise was consummated by obtaining the co-operation of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, tho South Carolina Railroad, and the Georgia Railroad. Two fine ships are now running on tho line, bringing large freights, not only to this city, but to Augusta, Atlanta, Colum? bia and Charlotte, showing that in spite of compe? tition, the natural advantages of Charleston were known and appreciated in the interior. Mr. COURTENAY alluded to the singular unanim? ity shown by the native and adopted sons of old Charleston, in returning to her in her misfortunes, when fire had scourged her, and shot and shell had torn her dear old homos. Like tho dwellers in the vale at the foot of Vesuvius thoj all "Though floods of lava desolate thc plain, Had turned, enchanted, to the spot again;" and, turning to Captain REED, said, hero is ono from the land of HERMAN and SCHILLER, who, free to go any where, yot came back to his old homo, willing to share its adversity, as in happier days he enjoyed its generous kindness. Mr. DAWSON, of the Mercury, in response to a toast to the Press, took occasion to pay a glowing tribute to Baltimore and her peoplo; having dur? ing tte war, as a prisoner, often experienced their kindness and large-hearted liberality. There were other toasts, and other speeches, and plenty of good cheer, and the very best of feeling. Altogether, the reunion was one of the most pleas? ant we have participated in during many mouthB, and all parties left tho good ship in the best of good humor, and hopeful of better times for Old Charleston. , LUMBER.-We invite attention to the advertise ment of lumber for sale by R.

The first session continues until Christmas, or for three months, and tho second until the first of ApriL or three months; the two constituting one foll course of lec? tures. Examination ot' candidates for graduation will occur at thc end of each session. Requisites for Graduation_Tho requisites for gradna- j don are three sessions of lectures, and three years study; or four sessions, including two years spent at the Uni? versity. The System of Medicine Taught.-Tho University is a I liberal medical school, in which all branches of medicine j and surgery are taught, including the preparatory studies, without regard to any sectarian views. Hence, while they deprecate the exclusiveness of Allopathy, Homoeo? pathy, Eclecticism, Hydropathy, etc, they believe that all principles of cure and therapeutical agents should be taught in all well-regulated medical schools, and that every intelligent, honest, and thorough practitioner is entitled to all the courtesies and privileges of the profession, without regard to his peculiar notions in therapeutics. Fees.-The fees for oil branches, including all the tickets, matriculation, and dissection, are $60 a session, or $120 per year. Those who purchase tickets only have j to matriculate once, which makes the second session $55, including demonstrator's fees, or $115 for a full course. To aid young men of moderate means, the University ! has issued five hundred scholarships, which are sold to first-course students, for S75, and to second-course stu? dents and clergymen for $50, each constituting the holder ! a life member, with the perpetual privileges of the lee- [ titres, and all the teachings of the school. The only ad? ditional fees are a yearly dissecting and matriculating ticket, each of which is $5. The Advantages of Scholarships.-The student holding a scholarship can enter the College at any time during ! the year, attend os long as he chooses, and re-enter the j Institution as frequently as desired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence adi private tuition fees are saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can prosecute other | business a part of the time. Thc candidato for graduation can present himself at any time, and receive rda degree as Boon aa qualified. Li case a student should hold a scholarship and not be I able to attend lectures, it can be transferred to another, thus preventing any loss. Parents, guardians or friends of students wishing to ] purchasa^cholarships for them a year or more before their attendance at the University,. can secure them by advancing one-half the price and paying the balance when the student enters. Physicians and benevolent men can bestow great benefit upon poor young men by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them to obtain an honorable profession. THE EEQTJXJAB FACULTY.
