SATURDAY MORNINC . JANUARY 5, 18C7.
LOCAL MATTERS.
' To OUR SUBSCRIBERS.-We would fall tho attcn
tion of thoso who aro indobtod to us Ihvonebont
tho country, that tho old year is closing and their
account? aro not yet settled. Tho price of sub?
scription is not largo, and will not be missed from
their plethoric pockets. Tho first of January has
long boon celebrated as :i div sot apart for closing
old accounts, aud wo would not hare our friends
depart from thia timo-honored custom. Money is
the motivo power of every ontcrpriso, and news?
papers aro no exception, and we resp-'elfidly ask
our country subscribers to cash up and commence
the new year with a clear record.
MAYOR'S COURT, January 1_A Teuton, who had
struck a female a severe blow ou tho forchoad with
a barrol stave, was sent to a Magistrate for prose?
cution.
A gang of negroes, rather above the ordinary
run, who nro on their way to Florida, but who ap
pliod for lodgings for tho night at tho Guard
House, in consequence of the inclemency of the
weather, wero brought up and discharged.
An individual without homo or money, who was
sick, was sent to the hospital.
MT, ZION INSTITUTE.-WO publish in THE NEWS
of this morning, the advertisement of the above
named institution. No grammar school in tho
Stato is bettor known than old Mt Zion, rendered
illustrious by Mr. Hudson's long and officient ser?
vices. Its alumni aro found in ovory Stato of the
South, and adorning every walk of Ufo. Winns
boro is a pleasant community, and parents and
guardians, seeking a good school, cannot do hot?
ter than place their children and wards undor Mr.
?Woodward's charge.
THE CHANGE_Tho high wind of Thursday
night blew away thc heavy clouds which havo
hung over na for uioio than a week, and yesterday
morning opened as brightly and prottily as any
ono could desire. The suu came out with a bril?
liancy and a warmth that was exhilarating, and
the ladies, following his example, filled our streets,
and ornamentod the railway cars with their pres?
ence, looking as if they wore delighted wita tho
great change. Thc unusual spell of bad weather
from which wc have just emerged no doubt makes
us all enjoy tho present timo with a zest, and tho
fine prospects of a continued view of the blue sky
is really encouraging. The streets are already be?
ginning to dry, and wo feel satisfied that thoy will
present to-day' an array of beauty that will palpi?
tate tho heart of many a bachelor.'
EAST BAT.-Tho appearance of this old thor?
oughfare has been considerably improved lately,
the upper portion hos boen substantially paved,
and though the lower part is now but a sea of
slush, yet the sand and stones that lino tho sides
are abundant proof that it will soon bo in tho same
fine condition along its entire length. A day of
clear sunshine has already aided the cause, and
tie exertions of tho street brigade, who, spade in
hand, were busy at an early hour clearing i he
mud from the crossings, have been crowned with
success. The city authorities deserve credit for
coming to the chirge so promptly, and in rescuing
their ways from a muddy oblivion.
East Bay is fast regaining her laurels. Tho
wharves are crowded with cotton, and tho conse?
quent travel of loaded drays is almost what it was
in her palmiest days. Unfortunately but few of
the streets leading to thc wharves are paved, but
if the factors and merchante in those localities
?would unite and have a few cort loads of old
bricks thrown thore, it would effect a manifest
improvement .and be gratefully rocoived- by' tho
dravmen, who now flounder despairingly in lie
mud.
THE COLOBED STRIKE.-A nurnbor of freedmen
employed on thc wharves to load and discharge
the cargoes of vessels in port, carno to the conclu?
sion yesterday morning that the laborer was
?worthy of his hire, and modestly stated that two
dollars per day was thc amount of said litre, and
nothing lower would Buit. Their employers not
acceding to this moderate request, the sable work?
men, emulating their white brethren at the North,
struck-i. e., refused to strike a lick until their de?
mand should be complied with. Falling into line,
they marched to the old Post?nico and sat down
upon the steps, with a determined air. Their he?
roism is almost unparalleled in thc annals of his?
tory, and they seem fully determined to make
themselves martyrs for conscience" sake. Sambo
is now his own master, and can work or play gen?
tleman, as he pleases; but he will soon find th it
his high notions won t pay, and that half a loaf is
better than no bre id. j There are numbers of freed?
men in the city who will not turn up their noses
(if such a manouvre wore possible) at $1.50 a day,
and we would advise the strikers to reconsider tue
matter and return to tho fold, as the year of jubi?
lee has not yet arrived, when partridges fly ready
roasted into colored gentlemen's facial openings.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT-Hon. GEORGE
S. BRIAN presiding Judge.-The hearing of the
case of MeCfiEA and others vs. The Bank of
Charleston and others.
L. W. Spratt, Esq., delivered his argument,
which consumed tho whole morning. He spoke
of the nature of banking institutions and their pe?
culiar liabilities, and quoted nevoral cases that
boro upon the point in question. He proved that
the officers elected wero tho representatives of the
stockholders, and, as such, were liable for the
funds of tho bank, and the creditors or bill holders
?were legally entitlod to demand payment from
them, lt was necessary, undor these circumstan?
ces, that the Court should take tho case in hand
and appoint parties who, as trustees, would pro?
perly dispose of tho fund on baud, lt was notori?
ous that the bank was insolvent, for the buis were
worth but twenty cents on the dollar when sold on
the street, and tho stockholders did not consider
themselves responsible for the payment of their
bills.
Formerly the bank paid money whon demanded,
and performed all of its legal functions; but it had
long ceased to be considered the custodian of mo?
neys entrusted to it. It had practically violated tho
trust assumed, and thcro was little doubt that the
fund in hand was used to defeat tho legal claims
against it. He thought that the officers were able
and just, but they had no aut hority to back them,
and ne again demanded that thc Court should take
the matter in hand, and let thc officers hold their
position and take their orders from the Court.
Much of the time was occupied in citing similar
cases and giving tho authority for tho decisions.
The further hearing of tho case will be resumed
to-morrow.
TaE SOOTHERS POEMS or THE WAR, collected and ar?
ranged by Misa EMILY V. MASON. Baltimore: John
Murphy A Co., Publishers.
The Editor in tho preface says : "Besides a
memorial volume, to preservo thoso songs, expres?
sive of the hopes and triumphs and sorrows of a
lost cause, I have another design-to aid by its salo
the education of the daughters of our desolate
land; tb fit a certain number for teachers, that
they may take to their homes and spread amongst
the Southern States thc knowledge of those accom?
plishments which else may be denied them."
It was our privilege and pleasure, during tho
war, to be personally oequainted with Miss Mason.
A true sister cf charity,-although she belong?
ed to no religions Ordor. She was Chiof Matron at
one of the divisions of the Winder Hospital, near
Richmond, and hero she had a fine field for thc
exercise of her large hearted benevolence.
It is quite in keeping with her character that as
fast as one task is finished sho should enter upon
anew one. Her work, going about and doing good,
now has brought her before the public as tho spon?
sor of a volume of Southern War Poetry ; and we
hope our friends and readers will buy thc book for
the ?ake of the object its Editor has in view. - This
much we say before having examined the table of
contents even ; onlooking over which we find many
of cur familiar acquaintances, and somo, also, stran?
gers to ns. Among the former we recognize John
A. Wagoner, Paul H. Hayns, Mrs. Farley, Wm. D.
Porter, Mrs, C. A. Ball [1 he Lonely Grave-For?
get,'Never ! and The Jacket of Grey], Miss Marie
Lacoste, Henry Timrod, W. Gilmore Simms, M.
M., Dr. Ford, and others.
The Southern Poems of the War will bo a phras?
ing memorial of thc late unfortunate struggle, and
should find its way to every household.

A FEW WORDS OF COMMON
SENSE.
How few there aro who arc not subject to nomo affection
of tho lungs or respiratory organs, who, bv neglecting
premonitory symptoms, aggravate tho complaint, until
diseaso strikes its shafts, causing inexpressible torture
of thc patient, and anxiety and aistrcRs to frlonds. "Only
a cold!" "A slight sore throat!" is thc heedless remark
of many when sn affected. Ves ; "Only a cold," waa the
thoughtless expression of thousands whom Doath has
marked for his prey.
Forewarned-Forearmed ! should be tho motto forever
in tho minds of all subj<?t to Coughs, Colds. Catarrh, or
Influenza. Words of advice should be hooded by all sul
fcring from Asthma. Bronchitis, Consumption. Relief is
within their roach; and. ii' neglected, fatal consequences
ensue-a life of miriery-a daily, hourly struggle f?tf
latence. A contest in which thcro can bo but ono victor.
-Death !
Does it not appal tho strongest mind, to thiuk > i the
result caused by neglect? Then why delay? .? hat ex?
cuse can bc offered, when timely warning!* i funded to
your ears? When tho danger ls pointed itt, whynot
avoid lt? MARSDEN-? PECTORAL BALM HS been used
with Bucees? ia nearly a million of caso?, nd ls endorsed
by tho Medical Faculty as thc most prompt an? effica?
cious remedy that sdeutinc rosoarjo has discovered, to
relieve and cure all cases of Co jghs. Colds, Influenza,
and Consumption, if thc case is not beyond all hope.
Even when the sufferer is i i tho last stages, he will find
relief by using this prop rra?on. One bottle will con?
vince the most Incredulous, that the merits of this prepa?
ration aro by no means exaggerated -, in fact, fall fftr Bhort
of the eulogies bestowed upon it by thousands who have
boen cured by its : imcly une. A guarantee accompanies
each bottle and dealers arc instructed in every instance
to refund the moncj* when this preparation fails to re?
lieve.
