SATURDAY MOIUONG, JANUARY 5,lSt?7. LOCAL MATTERS. To om*. SUBSCRIBERS.-Wo would call tho alton tion of those who aro indobtod to us tbronghout tho conner}-, that thc old yoar is closing and thoir accounts aro not yet settled. Tho price of sub . 8cription is not large, and will not be missed from their plethoric pockets. The first of January has long beon celebrated as a, day sot apart for cloning old accounts, and wo would not havo our f rionds depart from this time-honored custom. Money is the motive power of every enterprise, and news? papers Rte no exception, nnd wo respectfully ask our country subscr hers-to cash up and con un unco the new year with a clear record. MAYORS CUDET, January d.-A Teuton, who had struck a fournie a severe blow on tho forohoad with a barrel stave, was sent to a Magistrate for prose? cution. A gang of negroes, rather above tho ordinary ran, who arc on their wav to Florida, but who ap? plied for lod?:iugK for thc night at the Guard 15 House, in consequence of the inclemency of the weather, were brought up find discharged. An individual without homo or monoy, who was sick, was sent to tho hospital. MT. ZION INSTITCTE. -WO publish in THE NEWS of this morniug, the advertisement of thc above named institution. No grammar school in thc State ie better known than old Mt Zion, rendered illustrious by Mr. Hudson's long aud efficient ser? vices. Its alumni a'e found in every State of the . -"'South, and adorning every walk of lifo. Winns boro is a pleasant community, and paronts and guardians, seeking :i good school, cannot do bet? ter than place theil children and wards under Mr. Woodward's charge. THE CHANGE.-The high wind of Thursday night blew away tho heavy clouds which have hung ovar na for more than a week, and yesterday morning opened as brightly and prettily as any one could desire. TV- sun came out with a bril? liancy and a warmth that was exhilarating, and the .ladies, following his example, filled our streets, and ornamented thc railway cars with their pres? ence, looking as if they were delighted wita the great change. The unusual spell of bad woathcr from which we have just emerged no doubt makes us all er joy the present time with a zest, and tho fina prospects or a continued view of tho blue sky is really encouraging. The streets are already be? ginning to dry, and wo feel satisfied that they will {'resent to-day an array of beauty that will palpi ate the heart of many a bachelor. EAST BAY.-The appcarauco of this old tbor ough&ro has been considerably improved lately, the upper portion has Leen substantially paved, . and though the lower part is now but a sea of slush, yet tho sand and stones that linc tho sides are abundant proof that it will soon bc in tho same fine condition along ils catiro length. A day of clear sunshine has already aided the cause, and the exertions of tho street brigado, who, spade in hand, were busy at an carly hour clearing the mud from the crossings, have been crowned with success. "The c??; authorities deserve credit for I .coming co the chirge so promptly, and in rescuing their ways from a muddy oblivion. . -' East Bay ls .fast regaining her laurels. The . wharves are crowded with cotton, aud the conse? quent travel of loaded drays is almost what it was in her palmiest days. Unfortunately but few of the streets leading to the wharves are paved, but if the factors and merchants in those localities would unite., and have a few cart loads of old bricks tin-own there, it would effect a manifest improvement and be gratefully received by the draymen, who now flounder despairingly in thc mud. THE COLORED STRIKE.-A number of freedmen employed on the wharves to load and discharge the cargoes of vessels in port, carno to tho conclu? sion yesterday morning that tho laborer was worthy of bis hire, and modestly stated thai twe dollars per day wis the amount of said hire, and not h inf ; totter would suit. Their employers not acceding to this moderate request, tho 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 Postoffice and Bat down upon the steps, with a determined air. Their he? roism is almost unparalleled in the annals of his? tory, and they seem fully determined to make themselves martyrs for conscience* sake. Sambo is now bis own master, and can work br play gen? tleman, as he pleases; but bo will soon find th it bis big h notions won t pay, and that half a loaf is better than no bre id. There aro numbers of freed? men in tho city who wUl not turn up their noses (if such a manouvre were possible) at Sl.?C a dar, and we would advise tho strikers to reconsider tue matter and return to the fold, as the year of jubi? leo bas not yet arrived, when partridges fi; ready roasted into colored gontlemen's facial openings. - UNITED STATES Ontcurr C'OUBT-Hon. GEOKGE S. BB Y AN presiding Judge.-Tho hearing of the case of MCCBEA and others vs. The Bank of Charleston and others. L. W. Spratt, Esq., delivered his argument, which consumed the whole morning. He spoke of the naturo of banking institutions and their pe? culiar liabilities, and quoted several cases that boro upon tho point in question. Ho proved that the officers elected were the representatives of tho stockholders, and, as such, i.ero liable for the funds of the bank, and the creditors or bill holders were legally entitled to demand payment from them, lt was necessary, under these circumstan? ces, that the Court should take the case in hand and appoint parties who, as trustees, would :TO perlv dispose of the fund on hand, lt was notori? ous that the bank was insolvent, for the bills wore worth but twenty conto on thc dollar when sold on the street, and the stockholders did not consider themselves responsible for thc payment of their bills. ' Formerly the bank paid mon cy when demanded, and performed all of irs legal functions; but it had long ceased to be coueidored tho custodian of ! mo? neys entrusted to it. It had practically violated tho trust assumed, and there was little doubt that the fund in band was used to defeat the legal claims against it. He thought that tho officers wer o able and lust, but. they had no authority to back them, and h a again, demand cd that the Court should take the matter in hand, and let the officers hold thoir position and take thoir orders from the Court. Much, of the time was occupied in citing similar oases aud giving tho authority for the decisions. The further hearing of the case will bo resumed to-morrow.

The husband remains hoarty and ro? bust in seasons when the frail and doUcate wife droops like a rudely handled sensitive plant "Tho storm that loaves tho oak unscathed uproots tho flower." If your wife ia ailing, if sickness prostrates ter, if maternal soli? citude and care wear upon her, remember, you aro tho Heaven-appointed guardian of her health.
