_TOTJRSDYY MORNING, JANUARY 3 LOCAL MATTEB To OUR SUBSCRIBERS. -We would call don of those who arc indebted to us tl the country, that tho old year is closing accounts aro not -yet settled. Tho prie scriptum is not largo, and will not bo mi! their plethoric pockets. Tho first of Jai long been celebrated as a div sot apart fe old accounts, and we would not havo or depart from this timo-houored custom, the motivo power of every ontorprise,- a papers are no excoptiou, and we r?sped our country subscr bers to cash up and cc tho new year with a clear record. NEW GERMAN CHULXTI.-A'meeting v last night at the German Lutheran Churcl Hasel and Anson streets, to devise w means for tbc building of a new chu ci Wo were pleased to eec a general inter?s fested on thc subject by our German fe! zens, as evinced by the largo number of present. Wo expect to givo a full repoi proceedings in our next issue. IMPROVEMENT.-The sidewalk ia front GEORGE. MELDAU'S building, at the cc Meeting and Queen streets, has been cons: improved by a pavement of red brick. A fi walk is inseparably connected with a ne^ and the neat appearance of the one recei will render tho building more attractive, t bring increased custom to both Mr. Wo: and Mr. SCHRODER. OUT city is atpresent tably destitute of pavements of any dose and every improvement upon tho uneven cc of our ways, whether by public or private ] will be considered as a step in the right dh THE NEW Cnossnio.^-Broad street was hi yesterday, and a stranger might have ti that the year of Jubilee had- come, judgin the pleased countenances that wero seen corner of Broad street and East Bay, inst the operations of tho workmen engaged in a atone crossing at the intersection of streets. This enterprise has been long n for that end of Broad street has been almo in the mud that has mado that section a j boggy bay. It will also answer admirabl, breastwork to the City Railroad, and will pr the cars from running off the track. Tho p: crossing is composed of square blocks of gi that will stand as long aa tho world rocki only need to ho seon to be appreciated. Th rainy day will dev elop tho resources of this derful institution, as passengers can then the opposite shore without tacking. Our City Fathers have immortalized themi by this transaction, and in future floods thei be many who will arise and call them blessed ABOUT THE MOON.-Every ono is familial the singular phenomenon known aa "t :e now carrying the old moon in her arms," when, i ditton to the slender crescent, the wholo d more or less distinctly visiblo a few days aftei moon; tho same appearance, or " tho old i nursing the now," presents itself in liko maur, the waning moon when she rises a few hour fore the sun. This is called the lumiere cen or ashlight of tho moon. Its appearance us< be taken as an indication that the moon was \ phorescont, or possessed some light of her independent of that she receives from thc Now, however, it is satisfactorily proved to ? from tho sunlight reflected from the earth i the dark moon; for it must he remembered the earth is to the moon what the moon is tc earth, a reflector of the sun's light, and that v it is new moon to ?? earth, it is full earth to moon, and dee versa; and thus the opaquo n becomes illuminated by earth light-to use a i analagous to m:onlight; but on account of great size of thc earth compared to the moon, light is fourteen times as bright as our moonli and thus the occasional brilliancy of the rcflec is accounted for.

MAYOR'S COURT, January 16.-Rebecca Caldwell, a dusky damsel, who had called at the house oi Susan Jefferson, a "lady of cullur," to see thc husband of the said Susan, and so raised tho dander of the'married woman that she launched a volley of epithets and threats againet the maiden, that would have knocked her over if her feet had not furnished lier with so solid a foundation, and then shook her fist directly in front of her eves at the end of the proboscis, and basely and loudly termed her "a nigger," which the virgin was not expected to on dure, but to appeal pathetically to the laws for redress, which she did, and had tho female head of a household mulct in the sum of $5 for her "imperance." Ben Getts, who was playing with a bottle as black as himself, and smelling thc cork till he got giddy, was fined $5 for tumbling against people in the street. An individual, who had left his drays all night in the cold, was made to pay $5 for tho usc of tho street. One of those men who have never been drank before, but who meet with splendid success in their first effort, was up for occupying too much of the side walk, was fined $5, and advisod to go back to first principles. WELCH'S FURNISHING STORE.-HUB popular es? tablishment, devoted exclusively to thc improve? ment cf thc personal appearance of gentlemen, we are happy to see has been again opened, under tho management and control of tho same indvid nal who, since 1819, has given so much satis? faction to, and treated with such courtesy, tho people of Charleston. Mr. WELCH and his storo are so well known to all. and his goods of all kinds so celebrated, that a reference to the advertise? ment of his reopening, with a full slock, similar to that which lined Iiis shelves in former days, will he sufficient io make his numerous friends pay ft im as frequent visits as they did in times that's Pout- I .sk THE ORPHANS' FEAST.-In answer to a polite vitation from Rev. F. J. SHADLER, we repai early yesterday afternoon to Hibernian Hall to sist at the "Orphans' Feast." A more pleas sight we have saldoin witnessed than greeted i eyes on entering the Hall. In tho gallery abi the dais wore tho Italian Harpers, so well kno in our community, enlivening ihe occasion, at tervais, with strains of sweetest music. Down i centro of tho long hall a table was laid, covei with everything calculated to tempt a child's ap tite. and seated all round the table were ht girls of every size, inmates of the Sister's Orpl Asylum, all looking ihe vory picture of conto [Thoy had been eating for some time when arrived.] They locked bright, happy, andw cared fer. Around them, in every directi< were llittiug littlo ministering angels, the bc and girls of the St. Paul's Catholic Chm Sunday School, who, mindful of the heavenly pi ccpt implied in tho Saviour's words-"The Pc yo have always with you,"-had prepared this fet for the little fatherless children. The littlo min tors on this symposium looked "big" with a cc sciousnoss of their importance, and did full cre( to the blue rosettes, designating them as the Coi mittee of Arrangements. There was an air o.f ea grace in all their movements, and in their benev lent nion we could read their anxiety to do ever thing possible for their orphan guests. We ha never seen a more-beautiful living sermon on ? Holy Apostle's text: "Little children, love oi another." The choir of the Sunday School, a few boys ai girls, sang "The Orphan's Prayer," with gre pathos, and a sweet, touching melody. Aft which the Committee proceeded to the distribute of the presents, which were spread on a tab standing on the dais. Every child was provide for, and all retired from tho feast happy in tl blissful innocence of childhood, and with all the wants supplied. What is there in naturo so genial and cheerh as a band of happy children ? And we have seldoi seen a brighter group than filled the old Hall ye: terday. To the Rev. Mr. SHADLEE, the Pastor . St. Paul's German Catholic Church, in Sociel street, much of tho credit of this charming feai is due; for his energy and kindly, thoughtful bei evolence, we doubt not, was largely instrument: in bringing it about. In the evening the ontii parly were taken to their home, in the northwes: ern part of the city, on the cars of tho City Rai way. Tho 16th of January, 1867, is a white day i tho orphans' calendar.

M. tho members of the Society and invited guests marched down stairs into flu Hall of the Frcundschaftsbund, whero a sumptu? ous repast had been prepared by Tully, tho re? nowned caterer, uUimus Homanorum. At the head of tho table sat the President of the Society, Alderman JACOB SMALL, to. his right, Rev. JOHN BACHMAN, D. D., and C. H.

After tho viands had been freely discussed, and the fullest credit dono to the rare Nierstoiner, Hochhoimer, Asmanshauser, and Jo hannisbcrger, so liberally provided by the con? noisseur stewards, and committee of supplies, tho President arose and offered the first regular toast : "The Day we Celebrate: Inaugurated by charity and good fellowship. May it be perpetual." Music-"Von der Alpo teeni das Horn." Prof. DAUEB'S delightful band added very much to the enjoyment of tho evening.

Tho third regular toast : Our Homes: " Native and adopted,-equally dear to our affections in prospority and adversity." Music-"Home sweet Home." The President then rose and said : "I take pleasure in rroposing the health of tho oldest member of our Societv, our semi-centennial and centennial orator: May his useiul life be long spared, and his presence continue to cheer the hearts around our festive board." The entire company assembled around the board received this sentiment with tho greatest enthusiasm and prolonged applause. Dr. BACHMAN then rose and said : "I suppose it is oxpected of me that I should offer a few words in response to the undeserved compliment just now bestowed upon me. Fifty-two years ago, when a very youug man, I was invited to become thc -orator of the German Friendly Society, and last year, at your centennial anniversary, I was again permitted to address you. I carno to you in my youth, and I have lived among you an old man. In your prosperity I rejoiced,-and I mourned with you in your adversity. Your losses bore hoavily on me. I found you a small body,-you have now more than double the number of mem? bers you had when I first joinod your society. I pray that God may still continue to prosper this institution, and preserve the fife, principles and mc raia of its membership ; may you continue in the race of charity, and may we all ai last bo joined together in Heaven, in brotherly love around tho throne of tbo Redeemer." Music-"Then you'll remember me." The next toast offered was by H. B. OLNEY, Usa. Our sister Societies: In promoting the noola ob? ject of charity, wo wish thom God ??peed. ROBERT MURE, Esq., President of tho St. An? drew's Society, responded to this toast in a happy manner, complimenting the officers of the German Friendly Society upon the zeal and energy wilh which they have discharged their duties. He in? ferred, at least, that they had done so, for tho number of accessions to their membership is al? most unprecedented.! He concluded by saying: "We are in one cause, and can never he rivals, ex? cept in doing good, and in acts of charity:" H. B. OLNEY, Esq., next offered tho following: The Stale of Soutli Carolina: Ever ready in de? fence of the Cousiit'ition, and in obedience to the laws. Sho is best represented by those who repre? sent her. C. H. SIMONTON, Esq., a member of the Society, being called upon, responded in his usual happy manner, and concluded by offering in his turn : "South Carolina: Under all circumstances we will prove that we are her true-hearted children." Music-Dixie. Mr. L. B. LOVEGREEN proposed the .following : "The Freundschaftsbund: Linked to us by kin? dred associations of the past, endeared to us by those ties of friendship which unite the Vater? land, we greet them with emotions of reverence and esteem." Th? Prosident of tho Fremidschaftsbund, Mr. JOHN SIEGLING, being absent, Mr. SMALL, at his request, read the following sentiment, left him by Mr. SIEGLING : "The Memory of Dr. Philip Tidyman, tho bo novolent contributor to our charity fund : May his last and generous bequest bc realized. ' Music-Air from Masaniollo. ALFRED H. DUNKIN, Esq., offered tho following : "The Press: The guago of liberty. Liberty without license-conservatism without radical? ism." Responded to by G. R.

BARKER, Esq., his late Adjutant, in a most eloquent and feeling manner.

TT7HTLE IT CONTAINS LESS AMMONIA, IT HAS VT nearly twiae tho quantity of Phosphate of Lune, 15 per cent of which is immediately soluble. Its effects on Cotton tho past season have, In many instances, ex? celled Peruvian Guano. It has in no case proved less ac? tive in tho early growth of tho crop. When drought in? tervenes tho crop does not suffer from its use as is tho case ?dth Peruvian Guano. By reason of the presence in it of so large aper cent of Phosphate of Limo its use im? proves tho soil to an oxtent that cannot be realized from Peruvian Guano. Every cargo of this Guano is subjected to rigid ? Inspec? tion analysis, and is sold on a basis ef actual value. .

EES to tho above as a superior inanuro for either' Corn or Cotton, thc exporienro of last year proving it equal if not superior to Peruvian Guano. The following is the report of an analysis made from a lot now in Htoro: Phosphate of Lime, soluble.. 8.20 Phosphate of Lime, insoluble.28.80 -37.00 Sulphate of Limo and traces of Sulphate of Ammonia, Potash, Soda and Magnesia, with some free Sulphuric Acid, about. Hygrometic Water expelled at 212 degroes.... Combined Water (a portion of this belongs to tlie Phosphate of Limo, which was esti? mated after its ignition; the greater part of balance is doubtless associate I with tho Animal Matter) and Animal Matter. Silica (Sand). 100.00 The Animal Matter, as might be supposed in a fertilizer so largely derived from Ssh, is less highly nitrogeniaed than that in the Peru ?ian Guano. Still ic will afford, du? ring tho process of decomposition, about three per cent of Ammonia. Tho Oil (which ls romarLably abundant) though not generally reckoned among Manures, being hero associated with other less stablo animal principles, cannot faU of adding to tho value of the mixture, espe? cially on light soils. Tho insoluble Phosphate being thoroughly organized and, at tho same time, minutely d i vid er], ls also well adapted to a gradual appropriation by thc plant According lo the present samplo, COE'S SUPER PHOSPHATE is a judiciously and faithfully manufac? tured Manure, and will not disappoint tboso who will give it u trial. Even if employed alone, I should expect highly remunerative resulfs. (Signed) CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD. Price $65 por ton of 2000 pounds. For salo by E. H. RODGERS k CO., Solo Agents for South Carolina.
