MILTON'S PARADISE LOST_The repr?sentation
of tho ililtonian Tableaux attracted quito a large
uudionco last night, and tho Hibernian Hall WSB
comfortably filled. The theino was ono well wor?
thy of botli tho poet and thc painter. Some of tho
Heenes were very attractive, and tho lecturer being
thoroughly au fait iu his part, rendered tho de?
lineations far moro appreciable by his apt quota?
tions. Tho painting is not without merit, and tho
interest increases as successive wonders aro un?
folded to tho view. The Sattoring reception paid
this Panorama on ita provioua visit ia being re?
peated, and thc numbors t!;at now attend show
that it has created a reputation which fully repays
n second visit.

THE OKAKOEBrmo NEWS.-A vory handsomely
printed prospectus has been laid upon our table,
announcing thc publication in February of a new
weekly newspapor in Orangeburg, S. C. Mr.
CHARLES H. HALL will bo tho publisher, and
SAMUEL DIBBLE, Esq., the editor. Wo havo known
Mr. DIBBLE for many years, and have long had an
intuitive conviction thal bo was sufforing from an
attack of cacocllies newspapor-scribencie. We are
glad, therefore, that he now has a fair prospect of
an early cure. Mr. D. is a thorough scholar, and,
in our opinion, one of the most promising young
juett iu tho Staio, and we have, therefore, no doubt
that tho ?Vetes will bo eminently successful. We
need not say that he baa our heartiest wishes for
tho success of thia new enterprise.
FIRE.-About half-past ?oven P. M. yesterday a
smoko was observed proceeding from Mrs. S.
J. COTCHETT'S Fashion Emporium, King street,
over BEAD'S. The Chief was at once notified, and
was promptly on the spot. Tho firemen turned
out in force, and, in a few minutes after the alarm
bad been a jrtnded, every eugine was present.
Tho fire had apparently originated in a closet on
the second floor, and the damage by the flames
was confined to that and the adjoining room ; but
tho heavy deluge of water that was thrown upon
the building swept every thing before it. Mrs.
COTCHETT'S ?tock waa almost completely ruined ;
and although Mr. BEAD succeeded in saving some
goods, they were all in a damaged condition. Mr.
QUEHBX'S Daguefroan Gallery also suffered con?
siderably from i ho waler.
Tho force with which tho water was thrown into
the brtilding was sufficient to toar down the lath?
ing and to break through tho floors, thus com?
pletely drenching Mr. BEAD'S stock in tho lower
story. Duiing tho progress of tho fire a steam
engine was stationed on the track in King street,
and for some time created an effectual blockade,
preventing the cars from either side from continu?
ing their trips.

COHMtiNTOATlON WITH FLORIDA-At the recent
session of the Legislature of this State, a charter
was granted to the Charleston and Florida Steam
Packet Company. They have opened their books
of subscription at the office of Messrs. J. D. AIKKN
& Co., on South Atlantic Wharves. It is of the
highest importance to this city that her commu?
nications with Florida should be placed on a first
class footing.
That State, from ber happy position and the
variety of bor productions, is at present attracting
a heavy immigration, which will, at an early
period, moko her exportable products large and
valuable. Carolinians aro scattered all over tho
State, and they much profer to transact ? their
business with this city, but in order to do so tho
means of transportation between lbs places must
be reliable nnd rapid.
In addition to the valuable trade of Florida,
wbich is large and growing, some New York capi?
talista, among whom aro Messrs. C. VANDERBILT,
M. O. BOBEBTS, and others, have secured posses?
sion of the railroad leading from Fernandina, on
thc Atlantic, to,Cedar Keys, on tho Gulf ol Mexico.
The railroad is to be placed in first rate order, and
' at the Gulf terminus there will be several lines of
steamships leaving, at regular intervals, for Nica?
ragua, Havana and New Orleans. This route will
be a favorite ono for passengers to California, tho
West Indies, and all the ports on the Gulf of Mexi?
co. The travel and traffic will necessarily be heavy,
as it avoids tho difficult and dangerous passage
arouund tho southern point of Florida.
This company purposes placing Charleston in
this lino of travel, and for that purpose have al?
ready secured tho service of the superior steam?
ship Dictator, Captain COXXTTKR, which has boon
running on ibo route for some months, and which
is without a superior for spood and comfort. The
elegant and very fast steam ship Oily Point ia to
be added shortly to the Une, and this city wm bo
placod in semiweekly communication with the
most important points in Florida, The Dictator,
since she has been runnr?g, has been remarkably
successful, and tho samo prosperity may be ex?
pected for the- City Point. All of our r ci tizona
who are anxious to greatly cnlargo a line of trade
of vost importance to the city, and who can spare
the money,- will bs doing a good work to subscribe
to this company.

tures much discolored and swollen. Called in Drs.
Mitchell, Michel, and Winthrop, who were in at?
tendance during illness. Commenced investiga?
tion on the 28th Jane and concluded on 5th of July.
Examined eomo twenty witnesses, and totk the
testimony of two colored women, who, on b*?ing
; ken to" tho jail, identified tho prisoners as tho
ringleaders who had inflicted the injuries. The
ivomcn wore named Kate Kennedy and Sarah
Brown.
Cross-Examined.-The verdict was rendered on
tho 5th of July, and tho women gave their testimony
it that investigation, or the 29th June. Sarah Brown,
iud on tho 3d, Kate. They knew tho first names
}f prisoners, but not their surmanes. Ho had ex
inuncd about nino witnesses beforo ho took tho
ivomcn to jail. Other witnesses identified thc pris?
oners before that time. Went to the house about
> A. M., and found the body as described.
Dr. Henry Wmthrop deposed that ho is a prac?
ticing physician, and was called in on June last.
>n Sunday overling, to see B. M. Brantford at his
other's house. Ho was weak from the blows re?
solved and from the loss of blood. The wound was
m the top of the head, about four inches above tho
ight eyebrow; he had a sovoro contusion on tho
.ight jaw, which was much swollen and discolored.
Che two principal blows wero those mentioned; but
ie had bruises on his taco and chin which must
lave reen inflicted by . eparate blows; continued to
ittend tho case with Dr. Mitchell until death; he
lied from the wounds.
Cross-Examined.-The blood was from tho prin
:ipal wound on the head; that, with tho wound on
he temple, extending to tho right jaw, caused tho
leath; wound on head caused the fracturo of
ikull; patient lived until Wednesday afternoon;
vound on head apparently inflicted by a brick or
(tick, but could not say positively; was evidently
lot inflicted with a sharp instrument.
Dr. Mitchell deposed that he was called in the
norning (early) after tho occurrence; regarded
?tient as in a dying condition; state of wounds
lame as described by Dr. Winthrop; there was a
luffusion of blood on tho I rain, caused by the
racture and breaking of some blood vessel; died
m Wodnosday night, and tho doath was caused by
ho wounds received. Tho wound on tho skull cans
.1 the fracture, which led, in a great measure, to
he death; at the post-mortem examination found
, quantity of blood between tho membrano of the
irain; the wounds were evidently inflicted by some
lull instrument, such as a brick or stick.
Cross-Examined.-Could not say at what dis
anco the person inflicting the wound was from tho
lecoosed, but was evidently done by a brick: tho
lerson must havo been near, from "tho nature of
ho skull wound; presumes deceased had fallen,
nd the wound was inflicted while prostrate; the
rounds on the side of thc head might have been
nflicted while lying o-j his back.
Dr. Middleton Michel deposed that ho was called
a on Thursday, the 28th of June, to assist in the
ost-mortem examination. "Found tho face very

learuncc of face and neck indicated a contusion,
lot an incision. The principal wound was in foro
load, about four inches from right oye, and on ro
aoving the skull cap, clotted blood was found,
rhich had formed a membrane. On the frortal
lone was a fracture of considerable extent, travel?
ing upwards and downwards and latter<,lly. Big
pinion was that from tho character of the" wound
I was inflicted by a weapon coming from a dis?
auce, as there was no depression of the bone.
The brain was highly congested, and had a clot ol
ilood imbedded in the brain propor. The wounds
rere quite sufficient to produce death, and were
ividently caused by a missile thrown, and frort
ong experience knows that a blow given near b\
Loprcsses the bone.
Cross-Examined_Wound on fcrehead was ovei
he right eye, about four inches, and evidently th<
now carno from above downward. Statod who:
vas his opinion of the wound at tbe time of inves
igation. The appearance of the wound would no
lavo beon altered if the porty receiving it was pros
.rate, but the missile was evidently thrown fron
lome little distance, and forming a parabolic curv
?ame upon the sk jil in a descending direction.

A FEW WORDS OF COMMON
SENSE.
How few thcro are who are not subject to some affection
of the lungs or respiratory or0-nna, who, by neglecting
premonitory symptoms, aggravate thc complaint, until
disease strikes its shalt?, causing inexpressible torture
of the patient, and anxiety and distress to friends. "Only
a cold I" "A slight Boro throatl" is tho I?-*Bess remar::
of many when BO affected. Yes ; "Only <- cold," was the
thoughtless expression of thousands whom Death has
marked for his prey.
Forewarned-Forearmed I should bo the motto forover
in the minds of all subject to Coughs, Colds, Catarrh, or
Influenza. Words of advice should be heeded by all sul?
fating from Asthma, Dronchilis, Consumption. Relief ia
within their reach; and, if neglected, fatal consequences
ensue-a lifo of misery-a daily, hourly stmgglo for ex?
istence. A contest in which there can bo but one vlctor
-Death 1
Docs it not appal tho strongest mind, to think of the
result caused by neglect? Then why delay? Wltttox
cuso can bo offered, when timely warning is soundod m
your ears? When the danger is pointed out, why not
avoid lt? MAUSDEN'S PECTORAL BALM has been used
with success in nearly a million of coses, and ls endorsed
by tho Medical Faculty os tho mose i romut and etiles
cious rcme/ty .^ouuau .uauar^i has discovered, to
relieve and cure all cases of Co u-hs. Colds, Influenza,
and Consumption, if tho caso is not beyond all hope.
Even when the sufferer is i i thc laBt stages, he will find
relief by using this prop mition. One bottle will con?
vince tho most incr?dulo.ts, that the moritr. ot* this prepa?
ration aro by no means exaggerati-d ; in fact, fall far short
of tho eulogies bestowed upon it by thousands who have
been cured hy Its : iruely uso. A gusrantco accompanies
each bottle ?nd dealers are Instructed in every instance
to refund tho money when this preparation fails to re?
lieve.
