BEAUTIES OF "FBTTKDOM."-Wo observed on our streets, ? day or two since, a decrepit old negro woman, whom "eating time" had nearly deprived ol the powers of locomotion, hobbling from bonne to house, begging: for a "homo;" but alas 1 for poor, aged cutty 1-none feol able, if over BO wil? ling, to incur Bach charges "for tho good tho y have done;" so she was referred to tho Poor House, to which, of coarse, she objected. Though pinched by cold and hanger, tho sable dame prelorrod a home in town. When asked how she liked free? dom, she replied, "Lor' bless yon, mossa, I was thousand times bettor off 'fore I was free-got no body to care for me now." Aye, "a thousand times bettor oft" aa a slave 1 and, before another twolvo-month, tens of thou? sands more freedmen will bo ready to make tho same declaration. "Would not the "Bureau" do well to fill some of its apartments with provisions for tho indigent, starving freedmen?-our Poor Houses cannot hold them. We will add (by way of parenthesis) that the case alluded to is by no means isolated.-Laurensvilte Herald. RETURN OF THE INDEPENDENT'S TRUMPET.-Tho silver trampet presented to tho Independent Firo Company, of this cijy, by the "Eagle, of Charles? ton, was carried off by one of General Sherman's men, who offered it for sale, last summer, to a philanthropie gentleman, "Wm. Smith, Esq., s commission merchant, doing business at No. 502 Ninth street, "Washington city, but a native of New Hampshire. This gentleman purchased it, with the intention of returning it to the company. A former citizen of Columbia, on passing Mr. Smith's store saw the trumpet, and recognizing it, offered to parchase it, and said he would raise thc funds in the city among his .rienda and acquaint? ances. Mr. Smith declined selling it. but stated bis intention of returning it to the firemen, free of expense, on the first favorable opportunity. This intelligence being communicated to the Presi? dent of the Company, at bis request: Gov. Orr, on bis recent visit to Washington, called ca Mr. Smith and received the trumpet. The soldier who carried oft the trophy, we under? stand, said that he got possession of it "after the fight m the streets of Columbia.'' As there was no fight in the streets, this is simply a-mistake. The trumpet had been taken charge of by a faith? ful old slave of the President of tho Company, and as she was going down stairs with it, covered up with some clothing, a Boldier caught at the basket and attempted to wrest it from her; the good old negro resisted, when be deliberately kicked her down the steps-she receiving injuries from which she was confined to her bed several weeks. This is th-) true history of the gallant capturo of the sa}d trumpet. W? J* yesterday, at the ri?, o? T. Tr. 'radcliffe, Esq., and, under the manipulations of young Mr. B., it looks as bright md as new os when it came from the hands of the manufacturers-Messrs. Ball, Black & Co., of New York.-Columbia Phoenix. A gentleman was picked np in the streets of Sa? vannah a few nights ago, by the police, who put iT'T in the guard house under the charge of "drunk and helpless, friends called to see him, among whom was a physician. The chief police officer told the Doctor there was no use to see the patient before morning, as he was in good charge; - would be all right next morning. The Doctor, being a personal friend, insisted on seeing the pa? tient, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the policemen. On examination the poor man WHS round dead, having been attacked with apoplexy, although strictly abstemious and temperate. [Carolinian. A DAMNO OUTRAGE.-We learn that on Thurs? day, 81st ultimo, two men went to the house of Mr. Jesse French, who lives in the lower part of this District, about twenty-eight miles from the Court House, and, with a drawn pistol at his head, demanded his moles, which were then in harness attached to a wagon. The two then caused Mr. french and his wife to seat themselves in chairs, when one of them wont to the wagon and commenced unhitching the mules, while the other remained as guard over their two victims. After the mules were unhitched, and the villains ready to move off with their booty, to which they had added a small amount of greenbacks taken from Mrs. French, something wau said by Mrs. F. in re? gard to their taking the mules, when they caused Afr. and Mrs. French to sign two notes, payable to one of them, for four and three hundred dollars respectively. They then left the premises without taking the mules.-Greenville Mountaineer. DEATH OF TWO HIGHLY ESTEEMED CITIZENS.-We regret to announce the death of two weil known and highly respectable citizens of our District, Andrew Giles, Esq., and William Lesley, Esq. They were both old men, and after a long and uaefYl career passed quietly away, having enjoyed that crowning excellence of old age, "honor, love, obedience, troops of friends." They were men of high character, liberal and publio spirited citizens, and noble Christian gentlemen. Long identified with the best interests of the District, they woro worthy representatives of ita intelligence,-integri? ty and public spirit.-Abbeville Press. . . DEATH OF COL. B. F. SLOAN, SB.-We regret to learn of the death of Col. Benj. F. Sloan, which occurred at his residence in Pendleton on Satur? day night last. The deceased waa a prominent citizen of the District, and for twenty years had charge of the Pendleton Factory. He was in the seventy-second year of his age. [Anderson Intelligencer. SALEDAY.-Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather on Monday morning, there was a fall attendance of the yeomanry, and tho-day wore a busy aspect. The Sheriff sold several tracts of land at the following prices : One tract of 172 acres for $500:135 acres for $130; 460 acres fos41080. [lind. INCESPTARTOT.-Yesterday morning about three o'clock another attempt was made to fire the dwel? ling of. our fellow-townsman, Mr. J. M. Graham. The inmates were all asleep at the time, and but - for the smoke caused from the material used, which aroused one of the family, the building would have boen entirely consumed. The person or persons were supplied with cotton and kerosene oil, which was placed between the sill and flooring, evidently determined to make sure work of it. Florence Gazelle. SALK DAY.-Last Monday was truly a day of sales, commencing at 10 and ending at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. There being a large attendance, and apparently considerable money on thc ground, everything ?o?d, except land, brought its value. Many seemed to think that whatever was offered waa cheap at any price. The bidding, at times, was very lively and amusing; making one feel al? most like "old times."-Ibid. PEPITA H FBTTKT) CHTLDBEN.-The following Cir? cular explains itself, fed we have no doubt that the information it contains will be gladly received by those persons who now have the care andre ponsibilities of taking charge of the unfortunate class alluded to : [?TEOSLAS.] OFFICE A.

L., South Ca? rolina, January 28th, 1867, I respectfully request the citizens of Greenville and Pickens Districts to aid me in completing, at the earliest possible date, a list of orphan freed children in said Districts who are in a destitute condition, and without! re? latives on^cproper protectors. Information concerning such persons may bo ' coTumunicated verbally or by letter to this office, and should, in every case, specify name, age, sex, birthplace, present condition and residence of the orphan. The object proposed is to transfer these victims of poverty to the Shaw Orphan Asylum in Charles? ton, S. C. Attenloh is earnestly invited to the facts that this result will not only be beneficial to the or? phans, -but will tend to relieve the already bur? dened 'publio ' cnaritiea of the Districts,' and will remove from tho community a class which is likely, under neglect, to grow up in ignorance and crime. ? . ? - J.

This crown resembles a coronal of flames, simple in form, but of unmatched elegance. It weighs less than two hundred and fifty grammes (haifa pound.) THE SHOWER OF METEOBS.-The meteoric show? er that apparently waa not visible in New York in November, aa was anticipated, was observed near the Azores on the 12th of that month, by M. Guil lermn. ijtactly in the same place, namely, forty five miles northeast of the Bo de Flores, remark? able showers were observed in 1779 and 1833. The expedition was favored with a perfectly clear night, tte only clouds in toe.'sky collating of a hght belt around the horizon to the height of 10do SSS* fl^?-.be5ind mia V(s?> *T*a a direction north, fifly-nmo degrees east, emerged from the eamepoint a senes of luminous tracks, which sur? rounded the heavens. These began io bo visible at 10 o'clock in tue evening, and shortly after the stars began to shoot up from the same poi j of the horizon. These stars were of a dark cherry red. and were accompanied by a crescent of blue phos? phorescence very luminous, and leaving after its diaappaaranoo a train of hght. . Many oL tho stars crossed the zenith and fell at the opposite horizon, occupying exactly six seconds in their transit; others shot up and fell on the same side of the sky. 'The marvellous spectacle of an Immense shower of such stars continued for an hour in full magnificence, then the UTraiber of me? teors began to drminiab, and finally ceaeed alto? gether ai half-past 3 in the morning.

Scarcity or Women. In America-Their Beauty. A London correspondent ol tho Boston Adver? tiser hos soon th? proof-eheeto of ? forthcoming book, by W. HKPWOBTH Drxow, editor of the Lon? don Atlujrtceum. entitlod Now AmoricR. Mr. Drsos's book is tho fruit of a trip to thia country lost year, during which ho visited all tho principal citios, including Richmond, and all tho curiosities, in? cluding Salt Lako, tho Now York Shakers, and tho Massachusetts Freo Love aottlomont. We nake an extract from the lotter : "The second volume opeii: -with a chapter on 'Uncle Sam's Estate,' in winch an cttempt is made to force Englishmen to realizo the bigness of Amo rica; and this is dono in a way that 1 think will penetrate the skulls of those who find it most diffi? cult to do the sum. A disquisition on tho Tour Races'-each with 'a. custom of his own to follow, a genius of bis own to prove, a conscience of his own to respect; custom which is not of kin, genius which is largely differont, and conscience which is fiercely hostile-this succeeds and introduces a consideration to which the author attributes a whole serios of the novelties which seem to have suggosted his title, viz : the disproportion between sex and sos in tho United States. Tho inequality meets you, ho says, at every turn; 'in the ball rooms at Washington, in the streets of New York, in tho chapels of Boston (that 'loamed, bright and pictureequo city,') at the dinner tables of Bich mond, as woll as among tho frame sheds of Omaha, on tho plantations of Atlanta, in tho miners' huts j noar Denver, in the theatre of Salt Lake City. Tho cry is everywhere for girls, girls, moro girls I" In every other Christian country, in Franco, Eng? land, Germany, Spain, the females are in large ex? cess of the males. Calling upon tho reader to imagine what a state that country must be in which counts up in its fields, in its cities, 730,000 unmarried men. Mr. Dixon proceeds to refer to the State of New York which for "largeness of de? pravity, for domineering insolence of sin, for rowdy"callousness to censure," has no rival, he heaxB, on the earth. Much that is extraordinary to us La afterwards told of the effects which tho demand for women in a measure produces; the agitations for rights and powers; anti-wedlock so oiotios; free trade of the affections, and other signs of wild disturbance! in the female mind. First, however, comes a chapter on "Ladies," written with much skill-the author paying little but com ?ilimont himself, and introducing an American au hority when qualifications have to bo made. In the sweet New England girls he thinks there must be lack of vital power. "At present you can hard? ly speak to them without fearing lest they should vanish from before your face." Among tho higher classes in America, the "traditions of English beauty have not declined: the oval face, tho deli? cate lip, the traTJsparoal nostril, the poarl-like I ftoab, th? tiny Hand, which mark in May Fair tbe lady of high descent, may be seen in nil tbs best housoH of virginia and Massachusetts. The proud? est London belle, the fairest Lancashire witch, I would J nd in Boston and in Bichmond rivals in grace and beauty whom she could not feign to ; despise." Again : "New York beauty bas more ' dash and color, Boston beauty more sparkle and delicacy. - --Some men prefer the more open and au? dacious loveliness of New York, with the Bubens liko rosiness and fullness of tho flesh; but an Eng? lish eye will find more charm in the soft and shy expression of the "elder type." Among the lower grades cf women "there is no such wide and plen? tiful crop of rustic loveliness as an artist finds in England; the bright eyes, the curly l?eles, the rosy complexions, everywhere laughing you into pleas? ant thoughts among our Devonshire lanoa and I Lancashire streets. But then comes the balance of accounts. With her gifts of nature, our Eng I fish rustic must close her book in presence of her keen and natty American Bister." SINGING Au? FIGHTING.-A correspondent of the London Guardian gives the following anecdote in the course- of a letter on hymn tunes : "At an early period of the recent war a detachment of Grand-Ducal Hessian troops, charged with the de? fence of a particular post, suddenly found thorn selves face to taco with a much superior Prussian force. Their commanding officer was a Captain I Eonig, who, as a politician, had been a strenuous advocate of a Prussian alliance, but whose only thoughts as a soldier were those of military duty. Determined to hold his own to the last, ne pre? pared his men for the engagement, in which he himself was one of the first to fall, by bidding thom all join together in a hymn. The poonta ot Grand Ducal-Hesse aro partly Roman Catholic, partly Protestants; and it became needful to choose the one hymn which all the soldiers, whatever their religious confession, could sing. That hymn waa 'Grosser Gott, wir loben dich.' " COMMERCIAL. Export?. ; NEW YORK-Per steamahip Saragossa-181 bales S I and 382 bales Upland Cotton, 17 bale?
