BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.-The great match gai of 1000 pointa advertised in the papers, came yeateiday evaiing st the Phelan Billiard Boon >> A large audience had gathered to see the perfor ance, and the table occupied by the two play? was soon the centre of attraction, all others bei deserted. The players, Mr. EDWARD B. ffumr and Mr. J. WALTER MONTGOMERY, were aime equally matched, and proved worthy antagonia Mr. H. led and kopt his position for some tin but his opponent gradually improved and final passed Mfa; this advantage was kept until tl close of the game, when Mr. MONTQOMRBI was d dared the winner by 324 points. The tharne pla ed was one known among the scientific as tl "Nursing" game, the chief of which difficulty co gist in keeping the balls near together. A numb of fine runs were made by both parties, rangii from 10 to over 100, the largest being cleared 1 Mr. HAMILTON, who scored 190 points. The gan occupied one and a half hours, and the inters was unabated until the close. A Nsw PUMP.-A large crowd gathered on Brot street yesterday morning, in front of Mesai ADAMS & DAMON, and evinced a lively interest watching the movements of two men, who we engaged in forcibly driving a leaden pipe into tl earth. ; Questions innumerable were asked, ax various surmises formed; but it was not until ti pipe had been hammered down some fifteen fee and a pump screwed upon that portion remainic above the surface, that the mystery was cleare< It was still considered a foolish undertaking, i the pump-would be tar more ornamental than us< fal; but the workmen, confident in the abilities < their niaohine, heeded no: the sneerorg, and soo caused them to change their opinions, for the sui lion generated by tho pump proved sufficient nt only to raise the sand that clogged the pipe, bi ultimately to bring up water. Messrs. ADAMS I DAMON have gained a reputation by this mo vom e r that will secure a ready sale for their pumps, a they have publicly demonstrated that well diggin has exploded, and every man can be his own pumj maker. The fiat and spongy nature of our so offers but little r?sistance to the entrance of til pipe, and a-few days' vigorous exercise upon th pump soon furnishes tho owner with a plentift supply of pure water. MAYOR'S COURT, February 15.-Henry Thomas, colored boy who professes to be what he calls " sporting character," and to carry out fully the pc siiion he has assumed in the community, picke the pocket of one Robert Swinton, an aged darke} of its entire contents, was sent to a magistrate t be taught that he ia not to ge into any man' pocket, unless it's "to let." Will Jenkins, a black speculator, who came aoros a load of unod, which ho would carry off as if it wa his own, was referred to an officer of the law, wh will stick him where he will pine away as much a he pleases. John Thomas, a small colored boy, who ha? found a cow in a yard, and was driving the anima to a butcher's pen, BO as to find out who she be longed to, was discharged with a warning, as th? owner came across his property before John hat an opportunity of committing any actual offene? for which he could be punished. BLACKWOODS MAGAZINE for January, 1867, hac out just reached us. The publishers are not at prompt in their issues of these reprints as coule be desired. Were the articles merely of a li teran character, a few weeks sooner or later would make but little difference. But as essays and specula? tions on the great political questions of the day (in both hemispheres) are an important feature of these English Reviews and Magazines, it is very desirable to have them before the march of events has rendered such sp?culations valueless. ' The January number of Blackwood is interest? ing. '-Nina Balatka" is finished, and we are sure the readers of Maga will be glad thereat, for a stupider story it has never been our misfortune to meet with. The other articles are as follows: 1. Our Naval Defences; Where are we ? 3. Sir WIL? LIAM PAREES, the Admiral of the Fleet. 4. CON XNGTON'S Translation of the iEneid. 5. CORN?LIUS ODOWD. 6. The Campaign in Western Germany. 7. Women and Children in America. 8. The Brownlows-Part I. 9. Who aro the Reformers, - and What do They Want ? Mr. JOHN E U SHELL is the agent. SOUTHERN MANUFACTURE.-While we were mak? ing our daily peregrinations "about - town," in search of that necessary t hing to our existence an item-we dropped in to the store of our worthy friend, JOSEPH WALKER, on the corner of Meeting and Market streets, and feasted our eyes upon what are, we think, the finest pieces of manufac? ture which this or any other Southern city, has ever produced in the Blank Book line, and we question very much if tany Northern city has ever exceeded them. They were two "Personal Ledgers," for the People's National Bank of this city. They are each thirteen quires in thickness, made of extra superfino super-royal paper, full bound in Russia leather, and finished in the most beautiful manner, with gold leaf, laid on by rolls ?ut in the most elaborate patterns. The lettering in gold on the back was beautifully executed, and altogether the books are handsome-beyond com? parison. Our readers should make it a point to examine these splendid books, and we aro sure that they will never send an order for blank books, or, indeed, any other kind of binding or .printing, so long as WALKER continues to turn out ?iich magnificent work. "t -o NEGRO LITERATURE.-When we were a school boy, arid were made to road speeches delivered by Indian Chiefs, whose elegant diction and force cf language- would causo a thrill to overcome us, we were as firmly impressed that they were as "true aa holy writ," and that they were translations made by intelligent men who were on the spot, and whose knowledge of their tongue enabled them to give to the world the simple words of tho savage, that,"like beauty unadorned, is adorned the most ;" but aa we grow older, and consequently wiser, we found that we had boen tho subject of a delusion, and that these beautiful efforts of tho Aborigines had no firmer found a li on tba a in the minds of Northern book-makers-those whose anxiety for the morals of the mon made them send out works of instruct ion for the youth of the South. But now the poor Indian is forgotten, his faith and bravery are thrown aside, and the negro, with his intelli? gence, truth and ability, adorn the pages of their books, and render attractive the columns of their newspapers. ' In this connection we publish the following ex? tract from a Northern exchange, merely saying that we who know accurately the negro mind, know fiat there is not a word of truth in the asser? tion that the lines, aa poor SB they are, are the production of a colored soldier, but are the effort of some ancient inventor of Indian orations, who has found it now a losing business, and has conse? quently resorted to African poetry. "An army officer, writing from the Carolinas during the bust year of the wai', describes tho characteristics of the negroes belonging to bis corps. He happened frequently to overhear their devotions, both solitary and social ; and gives the following lines, in effect, tb.3 prayer-or, at least, a part of the devotions of one of them. It seems to me that, rightly read, there will be found in them much melody and pathos. They have never been in print, and I do not think it quite time to drop from our remembrance thc better traits of our countrymen of the unfortunate complexions. Wid one hand holdln' de shinin' musket, In de odd ar I carry de Book; Bat if I die fishtin' at de fiamin' muzzle, I may know dat I nab de Lord. Ben so let me lib dat I know bow to meet Him, If I die on land or sea, Bat I know bow to meet de blessed ."esus Dat he may welcome me. I lef ' my wife in de land o' bondage Every ni te de little ones cry, And say to der mammy, 'Where is my fader, Why has he gone away ?' But, if I die, when de bright monah' riBes, An' I stand on de heabenly plain. One foot on de laud an' one on de water, I shall see dem all again. ATTEMPTED ESCAPE.-Tho jaiKbirds are evident? ly uneasy, and the frantic efforts they make to re? lease themselves prove that they do not appreciate the attentions paid them. Escapes have been BO frequent lately that extra care and vigilance has been observed; but this has been met with equal cunning on the part of the prisoners, and notwith? standing every precaution, attempted escapes are not unusual. Mr. KENNEDY, the Jailor, received a notification from a prisoner on Friday that led to an investiga? tion, and it was found that every preparation had been made to effect the liberation of all in the tower, and to make a general jail delivery. John Jenkins, who was the "big villain" of the occa? sion, was convicted of burglary in last July, and has recently been confined in the tower. Through the aid of some outside accomplices, he received a small table knife, which came concealed in a loaf j of bread, and with this simple instrument he suc? ceeded in cutting through a heavy iron bar, the bolt of the hinge, and the outside staple. The work was done in a masterly manner, and, strange to say, was performed in the day time, He had studied his part well, and being able to hear .the slightest footfall, would look himself in and avoid suspicion. The outside staple was nearly ont throngh, leaving only sufficient uncut to retain it in its position, but the bolt and bar were completely severed. The latter was to have been employed in wrenching off the bolts and locks to the different doors. Every precaution was used by the conspirators to keep their project quiet, but, as is usually the case, one was found who inform? ed on them, and it waa discovered in time to be frustrated. < Jenkins is an accomplished villain, and should have been treated to a dance on nothing if he had received his proper deserts. His time would have been up in a few weeks, and he will find that tak? ing it by the forelock will not hasten his depar? ture. By profession a meoh&nic, he was thorough? ly conversant with the use of tools, and managed to turn even the poor substitute he possessed to a good account. His plans were well laid, and but for the timely intimation received tho jail would have been vacated by all save the turnkeys this morning. MISTAKEN CLEMENCY.-Our Chief Magistrate re? cently granted a petition, which was numerously signed by the freedmen, praying the release of j certain colored malefactors confined in jail. The Governor acquiesced in the wish of the petitioners without reflecting upon the result whioh was al? most inevitable. Before accepting their freedom ti e prisoners were required to leave the city and seek employment on the neighboring islands, bu of the thirty-five or forty who were released it would be safe to say not more than ten fulfilled the requirement. These vagabonds, the veriest soum of the earth, have been tamed loose on an unoffending commu? nity, who will be preyed upon until the ecoundrels are again caged. Their release was no sooner ef? fected than, disregarding all obligations, they hied to their old haunts and were soon re-engaged in the laudable employments that brought them into limbo. One notorious villain, a freedman named Jack Mason, and an importation from the Hub of the Pilgrims, celebrated his transit into free air in many taking ways. He first spied a valise in King street, and being in want of the article shouldered it; a bolt of cloth next attracted his attention; this was also levied upon, and he bolted, but the pursuit was so close that he dropped his plunder and fled. Later in the day, while strolling through State street, a ham brought his parentage lo his mind so forcibly that it was instantly confiscated. This was his last feat, for he was immediately ca i lured, and will soon be restored to his old quarters. This is only a solitary case, and deserves atten tention but from the fact that the theft was com? mitted immediately upon regaining his freedom. It was a good riddance of bad rubbish when these rascals wero caged, and their release will redound to no good, either lo the planters or themselves. The well directed efforts of the police authorities to detect crime have been rendered nugatory, and a burden imposed upon our citizens that will cause closed doors and tightly buttoned pockets to be no useless precaution. No good will result from this act of the Governor's, as the thieving pro? pensities of the jail birds are uncontrollable, and it would be most gratefully received if he would order them to be recaged.

Some occupations of Ufe predispose to Costiveness, es? pecially those which allow but little exercise. Person.", who contract this unfortunate habit of body, under ouch circumstances, might possibly be relieved by changing their sedentary employments for others of a more activa kind; but this is by no means certain. Habitual consti? pation in a very obstinate disorder. All the ordinary so called remedies invariably aggravate it Nothing can be more injurious than the continued use of strong aperients. They at first Vritate, and finally almost para? lyze the bowels-rendering them so torpid that enor? mous doses of cathartic medicines have no effect upon them. A mild aperient, combined with a gentle stimu? lant, is the true remedy; and a combination in the hap? piest proportion cf these ingredients, is found in HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. This famous .'stomachic invigorates the whole intestinal canal, while quietly removing from its convolutions all impediments to a free passage through them. No mere purgative has this double operation. No ordinary stimulant effects the desired object Cases of Constipation abandoned as hopeless by distinguished medical men have been cured in a few weeks by the Bitters. To those who have tried all the medicines of the dispensary in vain, we say try this irresistible stimulant and aperient. There is no sufficient reason why Constipation should le the conse? quence of sedentary habits. H08TETTER'S BITTERS, by supplying the vigor which would otherwise be de? rived from exercise, will in aU cases enable the system to perform its excretory functions regularly and health? fully.

WE BEG TO CALL THE ATTENTION OF PLANT? ERS to the above as a superior manure for either Corn or . Cotton, the experience of last year proving lt equal if not superior to Peruvian Guano. The following ia the report of an analysis made from a lot now in store: raugpmu? or xoinr, aotubie..rr?.e.ao ? Phosphate of lime, Insoluble.28.80 -37.00 Sulphate of Lime and traces of Sulphate of Ammonia, Potash, Soda and Magnesia, with some free Sulphuric Add, about. 8.00 Hygrometio Water expelled at 212 degrees.... 23.00 Combined Water (a portion of this belongs to the Phosphate of Lime, which was esti? mated after its ignition; tho greater part of balance ls doubtless associated with toe Animal Matter) and Animal Matter. 30.00 Silica (Sand). 2.00 100.00 The Animal Matter, aa might be supposed in a fertilizer BO largely derived from fish, ls less highly nitrogenlzed than that to the Peruvian Guano. Still lt will afford, du* ring toe process of decomposition, about three per cent, of Ammonia. The Oil (which la remwLebly abundant) though not generally reckoned among Manures, being here associated with other less stable animal principles, cannot fail of adding to toe value of the mixture, espe? cially on light soils. The insoluble Phosphate being thoroughly organized and, at the same time, minutely divided, ls also well adapted to a gradual appropriation by toe plant _ According to the present sample, COE'S SUPER PHOSPHATE ls a judiciously and faithfully manufac? tured Manure, and. will not disappoint those who will give it a trial. Even if employed alone, I should expect highly remunerative results. (Signed) CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD. Price $65 per ton of 2000 pounds. For sale by E. H. RODGERS A CO., Sola Agents for South Carolina.

AS THE AGENT FOR THE ABOVE MANURE, I last year submitted to Professor Shepard, of toe south Carolina Medical College, a sample for analysis, and, with his endorsement, recommended it to my plant? ing friends. I am now pleased to say that then' practical experience fully confirms the Professor's opinion of its value aa a manure. Tho beet evidence that toe results of its use on cot? ton last year were satisfactory lies to the fact that those who then used it are this year buying lt again, and to in? creased amounts. A cargo Of BAUGH'S RAW-BONE PHOSPHATE ls now in transit for this port, and, in conformity with my uni? form mle, it will be sampled and analyzed by Professor Shepard upon arrival. The manufacturers have, how? ever, placed in my hands an analysis of toe cargo, made by Professor Williams, cf Philadelphia, which shows the standard of the MANURE to be fuBy up to that of last season. The following is the report of Professor Williams, re? ferred to above: PHILADELPHIA, January 22, 1867. Messrs. haugh ? Sons : GENTLEMEN : I have analyzed toe sample of your Su? per-Phosphate banded me some days since, and Ondit to be composed as follows: Moisture at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. 4.69 per cent Combined Organic Matter.23.14 per cent Yielding Ammonia.3.62 per cent Bone Phosphate of Lime.42.83 per cent Yielding Phosphoric Acid.19.62 per cent. (Other ingredients not estimated.) The per centago amount of Ammonia is very much greater than that obtained from most Super-Phosphates I have examined, and this, in connection with the readi? ly soluble condition of th? Bone Phosphate when acted upon by weak acids-for instauce, Carbonic Acid-will account for the markedly lavorable results which have been obtained from the application of your fertilizer. Respectfully, CHARLES P. WILLIAMS, Analytical and Consulting Chemist J. N. ROBSON, AGENT FOR THE MANUFACTURERS, No. 62 East Bay, Charleston. January 81 thstu Imo SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO. THE COMPOSrnON OF THIS GUANO IS IDEN? TICAL WITH PERUVIAN. IT DIFFERS ONLY IN THE PROPORTIONS OF THE MAME ELEMENTS. WHILE IT CONTAINS LESS AMMONIA, IT HAS nearly twioe the quantity of Phosphate of Lime, 16 per cent of which is immediately soluble. Its effects on Cotton the past season have, lu many instances, ex? celled Peruvian Guano. It has to no case proved less ac? tive to toe early growth of the crop. When drought in? tervenes the crop does not suffer from its use as is toe case with Peruvian Guano. By reason or the presence In it of so large a per cent of Phosphate of Lime its nae im? proves the soil to an extent 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. The undersigned, Agent, ls prepared to furnish the tes? timony of woll known South Carolina planters In evidence of tho superior excellence of this Guano. J. N.
