FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1867. LOCAL MATTEKS. DICKENS' CHBIBTMAB STOBT-"Mugby Junotion." Vvo axe indebted to Mr. "JOHN RUSSELL for a copy cf this already famous a erics of stories. Price is only fifteen cents a copy. FURMAN UNIVERSITY.-We have received a cata-" logue of the officers and students of Forman Uni? versity, for 1867. A handsome picture of the In? stitution is prefixed to the catalogue. TEE AUCTION SALE of anchors, chains, &c, by MILLIGAN, MELCHERS & Co., previously adver? tised to take place to-day, has been postponed un? til further notice. THE CONCERT.-In our notice yesterday morning of Mr. ROBINSON'S Sacred Concert we unintention* ally omitted mentioning the beautiful Trio, from "The freation," admirably rendered by Mrs. CHASE (Soprano), Mr. WOODBERRY (Bass), and Mr. LrrscHGi (Tenor). The late hour at which our ac? count of the Concert was written must be our ex? cuse fos the omission. SOUTH CAROLINA BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION. We call attention to the advertisement of Gen. JOHN A WAGENER, recently appointed, by Governor ORR, Commissioner of Immigration. It will be seen, by this notice, that the Commissioner means work, and designs making his office useful to the State. It is to be hoped that he will meet with hearty co-operation on the part of our plant? ers and land-owners. MAYOR'S COURT, February 21.-The Mayor hav? ing returned fi om his short trip into the country, occupied the chair, this morning, as usual. Enoch Small, who was as fine a representative of a loafing darkey as could be seen, was brought up for drawing a knife on Jack Johnson, a man from John's leland, and shaking it in his face several times. Enoch's defence that he was only in play, did not avail bim much, for hip Honor sentenced bim to an imprisonment of a week. A Frenchman from Summerville, who was picked up from the sidewalk in a glorious state of drunk? enness, and who gave as an?xense that the change of water had disagreed with him, was fined $5. UNITED STATES COURT-In Admiralty-Ron. GEO. S. BRYAN presiding.-ELIAS DU FORT VS. the steamer Plato-Libel for Wages.-T. Y. SIMONS, Esq., for libellants ; Messrs. SIMONTON & BARKER for defendants. On hearing the testimony in this case, and the argument, it is ordered that the re? spondent do pay to tile libellant the sum of $115 80-100, for his wages as engineer-the Court regarding this, in the absenoe of any conclusive testimony as to a special contract; as the amount the services rendered were, reasonably worth. It is further ordered and decreed ?bat the respondent pay the costs. Coito HENRY P. BREWSTER, of San Antonio, for? merly of this State, and during the greater part of the war on General HOOD'S staff, is spoken of as the proper man to write a biography of Gen. A. S. JOHNSTON. Be was his intimate friend in life, and rode by his side on the field of Shiloh, where he received his death wound. Being compeers and associates in the early his? tory of Texas, says the Austin (Texas) Gazette, his intimate friend in private fife, and afterwards constituting one bf his military family up to the time of his death, he has all the necessary mate? rials ai hand, and from his elegant scholarship and felicitous style, we know no one upon whom the duty rests more appropriately. "GENT'S RETREAT."-Thia is the modest, title of a neat restaurant recently established in Chalmers street, near Meeting, and. the proprietor, Capt. HABEBNIOHT, is a most whole-souled and generous host. The Retreat has been recently arranged for thia purpose, and possesses all the qualifications j that would make it a popular resort. In addition to a fine bar, well supplied with liquors of every description, Capt. H. has tables deptly ar? ranged at intervals, and, when these are covered with bivalves, prepared in his peculiar style, they offer temptations that are not easily overcome. The Captain has a long experience at the busi? ness, and knows how to keep a hotel, and we ad? vise all who wish to refresh the inner man to pay him a visit, and they will not leave unsatisfied. NEW YORE LITE INSURANCE COMPANY.-We call attention to the Twenty-second Annual Report of this old established and prosperous Com? pany, which appears in this day's issn*? The policy holders are- the recipients of another divi? dend of 50 per cent. ? .?< - The number of new policies issued is 7296 dur? ing the year, and for same period the receipts of the Company were over $3,000,000, while its dis? bursements, ID chiding claims by deaths, and divi? dends, were but $1,242,000, leaving a net accumu? lation for the benefit of their policy holders, who alone are members of the Company, of -nearly two millions. Such figures afford the best comment on the successful management of this Institution, and policy holders; as well as those contemplating insuring, will find the expose a most satisfactory one., xi . . K . '. For any further mfoimation, apply to the office of the Agent, Nb. 56 Broad street. . THOMAS FROST, Agent for South Carolina. VISIT or FTLEMEK.-The New York Volunteer Firemen's Association have had manufactured for the Independent Fire Company of Columbia a splendid reel and accompanying hose, and as the Committee of the Association will pass through the city with tho apparatus, on their way to Colum? bia, the firemen of Charleston have properly made excellent arrangements to'receive and entertain them during their sojourn among us, exhibiting on the part of both the great characteristics of that class of citizens-an open-handed charity and true brotherly kindness. The Committee of the Association, consisting of twelve gentlemen, will leave New York, by rail, on the second of March, sending the reel by the steamer, which departa the same day, and on their arrival at the depot will be met and welcomed by a Committee of the Board of Firemaatera, consist? ing of M. H. NATHAN, Chief of the Department, S. Y. TUPPER, President of the Vigilant, and JOSETJ: 'HILTON, President of the Hook and Ladder Com? pany, who w?l convey then* guests in carriages to the Charleston Hotel, where fine accommodations have been prepared for them, and where they will be called upon by the firemen and citizens gene? rally. Thia elegant present, which ia about to be bestowed upon the fire company of our sister city, is of superior make, and was manufactured at a cost of three thousand dollars, as we are informed, and will be received by them, we have no doubt, with a gratefulness which will only be equalled by the good feeling of the givers. We are mach pleased at this visit to our city, as these are gentlemen of standing and character in New York, and while we congratulate the Fire De? partment on their proposed introduction to them, we must say that the rest of our citizens will avail themselves of the same privilege. The following are the names of the Committee: HENRY WILSON, PraridentN. Y. V. F. Association. ROBERT WEIGHT, Sec. T. F. B?BN8. JOHN W. DOWNING. ABRAHAM CLEAEMAN. FBED'OK A ETDABOCK. JOHN H. FBOLEIGH. WILLIAM LAMB. JAMES L. COE LEWIS L. PARKER. PETER Z. EVERETT. CLOTHING MANUFACTORIES.-We were forcibly impressed, by the application of several ladies for work nt a clothing estabhshment of this city, of the feasibility cf such an enterprise, and thought, if a few of our capitalists would institute a com? pany for the manufacture of gentlemen's clothing for the wholesale trade, that it would not only be a profitable investment, but give to many of our female population employment and a means of support, which, besides alleviating the sufferings of the destitute, who have lost all in the late wa: husbands, sons, brothers, as weh as their proper? ty-would also have a good moral tendency. A large number of thia class of our people who formerly were in circumstances of comfort and plenty, have boen thrown upon tho cold charity of the world. Day after day thoy wearily wander from place to place in search of employment, without success, though ever ao wining to work, even for the small? est remuneration, while every steamship arriving from the North is laden with clothing that could have been manufactured at home, and at suoh rates aa to be advantageous to all concerned. A few daya since we bad an evidence of thia fact at a tailoring eatabbshment ba Broad street, where we were shown whole anita of gentlemen's apparel, of a fine quality, all wool, for spring wear, hand? somely and durably made by ladies of thia city. These suits could be manufactured by the quantity at from $14 to $16 per suit, and would readily bring from $22 to $24 in the retail storea. Then, why is it, that this important branch of industry, which would be of ao much advantage to the interesta of pur city and citizens, is not taken in hand by those whoso coffers we foll, and who feel for the w of our people? It ia true, that some of our era and manufacturera in clothing employ ?adie this is done to a very limited extent, for tho ri that they have not tho capital necessary l'or a terprise that wfculd enable: them fairly to con with Northern manufacturers, and they are X by compelled to send their orders away borne. \ ? All' of us reniem ' ar tho happy offect duced, during tho war, by tho lato fin MATTH DESSEN & O'HABA ia establishing a c ing manufactory at tho corner of Meeting Market streets. They received the blessings of ' dreds of mothers, wives and sisters, whose pr< tors had gone to the battle-field, for instituting means by which they could earn bread for tl selves and children. They had no com; tion, it is true, but what would have been the fering of many under different circumstances larger portion of our female community are in a more destitute condition, and it beho those who have it in their power to put fort helping hand ; and they who aro instrumenta creating an estabhshment of this kind, will ceive the blossings of thousands and build a ing monument to their names, which will be hi ed down to posterity, as among the g ameliorators of the wants of the poor. "ST. MICHAEL'S BELLS I Sr. MICHAEL'S BELLS 1 How many a tale their music tells Of youth and hope, and that sweet time When last we heard their soothing chime." The bells, long looked for and anxiously expeci have at length arrived, and are now safely bou in this city. They were unloaded yesterday ? placed upon the wharf, where quite a crowd of curiouB soon gathered to view the welcome v tauts. It was supposed that arrangements co have been perfected with the Custom House thorities so as to allow the Vestry to have the b and aw.it the payment of the duea^for a eh time, at a telegram received from Washing soon dissipated this fond illusion, and the bi are now entered in the Custom House stores ni the duties are paid. The petition which was s from this city has evidently fallen to the grot still-born, and we have now no one to look to 1 ourselves. The work of reconstruction is evide ly left in our own hands-the powers that be ci tenting themselves with having, displayed a i s tractive spirit wbose ravages will not and cam be repaired for many years. The first visit to the bells has been most sal factory. They have been shipped and received the best order, and are in every respect comple ly ready for service. They are eight in numb and are of different sizes and sounds, forming octave that is capable of various modulations. * the side of each is inscribed "MEARNS & STA: BAMK London Foundry, St. Michael's Chim< Charleston, South Carolina, 1866." ?. These bolls came out furnished with all the a para tus necessary to raise and keep them Buspen ed in the tower, and, before they eau bo replace the old frame-work will have to bo removed a: the new substituted. This will occupy some tin and if the bells are released from the Cus toi House, it will be at least two weeks before o ears can be regaled with their tuneful notes. The bells were much damaged by the Columh raid, and only sufficie nt fragments were obtain to perfect the renovating of five, and the remai ing three were made from new metal. Fortunat ly, the old records of the company had been Uer. and the quantity of the different metals in the nc composition was the some in every respect as th employed before. The sizes were the same as b fore the regeneration, and the different bells we easily recognized by those who had been famili. with them. Even tho famous curfew, old Ham ton, was instantly pointed out, and hopes expresse that the day was not far distant when the 8 and : o'clock notes would again sound cu the evenir .air.. \?? ? ?J' U- ?? .! , : -:' But these are, for the present, irrelevant matter The bells are here, have arrived safely, and on await the payment of the legitimate dues to 1 delivered. These dues must be raised, and th: .speedily. We all know and adore our dear ol chimes-the only rebe of the past-and are ce tainly wining to pay them .reverence. The duti< amount to but a small sum comparatively, and t liberal donations this can be easily raised, and vi can claim our own agair. There are few, no ma ter how bumble their circumstances, who won! not bo willing to contribute their mito to this bol cause, and by a littlo generous sacrifice the Bm needed, about $2700, can be easily raised. Subscription lists will be opened in our office fe this purpose, and we earnestly invite all who h av the interest of the city at heart to come forwar and lend their aid to the cause. ! WASHINGTON'S BLETH-D AT.-?EOBOE W ASH LNG TON, without the geniusbf JULIUS CESAR or NAPC ?EON BONAPARTE, has a far purer fame, as his am bit ion was of a higher and hoher nature. Instest ck seeking to raise his own name or seize suprem power, ho devoted his whole talents, military am civil, to the ea tablishment of the independence am the perpstuity of the liberties of his own country To GEORGE WASHINGTON alone,-in modern times has it boen given to accomplish a wonderful revo lutiouandyet to remain to all future times th< theme of a people's gratitude, and an example o virtuous and beneficent power. The pre-eminenc< hero accorded te WASHINGTON will meet with ani versal approval, for he clearly and unchallengeable stands out as the great man in Universal History His example bas been followed- in laten years, bu the result was far different, and the stigma o defeat has crushed a cause purer and hoher thai the effort made by the colonists to throw off th? British yoke. Since the death of WASHINGTON his birthday hat been celebrated as a national hobday wherever tb< flag of the country waved, and this respect has in creased in time so that it is now ranked next to th< 4th of July. In this city the day has been princi pally noticed as the anniversary of several charl table, mibtary and civil associations. At present the military is a defunct body, but upon its ruinf a nobler Society bas been formed, whose cornel stone is charity and whose deeds, though not em? blazoned on the scroll of fame, will occupy a prom inent place on the hst of actions equally worthy o: honor. Foremost among such associations stand ? the W. L. L's. The stirring sound of martial music no longer summons them to the field, but theil welLearned name and irreproachable history de? manded that, though the cause was lost, the or? ganization should remain, and bereft of all military insignia, and clothed only in the civil garb ol charity, they assemble thia day to do honor to the name they bear and prove to the world that they have risen superior to defeat. Their programme for the day has already been alluded to, and their past history is so well known, that any allusions at present are almost unnecessary. The Washington Light Infantry grew out of the great excitement which was created in this coun? try by the affair of the Chesapeake and Leopard. Wbou the news was received in Charleston, in July, 1807, that one of our frigates had been boarded by an English man-of-war, there was a universal feel? ing that war must follow. Several volunteer com? panies were immediately organized. Tho W. L. I. held several informal meetings at the French Cof? fee House. At the first of these Mr. WM. LOWNDES was elected Captain; Captain WAREEK CROSS Lieu? tenant, and WM. CRAFTS Ensign. With such a pa? rentage, and the strong esprit de corps that tho ex? citement of the times bad generated, the future of tho gallant corps was sure, and nobly have they sustained their name in the different perils through which they have passed. Their record is clear, and, though shorn of all but civic glories, a future of hope is opening slowly to the view, in which, as a social corporation, they will yet play a prominent part. The Citadel Square Church is the arena whero the Rev. C. P. GADSDEN will discourse upon that noblest of Christian virtues-"Charity." Those who wish to feaBt their ears should certainly at? tend; the prestige established by tho W. L. I. be? ing sufficient to assure them of an intellectual en? tertainment. Tho order of oxorcises will be found elsewhere. . The Washington Fire Engine Company celebrate their anniversary by a select soiree at tho South Carolina Hall, and tho Washington Artillery Friendly Society commemorate their first annual meeting by a supper, to be held at Market Hall, at ll P. M. Besides theso, a number of balls and . social gatherings will take place, and the 22d of February bids fair, notwithstanding the pressure of tbe times, to be equal to its predecessors, if it doet> .iot surpass them. MABSDEN'S PECTORAL BALM is certain in effect. DOWLE & MOISE, Agents. GOODRICH, WINEMAN & Co., Agents. II. H.

MISCELLANEOUS, An Appeal to the Charitable. TO THE FRIENDS OF THE POOR AND DESTITUTE COLORED, AGED AND YOUTH. We appeal to you to aid us in purchasing and preparing a permanent homo for those who are not able to procure it for themselves. Hundreds of aged, decrepid, orphan children are thrown upon the public to be cared for. They have neither homes, nor can they work to secure any. They are in our midst, suffering fearfully for want of food, raiment and houses to live in. We feel that we would bo false to our natures, as well as delinquent in Christian duty, if we took no interest in ameliorating these sufferings which meet us every day. We would be false to this community if we, in common with our white citizens, took no interest in the moral, social, religious and industrial welfare of the thousands who are in our State without the means of self support. We, the un? dersigned, with many others, feel that we should care for our poor; and in these times, which tries us ah sorely, take some of the burden, and provide a home for the des? titute, and to this end have purchased a farm for $7600, which we propose to make a Home of. Industry. Wc are compelled to call on our friends in Charleston and else? where to assist us to raise tho amount of $2000 to make the first payment and necessary repairs. We therefore appeal to a generous public for aid. R. H. CALN. ANTHONY WILLIAMS. JOHN EVERETT. MOSES VANDERHORST. ANSON DEL ES LINE. ROBERT PURVIS. WM. POGUE. ROBERT CATTLE JAMES GRANT. ABRAM ADAMS.
