WEDNESDAY MOBNING, AUGUST 14, 1867. ? LOCAL MATTERS. JOB W?BE.-WO have noir completed our office BO aa to execute, in the shortest possible time AT.T. KINDS OP JOB WOKE, and we most re? spectfully ask the patronage of our friends. Post Office Notice. POST OFFICE, } CHARLESTON, S. G., July 6,1867. J After to-day the mails for Northeastern Railroad will close at 8 o'clock A.M., and to-day and after? wards they are expected to reach the Railroad "Station" at 2:30 o'clock P.M., and to be ready for delivery at ibis office at 3:30 o'clock P.M., except on Sunday, when the hour will be from G P.M. to 7 P.M., until further notice. STANLEY G. TROTT, P. M. POSTO in cs NOTICE.-An evening mail for Augus? ta and Savannah, and for distribution beyond those offices, wi? close daily at tho Postoffice at half-past 6 o'clock. BETHEL CHURCH.-Divine servico may be ex? pected in thia church every night during this week, and also on Friday morning, at ll o'clock?. This being the week of prayer and fasting appoint? ed by the Church, the congregation is respectfully invited to attend. Bo ABD OP TRADE.-We notice an extra meeting of the Board of Trade is called to meet at the Club Boom of the Charleston Hotel this day atone P. M., We understand that the reply of the Com? manding General to the Committee appointed by the Board in reference to eer a in orders issued by him will be submitted. As this IB a very impor? tant matter to the mercantile community general? ly, it is to be hoped there will be a full attendance of the members presont. Wo presume there will be no objection to outsiders attending, as the Board represents the business portion of Charles? ton. AN LITPBOVEMENT.-While transacting business a day or two since on tho wharves, we noticed what appeared to be quite an improvement on the old-fashioned mode of emptying the mud flats, in .Fbich the material taken out of the docks by the dredging machine are deposited. Capt. JOHN FEB CUSON, who is interested in an improved dredge, and who is now engaged in deepening BBOWN & Co.'s docks, had his steam tug Relief attached to each flat load as it was filled, and towed a long distance into the river where it was emptied. The old plan was to haul out the flats by a hawser at? tached to the head of the pier, tho mud being fre? quently deposited within a stone's throw of the dock from which it was taken, thereby ensuring the immediate return of a part of -the mud either into the dock which was being deepened, or into ita neighbors. The present plan appears to obviate this difficulty-its being carried off to a distance which should prevent any o^t returning. MAD Doa.-We have fortunately been thus far spared the infliction of mad dogs, and the canines have been allowed to wander about, happy in their no muzz Jed condition, but the unfortunate animals Trill now learn that every dog has his day, and if they wish to enjoy a long life they must lie low and keep dark. A report was circulated on Mon? day morning that a rabid canine was seen near the corner of Church and Cumberland streets, and Sergeant POULNOT was sent to dispatch the beast. On arriving on the field, a small yaller dorg was discovered rooting in a pile of bricLi but showing no symptoms of madness beyond oc? casionally biting at a brick. This was, however, considered a casus belli, and a pistol shot was fired, which took effect in the dog's neck, and caused him to hug his fortifications closer. Three shots were fired without disjiatching^im, when the dorg, "becoming disgusted, went into a store and laid do vn behind some bacon. This action on his part r<doubled the alarm, and he was finally dispatched by a blow from a club. No post mor? tem was h aid on the body of the lamented beast, but it is ncivnihe general impression that it was "much ado about nothing," resulting only m the death of au innocent dog. A Wurr OF LD ENTITY CAUSED BY IMPBOPEE NUM 3EBJNQ OF HOUSES*-Wo have often noticed the irregular n umbering of the houses in this city, and the co afusi?n that is caused on this account. Some horace rejoice in two numbers, both widely different ft om each other, while in other sections only a few are thus ornamented; the uselessness of such numeration is at once apparent. Under these j ?irccmstaiices, a correct directory is almost an im? possibility, as but few of the houses can be desig? nated by numbers, and many of these may have duplicates on the same block. As a directory is a yearly enterprise, we would suggest to the next parties who engage in this undertaking to combine the proper numbering of the houses with their task, and assess each owner a small amount suf? firont to cover the expense of preparing and affix? ing these necessary landmarks. Il this plan is pursued, Charleston ^1 be changed from the present terr A incognita to a city wherein all who run may read, and where any residence can be identified This of course can? not be done in the burnt district, ont the streets intersected by that locality are weil known to all in the community. We were induced to make these remarks from an incident that has been brought to our attention. An advertiser who had vainly endeavored to sell certain property, was disgusted at the want of applicants, and could trace it to no cause but the absence of a number on his house. Being convinced that this alone was the cause, he ino ved to a building that was thus ornamented; renewed his advertisement; restored his identity, and sold his property.

I ceived the following account of the reist I Sommerville, the Fifth Precinct, oa 'he I ?tant: Whites, 16; colored, 75; total, 91 m j colored, 59. I IMPORTANT TO REGISTRA RS.-The nu I candidates for a voter's privilege who car I their names is alarming, and the grate ! bb mild be taken by the registrars to ha I signatures certified to by the requisit w I In the different precincts yesterday ilarj j ber of colored candidates were compiled j their mark, and we learn that in soie ii I the names were written by Ute regulars I of allowing them to affix their inarki cen I witnesses. Unless this latter plan iepura I parties will not be legal voters, andar? 1 I have their votes protested. At the Thi I cine t forty-two colored persons coulcbot n j the Fourth, about one-third, while te prc I at the remaining precincts was aborj the I There was also at each precinct a tir whi I who could not write, and the aame rema I applicable in their cases. j -o REGISTRATION IS THE Crrr.-Thesbjeot I is: ration still occupies tho attentionof the I mind, and though the weather pr* enta j I up to fever heat, sufficient anxieljs mai I to warrant the belief that all eitizas, bot! j and colored, will have their names erolled I the cloding of the polls. The roture of tl J give a large colored majority, but he whi I zens are evidently biding their tim, and v I roll en masse toward the end. The? is pi I no more truthful saying than "prorastina I the thief of time," and we advise evy one I postpone the duty of registration, ht, if n< I ry, devote a whole morning to its aeomplisl I and the satisfaction of having piard then I in a position to do their country arrice wi I sufficient reward. I Yesterday papped quietly and wiiout anj ward?incident ila mar the proceedigs. Th I of the morning served to lay the dst, but tl I was intense, and the crowds who athered a I the precincts, while they drew inspration frc I mouths of the three judges, exhaed perspi I in streams that required consta* moppin I which compelled all who had aregard foi I personal comfort to keep on th outskirts, I the air was purer. Tho same ar?ety was I fasted by some of the enfranohisd to witne I proceeding, and this caused ar unpleasai I that probably kept many fromenrolling I names. If the plan of the cue,- e., stand j single file and waiting for the next turn I adopted in every precinct, there 'ould be nc I culty. and the applicants would blearily acco I dated. We commend the subjet ?to the p I authorities. j The patience of the registrareis often se1 I taxed by the foolish answers thahre given to I questions. At the Hope Engin House, 3d 1 ci nc t, a colored candidate was axed if he wa I He rep'lod not yet, but proceedd to state tb I was married and had children His appea j contradicted his statement of lis age, and I ther questioning brought from him the astc I lng statement that he had a youger brothel I was 23. He was evidently all rjht except o I morals and was passed in. Tis is only o I many instances in which the aplicant either I not or will not understand thequestions pi I him and renders the qnestionermcomfortabl; I in his endeavors to explain. The registration to-day in thdifferoat Free I is as follows: WHITES. COI/ I First Precinct.61 I Second Precinct.46 I Third Precinct.41 j Fourth Precinct. I Total...178 ! Majority of colored.... IMPOVEMENTS OK RUTLEDGE .VENUE.-OPTIC I THE BOARD OF HEALTH-Fewpersons who I this beautiful Avenue can ave failed to I tice the improvements that live taken plac? I the buildings along the route, but none of t I aro more conspicuous than tb change that I beer, offected in the appearace of the hons tho northeast corner of rhe A~enuo and Call street. Before its regenerada, this building a dingy and timo-s tai ned look and was far fron ing the ornamental edifice thi now pleases thc and adds another to the man fine houses in locality. It was purchased ame months back Dr. GEO. S. PELZER, who imneiiatoly began, work of restoration. This ha progressed so a ly and silently that the count observer was i prised to note the change tb,t had taken ph and asked bewilderingly if it ros the same bo lng that was formerly an cy? sore to toe bei borhood. Under' the skillful hands of Mesara. W. BEAMISH ? Co., a complet* transformation Leen effected, and the once dingy structure i shines forth in all the gloryof new paint, and shown the troth of the poets dream, "that a th of beauty is a joy forever." The hmso has b thoroughly refitted and pt in ted, aid the pas not recognizable in ita pr?tent alt ?red conditi for the tangled mass of shrubbery las been clea away, and the entire premises, including the c houses, have been subjected to the same ord and now show the gratifying remits produced the rrianipnlations of the ?arpenter and painter. In addition to the improvements made in main buikhngs, Dr PELZER bis caused a neat c commodious office to be enctet on the Calhc Street side of the lot. Thia has been divided i two compartments; one ?esigoed as a priv office and the other for the accommodation the Board of Health where the; will meet in fut and toaoaaot their business The new office admirably adapted for theparposes intended, it fronts on the street railwy and can be read in a comparatively short euee of time. In ad tion to the office above meitioned, Dr. PELZER 1 a large storehouse which s filled with the med) supplies used in the performance of his duties city Registrar and He alt! Officer. The change that has ben effected in this sect: of the city by these improvements is at oe noticeable, and Dr. PELEE deserves the thanks the community not on/ for his efforts to resto the city to her formr appearance, but for t energy and zeal he ?as manifested in the d charge of his official loties and the conrenieno he has furnished for the benefit of all parties wi are connected with bm. THE AMERICAN F?BEEE.-We have received tl August number a (his excellent monthly, pu lished in Bal tima?, by Messrs. WORTHINGTON LEWIS. We make toe following solee tion from i j contents, believin/ that we cannot do a great favor to many of or lady readers than to prese: them with a good'te i pe for CANNING FBUIS.-First-Can the fruit the san day it is gatheed. More than half tho seen of having fine preserved fruit hes in this simp direction. Second-Neer can fruit without adding as muc sugar to it f you would to prepare it for tb table. This is imperative, else your fruit wi inevitably b leathery ; cook it in, I should sa] at tho rate ?f one-quarter of a pound to ever pound of mit at least ; but taste and try, as did, and ?hen it suits your palate cease from a saccharin matter. And uff for the modus operandi :-pare an? extract be pit; cut into La Ives and plunge int cold wtor until ready to cook, elee your peaohei will beblack; this, of course does not apply to otb er kins of fruit. Place your cans in any vesBe when they can stand at least half way up in boil ing ?ater, which keep so until sealed. I usual! talioa large dripping pan and put it on the top o thedtove at one side, while my preserving ketti? is <n the other. Make your syrup and when i cenes to a boil, put in your peaches and let then ook (if clings) until you can pierce with a pied ?f broom corn; if freestones, when the syrup boili jp over them the first time, skim ont and put inte the cans. When tho latter are full of tho peaches, fill up with boiling hot syrup, wipe off the tope with a rag wet with cold water, being careful thai no juice remains on them, then put on the covora, remove Irom tho water to tho stove hearth, anc seal. Everything niuBt bo hot from tho beginning tc the end-hot sirup, hot cans, hot fruit, hot sealing 'wax, and harder than all, hot and blowzy hands und faces just when .ho thermometer is at blood heat in the shade ! All small fruits are rubject to tho same proccas, except that the rule .'or them is simply to allow them to come to a bot, and not remain longer in the sirup. Strawberres, to retain their color and flavors, require mor? sugar, and to be put into glass, stone, earthen or anything but tin. The same is true of blaikberries. Tomatoes I scald, peel, and then brinj to a boil again, with a little salt added, when I pat them in new tin, and seal. I have never been fotunate with glass or earthen. If stone jars are use! be eure that you buy dark colored, well baked ind glazed oneB, not tlje yel? low. "DIE MODENWELT-HluBtrirte Zeitnng far Toi? lette und Bandarbeiten." Herr A. F.

We recommend all who desire to please 'ie [ palate and satisfy the inner man to pay these g< tlemen a visit, and prove the truth of this rest tion. MAYOR'S COURT.-The only striking feature in the annals of this Court was a personal encounter that took place between two colored sprigs of roy ? alty. The one was a youth to fame and fortune, i well known, who rejoiced in the high sounding name of Prince Fortune, while his antagonist was no less a personage than his highness Prince Albert. Tho royal pair indulged in a neat game of fisticuffs, and pummelled each other right royally until interrupted by Borne evil disposed characters, who carried them to the Palace, where they were entertained in a royal manner, and were only ask? ed $5, merely to give them the pleasure of bestow ?ingit. UNIVERSITY OF NEW YOEE-MEDICAL DEPABT ? MEST.-We have received the "Annual Announce? ment of Lectures" of this College for the session of 1867-68, and upon examination find the follow? ing only of the ante-bellum Faculty now connected [ with this institution: Dr. JOHN W.

OPINION'S OP THE PEOPLE I ALLENDALE, BARNWELL DISTRICT, S. C., ) March 1, 1867. ) Meurs. Lillie <? Marshall : G>r.NTi.EYKS : I used, .during tho past season, one^of "Ingersoll's Portable Cotton Presses," purchased of last .September. I havo always been prejudiced in favor of the* "Scrow Press," and nothing but dire necessity in ducod me to try auy other. I take pleasure, however, in adding my testimony in favor of its entire adaptation to tho wants ot a cotton plantation. It has surpassed my most sanguino expectations. I have packed with but two bande, yet I preter four-two at each lover. My bales all weighed over SOO lbs. The first lot I sent to market averaged 6021 :,s. My impression is that 600 lbs is about the capacity of the Press, and a greater number of pounds subject thc fodow-block to too much risk, un less tho sides of the cotton box was increased. It would add greatly to tho valuo of the Press if the cotton box was ten inches lougcr. In haste, I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Ac, B. W. LAWTON. P. h. I took my Press down and carried it some four miles to pack tho crop of a neighbor, who lolled t > have 8> "Screw" built; he was so much pleased that he has determined to abandon the "Screw" and purchase "In? gersoll's Press."..
