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. Verbum sat sapientL

I IMPORTANT TO REGISTRA RS.-The nu
I candidates for a voter's privilege who car
I their names is alarming, and the grate

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

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 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

supplies used in the performance of his duties

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

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

favor to many of or lady readers than to prese:

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

'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.

tlemen a visit, and prove the truth of this rest

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

Tho hot, sultry month of August lu now upon us. The
season when sickness is more fatal than at any other

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.".. B. W. L.

GETTTLEMEN : I have Just received your letter ot Feb
! ruary Ilth-upon my return to this place, otter an ab
senco oi t^o months-and this reply may be too late for
your " Descriptive Circular of Ingersoll's Cotton Press."
Tho Press I ased in packiug my cotton last year
worked admirably, packing, with ease from 600 to 625
lbs. With good NCtivo hands to work it, I am satisfied
that from eighteen to twenty bales might readily be \
packed in a day. . " "
This Press combines t?te advantages of lightness, and
consequent portability anu simplicity (being easily mm
aged bj any one of ordinary Intelligence). Great com?
pressing force, with little moti'e powor, and "last, but
not least," it ia worked entirely by hand, thus saving for
the farm horses the hard labor impeded upon them by
the use of the ordinary "Screw."

TESTIMONIAL.

TALE COLLEGE, November 16, 1866. )
I have always recommended the Faber Polygr?de
Lead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for both ornamen
I tal and mathematical drawing; but, after ? thorough
trial of the American Polygr?de Lead Pencils, man?
ufactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New
York, I find them superior to any pencil in use, even to
the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencfl,
being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and
mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead
pencil
These pencils are very finely graded and bava a very
smooth lead; even the softest pencils hold the point well;
they ara all that can be desired in a pencfl. It gives me
great pleasure to be able to assure Americans that they
will no longer be compelled to depend upon Germany or
?ny other foreign market for pends.
