QUARANTINE ENDED.-Quarantine on this coast is suspended after tho 1st November, by order of General CANBT. This is another cheering sign. All danger of pestilence is now over, and Galves? ton, Mobile, and New Orleans are recovering slow? ly from the plague which has so sorely'aniitten them. _ CAROLINA RICE.-This valuable grain, which forme so prominent an article of food to Caroli? nians of the low country when it can be had at reasonable prices, begins to arrive with more freedom, some 1*2,000 bushels having reached here in a few days past.

LIQUOR LAWS.-General CANBY decides that the jurisdiction conferred on Post Courts, in cases of | violations of th; military liquor orders, is not an exclusive one. The laws of the Citv, State, or United States, regulating the eales of liquors, re? main in force, and may be enforced, notwithstand? ing that the delinquents have already been punish? ed by a military court. The order prohibiting the sale is a police regulation, and the penalties for violation in now way relieve partiee offending from their other responsibilities. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT-HON.

Gilbert, Boston, Mass. THE FTRE OF YESTERDAY MORNING.-AS was premised in yesterday's paper, the tire was con? fined to the building where it originated, though its origin is as much of a mystery aa ever, as no tivJ was used in Mr. CLANCY'S store, and there were uo matches or combustible material in the establishment. Mr. CLANCY was insured for eight thousand dollars n Northern Companies represented by Messrs. CJLBURN & HOWELL, and his loss will probably rei ch that amount, as but little of the stock was ..-aved, and that mostly in a damaged condition. Messrs. JOHN & THEO. GETTY were insured for three thousand dollars with Mr. 8. Y. TTTPPIB. A small portion ol their stores, consisting of coils of rope, were Baved, but were considerably damaged by fire and water. None of the office furniture was saved by the Messrs. GETTY, Mr. ESNARD and Mr. 3. M. LEVIN, the latter gentleman, who conducted the businsse of a Custom Houae Broker, having lost all of his papers and records. The Britii-h Consul's office, together with hi* archives and the records of the Consulate, were stored in large wooden boxes, and were entiroly destroyed. Tnere vas some in? surance on the furniture, but none of it was saved. The building was the property of Mrs. Dr. SMYTHE, and was insured for eight thousand dollars with Messrs. Co .BURN & HOWELL. A NEW ENTERPRISE FOR CHARLESTON.-Messrs. MCKAY A CAMPBELL, the energetic auctioneers of Mcctiug street, havo recently added a new feature to their business. Their sales of bacou and smoked meats were so extensive, that they were induced to change thc location of theil- provision .salesrooms, and to securo a smoke-bouse where the meat could bo prepared under their own euj>er vision. They havo opoued these tooms un Kant Bay, between Wentworth and Hasel streets, and are now engaged in building an office, and making other improvements on tho property. The smoke? house is a large building m the rear of the lot, and has a capacity of some forty thousand pounds. The interior has been expressly arranged for this purpose, and the smoking is dono by oak and hickory, mixed with mahogany shavings, which gives a fine brown color to the moat. A large quantity of this moat has already boen prepared for market, and has commanded a high price. It has been considered of a suparior quality to the bacon brought from thc Wost, and, being prepared on tho spot, can be guaranteed both sound and fresh. Thia is, we believe, the first enterprise of this description that has ever been started in the city; but, from the character of the parties con? nected in it, we feel no hesitation in saying that it will prove a successful investment of both labor and capital. MA?OR'S COUBT.-One poor inebriate, who got 1 jaded and fell by the wayside, waa found by tho Samar itans au 1 carried to i he Dispensary, when? ho found it necessary to dispense $5 before bo could eet out. Susan Hudson, who is Uko a cloe to tho wheel? Of justice, was picked up in her usual drunken i it . aud seut to the jail to recuperate. I>is i RI cr COURT-JUDGE LOOA ? PRESIDING. - Tbc State cs. Anthony Washington, Hill Williams, lieu Bolin, Cuffeo Nelson, Dick Hivers, Jack Chisolm, Miles Galloway, Simon Gadsden. These parties wcro iudicted for a riotous aud unlawlul assem? blage on the 2d inst. Messrs. KING and LINING appeared for the prisoners, and Messrs. HAINS and MIKEL i. for ttie prosecution. The jury re? turned a verdict of Guilty. This riot occurred about five miles from ia.> city, and was an attack made on a negro of this city, Ephraim Blake, by others of his color. Tho State cs. .Tea Mack, Richard and Lewis Mack, and the State cs. Thomas Howard. These cases were taken up at the same time, the parties being charged with assault and battery and riotous as? semblage. Mr. T. B. KING appearod for the three first, and Mr. W. E. MIKELL for Howard. Verdict -Guilty in both cases. THE BILL OF MORTALITV.-It will be see a by the bill of mortality published elsewhere that the num? ber of deaths during thc past week is twenty-five, nineteen of which are colored and six white. Of thc lau T five are children and ono adult, while there are eleven colored adults and eight whites. This remarkable discrepancy is owing, principally, to the careless mode of Ufo observed by the colored people and to their neglect of all precautions ne? cessary for tho preservation of health. The portions of the cify iuhabited by this class aro usually long ranges or dilapidated shanties, which aro frequent? ly tenanted by several families. The Summer has fortunately been extremely healthy, but the cold weather will soon thin their ranks, and, unless groater care is taken, and they booome more prov? ident, the number of deaths will be largoly in? creased. There are many, and, we believe, a largo portion of the colored people who are careful in their habits, and who, haring been brought up in a city, aro not apt to neglect any sanitary precau? tions; but the country negroes, who are entirely unaccustomed to city ways, herd together in un? healthy localities and soon fall victims to disease. EJNG STREET IMPROVEMENTS.-The fashionable portion of King street is one of the few localities in the city where a fire has not proved a loss. The houses destroyed by the devouring element have been generally rebuilt with moro taste and with more pr?tentions t) architectural beauty than they had previously possessed. Tho heat of the fire that destroyed Queen City Hotel had scarcely died away when the rubbish wis removed, and thc work of rebuilding was commenced. The late Alderman EARLE was the contractor, and undor his management the work progressed rapidly, until interrupted by his sudden death. It was, how aver, soon resumed, and Mr. W. KTNSMA?? and Messrs. Foo ABITE & STIXLMAN became the occu? pants of thc new stores. Of the appearance of these stores it is almost useless to speak as they nave long been the objects of attraction to the shopping public Messrs. FOGABTLE & STILLMAN lave opened a fi. il stock of seasonable dry goods in :he North store These goods have been chosen 'or this market, and will prove, on inspection, to JO what they are warranted. Mr. W. KINSMAN, the ?roat candy man of Charleston, has established lis headquarters in the adjoining store, which be ?as fitted up with great tasto. His lady cnslomers rill find everything arranged for their conve lience, and will be pleased to learn that he has not orgotten the chef t?ouores of his art. and confec ionery of every description can be obtained at his granters. Those in search of delicacies to tempt he palate will find them at this establishment, There everything known to the professic n is fur ?ished ad libitum. AUCTION SALL OF REAL ESTATE. Me isi s.

A RADICAL CIRCULAR.- The State Central Com mittoof tho South Carolina division of the "Union League ol America" have issued a circular design? ed to discipline and consolidate thc freedmen of this State so as to enable the patriotic whites who are manipulating them to carry the State in their own interest, and thus ride into places of profit and power. Tho greater part of the circular is made up of regulations concerning the details of party action and voting; but the following para? graph which we extract will sufficiently show the spirit and teniver of this precious document: "Ballots.-It is advisable that the strictest sc cresy with regard to the vote we ar? to use in tho coming election shall bc maintained; it is there toro recommended that there shall be no ballots exposed till the dav of election. It is also recom? mended that certain uumistakepble emblems shall appear on thc ballot, so that those who cannot read will know that they are voting tho right ticket. It is also advised that strict instruction ?hall bc given that no name on the ticket regularly nominated shall be scratched or toni off-that tho whole ticket shall bc voted. Should differences exist in opinions with regard to candidates, they must bo settled before the nominations ure made. " fJnUy of Action.-lt ia imperative, if success is hoped for in our cause, anil that opposition to our policy and principles shall be defeated, that divisions and distractions in tho party ?hall bu prevented, that unity and harmony shall prevail; tiieroforo all who.bolt the regular uouiinatious, or lend themselves fx> conservative or rebel interests or influence, sha ll be considered enemies of repub? licanism-worthy of denouncement by our party, and looked upon as the foes ot humanity, justice and equal rights. Such men shall be made odious as traitors to the great hope and interests nf the nation, as well as a race." Malaria Everywhere. Rarely has there beeu a season as fruitful as tills of malarious diseases. Not onlyon the prairies and in the valleys of the West ; uot merely in all the old haunts of Fever aud Ague and Bilious Re? mittent Fever have these prostrating diseases been unusually virulent; but they have extended to to ?YUS and cities never before infested with them, and have even ascended the mountains und attacked thousands ot people supposed to have oeeu placed, by laws of Nature, above the.r reach.

OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE t ALLIN D ALK, BAUN WELL DISTRICT, S. C., J March 1, 1867. J Messrs. Little rf Marshall : GENTLEMEN : I used, during th j past season, one of 'Ingersoll's Portable Cotton Presses," purchased of you aBt September. I have always been prejudiced in favor if the "Screw Press," and nothing but dire necessity in lueed me to try any other. I take pleasure, however, In dding my testimony in favor of its entire adaptation to he wants ot a cotton plantation. It has surpassed my uoat sanguine expectations. I have packed with bnt wo hands, yet I preter four-two at each lever. My >ales all weighed over 600 lbs. The tiret lot I sent to narket averaged 562 lt* My impression ta that 500 lb*, s about the capacity of the Press, and a greater number >f pounds subject the fodow-block to too much risk, un ess the sides or the cotton box was increased. It would uld greatly to the value of the Press li the cotton box trott ten inches longer, hi haste, I am, very resnectJiOy, Your obedient servant, kc, B. W. LAWTOST P. s. I took my Press down and earned it some four niles to pack the crop of a neighbor, who failed to have i "Screw" built; he was so much pleased that he has letermined to abandon the "Screw" and purchase "In? {orson's Press." B. W. L. OFI ICE OF KINO'S MOUNTAIN RAILROAD COMPANY, I - YOBKVILLE, S. C., April 16,1867. J GENTLEMEN : I have just received your letter ot Feb? ruar}' 14th-upon my return to this place, alter aa ab ?euee of two months-and this reply may be too lat? fer y onr "Descriptive Circular of Ingersoll's Cotton Pre?." The Press 1 used in packing my cotton last year worked admirably, packing, with ease from 500 to 525 lbs. With good ucUvo bauds to work it, I am satisfied that from eighteen to twenty bales might readily ba [Kicked in a day. This Press combines the advantages of lightness, and con ..(.quent portability and simplicity (being easily mau aged bj any one of ordinary Intelligence!. Great com? pressing force, with little motive power, and "last, but not least," it ls worked entirely by hand, thus saving tot the farm horses thc hitd labor imposed upon them by the use of the ordinary ..Screw."
