Gilbert, Boston, Moss. The Fire op Yesterday Morning.?As wob premised in yesterday's paper, tbe tiro was con fined to the building where it originated, though its origin is as much of a mystery as ever, as no fire was used in Mr. Clancy's store, and there were no matches or combustible material in the establishment. Mr. Clancy was insured for eight thousand dollars in Northern Companies represented by Messrs. Colbuhn & Howell, and his loss will probably roach that amount, as but little of the stock was saved, and that mostly In a damaged condition. Messrs. John A Theo. Getty were insured for three thousand dollars with Mr. S. Y. Tuppeb. A small portion of their stores, consisting of coils of rope, wer? saved, but were considerably damaged by fire and water. None of the office furniture was saved by tbe Messrs. Getty, Mr. Esmard and Mr. S. M. Levis, the latter gentleman, who conducted the business of a Custom House Broker, having lost all of bis papers and records. Tbe British Consul's office, together with his archives and the records of the Consulate, were stored in large wooden boxes, and were entirely destroyed. Tnore vas some in surance on the furniture, but none of it was saved. The building was the property of Mrs. Dr. Smyths, and was insured for eight thousand dollars with[! Messrs. Co -jbubh A Howell. A New Enterprise fob Charleston.?Messrs. McKay A Campbell, tbe energetic auctioneers of Meeting street, have recently added a new feature to their business. Their sales of bacon and smoked meats were so extensive, that they were induced to change tho location of tbalr provision salesrooms, and to secure a smoke-house where the meat could be prepared ander their own super vision. They have opened these rooms on East Bay, between Wentworth and Hasel atrsets, and are now engaged in bnUding an office, and making other improvements on the property. The smoke house is a Urge building in the rear of the lot, and has * capacity of some forty thousand pounds. The interior haa been oxpreasly arranged for this purpose, and the smoking i* done by oak and hickory,'mixed with mahogany shavings, Which given a fine brown color to the meat.. A large quantity of this most has already been prepared for market, and has commanded a high price. It . has been considered Of s superior Quality to' the ' bacon brought from the Weak, and, being prepared OP the Bpot, can be guaranteed both sound and trash. This is, we htneve, the first enterprise of this description that has ever been started in the city; but, from the ohsraotor of the parties con nected in it, we feel no hesitation ta saying that H w?i pfovs s ?uc<voa?fal investment of bo?? labor and SanitaL : . . . . . .*'> .il - *.. ;l ttjfc ? n,j*.o?.-?-;>,?.?ft?f..eoi!? ?> ; , .'. ii.? ..,y o?Muiu .. </.?

Anthony Washington, BUI Williams, Bon BoUn, Cuffoe Nolson, Dick Hivers, Jack. Chisolm, Miles Galloway, Kim on Oadsden. Theso parties were indicted for a riotous and unlawful assem blage on the 2d inst. Messrs. Kino aud Lining appeared for the prisoners, and Messrs. Hatne and Mikell for the prosecution. The jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. This riot occurred about flvo miles from the city, and was an attack made on a negro of this city, Ephraim Blake, by others of his oolor. Tho Stato vs. Joe Mack, Richard and Lewis Mack, and tho State va. Thomas Howard. Those cases wore taken up at the same time, the parties being charged with assault and battery and liotous as semblage, Mr. T. B. King appeared for the three first, and Mr. W. E. MlKXLL for Howard. Verdict ?Guilty in both oases. The Bnx or Mortality.?It will be see a by the bill of mortality published elsewhere that tho num ber of deaths during the past week is twenty-five, nineteen of whioh ore colored and six white. Of tho latt ;>r five are children and one adult, while there are cloven colored adults and eight whites. This remarkable discrepancy is owing, principally, to the careless mode of lifo observed by the colored people and to their negleot of all precautions ne cessary for the preservation of health. The portions of the oify inhabited by this class are usually long ranges or dilapidated shanties, whioh are frequent ly tenanted by several families. The Summer has fortunately been extremely healthy, but tho cold weather will soon thin their ranks, and, unless greater care is taken, and they become more prov ident, the number of deaths will be largely in creased. There are many, and, we believe, a large portion of the colored people who are careful in their habits, and who, having been brought up in a city, are not apt to negleot 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. King Strebt Improvements.?Tbo fashionable portion of King street is one of the few localities in the city where a flro has not proved a loss. The houses destroyed by the devouring element have been generally rebuilt with more taste and with more pr?tentions to architectural beauty than they had previously possessed. The heat of the fire that destroyed \ Queen City Hotel had scarcely died away when the rubbish was removed, and the work of rebuilding was commenced. The late Alderman Eable was the contractor, and nnder his management the work progressed rapidly, until interrupted by his sudden death. It was, how ever, Boon resumed, and Mr. W. Kinsman and Messrs. Fooabtdg & Stillman became the occu pants of the new stores. Of the aapearanco of | these,stores it is almost useless to speak as they have long been the objeots of attraction to the j shopping public. Messrs. Fooabtte & Stillman have opened a full stock of seasonable dry goods in the North store. These goods have been ohoseu for this market, and will prove, on inspection, to be what they are warranted. Mr. W. Kinsman, tho great candy man of Charleston, has established his headquarters in the adjoining Btore, which he has fitted np with great taste. His lady customers will find everything arranged for their conve nience, and will bo pleased to learn that he has not forgotten the chef d'ouvres of his art, and confec tionery of every description can be obtained at his counters. Those in search of delicacies to tempt tho palate will find them at this establishment, where everything known to the profession is fur nished ad libitum. Auction Sale of Real Estate.?Messrs. Lett an A Bruns sold yesterday, in front of the old post office, the following property: A grocery, situated at tho corner of Hutledge and Queen streets, containing some four rooms, measuring on Butledge street 42 feet, by 128 feet on Queen street, for $1450.

A Radical Circular.?The state Central Coni mittoof the South Carolina division of Iho "Union League of America" have issued a circular design ed to discipline and consolidate the 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. The greater part of the circular is made up of regulations concerning the details of party action and voting; but the following para graph which wo extract will sufficiently show the spirit and temyer of this precious document: 'Ballots.?It is advisable that the strictest se oresy with regard to the vote we are to use in the coming election shall be maintained; it is there fore recommended that there shall be no ballots exposed till the day of election. It is also recom mended that certain unmistakeable emblems shall appear on the ballot, so that those who cannot read will know that they are voting the right I ticket. It is also advised that strict instruction shall be given that no name on tho ticket regularly nominated shall bo scratched or torn off?that the whole ticket shall be voted. Should diff?rences exist in opinions with regard to candidates, they most be settled before the nominations are made. "VnUyof Action.? It is imperative, if success is hoped for in our cause, and that opposition to our policy and principles shall be defeated, that {divisions and distractions in the party, shall be prevented, that unity and harmony shall prevail; therefore all whojbolt the regular nominations, or lend themselves to conservative or rebel interests or influence, shall be considered enemies of repub licaniam? worthy of denouncement by our party, and looked upon ao the foes of humanity, justice and equal rights. Such men shall be made odious as traitors to the great hope and interests i,f tho nation, as well as a raco." Malaria Everywhere. Barely has there been a season as fruitful as this of malarious diseases. Not orayon the prairies and in the valleys of the West; not merely in all the old haunts of Fever and Ague and Billons Re mittent Fever have these prostrating diseases been unusually viraient ; but they have extended to towns and cities never before infested with them, snd have even ascended the mountains and attacked thousands of people supposed to nave been placed, by laws of Nature, above their reach.' Hence we are compelled to admit that a ratal element pervades the Universal Air this sea son, and should at once resort to the only approved pre ventive of its consequences, HOSTETTEB'S STOMACH B?TTXS8, * tonic so potent, an enti-septio so perfect, au alterative so irresistible, and a stimulant so pure that it. enables the human system to resist aud baffto all the } predisposing causes of disease. With the confidence that one clothed in tocommvaUMo garments might move among Discing buildings, the man who arms himself against malaria with this powerful medicine may walk a fovot-soourged district fearless of its insalubrious atmosphere. The intermittents t*t?d remittents at pre sent so general in all parts of the country may be but r mepbitic oftcsea of ail epUtemics. Be wise In time.

Little d) Marshall : GiiNTLKMt.N : I used, during (he past season, ono of 'Ingersoll's Portable Cotton Pressos," purchased of you last Hepteinbor. I have always been prejudiced in favor of the "Screw Press," and nothing but dire uocossity in duced mo to try any other. I take pleasure, howovor, in adding my testimony In favor of lte entire adaptation to tho wants ol a cotton plantation. It has surpassed luy most sanguine expectations. I have packed with but. two hands, yet I prefer four? two at each ltiver. My bales all weighed over 600 lbs. The first lot T sent to market averaged 662 l^s. My impression is that. 1500 lbs. Is about the capacity of the Press, and a greater number of pounds subject tho foilow-block to too much rl*k, un less the sides of the cotton box was increased. It would dd greatly to the value of tho Press if the cotton box ras ted Inches longer. In haste, I am, vory rcspectftilly. Your obedient servant, Ac, B. W. LAWTON. P. 8. I took my Press down and earned It somo fonr miles to pack the crop o? a neighbor, who failed to have a "Screw" built; he was so much pleased ilia* ho lias, determined to abandon the "Scrow" and pnrcbaso "In, gersoU's Press."

The Pres? I used In packing my cotton last year worked admirably, packing, with esse from 600 to 626 lbs. With good active hands to work it, I am satisfied that from eighteen to twenty bales might readily be packed in a day. . Xhts Press combinos tho advantages of lightness, and consequent portability and simplicity (being easily man aged b, any one of ordinary intelligence). Great com pressing force, with little motive power, and "last, but 1 not least,'' it is worked entirely by hand, thus saving fer tile form horses tho hard labor imposed upon them by the uwe of the ordinary "Screw."
