THE MARKET STREET STEAM FLOUR MUX.-lil describing this mill in yesterday's issuo, we unin? tentionally styled it Claussen'u Steam Flour Mill. Tho mill is owned by Messrs. JOHN CAMPSEN A Co., whose reputation as fl mr and grain merchant*, is so well known that the mistake was at once appar? ent. Messrs. CAMPS' ? A Co. deserve all t '"aise that can be given t.? em, and partios visiting thoir mill will find that their facilities for conducting a largo business have not been overrated. THE COURT CF EQUITY-CHANCELLOR W. D. JOHNSON PRESIDING.- The argument in the case of the Cavings Institution and tho right of certain parties to become defendants was resumed. Gen? eral SIMONS spoke against and Mr. MCCREADY in favor of the petitioners. The argument occupied the entire morning, Mr. MCCREADY closing. Chan? cellor JOHNSON will give his opinion at an early day. This case has excited considerable interest, as there aro a large number of depositors who are anxious to have the affairs of tho institution wound np in some equitable manner. JUVENILE AFRICAN DEPRAVITY.-TWO small dar? kies, one of them a chimney sweep, over whose heads some twelve summers bad passed, made a raid on some kine in the Burnt District, and suc? ceeded in driving two of the horned tribe to tho shambles. Thoir dark deed was soon discovered, and the perpetrators arrested, but the bovines were no more. Their gentle low will be no longer heard, and their owners arc bewailing their lo3s in sackcloth and ashes. Tho cows have passed out of existence, and, unless tho meat is recog? nized in the market, the owners will never seo them more. HOTEL ARRIVALS.-Thc different Hotels still continue to havo full lists of arrivals. We note the following : Pavilion Hotel.-AV. H. Hennon, Orangeburg; J. H. Lewis, Lexington ;%Jas. W. Pickering, Elmi? ra, N. Y.; W. W. Farrow, Abbeville. Cliarleslon Hoie/.-S. T. Dearing, Augusta; A. Horsch, New York; A. L. Evans, Marion; R. P. Bird, Baltimore: H. H. Fox, Louisville; J.

Bly, Warr?u, Ga.; C. R. Thompson, Fort Motte. MAYOR'S COURT.-A colored Salon who spoke several languages fluidly, found that when he be? came drunk he could not talk plain English. This disgusted tho linguist, who vonted his spite by a fierce onslaught on tho street doors along his route. He rang bells and created somu excite? ment, which was only allayed by the arrest of tho midnight marauder. He was sent for threo weeks in retirement, where h ; could chew the bitter end of reflection. Bull pitched into Elizabeth, and she responded gallantly, jerking his wool furiously. The lovely pair were carried to tho Bar of Justico, where Eli? zabeth was sent up for three divs. This affected ber lord and master terribly, and caused him to hand over his only $2 greenback, which ho pledg? ed for her good behavior. Her bonds were loosed and sho was sent on hor way rejoicing. THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. This Association was organized about 1854, and bas ever since preserved an active and vigorous existence. Tho war interrupted their sessions, and for a time the Association existed only in name. Their books, papers, furniture, Ac, were all destroyed at this period, and at their reorgan? ization they were destitute of many essentials. This, however, did not doter them from their duties; the vitality of the Association remained, and the energy of the surviving members soon placed the Society iu itf former position. A hall was engaged in King stn et, and though originally a small band, they gradually increased in num? bers uutil they wero ena'led lo make many the the necessary adoptions to thoir hall and reading room. The Association have recently secured a fine ball in King street, over Messrs. FOGABTLE A STILLMAN'S store. This is now being prepared by the carpenters, but will soon be completed, the Association having already moved some portion of their furniture. MILITARY MOVEMENTS.-WO learn from the Wil? mington Poet that Major-General L. THOMAS, Adjutant-General of the United States, left that city on Wednesday evening, for Florence, S. C. He is travelling throughout the South on duty, be? ing on an inspection tour of the different Soldiers' Cemeteries throughout the United States, and has already visited several of the burial places in North Carolina. Ho reports that the cemetery at ?Salisbury is in a very bad condition ; that at Raleigh is passable ; the one at Newborn very good, and that at Wilmington "discreditable." General THOMAS will proceed from Florence to this city, where he will examine into the condition ot the iliffetent Uuion burial places at this point. Leaving Charleston, he will visit Morris Island, Georgetown, Hilton Head and Beaufort, thence to Montgomery, and from Montgomery to Anderson ville, Marietta, Savannih, Augusta, and Lawton, Ga., after which he will make the tour through the State of Florida, whon, after inspecting tho cemeteries already founded, he will estabbsh two others, one at Tallahassee, and another at Jack? sonville. This will complete his tour of duty, when the General will return to his post at Wash? ington city. HALLOWEEN. There ia perhaps no night in tho year which lias boen stamped with a moro poon liar character than that of tho 31st of October. Thc games then practiced are clearly n relit- of Pagan times, tor there is nothing in tho church observance of "All Saint's Day' ' to have origina? ted such extraordinary notions as aro connected .ii this li- ii val. The idea respectin." Halloween U that it is the timo of all others when superna? tural influence? prevail. It is a nisht set apart for a eniver ia! walking abroad ol* spirits; anti divi? nation ia then behoved to attain its highest power, and the gift of calling spirits from tho vasty deep becomes available to all who chose to avail themselves of tao privilege. Different ritos for the invocation of spirits arc practiced, by which the exp?rimentera obtain a knowledge of their future life, and learn tho result of their love af? faire. Tho ceremonies aro now of a light and sportive character, but there were formerly others of a more weirtl-liko and fearful descrip? tion, which have fallen into disuse BURNS poem of Halloween gives ft fall description of tho fireside customs of this night, but, iu all, the ef? fect is tho same,-tho appearance of the future husband or wife of the experimenter. Children boru on this evening were supposed to possess supernatural powers, such as the gift of second sight, and perceiving and conversing with spirits invisible to less favored mortals. ALL SAINT'S PAS.-This festival, which is cele? brated on tho first of November, follows that of | All Hallow Evo or Halloween, and takes its origin from tho conversion, in the seventh century, of I tho Pantheon at Rome iuto a Christian t .ace of | worship, and ita dedication hy Pope BONIFACE IT. to the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs. This event was at first commemorated on tho first of Hay, but was subsequently changed tc the firat of November, which, under tho designation of AU Saints' Day, was aet apart aa a general festival. Ii has been retained by the At-ghcan Church. In the Roman Catholic Churches to-day tho services will bo as on Sunda v. NOVEMBER. This is generally regarded as the gloomiest mouth of the year, and was styled by the anciont Saxons Winl-monat, or the wind month, from tho gales that are prevalent at thia season of the year. It waa also called the Blol monalh, or the bloody month, from the large uura ber of cattle that were theD slaughtered for winter use. In more temperate climes there is, perhaps, less enjoyment derivable from exterual objects in No? vember than in any of the twelvo divisions of the year; it has been popularly regarded aa the month of blue devils and suicides, but in this climate it is a bright aud cheerful season. The Indian Sum? mer frequedtly extends through the entire month, and the beautiful weather thon enjoyed makes it one of tho most exhilarating montba of the year. Except in the sunny South November has always borne the character of a blustering, disagreeable mouth, and leaden skies, dense fogs and heavy rains are not unfrequont occurrences. These gloomy features are peculiarly applicable to the climate of England, and were happily described by tho inimitable humorist, THOMAS HOOD, in the following stanzas : "No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease; No comfortable fuel in any member; No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees; No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no buds ; November." RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE.-An old colored man, who had sold his crop for $60, went up to Graver's wagon yard to buy somo supplies. While there, bo waa accosted by Joe Mitchell, a flashy colored youth, who, finding out that he had money, rung in with him, and having succeeded in winning the old man's confidence, made off with the money. The case was immediately reported to the Detec? tives, who soon arrested the guilty party, and $53 in money and goods were recovered. Mitchell was turned over to the Court, triod and convicted, on last Wednesday morning. He will ' ) sentenced m a few dava, and will be prevented from iudulging iu his grasping propensities for some time. THE CHARLESTON ZarruNO.- Our sprightly Ger? man contemporary, in its last issue, saya : "Weare verv much gratified at the kindly notico the daily press of the city have taken of our enter? prise, and desire to express our thanks for tho same. Besides the object of furnishing au organ in their own language to our German countrymen, we have deemed it of great assistance in tho measure of immigration, to possess a medium of correcting many misrepresentations that aro now disseminated in Germany by a partizau press, sub? sidized by Northern and Western ageucies. in this view it may perhaps appear proper to such even of om- fellow-citizens, as aro unac-painted with the languago of our paper, to eucourago its circulation and advertising custom. But those especially that have their children taught the Gor? man, should put our Zeitung into their hands as a valuable auxiliary of instruction. They maj take our assurance that nothing will bo admitted into our columns that can be in t ie least objectionable. We have determined to avoid all criminal details, and to write and select only such articles as shall bo really useful. We would rather bo instructive than spicy and entertaining, if it shall ap ear then that our enterprise is deserving of approval, let the public not fail to award it." THE ARTESIAN WELL.-About Hie year 1845 it was decided in Council to have an artesian well bored, which should supply the city with water, and the superintendence ot the work was assigned to General A. H. BRISBANE. He commenced bor? ing in the lot at the corner of Meeting and Went? worth streets, but met with no success, and, after a trial of some months, relinquished the attempt. Major WELDON, the present engineer and superin? tendent, was appointed in 1848, and commenced operations on the same lot. The first well was com? pleted in 1854, having been sunk to a depth of 1250 feet, and yielding, from a 3-inch bore, forty gallons per minute at the surfaoe, and twenty-five gallons at a height of 10 foot. The well now being bored was commenced in 1856, and in I860 had reached a depth ot 1200 feet. At this depth the quick-sand was reached, and hy the influx of water this sand was forced up the tubing nearly 300 feet. In endeavoring to remoro this sand a bucket was caught, and the suction was so great that it could not be removed. The war soon inter? rupted all proceedings, and for some years the work was abandoned and the scaffolding allowed to decay. By the present Council an appropria? tion o? $5000 was made for tho prosecution of tho work, and new fixtures and apparatus wero fur? nished. Major WELDON has labored steadily to ex? tricate the bucket, and would have succeeded but for somo obstructions that have recently been lodged in the tube. Tho appropriation was not sufficient to continuo the work, and, for the past few wooks, it has practically been at an end. Tho recent report o? the Retrenchment Com? mittee advises the discontinuance ot all work on the artesian we'l, and recommends that a man be appointed to keep tho lot and property, at a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars per month. This is a sai blow to those parties who have fondly ex? pected to have our city suppliod with water from these wells; but the experiment baa been tried for many years, and a large sum of money has been literally sank in these wells without obtaining tho anticipated result. For some time the arte? sian well will be but a monument of the past, and it will depend upon tho futuro prosperity of the citv- whether the work is ever resumed. The artesian baths have been too well patronized to be discontinued, and we trust tho Committee will empower the janitor of the premises to pre? serve them in their present state of usefulness. There are now about ten bath rooma on tho prem? ises, and thia number could he easily increased and the lot made remunerative. At present thc smaller well yields about thirty gallons per minute, while that which is choked up will still add several gallons to this amount, with proper attention. This supply could be made available for bath purpose j, and both the public and the r-ity benefitted by the enterpriae. II. II.

TOBACCO.-The lovers of tho weed will be pleased to loam that Mr. I*. MULKAI has re? ceived a large invoice of tho best brands of smok? ing and chewing tobacco, prepared in various waya. Mr. MCLKAI has recently removed his business from Meeting street, opposite the Pavilion Hotel, to Messrs. RISLEY k CREIGHTON, 113 and 145 East Bay. Thc change in location has been necessi? tated hy an increase of business, and thc stand hoing larger, there ia more spacofor diaplay. Mr. MULKA i is tho exclusive agent for aeveral manufac? turers, and as his consignments are received ovory week, the supply is always fresh. Tho genuine Durham tobacco, which has become so popular with smokers, can be found nt hia establishment. - ? ? ? THE MERCANTILE INTERESTS OK FLORENCE.-Flo? rence is, perhaps, moro closely connected with Charleston than other interior towns. Originally a small station, ?ho has outgrown many of her older and more pretentious neighbors, and is to? day ono of the moat flourishing inland towns ol the State. Florence has developed rapidly since the war, and her progress has been marked by an earnest desire on the part of her business men to improve and beautify their town. Tho railroad work ahopa and other enterprises tonded to assist her growth, but her advancement has boon mainly duo to thc oxertiona of her own citizens. Her merchants have been prominently engaged in this work. Their stores aro supplied with every arti? cle needed by their customers, and as they are enabled to communicate with a large aoetion of the country, they frequently receive large consign? ments of cotton and provisions. Among the business men of Florence few are better known than Captain JEROME P. CHASE; his extensivo anny acquaintance, added to his own business qualifie it ions, havo enabled him to com? mand a large trade, and his store ia ono of tho finest in tho town. lu addition to his business au a merchant, he receives largo consignments of cotton from Darlington, Marion and Williamsburg Districts. Iheso are sent lo Charleston or Balti? more, tho taxes paid and advances made in Flo? rence. Captain CHASE has, by theae moana, b^ilt up quite au important cotton trade m this section, and his factors in Charleston, Messrs. (ILAESEII, LEE, SMITH &, Co., have received frequent con? signments from his liando. Though au offshoot of Charleston, Florance has been a credit to her founders, and while lier mercantile interests are managed by such men as Captain CHASE, there is no doubt of her ultimate prosperity. ? ? ?

C., > March 1, 1867. i Messrs. Lillie d- Marshall: GENTLEMEN : 1 used, 'uring th? past season, o:ae of "Iugersoll's Portable Cottuu Presses," purchased of yon last september. I have always been prejudiced in favor of the -Screw Press," and nothing but dire necessity in? duced me to try auy other. I take pleasure, however, ia adding my testing ny in favor of its entire adaptation to the wants ot a cotton plantation. It has surpassed my most sanguine expectations. I have packed with but two hands, yet I preter four-two at each lever. My bales all weighed over 500 lbs. The first lot I sent to market averaged 6621 ? .a. My impression ls that 600 lbs is about thc capacity of the Press, and a greater number of pounds subject the foilow-bloek to too much risk, un? less the sides of the cotton box was increased. It would add greatly to the value of the Press if ?ae cotton box was ten inches longer. In haste, I am, very respect?illy Your obedient servant, Ac, B, w. LAWTON? P. S. I took my Press down and earned it some four miles to pack the crop of a neighbor, who tailed to have a "Screw" built ; he was so much pleased that he has determined to abandon the "Screw" and purchase "In. gersoll's Press." p. \y.

With good active hands to work it, 1 am "Rafted that from eighteen to twenty bale? ruigbt readily ta packed in a day. , " . . Thia Press combines the advantages ol lightness, and consequent portability and atiapUfto (bein? easily man? aged & any one of ordinary intelligence).
