RELIEF FOB THE Poon OF IHIS ClTT.-The ap? propriation order, just issued by G noral Canty, provides a fund of eight thousand dollars, to be paid out of thc revenues of tho State, shall be de? voted to the relief of the transient poor of the city of Charleston. DECEASE OF A WELL Known CLERGYMAN. Throueh a letter rec ived iu this city wc learn the painful news of the death of Rev. William Croo!-, widely known through tho State as one of tho old? est and most laborious Ministers cf tho Methodist V Episcopal Church, South, in this State. He peacefully breathed his last on Monday evening. 28th November, at half-past C o'clock, at nis resi? dence near Fort HUI, York District. A SENSATION PARADE.-Yesterday afternoon three attaches of thc Bia k Crook company created no little excitement on the streets by attiring them? selves ia burlesquo costumes, f.ud traversing thc popular routes at a Gilpin speed, on black charg? ers. The young "nigs" were especially edified, and followed in an unmitigated swarm, cheering at the top of *heir voices. One of tho mounted advertisers was arrayed in green tights, with tas? sels, &c, dopending from his skull cap covering a masked face; the other two were coit jmed in red flannel, and rodo in tho rear of their ostensible leader. They finally wound np their doing3 by re? tiring to the yard of the Hibernian Hall, at tho gate of which a host of juveniles gathered, and only left when satisfied that tho sensationista would appear no more. AN OASIS.-lt is refreshing these times, as it is rare, to meet any one not as "blue" as all tho rest of ns. People from the country used to bo looked upon as "green,"-but the huo now most preva? lent among the gentlemen from tho rural parts ia unquestionably of tho cerulean order. "C jtton tait" - "factors' advances"-"hard times"-"st*y laws" -and other such cheerinl topics strike thc ear al every turn. This is the case not h^ro or there, in a few unfortunate localities, but everywhere throughout the South-perh ips we ought to say al? most everywhere; for a friend, just irom Abbeville, informs us that during a recent tcur through that District, ho was gratified to ?od the planter.; not disposed to grumble more than usually at this sea? son of the year, to admit even that they have mad : fair average crops of corn and of cotton; and that while tuey have made no money, they have at least the wherewithal to live couifo.tably daring the next twelve months. Our friend is a reliable T man, and we are therefore bound to accept even bis statement in relation to the fact of actually having seen with his own evos gundry "shoats"' running at largo in that District. Sausages and spare-ribs, therefore, are not countod among thc unattainable luxuries ot our Abbeville Mends. EVERY DOO HAS HIS DAY.-The dog lax has always been a bone of eonteation in tba State Legislature, each Representativo urging -hat cer? tain dogs should be exempt from the tat, bul ii has generally been decided that dogs must not live a useless life, and their owners were compelled to contribute their quota to the support of tho Government. This enactment bas had but little effect on the canine species ; they have flourished and multiplied, a'..ci each census has sbown an increase in their numbers. Legislation has failed to control their growth, and it was wisely resoircd to let each dog have his day, and do bis utmost to aid the country by increasing the revenue. In this connection, it is gratifying to stato that, in the new tax bill lately prepared by GenoraJ Canby, this clause has been retained, without tay debate, and the dogs will hereafter be consid.-rcd an influential class in the community, though as yet they have not advanced sufficiently in the social scale to be accorded tho rights of sufiiv.ge. The black and tans are, however, by far the most popular, and it is fair to presume that, with thc increased advantages now afforded, they will eventually become far advanced in civilization, and will resent the poll-tax as an indignity.

This, it is proposed, should be dono by tho Germans of > Charleston, ES a thank-offering, for the preserva? tion of their frier.?s during a long sea-voynge, and their safe arrival at this port. As they, moreover, came in on Thanksgiving Day, there is a peculiar propriety in our German fellow-citizers making this acknowledgment to tho goodness of Provi? dence. It is proposed, also, we understand, to prosent to Captain Wieting a new suit of colors for the , "Gauss," in appreciation of his urbanity, his skil- , ful seamanship, his many q ulities of head and , neart, which make him the right man in tho right place. Such a mark of esteem is specially his due , from the Germans in Charleston, as it is under- ? stood he h\s come to this pori at a positivo los?. , rather than carry a double freight to New York, or other Northern port3-all because of his friendshp for our city and her people.

Melchers, who has, for some months, been presenting in Germany the interests of South Car? olina as a homo for the emigrant. Y>V foar Mr. M. will be disappointed in regard to any appropria? tion from the Legislature, either tor this or any other object ; reason-there being no Legislature of South Carolina. We hope, however, that our merchants will take into consideration thc sugges? tion throwu cut by Mr. Melchers, and do what lies in their pon r.' to prevent the failure of an etitc r prise that promises to contribute so much to th? material no less than to the political prosperity of the State. OLDENBURG, November 15,1567. Genera' John A. Wakener, Commissioner : DEAR SIR,-By to-d-iy's mail I send you a variety of papers, among them you will notice a paper irom friend Herman Meier, which he is now pub liBhing.

A new Emigrant paper bas been started in Bremen; I sent au advertisement, and the edi? tor wrote a email notice at the rate of 6 gr. per Une. It ia hardly worth it, as tho paper stems to be entirely in the"interest of California.

I'HABLESTOH BOAED OF TBADE.- At the reguli monthly meeting last night, Mr. Hastie, Chairma of thc Executive Committee, pieseuted tho fo lowing reports, all of which were adopted: L That the President of tho Board of Trade I requested io call tho attention of the Light Hons Board, through the Collector of tho Port, to tl' deficiency of lights in Charleston Harbor. 2. That, whereas, ibo parties residing in thi zr.? ihe neighboring Southern States are indebtc to members of this Board in tho large oem < $7,500 OOO, principal and interest, by actual con putation for debts duo before thp war, and belio\ ins that our present stringent law in hobing res dents of tho neighboring States to bail has di terred many persons who would have visited u with a view to compromise, from making any al empt to advise personally with their crediton therefore, R'so'xco', That a Committeo be named by th the President to draft a petition to GenoralCanb to auspend all bail writs for debts contracted prc vious to tho 9th of April, 1865. The fellowing is tho Committee: W. 8. Hastie fl. Cobia, E. Baies, D. F. Fleming, W. G. Whil den and E. W. Marshall. 3. That iu considetation of the present depress ed condition of tho cotton interests of the South tho President of tho Board of Trade be requcstci to appoint a committee to draft a memorial ti Congress, asking a bounty of one cent per pouni on all raw cotton exported from the United Statei after- dato, until the whole amount of ta: heret.'lorc leviod upon cotte a shall have been rc turned; provided, that no bounty shall bo givor after thc crop shad have roached thrco and a hal million of bales. 4. Thc comparative small amounts of capita which have reached us have beon loaded with suet heavy rates of interest as to destroy all hope o. a-am making tho South a great agricultural coun try. Tho culture cf cotton is a matter which interests tho pooplo of tho ifholo United States; it is a pow? erful agent in adjusting tho balance ot trade with Europe and the world r.t large. The first great point of deficiency is capital ai a : air rate of interest. This point attained, laboi will bo easily commanded. Your Committee wuu'd recommend that our peculiar condition be brought to tho rttention of Congress by a Com mitte from this Board, and that said Committee bo authorize J to ask Congress for a loan of a por? tion of the money collected as a tax on cotton ia the shape of national banks, to established at 3uch points and under such direction as the wisdom of Congress may direct. The following gentlemen were appointed as a Committee under tho third and fourth reports: W. S. Hastie, E. Willis, G. W. Clarke, L. D. Mowry and W, C. Courtenay. Mr. H. H. DeLeon offored tho following pream? ble and resolutions, prefaced by a few appropriate remarks. Thc resolutions were seconded by Mr. Froneherger. and unanimously adopted: For the firrt time since our organization we have been derived of a useful and respected member by t e hand of death, and while we bow in sub oiission to thc will of the Almightv in removing from our midst our late member, James P. Earle, it becomes our duty to express our great regret at bis loss. Mr. Earle was a good citizen and up? right man, and by his honesty and puritv of char? acter, won the respect and esteem of bis fellow men. Ile has occupied several positions of honor, .nd at his death was an Alderman ot tbe city. He tvas always ready and anxious to lend lus "aid to iiU measures tending not only to advance the in? terests of the commercial, but of the entire com? munity. Bo it, therefore, Resolved, That in the death of the late James P. Earle, the Board of Tracie has lost a good and use? ful member, and thc City ol' Charlostou an upright iud honest citizen. llesob id, That thc above preamble and resolu? tion be entered upon our minute ,, and that a copy oe sent to his family. licso'xid, That this preamble sud resolution bo published iu thc daily papers. Thero being no otha business, thc Board ad lourned. Immediately afterward, hov.ever, tho Board re tsscmbled, to receive a report in relation to the ax hill. Mr. Bates, from a committee of merchants, up oointed on tho COth of October, to confer with 3 D ral Cauby, presented a report. Wo have space only this morning tor the ioiiow irj , ;tract irom General Cauby's reply to the [siter of the committee: Elie fir I clause, Gcne/al Order No. it>2, ap nil meres itile transactions, whether upon commi sion or otherwise, when the property in? volved was actually parted with before tho passage ol tbe ad imposing tho tax." [Ibis, therefore, annuls the retrospective tax ou i ali p: sse I by tbs Legislature of 1866. | R?GULAI MEETTXO OF Cm COC.NCIL.-Present : His Honor tho Mayor ; Aldermen Ravenel, Wragg, Gerdts, Small, Steinmeyer, uinev.

An ab-tract c I thc number of tho poor admitted and persons relieved during the year wes also shown, malicing of the first a total of 4J8-33'J natives and 99 foreigners ; of those re? lieved outs.de the total was 1857-1423 natives and 424 foreigners. Tue report was received as infor? mation. The Leard of Commiosiondrs of ?he Orphan House transmitted thtir annual report: The School Committee elaborated aa to thc arrange? ment of that branch, and stated that thc efficiency of that department would lu much weakened by thc action of Council. Long observation had con? vinced them of tho necessity of paying every at tention tj the education of their charges, and a reduction of tho appropriation would effect no good. At a mooting of the Board thc following resolutions were passed, and ordered to bc pre? sented to Council : Jiesoioed, That it is the opinion of the Board that tho school of thi* Institution is now conduct? ed upon a system of the closest economy, and that any reduction in the appropriation must be detri? mental to the most important part ot the charity dispensed in tho House. R to eel, That t'.io Chairman of the Board bc requested to communicate to tho City Council thc annual report of the School Committeo for ISM and "(?7. and with them the above resolution and our earnest request that thc sum heretofore al? lowed us for the purposes 0f the s hool be not di? minished. Bills from the Alms House, amounting to $2924 18; from the Orphan House, $3011 93; the Gae Company, $2321 13 ; were referred to the Commit? tee on Accounts. The Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings presented a tavorable report on tho potition of X. C. Luden to repair his building at the corner of Montague and Coming streets. Adopted. The Committee on Licenses returned an unfa? vorable repoit on tho petition of L. Bunch & Son to renew their auctioneers' licenses, thoy having failed to comply with the terms, and stating that it was necessary to execute a new bond. Adopted. Sundry applications for licenses were reported on favorably, and report adopted. Tho Committee on Accounts reported favorably on the bill of Bussell & Jones for stationery fur? nished the High School. The resolutions offered by Alderman Wragg, at thc last meeting, in relation to standing commit? tees and the Committee on Accounts, werp read and adopted. Aldetman Marshall offered the following resolu? tion, which was adopted : Resolved, That the City Treasurer report to Council, at tho next regular moating, tho entire indebtedness of the city, which is to inelude all subscriptions to railroads and other enterprises entered inio by the city ; also, to furnish Council with the assets of the city in tho way of stocks, bonds, &c. Adopted. The Mayor stated that the City Treasurer had been called on to furnish a list of defaulters (tax payers) and tho amounts due. Tho Treasurer had found it impossible to pr?paie this list, but there were about six hundred names of delin? quents, and $91,000 due tho city. On motion of Alderman Courtenay, the election for keeper of the Artesian Well was fixed for the next regular meeting; and, on motion of Alder? man Easton, the election to fill the vacancy in the Board of tho Commissioners of the Poor was fixed for the same time. Alderman Butler presented the bill to regulate the salarie.? of public officers, and for other pur? poses, for engrossment, and it was engrossed in due form. On motion, Council then adjourned. ACCIDENT TO DAN. CASTELLO'S MENAGEKIE. From tho "Mobile News" we learn that on the 25th ult., a portion of tho train of the Mobilo and Great Northern Bail way was thrown off the track: Thc cars had on board Castello's and Van Am burg's Menagerie. The accident was caused by the springing of a rail, and ?ix cars weru precipi? tated down a forty foot embankment-three plat? form and two stock cars. The cages of thc ani? mals were upon the platform cars, and were thrown off, smashing them up. A lion, three bears, two tigers, hyeua and hippopotamus were thereby turned loose, and produced much excitement. One of the bears getting hold of a beautiful Amer? ican deer made short work of her. After great difficulty all of tho animals were secured with tho exception of tho hyena, who showed fight; she was finally knocked" senseless by a blow from a heavy pioco of wood and thrown into a cage. Mr. Lewis Burrows, attached to the circus department, waa killed, an . four others severely woundod. One horse was ki .jd and several liad their eyes knocked out. Thc ton vent ion Election*.

This stock has been select? ed with great care, and comprises every quality of clothing, from tin? suits to those designed for la? borers. It is seldom that similar opportunities are presented, .md those persons who wish to se? cure a serviceable suit for a small outlay should have nu eye to their own interest, and invest im? mediately at Messrs. E. Bates A Co. HAnpWAUE. -There are perhaps few business houses that havo a more extended reputation than the hardware establishment of Messrs. Hart A Co., at the coiner of Eing and .Market streets. Tho business has leen conducted at thu stand for many years, and Hart's hardware store is known throughout thc State. Since tho war the business was resumed at the same old stand, and a new and full stock ol'every article was cbta.ned. Messrs. Hart A Co., are now prepared to furnish their friends with a full selection ol hardware that will meet with their approval. FROM TUE WEST LSDIL9-Secretary Seward's proposition to annex several of the smaller West India Islands hae found favor with man / persons, and Mr. John B. Togni, an enterprising fruit im? porter of tuis City, has recently obtained a large supply of the productions of these islands, which he bas on exhibition at his stand, No. 125 Meeting street. Mr. Togni bas a full stoek o; fruits, se gars. Ac., which he soils at the lowest rates to his numerous city and country cu?'.omers. He deals also in jellies, preserved fruits and other luxuries indispensable to the enjoyment of the Christmas holidays._ TUE GOLDEN GUN.--Slr. Samuel R. Marshall an? nounces to his friends that he has largely increased h\3 stock ot hardware, and can fill all demands, from a paper of tacks to au anvil. The sign of the golden gun ie weil known to the citizens of Charles? ton: and they have found from experience that Mr, Marshall's establishment ?a stocked with every ar? ticle in thc hardware lino. As most porsons re? construct their households during tho Christmas holidays, thero arc low places where the ma? terial ie more abundant, i'uan under tho aign of tho golden gun. CHEAP FcnsiTtjEE.-With tho approach of the Christmas holidays goods of every description aro being sold at lower rates and inducements offered to the public to invest. Thia is especially mtice ablo in certain branches of business, but particu? larly in the furniture trade. A great reduction has been made in the prices, and valuable sets can be procured for a moderate outlay. Mr. R. White has recently lowered the tariff on his stock at the large furniture wardrooms on the earner of Meeting and Wentworth streets, and now offers to his customers bargains in furniture that aro seldom equalled. Mr. White is determined to make the holidays a merry season, and has gene? rously placed his prices within the compass of the most slender purses. A visit <vill convince all doubterp. P. H. B.

The preparation is a mild and gentle Jahne cathartic, alterative and tonie, and is most rare fidly prepared in the form of a snow white powder, con? taining all the wonderful medical properties of the far famed Seltzer Springs of Germany. Of its effects WP would say that those who have lested the preparation aro the best judges, and Uley declare over their own signatures that tho preparation will promptly relieve indigestion. Regulate thc flow of the bile. Cure every species of headache. Tranquilize tho nervous nyptem. Refresh and invigorate the weak. Miti gate the pangs of Rheumatism. Neutralize acid in the Stomach. Cleanse and tone the bowels. Assist tho ailing appetite, dire the heartburn. If you are a sufferer give this Remedy o:ie trial, and it will convince you of the above tacts.

In old time;., at the commencement of every season, it was the fashion to take a strong cathartic as a safeguard against a change of temperature. It was a w r=e than senseless practice. The people of our day understind the matter better. Instead of depleting tho system they reinforce it. In tho method they adopt they exhibit a wise discrimination. Instead of resorting to tao vitiated stimulants of commerce, or any of tho compounds deriv? ed from them, they put their faith in the only absolutely pure invlgoraut procurable in tho market-HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BI i TERS. '.(heir faith is well found? ed. Never bas any tonic medicino been prepared with such scrupulous precision and conscientious cire. It is a vegetable compound of which overy ingredient is sound, wholesome, and medicinal in the true sente of the word. Now, we have three prominent national com plsints. One half of the adult population of ihe United States suffer more or less, either from diseases of the stomach, derangements of tho liver, or affections of the kidneys. In no other land under Heaven aro these mala? dies so general as in this country, and HOS ?ETTER'S RITTERS is a spociflc for them all, unless organic in their origin, and, therefore, beyond cure. And let those who are fortunate enough to be exempt from them at present understand one great fact, viz: that an occa-uon al use of this vitalizing tonic will as certainly prevent them as the sun will prevent the earth i cn? ff-ezing whore its genial beams descend.
