Keitb, who, during the war, executed thirteen persons in the Laurel Valley in Western North Carolina, has been arrested by order of General Canby and conveyed to Charleston for trial. The persons executed were "raiders"' who claimed to be Union men. A NEW GBADE OF COTTON.-Those who deal in the staple are familiar with the different grades of ordinary, middling, and strict middling, and can generally tell the quality at a glance; but there are sometimes new grades px .seated that puzzel even the cotton connoisseurs. Among the bales re? ceived yesterday at Accommodation Wharf were several consigned to Messrs. Kendall & Dockory, and branded 4'None Such." Some desire was mani? fested to learn the exact standard of this new brand, bat the bales remained unsampled, and tbe curious were compelled to depart unsatisfied. MASONIC ELECTION.-At the annual communica? tion of Orange Lodge No. 14, A. F. M., held at Masonio Hall, December 9th, 5867, the following officers were duly elected and installed to serve for the ensuing Masonic year: Ero her C. INGLES BY, W. M. Brothel- ZIMMERMAN DAVIS, S. W.

Bosch, the brig Shannon for Havre, being tho first cargo for the French market which has left this port this season, and consisted of 5 bags Sea Island, 1103 bales Upland Cotton, aud 25 tierces B.oe. The last article is the first shipment of the Cajrolina grain tl a French port, worthy of notice, made since the war. The trade from this point to Havre was formerly very large, but has been some? what interfered with by cotton from other parts of the world; but we hope that this shipment is the revival of an old businoso that may largely in? crease and be mutually advantageous. THU CHARLOTTE NEWS,-This spicy shoot, pub? lished in the flourishing little city of Charlotta, North Carolina, has recently changed hands. Messrs. 9. D. Haldon and Henry Moetzo have purchased the paper and parp?se making it a live sheet, if energy aud integrity will avail in it- man? agement. Messrs. Hutson & Meetze are natives of this city, practical printers, and energetio and intelligent gentlemen. They carry with them our sincer?< wishes for their success in journalism, and we bespeak for them a warm and hearty reception j and abundant snpport .rom the citizens of Char- I lotte. Oar merchants and business men will find the Charlotte News an excellent advertising medium in which to extend their acquaintance in the section of country in which it circulates. EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.-Governor OIT has par? doned Hodge, who was sentenced to the peniten? tiary for killing Durant, in Sumter, a few weeks ago. Jeri Ferguson, colored, sentenced to be hung, hu had the penalty commuted to tan y~*-? in the penitentiary. Nat. Frazure, colored, was bung in Pi'\?ns Dis? trict on Friday hat.

CHARLESTON HOOK ANO LADDER COMPANY No. 2. -The steamer Manhattan brought yesterday as a portion of its freight a new Hook and Ladder Truck lor the Charleston Fire Company of this city, and, in accordance with a notice given in the papers, the company, under the command of their chief, were promptly on board to receive their new pet The Hook and Ladder No. 1, tendered their now breth? ren an escort, which was cordially acc.-pted, and the two companies passed through the principal streets, each drawing the others truck; No. 1 un? der charge of their foreman, Mr. Jos, Hilton, be? ing in the van. Although Hayue-street was not in their direct route, tho office of THE DAILY NEWS was honored by a passing glimpse at the parade, and the unusual sound of a gong caused the win? dows of our printing office to be more attractive tbanthe cases. After escorting No. 2 to their house in Wentworth-street, and placing the truck in proper position, No. 1 performed the same duty for their own machine, and the two oompanies re? paired to the hall of the Charleston No. 2, whore a bountiful collation had been spread, and where the efficiency of the new truch was pledged in flowing bumpers. The two trucks are very similar ia size and ap? pearance, althoash the one is new and unused, while the other is aattle-scarred and flre-3tained. They were built by tho same maker, Mr. C. E. Harishcrc, of Not? York, No 2 having six ladders, from ten to forty-two feet in length, twelve short hooks, ten long hooks, and six medium sized, ono chain hook, two pick-axs3, one crowbar, and four axes, besides four small lanterns and one large one ?'hich surmounts the truck. The workman? ship is faultless, ant1 tho truck has a light, a'xy appearance. .1'he Charleston lire Company have aoted wisely in making tl ', ohango in their organization, as there aro nc* a largo numbsr of engines in ser? vice, andthoreoent fires in the city have shown the efficiency of a good Hook and Ladder Compp . ny. The Charlestonis one of the oldest compa? nies in thc department, and have never faller", to act up to their motto, "We are ready!" I ie jr e*prU de corp still remains, and though the Engine Company IB defunct, the Hook and Ladder Compa? ny will emulate the exploits of its predecessor, and there ?iii be a generous rivalry between Nos. 1 and % aa to which shall raise the first ladder at future pm. The Question of Convention. The following table has boon prepared wit h caro, and conveys all tho information of a reliable char? acter, m rogard to tho result of the tlectiou for a Convention, which has thus far been received. Speculation*, in rogard to tho probability or improbability of tho Convention being earned, are still premature. The total registered vote is 127,039 ; required majority, 63,545. Tno vote for and against Con? vention, as far as ascertained, La 62,572. Several of the Districts, however, are still unheard from, und tho returns from them may change tho rosult. i'ho impression now is general, we believe, that the Convention ha* been carried.

HEBBXW ORPHAN SOCIETY.-The sixty-sixth a n nlversary of this 8oeiety was oolebrated yesterday. The usual dinner was dispensed with, we leam, on account of the stringency of the times; members very properly thinking that the amount necessary for auch an entertainment will be put to better purpose by expending it in charity.

THE SUNNY SOUTH.-The antral of a large num? ber of passengers from the North, on Sunday, by the "James Adgei"-many of them en route to Florida an 1 other localities in the South, suggests a few thoughts on tho mildness of our climate during the Winter months. The last two or three nights have been a little fresh, but during th9 day tho weather baa been delightful, ciear, bright, bracing, yet not disagreeably cold. A little exer? cise, a "constitutional," or at?l better a dose of old-fashioned healthy work, 60on accelerates tho course of the arterial fluid, and brings the glow cf health to tho tender cheek of youth. Rosy-finger? ed morn imprints a kiss 0:1-bah, wo are getting sentimental. This won't do. We only meant to say that the weather is delightful, tho aun pleas? ant, the sky clear, the air ooft and delicii.ua, the "poppinao"-(opoponax, did you say, Miss Pcechcr? Perhaps so-wo will discuss that nice point ia floral etymology nt another time)-the roppinac cut in full and odoriferous bloom. The IOBCS and the violets shed their delicate perfume, blonded on :h3 air with the fragrance of the hyacinth and the chryeanthern. i he rich, golden fruit of the orange troo, luxuriously pendant from tho back? ground ol deep green ioiiage, affords a ploture the oyo oin never weary of beholding. Of the health of the city v;o spoke yesterday. Sufficient here to say that the doctors are nearly all exempt irom paying any income tax; tho ma? jority of them are riding S'ianks' mare. Tho apothecaries are dead broke, the city is BO distress? ingly her.lthy. Now is the time for strangers to visit us. Cold and icy Winter reigns beyond ua, while boro wo enjoy the balmy and bracing braezes of a mild Autumn. Chill November's surly blast pissed us unscathed. In fact, ocr November was not chill, and hi, blasts were not surly; and, from present appearances, December also 6eoms in? clined to deal gently with us, and make the fur coat ard cape of old Santa Claus only traditionally necessary. Fmar.cially and oomme.-oially, the season is en? veioped in unusual gloom. But witn ShakEpeaxe we may say, "Now ia the Winter of our discon* tent made glorious Summer" to the pilgrims from distant Northern e?mes, COEONES'S INQUEST.-A negro child was found dead yesterday under circumstances seeming o warrant a Coroner's inquest. \Vo wcrtrunablo to obtain particulars, boyond tho tact that the Jury returned a verdict, that tho child had como to its death through carelessness of tho mother, and for want ot medical attention. Tnn CUBI?TMAS TBEE at Commins' Hall ia at? tracting consideraba? attention in tho oity. The young foiks all over the city aro on tho qui vive, anxious to sso 'Christkindel," and delighted to have Christmas come before its time. Ia addition to all (he other attractions, already unnounood, we aro glad to learn that tho Post Baud, under tho able leadership of Mr. Thomas Weldon, will play at the hall every day during tho exhibition. Tli?3 in itself will be a great inducement to many to visit the place. Tnn MEW GEBSIAN LUTHERAN CHUECH.-Wo called attention a few days ago to the progress of this work, and it ufrords us pleasure now to an? nounce that th3 corner stono of the Church will be laid on the 28th instant, with appropriate core monies. Ibis chur:h, when finished, will bo the largest and handsomer., and its steeplo the highest cf any iu the city. A v< ry neatly exocuted design of tho front elevation of the building, drawn by Mr. William Walker, of thi3 city, is now to be seen at the old church, cornor Hasel and Anson streets. The building will cover in depth about 155 feet, and iu width 75 feet. Height of ceiling C5 feet, height of steeple 235 feet (St. Michael's being om\> 187 feet). The galleries will be extending on North and South 6ides and on East end. Capacity about 2500. Tho architec uio is Gothic, in some respects resembling tho Cathedral, though it will be brick, whilo the latter waa built of brown stone. The plan is a composite of tho old German and Norman-Gothic architecture of the middle ages plain, yet grar.d in its simplicity. Tho probable cost of tho building, wo learn, ia estimated at about SCO.O00. Wo congratulato our German fellow-citizens on the prospect of getting eo fine a house of worship, and sincerely hope they may not be delayed by any unusual or unforeseen difficulty in the prosecution of their pious purpose. GENEBAI. JAIL DELIVERY.-At h alf-past 7 A. lt yesterday, about thirty prisoners confined in tho jail were turned into the yard for thc purpose of emptying thoir slops. Whilo thero, somo of the prisoners managed to steal an axe from the wood? house, and rushing at the gato, succeeded in forcing the lock and making their escape before Mr. Hazeltine, tho jailor, who was prosont, could interfere. As soon as practical, ho closed the gate and securod the yard, but ono white and thirty colored prisoners made their escape. The police? man who was on guard outside saw the escape, but was able to arrest only one of the party, as, with the exception of his club, bo was unarmed one of tho prisoners making a blow with an axe, whioh, fortunately, prov.d harmless. Information of the escape was at once given to tho police au? thorities, and the detective force were mounted and sent in search of the prisoners, but to a late hour last night only two arrests had been made. Tho gate from whioh the prisoners escaped waa fastenod by a padlock alone, though it had beon previously secured by an ospagnielette. Fre? quent applications have been made by tho jailor, Mr. Hazeltine, to tho Commissioners to have the gate secured by a stronger and more serviceable lock, but from want of funds this was not dono. Most of tho prisoners who made their escape were confined for larceny, vagrancy, and similar oti'onoes, Some of them had not been brought to trial, and a few wore to bo sent to the State penitentiary at an ?arly day. The following aro the names of the escaped prisoners: Ben. Saundjr8, Peter Miller (white); Robt. Arto pe, Henry Townsend, Jake Eivers, Joe Grant, Thoa. Sasportss, Charles Williams, Henry Williams, Dublin Grant, Jefferson Williams, Nathan Tread? well, Nero Wilson, Jessie While, Andrew Wilson, Abel Goddcs, Richard r.ollins, Bea Simmons, Henry Screvon, Samuel Gayle, Nelson Johnson, Daniel Middleton, John Gaiters, John Samuel, John Wilson, Jos Williams, William Johnson, alias. Jones, francis Ladson. THE PIONEER CO-OPERATION SCOTETX or CHARLES? TON.-This Society, the first of its kind in thia oity, ia now fully organizod, and but tor some unavoid? able causes of delay, would have commenced ope? rations with tho new year. It numbera nearly sixty mesabere, and ha3 an amount of m one v in the treasury sufficient to justify the opening of a store immediately. Tho drst of January was the date fixed for thc Btart, but it has been found im? possible to secure possession of the store before the first of february, at which time they will, without fail, establish a cooperativo grocery store, in Market-street, near Meeting. A: thoir last meeting, W. J. Gayor, Esq., was elcctod Solicitor of the Society, and .was authorized tc present a petition for a charter to Chancellor Johnson cn his return to this city. The Pioneer Society is com? posed principally of mechanics, tho working men of the community, and tho bone and B?ECW of the country. They have determined to make the ex? periment, and have gone to work with a rssolution that leaves liUlo doubt of their ultimate success. These societies havo beou conducted in Eu'o^e with great satisfaction lo tho members, and, in many instaacos, tue mjney invosted has paid a handsomo dividend. TutNEWS has steadily ad? vocated the lormation of smilor associationo in Luis city, believing them, if properly managed, to be of irreut assistance to these wno aro dependent on their daiiy exertions for a support. The Pio? neer, as its neme indicates, is the first that has de? termined to test the success of tho enterprise. So rar, they bare surpassed their own anti;?pations, and if thc store ia conducted and supported with ihe seme earnestness hitherto exhibited, there can be no doubt as to the suocesstul result of the venture. THE MEDICAL COLLEGE.-Tho lectures at this institution, now in progress, are not public; but trusting upon our usual good luck, and the cour? tesy wo havo always met at the hands of the gen? tlemen of thc Faculty, we dropped in yesterday morning, betwoen 10 and ll o'ebek-Prof. Shep? ard's hour. We wont to tho chemical lecture room, and there saw soated upon the benches about sixty young gentlemen, whoso appearanoo, figure, form, faoo and dress-all marked thom, eveu to the most oasual observer, as medioal stu? dents. What it ia precisely that marks tho species we have never been able to determine satisfacto? rily; but certain it is that some je ne sais quoi of dress or bearing always distinguishes the y jung aspirant for medical honors; and in New York or Philadelphia we could always distinguish the South? ern medical student from the Yorker, tho Yankee, the Canadian and the Blue Nose. Dr. Shepard was lecturing to a very attentive class-many of the students diligently engaged In taking notes. The Professor was expatiating on the mysteries ol' electricity, illustrating his remarks at every step with experiments-grinding the subtle fluid off his machine in quantities to suit whatever point ho wished to elucidate. Dr. S. is an old ohemist, and an experienced and successful teacher. Familiar with the mysteries of nature through many sci? ences, he ia uover at a loss fer suitable and happy illustrations "Inductive Electrioitj" being too abetrusa a 3ub jeot to fathom witl?n half an hour, wo only gave it attention with one cranial hemisphere, tho other directing our eyes around the i com and taking men? tal notes. The general arrangement of thc lecture ro:m and laboratory has undergone many changes, the inicoralogical cabinet now being in the front room, the specimens all classified and neatly label? led. This colodi?n, tho Profeasor informed us, he designs enlarging considerably nest Wintor. A new chart of "Elements. ' embracing tho latest discoveries, atttuc ted our attontic-n, also a chart giving the cental metrical tables. Professor Shepard visited Europe during the past Summer, and brought with him, on his re? turn, all the latest improvements in chemical and philosophical (?) apparatus. Many of these In? struments came in the "Gauss''-the boxe i that contained thom aro still in tho hall, marked "Glas" (with one 8) and "Vorciehiig." Wo looked over thc apparatus, but as wo are net deep ia org.-.nlc ohemistry we could hardly appreciate thc delicacy of many cf these instruments. Among tliGm we saw a comh'JS.ion apparatus fer tho elementary iicaiytis cf orgau.c eubjtances. This is vciy com? plete; ?Iso a volumetric apparatus. Next the in? strument for spec ural analysis, by meau3 cf which thc ono hundred anti eighty niili.oiitb part o? a krain of aal?

A MARVEL 1-In the November number of a monthly publication, entitled " Tho Spirit of Mis- j sions," purporting to be edited for the Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, by the secretaries aLd general agents of the two committeea, and of | tho freedman's commission, we ?nd a communica? tion, under the caption of "Signs of Promise," touching tho improvement among tho colored peo? ple of tho South : As a single illustration of ?hat they are capable of in the higher branches of learning, we may mention the case of a native African in South Caro? lina, who is a thoroughly educated man, and a distinguished linguist; who converses fluently in teu diff?rent languages, and who is equally con? versant in tho Greek Testament and Koran. This man is now laboring as a field band, while he gives bia earnings to teaching his fellow-iabororB. And it is said, it his food could be furnished him, ho would earnestly devote his whole time to the education of some oighty children in his immediate vicinity. This statement is made on the authority of Brevet Major-General R. K. Scott, of the Freed? men's Bureau. BUSINESS NO HOES.
