ACCIDENT OS THE SOUTH CABOLLNA RALLSOAD AT AUGUSTA.-While the shifting eugino on this road was backing through the streets in Augusta, on Monday afternoon, a little boy and girl, named Hansborger, ran across the track and attempted to get on the tender.

C., has been long known as a suita? ble pli.ee to restore the health of those that weroj diseased, and the dry bracing climate has made it f peculiarly popular among many classes of invalids. The vioinity is very hilly and picturesque, and the water-power in the neighborhood admirably suited to the erection of manufacturing establishments, the streams '-eicg of a never-failing character and are at all seasons free from ice. It bas been known for some time that a stone, valuable for milling purposes and equal :o the French '''Burr stone," was in the region around, and that porcelain clay of the finest description was to be had in unlimited amounts, but we are pleased to say that these are not th? only natural products of great value to be found there, as we learn that a gentleman, former? ly engaged in business in this city, has been the fortunate discoverer of an unlimited deposit of j "ochre," said to bs of the most valuable kind known to commerce, for which he bas been offered a very large sum, and that he is about making ar? rangements to bring it into use immediately.

AUCTION SALTS OF REAL ESTATE.-Tuesday be? ing the regular auction day, a number of sales of real estate were made by direction of the Masters in Equity, at the old Customhouse, in Broad street. Mr. Jas. L. Gantt sold, for Master James Tupper A lot of land with the buildings thereon, known as No. 58 King-street, for $1650. A plantation, situate on Cooper River, Charles? ton District, called the "Woodlands," containing one thousand sevsn hundred and tweDty-twoacryjs, being foir hundred and sixty-seven aores of swamp and low lind, end one thousand two hun? dred and fifty-si.* acres of high and pine lana, for $1650. A plantation, situate on tho west side of the western branch ot Cooper River, known as "Mul? berry," containing four hundred aud sixty-so\on aores, for $3000; terms one-third cash in each case, balance payable in yearly instalments. At the same time Messrs. Leitch ?t Bruns sold for Master J. W. Gray The lot of land with tho building;! thoreon, situ? ate at the corner of Tra ld-street and Bedon's Al? ley, measuring in front on Tradd-street twenty tbiee feet four inches, and in depth ono hundred and ninety-four feet six inches, for $3o00; one-third cash. The lot of land ou tho East side of Mazyck street, between Magazine and West streets, hav? ing thereon two framed dwellings, ono partial? ly burnt, a brick kitcheu, and other outbuildings, the lot measures in front twenty-seven feet, and in depth one hundred and twenty-five feet, for $825; terms cash. The plantation or tract of land, situated about eight miles from the city of Charleston, in St. An? drew's Parish, belonring to the estate of the late Rev. Patrick O'Neill, measuring five hundred acres, for $2000; oue-fourth cash. Thc plantation or tract ol' land, called Rico Hope, situated iu the Parish of St. John's Berke? ley, in the District of Charleston, on the east side of the western branch of Cooper River, measuring one thousand seven hundrod and niuo acred, more or less, comprising two hundred and seventy-one a:res of rice land and marsh, and the residue pro? vision, wood, roservoir, pine and other lands, for $21,075; one-fourth cash. This latter sale is the largest that has been made ia Charleston for years, and, though the property in question is extremely valuable, tho present depreciation of real estate is such that the price realized is a flattering testimonial to tho abili ty of Messrs, Leitch & Bruns, the auctioneers. The Widows' Home Bazaar. WHAT Ora RETOBTEB SAW AND HEABD-ALLCRXNO SCENES-THE COStPANT, THE DEC. BATIONS, AND THE SUPPLE. The Carolina House was last night tho contro of attraction. Tho long expected Bazaar was opened, and tho once desolate rooms sparkled with light and echoed with tho silvery sound of merry laughter. Tho large parlors on Broad-street wero thrown into one, and tho walli and booths were elaborately wreathed with garlands of evergreens tastetully entwined with moss and palmetto. On entering the Bazaar thc visitor pauses at tho threshold, for its there that THE WIDOWS MITE is collectod. Thia contribution was asked of all, and few bad the heart to rofuso the appeal. A i moss-covered basket, over which stood a repre? sentation of a blonde young widow leading her children by the hand, invited the fractional cur? rency of thc charitable, and though the receptacle was by no means diminutive, tho porsuasivo elo? quence of its fair custodian soo., '"auaed it to be ulled to overflowing. On cither sido of the room wero tables embroidered in moss and evergreens, and presided over by ladies who knew well how to represe at their causo in its most attractive light, and to charm the cash from the attentive listeners. THE FISH OF FOBTUNE was a cunningly-devised improvement on the grab-bag. Its capacious mouth was always resca? to furnish gifts to any adventurous party who sought tho favor of the fickle goddess, and the popular leviathan was always surrounded by a bevy of laughing children anxious to try their luck. THE AECHEB'S T7.EE waa another device to allure the greenbacks from their resting place; and tho ante-room, which waa shaded by its foliage, was hardly large enough to accommodate all who gathered beneath ita branch? es and took chance shots for a fortune. The tree was lieautifully constructed of various evergreens and festoons of grey moss hung from the boughs. The ladies and their attendant cavaliers who had it in charge wero busily engaged in marshalling their hosts and preparing thom for the mimio tray. In the main room the booths were garnished with every variety of fancy and ornamental, plain and useful goods, which were ail sold at the im? mense sacrifices usual in such cases. A set of sil? ver, presented by the Adger fam?y to bo raffled for the benefit of the Home, attracted consider? able attention. "Louis Quatorre and his Court," were manikins dressed in court coatumes, who disdained not to exhibit to simple republicans tho splendors of royalty. DAME FOBTCNES BOWEB was within a mossy grotto, whore a wood nymph lurk?d, dumb under every influence save the magic power of tL"? greenback. Tho walls of the grotto were studdou with curiously colored egg8, which contaiued within their shells the awful scrolls of tate. THE POSTOFFICE, An inseparable adjunct to a welt conducted Bazaar, furnished the latest intelligence to the malea, and, unlike tho institution on Hasel-atreet, it had letters for all who applied. It was well patronized by tho visitors, and from their pleased looks, it was evi? dent tbat it was a model postefflce, and furnished no bad news. Amor g the objects on exhibition at the different Staads is a fine porcelain picture of Mrs. General He ward, the President of the Southern Relief As? sociator at Baltimore. A miniature cot of furni? ture, ca ved by a maimed soldier, also attracted univers: I attention; but the articles for sale were too nun erous, and too tastefully arranged, to be mentioned in detail. All were alike beautiful and deserving of praise. To those who wore disposed to combme comfort with pleasure, THE SUPPEB TABLES wero open. The hungry guests were served by blooming Hebes who brought visions of Paradise before our reporters dazzled eyes. Every delicacy calculated to please the palate was served in pro? fusion. The prico was moderate, and the supper was unanimously voted to be a perfoct success. Our reporter did not dissent from the general ver? gebet. CONTBIBUTlONf. The ladies of tho Home art indebted to their friends in Baltimore and Wv hmond for many of their decorations ; but tho j-.easing arrangement and grouping of the whole s due to them alono. Actuated by tho noblest m jtives, they have sur? passed themselves, and have rendered the Bazaar a thing of beauty to be th' mght of, dreamed over, and remembered by its v'suors as a bright oasis in the dreary waste of dullness and hard times through whioh we are gassing. The Bazaar will r ? kept open during tho ro? ra under of the W? ek, between twelve and three o'clock, and after deven P. M., until tho hour of closing. Everyb .?dy ought to go. P.EGULAB Itaanra OF CITY COUNCIL.-Present Bis Honor Mayor Gaillard, and Aldermen Wragg, Small, O Neill, Oakes, Honour, Euston, Courtenay, Ravenel, Olney, Cosgrove, Gerdts, Wh?den, R. M. Butler, Steinmeyer, Willis. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. Sundry applications for licenses were received, and reforred to the Committee on Licenses. A petition from the Palmetto Fire Company, asking tor an appropriation of $1800, to enable them to procure the necessary hose and reel for their engine, was read. The company stated that they desired to bo placed on the same footing with others in the department, and at present thoy had but one hundred and fifty feet of hose, no reel, and the one in uso was borrowed and in bad re? pair. The petition was referred to the Special Committee on the Fire Department. An invitation from the German Lutheran con? gregation to Counoil to be present at thc ceremo? ny of laying the corner-stone of their new chinch in King-street, and also granting them thc privi ledge of laying any papers in the cavity. Ac? cepted. Sundry bills from thc different departments of the city government were read and referred to the Committee on Accounts. Tho monthly return of the Harbormaster was received aB information. The report of tho Keeper of the Tidal Drains was read by the Chairman of the Committee, Al? derman Wragg, and reoeived as inf .rmation. The Committee on Accounts reported favorablo on sundry bills. The Special Committee on the Fire Department requested that the petition of the Pioneer Com? pany be referred to the Board of Fircmasters. Re? ferred. Tho list prepared by the Ci*y Treasurer, show? ing the assets and liabilities of the city, also thc name; of delinquent tax-payers, and the amounts due, was read by the Mayor. On motion cf Alderman Willis, the list waa or? dered to bo kept in the Treasurers office, each de? linquent to be notified by him, and, if the amounts due are not paid, the list be published on tho first of February. Tho vote being taken, the motion was lost. The Mayor stated that Lieutenant Copes had tendered his resignation as an officer of the police force on ac:ount of ill-health, and referred the matter to Council, who accepted tho resignation. Tho Mayor asked for information regarding the reduction of tho polico force, tho bill stating that two Lieutenants were to be dropped. He wished Council to act in the matter, or to suggsst what course he should pursue. On motion of Alderman Courtenay, the Mayor was requested io consult with tho thief of Police, and state to Conned at the next meeting what officers should be dropped. Alderman Olney offered tho following resolution : That hereafter no person be employed to collect the rent of lands and other property cf the city, and that the Treasurer be instructed to notify ton ants that the amounts must be paid at his office when du?. Adopted. Un motion thc election of Commissioner of the Poor, to till a vacancy, was postponed. Council then went into an election for Keeper of the Artesian Well, and from a number of candi lates Mr. A. C. Welton was elected to fill the position. There being nu further business Council ad? journed. ^_ THE CHBISI-MAS TBEE, nourishing at Commins1 Hall for tho benefit of the new organ at St. Paul's Church, <vaa green again last night, loaded with burniui, hghts and all manner of good things. This fair has been one of the best conducted and most successful we have cvor known in Charleston, and the ladies connected with it merit the highest praise for their indefatigable assiduity, which alone could have accomplished what has beeu done. The crowds appear to increase every night, and this, notwithstanding the performances at the Hibernian Hall, "all right" though they were. Tho Post Baud again indulged thc audience with their usual fine music, very much superior to the Ja? panese Band, which, however all right in Japan, is car-splitting here. Wo are requested to state that at 10 A. M. to? day their Japanese majesties will honor the Christmas tree with their gracions presence, at which time the Post Band will also be there to celebrate the auspicious event, PEKSONAL.-M. Alexandr* de Bellaigne, the new French Consul lor Charleston, arrived yesterday by tho "Champion," and is staying at th 3 Mills House. M. de Bullaigno was formerly French Consul at Naples. EXECUTION AT PICKENS C. H.-The majesty of tho law, says the Keowoe Courior.was vindicated on Friday lust, by the execution of Nat Frazuro, col? ored, for the murder of young Hunnicutt. His accomplices, five in number, go to tho penitentiary for stated periods, the longcet term of which for De;cmberGadsdon is Gvc yours. Ocn STE ASTEES.-Tho lato heavy snow storm at tho North, which waa ouo of much violence and duration, caused tho detenti' n of several of our steamships bouud North from this port; and from partial information received in relation to the force of the gale at sea, it was feared that some of them might have been seriously injured; but we are happy to say that from intelligence received yesterday, they are no doubt ad safe, which might have been conjectured from their known sea? worthiness, and tho capacity of their officers. Tho James Adgcr is reported at the Delaware Break? water out of coal, but will soon bo through to New York, and the Moneka arrived at tho litis: place safely, after a trying passage. The ^deanships bound this way, having the windgcucraliy in their favor, did not feel tho f ree of the blow. THE JAPAST.SE perform most wonderful feats no doubt of that- but they aro not very amusing ; the muBic is perfectly shooking, a caterwauling would bo delicious in comparison. The fife is pretty much tho san.o instrument we know it, but < those horrid banjos, and the more horrid drum ! The balancing and tho top-spinning, the twisting ind the vaulting are superior to anylhing evor be? fore brought to this market. We are not learned in tho Celestial tongues (being of the earth earthy) ind therefore failed to comprehend all that was said by the Japanese gentlemen, who directed the periormanccs. The attendance waa large and comprised the elite of the city. The littlo Japs pa?sing through tho audience peddling "fans" and "pickshcrs" afforded great amusement to the little folk. EXPLOSION OP A SHELL IN MAUEXT-STBEET MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF THE INMATES OF THE HOUSE IND BYSTANDERS.-Yesterday evening about four j'clook, a loud explosion was heard in tho city, which was thought by many persons to bo the re? port of tho sun-down pun; but, on investigation, this theory proved to ho incon ect, as it was found I lhat the sound had been caused by the explosion of a shell. It appeared that a colored man named Tas. Stephens, who was iu the employ of Mr. Paul H. Doerzoph, endeavored to extract the powder from a shell which he found on the premises in Market-street, near Einer. Tho shell had been in the yard since tho bombardment, and was suppos? ed to bo harmless, as it had boen exposed io the weather, and was partially filled with water. Stephens had placed this shell in tho proper posi? tion, and had commenced a fierce attack upon it with an axe, but had passed barely a dozon blows whon the shell retorted by blowing up. Stephens was hurled into the house, and the fragments took different directions, one demolishing tho sashes and frame work cf tho windows, and tho plaster? ing of tho house. Another lodere J in the wall cf the Adger building, immediately opposite, while a third struck near tho door ol Mossrs. Maokay & Baker's furnituro warcrooms end missed two littlo boys, sens of Captain Mackey, but by a few inohos. Thc colored mau who undertook tho job was compara? tively uninjured, though his clothes were set on Bro and he was somewhat damaged by tho concus? sion. The noise of tho ex. lu.s.on alarmed the neighborhood, and a large crowd soon collected., who scanned tho premises closely, but the ama? teur artillerist got no thanks for his performance, except from those who/ considered that "variety was tho spice of life," and were glad of the change from tho monotonous past. Tho Exchange House, where tho accident occurred, was some? what injured, but with tho exception of an unsight? ly scar on thc walls of the Adgcr Building, no dam ago was inflicted in that direction. Stephens had been told that old shells were worth sixty cents when cleaned, and he was en? deavoring to perform that operation when tho ac? cident occurred. It has shocked him sufficiently to make bim remember the old adage: "Alas I what perils do environ. All those wno meddle with cold Iron." HOTEL ARRIVALS.-Milts House.-J. H. Hughes, Jno. P. Wyatt, M.

We proposo, from day to day, to refer to tho new advertisements of holiday goods which appear in the NEWS, which advertisers should bear in mind, if they wish to appear in the holiday directory. Wo havo seen nothing more recherche in the way of Christmas presents than the carved statuettes and fancy articles of Sorrento wive im? ported by Joseph Walker, Broad-street. A look at these elegant gifts is worth a visit to his storo. But if, in these hard times, givers should prefer to blend the useful with tho ornamental, they must be hard indeed to satisfy i..' in tho vast collection of furniture which fills the warerooms of Messrs. Mackey & Baker, they cannot find an acceptable offering. Tho steck of children's car? riages offered by these gentlemen is particularly large ?nd varied, and the prices such as will '-defy competition."

Now, what is required to fortify the system against the attacks cf disease thus engendered 1 Clearly a TOVTO, which, acting through the stomich upon tho circulation and the nervous system, shall redetermine the vital fluid to the surface, and brace tho nerves of motion and sensation.

Thcao throe grand requisites of a Winter restorative exist, in their fullest perrYction, in HObTETTEE'S STOMACH BITTERS, which are compounded of the purest vegetable stimulants and extracts, ol tho most genial and h?althful roots, barks and plants that the herbalists and botanists of the world have yet discov? ered.
