MARSHALL & BRO. will sell this day, at No. 33 Broad-street, at 104 o'clock, mules, horses, cow, &c. THE NEW YORK MAILS, which had been behind hand for several days, came through in schedule time yesterday afternoon, bringing ur? quite an avalanche of Northern papers. THE RAFFLE for a gold card case, which was to have taken place at Badenhop's restaurant, has been withdrawn. Parties who have paid for chancels, will please call and have their money re? funded. SNOW.-We learn from tho Georgetown Times that a slight snow storm visited that place on Sun? day. It was also felt at Brown's Ferry, on the Black River, on Friday. The weather had since moderated. THE CHRISTMAS TREE will come to a close at nine o'clock this evening, immediately afcei which the articles remaining on tables will bo sold at auction. The poll for the cope will be open from six to nino P. M. PERSONAL.- Tho Rev. Lovick Pierce, of Georgia, one of the oldest and most distinguished minis? ters of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, arrived on the 18th instant, in tho steamer City Point, and is tho guest of his relative, L. Gani brili, Esq., No. 27 Meeting-street. A POSTOFFICE has been established at North Saut?e, Georgetown District, and a mail passes between it and Charleston once a week, each way, closing at the Charleston Postoffice on Tuesdays, at half-past 9 o'clock, and leaving North Santee for Charleston on Fridays. THE FARMER.-This valuable agricultural maga? zine has been merged in the Southern Planter, and will in future be issued under the latter name. Mr. Chas. B. Wilhams will be the editor and pro? prietor, and tho magazine in his hands will bc made the first and best agricultural magazine in the South. _^_ THE BAZAAR at the Widows' Home grows moro popular each evening. Last night the crowd was larger, noisier, more liberal, and happior than ever. The sales at the tables were brisk; tho chance lists weie rapidly filled up, and thc volunteer waitresses in tho supper room were kept constant? ly busy. We are happy to say that the Bazaar bids fair to realize a handsome sum in support of the Home. THE CHEITMAS TERE FATE Tat Commins' Hall continues to bo the centre of attraction, and is attended nightly by large numbers. We havo nightly visited the Fair, and though repeatedly plead'ug our exemption on "local" grounds, tho Ja?r could not see it; no bombproofs in that army. The exhibition has been as successful as it bas been brilhant, and, considering tLe tightness of the money market, the ladies who have had con? duct of it should feel much flattered at tho success of their charitable enterprise. The Fair will con? tinue for two nights longer, we behove. MASONIC ELECTION.-At a regular communica? tion of Walhalla Lodge No. 6C, the following breth? ren were elected to serve for the next year as officers : H. H. MULLER, W. M. R. ISSERTEL. S. W. H. BARKERDING. J. W. J. KRUSE, Treasurer. J. M. PETERSEN, Secret ny. 8. BENJAMIN, S. D. H. L1NSEBBINCK. J. D. J. RUGHEIMER, ? c.""^ G. DORKEWI1Z, J blewar?? J. H. SCHMIDT. Tyler. "ARIEL" ai His OWN DEFENCE.-In the NEWS of to-morrow will be published an original le' i .r from "Ariel," in reply to some of the answers which have beeu called forth by his well-known pamphlet on the negro, and in vindication of bis peculiar theories upon that subject. As the question at issne between "Ariel" and his opponents is one in which every person takes great interest, an unusually large edition of the NEWS, containing "Ariel's'* letter, will be issued; but those who desire to secure extra copies will do well to hand in their orders at our counting-room this afternoon. SOUTH CABOLTNA CONFEBENCE.-In another col? umn will be found the "appointments" of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Epis? copal Churoh, South. Our Charleston readers are particularly interested in the following: Rev. F. A. Mood, late presiding elder of Charleston Dis? trict, is succeeded by Rev. A. M. Chreitzberg, and Mr. Mood is appointed pastor of Trinity Church, Dice Rev. E. J. Meynardie, who goes to Charlotte, N. C. Rev. John T. Wightman remains at Bethel, and Rev. H. BL Mood, of thia city, is appointed pastor ol' the church in Summerville. Tho noxt Conference ie to be hold at Abbeville Court House, S. C. _ ^ ST. MICHAEL'S CLOCK.-Tho dilapidated condi tiuu of this old time keeper, and the independent manner in which its hands move over the differ? ent faces, has been a topic of general remark. The City Council, at last convinced of the neces? sity of controlling these erratic movements, have advertised for estimates for the repairing and cleaning that are requisite; also for estimates to arrange the striking apparatus. These are to be handed in before the 30th instaut, and the New Year will scarcely have commenced beforo the time of day will be announced as musically as in days of yore. At present, tho hours pass silently by, and the barefaced deceptions of the old clock put many a faithful watch upon the wrong track. -. ? . THE JAPANESE.-A large number of the outside barbarians wero present last night at the Hiber? nian Hall, and witnessed the wonderful perform? ances of the troupe. The boys, You Bot and All Right, are most astonishingly supple, and bend and twist their bodies in every conceivable man? ner. The top spinning and other features of tho performance are highly interest'.:?, a.id the exhil? arating airs that aro produced by the Japanese band sound like a mixture of all that is doleful. It may suit the Tycoon and his representatives, but is not up to the American iden of melody. The explanations are all delivered in the most classic Japanese, and are, of coarse, very intelligible, but this does not in the least detract from the merit of the entertainment, and tho interest is kept up throughout. REV. E. J. ME?NARDIE.-The Cnarlotto Demo? crat, of Wednesday, speaking of the appointment of thia geutleman to the pastorate of the Metho? dist Church in that place, says : "Wo feel rare that no more worthy and acceptable person could hav been assigned to this charge, and pre? sume tho announcement will be received with gen? eral satisfaction." Mr. M. has been in Charleston for several consecutive years, and served the sev? eral churches under his charge with groat accep? tability. The congregation of Trinity Church will lament the peculiar feature in Methodist econ? omy-the itinerancy-which makes those partings necessarv. The many friends of Mr. M. in this city, outside of the church, aa well as the members of Trinity, wUl ever remember him with affection, und will be always glad to hour of bis welfare and prosperity. - MILITARY IMPROVEMENTS. Since thc United States authorities havu taketi possession of the Citadel, they have thoroughly repaired and r:fitted it in every particular, and its present appearance testifies to tho completeness of the reconstruction. Their efforts have not been confined, however, to the Citadel building, but the Picket Guardhouse, the Barrett and the Boyleston houses have been treated in a similar manner. The workmen are at present engaged on the latter, and have already effected some improvements by opening windows and arranging the building for thc use of thc- laun? dresses and soldier's wives iu the garrison. The colored congregation which formerly worshipped in the upper part were notified to leave, and the whole building is being placed in thorough repair, and, when ?nishad, will compare favorably with the general appearance o? the Citadel and grounds. A sutler's store will be opened :n the lower story, the distributing officer of the bureau beLng re removed to Mr. Oppenheim'a house in King-street above Vanderhorst. THE HALCYON DATB.-To-morrow, the 21st, is tho Winter solstice, the shortest day in tho year, -.? thc seven days preceding and thc seven fol? lowing this day were called by the ancients the Halcyon Days. This phrase, so familiar as ex? pressive of a period of tranquility und happiness, is derived ; om ii fable that during this period, while tho Halcyon bird or King Fisher was brood? ing, tho sea was always calm, and might be trav? elled with perfect security by tho mariner. Tho name halcyon is derived from the Greek, and, ac? cording to the poetic fiction, common among that people, t tic bird was teprcsouted as hatching her eggs in i floating ne.it iu tho midst of thc waters. Aside from these fables, the halcyon days aro ap? propriately named on account of their proximity t ? Christmas, which is kept as a religious and .-. .ular holiday throughout tho world: nnd the fourteen days embraced in this period are gener? ally devoted to peacetul enjoyment, all business cares being forgotten aud the mind completely re? laxed. BALTIMORE AND PrflLADELPHIA FREIGHTS.-The latest reports of tho weather points to an early closing of navigation in the Delaware and Chesa? peake Bay. Ample provision has been made at Baltimore, however, to keep open communications, md no delays are anticipated there. During tho -mt season thc steamships Falcon and Sea Gull, of the Baltimore and Charleston Line, were found to bo equal to the task of "going through,' ice or no icc; and this year tboy will be aided ly the now icc boat. To accommodate their largo Philadelphia business, the Baltimore and Charleston Steamship Company havo made ar? rangements for their freights to go forward by railroad from Baltimore, so that dispatch is cer? tain, and a saving also of one-quarter per cent, in insurance over the usual ink nd water route between Baltimore and Philadelphia, now closed with i:o. Shippers and consignees to and from Philadelphia will note these advantages and order their goods accordingly. KING-STREET. -The Broadway of Charleston has now put on its Christmas dress, and the windows of the different stores along the most fashionable portion of the street are filled with attractive in? ducements f.-.r the numerous passers by to stop aud exchange their greenbacks for moro enduring articles. To enumerate the wonders that are dis? played is impossible, but it is sufficient to know that they arc appreciated by the crowds that throng this thoroughfare. Every train hos brought additions to the number of strangers, while tho jcau coats and lindsey dresses seen show that the wagon-yards have supplied their quota of country visitors, whose plethoric pocket-books will be somew hal depleted before their Christmas pur? chases are comploted. Tho strangers and the tort-1 are, however, the least attractive features of | the sireet, and fall iuto utter insignificance when compared with the fair promenaders, who distract the lords of creation and cause mauy heart-burn ii'gs among tho less favored of their own sex. Charleston has loug been celebrated for the beauty and grace of her daughters, and those who visit King-street during the fashionable hours or drop into thc Christmas 1 ree Fair, thc Bazaar or the Japs, during the evening, will be convinced that there are few cities that can boast a brighter array of lovely faces. King-street is daily thronged with tho fairest of the fair, aud all who desire to see the half-burnt city in its holiday attire should not fail io form one of tho gay promenaders ; the price of cotton will then be forgotten, the blues will Le dis tipated, and the belles alono will occupy the atten? tion. SALES OF REAL ESTATE.-Messrs. Lowndes & Grimball sold, yesterday, at the old Customhouse, three lots ou Mount-street, Rutledgo avenue, each measuring 40 feet by 133 feet deep, for $100 each, and one, 40 feet by 135 feet deep, for $140.

Encouraged by Ibo recent large increase in he circulation of THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, the proprietors are happy to announce that, with the opening of the new year, the price of subscription will be reduced to a figure which will at once place thc paper within the reach of every family in thc city and throughout the State. On aud after the first of .January, 1 sob. THE DAILY NEWS will be pub? lished at Six DOLLARS A VEAU, payable, in all cases, in advauce. It will then be, without exception, the cheapest first-class journal in thc Southern States. There is no good reason why our community should not be furnished with a live daily newspaper at a rate approxi? mating that of the sprightly penny press of the Northern cities ; and the very generous support which has been accorded to us on all sides has hastened a step, long contemplated on our part, towards meeting the popular want. It is hard? ly necessary to say that there will bc no dimi? nution in thc amount or interest of the reading matter in any department of thc paper; on the | contrary, it will be our constant effort and our | pride to make it, day by day, more full, reliable and entertaining-the spiritod cornpend of the world's news, the mirror of local life, and the mouthpiece of ai enlightened and liberal pub? lic opinion. At the solicitation of many of our friends in the country, we shall also, during the first week in January, commence the issue of THE CHARLES? TON TRI-WEEKLY NEWS. The subscription price will be THREE DOLLARS A YEAR, or Two DOLLARS FOR SIX MONTHS, payable always in advance. This reduction ?ii our rates will, we know, be all the more welcome to thc public, inas? much as it comes at a time of unprecedented financial distress, when there are few, indeed, among our people who do not. sorely need every dollar that can be saved. We do not permit ourselves to doubt that our enterprise will be rewarded with a steady increase of that popu? lar appreciation and support of which we have hitherto received so liberal a share. THE DAILY NEWS already enjoys a circulation largely exceeding that of any other journal now published in this or the adjoining States ; and its readers may rest assured that, in thc future, no effort will be spared to increase the attractiveness of ils columns, and to extend still further the field of its influence and use? fulness. CHRISTMAS DLNNER.-Few persons allow tho Christmaa 6cason to pass without celebrating tho occasion by an extra dinner, one of the concomi? tants being the time-bonorod plum pudding. For the benefit of thc few benighted housekeepers who do not understand the art of preparing this deli? cacy, wo furnish tho following invaluable recipe, which was obtain ed from tho Queen's Yeoman ol the Mouth, or, in j lain English, her head cook: Old English Plum Pudding.-To make what id termed a pound pudding, take of raisins well stoned, currants thoroughly washed, one pound each; chop a pound of suet very linc and mix with them; add a quarter of a pound of flour or broad finely crumbled, threo ounces of sugar, one ounce and a half of grated lomon peels, a blade of mace, haifa dozen egg8 well beaten ; work it well to? gether, put it into a cloth, tie it firmly-allowing room to swell-and boil not lesa than five hours. It should not bc buffered to stop boiling. GENERAL R. K. SCOTT.-Some time ngo it was stated that General Scott had been mustered out of service, the severance of his connection with thc army to take effect on the 1st of January, 18C8. A dispatch was,-hov ever, received yesterday, wo understand, directing him to continue in his pres? ent position till hu'ther orders ; which, we pre? sume, means as long aa thc Freedmen's Bureau is continued aa au institution of tho land. Wo do not like tho bureau, and hope it will soon go into liquidation. Until then, we have no objection to thc present Assistant Commissioner, and although he has not given satisfaction to all-in the nature of the case this was impossible-we think it much bettor to endure the ills wo have rather than fly to others we know not of. General S., we have every reason to believe, is an honest, well-mean? ing man, desirous ol' doing his duty. He has studiously eschewed politics, aud even incurred the dislike of some of bia Radical brethren in con? sequence. In this connection we may also say that we did not learn whether or not Mr. Pillsbury, who has been recently relieved of his post in tho bureau, has likewise been asked to rc6umo bis office. His recont interview with Mr. Thaddeus Stcvous miy have borne somo such Iruit. BUSINESS ivVI ICES. HT ll.
