DICKENS' NEW STORY-OCR CHRISTMAS EXTRA. With today's issue ol' tho NEWS, our readers will receive a handsome extra, containing thc great Christmas story written expressly fur tho present auuiversary ot* the groat festival, by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Colima. To givo ove? rt the productions of these great novelists, com? plete aud covering forty columns, in a single issue, is a feat altogether unprecedented in tbe annals cf Southern journalism, and of which wc ieol we m:y be justly proud. The pleasure with which we present this, our Christmas offeri?g to our readers, will be only cciuallcd by the gratification which, we are sure, the peru? sal of thia splendid story will afford them.

OUR POET'S CORNER to-day is fittingly occupied by Hilton's sublime "Hymn of the Nativity"-cer? tainly the noblest Christmas poem ever written. Our readers will do well to renew their acquaint? ance with these grand old stanzas. THE NEWS AT EIGHTEEN CENTS PER WEKK.-Mr. J. Silverstein, agent for the city delivery announ? ces that tho DAILY NEWS will be issued by six o'clock every morning to subscribers in any por? tion of *ho city at eighteen cents a week, payable weekly. Orders left at the periodical stores of Mr. C. C. Righter, Nos. ICI and 338 King-street, or at the office of tho DAILY NEWS, No. 18 Hayue-stree:, will receive prompt attention. THE Postoffice will be open this day only from 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock P. M., and all mails will close at the latter hour. WE ARK requested to state that the cars ou the Street Railway will run their regular trips up to the hour of 2 o'clock P. M. to-day. PERSONAL.-Samuel Dibble, Esq., Editor and proprietor of the Orangeburg Nows, is on a visit to thia city, and staying at the Pavilion Hotol. A GRAND TOURNAMENT is to come off in Colum? bia to-day, on the University Green, about forty knights having entered the lists. The festivities will wind up with a ball at the Central Houao. ACCIDENT.-A colored boy named Miller, who was employed on the Manhattan, was soverely bruised yesterday by a bale of cotton falling on bim. He was sent to the City Hospital where his injuries received proper attention. PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA.-A dis? patch recoived by Mr. Burns, tho keeper of the Hibernian Hall, announced tho sickness of ono of the meu:>era of the company, and the consequent delay of the Panorama. It will not bo exhibited unt.l af t* r Christmas. FEBK.-A false alarm of fire early yesterday eve? ning, called out the engines and served to increase the confusion in the streets, until the order "about face" was given, when the machines wcro dragged homeward. A similar alarm sent the engines and our repor? ter on a bootless chase about one o'clock this morning. CouNTEBFEiTiNO. -The Augusta papers announce the arrest of a man named Samuel Overstreet, hailing from South Carolina, who had attempted to pass a counterfeit. It appeared that he had pasted the figuro "20," cut from a Confederate note, over tho "1" of a one dollar greenback. Confederate money is not marketable, and the en? terprising financier lost bis opportunity of making a fortuno, but obtained bosrd for the Christmas holidaya where he can think over the subject. CHRISTMAS SERVICES.-lu the different Episcopa? lian and Lutheran churches the morning services ? will be the same as on Sunday, with somo few ex- [ captions. At the Cathedral Chapel there will be a low mass at 5 A. M., and Pontifical high mass at 10; A. M., when a sermon will be preached by Bishop Lynch. At St. Mary's Church thero will bo high mass at 10J, and Mozart's Twelfth Msss will be sung by tho choir, who will be assisted on this occasion by most of tho leading vocalists in the city. At St. Paul's Church, Society-street, the services will bo as on Sunday, and at St. Patrick's besides tho re? gular services there will bo a low mass at 4 A. M. THE GERMAN SUNDAY SCHOOL will celebrate their Christmas festival to-morrow night in tho Hali of the Bruderliebe Bund, at half-past G P. M. Com? mittee-M. J. H. Ostehdorff, John H. Ostendorff, Fred. Muller. We have a lively recollection of marry a happy Christmas evening, spent in company cf the predecessors of these SRme German Sunday School children in tho Military Hall in Wentworth street, in the good old days before the Freeuman's Bureau. There used to be fine music, a splendid Weihnachtsbaum, smiling faces and happy hearts; all these we shall once more expect to see to-mor? row night, notwithstanding the hard times wo hear no much about. ARREST OF THIEVES.-Sarah Green, a noted house thief, was arrested a few days since while endeavoring to enter tho houso of Dr. Bellinger, on Went worth-street. Several articles of clothing had been missed at different times, aud it was sup? posed they had been taken by Sarah. After her arrest she confessed to Lieutenant Hendiicka that she was tho thief, and stated where tho missing goods could be obtained. The gosnttiug establishment of Mr. Paddon, on King-street, has been entered on several occasions and robbed of lead, coppor and brass work. On complaining to the Detectives, ho was advised to put a watchman on the store, who caught Tom Harrison, a- colored boy, aged fifteen, in tho act of entering by a back door. He confessed thc previous thefts, and a large portion of the plunder has been restored. CHRISTMAS NOISES.-It would be contrary to a long established custom for the Christmas season to pass Without some extra demonstration, and the rising generation followed in tho footsteps of their elders, and ushered in the day with the popping of crackers and other musical noises. Last night these amusements were jxtensively practiced, and the ear was regaled with the pleas? ing sound produced by tho tin trumpets, while craokers were popped fa8t and furiously in every direction, in total violation of all ordinances in such cases made and provided. The trumpets are an abomination, as the noise produced is most villanous, having no merit that could make them attractive to any but the owners, who blew them most lustily. An infantry charge was made last night in tho neighborhood of this office, and the vile sound of the trumpets, ming'.od with the dis? charge of fire crackers, caused all idoas to van.sb but anathemas against tho disturbers of the public peace. FOREIGN TRADE.-The export trado of oui' tier to foreign ports is assuming a largor and more permanent basis, and as our communications with tho interior increase, we have no doubt that the intercourse with tho most prominent Europeau trading points will largely expand, and bc a source of pride and profit to our seaport. It afforded us much gratification to notice the clearance at our Customhouse yesterday of several large and valu? able oargoes of cotton for foreign consumption. Messrs. Street Bros. & Co. cleared the ship R. H. Tuckor with 217 bags sea isiand and 3175 bales ol upland cotton ; Messrs. R. Mure A Co. the British bark Liverpool, with 55 bags 6ta island, 1831 bales of upland cotton, SOO barrels Rosin, and 1274 sacks cotton seed ; Messrs. George A. Hoplcy & Ca. tho Bremen bark Gaus?, f jr Bremen, with 1S11 bales of upland cotton. Mr. W. P. Hall also cleared, the day previous, thc Spanish ba. k Sunrise and tue Spanish brig Galileo, having jointly some 2.00 bales of upland cotton on board for the Barceloaa market. FREE EOO-NOGQ will be served this forenoon, to bis friends and customers, by Fehienbach, the popular restaurateur of Broad-street. Enough ?aid ? hvlctmus Eve, Yesterday dawned bright, clear and beautiful, with just enough of winter to make it pleasant. At an early hon. tho streets wiro filled with peo? ple, till anxious to procure some luxury for thoir ?ovid one?. All wtro gay, smiling and happy, from tho benign grandsiio to tho little prattler by his sillo, and all apparently intent upon tho santo errand. Tho usual quiut ol' tho city was gono, sud troni tko popping of crackers and uncouth sound ot tin horus, hoard in ovary direction, it waa evident that tho Lord of Misrule had com? menced his reign and the holidays ?ero fairly opened. Greenbacks wore brougbt from Some hidden recess, and tho secret board was spent iu procuring some long coveted Christmas gift, i: was evident that thc vast host of buyers who thronged thc stores during the day wore convinced that '"it was tar more blessed to give than to re? ceive, " and their purchases warn made with a lib? eral band ind without a though' of self. All caica were forgotten, and the only business that en? gaged tho attention was to niaks a select ion from ;:uj numerous articles that were presented in lavish profusion. ON 1UXG-SWEET. This, tho great emporium o? fashion, aud tho headquarter* of Santa Claus, was the centre of at? traction, and was thronged wi lb a happy crowd of all ages, cl isses, colors and coudilions, oag. r to exchange their currency for Christmas gilts. The to\ stores were soon transformed into miniature L'abcls, where it was a vain effort to keep quiet, and almost in i08siblc to bc heard. Everybody wisiied to purchase ami was not willing to bide ins time. Tbc numerous clerks were kopt busily employed, but it was a labor of love into whioh all eutercd with a zest that made shopping for on?c, a pleasure to both parlies. You Sauten. Kins? man's, Marion's, and the other toy and confection? ery stores along tno btreet were prepared for tho occasion, aud presented to their bewildered cus? tomers an array of plain, fancy and U3elul articles that far exceeded any similar display that has been made for years. Toys, however, were not the only attraction, the older and thc wiser hoads remem? bered the Christmas dinner, and d.votod somo of their time to the purchase of the necessary groceries, vhile others were busily employed in procuring an outfit for the New Year at the differ? ent clothing and dry goods stores. From the Lines to thc flattery the streets prosented a busy ap? pearance, totally different from tho usual dulnoss, but entirely consistent with the joyous Christ? mas season. ON THE STBEET CABS. Those were immensely popular, and wore crowded with parties whose purchases bod been complet, d, or with those who were on their way to tho busy mart of Santa Claus. The platforms were oc;upied by packages of every description, which were watched with a tender solicitude by th J little passengers. Each trip was a success, as fractional curreucy was at a dis? count, and ten cents too trifling a cum to be saved. DI THE SUBSETS. The Markets were supplied w.th more than their usual faro, but ali in abundance. Game was plentiful and the prices reasonable. Thc first market, whore tho foatherod tribe are kept, was the most popular, and the loud remon? strances of tho geese, turkeys, ducks and fowls, showed plainly that they did not appreciate tho summary fato that was in store for thom. No Christmas dinner is perfect without a tur? key, and the gobblers were gobbled up by anxious customers who fea ed they might lose this delicacy. Geese and ducks carno next on tho list, Whilo the fowls were reserved for ordinary oc? casions. Meats of different kindB were displayed ia tempting profusion, beef, mutton and pork pre iominating, hut tho moro eavory venison was found at many attractive stalls. Farther on tho vegetable market attracted attention, and the old raaumas m their Christmas turbans anxiously solicited tho passers to purchase. Their stalls 'vero rilled with ever} thing that was in or out of season that coul l be procured l'or a Christmas diu ncr, and their appeals were not unheeded. Tho fruiterers had each converted thoir stands into jreen booths whero apples, oionges and bananas, were suspended from boughs or pine or Christmas bush, wh: '1 shadowed thoir stock. Still further i on the shrill cry of "eyoster," donotes that the fish market had its claims on tho Christmas purse, while tho numerous tables spread for tho treediu m sent up savory oaors that were by no moaus dis agieeable. Throughout the entire length of the market tho moving throng had apparaatly but one object-Christmas was com.ng, a good dinner was a necessity, and it must bo obtained. THE HCCESTEBS. Those formed au important part of the body corporate on this occasion, and certainly succeeded in making themselves Hoard. In every portion of the city their shrill voices, calling their stock in trade, rose lou.i above tho din of drays and othor c.ty noises. Thoa : itinerant vendors were mustly strangers, and had visited the city for tho purpose of raising money by the salo- of their produce, which consisted principally Oi wood, potatoes, and game. Thoir prices were far below* those asked in the markets, and they soou effected an exchange, which filled their pockets aud sent them on their way rejoicing. ' CTHEB SIGHTS. In the suburbs a number of persons wero en? gaged in culling and preparing Christmas trees, aud the green boughs that were boruo through the streei8 wero signs that thc cood old custom wus still in force, aud tho treo3 would soon be in a pos t.on to produco christmas fruits. At the dif? ferent churches tiio younger members of the con? gregations were preparing tho Christmas decora? tion, and their nimble angers wero employed in twining tho evergreens into tho proper shapes. Wreaths, garlands and festoons wore soon formed, and letters of living green .nforuied the worship? pers that unto them "a Saviour was born who would take away ibo 6?ns of thc world." From early morn to dewy eve tho streets ard stores preseutcd tho same animatod appearance, and it was not until a late hour that tho purchases were concluded, the preparations made, and tho busy throng retired to dream of the coming Christmas. WITH THE POOB. At this season tho widow and the orphan, the poor and the distressed, suffer the most and uppeal most earnestly to our charity and compassions. No man will enjoy Christmas lue leso for the knowledge that he has helped to mako thc day happy for some destitute woman or orphm child, and at this season a emili sacrifice will onablo our people to ncc unplisb a vast amount of good. Tho Ladies' Homo, the Fuel Society, thc Garment So? ciety, tho Orphan Houses, tho Hosp?nls, aro ul calling for donations, and it will bo remembered that every addition to their funds, increases their power in relieving thoso whom they Lave taken in thoir kindly charge These sooietie9, theso representatives of tho poor, whom Christ loved, must not ask in vain, and in their name we ask tor all that each citizen can spare, all-however lit? tle-that eaoh can afford to give.

Til NUTS_Ibis excellent nut, the consumption of which, both for ita oil and as an article of food, might be very much extended, can bo raised iii tho greatest abundance and perfection In this re? gion; and in tho country around this city we think it might be made a very profitable.crop, and assist in diversifying the products of the soil i.i this neighborhood. The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal speaks as follows of it : The Pet Nut Crop.-Tho trade in this product has been very brisk of late, and, in fact, forn.s no unimportant portion of tho business ot the city at present. Within a week past we have noticed on several mornings that the greater number of carts in market were loaded with pea nuts. Tho crop this ye*r ii not so largo as was at fir?t anticipated, but iaa exceeded that of last year by se\ eral thousand bushels. Last year tho crop .vas estimated at thirty-fivo thousaud bushels, aud even this is considered an over-estimate. This \ear it is calculated that the crop ?viii reach be? tween forty and forty-five t lousand bushels at least, lu spoaking of tho cron. we of course al? lude to the crop raised ' in this section, which finds a markot in our city. Tue prices ob? tained for this product are not, ?o good now by teu or tiitecn cent j as was theoaso the same time last year. Of course the yield would have been much moro abundant, bul for the destructive rains expe? rienced during tho summer; yet we tn-nk we ure not far wrong in paying that the p^u nut;- sus? tained les? injury from this cause; thau unv other pioduct. I Th? Now Gctuiuu Lutheran Chnrclit Our readers will find in another column of thi3 morning's NEWS a i.otico from Rov. L. Muller, giving tho ordor of thc procession, to he observed in tho ceremony of tho laying of the corner-stone ol' tho New Gel man Lutheran Church. Tho occa Bion is ono of no ordinary solemnity, aud fittingly was fixed during the joyous period of the annual Christian holiday. We congratulate our German fellow-citizeos on tnis auspicious event, aud sin? cerely v. ish them every success in this iuo.it laud? able endeavor. RETROSPECT. There arc epochs in tho lives of individual?, communities and Dations, breaking tho calm flow of ovcry day existence, and becoming landmarks of history. In tho individual wo have birth, mar? riage and death-so a nation takes its risc, roaches the culminating point, and thou outers upon de? cadence. A community, in importance ranging between these two, ia subject to thc same fluctua? tions. Although thc occisi?n would seem to sug? gest a history of tho Germans of Charleston, it is not our purpose to enter upon so broad a field to? day; wo design only a low glances at the subject. Their beginning in this city dates back to a period anterior lo t c Revolution. Tho German Friendly Society was formed in 17GC, small as a grain of mustard seed then, but now a large and flourish? ing tree, giving shelter and support to many who call it blessed. Tho Go'mans, simple in their habits and unprotouding, then worshipped in au humble wooden structure, near the present l ugo and handsome church in Arehdulo-street, which was built in due time, and for over half a century has been faithfully presided over by thc Rev. Dr. Bachman. TUE FIRST OERMAN CHURCH AND SCrtOOL IN CHARLESTON. The Friend?? Society, then tho embodiment of thc Genna ? feeling of the sons of tho F; therland in this city, had their school and provided for tho training ol toe young in the language and customs of their ancestors. Tho transactions of the So? ciety were all in ibo German language, but not? withstanding all these honest and paiustauing efforts of uood old Michael Kalteisen, Eckhard, Frisch, Tidyman, Strobol, Stoinmoyer, and others, in process of timo, tho Gorman language foll into desuetude; and while the church retained tho Lutheran faith and ritual, and the Friendly So? ciety preserved intact its ancient German charac? ter for benevolence and liberality, thc English languago altogether usurped tho place of the mother tongue. ST. MATTHEW'S BUILT. For a while tho newly arrivod German immi? grants worshipped at Dr. Bachman's church, and sont their children to tho Friendly Socictv's school; but aa tho principal bond of unity, identity of lan guacrc, was lacking, thoso of German birth in 1841 founded a congregation of their own, St. Matthew's, and in (ho year iollowing, built tho church at the cornor of Hasel and Ausou streets, in which thoy have worshipped ever sicco. Rev. H. F. W. Hecmsoth, their first pastor, served tho church till the Spring ot 1818, when ho returned to Germany, and he is now pastor in Misselwarden, Amt Dorem, Hanover. Pastor Hcemsoth was succeeded by Rev. L. Muller, wl o has served the congregation accept? ably during nearly twenty years. Mr. M. is a na? tivo of Rhonish Bavaria, passed through tho gymnasium of Deux Pouts, and completed bis jlud?63 in philosopha and theology in tho Univer? sity of Utrecht. Immediately upon his gradua? tion he cume to tho United States, was ordained in New York in 1812, and served congregations in N'ow York and Brooklyn till tho Spring of 1848, wheu he was called to this city. THE VESTRY af thc church is composed of tho following mom bers : Eh'ers-A. Bischoff, George Cordes, F. Weh mann. Warrtcns-F. Strec'cf.-.sa, J. C. W?hlers, J. Hermann, F. li. P.ogor, W. Uffcrhardt, W. Mar bcher. Trustees-C. Sablmann, F. E. Schroder, E. F. Lebmkuhe, J. H. Kalb, J. C. Ojotfii-.;, J. C. Otjeu. WEAT THE CHURCH REGISTER REVEALS. During tito twenty- ix years of its history 11119 children Lavo b<eu baptized into this church. Ibero havo baen 31? confirmations, comprising nearly an equal number of boys and girls; 927 mar? riages and 2159 funerals. In explanation of these large figures, it is proper to remark that whilo the congregation, in tho moro nar ow sonse of mem? bership, only compnso3 a few uuudred of thc German population of thc city, it mu3t bo borne in mind that more than nine-tenths of all the Ger? mans in Charleston aro Lutherans by o uoation, and when an occasion in lile prc-sents which rc qures tho offices of thc churrh, they naturally go to tho minister of that church, who min?strales, not only according to tho usago of their fathers, but also in their nativo tongue Although tho deaths outnumber the births, it must not be thought that there has not been a steady inert ase in this class of our population. As a rule they enjoy excellent health in our climate, but tho occasional epidemics, occurring at long intervals, have made sad inroads into their num? ber, thc victims being principally from the ranks of the latest arrived immigrants. CEMETERIES. The first cemetery of thc congregation was open? ed about 1814, on thc corner of Amherst and Hano? ver streets, and wau used till 1807, when " Betha? ny," tho ground adjoining tho Magnolia Cemetery, wai purchased, Which bau boen highly improved, and in appearance, as iu sitoatisu, is a fitting "God's Acre." SCHOOLS. Tho Sunday school, in connection with tho St. Matthew's Church, numbers over 300 children in romilar attendance, and from 23 to 3u teachers. Tho Germnus aro, as wo know, much attached to thek mother tongue, and .as tuey prefer to hoar God's Word in their nativo acccuts, so as a rule, they dosire to have tho language taught their cnildren. ibero is a dr.y schjc-i aiso, therefore, in connection v.ith tho church, and its Principal is Mr. A. J. Hoffman, at once thc organist of tho church, and tue Superintendent of tho Sunday school. Tho services of Mr. H. are much prized by his compatriots in this city, and deservedly so, for during tho three years of his residence in Charleston ho has accomplished much. Begin? ning in the Summer of 18OJ with throe childi en, ho has now a flourishing school of over 200, where instruction is imparted in all tho elementary brandies of knowledge, both in English and in German. Ho also has a night Behool for adults. Mr. H. is a native of Rhonish Bavaria, passed through thc Gymnasium ta Spires, and tho Uni? versity in Munich, where ho chose music aa a specialty. Siuco his arrival in tuc United StatCB, abou: fiitecn years ago, be has been constantly en? gaged in the instruction of youth ; and if we may venture an opinion in toe premise*, wo should say that by nature and education ho is admirably adapted for the responsible duties of his office. THE NEW CHURCH-DIMENSIONS. Tho eito of tho new church edifico about to be erected by this congregation is on thc west side of King-Street, south of "Vanderhorst, late the re? sidence of Father O'Neill. Tho building will measure 1?5 feet in length and 66 in breadth. Tho nave will be 92 by 54 feet, and tho chancel 24 by ll. Tho vestry room, 12 by 13, is to bo ou the northwest corner of tho building. Height of the arch in navo 54. Thero will bo three ent^anco doors iu front, and two on thc sides. Tho galle? ries will be on tho north, east and south ti Joe. Tho steeple will bo 232V feet in height, higher, by over 20 feet, than nny oilier in tho city. 8TYL-E Of ARCHITECTURE. Tho church is to bc built in tho pure Gorman style of ecclesiastical architecture, in many re? spects not ualiL'o thc stately Cathodr.il in Broad? sheet, wbioii was laid in ruins by thc Great Tire. Tho priucipal door ot entran00 is placed in tho ccnire of tho tower, which occupies thc middle ol* thc front elevation. The organ is to bo placed in the tower. Tho order of arel itectuio is marked by tho pointed mullioned gothic windows. Of these there will ! o two rotse; bingle windows un? der thc galleries, and doue-le above. Tho walls aie supported by buttresses, terminating in lu? nacies, connected by a baltlemeu cd parapot. Tho windows will bc of stained glass-- tue front window in tho tower twenty-eight feet hiub. Above tho main centro a richly ornamented "ro? sette" or "bull's e-vc" for clock."and a large gothic window r-.bove for thc belfry. ibo roof of thc tower, from which rises ibo sprrc in nu octave, is in the form of a cross. Thc chancel is pentagon. Capacity of church from twelve hundred io fif? teen hundred scats. Standing room for throe thousand. Tho church will bc built of brick, lc quiring one million two hundred and fiftv thou? sand ior its walls. The cost is estimated ft about sixty thousand dollars. i he a|)i earanco ot tho inside will resemble that of ?be Citadel Square Baptist Church. Tho Ceiling will be in tresco; the galleries ha* c banisters of wool claboritely carved in Lee work -ali corresponding with rho character of tho .irchi lectujc. The :;^lierici will bc supported by clus? ters o: iron columns- -the pews lu oak. The church will be a grear ornament to our city, being beautiful io its Byunut-try, and nn imposing and welt-finished structure. Wc hope that iu timo the unsightly buildings now obstructing the view lroiu tho utadol Green will be removed, and tuat tho square will be surrounded by lare'e und huiul- ' seme buildings. The ground plan is similar to that of a ehnrch edifico in L iner.bu ig, Pommerania. This resem? blance, however, i> accidental, tho plan for tho new Luihorau Church being entirely original. Di conclusion, it ouly remains to bo said that Mr. J. H. Dotereux hus projected tho plan, and is the architect and builder of tho new church. To the Reader? of tho Dully \ews-Uar New Term*-The cash System? Tho announcement that on and after thc first of January the subscription price of THE DAILY NEWS will be reduced to Six Dollars a year has been received with many substantial marks of appreciation by the public, both in tho city and State. But in order to publish a first-class paper ut that low price, wc shall be compelled, in future, to adhere rigorously to the cash sys? tem, and require, invariably, the payment of subscriptions in advance. It should bo gener? ally understood that everything required for thc publication of a newspaper-compositiou, paper, press-work, labor, and expenses of every description-must unavoidably bc paid for in CASH at the end of every week. If the credit system is tolerated, and subscribers neglect to pay promptly, the losses thus in? curred by publishers in a little while become intolerably onerous and oppressive. There ari hundreds, however, in our city who, though anxious to take a live newspaper, and willing to pay for it, can ill afford, at this time, even the small outlay of six dollars. To accommodate this class of readers, wc have made arrangements by which, on and after New Year's Day, THE DAILY NEWS will bo delivered, every morning, before seven o'clock, in all parts of the city, by attentive and experienced newsmen, at EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK, payable weekly. The advantages of this plan are evident at a glance. Those who take their papers upon thc weekly system only pay out their money, week by week, as their papers are received ; they run no risk ; they can stop their paper nt any time by giving one week's notice ; when they leave the city ior a few weeks they can suspend their papors, and be at no expense. The yearly cost at the weekly rate is more than when the subscription at our advertised rates is paid in advance at our office ; but there is tvery reason to believe that the new plan will, by its sim? plicity, security, and the smallness of tho cash expense, enable many persons to take a daily paper who could not beoome subscribers for as long a period as six, or even three months. It is our desire to accommodate all classes of I readers, and those who arc not able to pay their subscriptions in advance can take advan? tage of the weekly arrangement, which will go into operation on January 1, next. BOOKS FOB THE ?ITT.T,?W.-jfr. s. G. Courtonay, No. 9 Broad-street, knowiug, froni over twenty years experience as a bibliopole, tbs t thc people of Charleston appreciate good books, and when they havo money will buy them, has beon kind enough to adapt himself to our present financial condition.
