Manigault, ot thia State, of Horace Greeley's "American Con? flict," and it appears in the December number of DeBow'8 Review. UNITED STATES COURT-HON. GEORGE S. BRYAN PRESIDING.-The petition of Mathew Pettigrew, for voluntary bankruptcy, was presented by James H Rion, Esq.. and on his motion an order wav signed by thc Judgo, referrable to W. J. Clawson, Register in Bankruptcy for the Fourth Congres? sional District. CENTRAL CHURCH.-Dr. W. C. Dana, the pastor of this church, who has for some timo been suffer? ing with an attack of fever, conducted the service yesterday morning. Dr. Dana was connected with the Central Church before its removal from Arcli dale-street, and his recover}' is a matter cf con? gratulation to his congregation and his numerous friends. EDUCATIONAL.-The educational establishment of Er. Myers, at the corner of Coming and Bul! streets, presents peculiar advantages. Dr. Myers has secured the services of a compstent corps ol instructors, and pupils confided to his care are titted fer either a college or business career. Par? ties applying at the Academy can obtain informa? tion regarding the terms and studies pursued. THE OUTRAGE ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAIL? ROAD.-John Montgomery, the ringleader of the gang of negroes who removed a rail which threw from the track a train on the South Carolina Rail? road in October last, has been tried by military commission, and sentenced to fifteen years' im? prisonment. This sentence has, however, becu mitigated by General Canby to three years' im? prisonment, with hard labor. SUXDAT SCHOOL SERMON.-The Rev. John T. Wightman, pastor of Bethel Church, preached a sermon before the Sunday School children yestei day morning. His discourse was on the Nativity, and be counselled his young hearers to commence the New Year with a firm resolve to walk in the paths of righteousness. The church was well attended, and tbe scholars listened to the advice of their pastor with earnest attention. Tho school numbers one hundred and forty pupils and thirty teachers. ABOUT THE CONTENTION.-After all, it seems, wc are to have a State Convention, and General Canby directs, in an order which we publish this morn? ing, that Charleston be the place, and January 14th the time, for its assembling. Some curiosity is expressed as to what hall will be selected as tho arena for the weighty deliberations of this anoma? lous body; but it is understood that tho use of the building formerly known as the Charleston Club House will be tendered, for a consideration, by its present proprietors. CLERICAL INSTALLATION.-The Rev. Mr. Mack, who was recently elected co-pastor of the Glebe street Presbyterian Church, was installed yester? day morning, the installation sermon being deli? vered by the Rev. W. S. Adams, of Circular Church. The Rev. J. L. Girardeau, formerly r-ole pastor cf this church, felt constrained to devote a portion of his time to his oldco'ored congregation at Zion Presbyterian Church, and, on stating his wishea to tho congregation of the Glebe-street Church, they decided to engage the services of the Rev. Mr. Mack as .. j-pastor. Mr. Mack was formerly connected with a church at Sumter, and was a member of tho Harmony Presbytery. ARREST OF BURGLARS.-On the night of the 26tb, the house of Cyrus Smith, colored, in Nassau street, was entered and robbed of $73 in silver, a silver watoh and clothing. Cyrus was troubled at the loss of his household gear, and unbosomed himself to the detectives. Lieutenant Hendricks gave the points to his officers who soon arrested Henry Dozier, Eliza Dempsey and Laura Ann Mus tipher, all colored, who confessed having broken into the house. The clothing was recovered and the thieves sent to jail. Sarah Green, whose arrest as a house litter was mentioned some days since, proves to bc a pro? fessional character, and several of the victimized have recovered sundry articles by means of her confessions. IMPROVEMENTS ON 1HE CITADEL GREEN.- The Boylston house is gradually assuming an appear? ance that will accord with tlio other buildings on the green. Tho workmen are now engaged in giving it the same colo r as the Barrett house on the opposite corner, and as the two buildings aro somewhat similar the fine appearance of the Cita? del and grounds will be preserved. A largo space near the first building will be enclosed by a fence, and the laundresses will be provided with ample space for their duties. When the various improve? ments now in progress are completed, the Citadel will present a far more sightly appearance than it has at any previous time. The appropriation mada for this puTDOse has been well expended, and the military authorities have rendered their barracks superior to any in the Southern States. THE SPARRING MATCH.-The advertised pugilis? tic encounter between Darby Kelly aud Wm T. White of Boston, took place Saturday eveaing. A number of the fancy were present, ari there were ?parring matches between several o? the mas: era of the noble art of self-defence. A ring had been made in the centre of thc hall, and the flour, which was previously waxed, was rosined to pre? vent any of the champions from slipping. Tho spectators were provided with sea:s which afford? ed them a good view of the sport. The entertain? ment was vaned by singing from some amateurs who were present, and the evening passed pleas? antly to ali concerned. Pugilistic sports aro rare in this comm-.iuity, and that on Saturday night did not "draw" sufficiently to warrant a repetition. THE BAZAAR, which has been for the past two weeks the centre of attraction, was closed Satur? day night. The holders of the lucky numbers re? ceived their vrizes, while those w'io drew blanks wero comfor.od by the reflection that their moncy was given '' i a good cause. The ladies who have conducted this Fan- have labe diligently to make this an attractive exhibition, and their efforts have been crowned with success sarly $17U0 hav? ing been realized. This is exclusive of any sub? scriptions that have been made to the Hom e by the friends of that institution. Few charities ap? peal moro feelingly to the sympathies of our peo? ple than the Home, and though thc money realiz? ed by the Bazaar will enablo thi ladies parti illy to carry out their benevolent plans, yet much re? mains to be done, and contributions will bi- warm? ly welcomed. Wc understand that a project is on foot to give a series of elegant tableaux at tho Home. Therein scarcely a doubt thit such au exhibition, m such a cause, would be liberally sus? tained. A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR-ALLEGED MURDER ON SHIPBOARD. -Inloimation was lodged with Lieu? tenant Hendericks on Saturday, that led to the ar? rest of the captain and mate of the bark Alexander McNeil, by the United States Marshul, but they .were subsequently released to appear at tbs Uni States Court this morning. The captain and mate were charged with having caused tao deatn of a seaman by brutal treatment while the vessel was in the Delaware River, subsequently throwing th? body overboard, instead of taUing it to the sLoro for burial. The complaint was made by one Me Avoy, a keeper of a sailor's boarding bous-, who said that the men weie aloft reefing the topsai e, and the sailor not coming up briskly, was knocked down and beat until ho died of his injuries. Both the captain and mato deny beating thc man, and say that tho statement of the sailors is not reliable, as they werd all aloft at the time and could not see distinctly what transpired on deck. The case will be hoard before the United States pornmissioner this morning. BOOKS FOR THE MILT JON.-Spencer's Comic Speeches and Humorous Recitations : the Science of Solf-Dcfencc.

THE COASTWISE TRADE.- The New York Herald of Friday, in the courso of some general remarks upou the shipping interests of that place says : Tho Southern trade is senerally dull. Some little is doing with Washington, but the Charles? ton, Savannah aud New Orleans lines are not doing much ; indeed it is suspected that none of them are paying, or if so not much beyond that. Great competition exists in this coasting trade, the steamers sold by the government immediately upon tho closo of" the war having beei." purchased by various companies, and put on tho peveral lines running South in anticipation of a speedy settle? ment ot the political issues which had distracted the country and u consequent great demand for Northern products and manufactures. LT this thoy were disappointed, and now many of theso ..easels lie rotting in dock without employment. Tho West India trade, although somewhat livelier, is not very promising, and nothing like what it has been. At this season oi the year cargoes of sugar are being shipped here, but the importations there are greater from tho United Kingdom than from the States, such articles as thevreq lire being obtained cheaper from there, notwithstanding the g. eater distan .o they have to be brought, in con? sequence of tne reduced cost of their manufacture in ibo first placo; secondly, the greater cheapness of fitting out vessels ; and, thirdly, the lower rate of seamen's wages. A Slight demand exists for \es3ols for Cuba, but it is not equal to last vear. They w. re than chartering at from sixty to sixty live "ce:its, while this voir not more than from fifty lo fifty-five cents is being paid. The failure, re? cently, of a large sugar house in this city has in? duced great caution in purchasing cargoes. Tho trade with Rio Janeiro is also very slack, but little being shipped there. Freights ure about $1 per bam I; but very little offers, scarcely any flour being shipped. The best trade being djue with these ports is in agricultural implements, which are in moderately lively demand at present. Lum ber, kerosine oil, lard, rosin and turpentine are also staple articles of this trade. MANUFACTURES.-The New Orleans Picayune in? dorses the following plan for the construction of small manufacturing establishments in the South, the project being suggested by a Mississippi pa? per. With tho present unsatisfactory condition of the cotton market, and th9 general depression of trade ai d industry, tho Southern people may fiud in this scheue a sensible move to profitable em? ploy, a considerable amount of labor, and as the establishments suggested are on a limited scale, each district might soon have several of them at work. Were tho South to grow but one million bales of cotton, and spin the greater portion into yarn or common goods before it left her borders, devoting her additional labor to raising provisions and manufacturing, it is our belief that her posi? tion would soon bc much changed for the better: The most sensible proposition we have seen for a long time is that of the Lexington (Miss.) Adver? tiser, to start a little factorv with a capital ol $3500. It savs it is folly to wait until $50 OOO or $100,000 ca i be got-it may never bo gath red. It says : "A factory (costing the insignificant amount we have named) can cird all the wool in the county, make Lowells aud domestics to supply three times oui population, and with u gin attachoi could gin all tue gleanings of tho great 6taple at a figure that would immediately supersede horse-power. We have in our community a geuthuiinof recog? nized genius, of au ;w cat .vc turn of mind, well posted in mechanics aud machinery, who, for a mcderatc compensation, could be induced to take charge of tne business of such a iactory and con? duct it to the grandest results possible to be at? tained " When our Hazelhurst friends a year or'wo ago wcro I ry ?Lg to start a factory and stopped short because the Euin of $10O,C00 could not ba raised, wo told them to have a dog power factory if they could get no other. Iudecd every 5000 ucres ot cultiva? ted hnd should have its own gin and cotton fac? tory combined, and it would bo all tho better if tho farine.o daughters shoul 1 do th? weaving at homo on tho improved looms of Ibo day. Small Dlanta ticas and small factories must go together. THE BUSSING OF COLUHBIA.-A correspond? ent of tho Louisvillo Courier furnishes, in the following extract, soino official evidence of the spirit which animated tho authorities at Washington, as well as tho commander of tho army, ut tho time of General Sherman's campaign through Georgia and the Carolinas : 1 have lately been reading Sherman's report to tho "Joint Committee cn thc conduct of tho war," and am struck with tho total absence of all dis? patches in regard to Columbia, S. C. Up to the 13th of February, 18G5, his daily orders, &c, to his subordinates are given verbatim, but when ho gets to that date all are left out with the except! n of two seimtng'.y unimportant ones, until he reaches Wmnsboro, on the 21st of February. No meulion - not a fine-not a word hardly-is "made ol Colum? bia's being burnt. No mention of tho place for a day or two before he takes it-nothing atterward. Strange! But may bo it was best leit out. His last order of any importance, before taking Colum? bia, is, "in t.io field, tweuty-oue miles .from Columbia, February 13th, 1865' -thon comes, thc two seemingly unimportant ones of tho 16th, one of which I will copy directly, and theo a clean jump made to thc 21st at Winnsboro', S. C., beyond Columbia. Ou page 2S7 of this work (' Conduct of the War-Supplement-Part I"), will bo found theso words, concluding n dispatch from Hahcck to Sherman, and dated at Washing? ton, Dec mbor 18, 18G4, and addressed to lM ijor General W. T. Sherman." written when Sherman's plans were decided ; "Should you capture Charles? ton, I hope that by some (his italics) ?ccident the place may bo destroyed ; and ii a little salt be sown upou its sue it may prevent thu growth of future crops of nullification and secession*" Now hear Sherman's reply (copied from pago 291), dated "in th ) fi'.-ld, Savauuah, December 24, 1864," which, takou in conjunction with this unimportant order of tho 18th of February, 1865. trill explain who burnt Columbia, and who "allowed it, it he did not order it. Li?ten all ye who "hanker arter crow :" "I will bear in mind your hint as to Charleston, and don't think salt will bo necessary. When I move, the Fife n h Corp. ,thC3C and the following italics arc mine) will be on tho right of the rieht wing, and their position will briug them naturally into Charleston first ; aul if you have watched the history ol that corps, you w"ill have remarked that they generally do their" work up pretty well. Tho truth is, tho whole army is burning with an insati? able desire to wreak vengeance upon South Cal ? lina. I almost tremble at her fate, but feel bbc deserves all that seems in store for her. 1 Lok upot. Columbia as quuo as bad as Charleston.'' Now for the little dispatch of tho 16th of Febru? ary, the night before Columbia was plundered, pillaged and burned. It ia addressed to General Howard (the Christian soldier (V) to whom an insulted Georgia woman of his own name said, upon hi; claiming relationship with ht r : "No kin ! I thank God 'the blood of all the Howards' is uot in my veins") : ' Lear General: 1 see thc- bridge over Broad burnii.g. It is very important that you effect a crosfi; g to night. If necessary, get over thc Salu a the bulk of the (look cut 'crow caters") Fifteenth Corps, then take up enough pontoons to finish one aero- s tho Broad." The Fifteenth Corps wa < the first to enter the city, .iud went by Sherman's order and burned the city, either ey his order or his want of ordor. ?usufj?m iroiivjss. n. it. it you want cheat, iilrni: Booka; Ii y ou want cheap Stationery, Envelope J, Pa? per, Ac; cr, MILLERS' Almanac; ll you want Printing executed neatly; Il.? ou want Books bound in any style, or Account Books made to order, with any desirer] pattern ol ruling, go lo HIRAM HARRIS XO. 50 Broad street.
