HOGMANAY.-The St. Andrew's Society of
this city celebrated this anniversary at the
Son Ji Carolina Hall last night. The old year
was decently interred, and the birth of the new
welcomed with flowing libations.
THE SOUP HOUSES.-It was expected that
these honres would have- been opened on the
1st, but the Bureau offioers are still awaiting
orders from General Howard, vhich will give

meats. Until this is done, no action can be^
token.

morrow, to distribute prizes, fill up raffles, and

ports received it appears that the Detective
Offioe, under the charge of Lieutenant Hen?

from a cotton bak to an old coat, and mc lumea
jewelry of every description.

the streets to the African Methodist Church on
Calhoun-street, where an oration will be de?
livered by the Kev. F. L. Cardozo. The parade
of last year attracted large numbers of specta?
tors, who thronged tho sidewalls along thb
route, ii the weather should be propitious,
the s ame societies will in ah probability lorin
part ot the procession to-day, and the same
route be selected.

MiEACoxoui ESCAPE-A CABBIAGE CABBTED
JET AHO CDT t TWO BS AN ENOINE, AND NO
MM HOBT.-Oe of the most wonderful es?
capes from acclental death ever recorded was
made yesterda at the passsenger depot of tho
south Carolin Railroad. Mr. W. Eelsey
steadman wit!, his sister, Mrs. McDowell and
uer child, dr-re to the depot in a carriage
from Mr. Rodn's stables, to leave the city by
the early train. When the carriage had enter?
ed tho yard ari drawn up at the platform, Mr,
Steadman got o- and the driver, E. colored
man, left the l?x and began to take down the
baggage, tho Idy and child remaining in the
carnage. At fats moment the engir.e of the
Hambarg train then approaching, was heard
and the horse, having no ono to control
them, became tanned and dashed off at full
speed.
Running fror the yard, the horses, with thc
carnage, smut round the corner, and ran
with fearful fore iato the engine of the Ham?
burg train, whlu was then crossing into thc
lower yard. Th engine struck the carriage
near the fron ; ties, and the terrible jar caus?
ed the horses tcbreak loose. But the carriage
was entangled pon tho cow-catcher of tho en?
gine, and wan crried about two hundred yards
down th9 trac, Mrs. McDowell, the while,
claspmg her ohd to her breast. Fortunately
the carriage soa broke np, one half, in which
were the lady ad child, falling on one side oi
the track and Molly olear of the train. Help
was instantly athand, and it was found that
neither motlier or child was in any way hurt,
Mr. Steadtaanwas in dose purjuit of the
carriage and erred at the spot a moment after
the denoaerr< nt :curred.
The horse a onbreakin^ away from the oar
riage ran r.pLe-street until they reached
Blake-street, wrn they tamed to the left and
ran into the m&h, where th&y were bogged
up to theil' nets, and remained for several
h JUTS. Thtyhibeen out during the night
aud were believe to be tired down.
Notwithstondij the terrible shock to her
nervous systemics. McDowell and ber child
went on the reg%? train to AugUB?a, but lt is
certain thai as hg as she lives she will never
forget her'Tidejr Ufe," nor cease to wonder
at her prov .deufci escape from instantaneoue
death. ? i .
SN'OW.-The wide-awake portion of this com?
munity discovered a slight fal] of snow in this
city yesterday morning, between ? and 5 A. M.,
but was speedily absorbed by tho moisture on
the ground, and those who rose at daylight
were not aware of the wintry visitation. Wo
l?arn that in the interior Districts snow fell to
the depth of several inches. At Cheraw it was
six inches deep, and at Florence about four
inches. lu order to convince unbelievers, a
bucketfull of the article was brought down and
exhibited. Snow has been predicted for some
time, but the Charleston community havo not
thus far been favored with a daylight snow
6 tor m.
Om MONEY.-At the last meeting of Coun
oil, a warm discussion arose on the prac tica
bility of discontinuing tbe issue of city money
and substituting a greenback circulation.
Though no definite action was taken, it is high?
ly probable that tho city will BOOU return to
payments in United States ourrency. During
thia month the receipts from various sources
will bo quite large, as many of tho tax-payers
will give in their duos, and the different licen?
ses that will be granted will return a handsome
sam to the Treasury. There is at tho present
time but $33,000 of the oity mouey in circula?
tion, and it is confidently expected that this
amount will bo speedily withdrawn. Tho muni?
cipal officials are using evory effort to reduce
the issue of city scrip.
' INCENDIARY ACTS ut DABLTNOTON.-It bs with
. sincero regret that we notice thc disturbed
state of affairs in some sections of the State,
and if the stealing and burning which is now
taking place is to be continued it will be at the
ex enso of tho most vital interests of society.
These midnight outrages must be checked and
the perpetrators of them brought to justice. A
etter was shown us yesterday, by a merchant
of our city, from one of the most prominent
ciiizen8 of Darlington District, which stated
that about 10 P. M. on the 27th December, his
fa Jilly, which had retired for the night, were
startled by the firing of guns, and, on looking
ont, the torch of the incendiary had been suc?
cessfully applied to his gin-house, and to a
large crib full of fodder, hay and shucks in the
immediate vicinity of tho farm, stables, wagon
and carriage houses. The other buildings were
waved by the wind being favorable. The fire
destroyed the gin-house, scre>v and 1200 bush?
els cotton seed. They also went into the field
and burned five stacks of fodder. A noi jhbor,
on the samo night, had bis gin-house and fod?
der stacks fired.
Ora RAILROADS.-It affords us satisfaction to
notice that oar Railroads immediately connect?
ing this city with the interior, aro pursuing, as
far as the unsettled state of affairs will permit,
a policy which will gradually give us the bene?
fit of a large portion of tho trade of the interior.
We commend their wisdom, for whtlo they may
temporarily sustain a loss in receipts they must
ultimately benefit largely by thc great increase
of prosperity which it will bring to thiB place,
and by tho larger area of country it wdl enable
them to secure trade from. The South Caro?
lina Railroad Company, in particular, has,
toronga its present energetic head, been en?
deavoring to have established through freight
rates, which must ultimately lead to a large in?
crease of our prosperity. This tariff opens tho
field of on ter pi IBO to Memphis, Nashville aud
Montgomery, as well as all the important
points which are nearer and as soon as th?i
Augusta aud Macou Railroad is complot, d,
Which may be looked for at an carly day, we will
bel placed on equal terms *ith Savannah at
Marcon, which ie the centie of the great cotton
^.Hctfcon of Georgia, at which point railroads
?og;fa in from Columbus and beyond,
?jjfc^tthe rich soction of southwestern
?MBBHasfe tapping of this important pom
should add 100,000 bales of ootton tu the re?
ceipts here. In many ways these improved
freight rates are already bringing produce, and
much of the oom which now reaches this city
is purchased at Atlanta, and is placed in our
market at lower figures than from other points.
With the promises of a heavy grain crop the
ooming oeason, the receipts of corn, wheat and
other grains from the interior that will come
hero for export, as well as tor a market, will no
doubt largely exceed any present estimates.
It would be well for our business mea to look
well into the resources of the country now
brought within their grasp, aud to usa all their
energies to secure the trade of a section ot
country whiih must at an oarly day increpo
with unsurpassed rapidity, aud which will
assuredly gire us the basis of a lasting pros?
perity, ii we use our most earnost efforts to
secure it.

Pringle.
The min?tes of the last meeting were read

The Mayer Bftid that since tho last session
of Council hi had received crders from head?
quarters, whiih he lead. (These orders re?
ferred to tho appointment of Mr. N. G. Parker
as alderman it Ward No. 3, oice James P.
Earlo, decease! ; also thc appointment of Mr.
W. N. Hughelas City Assessor). Mr. Parker
being presentitbe Mayor stated that he would
administer th] necessary oaths, and Mr. Par?
ker was duly joalifled, and took his seat as a
member of Ghincil. Mr. Parker having re?
ceived permisi?n of Council, inado a few re?
marks before te regular basiaoss of tho ses?
sion was resulted. He said :
Afr. Mayor am Gentlemen of Hie Council :
lu view of th peculiar c.rcumstauces under
which we meeUit seems fit aud proper for me
to make a fei remarks, wu ich the occasion
naturally auggats.
For some uso past there has been a vacant
chair in this Condi. I had not tho honor of
an ar-quaintana with him whose place I am ap?
pointed to fill: but I have heard him highly
spoken of, andiuat he was a useful member of
this board.
Having receved the appointment to fill the
place made vaunt by the death of Mr. Earle,
and the manor of my appointai nf being
somewhat extrordinary, I trust that you will
pardon me for Hading to the past, and to the
necessity that gave rise to this unusual pro?
ceeding.
lu ordinary '.mes aa election would havo
been held to ti Ut his vacaucy; but we live in
extraordinary trios, which require extraordi?
nary measures to meet them. In ordinary
times there wou?L have been an election on the
first of November to elect a Mayor and a Board
of Aldermen; bf there has been no such elec?
tion.
Every memba of thie Council holds his seat
to-day not by air ordinance of tho city, not by
any ?lection of no city held at a regularly ap?
pointed time, bt by permission cf tho military
authority-by -?at authority, gentlemeu of
the City Connel, you all held your scats,
and by the samtauthority I take mine.
No one rogreh moro thaul do the necessity
that exists far uiusual modes ol' ;$ovcrnment.
I trust, however ibat this necessity will not
much longer regain, that we shall soon be
restored to full, civd and political rights, and
that the trials w havo borne may prove a val?
uable lesson to n.
The great stugnle through which our
country h..s passe, which has boroo so heavi?
ly and terribly ujoa this sectiou of it, was the
inevitable resultsof the two great social sys?
tems of tl.e two ?re.it sections-slavery and
freedom. The ooy wonder to me is that iy
did not occur twetty years sooner. /

FBEIGHT RATES AT SAVANNAH.-Tue followii
are tho rates of freight quoted at Savannah:
To Liverpool, on uplands, Jd.; on sea island
|@?ch; throuch via New Vorn, by steam, c
uplands, 15-16d.; on sea islands, 13-16d. 1
Havre, ljc. on uplands, and l$e. on sea island
To Bremen, l^c. Coastwise freights by sa
are in good supply at better rates, without
large amount o f small tonnage. To New Yor
by Bteam, lc. on uplands, ljc. on sea island,
cn domestics; by sail, ?c. on uplands, $9 t
lumber, aud $1.50 on rice. To Boston, 1
steam, lc. on uplands; by sail, ?c. on upland
12c. on rough rice, in tierces $2; on lumber
?lu. From the Ogecchee, ?ltamaha and S

75c. on domestics. To Baltimore, by Bteai
|c. on uplands, $1.75 on lice; on lumber. 1
sail, $9. Cuban freights on lumber are one
in? at $8@10.
Comparing theso figures with our own v
find our rates to foreign ports fully up to thei
quotations, while in coastwise freights there
a conspicuous difference. By steam, to Ne
York, our cotton rates have been ?c. fi
some weeks, and is only now ?c. against 1
there; to B iston, ?c. here, against lc. ther
to Philadelphia $2.25 per bale, against jc, <
say $3.75 per bale there; to Baltimore, Jc. her
jo. there. These are for local figures, but v
may add that our "through rates" are like wie
lower to Now York and Boston; and to Balli moi
and Philadelphia theie is a still greater savin
via Charleston. Shippers at interior point
will find this out upon examination and ii
quiry.
THE WOOD-WOBK AT THE NEW CUBTOJ
HOT7SE.-Tho following letter, in relation t
the wood-work at the new customhouse, he
been handed to us for publication. It is scarce
ly necessary to say that Mr. Bussell did nc
desire to claim any ci e lit that is not his due
and we are only too happy to give all prope
praise to the ingenious workmen of Charlestoi
To ihe Eddors of the News:
Allow me to correct an error in your issu
of yesterday morning.
lu the local paragraph relative to tho factor
of Messrs. Bussell -k Co., credit is given thos
grntlomcn for tho wood-work of the now cu?
tomhouse. The agreement to make tho dooie
sashes and shutters for the principal story an
a portion of thc upper story was awarded thea
gentlemen by the Collector, who hus the outir
cojtxol of the work. Tho wood-work wa
done by mechanics employed by the Collectoi
and theremainiug sashes, &c, are now bein,
made (hy hand) upon the promises.
Certainly Borne credit is due those who, b
their mechanical skill, perform as good wor
as machinery. Although, ns is remarked i
said article, time and money is saved thereby

THE STBEETS AND DBAINS ON THE NECK.-.
tax-payer, in the following letter, describea f,
forcible terms tho condition of the streets oi
Charleston Neck; and the necessity of an im
mediate cleaning uut of the drains, at least, is s
ovident that it needs no explanation. Of cours
tho city is checked at every corner by want c
means; but the health of tho public require
that the streets should bo kept in a clean con
ditton, and it is better to spend money in pre
venting sickness than in providing hospital
for those who may be attaoked by malarie
disease:
To the Editors oj the Davy News :
GENTLEMEN: rnrougu mo modinni of yon
valuable journal I would beg Lo draw the at
teution of the proper city officials and th
general public to the wretched state of th
streets and drains on Charleston Neck.
The crain from Coming to Butledge-strec
baa been entirely neglected, and the const
quence ia that tho stench from the stagnan
water ona accumulated filth is even at this Bes
son extremely offensive to the nasal organs.
Many tax-payers, to my kuowiodge, ore coe
rinced that if tho proper authorities paid a
much attention to the drainage and repair c
aire?is and sidewalks on thu Nee.; as in th
lower warns, we should not have had so mon
cisea of fever (from malaria) the past sum
mer. I would ask, is it moro important t
ntve fine sidewalks in front of rich men'
houses, or to add to the sufferings of the poo
by paying little or no attention to the usus
modes of prevention. As we contribute ou
quota to thb general fund, we have a right t
nave our wants attended to as well as ou
neighbors. ATAX-PAYER.
