CULATION IN THE CITY OF CHARLESTON, PUBLISHES THE LIST OF LETTERS REM AIN? ING IN THE POSTOFFICE AT THE END OF E\CH WEER, ACCORDING TO THE PROVID? IONS OF THE NEW POSTOFFICE LAW. LOCAL MATTERS. f THE GRANITEVTLLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY baa declared a dividend of $5 per share. THE KIXQSTREE STAR announces in ita last issue that its publication will bo discontinued. FOUND DEAD.-The body of Joshua Odom, a citizen of Darlington District, was found dead near McCall 5: Co's Mill, on Tuesday morning. The deccaaod was probably intoxicated and having fallen down waa frozen to doath. An inquest was held and a verdict rendered in ac? cordance with thc facts. THE SOMMERVILLE MURDER.-Goorgo Duffie, tbe colored mon charged with the murder of Uroouis at Summerville was brought to the city yesterday and committed to jail. As the indictment stands in tho name of tho United States it is probable that he will bo tried by the military. The post mortem examination of the de?d body showed that the wounds were inflicted on tho hoad by some sharp instrument -it is believed a hatchet-which crushed the bone, and that each of them were sufficient to have caused deatb. THE VT?3EK OF PRAYER.-Tho first week in January, has for several years, been observed both iu England aud America, as a time of special united prayer. It is proposed to hold a series of Union Prayer Meetings ; to which all who believe iu the efficacy, and value the privilege of prayer, are affectionately invited. The services will ba conducted by ministers of various evangelical denominations. On Sun? day evening January 5th, iii St. Luke's Church, at 7& o'clock.

BBTAN PHESID IN u.-In re Phelan & Callen? der o?. Thomas Flynn. Creditor's potition for involuntary bankruptcy. Tho petition was read by M. P. O'Connor, Esq., and OD bis mo? tion, it was ordesed that Thomas Flynn appear at the Court on January 9th, and show caus? why the petition should not be grouted; also that in the mean time Thomas Flynn and all other persons bc restrained from making any transfer of the debtors' property not excepted by the Bankrupt law. Zn re James M. Martin-potition for volun? tary bankruptcy. James D. Treadwell, solici? tor for petitioner. Messrs. Brewster k Spratt appearing for Mr. Trealwell, read the petition, and on their motion the Judge signed an ad? judication of bankruptcy, referrable tu Henry Summers, Register of the 3d Congressional District. COTTON PRESSES.-Although the receipts of cotton have fallen oft" considerably during the past few days, tho demand for freights keeps thc cotton presses busily employed in making the bags more compact and preparing thom for shipment. The presses of Messrs. Groning k Coates, ou Hayne-street and East Bay, have been working steadily during the whole season, and the puffing of their engine* kept timo with the choking of type in the NEWS office. Though the business has fallen off to a great extent, the demand is still sufficient to .koop both presses in motion. The smaller press, on East Bay, near Union Wharves, has ouly boen in operation a short timo, but has been constantly employed. This press was rebuilt f.ince the war, and though somewhat smaller tl an others in the city, has been found to be very service? able during tho past few months when the rush for freights was at its height. CLEAR AS MUD.-The streets wero unpleas? antly damp yesterday, and the soft mud which carpeted the sidewalks caused the fair prome? naders to bless the divinity that iutroduccd short skirts and thick shoes. The few unfor? tunates who had not conformed to the fashion had their attention fully occupied in the diffi? cult task of keeping their trains from the mud. In the upper portion of King-street, where paving stonos aro unknown, the mud was fear? ful and formed a slimy bog that was almost impassable. Shoes soon lost their brilliant polish, and the cars were sought as an ark of refuge which would pilot tho faint-hearted to dry land. Few who gazed despondingly at the miry slough thought that "dost it was and unto dust it will return." But if the pres? ent fine weather continues old Sol will soon convince unbelievers that his strength has not departed, and the dust will receive the anathemas which are now so liberally bestow? ed on the mud. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.-Peter Pir nie, executor, vs. Martha P. Curtis, adminis? tratrix, el al. Messrs. Porter <fc Connor for complainants, and Messrs. Macbeth & Buist. The exception filed was read, and arguments made on the ground that tho defendants should be allowed costs for all the special matters rn agreement, motions and references which have taken place in tho progress of thc cause. ' The Judge made the folio"ring order, that tho re? port bo reformed as prayed for by the defend? ant in his exceptions, and that the costs bo taxed in conformity with the law regulating the taxation of costs in the Cour t of Equity in the State of South Carolina. Messrs. W. James Whaler, John Grimball and Charles P. Porcher wero admitted to prac? tice in tho United SUtes Courts as solicitors, attornoys and proctors. In the several qas'js of John Chadwick os. W. F. Butler, J. T. Reeves and E. H. Strob hard, on motion of J. B. Cohen, tho Judge signed an order roferi iug them to D. Horlbeck, Esq., Commissioner of tho United States, to inquire and report on the amounts duo on the bond. CHARLESTON FLOUR MILLS_The floor mills of Messrs. Jno. Campsen k Co., in Market street opposite State, have recently rccoived a number of important improvements by which the proprietors aro enabled to facilitate the . grinding and delivery of ilour. The space al- ! lotted to the machinery is comparatively limit? ed, but the arrangement is perfect, and each part performs its separate function accurately. The elevators, smut machine, coolers, and in? deed every part of the machinery in the mill is of the latest pattern. The engine, hopper, and the heavier parts of the machinery aro all on the lower floor, the second ?tory being de? voted to the bolting, wheels, coolers, &c. in the rear of the mill is a large storehouse where the supplies of grain and hay, kc., are kept. Messrs. Campsen & Co. have secured* the services of Mr. Reid, au old and experienced miller, and though tho mill has been in op?ration but a few months, it has already proved to be a pay? ing enterprise, and tho orders received keep the employees constantly busy. The flour nulls eat?bli8hed by Messrs. Campsen k Co. are a proof that energy and activity must com? pel s access, thou/,h business may be prostrat? ed and capital wanting. THE LADIES' FUEL SOCIETY will hold monthly mooting at the Depository, Chali street, on the 6th inst., at 1 o'clock. Tho Ward Collectors, Ward Distributor other officers, are requested to bc puncti attendance. SERVANTS_It has always been a mati difficulty for housekeepers to secure gooc vants, and this evil has not been lessone tho change in tho condition of the coi race. From every side the same complai heard. The principal difficulty is to servants among tho colored class who some idea of the nice distinction bet' ?/i eton and ft???. A majority ol' the house vants now-a-days are perfect nomads, and the descendente of Ishmael, their han against every man. They seldom retain ? nation longer than a month, but mako c: lent uso of their time, and seldom leave v ont fleecing thoirj employer?. So many stances of this systomlof plundering have curred recently that it would be well for ho keepers to keep their valuables secured, their servants under a strict surveilla Mauy of the petty larcony cases that are ported have been effected by former Berra who aro posted concerning the domestic rangements of a bouse, and can easily set an entrance. Unfortunately, servants are ccssary evils, but unless they are well kno employers cannot bo too vigilant. DISTURBANCE AT FOBT MOTTE-THE LEA DI ABMS DEFYLNO MILITABY AND CIVIL L -A report was prevalent in the city yoster that a negro had been shot at Fort Mo and that troops had beeu sent from Colun to quell tho disturbance. ?The evening's ti from Columbia brought tbe following parti lars : On Thursday morning Mr. Diedi Hano, who plants near Fort Motte, was costed by Jeff. Davis, one of his former slai who wished to purchaso a pair of shoes, liane had a small store in which he kept pl tat ion supplies, and from which he had winced the treeJmon many articles. He i Joff. Davis that ho was already in his d and that he could not have the shoes. DE became very indignant at the refusal, t commenced threatening Mr. Hana, saying t ho woold shoot him, ?fcc. Mr. Haue is quite old man, and, fearing the negro might do 1 some injury, he got his gun, and the thre being continued, he fired, wounding the neg but not seriously. Tho shooting was no soo: known to the negroes on the neighboring pl talions, who belonged to tho League, than tl commenced assembling, and in a short ti nearly three hundred were at tho spot, most them being armed. They surrounded I house, posting pickets, and preventing all gross or egress, and said that they would ti the case in their own bands and would all no interference from either the civil or m tary authorities. No one was allowed to cn the house excopt the doctor who was attei ing the boy, and Mr. Hano wis mode a cit prisoner, though no violence was offered to 1 person. His friends seeing the position affairs, dispatched a message to Columbia tho assistance of the military. One compa of the garrison wer* immediately sent to t fort, but their _.*mval had been barely ? nounced when the forces of the League d appeared. The valiant host, who respect neither tho sword or the gown, had vanishe and the soldiers had the battlefield to thei solves. Mr. HaDe was placed under arrest, answer any charges that may be made agair him. At last accounts the negro was recovt ing, aud there were no apprehensions of ai further disturbance.

INCENDLVBISM IN THE COUNTBY.-lu additic to tho receut incendiary fires in Darlingtc District, already noticed in these column The Southerner says : A few days before Mr. Lido's calamity tl ! torch was applied to a building, containing foi der and hay, on the premises of the late Chai cellor Dargan, and tue same was consumed. On Sunday night last, the torch was also a] plied to soinc building at the Cyprus plantatio of tho late James S. McCall and one or moro < them were consumed. The dwelling house on Gen. J. B. Nettlei plantation-in which tho General was sleeping for the first time in months-was fired on Wet uosday night, and before much could be save was soon in a blaze and the Genoral bad bu time to save himself. Stealing has become so common that it i scarcely noticed now ; the absorbing quostio is how to savo one's premises from the iu cendiary's torch. BUSIN TCSS NOTICES. H77I.

SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, ) ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, [ YALE COLLEGE, November IC, 1666. ) I have always recommended the Faber Polygrode Lead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for both or? namental and mathematical drawing; but, altera thorough trial of tho American Polygrade Lead Pen? cils, manufactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New York, I find them superior to any pondi lu use, even to the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencil, being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead pencil. These pencils are very finely graded and have a very smooth lead : even the softest pencils hold the point well; they are all that can be desired in a pen? cil.
