THE "RELIABLE GEHTLEMAI?," who, we thought, was an institution of the war, and had disappeared with the return of peace, yesterday crept from his hiding place, and, finding the air congenial for a man of his con? stitution, ventured forth into tbe full light of day. No one expecting him, he took ad? vantage of the 'rustfolness of the good folk, and "rlaycd all sorts of fantastic tricks before high heaven"-in fact went on n regular ramp? age. He was all about, though we could not spot him. We heard of him at tho Mills House, at tho Charleston Hotel, on tho street cars, at tho convention, in King-street, East Bay, and tho wharves. Broad-street, however, were undoubtedly his headquarters. Hestirrc? . things up greatly, and snch a bagfull of news as ho let 1 jose, we havo not seen in a long time. Tho newspaper offices, tho ordinary head centres of intelligence, wero at a dis? count. They were too slow. The public craved stronger food, and here wns the "reliable gentleman," ready to furnish "great sensa? tions" ad libitum. "Have you hoard the news from Washington ?" "No, what is it ?" "Why, tho President has dispersed Congress, put Grant under arrest, kicked Stanton out of tho Wai* Department, and played tho d-1 gene? rally." "No, roally?" "Fact!" "Gold is up to 45"-"No, it is down to :3C.'' "Tho Presi? dent has blown up Washington, and adjourned to Georgetown." "General Conby has stopped thc telegraph." "Tho Dutch have taken Hol? land." "Thc Fenians have captured Queen Victoria's stago coach, and :ho Cretans arc in lull march on Constantinople." There was a great deal more of the samo sort, but we had our complement-absolutel}" could take in no moro. In iront of tho Club House, tho reliable gon tloman underwent the fashionable metamor? phosis, and carno out a full-rigged "gemman ob cohn," and was in great demand among bis dusky brethren. "You hear de news?" "What's it?" ' Doy say Ariel cum to town, an break up do Convention." "Pshaw I you nigger's a tool; db siu*geon-in-arms ain't ac. wino to lot him in. Ariel better keep away from hero, if he know wat good for hisself. Nigga don't Uko be call beasesos." "Massa Sawyer resigned, doy say. Guess he 'fraid of ho color-I always knowed he warn't black at heart," etc., etc., etc. THE PROPOSED CITY HOSPITAL-THE WORK? HOUSE TO BE REMODELLED FORTHAT J URPOBE. A communication was presented at thc recent meeting of tho City Council asking that tho buildiug known as thc Workhouse should bc remodelled and transformed into a city hospi? tal. This work, to be done under tho super? vision of the City Engineer, and to be com? pleted by tho 1st ot May, when tho lease of the Tucker Building-tho present Hampstead Hos? pital-will expire Tho comer-stone of the Workhouso was laid in 165'J, and it was com? pleted in March, 1852, during the Mayoralty of the Hon. T. L. Hutcbinnon; Mr. David Lopez was tho Chairman of tao Board, Edward C. Jones the architect, and C. C. Trumbo the builder. The naturo of the building required that it should bo constructed in a substantial manner, an I the contractors faithfully per? formed this part of the contract. It presents an imposing appearance, whilo tho solidity of the walls shows at one? that it was intended as a stronghold for refractory characters. Every portion ot the buJding is massive, from the thick walls to the heavy iron work, which extends through every portion of the interior. Few persons are aware that the interior cf the Workhouso has but ono main floor, from which the various stagos aro raised. A broad aisle separat os these from tho walls, and each stage or flooring consists of hugo wooden cages, secured with heavy iron gratings. The corridors, which border those, havo strong iron railings, and the wholo interior of tho building was arranged to give the utmost pos? sible security to both the inmates and thc keepers. This iron work was furnished by Mr. Worner, of this city, aud is artistically constructed. To make tho necessary transformations, it will bc requisite to remove theso stagings, thro .ving tho wings into two large halls; the centre abutment being reserved for tho officers of tho building. These halls wiU bo high, well lighted and ventillatod, and tho mass of iron and lumber that would bo removed could be sold for more than the sum tho contemplated improvements would require. At present a portit.n of the lower story of thc building is occupied by tho city insano, who arc kindly cared for by Mr. Fairley, tho steward of the adjoining hospital. Every inBano patient sont to Columbia by tho ?ity costs about $200. By the proposed transformation not only this sum will be saved, but room wiU bu afforded in tho two hospitals for nearly threo hundred pa? tients. As tho Tucker Hospital is rented for $1500 per annom, and tho Workhouso is muni? cipal properly, it will be ?eon that tho sugges? tion of Dr. Pelzcr, if carried out, will cause a groat saving to tho city. There aro at prosont in thc Mazyck-stree t Hospital about one hun? dred and sixty path nts, and probably half (hat number in Hampstead. These could be fur? nished, under the proposed plan, with com? fort;', bio quarters in the heart of the city. Tue City Eugincor has been authorized to ad? vertise for proposa s, and there is little doubt that :.ho scheme of the Board ot Health will bc carried into od'ect, and a useless building bc converted into i. linc hospital at a small ex pense. Ibo roof bas been lately repaired, and the gutters and pioi.-.g are famished complete; thc only chango now required will be to rc movo thc staging, which will convert each wing into a larg? ward, and give the city a hospital building which will compare favora? bly with those of Dther cities.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND ANNIVER? SARY OF THE GERMAN FRIENDLY SOCIETY. - Tliia society is ono of tho oldest, as well aa largest, in tho city, and in days of Auld Lang Sync tho anniversary was celebrated in a man? ner becoming tho descendants of Fatherland. Tho society is a great favorite with its mem? bers, and its weekly meetings aro goncrally well attended. Their fine hall in Archdalo street was burnt during the great tire of '61, and since that time the society baa, in common with other corporations, felt thc depressing in? fluences of the times. Notwithstanding their misfortunes they havo kept tho holy link of brotherhood unsevrred, aud their meetings are characterized by the same feelings of good fel? lowship as existed in more prosperous days. Tho society wisely determined that iucontc quence of tho great social, political and finan? cial depression, to dispense with tho usual an uiversary banquet. A bountiful collation was, however, spread, and hoalths were drunk in temperate ale to the memory of the fathers of the society, and the long roll of its honored dead. The meeting was numerously attended, and tho usual busiuess transacted in that har mony and spirit of brotherly love which has always characterized tho society. The follow? ing officers were elected to serve during the ensuing year: JACOB SMALT, President H. B. OLNEY, Semor Warden. ALEXANDER M ELCH ER S, Junior Warden. JACOB F. SCUIRMER, Treasurer. JOHN A.

A BOLD ASSAULT AND MURDER NEAR DAR? LINGTON C. H.-We leam from n gentleman from Darlington tho particulars of a recent murderous assault in that district. On Friday night, about ll o'clock, five negroes, all of them armed with Runs or muskets, entered thc storo of Mr. Mathew Muldrownear Darlington. The clerk, Mr. Suggs, thinking that this lato visit was unusual, was alarmed and notified his wife, who woko up a young man named Wyndham, wiio was staying on tho promises. Wyndham took his shot-gun and went into the back room of tho store for tho purpose of watching tho proceedings. Thc nogroos ap? peared to bo anxious to puichaso. but after some time one went out, when Suggs fchut tho door. A short timo after this one of tho ne? groes Btampod thrco times and whistled, and then a shot was fired at Suggs, which killed him instantly. Wyndham thou fired one b rel of his gun which was followed by a volley from the four <ruiis. Mrs. Suggs, who was in the anteroom, was wounded in the finger, arm and nock by these shots, but Wyndham os caped. He instantly fired his last shot and rushed out aud reported the facts lo Mr. Mul drow, tho owner of thc store, and to tho mili? tary authorities at Darlington. A detachment of troops was sent out tue ncxL morning, and the sheriff, Mr. W. B. Timmons, assisted in tho search. Thtoo of the negroes were cap? tured, and though Wyndham thinks Uiat he shot ono, the remaining two aro still at large. Tho prisoners were examined and sent to thc Marion jail. It appears from tho testimony of tho wit ncsses that a lew weeks previous Gee's mill in the neighborhood had been broken into and robbed, and Mr. Sugg.s and Wyndham wcro the principal parties who arrosted tho miscreants This proceeding was not in accordance with black taste, and tho attack on Mr. Suggs Boon followed. After Mr. Windham left the store tho negroes iusido robbed tho building ol about four hundred dollars worth ot' goods, but a great portion of this property has been re covered. This is one of the most high-handed out rages that has occurred in that section of the country, and tho attention of tho district hoad quarters is again called to tho bauoful prac ico of tho negroos carrying firearms.
