February 25. 1868. GEORGE S. P.?LV-EB, M. D., City Registrar. .'CHARLESTON is something o f a city, after alL" We heard this remark made yesterday at the Mills House by a stranger, who had evi? dently just arrived. So it is. Few places in the country' to-day possess more of tho ele? ments of comfort and content than this same old "city by the sea." The atmosphere is as balmy as if imported fresh from the Bay of Naples. Our orango trees are bearing their fail weight of delicious fruit; our market is one of the beet in the world, and tempts the gourmand with everything in the shape of fish, flesh and fowl from an unoiled sardine to tho juiciost game. Our society is polite, refined and hospitable. Our professional men are learned. Our public institutions are models. Our ladies are the prettiest, our chil? dren tho best and cleanest, our "maumas" are old-time and aboriginal. Cur municipality is the best ordered; our police are the most harmless; and our Mayor is a trump; finally, our stroats are cosmopolitan. You miy prom? enade the paves on King or Meeting-street any fair day, and tread on the toes of Counts in? cognito, rub against members of Congress, and behold the best bred representatives of Yan j. kee enterprise who travel to air themselves. Our present population is, in brief, a mosaic, whose pattern, though not on quite so large a scale, is quite as unique and astonishing in its variety as any that can be found in even t he great metropolis itself. Taken as a whole, therefore, the stranger was right-"Charleston is something of a city after all."_ THE CITY COUNCIL-BEOULAB MEETING. Present-His Honor Mayor Burns; Aldermen Bavenel, Gerdts, Small, O'Neill, Willis, Stein meyer, Olney, Oakes, Honour, Enston, Wbil den, Cosgrove, Butler, Parker, Courtenay, Pringle, and Marshall.

Recoiv ed as information. Sundry bills from the Alms HouBe and other offices were read and referred to tho Commit? tee on Accounts.

A resolution to employ Mr. Webb to replant trees on the Battery and City Park, the ex? pense not to exceed $200, was adopted. Alderman Marshall called for the report of the Committee of Wavs and MeRns, on the protest of certain merchauts against the city tax on sales. Tho Chairman of the Committee ?esponded that the committee would report at the next regular mooting of Council. The ordinance to amend the first section of an ordinance to prevent the filling up of lots with certain materials, ratified January 18th, 1859, was ratified. Adjourned.

It is virtually a quitous scythe by which the reckless fest of early spring arc mowed down, and the ard ol sackcloth und repentance are 1 abovo their ruins, lt is customary in v; portions ot Europe to have attractive soci tcrtainments on the eve of the first day of Shrove Tuesday is known as "Pancake I among some of the nations of the Old \ from the custom then in vogue of pres? "home-baked confectionery," especially cakes containing wedding rings, before ti groups at tea. The belle or the beau wh tains the golden pledge of marital uni supposed to be on the high road to the 1 nial altar. But all the merriment ceas midnight, and the morning opens the sc ceremonies of Ash "Wednesday-so-called the emblems of mortality which are plao tho foreheads of the members of the Ri Catholic Church by the priesthood to di their origin and the end of their earthly ca The ashes used on the occasion aro i of the palms which were consecrated on Sunday in the previous year. To a large tion cf the religious world, Ash Wednc proclaims the cessation of all the common extraordinary pleasures of other seasoi tho year. Among th* members of tr "3c Catholic and Episcopal Churches, espet the branch of the latter, known as "Hi balls, parties, theatres, and kindred an mcnts aro forbidden durng Lent; and ac cycle approaches toward? Easter, the pal age of the places of put lie resort is prc tionately diminished. In all the Catholic churches of this cit Sunday tho officiating priests r?ad the io! ing regulations for the observance of I issued by tho Right Rev. Bishop Lynch : Ash Wednesday, tho first day of Lent, on the 26th day of February. 1. All the faithful who have comp! their twenty-first year, are, unless legitim ly dispensed, bound to observe the Fas Lent. 2. They are to make only one meal a i excepting Sundays. 3. The meal allowed on fast days is no be taken till about noon. 4. At that meal, if on any day permisi should be granted for eating flesh, both f and fish are not to be used at the samo ti even by way of eoasoning. 5. A email refreshment, commonly called lation, is allowed in the evening; no gen rule as to the quantity of food permited at i time is or can be made. But the practice the most recular Christian is, never to le exceed the fourth port of an ordinary meal. 6. The quality of food allowed at a collai is, in this Diocese, bread, butter, cheese, kinds of fruits, salads, vegetables and f Milk and eggs are allowed. 7. General usage has made it lawful to di in tho morning some warm liquid, as I coffee, or thin chocolate, made with water. 8. Necessity and custom have authorized usc of hog's lard, instead of butter, in ; paring fish, vegetables, &c. 9.

By order ot f KT- REV. DR. LYNCH, Bishop ol Charleston T. BERMTNOHAM, Vicar-GeneraJ. Charleston, S. C., February 10,1868. THE STRIKE of the colored laborers on i wharves continued yesterday, and all day lc a motley and discontented crowd of idl thronged tho sidewalks of East Bay. We have been at some pains to ascertain I points involved in the strike, and find them be as follows : Tho stevedores have been the habit of paying their laborers two dolli per day, with fifty cents additional per c to the foreman, as the loader of euch ga of five laborers ?B termed. Under this sc., ot rates tho stevedores havo been enabled load vessels at the uniform rate of forty cei per bale. The strikers demand an increase fli'ty cents on tho daily wages of foremen a laborers, so (hat thc former should got thi dollars per day and the latter two dollars a fifty cents. They contend that tho stevedoi j can afford thc proposed advance by in creas L I their own ch uge per bale for loading vosse Tho stevedores, howover, have sot the faces against the movement, and declare th they consider forty cents por bale asufficienl h:'0h ralf, and that any increase of tho sar could not fail to work to thc disadvantage tho cotton trade of our city. This, we I lieve, is about a fair statement of tho difficul as il stands. Thc strike last year, to which reference h boen made, was for a very similar object-tl effort of thc laborors in that case being to i croase the stevedored charges from forty forty-five cents per bale. The white stevedores, wo understand, e press themselves as resolved not to yield; h two colored stevedores resumed work yeste day afternoon, allowing the foremen and labo ers the advance demanded, and charging tl sliips forty-six cents per bale with the unde standiug that the captains should contribute portion of the labor.

A NEW PRINTING PRESS FOR THE DAILY NEWS.-Daring the past few months tho prosperity of THE CHAELESTON DAILT NEWS has outstripped our moat sanguine ex? pectations. It has been our constant endeavor to make this journal excel in typographical neatness, in tho selection, condensation and arrangement of its reading matter, in special and general telegrams, and especially in the fulness and vivacity of its local reports. Our efforts to sup? ply the wants of the reading public in this respect, havo not gone unreward? ed. 1 ho circulation of THE DAILY NEWS has steadily and largely increased-so largely, in? deed, as to render increased facilities for print? ing oui" edition with thc necessary speed and certainty absolutely indispensable. Wo have therefore been obliged to purchase a new ami ?plendid press, with a far greater printing capacity than tho one we have hitherto used, so that hereafter we shall be enabled to supply the thousands who look for THE DAILY NEWS each morning, with greater regularity and at an earlier hour than it has hitherto been possi? ble for us to do. Our new press arrived yes? terday from New York, and busy hands are now preparing it for future usefulness. CHANGE IN THE MAIL SCHEDULE.-It is un? derstood that arrangements have been made which will work an important chango in tho schedule of the mail trains between the North and Charleston. Thc time occupied in tho journey from New York to this city will be four hours moro than i(; is now; but the trains will arrive at about ll A. M.. instead of bali-pr.st two. Under the present system the New York even? ing papers of Monday arrive in Charleston at 2.30 P. M on Wednesday; under the new sche? dule the New York morning papers of Monday will arrive at about ll A. M. Wednesday. The Wilmington and Weldon Road is said to be op? posed to any change, but the pressure in front and at tho rear is so great that it must either give way or bear thc maledictions of thou? sands of lying-over travellers and disappointed correspondents. At present the mails from the North come in-when they do come-ct a very inconvenient hour, and tho new plan will meet with general approval.

For full report, with analysis made by the Com? mittee of the Institute, composed of Or. c. E. BUCK, Professor J. G. POHLS, anil other prominent Chem? ists, see pamphlets. The distinguished feature of this SUPEE-PHOS PH ATE from other similar Fertilizers is, that all af ils ingredients are of ami tal origin, and are either soluble in water, or tn a amaition to quickly become soluble in the soil and be ta ten up by the crop. Contains no mort or min. rai materials. The proper relative pro jordon of the ingredients in MAFE.V St PER-PHOtPHATE to meet (he re? quirements ol the Cotton cop on Georgia and South caro.tua soils, is fuBy pr jved by the experience of planters who testified that wherever applied, even to land noted for rusting cotton, the disease is entirely corrected, und a healthy, vigorous growth produced. On the same land Peruvit i Guano and other fertil? izers have failed to secure a healthy growth. BEPOBTH FBOM T'LANTEBS, 1867. For Letters infuU se'. Descriptive Pamphlet. Dr. E. M. ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes: Applied ut the rate of 16n to 200 pounds per acre on 11th ?pril, on 22 acres bl ie clay land, a good dca worn from being planted ta cotton from 1867 to 18671 with ouly one year's rest curing that time, and not? withstanding the long con inued cold and heavy rain, and gales during the sprit .g and summer, about the first cf September the crop on this held waa es:?ma? ted by some of our best j iidges to promise a yield ot 181) to 200 pounds line Set island Cotton Lint to the acre. Notwithstanding tl o ravages of the caterpillar, the first cotton picked w is from the Held on whi>-h MAPES' PHOSPHATE vas used, and it has made about 66 pounds to the icre, while no other man? ured land made over 46 pi sudan Has uso J MAPEV PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden with satisfactory results. THOMAS?, SALTES, Wuhington County, Go.,re por. s that seventy-five pc ands per acre on old land increased both the Cotton and the Corn three-fold. Considers it far more xonomical than Peruvian Guano. Lr. E. PASSONS, Sandel sviile, Washington County Ga., save: "My obaerva?on is tb it MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE is a preventive against, rust in Cotton. Has about doubled the Cotton and breded the Corn. L as done better than Pei uvian Guano per pound." J. W. SCOTT, of same section, reports: "That his crop manur ed with Peruvian Guano was far more effected by drought ard excessive rains than where MAPES' SUJ'Elt-PHOSPHATE was used, r-hall use MAPES' in preference to any fertilizer he has seou used by bis neighbors." W. H. SPARKS, fcatcntm, Ga., reports: "On land about hair covered with eedge, and which had not been cidtivated in two years, when the manure was put on, badly manured, crop would yield two pounds where the unmanared would yicl 1 one." B. B. HAMILTON, Amt lieus. Ga., reports: "Obtained the mos: satisfactory results from MAfi-S' SCPER-PHO. PHATE, applying it as a top dressing. Considered to hive had the best garden this year in Stuthwestern Georgia." W. J. ANDEBSON, For ; Valley,Ga., reports: "MAPEs* siUi-ER-PIIOsPHATE has doubled the crop ot cotton in every i ase reported, and some re? port it has more than d oubled their crop. On wheat and oats tho results are veiy satisfactory." D. A. WARNOCK, Bea. h Branch, S. C., reports : "On land which always rusted cotton, increased tho crop twofold;.'a ? ne cotton as he has seen this year. Prevented rust Four rows unmanured rust? ed in August. Everything the MAPES' tUPER PHOSPHATE was trie J on did well. Cotton stool tho cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green, and gr owed finely; lins beat Peruvian Ouana in his neighborhood. Believes it to be tho BEST Manure now in use." E. R. LILES, Lil es v lie, Anson County, N. C., re? ports: "As compared with Peruvian Guano and Baugh's Super-Phosphate, the result was decidedly iu favor of MAPEs' bUPHER-PHOSPHATE; attributed, be ?ond doubt, to the fi ct that the ravages of tho rust were not, by a market I difference, so severe where it was applied as where the other manures were." JAMES MCMEEKZN, ?Jston, S. C., reports: "Used u lon of Peruvian, and found tho result but one half as compare i with those from MAPES' SUPEtt-PBOSPHATE Soil mostly sandy, with clay subsoil. Marked diflerence m tho tlze of the bolls, in favor of MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE. On Cot? ton plants the iucreai cd growth was about 100 per cent." % JOHN R. HATS, Mirra, S. C. : "Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma? tured at least two weeks earlier where MAPES' SUPER-PHOiiPHATI was used as compared with, other fertilizers applied. MAPES" SUPtSR-PHOS PH.'.TK produced lot pounds per acre moro Cotton than iihodei' Super-Phosphate, and SO pounds per acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan? tity of each. 160 pounds, used to the acre, cultivated in the samo manuer. MAPES' SUPER PHOSPHATE more than doubled the yield of Cotton." R. h. VENNTNO, Clriat Church Parish, 8. C., re? pot ts: "Ono application, 200 pounds MAPES" SUPER? PHOSPHATE, per acre, made tho cotton grow to tho height of nix icc', wlieic lt grew only two feet the year before. Considers MAPEs' bUPEK-PHOS PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT? TON, and would sa fe ly recommend lt to all plant? ers" S. C. MEANS, Spartanburg, S. C., writes: "Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 16th. Can safely say never saw a mote vigorous growth impart cd to cotton from th i use of any manure. Satisfied the usc of M A PK-/ fe UPEit-PUOSPE Air pays han i somciy," Rev. W. A. MERE .-WETHER, Valle Cruels, near Co? lumbia, S.

P. C. PENDLETON, Valdoston,Ga., writes: "MAPES' ?sUPEB-PHOoPHATE has exceeded my moat sanguine cir cotations. The effects of its use on Corn, Peas ai d Garden Vegetables was most marked. If it can be always kept up to the stan? dard it must toke the pieference of all fertilizers in use." M. B.
