Scarcely a day passes without a visit from parties of Northern tourists, whose -principal desire is to see the ruined walls and tojsecure some bit of iron or other memento of the siege. The yacht Eleanor makes the passage at stated hours each day, and is sel? dom without a foll complement of passengers These visitors come prepared to see every thing. They are armed with opera glasses and carry baskets to contain the relics that they may collect. No Southern tour is con sidered complete unless the world renowned Sumter is inspected. Fortunately fer Charle? ton, the tourists are usually wealthy, and scat? ter more or less greenbacks along their route CITY COUNCIL-SPECIAL MEETING, Marchi, 1868_Present-General W. W. Burns, and Al? dermen Raven el, Gerdts, Small, O'Neill, Willis, Stein m eyer, Olney, Oakes, Honour, Marshall, Euston, Whilden, Cosgrove, Bailer, Courtenay and Pringle.

C., March 7,1868. ; .[Special Orders No. 58.-Extract Paragraph Vh\ At his own request, and in view of his assign? ment to other duties, Brevet Brigadier- Gene? ral W- W. Burns willbe relieved by Brevet Col. Milton Cogswell, Major of tho 8th United States Infantry, as provisional Mayor of the City of Charleston. By command of Brevet Major-General Ed. R. 8. Canby. LOUIS V. CAZLiBC, A. D. C., Acting Assistant Adjatant-Generai. After reading the order, he addressed Coun? cil as follows: Gentlemen : It is perhaps due to you and the .citizens of Charleston to say that this change was contemplated when I accepted the appoint? ment, time being given for Colonel Cogswell to arrange his business. It was thought better not to make it public lest the rapport and countenance necessary to success would not fibw towards a temporary appointment. I freely accord to every gentleman in this Coun? cil, and indeed to every citizen with whom I have had intercourse, and even to those who are strangers to me, my testimony for prompt and full confidence, without which success would not have been reached. I sincerely re? commend the same cordial support for my sue-11 cessor, so that the affairs ot the city may flourish. Colonel Cogswell was then introduced to Council, and after making the following re? marks, took his seat: Gentlemen: In taking my seat I shall try to -do my duty as Mayor of the City of Charles? ton, and while in that position should wish you to consider me a Charlestonian and to the manor born. Alderman Marshall offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Whereas, Our late Mayor, General W. W. Burns, hu of his own accord been relieved of bis office: be it, therefore. Resolved, That we tender to our late Mayor our thanks for his uniform kindness aud cour? tesy during his short torm as Mayor of Charles? ton, and we trust and have every reason to be? lieve that the same vigorous measures to pro? mote the prosperity of Charleston, and to sse the city ordinances enforced, will be continued iby his successor in office. Alderman Whilden gave notice of a bill to amend thc ordinance to raise supplies for the year 1868, and for other purposes, and asked tthat the notice be considered the first reading, *vhich was granted.

The judgment by default was re? ferred to a jury, who returned a verdict for the United States in the sum of $231.69, with inter? est from Juno 30, 1861. In the Circuit Court John T. Spearman, Esq., was, after examination, admitted to practice, sworn and commissioned. MAYOR'S COCBT.-The court-room yesterday was early filled with a motley crowd, who, with? out regard to class, color, or previous condi? tion, elbowed each other rigorously, tho stronger succeeding in obtaining the coveted position near the railing. At 9 o'clock the police dignitaries took their seats, and a few moments later General Burns, accompanied by the new military incumbent, Colonel Cogs? well, appeared on the scene. General Burns simply conducted the new mayor to his seat and retired. Colonel Cogswell immediately entered on the duties of his position, and from the severity of the fines imposed, it is fair to presume that he intends offenders to fot"; the terrors of the law. The first cases presented were two that had been postponed from Saturday. A choleric in? dividual assaulted a female who called loudly [br the police. The . knights of the star re? sponded promptly, but their authority was disputed by the offender and a companion. Clubs, however, proved to be tramps, and the pair were forced to throw up their hands and surrender. The Mayor considered the attack unjustifiable, and said the police authority must be upheld. The first offender was fined $50, and the second ,~who voluntarily joined in the fray, will have to pay $100 for his impetu? osity. A keeper of a sailor's boarding house in Queen-street, whose guests indulged in a few Liberties, was fined $20. Two darkies whose 'saccharine tastes led them to trespass on Kerr's wharf and sound the depths of some molasses hogsheads were arrested by the vigilant police. The ca6e waa clear, and though they protested their inno? cence and almost swore that sugar made them sick, the sentence was passed, $10 or ten days, where sugar is unknown. A colored matron whose bell had been re? peatedly pulled at the dead of night grew wrathy and emptied her slop jar on her adver? saries' heads. They staid not to exclaim with a youth in a similar fix, "thou rain-est in this bosom," but fled incontinently. A policeman who saw the waterfall arrested the prime actor, and she was charged $5 for the performance. Four publicans who neglected their reb'g-'ous duties and sold liquor on Sunday acknowledged the corn and paid the penalty-$20 fine-with a good grace. A colored man who had been caught ex? posing his person in an indecent manner was fined $20. A skirmish between two of Alric's ebon sons resulted in the arrest of one who flourished a kn Lie. The warrior was condemned to pay $10 or go to workhouse for ton days and learn an? other manual of arms. A 6m all colored boy who rejoiced in tho name of Seabrook Mills was brought before thc Mayor, by bis father, to be corrected. He stated that he was incorrigible, and his parent;; could do nothing with him. To his surprise he was bold to slope and do his own whipping. Another bright colored specimen, of a botan cal turn of mind, was found trespassing in it gentleman's yard. His excuse was that he was bunting for a few jap?nicas. The Mayor thought miner ology was better suited to bia taste, and sent him to crack stones for ten lays. One of the chiffoniers was accused of tree passing, but proved his innocence and was re? leased to resume his rag picking. A duskey Ethiop, whose conscience was pliable, stole a croBS-troo from a yard. He confessed the deed, but 6aid he wanted to burn it. He received a fifteen days' ticket.

To-night we are to have Vic? tor Hugo's fearful play of "Lucretia Borgia," in which the popular actress, Miss Mary Glad? stone, will make her fiirst appearance. BnxiAEDS.-The lovers of this gamo will be pleased to see tho announcement that a grand match game will be played at Badenhop's sa? loon, between Mr. H. P. Butler, of New York, and "Pugg," the well known superintendent of the saloon. Both of tho plr.yers are experienced bill'ardists, and the contest will bo witnessed with pleasure. The slakes are to bo ono hun? dred dollars a side, "Pugg" to receive the odds of four hundr ed points in ono thousand. Tho game is to be the Carom, and to bo called at eight o'clock to-morrow evening. EXAMINATION AT THE CHABLESTON COLLEGE. -The graduating class of this institution as? sembled yesterday morning in the Prebideut's room, and underwent a close and searching ex? amination on the course of studies which they havo hitherto pursued. Tho questions pro? pounded embraced a very wide scope, and the answers of the young men generally gave evi? dence of good judgment as well as hard study. There were but few prepared to enter college at the close of the war, though tho number of studonts has largely increased during the past year. The present graduating class, owing to tho circumstance mentioned, consists of but two members, Mr. Edwin Parker FroBt and Mr. W. St. Julian Jervey. These gentlemen have tra? versed the entire curriculum prescribed in the college previous to the war, and their uniformly correct deportment and scholastic application has won the highest encomiums from tho facul? ty. Tho remaining classes will be examined two weeks hence, and the commencement will take place on tho last Tuesday in March. Hun? dreds of Charlestonians, who claim the Charles? ton College as their alma maier, are gratified to see this revival of interest in the institution, which i9, as it should bo, an object of pride to our whole community. JULIA DEA>*-In our last issue wo announced the news that Mrs. Julia Dean Cooper, the well-known actress, died in New York on Fri? day morning at the residence of her father-in law, No. 231 East Thirty-ninth street, aged 37. Julia Dean was introduced to the public of New York through the effort? nt her father, an actor of repute and ab5' , ai .at fifteen or seventeen years ago, at the Old Broadway Theatre, and at the ?stor-place Opera House, and at once achieved what in those days was considered an immense success. The part of Julia in Sheridan Knowles' play of the "HULCII back," was then her speciality, and she clung to lt as her leading representation to the very latest .of her acting days. Her beauty and talent won for her during the first ten years of her career a wide reputation, espe? cially through the Wost and South. At tho close of that period she married Dr. Arthur P. Hayne, of thia city. The mar? riage, however, proved uncongenial, and she returned to the stage she had left. Seven or eight years after she moved to San Franoisco. In the intervening time she had been playing with great pecuniary success (supporting her husband and children) in California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Minnesota. Two or three years ago she separated from her husband, and, on the grounds of failure to support, ob? tained a divorce from him in the Utah courts, in 1866 she married a Mr. Cooper, of New York. Since her last marriage she has played but one or two engagements. Her health had been feeble for several years-she suffered from trouble in the throat, and her nervous system was a good deal shattered. She was a lady of good conversational powers, high lite? rary culture, sparkling wit, and is said to have been greatly beloved by those who knew her in private life. Her devotion to her profession was entire and religious. She loved her art, and hated everything that cheapened or de? graded it. Her father is still living in St. Louis. She leaves three children in San Fran? cisco. PUBLIC MEETING AT WALTEBBOBO'.-A meet? ing of the people of Co He ton District took place at the courthouse in Walterboro' on Monday last, to express, in accordance with Governor Perry's suggestion, their sympathy with Presi? dent Johnson and the Democratic party in the pending struggle for constitutional liberty, john D. Warren, Esq., was called to preside, and F. G. Behre chosen as Secretary. The Hon. Carlos Tracy introduced the following resolutions: Resolved, That the people of tho South were not driven to secession tnrojgh opposition to the Constitution of the United States, but from opposition to tho party which threatened its guarantees, and now tramples the instru? ment under foot. Resolved, That the people of this district be? lieve that the success of the Constitutional or Democratic party will effect a complete res? toration of tho Union, and this only. Resolved, That, with a view to such a reso? lution, and for tho furtherance of the Demo? cratic cause, an association be formed by the people of this District, to be called the "Demo? cratic Association of Colleton District," the duty of the members of which will be to use their utmost influence and exertion in peace? able opposition to every measure, in the judg? ment of this association, in violation of the Constitution of the United States. Resolved, That it will be a cardinal doctrine of this association, that the "acts of Congress," known as the Reconstruction acts, are in gross violation of the Constitution of the United States, and that opposition thereto and to the acts done thereunder is, and will be, an espe? cial duty of the members of this association. Resolved, That a committee of eleven be ap fiointed by the chair to nominate and report to his meeting a person for President, two per? sons tor vice-Presidents, and one for Secretary of this association, who will form a board for the supervision and direction of its interests, and who will report their action, and that of such sub-boards as they may appoint, to such meetings of this association as the President, or the acting President, may call. Resolved, That it is neither the-purpose nor the desire of this association to deny either the colored or the black population any protection to their persons or their property in the civil rights enjoyed by thc white race, but that, conceding tho usefulness which they ean ex? ert, and the respectability to which they may attain, the members of this association do not deem it consistent with the interests of society at the South, nor with their own self-respect, that they should be willing, for political power, to be committed to those-uo recently ?laves. Mr. Tracy advocated the resolutions in an eloquent address, and the question being then taken, they were unanimously adopted. AU who wore present, with few exceptions, then signed the roU of the association, and the meeting adjourned. [COiOTUMCATED. ] The (few Hampshire Elections. We are authorized to bet seventy-five dol? lars that Sinclair, the Demo:ratic candidate, will be elected Governor of New Hampshire al the ensuing election; and the same amount (seventy-five dollars) that Harriman, the Radi? cal caudidate, if elected, will not be beyond three hundred votes over hiB competitor. Tho bets can be taken collectively or indi? vidually. * BUSINESS NOTICES. H. U.
