THE ELECTIONS TN NORTH CAROLINA.-In General Orders No. 45, issued yesterday, General danby directs that the North Carolina elections 1M held on the 21st, 22d and 23d of | April next. The provisions of the order are substantially the same as those already pub? lished in regard to this State. CONCERT AT ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH.-1 he long promised concert at St. Joseph's Church will take place this. evening. Among the singers who have volunteered their services for the oc? casion are several young ladies of high musi - cal attainments. Several rehearsals have al? ready taken place, and Che concert will be an undoubted success. We invite a general at? tendance._ A SIMPLE STORE.-A distressed and aged lady in this city offered to sell her gold watch to a United States officer. This waa her last means - of obtaining money to buy bread. The officer took the watch and said that he would have it valued. On the following day the lady received an anonymous note, in which there was a word or two of respectful sympathy and warm good feelin?. With this note was a small package containing the gold watch and two hundred dollars. And this tale has its moral 1 SARGENT, THE ILLUSIONIST.-Our readers will not forget that the Illusionist opens to? night at the South Carolina Hall. He is pre? pared to offer inducements that have been sel? dom equalled, and aside from the merits of the . entertainment, will give a present to all who attend. There are few necromancers who are ?better versed in the mysteries of their art, and we bespeak for Sargent a foll house. There may be illusion in his legerdemain, but there is none in the gifts which he presents to his audience, all free gratis for nothing. CORONER'S INQUEST.-Coroner Whiting held .an inquest yesterday on board the bark Rosa? lind, lying at Accommodation wharf, on the .body of Malcomo Cameron, a seaman, about -eighteen years of age. It appeared from the inquest that the crew had been painting the forward hold, and the hatches were left open at night in order to let the paint dry. The . crew had been notified of this fact, but the sailor in question had forgotten it, and while walking the deck, stumbled and fell through the open hatchway. The injuries received ?were so seri?os that he died in a few hours. The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with : these facts._ REGISTRATION AND THE ELECTIONS.-In a . circular order dated the 24th instant, General Canby prescribes regulations for the revision of *8gistration and the conduct of the elec? tions. One of the most important sections is that which requires the managers of elections to complete their returns and place them in the hands of the Boards of Registration within twen itf-four hours of the closing of the polls. With? in twenty-four hours after this, the Boards of Registration are to make their returns. Poet commanders are required to report progress each day during the revision and election, and, in the matter of registration, the reports are to Bhow the numbers of whites and blacks regis? tered, as well as the total THE CITY RAILROAD.-One provision of the charter granted to the City Railroad Company -was that they should preserve the level of the street, and should restore the grade when worn down by the horses'hoofs. Alderman Whilden offered a resolution at the last meet? ing of Council, calling the attention of the company to this section of their charter, and asking that its provisions be complied with. In several parts of the city, but particularly on the unpaved streets, two deep farrows have . been worn inside the track, and during rainy weather puddles are formed which remain on the surface for several days. Laborers were -busy yesterday in filling up the holes along the line of track in Rutledge Avenue with coal -dust, brick bats, Ac. Two DOLLARS FOR A VOTE.-Under the pres? ent city law, no man can vote at the municipal ^erections who cannot ahow a tax receipt for $2 or over, and the 31st inst, is the latest day for receiving returns. The colored people aire poflSing in by swarms to pay their capitation tax, so as to be entitled to vote; but tbs white people are heedlessly backward in qualifying themselves in a similar manner. It is important for every white man in the city to do all that in him lies to secure the right of voting; and the man who neglects the payment of a small tax now, may have cause to regret poignantly his lack of wisdom and forethought. Gentlemen, if you pay no other taxes-that is, if you own no real estate-walk up and pay your little capitation tax before the set ting of .the sun. HEAVY ON THE IDLERS.-Under the new regime, the Mayor's Court has become a popu? lar institution, and ia every morning filled with an eager crowd of gazers who elbow each other, and sometimes interrupt the proceed? ings of the court by their noise. The different corners at the intersection of Broad and Meet? ing streets are also favorite resorts for loafers, .who occupy them every morning. Mayor Cogs? well has decided that in the command "What? soever thy hand findeth to do do it with all thy might" loafing was not included. The shirting hr-ars are to be improved a la busy bee, and the court and the street corners aro to be cleared. He stated in court yesterday morning that be would hereafter consider all of this class of loungers as vagrants, and, un? less they could show some ostensible reason for their presence, they would be sent to the workhouse and furnished employment. UNITED STATES COUBT-HON. GEOBGE S. BBYAN PBESLDINO.-The court convened at the usual hour. Ou motion of the respective counsel, ?he following cases in bankruptcy were assigned to the different registrars men? tioned below : J. Taylor Zealy, of Newberry; Messrs. Car? lington & Saber solicitors. Referred to Henry Summer, Registrar. Arthur G. tioodwvn, of Charleston; Messrs. Pressley, Lord & Inglesby. Referred to R. B. Carpenter, Registrar. The Newberry Herald and the Charleston Mercury were designated as the papers to pub? lish the assignees' notice of appointment in the cases of Levi Livingston, D. T. Living? ston, and Jacob Ribber, of Newberry. Jh re Seaman Deaf, a bankrupt. On mo rion of Messrs. Magrath & Lowndes, solicitors of H. D. Lowndes, executor of M. B. Deas, deceased, it was ordered that R. B. Carpenter inquire and report on the character and amount of the secured debt appearing by the schedule of said bankrupt to be due to the estate of the said M. R. Deas, deceased. It is also ordered that a copy of this order be serr ed on B, E. Fraser, the assignee of the said bankrupt, and that he have leave to attend the reference and show cause why the property of the said bankrupt, constituting the security of the said debt, should not be sold to satisfy the same. MATOB'S Corxar.-A grocer who was certain? ly green was arrested for keeping an unlawful quantity of kerosene oil and gunpowder in his store, corner Alexander and Chapel streets. That locality has already been the scene of one explosion, and tho Mayor declined to have the experiment repeated. The grocer was fined $200 for striking too mach ile and $100 for the extra loads of gunpowder in his flask. $300 in green? backs is a fabulous sum in these hard times, and the unfortunate wight was nearly dis? tracted. Two innocent storekeepers who kept liquor on their premises merely as medicine for their friends had to pay $50 each for neglecting to treat the city. A warrior, who carried his shooting iron with him, was arrested for having concealed weapons. He said that he was a stranger, in a strange land, and knew not the rules thereof. This did not avail, and the sentence passed was the pistol to be forfeited and the delin? quent to pay a fine of $100. A merchant, who was caught using an un? stamped yard stick, was charged $5 for the violation of the law. , A colored youth was so strack with the re? semblance between a cocoanut and his own head that he was tempted to walk off with both. He was sent to break something harder than cocoonnts for five days. Four other colored boys, who had phosphate on the brain, made a raid on Pottersfield and c&niod off a number of old bones, besides in? juring the nitre beds. They were sent to the workhouse for five days each to become more thoroughly acquainted with mineralogy.

Semplice" when only rix years old, and before his death, twenty seven years later, had created a hundred mu? sical works, each of which would have been sufficient to make a lesser man immortal, "Coai fan tutti," "Idomoneo" and "La Clem enza di Tito" are now never seen upon the stage, bat ."Don Giovanni," "Le nozze di Figaro," and "Zauberflote" still enjoy the freshness and favo:: of youth. "Don Giovanni," the foundation upon which rests the gigantic Tame of Mozart, was written for all time, and "Zauberflote, ' written in the ripe maturity of tus powers, is fall of a weird and fanciful beau? ty, which has made it the idol of the amateur ts well as the favorite of the general public. Fall of grace, overflowing with melody, rich in larmony, varied in expression, deep in its bathos, quaint in its humour,-the "Magic Elate" has again and again been produced with ill the care that operatic managers could be? stow, and to have represented it with worthy success has been the pride of a musical season. Mozart is so essentially different from the iramatic Meyerbeer, the sparkling Auber, the tarnest Mendelssohn, the melodious Bellini, md the blatant and sensational Verdi, that he ?an be judged by no other standard than him lelf, and he frequently disappoints those who oak for the gold upon the surface, and are nore tickled by the songs of "The Minstrels," han awed by the solemn strains of the 'Requiem," or charmed by the graces of 'Batti Batti" and "Vedrai Carino.' ThiB aast be sa. There is "Mother Goose" in pera as well as in nursery rhyme, and they rho are still learning, with orchestral accompa dments, that "A was an Archer, who shot at a frog," must be content to leave the polysylla? bes of musical composition to such audiences s that which last night crowded our miniature heatre to suffocation. A common taste and ade ear cannot comprehend Mozart, and it is : gratification to be assured that there are so nany hundreds in Charleston who know what :las8ical music is, and who are so discriminat ng as to mete out praise only where praise is ustly doe. Last night the company sang with vigor and ipirit, and they made the performance a sac? r?es far beyond that of either "Faust" or "Der freischutz-. Mad. Federici as Pamina, was rarmly applauded, and deserved more than he applause which she received. Hammer as Camino, was in fine voice, and sang with great orce and effect. Reinecke as Papageno-the Julio of the opera-was vocally droll and faci illy funny; and sang, besides, as though he Lad never known a oold or a rough trip by sea. iavastro-Herr Weinlich-was massive and mposing, singing with huge ponderosity and ower. The orchestra was well handled, and mder good control. In fine, the programme ras marred by no hitch, and was cheered from eginning to end. Of course there were some trifling anachro lisms. There is no congruity in winged bulls md pine trees, priests of Isis and plash ?reeches, cane-seated chairs and protecting ?enii, but these little things aid not trouble 1 he audience, nor do they trouble us. 1 THE CHUTNEY LAW-IMPOBTANT TO CmzzNS. -It has been long considered necessary for the safety of the city to have, the chimneys thoroughly swept at stated intervals, and chimney contractors were elected last year to attend to this duty. They have a small army of sweeps who go around to each house in their ward once a month and clean the chim? neys. This enforced system of sweeping is often resented by the citizens, and in some cases they have refused to pay the price de? manded-ten cents a story. The hour is often very unsuitable and the housekeeper apt to grumble whenever a sweep darkens the door, but it should be remembered that the contrac? tor is a city official and is protected by the majesty of the law. Yesterday morning a num? ber of persons were reported to the Mayor who had refused to compensate the sweep for bis labors. Their excuses were many and various, but in each instance they were compelled to pay the amount demanded by the contractor. THE TBIAL OF MAJOR LEE.-The Columbia Phoenix of yesterday says: "The special com mission of inquiry appointed by order of Gen. Canbyto examine into and report upon the charges of cruel and harsh treatment of convicts by Major Thomas B. Lee, the superintendent of | the penitentiary, convened in Janney's Hall yesterday morning. Colonels Judd and Guen? ther, and Captain Chester, compose the com? mission. A number of witnesses were exam? ined, and the only testimony adduced was rather favorable than otherwise to Major Lee. The punishment complained of was the same as ia daily indicted on the regular soldiers. One witness stated that he was forced to get up early in the morning and work all day. Upon inquiry it was found that his sentence was hard labor; but he appeared to think that the institution was a first-class, hotel, where one could lie abed all day if he felt so disposed. A letter was received from an individual in Charleston, whose na no waa attached to the petition. He stated that he knew nothing about the penitentiary, and only signed the petition to Gen. Canby at the request of a friend. One member of the Richland delega? tion summed up his objection in a few words: .To the victor belonged the spoils; the Repub? lican party was in the majority, and those who belonged to it were entitled to the offices.' The trial will be continued several days, as more than a hundred witnesses are to he examined.'' THE MABXET BESTAUB ANTS.-The fiat has gone forth and the cookpots of the African dames that now ornament the lo wer part of the market will be soon removed. The departure of the colored delegates has deprived the maumaa of much of their custom, but having accumulated a goodly pile of greenbacks, they can now think of bettering their condition. Their present location is entirely unsuited to the business, and their increasing custom de? mands a change to larger and more com? modious stands. The city fathers have de? termined to build a row of wooden stalls near the new fish market that will be rented to the restaurateurs, and the main market be rid of their presence. The City Engineer has pre? pared plans for the work, and it ia proposed to erect fourteen of these stalls or booths, seven on either side of the avenue on the vacant space beyond the scale-house. They will each be twelve feet deep by seven feet wide, and will be protected by a projecting roof. The exterior will be boarded vertically and the seams capped-the whole to be painted and finished in an ornamental manner. Only rough material will be used, but they will be constructed especially for cook-shops and colored restaurants, and will be quite an im? provement on the present camp style. These cooks now pay no license to the clerk of the market; but when they move into their new quarters a small tax will be imposed that will soon pay for the coat of the buddings. The board meet to-night, when the plans of the City Engineer will be presented. DESTITUTION TN MABIOK Dumar.- Ve find in the Marion Orescent the following communi? cation, dated LeGette's Mill, ten miles south of Marion C. H., March 22 : The destitution in this neighborhood is alarm? ing in the superlative degree, and unless help comes from some source, and that imme? diately, and I know of no other source that it can como from but the government, a half crop will not be made, and starvation with'many is inevitable. The fact is, many are this moment without a morsel of bread, but as yet I have heard of but one or two deaths caused by the Bame. My barns and mills are haunted by day and night, even wait for corn to come in and be ground that they may get a few quarts of meal to carry home to their starving families. The destitution may be equally divided between the whites and blacks. I made a plenty for myself and family last year, and some to spare, but I do not expect to have that plenty long. Circumstances will deprive me of it. Stern necessity will oblige me, after next week, to withhold subsistence from thirty or forty in? dividuals who cannot help themselves, nan iruage fails me to describe, while my heut sick? ens at the thought. I am an old man, but never witnessed such destitution and affliction before, and hope God that I may never see such a time again. Starvation will multiply the night raids already commenced. The Lord only knows what will become of us ill. DAVID LEGETTE. HOTEL ABBITALS.--MdJs House.-J. D. Schultz, city; Ex-Gov. M. L. Bonham, Edge leld; G. G. Hastings, Wm. Patten, wife and mild.
