THE DAILY NEWS US' LAE-iEsT CI EMULATION.-TEE DAILY SEWS BEING THE NEWSPAPER OFFICIALLY RE COGNEZ ED AS HAVING THB LARGEST CIR? CULATION IN THE CITY OF CHARLESTON, PUBLISHES THE LIST OF LETTERS REMAIN? ING IN THE POSTOFFICE AT THE END OF EACH WEEK, ACCORDING TO THE PROVIS? IONS OF THE NEW POSTOFFICE LAW. LOCAL MATTERS. A SCREW LOOSE.-The Northern mail failed yesterday morning. A failure so soon after ihc inauguration of the new schedule is a bad omen for regularity in tho future. THE RT. REV. DB. P?RSICO will prer.cli at the Cathedral Chapel, Queen-street, to-morrow evening, at seven o'clock. Subject. "The Su? premacy of the Pope.'' THE REV. C. C. PTNCKNIY will deliver a lec? ture before che Young Men's Christian Asso? ciation to-morrow evening, at 7? o'clock, in Grace Church, Weutworth-street. An invita? tion is extanded to all, but especially young people, to attend. CHEAP STANDARD NOVELS.-From Russell's, King-street, we havo a number of Scott's and Dickens' novels, in the new and beautifully printed cheap edition, which the Appletons are now publishing. These comprise Ivanhoe, Kenilworth, Guy Mannering, David Copper f. field, Old Curiosity Shop, Sketches by Boz, and the Tale of Two Cities. The work of the great masters of fiction is rendered doubly delightful by such typography as that of the Ap*)letons. THE CITADEL AND GEOUNDS.-The long prom? ised improvements on the Citadel Green were inaugurated yesterday. Several wagons were upon the main walk empytying their loads of oyster shells, which will soon be sectored along the walks. The green is also to be re? constructed, and will be sown with grass seed at an early day. A few shade trees planted near the fence would be a great improvement . -to the appearance of the green. THROUGH FREIGHTS AT Low BATES.-Messrs. Ravenel & Co., agents of the Leary line, ad? vertise in the Augusta papers that they will re? ceive and carry cotton from this port to New York for $1.50 per bale, free of drayage and commissions. The low price asked should in? duce the planters from the interior to come down with their bales and help the metropolis of the State by keeping her coastwise steamers well freighted._ THE CO-OPE BATTYE STORE.-The grocery store of the Palmetto Pioneer Co-operative As? sociation is now open at No. 107 Market-street, and, by au advertisement in another column, it will be seer, that the patronage of the public is invited. The weekly instalments of members will be Vreceived by the storekeeper at the store dur? ing the week, and by the treasurer ou Satur? day. Music AT THE CHARLESTON HOTEL.-The Post Baud discoursed some of their sweetest strains last night, from the upper piazza of the Charleston Hotel. The night was threatening, . but the music drew a large outside audience, and the opposite side of the street was lined three deep with unbleached citizens of African 1 descent. 1 REMOVAL OP FEDERAL DEAD.-Tho steamer , Ajax is engaged in the transportation of the j remains of United Stales soldiers from various ( points to the new Union Cemetery at Beaufort. , On a late trip the Ajax carried to that place , the bodies of seven hundred and forty Union 1 soldiers, which had been disinterred from the j vicinity of Savannah. The remains of at least 1 . " one thousand more will be similary transferred j in a few days. THE ASPHALTCM PAVEMENT.-Captain Haber- 1 nicht, the contractor for the new asphaltnm ? ? sidewalk, has determined to give it an extra 1 'touch, and yesterday the laborers were busily engaged in tarring the pavement and then ' . covering it with a coat of gravel. The tar will hide all inequalities, and combined with the 1 gravel, will render the new sidewalk hard, firm 1 and durable. Captain Habernichi designs 1 applying a coat of tar to the entire pavement, and though travel will be impeded for a time, ? the result attained will be satisfactory here- ? dafter to all who have occasion to promenade . that portion of Meeting-street. . SARGENT, THE ILLUSIONIST.-The "Wizard of ' . the South" was greeted with an overwhelming ' house last night, many being refused admit- ' . tance on account of the crowded condition of the 1 hall. Sargent has proved himself to be a ver? itable necromancer, as he not only astonishes ? his audience by his tricks of legerdemain. ' but delights them with his presents. He will 1 .continue his entertainment for a few days 1 longer to allow those who have not yet visited him a chance to see his wonderful perform- ' - anees. 1 P. E. Kane, of the Victoria Hotel, was the lucky man who last night won the prize of forty dollars in greenbacks offered by Profes- ' . sor Sargent. Who will be the nest man for a 1 . similar prize ? 1 A NEW BEOOM SWEEPS CLEAN.-Since the new Mayor came into office the court room has 1 been crowded every morning with a promiscu- 1 ons assembly of whites and blacks, while the ( .corners of Meeting and Broad streets have been similarly occupied. An order was issued in court a few days since that an examination 1 of these idlers would be held, and those who c -could give no good account of themselves c would be treated as vagrants. This fulmina? tion from the powers that be bad the effect of * thinning the audience that daily attend this 1 court, and the popular street corners wore E proportionately deserted. Yesterday, however, * a number of persons collected in the court room to witness the proceedings, but were thunderstruck, when leaving, to find a sentinel I J*at thc door, who prevented their exit. They were called up separately and questioned by th c May or aa to their business, means of livUhood, f, and why they had attended the court. About a dozen could not give satisfactory answers and were sent to the workhouse for periods va- j rying from one to three days. They were ex? tremely disconcerted, and those who could r, raise the money paid their way out immediate ly. These crowds have been an intolerable < nuisance for some time, and the action of the Mayor is warmly commended. HOTEL ARRIVALS.-Charleston Hotel-Thos. B B. Pohl, Branchville, S. C.; Robt.

ALL HAIL!-The clouds that lowere o'er our city last night were occasionally ilion ined by brilliant flashes of lightning wbic only served to make the darkness visible, whil tho distant muttering of thunder portended coming storm. About half-past 9 P. M. th expectations of the weather-wise were lealizcc and the citizens were treated to a genuine au thenticated old fashioned " bail^stormT* Th first bail stones that fell were about the size o a pigeon's egg, but they soon dwindled in sizi until the storm terminated iu a heavy rain. I is somewhat unusual to have a hail storm a this season, though our venerable friend Mille: has stated in his almanac that March woulc close " stormy and disagreeable." IMPORTANT TO TAX-PAYERS. -THE CAPITA HON TAX MUST BE PAID.-We have befon alluded to the urgent necessity that existed for at once paying the capitation tax. Without the receipt showing its payment, the voter maj be disqualified and disabled from depositing his ballot. The Mayor has ordered all capita? tion tax returns not paid on or before the Sis! of March to be reported to bim, and double tax executions and summary process will cer? tainly follow. Owners of real estate are also reminded that the tax on one-third of the assessed value oj all real estate must be paid before the 1st April_ A HORRIBLE MURDER was committed las! week in Edgefield District, of which wo gel the following account from the Adver? tiser : On the night of Wednesday, tho 18th instant, Mrs. Elkins, a married lady living in the Dark-Corner section of our District, was most barbarously murdered. Mrs. Elk? ins was still a young woman, the mother of three small children, the youngest an infant of five months. We are informed that Mr. Wm. Elkins, the husband and father, who is a maimed Confederate soldier, was ab? sent from home, at the time this murder was committed, on a visit to an uncle living in the neighborhood. And that when he returned to bis home, at 10 o'clock t ' light, the unfortu? nate man found the deao. ?ody of his wife lying in the yard, the face and head most horribly srushed and shattered as if by blows from an axe or heavy iron shovel. And that in the ab? sence of her husband, no one remained with Mrs. Elkins save ber children and tho nurse >f her infant, the latter a young colored girL The whole affair, however, is as as yet involved in much mystery. The citizens of the neighbor? hood are on the alert to unravel the mystery ind bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to |ustice. On Saturday last, seven negroes, six men and one woman, the nurse above men? tioned, if we mistake not, were brought from Dark-Corner and lodged in the jail of this town. The gentlemen who brought these negroes are Messrs. J. S. Cartledge, S. C. Cartledge, W. R. Parks, A. C. Parks, N. M. Cartledge, and J. P. Sharpton. MAYOR'S COURT.-Friday was certainly an unlucky day tor the city treasury, as few de? linquents were arraigned, and the fines im posed were quite small. Two colored men, who were charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing on the premises of certain citizens, were each charged (10, or given the option of spending ten days in the workhouse. One individual, who hal partaken of the jood-night cup, thought that he would make his bed in the streets, but bis slumbers were rudely interrupted by the pob'ce, and he was charged $5 for trespassing on city property. A stranger, who endeavored to puff his cigar >n Union wharf, was arrested and charged $5 for his fumigation. A stray cow was picked up in the Upper Wards and lodged in the guardhouse. Two colored men appeared to claim their beast, but vere informed that the ransom had been placed it $5, and if that was not forthcoming they vould drink no milk in their coffee that night. A colored man, who had falsely charged Mr. Eberhardt with selling liquor without a ioense, was convicted of perjury and turned iver to a magistrate for prosecution. UNITED STATES COURT-HON. GEO. S.

Contains no inert or mineral materials. The proper relative proportion of the ingredients in MAPES' S t 'PER-PHOaPHATE to meet the re? quirements of the Cotton crop on Georgia and South Caro ina soils, is fully proved by the experience ot planters who testified that wherever applied, even to land noted for rusting colton, the disease is entirely corrected, and a healthy, vigor?os growth produced. On thc same land Peruvian Guano and other fertil? izers have failed to secure a healthy growth. BEPOBTS FBOH PLANTEES, 1867. For Letters in full see Daeripttve Pamphlet. Dr. E. M. BQY.T.T,, Christ Church Parish, writes: Applied at the rate of 160 to 200 pounds per acre on 11th April, on 22 acres blue elsy land, a good deal worn from being planted in cotton from 18S7 to 1867, with only one year's rest during that time, and not? withstanding the long continued cold and heavy rain, and gales during the spring and summer, about the first of September the crop on this field was estima? ted by some of our best judges to promise a yield of 180 to 200 pounds fine Sea Island Cotton Lint to the acre. Notwithstanding the ravages of the caterpillar, the first cotton picked was from the field on which M APES' PHOSPHATE was used, and it bas made about 65 pounds to the acre, while no other man? ured land made over 46pounds. Han used MAPEd' PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden with satisfactory results. THOMAS S. SALTER, Washington County, Gs.,re? ports that seventy-five pounds per sere on old land increased both the Cotton and the Corn three-fold. Considers it far more economical than Peruvian Guano. Dr. E. PABSOUS, Sandersvllle, Washington County Ga,., says: "My observation ls that MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE is a preventive against rust in Cotton. Has about doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn. Bas done better than Peruvian Guano per pound." J. W. SCOTT, of same section, reports: "That his crop manured vi th Peruvian Guano was far more effected by drought and excessive rains than where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used. Shall use MAPES' in preference to any fertilizer he has seen used by his neighbors." W. H. SPARKS, fcatonton. Ga,, reports: "On land about half covered with sedge, and which bad not been cultivated in two years, when the m an uro was put on, badly manured, crop would yield two pounds where the unman or ed would yiell one." B. B. HAMILTON, Americcs, Ga., reports: "Obtained the most satisfactory reBults from MAPES' SUPEE-PHOAPHATE, applying it as a top dressing. Considered to have had the best garden this year in Sc nth western Georgia." W. J. ANDERSON, Fort Vslley.Ga., reports: "MAPEb' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has doubled the crop of cotton ba every case reported, and some re? port it bas more than doubled their crop. On wheat and oats the results are very satisfactory." D. A. WARNOCK. Beach Branch, S. C., reports: "On land which always rusted cotton, increased the crop twofold; IB flr.o cotton ss he has seen this year. Prevented rust Ferr rows unmanured rust? ed in August Everything the MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE was tried on did welL Cotton stood the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green, and growed finely; has boat Peruvian Ouana in bis neighborhood. Believes it to be the BEST Manure now m use." E. E. LILES, L?esv?lo, Anson County, N. C., re? ports: "As compared with Peruvian Guano and Baugh's Super-Phosphate, the reec.lt was decidedly in favor of MAPES* SUPHER-PHOSPH ATE ; attributed, be? yond doubt, to the fact that the ravages of the nut were not, by a marked difference, so severe where ii was applied as where the other manures were." JAMES MOMFETTTN, Alston, S. C., repor|s: "Used a ton of Peruvian, and found the result but one half as compared with those from MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay subsoil. Marked difference in the size of the bolls, ba favor of MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE, On Cot? ton plants the increased growth waa about 100 per oent" JOHN B. HI IR, Mime, S. O.: "Cotton waa more vigorous sad healthy, and ma? tured at least two weeks earlier where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used ss compared with other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' bCPEE-PHO? PH ATE produced loo pounds per sere more Cotton than Rhodes' Super-Phosphate, and 60 pounds per sore moro than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan? tity of each, ISO pounds, used to the sere, cultivated In the same manner. MAPES' b UP EE-PHOSPHATE more than doubled the yield of Cotton." B. 8. VENNZKO, Christ Church Parish, 8. C., re? ports: _ "One application, 200 pounds MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE, per acre, made the cotton grow to the height of six feet, where It grew only two feet the year before. Considers MAPES' ti UP EE-PHOS? PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT? TON, end would safely recommend it to all plant? ers." 8. C. MEANS, Spartanburg, S. C., writes: "Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can safely nay never saw a more vigorous growth impart ed to cotton from the use of any manure. Satisfied the use of MAPEa' SUPERPHOSPHATE pays hand? somely," Rev. W. A. MEBBIWETHEB, Valle Cruels, netr Co? lumbia, S. C., reports: "MAPES* SUPEK-PHOSPHATE has given perfect satistaction, and that it permanently improves the soil Has no hesitation in saying it is the special manure for thc turnip and Dish potato." P. C. PENDLETON, Valdoston,Ga., writes: "MAPES* S?PEB-PHOdPHATE has exceeded my most sanguine expectations. The effects of its use on Corn, Peas and Garden Vegetables was most marked. If it can be always kept up to the stan? dard it must take the preference of ah fertilizers in use." M. B. HUNTER, Quitman, Ga., reports: "Applied at the rato of 150 pounds per acre upon every alternate four rows. The result was truly as? tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double the neighboring alternate rows." TERMS-$65 A TON, CASH. TIME SALES CAN BE ABB ANDED FOB, PAYABLE TN N0VEMBEE. H. AV.
