A NATURAL CURIOSITY.-We have been fa- 1 Tored with a peep at oue of the most curious . specimens of the animal kingdom that has been brought to this country. It is something of a cross between a rat and a squirrel, and is ? in every respect worthy of the name of Austra? lian Ferret. The beast in question is a fe? male, and has three young. It can be seen for . a few days at the next door south of the Mills House. V~ -? ? -? ? ? REOBSTRATION.-The registration for the five ? days closed yesterday at the Market Hall, and . showed aixty-sixwhite and forty-four colored a larger number of the latter than have regis? tered any day during the five. There was . some disappointment manifested by the re . cently naturalized citizens who were refused : the privilege of registering on account of their non-residence in Ward 3. CONTRIBUTION TO 8CTENCE.-We are pleased to learn that our learned young townsman, Dr. ' William H. Geddings, who has spent the past - two years in Germany, has contributed a valua? ble paper on the Pathological Anatomy of "Lupus"-the result of long and patient inves? tigation, conducted by himself. The treatise was presented by Professor BocMtausky; the -? nestor of historiological science, before the Im \ peria! Academy of Vienna, in whose tra ns ac . ti cms the said esBay will be published.

A general at? tendance of the members of the Board is re - quested. r MASS MEET rs S or THE UNION REPUBLICAN PARTY.-A large Republican meeting was held .last night at the Club House. The hall was ? densely crowded with negroes, the few whites who were present being gathered immediately around the stage. The aisles, lobby and win? dows opening on the piazza were thronged -.with dusky citizens. On the stage were Dr. A. . G. Mackey, General Scott, Colonel Willard, T. . J. Mackey, D. T. Corbin (white), A. J. Bansier - and Major Delaney (colored). SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.-The teachers and friends of the various Sunday Schools of - our city are to assemble to-night, to listen to an address from Mr. B. G. Pardee, the editor of the Sunday School Times. The recent la? bors of this esteemed gentleman have been .highly appreciated in the Southern cities. His -.suggestions regarding the elevation of the ? standard and imparting a higher biblical char? acter to this most important institution, have . stimulated to renewed energy the frienr? of this noble cause. The religious public are . cordially invited to attend these exercises in -'ihe Second Presbyterian Church, Be v. Dr. Smythe's, at eight o'clock this (Tuesday) e ve? ining._ UNFORTUNATE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-Yeater < day afternoon, about half-past six o'clock, while ? the train on the South Carolina Railroad was t backing in at the corner of Woolf e-s tree t and the :f railroad avenue, a young woman named Mary O'Brien was knocked down, and the wheels passed over her body, fracturing the right arm . and both legs above the ankle. The cars were .instantly stopped, and Drs. Aldrich and Prio leau called to the sufferer. Every attention ""Was bestowed, and she was removed to the .Hampstead Hospital, which was near her resi? dence. Dre. F. Peyre Porcher and T. Grange "Simons, the physician in charge and house physician, were called, and it was decided that amputation was necessary. Miss O'Brien is - about twenty-two years of age, and was return ... ing home when the accident occurred. Every attention has been paid her at the hospital, and it is possible that she may yet recover"from .her injuries. How TO KEEP A HOTEL.-First, be a big, ?hearty, whole-souled, jovial fellow, with a . smile for everybody, especially when they settle their bills. Secondly, keep a first-rate table, first-rate servants, neat rooms, clean : sheets, and chambermaids who are "death on '.bed-bugs. ' Third, have nice clerks who can : swear to every traveller, with the most proper . of faces, that he is about to receive the very best room in the house-clerks who emulate the politeness, bonhommie and suaviler in modo of their chief. Major Horbach, of the . Charleston Hotel, belongs to that immortal class who may be measured by these rules. With him improvement is the order of the day, . and the public are quick to find it out. His latest step forward has been in securing the services of Mr. John A. Hamilton, who is said to be one of the most popular hotel men of the day. The travelling public will find in bim an ? old fu?niliar friend, and those who don't travel will soon discover that he ia to the hotel man - BOT born. * Passover. The feast of Pesab or Passover (Nur 16) commenced yesterday evening, day of Nissan, corresponding this j April 6. On the day preceding the foi Passover, i. e. yesterday, all thc first 1 in commemoration of the deliveram first born of the Israelites when God the first born of the Egyptians. Th ladies are proverbial for their clean housekeeping, and whether ii is neede on all festivals the houses are cleai whitewashed from cellar to attic, bu festival the most scrupulous attention i the cleansing of everything, not alon dwelling house, but in the kitchen a day before Passover commences, ever; in which food is prepared or from wi eaten is laid aside and others put in t! ces ; this law is imperative and genen 8cientiously observed. This rule applh utensils in the kitchen and also in th room that come in contact with the foo is prepared at other times. On the first and second nights of t the history of the Jewish captivity ar providential and miraculous deliver Egyptian bondage is recited in every house to every member of tho family around the festive board. To-day and to-morrow and Mondi Tuesday next aro observed sacred. T intermediate da} s are only half holida, permit of the doing of secular work. The eating of llazoth, or unleavened is strictly observed by ail Israelites, n old or young, rich or poor, and so neces! it considered that every family of Isr should have a full supply, that it is bout distributed to those families who are to to pay for it. T.ie*preparation for it is lows : Before going to the Synagogue evening, the table is decorated with a plate containing the "Matzas," or unies bread, covered with a beautiful cloth, the cloth are placed a piece Of lamb, in i ry of the Pascbal lamb; an egg, for the ing in honor of the festival; a cup, with { horse-radish and bitter herbs, and a i vinegar or salt water, to comm?morai Uves of their ancestore, made bitter; anc ly, a cup containing a mixture of appl monds and cinnamon, termed chrosis, in ory of the brick and mortar. On retu home from the Synagogue the whole i take a seat around the table. The ni of the bouse having filled the "I Ka ns es" with wine, presents one to ever of the company and then chants the Ki or Sanctification; at the conclusion of \ every one drinks the cup of wine. Dunn ceremonies foui: cups are drank-"Arbah ses" signifying the four expressions UBI the Lord when he renewed the promise o deeming the children of Israel from bom When the cups are filled for the second one of the youngest of the family is made i quire in a certain f?rmala the reason o night's being hi so many respects different others,&c,upon wuk .arise and lift u; plate with matzas, saying: "This is the bread which our fathers ate; and they then the history of their ancestors from the time i Abraham was called away from the idolai worship of his kinsmen to the time of red rion of the Israelites by Moses, intermic with prayers ot promise and gratitude, part concluded, the second cup is drank; which the hands are washed, and then thej a piece of matias, with some bitter herbs Supper is served, and after grace is said third cup is crunk. Then follows the cb ing of Psalms 115-118, called the HalleL T are followed by the singing of hymns. E one now raises his cup, and joins in soler uttering the following sentence : "The con year we hope ko be in Jerusalem" After they drink tho last cup, and finish the ser and ceremony by singing beautiful songs allegories. On the second day of Passover, the 16t] Nissan, commenced the counting of the Ol for seven weeks. (8ee Leviticus, xxiii.) FOB CALIFORNIA AND CHTNA.-The tide emigration from New York to California, ( na, and the for West, is now something enormous that the Pacific Mail Steams Company hf ve announced their intention running a steamer every week, instead every ten days as heretofore. The steams Arizona, whioh left New York April 1st, carri besides twelve hundred tons of miscellany freight, over one thousand passengers. 1 superior accommodations furnished by t line, with a great reduction in their freight a passage ratos, account for this enormous 1 siness. FOWL THIEVES.-These marauders have 1 come so numerous in the community tl some ateps should be taken to protect the ci zens from their raids. There are few stre< where a huckster cannot be seen crying poi try, and in too many cases there is reason beheve that the stock has been stolen. T two markets are the proper places to sell poi try, and if these are too far distant, certa portions of the city should be designated f this trade. It is true that.the fowl vendors a required to take out a license, but this is otu evaded, and unless some ordinance is pass? which will regulate the traffic, our citizens w continue to ?rifidr from the plunderers of the ben roosts. THE MANSION HOUSE_The travelling publ will be pleased to learn that this popular e tablishment bas been taken by Mr. Oeorge ] Wells, for many years the head clerk and ai eistant superintendent of the Mills Hous< From his connection with the latter hotel Mi Wells will be enabled to make bis new home Mills House Jr., and a number of the guests < the Mills will become inmates of the Mansie Hon BC. Mr. Wells has a large experience i hotel keeping, and his numerous acquaintar. ces will be pleased to learn that although th Mills House is closed they can secure room with him, and have the same attention paid t their wants as heretofore. The Mansion Hous is to be .fitted up as a first-class hotel, and wil be opened on Wednesday under the new ans pices. _ ^ AN EXODUS.-The closing or$be Mills House for the Bummer necessarily conSjfelled a large number of the permanent boarders to seek other quarters. The main entrance was crowd? ed yesterday with the trunks and baggagd o: the departing guests. For six long monthf the Mills House will be but the shadow of itt former self; the rooms will be closed and the doors barred against the traveller, and only those who have charge of the building will be allowed ingress. That portion of Meeting street will lose its wonted Life and activity. It is an ill wind, however, that blows no one good, and what is a loss to the Mills House may prove a gain to other hotels in the city. MATOB'S COURT.-The docket yesterday morn? ing was quite slim, and the business of the court soon finished. An individual who hitched his horse to a tree-box in front of the City Hall, was fined$5. Five cases of drunk were called up, and the parties mulcted-the fines ranging from $5 to $15. An aspiring youth undertook to raise his kite on the public street, and was charged $5 for the attempt. A colored boy who attempted to break up a religious meeting, and struck one of the dea? cons with a slung-shot, was fined $50 for his want of grace. His companion, a colored girl, who participated in the row, was locked up for ten days. THE APPHOACHESO ELECTION-*.- Genera! Can by has issued the following important order with reference to the preservation of order during the ensuing election. It will be ob? served that the colored people are especially reminded to preserve order, and not to inter? fere with others in the exercise of thc right of suffrage : HEADQUARTERS PECOKD MILITAEY DISTOXCX, I CHABLESTON. S. C., April C, lSiiS. j [General Orders, -Vo. Cl.] The Commanding Genera! has received informa? tion from different sections of the states of North Carolina and South Carolina, and from members of both political parties, that combinations have been formed, or are now being formed, to prevent, delay, or hinder the execution of the laws of the United States, or by force, intimidation or threat, to prevent persons from accepting or executing the duties ot any office or employment under the United States, at the elections to be held under the authority of the law of March 2, 18G7, "to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel States," and the laws that are supplementary thereto. While he is satisfied that these complaints apply to a few pecsous only of both parties, it is proper that all such persons should be warned that any attempt by force to prevent, hinder or delay the execution of the laws of the United States, under the authority of which the said election is ordered, or by force, in? timidation or threat, to prevent any person from ac? cepting or holding any office of trust or place of con? fidence under the United States, as Registrar, Super? intendent, Judge, Manager, Inspector or Clerk, or other employment at said election, will be amenable, not only to the penalties prescribed undei the au? thority of the said laws, but for violation of the Act of Congress "to define and punish certain conspira- .' c?es," approved July 21, 1861.-{Statutes at Large, Volume 12, Chapter XXX1U.) It is the duty of the civil and military authorities 1 in both States to secure to every registered voter the 1 full and free exercise of his right of suffrage, and chis duty must be fully, faithfully and Impartially performed; and the Commanding General con- , ?dently expects that the people of these States will unite in securing for each other the full and proper exercise of this franchise. But if in any district or county, or polling subdivision of either State, the election should be prevented or the ballot-boxes or poll lists should be destroyed, or the electors duly registered under the laws of the United States should be prevented by force or intimidation from voting, a new election will be ordered for such dis? trict, county or polling subdivision. To the end that the laws of the United States may be duly exercised ; that the officers charged with con? ducting tue elections may be protected in the dis? charge of their duties, and that the qualified elec? tors may be protected in the exercise of the elective trinchas", Commanders of Posts are authorized, whenever in their judgment it may be necessary, to appoint, from the officers of the army or of the Freedmen's Bureau, under their command, Military Commissioaers for Districts or Counties within the territorial limits of their commands that are so re? mote from their headquarters that the powers con? ferred upon Post Commanders cannot be immediate? ly or directly exercised. The Military Commissioners so appointed are in? vested with all the powers of Justices of the Peace of districts or counties, or the police magistrates of cities, and will be governed in the execution of their duties by the laws of the State in which they may be serving, except so tar as these laws may be in con? flict with the laws ol the United State s or with the orders issued from the headquarters of this district; and, in addition to any troops that may be placed at their disposal, are given the command of the police force of districts, connUes, cities and towns; and all police officers, sheriffs, constables and other peace officers are required to obey and execute the orders of the Military Commissioners In all such cases. The Military Commissioners will promptly report all cases in which they assume jurisdiction, and the disposition made of each case. When parties are held for trial, either in confinement or under ball the case will be so folly reported as to enable the commanding general to decide whether it shall be tried by a military tribunal, or be brought before a civil court The jurisdiction herein given to the Military Conimissioners will be determined and limited by the authority heretofore delegated to Post Com? manders by General Orders No. 82, of May 30, 1867, and General Orders No. 145, of December 6,1867, and will not be construed as extending to the in? habitants in their ordinary personal relations, un? less the civil authorities should refuse or n?l to sup? press insurrection, disorder and violence, and to give all rightful protection to persons and property; and aB persons, whether in authority or not, are re. quired to obey and execute aU lawful orders of the Military Commissioners to the same extent and in the same manner that they are required by law to obey and execute the writs of the civil magistrates. Some of the complaints that have reached the Com? manding General apply to colored voters of the two States, and to sections where they have the numeri? cal ascendency. To them it is proper to say that the elective franchise conferred upon them by law car* rles with it no authority to restrict others iu the free exercise of that right ; and that while it is their duty not to regard threats or intimidation as to themselves any combinations to prevent by force, intimidation or threats the same free exercise of this right by oth? ers will be unlawful, and will subject the offenders to the penalties prescribed by law and by military orders. They are counselled to exercise the right of voting in a quiet and orderly manner, giving offence to no one; and after casting their votes, not to linger about the polling places, but to return quietly to' their homes and to their customary avocations. Commanding Officers will give as wide a circula t on as possible to this order within the limits of their commands. By Couimand of Bvc, Maj-Gen. ED. R. S. CASK: LOUIS V. CAZIABC, Aidc-de-Camp, Acting Asst. Adjt. Gen!. SACRED CONCEBT.- A rare opportunity of en? joying very excellent music will be afforded to the community next (Easter) week, at St Paul's Church, Coming-street. The building is one of our finest church edifices, and its organ is, perhaps, the finest in the city. Prof. Eckel, the organist of the church, has under? taken, under the sanction of the Bec :or and Vestry, to give a sacred concert in the church on the evening of Monday, the 14th inst., the proceeds of which will be applied ?o the sup? port of the church choir for the ensuing year. The concert will consist entirely of selections of sacred music, taken from the oratorios and other most finished works of the great ta asters. A foll orchestra of wind and string instru? ments, led by Ur. Uetz, will be combined with the organ; the chorus of male and female voices, comprising the best singers, will be very large, and, under the experienced leader? ship of Prof. Deden, will give an effective ren? dering of the magnificent passages of music assigned to them. A chorus of male voices only, led by Prof. Hoffman, and comprising the best talent of the Saengerbund, will also be introduced. The Society of the Saengerbund, established by our genial and music-loving German citizens, is itself a guarantee of the merit of the singers it contributes to this entertainment. A grand orchestral concert, a solo on the organ, several vocal solos, duetts, trios and quartettes, will be announced in the pro? gramme, in addition to the chorus music. Professor Eckel has thrown into all the ar? rangements of the occasion his usual energy and enthusiasm. His accomplishments as a musician are well known here; and being moreover a dear lover of the art, he has taken care to select the music in euch a way as to make it acceptable to the tastes of all; while at the same time full opportunity will be given tr every voice and instrument to appear to the best advantage. He will preside at the organ and direct the whole concert. No pams or labor will be spared by him or those who are so ably assisting him to make this concert really a great musical treat as well as a success for the church choir. UNITED STATES Co ?BT.-Hon. George S. Bryan Presiding.-The court opened at eleven o'clock yesterday morning. Judge Bryan gave notice that the equity docket would bs called this (Tuesday) morn ing, and that all other but equity business would be postponed. The District Attorney, Major D. T.

To the Editors of (he Baily Sews : The good management andprospeiity of our railroads are closely connected with the gen? eral welfare of the communities which they bring together. Upon one of these-the Northeastern Rail? road-my official duties cause me to bo a daily ?traveller, and concerning it I debire to say a few words of commendation : First, its cour? teous and energetic president has deserved aud secured the esteem of those who pass over the road and do business upon it, by his unre? mitting eftorts to promote the interests both of the public and the corporation. Secondly, tho engineer and superintendent, Mr. S. S Solomons, is emphatically the right man in the right place. Thirdly, the employees, the conductors and engineers, are urbane, watch? ful and accommodating; and, finally, the new passenger and mail cars recently placed upon the road are equal to any in the Southern country. The mail cars require some little im? provement in their internal arrangements, bot take them all in all, the change from the old intolerable, man-killing, body-jerking ma? chines in which we used to ride, is as gratify? ing as it is great. As a route of travel northward, I know of no Lice more desirable than the Northeastern Railroad. If the passenger desires a safe transit and close connection, he certainly can secure it here, and I am not sure that the same can be said of any other road oat of the State, lt is for these reasons that I have thought fit to call the attention of the public to the subject in this personal and epistolary manner.
