THE CONCERT FOE THE WIDOW'S HOKE.-We understand that the concert for the Widow's Home "will certainly take place on Tuesday next, and hope to be able to publish the pro - . gramme on Monday. Many expressions of in? terest upon the subject havo been heard, au d | the Widow's Home is so popular and deserv ? ing an institution, that few win refuse to sop port the concert given in its behalt. The Home IB sadly in need of money, and a concert appeared to be the best means of supplying, its wants. CHOICE WINES, BITTERS AND BB ANDY.-"To take a Utile wine for the stomach's sake" ts a precept that is weil followed, hst f ow persons like to drink the poisonous concoctions that are palmed off on the public Our neighbor. Mr. * John B. Togni, has imported from Italy direct | several varieties of choice wines -and liquors, - all of which are warranted tho pure juice of j, the grape,, and will tickle the palate of the most fastidious win? bibber.

Mr. F. M. Jones, jti>e"famed ship builder of Charleston, has earned'.a reputation second to none for the sp?Jd and-eea-going capacities of his naval' prr?uc?poa", and there ia upon the Jrttocks, . ui yard a t the- .foot of- CaJhoun street, a large yacht, which is .being built for Mr. F. J/Poroher. ? jhs. decks are now: being laid, and - the yacht will aoon be .ready for launching. It will bo '-schooner-rigged, and have more cabin acoobimodation than is asnal on such crail. The dimensions are forty-eight feet over all, thirty-eight- feet six inches keel, i and fourteen feet beam.. She will be fourteen * or fifteen tons burthen, and draw six feet of \ water. - ' .-r--- ' . SATANNAH.-Our sister city is stretching out ito -arms, and seems determined not tb stop short of toe Mississippi. The Central-Bail road already has control to Columbus, Ga., and if this company has bought up thc West Point Railroad, ii has the control of the only tine by which cotton is brought from Mont? gomery to Angosta and Charleston. Has Sa? vannah any natural advantages over Charles? ton ? If not^whai ia the matter with oar peo? ple? The Montgomery Advertiser says : On Tuesday the stockholders' meeting of the Montgomery and West Point Railroad WMS held at the office in this city. A burge amount of stock was represented, especially that bold by the Central Railroad and Banking Company, of 11 Savannah, Ga. That company has leased the j \ Muscugoe Railroad for ninoty-nino years, and now owns, as we learn, the Controlling portion . . of the Montgomery and West Point Baflroad. i They propose and have agreed, we understand i to build the road from Montgomery to Selma in lees than two years, in order to have one grand fine, from the Mississippi River to the c Atlantic coast. ' 3 An election was held for directors of the j ^Montgomery and West Point Railroad, and the 'old Board re-elected, with Colonel Pollard as 1 president. T?e 1acht Knee. P&EPABATTONS FOB THE BA OB-THE STEAMERS AMD THE PEOPLE-EXPECTED, A BIO GBO WD -BOLES . OF THE RACE-THE STOMAL AMD THE START-nne YACHTS-THETB DIMENSIONS THE STAKES AMD THE BETTING. If it be auspici?os, to-day will witness an event long to be remembered. Not for many months has so muoh interest prevailed in this community as that which bas been manifested in the yacht races, which will take place be? tween the hours of one and five P. M. The stake itself is large enough to enlist the foel 'inga of those directly interested, while the mere "fun of the thing" has served to stir up i Irvelv competition, real and imaginary; among j outside parties. The probability, therefore, is that a very considerable amount of money will change hands in the shape of wagers won and lost, and that thousands will turn out to wit? ness the aquatic performances. We hoar that several steamers and many sailing vessels have been chartered by private parties, and that every 1 biog which floats in the harbor pf j Charleston will be visible to the naked ey et ; day, even though thorweather should compel tho craft to strip to their bare poles. The Emilie, it is understood, will carry out tho poet baud and a select party of ladies and gentle? men. The Fannie has boen impressed for a similar purpose, and the Planter, Christiana, Belief and other boats will play their part in the processional programme. The utmost activity pref ails among the yachtsmen engaged.'. All day yesterday they were busy in sen ding on new .sails, and in every possible way increasing the sailing quali? ties of their respectiva craft. Most of the boats have been hauled up, had their bottoms cleaned and new spars substituted for the old. Several were tried yesterday afternoon, and, considering the breeze which prevailed, they did some very pretty experimental sailing. THE BULES. The rules which have been adopted for the regulation of the race are as follows, [and we j suggest, as a matter of interest, that those of | our readers who expect to witness the affair shall cut them out for ose to-day.] . THE FIRST BACK, will be between the Eleanor and Ella Anna for one thonsend doll ar s, or five hundred dollars a strie. The boats will start from Southern wharf at 1 P. IL, aol the course will be by Cmnmings* Point buov, around the Weebawken lightship, around the White Point buoy, around the Ramley's Point buoy, and back to the winning buoy moored off Southern wharf. There will be no allowance of time io this race, but if not won in four hours, it is no race. To add to the sport and make the win? ning of ooe parse certain, there has been ar? ranged THE SECOND BACK, For what may, be called the combination stakes. At the same time that the "Eleanor" and i "Ella Anna" start, the "Maggie Mitchell" and ..Unknown" will also sail. The four yachts will run th? same course, and this noe will bo for two hundred dollars, or fifty dollars a side. All the rules of the main race will apply, with the exceptions that the "Eleanor" and "Ella Anna" will allow the "Maggie Mitchell" and "Unknown" ten and a half minutes time each, and that thero is no limit of time within which the race must be made. The effect of this race within ? race will be that if ono of the smaller yachts come in ural-taking into ac? count her allowance of time-she will win two hundred dollars, while if one of the larger yachts should come in first she will win the purse of one thousand dollars for the main race and the purse of two hundred dollars for the combination race. One purse must be won, for if the yachts should be becalmed se that the main race cannot be completed within four boors, there will still remain the combination race, in regard to which there is no limit as to time. THE START. It having been determined after consultation tbat 'the fvreat manner in which a start can be made is from the open stream, rather than from the wharf, buoys Were located yesterday off Southern wharf, to which the respective craft/ will be attached. The choice of position was decided by lot, and ia as follows: The right or southern buoy, Maggie. Mitchell; left or n or thern, buoy, Ella. Anns ; left centre buoy, Eleanor; right centre buoy, Unknown. The buoys are forty feet apart. THE STOMAL. I At five minutes to one o'clock a warning gun will be fired from the revenas cotter, and at one o'clock precisely the starting gun will be Seed. At the fire of this gun the yachts will ?lip their cables and be off: IHK YACHTS. The Eleanor was baili by Jones, of Charles? ton, in 1867, and ran against the Maggie Mitch all for a purse of $1000 in the fall of that year, tee race was drawn, as the proper allowance it time to be made the .Maggie Mitchell could act be determined. 'With the res t of the yachts n the race she is sloop-rigged. t?be bas been' iborougbly overhauled, and every rope is in jrder. The Eleanor will be sailed by Captain [bbs. Yoong; assisted by Captain Sam. Bell, me of oar Charleston pilots. The Ella Anna was built by Messrs. J. G. A 9. C. Marah, of Charleston, and. was only AOnohed a few weeks ago. Thia ie her first Tial or speed in a race, and the owners will do heir best to make ber the winner. She has KOO coppered within the ? last day or two, and s in first-rate order. The Ella Anna will be sailed by Captain Ed vard Morse. ^ .> .- ? The Maggie Mitchell was built, in Connec? tent, and bas had.the reputation of bein g in a ignt wmd the fastest craft in our waters. Her running poweis are well establish' ' and with in allowance of ten-and-a-half min, JS will be rery difficult to beat. The Maggie Mitchell will be sailed by Cap ;ain Thomas Daniels. I The Unknown was built by Jones, ot Cbarles on, and waa launched at about the same time is the Ella Anna. She is very quirk and handy; ind bas been rigged anew for tho important oc? casion. '. The Unknown will bo sailed by Captain Hugh SrYinoenr. , .. DIMENSIONS. Tho tonnage and dimensions of . the four principal yachts are as follows : ; po rr. rs Seauor.

The following gentlemen are the judges, ?ch representing one yacht, and sailing in .nother : For Ena Anna-W. A. Courtenay-sails in Sfeanor. For Eleanor-Captain John Sly-sails in ??ila Anna. For Maggie Mitchell-B. S. Bruns- sails in Jnknowu. For Unknown-Dr. W. H. Tarrant-sails in 1 aggie Mitchell. The Hon. P. C. Gaillard is the umpire. THE OTHER RACES. The "Charleston" anti the "What's It," two oiniature yachts, or moro properly pleasure .oats, belonging to the Charleston squadron, rill engage in this race. These boats are what s nautically termed "catrigged." The mast is K ar the bow, and they have bnt one sail, wbioh s, however, sufficient to enshroud the little raft, aa the boom projects considerably beT end the rudder. They are entirely unlike the rim and narrow yachts that contest the first ace, as their dimensions are nearly round. In ddition to the large sail mentioned above, a jib bas been rigged from the maa t to the email bowsprit, and though apparently clumsy bo ate, they are reputed safe and fast sailers. This race is for stakes privately agreed OD by the own I era, and the cowpe will be from Southern wharf, around Fort Ripley, thence around the buoy at Bentley's Point at the month of the Wando River, and thence to the winning point off Southern wharf. The Charleston allows the What's It four minutes' time, and the yachts w?l be started thirty minutes after the start? ing of the Ella Anna, Eleanor, Maggie Mitchell and Unknown. Altogether, it wiH be a jolly time. If the wea? ther ia pleasant, Charleston will tarn out en masse, and from its various points of observa? tion enjoy the spectacle, while another multi? tude will trust themselves to the wings of tbe wind and ceoompany the race. THE STAKES Aim BETTIHG. . The stakes, amounting in all to twelve hun? dred dollars, were deposited yesterday with the stakeholder, Captain F. W. Dawson, of THE I ?AILY NEWS. The betting is light and about even. Most persons are waiting to take a look at the weath? er before they risk their money, but some ac? tivity is expected early this morning. THE SHIP MONTGOMERY.-This Vessel is still off this port, and has been placed in charge of Captain John Ferguson, who has made prepa? rations and is going earnestly to work to se? cure the ship and cargo. The timber on deck has been placed overboard anda portion of : brought to the city, and a steam pump wiU be got to work as early as possible. The ship i entirely freighted with timber, and w?l conse? quently not be quito as valuable as if ber cargo waa cotton. The condition of the vessel can? not be ascertained until she is lightened, when it will be seen whether she will be worth re? pairing. We hope she may place a balance on the right side to repay the officers and owners of the steamer Charleston for the good work they have performed in towing ber to this place._ THE DROWSING CASUALTY-ONE OF THE BODIES B EGOVKRED.-Yesterday one of the negro fishermen in the harbor discovered the body of a white man on the marsh near Castle Pinck ney, in Hog leland Channel. He immediately returned to the city, bringing the body, which was identified as that of Frank Garner, the white man drowned with Mr.. Boddin. The fea? tures were so disfigured by crabs that it was impossible to recognize them, and the body was only identified by a note of hand of B. Boddin to Garner, which was found in the pocket. The body was taken to the deadbonse of the Masyck-Btreet Hospital last night, and a post mortem examination will be held at the inquest to-day by Dra. F. Fevre Porcher and Lewis M. Ayer. Mr. Pickett, the partner of Mr. Boddin, of? fers a reward of $100 for the recovery of the body. It is proper to mention that tho negroes wbo were with Mr. Boddin when the boat cap? sized employed themselves yesterday in search? ing for the bodies. UNITED STATES COURT, FRIDAY, JOKE 19. HON. GEO. 8. BRYAN, PRESIDING.-The ap? pointment of J. N. Martin, assignee for C. F. Waters, of Greenville, and J. B. LeaveU for J. Taykv Zeaiy, was confirmed. . The petitions of D. V. Scurry to establish a lien ia the matter of J. C. 8. Brown, a bank? rupt; and of W. F. Nance to establish a lien in; the matter of J.C. 8. Brown. The reports of | Henry Bummer were read and confirmed in each case. .The rights of citizenship were granted to. | James. Colclough. Tho caeo of W. V. Ljiteh and C. C. Moil, claiming a portion afl^Keiture under tho revenue laws, was ^9 bpd the Di strict : Attornay argued forOTSrlTOnce. The Judge ruled that Mr. Leitch had a foll understand- ; ing of his position when he entered on the , duties of his office, and admitted the same through counsel in regard to; the fees. He dre ff a deduction between ?dary and emolument, and decided that the petition be dismissed and tho money paid to the collector, to be distributed according to law. By this ruling the collector obtains not only the amount due Mr. Leitch tn the matter of the Aid, bat ii also entitled to tho survey? or's fees, while Mr. Leitch held that position; as not having taken tbe "iron-c'ad," he; was not considered an officer of the United States Li o ve nun en t. NUMISMATICS.-It is not, perhaps, generally known that we have in Charleston a veteran ? hector, .who is indefatigable in his search for rare and curious coins. With bim itis a labor )f love, and the arrival of a new specimen to be i dd ed to the three thousand already arranged n bis cabinet is a source of extreme satisfac? tion. The day before yesterday this g ?o tlernan received a five dollar gold piece of the Mor? mons. Thia piece bears the inscription "Holi? ness to the Lord" on the one side, and G. S. L. Cl. P. G., i.e. Great Salk Lake City Pure Gold, Mithe-other. It is a rare specimen and of con? siderable valu?. But the coinage of tbe Aman? san poh'gamists, or even one of the dollars is? sued by the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian, ls not as interesting aa the worn, hammered, half-obliterated . piece of money current eighteen centuries ago. In tbe cabinet of our' townsman is a drachma of Antioch, a bust of Nero on one side and the Beman Eagle on the the other, date 37 A. D. ; a drachma of Anti ochess VIII, date 120 B. C.; a tetra-draohma of Alexander the Great, on one side Hercules with ?be lion skin, and on the other Jupiter; a Saxon sty cw, N. D. 800 to 900; a penny of Ed? ward the Confessor, N. D. 1042; a groat of Da rid U, of Scotland, N. D. 1829; a shilling of Edward Tl, of England, N. D. 1550; a corna iioQ medal of Charles II, N. D. 1660-this medal is as sharply and clearly cfit as though ii were the work of an expert modern engraver md is a beautiful specimen; Common weal th dulling with the inscription "In God we rrnst,nN. D. 165S; a coin of Florence of the ; wei th century, with tho head of St. John the Baptist on one side and the arms of Florence )n the other. These are but a few of (he loaint and remarkable gems of coinage in the Election, which is the finest, in all probabili? ty, in the Southern States. BUSINESS NOTICES. H. II.
