EACH WEEK. ACCORDING TO THE PROVIS?
IONS OF THE NEW POsTOFFICE LAW.
LOCAL MATTERS.
SECOND PRESBCTERIAN CHURCH.-In conse?
quence of the absence of thc Pastor there will
be no service in thc] Second Presbyterian
Church to-morrow.
THE BA>-K OF THE STATE.-Thc case of the
Bank of tue State, which was to have come up
tbefore Justice Willard yesterday, was postpon?
ed to Tuesday next on account of the absence
-of the Attorney-General.
AN EAST BA? REMOVAL.-Messrs. Luhrs &
.Stelling, wholesale grcccrs, have recently re?
moved from thc corner of East Bay and Mar?
ket streets, into tho new building two doors
north of the NEWS office.
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE H?GE.-It will bo seen
.by otu- telegrams that the hegira of Judge
H?ge from Newberry extended to Washington
City, where he received but cold comfort from
tthe authorities._
THE MURDERESS OF T.WE NANCE.-Governor
'Scott has issued a proclamation offering a re?
ward of twenty-five hundred dollars each for
; the arrest of Samuel Murtishaw and William
Fitzgerald, who are ch :rged with the murder
.of Lee Nance._
THEFT OF A MAIL BAG.-The Columbia mail
.bag was taken from the railroad depot at Cam
- den, on Tuesday last, by some persons nn
. known, and has oot yet been found. The bag
" Was known to have contained several remit?
tances, bat probably not in large amounts.
IMPROVEMENT IN REAL ESTATE.-Messrs.
Clifford & Ha the wea sold yesterday, at private
sile, lot and residence corner of Broad and
New streets, for $G0OO cash. The above is a
good price, and shows a better inquiry for real
..estate investments.
AN ICEBERG.-The report current on the
.streets last evening that a huge iceberg had
been seen off Charleston bar, was justided by
the sudden fall in the temperature of the at?
mosphere, but as far as wo could learn it had
.no other foundation. All the thermometers by
general consent went down below sixty de?
grees, but tho points below that varied indefi?
nitely. Overcoats and fires vere comfortable,
-though not in general use, and tbe probability
.last night was thal we would have frost this
morning._
THE HANOVER-STREET FIRE.-M. H. Nathan,
Esq., Chief of the Fire Department, made yes?
terday a thorough examination of- the circum?
stances attending the recent attempt to set
; fire in Hanover-street. There was no insnr
ance on the building, and Francis and Honora
.Sweeney, the owners of the building on which
the attempt was made, and who were montion
. ed in connection with it in Thursday's NEWS,
were entirely exonerated from the charge of |
-complicity in the affair. Mr. and Mrs. Swee?
ney have been vouched for to us as persons of
.good character, and it is to be regretted that
? any such mention should have been made ot
-?heir names._
BURNING OF THE CAMDEN JOURNAL.-Our spe?
cial correspondent iu Camden sends the fol?
lowing account of the burning of the Camden
-Journal : "The fire occurred between ll and 12
.o'clock on Monday night, and the building
-with its contents was bumed to the ground.
.Nothing waa Baved of books, pxpss, type or
paper. There were two large and one job
.press. The type was recently purchased.
.Nearly the whole or the interior was in flame,
.before the fire was discovered. No insurance.
Tho loss falls hcavil ; on the Messrs. Pegues,
the owners, and has deprived the citizens of a
medium essential to them in making known
.their wants. The Journal had quite a favora?
ble circulation, having increased largely since
.coming into the hands of the Messrs. Pegnes;
but all this is by 'one fell swoop* lost to them,
and that by the hand of tho vile incendiary.
.Such, at least, is the universal opinion, and
grounded on the fact that there had been no
.?fire in the offioa for weeks. If the opinion is
well founded, it may be but the first gan-we
.hope it may be the last."
THE FOLLOWING PERSONS desiring to become
. citizens, will appear at City Hill thia morning,
(Saturday,) at ten o'clock A H., precisely,

A FAIRY REALM.-If "a thing of beauty is a
.joy forever," then every visitor to the bazaar
?of Santa Claus, anglice Ton Santcu, must bo in
4t state of completo happiness, for he has
everything to please the eye, the taste and tho
-intellect. The spacious storo he now occupi.s
has been refitted and refurnished. The front
is both showy and attractive, as the large win?
dows are filled with a hoterogenous collection
of toys, fancy goods, toilet articled, <?c, the
whole bemg so arranged as to produce perfect
narmony? The shelves aud BIIOW cases in tho
vinterior are filled with an endless variety of ar?
ticles of bijo tttrie, fancy ornaments, games,
tijB, confectionery, &c. Many of the toys aro
made on scientific principles that will furnish
.amusement tor the older and wiser heads.
Tho planchette, which records thc thoughts
and is deemed by tho superstitious to be con?
nected with the evil one, is perhaps the most
interesting of all games, and is the most
popular amusement iu vogue At the North.
Mr. Von Santen has, in addition, a large as?
sortment of fireworks, which can be purchased
in lots to suit the country trade. By far tho
most useful article in bis establishment is thc
parlor gymnasium. This must bc seen to bs
appreciated, and all who vain;? a physical edu
. cation will at once procure one. Their ex?
treme simplicity commends them to every one,
and they have received the highest encomiums
of the physicians.
This realm of Fairie must, however, be seen
to be appreciated, and we advise all who wish
to spend au hour profitably, and to get rid of
both their ennui and greenbacks, not to delay
. a visit to Santa Claus' Bazaar.
REGISTER AT ONCE, AND IN THE PRECIS*
WHICH TOD" NOW RESIDE.-Now or never, se
your right to vote at thc election, which .viii
placo ou the third proximo. Registratioi
gins to-clay, und inly three days arc allo
Nine thousand persons must register I
names aires!), or make an examination tc
if they aro already correctly registered,
must bo doue in three days, and there are 1
toen places of registration, making an ave
of over two hundred persons daily at i
place of registration. Asain, we repeat, rc
ter at once, and be sure thal your narr
registered at the poling pltce of thc pr?t
in ichich you reside.
SHIPMENT OF Aims SOUTHWARD.-The :
York Sun makes the following statement, ir!
may be correct, but, if eo, points to a very
ferent inference from that formed by the S
"Several individuals are now in iNew York
gaged in purchasing and shipping anus to
Southern States. One of them is from Te
another from Georgia, two are from Sc
Carolina, and two or three others are from.
bama, Louisiana and Tennessee. The arti
they are purchasing are mainly revolvers
repeating or breech-loading rifles; all tba ni
ela of muzzle-hading weapons arc discarc
and the purchasers are understood to pn
j short barrels to long ones. Two thousand
volvers were sent South iu one consign.n
three weeks ago, and shipments of two, th
and five bundled revolvers aro unplcasai
frequent. The Charleston steamer last w
took a dozen cases of hardware, which was
ally a lot of breech-loading rifles destined
private parties in that city. One dealer inti
arms admits that he has more order.- than
can fill for the present, but professes not
know where the weapons he sells are going.
THE THEATRE-ROMEO AND JULIET.--!
benefit of Mr. John Templeton k>st night w
well attendad, and the ladies formed a vc
flattering portion of tho audience. The pl
of Romeo and Juliet has always beon a lai
rite in this city, and the Charleston pub
have been fortunate in opportunities ofseei:
it performed by some of tho most c?l?br?t
cctorB and actresses on the American etap
The Templeton troupe last night exceeded t
expectations of even their warmest admire
by their rendition of this trying and diffici
drama. John Templeton eppeared as Rome
but Mis Alice Vane as Juliet waa, of course, tl
chief object of attention and of criticism, ai
sha passed through the ordeal uuscatho
She was thoroughly acquainted with her pat
and, like atme acticsa as she is, she scorn?
to forget her own individuality in her pertci
impersonation of the character of her.iolc.
The minstrels were, as usual, highly appr
ciated and badly applauded by tbs lovers
fun. Their principal attractions, however, fi
beyond all their jokes and masquerade, wei
undoubtedly the graceful figure androguis
smile of Isabel Vane.
The performance would have been botter ci
joyed on the part of the respectable portion i
the audience, if the boys in tho pit had bec
made to behave themselves and not allowed I
stamp and yell at the most unseasonable time
Douglass Jerrold's popular comedy of lilac
Susan, and the new minstrels, form tho pn
gramme for to-night. _
MUNICIPAL GOSSIP.-On dit that the Ridic;
cohorts, hitherto divided, aro gathoring i
united force for one grand charge upon th
city government. Until a recent date, Bowe
and Jenks were in the field for Congress, an
there was a bare possibility that the Democn
tic Domin?e might run in between the two an
carry off the bono of contention. Bowen's part
felt a grudge against Jenks for opposing ihoi
leader, and they were taking their spite out c
him by supporting a candidate for the Mnyoi
alty iu opposition to hit' patron, Pillsbury
Here, again, was a ghost's chance for the Dcm
ocratB. But it is said now that Jenks with
draws his opposition to Bowen, and Bowel
withdraws his opposition to Pillsbury, am
Pillsbury, to compensate Jenks for bis c'.cvo
tion, promises to aruko him City Treasurer
This makes Pillsbury so cock-suro of hi? elec
tion that, in the plenitude of his power and tin
fullness of his heart, he promises thc office o
Chief of Police to three different iudiriduals
each of whom has tho satisfaction of knowini
that he has made the same promise to thi
two others. Hoyt, the wagon-master of Kinj
Sickles, is ODe of those happy individuals wh<
bas b.en favored with ono ticket iu three foi
the office of Chief of Pohcc.
It is also said that Sanator Sawyer, whose
great abilities are not entirely engrossed with
the national Senate and revenue, has contle
scended to dip his huger in ibo little municipa
pie. Having a friend eifheted with a longing
desire for the big plum which Pillsbury
imagines that be already feels under hie
thumb, the honorable aenitor proposod to thc
black man's candidate that, if he would with?
draw from the contest iur the Mayoralty ic
favor of that longing friend, ho would use hie
mfluenco iu obtaining for bim the United
States R-.-vonuo Collectorship. But Pillsbury
was too old a bird to bo caught with chaff. He
knew that the collectorship did not belong to
Mr. Sawyer, but affecting that ho did, ho ex
claimei, in grandiloquent style : "Sir, I would
rather be Mayor of Charleston than Prosident
of the United States!" Such was the town
talk yesterday.
THE COU.NTT COMMISSIONERS.-The writs of
quo warranto sued out by D. H. Chamberlain,
Attorney General, in behalf of tho County
Commissioners against the Commissioners of
Main Roads aud the Commissioners nf Public
buildings, were heard yesterday before Justice
Williird. Messrs. Pressley, Lord and Inglesby,
appeared for ihe Commissioners of Public
buildings, and put in an answer to thc effect
that no domand had been made upon them
since the passage of the act establishing thc
office of County Commissioners, and that al?
though a demand had been made after the
election and before tho passage of thc act,
they were advised that the parties making thc
demand had no right to tho office. They ex?
pressed themselves ready to abide tho decision
of the court, and to surrender the office to tho
claimants if thc court decided that the claim?
ants were entitled thereto.
C. Richardson Milos, Esq , appeared for the
Commissioners of Main Roads, aud filed an an
Bwer setting forth that Commissioners of Roads
existed in this State from colonial time3, the
first general act regulating the subject being
passed in 1721. Tho law o en the- subject were
from time to time renewed and varied, until
1843, when thc Commissioners of Main Roads
for Charleston Neck were expressly excepted
from thc Road act ot that year, and no general
laws relating to Commissioners of Roads havo
ever since held to apply to the Commissioners
of Main Roads for Charleston Neck. The latter
are elected by the City Council of Charleston,
and in the aiopo of their powers and duties, as
well as in the runner of their election, diff.-r
widely from every other j'oard ol' Road Com?
missioners in the Slate. That they ar : not in?
cluded in the act establishing County Commis?
sioners, Dor in the section of tho constitution
relating to tho same subject, and that, there?
fore, tho Board still has a valid existence under
the laws of tbe State, and (ho Commissioners
are :-.uuud to execute the trust reposed in them
for tho public good. In addition to this they
mike tho same points as the Commissioners cf
Public Buildings thai, they had never rerused
to surrender sinco thc passage of thc County
Commissioner act, and express themselves
willing to abide the decision of tho court.
Judgment in both cases was reserved.

JJUSllSriCSS NOTICES.
STEAM ROASTED COFFEE.-Consumers will do
well to note the following advantages :
1st. By this process coffee loses less in weight than
by thc old tin nan arrangement or Rotary roasting
humbug-our process losing aboat oivjOtceu per
cent, the other from twonty-five to thirty.
2d. In roasting by steam all thc in; purities and
bitterness of coffee are entirely got ten rid of.
3d. By this process all tho aroma is retained, which
accounts for the increased weight of steam roasted
coffee, when by thc old one a great deal of it was
lost. Fer instance, a housekeeper roasts a pound
or more of coffee, as soon as the borry b3gins lo
brown tho aroma c?caping on all sides, inform? tho
neighborhood of what is geing on, and seldom
docs Ehe reillze moro than three-fourths of her
investment. By our process the neighborhood i8
not beneiltted, but thc comfort? of your brcaklaat
table are increased; ?nd poor cook, if you will buy
your coffee ready roasted aud ground from us, will
be saved from many a scolding.
Several years ago, when this system was Cr?! In?
troduced, uU sa J it would not do for so small a
placeas Charleston. But the best evidence that it
did succeed was the imruen-e quantities ol coffee
handled m this factory, and also thc total disup
pearanco cf all thc packaitoi of gilt-wrapped trash
which, under the namo of coff.c, flooded this city.
Before tho war nearly all ol' tho best families were
our patrons, and daring tho wa-, when the pure
berry could not Vc obtained, onr ol'I null su.-iaiucd
its reputation; for we were oLen assured, when we
informed our customer- that wc had boen compelled
to substitute corn ior coffee, that they cou'd not be?
