Let ns have a holiday by all means. * FAST TIKE-The Augusta Constitutionalist of yesterday says : " The Washingtons were .out with their machine last night, about ton .o'clock, practicing Jor the Charleston celebra? tion'. They ran a distance of 460 yards, un? reeled one hundred feet ot hose and threw a stream of one hundred and fifty feet in two minutes and fifteen seconds. Beat this it you can." THE WANT OF WATER_There ia a general scarcity of water in the city; a number of the cisterns have run dry, and the people on all .ides are sorely pressed. There are several of tire public pumps on the streets- that need re? pair, especially the one in Meeting-street, near the Guardhouse. If this evil were remedied, the distress might in a measure be relieved. A good long rain just now would be generally welcomed.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO Bon.-Some tble f entered the residence of Mrs. Courtenay, at the. foot of Broad-street, near Rutledge, and with the aid of a dark lantern went all over the 1 house, taking all the wearing apparel ha oonidt get. When he neared the bed room some OBS? of the family, who was sitting np, heard the noise, when the thief fled, carrying hi? plunder. Two nights ago some one effected an en? trance into the residence of Mr. Roberson, on JBntledg), near Broad-Street, by cutting away tito blinds of the lattice door on the front pi ' ass a. The burglar must have been frightened off, *ts h? did not succeed in getting anything. MKS. O'DONOVAN (Bossa) seems to bavo car riod Augusta by storm. Tho papers speak in the most glowing terms of ?ho excellence of her stylo of reading, and a comraittoo of influ? ential citizens have insisted upon hor giving a second reading in Augusta, which sho has con? sented to do to night. She will consequently not arrive in our city until to-morrow after? noon.- Bernard O'Niell. Esq., and Captain James M. Mulvaney havo boon appointed a committee to receive this unfortunate lady upon hor axTival hero. MOUNT PLEASANT AND SULLIVAN'S ISLAND. On and after to-day, the steamers plying be twoon this city an 1 tho above delightful sum? mer resorts, will leave for Mouut Pleasant at ten A. M. and three aud half-past six F.

PERSONAL.-It is stated that Mr. ?. Odell Duncan, of South Carolina, who has been nom? inated and confirmed as United States Conant to Elsinore, Denmark, will not accept the posi? tion, "believing that bia record and the recom? mendations of Senator Sumter and of leading men in our consular service entitled him to a better position." Auother recruit for the army of the diasatistiod. A Washington letter says : Dr. A. G* Mackey was much talked of for a mission abroad, and at one time the mission to Portu? gal was almost promised to him. But he relax? ed bis efforts, deciding c n the whole that he preferred to remain in South Carolina. He will doubtless retain his present position." E. D. Woodruff, Jr., Esq., one of the dole gates of the Pniladelphia Fire Department, has reached the city and is at the Charleston Hotel. Thomas L. Cuthbert, the Naval Officer at this port, bbs tendered to the Seoretary of the Treasury his lotter of resignation, to take effect on the first proximo. ARRIVAL OF THE VISITING FIREMEN. - To day, at 8 P. M. the members of tho German, Phoe? nix and Washington Fire Companies, will as? semble at their houses for the purpose of forming a common receptiou party to groot, the visiting firemen. The Germana will assemble at their house in Chalmers-street,1 and under the lead of Muller's Brass Band, will proceed to the house of the Phoenix, form company with thom, and thence to the Washington house, where they will be joinod by that com? pany, when all will march to the railroad depot and receive the visitors. On their return, they will leave the different companies with their guests at their respective houses and finally disperse at the German's headquarters. The Stonewall will aLo asse nble at 1 P. M. to receive their guests, the Winyah's, from Georgetown. ? In another column it will .be seen that the weight of the respective engiues together with the number of men allowed to each, is official? ly announoed bj the Chief. THE ARTESIAN WELL,-Something more than truth must lie at the bottom of the Charleston Artesian Well, for if wo may credit the tales of travellers who have visited us during the last four months, its waters are more valuable than the Seltzer,the Vichy, the Congress or any other waters whioh have acquired a national reputa? tion. Tho taste is'slightly saline and alkaline, bett when iced no unpleasant fl ivor can be detected. For bathing purposes, the artesian well water is unequalled, and ifHhe well were only in au out of the way place, instead of in the maur street of Charleston, ii would soon be known and sought after in every corner of the United States, from Alaska to tho Keys of Florida. A careful analysis of the water was made some months ago by Pro? fessor C. U. Shepard. This showed the amount of solid ingredients to be 0.284 nor cent. In 100 parts tbe solid ingredients were : Bicarbo nato of soda 52.71, and chloride of sodium 47.06, the remainder 0.20 being made up of bi? carbonates of lime aud magnesia, silica, ir >n, lime and alumina phosphates, &c. In 100 gal? lons of the water there would be 1} pounds bi? carbonate of soda and ll pounds common salt. It is hoped that an effort will be made to show this well to the publio at its true value. We should make the best of all our advantages. THE ORPHANS' ENTERTAINMENT TO-NIGHT. The entertainment for the benefit of the Ca? tholic Male Orphan Asjlum, under charge of the Sisters bf Mercy, opens to-night at Schachte's Hall, at the corner of King and Vanderhorst streets. Every preparation bas been made to make the Hall an attractive re? sort, and the firemen of oar city and for the visiting companies there will be no pleasanter place at which to spend an evening. An.cmg the prizes there ia a Uno ailver trumpet, which is to be given to the fire company whioh re? ceives the largest cumber of votes. There is a shooting gallery which may be made both amusing and' profitable, and the El Dorado;, table, where :there are all prizes and no blanks. The .fancy tables are prettily arranged and1 well filled, and, last of all, though not least, is the eating saloon, where the visitor may. for a mere song, be re? freshed, and dispel the cares of the day. The ball is said to be admirably adapted to the purpose for whioh it baa been bhoeen, and when filled with thc friends bf th? orphan dni? ren will be as happy a spot as can be found under the sun. The object of tho entertain? ment is a most praiseworthy one. There should be no difficulty in crowding the hall every night; for the orphans have the whole city as their friends, and have never yet called for aid in vain. This time the firemen must again loud them a helping hand. THE LADIES' INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION or CO? LUMBIA.-This Association was organized in November, 1866, for .the purpose of relieving persona who bad been reduced' to poverty by the war. It was desired to give not amis, but employment to this large end suffering class, and during the yefti ending November, 1867, the Association supplied eighty persons weekly with work and paid,out $1200. The Associa? tion has, however, been fighting hard with ad? versity for many months,, so much so, that the board of managers now come before the publio and ask that assistance whioh will enable them to put their society upon a permanent footing, and to extend the sphere of its usefulness. For this purpose a eoir-se will bo wold br Co? lumbia on Wednesday and Thursday next, the patronage of the delegates to the Agri? cultural Convention and of all strangers being earnestly solicited. To all who may be in ' tho Capital of the State at the lime this will bo invitation enough; bot there are hundreds of others who will not be there, and who can contribute something to the necessities of the society. Upon the extent of tho donations must depend the measure of relier thab can be extended to those who are in ?tnt: > iitnil urn ttuiMl tA ?JJ JS?S*f-Ciii?S5S throughout the State to ?how by their contri? butions that they do not forget the sacred duty of relieving, aa far as we may, the need of the widows and orphan? of those who died for cor sake. Thc following ar? th? lady managers in Columbia to whom donations, may be sent: Mrs. B. E. Levy, Mis? Kate Hampton, Mrs. J. B. Adger, Mrs. A, M. Qoignard, Mrs. Martha Stark, Mrs. William Wallace, Mrs, William Reynolds, Mrs. Dr. Fair. Mrs. J. A: Kay. REFORTERS' CRUMBS.-The resignation of C. C. Neil, surveyor, takes effoot on tho 30th instant. ? plink road ?B being laid iu Laurens-sfcroefc. Tho nine companies that were to visit us have dwindled down to four; two from Augus? ta, ono from Georgetown, and oue from Colum? bia. It is generally fearod that there will bo an accidont of Bonie kind ou Tuesday. Caro should bo usod to provont any mishap. The rivalry b3twoou two companios of the department is intonso as to which shall boar away the palm of having tho greatest number ot' men in lino. A white woman, in a etat? of intoxication, let a very youno, baby fall from bor arms into the water, near tho Hampstoad Mall Hospital, on Friday, and but for tho exertions of an eye? witness the infant would have been drowued. An enterprising young min is going to con? vert Denny & Perry's old store into a tempo? rary ice cream saloou for tho 27th. THE AUGUSTA COYS. -The Augusta ChroDi clo and Sentinel, of Saturday, speaking of our approaching firemen's parade, says: "Tue fol? lowing companios will attend from Augusta: Tho 'Georgia' Fire Company Cst earner,) an.I I and tho 'Washington' Fire Company, No. 1, (hand engine.) On yesterday a letter was re? ceived from Charleston by tho 'Georgia' ask? ing tho members of that company to send down their steamer on Sunday, so that the la? dies of Charleston would have all day Monday to dress it with flowers. In aocordanoe v Ith this request the steam3r will leave for Charlea-' ton on to-morrow morning in charge of a com? mittee of the company, consisting of J. M. Mc? Laughlin and Thomas W. Henry, Lieutenants; Jahn F. Keon, Engineer, and Jordan Bot? toms. Tho remaining membsrs of tho 'Geor? gia' and the members of the 'Washington' will leavo this city on Monday morning. The former will be the guest ol' tho 'Pheonix' Fire Company in Charleston and the latter of tho .German.' These two companies will bo join? ed afc Branchville by tho 'Palmetto' of Colum? bia, which will be the guest of tho Charleston company of the same name." ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM FIRE ENGINE "GEOR? GIA.-The steam Are eugine Georgia arrived yesterday afternoon, by the South Carolina Railroad, from Augusta, under the charge of a delegation consisting of Messrs. Jamos Mc? Laughlin, chairman; J. F. Kean, engineer, and J. B. Bottom, J. J. Cohen, H. M. Levy, F. B. McCoy, iW. Finch, S. Saling; and Tom Hall, colored watingman. As soon as the platform oar containing tho steamer approaohed the Line-street depot, "three hearty cheers for the Georgia boys" filled the air. The delegation from the Pheonix, the hosts of the visiting company, soon mounted tho car and exchang? ed friendly greetings. In a few moments the oar moved ou to Ann-street, where tho Georgia was lowered ou skids, and soon after her ropes were manned by-the-Pheonix delegation, the Georgia delegation rotinng to tho sidewalk, and the engine was drawn down Ann to Meot ing-stroofc, thence to the houso of the Phoenix in Cumberland-stfoot, where the hosts served up a "punch on the" hoae," and the dusty and travel-worn visitors were duly refreshed. The Georgia waa fully described in THE NEWS when she passed through the city some time ago. The. Georgia does not bring her reel, in consequence of it having sustained an injury hi Augusta. When the rest of the company arrive this afternoon they will make up a com? plement of forty members, and will be received by the Pheonix boys with becoming spirit, j A DISGRACEFUL AFFRAY took place on Satur? day afternoon in a boase of ill-repute in Mar? ket-street, adjoining Charlotte Range. Three officers of the United States army, whose names the police authorities yesterday professed themselves unable to give, were in the house and under the influence of liquor, when an al? tercation took place between them and Mr. George. Chapman. A pistol waa drawn by one of the army officers and fired twice, one of the shots wounding a lieutenant (name unknown) in tho fleshy part of the arm. It is supposed - that the pistol was fired at Chapman, who ebon afterwards had made^himself master of the situation. Tho row was growing still more serious, and Fanny Cochran, one of the inmates of the house, had beeu struck in the face and badly bruised, wheo two policemen came np, and by their coolness and determination quell? ed the disturb ance and carried the three offi? cers, Chapman and the woman to the Guard? house. The affair or ea ted the greatest excitement on King, jileo ting and Market-streets, arid a large crowd gathered around the house during the fight, and afterwards followed the arrested parties to tho Guardhouse, On their arrival at the latter point the offence of the officers was further aggravated by a wanton assault on one of the policemen on duty at the door. ' For some reason as yet unexplained, the three officers wore permitted to depart, and the other parties, who, if anything, seem to have been leas in fault, Were retained in cus? tody. The affair, we presume, will, receive farther investigation. HOTEL ARRIVALS, APRIL 24 AKD 25-Charles? ton Hotel.-Vf. M, Gregg, South Carolina j C. P. Harging,J. Shannon, T. A. McLollan, Bath, Me.; D.
