ANOTHER SCHUETZENFEST.-At the anniver? sary meeting of the Gesellschaft, ou Friday night last, it was determined to have another .one day shooting fest at the Platz, on the 80th instant, for the purpose of disposing of the twenty prizes left ovor from the last festival. Arrangements are on foot to make the occa? sion, though brief, similar in spirit and enjoy? ment to the ever-memorable three days' carni? val of fan and frolic in May last. An election for officers of the club waa en? tered into, and all the officers were re-elected, with the ?dditicn of Captain Theodore Speng? ler, ex-president of the Washington Scbuetzea -Corps, os Sehnet2an Master. BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT.-It is with satis? faction that we notioe any change in the South which gives assurance of advancement among our grocery merchants. Few have been bet? ter known for the last twenty-live yoaiM than Bernard O'Neill, Esq. This gentleman has late? ly enlarged and improved bis establishment on East Bay, toking tinder one roof the entire length of bis lot, from the Bay to State-street, being about three hundred feet in length, and with an opening on two streets, and a large ?nd extensive interior, presenting admirable accommodations for tho transaction of his heavy and extending business. We are pleased to see this evidence of the result of good man? agement and long continued fair dealing. OUR FISH SUPPLY.-Wo hear that a circular has been issued by Governor Scott, and sent to prominent and intelligent citizens through ?ut the State, with a view of eliciting from them full particulars touching the past and present condition of the fisheries of the State. By the issuing of snoh a circular it is expected that a great moss of valuable information will be collected touching this important subject, i'.acti neighborhood is requested to make A re* port, and, when responses shall have been re? ceived from all quarters of the St tte, tho at? tention of the Legislature will be inspired in euch a manner as to direct measures ea'cil? iated to arrest the decline and possible anni? hilation of the fish supply. Likewise, a plan for the artificial restocking of tho streams and Firers of the State will be urged. THB ?HAJM?MTOir OMMA JHTOOTjK J HOW lt cnn be Unlit and ?penod by next KoTtnlter. Wa ore informed that the proprietor of the "Adger Building" have agree! to give Up, lor the purpose of building an opera house, nearly two-thirds of the area of that immense build? ing, inoluding an entrance of fifteen feet on King-street. The valne of the portion pf the building to be devoted to thia object, for rent ing purposes, is estimated at (20,000. In addi? tion to whioh, he is willing to expend th? sum of $20,000 cash, making $40,090. The coat of thc proposed opera house will be $80 000, the value of that portion of the building to be taken for this object is $20,010, making $50,000, of whioh amount the projector is willing to as? sume "$40,000, as above, provided that the citi? zens, merchants and business men contribute the halanco, viz: $10,000, to be paid on the completion of the opera house, say about 1st of November next. We earnestly hope that this amount may be raised, as the citizens of Charleston may never have again so good an opportunity of building a theatre at so small a cost to themselves. The plan of tho opera house will combine the best features of Wallack's Theatre on Broadway, and of the Fifth Avenue Opera House, New York; following mainly the plan of tho latter, whioh is the gem of all tho small theatres in this country. Our opera house will contain orchestra chairs, parquette, balcony seats, dress oirole, family cirole and gallery, with a handsome proscenium and four proseo nium boxes. The ceiling and walls will be handsomely frosooed aud deoorated. There will be an elegant drop curtain and stock scenery, Ac., &c, making it altogether, by far, tho most attractive little theatre in the whole South. Its capacity will be from ten to twelve hundred seats. Charleston possessing an opera house of this description, would attract the best trouped in the country, to give short seasons of Italian Op:ra, German Opera, Opera Bouffe, English burlesque, spectacular piesea and the legiti? mate drama in constant succession. The advantages of this undertaing to (he bu? siness of this city by making it more attractive, can haraly be estimated, while it will give tho Hist great impetus to the value of real osta'.e. The erection of this opera house alone will do more to attract the attention of capitalista who desire to moke investment* here than all other efforts made therefor. We are also informed that a committee of prominent merchants has been organized to go among the business mon and citizens gene? rally to raise the ten thousand dollars required. H raised, the theatre is a fixed fact, an I will be completed by tho first of November. Mr. Chadwick, we understand, is willing to obligate himsslf to return to the subscrib?is th) amount subscribed by them in case the build? ing should, in the next ten years, be diverted from the purposes for which it will be fitted up. Mr. Chadwick has already caused bis ten? ants to move out of th it portion of the bull? ing necessary for building the theatre, and has obtained the plans and specifications. The latest improvements in theatres and ope? ra houses at the North have been examined, and he finds that the work cannot be credita? bly done except at a oost of $10,000 more than he had designed or is willing to expend for the purpose. The advantages of the whole plan are so great to our oity that we cannot doubt the succors of the movement. The money is not to be paid down by subscribers until the build? ing is erected, and if the committee cm. to? day and to-morrow, secure the $10.000 requir? ed, the work of building the opera house will begiu on Monday morning. REPORTERS' CHUMBS-Mr. M. W. Wigg re? ceived his commission yesterday as a notary public A grand juryman proposed yesterday that the proceedings of that body should be opene J with prayer. Car No. 32, of the Butledge-street line, got off the track yesterday, but was soon rightei. A colored man applied yesterday to be ap? pointed matron of the Orphan House. The new badges for the "Pioneer" have ar? rived. They are of gilt metal in the form of a shield, surmounted by a fireman'^ oap resting on crossed trumpets, with the word "Pioneer" on a scroll. Above is the squad number and a steamer, balo v the year of incorporation. Altogether they are-neat and serviceable. Horses and mules brought high prices at the government sale yesterday. There was a light and cooling raia yesterday, which, however, did but little towards replen? ishing our empty cisterns. A change in the city officials is not far dis? tant-so say the quid nunca. Tat. TOBT ROTAI. RAILBOAO.--The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday has another arri?le in regard to the Port Boyal Railroad. It says that the New Yorkers who now control the company proposed td'build and equip the toad if the Georgia'Bailroad would take it in charge, when completed, at a valuation of $3,000,000, guaranteeing a dividend of. six per cent, on that amount. Thia vvas considers i by Judge King and Directors S.'bley and Jones, of the Georgia Road, and ono of the two gentlemen last named signed the contract. Judge King, however, refused to concur ip the agreement, sad made a counter 'proposition, which was that the road should be bnilt for oasb, and that for every ten miles finished, the Georgia Bailroad would subscribe thirty thousand dol? lars to the stock of the company at par, until three hundred thousand dol?ais had been sub? scribed. Then, when the entire road is con? structed, and the docks and a grain elevator built at Port Rayai, that the Georgia Road ' would subscribo an additional hundred thou? sand dollars-making in all four hundred thousand dollars. The Chronicle says: Messrs. Flannigan and Browne accepted this proposition and signed it, subject to the ap? proval of their associates in New York. D, was also signed by tho Georgia Railroad commit? tee, and may now be regarded as a finality, fer no objection is anticipated from the other par? ties yet to be oonsnlted. Messrs. Browne and Flannigan lett for New York last night, and, obtaining the ap rovo I of their associates, will return witina thirty days to commence opera? tions. The road will first be graded and the track laid immediately from the depot of the Georgia Road to Band Bar Ferry, whore the bridge will be built across the Savannah. This is to be done in order that rook and other ma? terial may be brought down the Georgia Road and carried through to tbe river, so that the bridge may be constructed before the waters are swollen by the next autumnal rains. Tho contractors agree to have the road ttufehed from Augusta to Port Boyal by August of noxt ?rear. When this has been accomplished, two inos of steamships will be immediately estab? lished, one running to New York, the other to r Liverpool. We must confess, that to us the whola af? fair looks very much like moonshine, and in? deed tho following paragraph whioh we take from tho Augusta Constitutionalist, of yester? day, squints unmistakably in that direction : The Chronicle and Sentinel, of vesterday morning, annoanoed that contracts were exe? cuted on Tuesday whioh would insure the com? pletion of this road within the next twelve months. This statement was made upoa pro? fessedly reliable authority. We have been authorised by Colonel G. P. Elliott, of South Carolina, ono of toe original projectors of this line of road, and a number ot the Board of Di? rectors, to state that no such contracts bare been consummated. The matter is in treaty with Northern capitalists, but no definite ar? rangement has yet been concluded. Colonel Elliott also informs us that tho parties-Messrs. Moses Tay to* & Co.-named in connection with the contract by our contemporary, oro not con? cerned in the negotiations pending, j AIMOMAJX Y??OT.- It ls announced that" Alderman VotRt, or Ward 8, will qtffcllry and take bia ?eat at tb? next meeting of City Coun? cil?

Hts letter reinsing to qualify was presented to Council at ft meeting held on May 4, and was received as information. Mr. Yoigt, while in Council, was a straightforward and moderate man.
