Kaitlin? of Chains-Terrified Renters A Plactty Young Man Alone-Tits Women im White-A Race at Night Glimpses of Garters-The Mystery Cleared l p There ie in the-- part of this city a small brick house which for two years past has borne the dreadful name "Haunted." We have no knowledge of its being at all historic, or of a murder or two, or any other crime hav? ing been committed in it to warrant ghostly manifestations. Yet there it stands, accredit? ed with all the mystery which ever attaches to a house supposed to contain incorporeal in? habitants. Women and children avoid it in the daytime, and the men who live in that sec? tion have learned that, at night, the "nearest way 'round is the shortest way home." As a publication of the locality of the house might be of injury to its owners, we refrain. During the past two years it bas been frequent? ly advertised in the "Io Bent" column, and SB frequently was rented, but the renton did not remain in possession long. Tbs longest pe? riod it was held was two weeks, and the short? est ten hours. The occupants heard rattling of chains, the shuffling of feet, and saw doors which had just been locked fly open and shut to without the least noise. The conventional groans were missing in this haunted house, but the clanking of chains, shuffling of feet, and the door manifestations were sufficient to so frighten the occupants as to make them leave without giving even a day's notice. Each and every occupant bad the same story to tell. Finally, the owners of the house despaired of | ever getting an occupant for it, and allowed it to remain idle. A young man who didn't believe in ghosts was heard to assert bis dis? belief, and also his willingness to sleep in the house, and prov? that there was no such indi? cations of ghostly occupants as were spoken of. He was called upon to carry out hie pro" position. "Betag stout of muscle, strong ol nerve. Be did not from his purpose swerve," And one night last week he might have been observed in a room ot the bouse with a bottle of the ardent and two revolvers, laying in wait for ghostly intruders. Thus he remained until about ten o'clock, and seeing nor bearing noth? ing of spirits, he put himself outside of some and then went to sleep. Mot long did he slum? ber. A noise aroused bim. He arose and walked to the window, and saw two women clad in white (petticoats is the name the cloth? ing goes by among the initiated) coming to? wards tbe house. They bore a ohain, and, as soon as they got upon the back porch, com? menced polling the chain back and forth. Hoping to catch them in the act, our hero crept down stairs, but, while passing through the hall, made a noise whicb alarmed tho wo? men and off they went at a rate most surprising to oar watcher. He pursued, but did not overtake them, and, with the exception of knowing that they wore red garters-their rapid pace and the wind allowing him oppor? tunities of observation-he has no clue what? ever for identification purposes. Being convinced that the rattling of chains and shuffling of feet heard by tbc former occu? pants was occasioned by these or other women, and that the alleged mysterious opening and shutting of locked doors was oa?the effeot of | the imaginations of the timid occupants, tbs watcher retired to rest, determined tbat on tho morrow he would, if possible, solve the ques? tion be was constantiyaskiiig himself, "What is tbe object of these women in frightening off the occupants of this boase ?" At an early hour he arose, left the house, and about ten o'clock circulated among the women who lived in the neighborhood-of a class pope 'arly de? nominated the "low-down people." By judi? cious questioning he ascertained that there was in the lot of the haunted boase an excel? lent well of water. From this well the neigh? bors had to obtain water or send a long dis? tance for it, and then get a-poor article at that. When the house was vacated they had free use of the well, but wben occupied they were not permitted to obtain water even for drinking purposes. To keep the bouse vacant was evi? dently to their interest, and they took ap tbe ghost method, which was a "success" until a man who had common sense enough not to be? lieve in ghosts agreed to occupy the house and ascertain for himself whether there were such visitants. The neighbors thonght he was to be.au occupant and tried their game anon bim, with two result above stated. V -s DEATH or COLONEL Wat. P. SHTKOLEB.-The mournful intelligence of the death of Colonel Wm. Pinckney Shingler was received in this city yesterday. The remains, whicb arrived by the Norttifistern Bailroad, were taken to Mount Pleasant for interment. Colonel Shing? ler's career as a public man, a citizen and a sol? dier is well-known to most of our readers, and bis death, while in the prime of manhood, will be deeply deplored. A native of Charleston District, he came to thd city as a youth and filled a position in the office of Mr. Daniel Horlbeck, then clerk of the court. This he retained until the election of hia father, Colonel 8. B. Shingler, to the sheriffalty, when he ber came obisf clerk in that office. After the ex? piration of his father's term, be himself be? came a candidate for office, bat was defeated by Mr. J. D. Yates. He subsequently oc? cupied tbe position of teller in the Planters' and Mechanics' Bank. lu '56 or '67 he formed a copartnership with his brother and con? ducted a brokerage and banking bouse in Broad-street. He had retired from business, however, before the wax sod engaged in plant- j mg in Berkeley District, near Goose Creek, and j was elected senator in the State Legislature iron that section. Upon the first mutterings of war, he was elected s member of the Seces? sion Convention. Being thoroughly imbned with the dominant spirit of tba State, he took an active part in the war, and rose to the posi? tion of lieuteuant-cc-'onel of the Holcombe Legion. While in command of s portion of J the South Carolina cavalry, lu the Virginia army, he made some brilliant sorties (bat struck terror into the enemy. After tho war Colonel Shingler resumed his planling opera? tions, ind also served as senator in the first seesion of the State Legislature. Having con? tracted a malarious fever, it assumed a viru? lent type and falling upon the lungs, changed to consumption, to which he fell a victim, at the age of 42._ ATTEMPT TO MURCHS IN Ena IFIELD.-In Edgefield District, on the evening of the 8th instant, a white man named O'Donnell was re? turning home, when he was shot in tbe back. He was found next morning still alive, bat ig? norant of the perpetrator of the deed. Dr Pragit, near whose house he was shot, has taken bim in and is earing for bim. ? OTT TAXIS.-Attention is directed to aa ad? vertisement of the City Treasurer, notifying all taxpayers that the last instalment on real estate is doe this month, and if not paid the property will be advertised for sale, not only in the city papers, bat throughout the State.

LINA RAILROAD.-By a change in the schedule of the South Carolina Railroad, which goes int 3 effect to-day, the trains, though leaving at the same time, arrive one hour earlier. The night trains leave as before, bu' by the new arrangement.are enabled to connect with the Charlotte and South Carolina Bailroad on Mon? days, Wednesdays and Fridays. This is a de? cided gain-passengers and mails were hereto? fore compelled to lie over in Columbia until the next morning. A daily communication bas also been established with Camden, and the entire change is one that will give general sat? isfaction._ A LETTES FROM MAGISTRATE BUNCH. Yesterday, Magistrate L. Bunch read a letter to us and requested its publication. We promised to publish it entire or to give the "griBt" of it as Josh Billings would say. On reading the letter we concluded to publish it, and here it is : Messrs. Editors-on yesterday in your issue The question was asked. How is it.

THA^ ANT SICK MAN SURVIVED TBE treatment of fifty years a;o, mnit be considered a proof th it human beings are very hard to kill. The lancet, calomel, cantharidles and drastic pur? gatives were then tb? order of the day. The phy elo an plsyed into the hands of the apothecary, and the unfortunate patient was drenched morning, noon and night with prostrating medicines. We ive in a more rational and conscientious era. The mportauce of supporting Nature in Its conflict with disease is now understood. Complaints in themselves weakening are no longer aggravated by artificial depletion. They are met with TONICS that rally the vital powers and enable them to de? feat the enemy. Chief among these allies of Nature, in its battles with sickness, ls PLANTATION BITTERS. Thia wonderful vegetable restorative is the sheet anchor of the feeble and debtbtited. As a cordial for the aged and decrepit! it has no equal among stomachics. As a remedy for the nervous weakness to which the tender sex are especially subject, lt is superseding every other stimulant and nervine. In all climates, tropical, temperate or frigid, Its acts as a specific In every species of disorder which un? dermines the bodily strength and breaks down the animal spirits. Wherever it ls introduced lt be? comes a standard article-a medicinal staple. Drug, gists, although their profit upon lt is small, find it absolutely necessary to keep a preparation for which everybody inquires, and for which nebody will eaccpt a substitute. It is to-day the most popular medicine in the civilized world. Extensively ss lt is advertised, Its best alvertisemont is the beneficial result which uniformly follows its uss. Every bottle aold Insures the sale of at least haifa dozen more. Cmise other stimulants it braces and fortifies the system without exciting undue cerebral acMon. The cheering effect which it prodnees upon th? mind is not momentary, but permanent. There il no subsequent depression. It does not, as is the case with all other stimuli, beget a ?raving for ex citants, ?n the other band, it soothes and canns tbe nerves, combining, strange as the anomaly may seem, the qualities of a sedative and gentle anodyne with those of a tonic and Invigorant. The perfect purity of all its ingredients, their admirable adap? tation to the purposes they are intended to aub erve, the judicious proportions in which they are combined, and the scientific skiB with which they are blended, rendar this famous article at once the most] potent and the most harmless of all known onie j and alteratives.
