A Megro Nearly Chopped to Pieces with AB A xe or a Hoe-Inquest. About half-paet three o'clock yesterday af? ternoon the body of a negro man wa* observed floating in the Ashley River, near the bathing boase, at the South Battery. It, iras hauled upon the shore and the Coroner notified. He summoned a jury at once, and held an Inquest. There was no testimony, and although the body was examined by a number of persons, no one recognized it. After viewing the body and waiting some time to ascertain whether the body could be recognized, or any testimony could be produced, to throw some light noon the transaction, the jory rendered a verdict, in substance, that the deceased had been mur? dered by a party or parties to the jury un? known. The general condition of tho body rendered its speedy burial necessary, sod the Coroner, although desiring to keep it, with the hope that it might be identified, felt com polled tc order ita burial. The body, when lound, had been in the water about twenty-four hours. There was nothing opon it bat an old tattered ooat. It was horri? bly mangled. There was a large, deep gash apon the back of the head, which was nearly split in two. OD the riebt side of the neck were two stabs made with a knife. These wounds extended downward and were about six inches deep. Thero was also a large, deep gash in the right hip, and in other portions of the body numerous braises. The wounds on the bead and hip were doubtless inflicted with any axe or a hoe. Any ona of the wounds would have caused death. The body had floated down the Ashley River with the ebb tide. It is believed that (he mordor was com? mitted in the npper portion of the city, and then thrown into tho river. Who tho deceased was, who waa the murderer, and where the murder was committed, are yet to be ascer? tained, and there seems to be no cine that will lead to the obtaining of tho desired informa? tion. The deceased was apparently about thirty years of age. FBZIOHTIHO SHIPS-A Nsw BASK.-The early arrival of cotton is unusually large. The sup? ply at this port bas caused quito a demand for freight room, and vessels now due are anx? iously looked for. Oa Friday last the new bark Annie Torrey, Captain Libby, arrived here from Richmond, Me., with -a cargo of hay con? signed to Messrs. W. R -aoh A Co. She came in good time, and was fortunate enough to se? cure tbroagh her consignee a considerable por? tion of her cargo for Liverpool at 9-lCd. on upland cotton. The Ansie Torrey is jost off the stocks at Richmond, Mo., and bas been ooastraoted with great care by her builders, Messrs. Tharlow & Elwell, who have tarnished her with all the latest improvements. She tons 781, and it is thought that she will be able to stow away ?boat 2600 balee. The usual good management of her consignees will insure her having prompt dispatch. It will surprise many of oar citizens, no doubt, to learn that those gentlemen have disbursed in this city in the past year over fifty-one thousand dollars for work executed for the sailing vessels to their consignment._ LOUTENAKT BABKKB/B GHOST STOBT is the title of an article in a Ute number of a North? ern Magazine. It tells of a lieutenant of the Froedmen's Bureau who was stationed oa one of the sea islands near Charleston, and fell in love with a young lady, daughter of "Colonel David Marshall, one of the ruined and humbled mag? nates of the region of long staple cotton." The lieutenant had made his headquarters at the house of tbs colonel. When he addressed Miss Jennie Marshall she promptly rejected him, asserting as her reason that they were not "of the same people. You haven't a relative that wouldn't dislike me, and I haven't one wbo wouldn't dislike you. We are rebels, boru slaveholders-broken-down gentry-poor and proud-Marshalls. You, you tell me, are tho son of a Yankee larmer, and you believe a man makes himself. Now, how could such differ-, j ont people help fighting? Ob, you haven't ', showed yourself a man of sense. I should have expected more practical sense from a Yan kea." Previous to this proposal the lieutenant had requested an interview with Miss Jennie in the grove in front of the bouse in ordor to " lay bare his heart. " She did not pro? mise to go, bat at the hour appointed she sent a stuttering negro dressed in worn an V clo th as. As tho moon was" not bright, and the lieutenant waa near-sigh'ed, be mistook the negro for Alisa Jennie, and "be gaSBto whisper such tirings as enamored men 'whisper on ano h occasions." Thero waa no answer, and he remembering "that silence is consent, becamo more confident and fervent ' in his pleadings." A titter interrupted bim which "Boarded like the greasy te-bo of a ne? gro," and vhen he found he was correot tu his surmise t'jat it waa a negro, he, instead of giv? ing bim a pair of "Bureau boots," as Miss Jen? nie bad told the negro he probably would, fell upon bim and kicked him thr. ntrh the orange grove. After this the lieutenant saw a ghost of a rebel officer on three different occasions. Thia ghost waa like a brother of Miss Jennie's, whom she believed had been killed during the war. When the lieutenant told her that he had seen a ghost, and de? scribed it to her, she waa very much alarmed. The lieutenant waa atilt more alarmed, and regretting that rebel ghosts were not included in the capitulation, applied I for a change of scene, which he got by a trans? fer to another dwirict. A year or two after? ward the lieutenant waa in Charleston saun? tering along the South Battery, when he met his former gboat in bodily shape, who proved . to be Colonel Henry Marshall, who said: "I am the jouogeat eon, the only surviving sou, of David Marshall. I waa a colonel in the Con? federate service during tho final battles of the war. Before the surrender I disappeared. It was reported that I bad been killed in a charge. But the case waa thia. At one time I waa on President Davis*- personal atari, and of course I learned somo secrets of state. Supposing that ho would bo tried, I did not wish to be made a witness. So I van? ished, got lo tho seaboard, and went to Cuba. After a time, having written to my family and got no answer, I be? came BO anxious about my poor father aud aiater that I retorced to South Carolina. I waa atilt fearful of being seized, and I visited the plantation secretly. Yon beat me off three times. Once 1 saw you at the window of your room. The next time I bad got into the boose by a back way, when yno scared me out of it. The third time yon came on me as I waa re? connoitring the parlor. It waa not till after you left that I waa able to see thom. It waa a terrible scene. They bad not received my let? ters, and they took me at first for a ghoat. Weir, Mr. Davis ia not to be tried, I suppose ?" After some farther discussion, during whioh the lieutenant came to the conclusion that be would not win Misa Jennie, ' he stepped into a segar shop and bought tho most expensive Havana bo could And, and so rewarded him? self, poorly and unworthily, for bia wise reso? lution. 'A man who most give np Jeanie Mar? shall,' he mattered, aa be smoked solemnly op East Bay, 'ought to have at least one fifty cent Regalia.' * The story waa written to please the Northern people, and doubtless accomplished ita pur? pose, aa it relates bow tba wealthy Southerners hare been deprived of their property *nji "bumbled," "THE SIROCCO COMETH!" Parson Cain Warns the Peculating c it y Official* of the Wrath to Come-Let Aldermen Beware! It is really surprising on hoir many points Parson Cain and THE NEWS ' think alike, not? withstanding "the occasional political extrava? gances into which the black shepherd is be? trayed. In Saturday's issue of the Missionary Record he polishes off our municipal vultures in very handsome style. After depicting in glowing terms the public confidence and pros? perity that would res ult from au administration of city affairs by honest, capable and respecta? ble men, he goes ou to say: But when a venal class usurp the functions of administrativo and executive affairs-when men of base origin and of craven habits dom? ineer over patient forbearance and the lovers of peace-when cunning, crafty, unprincipled politicians revel wtth impunity amid the wrung out treasures of the people, and inaugu? rate their midnight bacchanals-when the peo? ple are pouring ont of their poverty to sustain a city government, oppressed with an enor? mous debt and accumulating interest-and when every effort is being made to resuscitate and recover our fallen fortunes, it is time for honest people to look to their "/lints" and scru? tinize tanbjations of their public functionaries. And yet rxrraor alarms us of transactions per? petrated by high officials detrimental to our interests. Wo ara led to these reflections by the facts in our possession of certain "pecula? tions" and needless expenditures of a cer? tain "clique" in our City Council, who are said to be feasting off tho people's money. We warn those faithless public servants that there are honest men in tho Republican party who will not suffer thom to bring tho party into disgrace without lifting their voice against their needless expenditure of the people's bard earnings. While thoy pay the poor laboring mau a mere pittance for his hard day's work, they drink their "sherry" and champagne, and drive fast horses, tina, there are a boat of honest men who ore observing your course. That "ring* ' will not remain in power forever. No, the indignant people will riso up in thoir might and omah them to powder. Beware 1 "the Sirocco cometh," and terriblo are the tudgmouts of the people. They will not always ie led to slaughter by the bloody-handed hatchers._ UNSOUND FISH.-A negro named Charles Cormick was arraigned before the Mayor Satur? day, to answer to t'.e charge of attempting to sell unsound fis- in the Market, and for abus? ing tbe Clerk of the Market when he told bim be should not sell them. Charles was of the opinion that freedom gave bim the privilege of talking as much os ho pleased, and so asserted. Tho Mayor discharged him with a reprimand. Aonw PBBIOBTS.-Business in this city has opened with greater activity, and bas assumed more decidedly tho character of a prosperous, healthy trade than at any time since tho war. Tho fairly paying prices which the South now enjoys for her staples will, ere long, restore her to more than her former comfort and wealth. Among other branches of commerco which aro steadily improving, is the inter? course along the coast, which is now large and gaining, and its present importance was indi? cated on Saturday hst when five steamships left this city for the leading Northern centres. These vessels were tho Manhattan, for New Tork, with 1438 bales cotton; Minnctonka, for New York, with 1168 bales; General Sedgwick, for New York, with 451 bales; J. W. Everman, for Philadelphia, with 566 bales; and Sea Gull, for Baltimore, with 397 bales; forming a grand total of 4030 bales cotton. Extra steamships have been placed on some of the linea, and ore securing heavy cargoes. A NEQRO CONSTABLE SHOT_Abou'. darkoo Thursday evening, Sam Spencer, one of the negro seleotmon of Hamburg, and Qus Robin? son, the mulatto constable who figures aroind Prince Rivera' Congo Court, with their artillery buckled around them, took an official stroll down the South Carolina Railroad aa far at the Dead Fall. Their object, we learn, waa to pro? cure the arrest of a subject, to be dealt with, we presume, according to the most approved misunderstanding of the law for which Rivera ia celebrated. When they reached the above point they wero met by a couple of white men, whose names we have not ascertained, one of whom opened fire on them with a pistol, the ball taking effect in the fleshy part of the con? stables left arm. Spencer claims to have fired two sh ita at the white men, but must have fired wide of the mark, as himself and associ? ate soon returned to Hamburg without effect? ing any arrest. No arreata have yet been made, but the "loil" were in a ferment Friday morn? ing, boiling up the occurrence aa a Ku-Klux outrage for publication. It may bo very safely assumed that somebody will be arrested-whe? ther the right one or not being a matter of email concern to the Radioal sense of justice whioh controle tho new regime. THE Wons UPON THE OPRBAHOUSE goes bravely on. Not by dav only, but far into tho night tho building, ablaze witn temporary gas? lights, resounds with the datier ot busy ham? mers, and, under tho fashioning of hundreda of stalwart arms, the graceful outlines of the auditorium begin to assume- form and sub? stance. The massive roofing is now com? plete; the floors of th? a^age, orchestra, pit and vestibules ate already laid; the gallery frames are in position; the walls aro neatly all lathed and ready for the plasterers; and, the heaviest portion of the work having been thus disposed of in the incredibly short space of eighteen days, the construction of the aeata, boxea, and gallery stairways will DO at once begun. From an inspection of the plana, in? cluding the atyle of decorations, ?Yo., we are gi id to bo able to expresa the opinion that our new opera house will be by far tha cosiest, handsomest, and most oomplete temple of the drama itu t the South eau boaat. Combining the beat features of Booth'a and the Fifth Ave? nue theatrea m New York, it will enjoy aome decided advantages over either of them. The pitch of the pit and three galleries will be auch aa to offer a full and easy view of everything behind the (ootUghta from every portion of ' the house; and the noble proportions of the atage will afford ample scope for the produc ductiou of the grandest and moat elab?rate 8cenic effects. The proscenium buxoa, four in number, will bo richly ornamented, and tho frescoes and general adornments will be a faithful reproduction of those so aonerally ad? mire 1 in Brougham's beautiful little Fifth Avenuo theatre. Altogether, the operabouae bids fair to be an attraction added to our city, of which her people may well be proud. The architoct, Mr. Devereux, ia "puehing things" with au energy of which wo have uovcr before soon the like m Charleston, and the prospecta are good that the building will bo ready for the opening early iu December. An incident will illustrate the generous and hearty co-operation afforded to the young contractor in tua efforta to be "up to time." A well known veteran disciple of Vulcan, who for more than a quarter of a century baa retired from per? sonal service at the anvil, having heard that some delay wai threatened in the construction of the roof for want of the iron clamps required to unite the girders, hss'ened to assure tua young friend that be would himself see to the removal of the tnreatened embarrassment. He was as good aa his word. Baring his brawny arma, he at onoe took bio plaoe at the forge with all the spirit and something of the vigor ot bia youth, ard, animated by his exam? ple, bia artisans worked with a will, and in one night the iron fastenings were all finished and ready for use. Such seems to be the spirit which animates everybody engaged on the opera house, from the master-mind who di? recta .'he work to tbe hamblest cf the laborers. THE ?HUsEKBirr SEASOI? opens on Monday evening next st tba Hibernian Hall, when a newly organized dramatic company, ander the management of Masara. Collins and Morse, are to appear, with thc advautago of new scenery and appointments, upon a stage vast? ly improved. Most of the members of the combination-wbich, in numbers, at least, is a strong one-will be new to a Charleston audi? ence. Misa Kite Raymond, the leading lady is well known to our playgoers. 8he haa achieved considerable auooess in her line since we saw her last, and is doubtless much im? proved. If the fair promises of the managers be fulfilled, the engagement can hardly fail to be a success. r_ CBUMBS.-The deposits in the Charleston branch of the Freedmen's SavingB Bank in August were, 130,487 80; drafts, $14,894 66. Amount due depositors $110,224 91. There was no one fined by the Mayor Satur? day. Eight new lamps wert pot up along the King street plank road last week. Tho remains of Mr. A. 8.

It is rumored that a professional gentleman of thia city "burnt his fingers'1 during the recent gold fever. "Ye tiger " was bearded in his den on Queen street by the detectives carly yesterday morn? ing. Thoao who weie gamboling with the ani? mal will appear before the Mayor to-day.
