The strides which THIS NEWS ha? made in cir? culation, especially in the country, within the last twelve mouths, encourage us to redouble our efforts to make it such a paper as everybody wants to read, and a visitor which shad be welcomed in ever/ household ia Ute St atc There ls no good reason.vhT. aUve Charleston newspaper, which keeps pace with the progress and spirit of the .day, and ls published at a price which places it within the reach of aU, should'not, with proper mall faculties, attain' a circulation of Thirty Thousand copies; and we can promise that no ex? ertions or enterprise shall be wanting on our part to make the regular edition of this journal ap? proximate to that figure. As a peculiarly attractive inducement to the planters of the State to become subscribers to THE NEWS before the expiration of the present year, we have arranged with Messrs. Walker, l*jvans A Cogswell, the publishers of the " Rural Carolinian," to supply that new and superb agri? cultural magazine, together with TEE NEWS, to new subscribers, at the fohowlng very low rates: TBS DAILY NEWS and the " Rural Carolinian," one year, for six dollars and fifty cents. TEX TBI-WEKKLY NEWS and the " Rural Caroli? nian," ono year, for four dollars. Subscriptions to the two publications may be sent either to the proprietors of THE NEWS, or to the proprietors of the *'Rural Carolinian." But persons desiring to avail themselves of this offer must do so before the first of January next, as the arrangement will Hot be extended beyond that period. When these rates are contrasted with those of the Charleston papers before the war, when the yearly price of a daily was ten dollars, and of a tri-weekly five dollars, in gold, or its equivalent, we think we may fairly claim that THE NEWS has labored to some purpose in the diffusion of Intel? ligence among the people at prices suited to the changed aspect of the times. DEATH OK A JOURNALIST.-Tidings were received yesterday of the death of E. P. Lucas, Esq., pro? prietor of the Darlington Democrat.

BILL-STICKING-SUIT FOR DAMAGES.-For seve? ral days past there has been considerable excite? ment among thc bill-stickers. The bills of the MetropoUtan Theatrical Company were first post ?1 about the city. In some places the bills of Skiff A. Gaylord's Minstrels were posted upon top or these. The next day the delightful counte? nances of the knights of thc "burnt cork" were hidden, obscured by bills announcing that the Me? tropolitan troupe were stUl playing ot" tho Hiber? nian HalL On Saturday Messrs.

Hawkins, President of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad has rented the North Caro? lina Road for twenty years, at six per cent per annum upon the capital stock, subject to the ap? proval of the stockholders, at a special meet? ing to be held in Raleigh on the 11th of No? vember. The Journal Ls surprised at "this at? tempt to make a private arrangement with one road when three others-Richmond, Danville and Piedmont, wilmington aad Weldon, and the At? lantic and North Carolina Railroads-were equal? ly interested, and if this great work ls to be rent? ed, it would have commanded a much greater price at public auction." DEPARTURE OF BISHOPS FOR THE OECUMENICAL COUNCIL.-The Baltimore Sun, alluding to the de? parture of the steamship Baltimore from that port for Bremen, on Wednesday next, Bays: Some ten of our respected prelates and as man v priests and theological students have taken pas? sage on the Baltimore ror Bremen, thence to pro? ceed to Rome to attend the CEcnmenical Council Thc list is as follows: The Most Reverend M.

LTrich, D. D., Blbff9 of Charleston, and Rt. Rev. W. H. Elder, Bishop of Natchez. SKIFF ASP GAYLORD'S MINSTRELS.-This com? pany will open in this city to-night, and remain with us during the week. If the notices of the press in the different cities and towns they have visited can be taken as an evidence of their worth, we can assure our readers that a rich treat ls in store for all who ure fond of such entertainments. The following notice ls taken from the Norfolk Journal: The first part of the entertainment was gone through In a highly satisfactory manner, Low Gaylord and Harry" Talbot occupying the ends and never failed to keep the house in a storm of laughter, when we were at once silenced by the beautiful singing of Signor GuBtave Bideaux. He rendered a ballad entitled "Come sit by my side, little darling," full of pathos and sentiment, and his rich baritone voice did full justice to the song. Joe Moirs, the fascinating dancing queen, went through his part in a truly artistic manner. Johnny Reese sang a very good comic song which was loudly encored. The two conspicuous hotel porters, Introducing Harry Talbot, Joe Mairs and G. Lang, was very funny. The Triple Clog, by StUes Phelps and Armstrong, was the gem of the evening. The opera scene from True-Bad-door was a very amusing .burlesque. Several other specialties were presented. The performance con? cluded with Professor Shaffer's 1'an'et hiopt iconlca. These views are worth the price of admission alone, to say nothing of their "minstrel enter? tainment." We would especially commend the performance as entirely free from vulgar allu? sions or indecencies of any kind. A lady can at? tend with entire Impunity, which is saying a great deal for a minstrel show. THE FIRE SATI-RHAY NIGHT.-About half-past 7 o'clock Saturday night the bells sounded the alarm of fire. The engines were promptly out, and, after a long run, found the flames issuing from a kitchen on the premises of Mrs. Blake, at the corner of Columbus and Drake streets. Water was not easily obtained, and before the fire was extinguished Mrs. Blake's house, the house ad? joining, occupied by Mr. N. F. Petit, a small frame house occupied by Mr. Moseley, and the sta? ble of Mr. H. F. Strohecker, were consumed. Wc. could not learn whether any of the property destroyed was Insured. The loss, including the damage (Jone to the fences, outbuildings, Ac, will not, lt ls thought, exceed $5000. The build? ings destroyed were of wood. The houses of Messrs. Strohecker and Cochran were slightly damaged. There was a great scarci? ty of water. Streams were play ed through fifteen hundred feet of hose. But for this scarcity of water, little damage would have been done by the fire. It ls believed that the fire was acci? dental. We are informed by the Chief Engineer that there was much confusion because of the careless? ness of ?he bell-ringer at the Orphan House. De? siring the engines from District Three, the Chief ordered the bell to be sounded three times, but the bell-ringer sounded lt twelve times, and brought out the entire department. After this the bell-ringer sounded the bell three times, which led every one to believe that there was a fire in District Three, and caused many of the firemen to leave the fire and come down town. THE SWINDLERS-THEY CARRY ON THEIR RAS? CALITY TO THE LAST.-THE NEWS has already given an account of the arrest here of "West? lake" and "Bergman," upon the charge of swindling. About six o'clock on Saturday last they were carried before Magistrates Whiting and Schroder upon a writ of habeas corpus, and after an In? vestigation were discharged. Lieutenant Philip py requested the postponement of the investiga? tion, stating that the deputy sheriff of Savannah was hourly expected, and when he came could give satisfactory reasons for the prisoners' being held In custody. "Westlake" and "Bergman," as soon as they received their discharge, left on the South Caro? lina tram. About io o'clock the same night, Mr. George S. Barth?lmesa, deputy sheriff of Savan? nah, arrived with a requisition for the two men. He had thirteen warrants for their arrest-two for stealing, three for forgery and the remainder for swindling. He communicated with Lieuten? ant PhUippy and for the first time learned that the men had gone. He then stated that he would go in pursuit of them, and Lieutenant PhUippy detailed Officer TruaU to go with him. Telegrams were then sent to Augusta, Branchville, Colombia and Florence requesting the authorities to be on the look tut for the swindlers and arrest them, rhe deputy sheriff and Officer TruaU left on thc Routh Carolina train yesterday morning. Thc swindlers employed a lawyer to represent them before the magistrates and handed him a package marted fifty dollars, thc amount they had agreed to pay him. On opening lt he found that it contained only thirty-seven dollars. * Officers Barthelmess and TruaU arrived at Branchville at 12 o'clock yesterday and found that the swindlers had left there for Wilmington on the " lightning train " about two hours be? fore* While walting at Branchville a dog bit one of the swindlers. He wanted to kill the dog with his pistol, bnt refrained when thc owner Intimated that he would treat the shooter to a dose of shot li tho dog was hurt. Thc officers, telegraphed to the authorities at Wilmington to arrest the swindlers. CRUMBS.-Thomas Graham, negro, one of the parties Implicated in the theft of nine hundred pounds of cotton from the plantation of Captatn Cordes, has escaped. One mUUon two hundred and eleven thousand one hundred and ninety-three pounds of sea Is? land cotton, valued at $1.070,73?, were exported from the Customs District of Charleston to foreign countries during the year ending tho 30th of September, i860. Thirteen fowls, saved from the fire Saturday night, arc at thc Guardhouse awaiting their owner. Messrs. W. N. naghes and C. P. Frazer will en? deavor to get pay from the time they were ousted to the date of abolishing thc o ill ces of Assessor and Assistant Assessor. At the Fair of the Library Association, the Comet and Union Star F?re Companies, colored, carried offthe two prizes offered: the first prize consisting of a silver pitcher and goblets, ami the latter of two silver goblets. Six new lamps were placed upon the King street plank road last week. Among the jurors drawn by Council Friday night for the State Court ls a negro mau. Benja? min Mills, charged with being one of the rioters duriug the visit of thc Savannah Base Ball Club. Messrs. Beamish ? Co. are engaged painting the outside of the new Opera alonso. Thirty-six witnesses have ben summoned to ap? pear at the trial of Mr. C. N. Averill, Flour In? spector, to-night. One hundred and seventy thousand feet of lum? ber were inspected here last week. Alderman Greene's "Stevedore's bill" will be brought up at the meting of Council to-morrow night. The United States Court was not in session Sat? urday. "The South Carolina Presbytery," composed or nine colored ministers, which has been In session here for several days, adjourned last Friday to meet In Columbia next April. Rumor hath it that Governor Scott will deprive R. S. Tharin and Geo. A. Richmond of their com? missions os notaries public. It is understood that an effort will bc made at each meeting of Council to get $3000 appropriat? ed for D. T. Corbin. Mr. James Mclndoo, on Saturday, requested us to place upon our bulletin board the statement that he had been appointed by the Mayor Flour Inspector pro tem. There are about one thousand applications on file for appointments upon the poilce force, and two or three more are added every day. Some of the Georgia papers are getting off some bad puns about Manager Templeton. It ls thought that Council will be in session nearly every night this week. The Mayor and Aldcmen elect or Savannah will be sworn into oilice at 12 M. to-day. A meeting of the journeymen painters will bc held at the Military Hall to-night A white man, nsanc from liquor, while at the fire Saturday night, imag ning that a white man was about to murder h in, demanded of some col? ored firemen "protection In the name of the Cat? ted States." The Legal Debatihg Society meets this evening. The thanks or those interested are returned to Dr. M. F. Uanckel for a present to the library of the Parochial School of twenty-five very accepta? ble volumes. Loss OF THE SCHOONER LCCY W. ALEXANDER, By the arrival yesterday from Florida of the steamer Dictator, wc learn that the schooner Lucy W. Alexander, Townsend, from Matanzas for Baltimore, with a cargo or sugar and molas? ses, was wrecked during the latter part of Sep? tember, on one of the Florida Keys. Captain Townsend came in the Dictator as far as Savan? nah, but stopped at that point to note his protest and attend to other matters in the interest of his vessel. Tile vessel and cargo are reported to be a total loss. Hotel Arrivals-October 16 and 17. CHARLESTON HOTEL. James Nixon, A. M. Gardner, C. B. Carsey, R. A. Little, John Thomas, George Floyd, C. S.
