THB CHEAPEST YET.-The NEWS Job Office is MW printing bill-heads ta the best style and on lae paper, at $2 50 per thousand. Merchants, think Witt COCK FIGHT.-A main was fought on the Meet, on Saturday, between a Charleston and a Mew York cock, in which the'former was worsted. A subsequent light between two Charleston birds, Jeff. Davis and Sherman, was won by the former. A numbai of sporting men were present, and some money changed hands. PHOPLIS' BAKE.-A meeting of the stock Solders of this bank will be held at ll o'clock this morning, at No. ie Broad street, to consider the act of the Legislature touching thc banks of the State, and to determine the future policy of the sank. It ls generally understood that the finances of the hank warrant a resumption of business, whick lt ls te be hoped will be effectcfl at an early day. ^ THB LIGHT-FINGERED GENTRY.-Bver since the Macon Fair, the pickpockets have been busy In Georgia and Alabama. An elderly lady reached Augusta last Saturday, on her way to Chester? field County, bi this State, from Montgomery, Alabama, at which point she had her pocket picked of eighty douars, all her available cash. A gentleman on the same train lost three hun? dred dollars. THE Qoo WARRANTO CASES.-It ls under? stood that the Chief Justice has adjudged thc re? spondents In the quo warranto cases guilty of a contempt in not obeying the order of the court, heretofore made. He retains thc motion for his farther order, not .desiring to direct an attach? ment until his decision on the quo warranto ls rendered by the Supreme Court. No extended .pinion ls rendered. Pr/soHASB OP A GOLD MINS.-On Tuesday, the ?th rnstant, the valuable mineral farm, con? taining SOS aeres, known as Lorton's Gold Mine, was purchased for $1700 by Mr. John B. Cochran, with the intention of working lt. Prior to the -war, tats mine, situated near Perry ville, a station an the Blue Ridge Railroad, was worked by negroes. It possesses every convenience for its working. The work will be pushed rapidly ' .-ahead. Coso KER'S INQUEST.-Coroner Whiting held an inquest on Saturday, at the Boper Hospital, .aver tko body of a seaman who had been injured ky a fall from the masthead while the vessel was at sea. He had been sick for some time, and the Jory returned a verdict in accordance with the facts presented. The jury on the murder case will convene to-day at 10 o'clock, and as the witnesses are allon hand a verdict will probably be rendered. A LUCKY ESCAPE.-While Dr. Ogler, Sr., wai driving out ta his buggy on Sunday after soon, accompanied by his servant, the axle snapped In two. The doctor and his servant were both thrown ont, and the horse, finding itself un? controlled, darted off at rapid pace, and went a considerable distance before it could be stopped. The doctor and his servant, we are happy to say, escaped with only a few slight bruises and a startling fright, the buggy being broken to pieces. THE CASE or MR. CHARLES CAHX.-A New York dispatch states that Mr. Cahn, the broker, er this city, whose recent arrest in Kew York for alleged forgery has already been noticed, has succeeded ID vindicating himself. It appears Skat ke had sent fonds to New York to meet his ?rafts, but reached that city In advance of the stoney. His draft for $lo.coo was dishonored and ne was arrested. Satisfactory explanations were made before Judge Ingraham and he was released. ? PALMETTO LEAVES IN COMMERCE.-Late ad? vices from England state that there lately ar? rived la Liverpool from New York 4075 bundles of palm leaves, weighing forty tons, which were sold lox Sits currency per ten. The leaves are the .productor the palmetto tree of the Southern States, and a large and profitable business, lt is asserted, has been established bi gathering, picking In bundles and exporting, what has here - tai ore been a useless product. In all 7095 bundles of palmetto leaves have arrived bi Liverpool. CONFLAGRATION IN FLORBNCE, 6. C.-On Fri? day night, about 7 o'clock, a fire was discovered in the bakehouse or Mr. Phillp Buckhelt, Jr., In Front street, Florence, caused from a defective Jue in the chimney. Had lt not been for the ex? ertions of Mr. George A. Howard and the news soy, John Dart, the whole block would probably lave been consumed. The Florence fire engine eompsny were promptly on the spot, bnt the scarcity of water rendered Its efforts compara? tively useless. Mr. Buchhelt has sustained no loss to sis stock, snd the repairs to the building will cost but a trifle. AN AMUSING INCIDENT.-On Friday morning last, while Jim DuBose (colored constable of E. W. Lloyd, at Florence,) was taking a prisoner to the Darlington jail, for cow stealing, (said prisoner be? ing handcuffed and chained to the back of the buggy,) he lost bis hat accidentally. Jim, ever po? nte, gave the prisoner the reins and went back af? ter the hat, whilst Smart, the prisoner, nrged on the steed at a fearful speed, leaving polite Jim, bat in hand, far In the distance, a sadder, but we hope, a wiser man. After driving rapidly for two miles, prisoner halted the foaming anima), and siter tearing off the back of the buggy te which ke had keen chained, took to the woods, leaving the vehicle a wreck and the constable a wretched man. Capt E. W. Lloyd, to whom the buggy be? longs, tua our sympathies. THE MAGAZINES.-The Eclectic for December kaa for a frontispiece a portrait of fte famdus Pere Hyacinthe. Among the many valuable articles whick lt contains we note especially "France and tko (Ecumenical Council of 1869," from the British Quarterly, "Terrestrial Magnetism" from Chamber's Journal, and the continuation of "Ro? man Imperialism," by Prrfessor Seeley. This number closes a volume, and this is a good time to subscribe to what is unquestionably one of the most valuable magazines in the country. The Riverside Magazine for December. Of the Riverside we have often had occasion to speak. It is highly sparkling and pure, as full of infor? mation as amnsement-the best magazine for young people that we have seen. Both the Eclectic and Riverside may be had at FogarnVs Book Repository, King street. CRUMBS.-Laborers were busy on Saturday clearing away the debris or the late fire on East Bay, and the work of rebuilding will soon be com? menced. . The Insane woman, whose arrest to Augusta sss been mentioned, arrived in this city on Friday evening. She is at present In the Roper Hospital, and, if her mental derangement continues, will be sent to the Asylum at Columbia. The children will be sent to the Orphan house. ..One more unfortunate" drummer was arrested on Saturday, but secured himself by taking out a li can se. Ford's dramatic company have arrived, and are staying at the Pavilion. Miss Laura Alexander, leading lady ot the company, is at the Charleston. The white Journeymen carpenters meet this evening, at the Washington Fire Company's Hall, to elect a delegate to the Executive Committee of Workingmen, and to sign the constitution. The Aiken Hotel has been purchased by some Northern capitalists, but will not change hands anti! some time In May. Mr. Anderson, the popu lar uosr. will remato, to charge. Tua PLANTERS' AND MKCBANICS' Bum.-We are authorized to say that the nant era' and Me? ?banles' Bank of South Carolina Ls redeeming its bills at Its office. A MOPEL ESTABLISHMENT.-We invite the at? tention of the friends of THE NEWS m the city and throughout the State to the excellent facilities which our office enjoys for the prompt execution of an kinds of Book and Job Printing. Fully pro? vided with new type and machinery of the latest and most approved pattern, and having a large and carefully selected stock of cards, envelopes and papers of all qualities, THB NEWS Job Office ls now prepared to fill orders for every description of plain and ornamental printing In the very best manner, anti at rates at least as low as any other establishment In the Southern States. Call at Tna NEWS building (up-stairs) and examine our seale of prices and specimens of our work. CHEAPER COAL.-Consumers will be gratified to learn that a very important reduction in prices occurred in this article at thc auction sale in New York on Wednesday. The World says: "There were 70,000 tons sold; the bidding, even at the low prices that prevailed, was not eager-facts which show that, In the opinion of the dealers, an advance la prices ls not to be expected, and that probably a still further decline may occur. Lump coal sold as low as $4 OS; steamboat coal at $4 02 j. ; grate coal at $4 30; egg coal as low as $515; chestnut at the same; and stove coal as lew as $715-which ls a decline of about one dollar a ton on this quality, and a much greater decline on all the other varieties. As these are the prices for tons of 2240 pounds, and the dealers sell to their customers tons of only 2000 pronnds, thc retail prices will probably not be very much higher, ere long, than the rates which obtained at this sale." THK ACADEMY OF MUSIC-Everybody is on the oui vive for the opening of oar new and beau? tiful Temple of the Drama, which Manager Ford formally announces this morning for Wednesday evening next. The company has been organized with care and discrimination, aad comprises really meritorious artists. Miss Alexander, the leading lady, is an accomplished actress and a charming and cultivated lady. She belongs to ono of the leading families in Western North Carolina. Her father was one of the most brilliant members of the bar, and her mother a renowned belle of the j State. The Alexanders, Polks and Grahams are historic names in North Carolina, and have been from the date of the Mecklenburg Declaration, prominent alike in public end private Ufe. One brother was a distinguish,-J officer of the Confed? erate navy, and another left thc presldenoy of a college In Texas to serve la the Confederate army, which he did with distinction. The Wilmington Journal, speaking of Miss Alexander, editorially says: Still young, and as lt were just entering upon her duties and studies, she, of course, has still much to learn. Relined la all that makes the true woman, thus early la her career she yet hesitates to give herself up to ber parts. With her early associations and culture her nature yet shrinks from too great a display of abandon. But having overcome these difficulties and having practiced her volae, and having educated herself la the stage tricks or business, she wlU doubtless take a high stand. We are sure that Miss Alexander will be warmly welcomed upon the Charleston boards. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT, FRIDAY, NO? VEMBER 26, i860-HON. G. S. BRYAN PRESIDING.

A MONSTER OF THE DEEP.-Those who "go down to the Bea In ships" are usually famous for their "fish stories," but it has fallen to the lot of some colored fishermen of this city, not only to see, but to capture one of the huge Inhabitants or the world of water, and secure their trophy upon terrafirma. The monster was seen near Wappoo Cat, la shallow water, and was pursued by the fishermen, who struck him with their oars. Flus? tered apparently at finding himself in close quar ten, he beat wildly in every direction to the great alarm of his assailants, until a lucky flounder landed him in tuc marsh. He was at once at? tacked more vigorously, and a fierce engage? ment ensued, in which he had almost work? ed his way off the marsh, but was driven back and dispatched by thrusting an oar into his blow hole on the top of the head, and by repeated blows on thc side of the head with an axe. After the captive had ceased his dying struggles, he was attached to the boat and towed to Chisolm's MUI, where with some difficulty the carcass was elevated to the wharf. A large truck was secured, and after wrapping the enor? mous fish In canvas, it was transported to the Military Hall, escorted by a mixed crowd of gap? ing wonder-seekers. It was on exhibition on Saturday in the yard of the Military Hall, and was visited by great numbers of persons. It is about eighteen feet la length and four In diame? ter at the widest part of the body, with a blunt, square-shaped head, having thc mouth con? siderably recessed, and furnished with a range of short, conical teeth some distance from each other. The eye is small and duU, with a backward look, and lt has the blow hole and fins characteristic or the whale family. The general Impression seemed to be that the monster was a genuine black whale, though not full grown. Prefessor Holmes, how? ever, pronounced it to be the grampus, or which there are several species, the largest attaining a length of twenty-five feet. The name grampus ls supposed to be a corruption of thc French grand poisson. Specimens have occasionally been caught off our coast, but this, we believe, ls the first Instance of one of these monsters having been known to visit our harbor. The carcass wiUremain on exhibition ror some hours this morning, arter which it will be cut np and tried ror oil. A yield or from one to twa barrels ls coafldently expected, and, it realized, will be the first case, as far as we know, of Callee "strik? ing Uc." Resolutions. At a meeting of the Masonic Fair Associa? tion, held at the Masonic Hall on the evening of Wednesday, November 24, 1869, the following res? olutions were unanimously adopted and directed to be published In the daily papers : Besolved, That the thanks of this Association ror and In behalf of the various Commanderies, Chapters and Lodges, be returned to the ladles who so kindly and successfully volunteered and assisted at the various tables during the past week at our fair. Resolved, That wo attribute the great measure of our success to their enthusiasm, energy and presence, and but for their valuable assistance we fear that the noble objects of our charity could never have been accomplished. Resolved, That we as Mas?ns wilt ever hold in grateful remembrance their labors In our behair, and hope that they wUl soon realize that our suc? cess is their success, and our loss their loss. Resolved, That the thanks or this Association be also tendered to John S. Riggs, Esq., president, and the board or directors or the Charleston City Railroad Company, for their kind gift of placing the cars or Melt lines at our disposal, Tree or cost up to a late hour in the evening. Resolved, That we recognize In this act or chari? ty an effort to assist and render certain our suc? cess. Resolved, That thc dally papers be requested to pubUsh the above resoiu'ions. AUGUSTIN-: T.
