The stores are opening their Christmas supplies, and the most enterprising of onr merchants are already begin? ning to make unnsual efforts to bring their goods before the public. Many have already seized opon the columns of TUE NBWS as thc best medium to accomplish the purpose, and it would be well Tor others to do the same before the holiday week begins.

THB DUBL BT LOT.-Lovers of the sensa? tional in romance are commended to the thrilling -?tory, the opening chapters of which will be found in another column.

THB PHILADELPHIA LINE.-Messrs. J. 4 T. Getty, the agents of the Charleston and Philadel? phia Steamship Line, received yesterday a tele? gram from Messrs. E. A. Souder A Co., or Phils delphi*, stating that there would be no steamer this week, as the Ever m an was disabled and hauled off, but that another steamer would be put -on to succeed the Prometheus.

M. Robertson, M. D., presi? dent; J. Ford Prioleau, M. D., vice-president; Manning Simons, M. D., secretary; Jno. L. An . cram, M. D., treasurer and librarian. -.- - * A PLKASXNO TESTIMONIAL.-^The pupils of Dr. H. M. Bruns' Academy surprised him yesterday, by the presentation of a testimonial of their ap? preciation of his character as their Instructor. ' Tpesenior class presented 'him with a pair or gold spectacles, and the Junior class with a gold ? headed ebony cane, inscribed with his name. Happy speeches were made on t he occasion. Tn H SUPREME COURT.-This court was not in ? session on Thursday. The rollo win jr cases were . accidentally omitted from the report of the pre? vious day's proceedings : Robert A. Pringle et al vs. Bela Sizer et al ; J. D. Caskey, sheriff, ads. Wp. McMuUan, and R. S. Gilliam, plaintiff In errvr, VB. PT. S. McJunkln, defendant in error, were continued by consent. L. H.

The excellent comedy > company will return and bring oat, on Monday night, the beautiful drama of "Rosedale," which, V at WaUACk's, New York, had so extraordinary a mn last winter. The piece will be put upon the hoards with the utmost care and attention to -detaUs. Kater in the week wc are to have the charming Christmas piece of "Dot, or the .Cricket on the Hearth." Daring the week following, there wlU be an en? gagement of the Galton english Opera Company. MORR EAST BAY IMPROVEMENTS.-We ore gratified to announce that the unsightly gap ia EaiV. Bay, left by the recent fire which destroyed tue stores of Messrs. K latte A Co. and Wohltmann, :J* about to be filled by the Immediate erection or tiro handsome stores, each 22 feet front by 125feet - doop, with a front elevation of 40 feet. The owner . "of tho property. Mr. E. Poinolgnoa, shows a com mendable spirit of enterprise in so promptly tak? ing measures to replace the barned buildings; ' -?nd wo have ns doubt that the contractor, Mr. J. fl. Devereux, will erect the new structures in a - substantial and handsome style, every way wor? thy of om* great commercial thoroughfare. % Tra UP-TOWN RAIDS.-The denizens of the Upper Wards are loud In their complaints of thc .fowl thieves who roam through that Bcctlon un? molested and nightly make some choice roost theh- prey. The dulcet note or the pistol, which occasionally breaks the stillness of the midnight air, has no terrors for these marauders, and dif? ferent neighborhoods are in turn called upon to pay a tax to their rapacious maw. Within the past few days these robberies have been on the increase, and, though the police authorities have ?been notified, the evil seems irreparable, and many fond anticipations of Christmas dinners .have been blighted by the sudden disappearance of the fatted gobbler. CHEAP LITERATURE.-Messrs. C. C. Righter -4 Co. have established a news depot in Hasel street; nearly opposite the Express office, which ls destined to become a popular resort with the Charleston public The stand is In a good loca Moa, and the stock has been carefully selected, comprising the leading works of Action, together with the magazines, Journals and papers or thc -day. Mr. W. N. Hughes, who has enjoyed a large experience in this Une, will conduct the business. The price of -every article has been placed at the , lowest figuro, and the Northern weeklies aud t? other papera will be offered at prices lower than ever known In this city. A good chance ls af? forded those persons desirous of making Christ ? maa investments, as the stock embraces a variety of articles adapted for presents. SULLIVAN'S ISLAND_The Rev. Dr. Bermlng - ham, who made the first practical movement ofter the war to restore Sullivan's Island to tts old-time prosperity, and to cause It to be known asd frequentcJ aa the seaport watering-place of the Carolinas and lac inland Southern States, j is determined to do his part in Improving the is? land, and with his accustomed energy has devot? ed himself to the task of building a Catholic Church to be dedicated to "St. Mary, Star of thc ? Sea," The lot was h ought, and tn Jan nary last . the corner-stone or the new church was \ laid. A large quantity or building material ? was given to Dr. Bermingham by the I United States- Government, but so rar only the I foundations or the building have been laid. The Reverend gentleman was cot wining to call upon his friends for contributions to bis cherished L work until the "hard tlmcB" were at least p&r ^Hally over. Delays sud procia?Uuaiioua ure, distasteful to his active spirit, and bo ia now [ ?hont to begin operat ons in earnest. Alresdy a [ QOBflllosloie sum of money has been given Dr. F Birmingham or h s new can ch, and lt ls h p d that aU who a precis <? h a industry an 1 di? nrer I estedness, wlU, when called n, give their m e o [ wards building the church of ?The Star or the Sea." ME. CHARLES CAHN.-We are informed that an agent of Mr. Charlea Cahn ia now in this city for the purpose of settling up in full the claims against that gentleman. A Urge amount has al? ready been paid, and lt is expected that every liability outstanding will be met in the course or a lew days. There ls little doubt that Mr. Calm was blameless in the matters with which his name has been connected, and it is hoped that, with untarnished credit, he will soon bc able to resume business in Charleston. EXCURSION TO TBK PlIOSPHATK RBRION.--A splendid opportunity is offered to strangers and others desirous er visiting thc Ashley Phosphates, by the excursion of the steamer Samson, which will leave Accommodation wharf, at 9 o'clock, and return during the afternoon. Tully will bc aboard, and refreshments will be furnished to the excursionists. The sale of property at Dray ton Dall will take place to-day, under the auspicies of Messrs. Holmes A Macbeth, and the trip of the Samson will be a great accommadation to those persons interested In the sale. ACADEMY OF MUSIC-Mr. Bishop's benefit, in spite of the unfavorable weather, drew a very full house last evening. In both the pieces presented, "Jenny Lind" and "A Serious Kamilly," Mr. Bishop appeared to great advantage. The versa? tility of this gentleman, no less In his wonderful make-np than In his style of acting, is the topic of general remark. Miss Ella Chapman was thc ceitral figure in "Jenny Lind," while Miss Blanche divided thc honors with the pious Amina dab. This afternoon and evening will positively be the last performances of the Chapman Sisters in Charleston. "Porty Thieves" at the matinee, and "Toodles" with the Thieves in thc evening. No more need be said. THE CHAPMAN SISTERS.-The Chapman Sis? ters, and the fine company which supports them, take their leave of Charleston this evening. We i bat express the general sentiment of our citizens when we say that their entertainments here have been decidedly the most pleasant that wc have had since thc close of the war. Thc you:h, vivaci ; ty and beauty of the Sister stars, make them shine equally in song and dance, In comedy and extravaganza. As for Bishop, be is, beyond com? parison, the greatest comedian that has visited the South since the days or Burton. Savannah will need bnt to see this combination once, to give them, as Charleston has done, crowded houses during their whole engagement. CROUDS.-At a recent meeting of the Com? missioners of the Market, Mr. John II. Stclumeyer was unanimously elected chairman of the board The Chadwick testimonial can be seen at Messrs. william Carrington A Co.'s, where it will remain on exhibition for a few days. An unlucky individual who confided lathe sta? bility of a cellar door on Klug street, lost his standing in the community and went deeper Into real estate than was agreeable. A new spectacular sensation, which Ls to eclipse even the renowned Black Crook and White Fawn, ls in coarse of preparation in New York. The poetry of motion ls to be interpreted by the most popular Parisian danseuses, and thc piece is to be called "The Twelve Temptations." Female fiddlers are becoming popular In thc Northern and European cities, and have rosined their bow* at many recent concerts. The miniature steamboat Eugene Ward, which attracted a large crowd in King street yesterday, will make a trial trip at the pond foot or Bcaufain street to-day. Crrv TAXATION.-Under the present system, the bulk of the city revenue is raised by the tax on real estate and on the gross receipts of mer? chants and professional men. A bill ls now be? fore the General Assembly extending the provi? sions of the voluminous State tax bill to the City af Charleston, which will work a radtua! change in the manner of assessing and collecting taxes. In thc first place, all property will bc taxed at its real value, or (which ls not thc same thing) at the value set upon lt by the appraisers. Charleston will also have a "Board or Equalization" to re? view, and Increase or decrease, assessments, as was done, as the people remember, fry the State Equalizing Board for purposes or State taxation. Unless the city board have more com? mon sense and senso ot Justice than the State board had, Charleston will bc in a bad way. Be? sides taxing property according to Its vainc, thc city may, under the new bill, require "the pay? ment of such sum or sums of money for license or licenses, as in their judgment may be Just and wise, by any person or persons engaged, or in? tended to be engaged, In any calling, business or profession, in whole or in part, within the limits of the City or Charleston, except those engaged in the calling or protcsslou or teachers or public or private schools, and ministers or the Gospel." We understand that it is intended to license every calling but those excepted, and these fees are relied on to fill the vacuum or the treasury during next month. Until the tax bi:l is reported, we canna tel!, with certainty, what its chief features will be, but we desire to Impress upon thc Committee or Ways aud Means thu advisability of reducing, if possible, thc present onerous tax oa real estate. Than this, nothing would do more to instil a cheerful spirit into owners of city property, who now receive but a beggarly return from their in? vestment. U.NTTID STATB8 CIRCUIT COURT-HON'. GEO. S.
