THE TELEGRAPHIC SruiKKRs.-Thc absence of thc usual appetizing array of telegraphic mat? ter published ia TnE NKW8 was the llrst Intima? tion to many of the readers of this paper that the telegraphic operators had combined to resist cer? tas changes, and were on a strike. The move? ment lirst commenced In California, where some redactions of salaries had been made, and under a rumor that similar reductions would bc at? tempted elsewhere, the operatives throughout the country, numbering some 4000, struck work and now insist that their brethren in California shall be restored to their former places aud emoluments. Titc organization of the telegraphic operators in a union, or protective association, has been In process for nearly twelve months, but has ouly recently been perfected. The Western Union Telegraph Company is an Immense corporation, traversing the major portion of the Union with tts network of wirc3, embracing in its employ nearly 5000 experienced operators. The strike extends throughout the United States, but thus far the strikers have not received the active co? operation of their associates in the third district of the Southern division, which Includes South Carolina, thc greater portion of Georgia and Florida. Tho Washington ofllee, which 13 the grand distributing depot, is In a deplorable condi? tion, and of 22 operators.ouly the chiefs and some greenhorns are at work. The same state of affairs exi3ts at Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other large cities North, South, East aad West. The employees cf the com? pany have been nearly unanimous in express? ing their determination to co-operate with their San Francisco brethren to prevent any reduction of salaries, and insist that the operators who were discharged for refusing to submit to the re? duction be reinstated. The Western Union Tele? graph Company ls a very wealthy corporation, but it ia doubtful if they can effect anything agaiust the combination of the operators, and will eventually be compelled to succumb to their demands. Until that event the public must be content with the mails, and as they are not al? ways reliable, thc "news ef the day" will be about three day.? old before lt ls read. Work is accumu? lating rapidly at the different ofUces, and when thc strike is ended lt will require hard work and close application to clear the decks. In tbs Charleston office the superintendent has not refused to receive dispatches, but states plainly that there ls but a slim chance of tn&ir speedy transmission. The operators are endea? voring to pass some important cable dispatches over the lines, and nothing is received or trans? mitted. The noon Press dispatches were re? ceived yesterday through a round-a-about way from Washington, via Atlanta and Angnsta. The telegraph operators In Washington have pledged themselves to abstain from all spirituous or in? toxicating liquors during thc prevalence of the strike. The operators are thoroughly in earnest, and will hardly yield until they have gained the point for which they are striving. ARRIVAL OF CUBANS-THEIR STEAMER IS SEIZED DY THE UNITED STATIS MARSHAL AND THE PASSENGERS ORDRRED ASHORE.-On Monday morning the Annie, a low, dark steamer, came Into our harbor and attracted but little attention. She reported that she had been driven in by a stress sf weather, and desired to coal before proceeding on uer voyage to Nass tu. This was easily accom? plished, and the Annie .ras fully prepared to leave Cbc next (lay when Cupluin SotL":ra, thc com? manding olUcer, applied to the Customhouse for a clearance, ile was told that there would be no dltllculty, but later in the day Collector Clark sent for the Captain and demanded hts papers. On repairing to the Customhouse he found the Collector and the Spanish Consul. The former said that he would bc compelled to detain the vessel for breach of the neutrality laws. Thc Captain protested against this detention, and showed his clearance from New York signed and attested by the Collector and United States Marshal. Collector Clark said that they did not kuow their business or they would not have given a clearance. Thc Spanish Consul had made a oomplalnt and he was bound to respect it. Cap? tain Somers finding lt dldlcult to obtain his popers, left. The Harbormaster, with Lieutenant L. M. Keene, of thc Revenue Cutter, examined the Annie thoroughly the same afternoon, and re? ported that everything was right aud she could not bc held. Collector Clark, on hearing this statement, decided that he could not detaiu the vessel, but would f ne her $500 for not having a "synopsis" and for carrying more passengers than her tonnage allowed, .(72 tons, new measurement.) The Captain was told that the vessel would be released on the payment of this fine, and he was about to meet the demand, when he learned that the An? nie had been seized by the United States Mar, .sha!. Thisomcer Immediately put four deputies on board, and told thc passengers that they must .leave thc boat and seek for lodgings elsewhere. There was not much time granted, and in a few moments baggage was packed, and twenty-eight ?Cubans, headed by Coloacl W. C. Ryan, well known as an ardent Cuban sympathizer, pro? ceeded to the Pavilion Hotel. Rooms were as? signed them, and they are now awaiting the re? lease of their craft. Colonel Ryan, who ls the leader of the little party, is a young man of sharp reatures, long hair and a general appearance or cool daring, bordering on mero recklessness. Among the party are several Cubans or note, who desired to ?turn to the L'ver Faithful Isle pfe Nassau. O. C?spedes, a sou of the Cuban president, and Francis I. Cisneros, a brother of the vice-presi? dent of tho Junta, are of thc number. Very few of the passengers can speak English, and they all Jook like men of culture and refinement. From a coaver.sation with the party, we learn that the Annie left her dock at Williamsburg, N. Y., on Wednesday, December 29th, at hair-past 10 A. M. Thc United States Marshal and revenue ?dicer examined the vessel carefully and gave her proper clearance papers, staying ca board nntil the ropes were cast loose. Three or the crew left an hour after sailing. While rounding Cape Hatteras, on Saturday, thc Annie encoun? tered a terrible storm that drove her out of her course, and ror forty hours no distance was made. As the coal was exhausted, it was determined to make the nearest port to obtain a supply, and Charleston was sighted about 3 P. M. on Satur? day. Ia the different searches that have bean made on board the Annie since her arriv il, lt became evident that there wis ao armiuiaat of uay Character conceded, ail atths oas.* ha* been placed in thc hands or MOVUM. Slutvuton A lurker for prosecution, it -nay l>d li :.ir.l ut au carly day, and thc vss?l M:J*?.I. B*on of thc twenty cljr^it Caima* !?*?? a receipt for thirty dollars paid SA passage money, anti the whole bearing of the case shows that the detection of the boat is of qnestionable legality. The Annie is now lying at the government whartunder the survcUlancc of the United States Marshal. CHARLESTON HOARD OF TRADE. The regalar monthly meeting of thc Coard took place last night at thc Hibernian Halt. Messrs. T. 1>. Gillespie, G. J. Lunn and C. Voigt were elected members. Mr. W. S. Hastie, who has recently represented the Charleston Hoard at the meeting of the Na? tional Board of Trude in Richmond, made the fol? lowing report: The undersigned, delegate tn the National Board of Trade, recent ly held at. Richmond, bega leave to report that the' business arrangements nf his colleague, Colonel 'fredholm, were such as to detain that gentleman in New York, a circum? stance regretted by many members of the con? vention, as well as uv myself. Augusta and Charleston were the only Southern cities represented. Believing Hie great object lu attending these annual meetings is to obtain general idformation with regard to the trade and commerce or the country, and changes which are daily being de? veloped, and to use such information tor our own guidance, I shall revert only to those points which have a bearing upon our Interests. The decision upon the "License law discrimi? nating against uon resideut traders,'' was Im? portant bv reason of thc facts elicited in thc course of debate. Northern houses keep travel? lers in the country a year at a time. Thc neces? sity of short credits has initiated the English sys? tem or scuding rorih travel! < with samples, which has been very successful, and large amounts of goods are sold by parties who never see their customers. This great change in the manner or doing business is easily accounted for. The country merchant being called upon by a traveller, purchases thc exact article he wants by sample, and in a few days he has the goods in store. Resolutions were passed that the beard petition the Legislatures of all thc States to abolish ail laws discriminating against non-resi? dent traders and agents. Also, that Congress be requested to establish a new department, to be known as the "Department of Commerce." Also, an appropriation to complete the improve? ments now in progress on thc Mississippi and Uhio Kivers, and at the mouth or the Mississippi, to which I append an amendment including au appropriation for the harbors of Mobile, Savau uab ana Richmond. a A resolution offered bv thc St. Louis Board or Trade, asking thc passage ol a law by the United States Congress so regulating thc freight tariffs ol" all railroads as will compel them to transport local freight and passengers at the same pro rata per mlle as ls charged for what ls knowu as "through freight and passengers." This proposition was discussed part ol two days, and was strenuously opposed by your dele? gate, and after being brought forward in a modi? fied form, was finally tabled. An appropriation was asked from Congress to complete the James River and (tanawha Canal, through the State ol' Virginia, between the Mis? sissippi and Atlantic Ocean. In the course or the I debate, oue or the Western members stated that it cost bis constituents twenty-five bushels or wheat to buy a ton or con!, and that a cheap water communication with the Atlantic was indispensa? ble. Thc Boston Board or Trade asked a "recommen? dation to Congress or such measures as in thc judgment or the Board are calculated to hasten the restoration of the specie standard of value.'" After a long discussion and the defeat or several projects, the whole matter was finally referred to a committee or eleven. In the course or argument thc following racts were brought to the notice of thc convention: That the government had re? duced the national debt In nine months, seventy two millions of dollars, which ls nearly twelve millions more than the British Government owed the Bank or England in 1T97, at the lime orits sus? pension-the amount being in flgurcs $61,201,733 33, and that the Na Ional Bank currency is Hie best, because the most uniform in value, that the conutry had ever had. That thc Bank or England, notwithstanding the debt or England was held within her own borders, remained in a state of suspension for more than twenty years, and that on us resuming specie payment, thc fact was de? veloped that resumption did not Increase thc con? fidence ol the people, as it lost one-half or its gold on the first dav lt resumed. That although our currency ls greenbacks, the value <\rthe producta of the country ?re paid for at gold prices. Thc Finance Committee could not agree, anda majority and minority report was made. Your delegate lavored the minority report, on the ground that the country ls uot prepared Tor specie payment; that the debt, $2<#00.00u,u00, ls too un? wieldy. More than oue-halfofthis Immense debt ls owned abroad, and the interest must be remit? ted in bills of exchange, which arc equivalent to gold; that weare reducing the debt rapidly; that we are getting gold prices for ourproducc; that some ot our railroads are laboring under heavy indebtedness, and a change in currency would increase that Indebtedness; that many of our banks are just emerging Into life, nursing their assets. Under all these circumstances your delegate, In connection with Mr. Geo. Opdyke, of New York, offered the following resolution: Resolved. That this Board approve the general financial policy or the government, which has al? ready largely reduced the national debt and ap? preciated the value or the currency, and lt earn? estly recommends to Congress and thc Executive aa adherence to that line or policy. Other matters were discussed, but none or sufil clent Importance to bring before the Board. Respectfully submitted. WM. S. HASTIE. On motion of Mr Bruns, the following resolu? tion was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the report just submitted by W. S. Hastie, Esq., ex-president of this Board, be re? ceived and spread on the minutes, and that the thanks of this Board be. and are hereby, tendered to oar worthy ex-president for the able and earli? est manner in which he has always attended to all matters concerning the commercial interests or the City ot Charleston. On motion or Mr. J. B. Steele, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the treasurer be authorized to pay over to thc building committee ull money liow In his hands, or that may be received, aris? ing from entrance fees and arrears between now and thc next annual meeting, excepting what may bc needed Tor the actual expenses of thc Board. A communication was read from the Board or Trade of Newark, N. J., asking the co-operation of this Board or Trade, to request our representa? tives tn Cougress to introduce a bill In thc House for the establishment by the United States Gov? ernment of lines of telegraph iu all Hie States and Territories, to bc employed by thc government lu combinatiou with the Postortlce Department. Referred to the Executive Committee. So also was a communication from the secre? tary or the National Board or Trade, in relation to trade statistics and thc publication or daily mar? ket reports by thc boards or trade. Notice was given by Mr. IL H. DcLcou that he will introduce, at the next meeting, au amend? ment to thc constitution and by-laws, making the entrance Iee arter the next anniversary meet ng $20 Instead or $10, as now, aud that thc an? nual subscriptions be paid iu variably In advance. On motion of Mr. E. W. Marshall, it was Resolved, That the secretary give notice to all members who shall not pay their arrears by thc next regular meeting, that the penalty under the constitution and by-laws shall be enforced. On motion, thc Board adjourned. \REAL ESTATE SALES.-Mr. A. C. McGllllvray ?Sold on Tuesday morning a lot of laud on the south side of Broad street, running through to St. Michael's alley, for $4100.

TUE MILLS HOUSE HOP.-The first ball of tho season is always a success, and a number of gentlemen, who feel Ibo necessity of public amusement and who have a strong affection for Terpsichorean entertainments, met ?mil discussed the question In its various phases, and decided to combine with tho host of the Mills House and give a ball that would have no superior.

RICHARDSON.- Thc Columbia Phtcnix ls Informed that Chief Consta? ble nubbard, with thc assistance or Chief Rad? cliffe and Mr. Gurley, or the Columbia police, have succeeded in arresting tl?? parties guilty of thc bru? tal assault upon Mrs. Richardson, on Monday, the 27th ult. Credit is due Dr. Trczcvant, who fur? nished thc information which led to the arrest. There is every hope that Mrs. R. will recover from thc attack. Although ninety-seven years of agc, she shows a strong will and determination. The prisoners bear marks on their faces and hands of their reception by the old lady. THE CUSTOMHOUSE WAR.-Thc trial of Dr. A. C. Mackey in the United States court, for ob? structing a customhouse ofllccr in thc discharge or his duty, has developed thc singular contempt the great Republican leaders have ror veracity. Collector Clark. In his testimony, states that Dr. Mackey did abuse Grant, and use language that thc other denies. Dr. Mackey in turn tcstitles that Collector Clark titus made a sworn statement of what was raise. In a word, they have charged each other with perjury, and made the asseva Hon with smiling laces. The dnirt-roora was enlivened with these recriminations bulli on Monday and Tuesday. Thc testimony will be closed to-day and the arguments commenced. SHAKESPEARE AT THU ACADEMY OF MUSIC MK. WARNER AS SHYLOCK.-The Merchant or Ven? ice was perfermcd last night to a full and bril? liant house. Less impressive, of course, than Hamlet or Richelieu, Mr. Warner's Shylock was an admirable conception of the grasping, malig? nant and cruel Jew. In thc trial scene, espe? cially, where mingled hate and triumph and re? venge sway his 6J:II, lils acting exhibited a degree of hideous malice and ferocity that we had hardly believed could have been thrown into the part. The support given by the company to Mr. Warner in the play, though creditable in some respects, was not, by any means, what wc could have wished; and the efforts of the prompter lo help out those who were deficient in their parts were much too frequent and undisguised to be pleas? ant. It must be said, however, that Manager Ford and his company, in undertaking thc pre? sentation of a new aud elaborate play every night, have had to eucountcr peculiar embarrass? ments, to which managers in larger cities, which can afford to run a successful piece for a week or more, urestraugcrs; and, everything con? sidered, the marvel is how thc company has man? aged to secure the degree of smoothness In the performances which has actually been attained. Miss Eldridge, as Portia, acted with grace and spirit, and in thc trial scene both she and Mr. Wood (Gratiano) won repeated plaudits. The artcrplecc, "Dodging for a Wire," went off pleas? antly, thanks to the broad drollery or Mr. Ryan. A most agreeable Incident or thc evening was the reappearance in the orchestra or Mr. Withers, thc eminent violinist, whose wonderful execu? tion became so popular during the engagement of the Chapman Sisters. His presence had not been noticed by many or the audience until the close or the Merchant or Venice, when thc magic voice or his Cremona, In the wonderful variations which he knows so well how to create, hushed all conversation, In thc delight of cager listeners. A single air would not satlsry thc house, and when, In response to the general wish, Mr. Withers be? gan the grand old melody or Dixie, pit and gaile rles alike broke forth lu tumultuous and pro? longed applause. Bulwer's splendid play, the Lady or LyonB, will be presented to-night, with Mr. Warner as Claude Melnotte. The young ladles, especially, should all make lt a point to see him In that character. CRUMBS.-Thc Manhattan arrived In New York on Tuesday morning, and thc Charleston sailed from this port on Tuesday afternoon. We have received from the Hon. R. Tomlinson, State Auditor, a copy of his report to the Genend Assembly, for which wc beg to return our thanks. Owing to a death In thc family or Chief Justice Moses, thc Supreme Court will not meet uutll Monday nc\t. The Governor has appointed C. J. Colcock, Jr., notary public for Gillisouville, aud John Wingate notary public ror Charleston. Thc snow of Monday was seen in some sheltered nooks yesterday morning, but melted before the rays of Hie sun. Hotel Arrivals-January ri. CHARLESTON UOTEL. Robert H. Smith, Washington; J. C.

Among thc hundreds of testimonials we have from practical Planters and Farmers, we would call attention to the following extract from alet ter received rrom Colonel IL G. LOCKETT, of the large planting linn of Jordan A Lockett, dated Albany, Ga.. November 27, 1809: "Before closing tliis letter, I cannot refrain from expressing my siucere thanks to yon for the in? vention of the BEST PLOUGH NOW IN USE. It is Hie delight of the negro. Besides dotug the best work that 1 have ever seen any Plough do, it runs with more ease to the plouzhman. and the draft to the animal ls lighter than any Plough I have ever used. "Your Plough has already become a necessity to me, and I would feel ruined without it. I am satisfied we have saved, annnually, thousands of dollareii?Kules alone. It is thc Cheapest Plough I have evervused, of any kind or description, and I am anxlotis to bring, ir I can, to thc notice of my rellow-planters, this most valuable Plough." Colonel Lockett commenced using these Ploughs tn the spring of 1S68, and now has more than two hundred and fifty (250) of them on his plantations. We have testimonials as emphatic from leading plautcrs in North Carolina, south Carolina, Geor? gia, Alabama and Texas, but this will suffice for the most Incredulous. During the present fall, this Plough has taken Premiums at Eight Fairs he'd In Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama, and re? ceived the Highest Ratings at the Great Field Trial tn Pennsylvania, in August last, when nure than Fifty Different Ploughs were tested.
