Mr. Porter commenced his work as pastor of the Methodist church in this place, on Sunday last. We will only say that the church here has been very fortunate in the appointment or the present year. We trust that the history or Mr. Porter's pastorate will be one or mutual respect and affection between him and his charge, and of great prosperity to the cause of true rellg' iou in this community, "The Rev. Mr. Wells, who has been in ciiarge or the Methodist church here during the past two years, goes this year, by the appointment ot thc bishop, to thc Tlmmonsvi'le circuit. Mr. Wells is a hard student and a fluent aud impressive preacher. He has our warmest wishes for his happiness aud success." f . -* (JUNN'S NEW FAMILY PJIYSICAX.-Mr. I). J. Tooke ls now canvassing the city for subscrip? tions to the one hundredth edition of "Gunn's New Family Physician, or House Book of Health," a work highly recommended by thc Southern and Northern press. It contains a description of all thc various diseases of the country, their symp? toms, progress and character, together with ap? propriate treatment for each disease, generally with simple and safa remedies. It also contains a complete description of the anatomy and physi? ology of the human syttcm, with a complete ma? teria medica, and supplementary treatises on domestic and sanitary economy; making in all a large octavo volume of over twelve hundred pages. The author, Dr. John C. Gunn, published about twenty-five years ago a book entitled "Gunn's Domestic Medicine," which in a few years reached a sale of one hundred thousand co? pies. His new work, now before us, ls on the same plan, but much larger. It ls written In fa? miliar language so that every one can understand lt, and by those who have examined it carefully it is called the most "complete, reliable and In? structive work that has ever come under our ob? servation." The book ts sold by subscription only, and cannot be bought direct or through booksellers. THE "LIVING WONDERS."-The Augusta re? porter, who lias Interviewed the living wonders whose receptions begir at the Hibernian Hall this afternoon, tells us: "Miss Anna S van. the Nova Scotia giantess, moved with a to wering, queenly step, lu thc re? ception, and is withal of accomplished grace, favored with a very liberal share of attractive fea? tures, and evinces culture, amiability and intelli g?aec. > "Mons.

Although overwhelmed with a sense of our pigmy proportions in contrast, we were soon at ease in lus society, and found him free to indulge In pleasant converse. "Miss Zobedl Luti, the Circassian lady, has im? pressive beauty, is perfectly offable, and maul fests the most entertaining manners in conversa? tion, which slie manages to season with captivat? ing smiles. "Wonderful indeed ls the appearance of the Australian children-though not for beauty or ac? complishment. Built upon springs of wire, as lt were, and In a perfect flow or good humor, they afford an cxhaustless fund of merriment in their .own particular way." . y'' PRESENTATION OK A PORTRAIT OF CALHOUN TO THE Sotrrn CAROLINA SOCIETY.-The South Carolina Society, one or the oldest social organi? sations in tiie city, has recently been made the recipient of a lire-like portrait of John C. Calhoun' painted by Mr. T. B. Welch, a native of this city. Mr. Welch ls at present studying his profession at Paris, ant' he correctness and superior finish or the portrait in question ls a proof that he has al? ready attained a high degree of proficiency In bis art, as lt ls one of the most life-like representa? tions of Carolina's son that has ever been given to the public. The presentation was made by Messrs. Henry J. and Robert M. Clarke and their .sister, Miss Caroline E. Clarke, of Geneva, Swit? zerland, through Mr. S. P. Ravenel, who, on his departure for America, took charge of the por? trait and tendered it to the society. The presen? tation was made on Tuesday, evening at a meet? ing of the society, and the following letter was read from the Messrs. Clarke, and the subjoined extract from the miaute? ordered to be pub? lished: At a meeting of the South Carolina Society on Tuesday evening last, on motion or Richard Yea? don, Esq., the fallowing resolutions were unani? mously adopted: Resolved, That the society gratefully accept the gift or the portrait of that distinguished Southern patriot and statesmau, the late John C.

Outrageous Violation' of Z.avr and De? cency by the Chletf of Polit e.y At the meeting of City Council on Tuesday night the Mayor and Alder tu en were invited to attend a review and inspection of the police force on thc following day. This singular request iras evidently made alter the matter had been jointly arranged between the Mayor and thc Chi*'.'of Po? lice, as thc sequel abundantly proves. The invi? tation was graciously accepted liv Council, and on yesterday that immaculate body had the pleas? ure of witnessing thc martial bearing or their model police The force was marched and coun? termarched in llroad street before thc ad? miring eyes or the councilmen and a number or colored juveniles, who were attracted by the music. Arter a variety of evolutions, which were doubtless satisfactory to thc reviewers, thc corps was formed into two platoons, Captain Hendricks assuming thc chief command, and Lieutenants Chapman and Tart each heading a division. Un? der this leadership the battalion was headed for broad street, and the doughty chief, thinking that he was monarch of all he surveyed, marched through the centre of thc street, nttcrly regard? less or the inconvenience to citizens and the In? terruption ol travel. When near the corner of Church street thc police were again countermarched, and thc cider becoming disgusted at the proximity of a King street car which was following lils cohorts, shook his sword in the face 01" the conductor, and or? dered him to keep at a respectful distance, and not to interfere with thc parade or he would be arrested. As the car was going in an opposite direction the threat was a useless display or authority, lt was impossible-for thc car to pass the body or men though they were impeding travel ami interfering witlt tiie public. Arter leaving broad street the police were marched up Meeting, still occupying the centre of the street. When near Cumberland street, at a few minutes past one o'clock, they were over? taken by car No. 7, of the King street line. This car was Ulled with passengers and was somewhat behind time: yet, notwithstanding the appeals of thc conductor to thc captain and his subordinates to grant them the right of way, the ranks re? mained closed and no answer was returned. The car was compelled to roilow thc Winchester rifles at a slow walk until it reached Burns' lane, when, in response to direct appeals from the-conductor, Mr. Roumillat. and the driver, Mr. Stratton, Cap? tain Hendricks came forward, and, wavlug his sword In an excited mannest ordered thc arrest of the driver. This'was promptly ctTected, aud, thinking de.ubtless that his power was unlimited, he ordered some of his myrmidoms to take charge of the car. Thc conductor, however, assumed the reins, and the police proceeding up Meeting street, the car was released from the unpleasant association. Mr. Stratton wa3 taken at once to the lower station-house, where he was confined in the guard room. Mr. Roumillat reported thc pro? ceedings to Cap'ain Slgwald, thc superintendent of the rond, and be repaired to the Guardhouse to effect the release of Mr. Stratton. A depositor $20 as security was demanded, and ?Ir. Slgwald went to the company's office to obtain this amount. During his absence Captain Hendricks returned to the Guardhouse, and. for sonic unex? plained reason, ordered Mr. Stratton to be con lined in a cell, from which he was released upon the appearance of Captain Slgwald aud the de? posit of the security demanded. From recent ex? periences it issarc to assert that the City Railway Company will not see the $20 returned to then*" coffers, as all is tish that goes in the police net. A MODEL FEAST was, after thc manner of thc present Council, a suitable dewe to thc graud display of thc day, and two tables were spread. That in thc parade room was assigned to the Mayor and Aldermen, the officers or police and city offlcials, while thc high privates and hoi poUoi were served in the barracks. The collation had been prepared with? out regard to cost, and the supply was equal to the demand, the fluids receiving the especial at? tention or the revellers. Rumor states that the cost or the whole affair ls about $300, which will have to be deducted from the City Treasury aud entered on thc refreshment account. Thc $20 security demand of the City Railway will help on the cause, and the whole amount will, In one way or another, be taken from the pockets of thc public. ROMEO ANO JULIET.-The immortal love poem of "Romeo and Juliet," worthy almost to have been the death-song of "The Swan or Avon," was produced last evening to a large and appreciative audience. The deepest as well as thc softest chords of passion are struck in this tragedy into so harmonious an accord, that it is perhaps one or the most difficult tasks or thc mimic art to tlx and yet to bleud the Heeling moods which Shakespeare has so wonderfully de? picted in the written play, lt would scarcely be honest to say that this task was executed last evening witli perfect success, wlteu so much is required not only from the main, but from thc mluor characters or the drama. Taken as a whole, however, the performance was highly meritorious, and sonic ol the roles deserve very special praise. Mr. Warner brought to his impersonation or the amorous, ill-starred "Romeo" a delicacy, grace and spirit which could hardly have been expect? ed Dom the robust Turee of his "Shylock" and "Othello." Mr. O'Neil, in the delicate and impor? tant role ol "Mercutlo," achieved a most grati? fying success, and was in all respects commend? able, especially in that crucial test or thc part the famous death sceuc. Miss Eldridge made a very gracelul and pretty "Juliet," and, although not entirely compassing the part In Its breadth and height or passion, she yet infused into it a tenderness that was never lack-a-daisical, and a pathos that never degenerated Into caut. The French have a proverb which being Inter? preted, says that "when one is dead itTsror a long time." The adage ls doubtless very generally true, but the audience last evening put it to open shame by calling'"Juliet aud her Romeo" before the curtain, immediately after their untimely death. A FREE MONKEY Snow.-One of thc mon? keys attached to the show of living wonders now being exhibited at the Market Hall to thc melan? choly sound of a hand-organ, escaped from his cage and by the aid of the lightning rod, clam? bered to thc cornice of the building. Ills public appearance was soon observed, and Monsieur Jocko was honored by a levee of juveniles, that completely blocked up the streets, so that the services of three policemen were required to clear a passage. Thc proprietors of thc show soon discovered their loss, but at? tempted in vaiu to recapture their property. Thc nioakcy had his freedom, and though his movements were limited to thc length of the ledge he made the most or it, and eluded bis captors skiffully. Several ladders were reared against the wall of thc building, and a barrel of Irish potatoes was exhausted as ammunition, without producing any effect upon thc little ani? mal. The crowd were delighted at thc occur? rence, as they heard the music and saw the best part or thc show without pay. Thc monkey re? mained In his citadel until lute In the arternoon, and dually sought thc shed, from wh'ch place he was ignominiously dragged back to coulluement. AcciDtST TO A CAROLINIAN IN AUOUSTA._! The Constitutionalist or Tuesday says:1 c horse . attached to the buggy or Dr. Alexander Bailey, or Barnwell, S. C., ran away yesterday, about one o'clock, on Jackson street. Near the corner or Jackson and Walker streets the buggy upset, when Dr. Bailey was tb row u out, and received quite u severe cut on his head, and other bruises on his body. Although his injuries were quite severe, wc arc pleased to state that they are not considered dangerous, and that Dr. Bailey will doubtless be convalescent In a few days. The buggy was badly broken, and left bottom up? wards In the street by the flying steed." SHALL I SAVE FOUR DOLLARS TH ts YEAR ?

Tiiis play, which will bo produced at thc Acad? emy of Music to-night, is a translation from, thc (.erman, by Sirs. Lovell, who lins completed her task in so excellent a manner, that to her exer? tions in the cause of dramatic literature thc Eng? lish si agc is Indebted for a play, which, like "Richelieu" amt "HieLady of Lyons," will become nf tock favorite-the oftener seen, the more at? tractive. Thc parts of "Ingomar" and ..Partlienln," thc hero and heroine, arc worthy thc talent of a For? rest and a Cushman, in whose hands they would prove an attraction which no true lover of the drama could resist. The story throughout is beautifully told, and interesting to the last mo? ment. Thc filial piety of the Greek maiden ls placed before the audience in n most striking manner; even love, thc strongest and most irre? sistible passion of the human heart, is made to yield to duty; ami when appealed to by her bar? barian lover, whose savage spirit she has at once tamed and subdued, who, in a tone of mental ng ony, exclaims, "Oh, Parthenia, wilt thou leave nie?" her simple, touching answer is, "My pa? rents wait their child !" He at once resolves to be her guide; and, when arrived in sight or Mas silia, her home, (from whence she strayed to oirer herself a sacrifice as the ransom of an aged father,) in the transport of her joy, the sudden thought recurs, that "Here wc part !" Rut not so. Ile goes willi her to thc city; re? solves fe. lier sake to become a Greek: abandons even thc dress of his favorite band of Allcinania; yields up his sword for the handle of thc plough, and doubly carns his bride; spurns Indignantly the offer to betray his countrymen, but makes them at once the friends and allies of thc Greeks; redeems his bride from slavery, by the sacrifice of Iiis own liberty, and, when liually rewarded by thc Coils, for all his suirenug?, he finishes '.To love 1 owe this bliss." "Parthcnia" replies "To love and honor." Theu they ni e forever joined "Two souls with but a single thought Two hearts that beat as one.'" The langnage, poetry, and dramatic action cf this play have not been excelled, If equalled, lu thc history of the modern drama, and will well repay the reader for perusal. It was produced simultaneously in New York, on the evening of the 1st of December, 1851, at the Uowery and thc ?roadway Theatres, and was triumphantly suc? cessful at bot h. EXTRACTS FROM TUE Pi.AV.

Every merchant and business maa should have his card printed oa his envelopes. A WELT. DESERVED COMPLIMENT. Up lo tho very hour that thc doors of thc Charleston Academy of Music were thrown open to the public many estimable persons refused to believe that this city could find thc capital, the skill or thc courage required for the erection of a first class theatre; and when thc accomplished fact proved that, what to them was Impossible, had actually been dune, they consoled themselves by declaring their conviction that thc theatre would not pay. In doing so they prepared for themselves another startling surprise. Thc ex? perience of the season shows that good houses can be drawn to t he Academy of Music night after night, and that Charleston can support a first class place or amusement. Now the flush of novel tyiias worn off. Thc public go to t hc Academy not to gratify curiosity, but because they were well pleased, and want to bc pleased again. They arc sure or finding order, a good performance, and a handsome and comfortable building. New scene? ry and new costumes greet the eye nearly as often as thc pieces change. Comedy, tragedy, farce, bnrlesque opera, come and go In turn, and all the while the reputation or Manager Ford ror tact, judgment and knowledge of his profession steadily increases. To Manager Ford thc city owes a debt of grati? tude. When he leased thc Academy the public were disinclined to visit a public place of amuse? ment. Templeton, Whitman and the rest had taught them a lesson of caution. They were shy of reposing confidence in new names and races. All this timidity and natural reserve Manager Ford has overcome. By always performing a lit? tle more than he promises, and by refraining from promising over-much, he has won the trust of thc people, and In this "quiet old place" has made converts enough to give him good audiences every night of thc season. lt was proper then, for many reasons, Hutt one of wliom so much ls thought, sliould recejvs at our hands some token of good will, and this ls happily expressed in the subjoined correspond? ence, in which Manager Ford accepts a compli? mentary benefit tendered him by a number of our most influential citizens. We need only add that thc benefit performance will take place on Mon? day night, and that the play will bc "Much Ado About Nothing." Mr. Warner will remain li. the city expressly to take part lu this performance, and will be supported by all the members or thc company. . CHARLESTON, S. C.. January 12, lsvo. To John T.

THE CHARLESTON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.-A meeting or this Society will be held at the office of thc "Rural Carolinian." No. 3 Broad street, at eleven o'clock this morning. The Society ls one or recent formation, but so Impor? tant are its functions and its objects, that lt ls already attracting much attention. The officers endeavor to put the members and thc public in possession of information relating to agricul? ture and horticulture, which could not easily be had without thc assistance of such a society, and to-day will be delivered a lecture by Professor C. U. Shepard, Jr., upon "Chemistry as relating to Agriculture." Professor Shepard ls unselfishly doing his part to make thc society prosper, and we are sure lliat his lecture will be both valuable and in? teresting. At the meeting to-day, Hr. Passmore, of Greenville, will give any Information that may he desired about the manufacture of syrup and sugar from sorgo. Thc public generally arc Invited to be present at the meeting, and lt ls hoped that thc members will bc punctual In their attendance. Inspector of Naval Store... CHARLESTON, S.C., January 12, 1870. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. I learn from reading Hie lotter of your Columbia cortcspondent in to-day's NEWS, that the petition now berore thc Legislature to have the otllcc of Naval Stores Inspector abolished re? presents that the inspectors frequently brand In rerior grades or turpentine as first quality, and when called upon to rerund thc money lost by their carelessness or Incompetency, rcrused to do so, stating that they were not responsible. This charge, so far as lt applies to me, ls raise. During the time I have held the office or Naval Stores In? spector, I have never branded a barrel of turpen? tine; that part or the duties or the office has been performed by another party, who, I presume, is able to answer for himself. Neither has any de? mand ever been made upon me to refund money lost by my carelessness or Incompetency as an In? spector of rosins. The charge made against me In regard to underbidding and injuring the coop? ers' trade, ls equally false lu ail its bearings. I employ coopers, and make thc fees as low as pos? sible, in order to benefit thc producer and com? pete with other naval stores markets. Thc state? ment that thc merchants and factors or Charles? ton arc willing to pay six cents per barrel for coopering, is a misrepresentation. I will venture to say that no merchant or factor of Charleston, who has a proper regard for the interests of his customers, will submit to any such charge, when it can be done for two and three-quarter cents. H the bill passes, the office will be abolished In name but not in reality.

When you are exhausted by overwork of head or band, and feel the need of something invigorat? ing, don't drink whiskey or any Intoxicating thing, whether under the n?.ne ol Bitters or other wLse. Such articles give just as much strength to your weary body and mind as the whip gives to Hie jaded horse, and no more.
