A NEW FAXE KOK THE W*EEI>.-The little niche ia thc building at the corner of Meeting and Hasel streets, and opposite to the Pavilion Hore!, has been converted by the tasty brush of Mnf. j. Hamilton into a perfect gem of a tobacco palace. The pleasures of the narcotic weed ure gloriously displayed by the ' girls of thc period,'' WllO. astride their bycycles. puff their fragraut igars. The painting of thc scenery on the walls is a wonderful result of skill, and cannot fail to attract the eye, while Mr. O. ll. Schur, formerly of Hu charleston Hotel Cigar Stand, ls prepared to chi;rm the other senses with the best brands of the weed in every shape and style. THE SAVANNAH:AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD. As a large number of persons are interested in the progress of this road, we take pleasure in an? nouncing that it Is completed and ready for the cars, with the exception of about 6000 feet of tres? tle work on the Georgia side of the Savannah River, which it will be impossible to construct in the present condition of the river; but the work .will be. done In a few days after that stream shall bave resumed its normal proportions. The Sa? vannah Republican says, that the steamer Nick. King a few days since towed a lighter, loaded with timber, up te the Charleston and Sa? vannah Railroad bridge. This structure is ra? pidly approaching completion. LECTURES BT THE NESTORIAN.-We are glad to learn that thc Rev.

The ladies have se? cured the use or the new music hall in the upper part or the Academy or Music, as we understand, and will thus have the additional attraction or fered by this new and beauttful room, lt is need? less, perhaps, Tor ns to add anything more to thc minto that has been ^already and deservedly said lu favor of this society. With so many poor women in our midst, snrely any effort to aid and ass'st them must meet our approval and com? mand our earnest co-operation. Wc predtct for Mr. Bogdon and thc ladies a decided, as it will be n merited, success._* A VENERABLE DOCCSIEXT.-Messrs. W. G. Whllden A Co. have on exhibition at their jewelry store, In King-street, the commission of the Con- i tlner-tal Congress, granted to Francis Marion as i T :.. menant-Colonel commanding the South Caro? lina Regiment. The commission dates back from ) September 16th, 1776, and confides implicit conti- : ?dence in the "Swamp Fox'' General, who ls au? thorized to take the command of the United . States forces in South Carolina. The document < in question was drawn up at Philadelphia on April the 12th, 17S2, "In the 6th year of American Inde- ! pend unce," and ls signed by John Hanson, presi? den: of Congress, and B. Lincoln, Secretary or i "War. The commission is a heirloom now in the possession of some or General Marion's descend- i ant.-, who have caused it to be framed, and re- i gard it as a cherished memento of the first war for our independence. I CRUMBS.-Marcus Cain, from John's Island, I fell from his boat in Cooper River, on Wednesday < last, and was drowned before' assistance could bc rendered. The Stonewall Fire Company celebrated their 1 last anniversary In an unusually quiet way, but 1 .design making the display on the arrival of their ' new steamer, to ft Inch end they have beeu hus- 1 banding the ir resources. The anniversary of the birth of the Scottish 1 bard will be celebrated to-day by the Burns' Char- 1 itabf^ Association and other national societies. 1 The occasion will be honored by a supper, and 1 the days of Auld-Iang-Syne brought to mind ( around thc festive board. 1 Captain Jinks, whose history has orten been 1 heard In the rich melody or song, has been sup- 1 planted by a beautiful and relined production, 1 bearing the classic title or "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bod- 1 der Me."' I GEORGE D. PRENTICE.-The death is an- t nouueed or George D. Prentice, ror many years | the editor or the Louisville Journal, with which I lils name is almost identified. Mr. Prentice was 1 .a native or Connecticut, and was born at Pres- 1 ton, in ism. He was a graduate of 1S23 at Brown : University, and resided ror a time in Hartford, ( where lie was associated with Whittier in the i conduct ol a literary weekly. In 1S31 lie removed ( to Louisville, where he has ever since resided. As < a journalist he was brilliant, easy, rapid, but un? sparing in controversy and reckless or the decen- < cies or the pres?. Personally Intrepid, he passed J through many or the hand-to-hand lights ? ltk c pistol and kuRe that are or so frequent occurrence in the West, without damage to his reputation with his compeers. As a poet, he was distin- ? gulshed by great sparkle ami tenderness, and i some ol his verses have been embodied in the i selections of the oest English poetry of the age. \ Of these, perhaps, "The Closing Year" is his best j performance. With some weaknesses Mr. Pren- \ tice combined many excellencies of character. I His railing health has long prepared the public < mlud for the intelligence or his death, which will 1 be received everywhere with regret. i Wtjtcox, Gums & Co.'s FERTILIZING WORKS', J That portion ol the city cast of the Bay aud adja- . cent to Union wharves is rapidly being occupied , Dy our large mercantile Arras as the best j location for their warehouses and mauufac- i tories. Thc fire or 1S61 destroy ed nearly every ' large building in this section, and those that have been erected since were built es? pecially for the business intended. Prominent among these ls the establishment or Messrs. Wilcox, Gibbs A Co., occupying the former site or the Palmetto Iron Works, but cover? ing more space, and having storage room and every capacity for the transaction or an exten? sive business. This firm, which lias branches at Savannah, Augusta and Wilmington, has but re? cently opened in this city, and are now making the necessary arrangements for the extension or their business. The old building has been enclosed and a large shed built on the ground, affording room for the '? storage of Immense quantities of fertilizers. The ? firm are the only parties In the Southern States who receive the celebrated Phonlx guano In bulk, and it is here manipulated wth other compounds, forming several qualities of fertilizers, each admi? rably adapted for the the crops raised In the South. Au engine or 25 horse power works the machinery that extends through the building, and is uaedto pulverize the guano and prepare it properly for the market. The machinery was all arranged by experienced mechanics, and no element is warn? ing to make the rertilizcrs offered by this firm equal to others now in public use. Mr. McMurphy is the Charleston representative . of theflrm, and they have In addition to thc man? ufactory au office on East Bay. where the business ls truusacted. DEATH OE JUDGE BOOZER. The Honorable Lemuel Boozer, w??b died at Camden on Sunday night last, was born in Lexington, and sate in thc General Assembly for many years as senator from that district. Al? though not prominent in debate, he attended quiet? ly to Hie discharge of Iiis duties and was regarded as a tolerably sound Slates Rights man. After the war he was again elected to the General As? sembly, and voted against thc passage of the Fourteenth Coustitutional Amendment. The pas? sage of the Reconstruction acts caused Mr. Boozer, then District Judge, to modify his already mod? erate views, and being put ou the Radical ticket he was elected a delegate to the famous Recon? struction Convention which assembled iu Charles? ton in June, 1S6S. Mr. Boozer became something of a favorite with the prominent Radicals, and with the idea of strengthening their ticket, he was nominated and elected Licutcnaut-Governor of the State. Cpon the assembling of the Reconstruction Le? gislature, the Lieutenant-Governor took his sein as President of the Senate. He was subsequently elected by thc General Assembly judge of tue Fifth Circuit, qualifying as Judge on October 2, 136S. This position Judge Boozer held up to the time of his death. \\*e are not aware that Judge Boozer displayed any singular ability or energy at any period of Iiis career, lt seemed his inclination to float with the tide, and it is to be regretted that a rain am? bition led him to connect himself with the party which has done Its best to ruin and destroy the State. Both branches of thc General Assembly adopted resolutions of respect on yesterday, and we doubt not that they contaiii all that can be said by Radical tongues or the llrst South Caro? linian, of auy prominence, whom they persuaded to join their party. Judge Boozer, at the time of his death, was in the slxty-third year or his age. . FIRE ix CHESTER.-A destructif^ fire oc? curred in Chester on Saturday night, it is sup? posed rrom incendiarism, and before the fiery element could be stayed a number or stores In the business part or the town were consumed. Fre?d berger, I. Hyman. J. J. McNinch, the Bee Store, and the dwelling of Mrs. Campbell, were burut. The Odd Fellows and Masonic Halls, and the of flee or the Chester Reporter, were also destroyed. But little was saved, though the citizens were earnestly at work, and used every endeavor to prevent the spread or the Ure. The confectionery establishment of J. J. McNiuch, and the press and type of the Reporter, were the only property that was insured, all the rest being a total loss. TUE RIGHTS OF BILL-POSTERS.-In" this ad? vertising age, every available point that eau catch the public eye is used ror posting purposes, and glaring letters tell or the wonders to bc seen at the different places of amusement. Thc boards in front or the burnt buildings opposite thc Charleston Hotel were erected Tor this purpose, and the play bills ef the Academy of Music have been posted on them. Manager Ford had leased the boards from whom he deemed responsible parties, but Mr. R. Arnold claimed a prior right to them, and demanded ?SO per month for their use. This was deemed exorbltaat, and the de? mand was not acceded to. Mr. Arnold sued for the amount, and thc case was heard yesterday berore Magistrate Schroder. J. Barren Cohen, Esq., appeared for Mr. Arnold, and Manager Ford was represented by J. A. Moroso, Esq. Arter the examination or witnesses, the case was put to the Jury, and a verdict rendered In favor of the defendant. UNITED STATES COCRT-HON. GEORGE S. BRYAN, PRESIDING.-MONDAY, JANUARY 24.-In the Circuit Court.-On motion or District Attor? ney, D. T. Corbin, ordered that a special term or court be held on the 31st day of January, 18.70, commencing at ll o'clock, A. M. In Bankruptcy.-The following petitions for Snal discharge were referred to Registrar Jaeger: Ex parte L. Simons, of Columbia; R. W. Cannon, it. Miles, of Edgefleld; J. N. Teague, of Barnwell. Similar petition of W. H. Hagood, referred to J. 2. Carpenter, registrar. Final discharges were granted as follows: Lewis Simons, J. H. Suber. Ex parte J. Kershaw, in re D. W. Jordan.

Will, final hearing was post? poned until costs are paid. Ex parte Bollmann Brothers, In re Theo. R. Brown. Assignee ordered to pay the Hen of the :redltors. A TRIBCTE TO THE WORTHY IIEAD.-This forenoon Mr. E. R. White, proprietor of the noted pnarble works m Meeting street, next to the old theatre lot, will erect In Magnolia Cemetery a chasteand elaborately sculptured monument to the memory or Rev. Dr. Uuckiiis, late pastor or the Wentworth street Baptist Church. The monu? ment is or pure Italian marble, and Its design ls, iTe think, the most appropriate to mark the final resting place of the reverend deceased. Restiug >n a large base, also or Italian marble, on which he name Huckins appears in large raised letters, s a square block ol marble, but which, chiselled vith artistic skill, represents thc pulpit with its lrapery, cushions and ornaments, which the evereud pastor had so orten tilled, ami on the mlpit ls laid an open Bible. What more omblema ic? The pulpit, the Bible, and then the inscrip lon on the lace or the monument, tells where the ixstorlies: "Erected lu memory or Its beloved lastor, James Hucklus, by the Wentworth street ?apt 1st Church. Born in Nev Hampshire, April, ;S07. Died at Charleston, August 0, 1S83.'' The lides have also appropriate epitaphs, well deserv? id by the man or peace, who, when his adopted state was in trouble, took to the camp Held and lied prematurely from his exertions for the lost rause. The monument ls one which reflects much :redlt on the congregation and on Mr. White, the irtlst, and will be viewed by many with sad lened pioosure who visit tuc City or tue Dead. SHOO FLY ! DOS'T BODDER ME !-TUE SONO IND irs AUTHORSHIP.-Many persons who are not n the habit of frequenting negro minstrel shows lave expressed a desire to know what are the ?vordi of a song to which reference ls so often made in thc newspapers, and the chorus of ivhich salutes the ear In every public place, lt is a nonsensical melody without rhyme or rea? son, but ls a legitimate successor or such airs as "Captain Jinks," and "Up in a Balloon," and is therefore immensely popular with the masses. When well sung, with the burlesque "Can-Cau'" iccompaniment, it never fails to create eutliu .iasm in a thea! "hese arc the words: I think I hear dc angels sing, [ think 1 hear de angels slug, I think I hear de augcls sing? ue angels now are on de wiug. 1 feel, I foci, I reel Dat's what my nimbler said De angels pouring 'lasses down Upon dis ulggcr's head.

CHORUS-Shoo fly ! don't bodder me ! Ac. Strange as it may appear, says the Richmond Dispatch, there is considerable discussion iu'the papers as to its authorship. A claim for Peters? burg was first put lu by the Norfolk Journal, which stated that thc soug was originally com? posed and sung by a crazy man named Baker Crowder, but now we see that Lynchburg claims it, and theu again the Wilmington Jour? nal says its dulcet notes first broke upon the world at Nassau, N. P., during the blockade, and was first imported imo Wilmington by some of the blockade runners. - GRAND MASQUERADE BALL.-Thc S?nger? bund Teutonia Society will give a grand masque ball on Wednesday, February 9tli, at the music hall of the Academy of Music, that promises a rich fund of amusement. The committee of ar? rangements are determined to make this the ball of the season, and the costumes and masques will t?eof the most mystical character. Noone w,i!l be allowed to cuter the ball-room before 12 o'clock without being masked. PANORAMA OF NEW YORK.-Mr. 0. A. Dul? lard's panorama of New York City is one of the finest work3 or its kind that has ever been ex? hibited to the public. It was prepared with great care, and without regard to expense, and pre? sents one hundred and fifty-four different views of the streets and scenes of New York. Thc paintings cover eighteen thousand feet of can? vas, and the cost was fully SIG.OOO. Every one who has visited it testifies to the accurateness ol tiie different detail?, and those who have never seen the metropolis should remember There has been a time, so the knowina ones say, When, to go to New York, took a week and n dav; Hut now, since the great panorama has come, Tiley can see the whole city, and not go rroni home. Tlie representations of the principal thorough fares and public buildings and points of interest in the vicinity of the great city are very truthful, and the entire exhibition lins received the most nattering commendations rrom the clergy and the press, and has been attended in every city by immense crowds. Thc pauorama will be exhibited at the Hibernian Hall. lor Ave days, commencing Friday after? noon. JOAN OF ARC AT THE ACADEMY LAST NIGHT. A full house greeted the reappearance of Bishop and the Chapman Sisters on the boards of the Academy or Music last evening. Both the pieces annouueed on the bills were well presented, and the performance augurs well for the success or thc engagement. The opening extravaganza or "Joan of Arc" is a brilliant and effective bur? lesque, sparkling with odd and unexpected puns, ami in some or the rhymes evincing considerable cieverness. The fight between "Burgundy" and "Talbot" was particularly runny; and the cos? tumes and other paraphernalia or the piece were gotten up in really superb style. The comedy "Wanted, 1000 Milliners," kept the audience in a continuous roar. Bishop's power over the visible nerves of his hearers ls perfectly irresistible, and his face ls itself a comic fortune. Blanche and Ella Chapman were, as usual, sprightly and rascinating, and the troupe, with the special instance or Mr. Kennedy, gave them an admirable support. To-uight "Joan or Arc"' will be repeated, and thc lovers or music, dancing and general run will have another opportunity or passing a joyous eve? ning. Hotel Arrival*-January 34. CHARLESTON HOTEL.

At a meeting or thc Clergy or thc Epitcopal Church or this city, held on the occa?lon or the death or Rev. CHRISTIAN HANCKEL, D. D., the followli.g preamble and resolutions were uanl mously adopted and ordered to be published In the daily papers: Tiie Senior Presbyter or the Diocese has been called rrom the church on earth, which be had served with diligence and fidelity for fifty-eight years. His venerable bend will no more Wc seen ia his familiar resorts, nor lu thc councils or the church, nor in the meetftis of his brethren.

In the Old Testa? ment botanical remedies arc repeatedly recom? mended, but In no passage of sacret' history* ls man recommended to swallow calomel, or blue pill, or any other mineral preparation. The sick were directed to eat herbs to strengthen them, to purify them, to-heal them, to restore them. In that day the art of making vegetable extracts was unknown. The herbal medicines were mere Infusions. It was reserved for a later age to unite the san? itary essence*, of tonic, aperient and antl-blilous roots, barks and plants, with an active stimulant, and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the debilitated or disordered system. The crowning triumph or this effective mode of concentrating and applying thc virtues or medicinal vegetables was achieved lu the production or HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Never before had a perfoct ly pure alcoholic stimulant been combined with the expressed juices or the finest specifics or the vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years have elapsed since Its Introduction, has this great restorative been equalled. It ls taken at all seasons, in all climes, as the most potent sate guard against epidemics, as a protection against all unhealthy exhalations that produce debility or beget dLsease; as a remedy for Intermittent and other malarious revers; as an appetizer; as a sov? ereign cure for dyspepsia; as a general tonic and Iuvlgorant; as a gentle, painless aperient; as a blood d?purent; as a nervine; ns a cure for bilious affections; as a hnrmiess anodyne; and as the best d?fonce or health under ravorable clrcum stances, such as sedentary pursuits, undue bod? ily or mental excrtlou, hardship, privation ami exposure. _Jang r,n?c pS-XO MORE MEDICINE.-SEVENTY thousand cures without medicine by Du Barry's delicious REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, which eradicates dyspepsia, indigestion, acidity, nausea, vomiting, wasting, diabetes, sleeplessness, cough, asthma, consumption, debility, constipation, diar? rhoea, palpitation, nervous, bilious, liver and stomach complaints.
