THE CHEAPEST YET.-The NEWS Job OUice is now printing bill-heads in thc best style am' on fine paper, at $250 per thousand. Merchants, tamk of it? REAL ESTATE SALK.-Mr. John S. Ryan sold yesterday a plantation on John's Island, contain? ing 266 acres, for $900: one-third cash, and the balance tn one, two and three years. .. THE PLANTATION."-We have received the ilqjE number of this new weekly agricultural journal. It is published at Atlanta, is well print? ed, and is chock full of interesting matter rela? ting to the farm and plantation. X- THE BILL OK MORTALITY.-For the week ending January 22, the City Registrar, Dr. Lobby, reports 27 deaths-s white and 19 colored. Three celored male adults died of pneumonia, one col? ored female died of old age, aud one died of ne? glect. THROWING DIRT.-Many tons ot dirt have "been dumped Into the cavernous holes in the sidewalks and roadway of the Rutledge street bridge, near the corner of Calhoun. This dirt throwing is a waste of money and time. Until the bulkheads below thc water lineare made water tight, every tide will suck away some por? tion of the road and sidewalk, and tilling up thc Jboles so made with loose dirt is only labor lost. The city Inspector might very properly make the bulkheads sound and tight, and give the upper wards a safe and pleasant sidewalk upon thc Rutledge street bridge. THE NEW CITT TAXATION.-The Council Com? mittee of Ways and Means, having brought forth a license bill that has given no satisfaction to either the taxpayers or to the Legislature, now "design presenting a bill that will, it is stated, equalize the appropriations; and no expenditures will be allowed any department beyond the amount provided for in the bill. The committee claim that heretofore certain sums have been ap? propriated for the annual expenses, "but" these have been far exceeded by the outlay, and the re? sult has been that each succeeding administra? tion has been compelled to bear the oncrsus bullen created by their predecessors. This is not "in accordance with the doctrines of the party," and their present endeavor is to prove to thc community that thc d?y government will be managed by them on the most economical princi? ples. The bill is yet in a state of incubation, and the public can only hope that thc assurances of the powers that be are not "promises made to the ?ar and broken to the hope." If each department tn the civil government can be made to keep m Tanning order on the annual appropriation pro? vided, it will be something marvellous in the eyes .of thc pu''lie, and be a bright spot in the Radical ?scutcheon. x "JOAN OF ARC."-The repetition of this piece at the Academy of Music was not as large? ly attended as on the previous night, but the actors were necessarily more au fail in their dif? ferent roles, and the play was rendered with probably more humor, and the sparkles of wit were more noticeable, than on Monday night. Blanche Chapman, as King Charles, was every inch a king, and carried her regal honors brave? ly. Her bon mots were capitally pat, and the en? tire role was a crowning success. Joan, "The Maid of the Period," was admirably depicted by Ella Chapman, whose bright and spirited manner of moving and speaking never failed to bring applause. Bishop was irresistible and inexaust ible. His make up was admirable, and the act? ing excessively fanny. "Shoo Fly" was sung with great eclat by Bishop and Blanche Chap? man and was enchored by the amused audience. To Light we will have the dramatic, or rather thc burlesque, version or Sir Walter Scott's Kenil? worth. This play has met with great favor in England, and is considered as one of the best, broadest, and most amusing comedies that has eveleen introduced on the boards. The present company have made lt an excellent study, and are prepared to present to the public a feast of fun. Ye Queen, ye Earle and ye Maidcnnc are the three principal characters that will be represent? ed by the Sisters and Bishop. The performance wiil close with thc farce of the "Thc Quiet Family," with Bishop os Barnaby Bibbs. CRUMBS.-Captain A. Ilabcnicht, long and favorably known as thc father of asphalt side? walks in Charleston, lias commenced operations on East Bay, above Broad street, and in a few days that portion of the city will rejoice in the possession of one or these pavements.? As one orme cars ortho King street line left the Broad street terminus yesterday,"a pigeon was observed on the crest or the roor, and undismayed by thc noise and turmoil or the car, retained Its ?elevated perch until the car had passed several blocks. " Shoo fly" has taken wonderfully, and thc little .street gamins are fast making it the "song of the period." Bishop's imitation ofa drunken man in "Joan .of Arc" was so wonderfully perfect on Monday night that lt cause? a disciple of Bacchus, who was far gone In his cups, to be removed from the theatre, as the Imposition on the public was more than he could bear. A new postof?ce ha3 been established on the Une of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail? road, called "Ward's Turnout," in Edgefleld .County, with Mr. Byrant Hughes as postmaster. Augusta is enthusiastic on the subject of Hack? et t, and trusts that Mr. Ford will be satisfied that "Augusta is no laggard when a first-rate dramat? ic cajipany or a great actor solicits her patron? age.^ _ ~ . PAUL PRY in Charleston. Look out ! THE PANORAMA coy NEW YORK.-Our readers must not forget tliat the celebrated Bullard's Panorama of Xcw York will give an exhibition in this city, at the Hibernian Hall, commencing on Friday afternoon. The entertainment that is promised is one that will be appreciated by every one, and will be particularly pleasing to the juve? nile members of the community, as it represents the great City of "Gotham" in all its varied scenes with remarkable accuracy. As a work of art, the panorama alone ls worth a visit; but aside from Demerits as a painting, is the plea? sure in viewing the wondrous phantasmagora that ls made to pass before the eye. The pano? rama has drawn Immense crowds wherever lt has been exhibited, and the recent tour of thc pro? prietors through the Xorthern States has been a grand success. As an evidence of Hie superior character or the entertainment that will be prssented to our citi? zens, we append a card from the Rev. Mr. Single? ton, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of "Wilmington: A. ?'orton. Esq.. Agent Billiard's Panorama of yew I'ork Otttf: DEAR SIR-Allow me, in acknowledgment or your complimentary invitation to visit Mr. Dul? lard's Panorama or New York City, to express my gratification with lt. Being familiar with all thc scenes represented. 1 can testify that a lire-like and perfect representation of Hiern is given.

KENILWORTH.-Thc burlcsqe of liKcnil worth," to be performed at the Academy of Music to night, is one of the very best produc? tions or its class, and had a run of several months when first brought out at the Strand Theatre, London. Of course lt is brim full of quip aud crank, of fan and jest, or song and daucc. Thc villain Varney, the sweet Amy Robsart, the fickle Leicester, Slr Walter Raleigh, all share in the fun and mirth. But, place aux dames, "Good Queen Bess," is the central figure, and ls made by the famous Bishop more excruciatingly funny than any other of his burlesque Impersonations. The Chapman Sisters wilt be in their element, and the whole performance promises to be unrivalled in brilliancy. TUE BURNS CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION.-A goodly number of Caledonia's sons assembled last night at Kroeg's Hall to celebrate the anniver? sary of thc Burns Charitable Association, and at the same time commemorate thc one hundred and tenth birthday or Scotland's favorite bard. The hall was tastefully decorated with Hags, and thc tables crowned with the good things ol' t his lifo, that soon disappeared before the lively attack that was made. After the boards were cleared and the glasses poised ready for action, the presi? dent, Mr. Archibald Cameron, opened the pro? ceedings with the following address to the asso? ciation: Gentlemen of the Hunts Club-Tho recurrence of another year devolves upon me the duty of congratulating you upon the exceeding great suc? cess that luis blessed yourlabors. War, with its Krim attendants, having yielded place to the mare ennobling pi act ice of peace, our club reorganized. Relations severed and pleasant customs suspended have again asserted a supremacy, and already dowe witness Hie re? sults or hearty fellowship, tempered with beuellt ting offices of charity aud humanity. In the year which has just beeu added to the history ot this club many, very many acts have been consummated which legalize the purpose of our organization, and honestly warrant their per? petuity. I may speak for instance or their utility no further than to say that we have proved a friendly succor to the enterprise or emigration. The destitute in manyan instauce ac'cin vvledgc our relier. So much for the past career or our club, or our duties lu the future it becomes mu now to speak a few words. That our efficient Committee on Rc-j lief will sec that the resources ol the club are ap- ! plied in every worthy lustance, I fool assured. With respect to the custom of succeeding every monthly meeting with pleasant exchanges of wit. with strains or song and offerings ot sentiment, 1 win say that I'approve or lt most heartily: nor do I consider that more is necessary than" to wish you may continue to enjoy and profit by them only this, remember that, brevity being "the soul ol'wit," justice to the members requires that all iudulgeuce In protracted debate bc most carefully avoided. Oratory should be cultivated, but no man's harranguc should be permitted to weary thc club. Such monopolies ol' time are odious and only sure to displease. The club has my earnest wish for its Increased and earnest prosperity, and my sincere thauks for thc many considerations shown nie. Thc following regular toasts were then offered and responded to: 1. The Day we Celebrate-Rendered immortal by the genius ul Rums. 2. The State of South Carolina-Wc pledge our? selves to her interest and desire her prosperity. 3. The City of Charleston-Her adopted sons wilt mu tie lound thc least jealous or her welfare. 4. Our Sister Societies-Co-laborers in the good works of charity and fellowship-we scud them greeting. ft. Charity-Divine attribute, and among mortals chief all the virtue. May our society long con? tinue prominent iu its exercise, blessing and be? ing blessed. ti. Woman-or God's creation, latest-best. The restlvities orthe oveuing closed with song and sentiment, and recitations rrom Burns and other noted Scottish bards. Hilarity ruled thc hours as they sped. The reminiscences of thc "Land o' cakes and brither Scots" were recalled, and the never-to-be forgotten melody or "Auld Laug Syne" rang out on thc stilly air as thc merry company parted. At the meeting of thc association, the following onicers were electee to serve for the ensuing year: A. Cameron, president; Robert Wing, Ii rsl vice-president; Wm. Knox,second vice-president; Wm.

C., 285 bales rrom Petersburg, 1245 bales from Norfolk and 551 bajes by railroad.

The cotton trade of Baltimore is rapidly increasing, and with her reg? ular steam lines to all important Southern ports, as well as to Europe, there can bc but little doubt that this important trade is going on to still further increase, and to add greatly to the com? mercial prosperity of tlie city."

(lccl4 6mos pa- HEALTH'S BEST DEFENCE. "Thc weak eatcth herbs," says St. Paul, so that eighteen hundred rears ago thc value of medici? nal plants was appreciated. In the Old Testa? ment botanical remedies are repeatedly recom? mended, but in no passage of sacred 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 thc art of making vegetable extracts wa9 unknown. Thc herbal medicines were mere infusions. It was reserved for a later age to unite the san-, itary essences or tonic, aperient and anti-blilous roots, barks and plants, with an active stimulant, and thus secure their rapid diffusion through thc debilitated or disordered system. The crowning triumph of this effective mode of concentrating and applying thc virtues of medicinal vegetables was achieved in the production of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Never before had a perfect? ly pure alcoholic stimulant been combined with the expressed juices of thc finest specifics of thc vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years have elapsed since its introduction, lias this great restorative '>cen equalled. It is taken at all seasons, In all climes, as thc most potent safe? guard against epidemics, as a protection against all unhealthy exhalations that produce debility or beget disease; as a remedy for intermittent and other malarious fevers; as an appetizer; as a sov? ereign cure for dyspepsia; as a general tonic and lnvigorant: ns a gentle, painless aperient; as a blood d?purent; as a nervine; as a cure for bilious affections; as a harmless anodyne; and as the best defence of health under favorable circum? stances, such as sedentary pursuits, undue bod? ily or mental exertion, hardship, privation and exposure.
