STREET MATTERS.-As the street inspector has left the pleasures or the Legislature Tor a sea? son, his atteutiou is directed to the condition or several.of thc sidewalks in the upper wards that have suffered terribly from the late heavy rains. This is particularly noticeable in thc vicinity of Judith and Elizabeth streets, where the sidewalks are bxsuoh.a condition that no vehicles can enter the vwds ol the houses. CiRCUXAtt CHURCH.-The congregation of | this venerable sanctuary, though sadly thiuned and scattered by the war, have never abaadoned the Intention or rebuilding their church. The ruins,- though perhaps the most picturesque in the city, are destined tobe replaced by a structure that wu! beadapted to the wautsor the congre? gation. - Initiatory steps have been taken toward rebuilding the church, and the nucleus of a fund for that purpose has been already collected. A meeting of those interested In the movement will be held this evening. THE PANORAMA OF NEW YORK.-Bulhud's cel? ebrated panorama of New York City will be exhib? ted Tor thc first time la Charleston on Friday after? noon, at the Hibernian Hall, and will be continued at 3 and 8 A. M. each day of the ensuing week. The Hibernian Hall is admirably adapted for any display of this description, and visitors will be amply repaid for the time and money expended. Though not the New York of the period, thc rep? resentation ls to the life, and the streets aud other scenery will be at once recognized by every one who has any acquaintance with Gotham, while strangers can ob'ain an Insight Into the appear? ance of the great metropolis without leaving ho&e._ THE Loss OF TUE LIGHTNING.-Tiie Savan? nah Republican oryesterday says: "We are indebt? ed to Captain Fitzgerald, or the coasting schooner Mail, which arrived yesterday afternoon rrom Ash epoo. for thc following facts in reference to the loss of the Lightning: He reports that at seven and a half o'clock yesterday morulng he sighted the Lightning ashore on the reer at Calarigue Sound; had a signal of distress flying; bore down and hove to. sent a boat ashore, took one or the crew - off the reer, the rest remaining by the vessel. One man was lashed to thc mast, she beim? high and dry. Last night the sea was breaking over the vessel, wasldng her hatches and deck load off, sails, Ac. She will prove a total loss. The crew were all saved by a launch belonging to Hilt n Head, Captain Fitzgerald being unable to go further in. The Lightning was about twenty tons measurement, and was engaged in the coasting ? business." _ MARKET IMPROVEMENTS.-The portion of the market on the west side or East Bay has been de signed by the commissioners for the fish stalls, and the bricks and pavement were removed yes terday to prepare for the transferor the stalls from the opposite side of the street. When the street was widened in rront of the new custom house. Council agreed to cede certain property to aid the widening of the street. Thc present Ash market is on the new line, and will have to be re moved before the street can be Improved. The move now In progress will not only famish the community with a good fish market, but the re? moval of the bulldlug will add greatly to the ap pearance and business capacity of East Bay. The new fish market will be arranged In a more conve- . nient manner than thc one that has done service I 1 for so many years. The pavement will bc graded properly, and drains built that will carry off the slops and refuse water. As the market is under the same shed that extends from East Bay to State streets, lt will in this respect be a great ac? commodation to all housekeepers. THE ORGAN OF HOLY COMMUNION CUCRCH. Last night the Church of thc Holy Commnulon, . on Ashley street, was filled to overflowing by a fashionable audience, collected to hear the trial of the new organ recently constructed for that church. An alcove had been built to thc north of the church, adjoining the vestry-room, and the organ was furnished by Messrs. Steer A Turner, of WestneUJ, Mass., especially for the niche. The alcove 13 trumpet-shaped, and the works o? the -organ flt compactly In the recess, allowing the full volume of sound to be heard In the church. Tho outer pipes are drab-colored, rel eved by gilding and fancy painting, while the wood work is in imitation of maple. It has two key-boards, and a pedal of twenty-seven notes, and combining the different sounds that render the music of an I ; an orgaa so peculiarly adapted for religions pur- 11 poses. It was tested last night by several of the professors of music and organists of other ?churches in the city, and the melody produeed 11 ?showed not only the full power of the instrument, i)ui gave thorough satisfaction to both the builder and the congregation. The organ was furnished -at a cost of about $3500, and was so constructed ns to exactly fiU the place designed for it, leaving nothing to offend the eye, but adding greatly to the appearance of the church. No organist has been engaged as yet, and the choir ls now being for&ed. ACADEMY OF MUSIC-KENILWORTH. - The .performance at the Academy ot Music last eve liing is worthy or very special commendation. The new barlesque or ' Kenilworth" ls one or thc best we have ever seen, and lt was put upon the stage with a splendor and completeness or scenery and . costume, which reflect the greatest credit upon the management. The effect of the piece de p.uds much more upon the song3, dances and -corni? situations, with which it abounds, than upon its verbal hits and witticisms, many of which being calculated for the atmosphere of the Strand, for which theatre the play was originally written, are "caviare to the general." As produced last night, however, "Kenilworth" was a decided success, and numerous encores testified to the satisfaction of the audience. The Chapmaas have certainly the faculty or gathering around them . Ouips and cranks, and wanton wiles. Nods and becks and wreathed smiles," and i.1' the retinue of the laughing goddess; and the lovers or thorough, unadulterated run can nardly have a richer treat than they are now of? fered at the Academy. In the opening farce of "A Quiet Family," Bishop was, as usual, overpowering. His abilities as acomed?an aro of the first order, and we should like to see him in some or the more legitimate comedy roles, in which, we think, he would be even more effective than in thc broad rarcc or his present Impersonations. To night we have Buckstone's comedy, ' Mar Tie??jJ.ire," and the burlesque "Ixion"-thc Chap? mans and Bishop in both plays. DEATH OE HEXRY PLACIDE. Henry Placido, the well-known comedian, who made his Urst appearance on thc Charleston boards more than sixty years since, died at Baby? lon, L. L, on Sunday last. We take the following sketch of his life and professional career from thc Sew York Times or Monday: Henry Placido, comedian, died at Babylon, L. !.. yesterday. Ile was born In Charleston, S. C., September 8,17uo. Bis father and mother were both performers, the former the manager of n company of actors who travelled through the South, giving dramatic entertainments, lit? cur? liest authentic record or Mr. Puebla's appearance on the stage exists in a play bill, (now hanging in the parlor of the deceased actor,} ol' the Charles? ton company, dated Friday evening, October 14, 180S. in which Master H. Placide appears in two pieces, viz: As David in thc "Blind Bargain," and ns Flor?o di Rosal vi in the "Hanter of the Alps." Ile was then only nine years old. His second ap? pearance in New York was as Zckicl Home? spun, in the "Heir-at-Law," and as Dr. Du bloncour in thc .afterpiece of the " Bild? etet of Blunders." at the old Park- Thea? tre in 1S23. From this time until 1S43, a period or twenty years, he was thc constant favorite or the Kew York public. In lSlo Mr. stephen Price. Simpson's partner in the manage? ment or the "Park," died, leaving some engage? ments unfinished that he made with i>opular per? formers on the other aide or the waler. Placide, it Simpson's request, crossed the Atlantic in the diip Gladiator, to re-engage thc performers, and the consequence was the appearance at the Purk of Braham, the famous tenor singer; Tyroue Power, Fauny EUsIer, Mr. and Mr. Woods. Buck stone, and other foreign actors of thc highest merit. During this visit to thc Old World he did not play lu England or elsewhere. He re? turned in August of the same year. This period may bc culled thc brightest days of the "Old Park." Thc far-famed stock"com paiiy was in its perfection then, and being isslsted by such actors as wc have spoken ol' ibovc, with Dowton, Hackett, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, Burton, the Segaba Operatic Company, the Mar? tyn Operatic Company, Forrest, charlotte Cash? man, Browne, Barnes, W.H. Williamsand others )f great celebrity besides, lt might surely have contested thc palm with any theatre whatever. Vu unfortunate event in the beginning or tuc fol owing year cast a gloom over the theatrical tvorld, from which it has never entirely recover id. This was the sailing of thc ill-fated steamer President, on which poor Power embarked, and tpon which Placide had intended to make his lecond trip to England. Thc President sailed 'rom New York on thelOth of March, and was lever more heard of. The circumstances that led Placide to give up his trip by this steamer appear >o curious that they are worth relating. He was not going out to ful tl 1 an immediate engage? ment, bat, on the contrary, he might remain idle in London for some months before there would lie an opportunity for him to appear lu the favor? ite parts with Power. But among the passengers tm the vessel were to be many particular friends, ia well as Power, and he hoped to make the voy? age in their company. I had made all my ar? rangements to go, said he, when Forrest came to my room and persuaded me not togo. He thor? oughly hated England and Englishmen, and imoug the latter reckoned Power. "Why go out jf America, where yon are appreciated, to a coun? try where you will not be-where you will not sven have a fair chance? Assn American, the :rltlcs will show yon no mercy," J.e.. Ac. 1 told dm I might as well go there us stay herc; I had ii ven up ray engagement at the Park and co>dd era ploy my leisure time ia Europe very pleasantly in ooking at thc cariosities of the Old World. "Yes," tie replied, "and spend all your money before you jet an engagement ! Why not make some money rere before you go-ir you must go*"' To which [ replied that I had no prospect or playing here times were dull-no theatrical prospect before me. Te this he said that he was just from Rich? mond, where he had had a very succes>rul cn lagement. "They will be glad to have you there. I know." he continued, "and ir you will say the word, I will write to the manager ut once, ami no doubt he will make nattering terms with f ou." Seeing I hesitated, he said. "Come, I will write a letter to him myself;" and without more tvor Js he sat down, wrote thc letter and carried tt off with him. In a fow days he brought me a very polite answer rrora thc manager, asking terms, Ac, and as I had secretly determined to jo to England in the President, come what would, and wished to cut short Forrest's friendly Importunities, Ljiamed terms far beyond any? thing 1 had everSbceived or expected to receive. Forrest was not surprised at it, although my modest rrice was "half the house." and advised me to sit down at once and write thc manager to that effect. I tried to put off the writing, but it was of no use. Forrest insisted that I should do lt at once, aud for Tear that I should not mail thc letter after I had written it, actually carried lt tiimseir to the New York Postoitlce, then in the little Rotunda in the park. Thc letter went, the ins wer came back, and my terms were accepted ! So the steamer Bailed witbont me. Power said he was sorry to lose my company, but congratulated me on my good luck. On the first of May follow? ing I took passage by the Great Western to join Ulm in London. Upon arriving at Liverpool the drat thing we asked the pilot was, "Have rou heard of the President i" "No!" was .he answer. That was the last of poor Power. Placide played a star engagement lu Loudon, where he was subject to some few not unfriendly criticisms, as Forrest had predicted, ind even the comparisons made to his disadvan? tage were with giants of the stage; his Slr Peter was compared with that of Farren, and his Touch? stone with that of Fawcett. On his returu lo Sew York, Placide reappeared at the Park in Ser tember, aud continued to play there until 184?. He there terminated a long career of unequalled popularity at this time-honored edifice, and re? tired for a time to his quiet country resilience at Babylon, L. I. Since then, he has played in the varions cities in the Union, lils last engagement Seing at the Winter Garden in 1865, where he played Corporal Cartouche with undiminished spirit in his 66th year. A NKW INSURANCE COMPANY.-We print in another column a report or the proceedings or a meeting or the trustees of the "Policy-Holders' Life and Tontine Assurance Company,"' held In this city yesterday. The company was fully or? ganized, and the president, vice president and ?ther officers were elected. Mcwilliam McBur? ney, the president of the company, is known throughout the State as a gentleman of ability ind spotless Integrity. General E. P. Alexander, the vice-president and actuary, was a gallant and iccomplished soldier, and is well titted to dis ?harge successlully the duties of civil life. Upon thc committees are our leading bankers and some >f our most eminent merchants. The scheme or thc new compauy is an admlra :leonc. It is sufficient to say now that: 1. Thc company ls purely mutual, so that all thc profits will be divided among the Insurers. 2. No policy :an be forfeited by default of payment of pre? miums. 3. Where the sum insured ls forfeited for violation of contract, the amount of premiums paid the company ls returned to Hie representa? tives of the insured. A MODEL PRIVATE DWELLING.-Dr. B. A. Roderlgnes has receutly erected, on thc site of a former dwelling, one of the finest houses of its size that Charleston can boast. The new build? ing races the Circular Church on Meeting street, ind is two stories in height, with an ornamented front surmounted by an arch, and the whole Snished lu the highest degree known to the arch tcctural profession. The lower story ls used as a store, and ls twenty-five feet front, by eighty feet deep, with a height of celling or fourteen feet. A cellar seven feet deep nins the whole length of the story. The store ls entirely separate from the other portion of the baildlug, and has every sonvenience within Its own enclosure. In the rear ol thc store are the dining room, pantry ind kitchen. The latter is furnished with ;very facility for properly manipulating a dinner, ind is one of the most perfect in its different de? tails that could be Invented. Up-stairs arc the private apartments of the family, the parlors and he reception and operating rooms or the Docior. )ncol these tooms has been fitted ap as a labora? tory, where everything relating to dentistry is )repared for the mouths of thc patients. The olding doors in this part of thc building arcfor llshed with patent lock3 that are very ingenious. Thc entire building is finished throughout in he'most perfect manner. Na detail, however ninntc, ls wanting, and it is without exception he finest house erected since the war. The itreet entrance opens through a vestibule on the >iazza, from which access is had to any part of he hon3e. Thc vestibule is perhaps the principle eature, and deserves nitre than passing atten ion, as the walls and ceiling are frescoed and he fleor inlaid with mosaic tiles. Mr. C. J. Haru iton, thc scenic artist, who has charge of this lortion of the work, has designs of the arts and cienccs, the seasons and other emblematic Igures, that arc to be placed on the walls. Thc loors openlug on the street have large oval glass s, the outer one bearing Dr. Roderigues' name ut in the glass. The entire wood-work, mouldings, Ac, were urnished by Mr. Vf. P. Russell, and were made in his city. Mr. T. J. Knauff was thc snperintcn lent or the building, and the gas aud water-fix urcs were furnished by Mr. W. F. Paddon, the inning by Mr. F. C. Due. the plastering by Mr. II. f. Gruver, and the brick-work by Mr. Martin. The dans were drawn under thc supcrvi-ion of Dr. todrigues, who designed most or the improve nents, and has secured for himself one or the nost commodious and elegant structures iu thc XJEWS FROM S ATTI. ARRIVAL OF A FRENCH SLOOl'-OF-WAR. Execution of President Sainare. Yesterday afternoon Hie French steam sloop of-war Lc Limier, Captain Conte, six days from Port-au-Prince, came to anchor at quarantine, below the city. Her arrival attracted much at? tention, but it was not until after the return of thc health officer, Dr. Lcoby, who visited thc sloop as soon as she came np, that any particu? lars about her could bc ascertained. Le Limier has been stationed for some time at Port-au-Prince, Tor thc purpose of giving protec? tion to thc lives and property of French citizens, during the turbulent scenes of the revolution. At Port-au-Prince, the crew were attacked by yellow fever and fifty of ttie number died, ns well as thc chief surgeon and first lieutenant. Every effort was made to restrain the ravages of '-Yel? low Jack," but as the sloop could not leave her station, it was impossible to drive it off entirely. Proper sanitary measures, however, checked the disease, and Le Limier has now no serious cases aboard. The sick are convalescent, and Dr. Lebby reports "no more danger.-' SALSA VE. Le Limier brings thc intelligence that Presi? dent Sainave, who had been for some time strug? gling, with varying success, against the rebellion in Hay 11, and whose cause was reported to be desperat Ay thc latest advices, was captured by his enemies a short time before Hie sailiug of Lc Limier and shot. DIGNITARIES. Five prominent negro officials, who held ofllec nuder Sainave, took refuge aboard Le Limier, aud arrived in her. One of them was a gaeenilissimo ol Salnave's forces;-another-a venerable ecclesi? astic l-was Salnave's private secretary; a third was the captain or Port au Prince. They are all of them s tal wart negro fellows, fall blacks. LE Ll MI EU is a fine looking vessel, is armed with live guns, and has a crew of HG men. CONFIRME?.-Blair Anderson lias been con? firmed by the Baited States Senate as postmaster at Georgetown, nnd Thomas B. Johnson as post? master at Sumter.

DEAD-HEAD PRIVILEGES.-At the benefit ten? dered Manager Ford by the citizens ot Charles? ton, some time back, thc Tree list was suspended by request, and every one who attended paid cheerfully, with, perhaps, the one exception of Lieutenant Phlllppy, of the detectives, who de? clined to pay, and, on being refused admission, threatened to have the theatre closed. Nothing more was thought of this empty flourish nb til Tuesday night, when Lieutenant Phi lippy de? manded admission, which was rclused unless he could show a pass. This was not done, and thc next step ir. the proceedings was to summon Muuagcr Ford, Mr. Levin, the treasurer, and the doorkeeper, before thc Mayor's Court, yesterday morning, lo answer to the charge of refusing an officer admittance In the theatre, a public place, on business. The Mayor very sen? sibly dismissed the charge, and the mutier ended. Manager Ford claims that the dead-head and free-list tickets arc favors that arc usually given by the .manager of a theatre, who, however, re? tains Tull power to decide who shall bc bcuclitted by his liberality._ _ UNITED STATF.S COURT-HON.

TO TnE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. I find iu the columns of your valuable jour? nal that thc honor has been claimed lor several places or being the first Bom which tho above soul-inspiring production emanated. Among them arc named Nassau, N. P., and Wilmington, N.C. lt ls not my purpose to detract rrom the rairramc or either place, but Justice demands, that "honor should be given" where lt is due. Be it known, then, that to Charleston belongs the praise of offering to thc world "Shoo Fly." lt was originally sung by the negro laborers en gaged on thc fornications during the war, and In connection with other songs of a like charac? ter, had entranced many an eager listener on East Bay Battery. Wc well remember the refrain, -When dc day's work dun, won't you hollo!" aa chanted by the sable choir, and lt ls not forgot? ten that "Shoo Fly" formed a part of the exer? cises.

"Thc weak eatcth herbs," says St. Paul, so tba eighteen hundred years ago thc value ot medic nal plants was appreciated. In the Old Testa ment botanical remedies arc repeatedly recoin mended, but in no passage ol sacred history I man recommended to swallow calomel, or blu pill, or any other mineral preparation. The sid were directed to eat herbs to strengthen them, t purify them, to heal them, to restore them. Ii that day the art of making vegetable extract was unknown. The herbal medicines were mer Infusions. lt was reserved for a la'er age to unite thc san itary essences or tonic, aperient and antl-bliiou: roots, barks aud plants, with an active stimulant and thus secure their rapid diffusion through flu debilitated or disordered system. The crowning triumph of this effective mode of conccuiratinf and applying thc virtues of medicinal vegetable! was achieved In the production or HOSTETTER'i STOMACH BITTERS. Never before hail a perfect ly pure alcoholic stimulant been combined witt the expressed Juices of thc finest specifics of thc 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 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 lnvlgorant: as a gentle, painless aperient; as a blood d?purent; as a nervine; as a cure tor bilious affections; as a harmless anodyne; and as the best defence or health under favorable circum? stances, such as sedentary pursuits, undne bod? ily or mental exertion, hardship, privation and exposure._jaii22 Cote pS- NO CURE, NO PAY.-FORREST'S JUNIPER TAR ror Coughs, Croup, Whooping Cough, Asthma, Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Spitting or Blood and Lung Diseases.
