A lot and buildings on thc same side of Calhoun street, for $2500. Another lot, similarly situate 1, brought $1400. A lot on Cove street, SulllvunY Island, for $45. PERUVIAN GUANO.-The deposits of manure existing on the Chincha Islands, coast of Peru, are known everywhere for their great value as . land stimulants. This article has been in such extensive demand in all civized countries, that thc original fields on the Chincha Islands are about being exhausted, and the Peruvian Govern? ment, which has for a long time enjoyed a valua? ble monopoly of these deposits, have opened new mmes on the Guanape Islands, which will be ror a time, at least, the main source or supply. The article which comes from this last point ls said to be l'aljS/ equal to the best which was procured from the Chinchas. A cargo or about eight hun? dred tons, direct from Guanape, has arrived here, and been purchased by Messrs. Geo. W. Williams A Co., who offer it rrotn the wharr at sixty dol? lars rer ton, gold. Its undoubted purity and value will cause it to meet with rapid sale. These gentlemen have at their office some tine speci? mens of crystals, impregnated with ammonia and phosphatic eggs, taken from the deposits on these islands, which for thc student and agricul? turist possess much interest. THE BENEFIT OF MRS. OATES.-The "Pride of the Market," and other pieces, will be played at the Academy of Music to-night, for the beneflt or Mrs. Oates, thc charming actress, who is already .so great a ravorlte with all lovers "or grace, sklU and wholesome run. Burlesque may be only a twig or the '..-amatic tree, but lt can be made the source of Indnlte amasement, while to perch there successfully the bolu burlesquer must possess different powers, which are rarely found together. All these Mrs. Oate3 enjoys In an eminent degree. A spirited and careful actress, or gracerul pres? ence, the possessor or a rich, ringing voice, and having a Tull command or all the resources or the dramatic and lyric stage, the rair lady ls as fascinating In comedy as in burlesque, and in pure burlesque is Inimitable. The pieces chosen for to-night will display to good purpose the versatility of her genius, and it is expected that she will have a crowded house. On Saturday the present engagement of the Oates Company comes to an end, and for some time there will be no fresh opportunity of beholding again the "twlnk Ung si&r of the lyric stage," whose beneflt comes off to-night. jr A s o y I c.

The officers elect were then Installed, and thc Grand Chapter closed in due and ample form till the next annual convocation. The utmost harmony prevailed throughout the entire convocation, and the companions dispersed Infused with new zeal for their ancient and hon? orable Order. THE CATHOLIC FAIK.-The rain put a damper on aU outside enjoyment last night; but thc fair was comparatively well attended, and the even? ing was spent in an enjoyable manner. The at? tractions have not diminished, and the enter? tainment ls all that could be desired. A VERY HIGH TIDE.-The springtide of yes? terday morning was unusually high, the low streets and grounds in the upper wards bordering on either river being flooded. The causeway of the Savannah Railroad dock, on Ashley River, was completely submerged, and the streets In thc neighborhood or the Arsenal were Impassable on acconnt of their flooded condition. A horse with a loaded dray fell down while wading through In. spection street, aud was rescued with some diffi? culty. _^ POCAHONTAS_John Brougham's famous bur? lesque 13 a favorite in the Uuited States, even In the "Old Dominion," where thc blood of the gen? tle savage bronzes the cheeks, in fancy at least, of many a famous family. It is smart and pun? gent; as fuU of puns as Gaelic ls or consonants, and with as many funny situations as there are liquid vowels in the soft Tuscan tongue. The In? terest of the legend never flags; aud if it can always be Illustrated and adorned by a troupe like that which now occupies our Academy, thc lyrico-draraatlcoburlesquo-scrloso "Pocahontas" will surely never die. Mrs. Oates last night played "John Smith" with unconquerable spirit, and a vivid force which kuows no such word as tire. The dramatic ability of this fair lady ls more apparent every? day. There ls Infinite variety in her acting, aud her rich, full voice was displayed to admirable advantage in the graceful songs introduced into the Indian burlesque. ! H. R. H. Princess Pocahontas fell to the lot of Mrs. Sheldon, a distressingly bewitching dame for whom the universal Smith might well live, and could hardly rerusc to die. Miss Ida DcSoycr appeared as Dl-mun-dl, fixing herseir more firm? ly than ever In popular favor. Mr. Allen was a glorious Powhatan, and lils ripe, mellow, bass told well In the concerted music. All the minor parts were weU filled, and the company played and sang with the clock-work precision aud ac? curacy for which they are famous. The intricate guitar solo by Mr. Hernandez was loudly applauded, as was thc "Tumbleronlcon." "An Alarming Sacrifice," a laughable farce, opened the performances. Bob Ticket (Mr. Sheldon) was a capital bit of acting, and Susan Sweet Apr-le (Mrs. Sheldon) aud Tidbit (Miss Dc Soyer) were prettily piquante and touchingly bright.

Jake Robinson-grand larceny-three years at hard labor in State penitentiary. Joe Brunson, Joe Razz ard and Richard Single? ton-grand larceny-fourteen months at hard labor m State penitentiary.

Black, Peter Jones aud Murk Reynolds were withheld, in consequence or their absence from thc court? room. Tlie business or the General Sessions being closed, the court was adjourned sine die, and an adjournment or the Court of Common Pleas or? dered until Monday. MASONIC.-The Grand Council of Royal and Select Master- of South Carolina met on Tues? day morning, at Masonic Hall, In this city, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Companion A. G. Mackey, M. P. Grand Master. Companion B. R. Campbell, Thrice Select D. G. M. Companion E. W. Lloyd, S. M. Hiram of Tyre. Companion C. F. Jackson, Grand Treasurer. Companion H. W. Schroder, Grand Recorder. Companion J. A. Hoyt, Grand Marshal. Companion J. Birnie. Grand Captain Guards. Companion C. M. Miller, Grand Conductor of Council. Companion L. F. Meyer, Grand Steward. No impartant questions came up in council, ex? cept two suggested by the address of Companion Mackey, Grand Master. The first was whether a Grand Council had the right to confer the degrees, and thc other was whether the Super Excellent degree was any part of the ritual of the rite. Both subjects were referred to the committee on correspondence, who reported In accordance with the suggestions of the Grand Master, that the Grand Council possessed the right of confer? ring the degrees, and that thc Super-Excellent de? gree was an innovation on the ancient land? marks and would not bo recognized by the Grand Council. These are matters or great importance to Council Masons in this State. THE RIGHT OF THE CITY TO IMPRISON-.-The grand jury, in their presentment made yesterday, directed the attention of the court to the fact that "persons arrested for alleged violations of thc law by thc detective force without le^al process have been confined Tor tirtecn days in the cells under the City Hall." The decisions of the Mayor's Court, in condemning persons charged with statutory offences to imprisonment in thc Honse or Correction, were also considered a grave viola? tion ol the law, as no person chafed with an In? dictable offence should be couilneu lu any other place than the county jail. The arbitrary exercise or power by the police and other muulcipal authorities has been fre? quently questioned; and while the right or thc city to punish all violations or Its ordinances is not doubted, It is claimed that when fines are Im? posed and the offender refuses to pay, the Record? er's Court ls the proper tribunal to which thc case should be referred for adjudication, as the city has not the right to imprison until thc fine Im? posed should be paid. This was tested on a point similar to that stated above on Tuesday morning, before Judge Carpenter. A man who was fined in the Mayor's Court for an offence against a city ordinance refused to pay the fine, and was Im? prisoned. The case was brought before the Judge on a habeas corpus, which was granted, on the grounds that the remedy for the city lay in the Recorder's Court, and Imprisonment was illegal. CRUMBS.-H. Larcomb, the president of the United Fire Company, colored, was presented at their last anniversary with a fine sliver trumpet, valued at $100. The ball given by thc German Fire Company, In aid of thc German Lutheran Church on King street, given at thc hall of thc company In Chal? mers street, was well attended and a perfect suc? cess. The horrible din caused by the passage of vehi? cles over the cobble stones, la the vinclty of the courtroom, has ruined the equanimity or the grand jury and they recommend that thc county commissioners replace thc present noisy pave? ment with the Nicholson, or some other smooth and noiseless material. Joshua Thompson was arrested on Wednesday, ror stealing a trace chain and other articles from the South Carolina Railroad depot, and turned over to Magistrate Kanapaux ror prosecution. Thc Mcculloch and Brlgnoll Italian Opera Troupe arc billed ror Atlanta ou the 7th, 8th and 9th or March. The Berger Swiss Bell Ringers, with Anna Berger as the principal though not sole attrac? tion, will open next week at the hall of the Acad? emy or Music. LaRne's celebrated minstrel troupe will per? form at the theatre ucxt week. This troupe has an attraction in thc shape of a male soprano voice-the only one, lt ls stated, on thc conti? nent. PRESENTMENT OK THE GRAND JURY OF CHARLESTON COUNTY.-The Billowing present? ment, submitted by the grand Jury, M. Caulfield, roreman, was read in open court on Thursday morning: The grand Jury or Charleston County, ror the February term or the Court or Common Pleas and Genera: Sessions, rcspcctrully present: That they have inspected the several public buildings, and round them In good order and well adapted tn every respect Tor tho purposes ror ! which thev were designed. They would especially commend thc administration or the county jail, its police and sanitary arrangements, securing alike thc sarcty and comfort or its Inmates, while the allowance or rood to each prisoner is ample and the quality good. They And, however, that some or thc cells and galleries or the Jail require white? washing, and that the privy needs cleaning out. They recommend that the necessary lime aud brushes bc furnished thejnilor by the county com? missioners. and that the whitewashing bc done by a detail or prisoners under his supervision, thus effecting a considerable saving to the State, as compared with the cost ol the same work when executed under contract. They would also invite attention to thc Tact that some or the pri? soners are almost destitute or clothing, and a due regard ror humanity and decency demands, that iu all such cases the county commissioners should, upon the certificate or tho sheriff, furnish the necessary wearing apparel at the expense of th j State. They also examined tho nouse of Correction, under the control of the municipal government or Charleston, and round lt administered by the keeper with skill aud efficiency, aud Rs records well kept: bat the allowance or rood for thc pri? soners ls lusunicicut, and Us quality most In? ferior. lt this connection thc grand jury deem it ne? cessary to state that they have been informed that persons charged with statutory offences are, lu some instances, arrested by the police and im? prisoned in thc House of Correction. While this institution Ls, doubtless, a necessary agency for the punishment of offenders against thc ordi? nances and police regulations or the city, yet the grand jury regard it as agrave violation to contine any person charged with an Indictable or feucc in any other place than the county Jail. They are also credibly advised that many per? sons have been arrested for alleged violation of law, by the detective force or this city, without legal process, and have been confined in the vaults or cells under the City Hall, for periods ranging from three to fifteen days, shut out almost entirely from light and air. They earnestly recommend that this system or "'lprisonment be at once stopped, as dangerous to tuc liberty or the citizens and impeding the ad? ministration or justice. Thc grand Jury visited thc Fireproor Building, and fouud that the Improvements recommended by their predecessors at the last term for the pre? servation of the public records, and Tor other pur? poses, are now lu course or execution. The attention or the grand jury has been invited to the wretched condition or the roads and bridges in some parts or the county, especially in St. John's Berkeley Parish, and to t i particularly they ask the early atteutiou of tl. ouuty com? missioners. The grand jury have observed that the transit of vehicles over" the cobble stone paving on the south front of thc courthouse often renders it al? most Impossible lo be heard, and they therefore recommend that thc county commissioners do, without delay, have said paviug replaced with Gie Nicholson, or some oilier noiseless pavement, in order that they may be "silence In court." It Is gratifying to the grand jury to state that no case of a capital nature has been laid before them, yet the numerous cases, sonic of them very grave, upon which they have acted impel them to declare that, in their judgment, thc increase of crime in thc county can only bc checked, and a proper regard for law enforced, by a feailess and rigid discharge of duty, without respect lo per? sons, by thc grand and petit juries. In conclusion, the grand jury recognize and gratcluliv acknowledge thc very valuable lu? st ructions they have received in thc execution or their office from the luminous charge given to them by his honor, the presiding judge; and they desire also to acknowledge the prompt courtesy and assistance they have received at the hands of all the officers or this honorable court. All or which is respectrully submitted. Hotel Arrivals-February 17. CHARLESTON HOTEL. D. W. C. Garrett, John T. llabbeth. Nash? ville; F. D. Marek Wald, L. F. Lyor, Mrs. L. E. Lyor, Mrs. A. E.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors, held this day, thc following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : HENRY COBIA, the president of this bank, has been removed from our midst by the Giver of all good gifts; and'while we bow in submission to the Divine will, we do not think lt unbecoming to give expression to our sorrows. Born and reared .among the influences so dear to our people, he became a fair representative of that class which gives tone and character to thc leading mer? chants of our city. At an early age he began manfully to contend with life's practical realities, and by lils steady industry, firm Integrity and high moral worth, he advanced himself to positions of honor and trust, and held them io the last day of his useful life, without Incurring the envy which so often follows closely upon success. A spirit of faithful earnestness marked his whole career In the discharge of whatever dulles he was called by his fellow-cltlzens to assume ; and this striking characteristic contributed no little in securing to him the esteem of our com? munity. If wo can recall one more prominent feature than all which make the upright roan, lt was his strength of purpose which he invariably exhibited la the accomplishing of whatever he undertook to perform. Laboring with an untir? ing zeal, and devoting his whole energy and at? tention to attaining an end, who will feel surprise In reviewing the success which marked his way in lire's earnest struggle? That success, that prosperity, are well known to us and to the com? munity at large. Nor were his worth and usefut ness appreciated by us alone-others claimed his helping hand and sought the aid or his clear Judgment and the counsel or his valuable expe? rience-others paid their tribute to his worth, and solicited his consideration. This he was ever ready to give, and, laying aside the thought or seir, he contributed freefy his time and the sug? gestions or a well regulated mind to the general prosperity or the community in which he lived. While we thus speak of him in lils capacity of a citizen, It ls not Inappropriate to express our ap? preciation of him as a man. Those or us who enjoy? ed the privilege or associating with him as compan? ions In his hours or social Intercourse, can well bear testimony to bis urbanity and generosity. His warm, affectionate sympathy has often help ' ed to smooth our difficulties in lire; and his kind ad? vice, so orten and apprcciatingly received, has con? tributed to remove obstacles and give light to our sometimes clouded Judgment. ' Ho has passed from us, and wc are sensible of the deep loss we have sustained. Others will be called to assume the duties he so well performed ; but the cares and influences of changeful life cannot rob us or his memory. The example or his lire will be ever present to oar minds, and ir guided by a light so clear and actuated by motives as pure as were his, the same success must marie our end as that which crowned his efforts. We feel assured that a community shares with us our loss, and that this simple tribute to his memory will meet with a response from every one who has an appreciation of excellence and worth. We unite with those who have sustained a greater loss in the severing of a more tender tie, In doing honor to his memory, and extend to them our earnest srapathy In their bereavemebt. Resolved, That In the death of our president, thc late HENRY COBIA, this bank bas been de? prived or a highly valuable ofllccr, one who hos. endeared hlmseir to us, not only by lils integrity and usefulness, but for those excellences or heart and mind so rarely united, and one who so largely contributed to the prosperity of this Institution. Resolved, That a page In our minute book bc Inscribed with his name and dedicated to his memory. Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and ac? companying resolutions be forwarded to the family or our deceased president, and that these proceedings be published in the dally papers.

I have tried others, but they could not compare with this. After running off my cotton rows four feet apart, I threw two fur? rows together and then split them out with a small shovel, sowing the phosphate In the drills; arterwards completed the bcd. Thc cotton came up as well as lt was possible for lt to do. It will double Itself In the yield. I have no rust. My neighbor's crops are almost destroyed.^ by it. I tried on turnips In the liquified state, three gal? lons of water to two pounds of phosphate; lt acted like magic. I planted the seed on the 2d of August, and thc fiat Dutch, five Inches in diame? ter, by thc 3d of September. It was used on mel? ons and in my garden: the yield was far more than without lt; and during thc protracted and serious drought, my cotton, melons and garden did not suffer in thc least, as far as I could per? ceive. I will try hard to make lt better known lu this section or the State, tor lt is an excellent rer tlllzcr. Three hundred pounds ls thc proper quantity per acre for cotton; for turnips two hun? dred, and melons thc same, ir this will be or any use to you I shall be pleased.

Thc little mongoose when bitten by a deadly ser? pent resorts to a certain plant, rats of it, and es? capes the effect or the poison. That ls Instinct. Human beings, on thc other hand, must depend on reason and experience in selecting thc means or protecting health and ure against unwhole? some Influences. Now, what does rcson say on this vital subject? Docs it not tells us that to In? vigorate and purity the system ls the best way to protect it against thc invisible poison which generates disease? Surely lt does. Thc next question Is, what guide shall wc follow in choos? ing a medicinal safeguard ? Reason replies, let your monitor bc experience. Well, the experi? ence or eighteen years comprised lu one unbrokeu series or satisfactory testimonials assures us that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS posesscs strengthening, regulating and antiseptic proper? ties which are not combined in the same happy proportions m any other preparation extant. This, therefore, ls the antidote to which reason bids us resort when our health ls Imperilled either by thc malaria which produces epidemic disorders, or by any other cause, whether inhe? rent and constitutional, or connected with our habits, occupations and pursuits. Thc venom ol noxious reptiles Is scarcely more subtle and dangerous than that which lurks in foul airand impure water. To escape the fevers, bilious disorders, disturbances ?f thc bowels and other serious maladies produced by these Insalu? brious clements, It is absolutely necessary that the stomach and all the secretive organs should bc, so to speak, lu a robust condition. Upon thc amount or resistance which thc vital system can oppose to Hie deleterious Influences that assail lt, thc safety of thc health depends, and lt ls because thc CKE.IT VEGETABLE ISV100RANTimparts energy and regularity to the most Important functions of the body, that it can be recommended and guaranteed as au Invaluable pr?ventive medi? cine._feb!4 enuc ps- AWAY WITH UNCOMFORTABLE TRUSSES.-Comfort and Cure for the Ruptured.
