WAS PEACH EVES DECLARED_Judge Car? penter decided 'yest erday that a note drawn pay a cid ?ix months after the declaration of peace be? tween the United States and Confederate States of America could not be collected, as no peace had been declared between those governments. Exceptions have been taken to this ruling, on the ground that the close of hostilities was a virtual declaration of peaee. even though one of the contending powers ceased to exist. ."^A DISTINGUISHED (?) ARRIVAL.-A. Alpeoria Bradley, the negro ex-senator from Georgia, vis? ited Judge Carpenter's court yesterday. He was known only to a few persons, and did not attract any attention. It ls reported that Bradley intends becoming a resident of this State, as his recent visit to Columbia proved to him that the present negro paradise was the legislative halls of South Carolina. Bradley is said to be a native of Edge itel'- District, and a former slave bf tho Hammond estate. NEAKLT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Yesterday afternoon as the down passenger train on the South Carolina Railroad was about to stop at the depot here, a little white boy attemptedto step on the platform, but missed his footing and slipped between the cars. As he was falUng he was caught by a colored man and was dragged from under the wheels. The little fellow's pantaloons were badly torn, and his leg slightly bruised. He made a narrow escape from being killed, and has doubtless received a warning which will prevent bim from again attempting to ju mi on a car while In motion. CUTTING REMARKS.-In the office of the Sec? retary of State, Cardoza, at Columbia, the engross? ing clerks are employed. They, of coarse, have the engrossing work onljr^during the session or %'iit Legislature. Last Tuesday, when the Legis? latura adjourned, Cardoza presented each one of the clerks with a pocket knife; bi doing which he made them a speech, saying that he did not desire to cat their acquaintance; that they had had very little scratching (erasing) to do of late, bat be? tween then and the next session of the Legisla? ture they would probably have to scratch a great .deal. .

ENTERPRISE RAILROAD COMPANY.-THE NEWS has already published the provisions of the bill to Incorporate the Enterprise Railroad Company, to -run through the principal streets of the city, hav? ing its termini at the Battery and the Ten-mile H1U. A few days since the incorporators (who are aU me?tbers of the Legislature, and with two or three exceptions colored,) met m Columbia and elected R. H. Cam president; J. H. Ralney, secre? tary; W. J.

Recently Mr. Shuler had been living in Walterboro", In this State, where he died. "Alter life's titrai fever," may the gallant soldier and good citizen "sleep well." PrLOTAGE.-The Board of Pilot Commission? ers, at a recent meeting, passed a resolution "that no steamboat shall b* allowed to tow a ves? sel over the Georgetown bar, unless she has a licensed pUot on board." This is a necessary pre? caution, as this bar, on account of shifting Bands, frequent'T ohanges the depth of water. The re? port of the pilots showed nine feet tn the month of January, and only seven and a half on the 1st of Marsh. The board have suspended for twelve months the pilot who had charge or the schooner Eliza Pike when she struck on the bar, causing her total loss. They also suspended for six months the pilot who was In charge of the schooner W. H. Steele when she struck on the sunken monitor Patapsco. In complianoe with a resolution lately;adopted oy the City Council, "authorizing the harbormas? ter to sell, at public outcry, all hulls or sunken vessels obstructing navigation in thc harbor, which, after thirty days' notice to the owners, nav*not been removed," the hull of the sloop Mary Ann, lying north of Market wharf, will be sold on thc 16th instant. AMUSEMENTS. Lurline at the Academy. The spectacular and operatic play of "Lur? line'' will be produced at the Academy of Music on Monday night. The subject of the play is the well-known German legend of the water-spirit of the Rhine, who fascinates anil leads astray a daring knight, who, upon his first leave of ab? sence, falls head over cars in love with a maid of mortal mould, and receives from his watery first love the reward due to infidelity. The music ls taken chiefly from Vincent Wallace's "Lurline,," one of the most charming melodies of English operas. The scenery ls promise1, to be exceed? ingly beautiful, and no expense will be spared to make it exceed in gorgeous splendor the scenery of Humpty Dumpty and the Field of the Cloth of Gold. All the company will appear In the oast, and the public may look for a treat. The Matinee To-Day. At the matinee this afternoon the Indescribable Humpty Dumpty burlesque and pantomime will be played for che last time. This piece bas mn the whole week, almost an unprecedented thing in Charleston, and the matinee will give hun? dreds more, of little folk and large folk, a chance of beholding all Its undiminished splendor. This is the last chance. Let them seize it who can. Laura Keane's Dramatic Company. The Laura Keane Dramatic Company begin their engagement at the Academy of Music OH Monday, thc 14th instant. This company has played very successful engagements in Philadel? phia and Baltimore; and In Washington, where other companies of note were-performing at the same time, their engagement was extended from one week to five weeks. Miss Keane herself has a national reputation, and she is thoroughly well supported. "Humpty Dumpty" Had Its last appearance but one last night Owing to its being the Lenten season, there was nov, as large an audience as on the previous nights. This comparatively small audience had no depressing influence either upon the actors or the audience. The former performed their vari? ous parts with their accustomed spirits, and were received with the usual well-merited applause. To-night there will be presented "The Field of the Cloth of Gold," and "Harlequin Hnmpty Dumpty," and will be well worthy of seeing. Policyholders' Life and Tontine Assur? ance Company of the South. MEETING OF TUB HOARD OF TRUSTEES. OFFICE OF THE POLICYHOLDERS' LIFE AND TON? TINE ASSURANCE CO. OF THE SOUTH, No. 29 BROAD STREET, CHARLESTON, March 4,1870. Pursuant to adjournment, the board of trus? tees of the company met at the office of the com? pany on the 1st instant. ?ba? Present-Wm. McBurney, president; ?. P. Alex? ander, vice-president; Geo. E. Boggs, secretary; John T. Darby, M. D., medical advisor; Robert Mare, Wm. C. Bee, J. R. Pringle, L. D. Mowry, J. R. Oakes, Andrew Simonds. W. K. Ryan, Jame* Conner, Geo. W. Williams, W. G. Whlldcn, G. H. Mottett, A. S. Johnston, Ell Gorey, G. H. McMas ter, Z. B. vance. A majority being present, the president called the meeting to order. He stated that in accord? ance with iastructions from thc Committee on In? surance, the secretary had recently visited Sa? vannah, Ga, to confer with gentlemen of that city with reference to the establishment of a branch office there. The result of the visit was the presence of General dimer and Mr. Duncan, representing the interest felt In the enterprise In that city. On motion, General J. F. Gilmer, and Messrs. Wm. Duncan. John Sc re ven and John L. nardee, of Savannah, were elected trustees of the com? pany. General Gilmer and Mr. Duncan took part in th? proceedings during the remainder of the day. The president further staten that it was his painful duty to announce to the board that Henry Coblo, one of its number, and one of the first to Identify blmseli^with the enterprise, had been removed by death since its last meeting, In Janu? ary last. He was prevented by sickness from uniting with us on that occasion, and passed "to the land where no traveller returns" before he had an opportunity of beneflttlng us by his coun? sel or availing himself of the advantages offered by our organization. To give expression to the Joss onr board has sustained in thc death of Mr. Col la and our sympathy with lils bereaved family, will be the melancholy privelege of the board before proceeding with the business of the meeting. On motion, Mr. Whllden and General Conner were appoiated for that purpose, who submitted, through Mr. Whllden, the following resolutions: It ls seldom that so many of the various chari? table societies and business corporations or the city are called to mourn thc death of a single In? dividual. Th h board, realizing their misfortune In the loss of the services and counsel of their member, who has been called away In the midst of his usefulness, and. sympathizing with the va? rious boards with which the late Henry Cobla was connected, heartily endorsing thc many en? comiums that have been passed on lils virtues and his usefulness, and feeling with them that as a board and as citizens we have lost a useful member, and the community a worthy citizen, would add this tribute to his memory. Cut off, as he has been, ere he could reap thc benefits proposed by this association, which he would have labored to have built up for the bene? fit of his fellow-men, we would cherish his memo? ry: therefore bc lt Resolved, That in the death of their late mem? ber. Henry Cobla, Bsa., ibo members of this board realize that they nave lost one who, had he been spared, would have aided them with his counsel aud have directed them with his sound judgment, ami that, with the other associations with which he was connected, they realize tully the lass they have sustalued. Resolved, That a copy of the preamble and resolutions bc sent to the lamlly or the deceased, spread upon this minute of thu board, and pub? lished In the daily newspapers. Mr. John H. Devereux was unanimously elected to fill the place made vacant by the death of Mr. Cobia. The president called Tor the report of thc Com? mittee on By-laws. General Conner, from the committee, stated that the committee had not been able to agree on a report; that two reports were submitted, and as they were very dissimilar, he recommended that the present committee be discharged and another committee appointed who might harmonize thc two reports. On motion, the committee was discharged and a committee ot seven, consisting or Messrs. Bee, Duncan, Vance, Darby, Conner, Boggs, with the president as chairman, appointed. The meeting adjourned to receive the report of the committee, at 5 o'clock, P. M. AFTERNOON S5S5ION-5 P. M. A quorum being present, the president called the meeting to order.

The human body ls chiefly composed or tissues and fibres, as sensitive to every change in the condition of the atmosphere as the most delicate electrometer, or the quicksilver in a barometer tube. The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs, and the excretory organs are especially liable to be affected by these variations, and the best de? fence against their disastrous tendency ls to keep the digestive machinery, which feeds and nour? ishes the whole system, in good working order. ir the stomach is weak or disordered, neither the blood nor the bile can be in a healthy state; and npon the fitness or these two important fluids ror the offices assigned to them by nature, and th8 regularity or their flow, health m a great measure depends. When the air ls heavily laden with chilling va? pors, as lt orten ls at this season or the year, the digestion should be an object or peculiar care, lt lt ls weak and languid, the whole physical struc? ture will be enervated, ir it ls vigorous, the en? tire organization will be strong to resist the un? toward and depressing influence of a damp and vitiated atmosphere. A pure and powerful tonic ls therefore espe? cially needed os a safeguard against the diseases most common In the spring; and HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, being the most whole? some and potent medicine of the class at present known, a coarse of it is particularly ad? visable at this period of the year. The stomach will thereby be toned and strengthened, the liver and bowels regulated, the nervous system braced up, and nature put In a slate of active defence against the miasma which superinduces inter? mittent and remittent fevers, rheumatism, ner? vous debility, headache, hypochondria and other complaints which are apt to assail the un? tuned and unfortified organizations. The body ls strengthened without exciting the brain, and consequently no unpleasant reaction follows its reviving and renovating operation. feb28 6 ^NO MOKE MEDICINE.-SEVENTY thousand cures without medicine by DuBarry's delicious REVA'LENTA 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.

This is a most desirable object In a practical, scriptural and medical sense-by attending to the latter, the two former can be achieved.
