ment or phonographer to Judge Plait's circuit. A
better selection could not have been made.
STATE COURT.-When the court met yester?
day it was Informed or the death or the Hon. W.
F. DeSaussure, and, arter brier eulogistic remarks
from Messrs. Simons, Philips and Yeadon, it ad
. journcd as a mark or respect to the deceased.
CIVIL RIGHTS:-Yesterday several drunken
negroes visited thc barroom or Messrs. Wulbern,
Stelling and others and demanded drinks. At
c^te or two places the liquor was given them
gratis. One o' the negroes had Mr. Stelling ar
rested for, as he alleged, violating the Civil Rights
bill. He gave bail for his appearance for trial.
BANKRUPTCY.-Since the Bankrupt act was
passed, live hundred and thirty-eight persons
have taken advantage of it In ?he Second and Thirl
Congressional Districts, or whom thre? hundred
and ri fry have been discharged. For tb i last year
there have been several involuntary bankrupts,
and but one voluntary bankrupt.
CALHOUN STREET PLANK ROAD.-We have
mentioned that workmen had commenced to
: make a plank road through Calhoun street, from
Ring street to the depot of the Charleston and
Savannah Railroad. It appears that Alderman
Potter, nader whose auspices the road ls being
. constructed, ls acting without authority, and
that steps will be taken to stop the work.
ACCIDENTS.-Yesterday a colored man nam?
ed Jack Flood, while at work upon the steeple of
the new German Chnrcb, opposite the Citadel,
slipped and foll to the ground, receiving serious
injuries. As he was railing he managed to catch
hold or a rope, and partially broke his rall. But
for this he would have been Instantly kilted, lt ls
thought that his injuries wi'l result fatally.
A white man. whose name we could not learn,
had the fingers or his right hand cut on* yesterday
by thc machinery at Claussen's min.
GERMAN IMMIGRATION.-We learn from the
. S?dliche Correspondent that the veteran Captain
F. BaUeor, of Bremen, was in our city a few days
ago. The object or his visit at this time, lt ls under?
stood, was wita a view to making arrangements
for a line olpaekets or steamers between Charles
t * and Bremen, and thus reopen the tide or immi?
gration, interrupted since the death or the
lamented Wieling. Captain F. Ballee r is well re?
membered by our older German citizens as the
predecessor or Captain Wietlng In the transpor?
tation or emigrants from North Germany to this
port. Mr. M. H. Kappelmann, or this city, is the
agent for this new enterprise.
THB PATTERSON CASH.- in our issue of yes?
terday a paragraph occurred relative to the de?
cision of the coarta in Savannah In the oase or
Mrs. Patterson and the Equitable Lifo Assurance
Society, which may mislead the public. We learn
- that there was no question on the part or the so?
ciety as to the payment of thc claim-bot to
whom lt should be paid, as there were three sev?
eral injonctions died against the society, each
party claiming that they had aright to the fonds.
' The society has been prepared to pay tho claim
from the time that they received proofs or death,
according to the terran or the policy, and only
waited for the courts to decide whoso receipt was
. legal in the case._

DEATH OP THE HON. WM. F. DESAUSSURE
EULOOISTIO REMARKS FROM MEMBERS OF TUE
?HAKLSCTON BAK.-When the State Court was
convened yesterday morning, Colonel John Phil?
ips arose and said:
The intelligence has already been conveyed to
us ot the death oran eminent member or thc bar
or this State-the Hon. William F. DeSaussure.
He was the oldest member ot the bar or South
Carolina. He was a gentleman far advanced in
years, and the whole coarse or his lifo has been
that of a very dlstlngulsed and eminent counsel?
lor. He was not only an able lawyer, but an emi?
nent legislator. He occupied a high position In
the Seaate or the United States, and was greatly
respected in the Legislature or his own State. He
Jived without giving offence, and died, I trust, In
peace with his God and in perfect charity with
all mankind. Believing it to be in consonance
with the feelings or the bar, I now move an ad?
journment or the court, in respect to the memory
or this distinguish- d deceased.
Mr. Richard Yeadon followed Colonel Phillips,
-and said:
If^onr Honor please. I ask the privilege or sec?
onding the motion -which has Just been made by
Colonel Phillips. I was well acquainted with Mr.
DeSaussure. Many years sluee lt was my pleas?
ure to serve with him in the Legislature. I en?
dorse folly all my colleague has said In respect to
Mn '. minpnrc. his virtues and his exemplary and
?inoffensive Ufe. He was the son or thc late Chan?
cellor IA.-m unsure, one or the most eminent jurists
that ever occupied a position on the bfnch or
South Carolina, and brother or the late Henry A.
DeSaussure, whose decease we were called to
mourn but two or three years since, and which
was marked at that time by a proper tribute or
respeot by the bench and bar or this cltv. Mr.
DeSanssure was an eminent lawyer, and' one of
the moat distinguished in the land. While he was
most devoted to his profession, he Ailed many
other positions of usefulness. He WUB a devoted
-trustee or the CoUege or South Carolina, and offi?
ciated as chairman of the executive committee or
that noa rd. He had the honor of occupying a
seat in the Senate or the United States, by ap?
pointment or the Executive, to anthe unexpired
term or a deceased senator. A man of his emi?
nent character, learning and virtues Is one whom
lt ts our delight to honor, and whose death wc can
.but lament. I cordially second the motion.
General James Simons said:
I should not do justice to my own reclines if
your Honor pleases, ir I did not, on this occasion
?express my concurrence In the remarks which
have just rallen rrom my brethren in respect to
the pending motion. At another time I will, in
the discharge of my duty, speak more at length
than 1 can on this, In reference to Mr. DeSaus?
sure. My own relations with him from my in?
fancy have been such as to enable me to justify
all that lias been said by the gentlemen who have
proceded me. and especially in respect to his
trusteeship or the college. A lifo-ilme or acquaint?
ance, a service or twenty years with him in that
board, and an association with him In the Legis?
lature, authorizes me to confirm all that has been
said of Mr. DeSaussure's merits. 1 trust the mo?
tion will be granted.
The motion was granted, and an order of ad?
journment was directed to be entered open the
min?tes.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Italian Opera-Martha.
Tho sale of scats for thc season of Italian
Opera will begin this morning at the box office of
the Academy. The scale of prices, it will be
noticed, Is quite moderate, considering the
character of thc entertainment; and we are re?
quested to state shat in no instance will any scat
be secured until it is paid for.
The first performance will he Flotow's charming
opera of "Martha." The Savannah Advertiser
speaking of the prima donna in this part, says:
.'Miss Mcculloch'* Martha pleased us better, ap?
pealed to our sympathies more deeply, than the
bird-like trills or rat H. Her voice, a pnrc so?
prano, of marvellous strength and with a warmth
1 ingering In Its tones that reaches the soul, .vas
far more pleasant to our perhaps unsophisticated
car than all the rlpplings and quavers of the pri?
ma donna who has just left us. Miss Mcculloch
has not the highest charms orstage presence, but
she possesses the power that irresitibly fascinates,
and delights even thc uncultivated mind. Uer
"Last Rose of Summer" was rapturously encor?
ed, and In every bar or the delicious music there
was not a note with which we could conscien?
tiously And rault."
Wyman.
Thc performance of this wonderful ventriloquist
and magician was well attended last night, as lt
fully deserved to be. Those of our readers who
have not visited these performances will have
only three more opportunities to witness an ex?
cellent exhibition, and at thc same time stand a
chance ol securing a prize. The theatre ts now
closed, and there can bc no better way or spend?
ing an evening than in attending these seances.

Meeting of thc Stockholders-Report of
the President-Election of Olfieers, &c.
The regular annual meeting cf Uie Savan?
nah and Charleston Railroad Company was held
at 12 M. yesterday, in the ball ot the Planters' and
Mechanics' Bank.
On motion or President Alexander Isaacs, Hon.
Henry Buist was called to the chair.
Mr. Fisher, secretary or the company, was re
quested to act as secretary of the meeting.
It being ascertained that six thousand seven
hundred and three shares of stock were represent?
ed, more than enough to constitute a quorum, the
chairman announced that the meeting was ready
to proceed to business.
Pre?Kent isaacs then read his annual report,
the third annual report or the company.
THU REPORT
is too I engthy for publication, and therefore we
present thc following synopsis. ItreclteBthat
the operations for the last year are: Receipts
from freight, passengers, Ac, $51,83413; operat?
ing expenses, $46,776 56; excess or earnings, $?,
857 57. During a greater part or the year the cars
were only running as rar as Coosawhatchle, and
to Grahamville only thc last two months of the
year. The road now, excepting In some minor
particulars, is completed, and there ls daily com?
munication between the Cities or Charleston and
Savannah, and makes complete the coast line
rrom Malee to thc Gulf or Mexico. The connec?
tion between our city and Savannah opens a wide
field for the enterprise or our merchants, and the
prospects or the road arc very encouraging, both
In regard to travel and freight.
Arter reciting the {advantages te Charleston
from the completion of tb? road, in attracting
thither the trade (she formerly possessed) rrom
Florida, Southern and Southwestern Georgia, and
Southern Alabama, thc president suggests that the
Sarannah and Charleston Railroad be connected
with the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad depot In
Savannah, which can be accomplished by con?
structing a track five m..cs long; also, that a
railroad bridge be built across the Ashley, rrom
the term Inns or the road across this river, to the
foot of Calhoun street; that then a track belaid
through Calhoun and Washington streets to the
depot of the Northeastern Railroad. The bridge
could be a separate corporation. This plan har'
been adopted lu bridging the Cape Fear River, at
Wilmington, with gratifying results. I have been
informed by capitalists that the bonds of such a
company could be negotiated upon very favora?
ble terms.
The report concludes with a brief notice of the
failure of the contractors to complete the road at
the time agreed upon, compliments the zeal and
efficiency of the employees, and states that there
ls everything to show that the roaa is now enter?
ing upon a career of prosperity which must, in a
few years, make it one or thc best and most re?
munerative roads in the South.
Oa motion of Hon. J. H.? Campbell, the report
was laid on the table until the other reports
could be read.
Mr. C. S. Gadsden, engineer and superintend?
ent of the road, read lils annual report, showing
the o; crations la reconstructing the road, and
expressing thc opinion that lt wonld now com?
pare favorably with other railroads ta thc
country.
The treasurer's report was then read by Mr.
Fisher, after which, on motion or Hon. J. B.
Campbell, all or the reports were accepted, and
ordered to be printed. "
On motion or Mr. DeLeon, the suggestions In
the reports or the president and superintendent
were referred to the board of directors, with
power to act If deemed advisable.
Mr. Marshall moved that thc thanks or thc
stockholders bc tendered to the president, engi?
neer and superintendent, board or directors, and
secretary and treasurer, for the able manner In
which they had discharged their duties during
the past year.
Mr. DeLeon seconded the motion, and in so do?
ing paid a high compliment to the efficiency of
thc officers named, and especially to Presideut
Isaacs, expressing the oplniou that lt was In a
great measure due to him that the road was com?
pleted.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
Hon. J. B. Campbell stated that for a long time,
one or the directors, Mr. Boylston, had per?
formed the duties of president without compen?
sation, and he would recommend that the board
of directors tender to Mr. B. a suitable testimoni?
al as a mark or appreciation or the stockholders
or the company for his services.
Mr. Marshall made a motion to that effect,
which was unanimously adopted.
President Isaacs offered a resolution providing
that hereafter the annual meeting bc held on the
first Wednesday in February, Instead of on the
first Monday In January as heretofore. Adopted.
On motion or President Isaacs, a vote of thanks
was tendered thc president and directors of the
Planters' and Mechanics' Bank for the use or the
ball.
On motion of Mr. DeLeon, an election for six
directors was proceeded with, and Messrs. Mar?
shall, Lengnick and Kaufman were appointed
conductors or tile election. Messrs. Alexander
Isaacs, J. R. Boylston, James H. Taylor, W. S.
Hastie, James B. Campbell and David Jennings
were elected, each one having received 005 votes.
On motion of Mr. Marshall, a vote or thanks
was tendered to Hon. Henry Buist, for the cour?
tesy and Impartiality with which he had pre?
sided.
On motton or Mr. J. H. Taylor, thc meeting ad?
journed.
At a subsequent meeting or the board or direct?
ors, Mr. Alexander Isaacs was unanimously
re-elected president or the company.
CRUKBS.-Messrs. Boinest & Martin have, by
authority of thc Postmaster, placed a letter box
at their store on King, opposite Ann street. This
will prove a great convenience to the residents of
that section or the city.
On and alter the 20th or this month the hours

ST. PATRICK'S DAT.
Legends of the Saint-The Shamrock
How thc Festival iras Chosen-The
Celebration In Charleston.
This day, moro familiarly known as "St.
Patrick's Day in the Morning," will be duly cele?
brated by thc generous, warm-hearted. Impulsive
Irish people. Many have but little reverence for
the memory of the patron salut, from the fact
that thc seventeenth of March generally brings
disagreeable weather; but grumblers arc found
everywhere, and the true Irishman with the
shamrock In his hat, and a grateful heart, will
pay due homage to the memory of St. Patrick
despite bad weather or any other every-day
occurrence. Hie birth place as well as the
burial-place of thc saint have been disputed;
but while England, Wales, Scotland, and Prance
claim thc former honor, general evidence Indi?
cates that he was burled atDownpatrlck, Ireland,
in the province or Ulster, on the coast or the Irish
Sea. He was born about the year 372, carried oft"
hy pirates, and sold into slavery In Ireland, and
employed for awhile as a swineherd on the well
known mountain or Slcamish, In thc County or
Antrim.
Here, during a captivity or seven years, he ac?
quired a knowledge or thc Irish language, omi
cated himself, and became thoroughly acquainted
with the manners, habits and customs or the peo?
ple. Escaping to thc continent, he was succes?
sively ordained deacon, priest and bishop, and re?
turned to Ireland and preached thc Gospel
to Its heathen Inhabitants. He was undoubtedly
a man or benevolent disposition, as thc popular
legends or his driving the venomous reptllos out
or Ireland, rounding churches, abbeys, ic, and
promoting strict habits or temperance among?is
people, wonld seem to indicate; and it ls said that
the footsteps or St. Patrick can be traced, almost
rrom his cradle to his grave, by the names or
places named after him.
The shamrock, "the plant that blooms forever,"
which is almost universally worn In the hat on
this day, bears three leaves upon one stem, and
was used by St. Patrick as a symbol or Illustra?
tion of tne Trinity when preaching to the pagan
Irish; and it is a curious coincidence that thc tro-"
foil In Arabia ls called thamrakh, and was held
eacrcd in Iran as emblematical ol the Persian
Triads. Pliny, In his Natural History, says that
serpents are never seen upon trefoil, and lt pre?
vails against lae sting or snakes and scorpions;
and rrom this we may Infor that thc Irish, In hear?
ing of the Trinity for the Urst time, fancied they
saw some peculiar fitness in their already sacred
plant to shadow forth the newly-revealed and
mysterious doctrine.
Among the distinguished fain Hies or the Scott?
ish aristocracy, os well as among the people or
Ireland, Patrick has been a ravorlte namo down
to the present day, and America, too, has had a
Patrick, whose burning eloquence contributed in
a great measure to banish rrom our soil the an
oestors or those who are to day endeavoring to
crush Ireland and the sons or St. Patrick, and
who taught George III to profit by the example of
a Caisar and Charles I.
The following humorous verses, from the pen
of o popular Irish novelist, explain how the dlf
ferences as to the birthday or Ireland's patron
saint were finally adjusted:
.Twas on the alghth day or March, as some peo?
ple say.
Betwixt midnight and morn, Patrick first saw
the day;
While some would contend on the ninth he was
born,
?And lt was all a mistake betwixt midnight and
morn.
Some fought for thc alghth, for the ninth some
would die.
And who wouldn't see right got a shocking black
eye.
At length the contlntlon so positive grew,
That actt kept a birthday. And St. Patrick had
two,
Till Father McCauley, who showed tblm U<?lr
sins,
Said, "No man can have two birthdays 'ccpt he
be twins;
Don't always be fightln' for alght or for nine
Don't bc always dlvldln', but sometimes klmb'ne.
Klmblne alght wld nine, SEVENTEEN '3 thc mark '
Let that be his birthday !" "Amen," says the
clark.
So they all got blind drank, which complated
their oltss,
And they've kept up the practice rrom that day
to this.
The Hibernian Society will celebrate tho day,
and Its sixty ninth anniversary, by a dinner at
the Hibernian Hall at S o'clock. Thc society will
assemble at 12 o'clock, for the election or oOlccrs
for the ensuing year, and the transaction or other
business.
The members or the St. Patrick's Benevolent
Society, which was organized fifty-four years ago,
will a> semble at Masonic Hall at 8 o'clock A.M.,
and from thence march In procession, accompa?
nied by Muller's brass* band, to St. Patrick's
Church, to attend divine service, at half-post 10
o'clock. An oration appropriate to the day will
be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Moore, and a col?
lection for the benefit or thc orphans In charge or
the Sisters or Our Lady or Mercy will bc taken up.
Thc society will then march through the princi?
pal streets to their hall, where- a collation will bc
provided hy thc committee or arrangements. The
members will reassemble at half-past 3 o'clock
P. M. for the election or oftlccrs and other busi?
ness. At 7 o'clock a supper will be spread at the
Masonic Hall.

p&- COMPLICATED MECHANISM.
Are you aware that you are wonderfully and
fearfully made, and that the complicated and
delicate mechanism of the haman body can be
entirely disarranged by one part being out of or?
der, just as the springs, wheels and cogs of a
clock refuse to go, If even an infinitesimal por?
tion of Mic works is wanting r ,
Being acquainted with this fact, how surpris?
ing lt ls to see hundreds of sensible men and
women going through life like a creaking door,
always complaining and yet never resorting to
any means of improving their health.
Any little violent exercise for a few minutes
will occasion great distress; beating of the heart,
throbbing or the temples and labored and imped?
ed respiration-this is weakness or debility, a
thin and impoverished condition or the blood,
the pabulum or lire.
Nature, by these symptoms, ls making a requi?
sition ror assistance and support. The machi?
nery ls out or order-a screw ls loose somewhere
In the animal mechanism-won't you repair lt?
Won't yon raise up the digestive apparatus to a
healthy couditlon, by a tonic and strengthen big
medicine? Invalids, dyspeptics, nervous and
delicate women, nursing mothers, listen to a
word or advice? Take a course or SOLOMON'S
