A WORB OP CAUTION.-We are requested to rgive notice that no persons whatever are ; authorized, at this time, to collect subscrlp tiona for the Union Reform party, or for any purpose connected therewith. THE STEAMSHIP ASHLAND.-The attention of "New York shippers ls called to the advertise? ment of the large screw steamship Ashland, to .sall for New York on Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock, instead of 6 o'clock, as heretofore an? nounced. DISTURBANCE tv ASHLEY STREET.-On Sun . day night there was a shameful disturbance in Ashley street. Swearing and scurrillity mied the hour. Several of the parties- implicated were tried on yesterday, two of whom are ? held over for prosecution. ASSAULT ON |THE POLICE_Stepney Small, : Pompey Virgil, Edward Sweeney. R. Richard? son and J. Richardson, charged with commit? ting an assault upon Policemen Goodrich on Saturday night last, were arraigned before Trial Justice Levy on yesterday morning. In default of bail for their appearance at court, they were committed to jail. THE CROPS.-Letters from planters in the interior, to their factors in this city, unani? mously agree that the crops, both of corn and . cotton, are finer than they have been at this season' any year since the war. It is to be sincerely hoped that these. fair prospects of our planting community may- be realized, that no future blight may rendez the present sea? son another of our agricultural failures. FINK PASS AQ a.-The favorite steamship Man - h at Un,,Cap tain Woodhull, arrived Off the bar yesterday afternoon, several hours be lore .<h$k, making the run ?"rora New. York in the excellent time of fifty-one _hours. The Man? hattan, brings a "large freight and passenger j list Captain Woodhull and his superior vessel will, by these unsurpassed trips, still increase in popularity._ RECOVERY OP STOLEN GOODS.-The delec ? tl ve force overhauled a quantity of stolen goods on yesterday. The articles consisted of j a general assortment of groceries, dry goods and clothing, also one pistol, and were identi? fied as the property of Mr. Dieckhoff. They were found. In possession o? William Small and Samuel Jackson, colored. The proof is suffl -clent to convict. MILITAIT.-The colored element of the Ring supporters seemed to be thoroughly imbued with the martial spirit. A body of colored militia paraded the streets, with infinite pomp of appearance, on yesterday. Probably these sons of Mars will soon have an opportunity to offer their services to Napoleon or King Wil? liam, as arbitrators in the European difficulty. Un such an event, the French and Germans, no .doubt, would be like the 4,Rebs," so greatly awed as to "fight no more." FIRS.-On yesterday morning, at 4:15 A. H., tare waa'dlscovered in the building on King street occupied "as a store by Messrs. Bennett A Alexander. The house is owned by Mr. Harris, and was insured in a company repre? sented hy S. Y. Tupper, Esq. The damage to ; the building is not estimated at more than six hundred dollars. The stock was considerably -Injured both by the fire and the water from the -engines. We were unable to ascertain wheth? er it waa insured. The fire department were promptly, on the spot, hence the comparatively i slight damage. The fire was no doubt the - work of an incendiary. INQUISITIVE.-Now and then the more hon . est "Republicans are heard to make some very 'Pertinent queries aa to the disposition made by the Ring of certain State funds. To some o fi?ne ra the disappearance of the school appro? priation of $120,000 seems marvellous. Others wish to know with what truth Daddy Cain can admit that he took phosphate money, and, as au ext?nuation of the offence, plead that be . used lt for the good of the colored people. Oh ! -that is all plain enough. Daddy Cain is colored himself, and he only bought property In Brook. - lyn for his own use. That is, for the use of the colored people, of course, when the Paddy" ' shall have made money enough and loaves Charleston for his Northera home. DISCORD AT THE CORNXB_There was an at- i tempt ou the part of Sam Dickerson, colored, 'to have a mass meeting of the DeLarge fae tl on, at the Courthouse, on yesterday morn? ing, to nip In the bud the Influence of the Bowenites, who were to assemble at the Bat? tery in the afternoon. But the meeting was nc^t, a success. Samuel had the misfortune to ; b? confronted by Evans, colored, a Bo we ni te orator, who, from the repeated cheers of his auditors, seemed to get the better of him. But as misfortunes never come singly, this was not tlie end of his ill-luck. Captain Hendricks seemed to think him a turbulent fellow, and interfered to such an extent as to render his object a failure, leaving the Bowenites in pos? session of the field. Samuel retired somewhat -crestfallen. -? How TO BB COMPORTABLE IN HOT. WEATHER. There is nothing more conducive to health And comfort in this torrid spell of weather -through which we are passing, than the use of J reasonable and well fitting under-clothing of I "the best make. To those whose supply of j linen and furnishing goods needs replenishing, we commend a visit to Scott's well known shirt emporium In Meeting street, nearly op? posite the Market, where all the latest and most luxurious styles of summer goods for gentle? men maybe seen, displayed la tempting array. The star Shirts and collars of this establishment are already famous, while the stock of cham? pion braces, paper collars In endless variety, men's underwear and neckties that rival the wings of the gossamer in airy grace, suggest on every ?ide the ways and means of healthful, cleanly, tasteful and comfortable dress. Call m^QOWB Vii take a look around. - -'I ! fcl - A RADICAL CARNIVAL. .The Mau Meeting at W?klte Point Garden. ? Agreeably to the general announcemehi, the supporters of the "HOE." Christopher Colum? bus Bowen assembled at the Battery at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, to listen to a speech from-their favorite. The DeLarge fac? tion, mindful of their discomfiture at the Court? house In the morning, presented themselves in rall force on the occasion, with the apparent determination of annoying their opponents to the best of their ability. From the commence? ment of his speech, Bowen had frequent Inter? ruptions by T. J. Mackey and others. As he proceeded the clamor became worse and worse, but it was not until he commenced an exposition of the "Phosphate Ring" that the din became universal At this time the words of the speaker were completely drowned by the shouts, yells and curses of the uproarious multitude. A general collision seemed imminent, and the most strenous ex? ertions of the police were scarcely able to quell the tumult In the meantime the speaker discontinued bis remarks. Order being par? tially restored, he again proceeded, touching lightly on the Rev. B: F. Whlttemore. Here the disorder broke out afresh, with accumu? lated violence from its partial cessation." An effort was made by the DeLarge party to reach the speaker's stand and take him down. This was resisted by Bowen's partisans, while the confusion occasioned by the movement reached a point of howling disorder worthy of a modern Babel or small-sized Pandemonium. Amid these scenes of general riot, the speaker closed his remarks, which of course no one could hear. Having concluded, Mr. Bowen was surround? ed by his friends, and cheered' by deafening shouts and general congratulation, while the DeLarge party showered upon him their curses, hoots and re vii Inga with unabated vigor. In the general contusion, Trial Justice Mlshaw came forward and read a series of re? solutions, but such was the Incessant noise that scarcely a syllable was audible. Mlshaw hav? ing finished reading, both he and Bowen were taken upon the shoulders of their enthusiastic adherents and borne away, with colors flying and drums beating, np East Bay street. After the Bowen party bad left the grounds, T. J. Mackey seized the opportunity ot de? nouncing the organ of the Scott Ring, which he called "a lying sheet" This brought to the scratch a Mr. Willoughby, one of the at? taches of the abased newspaper. Some words passed, and T. J. Mackey then belabored Wil? loughby severely with a cane. Just at this moment Mackey himself was struck on the the head, and felled to the ground. About this personal rencontre there are contradicto? ry accounts, but what ls above given seems to be*about the truth. Whilst Bowen and Mlshaw were present, the assemblage seemed to number six or eight hundred, the greater part of whom followed the procession np East Bay. Those remaining adopted and sent to THE NEWS for publication the following resolution: ^Resolved, by the Republicans of Charleston, in mass meeting assembled, That we heartily endorse the nomination ot R. C. DeLarge for Congress as an assertion of the great and long delayed principle ot personal representation of the colored race In the national legislature, and we pledge him our votes as the regular nominee of the Republican party. Taken asa whole, the affair was one of the most shameful burlesques upon a public poll cal meeting that has ever been known In Charleston. 9 SHARE. ! SHARK ! SHARE ?-The city re? sounds on all sides with this cry from the, "Gamins" wno collect on the wharves dally, watching for the grand spectacle about to be presented to their view, and. which ls at last no longer a "bite" or a "nibble." They are running along with the man of steady paces, who finds himself also Infected with the ex? citement, and ls hurrying to be in at the death. For weeks past the young gentlemen con? ducting the affairs of North Atlantic wharf have had a shark line baited and set, and at various times have succeeded In catching tiger sharks of from four to five feet in length; bet In every Instance where one larger has been hooked, the line was cut or the hook carried; so finally a hempen line of sufficient strength to hang any two. men at the same time, and a hook that would not break with a whale attached, was secured, and last, though not leasta delicate pig's liver was nicely ad Justed to tempt the monsters voracious appe? tite. Time passed and all were beginning to fear that "love's labor was about to be lost" when Iq ! such a jerk, whiz, and the line tightens until lt fairly smokes. Give him the line ls ri h outed (which was totally superfluous verbi? age, for the fish took lt nolens voleas. ) Every one is chattering and giving advice, and no single counsel ls heeded, Mr. Shark all the time having his own way. By this time four or five stout, muscular chaps had charge of the end of the line, opposite to which the shark was dancing vis-?-vis with a chassez and rechassez at Ugh tu nj speed. His pluck was good, but his ;)tieagth was giv? ing way under the vigorous pull at the shore. end of the line. Ten times had he been drawn near the wharf, and ten times a disinclination to surrender was shown by a form-back-two movement, which all respected. The eleventh heat was the con? queror; this time he was drawn to the surface, and a hurrah from fifty or sixty faces, white, black and mottled, all peering into the deep, announced the winning of the fight But al? most as soon as the voices were bushed the fish made a desperate effort to free himself from the hook which was causing him so mush anguish; at the same time crimsoning the water immediately around, lashing the element Into foam, striking here, there and everywhere heedlessly with his pow? erful tall and fins, and determined to die game. With the assistance of a boat propelled to the Hcene of action, a slip-knot was fixed under his fins, and the monster was landed-every one delighted, and all East Bay running to have a glimpse. All gathered around, keeping- well out of range of the caudal appendage, passed their comments, at which the fish assumed a shark lsh expression, turned up the whites of his eyes prayerfully and died. He measured twelve feet from tip to tip, and his liver will be reduced to oil. A BRAVE WOMAN.-A courageous deed was performed by a Germau lady named Mrs. Strong, at her house on Bogard street, yester? day morning. Shortly before daylight she was awakened by a noise on the piazza, and on looking toward the open window she beheld an unknown man leaning forward aud peep? ing cautiously Into the room Instead of screaming and fainting, as usual with ladles in such cases, she quietly awakened her hus? band and then suddenly sprung through the door on the piazza anrl seised the interloper before he could effect his escape. Her hus? band, who ls some wha ? crippled, went at once to her assistance, and they in tura stood guard over their prisoner while each was dressing. After completing their toilet they took the prisoner between them, and marched him off to the Guardhouse. Bnx HEAPS printed on flue paper at $3, ll, $5, $6 50 and $8 60 per thousand, according to size, at THE NEV g Job Office. FREE SPEECH.-The rioWCis proceeding? the Radical Biog, at White Point Garden, on yesterday, was a striking example of the in? consistency of their acts with their profes? sions. They raise a greater and louder clamor1 for the enjoyment of this privilege than any people in the world, and at the same time do. not allow lt among themselves. "Oh ! con? sistency, thou art a jewel." FIRE.-About eleven o'clock last night, dre was discovered in the building occupied by C. Michael as a fruit and tobacco store, Ko. 87 East Bay. The flames were quickly suppressed by the prompt arrival of the Are companies. The damage was inconsiderable. A part of the stock was covered by insurance, in a company represented by Wm. B. Heriot. Esq. Origin of the Are unknown. CRUMBS.-The police made a descent upon a gambling party in Beaufaln street on Sunday. One of the number was arrested. Cotton is opening In the up country, and the picking season will soon commence. The grass caterpillar has appeared in St. An? drew's Parish. The street cars had their track monopolized a part of the time yesterday by the parade of the "Delaney Rifles." The Second Congressional District will have a hui representation in Congress, If the su p porters of Bowen and DeLarge do what they say they will-elect both. The thermometer indicates an abatement ol the heat since the rain on yesterday. DEATH FROM INJURIES.-William Carroll, colored, died yesterday morning, at the City Hospital, from Injuries received on the South Carolina Railroad, near Ladson's Station, on the 29th of last month, It appears the de? ceased was in company with a number of laborers on a crank car, when, by accident, lt ig supposed, he fell in front of the car, at the time In motion, and was run over, after which he was brought to the city and conveyed to the hospital. Dr. Buist, hospital physician, made a post-mortem examination, and gave as his opinion that the deceased died from a com? pound fracture of the right thigh and of the spinal column. A Jury was Impanelled yester? day by Coroner Whiting, but, owing to the ab? sence of witnesses, they adjourned until to? morrow. A NEW TELEGRAPH OFFICE.-It is a good sign of the progress 0f our city that we have now three separate and distinct telegraph offices-the malu office in Broad street, a branch office at the Charleston Hotel, and a branch office at the Mills House. The last named office will be opened to the public this morning, and from lt messages may be sent to Europe, and to all parts ot the United States with the same rapidity and at the same rates as from the main office. The habitu?s will doubtless appreciate the new convenience afforded them by the energy of the proprie? tors and the business liberality of the Tele? graph Company, and will be convinced, more firmly than ever, that the Mills House shall be wanting in none of the attributes of a first class hotel.

PLE.-The vital and the muscular systems are entirely distinct from each other. A man may have the brawn of a Hercules, but If he ls deficient m vital energy he will not wear as well, or last as long, or be as healthy and happy while he does last, as the man of ordinary or even slender build, who possesses a larger share of this ani? mating principle. One of the greatest recommen? dations of that pure vegetable Invlgorant, HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, is that it in? creases the vital force or the system. No medi? cine can donble the volume of a man's muscle or thicken and vulcanize his the wt -nd smews; but Hostetter's Bitters has an effeot much more im? portant. Its use promotes constitutional vigor. It reinforces the life-power, of which bone and smew and muscle are merely the Instru? ments, holding the same relation to lt that ma? chinery does to steam. Let the slight and appa? rently fragile take heart; they may have more stamina, though far less physical strength, than the broad-shouldered athletes they regard with envy. To restore, to sustain, to Increase this stamlnal principle, which, when in full supply, ls the source of health and the best guarantee of longevity, is a special property of the famous re? storative.
