CUAMB^R OF COMMERCE.-The Chamber of 1 Commerce met yesterday at their new hali, ' corner of East Bay and Broad streets. Vice- ' President S. Y. Tupper in the chair. ( On taking the chair, Mr. Tupper, in a fev ' elegant and exceedingly appropriate remarks, 1 -congratulated the Chamber upon the occupa- ' tion of their new hall, and expressed the hope ( that a continued prosperity would soon again place our merchants upon the high footing ' they formerly; held in the commercial world. Mr. Tupper addressed the Chamber as fol? lows : Gentlemsn - For more than eighty years the Chamber of Commerce may be said to have been without a local habitation or a home. It has drifted about from hotels to taverns, and .from marble halls to the dingy corners of some public office-wherever our friends would take us in, or money aftbrd us a temporary resting place. We have now, I trust, a permanent home, and have set about the responsible duties of housekeeping. Here, at all times, we can come together for purposes or recreation, or the more profitable meetings for business con? ferece, and the interchange and acquirement of commercial Information. With a reading roc B, under the management of our expe? rienced friends ol the Courier, and the latest news and dispatches upon our bulletin boards, we shall be at no loss during business hours where to Introduce our friends and correspon? dents from abroad, when the duties of the .counting-house affords us but little leisure for tleir entertainment. I congratulate you, therefore, gentlemen, ?upon taking possession of your new hall, and I trust by frequent intercourse here that a stronger bond of union will be formed among us; that the high integrity which has ever characterized this body will be steadfastly cherished, and the Influences of this ancient Chamber continue to go forth, as in former days, to the encouragement of industry, hon? esty and enierprlse, and. above all, to the res? toration ot that golden age when the mention or" a Charleston merchant was significant of .high honor and intelligence, and commercial probity was the great characteristic of our people. Recurring to the subject of these rooms, your committee, charged with the duty of pre? paring them for y our accommodation, will have the satisfaction of reporting that the workmen have completed their labors, the owner has surrendered the keys, and the apartments are aow in your possession. In addition to the suit of rooms before you, it was deemed advisable, as promoting the convenience and comfort of the Chamber, to secure a portioa of the third story of the building, for the purposes of a club or com? mittee room, and this they were able to effect at an additional but inconsiderable sum per annum. The committee have now proceeded in this matter us far as they felt authorized, under .the report and resolutions adopted by the Chamber. All that remains for them to ask 13, that a suitable appropriation should be made for the furnishing ol the rooms in a manner consistent with the dignity ot" this body. And for this special purpose I have invited your at? tendance here to-day. Major J. T. Welsman, fron the committee on the hall, made a report, recommending -certain purchases essential to the complete furnishing of the hall, and the comfort of the members and visitors to the Chamber. The report was unanimously adopted, and the .chair was authorized to appoint a committee .of five to carry out its suggestions, as follows : Messrs. John H-inekei, Cowlam Graveley, W. J. Middleton, William Aiken Kelly and Stephen L. Howard. A communication from the committee on the old Customhouse building was received as .information. Mr. A. R. Taft was unanimously elected a member of the Chamber. On motion of Major D. L. Wardlaw, the chair was authorized to appoint a committee to take charge of the hall. There being no further business, on motion, the Chamber adjourned, and the members | partook of a collation. Since our late sketch of the building the main hall of the Chamber has received the fin? ishing touches, and the adjoining reading room has been supplied with ample and sub sttatia! newspaper files. The hall may be now considered complete, with tue exception of chairs and tables, which will be soon added. MASS MEETING OF OCR GERMAN CITIZENS. To-night, in the hail of the Academy of Music, there will be a grand mass meeting of our German citizens, who desire to give a public expression of their deep sympathy for their Fatherland in the straggle in which it is now engaged witt France. Taero will be several prominent speakers present, who wili address the meeting. The assemblage will also, at in? tervals, unite ia singing some of the songs of the Fatherland. All are cordially invited to attend. THE HEALTH or CHARLESTON AN? TUE FALL TRADE.-It ls a matter of congratulation among our citizens that, notwithstanding the exces? sive heat of the summer, now near its close, the health of our city has been and is so ex? celled. The -'early birds" among our country friends a;:d customers are beginning to make their af,^carance. and declare that they have never known the stocks o? our merchants and I jobbers to be so full and attractive. In fact, I Charleston ls prepared to do a big business this coming fall and winter, and, unless all the signs ia;!, she will have it to do. REFORM WARD Mi ETING.-A large and en? thusiastic meeting cf the voters of Ward No. S was held in their hail, corner of King and Line streets, last night, Mr. Sigwald in the chair. Eloquent and stirring addresses were deliver? ed by Colonel Seymour, Mr. Black, Rev. Jonas Byrd and others. The lateness of the hour forbids us from saying more of the addresses than that they were earnest and true, and were listened to with deep attention. INLAND NAVIGATION-THE STEAMER ELIZA HANCOX.-The Savannah papers state that the fine steamer Eliza Hancox ls now en route for that port from Norfolk, aud will be placed on the Charleston route, stopping at Beaufort and all intermediate landings. She will also run to the Satilla River, Darien, Brunswick and way points, making weekly trips. The Eliza Hancox is a first-class steamer, of beautiiul build and commodious in ull her arrangements. She is also noted for her swift sailing and sea? going qualities. She will be commanded by Captain S. W. Burns. UNION REFORM CLOU. WARD No. 3.-The reg? ular weekly meeting of this club was convened , on Tuesday evening, the president, John F. Britton, in the chair. There were present over two hundred persons, and the meeting was most enthusiastic. The various committees appolnted;presented reports, and, after the transaction of the usual business, trie meeting was addressed by Mr. N. C. McIntyre, who, while not being accustomed to engage in political speaking, felt compelled to aid by his voice the Reform movement. He acknowledged himself a Northern man and a Republican, but he thanked God that neewaa not a Radical He paid particular attention to the many adventurers with which the South is at present afflicted.. He addressed himself ] to his colored hearers, and pointed out the means which had been used to defraud them of their highest prerogative. He told them that their Interests were with the natives of South Carolina to aid ia reforming the government under which they live. He would ask the col? ored people to remember the great men who heretofore controlled the State of South Caro lina. and presented a striding comparison be? tween South Carolina's past greatness and the horde of adventurers who now held the gov? ernment in hand. Mr. Mclutyre closed his re? marks amid loud cheering. Mr. Mackey being called out. spoke with much effect. He felt proud in saying that In his dealings with the people of South Carolina ae had nothing to complain of; every act had jeen in keeping with their assertions. His iesire was that the Reform movement should >e carried on vigorously, and that success ivould crown the effort. He dwelt at".great ength upon the mismanagement of our State [Jovernment, showing by argument that the Reform party possessed the means of making the campaign a successful one. Mr.] Mackey was listened to with marked attention, and his remarks cannot but result In much good. He closed amid prolonged applause. Mr. Harper followed next, and the only regret we feel is that we are unable to glv; his remarks in full. His happy hits fell with idling effect. Mr. T. B. King being Introduced to the meet? ing, spoke with his usual force. Time and space prevents further notice of Slr. King's re? marks, but the attention rainltested by the audience, gave proof o: the convincing truths uttered by the speaker. The meeting at a late hour then adjourned. MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL.-A regular meeting of the City Council was held last r.!ght, at which were present Mayor Pillsbury. Aldermen Geddings, Cunningham, Thorne. Hampton, E. P. and L. F. Wall. McKinlay. Potter, Howard. Voigt. Small, Holloway and Collina. The minutes of the hut meeting were read and confirmed. PETITIONS. Petition of sundry citizens of Ward 8 pray? ing that a sewer be sunk on the west side of | Rosa lane, was referred to the committee on streets. Petition of the Young America Steam Fire Engine Company, asking that a building on Hayne street, formerly occupied by thc Charleston Fire Company, be given to them, as their own building was unfit for use, was referred to the committee on the Fire Depart? ment. Petition of the officers and directors of the South Carolina Institute, praying that the City Council loan the institution $15,000 on lands of the institute, to aid thu institute In making Its approaching fMr successful, was referred to the committee on ways and means. Petition of sundry dealers In petroleum oil, requesting that the ordinance providing that the oil be stored above Line street, be not en? forced, and that Venning's and Marsh's wharves be designated as places for storlug the oil, was laid on the table. REPORTS, Set'. The return of the City Sheriff for the month of August was $363. The committee on accounts presented bills aggregating $13,840, which were ordered to be paid-except the Lunatic Asylum bill, which will be sent back for corrections. The committee on brick and wooden build- ! ings reported favorably upon the petition of Mrs. Susan Armstrong: also, favorably on the petition of Mr. Yon Santen. The committee on assessment reported that all petitions lor a reduction of assessment on property were referred to the appraise/, who made and submitted a tabular statement show? ing the value of said property in 1303, 1S69 and 1870, and expressed his opinion in his re? port to the committee that the assessment was as fair as could be made. The committee further reported that there were one hundred and forty applications for a reduction, and the pieces of property, one hundred and seventy In number, valued, according to assessment of 1870, at $1,736,375. The value of the same property In 18C9 was $1,392,'J83; and the com? mittee recommended that the petitions be not granted. The report was adopted. The ordinance to repeal an ordinance to prevent the erection of wooden buildings, and to provide greater security against urea, waa preaented for ratification and duly ratified. On motion of Alderman Smalls, Council at 10 o'clock adjourned. FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. Suit- and Costumes-The New Autumn Costumes, ?fcc. NEW YORK. August J". There ls one great advantage in the present style, and that is that all the old dresses that have lain in the bottom ot* trunks for a hun? dred years can be utilized. Long, short, nar? row, straight, makes no difference, all can be turned to account and arranged to complete the prettiest toilettes that milliners ever in? vented. The most costly dresses ever worn were the plain waists and long, full, single skirts, which preceded the present fashion of walking dresses. Every seam and rent and bare spot showed to such conspicuous advan- ' tage, that only while a dress W3s quite new could one be perfectly sure that it was comme ? faut. Let it once show signs of wear upon the edces or acquire the dreadfully dragged and mired appearance which a few ef? forts at pedestrianism gave it, and, alas ! poor Yorick, it was ali over- the evidence of accidents or wear could neither be cut off not covered up. Costumes of course are not eco? nomical to those who patronize high-priced dress-makers, and use always new materials and new trimmings, and there are those who think lt so very Wow" to do otherwise that one lases caste In their eyes by speaking of the possibility. Nevertheless one must lake the risk, for the sake ot those who like pretty things, just as well as Miss Jap?nica, but have not Miss Jap?nica'? sublime trust in "Papa" and a rich husband to draw upon. A lady re? marked the other day that she had fitted out her daughter for boarding-school, and two others for summer trips and visits among friends, by using up old things that she had in the house for years. Now, there may be a doubt about the wisdom that permits women lp buy so much more than they can wear out, while ic is fashionably worn, but still they do it, and unused garments will ac? cumulate so until women have more sense and can better employ their time. It ls just as well to furnish them fresh ideas by which they can utilize the old clothes. This blt of practicability may be th 3 reason why costumes have to a certain extent superseded suits, and why the suit complete-hat, gloves and other accesso? ries unllorra with the dress-is now the high? est form of elegance. For the latter every? thing must be perfect, and belong to itself. It cannot be made out of '-pieces. ' It must be new throughout, everything, and that exactly suits fashionable dressmakers and Miss Ja? p?nica. THE NEW AUTUMN* COSTUME. The novelty ot the season is a costume com? posed of several shades of one color. For ex? ample, if the foundation material is green, it will be trimmed with three different shades, darker or lighter, or both, of this color; if brown, with three differest shades of brown, and the hat must correspond in color and shad? ing with the dress. The favorite method of arranging a silk toilette ls to turn it in clusters of ruchings, or narrow ruffles, which may either be bound, pinked or feathered upon the edge. Purple, green, brown or gray shade very finely, blue not so happily, tito dark shades of blue always pre? senting a repulsive and unattractive as? pect. Poplin, merino and empress cloth turn handsomelv with narrow bands of plush in darker shades, or with shaded velvet, which has been imported in small quanties. but will be scarce, because the war renders it difficult to duplicate certain new styles in trimmings and fabrics. There ls, however, a very handsome new trimming of American manufacture introduced this fall, which con? sists of a narrow band ol soft, moss-like plush. It is all silk, and made In all shades ol colors. It ls called ..Marabout." from its softness and beauty, but it is more like velvet moss. It is exceedingly effective when arranged in the different shades of one color upon a plain sur? face. SEW GOODS, AND GOODS THAT ARE NOT NEW BUT GOOD. Among the new importations of the season must be mentioned "wool ?ifme," a beautiful material tor suits, corresponding to tho cotton satine which was so much admired dunns the past summer. The due wool fabric ls, how? ever, much handsomer than any material could be in cotton, and will undoubtedly at once take rank with good poplins and other favorite materials. Belonging to the family of mohairs, but of a higher grade than any we have ever seen in this country, ls the "Turkish Brilliantine." sable brand, lr. ls a.rich, heavy, glossy, black fabric, thirty inches wide, made of the pure wool of the Turkish goat, and quite as handsome as silk. It will undoubted? ly increase the furore for black suits and dresses, which exists quite as much in Paris as in New York. Scotch poplins and English serges reappear, or will shortly, huge cases ol them liavlng been received, and a revival seems likely to take place In all-wool black and white" checks, which are much worn abroad, trimmed with black velvet, and constitute some of the prettiest suits brought on bv ladies who have recently re? turned from Paris. The checks are generally broken. Japanese silks, which we have heretofore seen only In light colors, and fine white and black stripes, will be displayed this fall for the first time In dark autumn colors and In mixed Jasper patterns. The prices are a little higher In the brightest, more decided shades, but the quality is said to be better, and the appearance, especially In the evening, very effective. In plain silk the gros grain and pure poult de soie take the lead of all other styles, and exhibit wonderful beauty and va? riety of color and shading. The latest fabric for urand toilettes ls rich satin brocade, blue, pink" or light green. Il is only adapted to an? tique models, and strictly requires the lace ruffles, the powdered hair and the patches on the rose-l^af complexion. In itself lt simply looks like costly window curtains, and ls prob ablv intended to suit the taste of those persons who caught the Parisian taste and did them? selves in chintz window curtains during the past summer. AN EFFECT OF THE WAH, A singular effect of the war ia already visi? ble in the arrival among us of French artists in dress, who systematize their business as men are accustomed to do whatever they un? dertake, and who, therefore, bring a readi? ness, skill and adaptability with which our slip-shod methods will find ic hard to compete. Their stock in trade consists ot a book of de? signs ot morning, walking, visiting and even? ing costumes. From these any lady can se? lect her toilette, or she c ia have an original one designed lor her which will be entirely different from anything anybody ever had be? fore. The materials are suggested, but can be varied to suit lier taste or her pocket. Peo? ple require a long purse, however, who employ a French artist to design origi? nal costumes for them. One of our large houses has secured a very distin? guished member of the foreign troupe of male dressmakers, and is making to order genuine court costumes, which are to be worn at Re? publican entertainments during the coming winter. No two are alike, and each one ls absolutely a work of art, as perfect and true to its idea as a poem or a picture. Of their evening costumes in process of construction one was of black velvet, yellow satin and real point lace with garniture of flowers; another of purple silk, black satin, wide point applique and ornaments of roses and purple pansies, and the third of white satin, silver lace and f ulle, the two sides of the overdress entirely different-one adorned with white water-lilies in dark lea/es, the other with marabout feath? ers. The cost ot the first mentioned was $1000. SHAWL COSTUMES. '.Bejonia"or shawl costumes were introduc? ed here last spring, and made a certain im? pression on account ol' their originality. With? in a lew weeks they have reappeared, and will undoubtedly achieve a brief popularity, os they are simple. Inexpensive and very con? venient. The most of those on exhibition are made ol' plain gray-mixed long shawls, which are cut right across, one-half serving for the skirt, which is made up with the fringe as a border, the other furnishing the material for a half-fittim; jacket with uadersleevesand basque of unequal lengths to which the fringe is ad ed. The skirt is closed at the back and laid In large box-pleats. It ls open in front and looped up in three large folds at the sides over any dark skirt, walking length, the shawls forming only a long upperskirt and jacket. Made complete they cost only twelve to tltteen dollars, and will therefore be a rage with those who like something ucheap and easy,'' and are not afraid of seeing themselves repeated at every street corner. Shawls of white and black checks, and Scotch plaid, will doubtless be utilized tn this way as the season advances. ODDS AND ENDS. The tunics of buff linen and white muslin which have been worn so largely over black or colored silk skirts, will be repeated in wool sat in?, in cashmere and in alpacca, over silk, poplin and merino, as soon os the weather be? comes sufficiently cold to warrant it. The fashion is as prevalent abroad as in this coun? try; but in Paris the tunics of white muslin are worn over velvet as well as over silk, and are lined with colored sarsaet, and bordered with white lace. Velvet costumes will be distinctively ele? gant the coming season; and those who cannot afford the Lyons article will be fain to console ; themselves with the silk faced velveteen. The new cloth and velvet cloaks simulate coat and waistcoat of an old-fashioned style and cut. Wo. talk about '.novelties," but in reality everything we get ls a resurrection of some old dry bones of the past. nigh bodies for winter house dresses are cut with a postilion basque formed by one lar<*e box-pleat in the lappel at thc back. Pointed waists do not advance very rapidly in popular favor. The principal styles worn are cut with a deep point in the baek, which springs out over the tournure instead of lying c?ase to the figure as formerly. Hooped skirts are a trifle larger, but have not yet got beyond eighty Inches. New mixtures for water-proof cloaks are very pretty. They include green, blue and Humboldt purples New gray water-proof cloaks are very neatly and stylishly trimmed with bands of the same cloth in darker shades, stitched. JENNIE JONE. BUSINESS NOTICES.

Special Notices. pS*TRE SHIVERING SEASON-THE loss to the laboring classes of the United States caused by fever and ague has been estimated at upwards of two millions of dollars per annnm. Whole settlements are sometimes prostrated by the disease, and lt ls regarded ia some localities as one of those visitations ot Providence which cannot be avoided. This ls a mistake. As cer? tainly as any of the evils which are invited by neglect may be forestalled by precaution, so cer? tainly mny an attack of intermittent (or remit? tent) fever be prevented by invigorating the sys? tem with Hosteler's Stomach Bitters In advance of the season at which this malady prevails. Pre? vention, lt ls needless to say, ls the wisest policy; but it ls consoling to know that where time has not been thus taken by the rorelcck, and the par? oxysms have actually commenced, a complete cure may. in all cases, be rapidly effected by the use or this powerful vegetarle tonic. The repu? tation of thc Bitters as a speclt-'c for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation and nervous debili? ty, has in some measure thrown Into the shade Its merits as a preventive and :ure of other ail? ments, but all who have ever taken it, either as a protection against or remedy for ma arioua fe? vers, will admit that ll surpasses In ettlclency all the so-called specifics (tnciudlng quinine) usually prescribed for these maladies, while lt ls at the same time entirely harmless and decidedly pala tab'.e._sepS-snAC pg* NOTICE - OFFICE SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD COMPANY CHARLESTON.

This ls what 'eminent men. have said of Irish Moss as lt was-only half purified and compara? tively unconcentrated. The new article (SEA MOSS FARINE)-which, by the magic or science, has suddenly sprang, pure and perfected, from au old matrix, Ute Minerva from the bed of Jove takes a rar wider range. To us lt ls to reduce the expense or living, to spread the ram. ly board with luxuries costing less than common rare, and large? ly to increase that variety In food which ls said to be essential to health. It ls quickly prepared (ten minutes suillcing to produce a custard or pudding.) and ive think no ono who has once be* come acquainted with its properties will be likely to ever abandon lt as an article of diet. 8epJ-mwl3Dic_ pr SEA MOSS FARINE FOR SALE, Wholesale and Retail, at.

It is due to the publishers, whom the subscriber represents, to say that the "People's Edition" of this great work ls prepared with much care and labor in pursuance of the plan of these writers and under their auspices. It is a greatly im? proved edition, and substitutes English for the Latin, Greek and German quotations, so as to amt readers who, as Dr. Howson says, though well educated, may not find lt convenient to refer to Greek or German books. It is not an American abridgment, bat an English reprint in clear and large type, with translated notes. It may be farther distinguished by its leather Dind? ing, an introduction by the Rev. Dr. Bacon, of Tale College, whose abilities, atadles and travel eminently flt him for the service he thus renders. Thia Edition is, In truth, a "People's Edition," a book for the million, a national blessing. sep2-fmws* W. A. THERRBLL, Agent SSELL'S LIST AGRICULTURAL WORKS, Ac.
