A CHALLENGE.- The Palmetto Base Ball dub challenge any organization, or picked nine, in Charleston, to play a match game. THE PEOPLE'S BANK.-We learn that Mr. John Hanckel was elected, yesterday, presi? dent pro tem. of the People's Book, and that Mr. E. Lafitte was elected a director to Mil the .vacancy caused by the resignation ot Mr. John B. Lafitte. THE CROPS IX BARNWELL.-The Journal says: "The cotton fields are white, and all hands are hard at work getting out the crop. General Hagood and Captain Hunter have each got off a few bales, while Mr. Graham, we hear, is ahead of everybody else in the number of I bales already sent to Charleston or ready for ( shipment." A NEW ENTERPRISE.-A cypress manufacto? ry has recently been organized in George? town, in thts State. The business of the com-1 pany ls to make cypress shingles with an im- j proved machine, and we learn that the enter? prise is full of promise to the parties concern- ! ed. The Columbia Guardian says that Thomas E. Gregg, Esq., of that city, ls the president of j the company, and Colonel L. P. Hiller, also of that city, is ta ? superintendent. THE RICE CROP_The Savannah Advertiser, of the 7th instant, says: "We have been in? formed by a gentleman who has just returned from a visit to many of the largest rice planta, tiona on the Sat il la and Ogeechee rivers, that .the present rice crop ls one of the best and largest in yield that has been made for several .years. The only apprehension is the Septem? ber gales, which may lessen the product by one-eighth or more, should they come with ? any severity. The same accounts have been received by factors in this city from the rice .growlng region of the Savannah River." THE COWHIDING SCRAPE.-The colored man who chastised another colored man in front of Sit? Charleston Hotel, Tuesday afternoon, was .yesterday balled by Trial Justice Levy to ap? pear for trial. Subsequently he was rearrested at the Instance of the assailed party, carried before Trial Justice Bennett, and refusing to <give ball on the ground that he had given it once, was committed to jail. Later he was taken out of jail upon a writ of habeas corpus, and the case heard before Trial Justices Ma? grath and Caulfield, who discharged the pris? oner. The prisoner was represented by ex Alderman T. J. Mackey, and the prosecutor .by J. N. Nathans, Esq. ELECTRICITY ANO CHLOROFORM-DEATH PRE? TESTED.-On the 22d of November, I860, Pr. Danzel administered chloroform for the re? moval of a cancer. After the operation tie patient ceased to breathe, and opening the windows, artificial respiration and all other agencies proved of no avail, when "recourse was had to electricity. One pole ot the bat? tery was applied to the neck, the other to the epigastric. There was soon a movement of the muscles, and by degrees respiration was restored. There ls no doubt that death would have ensued without the application of elec? tricity, and as this remedy has been applied with success in several other cases, it .is worthy ot note on the part ot physicians gene rally. _ Ma. JOHN B. LAFITTE.-The board of dlrec tors of the People's Bank, in accepting the re ei$&ation of the president, Mr. John B. Lafitte, adopted a series of resolutions, expressing their appreciation of his services as well as their best wishes for his success In his new home. Besides this honorable mark of confi? dence and esteem, Mr. Lafitte carries with him to the "Crescent City" the good will and regard of all who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. For more years than we care to name. Mr. Lafitte (of E. Lafitte & Co.) has been engaged In mercantile business in this city, and we venture to say that no Charleston merchant ever enjoyed a higher reputation for commercial and personal, integrity. A man of broad views and well-balanced mind, Hr. Lafitte has always been ready to stand in the front rank when work was to be done for the Industrial advancement of the city or the State. A skilful financier and a thoroughly practical business rana, bis opin? ions upon mercantile matters have always jne] Witt) a 'merited consideration, in every sense of the word, Mr. Lai tte has been a use? rai and valued citizen, and we deeply regret that the extensive business connection which awaited him In New OrleanB should have in? duced him to remove from this city. All that remains now, however, ls to join in the chorus cf good wishes, and to wish Mr. Lafitte Bon Voyage.' and a career of unvarying prosperity. AFFAIRS o CHBIST CHUBCH PARISH.-A correspondent informs us that the cotton crop lath's parish is doing nell, although suffering somewhat from the long and continued drought, which causes the rust to tike it. Judgiug from the present indications, however, there is every reason to believe that, aa a general thing, a vary floe harvest will bj mads. As jae arly aa caa be approximated, there is about the sata?. qnaUtify of land undor cultivation as last yea?; but the planters have displayed more wisdom than heretofore, inasmuch as fhey have divided their crops into long cottoni Short cotton and the cereals, paying more at? tention to the latter than they have been wont to do for fae pa?t few years. ) he accursed cater? pillar, Ire most persistent creditor that the plant or has at thia Beason, which made its appearance on ao many of the plantations some time since, has entirely disappeared, brightening the countenances of the followers cf Cain immeasurab ly. -fount Pleasant, the principal town of this TArish rem'ins pretty much tho same as it was at'tho cloaa of the war; the people being ao much impoverished by losses sustained then and the continued failure of cropa since, aB to be nuable as yet to make any repairs or improver--uta.

The second uuuuai Schutzeuiest "of the Ger? mania Sch?tzen Verein commenced at Abner's. Seventh street park, in Washington, on Mon? day, and closed yesterday. Although not so large an organization as the Washington Sch?tzen Verein, and possessing no suck splendid park, the Germania have de? monstrated that their annual i'csiivals are fully as agreeable ns those ot their older sister. For weeks past the various committees have been making their arrangements for the festi? val, and the result is the great success of Mon? day and the following days. In accordance with the arrangements, the members of the Germania assembled at their headquarters early Monday morning, and the first train from Baltimore, on which were a number of visitinc brethren, was greeted with a salute of six guns. On board of the train was a delegation of the Baltimore Burgher Corps, twjenty ol' tlie Charleston Rifle Corp3, and a delegation from the New York Rifle Club, who, together with a number of ladies, had accepted the invitation to participate with the Washingtonians in their festival. When the visitors had disembarked, the president ot the Germania, Anton Keuchet, delivered a short address ol welcome, assuring t he party of a cordial reception. A procession was formed, (the ladies in carriages,) which marched to Siengerbuud hall, corner of Eighth and E ?ireeta, where a collation was served and heartily enjoyed by all. . An hour or two was passed in social con? verse, and 10 o'clock the grand procession was formed in the following order: Detachment of eight mounted police, headed by Lieuten? ant-Johnson; Donelle's city band; four target bearers, dressed in red shirts and caps and black pants; F. Gehrings, marshal, and A. MulW, George Koch and F. Nussbaum. assis? tant marshals; mounted Sch?tzen; President Keuchel and otficers of the 3. V. G., in car? riages; colors of S. V.

Along the route of the procession many of .he dwellings were decorated with German lags and wreaths ot flowers aud evergreen, vhile at various places were displayed the notto, ? - Wilkommen Sch?tzen." When the procession had arrived at the Park ,he members ot the Germania with their visi? ere assembled at the shooting house, where President Keuchel welcomed the guests to the scene of festivities. "Hauptman" Seipp. of toe Baltimore Burgher Corps, responded, thanking the Germania for the pleasant recep? tion. He then presented the president with a liandsomely-framed colored photograph of the Burgher Corps, which was received and bung ip in the shooting house. Mr. King, ol* the Jharieston Rifle Corps, then presented Pr?v? ient Keuchel with a beautiful silver goblet uid salver, containining a bouquet of fragrant lowers. The gift was suitably acknowledged. L collation was served, and then the prize hooting commenced, continuing without in erruptlon until G o'clock. About 3 o'clock the dancing pavilion was brown open, and was speedily in the full pos esslon ot the lovers of Terpsichore. At Inter als during the afternoon Douches brass band ilscoursed sweet music, to the delight of the brong which kept steadily pouring Into thc ?ark. The "curriculum? wa3 crowded with Ittle ones, the ladies' prize shooting liberally latroolzed, while the "Incline railway" at racted hundreds of the curious. This inven lon is one of the greatest of the age, and tffords much amusement. The ride over it % pleasant ind agreeable, and the patrons of he ln3tltu'.lou seemed not satisfied with one Ide. About G o'clock a procession was formed and scorted Mr. Nixon, the acrobat, to his rer? unning platform, where ills feats were duly pplauded. During the evening a splendid display ol' [reworks was given, and dancing wa? partiei tated in by many until the warning gun. at 12 ?'clock, dispersed the gay throng.

"Slr, you do me honor," says Mr. sadab, pulling up his shirt collar; "and per? haps the day will come when the world will lo me justice." The day has come.

TO THU EDITOR OP THE SEWS. Il ls announced daily through the press in the interior of South Carolina that the Reform movement gains steadily, and already several county conventions have assembled and placed before the people suitable candidates tor the Legislature and other positions. It is known that Charleston County has con? summated its organization, and the question is continually asked, at what time will a con? vention ot this county assemble and make its nominations ? It will be remembered that individual an? nouncements will carry no effect; and that, to command and receive the entire support of the people ot the county, a duly delegated body should be called together, and those selected Irom AMONO TUE PEOPLE who will be able to lead to a successful issue. A little less than five weeks Intervenes, at which time the election will be held; and lt ls respectlully urged that a conveatiou of the whole county should assemble during the pres? ent monta.and enter into the nominations. Let the people know who are to be the nominees of the Reform party, and that, too, at an early period. Will those authorized to act, move in the matter, anti make a call tor the CONVENTION ?

As the statement published by the Bowen Organ does not accord with the facts, I beg that, in the Interest of truth and Justice, you will give place in your columns to the fol? lowing : On the 5th instant a Republican Club meet? ing or Ward (J was called by Us president, H. H. Hunter, and under his call was duly organ? ized. After reading the call of both county chatriuen. Mr. Hunter then vacated his seat, and was immediately elected to preside over lite meeting. When I arose and desired to know under whose call the meeting was organized, I waa Informed by the chairman that ne "had read both calls, and the meeting must decide." I then replied that "if we did not meet under the Hon. R. H. Cain's call, I would toke no part in the meeting, and would leave the hall." I then made the motion, "That this meeting recognize no other call than that of R. H. Cain's." On the motion being seconded, the chairmrAp asked : "Are you ready lor the ques? tion ?" when many voices exclaimed "No; no; not ready; and full one-half ol' the meeting arose and declared they would only meet under Mishaw"s call. Great confusion then ensued, and it was with difficulty or? der was restored, when the chairman again pul my morion. At the same time, Mr. Balantine arose to a point of order,which was, that my motion was out of order. The chair being unable to decide the point, appealed to the meeting, whereupon, my motion not be? in" sustained, I stated I would take no further part ia the meeting; and I then, with a num? ber of others, repaired to Liberty Hall, where wc were afterwards joined by a large number of citizens of Ward No. G, who called me to the chair; and on the meriting being duly organized, we proceeded to elect delegates, with the fol? lowing result : L.

The speeling last night at thc Academy ol Music was ono of the largest gatheringB ol Germans we have ever seen in Charleston; Every shade and variety of the German ele? ment was represented. Swedes, Danes, Swiss, Poles, and even Alsatians, Joined in paying tributo to thc great cause. The large hall and galleries w-:re filled with a vast throng of the enthusiastic sons of Vaterland. There were . also pr?sent ninny native Americans, doubt? less glad of this opportunity to pay homage to German valor and German worth. The ha!! and the building were profusely decorated with a prolusion of German flags both the battle dag and the "Schwarz-roth goldene." (black, red and gold-the German national colors.) Meta's brass band was present, kindly con? tributing their quota in playing the enlivening airs of the patriotic and war song9 of Ger I many. Over '.he dais, on the west side of the hall,' in bold German text, stood the following dis? tich : . hieb Vaterland, kannst ruhig sein. Fest steht uni! tren, die Wac ht am Rhein." [The refrain ol the new war song-"The Watch on the Rhine."] On the speaker's stand were seated the presidents of the several German societies ot this city : Messrs. Jacob Small., of the Freund schaft8bund: D. Werner, of the Br?derliche Bund; Alexander Melchers, ot the Schutzen GeseUschaft; J. H. Albers, of thc German Fire Company: H. Harms, of the German Artillery Charitable Association; C. 0. Witte, Esq., Con? sul of the North German Conlederation; Rev. L. Muller, Professor A. Sachlieben, and others. A few minutes after 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by J. Small, Esq., who nominated C. 0. Witte, Esq., for chairman. Mr. Witte, on taking the chair, modestly staled that the selection of himself os chairman was doubtless due to his official position, rather than to any personal merit of his own. He stated the object of the meeting-to do something toward alleviating the distress of the wounded and other sufferers from the war. He stated that not less than 150,000 Germana had probably been wounded in the battles of the past two months; that however perfect the arrangements for taking care of these wounded that may have been made by the government, the number ls so unprecedentedly large, that the means at hand must needs fall far short of the exigencies of the case. To remedy this evil, patriotic aid societies have been formed all over Germany, with a parent society at Berlin. Similar societies have also been formed in the United States, "and it ls the purpose of this meeting to form such an association in Charleston that Bh'all show our countrymen beyond the Atlan? tic tha t we also have German hearts In our bosoms that beat in unison with the great throb that now shakes the Vaterland, from the Vistula to the Rhine. We feel for the wound? ed, distressed and Suffering at home, and an opportunity will now be afforded us to testify our sympathy by deeds." [Applause.] Theodore Melchers, Esq., moved that the presidents of the several German societies of Charleston be vice-presidents. B. Bollmann, Esq., treasurer, and F. Melchers, Esq., secre? tary of this Aid Society. Adopted. A patriotic song was then giren by a quar? tette. Professor Sachtleben was next introduced by Captain Small. He said : The popular legend tells us that the old Em? peror Barbarossa bas for nearly seven hun? dred years been sleeping in the Kyfftuenser mountain, and dreaming of the regeneration of the dear fatherland. In this year of grace. 1870, tbe nation's enthusiastic cry has awaken? ed him: he raises bis hoary h?ad from the marble table on which lt has been resting so long; with eyes still heavy with the sleep ol' centuries, he looks around; the old crown of the holy Roman empire lies broken, and faintly glimmering at his feet, but a new Im? perial crown-that of the coming thrice holy German empire-appears bet?re him In youth? ful splendor, and the great Hohenstaufen re? cognizes with patriotic Joy In the knightly Hohenzollern, the worthy Inheritor ot his power. Yes, gentlemen, the great day for which our ancestors have looked with pious longing; for which our brave fathers have shed their blood with Joyous trust; for which the valiant German people have made so many heavy sacrifices-the great day ol a strong, united, and independent Germany, has at last dawned. The glorious sun of German unity rises Incarnadine from the misty cloud which has hitherto obscured lt-all the more resplendent, all the richer in promise will that sun now shine, glorifying with its noontide radiance the smiling face of the new? born Fatherland. Thanks to the ne? phew of his uncle who, In order lo preserve a tottering throne to his in? fant son. selfishly sacrificed innume? rable lives ! Thanks to the French greed for the lett bank of the Rhine, which gr?>ed was threatening a peaceful neighbor wi.li In? vasion and conquest ! Thanks to the foresight and heroic determination of King William of Prussia ! Thanks to the myriads of brave men who rallied promptl), lrom the uttermost ends ot Germany, under Prussia's victorious flag t Thanks to these, the limes of a Germany, disu? nited and weak within and dependent without, have passed away. Henceforth, in the fullest sense ol'the word, there ls one nation from the marshes of the Baltic to the foot ot the Alps, and from the forests of Bobemla to the golden waters of thc Rhine. Germany now assumes the proud position which is hers of right among the nations ot the earth- the protago? nist of modern civilization. The Latia na Hons, the representatives of tho middle ages | and the teachers and custodians ol' their civili? zation, must bc content ' to take the second rank in power and Influence, and the Germanic race leads the van in the new era of cultivated and enlightened freedom. Or is this all a dream ? Could it be possible that the streams of blood poured out by our brothers beyond the sea tbr the security of their nomes,for the unity and Independence of thc common Fatherland, shoul'* again have been shed in vaia? Shall not a netter und truly great future for Germany spring from, the seed of blood sown now upon the enemy's soil by t he sons of the heroes ot 1813-and 1815 ? Shall the conquered and humiliated arch? enemy of our Fatherland, who for centuries, by a malicious policy, has impeded every free and vigorous development of the German peo? ple; who, with selfish greed, has grasped one German province after another-shall he have the consolation of feeling that there is still a divided German v. and still the same old field for intrigue and of insolent meddling ! God forbid lt ! No ! The grand and terrible combat which begin only a lew weeks ago, and already seems to approach an end so glorious for Germany, must, lt it is to bear any lasting fruit at all. unite all German lands, without exception and forever, under one government. Henceforth, German fellow-citizens, when we are asked about our place of birth, we need not again answer with shame as we think of the dis? membered condition of Fatherland. Hence? forth, even so highly cultivated and wise a statesman as President Grant will have no excuse for confounding Frederick the Great, of Prussia, with Frederick the Little, of Ans? pach or with Frederick the Worthless, of Hesse; and imagine that "Old Fritz" sold his heroes of Leuthen. of Prague and ot Rossbacb, to the English for the subjugation of Ameri? cans. Soon lhere will be no longer a North German Confederation or South German Union, but all ot us, whether Swabla or Bavaria, saxony or Prussia, be our home, can point with lust pride to one united Germany, with one Parliament, and the Imperial crown shall be worn by Hohenzollern. Let us, then, hail with enthusiastic joy our brave brothers, who, on French soil, are pre narin" this great future. Let us endeavor to .nve proper expression to the admiration with which their courage and endurance must fill ? Rut"mi friends, another and a higher duty claims our attention this evening. Many thou? sands o: our brave countrymen have sealed their unselfish devotion with their heart's blood The horrid, the insatiable war will, doubtless, demand the sacrifice of many more prectous lives, before the cheerful star of Peace ?hall again rise on the horizon-for the enemy also, is brave and proud, and, remem? bering the military glories of other days, will certainly require repeated defeats, before he will agree to such conditions of peace as are doraanded foe the future peace and security ot Germany and Europe. Happy are they who died for their country upon the battle field In the hour of victory; thrice happy when com? pared with the hosts who ai e severely wound? ed and mutilated, unable to help themselves for the rest of their lives, or with those who ore thrown upon a bed of languishing owing to the unusual hardships ot' the campaign. Fate has separated us from Fatherland and the field of battle-. We can neither take up arms for the holy cause, nor can we, In person, engage In alleviating the sufferings ol the sick and wounded. Let us, then, do that which alone lies in our power. Let us, to the best of our ability, with open hand and with alacrity, contribute, that the necessary means shall not be wanting, for their labor of love, to those who. upon thc spot, are engaged In the pious task ol nursing the sick and wounded. Others who, more than I, possess the gift of turning the heart to benevolence, will enjoin upon you, in more ardent terms, this sacred obligation; and I will close by saying that only then shall we prove ourselves worthy of the name of Germans; only then will the German Fatherland be dearer to us than all the world besides-when we show by our deeds that we have not forgotten tho German virtues of char? ity and liberality. . . The remarks of Professor Sachtleben were frequently interrupted by enthusiastic ap? plause. The following preamble and resolutions, of? fered by F. Ifelchcre, Esq., and seconded by Captain Alexander Helchers, were unani? mously adopted : The mighty* struggle in Europe, which the Emperor of the French, with frivolous hands, brought about to prevent the unity of Germany, draws upon itself the attention of the lnhabl-1 tauts of the whole civilized world. The Ger? mans of Charleston also look with the greatest interest on the bloody clashing of arms, and admonish their German brethren : Persevere till the Frenchmen are beaten, and then go home rejoicing, and receive the. reward of | your valor. But how many wounds are In? flicted before this great work ls accomplished ! Already thousands of the best sons of Germany are burled In the soil ol Prance-they died for their Fatherland the noble death of a soldier. And home In Germany, mothers aad wives, children and men, gray with age, are mourn? ing over their dear departed, and suffer be? cause their supporters are gone-they died on the field of honor. How much suffering a war brings about, we all have experienced but lately-specially in Charleston where, for years, the enemy's shells destroyed the. peaceful habitations of the peo? ple. We have suffered as almost no other city; otu* property was destroyed, and we were made nearly all beggars; therefore we sympathize so much more with our German brethren, as we know what it means when the dogs of war are let looBe. For the purpose of assisting as muchas is in our power our wounded countrymen, and the widows and orphans of those who fell In battle, be lt resolved*. 1. That we form a patriotic aid society. 2.

Whole settlements are sometimes prostrated by ; he disease, and lt ls regarded in some localities as onr of those visitations of Providence which cannot be avoided. This ls a mistake. As cer? tainly as any of the evils which are Invited by neglect may bc forestalled by precaution, so cer? tainly may an attack of Intermittent (or remit? tent) fever be prevented by invigorating the sys? tem with llostetter's.Stomach Bitters lu advance of the season at which this malady prevails. Pre? vention, lt ls needless to say, ls the wisest policy; but lt is consoling to know that where time has not been thus taken by the forelock, and the par? oxysms have actually commenced, a complete cure may, la all oases, be rapidly effected by the use ot this powerful vegetable tonic. The repu? tation of :he Bitters as a specific for dyspepsia, fiver complain;, constipation and nervosa debili? ty, has in soma measure turown into the shade its merits as a preventive and cure or other ail? ments, but eil who have ever taken lt, either as a protection against or remedy tor ma'arloua fe? vers, will admit that lt surpasses In eitclency all the so-called specifics (Including quinine) usually prescribed: for these maladies, while lt ls at the same time entirely harmless and decidedly pala? table. sep3-6D*c YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY HAVING TOUR PRINTING EXECUTED AT THE NEWS JOB OFFICE 49-ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED.-? pf AWAY WITH SPECTACLES.-OLD Eyes made new, easily, without doctor or medi? cines.
