BECOVERED FROM THIEVES.-On Saturday morning, Mr. McGee, wharfinger on Accommoda tion wharf, missed a bale of upland cotton from a ?ot, and, being unable to account for Its dlsap pearance, reported the loss at the Detective's office.

The company ls pushing Its work with renewed -rigor, and will soon open its wires to the public Bs?ri Loss BY FIRE. -The large fire observ? able on James Island last Friday evening,..un? noticed in our issue of the next day, was occa? sioned, we learn, by the burning of a large cotton gin establishment, beloaging to Messrs. Hutchin? son A Freer. The building was a capacious ouc of two stories, for cleaning, motlng and ginning out, cotton, and measured on the first floor at 'east forty "bj thhty feet. It was situated on the plantation of the Rev. Mr. Philip Douglas, on the James Island Creek which intersects thc lslaud. Mr. Hutchinson bad bought some cotton that eve? ning, and was having it carried into the mill when a light fell from the hand of one of the party upon the large pile of cotton. The flame flashed across the Inflammable mass like light? ning, and in a rew moments the building, which was built of plue, was on are lu every part. Tnere was a bale or sea island cotton, several of upland and a great deal of yellow cotton lying around ou the floor of the building, all of which, notwith? standing the repeated attempts of those near to save them, were destroyed with but a small ex? ception. The Immense blaze from the pine boards and powerful heat soon drove off the impromptu firemen with their buckets, and they were com? pelled to witness the destruction without being able to stay its progress. Besides the building and cotton, three Mccarthy gins and one saw gm, on the first floor, were entirely destroyed. The engine, being in the same building, was also more or less injured by the heat. Most of the cotton be? longed to Ur. Hutchinson, or the firm of Hutchin? son jrjf reer. Fortunately, there was bat little on hand to be ginned on toll MO* For tater locals, see First Page. THE HOLIDAY TRADE. WHERE TO BUT CHRISTMAS GIFTS. TCe continue our hints to the purchasers of holiday goods, showing what they ought to buy, and where they can buy what they want. The dealers who have already advertised report a rich harvest as the result, and lt is astonishing that others are so Blow tn following their exam? ple. Less than a weet remains before Christmas, and only those who make themselves known to thc public through thc newspaper columns should expect to reap any extra benefit from the busy season. Strangers continue to multiply, money ls Increasing, purchasers arc abroad on t he streets more numerously, and advertising ls the order of the day. Clothing arni Furnishing Goods. One of the old and established institutions of Charleston 13 thc clothing house of Wm. Mat I thlessen, corner of King and Wentworth streets. All kinds of clothing, from the finest French broadcloth to the coarsest kersey, can be found, : and cut after a pattern which would not fall to please Adonis hlmseir. Tenths' suits, old gen? tlemen's suits, business men's apparel, wedding outfits, and r- ally every article of clothing and gentlemen's furnishing goods which mind could suggest, are here exposed for sale at prices which cause one to inquire how he eau meet the expen? ses attached to his business an i sell so low. Thirty years ago, Mr. Matt hies? ?n introduced the now famous star shirts and coUars into this mar? ket, and while steadily adhering to whatever ex? perience has shown to be good, his establishment will be found to be at all times fully stocked with the latest and most approved novelties in the world of fashion. The recent Fair of the South Carolina Institute awarded the diploma to this house for manufacturing and exhibiting the best suit of cloi hiug. The prize suit may now be seen in the window of thc s'ore. There could be no more welcome and seasonable gift than a suit obtained at Matthiessen's. Jewelry, Fine China and Fancy Goods. WHILDEX ! Who does not recognize In tho name a synonym for aU that ls tasteful lu art-not merely a jewel of a merchant, bat a merchant who sets the jewels ? And never In greater glory does Whlldeu appear than during the holidays. It ls then that diamonds, with their fairy eyes, peep most fondly at you from his showcases; watches tick kindly the passing hours; studs and sleeve'mttous suggest relief to wifeless men; chlnL comes into the map of our busy life, and Parian marbles upset the best regulated Inten? tions not to yield to the pleasures or giving a Christmas token to your sweetheart. In truth, the corner of King and Bsaufain streets ls a rjuioslty shop where one grows mellow In think? ing jolly thoughts of Santa Claus. The Children's Store. Marlon's, in Kin : street, ls d shrine at which :he children of Charleston have bowed for more :han a generation-a shrine, alas ! that is soon to >e closed by Its present presiding divinity. But Marion means to leave behind him tender memo -les-a trail of Christmas goods, heaps of roys, ?yramlds of plum cake, and mountains of confec ionery-the purchase or which, at reduced price?, viii make us all regret next Christmas that darlon ls no more. We know what we write when ve say that lt is the time for great bargains, and he opportunity ls not to be missed by those who ?xpect to make their troops of household angels ?appy. _. Fancy Dry Goods. When a lady wishes to indulge In a little private rapture, she always visits Read's, plan:s herself >n one of his vibratory stools, calls for a clerk ind orders down stock. In five minnies she goes wild over gloves, ribbons, laces, mantillas, vel? vets, embroideries and Grecian scarfs. Dress roods- make her envy millionaires, draw on the profoundest depths of her husband's purse, and, ike Oliver Twist with his empty soup-dish, pray or "more." Its a tempting place Greven a mau, md we seriously advise every married gentleman, vho proposes to stay out late for the next twenty lays, to provide against a caudle lecture by toing to Read's and purchasing the proper anti ihloglstfc. Holiday Books. Books at Christmas always wear such a pleas nt physiognomy that lt ls a pleasure both to Ive and receive thm. To persona of a reUnea ?ste there ls no picseat more acceptable. Rus ell, our well-know >i bibliopole, appreciating this ?ct, ha? supplied himself with a selection or holl lay books lor all ages and conditions, and it will ie the rault of lils customers If they cannot find omethlng to suit every taste, "from grave to jay; from lively to severe." His stock Is unusual y large and attractive, and even though one may tot design to purchase, an hour can be prodtably pent in the enjoyment of thc beautiful attire In rhich human thought comes to us draped for thc loiidays. Excellent Pictures. In these holiday hours wc must not omit to call .Mention to the artistic pictures taken by Mr. F. L Houston, at his gallery, No. 399 King street. >osses3lng peculiar facilities for his business In he shape of superior light and shadow, which he ommauds at will, and withal aided by a coadju or, Mr. Frank A. Nowell, who bas remarkable ?ste in malting thc sunshine catch thc most at ractlve expression of human nature, the work urned out of the establishment competes with, hat of the best artists or the country. His ferro? type-four for one dollar-are taken and finished a ten minutes, and his photographs are models ol eteUtjr. Headquarters of Santa Claus. Von Sauten knows what the local stockings of bis town will contain next Saturday night as roil as any mau m it-yes, as well as Old Nick Jmseir. He seems to have a special gift for di? ming what each particular boy or girl most ougs for, and accordingly has filled that long lore on Klug street with-an array of toys, jilque, attractive and amusing, that will make our heart glad. For those of maturer years, he as a handsome assortment of holiday goods, ome of which are tit to give a queen. The rowds already purchasing from lils establish? ment, on suuny afternoons, arc In themselves a urious study. Watches and Jewelry. We call attention to the large and handsome Cock of watches and j e welry offered by Messrs. 7. Carrington A Co., No. '250 King street. Those rho are In want of very choice presents, such as rould grace a woman's, ear, neck, wrists or ngers, wiU find a most tormenting assortment. Musical Instruments. Those who are fond of "the melodies of many inda"-who believe that some souls feed on mu? le, as well as love; who look on flutes as angelic istltutiotis and guitars as Instruments on which lie heart finds expression through thc finger ends, fill be pleased to learn that Mr. Dauer, the well nowa music dealer, at No. 399 King street, has a upply of these and more, which during the boll lays 3re to be sold at cost prices. Pipes that arc Pipes. The meerschaum pipes advertised by Lorentz. omer King and Wentworth streets, are "gems f purest ray serene"-that is, when serenely eon by a critical smoklst through a fragrant loud of Durham. A wife or a sweetheart who loes not object to that happiness which enos in moke, cannot more surely confer lt than by ausing the toe of a Christmas stocking tu pro rude with the cherished article. ll 5I CoMr AT LAST.-The "feathers of the air" aade tLeir appearance, on Saturday, in Orange mrg and Columbia. Here, we were only treated o sleet, wtilch, for five or ten minutes, came [own as viciously as pointed lances. Snow with is ts a rarity at best, and we have no envy to be tow on our neighbors, because the fairies or the louds deigned te omit Charleston In their dis? ruption of aerial gdts. CLOBS AND STAUS.-The Mayor's docket on laturday morning was remarkably meagre, and he few cases were quickly disposed of. One -oung man was pardoned for being intoxicated he first time in public, and another forfeited his leposlt or $10, which he had given Tor his appear ince berore the Mayor. The most remarkable hing about the latter ease was that the young nan, while under the Influence of "rye," the light before, had given an assumed name, and vhen he appeared In court next morning, under Us own name, no attention was paid to his de HDrrj Q&oo?B-' Ut.
