, C1T? AFFAIRS. , The Market.--On Saturday night our mar *ket is always a piece of lively interest. To-night it will be donbiy attractive, and worthy of a visit. The gathering of poultry is indescribable. Through Tickets to Macon, by way of the Macon and Augusta Railroad, are now for sale in this City. Tho night trains or the South Carolina Railroad make close connection for the above route In Augusta. Books.?Christmas books of all sizes, shapes and subject matter, i blazing rcsplendently In our King street windows. Many of them are very beautiful. Children's story books, arrays 1 in all the colors of the rainbow, are this year unusually handsome. Accident.?While crossing King street about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, two Sisters or Mer cy were knocked down by a horse attached to a dray, and one of them slightly injured. The dray was driven by Henry Creggs, and the collision was entirely accidental. Thb Man Without a Bundle.?It was a noticeable fact yesterday, and will probably be more so to-day, that scarcely an Individual on King street, male or female, was without a bun dle. Porters and errand boys have nearly run their legs on* in delivering brown paper parcels, and the cry is, "still they come." The Weather.?People needed no ther mometer yesterday to notify them of the sudden change of temperature. Bme noses and watery eyes told the truth quite as plainly as the mercury. Overcoats were a comfort, and cold fingers felt for mercy m the lowest recesses o? well-lined pockets. The Ice lay thickly In spots, and mushy places grew hard with fro3t. It was decidedly the near; jt;st approach to zero on the part of the thermome ter that has been recorded this year. The Adger Link.?These long tried, reli able and superior vessels keep up their regular trips, and make their accustomed good time. At an early hour yesterday the steamship James Ad ger reached her wharf in this city In the excellent run of fifty-three hoars from New York, bringing a good freight list, among which there are numer ous articles for the city trade just suited to the present holiday season. Her commander, Captain T. J. Lockwood, Is adding steadily to his popular ity among passengers and shippers by the skill and care which he exercises in every department of his responsible charge. The Manhattan, Capt. M. S. Woodhull, or the same Hue, departs to-day for New York. Ixcendiart Hires.?About 1 o'clock, on Friday morning last, the gin-house, saw mill and shuck-house or Dr. R. T. Allison, on Clark's Fork, in York.County. were destroyed by Are. The gin house and saw mill were contiguous, and the shuck-house about one-fourth of a mile distant. All the buildings were discovered to be on lire about the same time. With the gin-house, about eight thousand ponnds of seed cotton was de stroyed. About the same time, in the same neighbor hood, a meat house, belonging to Mr. Lawson Brown, and a straw-pen, with the contents, on the premises or Mr. Hugh Love, were also burned. But little doubt exists that aU three of these fires are the work of inceadlariea. United States Commissioner.?Henry Har dy was brought before Commisslener Porteons, .yest?rday morning, charged with voting unlaw Tfu ly, by reason of his not being a citizen of South Carolina, at llardeeville during the late elections The evidence showed that he had been runnier on a Savannah River steamer for the past year, but that his family live! in this Sute, which he always considered his home. Having never voted in Georgia, Henry was discharged. Henry Campbell was brought up and examined on a charge of voting when under age at Levy's Cross Roads, Beaufort County, during the recent election. He was proved to be under nineteen years or a?e, and forthwith committed to jal>, In default of ball, to await his trial at the Janu ary term of the District Court. Robert Greeu was examined on a charge of voting twice at the same time aud place as the above. The offence was clearly proved, and the repeater, who seems to have acted through igno rance, was cem ultted to jail to await his trial at the next term or court. Stephen Ralphs was examined on a charge or Intimidating v. ters at the sum - time and place. There was no ev idence to sustain the charge, and Stephen was Lberatcd. Christmas Advice.?If there ever was occa sion lor us to "eat, drink and be merry," it Is on the advent of Christmas, the happiest day of all the three hundre I and sixty-five, ror every living biped except geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens, and kindred poultry. The rattestor these will receive unmeasured honor, but probably experience a very small amount of happiness in return, for they are tobe sacrificed as roasted offerings upon the altar of conviviality. Under the circum stances, a few words of advice may prove profita ble. First then, look after the children. See to it that Santa Clnus comes down every chimney In the city. If you have a poor neighbor with a family of little ones, drop some Christmas sun Bhlne there. Give the household angels a free Tun at mince pic3 and sweetmeats. Fill the was sail b .wi to the brim, and make it invite merri ment to the sad lest domicile. Second. Endeavor to feel as if your manifold sins were forgiven, and. imagine everybody else to be in the same blissful state of mind. Third. Those who are too poor to afford roast turkey and champa-mo, must put on their best payslognotnlcal bib and tucker, and fancy them selves joyou3 over fried flili and lager beer. Fourth. Stove-pipes, generally speaking, being of too small calibre to admit the personal corpo roslty or St. Nick, ail owners or such should leave their doors ajar, and hang the children's stock ings on the bed-post. Fifth. All debating, discussing, or any other kind of cu3slng. especially on the subject of poll tics, are perempt-Ti.y forbidden. Ytsl?tig friends must be Btutled, saturated and sent home as glos sy as a patent-leather hat. Finally. Rejoice in "glad tldings;> generally, and glory in the establishment of 'peace on earth and good will to man," and be sure that you have a Bprlnkle or love for woman. P. S.?After participating m the enjoyments of the day, strive to return home, (if you have been supping out) and not count more stars on tho way than actually hold a place in the Arma ment.

The matter was reported to the Mayor, who deferred the hearing of the case until next Tuesday. Knights Templar.?At the annual meeting: of South Carolina Encampment, No. l, Knights Templar, the following Sir Knights were elected for the next Masonic year: Robert S. Bruns, E. Cj Z. B.

My er, sentinel. Grx-Hor/se BorUt on Wadmalaw Island.? On Thursday morning the gin-bouse or Messrs. J. & W. C. Oeraty, on Wadmalaw Island, took Are, and before assistance could be had the building was entirely destroyed. Seven or eight baies of sea Island cotton and all the gins and machinery which the building contained were likewise de stroyed. The loss Is a heavy one, and not more than half covered by the Insurance. No cause can be assigned for the are, and it is believed to have been purely accidental. A Pleasant Incident.?After the-adjourn ment or the meeting of the Washington Steam Fire Company, on last Thnrsday evening, Presi dent James M. Carson became the surprised re clplent of a very handsome Christmas present, In the shape or a beautiful silver waiter and a pair or goblets, suitably inscribed, and presented to him by the members of that gallant corps as ao evi dence of the high esteem in which they hold their very efficient president. The waiter and goblets were purchased at the well-known Jewelry estab lishment of Mr. A H. Hayfcen, at which place they can be seen for a few days. The Skating Rink.?The lovers of this de lightful amusement are enjoying the propitious weather prevailing at present, and while out of doors the wind blows keen and faces get pinched with, cold, the rink Is kaleldeiscoplc with its revolving pictures of rosy cheeks and graceful forms. To-day the assemblage promises to be larger than usual, and all who like No. s's and can skate In nothing else, had better go early and se cure their choice. The energetic proprietor, who in the early part of the winter kept the rink open at great expense, Is now fully alive to his Increas ing patronage, and Is always present with several skilled assistants to assist those-, who .require in struction. ^ A Watch Recovered.?James Lesesne was arrested yesterday by Special Oillccr Johnson, charged with stealing a watch from Rachel John son. He found the watch in breaking down au old house In Elliott street, in whica Rachel had lost It while an occupant. The watch had been sold once already by him, but the purchaser, suspect ing vlilany, returned It. Lcseene was now en deavoring to pawn the watch, and, by a lucky ac cident, went to Rachel.to raise money on It. She claimed it as soan as she got it In possession, but Lesesne took It away t>y force, and was subse quently arrested. The case was referred to Trial Justice Schroder, who released the prisoner on bail until next Wednesday, when the trial will -cue off. Christmas Gifts. ? Choosing Christ re a9 presents is a pnzzllng and a vexations thing. The presents must be made or the skies will rail, but between bun-boas and blrd-cagoa there Is a wide Held for liking and disliking, and it Is pecu liarly pleasant, therefore, to be able to take refnga In Russell's book-store, and there find an artistic panacea for every ill to which the Christmas sonl Is heir. Mr. Russell's selection of Christmas books is unusually large. Prominent among the gift books of the season arc "Fairy Tales," illus trated by Gustave Dore; the "Flowers of the Alps,'' with chromo Illustrations; the "Light or the World," an Illustrated collection of religious p- eras; and, above all, the delicious "Book of Nonsense," which is Indescribably funny ?0 chil dren of larger as well as smaller growth. There are a thousand other books upon all subjects, In all styles and at all prices, which makes Russell's, as usual, a haven of rest for the anxious present seekers. Clubs and Stars.?Tcrancc McCann, ar rested for being drunk and disorderly In Market street, was sentenced to pay a fine of $5, or go to the Rouse of Correction for live days. Patrick Carrot, supposed to be lnsaue, was re ferred to the city registrar. R. Grant, for being drunk and resisting the po lice In a bar-room In Market street, on Thursday ulght, was Reuten cod to pay a tine of $5, or ppend ten days in the House of Correction. Daniel Oox aud John Oleraau, arrested for dis orderly conduct and fighting in Columbus street, asd also for vagrancy, were seit to Jail for a term of thirty days each under the vagrant law. Toby Btown, who left Jail last Tuesday, having Just finished serving out a term of thirty days, was arrested by the police on Thursday, while in the act of abstracting tho contents of the money box in a baker's cart. He was brought before the Mayor yesterday morning, aud during bis trial expressed his indifference as to whether he would be sent to jail or not. Not having suc ceeded In bis attempted larceny he was sent to the House of Correction for thirty days U9 a vagrant. Francis Jenkrns, who had been committed to jail by Ttlal Justice Magrath, on a charge of breach of trust and grand larceuy, was yesterday brought before two other trial justices by a wi lt of habeas corpus. In consideration of the ad mitted felony of the prosecutor, Bryant, the bond was fixed at $100, which Jenkins at once gave and was liberated. Christmas at the Academy.?It seemed that there was only one sombre place In Charles ton yester night. The streets were filled with joy ous throngs, and, lu the words of the old ballad, The wor d's retainers were bljthe and gay Keeping the Christmas holiday. Bat the iron gate3 or the Academy were obsti nately closed. Only dust danced In the seats wnere.ja year ago, sate the beauty and rasblon of the State. The distant Alps In the "drop" looked dismally bleak. Flats and Interiors mourned their disuse, aud would not be comforted. Ghosts or Warner and Eldrldgr, of abounding Oatcsand the "violets ol the stage," of dismal Gallons, aud the Alexander who Is conquering new worlds lu Massachusetts, flitted across the stage aud played a Curistmas paatomlme In which all managers should be lavish, every treasury full, and all art ists free from the green-eyed feeling which tempts a Chanfrau to tweak the tragic nose of a Fechter. This may be; bnt to the public the Academy ol Music was, familiarly speaking, grand, gloomy and peculiar. The proprietor of the Academy of Music, Mr, Jno. Chadwick, Is one of tho few Northern men who are accepted a3 thorough Southerners. Gen erous, far sighted and public-spirited, he expend ed a small fortune in building up the choices! tempi which the drama finds between the Poto mac and the Gulf. For all this, and more, Charles ton holds hlra In grateful and affectionate remem brauce. The Academy of Music during the sensor of 18?0-T0 was all that Mr. Chadwick promised And it must have caused him a profound chagrlr that blunders and short-comings, with which ht had nothing to do, should have wearied the pub lie aud closed the Academy doors at the moinen when all classes arc ripe for lyrical and dramatii amusement. Ky-gouos must be by.gones ! What is wante? now Is the rc-orculug or the Academy. A yea ago the Academy prospered exceedingly. A con stant succession or novelties sharpened the appr tlte, aud kept the benches full. Why cannot w go back to 1869t Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Jno. T F'ord wore then, respectively, proprietor and lesse or the Academy. Tney were Bucccs-fuL and th public was satisfied. It is a necessity, buth sochi and commercial, that the Academy be opened and kept open, and we should like to see trie again the combination which wa? so lacky las season. There Is lire In Charles;03. Let us try t bring It out. TM?j v HAUL Meeting of CouNciL.~In8te*d of the special meeting of Conncll advertised to take place last evening, a caucus meeting was held for the pri vate discofjslon of the sections or the bill to regu late ;inceses for 1871, which will come up at the next regular meeting. Change op Hock.?The steamship Evermnn, from Phfadclphla, Captain Hinckley, arrived yes terday, and reportB having experienced very severe weather tho entire voyage from the capes, but sustained no damage to vessel or cargo. The Evermnn will salt at 3 o'clock to-day, as shippers will notice by advertisement of agent. Crumbs.?Mr. J. H. ?telnmeyer was elected chairman of ti:e commissioners of the market, at their meeting heid on Wednesday last. Rev. Mr. Yates, the sailors' friend ami chaplain, has been the recipient of a handsome pi osent from the ship captains now In port, a present, too, tendered In a manner as tasteful on the part of the donors as It was deserved by Mr. Yates. Buiint to Death.?Thursday afternoon, Han nah Nelson, a young colored child about four years of age, was left at home alone, In a house on Gadsden's Green, by her mother, who went a short distance to bring water. On the latter's re turn she found the child lying on the floor lifeless, her clothing all burnt from her body. AJaryof Inquest was empanelled by the coroner, wi:o, after Investigating the matter, returned a verdict ascribing the cause of her death to an accident. A Pleasant Occasion.?The residence of Rev. Dr. Vcdder, pastor of the Huguenot Church, was last evening the scene of one of those charm ing entertainments which are cal cd forth by the season. The children of the Sunday school, and the young ladles' of tha Confederate Widows' Home, were present, attended by parents, friends and teachers, and each was made the happy re cipient or a gift from the fairies of a Christmas tree. Santa Clans likewise appeared in propria persona, and to the Intense delight or the Uttio ones?God bless 'cm?distributed from a gigantic stocking, mysterious packages that made thefr young eyes sparkle. A Christmas Trkk.? The Bruderllcherbuud Hail, on King street, was last night filled with a large and select audience composed of thepareuts and ?rlends or the pupils of Mr. C. H. Bcrgmann's I German and English school, who assembled to participate In the annual Christmas exercises of ?ie Institution. These consisted of dialogues in English and Ocrman, spoken with excellent taste and Interspersed with the best of German music. Among the pieces sung were a Christmas song, "The Watch on the Rhine,'1 the German national hymn and others. Tills portion of the entertain ment was closed with the recitation of a Christ mas ode, after which Miss Ellec Jungbluth, one of the pupils, presented In behalf of the school a oes iltful Bible to Mr. Bergmann, their teacher. The Christmas tree was then lighted up, and In true German style all present participated in tho festivities Incident to the occasion. Christmas Eve I?Tf a man should attempt to trace back all the customs Incident to this liai, lowed period of the year, he would probably come to anchor somewhere among the Druids or our thcr pagau ancestors. We have no desire to ln trnde on those distinguished gentlemen, espe cially as they have been written up and advertised to the Christian people or ttic United States until nothing new can be said of them. It is undoubt edly true, however, that we arc Indebted to Hio peculiar rites and observances of these ancient ladivldaals?half heathenish, half Christian?for many of the pleasures which have been refined tat? enjoyable shape. The mistletoe among the Brulds, for Instance, was regarded with the ut most venen ilon. While the burning of the yule log. still an English cnslbm at Christmas, Is trans mit:ed to us from our Scandinavian sirc?. This small Illumination Is accompanied with all sorts or jollity, master and servant mectlug on terras ot equality for the time being, and the company refreshing themselves with hot compounds of elder, egg or spiced ale. The ChrlstmaB tree Is a German institution, an cient and honorable, and Is supposed to be a rem uant of the fanciful pageants of the middle a;ci. It Is only within twenty years that the Christ mas tree was Introduced Into England; but It tins become thoroughly blended and Identified with the poetical associations of the day. Hanging up the stocking Is likewise an ancient German cuntoui, but In old times naughty chil dren received birch rods instead of sweetmeats. Nowadays it Is supposed that old Kris Kringle makes allowance for Infantile Iniquity, and he must be a very wicked boy indeed who does not have occasion lo pleosurably remember his Christ mas girts. business notices. Mrs. Keogii, the skilful chiropodist, Is daily working wonderful cures among those who are suffering from corns, bunions and other disorders of the feet. She has also treated cases of asthma und the fits with slncular success, ner rooms are In King street, opposite Society, over McMil lan's shoe store.
