The matter was reported to the detectives, who, yesterday morning, ar? rested Robert and locked him np at their office, ander the City Hall.

The coat has not been recovered yet, and meanwhile the prisoner ls held for examination. Row IN ELLIOTT STREET.-Yesterday morn? ing, about ll o'clock, a party of sailors, laborers and a boarding-house ronner had a lively time in Elliott street, wUh the brickbats that are. so con? venient in that locality.

The missile strnck oue of another party, who, without walting for explanations, returned the compliment, and in a few moments both ff* rt les were hotly engaged. The irruption of j two officers put an end to the fight, and throe of the wounded and the runner were captured. They were all bruised and bloody, and one in particu? lar was lying senseless on the field of battle. At the Guardhouse, where they were taken, they gave their surname&'as Peter Matthews, John Crawford, Charles Woods and Wm. Kean, (the neuer,) and were du y incarcerated.

The annual meeting of this society was held last evening, at the hall of the Bruderlichcbuud, when the following annual report was read: PRESIDENT'S REPORT. _^ Gentlemen-Whilst our society as yet has been circumscribed in ber operations, it may be seen from tne special reports that we have nor been without good, and that we have had the oppor? tunity of becoming for many of our poorer coun? trymen a real blessing. The German societies or the larger American c.ties have a more extensive field and far superior resources. Our New York sister spends her charities upon thousands, and our oldest prototype in Philadelphia not only pos? sesses a fund for the. .tance of poor immi? grants, but she als? provides for the education of their youth, and affords not only her own mem? bers, but all indigent German meehanlcs and la? borers the facility of improving their mind and relining their taste by means oran extensive and valuable library aud periodical technical and his? torical lectures, towards which objects her nume? rous prominent and highly educated members render a willing assistance. In Charleston we have only recently begun the noble work, and it has been impossible to accomplish much in this brier period. But what we have done is praise? worthy, and with the blessings ot Providence we will, in a few years, be enabled to more creditably follow the example or our German sister societies or other parts or the world. If the German character, deservedly, ls praised PO highly, and the German name enjoys In every sphere. In the estimation of the better and worthier classes of mankind, such a grateful posit on, it may not be denied that the German system of association, which prevails all over the globe, ls entitled to a prominent portion of the merit. But of all associations, surely none are more truly humanitarian, more venerable or pub? lic-spirited, than ilio-e that are pre-eminently dis? tinguished as "the German Societies," which, all over the world, without the least selfishness or speculative intentions, as their main and only object, care for the poor German brother, that wunout means may be found wandering in the strangerland In search of employment and shelter, needing advice and help, or who may be by sick? ness prevented from earning his livelihood by his own teil. lt is a noble feature la our excellent people and a source of consolation and pride that their fra? ternal hand should be round to greet the poverty stricken countryman in every clime. In old Asia as In burning Africa; in Australia as In the re? gions of the Pacific; in all America as in all Bo rope, the distressed German will dud a brother's grasp. It ls said that England's reveille resounds at every hour of the revolution of the earth. Germany's faithful spirit performs the same revo? lution, not with the destroying sword, but as the messenger of love, soothing Gie stricken heart as the dew of the morning hour refreshes a thirsting vegetation. Is lt not apparent to every rat lonni understanding how noble must be the character or a people whose children in all portions or our ?phere have founded institution* in which novcrty may Hud help, Inexperience advice, distress con? solation and relief, and the unemployed enrour ?remet? t and intelligence ? The sou of Gem?anla ls not the bearer or trivial ceremonies and flip? pant modes, but or a better civilization, based upon truthful humanity. Thus wc may be grate? ful to God who has moved the spirit of our coun? trymen everywhere. Also in South Carolina, and we are grateful to our German brethren that ihey have advanced the work of our German Society to Its near fruition, which was for South Carolina a necessity, and for our German people a matter of honor. Thus we are grateful also to our Ameri? can fellow-citizens who have Kindly and wittingly assisted our benevolent Institutions. The good Lord bless ail the German societies wherever their homes may be located, and strengthen our heans that we may never ratter In the good work or un? defiled charity and German fraternity. On the 1st or January, 1870. we numbered one hundred and thirty-four members; we now have two hundred and sixteen, and have therefore In? creased la the course of the year eighty-two. Our receipts during the year 1870 have amounted to $609, and arrears unpaid $30, in nil therefore $639. $639 CO Our payments have been as follows, viz : Printing and advertising.$10t65 Books, seal, Ac.30 62 Agent's salary.75 00 Donations to 18 persons.08 50 Arrears as above.30 00-305 77 In treasury now.$333 23 There ls now due $25 for secretary's sala? ry, and $25 for agent's salary, which re? duces our clear balance to.$2S3 23 which according to our constitu? lon will have to be funded. In the course ol the last twelve months ninety fou i' persons have made application at our agency or these forty-six have, through the assistance of the agent, obtained employment; six of them have been forwarded to M. Louis at a reduced rate of fare; two were sic); and have been furnish? ed pecuniary aid aud sent to the hospital, where one of them died and the other recovered; eighteen have been assisted by pecuniary dona? tions; two have been forwarded to New York for half rates, and the others have been furnished in structionsand forwarded into the Interior ol' our State. Of those for whom we obtained employment In the city, nine had returned from Newberry, for which place they had been engaged in New" Yoi k by the agent of the so-called "Immigration So? ciety." Whilst we may not in every instance have faith in the complaints of such wanderers, our . ociety Will never refrain from protecting our coun rymen, where such [protection becomes ne? cessary. In our German settlement of Walhalla a number of German workingmen fran Newberry had also arrived la a state or utter destitution, without means and sick. They were kindly cared for, thanks to the good people' of our mouutaius, aud especially or Mr. liiemann, and rurulshed medical aid, nursing, and ou their recovery, em? ployment. lt may not be denied that the German working? men should be camions in the selection of meir engagements, and in the -tondrions of iheir con tract*. Our sister societies, especially thc one in New York, where at present so immy labor agents of the South congregate, should cause SUCH pre? cautions to be adopted, that no engagements be permitted when the respective agents do not pro? duce reconnu eu dat lons from their nearest Ger? man society. And these should be very particu? lar in giving such recommendations only altera ca re fu i Inquiry. Emigrant societies are, lu many respects, beneficial and desirable, incitations for employers and employee*. But their object is their own' advantage, and the end ;avor to pro? mote only their own lmmedUte profit. They mis? take their eventual good in their ettore to reduce the earnings or their workingmen. Good and prompt wages, and good and wholesome board, with gentle treatment, secures good, honest and remunerating Berrica, and a g?nerons influx of de? sirable labor, or the want or which the Soutn is now painfully aware. The German societies should supervise these matters strictly, not only as a protection and in tue into -;s: of the German laboring class, but In the real interest or our whole South, which, arter all, can only reoover her 'ormer prosperity by means or a speedy and enlaced Immigration. Oar agent has exhibited a praiseworthy effort in hls.offlcial dntles, and from time to time gathers such experience as will enable him to be more useful every year, and an honor to oar society. Ile ls held to keep exact books, one being a register to record the applica? tions or the Immigrants, their wants and requesrs for assistance or employment, the day of th? lr ar? rival, their name, place or birth, last ila-, e of resi? dence, trade or occupation, age and gender; and the other a record. In which the names, resi? dence, occupations, and offered cm v lo vin cn t, an? wages or the citizens aro noted, who are desirous Ol Ger. o au employees. Our treasurer has given us a bond of $2000, with two pood sureties, and an agent a bond of $600, with two good sureties, for the ralthful per? formance of taeir respective duUes, lu conse? quence of which oar financial status ls sattsracro rlly secured. At a meeting or the board or di? rectors several months ago, the treasurer, Cap tala Werner, called the attention of the board to the importance of organizing a night school for German youths, mechanics, Ac. The board agreed upon the benefits of such an institution, but felt compelled to postpone the further con? sideration or the subject for the present want of means. It will remain with onr respected countrymen and their Irlends, by an increased and lively par? ticipation in our efforts, to enable us soon to follow thc noble example of our sister of Philadelphia, ir not fully, at least m part. Their hall was erect? ed at a cost or $60,ooo, their library embraces thirteen thousand volumes, and their nlght schooi, In six classes, has au attendance or two hundred and fllty-six pupils. We have to tender our graterul thanks to the German Bruderllchebund for the kindly use of their hall, and to the Euglish papers und the S?d? liche Correspondent for repeated encouraging notices. We may confidently entertain the hope i that, ir we ourselves are energetic and persever? ing, from this small seed a great tree will soon spring forth. Respectfully submitted for the absent president, John Campsen. Jons A. WAGENER. Ex-President. The society then proceeded to the election of officers, and the following gentlemen were elected by acclamation : John Campsen, president; C. D. Brahe, first vice-president; P. vonSanten, second vice-president; D. Werner, treasurer; W. Michae? lis, recording secretary; W. Cfferhardt, corres? ponding secretary; C. PIcnge, C. D. Franke, fl.

ROBBING A TRUNE.-Joseph Brown (colored) was tried before Trial Justice Magrath, yesterday afternoon, on a charge of stealing clothing from Stephen Miked. It appears that some time ago, Stephen had come to town from Edisto Island, where both he and Joe reside, and had left his trunk ror safekeeping with Mr. Muller, in his s ture at the corner of King and Broad streets. As he made his purchases he would put them in this trunk, which circumstance Joe took notice of. On Saturday evening, when thc store was well filled with customers, Joe entered and seated him? self atlecilonately by tho trunk, having a capa? cious crocus cottee bag with him. in a few min? utes the greater part or the contents or the trunk, which was not locked, but merely secured by a strap buckled around lt, were transferred to the coffee ba? aud Joe departed. Stephen visited his trunk next day and Immediately raised the cry of robbery.

A meeting of the Agricultural Society of South Carolina waa held yesterday afternoon, at the Board of Trade rooms, the president of the so? ciety, Eon. Charles Macbeth, being in the chair. After the reading of the minutes of the last meet I lng, Professor McCrady read an Interesting lee] ture on Pisciculture, containing mnch valuable information on the subject in general, and In especial as to those fish of most importance to this section of the count ry. He gave an account of the large Italian fish farms at the mouth of thc Po, and showed how similar farms might be suc? cessfully and profit ably cultivated on the salt marshes of our own coast, the mullets, silver? fish and eels, which are the fish cultivated In Italy, being all available here. At the close of the reading or the essay the thanks or the society were returned to Professor McCrady, and tue secretary was instructed to pat the essay on file for publication with the other essays that were to be read. Dr. Rose then read aa able essay on Market Gardening on Charleston Neck, and hsw to make lt profitable. He thought that with care and skill it was as sure to be profitable as any other employment in which one could engage, and that the profits were remunerailve. Although there were many failures, he thought they were owing to attempts to cultivate too much tand with too little capital, and oftener with too little knowledge, or manures, he considered city stable manure, of which sawdust and rice chaff are the base, a3 worse than worthless, while prop? erly comported stable manure was not only valuable, but essential. Peruvian guano, he said, was the best commercial manure, and of the manures manufactured here he had succeed? ed best with the Pacific Cuano. made at Ritters ville. Potato culture was thc most Important branch; of market gardening on thc Neck, as much ns 28,000 barrels having been shipped from Charleston in 1869, and 14,000 barrels In 1870. Thc Red Chill he thought the most profitable variety, and the potato crop generally a sure source of large proQt If made early and shipped In good coudl'lon. Rain did not Injure them, but the sun did Our climate ls not favorable to potato culture, but by shielding the crop from Its Ul effects, we are sure of a profitable market at the Non h before their potatoes are ready. The profit or market gardculng ls not In a large amount ol Inferior stuff, but In the best products eat liest In the market. The thanks or the society were returned to Dr. Rose, and his essay ordered to be flied. Thc secretary announced to the society that he had received a letter from Mr. J. Jenkins Mikel!, saying that when he promised an essay on Labor lt was his understanding that lt was to be deliv? ered la May, and his engagements at present were such as to prevent his preparing one now. Mr. J. Stoney Porcher being called on for his essay on Improved Agricultural Implements, ex? cused himself as not knowing that he was to pre? pare one nntil he saw it announced In the papers, but nevertheless read a very lnierestlng and in? structive paper, giving his own experience with several Improved Implements. Mr. Porcher also received the thanks of the society, and his essay was ordered to be filed. Mr. Winiam M. Lawton stated, as a matter of informa; lou and general Interest, that lt was now known that the sea island crop was the shortest ever known la South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, but that bc knew of a farm on James Island, opposite the city, on land which bad been cultivated for one hundred years, where a field or forty-eight acres had this year averaged one hun? dred and ninety pounds or lint cotton to the acre, and where thc sales of the cotton from one acre had actually amounted to $198. A compost ma? nure, of which much mud was the lase, had been used. The society then adjourned to meet at the same place this afternoon at 4 o'clock. BUSINESS NOTICES.
