THE CHARLESTON SENATORSHIP.-On 16th of February the people of this county wi called upon to elect a senator in the place of \ Mishaw, who died before his election. It ls gi rally understood that no efforts will be modi the Reformers to press their own candidate, it is not likely that there will be much voting i side of the coloced population. The Radical a rants for the office may already be countet the score, and are likely to be of all shades, r slognomlcally and morally, from whltey-bro to jet black. Speaking of this greedy class, Ci in his Missionary Record, observes, with m earnestness than elegance: Elect no man who ls extremely anx'oos for place. It is the highest responsibility which c be conterred upon a citizen In tho gift of the r pie. except that or Governor, and no man ot sn experience should be elevated to lt.

Tho sy ;em of railroads in this State has been govern-. Ulberto by a short sighted policy, never roachlti nto the future and grasping thc ultimate rel ion of different Hues.

SEEING A FRIEND TUROUOU.-On Friday af? ternoon a colored rann named Henry Page be? came very druuk and disorderly In King street, and was told by a policeman to desist and go home. Th drinkist, it seems, was almost "spil mg Tor a tight," and, rushing upon the ci:y ofll clal, gave him one I two I lu the face with tre? mendous effect. A reinforcement enabled the police to capture Henry, who, finding it was no use, tried the "possum" game and laid down quietly. There was no niakiug him move, and a cart wa3 quickly obtained, as a crowd was gath? ering on the street. This roused Hoary, and his handi being pinioned, he let fly with his feet with telling effect upon thejaw of a policeman. In the end they were too many, and the prisoner was conveyed tu the Guardhouse. A sympathe? tic crowd followed the vehicle and cheered the struggling unfortunate at each desperate effort he made to shake ott the police. He was duly incarcerated, aud the crowd ordered to dis? perse. Most of them took the bint, but Harry Williams, a friend of the man just immured, who had accompanied the cortege from the 6cene of the first blow to the Guardhouse, held his position and said that he knew the law, and no police dared to do anything with him. He was becom? ing disorderly from the encouragement of the crowd, when he was arrested and taken into the receptacle for public nuisauces. Aftor spending the night, the two appeared before the Mayor next morning, who did not show much sympathy with them for the wrongs they had induced, and sentenced them each to pay a One or five dollars or go to the House of Correction for five days.

GENERAL M. S. LITTLEFIELD.-Many of our citizens remember this individual in connection with various transactions which occurred In this city and State soon after the war.

The matter was reported early next morning at the Detec? tive office, and the rain, which fell carly during the night, gave Officer Daly, who had the matter lu charge, a clue to the offender.
