Pelzer, F. P. Elford, J. N. Robson, 6 S. Cook, H. W. Mif.ieU. * COAL TAR AND WOOD.-We take from thc Rnral Carolinian a paragraph from a letter writ ten.by Mt T. S. Dahney, of Burblgh, Miss., show? ing the preservative properties of coaltar. Mr. Dabney says: Fifteen years ago I had two very rongh gates made of timber wet from the mill, without an at? tempt at plan-mr, thc heart ami sap belair worked np Indifferently. They were put together by a workman; but, instead of mortice, the slats were let into the two vertical pieces, and secured there by nailing slats ov. r them. These gates were bung to trees s>xieen to twenty inches diameter, and then were thoroughly drenched-saturated with coal tar as an experiment. I have never made a second application of the tar, and yet, to? day, I cannot distinguish the sap from the heart. It is all equally solid, without the sllghest evi? dence of decay, or of wear from the weather. Why may not these rongh, sappy gates linger to rejoice, not on their thirtieth, baton their hun? dredth anniversary ? They have not changed per? ceptibly in flrteea years. They come up to their posts as sortly and as italy as on their first dav, and they maintain precisely 'heir origiual dis? tances from the ground, and do they cot go rar to establish ' the preservative properties of coal tar? They establish lt, I think. AU the experiments made by the English en? gineers with coal tar agree in their results with the experience of Mr. Dabney. Hotel Arri vals-February 1. PAVILION HOTEL.

Ile was disturbed In his meditations by a , policeman, who toot him In. After a night in , the lqck-up, he came before the Mayor. Ile plead- . ed first offence, and was discharged. A white man, In a similar condition with the . preceding, mistook a gentleman's house In Lau? rens street for his own, and, entering the premises, . commenced to raise a disturbance.

SAFETY OF THE BARK TEMPLAR.-The Balli- ' more Gazette or Tuesday, the 31st ult., says, lu " relation to this vessel which was supposed to have 1 Deen sunk by colliding with the steamer Kensing? ton, that the Templar was towed Into Fortress Mouroe, on Monday, the 30th, by the steamer Ya- ' soo, from Kew.Orleans for Philadelphia. The ' Templar had lost jlbboom and fore rigging, and 1 had her stern stove la. The Sun of the same date 1 says: Later lu the day thc owners of the Templar in 8 this city were relieved by receiving a dispatch c uinouuclng that the steamship Yaeoo, from New j Diieaus ror Philadelphia, had arrived lu Hampton . Roads, having the bark lu tow. The captain or the Templar rep ir ts that on Friday night, ubout 1 Jfty miles from Cape Henry, he was run into by a c ii opener steamship, carrying away his jlbboom , md rorcrlgging, and stovlug the stern. From he tenor of the dispatch from Fortress Monroe, c t seems evident that the captain of the Templar a ?vas not aware of the name of the vesser that ran c nto him. The Templar had on board a cargo ?onslsilug ot 3<J50 barrels flour. 400 kegs lard, zi *> packages furniture, 10,000 gallons relined oil, & f :ases manufactured tobacco, and 29 packages ? feast powder.. _ : A BAG OF COTTON STOLEN.-A colored man t rom the couutry arrived In'the city on Tuesday c ?vening with a small sloop-rlggtd boat, ia which tl ie brought two bales or sea- Island cotton ann a 1 locket belonging to Mr. W. L. Yenning, or Christ r Church. He found lt Impossible to approach his s ?sual berth at the wharf, and was compelled to 0 nake fast to the stern or a large barge loaded riui wood, to which a small, canoe was tied. Ujout midnight lt commenced to rain furiously, c md the colored ciptaln went below deck to keep u Iry. While down there he fell asleep. As soon 0 is he awoke he went en deck, and found to lils ? lis m ay that the pocket of cotton, weighing about c me hundred and rorty-iwo pounds, was missing, c ind the little canoe had also disappeared. The u natter was reported at the Detective 0mee, and i-esterday afternoon oiric cr Johnson arrested u lohn Whit , one of the hands on board of tbe vood-bar.'e, on suspicion of the robbery. The * locket c. cotton was marked W. S. V., and has ^ 10t been recovered up to this time of writing. 8 The prisoner is held ror examination. ' ? g A MIDNIGHT INCURSION AND A HOT RECKP- 6 PION.-On Tuesday night, a short time before 12 li J'clock, the residents in King, just above George 8 |treet, were startled by a rapid succession of pis- t tolshotB, brought forth by the daring attempt on i thc part ot some-villa.a to rob thc house ot Mr. 1 David, No. 334 King street. The first floor or the t house, ocoupled by the dry goods establishment ? or Messrs. R.*L. David 4 Co., had been shut up for over au hour, and the ramlly were In the f upper part of the house. Near ll o'clock they all I retired, leaving the lights burning for the time. A t young mau of the family had occasion to go down 1 to the store for something, and hr was returning' t up a narrow stairway, when a m m leaped from a 1 dark comer, where he lay concealed, and matte 1 off, carrying several bundles. The young man, 1 suspecting the truth, drew his pistol and fired at thefogutlve, whereupon the latter dropped two < silver rrult baskets and an overcoat, which he i had got from the dlnlng-rorm, and continued his 1 flight to the back, part or the yard, closely pur- ? sued by the young man Upon reaching the end 1 or the piazza the robbrr Jumped upon a small shed, when a second shot was fired at him, and, as he I leaped from thia luto the uext yard, he received < a farewell salute It is thought that the last took ' effect, as the fugitive was heard Immediately to ' cry out as ir in pain. The neighborhood was 1 speedily alarmed by the firing, but the robber ef- l fected his escape by crossing several lots, and dis- < appearing In the darkness. The premises of Mr. ? David were entered lu the short time that the 1 young man went down stairs, and lt ls evident 1 that the robber was watching for and chose this opportunity or effecting hts purpose. He had. barely eutered the dining-room, which opened on the piazza, and snatched up the fruit basket and overcoat, when the footsteps ascending the stairs . made bim beat a retreat, and hide himself in a dark corner next a small partition. The attempt Ls one ot the most daring or the numerous ones lately chronicled. There were numerous articles of value In the dining-room, but'no property was lost. STEAM TIME BY SAIL.-There arrived here yesterday afternoon, from Cardenas, CUDS, the schooner F. P. Frye, Frye master, with a cargo of molasses, consigned to Mr. W. P. Hall. This ves? sel left that port early on'last Monday, has come tn rough m the unusual time of sixty-two hours, and the captain says the vessel .could have made the run in fifty hours, but he shortened canvas on Tuesday night, fearing she would run by. The F. P. Frye ls a clipper built fore "and aft schooner, having a draft of about ten feet with her present cargo, nnd travels about as quietly as anythinguuder sail cando. She ls'only atout eighty-five tons. She reports off the bar the steam? ship North Point and several barks. BREACH OF TncsT.-Nicholas Gantt was; brought before Trial Justice Mackey yesterday morning and tried for a breach of trust, In ap? propriating to his own use the sum of ten dollars, which a colored woman named Rose Smith had given him to get her a license. Rose keeps a small fruit shop at No. 21 Queen street, and vends peanuts in .the neighborhood of the Courthouse.

After wa1 ching the unsuspecting Miller for sometime, aud following him among ihe throng, Joe wound his courage up to the nicking point, and determined to make an at? tempt upon the coreted articles. Approaching dis victim, who was otherwise engaged, and coni? ng Just behind him, Joe made a grab at the watch ind broke. The owner of it was too, quick, how- ( ;ver, and the hand of the pickpocket was seized | trim the watch in it. A considerable hubbub en- j med, but Joe was quickly handed over to a police- t nan who took him to the Guardhouse. He was I nought before thc Mayor next morning, charged ' vlth the attempted theft and with vagrancy. The j acts were clearly established, and the prisoner J vns sent to the House of Correction for thirty j lays under the vagrant law. I ? 1 A DRUMMER CAPTURED AND F?NED.-Several j lays ago L. Mnyhaum arrived In this city from ? he North, with a large lot of goods, which by igreement he conslgued to a well-known auc loneer and commission merchant of this elly. The merchant tcld the consignor that if he liad to leli the goods by himself he would charge ten per a nt. on the sales; but If the consignor chose to ;o around the city, soliciting orders and selling he goods, he could do so under thc merchant's ^ Icense, who would In this case charge but live per t :ent. The drummer went to work and was cap ured on Tuesday afternoon with a carpet-bag. , . >n King street, where he had visited many stores | , nd doue a thriving boniness. Upon depositing a heck for $1C0, be was released for the night, and lext morning appeared before the Mayor and d-i ended himself under the above agreemcut. The iayor decided that If the consignor hail staid i'orth, the goods could have been sold here under he commission merchant's license; but that the onslguor could not accompany the goods and Irum them ott* under thc merchant's license, as his would open the door to a vast amount of raud, and enable drummers to protect them elves under any other man's license. Theprls ner was sentenced to pay a tine of $25. THE ADELAIDE PUILLIPTS CONCERT.-This oncert, which took place last night in the fine all of thc Freundschaftsbuud, was handsomely tteuded; and we arc satisfied, from the expres lons of satisfaction heard on all sides, that If the ompany had remained another day their second oncert woald have been crowded te something ^pleasantly like suffocation. Miss Phllllpps has a deep contralto voice, fully uder command. There ls, moreover,* a bon tommie (If the word may be applied to a lady) In ier sluging, which places her lu sympathy with ier audience, and enables her to sway them as he pleases. This was especially noticeable in the iaughlng Song, which was dell vere J with an uu ffected ease and jollity which brought an entnu iastic encore. Miss Phllllpps thea sang a touch ngljaliad (The Years Glide By,) which Waa the ;em of the evening. This style of song, luseems ous, displays tue volume and richness of Miss 'iiilllppH'd voice rar better than the florid music of losslul. "Alaria Dolores,'* a cuban a-.njj, was liven witto, fascinating archness, and was loudly ipi.lau-led. Mr. Jules Hasler sang "Sel Vendlcata Assai," rom Dinorah, and -'Largo al Factotum," from I Barbiere, with splendid effect. The style of thc wo at las ls essem lally different, but Mr. Hasler vas as much at home In the passionate utraiu? of he ronner as In the rattling phrases or the im- , ut?taa-Flgaxo. W?.?egr?t .teat we have not l?d J 'he^op'portdnity of hearing Mr.-'-Hasler upon tte yrlc stage. Mr. Hoffmann, whose touch ls particularly ?lear and velvety, kept hlmsetf In the background, md declined an encore, which he richly deserved, [t maybe added that Mr. Holtmann ls an excellent iccoropauylst-a rare quality even amongst first-, rate pianists. .... ...

In his specialty, Mr. Levy Is unapproachable-and he knows lt. The concert had but one fault-its brevity; while the sole fault of the company ls that lt re? mains only one night In Charleston. The acoustic properties of Ihe Frcundschiftsbund Hall are very fine, aud the concert was, as lt deserved to be, eminently auccessful. Two members of the Bund kindly consented to act as ushers for ihe occasion, aud rendered vale able service. THE LAURENS TROUBLES.-INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL GRANT.-A special telegram to toe Co? lumbia Phoenix, dated January 31, states "that Colonel W. D. Simpson, Major J. A. Leland and Roberts.

Davega, Esq, The Augusta Chronicle, of yesterday, gives the following account of thc origin of an Impend? ing duel.: un last Sunday morning the Chronicle and Sen tltcl stated that a duel waa-on the tapl.i between two well known gentlemen from neighboring States. For obvious reasons neither the names of the parties nor the particulars of the affair were riven, although la our possession at that time. i)o yesterday, however.au expos? was made, and ?low wc give an account of the whole matter, which,- we believe, will be found substantially :orrect. Sometime ago a difficulty arose between A. H. Dovega, Esq., of Chester, S. C., and Colonel William Johnston, of Charlotte, N. C., iud President of the Charlotte, Columbia, and Augu-ti Railroad. Colouel Johnston ls said to Have beard that Mr. Dovega had informed the people of chester that he (Colonel Johnston) was jpposed to the Air Line Railroad having Its term! JUS at Chester, and used his influence to have'lt at Charlotte, because he was interested pecuniarily ;n the latter place. It was also reported that he tad condemned Colonel Johnston for sac rill log Lhe interests of the charlotte, Columbia and AU jnsta Railroad-which would have been subserv Hi by having the terminus at Chester-to hts own irivate Interests in Charlotte. About ten days igo Colonel Johnston, going down to Columbia to ittend a directory mreting, encountered Mr. Dai regaun the train. A disput? about the alleged re? ports ensued, which resulted In Mr. Davega being struck by Colouel Johnston. Soon after this Mr. Ja vega came to Augusta, accompanied by i friend, and a note was sent by him to Colonel Minston. On last Saturday morning a renly came rom the challenged party, accepting the rhal nge, nnu the time named, we believe, was Tues lay morning.- On Monday night there arrived on he Charlotte train Colouel Johnston, his friend, General Rufus Barringer, and a surgeon. The P0i ty went to the Globe Hotel, hut did net regls er, and kept very clwe in their rooms. At the 'Linters' were Mr. Uavega and his friends, Colo id McLure. of Chester, aud Captain George Tup mr, of Charleston, but there was no surgeon with hem. None of them were registered, however, ibough they had been at the hotel several dav?, indtheyk< pt carefully aloof, lt was expected hat the affair would come off yesterday morning, mt lt ts sal I that there was not time t > arrange he preliminaries, and the combat was postponed or a little while. Several parties, however, md heard of the proposed duel, and one or wo reporters and anxious Inquirers were at the io:els before daylight yesterday morning, walting or I he parties to set out for thc duelling ground, rhlch was supposed to be tho far-famed sandbar ?crry. On yesterday morning Mayor Estes re? lived a dispatch irom thc Mayor of Charlotte, tating that Cuhmol Johnston had come Itere to Ighta duel with Mr. Bawga, and Mayor Estes or lered the police to arrest Hie parties. After some litlesear.cn a lieutenant of police found Mr. Da .ega lu thc parlor of the Planters, and he was de lied to come before Justice Elis, who required Um to sku n peace bond lu thc snm of $200. Colonel Johnston was also found In his room at he Globe, and required to give thc same bond. It s believed thut this will end the affair. A baard if honor was reported busy nil day yesterday rylng to arranoo the matter. Others think that lure win be a duel notwithstanding the peace louds ?iud thc board of honor.
