It is scaneely credible that any one ot the hundreds who visited the Monumental Fair last night, could have been disappointed. Keyef,'.lif ? its recent history at least, has Hibernian Hall-so often a scene of public concourse-presented, rarer spectacle than was depicted to the "eyes, from the opening of the doors until midnight ad? monished the visitors that it waa time to retire. The ladies had "accomplished wonders. From a' chaos of flowers, hunting and merchandise, there bad been reared falry-llte bowers, shapes of beau? ty, and Golcondic mines of fancy store >. A melt? ed ralubow emptied through a sieve would have fouud a rival tn the rare display, which, from floor to celling, around the walls, and upon thc tables, caught and held the eye. We can give but a general Idea of the occa? sion, and ir, c?rrente c?lamo, we omit mention or any or its prominent reatures, the lady mana? gers will understand that lt ls only from a desire to hold something in reserve. Elbowing o e's way through the crowd, and answering a hundred winning questions en route, the first table reached on the right is that ol Mrs. Henry Wigrall and Miss Blamyer. Here you find temptation scattered to a degree that wonld mate even a rich man feel poor-a lovely selection of -the prettiest designs Imaginable f"r the toilette, boudoir and nursery. An oil picture of St. John and the Lamb rorms the centre piece or the deco? rations. Smaller pictures or distinguished gene? rals adorn other places. . Among the relics to be raffled at this table ls a button worn by G eneral R. E. Lee on his military coat during the war, and sent by the great commander to a lady of this city. Passing on we reach the pds tombs, where pretty mail agente officiate, and coquettishly make one pay for missives as sweet as honeycomb-and j Just about as hollow. It is a tasteful Institution, ? however, and during the evening appears to have been generously patronized by the young bachel? ors. Beyond the postoffice 13 a Oyp3y tent-a curi? osity which, tri:h Its contents, we Iqave the visit? ors hereafter to penetrate. There may be a ror tune in lt. Mesdames Olnejfr and Stocker have a very large and beautiful table richly adorned, Immediately adjoining the tent, and never were the powers or'| .lasclnatloa more successfully exerted than last night The articles es jibits J are "too numerous to mention," and the selection ls one that ap neals to every taste. The band formed a dividing line between the tables at the end of the hall, and "music soft, music swed, lingered 'round the place." . Crossing to the opposite side wc dud a temple of flowers, beneath which Mrs. Wineman and her fair assistants dispensed the hospitalities or the occasion, and made everyone reel littered at such an opportunity to spend greenbacks. Re? freshments* In abundance- elegant cakes, choice perfumery, and beautiful things gene-ally, are embraced ta the catalozue or this . table. Here, tod, ls the grand raffle or the Fair-a hundred dol? lar bond, a silver pitcher, and eight other choice articles. ' Mrs. Dr. Solomons and Miss Simpson have a j very handsome table adjoining the one last nam-' ed, where, under a tent-not strictly imaginary the array of pretty articles ls both large, and unique. Among other cariosities ls au exiled French Countess, who is to be rata ed ; s calce con? tributed by Mr. Jackson, of the Charleston Hotel, . representing a Confederate monument with a Confederate soldier on top. avery striking and f artistic work; and various articles from Canada, Switzerland and Germany. In this vicinity, toa, we have a t wen ty-fl ve ceru table for children, and a miniature specimen or what a model married man's domicile should be every detail being correct except the absence or twins. Mrs. Snowden and- the ladles or the Widows' Horde have a large and ver/ attractive table, or rather a series or tables, richly supplied. Wax dowers, palmetto work, Swiss carvings, curious dolls and dresses, and hundreds or articles which lt would occupy hair a column to describe, are the -stock which excuses the crowd for lingering. A large and expensive music box is among the things to be raffled ; also a coke from Baltimore. And a Confederate Colonel, a roguish-looking blonde, Innocent of whiskers, but so fat. In the fice that somebody suggested that he?night have a link or Prussian war-sansage stowed away in either cheek, presided gallantly over the table. The Colonel, we need hardly add, was armed, cap-a-pie, lu the well remembered grey, with every detail or his -uniform complete. Hts gorgeous get-up must evidently have been the handiwork ot some ralr and unrepentant rebel. A stand loaded with bouquets and crowned with a pretty schooner yacht, occupies a place near the entrance. We have made a rapid tour or the hall. T.:e raffling was animated, while plenty of greenbacks appeared to And their way Into the pockets of the ladles from legitimate sales. The commit tee in charge or the prizes performed their duty in an evergreen stand erected lo.the centre I of the hall, and or course were the cynosure or all' | eyes.

A more unpropitious evening than last night could hardly have been duneed upon for thc festivity or a bal masque, but in spite or the weather, the ball or the Germania Bund was a complete suc? cess. The splendid concert-room at the Academy was crowded at an' early hour with the merry maskers, and the bright light and particolored dressing within round au agreeable contrast with the raia.and storm without. The costumes were various, and among them the comic were an un? failing sof ree of fun. AU the usual characters were fonnd, Dutaband.of mischievous ^orangou? tangs, and a partidor the p/tzileged class, led by a candidate elect for ;he:9tat? senate, Were espe? cially prominent and amusing. The costumes among the ladies were tasteful and becoming, and in many cases handsome. "The -Daughter or the Regiment," "Night," and the antiquated vendor or peanuts, were especially good. A splen? did band from the gallery discoursed the most alluring music, and waltz, polka and quadrille followed in charming succession. The dancing was only begun when the masks were dropped at ll o'clock, and with pretty partners so abun? dant, all were sony when lt closed, at an hour which heralded the approach or morn. EIGHTY- 81 . si yans A Interesting Proctcd lng-,-CompUmt to Captains DuTtchurt nnil Dutton ./.Election of Officers-Sew Member : Thc Supper Last Evening-Speeches Sentiments, ?fcc. - The 87lh anniversary of the CharlestOE Chamber of Commerce occurred yesterday. Tlie'members assembled , at 2 o'clock P. M the hall; corner East.-Biy and Broad streets. V President Samuel-F.""Topper in the chair, when the following-business was disposed of: The various committees made their annul ports,\Which were adopted. Mri "Wm. A. Courtenay addressed'the Chamber as follows: Ur. Presiden'-lt has been suggested that there would be a propriety In the Chamber of Com tnerte taking notice or the recent marine occnr rencos happening in January. Two steamships arriving at our port, after collisions a- sea, each cut down to the water edge; one at a distance 120 miles, and the other at a-dlstance-of 800 miles from Charleston, and yet rescued without serious loss to cargoes. 1 therefore take pleasure In bringing the clrcum stances of these accidents to the steamship Cuba, Captain John M. Dukehart, of the Havana, New Orleans and Baltimore line, and to the steamship Sea Gull, Captain N. P. Dutton, or the Baltimore and Charleston line, particularly before the Chamber, with a view of expressing to the com mandera Of those steamships the high appr?cia tlon m which their conduct, under most perilous and unusual surrounding?, is held by the com merdai commuaity of Charleston. -' The month of january, Just passed, has been marked by a most unprecedented series of marine disasters, the statistics of looses, as far as ascer tamed and estimated, showing the large figures of over $3,ooo,uoo, quite three times as much has be eu considered a large, month's footing here torure?3P|hile on distant seas -violent gales ivavo-'SmBo-oyed' stately ships, : with valua be cargoes; our immediate* 'coast has been shrouded in dense fogs, a ternattng wi snow storms of unusual Severity. Under such condMons the dlmeulUes and dangers of coast navigation were greatly multiplied during the period referred to, and that great danger of collis? ions necessarily increased on the much-frequented thoroughfare between thc Northern Atlantic pons and Charleston. The steamship Cuba, Captain John M. Pakehart was run into on thc night of me ?ttl January on? hundred and twenty miles east northenst Charleston, by an unkuo.vu brig, opening her p?rt side for several feet above and below her water line; the water* pouring freely luto the steamer's hold. Captain Dukeharr. assls'ed by his officers, lashed themselves with ropes an plunged Into the sea, and with mattresses and bedding succeeded promptly in srrestltt? che leak Returning to the steamer, a portion ot the cargo af,sugar was removed to the upper starboard deck, until the steamer listed suillclently to bring the damaged section above the load line. The Cuba was then headed for Charleston, ana .by able management of captain Dukehart, supported by the o rn ce rs and crew, this feat was successfully accompli-bed, and on the morning of the 23d she reached this port in safety. The steamship sea Gul!, Captain N. P. Dutton, collided with the schooner Watson, on the night of the 22d January, crushing lu thc whole bow o the steamer, through which opening the water flow ed freely Into the hold. Captain Dutton promptly ordered the forward cargo to be thrown overboard andi nail v succeeded, with the assistance of hiS of? ficers and crew, in lightening the vessel to (hs ex teat of bringlag the leak abeve the loa.1 line,'an J by using bedding and mattresses arrested the water. In this condition, Captain Dui ton attempt e.i-to get lr,t? Hatteras Inlet, but railing in this on account or the Sea Gull's draft of water, stood atong the count, and, under convoy r f the stearn ship VfcglnM, Captain Alexander Hanter, of the Philadelphia aud^Gh'arJeston -Llue, finally reached rhts'pi rt on.the morning of the26th, to the sor prise i a*-'the-iff hole couitnuait-y.'-Bythe prompt and intelligent, action of Capt alu'. Dukehart and Captain Dutton two large"and valun"b:a 'steamer and-thstr cargoes have been nearly entirety saved tolownere. underwriters shd consignees, A fe w minutes of hesitating delay, and property to the amount of 1400,006, or $500,000 must assuredly have been destroyed,.^which resale; .would, in ai: probablllty'have beenioilowed by loss of life. ' Aaiias b?en properly remarked by the press "nothing" but a high sense pf] duty could have prompted men id ar tempt so wonderful a rescue cf property at sea,'! and it well becomes an asso elation of merchants like ?hts to express their ad miration ol conduct, marked- by BO much of true courage and devotion to duty. Be lt, therefore, ? Resolved, That the .Chamber of Commerce of Charleston- has heard with great satisfaction of Me successful management of . the steamship Cuba and of thesceamship Sea Gull, arter.the col Unions af sec,' evidencing, as the facts da. the brave and skilful qualities of Commanders Dukehart a?il Dutton, conduct In both instances which should be held up as examples of seaman ship worthy oT emulation'.' -'Resolved, That copies-of these proceedings be properly engrossed; attested by the seal of the official* of tne Chamber, and forwarded to C?p? talaDukehart and "Captain Dutton. Upon motion of Major P. J. Porcher, seconded by U 1). Mowry, Kaq., the resolutions were unani? mously adopted. - . F. w. Dawson, Esq., offered the following Teso lttUon?, TfTitch were adopted: <. ... ReMwa, That the Chamber of Commerce'01 6ha r?es ton 'haa.heard. with satlafaotlpn thai lt ? ls proposed in Congress,' ripon (lie recommendation of the proper officers, to make an appropriation for the Improvement or the Beach Cliaunei. in the harbor of Charleston, a matter In which the Chamber has always taken an active interest. Resolved, That the .president or the Chamber communicate this resolution to the senators and representatives from South Carolina tn the Con? gress of the United States, and request on behalf of the Chamber lhat they use all their Influence to secure thc passage of the appropriation refer? red to, as one which will add to the prosperity of Charleston, and will, through Charleston, be or bene!! t to all South Carolina. The Hon. Charles M. Furman tendered his letter oLresignation, and, on motton, he was elected an honorary member. A communication from Representative Hunter, of the State Legislature, was read, asking the opinion of the Chamber on -the bill to authorize the municipality to issue policies of insurance, and rhe sense or the Chamber was expressed ad? versely thereto. The following gentlemen were nnanlmously elected members: Messrs. R. Lathers, O. W. Amory, B. R. Riordan, Jos. A. Hyde, V. N. Tal mag?, Geo. D. Walker, B. S. Rhett, Julius M. Rhett, Jas. R.

Few occasions hare been more Bucessfully man? aged, or more replete with pleasure, than the an? niversary banquet which concluded the business of the day. Tully, the well known caterer, had been employed to expend the genius or his art in producing the wherewithal, and under his bands the dhiing apartment ef Hibernian Hall grew suddenly suggestive of the Joys to come. At half, past s o'clock P. M., the members of the Chamber assembled In the vestibule, and in a few minutes thereafter one hundred and twenty-live gentle? men representing the varied commercial inter? ests of Charleston, marched iato the banquet hall to t!ie mnslc of Professor Dauer's band. The chair of the president lu his absence was occupied by Vice-president S. Y. Tupper, Esq., and never did the Chamber of Commerce possess a spokesman whose grace, geniality and ready humor were BO calculated to enhance the pleasures bf a public evening dinner. Among the guests of the evening were his Reverence Bishop Lynch, James R. Randall. Captain J. M. Duke? hart, or the steamship Cuba, Captain W. P. Dint on,of the steamship Sea Gull, W. L. Ellis, Esq., of Macon, and John-W. Rlee, Esq., or.New York. The chorus of knives and forks, and the changes of thc table having occupied th?' usual time, Mr. Tupper arose,-.andi in a few. well-timed remarks, paid tribute to the venerable character or the Chamber, Us conservatism, and Its power as a bulwark against the encroachments or those principles which were sapping the foundations of society and or trade. Arter alluding to the affliction which prevented President Mure from being at his place at the board, and expressing the common regret at his absence, he concluded with the sentiment: Commerce-Untrammelled by taxation and un? restricted by l?gislation, lt ls the messenger of peace, and must ever add to the wealth or na? tions. This called to his feet the acting vice-president, Mr. E. H. Frost, who gave as a sentiment The Prosperity or the City of Charleston-In the future as In the past-steady and sure. (Music.) Colonel P. C. Gaillard responded, and conclud ed a happy speech," with a sentiment to the clergy or Charleston, which called ont the Right Rer. Bishop Lynch. .That distinguished clergyman .made a brier, bat hopeful speech, which was re? ceived with every demonstration or satisfaction. He gave as a sentiment, South Carolina and her glorious future. (Applause.) Music-Dixie. The president now paid a handsome compli? ment to one or the guests .or the evening, in* the :|oUowing happy strata: Gentlemen-It ls a pleasure to welcome at onr board to-night one whose name Ls tammarin al? most ever- household or our Southern land wh03e8tralns or melody have6ttneJ the patriot's hean, and endowed with ure and beanty the Bcenes or our late Conrederate struggle. What breast has sot fired with emotion upon hearing .his hymn or Maryland peal forth In grand chorus from a thousand voices in our. soldiers'camp, or - when in tender strains lt has warbled from the Hps or woman In our homes and sanctuaries ? Whose eyes have not moistened with tears of sym? pathy for our dead warriors, whose Insulted graves at Arlington has been made the theme or our poers song? Bat why enumerate the triumphs or his muser Bis song's are familiar to us all, and he has played upon our heart-strings with the hand or a master spirit. It ls no exaggeration to say that the immortali? ty, of our heroes depend more upon the song or the poet than upon the pen of the historian. The great Achilles himself would never have been im? mortal had not the blind old min or Solo's rocky Isle steeped him In Helicon and embalmed him in the amber of poetry. . The songs of oar Southern poet, Mr. Randall, will, I believe, give that Immortality to his name which he has given to the deeds 01 those whose glories he has sung. I propose his health with all the honors of the Chamber. Bright be his days-may life's blest hours Bring for him Hs loveliest dowers; And when with dose or time-in view, May age for him have comforts too. The band played "Maryland, My Maryland," . and the distinguished poet, In a- fervid and elo? quent strain, responded to the compliment. Cheer on cheer anawered the points he made, and the enthusiasm, scarcely knew bounds when Mr. Randall recited "The Lone Sentry-Jackson Keeps Guard in Camp To-Night."' When the applause subsided, Mr. Randall gave, as a sentiment--The Bar of Charleston." Responded to by Colonel William Whaley and John Hanckei, Edq. Mr. J. H. Miller, or O-orgia, was called npon to slug a sohg, and very handsomely rendered ' The Heart Bowed Down with Sorrow." Other ' flows or soul" followed, and, at mid? night, thc Chamber of Commerce was lu the hap? piest condition possible, consistent with thc pro? prieties ot the situation. SOLDIERS ON A SPREE. -Between ll and 12 o'clock on Sunday night four ' boys In blue" came up through Market street, well primed with whiskey and spoiling for a-fight. A well-known barber of the vicinity, who erossed their path, was chosen as a flt subject, and In a trice he was knocked down by the ruffians. He gave the alarm, however, and the police coming to hts rescue captured one of the assaulting party, and the other three took to their heels. After a abort chase, being too groggy In the legs to run, the trio were captured In King street. A night in the lock up sobered them sufficiently," for an inter? view with tim Mayor pro tem., who sentenced them each to pay a fine of $ io or go to the House or Correction ror twenty days. Af ter mature de? liberation they chose the latter, and were yester? day sharpening their noses against the Iron bars to the door or that popular Institution. TOE OLD STORT or IHE DARKET AND THE PIO.-Joe Ward, a colored resident at Ten-Mile Hill, on the South Carolina Railroad, went walk? ing last Sunday evening, with his faithful dog and trusty axe, In the woods near his house, for the parp?se of getting some lightwood. While meditating ou the Ills of this life, a beautiful porker of the most tempting personal appear? ance crossed his way, and, as the memories of the tempting spare ribs and crisp roasts came floating through his mind, Joe instinctively "slcced" on his dog, and started In pursuit. The' tempter was overtaken and dispatched, and ail traces of 'the deed carefully obliterated.

Grimes, who lately confessed baying murdered Colonel Wm. P. White, at the instiga? tion or 0. 0. Bowen, in 1864, at Waccamaw. near Georgetown, effected his escape on Sunday night from the jail, in company with another prisoner. By the instructions of the she/Iff, Grimes, from the moment of his Incarceration, was allowed by the Jailor the liberty of the yard and dffloe. On tho night In question, Sheriff Mackey was Ut at the Ja}!, and the jailor had gone up to see him in his room jost over the office. Grimes wa? left In the office, and, Anding no. one on the watch, he prized open a desk and got possession of- a key to the side-door. Tom Williams, a prisoner con? fined for assault and battery upon his mother, was with him, ann by means of the key they opened the side-door into the circular apace for the stairway, and finding the small outer door open, the two walked quietly into the sireet. They did not leave word where.they were going .r when they would be back, ami have not since been heard from. Auotner mystery la the dark Bowen record l A. PROTEST. On the 1st day of February Mademoiselle Adelaide Phillipp? gave a concert at the Freund? schaft sbn nd Hall, on which occasion the accom? panying pianist, one Mr. Hoffman, after having performed several pieces tn a sort of boaFdlug school-mlss rashion, stated that he would play more, if it were not that the plano was too bad. At this conduct ot thc soi-disant maestro we were highly Indignant, bat at once came to the conclusion, that Mr. Hoffman was paid by some enterprising plano manufacturers to make little and depreciate all pianos lie may happen to meet np with In his concert tour with Miss Phllllpps. unless such pianos should bear the Imprimatur or the said enterprising manufacturers who have retained his services. It was perhaps well this artist (?) was not asked what faults he found lu the Instrument, for unle-s he was prepared for a tetal disregard or the truth, we know that he would have been at a loss to frame a reply. To be sure, we may be mistaken, and do Injus? tice to Mr. Hoffman; but lest those who necessari? ly nave to depend In the choice or a piano upon the judgment of others should allow themselves to be misled by such a barefaced, falsehood", we* declare herewith : L That experts consider the piauo3 manufac? tured by the Messrs. Knabe, or Baltimore, as un? surpassed by those or any other makers In point of tone, construction and durability. 2. That the piano or ??he Freundschaftsbund is au unusually flue Knabe, and that the agent of the Concert Compauy, Mr. Payson, when he rented the locale was delighted to lind so excellent an In? strument, and at once engaged it with the hall. 3. That Mr. Hoffman proved htmseir to be but a very mediocre artist by the remark aforesaid, for almost any Instrument, not ont or tune, gives forth good music when touched by the bauds or a master. Mozart enchauted his hearers when playing upon the old-fashioned spinnet, and Paga? nini's violin earned enthusiastic applause when the master's Angers and bow had but one string to play npon. To be sore Mr. Hoffman could not play upon the magnificent Knabe Instrument, but then that was-the fault of the plano. SEVERAL PIANISTS PRESENT. Charleston, February loth, 1871. SALES-DAY IN BLACK VILLE.-The last issue or the Barnwell Sentinel says: "Tho largest crowd we ever recollect to have seen at Blackville were present on Monday lest.

TSE BAJ>I?AL COUNTY CONTENTION A Chapter la Politics-Speech-making Born Politicians-How not to do lt. In response to the call of the chairman of Charleston County, the Radical delegates assem? bled at the Military Hall yesterday, and at tue ap? pointed hour the small room on the first floor, m which the convention was to ne held, was crowded to suffocation. Among the delegates every variety of color common to the haman race. 13 to be found, but the black largely predomi? nates. In the midst of a. distracting confusion Parson R. H. Cain took the chair, by virtue of his office, and called the meeting .to order. . A num? ber of motions were immediately made, when the chairman, who fortunately, possesses a good tem? per and a sound pair of lungs, proposed to organ-. lze_ by electing a temporary chairman and secre? tar^. Several speakers rose, bat owing to their all speaking at once, our reporter was unable to ascertain the drift of their arguments. A perti? nent remark was hers made t&at there were but ninety-Biz memhers of the convention, and over ono hundred- and fifty persons were in the room. A motion was thereupon .made and seoonded to exclude all bat those'who had proper creden? tials, and carried with a shoat, amidst ones of "Mr. Chairman," "Order," "I rise," "I object," and howls from those wlthout-papers. The haH was cleared In a few moments and the delegates then entered as their respective pre? cincts were called. The place was sqpn filien again and nominations called for, for the office of temporary chairman. Colonel Taft, R. B. Artaon and several others whodecllned, were nominated, . and an ele:tlon by holding up right hands re? sulted In the choice of R. B. Art-ion, colored. Several nominations were made for secretary, and J. P. Howard was elected. Thc county chair? man then reigned the" control of the convention, with a few remarks, Into the hands of the. newly elected chairman, who, after, a short address, took bis seat." A committee of seven ' were ap? pointed to ex -imlue the credentials of the doubt ful delegates, there being two sets of delegates from several precincts. Amotr-n was now made,'and carried unani? mously, that Lieutenant-Oovernor Ransler, who was present, should address the meeting. That official attempted a speech, but the "confusion dire," which reigned la the centre and lower part of the hall, prevented his being heard. A motion to that effect having been carried, Robt. Savage was appointed sergeant-at arms, and by dint ef his strenuous efforts, and continuous rap? ping on the table with a hage hickory stick by the chairman, some appearance of order was at length restored. The Lieu tenant-Governor de? livered a lengthy address, which was Well re? ceived by such of the audience who were not too busy In their small political circles to listen.. He said he was a citizen or Charleston Connty, and felt a deep Interest In the action of the conven? tion, and advised them In making their nomina, tlon to select one who was reliable, capable, and, above all, a thorough going Republican. He ad? verted to the bioad principles of Republicanism, which distinguish neither race, color, nor nation silty among the citizens of the United'states, and after mentioning the several candidates for sena? torial nonors, he advised all to give their strenu? ous support to the nominee of the convention. The speaker came rather abruptly to aa end aa some one in the crowd vociferated "Amen !" and confused sounds of cursing and swearing and pushing at the door, which prevailed throughout the speech, erew louder. On motion, lt was resolved that the representa? tives of the dally papers be invited to seats on the floor of the convention. A motion that - Sampson, member of the House- of Representatives of North. Carolina, be invited to address the meeting, at the time thought proper by the chairman, was carried, but, on search being made, that personage hap? pened not to be present. Trial Justice Levy being invited to address the meeting, made a few remarks advocating the unanimous support of the nominee of the con? vention. Rev. E. J. Adams being likewise called npou, endorsed the views of the last speaker, and believ? ing lt highly proper to elect an Intelligent man, modestly offered himself to the convention as the equal of Corbin, Leslie and other senators lu* every capacity. The speaker adverted to bis ac? tion when a member of the City Council, and said now. as then, he would etand by the princi? ples of the Republican party and tho people. generally. Parson Cala nsxt addressed the convention by request, and referred to his actions while hereto? fore representing the people as being those of a just and honest man. The Rev. M. Mills was next introduced, and spoke of his belog a South Carolinian, and living hereslnce 1800. During his address he was fre? quently Interrupted by loud talking and laughing.. The chairman beiag thea called upon made a few remarks concerning himself and his being a candidate through the solicitations of his friends, and he believed of the people. . Arter this speech the committee on credentials made their report, and several present being ex? cluded by lt the discussion which followed was hot and loud. The chairman was deafened with the numerous calls upon him, and a dozen sten? tors had a vocal battle for the floor. Stephen Brown, the Biggin Church Demosthenes, came off ric tor, aad gallantly held his own against a dozen "pints of auder," and a resounding chorus of shouts and speeches. As the hour grew later and the frequent visits to Kroeg's Inn stirred .the slug? gish blood of the dormant politicians, the din grew louder, and the disorder more general. It seemed at this Juncture that of business there would be no more, and a dozen excited orators, hoarsely shouting "Mr. Chairman," crowded aroond the beleaguered chair. Thc leport or the committee having been re? ceived, the convention went into an election for a permanent organization, and the following of? ficers were elected: J. F. Greene, president; M. Caulfield, vice-president; c. J. Anded, Stephen Brown, secretaries. These officers were duly In? stalled, and for the first time the convention as? sumed some appearauce of order. A sergeant-at* arms and two tellers having been elected,-the .nominees for the State Senate were called. On motion, lt was resolved, that the election should be held by calling aloud the names of each mem? ber of the convention and voting vivi voce, and that a two thirds vote should be necessary to an election. An endless number or candidates were then nominated, and at a late boar, seeing no probability or an election taking place that night, our repdrter left._ UNITED STATES COURT.-The District Court was opened at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, his Honor Judge Bryan presiding. The case of the Beaufort commissioners was taken np, and the evidence closed after several witnesses had been examined by the prosecution. G. D.
