Since their departure from the city last Novem? ber, they have made an extensive tour through the South, and everywhere have been greeted-by large audiences.* We presume that the excite? ment which marked their former stay bas not m the least abated, and that thousands win be jost as much mystified by their seemingly supernatu? ral performances as they were before.

Tbe Jory bi ought m a ver? dict or "accidental death by being ran over by th^Palmetto Steam Engine." THE OED E08T0EEICE. There is no landmark in Charleston so time honored, so rich ta revolutionary associations, so identified with a century of events, as the band? ing which stands at the foot of Broad street, on the Bay. Rode and ragged it is now; mat Hated by the shells or General Gilmore; scarred by time; .?ith lichen growing from Its assures,.and rata written everywhere upon Us venerable front. In? deed, it has become the kingdom of the bill sticker, and huge letters anil startling adjectives descriptive of the exaggerated and Impossible, have hidden the sightly proportions that were wont to look down upon the busiest locality in Charleston. But, thanks be to the spirit of the age, a change ls soon to occur; and the old wreck will be made once more to assume its shapely beauty of the past. For many, jnnny months, lt has been the aim of our business men, who mostly do congregate in the down-town marts, to secure fite removal of the city Postoffice to its former quarters. Peti? tions and political influence have been exerted, ? and at last Congress yielded to the demand and allowed aa appropriation of $20,000 "to ba applied In patting the old pile tac :ondltfon>of repair. The amount may not be sufficient, but lt will at least enable the architect and contractor to re? establish, on its former site, an institution that has been a pilgrim since the stormy times of 1803. The announcement will be received with satis? faction by the entire business community, for a post-office always gives vitality to the neighbor? hood ta which lt Is located, and certainly there is no spot In our city which, by nature and art, ls better adapted for the purpose than that which is already historic. Ur. W. B. Hoyt, who ls charged with the duty of taking the preliminary steps, will commence his labors within a fortnight, asd, before the busy season or autumn ls apon as, we hope to hear Broad street resonant with the music of tho United States mail, lt will be some? thing gaine J likewise, when the genial face of Postmaster Trott beams from lils office windows "down town." and ali happy smile lights up the now dreary surroundings of the "Old Exchange." The changes to be made have not yet been de? termined upon. The plans are dally expected from Washington, and on their arrival will be submitted to Ur. Trott for his approval, and that he may suggest any alteration which wdl conduce to the public convenience. At present nothing will be done with the upper 8f>'T. Only the lower floor will be the object of improvement, and this will probably be divided tato one spacious apartment for the general de? livery, and three smaller ones for the subordinate . purposes of the office. At first it was thought ad? visable to make a new eut rance ou the north end, bnt it appears that there is some dispute whether the city or the general government own the prop? erty, and the contractor, Ur. Hoyt, will therefore retain the mata entrance tn its present position, but materially change ita character, by removing the present steps and making a broad opening, with three stairways of ten or twelve granite steps, commenelng flush with the face of the .building. There will also be a private entrance to the office of the postmaster on the sont ti Bide of the building, the office aforesaid being the first on the right as one enters the mata door-way. The dimensions of the floor are about ninety-five by 54 feet, which properly divided will afford am? ple room for the accommodation of the public The ladles wlU have a private delivery ia some sultaole place, which has not y et been selected. As was stated above, however, the working plans have not yet arrived, and until they do, neither Ur. Trott nor Ur. Hoyt, the contractor, can take action ta'the matter. The latter ls at present clearing away the rubbish which has been accu? mulating for several y eire, and it may be ten days before he ls ready to proceed with the work. He believes that it win be completed wlilrta ninety days. . We hope that this improvement ls only the pre? cursor of otters, and that within a year we shall find the edifice .a. theatre of commercial activity and successful enterprise, Just HS II was ta "ye olden time." BORNE FROM THE FIE:.D.-The warm weather of nascent spring proved too much for a white man, who was laboring under a heavy load of whiskey at the corner of Market and Church streets, yesterday, at 12 o'clock, and he com? menced to divest hlmseif or his clothing. This queer proceeding attracted the attention of the police, who speedily arsested him for being drunk. By their efforts, his clothing was re? placed, and the resisting prisoner was taken up bodily by the police and several "colored volun? teers" and borne through the streets to the Guard? house.\A crowd soon gathered, and acoompanied the cortege, cheering the efforts or the prisoner to free bUoself. So much sympathy was manifest? ed that a number -.^actually entered the Guard? house to see -uhe result, and only st threat of ar resting-Uiem.-could induce the others to disperse. The prisoner was lodged for examination this morning. ' CLUBS AND STARS_John Alexander, arrest? ed for being drunk and behaving Inde< . itly at the corner of Church aud Chalmers streets, forfeit? ed his deposit of $5 by his failure to appear at thc Mayor's Court. John Toney, a colored boy, who had been in the habit for some time past of running away from the maternal roof, was lodged ta the Guardhouse by his mother as a vagrant. After a hearing be? fore the Mayor, he was sent to Jail for twenty days. Emma Nicholl; ^disreputable character, arrest? ed for disorderly conduct and using abusive language to t he'poltce' on East Bay, near Laurens street, late Tuesday bight, was sent to the Hoase of Correction for ten days as a vagrant. John Kelly, rod ged on the charge of-vagrancy and keeping a disorderly hoase at the corner of Bast Bay and Hasel streets, was sent to the House of Correction for ten days. . One, individual who, after several drinks, im? agined himself the owner or the Otrarleaton Hotel, was arrested ta that place, and discharged next morning upon explaining himself satisfactorily to the Mayor. BILL-STICK_IN J.-If anybody In this country thoroughly understands" the art of making the streets attractive with colors, and in spite of one's self exciting public- cariosity, until greenbacks fairly groan to get Into the treasury of a theatre, that individual ls Mr. John T. Ford, the proprietor of the Holiday street Theatre In Baltimore, and the manager of several troupes now travelling ta various parts of the United States. The last ef? fort ta this direction made by this gentleman through his agents, ls In covering our city adver? tising boards, especially those ta front of the Charleston Hotel and Mills House,kwlth a tasteful combination of lively scenes tn the artistic .career or Lydia Thompson and her accompanying blondes.' They aie announced ;o appear at tt e Academy of Music next week, and we have every reason to believe, n<>t only from the gorgeous style in which the fair Lydia looks lithographical? ly upon the passing throng, but from the praises of the press, that they will give a decidedly re ireBhlngand agreeable series of periormances. Say what the world may, Lydia la the'Qaeenof Burlesque, and "she ls child-like and blonde." HINTS FROM WASHINGTON.-The Washington correspondents of the Northern press honor South Carolina with the following paragraphs: A delegation has arrived here from South Caro? lina to inform the President that all tue. State officers residing in Union County have been no 11 tied? by the Xu-Klux to resign in fifteen days. The delegation auk the Pre>ident to send more troops there at the ear? est possible moment ? Senator Robertson, of >outh Carolina, presented an amnesty bill early in the present session, and lt is Ute intention ot that gentleman, if no indica? tions are presented of aa almost Immediate adjournment, to press its consideration and pansage. Attorney-General Chamberlain, of South Caro? lina, ls here with a letter from the Governor of thats, ate, making a 1 or mal aoplfcatlon to the President that troops be furnished him for the porpose-oi suppressing Insurrection there. The letter states that the disorders are mainly con? fined to tne northwestern counties commonly kno*n as the eld Calhoun district, and that the civil authorities are una le to give protection to loyal men there, lt lt ls also further stated that a regiment of cavalry would beor most se vice In hunting down the desperadoes and dispersing the marauding Ku-Klux bands. The letter wu! be presented to the President upon his return from Philadelphia. WHTPPING A. BOT.-William Smalls was brought before Trial Justice Mackey yesterday afternoon and tried tor beating a small boy, the grandson of Silva Waring, the prosecutor. The. prisoner had entered the premises of the proseen tor in pursuit of the boy, and having caught him, administered a severe beating, ile was found guilty and sentenced to pay a One of $5 and costs or go to Jail for twenty days. After the trial a friend of Smalls approached one of the witnesses for the prosecution and assaulted him on Meeting street. The two were Immediately taken back to the trial Justice, by whom the matter was amicably ar? ranged. ' THU AMATECR DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT at the Academy of Music last night was a signal success In every respect. Never yet had the par? quette and dress circle been so densely thronged. Half an hour before the curtain rose every seat I had been occupied, and hundreds of chairs gave temporary accommodation to the crowd that Ailed the aisles and lobbies to overflowing. Num? bers of ladles, unable to gain admittance to the I lower portion of the house, betook themselves to tho family circle, where there was more room. And the performance was worthy of the au? dience. Although the occasion was not one af? fording a legitimate subject of criticism, we take leave to say that the plays were presented in a manner of whlclrno metropolitan stock company need have been ashamed. Every part was sus? tained with an excellence that betokened careful and conscientious preparation, and the hearty plaudits and frequent doral tributes of the au? dience showed that they appreciated the drama? tic treat. The highest credit ls due to ail the la? dles and gentlemen concerned In the affair, which must have yielded a very handsome sam to em? bellish the house of worship of the Israelites. LIFE OF GENERAL LEE.-John Esten Cooke's ' "Life of General Lee," which will soon appear from the press of*D. Appleton A Co., ls an elabo? rate bffgrapliy, including an accurate bnt dra? matic and picturesque history of those military transactions in Virginia of which General - Lee was the distinguished leader. This "Life of Genera: Lee " was commenced five years.ago, in 1866, and the author then Informed General Lee nf his purpose. The General, In reply, assured him that the work "would not interfere with any that he might have in contemplation; he had not written a Une or an: work as yet, an might never do so; but should he write a history of the campaigns of the Amy or Northern virginia, the proposed work- would be . rather an assistance than ? Mnderance." As Colonel Cooke, In his 'letter, had offered to discontinue the work ir not agreeable to General Lee, this reply is an obvious sanction of the author's design. It ls prepared I by a mau or large literary experience, who served 1 in the Virginia campaigns, and saw much of what be describes; and General Lee's sanction of lils design arose from bis knowledge of Colonel Cooke's peculiar fitness for the task. The Gene? ral has died without executing his at one time contemplated labor; and this biography must, tn a certain sense, AU the place, as regards the his? tory of the Virginia campaigns, that Lee's own history would have done, bad he lived to write lt. Mr. J. Russell Baker, who ls the exclusive j . agent for Charleston, will give ali further Infor- I matlon desired. "SOLD AND "GOT THE CASH."-The mysterious is always attractive. Excite a man's curiosity, and yon touch the most vulnerable part of his being. Make him think that Heaven hos picked him out aa a favorite, and that lock has only to be played for to be won, and he will go to thc most ridiculous lengths in tempting the Goddess For? tune. It was probably on this principle that fifty or seventy-five people-eager eyed and venture some-assembled, yesterday morning; at the auc? tion rooms or Mr. J. G. Miinor, in Meeting street, to attend the sale or the unclaimed goods or the Southern Empress Company. Everybody knows that, In the course of a year's business, a con? siderable number of packages necessarily accu? mulate on the hands or public carriers. Tne goods may be damaged br worthless; they maybe refused because they do not correspond with the orders given tor theta; or the parties ordering may have [ died, or removed; or the "C. O. D." demand may have astonished their pnrses, and provoked spo? radic traits ofi m pecunlosi ty. There are, indeed, a score or reasons why merchandise should tbus remain uncalled tor, and be subject to the rulo walch has been adopted tor several years or dis posing ol them at public sale. Well, they were , put up yesterday. There were packages or all sizes, shapes and colors-bundles that looked on the outside as ir they might contain marvellous contents; bags obese with substance which, when < opened, were found to have bid de ap hosp ha te rooka I ' or something worse; boxes marked wit ti hiero? glyphics suggestive or wealth, and yet when emp? tied, beggarly in their exhibition or anything but the merest trash. Still, every one good humored ly took his chance. One or two fatalists most have expended large sums In buying those un? known packages~4he smaller boats kept near shore. The bidding was spirited; the auctioneer was u-eiy and conscientious in recommending nothing, and all seemed perfectly content to take their chances in the grand lottery. A tow or the I articles may have possessed an intrinsic value in excess of the prices paid; bnt the others may be fairly prosumed to be only worthy of the inex? haustible omnium galTwrum of Mrs. Toodles, whose representatives were present by the score, j BU8INEXH N O T I ?
