Nothing was troubled by them, but one of the party ascended noiseless? ly to the attic, and there secreted himself tn a oloaet, which was never used. The villain laid here all day Wednesday without being discover? ed, and that night when all was quiet, came oat and went to work. He seems to have gone through the whole house, and collected several silk cresses, a velvet cloak, and other valuable arti? cles or apparel. Yesterday morning the front door was found open, the traces or the Olef were ^-discovered In the closet, and numer?os articles missed. nair or shoes were found by a servant under the ^attora leading to the yard gate, and later In the day a colored relio w was seen hover lug around and at last asked for his shoes.

SSERIFF MICKEY'S HOTEL. Life In the Charleston Jail-How the Prisoners ?re Kept-Thc School and the Pupils-Dinner in the Corridor Bill of Fare, ?fcc. The Charleston Jail ls one of the most com? plete and well appointed public Institutions In the city. The object.or a jail, that of keeping prisoners secure, has been moat completely at? tained, and, with the exception or the mysterious Grimes, an escape from Its walls bas not been chronicled since the war. The massive building, with its buttresses and castellated walls, Its lofty to?er, its heavily barred gate and windows, Its "Loop-hole grates where captives weep, The flanking walla that 'round them sweep," are all familiar tc our citizens; and the flourish mg condition of the Institution, and the Immense patronage it bas received in the past few years, make lt an object of Interest to all. In the past year or so the condition or the unfortunate In? mates has been considerably ameliorated, and un der the rule of Sheriff Mackey things are working in a most orderly and creditable manner. IN THE JAIL there are now one hundred and five prisoners, the number hiving been considerably reduced lately by the "new departure" or sixteen promt neut inmates for the Penitentiary at Columbia Of these seventy are'State prisoners, and the re? main lng thirty-five are under sentence or await mg trial m the United States Court. The latter are kept separately, and being confined princi? pally for offences during the November election, are not ordinarily ruffians, but mostly men of in? telligence. The seventy State prisoners are those sentenced at the last term of the Court of General Sessions, those sent tn by trial justices, and lastly, those who are committed for trial at the Novem? ber term. There are bnt ten white prisoners In the whole lot, and of these three are females. TlfE MALE AND FEHALE PRISONERS are kept in separate cells, and their quarters are lui te comfortable. ? The cells are .. eli ventila tedi ind particular'attention ls directed to the cleanli? ness of the prisoners and their apartments. Every morning the TIN PAN BRIGADE turn our, and tie floors of the cells and the walls ire scrubbed by the Inmates until they are quite :lean. Their bedding ls also aired meanwhile, is snon as this la finished, they are Inspected by the physician ot the the Jail, and lt la a fact worth noticing, that since October, 1868. only two leaths ('rom disease) have occurred among the prisoners. This ls something unusual, and ipeaks well for the sanitary measures no rr pur med. AB soon as the scrubbing ls over, the pris mers repair to THE SCHOOL ind enter upon a new sphere or duties. The ichool ls a charitable undertaking, which was >rlglnated and has been carried on by Mrs. J. C Haussen, the wife of the Jailor. It was instituted n June, 1870, and has since then been kept up by 1er exertions, without any payment or recoin jenso from tho State or county. The pupils can ll afford to pay, and the charity, inasmuch as lt roes to the abode and centre of crime, ls ao much he more praiseworthy. The pupils are taught rom 10 o'clock until 2.30 P. M. each day, except Saturdays, in summer, and Sundays. The princi? pal ls assisted at times by such white prisoners is are able to do so. On Sundays the services of i preacher are usually obtained, aud the prison ?rs ali attend divine service tn the school-room, There ttiey aloa hymns and listen to instructive iddresses. THE SCHOOL ROOM. a a large roomy apartment on the second floor, ind ls filled with l->ng benches upon which the cholars sit. The walls around are covered with ?lack boards upon which the dally lessons ire Inscribed with chalk. In the beginning a lot ?fbooks were obtained, but the pupils after ser v ng their term In jail generally forgot to leave heir books, and so the system of book-teaching tad to be abandoned. There are now about eventy pupils In the school, sixteen of the most orward scholars graduated a few days ago, and eft for the university (Penitentiary) In Oolum ila. Nene but Inmates of the prison are allowed 0 attend, and they are all divided Into TWO LAROB CLASSE3. The first class ls well advanced, and la taught .rtthmetlc and geography. They read the Bible, nd spell with great facility long words or three yllables such as "larceny," and know the mean ng or lt too. The shining light la this class waa len ry Taylor, who went to the Penitentiary las reek for stealing. While awaiting his trial he inproved his mind, and If he ls not hanged, will irobably be an educated maa one ol these days, ames dillard ls now at the head, and is also walting his trial for grand larceny. He has ve months until November, and is making the lost of them. Thia class ts composed of grand ircenlsts and assaulters, with an occasional urglar. THE SECOND CLASS ' 1 composed of smaller fry. They have their let srs and words of one fyi.able printed In chalk on he blackboard, and from the same source or tn plraOon. they chant a lesson In the mal ^plication abie'. ' Most or these are vagrants and petty ?ar enlata. They are not the beat dressed or the most itelllgent looking set In the world, but the field i not hopeless. The small boys learn quickly, ut the girls and the men seem more diffident, n the morning the Ten Commandments are read nd explained to them, particularly the eighth, he CHIEF OBSTACLE . ill ?-' . ,| t . vi ) the learning or the prisoners is the interrnp ion occasioned by their term being out. Most or tem are sent for thirty days, and at the en t of iat time are discharged and rotgut everything, t is curious, however, that they always .cum to ie school arter a short holiday, in spite or the IgBth commandment they fall Into their old ricks, and are aent up for another term. The harleston thieves are not numerous enough to scape detection ror a long time. A robbery ls ommitted, and the thief ls immediately suspect d. In this way several pupils have been at chool m the Jail for eight or nine months, with ut four or five days of holiday at the end of ach thirty days. This is the effect of the trial istice system, and where Judges are so numer? us, the Jails must be full. A short time ago, a oy stole FOURTEEN' FANCY FOWLS, nd wa) sent to Jail for twenty-five days. He con - ?sed lt m jail, laughed at the term Imposed, and aid he would serve ont the term and then get the Dvris. He said they were worth lots of money, nd he could afford to buy them at that price. Yesterday the female pupila were unable to at snd the school until late, the turnkey having ln dvertently gone off and carried the key to their ells. The drat class were engaged In their AV'T HM ET IO LESSON. Teacher, ir you wanted tb buy cloth, what leasure would you use ? AU. Cloth measure, small boy, sotto voue. ' I rouldn't walt mr medger um." THE OOOD EFFECT OF THE SCHOOL ito give occupation, and at the same time In? unction to the prisoners during several hour*1, rhlch they hitherto used to spend In cursing, wearing and gambling. They are now quietly mpi JV ed, and the residents In the neighborhood ll bear witness to the Improvement In this re peet. No noises are heard, and during the school lours the Jail ls as quiet and orderly as one or thc rell-regulated public schools or the city. The VISITING DATS ,t the Jail are Tuesdays and Fridays, and then ny one can see any or the Inmates and bring hem little comforts, which cannot be furnished rlthln. At hair-past 2 o'clock school ts dismiss id, and the bell rings ror DINNER. ?hlB ls served In the large corridor of the Jail, vhlther the edibles are conveyed. The prisoners ach produce a targe tin pan and a spoon, and Lssemblewlth commendable punctuality. They ire helped to about two quarts or stuff, and the ivldlty with which they devour it ls wonderful, 'heir appetites are indescribable. Few stop ?hort of two quarts, and one accomplished a wa er bucket of feed at a sitting. Some or them mas; but a single garment, having traded all the est away to the other prisoners for dinners. Hey have fresh meat three times a week, and "HOP-IN-JOHN" he other four. The latter [ls, by far, the most popular dish, and* they prefer lt to any other. It ls composed pf bacon, hominy and cow peas. These Ingredients are bolled together Into a stiff, dark-brown mass, and the way in which lt disap? pears under the delving spoons ls curious to be? hold. In fact the inmates of the hotel hare as much done for them as boarders in any other place, and they patronize the establishment ac? cordingly. The sheriff ls allowed but 40 cents per day per head for dieting his prisoners, and with Buch cheap board, no one can quarrel with the fare. THE YARD OF THE JAIL ls kept clean and neat, and in the rear la the rickety-looking old gallows upon which Horace Greeley was hung. They are in bad repair from want of use, and. will soon fall to the ground. The tower ls not In use, bat ls closely shot np. The Jail has been visited often by successive grand Juries, who have always reported favorably, with the exception of a single grand Jury of the United States Court, who found fault. But the hotel, ou the whole, to say nothing of the "self supporting" school, can well bear inspection and comparison. . THE MOUNTED CLUB.-Another meeting of | Ihts popular club was held last night at the hall 3f Hook-and Ladder Company, No. 2, and was well attended. The president, General James Sooner, for the drat time since his election, was present, and, In takln? the chair, addressed the ueetiag, thanking them for the honor they had < inferred upon him m a few appropriate' and 1 tappy remarks. Upon the report of the commit- 1 :ee appointed for that purpose, the uniform of the 1 :lub was adopted. It ts tasteful and handsome, 1 md consists of a black velvet cavalry Jrcket, se- 1 sured by a Bingle palmetto button at the throat, Tit ? a bus vest, black pants and high top boots rhe hat ls a black slouch, with feather. The arms >f the club will consist of a light cavalry sabre ind a Colt's navy pistol. The sabres will be pro sured from New York In a few days. A r?solu - lon was passed thanking the officers and mern' >era of Hook and Ladder Company, No. 2, for the ise of their hall, kindly afforded to the club dar? ug Its meetings, and, after transacting some ?'.uer business of no public interest, the club ad ot*- ued subject to the call of the president. NOTHING LESS THAN A MAJOR-GENERAL.-A audible ambition to make an appearance worthy j >f his military prestige on the glorious 4th, has [ minced the Irrepressible Major Samuel Dickerson 0 consult the harness-makers, and at Mesara, ??apean A- Heffron may be seen an outfit for the iarade which would do honor to a maJor-generaL he major bas given free play to his fancy, and he result ls a combination Lof trappings, blue iloth and gold lace before which a simple civilian rould be lost in admiration and wonder. TheJ iridie and headstall are sufficient for four ordl lary ones, and under them a common horse f onid look like a mouse in a wire trap. The un? pretending saddle ls to be covered with a gen ral's saddle-cloth of blue beaver, with gold lace oar Inches deep around the, edges, and studded nth blazing gilt stars. The rest of the outflt ls 1 keeping, and whatever trimming was ever sard of la the regulation book, or conceived by ian, are au there. In these gorgeous accoutre lents the major cannot fall to be the observed of J ll observers, and those Beaufort chaps will have ome Idea of the glories of the militia in Charles on.
