The whole place had already been < gone over by the Insurance agents, and every i thing ol value to be round taken ont ; bnt.thls did < "not dampen the ardor of the boys in the least. < With spades and Iron bars, they began throwing 1 np the charred rubbish m every direction, the i casual discovery of an old knife or lock teing E hailed with as mnch enthusiasm as that .of gold < nuggets In San Diego.

An Astounding Orgy onJBdistuIala.iid Bowen on the Gubernatorial War Pata. The belligerent Bowen has again assumer! his war paint and featbers,and is on tte war path. His plan of campaign ia to lure tue credulous colored mass?B to retired groves upon the Islands ol the sea by such devices as the seductive ginger cak? .and the exuberant root beer, 'md, havlcg es:, hlblted to them such dainties, to inflict upon th?m speeches from improvised and and rustic platforms, wherein he lays his hand upon his heart and begs to know if they, his au? dience, whom he ls glad to see and proud to call his brethren, caa believe of him, who thus ad dresses them, the scandalous and wicked tales that are spread broadcast by those malici?os emissaries of the Evil One, hy which be begs to be understood as mean ta; the Democrats, whose hearts are deceitful above all things, and desper? ately wicked? Whereupon.his dusky audience, with a livery sense of ginger cake to come, re? spond with shouts of "Hear! he3r!" "Kl yl !" "Bress de Lamb," and in divers other incoherent and irrelevant manners, express their hearty reverence for the gentle Bowen, and their high appreciation of the bovine barbecue. A lovefeast or this character took place last Sat? urday night, at the Camp Ground on Edlsto Is? land. It ls described with gushing enthusiasm by some of Its attendants, and from all accounts lt mnst have been a sort of cross between a colored camp meeting and a Vondon Incantation. The am - bit iocs Bowen exhorted ?nd expostulated, berated and besought and pumped the excitement m his ? shouting audience np to fever beat. He argueO and they applauded, he gesticulated and they roared, he danced and they prostrated themselves In convulsians of delight, until the audience resolved Itself int J a promiscu? ous, squirming, perspiring' mas- of odoriferous enthusiasm. Men shouted and womeu bowled.the little plekannles lost their ginger cakes by being crushed to Nubian jellies In the seething mass; the Saturnalia1! echoes resounded from the trees and scared the solemn owls down from their resting places, who circled round the scene sad .gazed with big-eyed wonder. Next a ru Sh w.as made for Bowen by the effusive- shades, who re? fused to be pacified, . except. by shaking hands with their new apostle. They hustled him off of the platform, and,, stretching their numbers, out in two long lines, the shaking or hands began. The martyred orator passed down the centre, his arms on either Bide working up and down, as seized by the dusky gauntlet, and' looking like the levers or an erratic pump. Old blind men, toothless and tottering, came and pnt their hands upon him because they "wanted to see dis man Bowen;" women Jostled out of the line by the stronger men, reached their hands through the ranks, plucked the hem or Bowen's garments, and shouted with rapture. "I touched 'om ! I touched 'nm !" and mothers brought rags and handkerchiefs, laid them np against their new found Moses, and took* them away to lay on their sick babies. In tact the dusky mass did every .thing that gushing Idiots co-Id do nuder the strongest stimulant or excite? ment, and then 'he cakes and beer supervening, they devoured them with eager avidity, until, with the disappearance or the last ginger caite, and the sqnec-zmg or the last beer-bottle, they wended their devious ways back to their var'ous dene,.making night hideous as they passed with crazy shouts or "Bo wea for Governor ! Oh let my people ge." THC METEOR.-The German gunboat Meteor, which oar readers will remember visited our wa? ters a few months ago, reached Kiel, her port of destination, on the 25th of Jone. She got home safely, and was received with great rejoicing and hearty congratulations. UNCLE SAM'S MAILS.-A curious condition of things is reported to exist in Marlboro' Coun? ty regarding the local arrangements for re? ceiving and forwarding the mails. The govern? ment contractor, Mr. w. rt. Fowell, lt appears, has a habit of lying off drnnk at one end of the town at times when he should be dispatching the malls and letting the wide world, Including the trains, wag as lt will. This has happened six times during the past month, and-.thegood peo? ple of Marlboro', though ordinarily patient, com? plain that lt is getting monotonons. Has this man given Kaiser Ulysses any presen t?, or ls there any other good, reason why Le should be kept In a position he-dlsgracesr . r. .~ THE SOUTHERN CLAIMS COMMISSION. - Mr. Theodore W. Parmelee, the Special Commissioner ol the Southern Claims Commission, has publish? ed a letter informing those " truly loyal " people who have claims against*the Federal Government for Indemnity the process to be pursued In'mak? ing their appUcstlons. He says that claimants whose claims do not exceed $3300 may present the same to him, without going or sending to Washington, and recites several or the regula? tions or the board, the mos; important of which ls as follows : AB the act of Congres* limits the jurisdiction or this board to " stores and supplies taken or fur? nished for the use of the army," no testimony need be taken as to charges for rent, for the use of real estate, for damages to real estate, or for damages to fields of grass or growlug crop", re? sulting from the march of armies, or from milita? ry operations. But pasturage, growing crops taken and actually us.ed by the army, standtag wood and timber used for fuel, or to build forts, hospitals, barracks, shelters for soldiers, or sta? bles, are held to be "supplies." So when bulldlnes are torn down and the materials actually used, the value of the materials ls allowed. RENOVATION OF THE GLEBE STREET CHURCH. The Glebe street Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. Slrardeau, past or,ls being thoroughly overhauled md the Interior repaired, under the management >f Mr. J. C. Lacoste, contractor. Daring the war 1 large shell passed- through the wall where lt oins the celling over the pulpit, and the concus? sion occasioned by the explosion brought down a arge extent or plastering and rendered the rest note or les? unsafe. Last winter.the corporation tedded that lt was not prudent to use thc church int ll thc plastering could be repaired, and lu ic ;ordance with this decision the work was placea, i few days ago, In thc hands of Mr. Lacoste. The ivhole or the plastering on the celling has been aken down, with the exception of a strip about ?even fi et wide, on each side over the galleries, md will be put on afresh. While this ls being lone the Interior of the church will be repainted, .he pulpit In imitation of marble and thc walls painted to simnlate stone. The dall, reddish brown jf the exterior or the church will also be changed to i light yeilow color. Portions cf lt have already )een repainted, and th: coloring makes a real .astern! appearance. The whole Job is expected .0 be. finished by the 15th of September, but the lervlces at the chnrch will hardly be resumed be ore the 1st of October. SNEAK THIEVES AT WORK.-Between ll Relock Tuesday night and daylight yesterday norning, the residence or Mr. J. J. Grace, No. 10 Society Btreet, was entered by a daring thler, who nade good ills escape with a suit or the proprio, ors clothes, in the pockets of which were several valuable papers, checks to the value of between 'our and five hundred dollars, and a roll of loose noney. Mr. Grate retired ?it about ll o'clock, ind left his clothing hanging on a chair near one >f the-windows. The robber clambered np the gatepost on to the piazza, shed, and entered tue aedroom through one of the windows which were merely bowed. He seems to have known the con? tents or Mr? Grace's pockets*, rer he contented himself with securing the suit of clothing, and quietly making his exit. Mr. Grace had been ont the day before collecting for the firm of Cameron A Barkley, and thu accounts for the number of valuables he had about bim. The payment ol tho checks have been s topped, and the whole affair has been placed in the hands of the detectives. On Wednesday evening, a party of gentlemen Who were spending the evening at a house In Laurens street, just In the rear or the Bcene or the abpve robbery, were somewhat discomfited when about to take their departure, to flee*, that the hat rack near the rront door had been cleared of hats, ^oats, canes, and everything worth taking. The theft was adroitly accomplished, and not the slightest suspicion was aroused until the guests were taking their departure. PROCLAMATION. State of South Carolina-City of | Charleston.

Some surprise is expressed as to the action f the City Council at their last meeting in refer nce to the re-election of me aa city civil engl eer. A short explanation may remove any Insinua ons as to the apparent Irregularity or their ae? on.

Hu term of o?ce ex ired on the 12th of March, but the changes In ie offlco or civil engineer, with new duties con lined la the new bill, required its ratification be )re an election for this office could take place1, ince last Jape, the time when the bill WSB ratt? ed, a quorum could not be bad la Couacll to lect a civil engineer, owing chiefly to plausible Aorta used by a rival candidate who aspired to e civil engineer of the City or Charleston. There are this election was delayed from time to time otu tho meeting of Tuesday evening last, when quorum was present. The election of civil engl eer was brought up and aoted upon m the regu ir coarse of the business of CounclL This Bhort xplaaatlon will exonerate the action of the pres nt Council from any Intention or forestalling the .ctlon ol the Incoming Council, and relieve me rom the Imputation of undue efforts to secure an fflce which might la any way embarrass the ac? ion or the nature Council.
