A BURGLAR CAPTURED.-The burglar who robbed Dr. McGregor, of Columbia, a few days since, has been arrested in Jacksonville, Fla. The thiel proves to be a barber recently em? ployed in the Columbia Hotel. He exhibited considerable sums of money during his stay in Augusta, and several packages of gold and silver, which shows him to be an old offender. CLUBS AND STARS.-Sam Ferguson, one of | the Juvenile fraternity of the bootblacks, ar? rested for being disorderly in front o? the Mills House, was sent to the House o? Correc? tion lor five days. Isaac Evans, lodged for being disorderly in King street, was sentenced to pay a fine ol five dollars, or spend five days in the House of Correction. SEARCH FOR THE DROWSED MAS.-Several attempts were made yesterday to recover the body ol Henry Manigault, who was drowned on Monday night, by dragging at the head of | Market wharf and in the vicinity. One color? ed man kept discharging a shot gun into the water with the hopes of bringing the corpse to the surface by the concussion, bat all efforts proved futile, and the body has not been re? covered. m THE GALE ASD THE GEORGIA BICE CROPS. The Savannah Republican says: "All accountB indicate a very Berious damage to the rice crop from the recent gale and flood. Most of | the fields on our river were completely sub? merged, and the Gulf Road conductors inform us that the entire bottom of the Ogeechee ls covered with water, and at a critical time for ?he crop. Actual effects have not been definitely ascertained, but the most disastrous results are apprehended." ATLANTIC SOCIAL CLUB.-At a meeting of I this club, held on the 16th Instant, the follow? ing officers were elected to serve for the en? suing year: W. F. McGlnnisB, president; T. A. Lynch, vlce?preBldent; W. Toye, secretary; J. Rowan, corresponding secretary; J. F. Cul? len, treasurer. Committee tn finance-T. J. Lynch, J. J. Cheran, W. Toye. Committee on letters-W. F. McGInnise, P. Frawley, G. Jel ferson. P. Minaban, steward. After the meeting adjourned the club, partook of a sup? per. T WES TT DAYS IS JAIL.-The following par? ties were yesterday brought before Trial Jus? tice Magrath, and, aiter trial, sent to rusticate in Sheriff Mackey's Hotel for the term o? twenty days each: Susan Gibbs, tor stealing' a brooch ft-om Mrs. Lambert and several articles of | clothing; John Jenkins, alias Cuckoo John, for stealing a lot of boots and shoes from Henry Darlington; and lastly, John Wright, for steal? ing provisions and an axe from the sloop Ann, at the foot of Calhoun street. The parties are all colored and were arrested several days ago, the examination having been postponed for want of evidence. THE FIRST BALE FROM COLUMBUS, GA. Messrs. G. A. Trenholm & Son, of our city, re? ceived and sold yesterday the first bale of new cotton irom Columbus, Ga., that has reached this market this season. It was shipped by r Mr. John Munn, of Columbus, was of Georgia growth, weight 497 pounds, classed strict mid? dling, and wan disposed of at 194 cents per | pound. ' The package was put up In the most substantial manner, the ties and bagging be? ing excellent, and afforded a thorough protec? tion to Its valuable contents. Ibis Georgia trade should be encouraged to reach tblB mar? ket in every possible way, and we hope tbis season will give proof of its decided increase. CRUMBS.-Mrs. Catherine Baker, of Marlon, died on the 20th, aged over one hundred year?. The store of Mr. James Stackhouse, in Marlon County, caught fire on Friday. A considerable amount of property was destroyed. The German 'Artillery Target Association will have an extra meeting next Sunday, when business of importance will be brought up fur consideration. The ball which was to have taken piece yes? terday, at Mount Pleasant, was postponed -on account of the weather, and Mr. Torck an- j noun ces that lt will come off next Wednesday. James Nash, a sailor, was arrested yester? day morning by the detectives, on the charge o? desertion Irom the schooner Edie Walter. He ls held for examination. CATS ASD CANARIES.-The Deutsche Zeitung of this morning, In commenting upon a para? graph which appeared in THE NEWS O? yester? day, suggests that it was "highly Indiscreet to mention the remarkable tax levied upon the Paris cats and canary birds, inasmuch as if the matter comes ta the ears of our lords and masters at Columbia, before the meeting of | .he Legislature, lhere is no telling what new mischief it may put into their heads." It is true that this leech-ridden community hardly needs the imposition of any more kinds of 1 taxes, but it ls scarcely credible that any mode of rascality, by which they might get their hands deeper Into the pockets of our citions, could be a novel suggestion to the black ar.d tan Solons In the Columbia crow-nest. A STORMT EXCURSION.-The party ol gentle? men who left here some two weeks ago in the yacht Loully for the Hunting Islands, reached the city In safety Tuesday morning. The gale of Friday lound the excursionists en? camped on one of the Islands, and the yacht at anchor in Fripp's Inlet to the rear. The *Yorce o? the storm soon made a wreck ol the tent, and the party were compelled to take refuge among the sand hills. The staunch little-schooner, however, rode out the gale at her anchorage without accident, and on Mon? day the party went on board and ran up to Beaufort. The yacht was left at this point in charge of two boat hands, and the excur? sionists made their way to the city by rail. The storm put an end to all sport, and was an incident not to be forgotten in a hurry in the history of maroons. HEALTH MATTERS.-The city registrar's re? port lor the week ending Autrust 19 exhibits a total ol eighteen deaths, including five col? ored and thirteen white persons. There le, however, one more colored cemetery to be heard from, which usually returns about six burials per week, so iliat the deaths among the colored population should be stated at about eleven, and the whole number at twenty four. The mortality of the previous weet was thirty-two, and of the corresponding week last year thirty-lour, so that an extremely healthy condition ol the city is indicated. The boord of health held a regular meeting yester? day afternoon, and alter a full discussion of the situation of affairs, took such action as will tend to preserve the public health, and prevent the possibility of the introduction of aoy dangerous disease. TUE RIGHT MOTE MADE. Employment of the Fire Department to Pump Ont tile Submerged Lots and Cellars-Other Precautions Needed. The effect of the article in our issue of yes? terday morning, advising the pumping out of the cellars and vacant lots, has been marked and immediate. Dr. Lebby, on reading THE NEWS the first thing in the morning, as is his sensible habit, was forcibly struck with the argument that the health authorities would be, in the absence ol the street inspector, hela strietly responsible for the cleanliness of the city, and he drove down to the City Hall for a consultation with the Mayor. His Honor had lust finished reading the paper, and fully coin? cided with the registrar's views of the case. It was speedily resolved, therefore, to order out the ' fidV engines and have these Improvised ponds dried up. The Mayor proposed at first to give to Mr. T. J. Mackey the general super vlsonofthe work, but he was speedly con? vinced that, for obvious reasons, that would never do, and the duty was accordingly as? signed to Major E. Willis, the energetic presi? dent of the /Ema Engine Company, who was instructed to call upon so many of the differ? ent engines as necessary to speedily remove the water. Major Willis at once communica? ted an order through the acting chief engi? neer, Mr. Alexander, to all the different com? panies to turn out and set to work within their respective districts, and pasted notices upon the bulletins informing all citizens who had places that required to be emptied that it would be done without charge upon applica? tion to him. The steamers first employed were the Washington, Hope, .Etna, Young America, Vigilant and Palmetto, besides sev? eral of the hand engines. Other steam? ers .were ordered on duty as fast UB they could be usefully employed, and were kept at work all night, the firemen, both white and colored, cheerfully volunteer? ing their services, so that the only expense to the city will be for fuel and the actual time of the engineers. This prompt and efficient ac? tion of the city authorities, and the unhesitat? ing and voluntary co-operation ol the firemen, cannot be too highly commended, and will have the effect of improving the sanitary con? dition of the city more In twenty-four hours than could otherwise have been done in a month. The citizens have a duty In this re? spect, however, that should not be neglected, which is to give information of all the cellars and low lots containing water that they know of, so that the engines may be Bent to those points. This Information should be given to Major Willis at*his office on North Atlantic wharf; but if more con? venient, the same end will be secured by communicating it to the nearest engine house. Another way in which the citizens can co-operate' with the authorities In their efforte to make the city cleaner, ls in the liberal sprinkling about of such deodorizers ~; carbolic acid and ammoniated lime, which can be obtained in any quantity at the gas works in Washington street, at the trifling cost of four cents a pound. Chloride of lime can also be had ire? of charge upon application at'the City Hospital, or at the Guardhouse, and should be freely used, especially on the garbage which is put out on the sidewalks early In the morning, and too often left there by the negli? gent scavengers until its offence is rank and smells to Heaven. There are many other things that need to be 'done, to complete the cleansing of the city, and now that the authorities have manifested such a laudable disposition to do their duty at last in this direction, it is hoped that it will only be necessary to direct their attention to the work that Is required to be done to have it promptly attended to. One of the worst places in the city is in Market street, between Meeting and East Bay. The cellars of the fruiterers stores along this street, all contain more or less wa? ter, floating and rotting in which axe melon rinds, onions, cabbages, turnips, and all sorts of vegetable matter. This condition of affairs was plainly seen yesterday afternoon, when the .Etna, in attempting to pump out one of the cellars in Market street, had her supply pipe repeatedly choked up by the filth that was floating in the water, and prompt measures should be taken to remedy lt. Another precaution that Dr. Lelfty might profitably employ, would be tr?r- distribution by the city carts ci deodorizers along the gutters, which now contain in some places consider? able Sediment that has been pumped up from the cellars by the fire engines, and, with the adoption of these and a few other sanitary measures that will readily suggest themselves, our citizens will be able to walk the streets with lessened inconvenience "to their sight and smell, and snap their fingers at the chance of approaching malaria.

Woodhull, reached her wharf yesterday after a boisterous passage from New York. She brings a crowded freight, even her decks being full, and a fair passenger list. The business of this favorite line opens flatteringly for ihe fall trade, and with a promise of more than the usual large stream of patronage. COLORED CHRISTIANS' CONVENTION.-The second annual convention of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association will assem? ble this afternoon, at halt-past two o'clock, at Wallingford Church, in Meeting street, above Mary. Tue welcome meeting will be held in the evening, at Emanuel's Church, and the farewell meeting on Sunday, at the Baptist Church. A committee will be at the depot on the arrival of each train to receive and assign delegates to their places. The latter are de? sired to wear a ribbon badge ia order that they,may be distinguished by the committee. AN ENCOUNTER WITH THIEVES.-Between ll and 12 o'clock last night, the watchman heard some suspicious noises proceeding from the yard in the rear of Messrs. Ravenel <fc Holmes's store, on East Bay. He sent off for the detec? tives, and on their arrival a party of thieves were surprised while attempting to break into Mr. Abraham's store, on State street. The officers made for them and the depredators took to the sheds, their flight being consider? ably accelerated by two 6hota from the pistols of the officers. The latter followed on the shed, when a part of it gave way and they fell through. No such accident befell the thieves, and nothing more was heard of them. KU-KLUX IN KING STREE.-This little village has had a real sensation at last, in the arrival, capture and escape of a live Ku-Klux, the only genuine one ever seen in that Bection of the country. He was a negro named Levi Eaddy, and was accompanied by a colored comrade, named Adam Coleman, both of whom are notorious scoundrels. They rode into town, without disguise, and fired into a crowd of white and black men standing on the street. Eaddy was captured, and secured with handcuffs and chains, but afterward made his escape, and the citizens express great regret, as they wantecLGovernor Scott to see a live Ku-Klux from Williamsburg, and especially so promising a one as this black rasca!. A LEAF OF NAVAL BISTORT. Unromantic End of the Pioneer War Vessel of South Carolina? The hull of the old lightship Weehawken, which has been condemned on account of leaks, was sold at auction yesterday morning, by Messrs. W. Y. Leitch iE. S. BrunB, to Cap? tain Thomas Young, for S380. This old boat has had a somewhat eventful history, and may be said to have been the pioneer vessel of the Confederate Navy in these waters, she having; been purchased and put In commission by the State of South Carolina In February, 1861, un? der the following circumstances: TheLeglB latnre ot South Carolina, at the session of 1860-01, enacted that the Governor should purchase or procure, at an expense of $150,000, three vessels such as he might deem fit for the service proposed, to form a sea? coast police force to prevent the land? ing ot marauding parties, who, it was sup? posed, might, in the event of hostilities be? tween the two sections, descend upon the coast In vessels of light draft to commit acts of depredation and violence. The defence of the long line of seacoast against an enemy en force was not contemplated, however, as to render such defences effectual would require means beyond the resources of the State. In order to carry out the object of this enact? ment, General A. C. Garlington, the then sec? retary of the interior, appointed a commission composed ol scientific ana practical men in this city, to examine all the vessels in Charles? ton harbor, and also to make Inquiry else? where, and report whether any could be pro? cured which were adapted to the service intended. Their report satisfied him that there were no vessels in this harbor which were suitable in every respect and could be purchased on reasonable terms. It was believed that they might be bought at the North, but after diligent inquiry only one could be found that it was thought expedient to pur? chase-the "James Gray," an iron propeller, built for the navigation of the James River. Lieutenant Dozier was dispatched to Rich? mond, and negotiated the purchase of this steamer, at the price ol $30,000, to be deliver? ed in Charleston. She arrived here on Febru? ary 15th, 1601, and was fitted out under the name of the "Lady Davis," her armament consisting of two twenty-four pound howit? zers. Enlistments of seamen were be? gun, and had reached the number of thirty, when it was thought best to sus? pend any further effort to complete this organization on account of the action of the Provisional Congress, looking to the establish? ment of a navy for the common government. From that time until the year 18C3, the Lady Davis was employed as a police and transport boat about this harbor and along the coast, and in that year she was dismantled and her engines and armament transferred to another gunboat. After 1863 she was lying np in the harbor until the possession of the city by the Federal forces, when she was made a light? ship and stationed over the wreck of the gun? boat Weehawken, near Morris Island, and bas been employed in this service until she was condemned a few weeks ago. She is now to be broken up by her new owners and sold for old iron., Hotel Arrivals?August ?3. PAVILION HOTEL. Jules Kahn, Florence; J. L. Dove, Dove's Depot; Jas. W. Moffett, Steamer Carolina.
