The crop in those counties Is earlier than usual, and we do not believe that the damage can be very great In the upper counties the crop | i has reen damaged by .want .ol rain. Should "the worm appear ir. roll force, we will advise yon promptly. LosoKvrjT. -Greenville will not ba beaten.. 11 That county report?, In the Mountaineer, that Mrs. Stacey Chapman, aged nin?y-s?ven, living la Danklin Township, is a hearty-old laiy, tv ho employs her time at weaving, frequently walks two miles to ' visit her grandson, and will harness a mule and hitch up the buggy and take a drive whenever she thinks It neces? sary.

A FALSE ALARM.'-The report as to tho sink? ing of the Btaunch little river steamer Water Lily proved ?o be untrue. She returned to the city early yesterday morning, and left at one 'o'clock in the day on her usual trip for the islands as far as Beaufort. She left the city as usual, on Tuesday last, and In crossing an in? tricate part ot her route, known as Wadmalaw Sound, got aground on an oyster-shell bank. Being heavily laden with freight lt was lound impossible to get her off, lt being ebb tide and the night dark and stormy. Several lighters were procured from the neighboring shores, and her freight having been taken out the steamer floated off with the rising tide. She then went on as far as Edlsto, where she dis? charged her cargo and returned to the elly. The freight for Beaufort was left at Enterprise, and will be taken on by the steamer on her present trip. THE HEALTH OF CHARLESTON. Action of the Kedfcal Society? At an extra meeting of the Medical Society of South Carolina, held on August 25th, the lol lowing paper was read, and it was ordered that it be published In the daily papers: We, the members ol the Medical Society ot South Corollna, feeling that our interests are inseparably connected with the city of our residence and the home of our selection, tully alive to the advantages of her growth, her general prosperity, and also to her character for honesty, in view of the general circulation of reports as to the prevalence of pestilential disease, and the manner in which such reports have been dealt with by city officiais, the board of health and the press of the city, think it best to offer a plain statement of the facts connected with the present sanitary condition I of the city. In doing so it is not our object to arraign ! the action of the constituted authorities, to step between them and.their official duties, or to.pass judgment upon the course they have thought proper to pursue. We desire simply to express our deliberate and honest convic? tion as to the manner ot meeting the situation in which the community finds itself unfortu? nately placed, and to show by our action that we are alive to the duty we owe to our fellow cltizen8 who are making constant appeals for -Information and advice. Our purpose is to follow Truth wherever she may lead ; to affirm only what can be substantiated; to announce nothing calculated to deceive the most credu? lous; to quiet unnecessary excitement and alarm, but at the same time to put every citi? zen in position to take such steps as he may deem proper to subserve his interest and pro? tect his life. First, then, we announce that yellow fever does prevail to a limited extent in the city. The first case, as far as can be ascertained, occurred as early as ?he 27th o? Joly. Since that time there have-been noted, in all, per? haps as manyas thirty-five cases. Out ot this number nine have proved fatal; but, as in a few instances, uncertainty existed in the minds of the attending physicians as to the true character of the disease, and in a few others, for prudential reasons, the true name was withheld. The mortuary certificates in the possession of the registrar show less than the entire number of deaths. The mortality, however, even with this allowance, is exceed? ingly small, and would seem to indicate a mild form ol the disease. Secondly, we are bappy to state that the large majority of the cases have occurred in one locality. This would seem. In the opinion of some ol us, to furnish the assurance that cir? cumscribed local influence alone have favored the development or extension of the disease, and that its area may continue restricted. Third. The period of time that has elapsed since the report of the first case declares a character of disease not disposed to extend rapidly or widely. Fourth. There are differences ot opinion amongst ourselves as to the probable exten? sion of the disease in an epidemic form. To the panic-stricken, however, we would Bay: Leave the city, if you can, at your earliest convenience, for fright is a strong predisposing cause ol disease. To the large mass of our fellow-citizens, whose interests are Identified with ours and with the city, we would advise a patient walting for further developments, un? less residing in an Infected locality, and in the meantime an avoidance of any excess or un? necessary exposure. Let each and every one, without comment? ing or animadverting upon the action of the powers that be, who in his opinion may have by sins ol omission or commission invited the pestilence, use his best energies to carry out, under proper direction, those sanitary meas? ures of known value in staying the ravages of disease, that In some form or other, under the mysterious workings of an overruling Provi? dence, is at times des tined to visit every com? munity. F. M. ROBERTSON, ii. D.. President. Official : WANNING SIMONS, M. D., Secretary. CRUMBS.-Major John H. Hughes, Of Edge-1 field, died on Friday, aged seventy. Unseemly disturbances In the neighborhood of St. Philip's Church, in Church street, are becoming a nightly occurrence. The residence of Lieutenant-Governor Ban slex was plundered cn Wednesday morning of three coats and"two vests. THE WOUNDED BOT.-The email colored boy, named-Crumb, who was run over on Thursday by one o? the steam engines, ls do? ing as well as could be expected. He was much more seriously injured than at first sup-1 posed, and on examination the Burgeon found the boy's leg broken in two places, and his thigh Tri one. It is probable that he will re? cover. _ : STEALING HARNESS.-Francis Brown was arrested yesterday afternoon by the detectives sharged with stealing a Bet of harnees from Ur. Magwood. Francis had hired a gray mule "rom Mr. Magwood for a day's work, and the hirer missing the harness charged Francis with stealing.it- The latter says the mule never had erny harness on when he hired lt, and denies the theft. He IB held for examination. TARGET EXCURSION.-The Comet Light In? fantry will celebrate their second anniversary on Monday by a target excursion to Scanlan vllle, formerly Remley's Point. The company will be escorted on this occasion by the At? tucks Light Infantry, and have chartered a steamer to take them to the proposed ground on Wando River. The boat will leave Hamlin k Fairchild's wharl at 8 o'clock. BOAT RAGE.-The lovers of this exciting Boort will have another opportunity of wit? nessing a sharp contest between fonr .four oared boats, which will take place this after? noon over the usual course. The distance run will be one mile, the boats starting off the mouth of Wappoo Cut and coming in opposite the Bathing House. The following boats will participate: The Bondel, Petrel, Tub and Fanny. Wind and weather, of course, per milting. FIRE.-A small excitement prevailed yester? day morning in the upper part of King street, caused by the breaking out, at about 10 o'clock, of a fire In a wooden kitchen in the rear of I Mrs. Morton's premises, on the east side of | King street, between John and Ann. The neighbors rallied quickly to the spot, and by their efforts the flames were extinguished, with no other damage than the burning of a few pieces o? clothing and a part ot the weather? boarding o? the kitchen. The origin of the fire was an accident, and the engines were not called out. ACCIDENT.-Last evening, about 7 o'clock, the Rev. Dr. Bermingham, while in the act of | crossing Broad street, at the corner of Friend, was struck by a carriage which was driven rapidly around the corner and knocked pros? trate on the pavement. ' He was quickly taken up, in a senseless condition, by some gentle? men who were near by, and carried to a neigh? boring house, where every attention was afforded him. In a lew moments be recover? ed, and at last accounts was doing well, hav? ing received no serious injuries beyond a few bruises. ROUTING THE PIG-PENS.-The strict measures which are being taken to carry out the sani? tary ordinances ol the city resulted yesterday in the bringing to light several nuisances in the shape of hog-pens, which the infatuated owners were keeping up in defiance of all cleanliness and law. C. Jacobia, white, resid? ing at No. 107 Spring street, was found to have a thriving collection of nine hogs on his pre? mises, which were kept in the UBual style. Next door to this lot lived Isaac Morgan, col? ored, who also owned up to the possession of a fine pair of the filthy animals. On the pre? mises o? B. Mitchell, In President street, two porcine pets were discovered enjoying their otium cum dignilate in the back lot. The own? ers were severally reported, and the cases hav? ing been brought up for examination beiore the Mayor yesterday morning, they were fined one dollar for each animal, and their prompt removal ordered. MARINE DISASTERS. Total Wreck of the Schooner William B. Mann-A Spanish Bark Dis? mantled-A Light Ship Capsized. Accounts continue to be received of the damage to shipping along the Georgia and Florida coasts by the recent gale. The schooner William B. Mann, Irom Jack? sonville to Philadelphia, loaded with lumber, encountered the gale on the 19th Instant at Frying Pan Shoals, and was wrecked and foundered, the officers and crew being fortu? nately saved by the steamship San Salvador. From Saturday, the 19th, until Monday morn? ing, the fated vessel was at the mercy of the el? ements, the sea breaking over her, sweeping the decks, carrying away both masts, and ca? reening her over to the starboard Bide, while the crew took to the main rigging. The vessel then righting, it was found that the poop deck, cabin and a midship house, and all the stores and water were gor:*:. The unfortunate company lay on the wreck until Tuesday after? noon, with nothing to eat and with only such water to drink as they could catch in their hats, when they were seen by the steamer San Salvador, rescued from their dreadful po? sition, and brought te Savannah. The schooner doubtless foundered soon after her abandon? ment. She was of 226 tons burden and cost $16,000. Her cargo consisted of 135,000 feet of lumber, consigned to R. H. Deming, of Phila? delphia, and valued at $4000. AK UNKNOWN BARK DISABLED. On the 22d Instant Captain Falrclotn, oi the steamship Montgomery, sighted a Spanish bark, in lat. 32.53, long. 78.20, with signals of distress flying. Her mainmast with every? thing attached was gone by the deck; her mizzen topmast and spanker also gone; her fore-topmast gone by the cap, with the fore yard and top; her Jibboon was broken off, and she was apparently In ballast. She wished to be towed Into a harbor, and Captain Fair cloth succeeded In getting a hawBer from her, and towed her. into Tybee bar, where the haw? ser broke, and she was left to Ball Into the harbor. Her name was not ascertained. TTBEE LIGHTHOUSE BOAT. Last Thursday night the Tybee lighthouse boat, containing Mr. Egan, the keeper of the lighthouse, and his two eons, while going from Cockspur Island to the Osyter Bed light, was capsized, and Thomas Egan, assistant keeper, and oldest son of Mr. Egan, was drowned. Mr. Egan and the other son were picked np Thursday morning, the former be? ing slightly Injured in the breast. THE TRIAL JUSTICE WAR.-James Nash, a sailor, was arrested a few days ago for deser? tion from the schooner Edie Walters*, and after an examination before Trial Justice Levy, where he admitted that he was an articled seamail and had deserted, he was turned over to the captain of the schooner. Before this was done, however, Nash took out a war? rant before Trial Justice Brennan, charging the captain with attempting to draw a revolver on him prior to bis arrest, and attempting to shoot bim, which he was prevented from doing by the other officers. The captain was held to bail in the sum ol $1000 to keep the peace. In addition to this, a writ of Tiabeas corpus baa been sued out by the friends of Nash, who claims to be a British subject, and the case will be Investigated befo* i Trial Justices Magrath and Brennan this morning. The ob? ject of the Investigation is to And out if Nash bas regularly signed his articles, and whether he should be delivered up to the captain of the schooner/Trial Justice Levy, before whom the case has been alreaby examined, thinks this has been already decided, and disputes the jurisdiction of the lipar nobile." The matter created considerable excitement yes? terday alternoon-a lively discussion followed among the detectives and trial justices. PUMPING OCT.-Under the energetic super? intendence of Major E. Willis, this precaution? ary measure ls rapidly progressing, and but little now remains to be done. The cellars generally are clear of water, and the only ugly looking places which will need attention are Marsh street, the lower part of Laurens street, and Cromwell's court, running back of th? jail to Smith street. Three engines were yester? day at work on the old gas well, which con? tains an Immense amount of water over twen? ty-six feet deep. This has been reduced over four feet, and it will be necessary to carry it much lower. The most extensive job yetis the pumping out of the South Carolina Freight Depot in Mary street Three engines had this in charge yesterday, and lt will be thoroughly finished to-day. The firemen have been work? ing against this new element with a will, and lu the contest evince all the ardor they are ac? customed to display against their old enemy. Their behavior deserves the commendation of every one who has the interest of our old city at heart. COLORED YOUNO MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA? TION CONVENTION.-The Becond annual Con? vention of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association assembled on Thursday afternoon, at Wallingford Church, on Meeting street,abo ve Mary. Delegations were present from George? town, Sumter, Columbia, and other parts of the State.

It will be particularly noticed that it ls a matter of impossibility for any one to knew what num? bers draw gifts, as it is not known what the gift of any number drawn from the first wheel will be until the sealed box, with amount of the gift plainly printed, ls taken from the other wheel and open? ed In foll view of the audience, therefore the larger gifts may not come oat until towards the last, or in the middle of the drawing. The $100,000 girt in the ?fan Francisco Gift Concert, under the manage? ment of 0. R. PETERS, was the 200th number drawn, and was awarded and paid to a gentleman in New Orleans. 721 Gifts is all that can be drawn m one day. The Numbers and Gifts are drawn by blind children from 8 to 14 years of age. The Drawing will be extensively published, and parties ordering Tickets will have printed lists sent them. Parties forming Globs and desiring information will please address this office. 49- ll TICKETS FOR $100; 28 TICKETS, $255; ?6 TICKETS, $530; 113 TICKETS, $1000.-?
