PERSONAL.-General Scott left his home In Ohio, on Tuesday, and 1B on his way to Co? lumbia. General Wagener, Mayor elect of Charles? ton, is in Columbia. Mr. Myron Fox, of the Charleston Republi? can, arrived at the Columbia Hotel, Columbia, on Wednesday. ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJECT.-The Phoenix learns that the Citizens' Savings Bank has sold the stock held by that Institution in the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. It was a large lot, .amounting to nearly 1200 shares. Rumor has lt that, with this purchase, the Pennsylvania Central hold possession of nearly 10,000 shares-almost a controlling In? terest in the company. .OUR PRICES CURRENT.-We especially invite the attention of our merchants to THE NEWS ?Prices Current, issued this morning. Made up with the utmost care, and handsomely printed with entirely new type, it forms, with the busine:_> card of the house forwarding lt, the most attractive and welcome weekly commer? cial circular that can be used. Price, for ten copies or more, with business cards, two and a hall cents per copy; single copies five cents. AN ANCIENT 8EAL.-We were yesterday shown a relic of the past, of which some CbarleBtonlan may be able to iurnish the origin and ase. It consists ol a round silver seal or Btamp, bearing the motto, "Relpublicae Australis Carolinas Tutela" around the edge, and enclosing the Image of Justice, with the sword and scale?; also a ploughman and a ship, representing agriculture and commerce. The seal belongs now to Hr. T. Waring Mikel), to whom lt was bequeathed by an aunt. It seems to have been once the stamp of some society, and any information la regard to lt will be received with thanks by the owner. < -? THE RUSTIC AND THE SHARPERS_On Wed? nesday evening a colored maa from the coun? try came to the city, and having incautiously displayed a roll of money which he had jost received for some produce sold, he was Im? mediately fastened o?oa by two youths, named Thomas Parker and William Thomas. They soon became very intimate with their rustic acquaintance, and after a merry evening, the latter, on the departure of his new friends, found that bis pockets had been relieved of all the money. His complaint to a policeman was followed by toe speedy arrest of the two youths, who were duly locked up in the Guard? house. Alter an examination before the Mayor, they were referred io a trial Justice for prosecution. - ? ? - A CONFISCATED PIG.-At a late hour on Wednesday night a romantic young porker was discovered la Rutledge avenue taking a walk "a? fresco* down that fashionable thor oughiare. His gutteral expressions of loter nal satisfaction attracted the notice of a nodding policeman, who immediately gave ch ase. The pig did his best, but the issue of a race between a fat hog and a leao pol ?cern an ls by no means doubt ful, and the granter was soon captured. The swinish prisoner was locked up, and brought bet?re the Mayor yes? terday morning. The case was a grave one. Pigs In a pen, within the limits of the city, were unsparingly fined, but what was to be done with a pig who thus brayed the city au? thorities and Intruded upon the surreptitious nap of a leaden-eyed policeman ? After due consideration the prisoner was declared to be forfeited. The sentence is heavy, but the prisoner awaits Its execution with epicurean reeigaation. To whom he ls forfeited, and by whom is he to be eaten, ls still a matter of doubt. Bat lt is probable that the Almshouse will be the recipient of his bloody carcass. CLUBS AND STARS.-Celia Robinson, lodged on the charge of stealing the silver service of * St. Lake's Church, was held for farther exami? nation. Wm. Steel and Elita Maxwell, arrested for disorderly conduct and raising a disturbance at the corner of State and Chalmers streets, were examined before the Mayor. William was discharged,and Eliza was "..tined over to a trial justice for prosecution. James M. Pant, arrested for creating a dis? turbance and beating bte wife io a house on East Bay, was discharged alter an examina? tion. An unfortunate individual, who WM abet la | the neck with benzine, quietly located himself |0t recumbent position on. the sidewalk ot East Bay, and was lakes thence by a police? man to the Guardhouse. Oft bettie; brought * before the Mayor, he excused ?ilm*aif by say big that he was Inspecting th? sanitary con? dition of the street. His plea was not deemed valid, and he was sentenced io pay a one of five dollar?, or spend five days in the House of Correction. THE TRIAL JUSTICES IN A QUANDARY.-In the dearth of business which at present pre? vails among this fraternity the loll o wing point of law was raised, and excited some argu? ment, yesterday morning. Louis Walker, colored, was committed to Jail, lo delaolt of bail, a few weeks since, by Trial Justice Mackey, on the charge of garotting and robbing another yoong robber of $7 35. Yesterday his friends procured sufficient sureties, and apon their signing the boad the committing trial Juative lamed an order upon the Jailor to re? lease the prisoner. This order the latter offi? cial refused to obey, under authority of an or? der issued some months back by Judge Gro? baa, In chambers, to the effect thal a prisoner j once committed by a trial justice, for any offence greater than a breach ol the peace, could not be released upon bis giving bail to the trial Justice alter his commitment, ?nd that the only way in which he could be bailed wai to bring him out by a habeas corpus. This order has now the effect to enforce additional expense upon the State by allowing the trial justices to make two bites at the cherry, by always committing the prisoner in the first la stance and then having a habeas corpus to bail fm In this way the accounts of a trial Jos? ee could be easily doubled. Under the old magistrates things were different, and lt is hard to see why a trial justice, having commit? ted a prisoner for a larceny, cannot order his release upon his giving bonds with good se? curity. NEWS ABOUT THE FEVER. The Disease T altin g no Headway-A More Cheerful Community-The Mayor and Major Willi?-An Ugly Business-The Work of the Wards Food for Pestilence-The Fever Re? ported at Beaufort- Good Disinfect? ants, dir. The city waa a shade more cheerlul yester? day. Excitement, which had been at a fever heat for several days, was subsiding, and the public mind is evidently settling down to the conclusion that lt is useless to cry out before the body-politic is hurt. This sensible feeling will be encouraged by the official reports, which show the slow progress of the fever. It now appears that up to Saturday last, the 26th instant, there were nine deaths from yellow lever. Three ot the nine took place between August 1 and August 19, and the re? maining six in the following week. For the current week the mortality will be greater; but it is officially stated that there were only thirty-three new cases ol fever In the week end? ing on Wednesday night last. This is a very cheering exhibit, as the proportion of deaths to the entire number of patients ls steadily de? creasing. On yesterday, the busy tongue of rumor could conjure up only two new cases, -and only two deaths occurred, to our knowl? edge, during the day. We should be glad if the Board of Health would make arrangements to lurnish to the prees, every evening, an official report of the number of deaths during the preceding twen? ty-four hours. This was done regularly In other yellow fever seasons, and we presume that it can be done now. The public desire lt, because they repose no iaithjn any unofficial statement, and they are urgent in their re? quest to be supplied every morning, through the columns ol their favorite journal, with the latest official news concerning the common enemy. The publication ol daily reports would allay alarm by snowing in plain figures the course ol the disease. Nothing, then, would be left to the Imagination. These re? ports, moreover, would give a quletns to the wild rumors about the condition of Charles? ton, which, in the absence of official Intelli? gence, are greedily swallowed in the interior of the State. The City Inspector's Office-Misunder? standing Among the Heads- Kajar Willi? Opposed and Politic? Inter, vening. Pursuant to his appointment by the Mayor on the preceding evening, as executive officer of the Board of Health, Major E. Willis went down yesterday morning to the office of the absent city Inspector, to enter upon the duties which he had voluntarily undertaken. A large number of laborers, who had been notified, were on band, and everything seemed to promise that the work of cleansing the city would soon be under way. Upon looking at the books of the Inspector, which were shown him by Mr. Dorri!, the major lound a number of carts engaged which he deemed unnecessary, and immediately ad? vised their discharge. Hr. Jenk's right-hand man, J. L. Howard, here came in, and upon hearing the above, Intimated that the major was overstepping his authority, and infringing upon the duties ol the street inspector; at the same time producing a letter from the Mayor, which corroborated this view. This unlooked for opposition from Jenks's assistant created some exciting talk; but Major Willis, declining any controversy oa the subject with the Burly assistant, referred the matter to the Mayor. Both parties then adjourned to the Mayor's office, where another Blcbmond proved to be In the field in the person of the redoubtable Alderman-Doctor, M. H. Collins; and a refer? ence was held in his presence, and that of Dr. B, Lebby, the city registrar. Major Willis here tdd the Mayor that he did not want anybody's place; that his only motive ia offering his services was the welfare of the public, and that if the Mayor wanted him to serve he must deflae blB position. The con fereace ended, however, without such a defi? nition from the Mayor, and in the evening Major 'Villis addressed a written communica? tion, requesting a written answer In regard to this matter. After this unexpected denouement, Major Wilds, ol course, took no further action uatil his duties should be defined by the Mayor, and he should be placed in a position to , defend his authority. In accepting the rather Indefinite appointment by the Mayor, Major Willis did not understand that he was to take Jenk's office, but was led to believe that his duties would include those of the inspector's office, in addition to assisting the health' officer, and carrying out the views of the Mayor. In short, that lt was his Impression that he was to be the executive officer ol the health department, and have chief control ia ail sanitary measures. With these views be entered the office ot the city Inspector, and upon being opposed la his measures, relerred the matter to the Mayor. The latter function? ary not only declined then to define the posi? tion to which he had appointed Major Willis, but refused to sustain bim after promising his support on the previous evening. The Mayor was interviewed last evening by our reporter, and the following card will ex? plain the trae reason of the opposition to Major Willis : CHARLESTON, S. C., August 31. To correct a false Impression that has found its way both into the papers and upon the streets, I make this public statement, that I have never been requested by any man or del? egation to appoint Major E. Willis street in? spector. He has neither asked the appoint? ment hlQseli, nor do I believe he has had the least expectation or lt. Certainly no such ap? pointment has been made by me. I have, how? ever, accepted the voluntary offer of Alderman M. H. Collins to discharge the duties of city Inspector daring the absence of the Inspector, Captain J. H. Jenks. Major Willis has also kindly offered to co-operate with him In carry? ing out any sanitary measures which may be necessary. G. PILLSBURY, Mayor. In conversation the Mayor further stated that the matter had been adjusted at the con? ference to the satisfaction of all concerned; that Major Willis had concurred ia the ap? pointment of Mr. Collins, and Bald that he (Major Willis) and the doctor "would work together like two little mules." The Mayor says that Inspector Jenks would probably be back In the city by Saturday. The reports of the assistant commissioners of the board of health show the city to be In no condition to allow any valuable time to be wasted on these triflings. A vast deal of work has to be done yet before the city can be called clean. Eight hundred and fifty offensive lots have been reported to the board of health, and the scavengers all say that the city was never in BO filthy a condition. The nuisances are located mostly in Rottenboro', and many in the streets around the Jail. A aeport was curreut yesterday en the street that no destitute person would be received in? to the City Hospital without a certificate from the Mayor, registrar or one of the city physl. Cian8. Dr. Lebby, the chiel health officer, states that this is not so; and that as long as a bed in the hospital was left unoccupied, the patients recommended by the Howard Associ? ation would be received, and that when neces? sary a comfortable ambulance would be sent for them. Overhauling Ward 4. A meeting of the sub -comm lt i ee of the fourth division of Ward 4 was held yesterday morn? ing, at the office ot the chairman, Mr. Frede? rick Richards. The division was again divid? ed, and two members of the sub-committee were assigned to each section. These com? mittees went to work yesterday inspecting the premises in their sections, and the whole ward will soon be thoroughly overhauled. Ward No. 5. This ward is organized, lor the preservation of its health, under the following committee, which is actively engaged, and we under? stand meet daily at Arnold's Hall, Meeting street, at 9 o'clock A. M. : S. Y. Tupper, chair? man; P.. Arnold, L. A. Frampton, John H. Honour, W. S. Fraser, C. L. Simons, Edward G. Holmes, Joseph D. Aiken, E. Cudworth, Arthur Johnson, P. Brady, Dr. J. Schwacke, N. Luden, 0. 8. Mlscally. The offal Pile?. Since the pestiferous work of the chlffoneirs upon the heaps of filth deposited by the city scavengers' carte, near Potter's Field, was brought to notice, a policeman bas been sta? tioned near the deposits to prevent their re? moval. The piles of offal near the butchers' pens, in Line street, are also watched, and yesterday morning Wm. Gass and J. Johnson were reported for removing the filth and ob? structing Line street willi it. The cases will be examined this morning: Food for Disease. Two instances of flagrant neglect have been reported to THE NEWS. A quantity of decaying vegetables and s'orimp heads were put out in front ol the house one door south of Panknln's drug store, on Meeting street, belore seven o'clock on Wed? nesday morning. It was not removed, and yesterday morning more garbage was added to the pile. At ten o'clock yesterday the dis? gusting mass was still reeking in the sun. At two o'clock yesterday the garbage brought out from three bouses in Orange street, in the morning, was still lying by the gutter. Howard Association. At a meeting of the Howard Association, held yesterday morning, the reports from the various committees were received, and proved much more favorable than the flying rumors allowed any one to expect. Only two new caseB ol yellow fever were reported, in the en? tire city, since the preceding day. Standard Disinfectants. Mr. C. F. Panknln bas prepared a quantity of the disinfecting fluid-sesqul-chlorlde of Iron with carbolic acid-which is highly commend, ed by Dr. Moreau Morris, of New York, and was the result of a thorough scientific experi? mentation by the officers of the Metropolitan Board of Health. All night scavengers In New York are compelled to use it, os the effects are compound. The iron checks fermentation, and the chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent Its carbolic acid also aids in arresting decom? position and fermentation, and the whole com? bination, thereiore, by its chemical action, de? composes the sulphuretted hydrogen. The price of the preparation, as advertised, ls fifty cents a bottle. Mr. G. J. Luhn invites attention to the new disinfectant- bromo-chloraluin - for which he is the wholesale agent. It ls non-poisonous, a;.d is highly recommended as a specific in all contagious and pestilential diseases, such as cholera, typhoid fever, ship fever, smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, diseases of animals, ?c. The preparation may be used in the or? dinary way in stables, cesspools, houses or sick rooms, and may be taken as a gargle in cases cf diptheria and the like. The bromo chloralum 1B sold by all druggists. Reports of Fever In Beaufort. The Savannah Republican says: We were Informed by a gentleman yester? day that he bad Been a letter, lrom a reliable source, which stated that the yellow fever had reached Beaufort, 8. C., having been brought therefrom the phosphate works, where seven or eight cases had prevailed. The cases In Beaulort proved latal. It would be well for the city authorities to look to the quarantine of the numerous boat loads ol negroes who ar? rive in the city from that place almost dally, and to place such restrictions upon their land* lng as in their wisdom they may deem neces? sary for the safety ol' our city. Gentlemen who left Beaufort as late as Sat? urday last say that they heard nothing there to confirm this report; but, on the other hand, we know that one of our large wholesale drug? gists yesterday received a large and pressing order lor disinfectants lrom Beaufort, which looks fishy, to say the least. ST. PETER'S (CATHOLIC) SCHOOL.-The re? opening of this school, which was to have taken place next Monday, ls postponed to Oc? tober. Notice will be given In time of the re? opening of the school. NEW INTERNAL REVENDE GAUGER.-Mr. J. A. Alpers, the efficient and obliging secretary of the German Schulzen Club, bas been ap? pointed an Internal revenue gauger, and has his office at No. 48 Broad street. Wholesale liquor dealers who have any packages of liquors to be stamped In compliance with the Internal revenue laws, will please make appli? cation to him after 3 o'clock P. M. each day. THE FUNERAL of the late A. B. Jarvis took place yesterday morning, and was very numer? ously attended. Orange Lodge, A. F. M., the Knights ol Pythias, the Board of Trade and the Fire Department, were all fully represent? ed. After the funeral services at Grace Church, the remains were escorted to Magnolia, where they were interred, the Knights of Pythias performing the last sad rites, according to the custom of their organization. CASE OF DISTRESS FOR REST.-Rachel How? ard, a ponderous black woman, was yesterday arraigned before Trial Justice T. J. Mackey, charged by Elizabeth McNeal with seizing upon her goods and chattels, and refusing to deliver up the same. Rachel hires a house In Inspection street, and had rented a room to the prosecutrlx. The latter bad not paid up lier rent promptly, and three dollars being now due for the same, Rachel had entered her tenant's apartment and distrained upon all of her furniture not excepting the bed upon which the prosecutrlx lay sick. Distress of rent having been abolished, Rachel was made so feel the force of the maxim 'Hgnorantia legis neminem excus?t,* and was sentenced to pay a fine ol' ll and costs. Without waiting for the alternative sentence, she paid up in lull, and left the court In high dudgeon at tbe unsufficlency of the law to afford her redress. FLORIDA LONG COTTON.-The following late information from the long cotton district of Florida has been furnished us by a lactorage house of this city : MILLWOOD, MARION CO., August 18. There has been a terrille gale blowing here for the last fifty hours, wind northeast, but has changed to southwest and Somewhat abated. I lear a great deal of Injury has been done to the cotton crop. MICANOPV, A LA cu CA Co., August 26. On the 19th Instant, there set in one of the most terrific gales from the northeast, that lasted for two days-blowing the cotton down, a nd even the bolls and blooms off the stalk, and doing Immense damage to the crops. To? day there ls a storm raging through this coun? ty, with not mucli less lury than the one of a week ago. It prevails lrom the same direc? tion. Immense quantities of rain fell during the first storm, and more if possible during tUls. It would be difficult to estimate the damage done to the crops; but I assure you lt is immense, and the crops here will be very short. GAINESVILLE. ALACHUA CO., August 18. A violent wind una rain storm prevails here, which has raged lor twenty-four hours; bas caused serious damage to cotton and corn crop?. The damage to cotton is generally es? timated at one-third. Trees ana fences are prostrate to an extent never before witnessed. My own crop, near town, ls injured fully one third. BOWEN'S ASPIRATIONS.-A Washington dis? patch to the New York Herald says : "Ex-Con? gressman Bowen, ol South Carolina, in a let? ter addressed to a friend In this city, states that since hts return to Charleston he has been assured ol the unwavering and unfaltering friendship ot his old constituents, and that he is confident that the past will be iorgolten and his claimB to the suffrage of his lellow-cltlzens be as readily acknowledged In the luture as in the past. He ls mentioned as the next Repub? lican candidate for Governor of that State-a compromise between himself and Congress? man DeLarge, whose seat he intended to con? test on the meeting of Congress." DRAINE m TROUBLE.-Henry Draine, a well known colored maD, who has run Ihe gauntlet of more trial Justice suits and criminal prose? cutions than any person of his age In town, got into trouble again yesterday afternoon. First he quarrelled and had a fight with An? drew Turner, on South Bay, which was hardly over before he became entangled in another squabble around the corner, in King street, with another colored antagonist, named Richard Beckett. In the last fight the two an? tagonists were arrested by the police, and taken to the Guardhouse. At the door of the popular institution, Draine was claimed by a constable on a warrant from Trial Justice T. J. Mackey, for an assault and battery upon Andrew Turner. Draine was de? livered up and taken before the trial justice for examination. Surrounded by his enemies, in the course ol lils examination Draine remarked that "he did not expect Jus? tice, but that he was prosecuted in this way on account of his political principles." For thle speech he was committed to jail lor con? tempt of court until this morning, when his examination wiil be resumed. On his way thither he WBB accompanied by about forty negroes, hooting at and insulting him. Draine, as ls well known, ls uniortunate in being talkative, and not knowing when to hold his tongue. Owing to this falling he Is always surrounded by a crowd who walt to Bee the row. In the cases of assault and bat? tery, however, he is olten more sinned against than sinning; and more especially Is this the case since hi* political conversion at the recent election has made him an object of envy and hatred to bis former Radical asso? ciates.
