PANY.-Dispatches were sent North yesterday ^rrom the office of this company, at the corner of Broad street and E>ist Bay. In a day or so the office will be formally opened for the transaction of business.

Every merchant antVhusiness man should have his card printed on his envelopes. A NEW FACE.-The store occupied by Mr. T. Kelly, In the bend of King street, ls receiv? ing a new coat of paint on the street front, preparatory to the fall business. The build? ing is aa ornate one, and with Its new dress makes a striking appearance among trie hand? some fronts which are being erected In this favorite locality. ASSAULT.-Henry Draine was arraigned be? fore Trial Justice T. J. Mackey yesterday morning, on the charge of assault and battery on the person of one Andrew Turner. He was found guilty and sentenced to a fine of $5 or twenty days In jail. Henry demurred to the decision, however, and demanded a jury, which was granted. But on advice of his counsel he concluded to pay the fine. JJ^THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.-The annual meeting of the county commissioners, which i.as been so long and anxiously anticipated by those who had "ilttle bills" to be audited, and which was to have taken place yesterday, proved a failure, a quorum not bein z present. The law requires a full board, and the ab? sence of Commissioner McLaughlin rendered this Impossible. The auditing ot the bills was the principal duty to be performed, and the failure to have a meeting will be a damaging blow to the interests of the trial Justices, who Lave not bad a chance at the county checks tor some time. LET Doos DELIGHT Ac-Mrs. Myers and Mary Percy were reported yesterday morning to the Mayor, the former for allowing her dog to run at large and bite B. Tigb, In Nassau street, and the latter for allowit.z her dogs a \ similar liberty in biting F. Dunning, In Line street. The bite In each instance did not prove to be anything serious, and the parties were discharged, the police in the neighbor? hood having received strict orders to keep an eye on the offending animals, and to dispatch them should they be again allowed to run at ] large on the street. NEW EXCUSE FOR AN ASSAULT.-Patrick White was brought before Trial Justice Magrath yesterday morning, charged with an assault and battery upon a girl named Alice Darlington. On the trial, the prosecutrix showed the marks of violence upon ber per? son, and the defendant admitted that be had streck ber, but excused himself by saying she was out o? ber head and crazy,and therefore it made no difference. He was soon convinced ^fF\m error by the trial Justice, who found bim gently, and sentenced him to pay a fine of one dollar and costs, o: go to Jail for five days. A JOLLY TAR.-About half-past 3 o'clock yes-1 terday morning, a hair-brained sailor, P. J. Cherry by name, became disgusted with the deathly silence whien pervaded the eily, and tried to raise an excitement by giving vent to a series of whoops and yells which would have done credit to a Comanche brave. These startling demonstrations as they fell upon the tympanum ol a drowsy policeman, suggested a raid of the Ku-Klux at least, but upon seeing the originator upon Vendue Bange executing a fantastic pas sud In time with his unearthly music, the man in blue took courage and suc? ceeded in capturing the eccentric Tar. He was duly brought before the Mayor, but upon showing the harmless nature of his amuse? ment fae was discharged with the advice to be less noisy In bis demonstrations. SULLIVAN'S ISLAND REGATTA.-The monthly contest ol the Sullivan's Island Regatta Club j will come off this afternoon on the waters near the leland. The boats will leave the wharf at i o'clock on the usual course to and around Fort Ripley and back, the prizes being, for j the first, the champion /lag, and for the se? cond, a silver goblet. If the weither prove as pleasant aa it promises a lively time may be expected. For the accommodation ol those j In the elly who desire to witness the race the Mount Pleasant ferry boat will leave Market wharf at 3 o'clock, and arrive at the Island In time to witness the start. The boat will return at half-past five, charging hali fare for the, trip. The following boats have been entered for the race: The Lula, Fleet wi ng. Kalle, Lillie, Arrow, Alice, and two or three city boats. Colonel R. S. Duryea, Dr. C. C. Patiick and Messrs. Henry O'Neill and Robert Toohey will act as Judges. ' _ CLUBS AND Sr ABS.-Henry Draine and Rich? ard Beckett, arrested for disorderly conduct Ad fighting In the lower part ol King street, were remanded for trial this morning. Alex. Rutledge, a colored boy, found tres? passing upon the premises of Dr. Davega, in Society street, under suspicious circumstances, was arrested and held lor lurther examina? tion. John Mitchel], lodged for being drunk and ralsltjtg a disturbance on King street, was sen? tenced to pay a fine or five dollars or go to the House ol Correction tor ten days. Two fine-looking dogs, a pointer and a New? foundland, found astray on Rutledge street, were taken to the upper Guardhouse and or? dered to be advertised. An unfortunate Bacchanalian, who lost his way io Chalmers street and sat down to rest, was taken before the Mayor, and discharged on the plea ol the first offence. How THE TRIAL JUSTICES WORK IT.-Peter Hanson, the? sailor ot the steamer Alanlhus, who was committed by Trial Justice Magrath for mutiny and assaulting the captain of his vessel, was brought up yesterday on a habeas corpus before Trial Justices Caulfield and T. J. Mackey for examination. The Jailor in this in? stance, on the authority of the order of Jadge Graham, refused to allow the prisoner to be brought before the committing trial justice, and would obey no requisition but tbat of a habeas corpus. After an examination, the prisoner was again committed, subject to the order of Trial Justice Magrath. The working of this order is admirably adapted to relieve the present dearth of business among the justices. One case affords employment for Ujftee ot the fraternity, where before but one was necessary. All three are paid by the Etate, and an assault and battery becomes an expensive affair. If this thing goes on, the Bwoilen trial Jr.stlce accounts of last season will bs trebled this year. How do the taxpay? ers like the prospect ? THE ABATEMENT OF THE FEVER. A Highly Favorable Account-The Offi? cial Record of Deaths from the Begin? ning-The Mayor ?nd the Inspector? ship-Radical Red Tape-The Work of Purification-What the Jobbers Say, die, tve Sic. Our people felt decidedly better yesterday. The cool change, perhaps, braced everybody's nerves. Certainly its effect seemed to be to check, in marked degree, the progress of the fever. Our reporters were unable to learn o? a single new case, and there was but one death-a lady, who has been sick for many days. lu response to inquiries for an official exhibit of the whole number of deaths from the fever since its first appearance in the lat? ter part of July, we are enabled to present the following: The City Registrar's Statement. OFFICE BOARD OF HEALTH. ) CHARLESTON, S. C., September 1,1871. j TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEWS. To compiy with the general dec i re express? ed, and for correct information to the public, based entirely upon all certificates ol deaths registered in this office from the 25th of July to the 1st ol September, inclusive, I beg leave, with the concurrence of the board of health, t ? send you a list of deaths lrom yellow fever to the 1st instant, inclusive. On the 25th of July there was one case of icterus or jaundice; Au? gust 3d, one of typhoid fever was certified to. The physician's certificate of death is the only correct information to guide this office, and upon the certificate the cause of death is regis? tered. To satisfy the public mind, 1 will prepare a report from certificates received up to 12 o'clock M. daily in future. Very respectlully, Your obedient servant, ROBERT LEBBT, M. D., City Registrar.

It will be seen from the above table that the whole number o? deaths from yellow lever since July 25 has been twenty-seven. Of these two were colored persons. The rest were whites. The Mayor and Major Willis. The misunderstanding which occurred on Thursday, arising from the conflict between the claims of the city Inspector and the duties which, as executive officer of the board of health, Major Willis understood he was autho? rized to perform, remained yesterday in a state of abeyance. The written instructions defining his position and power, which Major Willis had requested of the Mayor, were slow in coming, and with ble hands thus practically tied the major could do nothing bul wait. The impor? tan', document, it seems, was an affair requir? ing great deliberation, and the Mayor. Alder? man Collins and Mr. Thomas Jefferson Mackey put their wise beads together lu preparing it at the Mayor's office. Late in the after? noon Major Willis received the missive of the triumvirate, signed by the Mayor. It was copious in its thanks to the major for his past services In cleaning the cellars and low places In the elly of waler, and authorized him to continue pumping, and to inspect the pre? mises that might be reported. Whatever nulsa?- es be found, it authorized him to re? port to the city inspector and registrar, who would take steps to abate the same, and the co-operation of the authorities in the preserva tion o? the work was promised. While the document purported to give him some power, lt was BO full of limitations and restrictions, that it was hard to make out what was really Intended. Major Willis did not have time last night to respond to this complimentary epls< tie, but will do BO to-day. A few cellars in which the water was springing were pumped out by the engines, and beyond this nothing more was done. On the other band, the Mayor on Thursday afternoon wrote to Alderman Collins accept? ing his offer to act gratuitously as city lnspec tor In the place ot Jenke, and authorizing him to enter at once upon the duties of the office. The new Inspector ls too well known to need an introduction to our readers, and yesterday he took charge of the duties of bis office. The carts were at ocn.e set to work to aid the scav? engers in removing the extra rubbish. By order of the registrar, the inspector also tele? graphed to New York for twelve thousand pounds ot chloride of lime, which will be ship? ped to-day, the present supply being reported as almost exhausted. Orders have also been issued to the assistants to compel the iaithlul discharge of their duties by the scavengers. Oar Merchants and the Fever. A prominent jobbing merchant of our city writes to THE NEWS as follows : The maimer in which country newspapers are attempting to divert trade from Charleston is, to say the least of lt, contemptible. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel tells us that several Charleston merchants expect to do business lhere during the fall. The Columbia Phoenix says several of our merchants are making arrangements to go there. A religious paper, published In Atlanta, Ga., stated a short time since that no less than seven of our busi? ness houses were coming to that town. There is not a particle of truth in these statements. There are central points in the interior where some of our merchants might send samples of their stocks, but none ol our jobbers would think of going either le Augusta or Columbia with eveu samples. One of our jobbing houses proposes to try the experiment of opening a urauch of meir business at Atlanta, Ga. No more nor co less. Our Jobbers never had better stocks than they have now, and, no;withstanding the ex? aggerated rumors in the country aoout the prevalence of fever during the last month, the trade during the month was much larger than the corresponding month last year. In fact, we know that Borne of our Jobbing houses' sales were double tho6e of same mooth last year. There are here merchants from the in? terior every day making their purchases. It ls a fact well known to our oldest merchants, that never has there been aa instance of a country merchant who came to Charleston to purchase goods, remaining one day or two days, that caught fever. But our object ls not to induce merchants to come to Charleston against their judgment; it is to correct the eironeous s lon es that are being circulated by interested parties to divert trade from our market. Country clerks who run at the mere whisper ot fever, and itinerant peddlers who carry their stocks on their backs, are not Charleston merchants. Our merchants are here, ready to wait upon their customers, or supply them by order. Howard Association. The regular meeting of the association was ueld yesterday at 12 M., at Market Hall. Sev? eral new members were added to the roll of the association, and Mr. Wilmot G. DeSaus sure was elected second vice-president, vice r P. J. Barbot resigned. The report ot the va? rious ward committees were made, and show that but three applications, two in Ward 4 and one in Ward 1, for assistance had been made to the board during the preceding twenty-four hours. The society desires that all gentlemen who wish to aid in this work would come forward and join at once. A Good Hep n t from Ward 1. The committee of the board of health, for Ward No. 1, have made a thorough examina? tion of their ward, and have found compara? tively few lots, cellars, Ac, requiring atten? tion, the ward being in a very clean condition. They could learn of but one case of yellow fever in the ward; indeed the general health of the ward is excellent, there being but little sickness ol any description. A Loag-Standing Nuisance. The condition of Pitt street, between Mon? tague and Wentworth, is such as to invite the presence of fever, cholera, or any other disease. For months past, a number of wash? erwomen have been In the habit of emptying their refuse water into gullies in their yards, through which it flows in streams to the street. The middle of the street is lower than the sides, and the water there collects In pools, which grow putrid under the rays of the sun, and send forth a pestiferous stench, which pervades the atmosphere far and near. The gutters have repeatedly been cleaned by the efforts of one of the residents of this street, and for months he has been applying to the Guardhouse, city Inspector, health officer and Mayor, but with no other success than per? haps a temporary cleaning up, which lasts a few hours. After one of these it soon becomes as bad as ever, and it is now so offen? sive that the streets opposite the pools is scarcely inhabitable. Have we a city In? spector or have we not ? The Mayor answers that he has furnished us with a temporary one in the person of Alderman Collins, and it is hoped that these cesspools will be among the first fields which are to prove the clean sweeping of the new broom. The Manhattan's Passengers. We learn, by telegraphic advices from New York, that the steamship Manhattan, which ar? rived at that city on Tuesday night last, was permitted to send her passengers up to the city on Thursday morning. Travellers will note the trifling extent of this detention, and all who desire to go North by Eea will govern themselves accordingly. Beaufort Better. A gentleman who left Beaulort on Thursday inlorms us that there was, at that time, only one case of yellow fever m the town, and that came Irom Bull River. Beaufort ls cleaning up, and disinfectants are at a premium. A Specimen Wnopper. As a specimen of the wild stories with which people In the Interior are regaled about the lever in Charleston, we reproduce the follow? ing from the Columbia Union of yesterday : A gentleman just irom Charleston, and one who ought to know whereot he affirms, states that there were fourteen funerals to his know? ledge In that city yesterday. ThlB would seem to indicate a wider range ol the disease than has yet been reported. This is on a par with some of the Ku-Klux stories of the Union. SULLIVAN'S ISLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. I have received the following comm unlca tions from D. B. Gllllland, Esq., recorder of the Town Council ot Moultrieville, Sullivan's Island. Believing it a duty on my part that a deed so honorable to the agents, and so un? sought ol by me. should be known to the far and wide friends of the island, who have a common interest with ourselves in its great growth and importance, I ask the favor of lay log both communications before the public through THE DAILY SEWS, In which you pub? lished my exposition of Sullivan's Island: CHARLESTON, S. C., August 28, 1871. Reverend ?'tr-It affords me great pleasure to communicate to you the action of the Town Council of Moultrieville, at a meeting held on the 24th instant, as will appear by the enclosed extract from the minutes. Wltn great respect, yours very truly, D. B. GI LL'LAND. To Very Reverend Dr. BERMINGHAM, V. G., Charleston, S. C. "At a meeting of the Town Council of Moul? trieville, ou Sullivan's Island, held 24th Au? gust, A. D. 1871, the following recommenda? tions, made by the committee on lois In their report ot this date, were unanimously adopted : ..Your committee would lurther recommend that as an expression of the high regard ol Council for the indefatigable zeal o? the Very Reverend Dr. Bermingham, V. G., in the ad? vancement ol the temporal as well as the spir? itual welfare of the Island, that the square ad? joining the church, Stella Marla, be called and be hereafter known and designated as 'Ber? mingham Square.' '.Extract from the Minutes. "D. B. GILLILAND, Recorder." I should be callous to the just and laudable sensibilities of our nature were I not gratified and grateiul for such high consideration from the gentlemen composing the committee on lots, and from the whole Council of the Town of Moultrieville, in session. It ls additional gratification to me that the honorable Council are professional gentlemen, stand in the Iront ranks ol our most respecta? ble citizens of Charleston and the island, and that none among them is a member of the Ro? man Catholic Church. Moreover, the humble subject of their high consideration is a Roman Catholic priest. 1 his fact proves the elevation and liberality of the Council. It magnifies the honor conferred. It ennobles the deed,and reflects an example that will be always appreciated and honored by the present and future crowds of liberal citizens who will visit the Island, and pass with a wel? come and blessing through-"Bermingham Square." Hoping that John H. Devereux and Brother, Esqs,, architecte, will be faltblul to promise, and be as speedy in attending to the "Star of the Sea" as was the Council to the "Bquare" that will adorn her front, soon then shall we see "SL Mary's" presenting her Gothic propor? tions, her lower, her bell, uer "star" and her cross. Look sharp, then, my dear Devereux. The Council has left you behind. Don't let the Stale keep ahead of the Church. The summer is passing, the fall is at hand; gather your loree at the "square;" put the last brick In the walls. Now is the time. God and His people will help us. T. BK ft M INO nail. D.
