"jtHE COMING TOURNAMENT_The extraordi- J j nary success which attended the last brilliant 11 exhibition of this kind up at the Fair Groun ls, has Induced several of our most energetic and enterprising citizens to bestir themselves In this direction, and the result ol their labors is IJ the promise of a grand tournament in this city on the 10th instant. This is not the only at? tractive feature, but race3 and excursions promise to make the week beginning on the 7th instant one of the liveliest and gayest j j which our citizens have experienced for 11 Borne time. The managers will procure the race-track, if pos-It.ie, from the South Caroli? na Jockey Ciu1?, an i the level sward enclosed by the track will furnish the ample and con? venient field for the tournament.

Parties desiring to par-11 tlelpate In the tournament are requested to | ] arjply to Major E. Willis or James M. Ne'son, E??" in this city. AMUSEMENTS. Thc Second and Last Moulton Concert. The second and, we grieve to say, the last I Moulton conceit look place last night and was even more successful than the concert of j the preceding: evening. AU the members of the company evidently sang their best, and Mrs. Moulton was indescribably fascinating. ' It is, indeed, eminently Improper to allow this lady to journey about the country in this fashion. She should, at least, be labelled Dangerous ! that unwary youths may know what is in store for them, and that maiden and matron may grd on all their armor of comc'.iness to do battle lor the hearts which the queenly stranger tlireaters to bear away. Mrs. Mouton's first song. Bel Reggio, is one which tests the f.rcillty aud fluency of the singer, and it was delivered last night with an ease and a brea uh which made the most difficult passage- seem as simple as a nursery ballad. But this cavatina, splendidly as it was sung. doe3 not display the evenness, the purity and the exquisite flexibility of Mrs Moulton's voice as well as Gounod's song the duo f>om L'Elisir d'Amore. Tatt Bel Rag gio, however, was so warmly applauded that the fair singer, giving way to the demands of the audience, sang Bexcare! This was done wiih more artistic skill, with more expression, and with more roguish archness than Thursday night, the necessity of the caution being probably greater. In this song the vel? vety softness of Mr? Moulton's voice, and the suspicion of a foreign accent, (*'It is not tr-r-ue !") were especially charming. Gounod's OA .' that ice fico icere Maying is full of pathos. It was beautifully rendered, and wa3 loudly applauded. La Cappriciosa, in which Mrs. Moulton lalrly revelled in vocal difficulties, was a model of facile and finished singing. And the Scotch ballad, given as an encore, was as dainty a blt ol work as we have met with. But the gem of the concert was ihe duo from L'Elisir (VAmore (Mrs. Moulton and Signor Ferranti) where both acting and singing were superb. The two singers were worthy of J each other. v Signor Ferranti, in addition to a duet with Mr. Bowler, sang -Viii RampoH and Feminine .' Femmine ! We cannot hear this gentleman too often. His voice is metlow and rich, and he has that genuine humor which. In so-called buffos, is so exceedingly rare. Signor Fer? ranti is a singer of the first order, and the audience showed their appreciative of his skill by ca'ling him three times berore the curtain after each song. Mr. Brookhouse Bowler sang Who Shall be Fairest? (with Good-bye, Sweetheart! as an encore.) and Thou ar* so near, (with Let me like a Soldier Fall T an encore.) Ail these songs were well received, but the last was the heartiest and most striking ol the four. Mr. Wehli played the Marta fantasia and an original piano solo, both pieces being encored. For ihe first encore he gave Te Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon, with variations, and for the second the famous Home, Siceet Home .' Tor the left hand only. No words ot ours would do justice to the delicacy of touch, the aston'shing rapidity ol execution uah the varied artistic graces of this eminent pianist. One enthusiastic gentleman in the audience (who is old enough to know bet? ter.) whispered audibly that it would bethe leight of earthly bliss to dream away the days, listening to the ducat notes of Wehll. and watching Mr.?. Moulton's smile. Mr. Colby is the best accompanyist who has ri sited Charleston. He has the great merit of wing heard at only the right moment. The nstrument upon which he played (one of | Weber's,) has a rich tone, and is particularly ?weet in the upper octaves. We repeat, in conclusion, what we said resterday morning, viz, that the Moulton con ;crto or? admirable io every rvejwct, and de? serve all the pruise that has been bestowed ipon them. Mrs. Moulton is incomparably superior to any other American prima donna, and in the concert room need not fear the .'?valry of the prime donne of European re lown. Rossini, when he first heard Mrs. Moulton, cried out enthusiastically, Viola la Voix ! They who have heard Mrs. Moulton in Thtrleston w*>l long remember tt La Belle Voix et La Btlle Dame ! The Ht turn of the Wat klnscs. The ravorite comedian, Mr. Harry Watkins, with Mrs. Watkins and their excellent compa? ny, will plsy ft! ihe Academy of Music for six nights, beginning on Monday next. If they jet what they deserve, they will have a warm greeting. The Circa?. Dan Rice and his able corps of artists had mother large and appreciative audience to witness their feats of dexterity and agility last 11 ?vening, i&d the entertainment passed off in '1 i highly agreeable manner. This afternoon Ihe orphan children will attend the exhibi? tion at the express Invitation of Mr. Rice, | ' when a programme will be arranged express-1 y for their amusement. CKAYOGRATur.-A mechanical apparatus has >een mounted, and is now being exhibited by Hr. R. W. Reynolds at the Mills House, which ?nables a pupil, after a single lesson, to make iccurate drawings of photograph?, engrav ngs, maps, charts, &c, reducing or enlarging he same to any size desired. The art re? hires but ordinary skill, and is in ihe reach of | ?very one. Specimens may be seen oa exhi? bition in shop windows about the d'y. MAJOR JAMES ISEELL.-The Talladega Motin, aln Home, of the 20th ult., is draped in nourning in commemoration of Major James 'shel!, whose death had caused deep regret in he community. Our contemporary concludes, is follow-, its feeling and interesting sketch of | he life and character of the deceased: Upon ihe whole, we have rarely known a nan whose example we would more earnestly vcommend as a pattern for the imitation ol' a roung man just starting in the active duties of | if??, than ihat of Major Isbell. His life had an )bject in view, and his energies were spent in mailling that object. The object was the ?onest accumulation of a fortune which should >e useful to himself and others, useful to bust? les* and morals, uselul to society and religion. The life was a success, in that it reached ts object. Every man should live and act vith a purpose in view, to the accomplishment )f which he should devote the vigor of youth, he strength ol manhood and the sound sense )f old age; being certain that the oblect 19 a vorthy one, his life will be well spent If lt at ains Its goa!. And his friends and those who ;ome after him can say ihat this man accom >lished his mission, filled bis brief space, and lis life was worth something to the grand sum >f human existence. REFUNDING THE TAX ON COTTON-.-The fol-11 owing memorial to Congress has been sent 10 ill the counties in the State, and the persons .vho have the matter directly in charge are irged to put it in train immediatelv, or band he memorial to some neighbor "who will: To the Congress of the United States: The subscribers were, in the years 1SG5, 'G6, 77 and "6?, when they were red'ueed to almost tbject poverty by lo;ses growing out of the ate unhappy war, short crops ano low prices or the products of their soil, required to pay in unjust and unequal tax on cotton, their Drlncipal product, when other State?, outside he cotton belt, were not required to pav simi ar tax on the products of their BOIL ?n ad lition to this lax on co'.lon your petitioners I?ie required to pay their due share ot all )ther taxes. Your petitioners are advised ,hat lt is the opinion of many of our most em nent jurlst6 that the law Imposing a tax on :oiton was In violation or the constitution, ?vhlch is the anchor around which all should ?semble for equal rights, equal privileges md equal burdens. Your petitioners have lever hesitated In their belief that Congress vould do thom justice by repairing the great, vrong inflicted on them. And to that end ?.our petitioners now most humbly pray. A FATAL RESCONTRE. Two .tien Fight on the "Wharf-One Drowned in the Dock. A little before seven o'clock last eveniDg a fight occurred on Southern wharf between two colored men named James Jose and Aaron Fraser, which r, stilted In the latter being pushed into the dock and drowned. The men had been employed during the afternoon car? rying freight on trucks on board the"steamer City Point, which was about to leave on one of her-usual trips. A quarrel arose between them, caused by one taking the other's truck, which they agreed to settle after work was over. At that time Aaron said, he was ready to have it out, and Jose re? marked that that time was as good as J any other. The two retired around a small oJSce on the wharf, and Aaron com? menced the fight. They struggled for some time, and Aaron pushed his antagonist against an old engine, giving him a severe cut in the head. As they scuffled in the dark, near the edge of the wharf, Aaron suddenly lost his looting, and tumbled head foremost into the dock. The alarm of man overboard was quick? ly spread, but the unfortunate man never rose to the surface, and a*l efforts to find him were fruitless up to a late hour. The drowned man was what is called a green hand, and hence the jealousy which led to the quarrel. Jose, who is a powerful black man, was arrested and lodged in the Guardhouse to await the subse- j quent developments in the affair. TOE METHODIST CONFERENCE.-The confer? ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church con? tinued its sjss'on in the Wentworth street Church yesterday. Bishop Simpson in the chair. A laure class of promising joung men were received Into the conference. They were very eloquently and earnestly addressed by the bishop and Dr. Barrows, of Atlanta. Major M. B. Towns-nd and Ed. Emerick Sell, Esq., eminent friends of the temperance cause, were introduced to the conference and most fraternally received. In the evening a j missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. Abram Middleton. A large convection of lay delegates held a meeting In the same place. Henry Cardozo, Esq., was elected president, and F. W. Sasportas secretary. Hotel Arrivai! D < ember ?9.
