THAT PORT ROYAL RAILROAD.-The Augusta papers are confident that the late conference o? representatives ol the South Carolina, tbe Georgia Central and the Georgia Railroads will not prevent the last-named company from endorsing a million of dollars of bonds of the Port Royal Railroad.

X Xl MU V 11 ? i i i.i 11 J THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Second Night of the Blonde Burlesquer*. j Another crowded and fashionable audience greeted Miss Thompson and her graceful satel? lites at their second performance at the Acad? emy of Mu-ic last evening. The favorable impressions of the previous evening were j more than confirmed, and the troupe achieved ; another decided triumph. The play was Lur? line, or the Nymph ot the Lurleberg, and it was none the less enjoyable that lt was a heartless burlesque on one of the prettiest oi German fairy taleB. The humor of the traves-' tie was extravagant, exuberantly overflowing? the music admirable; the puns were execrable, but the whole was Irresistibly comical, and the veriest stoic* of the audience even while ask? ing critically and Incredulously, "What was there to laugh at ?" found themselves wiping their eyes and shaking with laughter. The Buccess of the evening belonged, of course, to the fair Lydia, who made the most reckless Slr j Rupert, who, being very hard up, went softly | down to the cave of the Naiads In search of a fortune; Harry Becket, the devoted seneschal with a very large eye to the main chance; Miss Weatherby, as the lovelorn Lurline, a Bad victim of misplaced confidence, and Miss DuBois, the heroine of the play and the sweet? est of soprano singers. .

The entries were "Rocket," a dapple gray geld? ing, owned by Mr. A. W. Meyer, and "Fire? fly," a bay mare, owned hy Mr. J.H. Apeler. The race was eharp and decisive, the fiery competitors making splendid time, and Was j neatly won by the gray. PRIVATE THEATRICALS.-The Charleston Dra? matic Club gave one of their enjoyable per-1 romances last evening, at the corner of Meet? ing and Tradd streets, before a crowded audi? ence o? youth and beauty. The piece chosen was Enowles's historical play, entitled William Tell. The evening's entertainment was open? ed by Mr. Florian McCants lo an address on the stage, which displayed much careful fought. He showed that while the use of the stage ls often abused, still the general effect of the legitimate drama ls wholesome. The scenery, acting and general conduct of the club was highly creditable to all the parties engaged, and should enco?rage an early repe? tition of the performance. BISHOP P?RSICO.-The Savannah Republican learns that (his prelate has gone to New York for the purpose of attending, by special luvi* tatton, the consecration or the Catholic Church which has Just been finished on Fifth avenue In that city, and to perform the grandest part of the ceremony in the consecration, which takes place to-morrow.

THE YOUNG AUERICA BALL.-The tblrd an? nual ball ot the Young America Steam Fire Engine Company took place last evening, at th? Hibernian Hall, and was a brilliant affair. The hall was beautifully draped with flags, which, with tbe pendant decorations of moss gracing ibo splendid chandeliers, formed a striking and picturesque feature of Ihe tout ensemble gi the scene. The fact that several prizes were to be awarded by the managing committee had become generally known, and excited hopes which added lustre to the lovely toilets of the fairer sex, and an easy grace to the movements of each gallant fireman. The ladies were out early in numbers, and the hall was soon filled. The Chlcora Band fur? nished the Inspiration for the dancers, and ruled with its harmonious strains the fairy footsteps ol the graceful couples, as they gilded over the polished floor. The red shins and coats were the especial objects of admiration, and the wearers exhibited a gallantry and devotion to the fair which corresponded with their heroic enthusiasm and endurance when battling with the fiery elements.

The origin and spread of epidemics, diseases of local origin, methods for their prevention, &c, will be considered, and pa? pers and reports from the several counties ot the Stale may be expected.

THE LADIES FUEL SOCIETY.-At the regular monthly meeting, held yesterday morning at the depository, In Chalmers street, this socie? ty closed Its charitable work for the season. From the reports of the distributors for the various wards lt was shown that about eleven hundred dollars worth of fuel had 'been dis? tributed among the poor ol the city, in many cases gratuitously and In others at one-half of ] the actual cost, the severe winter through which we have passed caused heavier calls upon the charity of the society than was an? ticipated, but the resources were husbanded with care, and applied with much circumspec? tion. The amount of suffering alleviated and wants relieved by the society can hardly be appreciated by those who are not familiar with the circumstances of the poor,- and as they look back upon the minlsterlngs ol the officers of this association, hundreds of poor destitue families will exclaim: "God bless those ladles."
