DULL TIMES.-AS a cotemporary save, this is tho oft-repcated expression of thos? who have nothing to do. We are sorry for them. Dull times, indeed! with Christmas only three days off-tho shops and stores lilied with tempting goods and thronged with happy parents and delighted children getting ready for Christmas'. Dull! yes, it may be. and should be, for tho drone; but for the man of work, there is no such word a3 dull. The baby to feed, koeps him from feeling dull, and the little feet to shoe, keep him busily moving. Let the loafer talk about cut-throat days; why don't he cut and stop his grumbling? These arj cut-throat days, however, for tho porkers, and right glad are we of it. Y*o have a talent for disposing of sausages and spare? ribs. But pork is not tho only favorite about these times, for, by common con? sent, everybody takes to turkey during thc holidays. Turkeys! who on Christmas bled, Turkeys! who on corn have fed, Welcome to us, now you're dead, And in the Irost have hung. Kuw's tho day, and now's the hour, Through the market how we scour, Seeking turkeys to devour Turkeys old and young. ' Who would be a turkey hen, Fed and fattened in ? pen Killed and eat by hungry men Can you tell, I pray? Lay tho proud old turkeys low, Let the youug ones run and grow, To market they're not lit to go, Till next Christmas day.

At twelve o'clock last Friday night a fight took place at Flynn's porter? house, in Spring street, New York, between Patsey Evans and Luke Murphy for $100. Twenty-four rounds were fought with varied suc? cesses, about equal punishment hav? ing been given and received by either party. The Herald says: Round twenty-four and hist was the best contested of tho battle, both men fighting with extraordinary spirit. Murphy fell from a terrible blow upon the chest, and when down his second claimed that a foul blow, had been struck by Evans. Tho claim of foul was put in but not al? lowed, the referee deciding against, the claim. At this moment, tho in? formation was received that the fight was discovered, and that a raid was meditated by the police, whereupon the referee decided thc fight a draw, and tho parties hastily departed. Both parties were considerably punished, Tvans' peepers being quito closed. Evans stands six feet two inches in height, and weighs two hundred pounds avoirdupois. His antagonist, the "Unknown," from Quebec, stands six feet two and a half inches in height, and weighs one hundred and ninety-eight pounds. Both parties will immediately go into training for the impending contest, which, from the exhibition of Evans' gameness in this last mill, will pro bably prove a closely contested bat? tle. VALUABLE DISCOVEBT.-It is said that a smelter in our mint has disco? vered a new process by which the Government in coining money will save at lesst $2,501) out of every mil? lion dollars made from bullion. The process is to be kept secret. Csible Drspatclics. PARIS, December 21.-Ae manifestations of the cordial relations existing between France and tho United States, tho farewell dimer of Minister bigelow, yesterday, was a very successful affair. Mr. Kellogg, in his speech on that occasion, declared ho waa glad to say that tho traditional friend? ship between tho two nations had been re? stored. LONDON, December 21.-The case of the United States vs. Frioleau carno up again before the Admiralty CoHrt yesterday, when Minister Adams refused to sanction the. agreement recently entered into be tweeu the United States Consul Morse and tho firm of Fraser, Trenholm A Co., tho actual defendants in the catie. An exten? sion of timo was granted to tho United States to preparo for carrying on tho case, but the securities of Prioleau were dis? charged. Nev? Menin. SAN FKANCISCO, December '?0.-Governor McCormick, of Arizona, visits San Francis? co at tho request of citizens of Central Arizona, to confor with Generals McDowell and Hallcck concerning measures neces? sary to protect, tho people of that section from continued murderous outrages by the Indians. NASSAU, N. P., November 21.-The work of rebuilding continues rapidly-the ar? rival of '.-.rpenters from New York having given additional impetus to the resident workmen. The ruins of Trinity Wesleyan Chapel are being cleared away, and seve? ral extensivo warehouses aro also being rapidly pushed to completion. NEW YOIIK, December 21.-St. Peter's Catholic Church, in Jersey City, an elegant structure just completed, took tiro last night, from some unknown cause, and be? fore tho flames could be subdued, badly damaged the magnificent organ in process 1 of construction. Tho loss by lire and water will perhaps reach $20,000 An adjourned meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, for tho consideration of the advisability of memorializing Congress for a reduction of tho tax on cotton, was held yesterday. An unusually large number of | members were present. Tue speeches against the object of the memorial were on tho principle that it would be wrung to remove tho weight of taxation from tho staple article of tho South, while few, if any, of the products of Northern industry escaped the heavy burden of which the advocates of the memorial complained. Tho question was deferred indefinitely. WASHINGTON, December 21.-Witnesses havo been, and are being, examined before tho Grand Jury of this District in the case 1 of Snrratt. A subpoena has been issued for Lloyd, who kept thc hotel at Surratt? villo, but it is said ho caunot bo found. Weichmau, who was the principal witness for the prosecution in tho conspiracy trial, eas already given evidence before the Grand Jury. MARRIED BY ACCIDENT.-Last even? ing Edward Thayer and Miss Hellen P. JeUimau, attended by Mr. Austin Humphrey and Annie E. Crause, ?went to St. Paul's Church, thc former couple to get married, and the latter to act as groomsman and bridesmaid. They all stood up before tho altar, and the officiating clergj-man, the Kev. Mr. Dunn, supposing that both couples were to be married, 'request? ed the gentlemen to join hands with their respective ladies, which was done, and in a very short space of time the four were made two. The situation being fully realized by the latter couple, they concluded to ac? cept what they could not very well help, and all adjourned to their boarding houso quite well pleased with the result of the preacher's mis? take.-Detroit Union, Cth. Moro than half of tho income tax comes from three States. Thus, in 1865, the total income tax was $20, 560,000, of which Massachusetts paid $3,193,000, New York $6,222,000, and Pennsylvania $3,431,000-these States aggregating $14,846,000. COMME1?CIAL. AX?

There was an increased demand for money to-day, and comparatively few transactions at G por cent, on call-the bulk of new business being at 7. The sup? ply of capital hero is large, and there is no real cause for any stringency, as tho Government is neither selling gold nor drawing upon the national banks. Tho decline in ?dd cause? a feeling of distrust, which induces money-lenders to ?int tho rate* up to 7 per cent., and the Vears have been endeavoring to absorb as much money as possible, so as to assist the downward movement. There can be no permanent stringency in tho money market in the pro sent dullness of general tracie arni limited volume of speculation in Wallstreet. The gold market closed al 133?. and the two ex? tremes of the day were 134J and 133j. The deciine in gold to-day exorcised a depress? ing influence at produce exchange, and there was a general decline in prices. In tho merchandize markets, there was a heavy feeling to realizo, and lower prices would have to bo accepted. 7 P.

GREELEY, ON SK WA KI>.-Mr. Se? ward's opinion . of Horace Greeley, tersely expressed, was published in the papers, a few days ago. Upon being brought to Greeley's notice, he riled np, and said: "Soward luis brains enough to go? vern the country. No man has a clearer or better h .'ad; but the trou? ble with Seward is, that'he is" an in? fernal scoundrel." We learn from the New York Even? ing Pout, of Monday, that tho funeral of Paul Drayton, Most Worshipful Past National Graud Master of tho colored Masonic fraternity, took place yesterday, from Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of Bleeker anil West Tenth streets. At the time of Mr. Drayton's death, he was on a - mission to South Carolina, to organ? ize Masonic lodges among the colored people. The. Galveston Neies, alluding to the rapid progress making by that city, and the spirit of enterprise everywhere ma tifested, says : "A large portion of our active trade is now carried on by men who were not here before the war, a"hd we believe it is but just to them to say that they have sot au example of enterprise which is at the foundation of our present prosperity." FAILED TO COME.-The New Or? leans correspondent of the New York World says: "The massacre of Union men, fixed by the 7 Vi lt une correspon? dent for the 1st of November, failed to come oil' according to appoint? ment, although the weather was ex? tremely line." And asks: "What amazing lie will b next concocted by that imaginative person?" THE REGICIDES..-It is a little start? ling that, within the space of about one year, attempts should have been made upon the life of the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, and now upon the Emperor of Austria, besides those made upou tho Minis? ters of the two first of those sove? reigns. The trade of thc regicide seems to be reviving, and yet it never prospers. A New York despatch says: "Ste? phens' headquarters exhibit an ani? mated spectacle. The men are busy inspecting ammunition and arms, arriving from Pennsylvania and Dela? ware, collected by Colonel Condon. Donations amount to 1,000,000 rounds of fixed ammunition, with arms. Texas sends 35,000 stand of arms and $4,000 in currency." A RASH PROMISE.-A prominent Democrat, of Horuellsvilie, New York, pledged himself, before elec? tion, to one of the clergymen there that if the Democrats were defeated, he would attend church every Sab? bath for two years. He now declares that "he will stand the punishment like a mau." RUMORED DIFFICULTY WITH TII^. UNITED STATES.-The London Globe hints at a serious difficulty between the British Government and the Cabi? net at Washington, in respect to the duties of the latter in maintaining a legitimate and faithful neutrality in the Fenian matter. The mud is so deep in Memphis that some mud wags-they ought to be called polly wogs-put up a sign, "A man drowned here, to-day." A bewildered countryman, coming by, and noticing the sigu, remarked that he had lost his friend, and asked if ho had n/>t better havo the street dragged. Tho great wonder in the State of Iowa is the "Walled Lake," which is three fc<?t higher than the earth's surface, and occupies 1,000 acres. It has not yet been ascertained where the water comes from or where it goes to, yet it always remains fresh and clear. KANSAS.-The Leavenworth Tim*s says that an effort will be made to scud John Brown's squatter cabin to the Paris Exhibition, as a contribu? tion from Kansas. It has been the constant habit of Kansas to make a fool of herself, from her vc ry infancj'. An American correspondent is much sought after in Paris by French officers, to account for an alleged written insult, to the Emperor. He is expected to fight duels with the entire army. A mau, in Albany, N. Y., dreaming there were burglars in the house, the other night, awoke in excitement, and severely assaulted hi? wife, who was standing by the bed-side. By a curious coincidence, a gentle? man, in England, rejoicing in the name of Simple, bas just patented an invention for obta.ning perpetual motion. An English paper says: A well known author has lately made a pri? son his temporary home, to be enabled to give his experience of life in a jail. Professor Agassiz says that, for forty years, he was a teacher, and never punished a pupil. He does not believe in the virtues of birch. The Archbishop of Canterbury has been ia the ecclesiastical ranks for thirty years, without, publishin i a sin? gle treatise or sermon. . The United States Government bas paid $20,000 in ?old, for cable de? spatches to Mr. Bigelow, relative to Mexican allai rs. If ttie present hard times are to continue, men's clothes mayas we'd be made without pockets.-Prentice. Why is a bil?ard-nlayer like a thief in a crowd? B^au.?e he a.ms for the pockets. CONGRESSIONAL PRAYER-JVI ?ET INO. Thirty-one members of Congress or? ganized a prayer-meeting in Wash? ington, on Thursday night. Acting vice-President Poster was class-lead? er. It is recorded in standard authority that the prayers of the wicked are an abomination in the sight of Hea? ven. How far this will apply in thc case of the "thirty-one," or whether at all, we are not prepared to say at present. . i sin?? NEWS. PORT OF CHARLESTON. DEC. 21. ARRIVED YESTERDAY.
