THE SOUTH AOAIN ITSELF.-The Metropo? litan, after a cheerful roviow of tho now very promising commercial situation, at the South, comes to the conclusion that "3,000, 000 bales of cotton, next year, will put tho quietus on radicalism, and wind up tho whole machinery of reconstruction." The spirit of trade, (wo ure reminded,) is an obsequious one and worships success. Let the South raise 3,000,000 bales of cot? ton this year, and tho very men who called loudest for the enforcement of tho recon? struction policy, will solemnly disclaim ever having boen tho enemy ot its people. Quin told a lady that sho looked bloom? ing as spring, but, recollecting that tho sea : in was not then very promising, bo added: Would to Heaven the spriug would look like you.

Respectfully submitted, W. T. WALTER, ' ) R.W.JOHNSON, -Committee. GEORGE A. SHIELDS, ) Report received and adopted. His Honor the Mayor informed tho Board that a claim had been made against the city by Wm. Glaze, for work contracted in I860 and 18G1, and had been placed in the hands of the attorney of Mr. Glaze, for collection ; that after consultation with the city at? torney, tho following compromise had been agreed upon: The claim against the city amounted to $2,539, principal and interest; allowing a discount of $650.97, due the city by Mr. Glaze, it was agreed to waive all in? terest on either side and adjust the balance, $1,047.33, by giving the bonds of the city at par for that amount.

Visit to Trinity Ohonh on Sunday. Attracted by the notice that the Rt. Rev. Bishop of South Carolina would officiate, and the attractive ceremony of confirmation be administered, we strolled into the ehurch in time for service. The orgau, over which we might suppose a genius presides, in lis? tening to the beauties of a chaste and per? fect style; of harmonies full of ancient memories; of cadences replete with the poe? try of nature; and all partaking of that high religious sentiment which music ever awakens in the breast of fallen man, is not, however, of sufficient depth of power for so large and extended Gothic structure, with its lofty nave and crucial angles. It is a matter of surprise that when tho exten? sion of the church was going on provision was not mado for a larger organ-one com? mensurate with tho building und the wants of the church. This addition, and the completo furnishing of tho church-its .stained-glass windows; its beautiful chancel and tablets; its holy altar and richly carved font-will make Trinity Church the pretti? est ecclesiastical building in South Carolina. A noticeable feature in connection with tho organ, is the music of tho choir; except iu tho larger cities, wo seldom havo the plea? sure of hearing such a style of music con? nected with tho services of the church. An? thems, chants, responsivo Glorias, with beautiful and soul-impressivo Te JJeums, joyful Jubilates, unaccompanied in tho canto with a soprano "that fills the soul with sacred pleasure, while they sing redeeming love." Tho impressive rito of confirmation was very touching and solemn-young and mid? dle aged devoting themselves to tho Lord, was beautiful to behold. Tho Bishop preached n very instructive sermon, on the "power of Christ and his kingdom on earth;" a cogent and logical discourse, to which tho most profound attention was given. After tho offertory and prayer for the wholo stato of Christ's Church mili? tant, tho congregation retired, and the Holy Communion was administered to tho members remaining by tho Rector, P. J. Shaud, assisted by tho Rev. Bruco Walker. VISITOR. A FIRE-SHOCKING OCCURRENCE-Two CHILDREN BURNT TO ASHES.-Last Sunday evening, between 8 aud 9 o'clock, an alarm of fire was heard, which tho diffused light of the sky pointed to tho North eastern part of the town. There appeared to bo much consternation and excitement among the colored peoploand the crowd generally, who were hastening to the burning building, tho property of a colored man named Ham? mond Small, which was discovered when beyond all hope, the fire having bursted from the interior, thou ono mass of Hames; and horrible to relate, two negro children, who wore Bleeping iu tho building, fell vic? tims to the merciless element. From what we eau learn, tho parents of tho children were absent at church and left them in chargo of two women, ono of whom was abseut at tho time of tho occurrence. Tho statement of tho other is, that she had put the children to bed with a lighted torch, which abo afterwards throw in tho chimney and retired for the night; that she slept profoundly, and was only awaked from her slumbers by tho roaring of the flames; that she hastoncd toward tho room whoro the children slept, but was obliged to quickly retreat and barely made her escape. Our fire companies were promptly at the spot, and some efforts were made to rescue tho unfortunate victims, who were at ono time discovered through the flames, but tho heat was so intense that tho attempt was fruitless. They perished amidst the burning ruins. Search was soon made for tho remains, and two shapeless masses of charred matter were discovered. A jury of inquest was held over those remains of humanity, and a ver? dict given as above. Tho names of the chil? dren wero respectively, Jacob and Edward Rue, and their ages three and five years. [Georgetown (S. C. J Times. -o A FUNNY LEGISLATURE.-The Legislature of Illinois, last Saturday, after giving Chicago to Indiana, passed a bill vesting all political, civil and social power in tho Stato in "tho female portion of the population above the ogo of sixteen years." It is made unlawful for any male over twelve years old to bo out after dark, unless protected by a woman qualified to vote. Tho Grand Jury of Washington, D. C., has found a truo bill against a man, who, without knowledge or skill in medicine, ad? ministered ten grains of sulphate of mor? phine to a woman, who, it is alleged, died in consequence. Office of Udolpho Wolfe, SOLE I siro UT. OFTUKSCBIEDASI AROMATIC SOUN APPS 22 BEAVEB STREET, NEW YORE, NOV. :$, 'OS. To the Peuple of the Southern Stoles. When tho pure medicinal restorative, now BO widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, waa introduced into the world, under I tie endorse? ment of 4,000 lending members of tho medical pro? fession, Homo twenty yearn ago, its proprietor wan well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to now and useful preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invent it with tho strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit? ers, and to ronder all attempts to pirato it difficult and danger ona It was submitted to distinguish ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by tin m tho purest spirit ever manufactured. Its imiity and properties having been thus ascertained, samples of ibo article were forwarded to 10,000 ph.THcians, including all tbu leading practitioners in tho United Stato*, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of thc preparation and a report of Hie result, accompanied cacti spcoimon. 4.0(H) of tho most eminent medical nu n in tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions .jf tho article won unanimously favorable tSueli a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by tho profession, ns no rohanco could be placed on tho ordinary Liquors of commorco; all of which wera more or leas adulterated, and, therefore, j unfit for medical purposes. Tho peouliar excel? lence and strength of the oil of juniper, which formed ono of tho principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic olement, give it, in tho estimation o'tho faculty, a marked superiority over e very other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional ! men of tho higheat rank were published in a condensed form, and enclosed with each bottlo ; of the Schnapps, as ono of the guarantees of its gonuinonesH. Other precautions against fraud wero also adopted; a patent was obtained for tho i article, tho label was copyrighted, a, fae simile of tho proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name aud that of the 1 preparation were embossed on the bottles, aud the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had over boen sold in this country under tho name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe'? Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and tbe label was deposited, as bia trade mark, in tho United States District Court for the Southern Dis? trict of New York during that year. It might bo Bupnosed, ny persons unacquainted with tho daring character of the pirates who prey upon tho reputation of honorablo merchants, by vending deleterious trash under their name, that tho protections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded tho introductions and sale of counterfeits. They neem, however, only to have stimulated tho rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of tho proprietor has been stolen: tho endorsement which bia Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alono receivod from the medical pro? fession has botvn claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels an bottles have been imitated, bis ad? vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tho genuino contents of his bottles, have rilled them up with common gin, thc most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made Ilia name and brand a cover for poison. Tho public, the medical profession and thc sick, for whom tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is proscribed as a remedy, arc equally interested with tho proprietor in thu detection and suppression ot these nefarious practices. Tho genuino article, manufactured at the establishment of the under? signed, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of tho berry of tho Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. Dy a process un? known in tho preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious and corrosive cle? ment. Complaints have been received from tho leading physicians and families in thu Southern States, of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travel? ers, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to thc baneful influence of uuwholcsomo river water, testify that cheal) gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. The agents of the undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the subject, and to for? ward to him tho names of such parties as they may ascertain to be engaged in th?! atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, tho under? signed would HIV that bebas produced, from under tho bands of the most distinguished men ol science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal excellence of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he ha* expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarani cet and safeguards, which ho designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imita? tions; that he bas shown it to bc the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly depended npon as unadulturated; that ho has challenged investi galion, analysis, comparison, and experiment ir all its forms; and from every ordeal tho prepa? ration which bears his name, seal and trade mark has como off triumphant, lie, therefore, feels it I duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, ti tho medical profession and tho sick, to denounce and expose the Charlatans who counterfeit thesi cvidonccs of identity, and ho calls upon tho presi and thc public to aid him in his efforts to reined; so great an evil. Tho following letters and certificates, from tin leading physicians and chemists of this city, wil provo to tho reader that all goods sold by tin undersigned aro all they are represented to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to: .y, that I regs id your tschnapp as being, in every respect, pre-eminently pure and deserving of medical patronage. At all events it is tho purest possible article of Holland Gin heretofore unobtainable; and, a9 such, may b safelv prescribed bv plnsicians. * DAVID L. MOTT, M.

DKAB SIB: 1 havo made a chemical cxaminatio of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, wit tho intent of determining if any foreign orinjuriou subatanco bad been added to tho bimplo distille spirits. DEAB Sin: Tho want of pure Wines and Liquor? for medicinal purposes, has been long felt by th profession, and thousands of lives have been sac ritieed by tho use of adulterated articles. Deliriut tremens, and other diseases of tho brain an nerves, so rife in this country, aro very raro i Europe; owiug, in a great elegree, to tho difforonc in tho purity of tho spirits sold. We bavo tested the several articles importo and sold by you, including your Gin, which yo sell under" tho name of Aromatic Schiedat Schnapps, which wo consider justly entitled to th high reputation it has ucquired in this country and, from your long experience as a foreign in porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors shuni meet willi the same demand. We would recommend you to appoint somo < tho respectable apothecaries in different parts < tho city as agents for the sale of your Brandie ami Wines, where tho profession can obtain ll same when needed for medicinal purposes. Wishing you success in your new enterprise, v remain your obedient servants. VALENTINE MOTT, M. D., Professor of Surger; University Medical College New York. J. M. GARNOOHAN, M.
