The DAII.Y PRESS ia alao the Official Paper of the City of Aturiiata, having been elected by the City Council ae their Oifteial Organ* Richmond County SufkrTdr Court.. In this Court, yesterday morning, there were three eases of larceny (colored) tried, and acquitted; Recorder’s Court.—ln tliis Court yesterday there were two 18th Section cases tried and fined $lO each, or twenty days work on the streets. Support Yourselves.—Neighbors (?) be spry and energetic, and remember that it does not look well to call on your younger brother to sustain' you in your old age. One good haul is suffi cient. Don’t do it again. St- Michael’s (Charleston) chimes will soon be heard again, as the bells were shipped from Liverpool for that city, on their fifth voyage across the Atlantic on the 20th ult.' Discharged.—The jury in the case of the freedman charged with being accessory to the mnrder of young Car michael, after having been ont over three daysf being unable to agree, were discharged on yesterday. Magazines.—We are indebted to our attentive friend Quinn for Godey's La dy's Book and Frank Leslie's Lady's Magazine for February—both filled, as usual, with matters of interest and value to those dearer to us than ourselves. Mutiny.—There are three United States soldiers now in the City guard house on the charge of mutiny, in threatening the lives of Lieut. Colonel Sweeny and the Captain in command of the barracks. The Richmond County Academy.— We are informed that the Academy, now used as a part of the barracks, is to be turned over to the Board of Trustees to-day or to-morrow. The frame build ings will still be retained and used as barracks. Bishop Pierce. —This eminent Di vine delivered two able discourses in this City, on last Sabbath —one at St. John's Church in the morning, and at Asbury at night. Another is announced by him to mgbt at St. James. Those who wish to hear him should not be deterred by the weather, as the house will be comfortably warmed. Destitution. The Chattanooga Union refers to the appalling amount of destitution among emigrants reaching that city, who have not means to pro ceed further. They huddle together promiscuously about the depot, without bedding, fire, or food. The charitable as«o nations are doing what they can to relieve their wants, but their means are entirely inadequate. Fire Crackers Arolished. The new tariff bill, now before Congress, prohibits the importation of fire crack ers. Nearly every city and neighbor hood has suffered from fires consequent on the use of these Chinese abomina tions. '1 he great fire at Portland last Fourth of July, is ascribed to them, and ft recent lire in this City was ascribed to the same cause. Therefore this pro vision ol Congress will meet the general approval ot all save Young America, whose privileges will be seriously abridged thereby. He must find bis Christmas diversion iq some other chan nel. The AiXex Press.—This it the -title of anew paper, about to be estnblighed in the nourishing and boalthfal town of Aiken, S. C„ by Messrs. Ravenel k Kirkland. The field is tgffood one, and with a newspaper properly conducted, as we are sure the Press will be, Aiken will be greatly benefitted. We commend it to the patronage of the public gener ally and ot merchants particularly. See the prospectus it another column. Frecpnen in Tkx«s.—lt seems that planters of Texas are not exempt from the difficulties which arise out ol tho exactions of the freedmeu in the older States. A letter from Richmond, Texas, stales that nearly hall the farmers of that section had not, on the Ist inst., made arrangements for sufficient labor to cultivate their crops, the neg Toes holding out for higher wages than the farmers could afford to pay. Temprkakce Revival.—The temper ance agitation has been revived in Wes tern New York, and is creating great enthusiasm. Thousands of confirmed inebriates have signed the pledge, and .there is quite a panic among the liquor sellers. It is hoped that this reform may reach Washington before Congress adjourns, and its emissaries might profit ably take the place of those pestilent political reformers who are operating farther South. Fine Beef. —We saw on the street yesterday some splendid Kentucky beeves, just brought out from Kentucky by Messrs. John P. Foster and P. H. Primrose, of this City. They consisted of two steers and a heifer, weighing, iu the aggregate, 4,555 pounds. One steer, six years old, weighs 1,(550; one, four years old, weighs 1,455 pounds; and the heifer, four years old, weighs 1,450 pounds. They will be slaughtered to day, and offered at stalls No. 1 and 9, on Wednesday morning. Horses at Auction. —We invite the attention of our readers, especially our agricultural readers, to the proposed. auction sale of horses and mules by Mr. Dehoney, of the Palace Stables. We are assured that these horses and mules have been selected with especial refer ence to the wants of the country, and consist of good sound stock, in good condition. Mr, Dehoney has adopted this method of disposing of them, as more desirable than any other—giving those in want of stock a variety to select from at the same time, and giving all a fair chance. The New Hampshire Democracy.— The Democrats of New Hampshire at their late Convention nominated Hon. John G. Sinclair for Governor, by accla mation. A series of resolutions were adopted. The fourth holds that all States have the right of representation in Congress. The fifth that the U. S. Supreme Court has manifested by its recent decisions a respect for the only authority which has legitimate powers. The eighth declares that all efforts tending to subvert the Executive are rebellious. Is Booth Alive ?—James E. Camp bell states in the New York Times that while in Calcutta, India, in July last, he heard a siugular bet of SSOO made, by Lieut. Wm. Martin Tolbert, of Shenan doah notoriety, and a gentleman from Boston, that J. Wilkes Booth was alive, and that he would furnish proof of it within six months. The bet arose from a discussion on the mefits of the conspi rators in the assassination plot. The Boston gentleman said that those who sympathized with Booth ought to share his fate. Captain Tolbert then proposed the bet alluded to. Tin AVeddino.—There was a pleasant reunion, last night, at the residence of E. Tweedy, Esq., one of the genial and popular City Fathers of the Second Ward, it being the tenth anniversary of his wedding. Presents of every de scription, many of which were of the most amusing character, and all of tin ; were showered upon the host and hostess, with a weatlh of wishes that their bridal anniversaries may continue and multiply until their friends shall greet them with a diamond wedding. The occasion was enlivened by music and dancing, and graced by the pres ence of a number of the belles of the City. Cotton Stealing.—A freedman, named Butler, was apprehended early on Sunday morning in the act of re moving a lot of loose cotton from near the warehouse of Pearce, Wheeless & Cos. He hod torn the bale in pieces, and thrown it over the warehouse wall, and was about to make a sure thing of it, when the cruel watchman put an end to his anticipations and lodged him in the Guard House. He has made some revelations in reference to cotton steal ing which may be valuable to those who have suffered front such depredations. Pretty Men.—A cotemporary has been to a ball, where he saw a “pretty man.” His face was round, full, femi nine—his features perfect, his cheeks rosy, his eyes large and dreamy, his hail curly and parted in the middle, side whiskers and moustache, both long and exquisitely pomaded—clothes at fash ion’s height—natty boots —switch cane —eye glass—padded and laced into an exerutialingly handsome form—the gazed at of the multitude. He is not the daudy proper, nor the fop common, nor the exquisite ; hut the male beauty, the most pitiable, perhaps, of ull mankind. If you see him don’t laugh, don't exclaim ; he’s an object of pity, but beyond redemption—let him go his way—you go yours, thaukiul that you are not him. His happiest hours are before his mirror—awuy from it he is miserable —harmless—the man whom it were cruel to keep out of petticoats, hut whom the law forbids the donuing of them. Wet War Upon Brothers—A letter from Macon, Ur., to r Northern paper, States that fully ono fifth of the State ia of Northern extraction, and that they are almost one in feeling with those of Southern birth or descent. This being true, does it not afford a striking illustration of the folly and wickedness ot the crusade being waged upon this people by the intolerant fac tion which controls the government ? They listen to the representations of such renegade Northerners as Hunni cult, Durant, Suffold, and Morse, rnauy of whom were prominent iu bringing on our troubles,..hut turn a deaf ear to thousands of relatives and friends who are good citizens of the South, and who are beiug ruined by their vindictive agi- tation. Agricultural Fair.—The Execu tive Committee of the Agricultural So ciety of Richmond County have ap pointed the fbllowing gentlemen as a Committee to solicit subscriptions to purchase premiums tor a proposed Fair ot said Association. It is to be hoped that they will be successful: First Ward—H. T. Peay, Wm. C Jones, Ker Boyce. Second Ward—Joshua K. Evans, James Miller, John Davison. • Third Ward—T. J. Jennings, Wm. A'. Ramsey, John D. Butt. Fourth Ward—M. O'Dowd, John A. Bolder, J. O. Matthewson. Summerville—E. Starnes, Porter Fleming, S. D. Linton. Country—A. Deas, Robert Schley, Adam Johnston, Alex. C. Walker, L. S. Catlin, W. 11. Hatfield. Mobile Tribune.—Messrs. Eggles ton, McGuire & Cos., have purchased this paper from Messrs, Johnson & Bal lintine. The latter gentleman, in re tiring, refers in touching terms to his earnest labors to build up the paper, which only those who have encountered similar trials can fully appreciate. He says : But I must drop a tear over my babyi the Tbibttne, which is now in the hands of others. I drop that tear, and part with those whom I love, with so much pain that, while writing this, the-paper is wet with the water that falls from my eyes. I know very well that this is folly, but who has uo folly ? I quit the paper, certain that it has been worthy of public respect, and feeling sure that it will continue to be worthy of it. We tender the retiring and incoming parties our best wishes. The Tribune is oue of our most valued Southwestern exchanges. The PkisTetual Congress.—The action of Congress in reconvening on the 4th of March is meeting with niuch ceusure, even from many radical jour nals. It is regarded unnecessary, and by many of them, an unauthorized ex ercise of power, which will involve a large expenditure, and which is not called for by any interest of the country. It is too palpable that the object is solely to badger the President, prevent him from making new appointments, and throw every possible obstacle in the way of his Executive policy. And many of those who are willing to see this done, are apprehensive that the people will condemn it, and that the power of the party will be weakened. It is evident that the popular sentiment of the coun try is becoming restless under the wild and reckless action of Congress, and there is reason to hope that the next elections will displace the corrupt and wicked men who are the authors of the present condition of affairs. English Reform.—The so called re form movement in Great Britain is assuming such magnitude as to excite serious apprehensions on the part ol the Government. John Bright, under the plea of philanthrophy, is playing the captivating role of the demagogue, and has enlisted the support of the laboring classes in such formidable numbers that their claims cannot, with safety, be ignored. It is stated that the effect of this movement, is impairing the confidence of capital—which is always timid under civil or social agita tions—to such ap extent that a general prostration of trade is apprehended, con sequent upon which will come such ex hibitions of discontent among the masses as may lead to something more than paper protests and petitions. Under these circumstances material conces sions to the working classes are deemed probable during the approaching session of Parliament. The full right of unre stricted suffrage will not be yielded at first, but the steady march of the reform movement points to that consummation; and it is not unlikely that by the time that “boon” is conferred on the blacks of America, it may be enjoyed by the scarcely less ignorant rabble of Great Britain. Then comes the test of free institutions. Powers ok Congress in the Case ok a Vacancy in the Presidency.—A copperhead journal endeavors to excite alarm by stating that in the event of the impeachment and removal of President Johnson we should be plunged into an excited Presidential election during the present year to fill his unexpired term, and then into another the following year for the regular succeeding term. It argues that such a political excitement would seriously disturb the country and disarrange its business and finances. Now, there need be no excitement on that ground, should Congress go so far as to remove the President; lor the same law making power—that is Copgress— which has provided for an election with in a certain time after such removal, can repeal this net and make the term of the succeeding President of the United States, who would be the Presi dent of the Senate, extend till the fol lowing regular quadrennial election. In that case there would be no election till 1868. Any way, we do not think there is cause for alarm. Making the consti tutional amendment the plutform of the conservative people of the republic for the final settlement of our political diffi cullies, with Goneral Grant for the next President, will pour oil upon the troub led waters and squelch tbo Jacobin agj tutors who are endeavoring, for their own ends, to keep the country disturbed and disorganized. —New I ork Herald,, Jan. 15.

In the House to night, Mr. Stevens gave notice that, after the morning hour to morrow, he would move the previous question, when he will speak one hour and then call for the vote.

Washington, Jan. 21. The Secretary of the Treasury was before the Committee on Ways and Means Saturday on the Gold Bill. It was stated that McCullough urged the public sale ol gold, the time and sums to be discretionary with the Secretary. No trains from Baltimore last night or this morning. It is doubted in shrewd circles wheth er the tariff, tax, and bank Bills will pass this session. General Logan, just from Illinois, says the people generally favor im peachment. The President, in response to a call made from the House, submitted a mass of papers, relative toG. St. Leger Green field, convicted by a Military Commis sion, at Cincinnati, in 1865, of a con spiracy to release prisoners iu camps Douglass and Chase, sentenced to death.
