Mcch Needed. —The long needed renovation in the sidewalk along the corner of Mclntosh and Broatl streets, opposite Clark’s old corner has com menced, much, to tbe gratification of pedestriaus. ! v 1 Why He Lost It. —A friend of ours she other day, was travelling with a trunk which had no lock on it, and con sequently the baggage master declined to check it. The trunk was lost. He went immediately to M. Cohen's and bought anew one, and only wishes that be had done it before. Fraternal. —Parson Beecher has w'itten a letter of fraternal greeting to Parson Brownlow, invoking the choicest blessings of Heaven on the head of the great embodiment of blackguardism. How sweet and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Richmond County Superior (50118+. —There were, only one or two cases tried in this Court yesterday—larceny— one case was convicted, and the other acquitted. The Court then adjourned until the next regular term. j ,y? ~ Recorder’s Court.—ln this Court, yesterday, there waß one case ot 18th section, inclusive of a domestic squab ble—man and wife, you know—colored folks— paid costs, made friends, and went their way rejoicing. One case of tfie lGth section was dismissed. On Dit.— Fashionable circles are in a high state of excitement preparatory for a priate masquerade that will shortly take place under the auspices of some of our leading citizens. The fair sex are thronging the store of W. AJ. Jones to view the French patterns on exhibition. Artificial Manures.— lt is gratify ing to observe the increased attention heing paid by our planters to commer cial fertilizers. Stovall and Edmouston advertise genuiue Peruvian Guano, Cell's Raw Bone Phosphate, and Zell’s Phosphate of Lime, to which the atten tion of our agricultural triends is di fected. Pile Bikferenue.— The Edgefield (S- L.), Aden titer, in a notice of the Aiken Prat, a paper about to be started in Barnwell disiriek thus kindly tenders its compliments to the new comer: ‘•W e beg Messrs.

Tu* $. Y. .fepTfks Says find a child named Michael Driscoll, between two and three years of age, entered the | Toombs PolicACourt in that city Friday afternoon, and told Justice Downing that he wished to make a cotn'filtiht against bis mother for stealing twoCWHts 1 from him. He said he wished to put her ‘'in thg bole" ioc,robbing him. The Justice gav* him twf cents and he went Olf his waV rejoicing.' Doctoring Fruit Ttkks.— lt is said that insects may be driven from fruit trees, which have hcen almost destroyed by them, by boring a. hole ittio the body of rfib tree, nearly through the sap, and inserting two grains of calomel. As soon as the *as> takes up the calomel the vermin on the tree begin to die, and the tree wili its freshnesf, and bear fruit- The experiment is Worth trying. Warning to Boys. —The Hdgefield Advertiser says, that while two little sons of Mrs. Richard Burton, a widow lady living near the village, were out hunting, the gun of one of them was accidentally discharged, while* he was loading it, blowing his brains out. We have often been surprised to see little fellows, not much more than half as high as a gun, permitted to go hunting. Ibis sad accident should be a warning to those having charge of youth. Edgefield Items. —The A/hertistr says an affray occurred in the upper part of the District on Friday last, which resulted in the death of Mr. Stan Chappell, and a negro man, whose name is not giveu. It appears that Chappell and a man named Frank Payne had a difficulty, in which Payne was severely shot, when he fired at Chappell, killing him instantly. Mr. Jeff. Payne, a brother of Frank, then interfered, and was fired upon by the negro who was with Chappell; he in turn shot the negro and killed him. sTheat*re~—Benefit.— Notwithstand ing the inclemency of the weather, a crowded house, last night, evinced the appreciatibn hi which Mrs. Watkins is ht:Ta*lti our City. The" bill selected lor the occasion of her benefit was the touching war drama, “Not Dead Yet.” Harry Russell’s grand scene of,“The Maniac,” by Mrs. Watkins; Saxfc’s travestie of ‘ Richard, Duke of Gloster,” by Dr. Couturier; and an amusing do mestic burletta. entitled, “It takes two to quarrel.” We have only room to say that the entire performance passed off with capital effect. The Tenure of the Office Bill.— This-bill, recently passed by the .Senate, di prives the President of the power to appoint or remove any officers except the roemberk of his Cabinet, with out the adv ce and consent of the Senate, und prevents removals and ap pointments .during the iece-8 of Con gress, except in certain specified eases, which are subject to the action of the Senate within twenty days after its re assembling. This is an important step towards the usurpation, by Congress, of powers properly belonging to the Ex ecutive.- = --S j Chills.—A number of our fyfSfhiLs, who are still haunted wfih thegc fin plensant companions, ,se«m to have overlooked {be * simple remedy pub lished by us a few days ago, and we, therefore, repeat the dose. It is said to be very effective, and it is certainly in expensive and hot bacHo take ; For an adult, take a tablespoonful of prepared chalk, put it iu a little less than half a tumbler of vinegar, and drink while it effervesces. Take one such dose the evening before the day you expect a return, p£ the chill, and another next' day abdut two Jiours be fore the expected attack. Curiosity of the Sr*. —A London letter says the women are actually, from their curiosity, becoming a nuisance in our law courts, especially in cases where coarse and indecent evidence has to be pgiveuip. In the Divorce Court they act shamefully in their desire to hear the filthy testimony. The other day a Judge attempted to get rid of his “lady" audience, with only partial success. Some evidence of a very gross character being impending, the Judge directed that ail respectable females should leave the court. There was a pause, during which some of the women retired. There was thjn another pause, and the rest evidently intending to remain, the Judge added: “All the respectable females having left the court, the case will now proceed." Thb Pacific Railroad. —The San Fruncisco Bulletin Las received infor mation from some railroad surveyors, and gives tables of distances of the routea by the Central and Union Pacific roads from San Francisco to New York via Chicago and via Denver and St. Louis. By the shortest route through Chicago and omitting 300 miles down the Humboldt river, it makes the dis tance 3040 miles. Adding the 300 miles the distance Is 8340 miles. From the common intersection, the table adds 130 miles to Denver, making from that point via Chicago the distance of 1988 miles, and via Denver 2141 miles.— Should the junction be made at Salt Leke, the table would be in favor of the Denver and St. Louis route' by over 300 miles, and would be much more in favor of the direct route were (he junction made at Sacramento City. "Tight oTT TTaTY B{'W*sT—TliT business Is nrtffikgod by tffe Freedrn«m*a Bureau, that Cuffee don’t like to work, and he has discovered that he can fool the Government out of rations and 'hjne# industry of white folks, and rides Illicit <|U the at th«-ir •‘whife -they ore at borne to make a living. White folks will not be much pleased with this arrangement, but it is as good a thing as Cuffee wants—better tliau York, bet ter than fighting, better than voting* It is precious little he cares for these little extras, compared to free grub and dead heftd ride* oiw the furs.—Rot who tir«*pb*sßitt for litas wofae than be* ’ less >fcffenditu>e bVpfvcnMtc&Tt Who can throw a little light on this dark subject? Comous Accident from Lime and K4romnk.—Mr. Samuel Cof;*of the town of Saratoga, Winona county, Wis., met with a serious accident on Friday week, while stacking a quantity of common jime in a kerosene barrel in the cellaf*. After adding Wnter and' while stirring with a stick, he brought a lighted candle in contact with the steam or gas, which instantly exploded, throw ing |;im .soideeight or ten feet ag&ieist tfte r Cfllfhr waif, ripping ud the Ifbnse floor, throwing Mrs. Cox from her chafr, and burning several of her fingers to a blister, and burning the lips and longue of a young lady who was standing at a table in the same room. The hole through the floor was about four feet by eight. Particles ot lime were thrown all over she house. The explosion was terrific, and, notwithstanding being shut up in the house, it was heard at a distance of a quarter of a mile. The face and hands of Mr. Cox were burned to a blister, and , was otherwise bruised so that he was confined to his bedl Isis eyes were also swollen shut for two daVs." Under medical care he was doing well. * Fred. Dodglass at Nashville.— The Nashvillians were delighted by a speech trom Fred. Daogjass the. other night, in which he broadly intimated that the deaths of President Harrisom General Taylor, and Abraham Lincoln’ were .procured to. make way toij theiy respective Vice Presidents, He would not say that Amly Johnsou had any thing to do with the death of Lincoln, but he would say that the men who murdered Lipcoln, knew Andy Johnson then, as we know him now. He there fore favored the abolition of the office of Vice-President. .He would not place a man behind the chair of the President within striking distance of him. Men have shed blood to obtain crowns, and a man, he said, has obtained the Presi dency through an assasshiatien. He did not want, when he was made Presi dent, to have a Vice-President standing behind him, smiling and stabbing as well. And the papers tell us these infamous sentiments el.cited “great ap plause.” The Nashville Press if* Times 3ays the speech was the greatest effort of the distinguished orator’s life. Such sentiments uttered agniust Mr. Lincoln would have consigned the author to Fort Lafayette. Significant. —An evening paper in Washington, which is regarded as con* veying the sentiments of the President, says of the administration : If necessary, its strong and iron hands will be invoked to stay the course and prevent the consummation of radical treason. The great oath of the Presi dent to protect and defend the Constitu tion will not be forgotten, and the people who sustain him with their five hundred thousand majority of the voting popula tion, North and South, will not forget him. Events have already brought the Government to the very verge of another revolution. If the Radical majority ill Cougress pursues its course much longer the Government, in order to sustain itself, will have to arm its supporters, North and South, and thfe army and navy will respond. In such a contest the issue cannot be doubtful. Con gressmen may be valiant fighters on the floor of Congress, but! when they come to lead their cohorts into the field it will be another thing. The real army and great soldiers of the Republic will be found fighting under the flag we adore. Notwithstanding the opposition of the Radicals, it is a determined fact that Andrew Johnson will serve out his con stitutional term of office. A telegraphic dispatch, received since the above was in type, states that the above article was not published in the President’s organ, and was not author ized by him. Caution to Boys. —These who drive cows with full bags should never make them run. This we may all know, but it is well to repeat what the cow driver may know perfectly, us it will freshen his feelings of kindness towards those useful domestic animals. It the cattle are lazy, and it is necessary to use force to make them walk smartly, a pliable stick should be employed. When a boy we were very fond of a whip of this kind, and used to save the skins of utl the eels caught, and dry them for lashes. It makes a loud crack, is good compa ny, and much feared by the cattle, which take care not to lag behind. Never threw at cattle stones or pieces ot wood, and never cause them to run, boys. The Signal says that Capt. Sweetraan, with a detachment of if. 8. Cavalry, has been in Dahlonega several days of the present week, investigating difficul ties between soldiers garrisoned there and citizens. Upon, investigation, he found the difficulties to be of a personal nature, hence, has returned to Hor ganton, from whence he came. —The Emperor of Brazil has just liberated the national slaves, the profits ot whose labors belonged 10 the Crown ; and large numbers of the freedmen, we learn, have entered the army, and are being forwarded in detachments to the seat of war. This looks like the first step towards the general emancipation in Brazil—at least, it is so regarded j?y the Abolition party of the Empire.— N. Y. Tribune. Sj) Imcgfapljsir Trti THIE AeSortlA'rKD PRESS. FROM WAEHIHGTOIL Congressional. n rw • WASUtNOTP-M, Jan. 2*—P. M. Mr. Vilson pretented a petition from the Aijjutnnt General of Arkansas to tbe effiset that that State furnished ter thousand Union soldiers, and asking that a record of their services be printed. Mr. Wilson gave notice of a bill to increase and equalize the pay of army officers. Messrs. Lane, Trumbull, and Bucka lew were appointed a conference com m»t|fe on sHsfgreyments regarding the 'aiffcihfnient of Pension Agents. jfliiTl to regulate judicial proceedings and amend the act relative to habeas corpus was passed, and goes to the President.

In answer to question, Mr. Stevens said he would dispose of his Enabling bill some way to-morrow. Adjourned., „ x luikCclluueou«. Washington, Jan. 25—P. M. Pomeroy, Harper, and DeFrees, Oj the Currency Committee, opposed Ran dall’s Gold bill. The balance of the Committee favor it. General Thomas will testify relativ 6 to the transfer of Southern Railroads. The Tribune's special says Thomas acted under special orders from the President. The Ways and Means Committee will report against changing the present rate of retiring greenbacks. Grant's spring visit to Europe is authoritatively denied. • Honduras advices state that a body Os Yucatan Indians invaded the Mahogany District, threatening to break up the works and raid the city. Business is suspended. A special to the Philadelphia En quirer closes its account of Stevens’ action with—“ This ends the prospect for Territorial Governments at the South for this session.” The Maryland Legislature passed the Enfranchising act, restoring Confede rates. The Tennessee House declared the seat of Jackson District vacant, the Representative not being sufficiently loyal. The National Republican denies publishing an article credited to it, fa voring armed resistance to Congress, which was accompanied by a stntemant that the article was authorized by the President. The Republican has the highest au thonty for saving that the article in question, published in the Constitutional Vnion, was not authorized by the Pres ident. The bill giving suffrage to the people of the territories regardless of color is a law from lapse of time, not by Presidential approval. FROM NEW YORK. New Yoks, Jan. 25—P. M. The Associated Press Ship News Reporter has compiled from his files a list of arrivals at this port during the year 1866, and it shows that there has been an increase over the arrivals ol 1865, in steamers, of, 163 ; ships, 78, and barks, 104.

A severe snow stonu, extending over the State, commenced last night, and still continues. The railroads are blocked. The Cincinnati Board of Trade adop ted the Central system in selling grain and changing the weight of a bairel o 1 flour to two hundred pounds, to take effect September 20th.

The Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Subscrip tion Society hbld 'tUil 'EMjty "TlMad Anniversary Meeting to-day. There was a slim attendance. Weudsll Phillips so id: “The North must be kept up to the level of devotion and sacrifice manifested by tho South. If the people are permitted td come down to the level where Henry Wilson trod, instead of being kept up where Boutwell and Sumner live, a change, of 5,000 votes will re elect Andrew John son, and Seward is' politician enough to get them. We must get Johnson out of the way, not to punish him, but be cause we need bis pluee to work from.” The President, he added, is a traitor, and the Supreme Court it poisoned with disloyalty. Congress must absorb the Government and save it. THE MARKETS. Financial. New York, Jan. 25—P. M. Money little closer towards the close. Capital not so readily obtained at 7 on call.
