PUGIIE, Proprietor, 190 Broad and 153 Ellis street. RiYEit News. —Express arrived Mon day night. The Two Boys, Express, and Baudy Moore left for Savaunah. River 5 feet 8 inches. Cool. —We received a note yesterday from a publishing house saying: ‘‘We have sent you one ‘Polar Sea.' ” What a delightful thing that would be to have in the dog dtiys. Everybody ought to have one. It will enable them to “keep cool,” in the hot season. The II r nlons, —This popular Com bination continue to astonish their audiences by their marvellous and varied performances. Anew feat is described in their advertisement, which will he performed to night. As this week positively closes their engage ment, parties who wish to see them should secure seats at once. “Quick Sales and Small Profits.”— This is the motto of the new Boot and Shoe Store of E. F. Blodgett & Cos., next door below Bones & Brown. They select their goods from the best manu facturers, being determined to give sat isfaction, and sell them at such rates as as will induce customers who try them once, to continue their patronage, f Trunk Robbery. —A trunk was stolon from the premises of Judge Gould, on Monday evening last, shortly after dark. The parties, who were freedraen, were seen to enter and take the trunk out, but it was not suspected that they had no business with it at the time. We understand that the trunk has been re covered liut the contents were gone. Fraternal. —The Masonic fraternity ot Charleston, gave the delegation of gentlemen of that order, who recently visited Columbia with gifts to the lodges of that city, a banquet at the Mills House. The occasion was entiuened by a happy interchange of speeches ami toasts; many of the latter, published in the Charleston papers, are singularly happy. We are requested by Dr. Couturier to say in reply to the communication addressed to him a few days ago, which appeared in this paper, that he is per fectly willing to do everything in his power to assist in the proposed enter tainment for the benefit of the family of Jefferson Davis, and the only thing necessary for the same being success fully carried out, is the consent of a few ladies to introduce vocal and instrumen tal music. i Recorder's Court. —There were quite a number of cases up before this tribunal yesterday. “John Barleycorn and Mr. Key, Had evidently got on a spree, And sipping strongly of Bacchus* cup Found themselves in the lock up.” t Four members of the 18th Section brigade, were filled $5 and costs, one $lO and costs, and one dismissed. One of the Corpa D'Afnqne, 18th Section, also joined in the general chorus of $5 and costs ; one struck off on a $lO stretch, “ all alone, ’’ as John G. Saxe says, and two others who had just been “ projickin” with each othen and one of whom bad a pair of arms that would have done themselves credit aaapairof sledge-hammers, paid $2 00 and costs, each. They expressed the upinion that the fun which they had had was “ worth it 1" One 17th Section case was fined $5 and costs. Ond 2d Section case was dismisssd; and one 16th and one 18lh Section case were continued. and cost*. Inscltiso.—We rccoi’ed a commu nication yesterday from an individual recommending to lh« liberality of the people, a lady «fe» bad loaf a ten ia the Confederate army, and who it nowin destitute circumstances. In* bis com munication he wes the following lan guage. “ She and her family are as worthy objects of eharity as Jefferson Davit and family.” » Tbi* juxtaposition—it ia very evident —ia intended as an insult to oar peopfe. If its author wished to | the lady referred to, any good, it was onlytnedfc sary to stats th* faei bf her indigence to the public to secure asaistanen for her. The people of Augusta ore Open handed and charitable, And they make SO distiuctious iu dispensing assistance to the needy, but they do not ask their enemies to tell them their'duty, or to taunt them with wbat they choose for the family ol their captive fellow-cit izeu iu Fortress Monroe. If our people choose to give of thsir own means to Mr. Davis and family, it ia no business of this individual, They do not ask him, and it he will attend to the busn ness of those who employ him, he will havo euougti to do, jyi(hoat interfering with the Charitable movements (ftf the benevolent people of Augusta. , . Homicide. —A man named J. W. Lockwood, residing in Barnwell Dis trict, was shot in the hpuse of, E. B. Rose, Solomons, one day last week. Both were gentlemen of good standing. Solomons was arrested, and is the jail at Waterboro’. As Bad as Andsrsonville.— There are eighty cases of scurvy in the South ern Indiana prison, and some Os the men are so badly affected that their teeth are falling out. Several men have died. They were fed on pork damaged at a fire. Better eat less pork, whether damaged by fire or not. Mr. Peabody's Donations.— The following is a list of the donations re cently made by Mr. Peabody: To the poor of London, $2,250,000; Town of Danvers, $60.0,00;, Grinnell Arctic ex pedition. $19,000; City of Baltimore $1,000,000; Phillips’ Academy, $25, 000 ; Massachusetts Historical Society. $20,001) ; Harvard Chllege, $150,000; Yale College, $150,000 ; to the South, $1,500,000. Total, 5,165,000. The Ctt.tVue of Cotton.— The suc cess which attended the Culture of cot ton last year in the vicinity of Peters burg, as well as in Other parts of lower Virginia, has so favorably impressed the agricultural public as to lead to its probable introduction into districts where the plant has hitherto been an entire stranger. It is stated on good authority that the tobacco planters of the fertile Danville district—the finest tobacco producing region in the State—have made extensive arrangements, by the purchase of fertilizers, for exchanging their former favorite crop, iu considera ble part at least, for that of cotton. Money Okdkbs.— The postal money order system is proving a great con venience, and is increasing in all our cities where such offices exist. In Sa vannah, the News says the Post Master averages twenty orders a day. Orders are issued in any amount not exceeding SSO; and not exceeding $l5O can be issued to the same person on one po3t office in one day. The fees of money orders are: 10 cents for an order not exceeding S2O, and 25 cenls for over S2O and not exceeding SSO. This s ys fein of transmitting small sums of mon ey is rapidly increasing in public favor, and Postmaster Harris now sells some 20 orders per day. Alabama Immigration Bill. A bill has been submitted to the Alabama Legislature by the Planters Convention at Selma, propasing that, upon the ap plication of parties before the Probate Court of any county lor laborers, accom panied by a bond to indemnify the expense incurred, the Judge may pledge the State to pay the necessary expenses of the immigrants applied for. That upon receiving the certificate of the Judge, the Governor shall issue a Treasury warrant in favor of the Judge sending the certificate, and that money shall be paid over to Commissioners of Immigration, of whom three shall be appointed—one to reside at Montgom ery, another at Mobile, and the third at such point as may be indicated by the Governor. Upon these commissioners will devolve the duty of obtaining and forwarding to the applicant, the immi grant laborers he desires. Singular Case. —The New York Times publishes a strange story ol a young lady in Brooklyn, who nearly a year ago was severely injured by her 'hoop skirt catching as she stepped from the cars, dragging her some distance. She suffered intensely from list injuries, and was thrown into spasms, aud finally her eye-lids and teeth closed, her limbs curled up, her right arm resting under her head. In this way she has lain about nine months, without taking nourishment. She appears to be in a clairvoyant state—reads any hook with out opening the lids—writes cheerful letters with her left hand—crotchets even in colors, holding the material back of her head, so that she can use the thumb and forefinger of her right hand which cannot bo moved. It is said that instead of becoming emaciated she is growing more handsome and healthy. It is stated that she is attend ed by one of the most eminent physi cians in Brooklyn, but ns uo names are given, we are not disposed to believe the story, which is going the rounds of the papers to tho extent ot a column, and we therefore trust our readers will excuse us for giving them only this i taste of the marvelous morsel. T- dny Twna fa doit The Republican* dfiNew Haouhir*hardiest held a convention in ted against the action of the Radftaf convention. They wind* no nofeien ' to uoteal lb* #3 MiSLilian was large. A Good Naml—Somebody, ini al luding to tins habit of naming American localities after living or deed after cities of the old world, says it would be better to adopt the nam«|i of the aborigines. He would call Gotham by its .Indian aune, Manhattan of New York, and urges that it would be most appropriate, too—since the meaning of Manhattan K “ The place where we all get drunk t” T a*ing Brbajd,—The impolitic course of the Radicals can only be explained on the old idea that ‘‘whom the gods destroy they first make mad”—dor legislation is of such a reckless Char acter as-cuqnat fall to tiring speedy* ret ribution, For instance, iu their late revision of the tariff the New Hjaven Register refers to the fact that the duty oh wheat was doubled and'placed at 40 cents per bushel; on jlour, etc., the duty was raised to 30 per cent, ad valoreifi 5 10 cents per bushel were imposed upon oats, and upon malt 40 per cent, ad va lorem.- An equally oppressive tax is to be imposed on another article of fore most necessity—that ia, upon salt. The present tariff is 160 per cent., which ia much higher than it should be; but the bill which has just past the Senate, raises the tax to 200 per cent. A tax on salt, much less oppressive than this, brought on the French revolution. But our people are less mercurial than those of France, and will wait more patiently for a Constitutional remedy ol their evils. GEORGIA ITEMS. The Georgia Citizen is to be moved to Americas. “Live Oak Clnb” is the name adopted by a Savannah Club. The Hernandez Troupe has been per forming in Dalton. A correspondent of the Cartersvilfe Express suggests the name of Lewis Tutnlin, of Bartow county, for Gov ernor. The Federal Union says that a little bov.employed in driving a cart on the Milledgeviile and Warrenton Railroad, near that city, was run over by his cart and killed, on Friday last. . The Dalton Georgian notices the completion of a foundry and maehine shop, and a grist and saw mill, in that city. The latter will manufacture fur niture. The Macon Telegraph notices the death of Rev. Milton Tillinghast, a .Colored preacher, of that city. He was a man of pure character, of great personal worth, and considerable talent. The Savaunah Advertiser says the British ship Pilgrim, from Liverpool, bound to this port, got ashore at Iloboy Inlet on Wednesday last, and now lies in a very critical condition. She was iu ballast, and consigned to Mr. E. A. Soullard. The same paper states that the ship Thomns Freeman had gone ashore at Valentia, on the coast ol Ireland. This ship was cleared on the sdi of Decem ber lor Liverpool, by Messrs. Brigham, Holst & Cos., vith a cargo 0f3,870 bales of upland Cotton and 19 bales of sea island. Alluding to the large amount derived from the last cotton crop, the Federal- Union says it is all gone, all passed away, and gone to enrich other people ; all gone in the pockets of our oppres sors. A large portion of it has gone to buy provisions, which the Southern Hunter could have made, and saved the money he got for his cotton. The Davis “ Tombola” is proving a great success iu Columbus. A great va riety of goods have been contributed by the merchants and citizens—among which is a bale of cotton. Every ar ticle contributed is to be labelled as a prize, and a ticket will lie distributed to each one who altcndg the concert to be given on the 2<?th. Mr. Peabody’s Gift. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier, “ Leo,” in his let ter of Feb. oth, says : The city, and I may say the country, turns aside from the ordinary routine oi ideas and occupations, to recognize the benefaction and benevolence of the great American Banker and Philanthro pist, Mr. George Peabody. The dona tions of Mr. Peabody for charitable and educational objects in England and America, have been unprecedently large. The commercial princes of modern days far excee'd in wealth and power the princes of the feudal ages. As we have, for good or bad rensons, destroyed the primogeniture love of the ante-revolu tionary period, no family ill the country can loug hold its wealth. Mr. Peabody Was never married. He adopted in his latter years his country as his child aud heiress. I saw tbe old gentleman to-day standing between Governor Aikin, ot bouth Carolina, and Winthrop, of Mas sachusetts. A more benign counte nance or more affable manner than wbat distinguished the Bourbon prince, liquid not well be imagined. On every side the congratulations were exchanged upon the bappy advent of an era of better feeling iu the coun try, aud the early and final restoration of the Union to its former condition of peace'and union, with the prospect of evet advancing power and prosperity. It is positively asserted here that the advent of Mr. George Peubody, and the expression of his good wishes for the South, as well as nis benefactions, has softened the feelings of the Radical extremists, and will lead the way to an ultimate restoration ot the excluded States, and the general prosperity of the whole country. Simultaneously with the promulgation of the great benefac tion by Mr. Peabody, was the defeat of' the extreme Radical pfirtv as led by Mr. Thad. Steven*ln (be Nbusfe. Tins too, opens to us anew and pleas ing piospeet. The rally. The Radieals divide and disperse. A few weeks, if the prqgeqt good feeling prevail? will lead ns intofhepfoper track to restoration, upon honorable 1 terms. ,/ Leo.

Sumner and Pomeroy advooated a oon s***• *! f G (X Mr. Howard aaid there should be no 00m promising on traficking in suoh an impor tant-matter. Mr. Sherman held that we could not reconcile the lfoase without abandoning the principle of the hill. The’opposition came, from extreme aides—one holding that ti)e States arc now entitled to representation, the other that ’twas too liberal. Mr. Hendricks 4idno{:think the President would shrink from acting,'if the hilt reached him. Mr. Pomeroy repeated Mb belief that it would not become a law this.session, either by eenftriaea or«t her wise. Mr. Lane opposed the Committee. The difference was elemental, fundamental. He was unwilling to abandon the Senate’s po sition. * ** • (% ' Mr. Wade thought tho matter too grave to entrust to a Committee at this stage of the session. Ho preferred beginning the matter again. Alluding to Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Wado said Mr. Fessenden's course iu being silent here, then going to tho House to try to defeat the bill might be honorable, but Mr. Wade did not like it. The discussion proceeded at great length, and w&s mostly of a personal character, showing an utter want of harmony. The Senate finally insisted on its amend ment, and refused a eommittou without a division. HOUSE. The House was full—the galleries crowd ed. Mr. Banks introduced a resolution allowing a national vessel to oarry contri butions of olothing and provisions to the dejtitute of the South'. Mr. Spalding ob jected; lest debate should follow. Mr. Sherman’s bill came up. A motion to lay the whole matter on the tablo was ldßt. Mr. Stokes attempted to read a telegram he had received from Tennessee, but was cried down. Taken on motion to coucur 73 to 98. A motion (or a committee of con ference was agreed to without division. Mr. Stevons, Rhellabarger and Blaine, con stitute tho committee. The report of the conference on the Ten ure of office bill was adopted. It inoiudes Cabinet officers among those whom the President cannot remove, 113 to 10. The Indian Appropriation bill passed. The death of Samuel Downing, the last Revolutionary soldier, was announced. A militia bill, giving a standing army of two regiments to each district, came up. The Democrats filibustered through the honr assigned it, and it goes over. The House wont into a Committee on the Military Appropriation. It gives tho Freedmen’a Bureau, for various items, $3,836,300. The second seotion makes a General of the Army’s headquarters at Washington. lie shall not be removed, suspended, relieved, or ordered elsewhere, without the approval of Senate. Any person issuing orders contrary to this act is guilty of misdemeanor, and punish able with imprisonment not less than two, nor more than thirty years. The vote to concur in the Senate amend ment was defeated, by,73. to 88. A commit tee of con fore n«o was appointed. The whole matter is dead for this session. Rcco.s. Miscellaneous. Washington, Feb. 19. Professor Bacbe is dead. Howell Cobb is hero. The Conference Committee on tlio tenure office bill agreed to include Cabinet officers. Mr. Saulsbury’s spesch, dennneiatory of Seward, creates talk. Passports have been abolished to Costa Rica. Quarantine regulations with Spain have been modified to only three days, provided no deaths occur during the passage. Tho Southern Loyalist’s Association, by resolution, oppose Sherman’s bill. The Senate struck out the clauso of the West Point appropriation, forflidding ap pointments from the Southern States. The Democrats and extremists voted against concurrence. Lovell H. Rosseau voted to oonenr. Unless both Houses act before midnight a pocket veto follows. Both the New York 7W6«weand Chronicle favored concurrence, but Stevens was too strong. No action is now probable after the Connecticut election, which occurs March 10th. If that goes Radical, harsh measures are deemed certain. Surratt is still on board the Swatara, off the Navy Yard. Washington, Feb. 7—P. M. Surratt has been eonfintd below deck, and is strongly guarded. His health is excellent, and he positively denies being Surratt. Marshal Goodwin has a warrant for him, issued ! by Judge Fisher. Access to him is denied, except by counsel. FEOM BOSTON. Boston, Feb. 19.
