Charleston Correspondence.—We pub
lish to-day the ftrsj letter from our Charleston
correspondent, who will hereafter furnish u. 4
regularly with private intelligence from that
city. “Sigma,” we may here say is Mr. Henry
Sparnick, a warm, personal acquaintance of our
own, a native Carolinian aud a gentleman of
scholarly repute and tino information. He is
already far from unknown In the world of let
ters and wo anticipate much interest and adv»n=
tage to our readers from his communications.
The Trade of Boston.—The Boston Trav
eller says that, with the single exception of
Portland, Maiue, the entire commerce of New
England centers in Boston. Once Salem,
Gloucester, Portsmouth, Newburyport, New
port, Providence and New Haven had au ex- :
tensive commerce with India, South America,
Africa and the West Indies, but it has all de
parted. Once in two or three months a bark
or brig from Africa arrives at Salem, but that
harbor is now mainly used for coal schooners
and coasters in the summer time. Gloucester
has not a single square-rigged vessel left.
Lost.—A liberal reward will be paid to the
tinder of a collecting hook, containing several ’
promi**ory notes, of no value to anyone but the
owner, by leaving it at this office. This book
was lost near the Lower Market last Friday
night.
Our Special Correspondence from Charleston.
Burning of the Steamer Gen. Hookei — St. Pat
rick's Dag — The Military Commission—Busi
ness Prospects, Ac., Ac., Ar.
Charleston, March a!?, ISM.
Our harbor was, on yesterday, the scene of a
painful disaster. The steamer Gen. Hooker,
one of a line of packets plying between George
town, S. O. and this city, took tire on her out
ward passage, just in the inner side of the bar,
and in fifteen minutes was completely destroy
ed. Eight or nine lives were lost and over fifty
thousand dollars worth of property were
destroyed. Amongst the victims were tiirce la
dies from Georgetown, one of whom was the
daughter of the Mayor of that city, and was en
route for her home from a school in Philadel
phia, where she had just completed her educa
tion. A rigid investigation lias failed to dis
cover file origin of the Arc. It was surmised
that the boat was running a race with the Pilot
Boy, a steamer of the opposition line, which
had started from this city at. the same time with
the Gen. I looker, but the testimony of all of i
the officers who were rescued is adverse to the
supposition. A thorough examination of the j
passengers and crew was made by the coroner, j ;
during tin* progress of the inquest held on the
bodies recovered, but all that could be estab
lished with reference to the origin of the lire i
was the fact that it was first discovered issuing ■
from the bunkers, and it is plausibly presumed
that the wood used for the engine iiad become
ignited by accident. The boat, was owned in '
Boston am! was a favorite with the, traveling I
public.
St. Patrick’s day was celebrated here very
rauch in the style which obtained before the r
late war. There was an unusually large parade f
of the Irish Society, Hibernians generally and f
Fenians In particular. The only difference be- j
tween the former times and the present was j
the noticeable absence of the swallow-tail green s
coats/tlic bristling muskets of the Irish Volun
teers, and ( lie militia bands which used to make K
daylight hideous, with the shrill notes of “St.
Patrick’s day in the monT.-a-.” The latter t:
luxuries nre denied the boiis of Green Erin, in u
eommou with the rest of us -who are “ unhnr
tnonizefi.” The, good fellows atoned for their
deprivations, however, in a very satisfactory
way. The morning was spent in parading,
speech making, and congratulation, and the
evening in pledging the “ old land yet” over
the victimized turkey and the swimming bowl.
Contrary to the expectation of the public gen
erally, there were no wars or rumors of wars to
mar the pleasure of the festive day. From the
Northern Lakes hame the welcome cry, “ all
quiet on the St. Lawrence to-day,” and the
O’Mahoney and Sweeney bugbears dwindled
down gracefully as the cup passed round. Not
that the Irishmen here arc opposed to the un
born Republic, but, unless your correspondent
is greatly mistaken, the larger proportion of
them regard its prospects ns purely chimerical,
although they arc all willing to strike a blow
for Ireland’s freedom. It is hut natural, how
ever, with the vivid picture of our own disas
ter, (in which they shared,) before our own
eyes, that they should hesitate to “kick against
the pricks.” If there Is any reasonable certainty
of success for Fenianism it will meet with a
hearty and gallant support front the adopted
Irish of South Carolina.
The'military commission, which was organ
ized two mouths since in this city for the trial
of four citizens of Anderson District, for the
murder of three Federal soldiers at Brown’s
Ferry, in that Distriet, in October last, is still in
session, One of the accused, Mr. F..G. Stowers,
is a native of your State, and was at one time
the representative of Hart county in the Senate
of Georgia. His trial hug been concluded, hut
the (hiding of the. court is not yet published.
The evidence in all the cases is purely circuin
stautial, and will hardly convict, particularly as
a new feature has been developed very much in
favor of the accused. One of the horses of the
guard, which were carried away at the time of
the murder, has been found in the possession of
a notorious outlaw, and fully identified. The
rascal, however, made good his escape.
Very little progress is made in re-building the
city. Money is very scarce here, and those who
were fortunate enough to have saved anything
from the ruins of the Confederacy have generally
invested their all in. cotton. Business has im
proved very much since the completion of the
South Carolina road to Columbia, and the
North Eastern to Branehville, hut the terrible
delay which has occurred in the repair of the
Hamburg branch of the former has dealt a fear
ful blow to the interests of this city, while i
lias been perfectly providential to our neighbor,
Savannah. The road connecting that city with
this its rapidly under way, and we have the
promise of completion of all the roads in the
State by the first of June.
Notwithstanding the mauy drawbacks, the
spring trade has opened very briskly in Charles
ton. The stores in Hayne, Meeting and East
Bay streets are groaning with goods, and it is
the boast of the merchants, sustained by the tes
timony of buyers, that purchasers will find it to t
their advantage to buy here in preference to
going to New York.
We have not suffered from the want ol
amusements of late, Dan Costello, Artemus
Ward, Max Strakoseli, and others have contri
buted to our pleasures, and now the Poznauski
brothers, to the manor born, and bringing with
them a reputation acquired in the fastidious
musical world of Europe and the North, are an
nounced in a series of concerts for week after
next.
The health of the city is very good, if we ex
cept the prevalence of small-pox. This is con
fined pretty much to the freedmen, and is now,
fortunately, upon the decline. To-day we are
enjoying a very fair rain, the first for five weeks.

The Vicissitcpes op Life.— There died in
this city a few days ago a woman whose life has
been a strange admixture of good and ill for
tune —of opulence and indigence. Her name
was Louisa Sleyce, a native of Canada, and de
scendant of a very old family of that name.
She came to St. Louis from Canada some forty
five years ago, being at the time a young lady,
to pay a visit to some relatives living in that
eity. While there she was a great deal in so
ciety, and met a man of whom she became
enamored, and finally eloped with him to New
Orleans. Every inducement was held out by
her friends for her return, but she refused to
listen to their counsels. To avoid their con
stant solicitations she, with her paramour, re
moved to Ruatan Island, in the Bay of Hondu
ras, and in time became very wealthy. Her
betrayer dying there, she was stripped of her
property by an unprincipled rouge of an Eng
lishman, and was forced to depend upon the
charity of the captain of a fruit schooner for a
passage to the States. She arrived in New Or
leans about thirty years ago, penniless, and has
at one time since then been possessed of prop
erty to the amount of over SIOO,OOO, but mis
fortune again overtook her and she died desti
' tute, at the age of sixty-five years.

ble for railroad companies to state their net

over dividends declared for the entire year.

“ New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24,1863.
Dear Sir: I have beon afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and
hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
Homo friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bittern, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine glassful after dinner. Feel
ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could sleep the night through, which I have not
done for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by the
uso of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”

Alton, 111., they gave me a bottle of Plantation Bit
ters. * * * Three bottles restored my speech and
cured me. • * *

Dr. Draee : Your wonderful Plantation Bitters
have been given to some of our little children suffer
ing from weakness and weak lungs, with most happy
effect. One little girl in particular, with pains in her
head, loss of appetite and daily wasting consumption,
on whom all medical skill had been exhausted, has
boon entirely restored. We commenced with but a
teaspoonful of Bitters a day. Her appetite and
strength rapidly increased, and she ib now well.

TIIE Artificial Legs and Arms (Urea’s Patent)

the unqualified approval of the most skillful and dis
tinguished Surgeons and men of science in France and
England ; and after the closest and most rigid exami
nation in this country, a Commission was. issued bj
the Surgeon General of the United States, in his
“ Circular Order,” May 13th, 1865, to have them fur
nished to each soldier who had lost a limb in the Fed

and so simple in their construction that a common me- !
ebaniccan make any necessary repairs inn few min- [
ntes, and so strong that it is Impossible to solit it with !
an axe or break it with reasonable force.
We imitate nature to the life, and make the limb
the shape of the corresponding leg or arm, and finish
it ns perfectly as possible. The natural motion yen
often is so perfect that in large number ol'cases it fs
impossible to tell which is the artificial from the sound
limb.
THE ARM
is of the age and challenges the admiration
of the world. A person whose stump is one nr more
inches in length and retains a Healthy degree of force
and rigidity, can, with this arm, at will,
Raise the Artificial Hand to his Mouth, Forehead or !
even to the top or back of liis Head,
Put on or take off his Hat,
Carry liis Valise or Cloak,
Use the Hoe, Axe or Plough Haudles,
Roll a Wheelbarrow,
And by securing a knife, fork, pea, nail bruin or other i
implement into the part of tlie hand prepared for it,
be can
Cut Ids Food and Carey it to his Mouth,
is equally as useful and' beautiful, and as perfect r.
piece of mechanician! as tho arm. The ankle joint Is !
so constructed as to give tho natural motion with the I
assistance of tho toe joints to tha foot, which heigg j
connected to the upper part of the log by artificial
cords running over pulleys, secures a proper lever !
