December Sales. —Yesterday being the
regular sale day for the current month,
there was quite a large attendance at the
Market House. The number of spectators,
however, seemed to be largely in excess
bidders. A large amount of valuable real
estaTe had been advertised to be offered, but
little demand seemed to have been devel
oped for that class of property, and the
larger part was withheld from the block,
while considerable of that which was offer
ed, in consequence of the low ruling of the
bidding, was withdrawn and bought in by
interested parties, to be offered at a more
opportune time. An unusual number ol
horses and mules were sold—about seventy
head of all grades—and brought generally
low prices for the quality. We append the
bone fide sales made by the respective auc
tioneers:

The Business of the Geougta Rail
road.—lt must indeed be gratifying to the
stockholders and friends of this road to
know that under its present able and suc
cessful management, a magnificent business
is still maintained. From Superintendent
S. K. Johnson, who, in his position, has
fully demonstrated himself a real live, ener
getic, capable officer, in the control of the
working operations of this great and im
portant thoroughfare of freights and travel,
we have obtained the figures, in round
numbers, of the past month’s operations,
indicating the gratifying prosperity of the
road:
Gross earnings for November, 1869. $137,000
Gross earnings for November, 1868. 94,000
Increase in November, 1869, over
same month in 1868.. .• $43,000
The gross earnings for the months of
September, October and November, of 1869,
show an excess in the aggregate, over a
corresponding period in 1868, of $185,000
an average of $45,000 excess per month.
The Reason Why.—On Sunday last
twenty-three colored persons of this city
were baptized in the Savannah river.—
Daring the performance of the rite, a gentle
rain was falling, and the candidates for
immersion, as they were successively pre
sented to the preacher for baptism, were
sheltered under umbrellas borne by some
of the “ brederen.” This struck a friend o/
ours as being somewhat novel, inasmuch
as they were ro soon to be thoroughly
saturated with the element. To solve the
problem, he queried a saintly colored sister
as to why the umbrellas were used, and
received In reply: “ Coz, we don’t b’lieb in
sprinklin Onr friend asked no further
questions.
Arrival of the Steamer San Anto-
NIO .—Contrary to information announced
yesterday morning, this steamer, recently
placed on the Savannah river as the con
sort ol the steamer Swan, steamed up to her
wharf at half past 2 o’clock in the after
noon, bringing the portion of her cargo not
shipped by the lighters sent to relieve her
from Bugg’s bar. She brought from Savan
nah a very heavy shipment of through and
local freight. The Augusta agents of the
San Antonio are Messrs. Osley, Wilson &
Cos. Owing to a slight rise in the river
yesterday, she was enabled to reach this
city, but left on her return trip in the after
noon, to avoid detention on account of a
lower stage of water in the prospective.
Periodical and Newspaper Agency.
—The proprietors of the Emerald , the pop
ular illustrated Irish paper, published in
New York, announce that they have se
cured the services of Mr. Silas J. Gary, of
this city, as general agent in the South for
their journal. Mr. Cary also represents
the XlXth Century , published in Charleston,
and several other periodicals. We com
mend Mr. Cary and the publications
which he represents.
A Swedenborgian Missionary.—The
Rev. Louis H. Tafel, the Swedenborgian
Missionary for Georgia, South Carolina and
plorida, is lecturing in Charleston.
Newcomb’s Minstrels.— This exceed
ingly popular company of “burnt cork”
dramatists will open in this city on Mon
day night. Newcomb, whom scores of our
readers will remember as occupying the
front-rank in charcoal amusements years
ago, is at the head of the troupe. The com
pany is highly endorsed by the press in the
different cities where they have appeared.
The Norfolk Journal, in speaking of the
troupe, says:
The troupe comes among us heralded by
the press as a first class institution, and
the greatest combination of professional
talent in the “ burnt cork ’’ business. New
comb is the head and front of this com
pany. He now stands alone as one of the
originals in negro minstrelsy. We recol
lect him years gone by, with Matt. Peel,
Dumbarton, Dau. Emmet, the author of
Dixie, and many others, and have looked
upon his “ Essence of Old Virginny ” and
wondered. Newcomb is known “ from the
green mountains of New Hampshire to the
tepid waters of the Gulf” as one of the “old
originals.” For years we have not seeu
him, but from what we hear of him and his
troupe in the papers, he has improved in
this age of progress, and kept up with the
march of time in all the eccentricities of
the charcoal persuasion. Jim Johnson is
said to be a bright particular star in his
specialities, and funny as a whole conven
tion of plantation “ mokes.”
A Silver Ware Thief. —Anna Brown, of
the bright buff hue, was arraigned before Ju
stice Ells yesterday morning, charged with
larceny of four pieces of table silver ware,
of the value of $25, the property of Mr. J.
S. Wilcox, of Summerville. The property
having been restored, and the prisoner ex
hibiting signs of penitence after conviction,
she was allowed to go without punishment,
at the instance of the prosecutor.
Enticing to Advantage. —Dry goods
dealers will find in the advertisement of
Messrs. V. Richards & Bros., of the popu
lar Fredericksburg Store, a prominent dis
play of leading articles and low prices
worthy of attention. Retail purchasers
continue to reap the advantage of the bar
gains dispensed at the counters of this es
tablishment in all the latest novelties. •
The Presidency of a Florida Rail
road. —The Columbia (S. C.) Phoenix men
tions that Col. James G. Gibbej, of that
city, has been tendered the Presidency of a
Florida railroad. Should Col. Gibbs ac
cept, the Floridians will find that they have
added anew locomotive to their road, who
is capable of pulling a very heavy load up
the steepest grades.
Recorder’s Court. —The following fines
were imposed by the Recorder yesterday
morning:
J. B. Blevins, for violation of the 18th

The Murder of Charlie E Sher
wood.— The painful and startling uews
reached the city on Sunday morning last
that Charlie E. Sherwood, a highly esteem
ed young man, about ]9 years old, who was
raised in this city, and was a sou of Mr. A
F. Sherwood, had been shot on Friday
night last, in Hillsboro, Jasper county, Ga.,
by some unknown person.
All that we have learned of the sad af
fair is, that lie was going from the store in
which he was employed to his boarding
house—Mrs. Weldon’s—soon after dark,
and when within twenty or thirty steps of
the house, he was shot with a pistol in the
back, near where the eighth rib on the left
side joins the spinal column, and from the
effects of which he died in about twenty
four hours. He had been requested by two
or three gentlemen,- just before supper, to
walk over to the store with them, and bad
declined. The gentlemen went without
him, but sent back requesting him to come
to the store. Charlie then went, but just
as he was entering the store door a Mr.
Benjamin Waste rudely pushed him back,
or ran against him. Charlie asked why he
did so and what was wanted, bat receiving
no satisfactory reply and feeling offended,
he remarked that, if they wanted nothing
he would return to the house, and started
back with the result as above given. Be
fore dying, lie repeatedly stited that Mr.
Waste was the man who shot him, and
jealousy was the cause.
