THE ORPHAN Cu1LDREN.-wc have heard with
great pleasure that these wards Of the city will in
short time, return to their old and comfortable
habitation-the Orphan Asylum Two years ago.
when it was found that this building was in danger
of being struck by shells, it WAS determined to
send tho children and the officers of the institution
out OF tho city, and elegant building in Orange
burg having been rendered by charitable gem
tlcman Of Charleston to the City Council for their
nse, they sent there, and have remained there
ever SINCE These poor children, We have no doubt
have passed through n great deal OF trouble in
this time, although they did not suffer from the
ravages of war, for we have been told that when
General SuERMAS's corps passed through that
place the orphans were treated with a great deal
of-courtcsy and kindness The grief of the child
was their troube-leaving the only happy home
they had ever known, for one they had never heard
Of must indeed have been painful to their little
hearts; and though they have had all the comforts
while there, that could be obtained, feel salts
fed their eyes will glisten brighter, and their
breasts beat with moro joy, when their feet again
press the soil Of their happy old home.
RoBBERY-On Monday night last the residence
of gentleman, at the corner of Bee and Ashley
streets, was entered, and four bags of rice and
one of peas stolen therefrom. The theft was COM

engaged in it, that it was not discovered until
morning.
We arc also informed that upon the same night
two OF three attempts of similar kind were made
in Spring street. locality that we brought atten-

hope that some effort will bo made to stop these
midnight robbers in their present career, and
allow the residents of this portion Of our city to
enjoy little quiet and rcpose.

day night last, two negroes cNtered the premises
