O'NEn..
The next was case Of considerable interest.
Tho United States ps. Jackey, colored-Emma
sworn, testified that she lives in Cook Row, CAL
houn-street; that defendant is her husband; and
had been boatin' Of her, when her brother came
up, and defendant asked him swat you want2 You
got nofin to do here" "My brudder say: he no
come for quarrel, but jes want to talk to you
bout my sister, and do only sister I got" He
Defendant, say, get way from here, an wild dat
he stabbed him in here [ponting to the breast].
Us all didn't know he had knifo in he hand. My
brudder now lying very sick, cannot raise from dis
cut (Knife about three inches In length, pocket
knifa.)
At this stage Of the case, the Judge terminated
the Examination for the present, and entered upon
anosher, that consumed great part Of the time
Of the Court. This WAS one Nelson, freedman,
who stands charged with obstructing the public
highway, in refusing to move his dray, (empty at
the time), on Accommodation Wharf, 80 as to al
low tho mail and express wagons to pass. On
being reminded Of the city ordinance in such
cases provided, he remarked, in not very polite
language, that he did not care for the Mayor nor
for anybody else.
Associate Judge BURGER being the only member
OF the Court present. no decrees were given at
least not up to the time we left. l
The Courtroom is quite email, and the attend
ance of witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, counsel
and guard, both black and white very numerous
indeed.
Tho number OF civil suits before this Court are
constantly increasing. Some OF these are of great
interest," and involving large amounts Of property.
THE SCHOONER ENcHANTREss.-This vessel, we
notice, was cleared yesterday with another large
and valuable cargo We think this is the third ves-
sci that has gone to Havre. Her cargo is as fol-
lows:
1882 bales Upland Cotton. weighing .4e4, SOC lbs
At bales Sea Island Cotton, Weighing 1887 lbs.
1879 bales sos. .2os lbs
Value Of cargo. .$189 3s9 90
We congratulate Mr.. WILLIAM ROACH upon the
dispatch with which he has loaded all Of these
vessels, and we wish them successful voyages.
CLINIC AT THE MEDICAL CoLLEaE.-We took occa-
sion to call public attention, short time ago, to
the Pocinic established under the auspices of the
Faculty Of the Medical College, and at the re-
quest of some Of the gentlemen connected with it
we do 30 again.
1t is gratifying to know that this charitable en-
terprise has succeeded admirably; 2 goodly num-
ber of medical and surgical cases attend regular
ly and as tho object and benefits become more
generally understood, the attendance will be
large. D..
1t will no doubt prove a useful attraction to
students in the coming winter session Of the In
stitution.
NEW DRUG SToRE.-Passing up King-street last
night, we were attracted by brilliant illumina-
ton at the northwest corner Of Market and King
streets. On entering the place we found it very
fa1 olo
filed with bran-new physic, the show full Of
fumery, &c. The fine soda fountain by the door,
we have no doubt, will prove the chief attraction
to the hot and tired Kingstreet walkers.
Drs. RAoUL & LYMAN, the new firm, are prepared
to answer all calls in their line, as per ADVERTISE
ment in another column. They are the City
Apothecaries for the Lower Wards.

POPULAR FALLAoY CONSCIENTIOUS Of the
haldeihations very prevalent all over the land is
that printers and editors live on air; that they
can set up and read the most seductive ADVERTISE
ments OF deicacies Of all kinds, and not have
their mouth water, but contentedly sit on that
tripod, sucking their philosophical thumbs. We
are glad to be able to announce the fact that all
are not TINS ignorant or calous. There is one
honorable exception at least-a man who has
'tistened to the voice Of reason" HENRY LAR
coMBE 10 his name. He instnctively knew that
writing heavy leaders was no light work, and that
easy reading was hard writing. He generously,
therefore, sent us most liberal supply of deli
cious Ice Cream but evidently was afraid to trust
us with his spoons. SO plates and spoons had to
be extemporized. But the Cream was very ac-
ceptable notwithstanding, and Henry has our
thanks and best wishes for a prosperous season.
His saloon and garden is ON the south eide OF
Calhoun street, No. s5.
MILITARY.-The Orangeburg (s. o. Times says
'fUnder the late orders from Washington reduc.
ing the army to peace footing, only two regi-
ments OF infantry will be left in South Carolina
which will reduce the garrisons to only few men
at certain central posts By the necessary changes
we are sorry to see that Captain NJ. BRYANT,
of the 9Th u & Infantry, leaves this post to take
command at Aiken, but his place is supplied by
Lieut. T. BRITToN with company Of the same
regiment. Our town was very much relieved by
the departure OF Col. E. A. KozLAY and his un
disciplined men, and we have enjoyed peace and
quiet since the Regulars have come among US
We have always had respect for the regular Off
cers and men Of the United States army, WHIT
know how perfectly necessary discipline is to al
military operations, and enforce it, and we have
no doubt but that Lieut.. BR1rToNi will find hi
duties easy and agreeable in our enterprising ant
orderly town."
