Nun1sdATros.-A friend yesterday showed us
great curiosity in the shape Of Austrian copper
coin, bearing date 1876. zThe coin is known as
h''euzer, and is equivalent to about two-thrds of
o cent United States coinage The Kreuzer is the
unit of value in many Of the German States; sixty
KreuzeT make form, g,dden or guitder, and two
and-a-haf Of these equal in value to an Ameri-
can silver dollar. This coin was found in digging
q well in this city. Although the surface was con-
siderably abraded, the inscription is still quite
legible. With POPE we may exclai1n stNot that
the thing Is either rich or rare, but the wonder is
how the d it got there"

Affairs In the state.

The fdgefeld Advertiser says: On Sunday last
an into~restIne-littIc son Of Lee Holson, Esq, six
or seven years Of age, was found dead by the road
side. He was ridins&&9e from church, on horse
back, in advance OF thc< aN.aSc III which rode his
mother and is supposedly Lave fallen or been
joltcd from the saddle, and been kicked by
The horse afterwards. When foN~Se was already
dead, his skull having bee brok6N.
The Columbia Phoenix describes the kNrna-
ment in that place ON Christmas day as follow E:
About ten o'clock, the Columbia Knights" con-
g~regatcd in front of the ruins of Christ Church,
and with gaily painted and decorated %lances, pre-
sented Il beautiful appearance, as at the word of
command they formed into column, and sped at
the top-most speed OF their horses to the fitting
ground. 1t was plain to be seen that, although
there was some excellent fitting, it was very evil
dent that several of the knights, rs we'll as their
steeds, were unused to the sport. One could not
be brought to the scratch by any amount OF coax
ing and beating; another evinced q disposition to
go at the crowd, instead of at the rings whites still
another went it backwards" The greatest sOod
humor prevailed among the horsemen as well as
the spectators. The following is 4 list Of the
knights who joined in the tilt; Charles Radcliffe,

The excess of the cost Of transportation issued
over that of last year arises from the large num-
Der OF ~colonists who left Charleston, by sea, for
Florida and Texas, together with tho necessary
expenses incurred by the transportation OF sup
plies furnished by government aud contributions
from Northern societies from this city to the 'rte-
rior OF the State. This latter item amounts to
more than one-half of the aggregate expenditure
for transportation.
1t will be seen by reference to tho report OF
money expended tor educational purposes, that
the amount is also largely in excess Of last years
appropriation. This arises from the erection OF
moro expensive and permanent buildings for
school-houses.
Buildings have been erected in the following
places:
One IN the city of Charleston at a cost OF SIT 1000.
Ono in the city of Columbi at a cost of $4,000;
and a less expensive class of buildings in the
smaller towns Of the interior, amounting In the
aggregate to SAG, AS 06.
REPORT OF RESTORATION OF ABANDONED PROPERTY
AND BUSINESS OF THE ACTING ASSISTANT ADJU-
TANT GENERALS OFFICE.
During the year the following number OF plan
tations have been restored 81 plantations, lnclu-
ding 1883 acres: 6 houses; 9 lots, and 2 schools,
have be9n restored in this city. But g small amount
OF property now remains on the books of the Blu
reau, the annual rent of which amounts to 1878.
In closing 1 wish to add a few words, expressive
of commentator to The officers Of my staff, and
the other officers. and agents on duty in this Blu
rcau, to whose arduous iabors, and heartfelt inter-
est, in the welfare of the people OF this State, L

Things In New York.
CHRISTMAS sERvIcEs-THE RrTUALIsTs-GRAND Ex-
CURsIoN pARTY--THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

AVIAN a"A hAH 0HA WV
The New York correspondent Of the Philadel.
phia Ledger, writing on Christmas eve, says:
Services of q very peculiar character are to be
held in honor of Christmas at some of the Epis-
copal churches of the Naclarian school-St. Al
BANS, of course, leading of. The rector announces
that the ''vespers" Of tho Nativity will be cello
brated tonight; after which will follow another
service towards midnight. In the morning
and during the afternoon there will be other cere-
monies not usually seen in Episcopal churches
professedly Protestant.
This afternoon there were more than seventy
lights burning inside of the %chancel, and many
persons, besides the parishloners, are present to
witness tho sight, which is admitted on all hands
to be tho most picturesque manifestations Of what
Is known as advanced ritualism" which has ever
been witnessed in this diocese.
Some excitement was caused in political circles
this afternoon by a report that the President had
determined to remove General Pope from the COM
mand of the Fourth Military District, and to APP
point General Meade in his place. as the author
lily of the statement is a near relative OF the Presi-
dents, at present stopp Ms in this city, there may
be something in 1t.
Another grand Pacific Railroad excursion is on
the tapis, Tor tho benefit of the Wall-streot bank
crs and brokers principally. The intention is to
go the whole le1gth of the road, and as near the
Rocky Mountains as possible (some SIX hundred
miles WcSC OF Omana). Inc guests Will pc llul-
tied TO two hundred and fifty, and they will include
many OF the most prominent men of the street.
The whole distance to BIO travelled will be about
two thousand miles.
Az usual, at this season, there is very little do.
ing in the dry goods trade. The reopening Of COM
munication with the interior, during the past few
days, has caused q slight revival In some depart
ments; but even that is now subsiding, and nc
general activity can be looked for until after the
New Year. Agents are anxious to sell, while job
bers are not anxious 60 purchase. The stock Of
unbleached domcstics being comparatively small,
with q moderate demand, prices on some OF the
~favorite marks have advanced ! cent per yard. IN
foreign goods there is no movemen worth speak
ing Of. The imporlations continue light.

To the Readers OF the Daily Nevs-Our
New Terms-The Cash System.

The announcement that on and after the first
of January the subscription price of THE DAILY
News will be reduced to Six Dollars a year has
been received with many substantial marks of
appreciation by the public, both in the city and
State. But in order to publish a frst-class
paper at that low price, we shall be compelled,
in future, to adhere vigorously to the cash sys-
tenn. and require, invariably, the payment Of
subscriptions in advance. 1t should be gener-
ally understood that everything required for
the publication of a newspaper-composition,
paper, press-work, labor, and expenses oil
every description-must unavoidably DE PAID
for in CASH at the end of every week. If the
credit system is tolerated, and subscribers
neglect to pay promptly, the losses thus in
Cured by publishers in a little while become
intolerably onerous and oppressive.
There are hundreds, however, in our city
who, though anxious to take a live newspaper,
and willing to pay for it, can ill afford, at this
time, even the small outlay of six dollars
To accommodate this class of readers, we
have made arrangements by which,, on and
after New Years Day, THE DAILY News will
be delivered, Every morning, before seven
o'clock, in a4parts of the city, by attentive
and experienced newsmen, at EIGHTEEN CENTS
WEEK, payable weekly.
The advantages of this plan are evident at a
glance. Those who take their papers upon the
weekly system only pay out their money, week
by week, as their papers are received they
run no risk; they can stop their paper at any
time by giving one weeks notice; when they
leave the city for q few weeks they can suspend
their papers, and be at no expense. The yearly
cost at the weekly rate is more than when the
subscription at our advertised rates is paid in
advance at our office; but there is every reason
to believe that the new plan will, by its sim
plicity, security, and the smallness of the cash
expense, enable many persons to take a daily
paper who could not become subscribers for as
long a period as six, or even three months. 1t
is our desire to accommodate all classes of
readers, and those who are not able to pay
their subscriptions in advance can take advan-
tage of the weekly arrangement, which will go
into operation on January l, next.

GREAT SUFFERING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
SERIOUS REVOLUTION IN YUcATAN, &C.
HAVANA, December 26.-The Virginia, from Vera
Cruz on the 2Oth, via Sizal on the 23d, brings City
of Mexico dates to the 10th. There was much
misery throughout the country in consequence OF
exhaustion and Reorganization from the war. The
people we're compelled by hunger to resort to
brigandage.
Peace has been re-established at Tepico and
several pirate prisoners liberated.
The revolution in Yucatan was assuming serious
proportions. Santa Anna had been proclaimed Die
tator, and was hourly expected from Havana with
men and one million in money. The fort and town OF
Sizal we're in the hands of the insurgents, but the
port was blockaded by two Mexican gunboats. A
number Of Imperial officers arrived at Slzal from
Matamoras on the 10th. The coast of Yucatan
was closely watched to prevent any landing from
the Mexican steamers. Tobasco is ready to sail
from Vera Cruz for the scene of the revolution
with five hundred men and artillery. Santa Anna
was still in Havana.
