CARELESS DRIvNe.-A driver of cart was ar
rested yesterday for wifully driving on the track
and against Car No. 2 near the corner Of King
and Calhoun streets. These cases should be made
examples, az it customary for drays to take the
track and frequently delay the car several min
utes before they can be induced to leave. In many
instances it is the result Of careless driving but
the drivers occasionally dispute the right Of way
wifully.

CONFERENCE OF TUE BOARD OF TRADE WITH Go
VERNON ORB.-MessIs. Edwin Bates, Henry Cobia,
G. Froneberger, W. Iurney, G. w. Clark, and NJ.
Strauss, committoe Of the Charleston Board OF
Trade, were in conference yesterday morning with
Governor Orr in relation to the State taxes 1t Is
hoped that much good may result from the inter-
view, ss it will probably place the committee in
communication with General Candy upon the same
subject. The State taxes are q grieyous weight
upon this impoverished city, and our interests
may be safely left in the care of the able gentle
men whose names have been mentioned.
No DELAY IN CoTToN SHIPMENTs.-The unusual
rush of cottons during the past two weeks created
q temporary delay which has now been entirely
overcome The cargo Of steamship Charleston
went directly from the cars to the steamer, with
hardly pause in its transit. The large steam
facilities arranged for win enable the most distant
shippers to count with certainty on the most
thorough dispatch. With Savannah and Ports
mouth IN asrear, and requiring further time to
work on accumulated stocks, Charleston offers
Inducements which are being availed OF by many
who never before shipped this way.

AN AppARrTIoN.--The huge elephant attached
to the circus had quarters assigned him in
Sprigg's stables, but not admiring the locality,
she stole march on her keepers and took moon
light ramble through the streets about the hour
when graveyards yawn. AS few besides ghosts
and policemen are visible at that time, she pursu-
ed her way unmolested through several streets
eo, rbo pnaatiOo nOllcp-
men. There is no telling where her rambles
would have ended if she had not encountered some
belated darkies on her route. These did not wall
to PROFOUND the querry 'Be thou spirit OF health
or goblin damned" but fed incontinently. The
alarm was given by the affrighted fugitives, ant
the ponderous beast conveyed to her former quar-
ters- ..
