MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY ii, 1857:
LOCAL. MATTERS.
To PRMrERs---A good compositor- steady, re-
liable man-can secure employment by application
at this Office.
RArF1E.-It will be seen, by an advertisement IN
another column, that the rattle for the Two ponies
will take place at the Billiard Parlor, opposite the
Mills House, tomorrow evening. Those ponies
have been generally admired, and considerable in
teresi Is felt in the result OF the die.
JOIN SHEPPARD, the great pedestrian, was at
tackled With oongest:ve chills on Sunday last,
which rendered him unable to proceed with the
herculean task which he had undertaken upon
wager of one Thousand dollars, viz: that of walk
ing one thousand miles in one thousand consecu-
Tive hours--one mile in each hour.
The stakes were handed over to Mr. WALTER
nnRE last evening at the Live Oak Club House.
Tad it not been for the very unfavorao.e anu
stormy weather whichw we have had for the past
week. it is Thought by his friends he would un-
doubtedly have accomplished the feat, as he was in
fine health and spirits up to the time he was taken
i'll. His attack was the result Of getting thorough
" drenched during the nights OF the 7th anu ON
instants with the rain.

American public It is now in the printers hands,
and will be issued from the press in few days.
DEPARTURE OF TIE HAN1oNs.-The HANLoNs
have gone, and Charleston has returned to It's sor
mer state Of tranquility. There is nothing now on
hand to 6isturb the even fow OF it's existence; no
shows Of any description, and the old city VIII
have to hunt about for some amusement 10 intuse
a little life in the community, and give them al
idea Of the outside world -, =; -.
During the time the HANloNs we're with u.s. We
we're suffering from a very disagreeable attack OF
the weather, which operated against the Troupe
Jary 'unfavorsbly.: Notwithstanding the aecommo-
dahon afforded by the street cars; many were un.
able to attend, and it was subject OF universal
regret that the skies were so unpropltous.
We have seldom enjoyed the pleasure OF seeing
performance in which, the actors we're more az
fat in their profession and where their feats were
more astounding. Notwiths tanding the smallnesa
of the Hall, and the absence Of all facilities to dis
play their their talents, the audiences were by no
means small, and when the inclemency OF the
weather is considered, Charleston was nightly wen
represented.
The HAN1oNs take with them our best wishes
fer their future success, and we sincerely hope that
they nav not encounter in Augusta such weeping
shes as greeted them in this city.
Mayors COURT February 9.-Samuel Orr, a care

Phoebe HARRISON, Norris Higgins, and q crowd OF

LIGHT L1aHr The proposal made. TO the city
by Nj. PozxANasr toapply his multiplying patent
to the street lamps, and thsfcby diminish the cash
expenditure, comes before. the City Council to-mor-
row night for consideration. This subject has
been laidover at the last two meetings, and it is
fair to presume win at lang be acted upon: The
Committee who were appointed to Investigate the
matter reported favorably;, and but for pressure
Of other business the proposal would have been
considered before.
One advantage resulting from the favorable de-
oision of the Council viii be the increase OF the
number Of lnmps, and thus give the city what she
has long needed, streets where darkness is ut q
discount At present many OF thsm are unsafe,
and ramble in the dark may be attended with un-
pleasant consequence
MIR. PozsANsK1s patent has been discussed 80
often that We do not wish to again discuss it's
merits; the facts are before the community, and it
