thieves. In this, as in nearly every natinee, they
we're successful, aud Officer LEVY found the rem
nants Of the pump in a junk shop. The keeper
gave the names of the freedman from whom he
had purchased the copper, and they we're soon
secured and lodged in jail The pump was so bat
tered and broken that it's identity was nearly de-
siroyed, and was bought as old copper Ihefts o1
this description will become more frequent if tae
thleyas can always find snch ready disposal of their
sillainops profits ss tho junk shops afford: These
sseps age general nuisance and are connected
ano -4's with nearly every robbery Of metals that
takes place in the city.

thorities must consequently wait until On edict Is

Rev JAfrss a. DUNCAN, Of Virginia, is expectedto
arrive in Lis city tomorrow. Although stranger
in Charleston, he is well known to many Of our
citizens, especially to such as spent any time in
Richmond during the war; Mr. DUNCAN, MI
through that period, was pastor OF one OF the
Methodist Churches in that city, and also the edi-
tor of the Richmond Christian Aduocate. He was,
perhaps The most popular preacher in Richmond,
and his church Broad street Methodist, afterwards
Centenary was always crowded. He is man OF
pleasing presence, good address, remarkably
fluent, of fine mental endowments, and very supe-
trior cultivation No wonder, therefore, that he is
the favorite of young and old at every place where
his ministrations may call him. We are glad that
Mr. CHApn, the interchangeable President Of the
Young Mems Christian Association, hes prevailed
on Mr.. DUNCAN to spend some time With us. He
is expected to PR ach in Trinity Church on Sunday
morning next, and on Sunday night to deliver g
lecture before the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton at the Citadel Square Baptist Church.
Mr. DUNCAN is not unknown in the upper part Of
South Carolina, having delivered addresses, ETC.,
at different times, if We are not mistaken ut Spar
tanburg, where his father is Professor Of Ancient
Languages of Woford College.
i. SPRING GooDs.-A lfo without some excitement
would not be worth having, and the calm retreats
Of philosophy are only read about. In the present
age some Little excitement is necessary to keep the
system in q healthy state, and, with few excep-
tions, shopping answers this purpose admirably.
King street is the grand thoroughfure where those
who wish to see the fashions and examine the
latest styles ceugregate. The fair sex are there
largely in the majority, and their demands for ar
ticles with unpronouncable names would puzzle
any one but an experienced clerk.
There is perhaps no place on King street where
there is greater variety Of goods, and where the
latest patterns can be sean to better advantage,
is large light and airy aud the stock unquestion-
ably of the newest styles of Spring goods. An
evidence of this is the crowds who daily attend to
select articles for Spring wear. MIR. Belts has
had large experience in the dry goods business,
and his stock is one of the most perfect in the
city, and those who have delayed making their
Spring purchases should do so no longer, but call
at No. 252 and be supplied.
DR.. LORDS LEcrunE.-The lecture which was
postponed from last Monday night, will be posi-
Chapel DR.. LORDS reputation as pulpit orator
is so extended that large audience is confidently
expected. The subject chosen is one of great in
terest, Bunyan's Pilgrim being almost household
companion, and any defonce Of his character will
be listened to with marked attention.
II is rare that rlcn like BUNYAN, who have raised
themselves by their own excrtions, escape the sian
ders OF their cotemporaries but in avery instance
these fall harnlcssly to the ground like the dir
thrown on CHRISTIANS robe. A comparison b.
tween ::the tinker poet and the poet tinker Cur
but result in proving the superiority of the former
although his antagonist may be more gifted.
\ Dr. LORD is AuHllTaDly SulGou GO ulbcuSS IneSe
points, and perhaps no one could have been select
ed who would be able to give the subject such Z
bearing as to make it both interesting and instruc
tive Lectures of this description are unfortunate
ly too rare in this city, ard should be attended
whenever an opportunity offers. St. Stephens
Chapel is in contral location, and with DR.. LORI
as tho orator, the Pilgrim as the subject, and
Charity as the object a full attendance is almost
natural consequence, and all who have either thu
time or means at their disposal, and who have any
taste for literary subjects, will lose rare treat b,
absenting themselves.
ALLEN g. NEEDLES AMIoN1ATED FERTILIZER
among the number Of fertilizers presented II
agriculturists in the past few years those of

this pr nciple extensively to their works, and th'
result is manure combining all Of the invigoratins
