ARREST OF THIEVES. Charles Wood, a COL
ored boy, about fourteen years of age, was ar
rested by the detectives for stealing twenty-
eight dollars from James Gadsden, colored,
No. Is Spring-street. Gadsden had taken the
boy from the Colored Orphan Asylum, but his
early training must have bsen defective, as his
first move was to rob his benefactor.
William Fowler, atlas Fuller, colored, was ar
rested for picking the pocket of Robin Lumb-
gate, also colored, of thirty-eight dollars. In
both cases the parties were turned over to a
magistrate by the detectives.

ed, was arrested for being drunk and stealing a
pair Of shoes from Messrs. O'Neill g. Sons in

GENERAL D. E. SIoKLEs.-It is currently re-
ported, on the authority of letters received in
Charleston, that General Sickles is making
strenuous efforts to induce Congress 10 replace
him in his old position as commandant Of this
military district. He is now stumping the
State Of New Hampshire in behalf of the Re-
publicans, and making 'tfair weather" with the
people, and at any moment it may be expected
that, having been "martyr" to the policy Of
President Johnson, he will be sent back, not
only as justification to himself, but as re-
buke to the Chief Magistrate.
P. S.-Since writing the above We learn that
Gen. S. has retired from the New Hampshire
canvass on account of lack of promptness on
the part Of the Republican State Committee in
crossing his palm with tho ''sinews Of war;"

TIE GALAXY for March, is an unusually in
teresting number. Among the articles is "a
Deserted Plantation" wartime sketch, by
MIR. E. B. Seabrook, of Charleston. In Lippin-
cott's Magazine for March, MIR. W. Gilmore
Simms tells the old "Story OF Chastelard," :"
and gives it new interest. Mr. Charles Astor
Bristed brings to light two Alsatian noyelists,
Erckmann and Chsrtrain, whose names have
been scarcely heard Of here, but whose pro-
ductions have been widely read and greatly
enjoyed in their English disguise.

WAsHMaToN's BIRTHDAY.--Ths anniversary
was celebrated in very quiet manner on Sat-
urday. Flags were raised on the public build
ings, ard at noon the old Revolutionary salute
of thirteen guns was fired by the battery on
the Citadel Green and at the forts in the har-
Dor. At the government Offices business was
suspended and the occasion observed as holi-
day, but the stores and banks remained open
as usual. In the evening the Washington
Light Infantry Charitable Association, the
Washington Fire Engine Company and the
South Carolina Friendly Society met and cele-
brated their anniversaries. The Cincinnati
and other societies also met in the evening,
but there were no suppers given. The tight
ness of the times precluded any demonstra-
tions Of this description, and the different or
CARNATIONS wisely determined to wait until
better days should dawn, or the flush times of
the past return, before they indulged in any
unnecessary expense.

MUNICIPAL REaULAT1oNs.-Our new Mayor
has officially announced that the police are to
be sustained and that he will be severe in
his sentences in all cases Of ,esisting their au-
thority The large fines imposed on Saturday
we're not so much for the offences committed
against city regulations, but because the par
ties had resisted the police. Charleston is at
present more orderly and quiet than Northern
cities, and the small force Of policemen on duty
are amply sufficient to preserve this blessed
state Of things II their authority is sustained.
General Burns has signifed his intention to
follow that course, and offenders had better
consider their ways and act in accordance to
law or they will assuredly come to grief.
The General warned inebriates that their
first offence under his administration was
treated with the light fine of five dollars, but
if they insisted in resting their heads upon
lap OF earth, or, in other words, making their
beds in the street, he would organize chain
gang for their benefit. ga new broom sweeps
clean" and if the Mayor is as good as his word
the offenders will speedily be swept into good
behavior or prison.

A YACHT CLUB TO BE ORaANIzED.-Since the
close Of the war lively interest has sprung up
in the sport Of yachting which has become e
popular amusement with many of our citizens.
During the past season a number of trials Of
speed have been made, and Charleston can
already boast respectable fotilla, though
there is little uniformity in the size or tonnage
of the vessels. 1t is now proposed to form q
regular club, to be known as the charleston
Yacht Club" whose meetings will be held at
the old Jockey Club Rooms, over Dayton's Res
taurant. AtS<st it is proposed to have but a
small entrance fsc>sapd subscription. Here
after these matters cas>Ae arranged to suit
the views OF the members. <Ghe FIRST meeting
has been called for Thursday eSsqins, at Day
tons Restaurant. We have Wthe Kate,
Rose Maggie Mitchell, Eleanor aud others, be-
sides one or two pleasure yachts that eses..ssI7y
building. If the owners Of these boats enter
into the scheme, fine club can be formedA
The rules Of the New York Yacht Club, with
some slight notifications, could be adopted,

the first of March, to be edited by the Rev. A.

MAYORS COURT, SATURDAY, February %.
A few impetuous individuals anticipated Wash
ington's Birthday, and began She celebration
the night before. They were brought to the
guardhouse rather demoralized by frequent Il
ba.ions in honor OF the Father Of his Country.
The morning light brought them to their
senses, and they were soon introduced to the
Rhadamanthus who now controls the MUNICH
pal reins. One of the drunkists deposited '
and left speedily, but his compatriot was
forced to appear, and was informed that the
streets of Charleston were not lodging places
for drunken men, and if the offence was con-
tinued chain gang would be established for
ising to sin no more
Molly Cross is female who delights in the
ways of wickedness, and is an old practi-
toner at the bar. Molly was found sleeping
without blanket on the cold, cold ground, but
the city Samaritans took her in, and she was
Gagged and cared for until morning. The Mayor
warned her OF the evil consequences of repe-
titlon of the offence, and with many protesta-
tuns that she would "never do the likes Of it
again." she was permitted to bow herself out.
A resident of the upper wards whose cows
had vcnturcd to ni5ble the street flora, and
we're captured by the police, made determin-
cd eortie and succeeded in resculng the bovines
from their custody. She was charged SIS for
resisting tho pulico, and notwithstanding her
protests was forced to pay over tho amount.
A colored pugilist had been arrested by Lieu-
tenant Hendricks for an exhibition of the man
ly art on the streets. The amateur fghtist
refused to go, and indulged in a style Of bill
ingsate, that was not appreciated, and he was
constrained to accept an invitation to visi; the
guardhousc. General Burns examined the
case carefully and fined the warrior SIS for re-
sisting the police.

Court OF GENERAL SESSIONS AND COMMON
PLEAS, Hon. F. ]. MOSES PREsDNa.-The
Jury returned verdict Of five hundred dollars
damages for the plaintiff in the case Of Bernard
Leddy Us. the City Railway Company. Leddy's
claim was for five thousand dollars. The facts
Of the case are briefly as follows: Conductor
Cohens car was coming up Meeting-street,
and when near the old theatre the horses came
in contact with DR.. Jervey's buggy, which was
crossing The track The car horses we're forced
backwards so as to detach the swingle tree
from it's hook. This alarmed them and they
dashed of, still keeping tho track, and, when
near the Pavilion Hotel, struck the arm OF the
windlass over the drain man-hole, which in
Aicted the injuries complained of by the plain
tiff. The old saying TINT corporations have
no souls" doubtless had its full weight in gov
crnng the action of The jury. The company,
