Excur.,on nom BeaufOrt.

The steamer st. Nicholas arrived here
Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock with
a party of colored people from Beaufort
numbering several hundred. Shortly after
the steamer Clarendon arrived with another
immense delegation of the South Carolina
colored population, accompanied by brass
band. For two hours and more the streets
were thronged with these people roam
ing in every direction, and some OF
them were very impudent and
insOlent in their demeanOr, though there
were no serious disturbances. The negro
barrooms were well pstroniZed by the men
and the small stores by the women, some of
whom, we understand, evinced kleptoma-
MAC tendencies, and had to be closely
watched. The st. Nicholas left on her
return about five O'Clock, and the Clarendon
shortly after seven. One negro, who had
evidently imbibed too freely of
mean whisky, had q narrow escape
from being killed or drowned. He was too
anxious to get on the steamer, and, instead
of walking down the gang plank, attempted
to step in a dizzy sort of way from the
wharf to the boat. He miscalculated the
distance and struck full on his stomach on
the rail OF the steamer, and would have
fallen limp into the water but for some
negroes on board, who. seized him and
hauled him in. The breath was knocked
out of him, and he was sobered par
TALLY when pulled on board. A large
crowd of negroes gathered on the wharf. to
see the last steamer off, and amidst much
confusion the excursionists departed, the
brass band playing ''Nearer my God to
Thee" as the steamer moved down the river.

Musicale.

Last evening there was large gathering
at st. Johns Parish Hall, the occasion be-
ing an informal musicale of the Choral As
ISOLATION. The entertainment was greatly
enjoyed, the singers, comprising savannah's
favorite prima donnas and tenors, being in
excellent voice, and the solos and duets
were given in a style that elected
enthusiastic applause. The performance OF
Mr.. Otto Vogel on the either was considered
the best that has ever been heard here. This
young gentleman has an exquisite touch,
and is complete master of the instrument.
His PLAYING was listened to with rapt atten-
ton, and at its close the delighted audience
gave expression to their feelings in hearty
applause. DIR. George II. Stone read piece
entitled "John," a sequel to "Betsy and l
are Out" which had an encore.
The entertainment throughout was very
pleasing, and was credit to the efforts Of
the Choral Association.
