(From the Charle.ton News.] Mortuary tatistlcs of Charleston. * We published, in our isfiue of Saurday, C a brief statement of the health organization of the city, and took occasion to say, that it gives assurrance of as perfect medical U treatment of that large class of our people oi liable to suffer without gratuitous atton- tr dance as any organixalion, to that object, could present. We stated, also, that the approaching summer and condition of the oity commendi such an organization, if for Z no it . ion, as a measure of precau. lion rerely. But a brief exsn,tian or the murtuary statistius put,ashed in this paper a few days since,-by Dr. 11elzer, City F R,egistrar, will convince us that suoh an institution is commended, not aloie as a ,neasuro of precaution. The mortality for N .l he year ending the 81st of December last N is without aparRitelerhaps, in the hip hre are faotb-frodf ile" N that the population of our city is little more Pt .t.han half as great as it. was in 1855. Dur ing that. year more houses were built than .duving any year since. At that time all the buildings of our city were standiug, Uf which more thtin a thousand have sinci of ibeen burued. Of the houses then standing, IlL were Alled with occupants to their ut most capacity Of those standing now, a1l1 are not so filled, and certainly were noto .nearly so filled during the last year; and .yet of that large population in Charleston " in 1856, the deaths amounted to only 1088, If While, of the much smaller population im al Charleston during the year, the deaths si amou ed to 2088. 'rhis statement. includes none which may have occurred from battle or any other P forms of violent incident to military move- r< ments, but only those which occurred in' di civil life from the ordinary diseases to it which citizens are suldect.

He still, when the weather admits, eps up his daily out door exercise; d, with this and his morning bath and iform habits and careful diet, though th a bill of fare of extended and oice variety. maintains good health. Ivage fits of petulance occasionally 1-s8se him, and then again he is i.: mper, word an-l bearing as mild as a ay morr.ing. It is remarked that he akes very rarE allullion to his trial, ough. why, no one ventures to ask m.

He endures is prison life viL. a singular admixture ,f stoicism and patience.

U. 0. CLAY. Mr. C. C. Clay has been given the parole of the fort. An announcement to this effect was made to him thii morning, and although not wholly un prepared for it-for his friends hav long been working to procure even thi freedona for him-he received it wit marked gratification. By this new ar rangement he is allowed at all hours o tlb day, from reveille to su'net, fre Uweer, he is compelled to remain ii the room in Carroll Hall lie has rect-atl" been occupying, and under the contin ned sirvoillanco of the vigilant am( sleepless prison patrol. The arrival e lis wife simultAneously with the grant ing of this parole, as may be supposed gives addiuional zest and enjoyment tc tho new freedom allowed him. She i. the guest of Dr. Cooper, and her hnsband alio takes his meafs with the Doctor. Mr. Clay, though naturally possessiug a dehcate constitution, shows his protract Rd imprizionment very slightly. Witl the officers of the fort lie has alway. been exceedingly popular, from his amia, ble bearing, rare cuLare and uniform, ourtesy. His great anxiety has bees or a speedy trial; but his eouitinued im risonment and the delay of a hearing, Nhile not lessening his patient submis. nion, long since taught him the sad ne tessity of waiting, and inutility of repin. ng. He bida fair to receive much nore of this kind of governmental in truction before being released from aore.
