The ladies in charlo of the Home for the wives, mothers and daughters of doceased Confederate soldiers in this city, have received $1000 from W. W. Corcoran, Esq., tho great Washington banker. 3Ir. Corcoran is now in Paris, but, noticing an ac? count of the Home in a Washington paper ho, with characteristic generosity, forwarded a dralt for the amount named. A Cow THIEF CAUGHT.-Henry Henderson, colored boy, was arrested at the Up-Town Guard House for stealing a kettle, and, a quarter of beef being found in his possession, ho was sont to the detective office. On examination he confessed to having been with a boy named Ned when he killed a cow near the Four Mile House, Ned giving him the two hind quarters as his share. Parties keeping cowa cannot be too careful of thom, aa if they are allowed to roam in the streets unnoticed they are immediately taken in charge by somo vagrant negroes, and the owners seldom seo them again. A number of cows have been butchered in this way, and as the thieves can easily dispose of the meat, the temptation to requester the stray bovines is almost irresistible. A MONUMENT TO COLONEL THOS. M. WAONEB. TThe friends or Colonel Thos. M. Wagner, who was killed at Fort Moultrie during the war by the bursting of a gun, have placed a neat monument over his grave in St. Michael's Churchyard. It is o? pure white marble with a plain base, from which rises a fluted column, the top of which, though broken and jagged, is crowned with a laurel wreath. The front panel of the base bears in raised letters tho following inscription: Sacred to tbe memory COL. THOMAS M. WAONER. Died July 17,1862. Aged 37 years and 24 days. Colonel Wagner was in command of Fort Moul? trie at the time of his death and was supei intend? ing the trial of tho gun which burst and caused his death. _ ROBBERv CF ISON ON TBE SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD.-Tho officers of the Savan? nah and Charleston Railroad have, for some time, missed quantities of railroad iron from tho Savan? nah end of the road. These thefis were so fre? quent that Mr. Ryan, tho Superintendant, secured the services of officers Myers and Gray, of tho de? tective force, and, in company with Mr. John Flynn, went to Savannah to ferret out tho robbers. The ability of the Charleston detectives was at once made manifest, as they succeeded in recover? ing forty tons ol the iron, and brought with thom on? prisoner by a requisition from General Canby on General Pope. In searching for tho iron in Sa'annah only twenty bars were found in one prominent junkshop by the Savannah police, but tbi detectives from Charleston continued the search, and soon found where near four hundred had bien concealed, lue investigations will be con tuued until tho thieves are all brought to justice. NEW TEAR'S ? YE.-The close of the year brings mth it mingled feelings of gladness and melan aoly-gladness in the anticipation ot brighter days .v come, and melancholy in reflecting on the Jaauges that have tuken place in the past New Year's Eve, though not a general holiday, nts certain observances connected with it by which it has always been distinguished. One of the most general customs is that of sitting up un? til I? o'clock, and opening the door to the new year. This practice ?3 common among the colored class in the South, and their various places of worship are opened and religious serv.ces held, the last day of the year being deemed peculiarly adapted for pious meditations. In the country the negroes from the neighboring plantations col? lect on this night at scmo stated point, and their rude melodies aie often heard, rising and failing in musical cadence, until daylight appears. The week of Christmas holidays closes with New Year's Dav, and the Eve is a favorite time among all classed for social gatherings, when the time-hon? ored "nogg" is prepared, and the birth of another of Father Time's progeny welcomed. THE CHANGE EN THE WEATHER.-Tho sunny skies and warm breezes of the past few days were forci? ble reminders of Spring, and caused some to be? lieve that old Winter had departed. The sequel proves that the old fellow was merely napping, and yesterday be convinced al' unbelievers of his real and actual presence. Instead of a cloudlee? ?ky and a balmy air, we are now treated to furious blasts from Boreas, and the sky covered with dull leaden clouds that weep over tho close of tho Old Year. During a portion of yesterday it wai a diffi? cult matter to walk the streets, for the rain and sleet beat furiously in the face, and the wind ren? dered all efforts at umbrella carrying abortive. The weather wise have predicted snow, and say that the Old Year will be shrouded with his wintry vesture before he breaths his last. The truth of this assertion we leave the public to determine. We are neither a prophet nor the son ot a prophet, but if sleet ia a forerunner of snow, then the fiat bas gone forth, and the snow will eventually fall. If this should be the case, we eau then say, in the beautiful languago of a backwoodsman, " It blew, it snew, and it fnzod, until the Old Y>;ar giu clean out." _ THE ALLEGED MURDER ON THE BARE ALEXAN? DER MCNEIL.-The sailors who made the charge against the first and second mates of tho McNeil, had a healing bet?re United States Commissioner Prin? gle yesterday. Frc* their statements, it appear? ed that the vessel left Philadelphia on tho 15th, and anchored that same night in the Delaware River, after several ineffectual attempts to sail down tho stream. The mon were ordered by the first mate to go aloft and reef tho sail, and all obeyed except tho deceased, John Toole. The aailois who were aloft at the timo state that the first and second mate beat and kicked Toole about the deck, and that they could see this by moans of a, lantern which the mate carried. Toole complain? ed very much of beiog sick, but said nothing about the beating, and died the next morning. His body was thrown overboard, with weights attach? ed to the feet, as is usual in such burials. Toole hciled from New York. The captain wa-j in thc ctibin, and did not see the transaction, but the nates deny beating and abusing thc man. They i.tate that he refused to go aloft, but subsequently did so, f?sd died the morning after of Asiatic c-holera. He was found on the door, outside ot his bunk, and looked as if he had died in a tit. It became necessary to bury the body, and the usual practice was adopted. After the testimony was taken the first and s-?couti mates were admitted to bail, to answer the chargea preferred against them by the seamen. The whole of the evidence was vague aud euii tradictorv, and it must not be forgotten that the officers, who enjoy a favorable reputation, have pot yet been heard in their own behalf, j CHABLESTON CLEBOYMEN IN ?UO?8TA.-Tho Au gusta pa{ era annouuee that the Rev. W. M. Wightman, D.D, preackod in St. Jamos Church of I that city on Sunday evening, and the Rev. Luclun Cuthbert prcactied in his brother's c?uroh, the Greene-street Baptist, in tho morning, and ad 1 dressed the Sabbath School during the afternoon. S SSE, BLIND AND Doon FAOTOBT.- -Notwithstand? ing tho destitution of the South and the commei I cia] dolness that exists at the present time, it is pleasing to noto that there is some li lc and acth L ty in the different departments of mechanical in? dustry. Although these branches ot business have suffered and aro DOW far behind their past pros? perity, yet thc workshops aro kept open, the ma? chinery is in running order and the bauds that are employed have enough to keep thom busy. A re? cent visit to the sash, blind and door factory of | |Hr. W. T. Russell proved that Charleston me k^nics aro not only superior to their Northern 1 bren but are ablo to to furnish a better matc " j a far less price.

This ia capable of plamn. twenty-four inches in width and am t.(Jj_ega from one-quarter of an inch to two feat. IT* planing is perlectly true and smooth, as th-, of the machine has been carefully adjusted an?, of an exact lovel. The doors mado for tho Custon house were planed in this machine, and as thej-t were ?et in marble janis it required great exact-j ness, but they were found to fit to the notch. The ] :enoniug mach ne, bj the same makers, is used to eut tho tenons- *he end pieces of the sash-and jiving them tho sk'pe required for the glass and the coping. Besides these there are a number of machines for moulding.dovetailling and morticing and one for cutting the shoulder and pin of a slat tt the samo time. It would be an extremely difH cult matter to describe each machine accurately aa the work goes through a number of operations before it is completed. Tho factory is immediato ly over the Phoenix iron works of J. F. Taylor & Co.. and the machinery is worked by the same cn gine. Mr. Russoll has had a long experience as a prac? tical mechanic both in this city and elsewhere, and though his factory is nominally for sashes, blinds and doors, he is prepared to take any con? tracts that may oner. He has already furnished the necessary wood work for the Customhouse, besides supplying a number of planters with their build? ing materials, and the work from his factory is cheaper and has a much neater finis :i than that imported from the North. In these times it be? comes every man to assist bis neignbor, but when it is to his positive advantage to patronise bim, thero will be few who will waste time and money bv employing foreign labor. Tai: LOYAL UNION LEAGUE AT RIDQEVTLLE-AL? MOST A RIOT-FULL PATICULABS.-At Christmas the Loyal Leaguers at Bidgeville, a village aboat twenty-one milo3 from this city on the South Caro? lina Bailroad, amused themselves by marching in procession with badges and ribbons, and succeeded in deterring the freedmen in the vicinity from do? ing aar work. Lu ono instance they compelled a white citizen, who met their procession, to turn ont of tho road and take a Bide street, and in an? other instance they compelled a negro boy to de? sist from his working because he ouly received his rations and clothing m return for his work. No great harm, however, was done until saturday last, whon thc action of the Loyal Leaguers showed what were considered to be the functions and du? ties of theil body. A boy of about twelve years of ago named Haber nicht, a ward of Mr. Cordes of Market-street in this city, was staying at Ridgeville, and had a tussle with a small colored boy with whom he bad previously had several fisticuff fights. Habernicht had tho upper-hand and was beating the little negro, when a cciorcd man ran up, and, without any provocation, knocked Habernicht down. Mr. Cordes, Jr., a son of the Mr. Cordes of Charleston, was near the depot at the time and heaid the noise. He came up at once, and, without further parley, knocked the negro down. The negro then cried out that Mr. Cordes should know what it cost to knockdown a momber of the Union League, and .hat he would soon have tho matter settled. The young mau thought nothing moro of the matter an J went quietly home. In the afternoon, however, a band of loyal leaguers, some thirty in number, inarched up to the bouse where Mr. Cordes was and dom anded his surrender. They were violent in their language, and swore they would have him somehow, and it was feared that they would fire tue house. Cordes lay perfectly quiet, and soon afterwards Mr. Cantwell, a magistrate, came to see what, could be done. He heard what was said, arrested Cordes, and held him to bail in two sureties of $600 each, to answer any charges brought against him. This was not enough. Wade Hampton, the Pre? sident of th.- League, insisted upon having a war rant for th? arrest of Mr. Cordes, declaring that Cordes was responsible to the League for what he had done. The warrant was refused, and after some tune spent in deliberation thc leaguers went away. In the meinwhilo the family of Mr. Cordes, be coming alarmed, sent a young man named Good wyn ; o Charleston to notify his frionds of what was being done. Mr. Cordes, Sr., immediately sought an interview with General Clitz, the com? mandant of this post, and laid tho facts before him. General Glitz said that the disturbance was out of his jurisdiction, but Mr. Cordes received a sealed order which he was to leavo at Summer? ville on his way to Ridgeville. This order was for a detachment of troops to be sent up, and it was left at Summerville on Sunday. When Mr. CordeB, Sr., arrived at Ridgeville, he found that all was quiet, and that there was no signs of any disturbance. On Sunday Magistrate Cantwell was un the train going to Summerville, but on seeing Wade Hamp? ton and some other negro Leaguers in the car, he resolved to come to Charleston and lay the ciroum stances before General Clitz. This was done, and L*JT in the day tho Leaguers told their story, ac cording to which Mr. Cantwell had arrested Cordes as a blind, and had then released him without bail. This Mr. Cantwell showed t .. be false, and there, f jr the present, the matter rests. 2 hero is no doubt that tho "Loyal Len guers" are a viie nuisance, and that they encourage then mem? bers, and the negroes generally, to take upon every occasion thc law into their own hands. Such principles can cause nothing less than constant insecuritv and constant disturbance. Aos<AJUTAGES OF CHAHLESTON.-The Greenville Enterprise bays: Tho Greenville and Columbia Radroad is just now doing a large business in the transportation of cotton, bettor than has been known since tho war. Tho freight charged is reasonable, an i planters find it to their interest to send by the railroad to Charleston or Columbia, instead of hauling to Augusta. Tho price of cot? ton is now better in Charleston than Augusta, by more than tho difference of thc freight. We learn? ed from un intelligent planter that {the producer cauuot now, a-? formerly, consign his cotton to Augusta, to a commission morobant, and after? wards sell it himself, and that there is, therefore, no advantage, in that respect, oror Charleston, m the Augusta market.

Smitli ?i Mc GiUivrsy wiii sell afc auction, on the 7th, several linc ?armR, within thro and lour miles from this city. These farms are extremely valuable, and before Ibo war would have brought New York prices. They will bo offered to tho highest biddor, ami those in want of real estate can ?nd few better opportunities for an investment. These lands were always valuable, and though now somewhat depreciated, by caroful cultivation, they will soon command their former price. THE NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY-COM aiENDABLE LIBERALITY_Although persons are continually dying, yet few expect they will soon be called, and therefore are little inclined, by a pres? ent sacrifice, to provide against an evil which, though they know io be certain, they yet suppose to be disiant. Thc benefits to be derived from Life Insurance are, however, becoming daily better ap? preciated; and the fair dealing and prompt pay? ment made by companies, even on losses for which they might not bo legally liable, has inspired gen? eral confidence in their system and practice. As an instance, we publish, by permis-.iou, the fol? lowing interesting lotter: OWEN SOUND, CANADA \YEST, / December, 18G7. | To Thomas Frost, J's<?" Agent for South Carolina of the New York fyfe Insurance Company : DEAB SIR-I hcroby acknowledge payment in full of thc policy of the New York Life Insurance Company, No. 40,115, for ten tliousawl dollars ($10,000), on the life of my deceased husband, Adam B. Glover, insured December, 1867, and ter? minated alay, 1807. In view of the questioL? which might have arisen in the case, ? regard the settlement as an act of noble liberality, becoming the high rank of the Company, as first in the order of establishment and assets of thc Life Insurance Companies of the State of New York having agencies in South Caro? lina. Its twenty-two years ot successful and dis? tinguished operation inust undoubtedlv have been marked by many like acts of enlarged and gene rojs conduct, tb have won the cunfidenco in its skill an t integrity, with which the public Ls now so tully inspired. So grateful is my realization of thc benefit of Life Insurance, in my present bereaved and re? duced, from lately blessed and affluent condition, ?hat I cannot forbear recommending its adoption f* all in whatever circumstances. Tue affliction I e experienced was in no way anticipated either y lamented husband or myself; and it is due to o say that it was only by your advice and per I that ho was induced to effect the insur belicve it an institution providentially de tho benefit of women and children, best wishes for thc continued useful SStef?uv v?ewk ot -vour Companv, I am, most grate lull) K; ANN LE B.
