The managers have engaged a fino com? pany, and sevoral stars may be expected.

A POPT.-J.AR REMOVAL.-Ihe dilapidated old wooden building on the south side of Broad street, near Church, is gradually disappearing before tho attacks of che workmen. The atten? tion of the civil authorities has been frequent? ly called to the condition of this house, but no action was taken, and the public became grad? ually reconciled to its dilapidated appeal an?c, and considered it one of the permanent eye? sores of the city. Yesterday the visitors to Broad-street were surprised to see workmen busily employed in tearing down the old struc? ture, and on inquiry the information was ob? tained that it was to be levelled to the ground. The house is the property of the Wilson estate. It has long been a mere shell, and was reoently purchased by Mr. Jas. A. Sanders, principally for the lumber it contained. The debris is now being rapidly removed, and in a few days Broad-street will be relieved of a disgrace, and pedestrians can pass along the south side with? out fear of being buried in the ruins. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROVOST COURTS.-Since General Orders No. 10 and tho State stay laws have been enforced, the numerous body of creditors have been loud in their complaints, and have appealed to the military to as ?mt them in recovering their just dues. Petitions have been received at headquarters, from difierent sections of the State, asking that Provost Courts be re-established, in which judgments can be obtained against the debtor, and where executions are allowed. Those petitioners wish to obtain their money by the shortest possible method. The legal civil procesa, hedged in by the stay laws, is too lengthy, and these credit? ors wish to enjoy the benefit of the summary proceedings of a military tribunal. The dis? trict commander has, however, stated his de? termination to support the civil law, and cred? itors will have to be satisfied for tho present with the redress given by the State courts. PROMENADE ENTEETAINMENT.--Notwithstand? ing the extreme cold weather the promenade entertainment was well attended last night. The tables were well supplied with eatables, and the fair marchande? did not fail to impresa ?upon their customers the necessity of apend ing their greenbacks liberally. Meyer's band was in attendance, and the music caused the hoars to pass by unnoticed. The object of the entertainment was charity, and we trust the projectors have been successful in filling their coffers. THE STATE TAX FOB 1866.-Sheriff Hastie yesterday received from General Canby the following lotter, in reply to mquiries addressed by him to that officer, in relation to tho effect of tho military orders, already issued, on the subject of several descriptions of out? standing State taxes for the year 1866. The principal objection urged against these taxos was that they were retrospective in char? acter, as they imposed taxation for a period, eleven-twelfths of which had already expired. There have been several military orders issued already bearing upon this question; and the principal points remaining in doubt were 1. Whether merchants doing business continu? ously on their own account, and having parted with their goods at the time tho tax of Decem? ber, 1866, was enacted, should be entitled to the relief accorded by General Canby to com? mission merchants, doing business on account of others. 2. Ll they are not liable to the tax of Decem? ber, 1866, what rate of taxation shall they be required to pay ? 3. Whether the business of publishing and vending newspapers shall be regarded as an ordinary mercantile transaction and taxed as such ; newspapers prior to December, 1866, never having boen taxed in this State. Headquarters Second JU il i ta ry District,) CHARLESTON, S. C., January 28, 1868. J William S. Hastie, Esq., Sheriff Charleston District, Charleston, S. C.: Sra-Referring to your communication of December 20th, 1S67,1 am instructed by thr Commanding General to reply to yourinquirie> as follows : You inquire "where goods were sold on com ? mission in 1866, and settled for, previous to ibo passage of the act of 1866, is twenty cents or. the hundred dollars to be collected, or not?" Although your inquiry is confined to cases o:f sales on commission, where the proceeds wem accounted for before the passage of the act, the reply is applicable to all otber cases em? braced under the clause in question. * Assuming the facts, out of -.. hich your in? quiry grows, to be as stated by you, and it ap? pears that, during the year 1866, prior to the passage of the act raising revenue for the year 1867, there was no law in operation subjecting to taxation transactions of the class referred to by yon, but that by the last preceding act on tho subject, tho rate of taxation was fixe i at twenty cents on the ono hundred dol?an.. In this case the proper amount to collect is twenty cents on the one hundred dollars, that being the amount fixed by the last law preced? ing that of December, 1866. Your second inquiry is as follows : "Me.7 chants having done business continuously cn their own account, or for account of other 3, during 1866, delivering their goods as they sold them, are they to pay the tax of Decem? ber. 1866, as passed by the legislature, or is their tax to be scaled down to twenty cents cn the hundred dollars, or is no tax to be col? lected?" Merchants doing business on their own ac? count, stand on the same footing with com? mission merchants. Sales, accompanied by the transfer of property effected by them, prior to the passage of the act of December, 1866, are not liable to taxation, under the provisions of that act. As to the liability ot such transac? tion to the tax of twenty cents, an answer bas already been given, under your first inquiry. Your third inquiry relates to the proper rate of chargeable taxation, in the case of news? paper publishing. The busiueBB of publishing, and vending newspapers, including the sale of advertising space, is regarded as mercantile in its chara c? ter, and aocoordingly the provisions of the first clause of General Orders No. 92, are re? plicable to taxes, laid upon transactions m the course of such business. The rates charge? able upon the gross earnings of such establinh lishments, are to be fixed with reference to the principles hereinbefore laid down, in regard to the general mercantile business. Very respectfully. Your obed't sorv't, LOUIS V. CAZIARC, A. D. C. and A. A. A. G . The practical effect of this order will Le a large saving to our merchants and publishers of newspapers. The act of December, 1066, imposes a tax of sixty cents on every one hun? dred dollars "on the amount of sales of gocds, wares, merchandise, embracing all the articles of trade for sale, barter, or exchange (spiritu? ous liquors and the products of this State, und the unmanufactured products of any of tho United States or territories thereof exceptod), which any person shall have made," from Jan? uary 1,1866, to January 1,1867. Thus if a firm sold goods in 1866, to the amount or $100,000, their tax, instead of (600 (as per act of Legislature), will, by General Canby's order, be only $200. Tho act of December, 1866, imposes a tu of two dollars on every one hundred dollars "on the gross receipts of newspapers, published in this State." If the gross receipts of a newspaper, there? fore, in 1866, were $100,000, the tax on this amount, instead of $2000 (as per act of Legis? lature), will, by General Canby'a order, be only $200. TEE RELIEF FOB THE DESTITUTE.-The fol? lowing letter bas been received by General Scott from General Howard, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau : WAB DEPARTMENT, 1 BUBEAU lt., F. AND A. LANDS, >? WASHINGTON, D. C.. January 27, 1863. ) Brevet Major-General B, K. Scott, Astuianl Commissioner of South Carolina: GBNKIUL-Youl" Circular of January 16,1868, is roceh ed. Tho only thing I fear is f iat an impression may get abroad that a greater amount of supplies are to be furnished than the funds I am able to devote to the relief of destitution will warrant. With the understanding that there are but two States where there is a likelihood of ?amino without assistance from eomo quarter, and that South Carolina, owing to providential causes, has a larger number of destitute than any other Sta to, I havo allotted a larger proportion of funds to ?south Carolina than to any other, yet the amount eveu for South Carolina is small. Lu addition, we have dessicated veg ?tables and dessicated potatoes, which may bo vised so as to remove tho possibility of starvation. These supplies must be used in such a w*y that the sums expended will be secure ind be returned to the fund from which they came. To this cud take hens upon really aid the growing crops, where it is practicable, and whore not, upon tho growing crops a id per? sonal property of the recipient. You will find it necessary to be exceedingly careful that men who have or can get means do not step in before those who are really in need. The whole subject >? stated in your last clause, ''these supplies are only intended by the government to relieve extreme ( ases of destitution." Supplies mutt not, however, be furnished In a way to promote idleness. I fear th ? chari? ties ot' last yeav from benevolent associations, and to Borne oi tent from the Bureau, in some localities, have had this tendency. Your expe? rience in tho past will enable you to take methods to as cid this difficulty the coming year, so that yon may never aid poe pie who are not honestly and industriouily engaged ir? securing for themselves a competency. Very respectfully, Youi- obedient servant, (Signed.) O. O. HOW4BD, Major-General, Commissioner. Official: H. NKEOE, Bvt. Maj., 1st Lt. 44th Inf., A. A. A. G. THE CONDITION OF AFFALBS IN SOUTH CARO? LINA-RELATIONS BETWEEN PLANTRBS AND FBEEDMEN.-General Howard, Commissioner of tho Freedmen's Bureau, has received a re? port from Brevet Major-General R. K. Scott, Assistant Commissioner for the State of South Carolina. In tho Charleston District much complaint has been mado against tho negli? gence of the freedpeople as laborers; that thoy would not do the amount of work they should; that they absent themselves to attend re? ligious and political meetings, thus losing themselves, and causing thc planters to lose also. In many sections they have worked well and given general satisfaction, but the opera? tions of the Union League have been detrimental to them, as it takes them from their work, which is moro importait to them than politics, and they often receive bad ad? vice through the league by designing men. Lu the Darlington District many piar.ters com? menced with nothing, and their credit had been pushed to the utmost, The labor vas terribly unreliable. Men who wera capable of picking one hun il red p JUUII? of ootton between wrtnriso and noon would como from tho field at night with from thirty to sixty pounds as the rosult of a whole day's labor, and frequently they had as much more hidden in the field, which they would carry off at night and sell for their own benefit, finding plenty of purchasers for the same, and selfing at a price little better than nothing. The freedmen also have frequently walked many miles to attend religious and political meotings, sometimes loaving without any reason or right, tpeoding two or three days each time, causing planters much inconvenience and loss, and not improv? ing their own chances foi a respectable crop. Not moro than five freedmen in a hundred have mado more than their provisions this year, and many aro much in debt to the planters, and therefore will be unable to sup? port themselves next year. They invariably believe that the planters owe them, no matter how much they have drawn during the year ; and therefore when they find they have been overpaid they are very much chagrined, and declare they have been swindled. The blacks aro improvident, and will flood a planter with applications for orders on stores, never stop? ping: to consider how deeply they are run? ning in debt, and not until the hour of | settlement do they desiro to know how much ?hey owe. Many seem to be ap? prehensive of bread riots, and of seri? ous trouble between the races, and such fears are not groundless, os laborors defiantly declare that if they get nothing, the planter shall lone all. This it is that makes the crime of arson of such frequent occurrence. Thiev? ing seems to be the rule rather than the excep? tion; cattle, hogs, corn, and cotton, anything that will satisfy the pangs of hunger or bring money is sure to disappear, so suddenly and secretly that no tangible traco of the criminal con be found. In the Sumter District, seven eights of the freedpeople are in debt to their employers for the necessary advances while making the crop. A class of white men go about tho country for tho purposo of robbing the people, they get corn and cotton from the freedpeople, giving in exchange thorfor whis? key, and other unnecessary articles. It is earnestly recommended that some steps be taken to prevent this illicit, traffic. FIFT?-SEVEJTTH REPOBT OF THE BIBLE SO CTETT OF OHABLESTON.-The Board of Mana? gers of th.' Charleston Bible Society give, in their report for the year 1868, an interesting account of the progress of the great work in which they are engaged. During tho year a temporary depository was established at Holmes* Book House, and the remnants of the old stock of Bibles were collected together, amounting to about six hundred and fifty eight copies of assorted sizes, of which two hundred and seventy were distributed gratu? itously, leaving a balance on band of three hundred and eighty- Jight volumes. The Board adopted measures to supply tho publio institu? tions of the city with the Scriptures, and to meet private demands, chiefly through volun? tary agents, especially the clergy and ladies interested in the work. In 1862, the resolutions and acts making tho Bible Society of Charleston auxiliary to the American Bible Socie ty were annulled, but tho Boord never regarded that Society as sectional or political in its character, and in November, 1867, :he old relations of the two Societies were resumed. The report concludes in the following words : Let us not fear; the Bible is not a failure In society, it can never again become a silent fac? tor ; it has dropped m to life, into literature, mto law, to create new centres of power, and to project new fines of thought, activity, civili? zation, and religion. The Bible Society has be? come part of the kingdom of christ. Only give tho lively Oracles to our people, only "tench them diligently to thy children, and talk of them when thou Bittest in tuiuo house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up," then shall our nation " ariso and shine, for her Ught is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon her." ' Thoso considerations prompt the Board to make an urgent appeal to the liberality of the Community. Our books are few. our treasury depicted, our membership small. The Board of tanagers propose to push forward with new eneigv, to take possession of the opening field, and they will put new plans in motion as soon as possible. They throw the causo with confidence on the liberality, on the holy prayers, on the Christian activity of the com? munity. True, our city is depressed; true, our fortunes are low; true, tho future forbodes evil; yet it is equally true that the Ark of tho Lord remains with us, and that we have faith in tie h vin g Gol; and if sorrows or captivity, or martyrdom will best spread the truth, let us rejoice and remember that when the ancient people of God were under the captivity of Babylon the era was more luminous than the reign of Solomon; for amid its darkness all those splendid prophecies of Messiah's king? dom flash in Unos of glory over the face of au afflicted church. Will it cost us a sacrifico to contribute somothing to spread the Bible'/ Bu it so. Publishing tho Bible is preaching tho gospel. Let us not forget that He whoso cross ore upon its front that significant polyglot "in Hebrew, Greek and La'in," hos but given to us an example that, if need be, wc too must lift up our Bible on our cross, ?ven amid Gol? gotha, and glory "that in a great trial of afflic? tion, tho abundance of our joy and oui' deop poverty abounded unto the richea of our libe? rality" in publishing the .glad Li dings that tho Crucified King ofZiou reigns over our lund to the glory of God the Father. ABJECT POVEBTY.-Tho Baltimore Sun pub? lishes this curious paragraph : "Ex-Governor Aiken, of South Carolina, once tho wealthiest mau in the l?pimotto State, it i? said, is now in abject poVcrty." Mr. Aiken, bofore tho war, was worth about a million and a half of dollars. Hu owned about one*thousand slaves, and his rice crop was sold for from $100,000 to $120,00?. Last year Mr. Aiken planted but a small portion of his tract, but ho has lost none of his landed property, and his real estate in this city alone would realize a fortune. If Mr. Aiken is poor, A. T. Stewart is not rich. DIE CHABLESTONEB ZEITUNO.-We cali atten? tion to tho advertisement of Messrs. CG. Erckmann & Co., the publishers of this excel? lent German weekly. We are not ourselves mas? ter of high Dutch, but wo havo a friend who professes that accomplishment, and he assures us that tho Zoi'.ung is a very readable sheet. General John A. Wageuer, tho editor, is too weil known in our community to need our en? dorsement or commendation. Ho is au old hand at the bellows, and knows how to make up a good newspaper. Our nadara will bear witness that we have again and again shown our faith by our works, transferring nearly oyory week some interesting items from the Zeitung to our columns. MnjTABY STAY LAW.-The following order of General Canby, staying executions for threo months, has been issued, wc presume, at thc re? quest of tho convontion: HEADQ?ABTEBS. 2D MILITARY DISTBICT, j CHABLESTON, S.

Colonel Hoyne, on the receipt of the above, promptly communicated with C. E. Kanapaux, Esq., magistrate, and instructed him to com? mence proceedings at once. With equal prompt? ness, tho magistrate dispatched a messenger to R. T. Logan, Esq., the party assaulted, with the request that he would furnish the necessary affidavit on which to base a complaint. This was the first intimation, as we aro informed, that Mr. Logan received of any proposed action in the matter, and having no desire to prose? cute Maokey for the assault and battery, he de? clined to accede to the request. Thereupon the magistrate sent for Mr. J. H. Simmons, a reporter of THE NEWS, explained that the mill tary authorities had pressed the matter, and insisted that ho make his affidavit as a witness of the affair. The affidavit is as follows : Personally appeared before Charles E. Kana Saux, a magistrate of the city of Charleston, ames H.

Logan, Reporter of the Charleston Mercury. When the convention adjourned E. W. M. Mackey, a delegate from Orangeburg District, approach? ed the said Logan and asked him whether he (Lugan) was the author of a certain article iiubli8bed in the Mercury of that morning relative to his father (Albert G. Mackey). Lo? gan replied "I am," whereupon the said Mackey cursed Logan, and struck him a blow on the side of his face. A tussle ensued, and one or two blows were passed before the par? ties were separated. Deponent assisted in quelling the disturbance and separating the parties. Deponent makes the above affidavit, inas? much as he waa present, and haa been called upon by the civil authorities to et ate what has occurred in his presence, under a letter ad? dressed by tho military to I.
