THE DAILY NEWS, this morning, is printed
for the first time upon our new and fast print?
ing machine, recently received from New York.
Some little time was required to properly ad?
just the complicated gear necessary so com?
municate steam power to our machinery; but
the work is now concluded, and there is no
journal in the South ?hat can boast a more
complete and commodious press-room than
THE DALLY NEWS. It is the large and constant?
ly increasing circulation of our paper which has
- compelled the employment of an additional
press, and notwithstanding the hard times
about which everybody grumbles, we-thanks
to an appreciative pubbc-can hereafter put
forth our daily budget of news fresh from the
great centres of the world, in an early, prompt
and satisfactory manner. A few months ago,
we could calculate with reasonable certainty
the number of copies required for our circula?
tion. Now, there is scarcely a day when, in
. . spite of oar best laid schemes, the demand for
THE NXWS does not largely exceed the. supply,
: and set all preconcerted figures at defiance.
THE NOBTHEBN MAIL came in yesterday
-.morning according to the new schedule, at 8
. o'clock. No mail matter, howerer, was receiv- ;
-od from points beyond Bichmond, owing, we
presume, to the delay of the Northern trains
? occasioned by the late storm.
SALE OF MOLASSES.-Messrs. J. A. Enalow &
Co. sold yesterday a cargo of prime Muscovado
.Molasses (new crop), from Caibarien (Cuba) ;
.fifty-four hogsheads brought 531 to 56 cents
,per gallon; ten tierces and thirty-five barrels
at 55 cents per gallon.
L. ST. MICHAEL'S BELLS.-To-night, for the
" first time since the close of the war, the even?
ing bells will be heard, and we doubt not that
this sweet sound will cause tears to gush un
i bidden to many eyes, and will revive memories
that were buried in the dust and ashes of the
.past. The change was inaugurated "for the
better convenience of the citizens," and in or
<der to let them take some note of time. A
-clock whose hands are idle and whose notes
.are hushed ls more ornamental than useful,
and tbe order concerning the bells will be read
.with pleasure by all who have ever listened to
4 their melody at eventide.
A NEW SENS AITON-S ARGENT, THE OBSAT LL
.LUSIONLST.-On Thursday Sargent will open
his magic exhibition at the South Carolina
.Hall, and will furnish an entertainment that
will put tbe wizards of the North in the shade.
We ?ave seen some of Sargent's tricks, and j i
-can truthfully say that he is unequalled in his | c
.profession. His sleight-of-hand is surprising,
while his powers as a ventriloquist axe suffi?
cient to induce the belief that he deals with -
uncanny spirita. In addition to the usual attrac- .
- .tiona offered, he will give a grand gift distri
'bntion, in which over one hundred and fifty
presents, of different values, will be given
away. The price of admission is unprecedent?
edly low, and all who can raise fractional cur?
rency should attend.
THE KAT.MTA MILLS.-This admirably located
.property, between Aiken and Augusta, on one
+??j| the finest streams, and a situation among
the best in the South, has lately, our readers
.have been informed, been sold to clear up its
embarrassments, the former proprietors not
-having sufficient means to carry the work to
. completion. We believe that the property, up
to this time, in its present incomplete condi?
tion., has cost over three hundred thousand
dollars, and it has been disposed of for one
hundred and sixty thousand. The present
- owner left the city a few days since, in com?
pany with a party of gentlemen, to examine the
present condition of the works, and it is un?
derstood that ho has been tendered large
.amounts of capital to place the establishment
in thorough working condition. The site is so
-convenient to the great cotton markets, has
.- such admirable means of communicating with
the outside world by the Sooth Carolina Bail
road, that there can hardly be a doubt that,
-once fairly started under efficient management,
it has every advantage to enable the mill to
become exceedingly profitable. The entire re?
gion from Aiken to Augusta, with the namer
?ens manufacturing enterprises built or project?
ed, promises to become one of the greatest
-centres of industry in the South.
THE BO FEB HOSPITAL AND THE MEDICAL
. .COLL?GE.-The following order from head?
quarters was read by the Mayor at the meeting
. of Council, and was referred to the Committee
of Ways and Means. The discussion may now
-be considered definitely settled:
HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT, I
CHABLESTON, 8. C., March 23,1868. J
J_Speciac Orders, No. 69.]
[EXTRACT.]
I. So much of General Orders No. 139, of
December 3,1867 .( Appropriations, Section 7),
.as appropriates "for maint'.ining. and keeping
.open the Boper Hospital 'in Charleston, three
thousand (3000) dollars," is revoked; and the
said sum will be paid by the Treasurer of the
State to the City of Charleston, to be applied,
without regard to complexion, religion or na?
tion, "to the relief of all such'sick, maimed or
.diseased paupers as need surgical or medical
aid." The same section is modified by trans?
ferring from the appropriation of eight thou?
sand (8000) dollars for the transient poor of
the City of Charleston, the sum of two thou?
sand (2000) douars to the Medical College of
South Carolina, to be expended under the di?
rection of the Faculty in indispensable repairs
.of the college buddings, subject to the condi?
tion that the necessary medical and surgical
attendance at the City Hospital'shall be ren?
dered gratuitously by the Faculty of that insti?
tution, under such regulations as to police and
supervision and application of, and accounta?
bility for, the means and material, as may be
agreed upon and established by the United
States and city authorities.

OPINIONS OX MONET MATTEBS- STOCKS AND
BONDS STEAD r-THE FDTDBE-HOW 5TOCH DE?
PENDS ON A STABLE GOVEBXSTENT-NOBTHEBN
CAPITAL SEEKING INVESTMENT.
? great deal of interest is manifested at the
present moment with reference to the prices
of varions securities on the market, and the
manner in which they are likely to be affected
by future movements. In anticipation of the
sale by the Charleston Savings Institution of
its assets, a very considerable sum of money
is understood to have been sent here for in?
vestment, it bein? generaDy believed, that they
will be sold at rates below those vt hich rule at
the present time. As to this probability, how?
ever, there is much speculation, and we fancy,
from the general tone of comment, that
brokers are satisfied to "let willi enough
alone." It is not reasonable to suppose that
with so large au amount awaiting investment
as is understood to be in Charleston,
or on its way hither, securities of any
sort will materially 'depreciate. On the
contrary, the impression is that from
this time forward there will be a steady, even
though it be a slow improvement. Much, how?
ever, depends on the establishment of a stable
government. The steady price of gold, not?
withstanding the impeachment of the Presi?
dent, pending elections and political changes,
is eminently encouraging; and if tho State of
South Carolina does not become, under its new
administration, an out and out negro govern?
ment, new life will be inf used into every depart?
ment of trade. That it will become so is im?
probable. General Scott, the nominee (and
he will doubtless be elected), is perfectly
aware of the fact that bis administration at
home and "vbroad will be measured by its ad?
vantage to the creditors of the State in dollars
and cent? as much as by its liberality and gen?
eral benefits to the people of the State at large.
He is perfectly aware, too, that his hopes of
future preferment as a public man, depend
solely on his s access in evolving order from
chaos, and restoring South Carolina to her
pristine and prosperous situation.
With such a healthy condition of things,
Northern capital will drift hitherward in a
large volume. Already the mere anticipation
of a successful civil government has invited
investment in State and railroad bonds and
stocke, and hence the prices remain compara?
tively firm.
No material advance, however, can be ex?
pected before fall. Summer months are always
dull, and the transactions light. Planters who
heretofore used to invest their surplus funds
in real estate and negroes will then know
better where they stand than now, and, sur?
feited with real estate, will, if successful, nat?
urally tum their attention to the securities of
the country. So far as they are concerned,
everything depends on good crops; but the
Northern capitalist, with his telescope survey?
ing every part of the financial horizon, will
quickly discover the advantages to be gained
in putting his money into the low priced, well
secured, and certain-to-be-paid bonds and
stocks of the State and State corporations.
Viewing the perspective from this stand?
point, the minds of thinking men are led to
but one conclusion, namely, that whatever
may be the depressions of the present moment
they are due to local and temporary circum?
stances, which must give way before the march
of events, and lead to a better, brighter,
healthier condition of affairs, in which all will
enjoy their meed of benefit.

A BOLD ROBBEBT-A HOUSE DESPOILED
ITS WINDOW SASHES.-Tho light-fingered gt
try have been conspicuous in their attentic
to the public for some time, but we have be
seldom called upon to report a more dari
robbery than one which was detected yesb
day. An unoccupied house on Rutledge-sire*
near B'-ll, the property of Mr. F. C. Moy, w
observed on Monday to be despoiled of I
window sashes. These had been recently ft
nished and were quite new. The thieves ma
aged their business with the adroitness of o
bands, and made a clean business of it-sixtei
pair of sashes being taken. The robbery w
reported on Monday to Lieutenant Hendrick
and officer Chapman detailed to work the caa
On Tuesday six pair of the sashes were reco
ered, and Jack Green, one of the colon
thieves, arrested. The receiver is also know
and a clue obtained which will lead to the r
covery of the remainder of the sashes. M
Mey had not visited the bouse for some tim
and the theft had evidently been committe
early last week, as the plunder was all sold,
was soon traced to the purchasers, and th<
will have to answer to the charge of receivir
stolen goods.
THE CONDITION AND PBOSPECTS OF SOUTHEE

Southern agriculture, and, asa basis for such
paper, desires to obtain carefully considere
facts upon certain points tending to illustrai
the modes and results of past operations, an
to show the actual condition of agriculture 8
the present time. He says: "It is acknovi
ledged by all practical men that changes mm
occur to adapt Southern agriculture to the a
tered circumstances which Surround it, an
the sooner the new way is found, and the mor
persistently it is travelled, the surer and mor
satisfactory will be the results. In the hop
of obtaining facts and suggestions of practic:
value, these inquiries will be addressed to
few prominent agriculturalists, accustomed t
careful and deliberate expression of their ex
perince in writing in each of the Souther
States." ? '

A GANG OF SWINDLERS BBOKEN UP.-In?
formation was received at the detective office
some days since of a gang of swindlers whose
operations had extended from New Orleans
through the principal Southern cities. They
sent a few delegates to this city to practice
their ?riles on the unsuspecting, but they
found to their sorrow that they were caught in
the toils. Four of the bsnd, Bichard E. Car?
son, William Dwyer, Dr. W. Shackelford, and
George Newton, came to this city from Savan?
nah to practice their profession. Their object
was to make money, and they visited the
smaller shops and showed the proprietors
some new two dollar bills, which they repre?
sented to be spurious, and offered to soil them
three hundred dollars for one hundred dollars
genuine currency. The bills shown were new
and genuine, and the dupes thinking it a great
bargain, instantly accepted the offer. The
swindlers asked for a few days, at the expira?
tion of which they came round and fur?
nished the storekeeper with a pack?
age neatly sealed, which waa said to con?
tain the requisite amount. As the transaction
was necessarily sub rosa, the package was not
examined particularly, and the money agreed
upon forked over. To secure themselves from
detection a bill or two was put at the head of
the package, and on tearing the paper the
greenback was easily seen, bat a further exami?
nation showed that in every case the body of
the package was waste paper. One of the
dupes reported the cheat to the detective office,
and officers Coates and Meyers were put on the
track. The first named parties were arrested
in this city, and the facts of the case commu?
nicated to the Mayor. He directed Lieutenant
Hendricks to pursue the investigation and
follow up any clue be might obtain. This was
done, and the remaining two rogues were ar?
rested yesterday in Wilmington by means' of a
telegram sent from this city. They will be
transferred to this department through an
order from Colonel Williams, Provost Marshal
of the Second District. In addition to tho
swindling game above mentioned, the gang
were known counterfeiters, and several spuri?
ous bills of tho one and two dollar denomina?
tions were found in their possession.

THB COWCIBT j,t 8t. Joseph's Church, on
next Thursday evening, promises to be a rare
musical treat. On this occasion several young
amateur singers will make their debut, who
have amply prove 1 their natural qualifications
and culture in private circles. We advise
everybody to attend.
PERSONAL.-We had the pleasure yesterday
of meeting Mr. E. A. Bronson, of the Barnwell
Sentinel, who is on a brief visit to the city, and
staying- at the Pa v ilion HoteL Our merchants,
who wish to mate their business known in
Barnwell District, cannot do better than to
avail themselves cf the advertising columns of |
the Sentinel.
THE OPEBA.-Perhaps the moBt full and fash?
ionable audience which has graced Hibernian
Hall since its ti ansformation into a theatre,
greeted Manager (iran's company on its second
appearance last ev aning. Every seat was filled,
and the gay and, in some instances, elaborate
toilets of the ladi ; s lent brilliancy to the scene.
The perform a : ce was a marked improve?
ment on that of Monday evening. A peripa?
tetic opera troup* can hardly do full justice to
"Der Freischutz," and seldom attempts it.
While they have mthin their grasp such operas
as "Somnambule," "Marta," "Fra Diavolo,"
"Diamans de la Couronne," as well as the
"Bose of Castile/' "Maritana," and the "Bohe?
mian Girl," a travelling company on the provin?
cial stage genera'Iy avoids those grand operas
which are mere caricatures if the solo singers
are not sustained by a powerful orchestra,
a well-trained chorus, and an elaborate and
well arranged rr. iee en scene. Hence it was
with some misgivings that we Baw the an?
nouncement of tie difficult and massive opera
of "Der Freischutz."
We were agreaably disappointed. The or?
chestra, though lomewhat lac ki D g in strength,
was well bandi 3d throughout; the chorus
seemed more fiil, and certainly was better
practiced than in "Faust;" and the leading
singers, M'lle. Frederici and Messrs. Himmer
and Weinlich fully sustained their high reputa?
tion. The "Prayer," the "Hunter's Chorus,"
and the tenor solo "Durch die Walder," were
warmly applauded. The wolfs glen, in the
third act, with its multiform diabolic con?
comitants, and a liberal supply of red fire,
blue fire and Bonan candles, was very cloverly
presented, and oarring the smallness of the
stage, would Lave done credit to Niblo's
Garden.
Everybody we it home delighted. To-night
we are to navf, as a farewell performance,
"The Magic Fhte," an opera in which this
company is said to excel. .
