THE THEATRE-BENEFIT OF ALICE AND ISABEL

have given great eatislaction to our community
since the opening of the Theatre, and tlie an?
nouncement thal last night's performance would bc
a benefit to Alice and Isabel Yaue. thc leading
ladies, drew a good andienco, notwithstanding the
threatening weather. The company close their
entertainments this week, but their reception ha
been so liberal that it is understood they will re?

W. W. KEITH, M. D., Junior Deacon.
GEO. WELLS and J. A. TENNENT, Stewards.
MERCANTILE AGENCY.-One by one the stores on
Hayne-street are brightening up and receiving
new tenants. The march of progress has been
slow but sure, and the old street is gradually re?
taining its busings appearance. Its character as
one of the great centres of trade is so well known
that Messrs. R. G. Donn &. Co. have taken the
store next north of Messrs. G. W. Williams & Co,
and will soon open a branch of their Mercantile
Agency. Tho interior of the store has been fitted
np expressly for this business, and their conti?
guity to the large wholesale houses will not fail
to make the Agency as popnlar as before the war.
THE HARBOR OF SAVANNAH. -Our neighbors of
Savannah are in some difficulty in reference to the
navigation of the river telow tao city. The ob?
structions sank there during the late war form se?
rious obstacles to tho passage of largo vessels up
and down stream, and some time since a party con?
tracted to opev the navigation ; but alter a channel
sixty feet wide had been made, obstacles still re?
main which threaten to lessen tho value of the
work already performed, and at present it is diffi?
cult for a steamer to pass at night, and dangerous
for a sailing vessel to go through without the aid
of stream. Tho sediment is carried down by the
tide, and on coming to the obstruction is thrown
back, and when it gets into still water is precip:
tated and new shoals are created. They arc anx
ions to get the authorities at Washington to re
heve them of their difficulties.
THE DISTRICT COURT OF CHARLESTON.-In ac?
cordance with a notice which was published in the
DAILY NEWS, Ju Ige Logan held a session of hi
court yesterday morning, though no business wa:
transacted, beyond the consideration of a fevr
cases, upon which nol pros, was entered, and tho
prisoners ordered to be discharged. In a number
of these cases the parties had been detained in
prison for somo time, and with tho consent ot tl
prosecutors they were discharged. Theso weekly
sessions of this court will bc of great benefit to
the community, as the business of tho Quarterly
Sessions will bo materially reduced by the "xarr.
mation of the cases presented in Chambers. The
magistrates have been requested to make weekly
returns to the clerk, and if this is complied with
a number of cases of indictments and cross in
dictments for assault and battery, similar crimes
can be disposed of, and all complaints of delay
will be avoided.
IMPROVEMENTS.-With the approach of the nen
year, more activity is being displayed by the me?
chanics, and buildings are being erected in differ
ent parts of the city. It has been thc popular
idea to suppose that while the burnt distr ct re
inained in its present condition, that there were
no improvements in progress, but a walk through
the other sections of the city would at once dispel
thia erroneous impression. New houses have
been built, and repairs are being made hi others,
that will considerably improve their appearance.
These signs of progress are, however, not eonfin
ed to the inhabitated portions of the town; tuc
much abused burnt district is gradually rising
from its ashes, and preparations are being made
to rebuild. lu many places the unsightly wa'Js
have been pulled down and foundations dus? l'or
the future buildings. These aro but the first steps
to a general movement on tht part of the propel ty
owners, and if the business p-ospeets of the old
city revive, the lo.ag forgotten s-und of tho me?
chanic's toora will be again heard iu ali parts of
the city.
THE RAIN.-Tho variable weather of the pact
few days took a decided stand yesterday, and the
weeping skies soon testiiied that Pluvius was in
the ascendant. The popuiir notion corncerning
dewy eve was drowned out and tho disgusted pe?
destrians who plodded homewards last l?t?i?
through the drops were ol the unanim ms opinion
that it was not the poetic dew and by no means to
be compared with the fl\iid known to thoso of a
spiritual frame of mind aft "mountain dew."' Dur?
ing the greater part of the morning a struggle for
the supremacy was carried on between the sun and
the clouds, but old Sol was forced to succumb,
and tho night closed in dark, damp.. ?.nd decidedly
disagreeable. The raiu proved to Le potent, and
tho splashing ol' the drops against the window?
pane was the only sound to be hean'; the streets
were deserted, and where a solitary Uunp sent a
few rays nothing was to be seen but mud-puddles.
The raiu has, however, not come amiss, as the
cisterns in many parts of the town were quite low
?nd the supply furnished last ni^'ht will be grate?
fully received by many thirst) mouths.

Thc Back Tax of 1866.
UENERALCAXDY's DECISION-FOIX PARTICULARS.
Tho following communication was addre?od bj
a number o?" Ute leading merchants and citizens
ot' Charleston to tho General commandiag tho
District As it bearti upon a subject which, verv
naturally, has excited considerable attention in
mercantile circles daring the past twelve month.-,
we deem it unnecessary to invite thc attention of
oar readers to ?ts careful consideration :
CHARLESTON-, S. C., October 30, 1807.
louis V. Ccuiaro, A. P. C. and A. A. A. C.:
SIB Ihe undersigned merchants of Charleston
respaetfullv present to you the following facts :
I tie Legislature of this State, in December, i860,
passed a law imposing n tax upon sales for the
vi ar then expiring.
Considering this tax. which was retrospective in
its operation, to be illegal and oppressive, we pro?
tested Against its pavnient.
In lionera] Order No. 92, dated 21st September,
the Commanding General is pleased to say that
'.numerous and well-founded representations hav?
ing been made, that illegal and oppressive taxos
have been imposed in different sections ol' North
and South Carolina, it is therefore ordererl. that
the collection o? taxes be suspended in the follow?
ing cases :
"1st. WI'.enc vcr any tax is or shall be imposed
otherwise than under tho authority of tho United
States, which, by the terms of the act imposing
the same, or by "tho actiotiof thepnbhc authorities
thereunder, shall apply to any property or right
parted with, or any transaction made and com?
pleted prior to the adoption of the act authorizing
the same."
This paragraph ol' the order, we supposed, would
effectually sr.ield us from the payment of the tax
i lentioncd, but we are now informed by the officers
of the State for the collection of taxes that the
order refers only to sales on commission for ac?
count of others."
We emuot think this construction of the order,
favoring one class of merchants more than an?
other, correct. Our property or right had been
parted with, and our transactions made and com?
pleted prior to the adoption of the act imposing
this tax, as fully ?ts that ol' tbe commission mer?
chant. 1 he decline in values of all kinds of mer?
chandise during the year 1866*, and tho consequent
losses sustained thereby, were so great that, in
oar opinion, tho entire "profits from sales made
during the year, in the city, would hardly pay the
tax imposed by the State." and from this decline
the con mi-sion" merchant was, Jrom tho nature ol'
his busines!, in a measure, exempt, and has less
need ol' protection tliau ourselves.
While at all times expecting to do our full share
m supporting the State Government, we claim
that more of the burden of taxation has been
placed upon us than we, in our crippled condition,
ire able to bear; and therefore request to be in?
formed whether the- ordor referred to was intended
to relieve us from tho retrospective tax of 18GG.

THE GERMAN MEETING LAST NIGHT.-In pur
iuance of the call in the daily papers, a number of
?ur German fellow-citizens met last night at the
Stigiue Hoiwe, ir. Chalmers-street. Owing to the
nclemencv of the weather, the attendance was
tot as large as had been expected.
Upon motion, Mr. A. Melchers was elected
Chairman, and Dr. H. Baer Secretary.
General J. A. Wagener explained the object of
he meeting-to briug to th? attention of the Ger?
os ns of Charleston tho terrible distress from
amine now prevailing in various parts of Sweden,
nd especially in Finland. He read a lotter from
Ir. M. Ferlow, the Stale a?ent of immigration in
iwedeu, depicting the terrible distress of that
ountry in pathetic terms. He states that the
rops hive failed there for seven successive years;
bat many i?f the people, for months, have had no
ther food than Iceland moss and the ground bark | '
f trees; that unless succor is obtained from
broad, over ninety thousand must die of hunger
a the course of this winter. Collections aro now
eing made tor their benefit iu Swed.n, in Den?
mark, in every part of Germany, and recently also
a New York.
General Wagoner thou offered the following pro?
hib?a and resolutions :
The Germans of Charleston have heard with
ecp regret the cry of distress from Sweden and
inland. Gaunt fr.mine stalks among thom. Wo
annot, we mast not remain indifferent, in the
rese-.co ol such misery, but will contribute what
e can for their relief, notwithstar.ding our own
cary- losses during the past few years. Provi
cnoe bas kindly watched over us and ours, and
ouehsated to U3 grounds for hope in the future.
I becomes ut therefore, gratefully to bring a
orthy offering on tho altar ot charity. The Lord
as said, " Inasmuch as yo have done it unto
ne of the ka?t of these my brethren, ve have
one it unto me." The starving and the perish
lg are thu brethren of the Lord. His cry for help
i the voice of Cod. The Germana < f Charleston,
lereforo, resolve
1. That we will, among ourselves and our | ,
.?ends, forthwith proceed to take-up a coll'dion
) purchase some nco for the relief of the starving
forthlanders.
2. That a Committee of three be appointed for
very one of tho Lower Wards, uud foi every two
f the Upper Wards ol thu city, to take up this
Election.
3. That a Committee of three be appointed to
Ktsivo the money collected and appropriated m

A NEW ORGAN.-In visiting St. Paul's Church.
Society-street, yesterday, we noticed Mr. Baker,
of this city, busy in erecting tho new organ re?
cently purchased for this church. Wc hope soon
to '.hoar'' from this organ. lu connection with
this matter we discovered the key to thc enigmati?
cal language used by the little folks, and which
puzzled us for thc last fortnight. Wo discovered
that "Santa Claus," "Christmas Troo," "Christ?
mas Gift," etc., meant that the ladies of this con?
gregation had entered into arrangements with
"Suata Claus"' fora "Christmas Tree," which is
to be on exhibition for one week from Monday eve?
ning, December 16. We understand that all, with?
out exception, who visit the tree, which ia to
be planted in the hall recently occupied by Hr.
Commins, in Meeting-street, are to receive a
handsome Christmas present. Wo advise our rea?
ders to save their quarters for this profitable in?
vestment, so appropriate to thc season.

A CHANCE FOE THE SAUBAOE LiAKERS.-By refer?
ence to the Military Tax Act, it will be aeen that,
according to the provisions of that act, "each and
every person keeping a dog or dogs shall pay a
tax of $1 for each dog." So says General Cauby
The Legislature of last year, on tho other hand,
in the benevolence of their hearts and with an eye
to the future purity of sausage meat, exempted
from this cardne poll-tax one dog for each plants
tion and one for each inhabited house or loi in all
cities, towns and villages. This act has been but
recently promulgated, and as yet its provisions re
garding dorga are known only to a few inquiring
minds, but as tho subject is discussed, the owners
of tho devoted beasts will bo unanimous in pro?
nouncing it the dog-gondest law they have ever
known. Curs will fall like the leaves of tho forest
on a wintry day, and nobler beasts will have to
hido their diminished heads or they will find that
their bark will bc shipwrecked and their tail told.
It is sad to think what will be the result of this
sweeping tax upon the canine population, espe?
cially upou that class vulgarly known as "nigger
dogs," who have heretofore been the rebanee of
tnoir owners in possum and coon hunts. Tho fiat
has, however, gone forth that dogs are properly,
and in thia utilitarian age they must pay for the
privilege ol living or give up the ghost and be?
come of some benofii to mankind by being made
into sausage meat. Sic transi! gloria mundt.
TUE MARKETS. A walk through the different
markets at tho present time demonstrates tho fact
that Charleston is in no immediate danger of star?
vation. The meat markots aro well supplied with
beef, pork and mutton, and the joints have a juicy
appearance that at once tempt the eye of tho epi?
cure. The mutton is especially fino looking, be?
ing almost covered with its white fat. Notwith?
standing this apparent abundance, tho prices are
still in advance of tho old rates, and the marketing
for a largo family is a severe tax upon a slender
purse. In thc vegetable markets the fruits of the
earth are displayed in profusion, and the old mau
mas make earnest appeals to the passers by to
stop and purcbaso from thom. Among the vege?
tables now in season and offered for sale, the sweet
potatoes aro the most abundant. This crop was
generally good throughout the State, and in many
instances it was the only ono saved by tho freed?
men. These embryo planters have visited tho
city in score.-., aud with baskets of 'taters on their
heada have perambulated tho streets, imploring all
whom they met to buy their fine yams. Those per?
sons living near the boat landings at tho Southern
ind Eastern parts o? the city are often able to ee
:uro bargains, as the vegetables are sold there
much lower than tho market rates. lu many in?
stances tho disagreeable necessity of marketing is
ivoided, as, with the exception of meats, all kinds
of provender, including vegetables, fish and fowls,
iro hawked past the doors, and can ba bought
somewhat cheaper than from tho dealers.

STAHVATION AT BEAUFORT. -Thc Savannah pa?
pers publish a touching appeal, signed by Rev. S.
Landrum and Isaac Brunner, Esq., in behalf of |
some of the old residents of Beaufort, S. C., now
in utter destitution. Those gentlemen say:
Tho un lersigned, having visited Beaufort, S. C.,
recently, have been urged to make a public state?
ment of tho condition of a portion of its people.
Some of the old families of the town, after live
years of refugeeism, have returned, but not to find
their former homes, or even a shelter for then
heads. Their houses, their plantations, their cat?
tle, their boats, their furniture, everything in the
bands of others, removed or destroyed. Only
those who stand upon the gvound and minglo with
tho people can realize what universal and com?
plete confiscation means. They must buy back
their own houses or rent others. They are ex?
cluded from all employment. They are unprovid?
ed with clothing suitable for the winter, but what
distresses them more, tbsy are without food.
Theso Southern families aro composed chiefly of j
old persona, young ladies and little children. Their
young; men. the few who have survived the war,
can go abroad, but where can these go? They
have not means to como to Savannah to seek em?
ployment. Could they find it if they did come ?
Those to whom we haye reference wero onco
families of wealth. Their homes were almost
boundless in hospitality. They are educated, re?
fined, Christian people. How keen their sensibili?
ties-how acute their anguish 1
They must have aid or die of want. Absolute', v
they have not moans to give a decent burial tb
their dead.
Pressed and tried, as are most of our people, our
condition ia far better than theirs. Our homes,
lands, stock and furniture have not been confisca?
ted. We state explicitly, that we have never seen
woithier objects of sympathy and aid than a part
of tho old citizens of Beauf ort.
The Savannah Republican, in publishing this
statement, forcibly says: "Beaufort-six years ago
the chosen abodo of the we alth, refinement and in?
tellect of South Carolina. Georgia and Florida, and
without doubt one of th3 most charming rural
spots in the South, when 'the beauty and the
Shi valry' 'fair women anti bravo men' wero wont
to congr?gate, to-day, while tho anniversary of
Christ's nativity is fast approaching-a day al wayo
hallowed and celebrated with all the joy, ceremony
and eclat that wealth, Christianity and prosperity
could afford, shall witness what?-not the festive
throngs gliding in the ma:;os of the merry dance,
but instead, tho weeping widow, once the queen of
society, sitting beside her lonely hoarthside, won
iering where the next loaf of bread will come
tom."
" 'Absolutely they have not the means to give a
lecent burial to their dead !' Could humau mia
>ry further go ? Enough anguish and grief rever?
berate.) fron thia sentence alone to cause tho
?horda in every generous heart to vibrate with
)ity, and the soul to glow with the noblest omo
iou of the humau heart-charity. Those two
)rief linos aro aha rp and cutting enough to cause
?very clenched and parsimonious hand to open
ipontancously and extend relief. We know that
?ur people are poor; that trade is very dull; that
cotton ia declining; rents are exorbitantly high;
noney is tight, and thero are sorao who will en
leavor to escapo doing their duty to their fellow
reatures ou this account; but thank God, we
relieve we have but few such people in our
ity. Thero aro but very few persons in our midst
rho can place their hand upon their heart ?.nd
title its voice by saying, 'Wo are too poor to give
, loaf of bread or contribute a few cents towards
lurchasing a blanket or some fuel for oui- famiah
?g friends in Beaufort.' Think of the thousands
f dollars wo have so foolishly thrown away upon
he various circus troupes that have performed ic
ur city within the last six months. Were wo now
eady to bestow one-half of that amount upon our
wu widows, orphans, and the unfortunate people
f Beaufort, all of whom can trace their misery to
he war, what an incalculable measure of good
ould be done, and what a vast amount of suffer
ig might be relieved."
There is much in thia appeal of the Savannah
apera which might well be addressed with equal
>rce to our cwn citizens.
