Wc again remind our citizens that all thc money paid by children who visit the Academy this afternoon will bc given, without any deduction, to thc "Home for the Mothers, Widows aud Daughters" of the Confederate dead. LIGHTNING Rons.-Mr. Pendleton, of Au? gusta, is now iu Charleston as thc representative Of the linn of W. II. Goodrich ft Son, who are the exclusive manufacturers and proprietors for Geor? gia. South Carolina aud Florida, of the "copper scroll lightniug rod." This is Hall's intent, and is recommended by some of the most eminent scientific men in the country as thc best "light? ning rod" in use. SUDDEN DEATH.'-Caleb Backus, a fireman on board of the steamship Sea Gull, which arriv? ed here yesterday morning from Baltimore, fell dow? on Thursday in a faint, and died two hours after from, lt ls supposed, excessive use of ice water while heated. Thc deceased belongs to Bal? timore, where he leaves a wife and several chil? dren. Coroner Whiting will hold an Inquest on the body at the Roper Hospital, it having been taken there from the ship. TO-NIOHT. -To-morrow will care for itself. To-night, at the Academy o? Music, we have "Paul Pry;" not Mother Hubbard, but Father Bishop, who will astonish Charleston in a role that the unctuous Liston, a quarter of a century ago, made particularly his own. Added to Bishop, will be the far-famed burlesqne "Kenilworth," in which the Arcft-Bishops, Blanche and Ella Chap? man, will again fascinate youth and unbend the severities of age. A burooer ! ror this Saturday night. CRUMBS.-The Sumter News was mrsWorm ?d. Thc glnhouse of Dr. J. B. Witherspoon was not burnt. A new postofflce has been established at "Ward's Turnout," on the Columbia and Augusta Rail? road, and Mr. Bryant Hughes has beeu appointed postmaster. The safe stolen from the cars last week has been round at the bottom of au old well, in the old brick yard below Camden. Jim Kirkland, alias Adamson, has been arrested and ls now in jail. THE SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD. It is reported that the Savannah and Charleston Railroad purchased the s learner Fannie at the recent sale of tuc steamboat property of the late Captain John Ferguson, and she will be used in futuro as a ferryboat to ply between the city dc pot4nd the Ashley River terminus of that road. This will be a wonderful improvement on the barges now in use, and is perhaps the foreshadow? ing of greater things to come when the bridge will be rebuilt and a union depot an established fact. ' I BLOCKADE IN WESTERN FREIGHT.-The Ma- 1 con Telegraph and Messenger says dispatches 1 were received In Macon, on Wednesday, from 1 Louisville houses, stating that shipments could 1 not be made In consequence of the Louisville and Nashville and Nashville and Chattanooga Rail- I 1 Toads being choked with freight. It is said there J ( are no less than sixteen hundred carloads at Nashville awaiting transportation Senth, and at J 1 least half that number at Chattanooga. In con- j a sequence of this, bacon, bulk meats, corn and other prodnce are getting scarce In our market. | 1 LECTURES ON TURKET_-The Rev. Arthur Bogdan, the Nestorlan. will deliver a course of | J three lectures on the "Life, Manners and Habits of the People of Tuncey," and on the "Eastern Question," beginning on Tuesday next. The lec? tures will be delivered in the nev, Music Hall, corner of King and Market streets, and the whole proceeds will be given to that noble charity, the Ladles' Mutual Aid Association. Mr. Withers, the famous violinist, will play one or his remarkable solus and will be accompanied by a full band. | ? We do hope that these lectures wiU be largely jut tended. _^_ TUE EDGEFIELD UAR AND JCDGE ORR.-We take the following report from the Edgefield Ad? vertiser : At a' meeting of the members of the bar or Edgefleld, held on Wednesday, thc loth Instant, exjrovernor M. L. Bonham presiding, the follow lng*resolution was offered by John E. Bacon, Esq., and unanimously adopted by the meeting : | j Resolved, That the thanks of the Edgefleld bar are eminently due and are hereby tendered to his Honor, Judge Orr, for holding the present extra term of the court, and for the dignity, ability and | t courtesy with which he has discharged his duties as presiding oftlcer of the court. On motion by S. B. Griffin, Esq. : | 1 Resolved, That the above resolution of thanks be published in the Edge?eld Advertiser. Ex-Governor Bonham, 'u hts usual happy and ornate manner, presented the above resolutions to his Honor on the last day of the term, followed | i by General M. Wi Gary on the part of thc jurors in tendering their thanks, as also those of the community to Judge Orr, for the strict yet cour? teous Impartiality and ability manifested during the entire term. "Gm ME SUM DAT PIE"-A DISGUSTING IN? CIDENT.-The Columbia Guardian says : "Quite an amusing scene, and one indicative of the dignity of that august body, occurred in the House a day or two since. DeLarge having procured some? thing in the appearance of an apple pie, was dividing it very generously among such of his confreres as were seated next him, when Elliott, who was seated some distance off, rushed up, and In rather peremptory terms, demanded a slice. As the pie, so DeLarge's liberality had diminished, and there being but a single slice remaining, he repUed to Elliott's demand by ramming that has? tily m his own mouth. "Elliott was not to be so easily robbed of his expected treat-like an eagle he pounced upon de-large member from Charles? ton, and grasping him by the throat, endeavored to choke him Into a more generous state or mind. Being the stouter, and having the advantage in position, he standing and the other seated, Elliott succeeded In jamming DeLarge's head down upon bil chair, when the latter ended the encounter by using his knife upon his antagonist's leg, sending him scampering away to his seat, amid the laughter or the House." GOVERNMENT LANDS IN BEA^OMC-Our Washington correspondent lnfonns us that a bill bas beeu Introduced In the United States House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Public Lands, authorizing the conveyance or certain government property in the County of Beaufort, S. C., to the State of South Carolina, for -common Behool purposes. It is as follows: Whereas, The United States Government owns a large amount of taxable property of the County ?of Beaufort, South Carolina, for which no tax ts paid either to the State of South Carolina or to the County of Beaufort, thereby burdening the people of said State and county much more heavi? ly than would be the case if said property was owned by the taxpayers of said county; and, whereas, said property ls diminishing in value, uncaredjor as it now is; therefore. Be iPtnactea by the Senate and House of Repre? sentatives of the United States or America In Con? gress assembled. That all property owned by the Government of the United States in the County of Beaufort, South Carolina, which has come into the possession of the United States under the operation of the act or Congress approved June 7, 1802. and entitled "An act for the collection of direct taxes in Insurrectionary districts within the United States, and for other purposes," and under the operation of any act amendatory there- : to, except lands law fully set apart for military or naval uses. Including the site designated for a navy-yard on St. Helena Island, bc and ls hereby turned over or conveyed to the State of South i Carolina for educational purposes within said State: and all sales of such property shall be set apart bv the said State for couiniou schools, in which ?ll the youth of the State, without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude, s?Mll enjoy equal rights and privileges: Provided, Twit the State of South Carolina shall first, by legislative cnaotment, accept these provisions. A BOLD ROBBERY.-Thc IIMISC of the City Sheriff has been robbed of bed-clothing and othe. articles of valne. Several robberies have also been reported In different parts of the city, and the police authorities and detectives should be on thc alert. FOREIGN LAHOR.-We learn from the Cam? den Journal that Colonel Shannon and Major Can? ter have each received from thc ?*ew jerry Society several German laborers, and that Dr. Barnet and Mr. Cha rles J. Shannon, Jr., have both fami? lies or the same descent on the way from New York. The Journal says: Thc immigrants who have been here now for some weeks evince that Mr. Bruggeman, tlie agent, has been very cartful in his selection; they are a neat, tidy, courteous and well informal, and exceedingly industrious people, from the agricultural districts, and will, no doubt, prove a valuable acquisition to our laboring class. F. W. Bruggeman, Newberry, can supply, ir immediate? ly ordered, twenty or thirty rannlies, and two or three hundred single laborers in time Tor the cn suiug crop-certaiuly before the first or March How GREAT IS SOUTH CAROLINA!-With ? metropolis that was the hotbed ?r secession, the llrst that caused the "old flag" tobe lowered,and ene that sustained a siege unprecedented in his? tory, the Palmetto State has noi yet had her full meed of glory and renown. It is now asserted, pO"i'.lvely, that South Carolina, thc birthplace of Calhoun, and the honored mother or Rutledge, Mc Duftle and Hayne, who are all known in the past history or the State, has also thc- distin? guished satisfaction ol claiming the authorship or "Shoo, Fly." A number or theories have been advanced as to the origin or this now popular melody, but thc most plausible, and one that is authenticated by numbers or gentlemen in this city ls, that the tune and melody originated willi thc negroes on thc plantations adjoining Black Uiver. In 1S51, a number or gentlemen, includ? ing several savants who were ou a geological sur? vey, visited that section, and at a Christmas dance heard not only thc music and words, but thc chorus or "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bodder Me." Without arrogating any musical supremacy, this State^can fairly claim the authorship or thc song, and wherever it is heard. Tew persons can trace it further than a plantation melody, popular among the South Carolina negroes before thc war, and latterly introduced In this city. CANDIDATES FOR GEORGIA SENATORS.-A spe? cial to the Augusta Chronicle says: "The acknowl? edged candidates for thc senatorship, to which Hon. Joshua Hill and Dr. H. V. Miller were elect? ed by the original Reconstruction Legislature, and whose credentials are now on file with the clerk of the Senate at Washington, are Foster Blodgett; Parrott,Radclal Judge of Superior Court and Speaker of the late Reconstruction Conven? tion; Mott, late military Mayor of Colum? bus, and Honorable Attorney-General for the State or Georgia and public prosecutor before the Military Eligibility Commission. All or these reach aut expectantly, expecting to promote recon itructlon in the Senate or the United States. Blodgett, however, has proved sharper than all, sven Farrow, who had Hie making or the Legisla? ture, and evidently has the Inside track. It ls ru? mored that John Underwood, ol Floyd, ls engaged to take the seat or recalcetrant Chier Justice Jo- < ?eph E. Brown. Present ofllccrs or the State- s louse are all to remain in office, except Treasurer . Angler, who is exceedingly obnoxious to his pro- : visional Excellency. The Bullockies are working tard, leaving no stone unturned to have those laving next highest votes to thc Ineligible scated ( jefore proceeding to perfect the organization ( )fthe House."

Ford, we are to have next week, j it the Academy of Music, a series or entertain- \ nents the bare announcement or which HU be ( mnlclent to AU the house "from turret to fouuda lon stone." With a just appreciation ol the iastes or the community, he has determined to int upon the boards several or the best legitimate ;omedlesln the dramatic repertoire. Goldsmith's ? 'She Stoops to Conquer," Sheridan's "Rivals," ., che "Heir-at-Law" and several other comedies ol , ihe same class ar d reputation, will be produced with all the care and completeness which have characterized the repn scntation or the legiti? mate drama under Mr. Ford's auspices. The present company will be retained for the ensuing 1 week,' and, with the addition or several other ? sterling actors who have been specially sent for, I will make up a very strong and effective cast. I In roles like "Tony Lumpkin" and "Bob Acres," Bishop is saki to be unrivalled bv jiny comedian now on the stage, and the lighter parts will be . ibly sustained by the Chapmaus, Mr. Kennedy and the new importations. The comedies we have mentioned have not been ' produced lu Charleston for many years, and the opportunity which ls now afforded us ol seeing them under the most favorable auspices will, wc ure sure, be eagerly embraced. , Charleston will certainly not be behindhand In showing its appreciation of the plays which, for ' nearly a hundred years, have held triumphant , possession ol the British and American stage, and have been acted to crowded and delighted houses wherever the English language ls spoken. THE PANORAMA OF NEW YORK CITY.-The afternoon and evening exhibition or this pano- I rama in the Hibernian Hall, yesterday, was a i ileclded success, as on each occasion every scat was filled, and numbers had to leave from want ur room. Every preparation had been made to accommodate the crowds that were expected to ittend, but the hall was by far too small for thc nany that thronged to the exhibition. A num? ber of persons who were debarred the privilege of : seats were compelled to leave. The stage has been fitted up expressly for thc ? panorama, and thc gorgeous display or thc streets and scenes ol New York move before the spectators with such a faithful representation that thc dlO'crent localities are easily recognized tty those persons familiar with Gotham. Broad- , way, with its elegant hotels, splendid stores and ' palatial residences, its sidewalks erowded with ladles, gentlemen, and little folks; the street j :hronged with carriages, drays, omnibuses, ex? press wagons, rast horses and rast men; mill ;ary parades and processions; the beggar girls :he street sweepers, newsboys, mcrchauts, mil. lonalres, "gutter snipes," roughs, pickpockets rreenles rrom the country, policemen, ?ud hun- ' Ireds or other characters-all make up a picture :hat enhanee the Interest or every one, and ' iffords abundant pleasure. Mr. Nortou, the lee- ' ;urer, who gives a running commentary ou the ' scenes or the panorama, understands his busl less well, nud adds a great deal to the interest or 1 the exhibition. De kuows New York "like a 1 aoofc," and theamount or information his remarks contain, and his entertaining description of life In New York, its wealth and work, its generosity ? iud its meanness, its thousands of objects of In- i terest, is alone worth thc admission fee. 1 The pauorama will bc exhibited this afteruoou ? and evening, and until Wednesday or next week. JAMES CONNER'S SONS.-We publish to-day thc advertisement of this well-known firm. Tire NEWS, from the first day of its publication, has been printed with type made at this foundry, and is a pc rennial proof of their taste and skill. We commend James Conner's Sons to thc printing fraternity as sound, liberal, fair-dealing and ac curate business men. ACADEMY OF MUSIC-BENEFIT OF THE CHAP? MANS.-Thc favorite comedy of "A Serious Fami? ly" was produced last evening to the most in? tensely appreciative audience that we have ever seen. Bishop as Aminitlab Sleek provoked roars of laughter with every intonation of his voice, and almost with every expression of his wonder? fully mobile face. Mr. Kennedy played the rol? licking Irish Captain with his accustomed spirit, and Mrs. Capman was very good as Lady Sowcrb; Creamlr. In the burlesque of "Cinderella," which suc? ceeded, the enjoyment of the audience was fully sustained, and altogether the performance was perhaps the most uniformly meritorious or the season. In the closing chorus especially, the en? cores were most enthusiastic, and Ella Chap? man's clog dance was called for three times. There will be a matinee this afternoon, with "Joan or Arc" and "Shoo Fly" on the bills; and at night thc capital comedy of "raul Pry" and the burlesque or "Kenilworth," the latter the best extravaganza at present on the boards.

Dccrepitude ls the natural accompaniment of old agc, but lt may be ameliorated, and thc period of entire helplessness long postponed by the judi? cious usc of a healthful stimulant. Physicians, fully aware of this Tact, usually recommend mod? erate stimulation when thc strength and vigor o maturity have been suspended by thc feebleness and prostration which are thc inevitable results or declining years. Port wine, gin, brandy and other liquors are orten prescribed by medical men Tor aged persons, but Hie Impulses which ferment ed ami distilled liquors give to the circulation, and the energy they seem to Impart, is transi? tory, unless thc alcoholic principle is modified ami quanted by the presence or medical tonics and lnvlgorants. or all the combinations or dir ruslvc stimuli with the juices of herbs, roots and barks that have ever been administered to the aged and'luflrm, with the view of sustaining their waning strength, cheering their" drooping spirits and relieving their aches and pains to which they are subjected, none has been found so efficacious, so agreeable and so permanent iu Its effects as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.

The mere spirit of physicist energy produced by a dram (and which is always suc? ceeded by corresponding depression) never yet bcnefltted any man or woman suffering from physical decay.
