?Repentant Rebels Returning.
Among the more prominent citizens
?who have come back are Hon. Win.
Alston Pringle, Judge of the City
Court; his brother, Motte A. Pringle,
Chief Quartermaster of the rebel
.troops around Charleston; Theo. D.
Wagner, a Charleston member of the
house of Johrr- Fraser & Co.; J. B.
Campbell, one of the ablest lawyers of
the Charleston bar; James H. Taylor
and Ii. A. Pringle, two of the princi?
pal auctioneers, who made vast rebel
fortune'* selling blockade goods, ar.d
Mr. Wm. Gregg, proprietor of the
Granitev?le Alills.
Judge Pringle's elegant residence on
King Street, near the Battery, is now
the headquarters of Gen. Hatch, and
Mr. Wagner's mansion is used for the
offices ot the United States Tax Com?
missioners.
Mr. Wagner, who was the mere
business superintendent, of the. noto?
rious house of John Fraser & Co.,
having nothing to do with politics, was
the prime of generosity and benevo?
lence in the community during iiie
.siege. Besides lavishing money among
all who sought his assistance, he gave
carie Hanche to the Sisters of Charity
and the rebel Provost Marshal Gayer
to draw upon him for any funds to
relieve the Uni^n prisoners wheo con?
fined in Charleston. He also added a j
subscription of one thousand dollars a i
.dav for lue free market for. the people, j
and five* hundred "a day for the Way
side Home, for soldiers. He is now j
reduced to almost beggary, but has
tak^n tho oath of allegiance atid gone
cheerfully to work. Con. Hatch at
first sent for him and would have
placed him iu jai!, but on the appeals
and representations Lora Union of?
ficers, old" Union men pf the.city, the
Sisters of Charity and the poer gene?
rally, he will not interfere wi?h him.
To the credit of Mr. Wagner it may
be added that he never went outside
of the business department of the
house, with which he was connected
before the war, and refused the agency
for the sale of rebel bondi?, besides
declining lo go to Europe and act as a
member of the , English house of
Fraser, Trenholm ?? Co. during the
war. On tho arrivaj of Gen. Seymour
and his brother officers for confine?
ment within shelling rang.? of our
batteries ou Morris' Island, Mr. Wag?
ner succeeded in procuring for them
the commodious private residence to
which they wore transferred, and
which iva*, in fact, entirely out of
lange. He also arranged with Gayer
to furnish them with everything they
.needed which could bc obtained in the
city. V' i--3 31t)t surprising, therefore,
that, he has received clemency at the
hands of Gen. Hatch. He has since
been visited by hundreds of poor and
.others lo testify their gratitude lot his
liiudness.--From the Charleston Cur
ysjjondence of the New York Herald.

Serious Affair in the Market.
Ou Saturday evening a very serious
disturbance took place in the market,
causing a great deal of excitement, and
! resulting in the killing of ono man
j (colored) and wounding of tinco
I others, a Zouave and two colored nftn.
j Tho particulars, as reported, are as
follows:
A small squad of Zouaves had been
ordered on police duty at the market.
One of them, while patroling the
middle market, came into collision with
a party consisting, it is said, of a
number of the 21st U. S. CT. and
the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers,
(colored.) in addition to a number of
outsiders. The Zouave sent for assist?
ance, when the squad came up, and
afterwards the whole company on
police duty arrived from their quarters,
when the market was cleaved. In tho
melee which occurred previous to the
arrival of the company, the colored
soldiers fired a volley among thc
crowd, killing a well known respecta?
ble colored man named James Bing,
badly wounding in the head Corporal
[ Bietry, of tho Zouaves, and severely
wounding two o th qi colored men. In
! the fight stones and bricks, &c, were
i liberally used. Th? unfortunate de?
ceased, at the time ho waa shot, was
at bis stand engaged in soiling eggs.
The Zouaves, after the volley, ma ie
! a charge, dispersing the colored troops.
It is also reported that thu Corporal
of the 54th Massachusetts, who march?
ed bis squad to the market without
orders, was intoxicated, and has been
j put under arrest. He claims that he
j went there to quell the disturbance.
I During Saturday night several dis?
turbances occurred in other portions of
the city, leading to the most exag?
gerated reports, morst of which, after
vigilant search, we are enabled to
state were entirely without, foundation.

SPAIN AND CHILE.-Prom our late
news from the PucfTic it would appear
that there is ?i probability of war be?
tween Spain and Chilej following on
the hostilities of the former power in
Peru. The Spanish fleait ho.s gone
from Calao to Valparaiso, it is report?
ed with the intention of obtaining by
force indemnification for the refusal of
the Chilean Government to furnish
coal in her ports to tho vessels of the
Spanish squadron. Such a demand
on tho part of Spain strikes us as
being both impudent and unwarrant?
able. The presence of a United
States squadron in Chilean waters
might have tho eiTect of restraining
her contemplated assault upon the
republic of Chile.

The Bodleian Library, at Oxford
England, has just got une ther treasure
willie shape ola new an'.oomph o
Shakspeare. It is written in faded ?ni
on the title page of a small octavt
Aldi he edition of'Ovid's Metamorpho
ses,' (1502.) The signature is abridged
into 'Wm. Sbr.' The London Athen
ivv.vi adds that 4it is at once eviden
thf,t,-unless it is a forgery, the bara
which wrote it is that which (jonei
the will of Shakspeare,' and the sig
nature is corroborated by that of th
owner in 16S2, who bas written with

The Great Cable. -
By tho arrival of tho Canard steam?
er, wo learn that, thc whole twenty
three hundred miles of thi> Atlantic^
Telegraph cable was on board the
Great Eastern, and as boon as the bal?
ance of tho paying-out machinery w;?s
put up tile telegraph fleet would sail
for Valentia, and il was hoped before
their departure from Valentia that n
United States Government steamer
would join them. The vessels will
probably leave Valentia on the lOlh
of July, and arrive at II art's Co??
tent, Trinity Bay, aben!, che ?4tb ol'
July. The Directors of 'he Company
have decided on tho following uniform
tariff between all parts of the United
States and British North Amer'.;!:
To Groat Britain, ?20 stetting for
twenty words or less, au 1 21 for each
additional word. To the Continent of
Europe, CM for twenty word?, and
Cl Js. for cadi additional word. To
Asia and Africa, ?'2.5 for twenty words,
and .tl ."..>. f r each additional word.
Tue address, date and signature are all
to be counted and charged for in tues
sages. Messages for places in Asia
an ! Africa, to which the telegraph
does not exlcud, will bu forwarded by
the first mail, postage paid. Messages
in cipher will be charged double these
raie.-. The Directors are convinced
that unless they charge high prices :.t
first there will be such an accumulation
of business that great delay will arise
in the transmission of the messages,
but they* intend to put down new
cables as last as possible, and then
reduce tho prices. The cable will be
opened for business as ;OI;L after it L>
iaid as possible, and all messages will
be forwarded in the order iii which
they.are received at Heart's Content
and Trinity Bay. The new stock of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company sel is
in London at a premium, and old
?'1,000 share? at ?500.
