The village of Mount Pleasant is aspiring to
seaport honors, and the Mayor thereof has ap-
propriated and set apart, Friday the second day
of April, as q day of fasting, humiliation and
prayer. The appointed day falls on Good Friday,
and it may be that the good citizens of this rus in

birds with one stone. 1t may also be intended in
part, to commemorate the establishment of q

tons between which were seriously endangered

CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENCE.

CHARLESTON, MArcn ~.
The weather continues fine, and the vegetable
world is rising and putting forth leaves and bios
soms &c If winter had indeed struck his standard
TO the rosy banner of spring, and had permanently
called off his forces and gone into summer quar-,
tiers. The weather has been warm and pleasant
for the last three weeks, and as it is rare that win
ter breaks so early, I have been looking out for
another freeze, which / should not be much dis
appointed if we should see yet. But for the sake
of fruit. I am willing to hope that winter has ire
trievably and hopelessly failed, and gone into Ii

The celebrated KELLER TROUT is here, and make
their first appearance to night. They number a.
bout sixty persons, and make quite q sensation
this morning by marching in procession through
the streets, headed by the Palmetto Brass Band.
They had just arrived in the Lsajel, and we're per-
haps just taking q fashionable promenade, to
stretch their limbs, and walk of the effects of their
late sea. sickness. They carried parasols in their
hands, but from what l could see Of their faces,
they should not make large pretensions to beauty.
The larger portion of them seemed to be little
girls, hose faces and costumes were covered with
dust.
An item worth recording, and at the same time,
somewhat significant in its character, | would
mention the failure of that celebrated establish
ment on East Bay, known as the French Coffee
House. 1t has been in n declining state ever since
the Mayor closed it on Sunday, and it has finally
caved in, and the proprietor has packed his traps
and gone to greener pastures, where his philan-
thropy and disinterested benevolence will be bet
ter appreciated and more literally rewarded. The
empty tumblers, broken bottles, and fixtures, in
GLIDING the gas and good will of the establishment,
were sold last week to n German grocer, for the
sum of $500.
Not a drum was heard, nor a funeral note,
As its corse to the auction was hurried,
Nor q topper discharged his farewell glass,
Der the spot where his cocktails were buried.
The religious revival is still progressing-.he
different places of worship are thronged morning,
noon and night, and many are enquiring the way
of life, and being brought into the fold OF the
church. The ministers and official members are
active and Jealous in the discharge of their chris.
tian duties, and the good work seems to be deep
ening and extending in all directions. Those who
attend upon the stated preaching of the Word
have more than doubled their numbers, while the
meetings for prayer and elaboration, which are
being held in different parts Of the city are al
ways thronged by more than can find room. The
papers from the North, and the South and the
West are filled with the records of the great revi
val which seem to be spreading all over the Union.
May the good work 60 on, and may this only be
the beginning of the end.

We are glad in being permitted to renew our &C
quaintance; to enter again upon associations,
which in past times have been very pleasant and
profitable to us, and which, we earnestly hope,
will be marked, in the future, by the genial cour-
tesies, that reciprocity of kindly feeling and gen.
erous announcement and heartfelt devotion,
which tend always to alleviate the LABoRs of duty,
and make of earnest life a gladstone and pleasure
Bile journey. We give to patrons and friends our
p~olitest bow and our best smile of recognition
and to our predecessors we extend the wish at
parting, that their success in life may be complete
their friends they meet as uniformly kind and
generous to them as they have been to US. A
better fortune need not be coveted by any man.
To our brethren of the press, we extend the
hearty grasp which is sure to tell of friendship,
and of a high, we'll established regard. Nothing
in life (outside of the charmed twelve-month
through which we are now hastening) has left us
"reminiscences more agreeable than those which
call to mind our associations with the editorialtra-

Messfs. Editors The celebrated DR.. CARPES-
TER, of London, in his wolk ION the use and abuse
of Alcoholic Liquors in health and disease" has
the following remarks:-
..If then, the author should succeed in convin-
cling his readers that the moderate" habitual use
of alcoholic LIQUORS is not beneficial to the healthy
human system still more, if they should be led to
agrce with him, that it is likely to be injurious
he trusts that they will feel called upon, by the
foregoing considerations, to advocate the principle
of total abstinence, in whatever manner they may
individually deem most likely to be %efectual. He
believes it to be IN the power Of the clerical and
medical professions combined, so to influence the o.
pinion and practice Of the educated classes, as TO pro-
mote the spread of this principle among the ''masses'
TO a degree rhch no other agency can ctfeet."
In this belief of the power Of the clerical and
medical professions, is the Doctor right, or is he
wrong? What reply do reason and observation
make to the question? If each individual Of the
classes mentioned were to devote a single hour to
the careful examination Of the opinion expressed,
what answer, think you, would conscience dictate?
Take, by way of illustration, the Ministers Of

formation is not spiritual regeneration-a distinc-
ton sometimes forgotten-that total abstinence is
the practice of a single moral duty in the great
catalogue of human virtues-that, in the regener-
ate, temperance and self-denial are great and COM
manded duties and christian graces-that 'There
is not the wickedest man under the gospel" as
affirmed by CuARyocK, 'but hath some struggliDgs
against the solicitations of unrighteousness, SOM
assents upon the presenting of virtue"--remem-
bering the very object of instituting the living
Ministry, recognized too by universal Christendom,
is it probable that the Minister would have "the
power to influence the opinion and practice" OF a
majority Of his associates in the government OF
his immediate congregation, in q matter so conso-
nant with his mission, and concordant with the
other great truths which he is commissioned to
teach? Could the officers of the Church, by an
honest discharge of their duty, influence" a ma

combined have power to influence" a large num-

denial, and abandonment of the intoxicating poi
