CAPT. JOHN l.. KELLY, A. Q. M.-By
the Arogo, yesterday, Captain JonN L.
KELLY, A. Q. NJ, Chief Quartermastcr
of Transportation of the late Depart
ment of the South-now Department OF
South Carolina-went North on leave OF
absence for thirty days. Capt. NELLY,
if We are not mistaken. came here as ..
NJ. of the 4th n. II. Vols, with tn"
original Expeditionary Cops, in 1861,
under command of the gallant SHERMAN.
His thorough patriotism, unfinchinS In
tegrity and extreme caretulnesS Of every
trust committed to his care, soon at
tracted the attention of his superior
officers, and ever after, until now, he
has been one of the most Jealous, and
every way faithful, officers .connec-
ted with this Department. His posi-
ton has always been one Of great care,
labor and perplcxity; oftentimeS over
taxing his somewhat nervous tempera-
ment, and, at time, strangers might have
thought HIN Il severe man. But we have
known him from the first, and must say
that we have never known an officer III
this Department more thoroughly de-
voted to the interests of Government and
so lost to his own selfish ease us Captain
KELLY. BY his faithfulness and industry
he has won the confidence of every
honest patriot here; and no man may he
prouder of the share he has had in the
work of the last four years. We wish
him happy visit to his home and
friends among the Granite Hills Of his
noble old Granite State--New Hamp-
shire; and shall give him hearty well
come back to The Department Of Sooth
Carolina, where lie has served SO long.
so faithfully and so well.

barely possible that the A'ago may not

SUNDAY ScHoLL PIc-NIc.-The Sunday
School at this Post, under the superin-
tendence of Mr.. r. r. McGREGoR, had a
Picnic, on the I1th inst, in pleasant
little grove on the Drayton Plantation.
IL was the original intention OF the COM
miitee 10 visit Smiths Plantation, on
Beaufort River, but being unable to pro-
cure water transportation, Capt. HAYS,
A. 9. NJ, very kindly offered to furnish
them wagons, which they accepted with
sincere thanks. Both School and Com
mittee return thanks, also, to Brevet
Brig. Gen. KrLBURy for his generous
gift with which to supply themselves
with cooling draught.
About one o'clock the baskets Of eata-
bles were opened and spread upon tables
provided for the occasion. The children,
TWENTY-FIVE in number, were the first to
partake of the bountiful repast; then the
adults, numbering about fifteen, many
of them being members of the School.
The company returned home at an
early hour; and the merry laughter and
ioyous shouts of the children were a
convincing proof that they had spent a
happy d,y, and all seemed we'll pleased
with the first =. 5. Picnic on this
Island. q.

Mercantile Library Lecture.

F..
The City Hall was compactly filled last
evening, it being the 2d lecture of the Mercan-
tile Course. The lecturer was Rev. Geo. HI.
Hepworth of Boston, and his subject the gen
eral question of Southern Society and Recon-
struction.
For an hour and quarter the lecturer held
his audience, often convulsing them with
laughter, and often calling out the most vocif-
erous applause. The lecture contained many
capital hits, a good many excellent suggestions,
some very touching anecdotes, but it would
hardly be proper to style it profound. 1t was
severely denuIiciatory in its spirit, and hand
led the South and the late Democratic party
without much show of respect. He demand
ed that slavery, the rebel debt, and jeff Davis
shall be hung upon sour apple tree, and al
lowed to hang for a warning to the world. He
would not kick through the trap-door of the
scaffold such miserable clod as Wirz, and
clothe Davis and his confferes in purple and
gold. aaaHvsI
Mr.. Hepworth is vigorous, pleasant speak
er, but his extravagant expressions do much
to weaken the force of his argument. In this
respect there is room for Improvement
The music by the Portland Band, before the
commencement of the lecture, is great fea-
ture in these lectures, and has proved trump
card with the managers. Vk8HB AIT

GERMAN POPULAR TALES. By Andersen and

Tilton 81 Co. ~ rs
This beautifully got up edition Of the cha. ming
stories OF Grimm and Christian Andersen is among
the most satisfactory works which those enterprisng
publishers Messrs. Tlton 81 Co., have brought out
for the season. The booKs are finely printed, and
tastefully bound and the illustrations are delightful
With the stories Themselves the grown-up reading
world is mostly familiar. They bear that master
print of genius which takes them outside the liita
uons of single language, and gives them place in
the worlds universal literature The brilliant fancy
the quaint umor, the sly droery of these tales rem
der them wonderfully fascinating to childish readers
while at the same time they full OF deeply Thought
ful suggestions and delicate shades of meaning which
no child can fully appreciate. And we are strongly
inclined to the opinion that childs book to be abso-
lutely perfect must always possess more or less of
this last named quality. Children, like grown peo-
ple best enjoy that kind Of reading which stimulates
the mind to some slight effort. We very much ques-
ton whether the kind of diluted mental food which it
is the custom tospread before them in these days can
nourish any very vigorous growth. Eor which rea-
son, among others, welcome with especial pleasure

The shipments to Mexican ports by the
John L. Stephens, which sailed to-day, will be
extremely light, trade in that direction having
been brought to a stand-still. This is owing
in . great measure to the action of the French
commissary at Mazatlan in rejecting, on ffly-
olous pretexts, considerable quantities of goods
sent from this city to supply the Freench
troops. Also of the fact that while the French
occupy Guas;aInez, Mazatlan and Acapulco
the Liberals have control of affairs inland; SO
that between the opposing forces communlca-
ton is cut off, 11iisstIi''a I'D asa -a'9t
