The EXHIBITION at the Second Presbyterian
Church last night q marked SUCCESS Tho
church was full both Of small and large children.
Professor HOLMES benoptric lantern behaved a6!-
nlrably. The Scripture scenes were brought home
to every eye, and delighted the entire audience,
but the church mouse carried off the palm being
certainly the funniest scene exhibited to the high
delectation Of the Juveniles. The Sunday School,
for whose benefit this exhibition was given owe
Professor HOLMES a large debt Of gratitude. The
singing was very line, speaking well for tho pains
taken by Mr.. G. N. AvERn.L, under whose direc-
ton this part of the exercises was performed
New PUBLICATIONS. are indebted to Messrs.
2. J. DAWSON & Co. for two valuable Law Re
ports-one of the Common Law series, and one Of
the Equity series-the former edited by J. r.
BULwER, @. c., and the latter by G. ". HEaruNe,
Barrister at Law.
Mr.. DAWSON has also sent US copy Of the new
edition Of the History Of South Carolina, BY VIM
GILMORE sInn1s published by RICHARDSON & CO.

need commendation from US.
BIAcKwooDs MAGAz1NE.-Mr. RUSSELL has sent
us the November number Of Old Ebony. The
| contents are as follows: W
1. Nina Balatka. 2. Cornelius ODowd. 8. His
toric Portraits. 4. Sir Brook Fossbrooke, con-
clusion. S. Scraps of Verse from Tourists Jour
nal. s. Celestial Rule and iss5eion. z Three
Presidents of the United States. g. What should
the Ministers do?.
ssNina Balatka' is an excessively dull and prosy
story. Cornelius ODowd gets off good thing
occasionally, but he is cantankerous old chap,
full of crotchets and prejudices, and not q safe
guide. The article on the Three American Presi-
dents (ANDREw JACKSON, ABRAHAM LINCOLN and
ANDREW JoHNsoN) displays a great deal Of igno-
rance Of the true character Of these men, as well
as an entire misconception Of many oi their pub
lie acts. On the WHOLE :sBlaclwood" is getting to
be very stripid Magazine, rapidly pushed to the
wall by many Of its younger, more dashing and
vigorous competitors. AS we do not like to give
up old friends, we hope that old Maga will re-
juvenate somewhat, and not give up the race with
out struggle.
CHARLESTON INDIA RUBBER FAcroRY.-By invita-
tion yesterday visited this new institution for
the manufacture Of heavy rubber, such as car
springs, betting, hose, packing, &C., situated at
Rkersyille near the Ashley River. Tho building is
large and substantial structure Of wood, 12O feet
long and so feet wide, with boiler house and
shed adjoining, the whole length Of the building
containing the heater for vulcanizing the rubber.
The machinery is Of the most improved character,
and capable Of turning out the best goods in large
quantities-of the style they propose to naanufac-
re-and at as cheap rates as can be had North.
The machinery is driven by q fine engine Of 65-
horse power, made at Trenton, N. j., which is
supplied with steam from two large due boilers,
built by Messrs. FREEMAN & PUNDT Of this city;
and whole it is conceded that this will be as
complete a rubber factory as any in the country.
The President Of this Company, Mr. Fl. D.
sTovER, has had much experience, and has asso-
ciated with him men Of energy and indomitable
perseverance, whose efforts viii overcome all OBJ
stacles. Mr.. JOSIAH J, BURGESS, tho Manager and
Treasurer, was President Of the Mead Rubber
Com pany Of Trenton, n. J., and is q large stock
holder in this. A. BROWN is the Secretary, and
CHAs. 2. DODGE Assistant Secretary, with JOHN
NJ. EAsTERBE Superintendent, and II. J. KNAUFF
Engineer. The Trustees Of the Company are H.
D. SLOWER, J. J. BURGESS, THos. PAINE, JOHN
