'HE THAT P1rrErH THE Poor, &c."-Nothing
affords us greater pleasure shan to bo privileg ed
to record acts Of liboraty on the part Of those
who are blessed with this worlds goods towa r6ls
their less favored follows. In the bcstowment Of
charity however, there is great difference. Some
there be who give that they may havo honor of
men; some again because of beggar's inlportu-
My; but there are few who are bencGccnt upon
principle, and at the same time observe tlo
Savioul's mandate of not letting their right hand
! know what the left hand docth There is much
choice, also, III the objects OF your charity, ana III
the manner Of its bestowal. Bis dot qatl clio dot
We have heard Of an act OF this kind within the
last few days. A gentleman, residing in the North
| Oh officer Of the United States army, and before
the stationed in the vicinity OF thiscity sent
DR.. r. LEBBY fifty dollars, with the request that
the same be dstr buted among such Of the ladies Of
this said officers former acquaintance as arc now
IN nccessitous circumstances. DR.. T.. informs us
that similar amount had been sent him before By
the same donor, and for the same object.
THE MODERN ExoDUs.-Evcry exchange we meet
contains lengthy notices of the movements of the
freedmen, and rnent on is made how many are
leaving each section for faircr moro productive
lands Whether this class aro induced to emil
CRATE by q prospect Of higher wages, desire to
see the world or their natural non1adc DISPOSE
tion, it is difficult to say. That they are leaving
and il no small quantities, is soonn fact.
Florida, Mississippi, and Southwestern Georgia,
are the promised e5lorad5c, where the will
not nave to work by tho sweat OF their brow.
: Westward the Star Of Empire holds its way.'
Ihat westward progress resulted in the cxter-
mination Of the sspoor Indian and it is fear
cd that the black man Will, in q few years, be a
rara aoss in any but the Western States.
This emigration or exodus arose from no desire
to push the former slaves to the wall, and thus
force them away, but it has been accomplished by
their own free vclition, superinduced by the bet
ter prospects held out to them in States where the
ravages of war were not felt. It has, indeed been
resisted and efforts made to offer superior attrac-
tions, and thus re1ler their old homes the most
desirable.
These measures have proved abortivo, and the
trains, heavily loaded with their living freight,
which are to be seen every day leaving the State,
are proof conclusive that this movement cannot
be controlled The knowledge Of these facts led
to the formation of the Immigration Bill presented
II the last session of the Leg slature, and passed
BY those who understood these circumstances and
had the welfare Of their country at heart.
MAYORS Court, December 27-A husband and

A PLEASANT REUEIoN.-Among the may little
incidents connects with Christmss Festivities
we cannot refrain from giving some account Of the
SaDDatu OcuOO1 CeieDTauOn, connected With the
Citadel Square >Raptist Church, which was most
| imposing and interesting. At an early hour Mon
| day afternoon the children with their parents,
teachers and friends, collected in the body of the
Church, all with joyous hearts and anxious faces.
They were entertained for short time by their
old friend, fanliarly known by them as Uncle
PETE, with some Of his amusing anecdotes
After which the children sang some three or four
Christmas carols, rejecting the greatest credit
upon their much loved teacher They we're then
! formed in classes-the smaller children being
placed in front and marched to the Sabbath School
Room to await the distribution of gifts from the
Christmas Tree, SO generously prepared by their
friends. TIE evergreens about the room were ar
ranged with great taste. AS the children took
their seats crowd of visitors poured in, and the
room was soon completely filed. Mr.. S. Y. TUP-
PEE ha7irg been requested by tho ladies' to dis
tribute the gifts made few neat aud appropriate
remarks; after which he proceeded to present to
the Pastor, Officers and Teachers of the School the

their Teachers among which we would mention
