poor TRUST rs DEAD p

We are compelled to chronicle the demise Of an
old anache of this Office, which occurred suddenly
on the first day of this month. Ho was generally
known by the name of Credit, and had such in
sinuating manners that he ingratiated himself
deeply in our affections and pockets. But his
profigrate habits and wasteful tendencies e1aspe-
rated uo beyond measure and in an uniucky mo-
ment, without the fear of his numerous influential
friends before our eyes, we throttlod him and life
became extinct. His remains, consisting Of sun
dry and divers small bills, will bo forwarded to
those who esteemed him in life, and whose affec-
ton will DO displayed in paying this last tribute to
his memory. Over his innumerable faults, the
veil of charity is drawn for awhile, and wo fer
vently hope that surviving friends will not compel
us to disturb his peaceful alumber by . resort to
legal rights and privileges. Inviting all to unite
in the discharge of obligations imposed by his
presence amongst US, We bid long and final fare
we'll to the ashes of the deceased.

ZEE coHcERr ARD oHAnApEp.

Owing to the inclomenoy Of the weather. it was
necessary to postpone the Conoer. and CharadsS
until Thursday night last, at which time, nOtvith
standing the intenso cold very fair audience
assembled in the Court House 10 witness the per-
formances The Charadss selected for tho ocea-
sion we're admirably chosen, and the eharaotero
arranged in highly crcditaSle manaor. Indeed.
the histrisnio tendency Of several participants van
developed in satisfactory style, and brought down
the house in raptu.ous applause. It would DO in
vidious to make distinctions, but We cannot refrain
from expressing the opinion thet certain friend
Of ours mistook his calling whom ne embarked in
the sale Of pills aud nostrums. His talent esr-
tainly -rns in another direction, namely, to dia-
penso food for laughter, aud thus do away with
the necessity for using villainous restorative0.
z The music on this occasion Was highly appreoi-
ated by oonnoissours, and was rendered by the
very finest performers in the community. We
were especially pleased with simple quartotte'
"Evangeline" Others however, revelled in the
notes of moro difficult execution. Bo this as i,
may, the entire programme afforded infinite satis-
faction to those present, and elected thanks for
the pleasure bestowed by the energetic ladies and
gentlemen comprising the corps.

MEssRs. KEYS, SHOWERS AND BYRUM.

The Charleston Courier Of Monday last brings
the gratifying information that the proposed Con-
gressional Inauistion into the case Of the above
named gentlemen has been abandoned. The roa-
son assigned By the New York Tribune for this
course is that the charges against our felowciti-
sens care not founded in fact" 1t has required
long time for the "authorities" to arrive at this
simple and just conclusion, and we ferventy hope
that they are satisfied now with their efforts to
take the lives Of innocent parties, by subornng
witnesses and using military force to extort false
hood from unsuspecting negroes. When the whole
history of this extraordinary case is given to the
world, there will be promulged much that reflects
discredit upon men wearing the insignia Of Office
in the United States Army. We hope the infor-
nation Of the Courier will prove correct, that our
prosecuted friends may now find rest and security
under their t'own vine and fig tree"

CHARLESTON MERCHANTS.

The generous support of these gentlemen induces
us to devote some space to manipulating the per-
sonnet Of the varoue establishments, 30 fer as re
can, in order that the merchants Of this section
may know where to find clever fellows and good
business men when in the city. We begin this
week with few firms on Hayne Street, which has
SO long enjoyed prosperous trade and patronage.
The mammoth establishment Of Gso. ". VIII
LrAMs & Co. is too well known to require comment,
but we have singled out one Of the firm to recon-
mend particularly to ell who may chance to pass
that way. We refer to Dr. EDwIy PLArT, junior
member Of this influential firm, whose generosity
and -heartedness is only oqualled by his prac
tical sense and judgment. Although we made his
acquaintance recently, he was properly vouched
for, and we found him in every respect worthy of
the introduction. When you visit Charleston, and
have any business on "the corner" don'tfal to get
passport to PLATTs affections and consideration.
He is q Georgian--one of the "rare old stock"
HoRsEY's Hat House is an established institution
of many years standing. The present proprietor
is younger brother, bat conducts business the
recognized principles of his predecessors. He is a
gentleman of sterling worth and accommodating
nicn. Associated with this house is the we'll
known Boz. HUBBARD, Everybody in Charleston
calls him "BoB.' for SHORTY whose 'infnite jest
and excellent fancy" is widely known and appre-
cisted. OF course, when merchants from this Sec
ton want to buy hats they viii call upon "BoB.,
or send their orders.
In the new firm of JouE g. FAIRLY & Co. We are
pleased to recognize an old and valued acquain-
tance. Maj. FAIRLY served bis adopted country
with gallantry and devotion, and deserves liberal
share of patronage from the Southern country
He is located at No. 81 Hayne Street, in the Fancy
Goods line, and We pledge our word that in all his
dealings there cannot be found more perfect gen.
tlenan or upright business mau. We commend
this firm most heartily to all desiring Goods in
their line.

cHarsrmAs TREE at THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Among the joyous incidents of tho holidays, none
afforded more genuine happiness and pleasure than
the beautiful Christmas Tree displayed to public
view on Monday afternoon, Gath ultimo. at the
appointed hour, the Church was well7hlled with
Sunday School teachers and scholars, besides the
large. attendance of spectators The bright eager
faces of the little ones peered through the curtains
hiding from view the precious receptacle OF pres
ents but in vain those glances sought to penetrate
tho interior. The exercises of the occasion began
with songs from the children Of the School, leu oy
their beloved Superintendent, Rev. THOMAS HALL.
An impressive and beautiful prayer was then Of
fered to the .Giver of every good and perfect gift
by Rev. j. Scorr MURRAY, after which the chill
dren sang "Hozanna!p When this song was con-
cluded, the lamps belonging to the Church were
turned of, the curtain drawn aside, and there was
unfolded to the anxious gaze Of old and young
large Tree, lighted With tapers, and literally loaded
down with presents both useful and ornamental.
The genial-hearted Superintendent, addressing
himself to the children, made several happy sllu-
sions to the beautiful scene presented, aud when
all had feasted their eyes, the distribution COM
menced We cannot pretend to enumerate the
many gifts with which the Tree was laden, and
must be content with the remark that every
scholar and teacher was kindly sremembcred.-
More than an hour WAS occupied il the distribu-
ton alone, and the interest manifested at the out
set continued unsbated. Then came the formal
presentation of magnificent Bible, from the Sun
day School to the Superintendent, who had filed
this position for more than years, and vhoae
connection with them now ceased by reason Of mis-
removal from our midst. On behalf Of the School,
Mr.. MURRAY presented the Bible. with q few ap-
propriats remarks, to which Mr.. HALL responded
With deep feeling and earnestnees. After this
brief ceremony, in which was mingled affection
and interest, the children and friends of Mr. HALL
bade him On a1ectionate farewell. This parting
scene brought toars to eyes unused to weeping,
and viii long be remembered by those present.
So passed few bright hours Of Innocence and
earthly happiness, mingled with 5Orrowfal leave
taking, reminding each one that every Joy hath
its counterpart unti ne reeuh the mansions Of tho
blegt beyond the skies.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.

One of the saddest deaths it has ever been our

,enosinp before the fire on the day previous, had
her clothing ignited by spark, and before assis-
lance reached her, the flames had destroyed nearly
all her garments, leaving the sufferer in dying
90 condition. Patiently enduring, with Christian
-fOrtitude, the agonzing tortures consequent upon
this awful calamity, this eslimabe lady expired on
the afternoon of the 2lst. The funeral services
were performed by Rev. w. H. sTRArToN, ct the
Episcopal Church, the following Sunday, amid
lhrge concourse of relatives and sympathizlng
friends. In.this affective dispensation Of Divine
Providence, the heartfelt cOndolsnce Of Ae entire

PASTORAL CALL.

'i4sWe have been informed that Gen. Eut1soN Ca
PERs, who was q minister Of the Episcopal Church
before the war and who was recently elected Sec-
rotary of state.of South Carolina, has accepted q
call from tho Episcopal congregation, to supply
Christ Churchiat Greenyire, which had beon for
some time vacant. Tho Rev. Mr.. CApEns will as
sumo the duties of the Church in q short time
lie is learned and able minister"
The above extract appears in the Spartanburg
Spartan of December Goth. and we take occasion
to correct our friend upon several eruurB into
which be has fallen, in regard to the gallant and
accomplished gentleman who is the subject of this
paragraph. Gen. CAprns is not now and has new
er been an Episcopal minister, but has recently
been engaged as q clay Reader" at Greenville,
and in all probability will become pastor of the
church after his ordination, which will not occur
before Spring. The General became candidate
for sacred orders in September, 1864, but his pa
triotisr aad devotion to the Confederate cause
prevented any dilgent pursuit of the high Eoca-
tion, until that-cause was irre7ocably lost and he
had returned to the peaceful pursuits Of life. The
laws Of the Episcopal Church authorize tho Bishop
to permit 3 communicant Of the church, in good
standing, to read the Liturgy and q sermon before
the congregation, and under this authority, Gen.
CAPERs entered the reading desk Of the Episcopal
Church at this place, for the first time, in the
Spring of 1856. The congregation here is great
ly diminished by the return Of refugees 10 former
homes, and this fact has induced the General TO
accept the call to occupy like position at Green
yllo, ct least until hs "a duly authorised 70 preach
the Gospel. We trust the Spartan viii place theuo
facts before Ito readers.
