THE MISSION PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (CoLoRED).
We gave, some time ago, an account OF this
Church, and the ceremonies connected with lay
ing the cornerstone. The work has proceeded
steadily ever since, and the building is now ap-
preaching completion. The funds Of the corpora
ton have been diminished during the erection of
this Church, and they now propose giving grand
festival and promenade concert to aid them in re-
filing the e4chequer. 1t will be held at the Club
Rooms in Meeting street, near Broad, and we
direct the attention Of those interested and chari-
tably disposed, to the advertisement in another
column.
In CHAMBERs.-Judge MOSES heard yesterday
several motions in Chambers, but none Of any
public importance. Messrs. SMoNs & SMoNs will
argue to-day the case of merchant Of this city
os. the Tax Collector Of st. Philips and st.
Michaers, for Illegal taxation. This is case of
some interest to the community, and the ruling Of
the Judge will be anxiously expected. Judge
MOSES has, by his urbanity of manner and prompt
ness in the discharge Of his duties rendered him
self popular to the Bar and to the public, and the
readiness with which he has consented to remain
in the city and further the ends of Justice by his
decisions, will only add to reputation gained by
. long practice Of his profession.

since their last publication, the majority Of which
are Southern, Mr.. FONDA Is the agent here of the
concern and represents this State and Georgia.
His reports, we learn, are full and reliable Of both
States, and we have no doubt but that the mer-
chants Of the cities of each State will be glad to

IN this city.
A SIIaHT REIIEF--The dwellers on this cub
lunar sphere, who were vainly endeayoring to
keep cool, were agreeably surprised and some
what refreshed by the rain Of yesterday. For o
moment the quicksilver hung on the balance, but
it could not stand the pressure, and fell several
degrees. At first the rain came down with Q
grateful persisteney, and the thunder's dulcet
tones sounded far sweeter than the music Of q
piano. Unfortunately this pleasure was of short
continuance, the rain soon ceased, and old Sol re-
sumed his sway and the quicksilver mounted 10 o
dizzy height, The rain may have been appreciat.
Cd by the farmer, but in the city it has only been
the cause Of anathemas on the weather. At pres
emit we are sweltering in a room where il is i'm
possible to keep any but cast-steel thermometer,
and while our imaginatiols .are running on cool
brooks and shady trees, we are enduring heat
that Is feryent enough to melt the elements. Un-
der these circumstances it is almost an impossi-
bility to find anything stirring that could keep
quiet, and this may account for the dsarth Of
news, as few persons are anxious to.increase the
ealorio in their system, and consequently avoid
any undue excitement,
DHsrruHoN IN ST.. PETERS PARISH, BEAUFORT
DrsraIcr.-The destitutian caused by the war, and
the failure Of last years crop has been general
throughout the South, but has been relieved in a
great measure by the generous donations Of the
charitable and by the prompt assistance rendered
by the Bureau officers. In South Carolina this
desttution was more severely felt than in any
other State, but the supplies have been distribu-
ted by the government unsparingly, and as our
prospects are now much brighter We can trust that
the evil days are over that peace and plenty will
shine upon the land, and that every man can sit
under his own vine and his own fig tree. The So
vannah Ne,os and Herald, In referring to the pov-
erty in South Carolina opposite that city says
Captain n. @. BRANDT, sub-assistant Com
missioner, F. B. & A. L., for the Carolina
side Of Savannah river, has made diatri-
button Of corn and bacon among the
destitute Of both races in st. Peters Parish. The
efficiency Of this officer is the best guarantee that
the provisions Of the resolutions Of Congress- un-
der which the distribution has been made, have
been faithfully carried out. We are personally
cogniEant Of the fact that the Captain has endea-
Vored to discriminate Justly and impartially upon
the various applications made. The destitution
prevailing in portions Of st. Peters Parish was
wide spread, many families, both white and color
ed, literally having nothing to eat. The blacks as
general thing were better off than Ae poorer
classes Of white people. The crops are good-the
laborers working better than was expected, and
hopeful anticipations Of better state Of things
encourage the farmer"
TIE WANTS OF THE CoUNTRY.-The South has
undergone great change during and since the
war, which will tend considerably to her future ad
vanoement Old things have passed away, anti
quated ideas are left to the octogenarians, and
every effort is being made to improve the country
by the introduction OF la5or-savng machines, or Of
those inventions whose utility has been recognized
everywhere. Since the notices Of the Mendenhall
Loom have appeared in this paper, letters have
been received from different parts of the country
inquiring the price ofthese looms, and where they
could be obtained. The agent in this city, DR..
MoCINTocK, has received similar letters, and If
his purpose was to effect the sales OF the looms
he could easily accomplish it in this city. He has,
though, come here for different object and de-
sign, simply to sell the patent right for this State
and North Carolina. This right will give the pur-
chasing party the exclusive right to make or sell
