FIRST BALE OF SEA Island CorroS.-Messrs. J.
Il. BAaaETT & Co., Factors, on Accommodation
wharf, received yesterday one bale of sea island
cotton from the Point View plantation of Messrs.

DEsrrrp T1oN IN GEoRGETowN.-A correspondent
of the Geor getown Times furnishes the following
information l'egarding the desttution in that dis
trict
Mr. Eaitor:-T desire to bring to the notice OF
the citizens Of Geoi igetown, the fact, that there
are white families in our midst, who are starving.
The means which have been furnished me, through
the kindness OF friends at distance, for the rehef
of the poor, is expended, and, as am ,old, the
government no longer issue ratons to the whites,
something ought to be done at once. have writ
ten to different parts Of the country for help,
as vet have had no response. ,,r,,r,-
TIE FOURTH ConMANDaENr.-In the presentun-
settled condition of the country tke mind is apt to
revert to the good old times OF the ante-Deiium
era, and contrast the quiet and order which then
reigned supreme, with the demonstration that
now exists. This is particularly noticeable In the
desecration of the Sabbath, which has recently De-
come ouite common crime, and the day OF rest
is now made one of enjoyment. In the western
portion of the city, groups of mon and boys collect
in the burnt district and the vacant lots IN the
Upper Wards, and spend the day in playing base
bsI. Aside from the reprehensible character OF
tbs employment parties living N the vicinity are
frequently inconyenienced by the noise and oois-
tevous language in which the players indulge.
Although Charleston has never aspired to Puri-
+an;sno her citizens have been accustomed to con-
slider Ga bbath breaking as crime, and the NUM-
c;nal arr .horites were prompt in suppressing
auyatte,np.t to engage in secular empoyments'
Since tine wa change has come over the lana,
and persons who formerly respected religion, now
openly desecrate the day set apart for It's oDserV
ance. Base Bail las been called an American
ssrne. and it's deyotees are to be found IN every
oitv but the enthusiasm O. this pastime should
not lead the clubs to select Sunday for their
sport.
Ths complaints from residents in the vicinity OF
their grounds have been frequent, but the base
ball mania is on the brain, and nothing can induce
the players to desist Their present course IS con-
trary To All rules OF law ard order, but the game
must be played, and they have no spare time put
Sunday. there are several old fields in the Suburbs
that would be better suited for this sport than the
burnt district or vacant lots Of the city.
