THE LECTURE THB EVENING. Our
readers are reminded OF the lecture,
this evening, at z O'Clock. in the
Chapel OF the. University, by Prof.
Joseph LeConte. w i .,
f. THH PANORAMA. ALI OF our. citi-
zens who have not visited Calisthenio
Hall, should embrace the opportunity
at once, as the exhibition closes this
evening. Scenes that were once
familiar, are again brought before
the eye, and although not unmixed
with pain, it is pleaeant to forget, for
time, the present desolated appear
ance of Columbia, and behold II es e
/ once was. There will be O matinee
this afternoon, at s o'clock, and the
painting will again be unrolled this
evening, ut half-past 7.
THE BALLOT For" AND AGAINST"
CONVENTION. .--RIcHLAND Columbia.
There wns very little excitement ma
infested yesterday, and the colored
folks had it pretty much their own
way-as there were only eight white
voters. There were about 1856 votes
polled. The following candidates
will certainly be elected in Richland
District, rs there is no opposition:
Beverly Nash, Charles Wilder, S.
Thompson, (colored, and Thomas J.
Robertson, (wbite.)
Camp Ground.-Total vote 147-of
which only two were white. IA
were for Convention, 2 against, and
l for political catechism.
NEwDERRY G. H.-Ffrst Day.-5O2
votes-all colored and all for Con-
vention.
GREENv1LLE G. H.-Ffrt Day.
Total vote 321-white 20, colored
3O1. 319 for Convention; 2 against.
VALUABLE WoRK.-We are indebt-
ed to the publishers--Harper &
Brothers, New York-through J. J.
McCarter, Esq, for several numbers
of valuable illustrated publication,
relative to the wa-. entitled ''Har.
per's Pictorial History of the Great
Rebellion. The work is gotten up
in large twenty-four page numbers,
handsomely printed. and contains
maps and illustrations of every event
Of consequence, besides portraits of
nll the principal Federal officers.
Very many of the scenes-for in
stance, Lookout Mountain, Chancel-
lorsville, Gettysburg, Germania Ford,
etc.-are recognized by ex-Conlede-
rates; and if the printed history is as
correct in its representations, as the
illustrations, it will be peruscd with
avidity. The following extract from
the preface to the work, will give a
fair idea OF what the reader is to ex-
pect:
''In u war between two nations,
each may be so far in the right, that
no man can level the balance between
them. Who, for example, will ven
ture to say that in the late struggle
between Prussia and Austria, the one
was wholly right and the other wholly
wrong? The historian of such n war
has comparatively easy task. He
has only to ascertain actual facts, and
narrate them impartially. He can
praise deeds of heroism and self-sacri-
flee, or reprobate acts of cowardice or
basencss on either side, without regard
to the cause.
"In civil war, involving an up
rising against constituted authority
and established law, the case is diff
fercnt. One party must be essential
ly wrong, and tho other essentially
right. Either the Government was
so unjust and oppressive as to have
forfeited its former rightful authority,

MEXICO. Isoo Republics, pub
lished in the capital of Mexico, takes
a gloomy view of tho state of affairs
in that country. 1t says:
ttEverything is as stagnant as the
dead sea. There is no confidence;
credit is gone; commerce is languish-
ing, and seems to be on its last legs;
all other enterprises are timid; the
people are vascillating between the
thousand and one surmises, and the
imaginary chances of misfortune. A
seeming overshadowing presentment
OF coming trouble is everywhere pre-
valent."
There is, however, one hopeful
sign. At the recent dinner to Col.
Cuevodo, the Bolivian Minister to
Mexico, Altimirano addressed Presi-
dent Juarez with these words:
"We have opposed you, but our
opposition has been constitutional
and legitimate. Now that the contes4
is over, we are here to obey. But in
whatever we think you may err, We
shall still oppose-but always consti-
tutionally. We shall oppose in the
press and at the tribune, but no
where else, and in no other manner.
Not soldier shall raise q musket;
not soldier shall draw a sword
against the constitutional Govern
ment. We are bound to obey the
authorities; and though we oppose
conscientiously and constitutionally,
We obey the Government, we love the
President, and we adore the republic
faithfully and unchanged. :"
When Mexican leader, who finds
himself in the minority, uses such
Language as this, it looks as if they
might have tranquility for while, at
least.

The ADDRESS. We are not sorry,
Messrs. Editors, that the address of
Gen. Preston was postponed. There
are many, no doubt, beyond the pre-
cincts Of our city who will be glad,of
an opportunity to hear once more our
distinguished fellow-citizen, who, on
many occasions, in former days. en-
tranced us by his thrilling eloquence.
Tho object in behalf of which the
General is to speak is purely chari-
table one, and commends itself to
every benevolent heart; but, aside
from this, admiration for the orator
must attract many to Janney's Hall
on Tuesday evening next. s.

KING SrEEET.-A walk on King street will cor
vince the most incrcdulous that the march of pro-
gress is not mpedcd in that locality New stores
are in course Of erection, and the old ones have
been remodelled until ,heir identity is almost lost
in the general improvement. The blackened
walls left by the different fires are gradually dis
appearing, and tho activity displayed by tho la-
borers promises an early completion Of the build
ings now rising on their sites.
At the corner Of King and Queen rrepa rations
are being made FOR several fine stores, which will
be great improvement on the mass of brick and
ruins that so long disfgured this spot. On the
opposite side of the street the buildings erected
have been recessed in compliance with city ordi-
nance, and the sidewalk widened considerably.
This improvement was long needed, as the promo
naders were often nconyenienced by the pressure,
and many OF the serncr sex compelled to take the
street in order to grant the light Of way to the
ladies. Tho building materials, scaffoldngs &C.,
now obstruct the pavements to great extent in
certain localities hut they arc not considered a
great disadvantage and tho detour is made with
little grumbling when the futufe p' ospect is con.
sidered. The damage done by the fire at the
Queen City Hotel is fast being repaired, and Ems
MAN can look forward confidently to speedy re.
sumption Of business in his old stand. When the
two stores contemplated are finished they will
add greatly to the appearance of this street and
make the promenade more fashionable than ever,

The BRUDERLIcHE BUND last night gave splen-
did musical and theatrical entertainment at tEeir
Hall in King street, opposite Clifford. We were
too late for the musical part Of the programme,
out enjoyed the play very much: "Eine Sylphade
ausseTsDienst," lively comedy, which was most
excellently acted. Jec7en and Kibitz in our opin-
ion, acquitted themselves most admirably. The
large audience present seemed to enjoy the intel
7ectual treat set before them by their enterprising
manager.
This, We believe, is only the second time this
Bund has ventured on the boards, but they have
every reason to feel gratifed with their success,
and we hope that the interest at present mani
tested by them in histuonics, will be productive
ere long Of still more brilliant results.

Five houses and lots and four vacant lots were sold

bic, both on account Of location and health. Apor-
lion Of the property sold was in Smith street, near
Calhoun, and the remainder in Spring street, cor

in every case the full value, but, considering the
universal stagnation, the sale was well conducted.

on Monday next. This will be in every respect
equal to the first, as the same able corps of ANA
teurs have kindly volunteered their services The
programme has not yet been mado public, Dut
with few exceptions it will be the same as mat
previously performed. This has been done oy the
request of numerous parties, who expressed thenl-
selves pleased with tho selections made, and be-
cause tho limited time will not allow the study OF
many new pieces
AS the object of this COMFORT is charity, and the
proceeds are intended for purpose that has al
ready excited the public attention, VIZ. the re-
demption of st. Michael's Bells, it is fair pre-
sumption that the attendance will be even larger
than on the former occasion. The Citadel Square
Church can comfortably seat over one thousand
persons, and as only nine hundred dollars ar. re-
quired to complete the Bell Fund, there is little
doubt that tho requisite amount will be forthcom-
ing on Monday night, and by the end Of the week
the bells will summon the devout to their different
sanctuaries as they did in by-gone years.
The concert was received with such decided
favor on the last occasion, and the wish OF the
community being now in favor Of it's repetl-
tion the anticipated result is almost certain, anu
the $500 will be speedily produced from the same
number of pockets. It was decided to select Mon
day for this performance on account OF the
limited time, but principally because MIKE LIP
MANS circus would arrive on Tuesday, and tho
competition might prove unfavorable to the con-
cert. From knowledge that wo have obtained we
can promise our readers a rich musical treat; the
pieces are from the best authors, and the perform
ers in every way calculated to do them justice.
The bells are part and parcel Of our community,
and since their silence blight has fallen upon as
which can only be removed by their cheerful peals.
Sunday has almost lost its sacred identity, and
only the regular church-goers know thor ap-
pointed times for worship. The price OF ticket
to the concert is small matter compared with the
privilege Of hearing the old chimes once more,
and all whose souls are not dead to recollections
Of their pleasing melody will go tosthe concert,
enjoy themselves for one night and pay for last
ing pleasure in the future.

MAYORS COURT, March E-The barracks were
turned into foundling hospital yesterday, and
accommodations were offered to three females and
small children. One of the former was on baz,
and was housed more for the childs sake than her
own. The trio were discharged with few adno-
nitions.
Agay and festive Fenian, who was filed with
the spirit, undertook to sleep on the sidewalk in
defanee Of city ordinances. His slumbers were
nncere1noniously routed, and he was carried to a
more secluded spot and charged s5for the trouble.
Another sinner, who loved liquor not wisely but
too well, imbibed such quantity that lie founder
ed and took the blind staggers. He mistook q
lamp post for friend, and, when discovered, was
grasping it in q firm embrace. The police, with
difference to his sensibilGes, carried him of, and
allowed him cell for meditation. A five dollar
fine DID not improve his temper, and he left de-
cidedly disgusted with the world.
