GENTLEMEN: On receipt of your
letter of the 4th instant, we gave our
Immediate consideration to your
wishes.
AS the best means, beyond our
own personal observations, to Judge
of the sentiment, we invited the
Senators and Representatives of the
city in the last General Assembly,
and about the same number of citi-
zens, on whose knowledge and judg-
nent in such matters we rely, aud
who might also be fairly considered
representative men, to meet in free
consultation. This meeting took place
last evening, and resulted in the
adopJru OF the following resolution,
which we have the honor to hand you !:
\ Resoloed, That the gentlemen to
whom the letter in behalf of "the
Central Executive Committee of the
Democratic party of South Carolina, !"
at Columbia, was addressed, be re-
quested to reply thereto, and in their
reply to stats, that after conferring
with large number of their fellow
citizens, this meeting regrets that an
opportunity was not afforded the
people of Charleston to meet with
their fellow-citizens in Columbia,
and confer with them as to the proper
policy to be pursued in the present
juncture OF public affairs. And fur.
ther, that this meeting is of opinion
that the people of the city of Charles
ton do not concur in the views which
seem to have governed the gentlemen
recently assembled at Columbia, as
to the psoper policy to be pursued il
the present conditir of affairs.
1t is proper for rs to say thnt this
resolution is not to be understood to
express want Of concurrence in
your opposition to the Constitution

recent proceedings Of, the Democratic
Convention at this place.
GENTLEMEN: Although the city of
Charleston was not represented in
the recent Convention at this place,
we attribute this more to the short
notice given than to an indifference
to the momentous importance of the
action contemplated. We most ear
nestly request and urge that the
action of the Convention may have
response from the city of Charleston.
By the action Of the so.calIed Con-
stitutional Convention, we know that
you have been put in lean minority
by tacking your city on to the Dis
trict of Berkley. But notwithstand.
ing suoh evident encouragement,
and o prospect of success so hopeless,
it will not do for 80 large and i'm
portant community to remain list
less and inactive in q struggle which
the rest OF the State has inangurated,
and in which large part of our
people are now fairly embarked. We
hope, therefore, that We shall soon
see public recognition of our action
in your city.
The Committee most urgently beg
that the Hon. W. D. Porter will be
induced to accept the nomination for
Governor, and we request that YOU
will use all your influence to bring
about such result. We remain,
gentlemen, very respectfully.

PROGRESS OF SERGEANT BATEs.-,We are
advised that the gallant Sergeant, still
bearing aloft the American flag, is now
travelling on Virginia soil. He passed Clio
yer Depot at noon yesterday, getting along
very slowly, on account of a lameness occa-
stoned by wearing tight pair Of shoes on
Sunday. His feet were considerably
swollen, but be made twenty-six miles on
that day, and was expected at ,Keysville
last night, aiming to accomplish thirty
four miles yesterday. Keysville is seventy
four miles from Richmond. The Sergeant
will therefore reach here tomorrow or
Thursday. We will endeavor to ascertain
the hour, in order that persons so disposed
may witness his entry into the capital.

UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.-We
are happy to learn that DR.. Reads people,
who have struggled so long and earnestly
in the collection of funds to rebuild their
church, have at last arrived at point from
which they can see the way to the success
full accomplishment of their purpose. Thus
far, however, they have been aided chiefly
by friends and sympathizerS outside the
city; but now, near their goal, they turn
for aid to those nearer home. A committee
of gentlemen, duly authorized by the
church and congregation, will call upon our
citizens at their homes and places Of busl-
ness for such contributions as they may
feel able to make. We heartily commend
the object, and feel sure these gentlemen
will find that friends close by are not less
sympathizing and liberal than those abroad
who have so generously aided them.

DEATH OF Rev. r. B. G. HOWELL, D. D.
Information was received by telegraph on
Sunday Of the death of this distinguished
divine in Nashville, Tenn, on Saturday
last, in the sixty-seventh year Of bis age.
An attack of paralysis the past year had
rendered him unable to continue his pull
pit labors, and though partially relieved,
he never regained his voice or strength,
but fingered on until his death.
DR.. Howell was a native of North Care
lima, and was educated at Columbian Col
lege. On graduating he accepted the
pastoral care of the Cumberland-street
Baptist church in Norfolk; from thence
he removed to Nashville; then to this city,
where for many years he was the popular
pastor of the Second Baptist church. He
afterwards returned to Nashville, and as
sumed charge of his old church there.
DR.. Howell occupied prominent posi-
tion in the Baptist denomination, and was
not only we'll known in Virginia, but
throughout the Union. For several years
be was President of the Southern Baptist
Convention and editor of the Tennessee
Baptist. A jealous and eloquent preacher,
an able and popular writer, no man was
more useful or more highly esteemed in
his denomination, and his death will be
universally regretted.

Holy OR PASSION WEEK.-With Sun
day last began the last week of the Lenten
season, observed by so many Christians as
very remote times the week Immediately
preceding the anniversary of the resurrec-
tion of Christ from the dead has been kept
as season of peculiar solemnity, to be de-
voted to acts Of penitence, fasting and
prayer, in remembrance of the sufferings
and death Of the Saviour. The sacred
services of each day of Holy Week "are
designed to set forth in the most impress
sive manner the various closing events in
the life of Christ. On Palm Sunday is
commemorated the final visit of the Mes
siah to Jerusalem to fulfil his mission Of
redemption, when the tickle multitude
welcomed him with shouts of "hosanna !"
and the waving of palm branches. In the
Roman Catholic churches the custom of
distributing palms or sprigs of cedar,
in commemoration Of this event, was,
as usual, observed. In the Episcopal
Church this practice has well-nigh
passed into disuse, though some in that
communion still honor the observance.
Nevertheless, the term "Palm Sunday"
and the events it commentaries continue
to be Familiarity associated together. The
remaining days of "Passion," or "Holy
Week." to which the services Of Palm
Sunday are, as it were, Introductory, are
especially devoted to the recital of the
Evangelical records of Christ's divine
passion, and Of the various events that
marked the close Of the Redeemer's
earthly life as "God manifested in the
fesb," such as the cursing of the barren
fig tree the cleansing of the temple; the
toretelling of its destruction and Of the
final end of all things; the treachery of
Judas, who betrayed his Master; the in
stitution of the Sacrament of the Lords
Supper (Which takes place on Thursday +;
"the agony and bloody sweat " in the gar
den of Gethsemane; and, finally, the trial,
condemnation, crucifxion, and death of
the Saviour, on what is called Good FRI
day."
"Easter Even" Saturday terminates
the fast of Lent, which, on Sunday next,
will be succeeded by the crowning festival
of the Church." Easter Day "-set apart
to commemorate the grand and glorious
doctrine of the Resurrection-a fact uni
versally regarded by all Christians as the
final attestation of the Divinity Of the Re-
deemer, and the sure pledge of the event
ual triumph over death and from the thral-
dom of the grave of all who put their faith
in Him.
la this city, services will be held in one
of the Episcopal churches every day, also
in the Catholic churches, according to ap-
pointments already announced.

LOCAL MATTERS.

EVACUATION DAY CELEBRAToRs BEFORE
THE MAYoR.-The notorious Ben Scott,
who styles himself Colonel Of the Lincoln
Union Mounted Rangers, was arraigned,
with several of his subordinate officers, be-
fore the Mayor yesterday on the charge Of
forcing their way, sword in hand, across
Mayo's bridge. The offence was said to
have been committed on the Sd of April,
when there was grand parade of raga-
mullins in honor of the evacuation Of Rich
mond. Mr.. Worsham, the keeper of the
bridge, said that when the procession
came across the bridge they refused his
demand for toll, saying that somebody be-
hind would pay. The rates were only
collected, therefore, from few, while
about two hundred negroes galloped over
to the Manchester side. On their return
the oll-gatherer and his assistant made
another attempt to collect the fare, but
were equally unsuccessful. Many of the
negroes drew their swords and waved
them over the head of the assistant, and
swore they would 60 over; would be
cursed if they paid anything; would be
cursed if they didn't die first. Nearly the
whole brigade made their way across.
Ben denied any "hostlle prlnclples,
and said he told Mr.. Worsham. to send the
bill to Jim SCOTS barber-shop, and it
would be all right. He was astonished
that Mr.. Worsham did not do so. He also
brought an old negro named Allen as a
witness, who swore that every darky's
"sword was in the shuck, and never tooken
| out"
There was some difficulty about the
Identification of the accused as the per-
sons who drew their swords and galloped
over the bridge; and as an important wit
ness was not in attendance, the case was
continued until Wednesday morning. Ben
sta.ked out of the courtroom, which he
has graced many a time before with his
presence, followed by about seventy-fve
admiring friends, whose clattering brogans
caused suspension of business for several
