DECORATING THE GRAVES OF THE
CONFEDERATE DEAD.-The ladies of
the Memorial Association will mcet
ut the porter's lodge in the Cemetery,
this (Tuesday) afternoon, at half
past 8 O'Clock, for the purpose of de-
corating the graves of the Confede-
rate dead. A general invitation is
extended to the citizens to be present
and assist in the mournful duty. Con-
trlbutions of wreaths and flowers are
requested to be sent to the cemetery.
MIR. EDITOR: Permit me, respect
fully, to suggest to the Democratic
Cidbs, that they furnish colored men,
bers with printed certificates of mem
bership, in order that citizens may
know the political status of applicants
for employment. We cannot expect
colored people, although they may
be inclined to conservatism, to sepn-
rate themselves from the mass of their
race, unless we give them encourage
ment and protection. We tell them
that we are their best friends. Let
us prove, by our acts, to those who
confide in our professions, that ours,
unlike those Of the radicals, are not
idle words. SALUDA.

from the Virginia papers, is to ad-
dress the Literary Societies, at Wash
ington College, Lexington, Va, at
the approaching commencement.
This College, over which General
Lee presides, has met with unparal-
leled prosperity, fourishing like
young bay tree, under the benign
auspices of its distinguished presi-
dent. We have been informed that
not less than 400 students are in at
tendance this season.

The PARLoR OPERA TROUPE. .-4Thc
Charleston Neus, speaking of the
above troupe, says:
'tNIiss NcCulloch, however, was
the attraction of the evening, and she
has received welcome that must
have proved to her that Charleston
can value Southern talent. The great
charm Of her voice is its clear, war
bling freshness, and the lack Of
"staginess" in her manner cannot
mar the grace and brilliancy of her
singing. Miss McCulloch sang the
famous cavatina in the first act with
great effect, and was warmly encored.
Her singing throughout the opera
was triumph, and the boquets in
creased in number and the applause
increased in vehemence until the close
of the third act, when Miss NTcCul-
loch was called before the foot-lights,
and SO pclted with flowers and praise
that she was compelled to sing one of
her favorite valses. Our fair Carolina
singer has written her name high in
onr esteem, and she must not be
allowed to leave our city without
having received some public evidence
of the high appreciation that she has
won."
