CELEBRATION OF ST. PATRIcK's DAY.-To-
morrow will be the anniversary OF the Patron
Saint Of Ireland. A gloom will necessarily be
thrown over the Hibernian Societv's celebra-
ticn OF the day by the announcement of the
death OF their venerable President. special
meeting of the Society is called for this eve-
ming to determine what course to pursue under
the circumstances.
The feast of st. Patrick will be duly cele-
brated in the church dedicated to that Saint,

ANNIVERSARY OF THE YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
Assoc1AT1oN.-The Young Mems Christian AS
sociation of Charleston celebrated their anni-
versary at the Citadel Square Baptist Church
last evening. After the singing OF an anthem
by the choir and prayer by the Rev. j. B.
Mack, DR.. S. c. Brown, the President Of the
Association, read his report Of its operations
during the past year. From this interesting
document it appears that eleven thousand
tracts and over two hundred bibles and testa-
ments have been distributed during the past
twelve months. A Sunday school was organ
lied at the corner of Line and Rutledge streets
last July, with but seventeen scholars, and the
number receiving instruction therefrom has
now increased to two hundred and forty. Prayer
meetings are held in the same locality every
Wednesday night, nth an average attendance
of thirty. Besides this, there are young mems
prayer meetings at the hall every Saturday
night. The membership Of the association
has increased by the addition OF more than
two hundred names to its roll.
At the conclusion of the report, the 649th
hymn was sung, after which the Rev. E. 7.
Winkler delivered discourse from the text
'eMy yoke is easy and my burden ight"-Matt.
11:9O. He explained the mystery and seeming
contradiction of these divine words; how that
religion which, in SO many of its aspects,
is the religion of sorrow, and whose great
exemplar was the Man Of Sorrow, can yet
be represented to us as the most benig-
nant Of systems and the source Of the
highest happiness to man. We will not at
tempt to trace the eloquent argument of the
preacher through all its various heads. He
fairly and fully proved that the gospel is alone
adapted to supply the thirst of happiness, and
that all other methods of life than that which
it prescribes are but yokes that wear into the
flesh and burdens that crush to the earth.
The 494th hymn was then sung, after which
the Rev. J. B. Mack delivered brief address.
A collection was then taken up, the do1ology
was sung, and the congregation was dismissed
with the benedictiOn.

DEATH OF The Rev. HARTwELL SPAN.-Rev.
Hartwen Spain, of the South Carolina Confer
ence, DIED at the residence of his son-:n-law,
DIR. T. ". Briggs Clarendon District, on the
9th March, 1868, in his seventy-fourth year OF
age. He was o native OF North Carolina, and
was one Of the pioneers OF Methodism in the
Southern States. In his palmy days he had
great power in the pulpit and stood among the
frmest men of the Church. Giving himself
, early in life to the ministry he won many
sheaves, and he laid him down amid the ven-
= eration and honors of life we'll spent. He had
been for twenty years in feeble health. which
Kept him from the full activities of the work.
BE was confined to his bed but three days.
he departed in holy triumph, ezclaiming. GAIL
is bright before me, will soon be at rest"
Servant of God, well do1eI
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the vict'ry won,
Enter thy Masters joy"

ANOTHER CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT FOB
DowS-TowS MERcHANTs.-By the notice il
another column it will be seen that Post
master Trott, with his usual disposition tc
obIge, has made arrangements to have an au-
thorized messenger from the Postofice at
tend during fixed hours at the Office of the
City Railway Company, corner Eas.'3ay and
Broad streets, to receive such mail matter as
merchants and others may have to place in
his charge. In furnishing this accommoda-
ton our worthy Postmaster has doubtless
taken hint from the establishment of THE
DLnrNEws, advertising box, which las proved
50 great a convenience to the business com
munity downtown.

A RAscALLY TRANSACT oN.-The Whining
ton Journal of yesterday narrates the following
facts which may be of interest to some of our
own merchants:
Messrs. Mitchell & Huggins of this city
have recently received letters from DIR. B. L.
Perry, Sr., Of Beaufort, who is the underwrit-
ers' agent at thai place, where the following
facts are set forth, concerning small schoon-
value OF which Messrs. Mitchell j. Huggins
have mortgage; /; NJ. Perry writes that the
schooner Minnie, Captain J. s. Taylor, bound
from Little River, North Carolina, to Charles
ton, South Carolina, with cargo OF corn, ar
rived in Beaufort some two weeks since, where
she remained about O week and then departed
on her voyage. A short time afterwards the
captain and crew returned to Beaufort in o
small boat and seeking out Mr.. Perry the
captain desired him to note his protest. stat
ing that he had put into Bear Inlet and in try
ing to get out the vessel ran ashore. bilge
and was lost together with rhe cargo. His
story seemed plausible, aud remaining hut
about an hour he left Beaufort f5- ociacock.
On after Investigation the following facts were
developed: After leaving Beaufort with his
vessel, fay.or put into Swansboro and sold the
cargo TO Mr.. Daniel Har9ett and received in
payment sloO cash aud q draft on Messrs. Doll
ner, Potter L. Co., New York tor 5000. He
then put into Bear Iuiet, having about fifty
bushels of corn left, and filled with mud bal
lest, aud then deliberately bored holes in the
vessel aud sunk her. While in Swansboro' he
called the vessel the May OF Baltimore and had
this name painted on a board which he hung
over the stern. Himself he called Captain
Williams. The vessel has since been gotten
up and six half inch auger holes found bored
in her sides. Mr.. Perry is endeavoriag to
search out this rascal aud bring him 10 JUS
tice We are not informed Th1 besides
Messrs. Mitchell g. Higgins were interested
in the schooner, or by whom the cargo was
owned, Messrs. Do!lner, Potter g. Co, have
been written to and payment Of the draft

An IMPORTANT DECISION N FAVOR OF TIE
SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD CoaPASY.-About a
year ago it was learned that series Of suits
would be brought against the South Carolina
Railroad for the purpose Of recovering money
paid for freight transportation in 1865 and 1866,
it being alleged that the freight rates then
charged were higher than was permitted by
the charter Of that company. One of these
suits was agued in Columbia, before Judge
Moses, in the Court Of Common Pleas and
General Sessions, last week, Hon. F. ". De-
Saussure and Hon. C. D. Melton appearing fol-
the railroad and A. G. Talley, ESQ.,. tor the
plaintiffs. After able arguments on both sides
Judge Moses, on Saturday, g. .nted a motion
TO non-suit the plaintiffs on the ground thai
they had made no protest at the time that the
transactions in question were entered into and
completed.

HEAVY ON THE SPRTUA1Isrs.-In accordance
with an order that was published in the NEWS
on Saturday, there was general closing of the
bar-rooms yesterday. The loungers around the
hotels we're disappointed and the church men,
bers who stepped in for their forty drops re-
tired with elongated countenances. As one
good result from this enforced closure there
were no cases registered on the Guardhouse
Books last night, and the only culprits to be
brought before the Mayor this morning are
those who fell from grace ard forgot their
equilibrium on Saturday. 0 Temporal, 0

MAYORS CoURT-SATURDAY.- coIored youth
explained the mysteries of the strap game to q
companion and euchred him out of his money;
but his victim referred the case to the Mayor,
who charged the gambler $40 for the first les
son.
A somnambulist, who walked off with four
shirts and then reposed on the pavement, was
charged SIS for the liberty he had taken.
A oolored beau thought to improve his per
sonal appearance by borrowed finery, and stole

ways were not appreciated, and the coat thiei
charged $50 for forgetting the eighth COM
mandment.
One of the street contractors, who failed to
remove some garbage. was fined IS for the sin
Of omission.
A noted publican who had put the enemy in
the mouths of men without paying the city for
the privilege, had s100 fine recorded against
his name.
Two Caucasians selected Longitude Lane as
the best arena to settle their little unpleasant
ness, and we're enforcing their opinions with
sundry blows when interrupted by the police.
AS these are the so-called piping times ofpeace,
fighting is not legal amusement and the war
riors were charged SIS each.
A colored man who was caught stealing cot
ton from Browns wharf, was charged $40 for
his operations in the staple. As he did not
sell his stock he can retire to the workhouse
and think over his misdeeds for twenty days.

old enemy-the bottle fend-for some time,

The next case was Mary, milesian who had
took SO many peeps in a bottle that she could
peep no longer, and fell victim TO the watch
ful police. She denied the soft impeachment,

a bad case of drunk, became furious ard smote
him in open court. Mary was speedily put out
and $40 put against her name.

WHO WILL START THE BALL ?--We concur
heartily in the suggestion made in the follow
ing letter, and recommend the matter to the
early attention of Mayor Cogswer. The west
ern part Of the city is not safe at night, and
garotters soon learn where they are most like
ly to be able to operate with impunity. More
policemen, or a permission for all responsible
citizens to carry arms for self-protecton, is alb
solutely necessary first is the better plan.
MARCH H. 1868.
To the Editors Of the Meas:
As the action of our military Mayor is replen-
ishing the city treasury, it now behooves the
citizens and property owners in the western
section to petition that an additional number
of night policemen be appointed for their pro-
lection. Who will start the ball
Who desires and are we not liable to meet
the fate of Mr.. Etter, chief clerk at the Arsenal,
who was attacked by highwaymen ION But
ledge, near RadcGffe) Thursday night last, and
despoiled of money and other valuables. From
the manner ofattack (blinding HIM, by throwing
sand in his eyes), it seems certain that 'sharp-
ers" are about. As there is military order
forbidding the carrying Of weapons for our pro-
lection, is it demanding too much that We be
protected by patrolmen? can ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure"
