THr MrIHopBf SUNDAI SCHOOL UNION
P1cs1c yesterday At the schuetzsnplatz. allu-
sion 10 which We have before made, was
grand success. Soon slter six o'clock A. NJ,
the streets in the neighborhood OF the Ann.
street depot Mepe thronged with crowds OF
smiling children ard their friends, hurrying to
the train. AT seven O'Clock the whistle blew,
and the locomotive moved of, putting vigorous
" under the e1ertion Of pulling sixteen closely
packed cars. In afsw moments the city was
left behind, soon the objective point was reach
Z ed, and than the living cargo poured out from
the cars, and. in procession, marched down
3 the avenue leading to the Platz, and, entering,
all at once gave themselves up to every man
ner of amusementincident to Sabbath School
picnic. Swings were soon oscillating, balls
were bounding, hoops were being trundled,
dancing. ropes were making frequent revolu-
.tions. aud the merry shouts Of the boys, the
musical laughter OF the girls. and the free and
friendly conversation Of those Of mature years,
proclai6led unmistakably the happiness which
psrvaded every breast and gave animation
to every countenance. The morning was
spent most pleasantly, and then the baskets,
bountifully supplied with sabstantials and deli
cacies Of every kind, were brought out, and
groups gathering around them with appetites
sharpened by active physical exercise, did full
Justice to their contents. The sports OF the
afternoon were but repetition OF those OF the
morning, but were entered upon with unfiag-
eipg zeal, il not with an increased interest,
and 'sall went merry as q marriage bell" Six
o'clock, the hour for leaving, came too early all
thought. In fact We heard one little fellow
wishing tho s'picnic would stay five weeks"
but all things, pleasant as we'll as disagreeable,
will come to an end, and returning to the cars,
the city is soon reached, and in many happy
home the Incidents Of the day formed plea
,sn. theme Of chat. Among those participat-
mo in the festivities Of the occasion we no.
scsd the Rev. A. NJ. Chrietzberg, Rev. Johp
r. Wiehtman, Rev. W. P. Mouzon, Rev. J. 4.
PICKETT. Rev. R. G. Oliver, ofspartanburg, and
Massra. F. J. Pelzer, Ssml. A. Nelson and ]. s.
Martin. There were present, probably, be-
tween one thousand and twelve hundred per-
.ons We congratulate our Methodist friends
upon the, complete ~ gratifying success Of
their festival, and predict for their Sunday
schools larger prosperity as the result OF this
nost pleasant union gathering.

ArrEnrkD BURGLARY N UN1rx AILEY.-An
attempt was made on Wednesday night to
break into the premises Of Messrs. Recke &
Schachte, at the corner OF the Bay and Unity
Alley. On the shutters Of tue windows in the
alley the rusty marks Of q chisel or crowbar
we're visible, but the burglars did not succeed
In getting into the store. They were doubt
less frightened off by passers-by. Unity Alley
is regular thoroughfare, especially at night,
and had formerly city lamp. This is essen
.;al to the protection of the valuable property
abutting on the alley, and it is hoped that the
city authorities will at once restore the lamp to
its old place. No more will then be heard Of
burglaries in Unity Alley.

THE GROWING CoTIoN.-We are indebted to
faciorage house for the following intelligence
IN reference to the action of the iate unseason-
able wealth ,r on the cotton plant:
GREENWOOD. MAY 10. 1s69.-The weather
continues very cold, and we are now sleeping
unde: blankets, the same rs in December.
The cotton is diving out. and the stand is bad.
In the upper districts the frost has swept it,
and seed IS scarce.
MIDWAY May 10, 1869.-Yours received, and
hasten to answer. Cotton has been seriously
injured by recent cold, and, owing to the
scarcity of seed in many parts OF this county,
bad stand must be had. Out of twenty-six
acres l can only count, at present, on sixteen.
ARREST OF SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER. = A
white man was arrested yesterday. who has
been playing deep game Of deception for some
time, in the guse OF Cuban sympathiser an |
recruiting agent for the insurgents. He has
been lettering around the Florida steamers Tor
some time, spinning yarns out Of the whole
cloth. Several articles have been lost, also a
large lot Of greenbacks, belonging to Captain
McNelty, o. the Dictator. few days ogo one
of the Florida steamers was robbed, and no
clue could be found to the perpetrator Cap
tain Mcmillan, OF the City Point, had lost his
gold spectacles very mysteriously. The steam
er was to have gone to sea night before last,
but was detained By the weather, and during
the detention one oil her officers rooms was
entered and robbed, and coat taken, which
could be identified. Yesterday this suspicious
character and Cuban agent was seen with the
identical coat on, and hence his arrest. It is
thought that the whole series Of thefts have
been his work.
