Mr.. EDITOR We have just conclu.
ded pleasant visit, Of few days, IL
the town of Marion, S. c., of quondan
memory, situated on the Wilmington
and Manchester Railroad The popula.

political condition better than in some
other parts OF the State. by an effort

enterprising publisher, Sidney Il. Nc

ordeal through which she has passed ),

amiabilities AID virtues of life, shedding
her soft gentle rays Of light. as she
moves on her mission of glory and
usefulness.
The population of Marion has in
fcrcased considerably since the war, and
the heavy losses from the late fires will
scarcely stop the progress, as already
a portion Of the void spaces have been
supplied with new buildings, and the
promise is, that the whole empty area
will soon be filled with new and i'm
proved buildings.
There are in the town two coloted and
three white churches. The latter are
Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist.
The pulpit Of the first is filled by Rev.
j.. II. Dunlop, the second by Rev. DIR.
Rice, and last by Rev John A. Porter,
whose efforts to improve his people will
not be without fruit. The Methodist
Church 10 Marion, with all her losses
during the war, is, in material means.
one Of the strongest in the State, and
with her wealth, corresponding libcr
ality, her energies iu full play, and the
whole field under culture, has it iu her

The Sabbath School is must potent
Instruments large and interesting,
and how can it be otherwise under the
direction Of such men as Maj. j. r. N.
Tenbet, Superintepdant, and Maj.S. Il.
Mcmillan, who leads the singing.
AS another grand auxiliary, the
Church Of Marion needs total absti
nence temperance organization, with an
adult and Juvenile department, so as to
produce healthier public sentiment on
the use OF alcoholic stimulants-this we
regard as desideratum.

are informed that the humber Of bales
OF cotton passing through the hands of
the merchants is about three thousand

IRVING LITERARY Assoc1AT1oN.-we at.
tended literary and musical entertain.
ment of the Irving Literary Association Of
Pass Christian College, Thursday evening
last, at the Lyceum Hall in this citv.
The Pass Christian College band opened
the entertainment with fine piece OF
music, which was well executed. The
opening address from the president, w. R.
Brashear, followed, which was short and
appropriate. A thesis-"The mind of>Wo-
man not inferior to that of mana-by j. r.
Knapp, and dissertation-eT The great
and small phenomena of nature"-by ]. J.
o'horke, came each in order of succession,
followed by duo on the flute and piano.
by w. C. Flower and p. H. Mentz.
Next come an essay, by Ig. P. Devereux,
on the " Rise and Progress of Music - an
other, entitled The Diyine manifested in
the MATERIAL" by J. B, Seguin, an ora
ton on Christianity, the civilizinp
agent" by the President, and a Motto
recitation" Erin's hallowed scenesn-by
). ). o'Rorke, followed by another excel
lent performance from the band. The first
part OF the programme, or about half the
promised performance, brought us to ten
O'Clock, when we felt compelled to leave.
A literary entertainment, to be enterest-
ing, should not be long, and should have
some little animation infused into it, not
dependent on the music alone. There were
hve essays or addresses besides the poetic
recitation, and the music, before the de-
bate, and they occupied two hours and q
half. This was q great mistake. In the
first place they were too many. The essays
were well written, and very distinctly de-
livered, but with the exception of the ora
ton of he1president and the dissertation
by j. j. O'Rorke, they were too long and
too formally delivered to be interesting.
The gentlemen whom we except delivered
shorter addresses, in a lively, expressive
the animation with which thew
spoke showed that they mot 'only under
stood but felt what they said, and by at
bracting greater attention from the audi
ence made what they said more interesting.
We regretted very much that we were de-
Drived of the pleasure of hearing the de-
bate, the rest of the music and the closing
address by the lateness of the hour The
hall was well filed, particularly by the
aides, who seemed to be more numerous |

NEWS OF ARCHBISHOP OD1N.-Le PROMO
gdte"r of yesterday has the following in re-
lation to our venerable and beloved Arch
bishop:
we have received from Monsignbr Odin
letter dated April LIST, which is more re-
assuring than any we have received for
long time. He says:
The Improvement in my health since the
snow disappeared continues. L still feel
inc weakness caused by the oppression and
the winter, but the nourishment 1 take
agrees more with me; in fine, am much bet
ter than L have been for some time, can
reclte the holy office every day. Il can
oiter up the holy sacrifice on Sundays aud
feast days without being too fatigued and
the doctor thinks that in fortnight I
shall be able to otter it up every day.

THE REV. DR.. ANpERDoN.-Last SUN
day evening NC. attended the lecture de-
ilvered by this gentleman in st. Patrick's
Church. The subject, as we presume most
OF our readers will remember, was "The
Temporal Power of tho Pope aud the Coun-
Gil" The Doctor is a learned man as well
as good lecturer, and is perfectly familiar
with the history of the Church in all its de-
tails, its di6iculties and persecution at the
commencement, it's troubles with the East
ern Empire, and with the Northern barba-
rians, its struggles with the great heresy7. of
the sixteenth century, and with the inf
deity that followed it even up to the pres
emit day. His lecture was therefore iastrntc-
tive as well as interesting, and still more
SO, perhaps, from the fact that 1t was gem
orally understood that it was the last time
we would have the pleasure of hearing him.
When the Doctor leaves, he will carry with
him the respectful and grateful remem-
brance of many for his high abilities and
the KIND and courtly courtesy of his man
ners.

This ~ The inst Of May, the month 0
bright sums, clear skies, soft breathiDg wind
and sweet-smelling flowers, whom natur.
looks young and frcsh and blooming, th,
most beautiful of all the months. that max,
mp the year. From tbs mild temperature ana
general placidity OF It, weather, the briahi
ana fresh appearance Of it, foliage, And
she fragrance that 6lls the air, the month
was selected by the Church and dedicated
to tho special devotion OF her who. a Nav
is the brightestand fairest Of all the month:
was the sweetest, purest and best of ali
women. Hence it has been entitled the
month OF Mary, and Q series Of notifications
and prayers specially adapted to the vari-
ous circumstances of her life are recited
every day during the month in each church,
when practicable, either morning or even
ing, as may be directed by the pastor.
There is no obligation on any congregation
to attend, but for that very reason thew
who Voluntarily attend will have the greater
merit. If it is "a holy and wholesome
thought to pray for the dead, that they
may be loosed from their SINS" it is also q
holy and wholesome thought, comfort
able and cepsoling doctrine, that We can
pray to those who, having fought the good
fight on earth, and having triumphed over
death and the devil, are now in the full
enjoyment Of Gods glory in that kingdom
that shall last forever, and that our prayers
will be heard.
And when we consider that there IN one
who is higher than all those saints. who
is nearer and dearer to Him, who was bone
of her bone and flesh of her flesh on earth. |
at whose mere suggestion, even before His |
time had come, He turned water into wine |
at the wedding in Gallilee, should not our
faith be stronger and our hopes brighter
when humbly and earnestly we ask the as
sistance of her prayers in behalf of that
eternity which is to last forever. Her
heart was always gentle and full of sym
pathy for others, and to the earnest prayer
of SINGERS Christian she never turns a
deaf ear. Let those whose circumstances
permit attend those services regularly, and
they will feel conscious that they are bene-
fitted by them, for they are not only good
in their immediate effects, but they have a
tendency to inculcate and foster habit of
regular, continuous prayer, which is a great
check on human nature. Let them remem-
Der, also, that they who ask for the assist
ance OF her prayers more, frequently in life
will be more likely to have it in the hour
of their death. w

Laying the Cornerstone.

ed filed with NtRsns and when the girls
came forth first, in hIes that seemed inter-
minable, We felt almost like asking our
selves, I" Il it possible that all the children
in New Orleans are girls Z" Bnt when the
the long column of girls at last ended, and
the boys followed, we were only the more
astonished, and could not help thanking
the Lord that had given SO many fine-
looking children to our people, and that
was 80 beautifully multiplying the coming
generation. Before the end Of the column
came forth from the church, the front. with
st. Mary's cornet band at it's head, was
crossing Camp street two squares below,
on it's route to the ground where the new
building is being erected. We do not be-
lieve that there was any regular attempt
on the part Of the citizens generally to
unite with the procession, for the streets
were too crowded to admit it, or to admit
any body on the outer edge of the crowd
to see whether there was or not We
moved towards the ground, as we saw
others do, and with some difficulty we
gradually worked our way to the platform,
ut the farthest end of the lot from the
street.
After q while came the music and the
procession. The platform was SION filed
with the band, the orphans and the eccle-
siastical train, with the Right Rev. Bishop
Perche at the close. Our Bishop elect ap-
peared looking remarkably we'll in his
costume, which seemed to sit be-
comingly on him, and though grave sense
Of dignity seemed stamped upon his fine,
massive countenance, he really appeared
20 look ten years younger than when we
'aw him last.
z The crowd was very great, the street in
ront was full, the entire space in and
'round the foundations of the building was
closely packed, and after little the plat
orm was too crowded to admit of our see
ng the Bishop in his chair, or the Rev.
Father G. Moynihan, who delivered the
address,. The Rev. Father delivered an
EXCELLENT practical address, pointing out
he Injurious consequences of Il mere secu-
ar education, and the absolute necessity ,
f com bining religious with secular instruc-
ion. He was, most of all, opposed to q
ystem of education that excluded all rei ,
ious instruction, because he thought any !
eligion was better than none. Before :
losing he complimented Father Kenny for :
ne zeal with which he was carrying out 80 +
God work, and the congregation of St. !
'heresa's for the liberal and generous man .
er in which they have aided and assisted
heir worthy pastor. .
The crowd was 80 dense, and we had y
orked ourselves into place from which Il
Q could not we'll extricate ourselves until f

'able to get good view of the ceremony +.
