scarcely any bills due longer than a year.
The Prince balance at his bankers to-day
will more than suffice for every claim. Je
is true the Prince is unable to live within

The Orleans Dramatic Association brought
its series Of entertainments for the season
to close by rendering complimentary
benefit to Miss Minnie Doyle, which benefit
performance occurred at the Opera House
last night. The audience was large one.

deserved. The play was T. w. Robertson's g

1t is safe to say that "Ours," upon the
whole, has been much better performed
Perhaps from the short time allowed for
study and too few rehearsals, several of
the amateurs were not perfect in their lines.
Mr.. Stern was seen at his best. Mr. Bean.
ham made character of the Sergeant, the
father of twins and hero of the Crimea
Miss Doyle was perfect. and gave as good
representation OF Mary Netley as could be
desired. She received an enthusiastic re-
ception, and was laden with floral offerings,
among which was a basket of beautiful
flowers from her lady friends. At the close
of the second act she was presented with
an elegant watch 'and chain by Mr.. C. F.
Buck. on behalf of the association. His
words were most ftly chosen and eloquent.
The remarks of the lady in response were
few, but evidently unstudied and from her
heart. During the piece Mr.. J. H. Hisgen
performed satisfactorily upon the harmoni-
cum in Dutch character. The benefit was
in every way successful, and gratifying to
audience and actors.

GEORGE w. WILLIAMS & co.

A short time ago, "The Carolina Savings
Bank" an institution chartered at the recent
session of the Legislature, was organized in
Charleston, with George w. Williams, Esq,
as President. The time selected for naugu-
rating the enterprise was the thirty an
niversary of the founding of the firm Of which
he is the head, and was made the occasion for
banquet commemorative of the event.
Present on the occasion were the young men
employed in the establishment, number Of
lawyers, doctors, brokers, bankers, merchants,
ministers, etc. Mr.. Williams embraced the
occasion to make a speech, in which he gave
so much excellent advice to young men, that
we reproduce his remarks as reported in the
Ne,us and Courier Mr.. Williams said
Friends and Fellow. Citizens This being
the thirty second anniversary Of long busi-

you to unite with the partners and employees
of our firm in celebrating the day.
You must not imagine, because your speak
er has been the third of century engaged in
commerce, that he is an old man. Far from
it. The truth is, he began business in his
teens, and it is difficult for him to realize, to
this day, that he is anything but boy /!
Young or old, he has made up his mind that
his work is nearly accomplished; and that in
a few brief years the young men around him
must take his place in the busy marts of trade.
1t is his earnest desire to see them not only
successful merchants, but making for them
selves names honored in society.
1t is happy provision Of Providence that
we are permitted to take only retrospective
view of life If had known thirty-six years

Quoted at Bunker's Hill, on the 18th of June,
or those that were there properly supported,
the regulars would have met with shameful
defeat and a much more considerable loss
than they did, which is now known to be ex-

their behavior on that occasion that the above

HAPPINESS all who are happy are
equally happy is not true. A peasant and
philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not
equally happy. Happiness consists in the
multiplicity Of agreeable consciousness. A
peasant has not capacity for having equal
happiness with philosopher. This question
was very happily illustrated by the Reverend
Robert Brown "a small wine-glass and
large one may be equally full, but the large
one holds more than the SMALL

gentleman lately saw little boy leaning
against post in the eastern portion of the
city, putting energetically at full grown c-

citizen concluded to interview him, and, &C.

manly courtesy, which he probably had stu:

WHAT WASHINGTON THOUGHT OF MAS
sAcHUsETrs.- Southern Magazine prints
what purports to be private letters written by
George Washington to Lund Washington, a
kinsman of his, who was entrusted with the
duty of running the plantation during his abb
sence. One Of the letters purports to have
been composed in camp at Cambridge, and
bears date of August 20, 1775, that is, two
months or so after the Bunker's Hill affair.
In this letter the General informs his overseer
that Massachusetts people suffer nothing to

Further and worse

five captains for cowardice and for drawing

in their companies there are two more colo.

same offences. In short, they are by no means
such troops in any respect as you are led to
believe of them from the accounts which are
published. But l need not make myself ene-

it is consistent with truth. l dare say the
