After twelve years of editorial labor the
AeV. Henry Ward Beecher sewers his
eollnection with the Christidn Union, and
un'h journal announces the fact and
publishes Mr.. Beecher's valedictory. He
resigns because of the pressure of other
uutles more important upon his time and
Strength, but especially because he pro-
poses to devote more time to church work.
and in common with other Brooklyn and
Atw York pastors take advantage of the
religious spirit of inquiry that seems TO be
aliakening in the churches and contrega
a'ns. The editorial management of the
9a4er will pass into the hands of the Rev
lyman Abbott, who has been associated
With Mr.. Beecher for several years.

One Objection! !
by THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.


Ihave only one objection,
Said a maiden to her lover,
] have only one objection
To the matter you propose;
/ would no longer tarry,
am ready now to marry,
But cannot wed q lover
In those unbecoming clothes
In vain the lover pleaded,
Urging many potent reasons,
But the maiden told him plainly,
That in spite of all his woes,
His suit would never move her,
Fornothing else would suit her.
"To no suit would she listen,
But genteel suit Of clothes"
To q hatters then he fastened,
Got his head genteelly covered;
Got patent leather casing
Neatly fitted to his toes:
But the words the maiden uttered
To his heart were sadly mutterd
ITO no suit will listen
But genteel suit of Clothes
The ertrcmes of his dilemma,
Head and foot of his offending,
By the hat and boots just purchased
He had happily got Ger;
But the lovers soul was daunted.
For he felt that what was wanted
Was genteel suit of clothing
In the place of that he wore.
He looked around. but was not suited,
And he almost wished the heavens
(Though the shining hat was on him.
On his aching head might TALL;
But. as up he cast his glances
Calculating on his chances,
His eyes, with admiration.
Were fixed on TOWER HALL.
Etlfeke! cried the lover.
IhdUe J0uRd it, that is certain
To Market street I'll hasten,
And OH the firm will call;
Though with sorrow am laden,
There does not live maiden
Who will not wed q lover
That is clothed at TOWER HALL
He went back unto his charmer
With suit of the Towers latest.
And the maiden filed with rapture,
In his open arms did fall:
Then the lover blessed the hour
When he gazed upon the Tower
Above the Clothing Palace
the famous Tower Hall.

TUESDAY. JANUARY 81.
An keeling Ocean Race.

We clip the following from late copy OF
the New Orleans Tunes Democrat, which will
be read with interest:
"Whew had trial with the bosses this
time,n was Capt. E. " Gager's greeting TO
a nautical friend, as he welcomed him on
board his steamship, the Louisiana, on Sat
urdsy morning. The above refers to the
usual Saturday night competition for speed
by the fleet of coastwise steamers that leave
New York for Southern ports.
The three fastest of these steamers are
the Louisiana, Newport and City of Angus
ia. The former ali our readers know; the
Newport runs to Havana, and the City OF
Augusta to Savannah. The Louisiana had
formerly thrown the gauntlet to the City of
Augusta, but the Newport had never cross
ed her track until December Sd, when these
three steamers, worth at least 81 SOC, 600,
steamed out of the New York harbor at
about4 p. m, in sight of each other, the
Newport five miles in the lead of the Louisi-
ana and the City of Augusta about two
miles astern.
On Sunday morning, the 4th instant, the
City of Augusta was out of the race, her
spars being just visible astern. Not so
with the Newport, however. She still had
the lead, and kept it until Monday morning
at 3 o'clock, when the Louisiana steamed
up alongside and passed her. After this
victory she slowed down to her usual num-
Der Of revolutions to bring her to our city
on Friday evening. This was an intensely
exciting ocean race, and one that has been
looked forward to with q great deal OF IN
terest, as the Newport is of the same size as
the Louisiana, and built especially to beat
her or any coastwlse steamer that floats.
But her builder will have to try again. And
we can claim, as we have before, that the
fastest coast wise steamship sfoat runs to
the city of New Orleans.
At the moment of passing the Newport
the Louisiana was making the extra ordinary
speed of IN knots an hour.

SHOT on THE STREET.


Last night about half-past seven o'clock
the neighborhood Of 0glethorpe square was
the scene of considerable excitement, re-
sulting from the rapid reports OF pistol in
the direction OF Abereorn and York streets.
Several gentlemen who were coming down
Abercorn street towards the Bay heard the
reports, succeeded by the cry Of
''Murder," and Immediately ran for
ward, following a number of persons,
who rushed into York street. Lying on the
ground in front of Egan's stable they dis
covered a youth by the name of Edwin
Henderson, who had been shot in the side.
The unfortunate lad was taken into the
stable, and DR.. 7. J. Charlton was sum-
moned to his relief, and shortly made
his appearance. On examination he
found young Henderson had been shot in
the left side, Just above the hip, the ball
lodging in the intestines, and the chances
are that 1t will prove fatal. As soon as pos
sible he was removed to the residence Of
his parents on Lincoln street.
The statement of the injured youth is
that he and comrade were playing near the
square, when w. G. Fairchild, who was
passing along the street, suddenly drew a
pistol and shot at him twice, both of which
shots he lodged, when q third shot was
fired, and with effec-, the ball striking him
in the side, and he fell.
Fairchild after shooting ran down the
street, but was pursued and captured and
taken TO the barracks, where, we are In
formed, he acknowledged that he had fred
the shots, but offered no explanation other
than saying he did not know why he bad
done so. Ia consequence of the critical
condition of Young Henderson no bail was
taken, and Fairchild was kept in eonine-
ment at the barracks. He was considerably
under the influence OF liquor at the time.

Mr.. Warde as Vtrsinfus,

Considering the excitements and attrae-
tions incident to the Christmas season, q
very good audience assembled at the Thea
ire last evening to witness the impersona-
ton of the ever popular character of "Vir-
ginius," in the play of that name, by Mr..
Frederick Warde.
This is a character well suited to Mr..
Warde's talent. He personsted the noble
old Roman father with great force and
feet, and elected hearty and deserved APP
plsuse. So favorable an impression did he
make upon his audience that he was COM
plimented with enthusiastic calls before the
curtain at the close of the third and fourth
acts, while when the curtain fell upon the
fifth and last act OF the tragedy, the mani
feststiOns of approval were decided and
universal.
The support accorded Mr.. Warde is also
good. each member Of the company sus-
tanning bis and her part TO the entire salts
faction OF all present. This afternoon the
Lady OF Lyons" will be given at matinee,
and to night Shakespeare immortal TRACE
dy of Hamlet will be presented. At both
occasions we anticipate good houses and
ENJOYABLE entertainments.

On Sunday afternoon about four O'Clock
the barn on the above named place, owned
by Mr.. Paul Pritchard, was discovered to be
on fire, the origin of which could not be
aseertained, but it is supposed to be either
ineendiarY or caused by the carelessness of
some parties who were hunting in the
neighborhood. The building was entirely
destroyed. The barn contained over
two thousand bushels of seed rice,
besides a small lot of crop rice,
also harnesses, fans, sifters. baskets, sheets,
fails, 200 new sacks, aud a number OF
farming implements. No insurance on the
barn or implements, but the rice is insured
for IS 600 in a company represented by Mr..
e. A. Rsitze. About 800 to 400 bushels of
the crop rice was saved. There was some
Of the seed rice also saved. but in a damaged
condition. The fire was subdued by
o'clock Monday morning.

shot In the Head.

We learn that on Saturday night the train
coming out OF Charleston was crowded with
negroes who were more or less under the
Influence of liquor, and consequently in
elined to disorder. Nothing, however,
occurred until the train was some distance
from Charleston, when the bell rope was
suddenly rung and the train came to a stand
still The conductor, who was in the first
class coach collecting fares, fastened for
ward to ascertain the cause and learned
that the occupants in one of the second
class cars-all negroes, returning to their
homes from q trip to Charleston-had got
into some dispute, during which three pistol
shots were fired, and one man had been
killed. Investigation showed there had been
a serious row, and shots we're fired. That
more injury was not done is a miracle. One
negro vas shot in the head, the ball enter
ing the forehead and passing out at the
back OF the head. The negro who did the
shooting pulled the rope which stopped
the train. and he then immediate ~
jumped of the cars and disappeared in the
woods. The wounded man was left at
NcBean's Station, where he lived, and II
is not known whether his injuries proved
fatal or not.

The Celebration Of ohrl..mas.

Yesterday was by general consent, as it
were, observed as the Christmas holiday,
and business was almost universally sus-
pended. The forced abstinence of many OF
the bibulously inclined, in consequence of
the closing Of saloons on Sunday, was fol-
lowed yesterday by free indulgence, and
the various saloons were extensively patron
ized. There were necessarily many intoxi-
Gated men, white aud colored, to be seen
on our streets, but during the forenoon
there was no disorder Of any kind reported.
This may have been due partially
to the very inclement weather, the rain fall
leg 10 torrents the greater portion Of the
day. In the afternoon towards five O'Clock
the clouds began to break and it was evil
dent that the night would be clear. The
various squares in the city were throDged
with BOYS, and immense bOnires were
started. There was a general display of
fireworks, and from seven to ten O'Clock the
foundations in different parts OF the city
were grand.
There were several accidents among the
boys, none serious, from firecrackers aud
Roman candles.
There were several fights and one serious
shooting STRAY during the day, of which
special mention is made elsewhere.

Handsome Furniture for the Holt
daHa.

In this practical age those who wish to
commemorate the holidays are on the look
out for something useful to purchase as a
substantial testimonial to their loved ones,
who know that they are remembered, and
nothing could be better for this purpose
than a handsome set of parlor or bedroom
furnitssre, q comfortable rocker. or any OF
the many articles which now comprise the
stock Of a modern fuTnitare house Then a
new carpet or curtains, or both,
win prove q practical token OF affec-
ton, and at the same time, IL
the donor be the head Of the family, he can
also enjoy the comforts which his gift may
bring 10 the household. If this be the
method in which our citizens propose to
celebrate the holidays, they should visit
Messrs. Allen & Lindsay, 100 and III
BrOughton street, where they will find the
largest stock Of furniture and carpets ever
seen in a Southern house.-AdV.
