LATER FBOH HAVANA.-The steamship Gulf Oily,
which arrived here yesterday, from Havana, has
brought late Havana files, from which we make
some extracts.
We translate from the Diario de ?a Marina
the following account of an engagement between
the Spanish and Chilian-Peruvian squadrons,
?wirioh accottnt is copied by them from Valparaiso
papers:
Her Majesty's frigates Blanca and Villa de Ma?
drid have rc tu mod from their Southern expedition,
having, on tho 7th instant, had an engagement with
tile Chilian-Peruvian squadron, which was united
and composed, so far as has been ascertained, of
tho frigates ADnrimac, Covadonga, America, Maipu
and Lerenndi, with some reserve steamers carry?
ing each a single gan. Inasmuch as our frigatos
bad to contend ia unequal combat against these
combined forces, besides being exposed to the
fire of land batteries, mounted by the enemy with
the guns taken fron the Am azonas, they of cooroo
received mach injury. Oar ships were struck
several times, but the da?inee was speedily reme?
died. One man was wounded in the Blanca and
seven in the Villa do Madrid. Tho Blanca fired
389 shots, the Villa de Madrid 280. The news of
the loss of the Peruvian frigate Amazonas and of
the steamer Tum bea has been confirmed.
MILITARY ARRESTS.-From the EdgeQeld Adoer
Hser, of Wednesday, wo take the following:
On Friday morning last a detachment of cavalry
arrived in our village from Augusta, bringing
with them Mr. Wilso a L. Coleman, of this District,
who had been arrested some ten days previous,
and a Mr. PoweU, from near Hamburg, also under
arrest. This detachment went into camp at tho
Fair Ground, near tbe village, and since thon
they have arrested Gen. M. W. Gary, S. R. Griffin,
Esq., Mr. Jesse GomiUion, Mr. Emslev Lott, Mr.
Johns Day and eon, James Day, Capt. James
??itchell and Mr. David Strother.
All of the above mentioned gentlemen, we un?
derstand, with the exception of the four latter,
left here for Colombia, auder guard, on Sunday
night last. Why they were arrested is beyond oar
conjecture, for they are all well known citizens,
ana have ever been esteemed honorable gentle?
men-men incapable of intentionally doing aught
that would blemish the character br in the least
effect the trne dignity of the good citizen and per?
fect gentlemen. Feeling satisfied that these gen?
tlemen will be able speedily to exculpate them?
selves from the charges, whatever they are, ander
which they were arrested, we hope very soon to
welcome them all home again.
A son of Mr. V. A Herlong was also arrested
one day last week and sent to Colombia.
A GALLANT GENERAL.-Notwithstanding tho
abuse which has been neaped upon General But?
ler from all parts of the country, there is ono
Shaso ?. his career which no print or speaker,
oath, West, East or North has yet adverted to.
Soring the late war Butler was a Major-General
Of volunteers, in the army of the Uuited Statos,
and up to the promotion of General Grant to be a
Lieutenant-General, was the equal, except as re?
garded seniority, of any officer ia the service. He
led armies, and administered the affairs ot' con?
quered Stritee. Duiid? his official oareer, General
Bntlor was a? ch-try of his reputation as any fiery
?oungster fresh from Weet Point or Annapolis
e puoished with fino or imprisonment, old men,
women and children, even for a look which threat?
ened him with insult.
But now that he has put off tho insignia of rank,
this cher shed Murs of New England bears thu
most searching imuwlo aud thu most direct iusult
?with an equanimity which might excite thc rivalry
of Job. General Gra'it accuses bim iu good sot

THE HOLIDAYS.
GOOD FRIDAY-EASTER-PASSOVER.
Jows and Christians,- believers in tho Old Dis?
pensations and tho Now, this da; onter npon thc
celebration of their respective ve oal feasts. Wo
neod not toll our readers that Utk, ia Good Friday,
and next Sunday Easter ; but some of thom may
not know that this evening commences the Jewish
Passe "er. We will givo a brief sketch of each of
j these three fasts and feaetB.
Good Friday.
Tho Christian Church throughout the world,
with comparatively few exceptions, haa ever ob?
served the anniversary of the death of our Sa?
viour; and wo think this is as it should be; for
whatever the doubts may be in reference to the
chronological correctuess cf the 25th of December,
as the birth day of Christ, tho date of his death j
and resurrection are clearly marked by their rela?
tion to the foast of Passover, i?ut even if there
were doubt in tho dato of these also, the celebra?
tion of Good Friday and Easter would not, there?
fore, be less proper. We know that the followers
of CALVIN have always discouraged the observance
of all these church festivals; ?nd none more so
than the Puritans of New "uglaud. This was,
however, nothing moro than a rebound from the
abuses and superstitions into which tho observ?
ance of all holidays had fallen, about the time of
the Reformation. And while th a Catholic Church,
perhaps, has too many festivals, the Calvinists,
we behove, err on tho olhor Bide, by discounte?
nancing thom altogether.
Thc annual commemoration of the Crucifixion
ia eminently proper, and cannot but bo beneficial,
to tho Christian. We observo tho anniversary of
the death of those we love, as it returns year by
year; how much moro ought we to pay this honor
to Him, who suffered death for us all;-who died,
after suffering the moat intern;o physical and men?
tal agony,-borne down with the weight of the
Bins of a whole world,-the sins of centuries gone,
and of the ages yet to come.
Good Friday is observed both in Catholic and
Protestant Churches with great solemnity, as a
day of fasting and prayer. Ia Borne the ceremo?
nies are of a very imposing character, and both
the devout and the curious repair thither from
distant parts of Europe and America, to witneas
the splendor of the ritual. The churches are
draped in black; the bells are muffled; the dolor?
oua Miserere moves all eyes to tears, varying only
in minor points, according to the peculiar customs
of the place.
A most carious custom prevails in aome parts
of Catholic Germany, during Lent. The church
bells (and no churoh there ia without them), are
supposed to have gone to Borne; they do not call
to prayers, as is their wont. A substitute is re?
quired, and furnished In tho form of crowds of
boya, going through the different etreots of a
town or a viii ago, at certain hours of the day and
night, dilling pooplo to prayers with wooden
rattles r.nd clappers of varions sizes and descrip?
tions. During Passion Week the calls to tho
sanctuary aro so frequent, that tho "rattlers"
never get off tho street at ali. Thu bells are sup?
posed to get back nn Saturday Just in time to
greot in tho glorious Eaator morn in a merry joy?
ous peel. Lu some parts of Germany the rattling
is confined to Holy Week, and not extended all
through Lont. The boys, from the ages of six to
fifteen, go from house to house, during tho latter
part of Passion Week, and levy coutributioja of
eggs from the pions, good-natured housekeepers,
by way of reward for their rattling labors. These
oval presents aro stored up for Ostereier, and a
boy, who is a good beggar, has his six dozen or
more Easter eggs, and can "tip" with all oomers.
Sometimes, of courso, two factions of rattlers,
geographical parties,-up-towners and down?
towners-get each other by the hair or shirt
collars, and ply the rattles fred}', on each other's
Loads. Wo have not unfrequontly seen sovere
battles among these village Hampdene.
Aa Good Friday has very generally been ob?
served by the community of Charleston hereto?
fore, our readers will not expect any paper to?
morrow,-printers being great stioklers for old
customs. Our typos would not work on a churoh
holiday for the world; not that they aro more re?
ligious than other people, but they have a great
and laudable reverence for old customs.
Easter.
The Church, fro an early poriod in its history,
has observed the anniversary of the Resurrection
of our Saviour with joyful solemnity. Tho event
commemorated is well caloulatod to awaken feel?
ings of gratitude and exultation in every heart.
The Resurrection is the keystone of the scheme of
Redemption-tho crowning glory of the Christian
system. It marks the completion of Christ's
mission on earth, and the ampio fu Ailment of all
tho Messianio prophecies.
There are, moreover, circumstances of au ex?
trinsic nature, that unite in making Eastor a aoa
eonof cheer?ulnebs aud festivity. Tho closing of
Lent,-tho emerging of the Church from a long
season of fasting and mourning, onco more to as?
sume tho garb of joyousness-cannot but throw
an air of brightness over the feast. All natura
seems lu sympathy with thc rejoicing Christian,
and at thia time shakes off tho -intry torpor,
lays by her sombre garments, and arrays herself
in all the beauty, aud soft, lovely tints of early
youth. Tho seed, buried in the earth through thu
dreary winter months, lue germinated, and bursts
forth into leif ?nd flower, gladdening tho eye,
and rejoicing tho heart with promise of tho lus?
cious ?mit.
The forests and tho fields, lato HO Moak, bare,
and uninviting, now burst forth in vernal bloom,
euch ?sy adding to their loveliness. Beneath the
spreading oaks and the sombre, melancholy pine, J
spring up innumerable flowers,-Ibo modost d.iixy
mingling its purple tint, with the various ahadeB
of Kreon, ia which it stands embosomed. All Na
turo comes forth, clothed in tho garb of spotless
youth ami innocence,- fit bride of East? r, fit em?
blem ot that new Uro, ch^t glorious second birth,
on which tho Beanrectioo of Christ has placed tho
Beal.
In thc early days of tho Church, the observance
of Easter was characterized bv groater festivity
than oven Christmas, and so it is still in several
of tho conni rice of Enrope. Ou Saud?y the
Churches aro adorned with flowers; lilies and
others, emblematic of purity. At Christmas thev
were decked with Ute dark stronsj.leafed hotly and
its red borriea, typifviug tho thorny crown and
bloody drops, that eat on tho brow of Cl;rial.
This now has passed away. His grief and bitter
sorrow have ended in the crown of glory,-and
the freshest and brightest cf Nature's gifts lend
their aid to grace the event:
-" The wind and tho brooklet
Murmur gladness and peace,-God's peace!
With Hps rosy tinted whispered the race of the flowers;
and merry, on balancing branche?,
Birds were singing their carol, a Jubilant hymn to the
Highest,"
In Germany and other countries inhabited by
nations of the Teutonic family, Easter eggs form
a noted foaturo of the second day of this season.
The ingenuity of schoolboys and their indulgent
mammas is taxed to the utmost to devise a varie?
ty of pretty tints for their eggs. Every child (up
to the age of 13 or 14, when he is confirmed, and
coaseo to bo a child), goes to his godfather and
godmother, where a substantial present of caito
and dyed eggs is in readiness for him. The chil?
dren all have now clothes on Easter Sunday, and
whon they are eeen walking through thostrotta
with thoir snowy napkins rull of sponaorial good
things, their faces fairly shine with happineiss.
This is a time-honored custom, in high repute
among tho children, and long looked forward to
with the most glowing anticipations.
Easter 8unday ia a holy day, whi.? Easter Mon?
day ie a holiday, usually devoted to pic-nica, aud
various rural sports. Easter being the beginning
of the ecclesiastical year, Monday ia generally the
day for transacting tho sec.ul.ir business of eccle?
siastical bodies: churches elect their vestries,
wardens, otc.
The derivation of the term Easter is involved in
obscurity; varions roots haring been BUirge-'*-! for
tho word. Tho oac now moat general'}- ic ?,:c 1,
wo believe, ia tho Anglo Saxon y t, a rlo.nl, the
time of Easter beiog aubjacttd to tho continuai
rccurrcnco of tempestuous weather. Wo oannot
say that, wo accept this as tho true etymology.
Eostre, an imaginary goddess of light and spring,
worshipped by the Anglo Saxons, is by some con?
sidered the true origin of the term. Some of the
Germana derive it from Auferstehung (Resurrec?
tion). The truo meaning is a mystery yet; the
word will probably be found cognate witn Esther,
star. Astarte, Astraea, and others, of Persian
origin-denoting beauty.

The Jewish PASSOVZB is unquestionably the
olde it festival in observance among the civilized
people of tho earth. It waa ordained over S00O
years ago, to commemorate the exodus of th j
children of Ieratl from Egypt. Kingdoms and'
empires, peoples and dynasties, have sines come,
upon the v or id's stage, and again passed sway,
leaving scarcely a trace behind--while the Pass?
over is aa carefully, as rigidly, as univers illly ob
served now, as it was in the palmiest day s ol the
Mosaic economy. The Jewa have pas's >d through
innumerable vioiseitud-a since then; they have
been hold of low esteem, they have boon pennon
ted; thotr- .cry eziutonca often threatened;^?"
through it all they have preuerved their identity,
and the integrity of thoir religious creed, ordi?
nances and ceremonies-conspicuous among which
stands tho feast of PAS30VEU.
Tho divine authority for the feast is to be found
in thc twelfth chapter of Exodus: whore, after giv?
ing directions about tie slaying and eating of thc
paschal lamb, the im-piree! writer says : "Seven
days shall ye o&t unleavened bread: even thc first
day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses."
"And iu the flrat day thero shall bo an holy con
I vocation, and iu tho seventh day there shall be
an holy convocation to you; no manner of work
: shall be done in them, save that which ovory man
must oat, tl at only may bt done of you." "Seven
days shall there be no leaven found in your
houses."
j This ia nearly all MOSES says on tho subjeot;
but Tradition has h&ndod down innumerable mi?
nute directions for tho etriot fulfillment of the
foregoing command. Theee traditionary rules
Boon acquired tho force of law; and the Israelite
*of to-day acarcely knows tho difference between
the law of MOSES and tho 'iaws of the Elders;"
they are all equally binding.
LEAVEN {hametz) is the great bugbear of the
pious Jewish housekeeper at this season. Sho
takes time by the forelock, and commences brush?
ing, scrubbing and scouring, nearly a month be?
forehand, so as to ensure thorough cleanlicosB,
and an entire absence of possible crumbs of bread
ovon. Thia of course involves immense labor, and
no little expense. Fresh sets of cooking utensils
moat be need; so with all china and glass ware,
table cutlery, and whatever else is needed about
a h c-uae. These ?rdeles aro used for Passover only,
and then put away and locked np, till the next re?
turn of the seaeon. No broad can be need, made
with any kind of "rising." The German and
Poliah Babbie will not permit any grain except
wheat to be used in the preparation of matzoth
(unleavened bread), while tho Spanish and Por?
tuguese doctors authorizo the use of rice and
maize also. This flour is carefully ground, in
presence and under tho superintendence of some
reliable Jew, appointed for thia purpose. Tho
dough is then made of flour and water simply, and
alter being well worked with the hand, rolled into
thin biscuit, and quickly baked. This is the
etaplo article of food for eight days. For although
MOSES only enjoins tho observance of seven, the
Talmudists, who were fond of putting what they
called "a hedgo round tho Law," added au
( ighth, in case any ono should make a mistake
?'?ont tho commencement of tho festival, he
should i-1 ill bo ?atc, inasmuch as th?ru ia a day of
grace given. Nothing can better illustrate the
authority attributed to these subsequent tradi?
tional enan uents, limn thin, ol' adding au addi?
tional day : ' tho several feasts. Ti ia acknowledg?
ed by all, that it is not re quired by tho Law ol'
MOSES; that it is only a precautionary measure;
which, with tho present accurate knowledge of
astronomy, and carefully calculated almanacs,
can not reasonably bo contended to be now neces?
sary.
However, wc must not allow ourselves to be en?
ticed into perplexod questions cf controversy.
The Passover commences thia nvening at sun?
down,-this being tho 10th day of tbe first month
[Nissan), Anno Mundi 5626. To-day ia observed
aa a faat, in comm?moration of tho slaying of the
first-born in Egypt, when all tho first-born of Ia- j
i tel woro preserved alivo. All wa say here of thc
rites and cereraoivea, connected with thia feast,
of course has reference only lo such Israelites as
aro orthodox, i. e., believers in the faith of their
fathers, aud, moreover, strict observers of the
various customs and ordinances, deemed essential
to oonstituto snch orthodoxy. Tho spirit of Ibo
?ire hi3 not even pas* u thia ancient people br
nntoucheJ. Still what we here describo holda
good of the nation at large, and may, therefore,
be relied on AB a correct account.
A separate liturgy is in nao for each festival.
The male portion of the congregation repair to
the synagoguo, where the prayers for the evening
are ch aun tc d in Hebrew. At the conclusion of the
service, they go to their respective homes, where
the table is decked with the choicest damask; and
covered with, varions articles, emblematic of the
occasion, of whioh this is the anniversary. The
paschal lamb is not here,-as no sacrifices have
been offered since the destruction of tho second
temple; bnt ita type is prenent in the form ol a
piece of roast Iamb. "Bitter herbs" are here,
as enjoined in Exodus xii. 8, and also a mass of
meat and spices, typical of the clay of which the
bricks were made during their Egyptian bondage.
The father of the family reolinea upon cushions,
in orient?! style, In a loose robe f'loins girded,"
Ex. xii. ll], and leads tho devotions of the
famil?',-reading the Uaggadah, or . chronicle of
tho Exodus, with various prayers and psalms, all
arranged for this service. This consumes several
hours, when supper ia served. Tho whole ritual
of the evening is very solemn and impressive, and
this hight has ever been regarded as a season of
special sanctity.
Saturday and Sunday aro kept holy; tho next
four days are only half holidays [Choi Jlamoed),
when the ordinary duties of lifo may be attended
to; .Friday and Saturday next, the seventh and
eighth day of the feast, aro again strictly ob*
Berved,-all work suspended, and a long liturgy
read in the tynagogue. Saturday night, April 7,
the conuoieutioua Jew may again indulge in ba?
ker'.* bread and the various concomitant luxuries.
Wo cannot conclude this cursory sketch of tho
chief of JowiBh Festivals, without expressing our
gratification at tho lato re-union of tho two con?
gregations of Israelitoe in this city. They aepa
rateffr-.bout 25 yoara ago, on some minor ceremo?
nial questions, but time has worn away the acer?
bity, that existed then, und tho two are again
at-one._

Beware of Ambuscades!
Few people realizo the fact that disease lies in ambush
everywhere, ready to seize upon the weak. The strong
pass through many perils in safety; thestreogthless fall
by the wayside.
It ls amazing that the feeble abould totter with uncer?
tain steps over the face of the earth in danger every day
of falling victims to tb? morbid influences by which wa
are all surrounded, when a teated and proven vegetable
tonic, capable of endowing them with the riger they
need, is procurable in every cltv, town and settlement.
It might reasonably bo thought that after tho twelve
years' expedience which the world has had of Hoarrr
rzn's STOMACH BITTERS, ail would know that ita effect
ls to prevent diseaoo.
The fact is notorious that a dose of poison which will
scarcely affect a vigorous man ia perfect health will kill
a weak one. Now. what ia the cause of epidemic dis?
eases? Poison in the air. At this soason the atmos?
ph?re is surcharged with the seeds of inte mitt enta,
r?mittents, rheumatism, pulmonary disorders, bilious
complaints, and tho like. Persons whose norvons sys?
tems aro relaxed are the first to succumb to those dis?
tempers. Braco up the physlcil energies, then, with
this potential vegetable tonio. It is the most powerful
r?cup?rant which the botanic kingdom has ever yielded
to patient resesrch and experiment. Try it. The blind?
est disciple of Uu old medical dogmas will at least ad?
mit that a tonic and alterative, compounded ol approved
herliH, routs and bark* can do no harm, ?'hilo the tosti
mouy of thousands invites a trial of it J virtues.
