Brevet Major General Ames, accompanied by 1ajor Roy, 6th, U- S. Infantry, Major Totten, In spector General on General Meade's staff, and Surgeon Smith, Medical Director of this depart ment, arrived here last Thursday afternoon and returned to Columbia Friday morning. The General was on a tour of inspection through this depirtmens- During his twenty-four bours' stay here, he inspeeted' the gnrrison, examined the status of affairs generaDy, and had: an agreealle istepviw with some of'our- itizens. n|o BSMM roteL Tie-trireling public will be heartily glad to learn that their old favorite, Butterfield, 'is bhu self again, and in the same old place, the- Pavil j"a; corner of Meeting and Hasell streets, which he-has repaired, refitted, rejuvenated and refur nished, in the most appro-ed and comfortable marner, and after the order- Butterfield. We are glad to hear of it, and for his sake, the pub lie's, and our own, rejoice, and shall take an early eccasion to visit the city, revive old memories *ith a sight of old Butt., and a 'feed' at his well edered t:o.rd. The location of this house is central, in the midst of business, and presided over, as most of people know who know any thing, by one competent to keep a hotel.

We learn that the President of this road ha, determined, in his desire to accommodate the travelling public, to resume the old plan of re turn tickets, good forone day. The regular rate at present is eight cents per mile, the return ticket will be only ten centL, or five cents each way, lessening it almost one half. In this connection, we are happy to state that te distanee of break on this road is bei-Ig rapid. ly and surely lessened. In a very sbnr; time, we wit be able to give the gratifying intelligence that the river will be the- only point of disco-i nettion, and tbei, well we will go through in about half the time, half the expense, and with more than double the amount of sa,tisfaction now eipereaee Bear patiently then wi-h the present' arrangemient, or more fitly spcaking de amgngeent, for it will soon be all "setti1.g up' -right and tight. None but those behind the scenes know ot the thousand difficulties that the comipany7 have to contend against, and how stren. nous the exertions to overcomne them, to give the publio the old time accommodation of uninter rupted travel, and moderat'e fare. To Cmrrespondenta. H. S. B., of Frog Level, is respectfully inform ed, in ianswer to query why his paper has been - oos.sd long ere the suliseription is out, and why it failed to reach him last week, that the first charge is owing altogether to thle fact of his be Jng in bad company,his name unfortunately hap. pening to be in between two others whose time had~ expired and who would not pay up. It wai so easy to mark all three; but it shall not ocem aamn. The ne it charge, "why it failed him en tirely," is bard to answer; if our fault, we apolo gize, if any one -else's, we grieve with him that it happened; and hope it will be regular hereafter. E. H.

Eater Sunday. This Is a festival of the Church which has been observed for many ages, by the followers of the Redeemer. It is a moveable feast:-hence it somnes is earlier than it is at others.-This will very easily be understood, when the follow ing rule is recollected-viz: "Easter-day is al ways the first Sunday after the Full Moon which happe"s upon, or next after, the twenty-first day of Afarch : and if the FU Yoon happen upon a Sunday Easter-day is the Sunday after." Anoth er fact is stated by Wi. Hone in his "Everyday Book" that may well be remembered, viz: The earliest posile day, whereon Easter can happen, in any year, is the 22d of March. It fell on that day, in 1838, and cannot happen again on that iy il the year, 225." "The laefo pevile day whereon Eater can happen is the 25th o April." This festival is commemorated by the Lutheran, Epkcopal and Roman Catholic Churches, in Eu rope I beliere, with great regularity, as the year passes on, and the time for its observance comes. Connected with this season of commemoration in the Church. are many innocent amusements, in which the people indulge. As these are tole rated by the Church, it is supposed, and correct ly too, that there is no harm in these amuse ments. There are certain customs prevalent in some sections of the country, which are supposed to be peculiar to such sec*ion; such as the coloring of eggs for Easter. This has generally been thought to be peculiar to the German people; and it was broughi by them from the.Fatherland. But this custom prevails in some sections of England; CumberlapJ fW instance. The descendants of the Germans in this State, always prepared their eggs for Easter, and had much amusement in the sport of pecking eggs; the points of the eggs were struck against each other, and he, whose eg; broke the other, took the broken egg, as the spoil or game of victory. J. A. J., rf this district, many years since, gave an Easter egg to A, G. S., which was color ed about the year 1830, or perhaps before. He kept one himself which was colored a year be fore. About this period, this custom was in full vigor-it began then to wane, and has been grad. ually going out of use, until it has almost been forgotten. Whether the two eggs, referred to, are in existence now, I am not able to tell. They were reminiscences of old times, and bring up pleasant recollections of youthful days. These have passed away, and we must address ourselves to the present. Pardon this scrawk- Occasionally I s1.all trou ble yout with some effusions similar to this. ANTIQUARY. For the Herald. The What f(ot Club. "Blessed is he that expects nothing for he shall not be disappointe,d." Such was the text of a series of papers written aid published some years ago, before the war, by a society of Friends, (not Quakers,) calling themelves the "What Not Club." I met the survivors of the Brotherhood the other day and my thoughte-immedittely reverted to that joyous season, when R. and W. and T., and our old friend Peter, used' to' meet at the Clubroom at the corner, and make old Time him self smile at their gay good humor. It seems no longer ago than yesterday, yet the headi of S. is~ becoming gray ; W. who was once the gayest of the gay, and the best dancer in the burgh, nou hobbles weakly oncrutches, and is seldom seen to smile ; care and suffering, and Time- having done their wonted work. R. sleeps in a name less grave in Virginia ; and T. was slain at Atlan ta. Our old friend P~eter is about yet; he never having gone to the wars, being unfit for service on account of age and infirmity. C. still live.e, but has become morose and surly, (that is, he pretends to be,) and frequently declares that the world is utterly unfit for a decent white man to live in,-and wishes for nothing better than for it to wind up. S., the present writer, is still gay at heart, though his face shows the marks- of Time and care ; though his lumrd'and the hair of his head are becoming gray; and though he walk: somewhat feebly on account of a wound in one of his legs, and a sharp rheumatic twinge in the other. W. and C. and S. and the old man Peter, are all that now survive- of a once large circle of friends. We purpose, Mr. Editor, to renew our Iintercourse; to meet together again and again, and to kindle again the fire of friendship that once so cheered and warmed and invigorated us. I find that my old friend Peter, (although a stran ger might suppose that he already had one foot in the grave,) is as full of his quips and quitk: as ever ; and'twice-in the last two weeks have ] burst three buttons off "that; waistcoat" laughing at his odd jokes. W., althouth his dancing days are over, has some sap in him still, and smiles m~grimly at the crustiness of C., and the oddities of rPeter and S. Ahs ours is a literary club, Mr. Editor, we pur pose, with.Jour permission, to let our light shine rupon the outside world through your paper asa medium. We believe that we can amuse and, i may be, instruct others. Although t.he School master is abroad, and we rejoice to know it, yet -the Schoolmaster himself cannot lecture upon all subects ; and let him do his duty as faithfully a. le may, he finds at last that he has only planted -the seeds of instruction,~ and that the soil inus -'be tilled, and the young plante carefully weeded by other hands. He has several times acknowl eiled o u, wthtears in his eyes, thttheso he cultivates is frequently stony anid harsh, ani ful of briers and ugly weeds. Hfe has our earnest sympathies. His careworrn face and stooping gal are indicatis e of one bent upon doing his duty; and who feels seriously the weight of responsi Ibiity that rests upon him. We do not purpost to take his place. His sphere is one, ch n< one can fill half so well as he. ay all te fate: forbid that we should ever try. We fear tha our orb would become dimmer and dimmer unti it wou'd be lost in a gulf of darkness. His orn Ishines and grows brighter and brighter from dal today and can never grow less. So let it be But though we cannot presume to take upon our selves the duties 'of the Schoolmaster, y.'t w< hope, before long, to count him as one of us We hope by ourgenial sympathy to lighten hi -brdens and cause a smile to light up his counte nnce, and raise a gentle ripple of.cheerfulnes: Supon a mind prone to too serious views of life SNo, our views of life cannot be too serious ; by Slet it be borne in nmind that a profound serious ness is not incompatible with a cheerful and hope ful spirit. Our motto strikes the golden mueal Sbetween the sanguine heart that expects every athing, and the desponding spirit that droop shrouded in gloom before every little cloud c adversity. Although its langusaage is not very dignified vet we think it contains a profbund and truthfu aphiosophy. That philosophy we hope to chiminat and by its wisdom we hope to be guided in th luubrations, wl,ich, by your periss&on, wemea to give to the world. LOCAL ITENS. The concert, by the minstrels, last Friday evening was as usual felicitous. We-learn that they perform again next Monday night. REUorous NoTC.-There will be divine ser vice in Aveleigh (Presbyterian) Church, on Sun. day next, by the Rev. R A. Mickle. After service there will be a meeting of the congregation. Mr. J. H. Latimer will accept our thanks for a batch of late Nashville papers. We see from them that the population of that city is increas ing rapidly, and that trade was neT.r better. Immense quantities of corn, mules, &c., are shipped from that point. Dr. CAPFRS, it will be seen, has opened a school for young ladies and gentlemen, in Penmanship. The doctor's style of chirography is very fine, and his ability to teach the beautiful art cannot be questioned. Therefore, all who desire to write a legible and "pretty hand" had better avail thdmselves of the opportunity. CHANGE OF GARRisoN.-We notice with satis faction the arrival of Capt. Murray, 25th 0. ., who takes charge of this department, and who supersedes Lt. W. Fouts. This change no one will perhaps regret. Capt. M's short sojourn with ns last summer was marked by a gentleman 1Ily deportment, and an impartial administration, which won him the good opinion of our citizens. He comes to us now very opportnely, and ours short interview with him, confirming that opin ion, gives us the assurince that his course of action will be what is reasonably expected of one in the position of a public gu_-rdian. His com mand will number about 28 men. The superse ded garrison left on. Mondty. We are imformed that a branch of the Freed man's Bureau is established here under the direc tion, of Lt. Ziegler, act'g Sub. Assistant Com missioner. Lieut. Ziegler's office is in the Court House. NEW ADvER'TisrvMENTs.

Any one going there for a fit and a good one too, must certainly now get it, for there is no such thing as fail. It makes no difference whether you be as talt- as a pine, big as the side of a meeVing house, or on the bantumn order, go to Wright & Coppock,, and they will cover you most satisfactorily. 1)rAL & PoPE--The.oe gentiemers are itmpetters of an kinds of Elnglisfr and American Hardware and cutlery, Rubber and Leather .Blting, &c.

SIGNET CHAPTER-Meets Monday, 9th of ApriL. SPEEcH OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON -In an swer to the address of the French Senate, ;Na. poleon said: The moral world, like the physical, Sobeys certain general laws, which cainnot be in -fringed without danger. It is not by daily weak. ening the base of an ediflce,.that the crowning og the building is accelerated. My Government u~ not stationary ; it advances, and :t means to ad. vance, but on a ground consolidated, and! capa ble of sustaining power and liberty. Let us call to our aid progress in all its forms, but let um 81build up, layer'after le ver. that, great pyramid, which has for its' base uiaiv6rsalsfrgeanfo Sits summit~the civilizing genius of France. Rai Roea Charge& To Edilor f the Courier t-In your issue of 21st, "Moderation" propounds some questions and'advances some statements, to which I pro pose a brief reply on a few of the points em braced in his article. First, as to the cost of getting a barrel of flour to Greenville. - His state ment is that it costs $9.70. I find upon inquiry and reference to the Freight- Tariff of the South Carolina and Greenville and Columbia Rail Road the cost to be thus: Drayage in Charleston (5 barre' to a load)..0.15 Freight, South Carolina Rail R ad to Co lumbia .........................0.75 Dravage in Columbia ... ................0.10 Freight, Columbia and Greenville, including hauling rou:d break on G. & C. R. R... .$2.30 Total cost.................... ..--.30 If one barrel has to pay full drayage in Charles ton, then the cost is $3.40. I have been informed that the charge for pas ge on the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road was at the rate of ten cents per mile, and the stage fare $3.00; but that the fare was to be, and I think is now, reduced to eight cents per mile. When we take into comsideration the incremsed cost of all articles needed rnd nsed by rail roads, in repair of track, motive and car power. etc., some or most of whien are increased one tt, two hundred per cent, over their cost before the war, I do not think that an increase in the rates of fare and freight is unreasonable when made to cover the increased cost of what they hare to purchase to put their road in order. As to the right of making the scale of charges for passages or freight, a reference to the char ter of the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road would settle the question. As to the question of monopoly and imposition I will not go into argu ment, but beg to be allowed to state one instance in regard to the action of the Pre-ident of the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road in regard to refugees,that has come to my knowledge. A widow lady of this city made her destitute condi tion known to him, and he very properly allowed her a free passage for herself and family of' chil dren. - There may be other instances of like kind. As far as my information extends, and I thnik I will be borne out by the testimony of others of our city, I think that the charge of "im poQition" cannot well be laid to the President andDirectors ef the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road. No further communication on the sub ject will be made by FAIR PLAY. [Charleston Courier. PEIONAL APPEARANCE OF PRESIDENT JorN soN. -A Washington correspondent thus sketches the personal appearance of President JoNso, as seen by him upon the delivery of his speecb on the 22d of February : "Mr. Johnson is a man of stalwart mould. Just above middle stature, be is so broad shouldered, firm set, and deep-cbested, as al most to seem below it. Ha has a large head. It isa compact home for his fiery will and brain. His face is marked ; strong oval outline, long, powerful under jaw, well defined but rather sharp chin ; a wide strait mouth ; full, flexi ble lips ; skin coarse in texture but firm; com-' plexion swarthy ; hair course black, streaked with grey ; a nose small at the root, but full and large at the nostrils, which expands and lifts as he speaks; broad roorny forehead; beet ling bushy eye-brows, beneath which are a pair of the coldest hazel-grey eyes I ever saw Iin human head ;-these are the outlines ol Andreiw Johnson. His voice is clear, harsh, power'ul and penetrating. When he seemi speaking with~ most excitement, he is evident ly the coolest man in the world." TuE WILL. OF TIIEn LATE Da. JAn!E. -The will of this well known-patent inedicine mar has just been. fied in the e-fice of the registei of wills at Philadelphia- Hie leaves to his near relatiorns sums varying from $100 t< $500 per annum, and bequenthes $15,000 fot the erection of a new Baptist Church in thi Western part of Philadelphia.. The widow iz to receive $3,000 per annum, under the terma of the marriage settlement, and, in addition she is left the use of the house at Nincteenti and Chesnut streets. By express terms o the will, *no intoxicating drinks are to be kepi n the new house, except for medicinal or cul iary purposes. The executors are instruct ed to set apart some $400,000 out of the in Icome as a fund to rebuild in case any of hii property is destroyed by fi,-e or other act.i 'ent and also a fund to provide a suitable settle ter marry. These sumts show how man.1 tousands of people have been,deluded by oni quack. Low PlucE OF ConoN.-One good effect of tlI4 late rapid decline in the price of cotton is appa rent,. says the Colum1lus tngii'rer. Some plan' r8 are not so much in the niotion of making bi crops of eotton this year, hut are again consider ing whether they had not better in ,ke bread an<~ meat enough, anid give the surplusof their planta tions to the culture of cotton. We make thi following extract ofa business letter from Web ster County, Georgia : "Our farming interest i~ moving quiet ly, though at a much more mnoderat pace than under the old system. Some of ou best farmers are entirely destitute of laborers other only partially supplied, and scarcely. an: above..their.armer average. Farmers are aban doning their previous notions of large erops o cotton, and think it prudent to make a good grafi crop-to raise meat and corn for their own con sumption." Mxxco TO nE THE NEw lTSB REPUBI,c.-I was stated in the New York Citizenz, a few week t inee that shortly the Irish would have a repub li of their own. The other night an orasor a one of the many Fenian Circles in New York sali that the paper in question referred to Mexico. that Louis Napoleon was about- to withdraw hi troops,not through fear of-this Government, bu to make room for the. legions of the I. F. B.;.tha Maximilian had agreed to abdicate on condinoci of being proclaimed President oftbe new reput lic ; and that so soon as the republic, had -beel oclaimed letters of marque . would be issue against British shipping. All this the orato said, and'more. Whatever truth there may b in it, it is certain that the members of the F. 13 expect some great movement to take place withia a few weeks. We are pained to announce ;that the Episco pal chuach known as Lower Zion Church, situ ated on the plantation of Gol. T. B. Gl1arkson and erected by his father in the year 1820, wa consumed by frre on Saturday last.. The confla gration occurred froin the frring of an ad,joininj field. This church was built forty-si.x years ago for the express purpose of imparting religions in struction .to the colored people, and it was th first place of worship ever erected in Sooth Gate linia, or in the entire Southern. count.ry, for hold ing religious services on the plantations. It pulpit was filed over forty years ago by th Right Rev. Francis Rauedge, the present' revere Bishop -ofTlorida, he having just -received des con's orders in the church. Designed and bul expressly to mieet the wants of the colored pec ple"oa the plantations, it has scarcely survive the institution of-slavery. How. C. C. OLra.-We are pleased to see tha two Republican papers are: demanding that Mi Clay shall be immediately released' or put upoi his trial. These.papers are the Tribune and th< Commercial Advertiser, both of New York city They both declare that, "by the Constitutitr, b; the laws,, by public opinion, by safe precedent b.y the claims of justice, he is entitled to a speed: trial or to an immediate release. A great wrong , th.ea anghr:t en remedied, is done." Row TO MAER MUTo.-A lot of Coteawold sheep having been seen in New York, tht would weigh from 3M0 to 400 pounds, the proprietor (a Canadian) was asked his method for fattening sheep, and replied: "In the rst place, I secure a goodL breed, that is the most important point.' The next thing is to keep them growing from the tine they are weaned till they are taken to the slaughter house, never allowing them to.growrAr at any season of the year. I have fed the all the bay, peas and oats they would eat. Peas are- better than Indian corn for mtton. Oats furnish a nitrogeneous matter for the formatio-t of neces sary muscle. Peas produce more. fat than the same number of pounds of cereal grain." "Do you feed any roots and straw ?" "Yes, each sheep gets not less than one or two pounds of turnips daily, with all the straw to eat and lie on that he wants ; and a good shed is pro vided, with a supply of pure water, and sAIlt to lick at pleasnre." "How much do you expeet to get for the largest of your flock ?" "Two hundred dollars per bead, ot I ship them from this market." The next day we Tearned they were taken at that price for Christmas matton. A good story is told of a telegraph clerk to whom a commissionaire delivered a written message he bad been desired to dRspatch. On reading it the clerk stared and inquired by whom the message was sent, to which the messenger replied, "A gentleman living in the Rue la Fontaine." The clerk requested the man to step into his office ,and~ take a seat. Mpwhile a policemato was summoned and the message shown to him. Itran thus: "Thave thought of a better and more expeditious mode of killing Favre," signed Mery. The agent started for M. Mery's residence; he was in bed, but was in the act ot announcing to I his collaborator, K. Dulvile, with whom he is writing Don Carlos, for which -Verdi is comT posing the music, that he had thought of an other mode of dispatching the Marquis of Rosa (which part was to be acted by Faure), than by a pistol shot as in Schiller's tragedy, and had telegraphed to that 'effect to him. [Paris Letter. TEXAs.-ADoPTIoN oF AxrI-SEcEssIo.N Ox NANCE.-GA.VESTON, March 13.-The Texas State Convention has adopted the substitute for the majority report declaring the Seces sion Ordinance null and void, acknowledging the supremacy of the Constitution of the United States, and renouncing the right again to secede, by a vote of 43 to 87. The Com mittee on the Condition of the State reported an Ordinance permitting the Legisature to pass a stay law -on all judgments for debts for four years, on condition that-the interest on a quarter of the principal of such debts are paid each year. The Judiciary Committee re ported an Ordinance protecting Confederate civil and military officers from criminal and civil process for impressment or injury of per sonal property.
