The government hopes that the cou-; rogo ol' the defenders of Paris, aided by events outside, may bring deliverance before the election ; but should the situation remain unchanged, the As? sembly will inspire the army and na? tion with fresh hope ana courage.

Sumter Watchman has by far the largest circulation (espe? cially in ike surrounding country) of any paper published in Sumter, and ivas established in 1850. OKN. JOHN ?. KENNEDY Addressed a larg? number of the citizens of Sumter, white and colored, from the Court House steps a.t Sumter, on Mon day last, after the adjournment ' of the Court. Gen. WADE HAMPTON, the other speaker for the occasion, from unavoid ble circumstances, did not arrive. His heart and soul are tully in the cause, and we had hoped to have the privilege of greeting him again at Sumter, and of affording our people an opportunity of hearing from his own lips his words of earnest and honest advice and eloquent appeal Gen. KENNEDY acquitted himself with decided success. His ability, lib? erality and patriotism oombioed, mark him unmistakably a* one of the repre? sentativo men of tho State for tho time to come. He spoke with great earnestness and strong point and reason, anon rising with burning enthusiasm to tho elo*? quenco of his theme. Wo have not, since the war, witnessed indications of so deep an interest on the part of a masa of hearers. The great heart of the people of the State is stirred. Passion and prejudice are giving way before the momentous issues of the day, and great good must be the result of the Reform movement, let the election go as it may. We solemnly call upon our people to do their duty-oaltnly and dispassion? ately. COL. C. XV. DUDLEY Addressed a considerable number of the citizens of Sumter, from tho Court House steps on Saturday last. It ia to be regretted that the eotiee of the intention of Col. DUDLEY to speak at this plaoe was so brief as not to ad mit of its'general circulation. His speech, however, wa? not without good effect. It was calm and temperate ihowing, ib strong point and illustra Lion, the extravagance and corruption which haye prevailed in the adminis trat iou of ibo affairs of the State for the post two years, and h o coe the impera tive necessity for reform. The colored people listened with marked attention to what he said, not withstanding tl)econstant and irritating interruptions to which he was subjected ind we have no doubt that good seed were sown, which will spring up and bear fruit in the time to oome. And here we feel called upon as jubito censor, to condemn, as unworthy ind disgraceful-totally unbecoming th shnraoter of the oom m nu ?ty in whioh ire lire-the style and spirit in which ;entloiueo of the Reform Party aro dis nibed by those- of the opposite side Radical speakers have never been in crfered with, at this place, and common lecoucy forbids it.

Th? ser*toes ?re not suspended during the eptiro day, nod, it i? asnal for some pion* member of the congrega? tion to etsist the) regular minister in performing the onerous duties: of the day. The regular services are all io He brow. It ii customary to introduce a sermon, ia the vernacular, exhorting the worshippers to amend their, ways, to repent ot their sins, and to prepare themselves by the praotioe of virtue, tor the life hereafter. This eastern of preaching or lecturing is so ?noient among the Jews, that it is said to have been sanctioned by Moses himself. (See Josephus against Apeion.) In places where there are ne Syna? gogues, the Israelites observe this fast, with the same solemnity. They are pro . vided with prayer books, for thia and all other religious occupas, which con? tain the forms of prayer both io Hebrew end the vernacular of the country io which they live. -Those among us (with few exceptions) use the English trans* lation. The prayers for this day are very solemn, and being composed by the greatest theologians and poets of their race, and distinguished by a high order of-literary ability. It is a sublime thing to witness the celebration of this fast by millions of persons scattered over every part of the habitable globe--a fast dating baok to the time of Moses, and still obaerved by his people with a vigor and devotion unknown to any other religious body of meir. PAVILION 13 OT KL. This house is worthy of special no? tioe. Mrs. BUTTERFIELD,, the accom? plished hostess, continues to -enjoy the valuable services of Mr. R. HAMILTON, ts manager, and is prepared to aooom modate guests with all the oomfort and sourtesy for wa?eh the good old Pavilion, has been so long noted. Mr. HAMIL? TON ia a "host" in himself, and Mr. HENRY BOINNEAU, the very kind and rory oourteous book keeper, is no les? a favorite, or successful in catering to the tastes of the traveler. A recent visit to the Pavilion is the basis of these re narks. We advise persons who may nt end visiting Charleston during the Fair, next month, to write in advance md secure rooms. PHOSPHATE BOOKS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. We direct attention to the advertise neut of Professor F. S. HOLMES, for nerly Professor of Geology in Charles* on College. Professor HOLMES, one of he discoverers of the "great Carolina darl Bed," proposes to publish in book orm a history of their discovery and levelopment, their origin, geological losition and age. Also, their Chemioal iharacter and agricultural value. This lamphlet is now In press and the Pro essor has gone North to perfeot his arr? angements for the early delivery of his look, which will bc of much mlcrest to he phtnter and others interested- in the iscovery and value of these phosphates.

At an extra Ch ur oh Meeting of Bethel Cbnrob, tauter Circuit, held this day, the following pre* tmble and resolutiena were offered and unanl-1 nously adopted: Denth has again visited our Soolety, and with iii all devouring scythe, has cut down and romov j td from time to eternity our boloved brother' NICHOLAS S. PONCB. We deem it eminently fit? ing, and a privilege, on this sad occasion, to | ecord our estimation of bis character as a chris? tan and as a man. Onr brother was a' true type } >f the-christian gentleman. His life as a eitlsi-n [ fas exemplary to a remarkable dogroe.

Strictly attentive te his own ,flairs, be never intermeddled with the basiaess f othcrs-he waa truly the pattern of a good oit ESUv Of his character as a christian we cannot peak too highly. He was a warm, aotlvc hristian, never mose delighted, or earnest and oalons, than when engaged in his master's work, 'or nearly twenty-five years h* served the burch as a steward ; conscientiously and faith tilly discharging the duties of that office..

In the Sabbath Sobool he was eminently nse? il, and manifested his Interest in, and love for ila auxiliary of the church by liberal contribn. ona, punctual attendance, and was one of her tost devoted and efficient teaohore. -He was ror ready to contribute everything avallab!*, ithin bis reich, to the prosperity of tho church, ut that friendly hand is cul J and stu I; that kind ' voice ls forever hushed ; th* pulsations of that arm and g*nerou? heart ar* stilled ia death, nd we are left to mourn.
