Mr. KiUhtr?Although your paper is Bot specially devoted to religious mutters, 1 suppose an occasional introduction of the subject will nut be objectionable to your readers; The fact is, I think a lit tle: more ou this subject., and less about politics would be beneficial tu us nil. Taking this view of the matter, 1 must beg your indulgence in u description of a (Sunday School jubilee which took place Fridays September 17?h iust.. at Ant inch Cburcli, in the lower part of St. Matthews. The dny was beautiful. It seemed as if Providence smiled upon the undertak ing, no favorable was every circumstance. At 10 o'clock, the appointed hour, Mr. J. H. Folder the Superintendent of the School formed the procession in the fol lowing order : 1st. The .white School, the girls being in front according to size, and the bo^s in the rear in the same order; then at an interval followed the colored School. In this order with beaming fuCCH, und light and merry step, this hnppy little army wended its way into the Church to hear the speakers appointed to address them. I must confess .Mr. Edi tor, that just here, the writer's infirmi ties commenced to overcome him as he looked back under the trees where the. tables were laid, and witnessed the mov ju^" of boxes and barrels from place to place, and C?old hear the clattering of plates and spoons- What could all this bustle mean? It was cciiu.'dy very utficunt; so much so that it required an effort for .veuk human nature to prepurc the mind for tbo intellect mil feast sonu to be enjoyed. The number of persons in the Church I suppose could not be less than four or five hundred. There were also many outside, who could not be seated on ac count of the crowd. As soon as the ?children were all arranged, the minds of Jthe audience were prepared fur the 0U rtcrtaiunieut before thorn by the singing ?of that beautiful hymn, "When the JMorning Light Drives away thu Night, Ac." The hcv. R. J. Edwards then .-gave out the 100th hymn, ' In the bright Seasou of thy Youth, &cM" after the siuging of which he offered up prayer, and read the Oth chapter of Den fteronotuy. After the reading of the nttbie the Superintendent gave out the .305th piece in the little Sunday School book., "Say Brothers, will you Meet us, ?2tc." This hymn was sung by the girls taking one part and the boys another, and was really beautiful and impressive, ''flic Schon] next sung; (*Hark, (he Sab ?hath Bells are Hinging, &o.," after which che Superintendent in a few remarks to the children, pleading their attention and good behavior, introduced the first speak er, Hev. Win. Hut to. I approach the task of sketching the rcmurks of these gentlemen with con itiderable difliduueo, so great is my fear of doing them injustice. My aim, how ever, is principally to give the direction in which they led the thoughts of their hearers, nod if I fail in giving their speeches their duo weight, the public will please attach the blame where it be longs, that is to the reporter. Mr. llut to's addrvv:- irai particularly adapted to the occasion, being clothed iu language which placed it ontircly within the grasp of his youthful audience. Ho said that the invitation for him to uddress the School was unexpected as he could 'not sec what he had done to merit the honor; he supposed though that the Superintendent know that he loved the Sabbath School, and ho attributed the invitation to that alone. He mentioned that by consent among the speakers, the task assigned hini was to talk to the children, so he would direct his remarks principally to them. He took ns the foundation of his dis course this passage of Scripture. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of (Jod and His righteousness, und all these things shall he added unto you." He described these things to which the Saviour refers, as wordly pursuits, such us honor, riches and pleasure, and asked if there was any littlu boy or girl in his presence who did uot some times think of them, und de sire to obtain them. This Was natural, and many think they will seek these thinks first, and afterwards heavenly tilings; but what, he usked. does Christ say '( His language is clear and emphat ic, "Seek ye first tho Kingdom of God and 11 ?8 righteousness." He cited also tlie uncertainty of human life as an im portant reason that we should seek heavenly things early, but cautioned the children uot to seek them for any world ly motive, such as honor, riches, etc., for j God docs not promise them. There arc ' many iu this world who are very good, but very poor. Poverty in this world's ?nods makes little difference with the true Christian. It is tar bettor for us to have little here, and much iu Heaven, than to have all we want here, aud at last lose our souls. 11c then illustrated by the well known story of Lazarus and I Dives, ami asked who would not prefer to be a Lazarus. Mr. Ilutto concluded with a word of encouragement to tho pa rents, for the prospects of their childreu. Tho time was when little attention was paid to Sabbath Schools, but now our best men were engaged in them. He trusted that these good inHueuees would be perpetuated. After the address the School sting the 76th piece, '?! am a Pilgrim, and I'm a Stranger." The Superintendent then in Iiis usual familiar mid humorous style, amused the children with several amus ing anecdotes illustrative of wholesome moral and religious truths The happy effect of his remarks upon the children was apparent. He then introduced the next speaker, Captain Hugo (J. Sheridan. A brief outline of Mr. Sheridan's able und elo quent address is all th.it my limited space will permit, although a full publi cation would well repay perusal. He said that the duty assigned him, since he had ootue this morning, was to speak to the grown people, and he would therefore oi: it what he intended to say the children. Besides this, he did not think it Dcc??a,,py to say ? word to the children, for hid expctio~<e bad tuttght him that childreu were generali) more in earnest about the things which concerned them that! the parents were. Tho parents were more concerned about money and cotton, and making their children work in the field to make money, than they were about the moral and intellectual culture ol those children, lie appealed to mothers and lathers to remember the responsibilities which were placed upon thoiu. God has assigned them duties with which they dare not trifle. These duties he classified us fol lows : l.-t. Duties which we owe to the Com munity in which we live, or public du ties. 2d. Duties which we owe to each oth er, or private duties. He dwelt particularly upon the second class. These duties, he said, required us to educate our children, and prepare them for citizenship He lure defined the difference between knowledge and in struction ; tho former he said is from within, isud may be ucq?hcd, tho latter is from without and must ho imparted. Hence (he importance of having our childreu well instructed. The means ol obtaining proper instruction he regarded US in our hands. It is true we are very poor, but he was proud of our poverty ; it w?s honornblo poverty, having been acquired in the discharge of noble ?Ju lies. These things he thought need not deter us iu the education of our children, lie asked if there Was a good day sehool established iu the community, and urged if there was, that it should be well pa tr?sized. !!c wr.: sura if sonic fantastic show, or Robinson's Circus were to pass through the country, that hundreds of dollars would bo spent to sec a monkey mako a fool of himself. Lot some of this inoucy be spent on 'education. He regarded the Sabbath School as an im portant lever in arresting the corruption around us, and as a means of purifying and elevating society. Why, ho asked, this poverty which reigns around us'{ The answer he thought could be read in the urchieves of a corrupt and despotic government. Our political corruption could only he removed by educating our children, and teaching them the principles of the Bible, and never by inciting the races against each other, or by harboring political ani mosities. He was convinced that igno rance could never rule a country. Web ster had said, "Educate your childreu and the government is safe." This he regarded as the true motto of our peo ple. He thought that the black man could only be elevated by education. In conclusion iu reviewing our political con ditio.;, ho expressed the belief that God would yet bless our country with pros perity. After n few pertinent remarks by the Superintendent on the duty of parents overcoming every obstacle, and placing their children in the Sunday School, the school sang the 71st piece, "I have a Father in the Promised Land," also the 70th "I want to be an angel, iVc." After the singing, the last speaker, Rev. R. J. Edwards, was heaid. He in troduced his remarks by relating several touching and appropriate instances of early religious conviction, nnd argued therefrom the necessity of those entrust ed with the oare of children, attending early to their wants iu this respect^ lie alluded to tl.0 gn at efforts which were made by men everywhere to rescue themselves from poverty, but he asked if the salvation of the soul was not of fai greater importance than salvation from poverty. The soul being of more Value than the body, he urged parents to see to this matter first in their children. In the latter part of his address he impressed upon his hearers the import ance of a strict observance of the law of love, as enjoined upon us by the Scrip ture-., and in conclusion drew a beautiful picture of the happiness we would expe rience, if this law could pervade ull our acl'ons. The address of Mr. Edwards was particularly pathetic. When Mr. t.d wards had concluded, tho Superintendent informed the chil dren that the next Btcp in the programme was the pie nie. He said he could see from the Church that tho tables were ready, and he was anxious to go and see what was upon them. He cuild see that their mothers had taken particular pains to have their clothing neat and tidy, and he hoped that they would keep them so. He also hoped that at the tables they would do nothing to destroy the good name they had already won for order and I propriety, but would follow their teach ers di.^v.t:",,r' He illustrated his point by an um?!'ng anccdjlo of .". little boy he once saw at a candy puiiing. As it frequently happens on such occasions, in the anxiety of the guests to g< t at the fun, they commenced pulling bofora the candy was ready, and it was very soft and unmanageable. There was a little boy iu the crowd, who, when he got to the table reached overaud took the 1 irgest lump of candy he could see. After eat ing r.s much a- he could, l.e thought he would put tin- rest in his pocket. He therefore tried his best to get it in. but every time he put his hand down iu his pocket, the candy would stick to it, and follow it out. He told the children that when they got to the table he wanted them to remember this unfortunate little boy, and not try to put anything iu their pockets, at it might come nut again. The effect was capital It was noticed that the grown people remembered the candy story as well as the little ones. The school now sung several beautiful hymns, after which they were marched to the tables, which groaned under the weight of good things, both sweet and substantial. The tables for tin colored children were set iu another part of the grove, and 1 noticed were equally well supplied. The good conduct of the children on this occasion was a subject of general ro-j mark. Not one single instance of disor-j dt.r or impropriety can be recorded. Now, Mr. Editor? as I have finished i the account of the celebration, 1 cannot close without one word iu praise of the Superintendent, Mr. J. H. Felder, who richly .1 serves all that can bo bestowed ?rt upon him. Mr. Fcldor organized this school about nine months ago from u mere handful ol scholars, and by his in defatigable energy and devotion to the cause, it has already ,increased to up wards of one hundred and fifty. Its reputation has spread in every direction. His kind and accessible manner towards his scholars, together with his familiar but impressive style of lecturing, seems to adapt him particularly to the work. The community shouhlfecl grateful for hie services. M. -????f? ? [fob tiik ouANojcivaa news.] Ski'Tkmjier, 25, 18C9. Mr. Editor?On Thursday morning, tho llith inst., the different rouds and paths converging to Prospect Church from the surrounding vicinity, teemed with vehicles of every |description, (ex cept -carts,) carriages and buggies filled with humanity of all . ages, sexes and sizes, of sedate and pleasant counten ances, of yuunger, brighter and more smiling faces ; wagons screaching and groaning under the Weight of?icel .' Honiethivg for the inner-man perhaps, of which, more anon. Also little fluwer like pedestrians, all moving towards "Old Prospect Church," for the purptt.se of celebrating the:Jundiiy School at that place. The parents, tei'chors and chil dren soon filled the Church, nuxi?usly awaiting the arrival of (.no of the speak ers, and it was even feared by Rome that he Was unwell, and would not be present. But soon the faces of all brightened up at tho appearance of the second speaker, and immediately the procession was formed about fifty yards from the soth end of the Church, he tided by the flag bearers. Miss Fannie Rjltcu and Mast? r Thomas Wannamakcr, ? ho were followed in regular order, by tin different teach ers at the heads of th ir classes. Tho teachers of each class livuie a di fie rent badge, and ribbon jWa of dilletvnt coloic dist iuguished the pupds of ditfer Cnt classes. Finally the rear was brought up by the Superintendent, and Secretary and the Speakers, each accompanied by an attendant. The procession alter inarching around the Church once, sing ing the hymn "1 am gl.id I'm in :hi army," in which all the teachers and pupils, even to the smallest, joined iu perfect harmony, marched in the Church at the door in front of the pulpit, and. dividing into two columns, filed lo their respective scats, each flag-bearer placing a flag on either side of the speaker ami to the rear. After singing and prayer offered 1>\ tho Rev. 'J'. K. Wannamakcr, a very ap propriate address was eloquently deliver ed by Mr. Sheridan, in which, after complimenting the children, In- urged upon the parents the great importance of giving their children a proper moral and religious education in preft rence to the accumulation of worldly lucre. After his address a hymn was sung, which was foil iwcd \i\ i very interesting, appropri ate and touching address to the Sunday School childreu by the Itcv. T. B. Wan ?:.:.'v.:>.V?*: TJic Cburch was beautifully deCOruted with ovorgrcen garlands am.! wreaths of flowers.

The flags here the inscriptions, "Feed my Lambs," and ' Faith, Hope and Love." After sieging and prayer the proccs, si.ui marched, rear iu front, about two hundred yards from the Church to a Well-tilled table, under an oik grove, where, after grace said, ceremony was laid aside for awhile. All bents seemed li^lit and cheerful. Everybody seemed to love everybody, love parents and children, I ivo preacher and teacher, love chickens and pigs, love everybody and everything on the table. Knives, forks and spoons made a lively musical clatter from one end of the table to tho other. All was life ; all was cheerful while the inner-man \*.is 1? in ? replenished.

Should you like to be a report or, and get licked on dark nights, and see dead persuilS, and climb up lour pairs of stairs:" Tho Irish Potato. Spring, Summer, Full and Winter Crops. It is not generally known that the Trish Potato can be kept growing idl seasons making continual crops all the year round, but such is the truth of experience. To accomplish this there has to be three general plantings: 1st. In .January and Febuary, plant according to the size of the crop you propose to cultivate. 2d. In July or August, at any time or during the whole of these months, as you dig your potatoes for, the market or home consumption, plant all the middle or smaller sizes, keeping the largest for the table. This planting Will nuke you a Fall ami Winter crop which you can dig and use from October to .January. 3d. In November a ud December, while digging and consuming your Fall and Winter crops, again plant with the medium and smaller b&ed tubers, and this planting will surely mnkoyoxtrSpring Crop. 'ihese three conscculivcsicrops, front tho barrel, or whatever, quantity you start with can be made by any persons who will take the tri ubUs to do it. As the month af July is at hand, and the potato vines dead, I will proceed to give some necessary rules to be observed for Summer planting. Dig the potatoes before sunrise or after sunset, never allowing the sunshine to touch them, and house them by scattering them on ' a floor in some dark dry room, for a few | days?say two days to two weeks. If the sunshine ever touches them they | will rot iu the ground after planting. Always plant before sunrise or alur.sun set. The plan and obvious practice is, to dig two or more row.- at a time, and save the larger potatoes for the table, and to plant all the other Sit? aller Ones. The laud should be deeply and closely turned over with n turn plow, or spado and furrows made three feet apart, and not over .lour inches below the surface, for if planted d.ep as in Sj ring planting they will keep dry and not sprout and come up Flaut deep in dry Summer weather, and you might as vvoll put !houi away in the mummy van!:? pf Kg\pt. After dropping the potato in the furmws 1:11 up the furrows with any sort of vegetable mould, or garden rubbish, crop or any sort of grass from the cleanr sing of beds, walks or the yard, atid c<>\ ^ r. lightly with soil, leaving the bed level. Afterward, if grass appears on the bed, hoe it off?aud keep tho crop clean? bedding up as the vificsgrow larger atid I larger. j It is important and j roper to plant a I good and improved variety of potatoes. ; Foi this sectiou 1 p ofer the ''Goodrich I Eaily Seedling."
