Several distinguished divines are expected.to assist in the ceremonies; and the public are invited to attend.. Pnblie Meeting. We publish this morning a report of the public meeting held in Wins boro on Monday last.. The nature of the proceedings may be best understood by an examination of the resolutions themselves. It must be conceded that in comparison with -other inectings in the State, this was temperate and moderate, and we were relieved atthe emphatic and earnest manner in which the chairman of the committee pro tested against any idea of repudiation and recogniscf the just responsi bility of debtors-but we think elear ly that the tendency of this whole movement is dangerous and that the highest security with which debtors eann be invested in view of existing *on1stitutional imupediniouts,.consists in the forber--v, P1,al-11 und 1pIrit rU conciliation and compromise, that most indisputably h'as e:risted on the part of creJitors, and which with -pro per encouragement could be eolevated into a controlling public sentiment. We think it due the opponents of this movement, to state that the last regular resolution, the 6th, is the only one that rceivej the entire, abh roval of the assembly. The others were all opposed. Editorial. Correspondence. COLUMIA), Sept. 4, 1866. The hent to-day iN intense. In the most .favorab!e locations the ther niometer stands now, about noon, at 86. Few of the Legislators have yet arri-ved. Gen. Sickles is here stopping at Nickerson's. Two of his staff are with him, Majs. Moore and Roy.. The General is ver~y umuch of a military Ipookiing man. I presume heo will re main du~ring a part, if not all, of the Session of tile Legislature. Opinions vary as to the time this body is likely to sit. From what I learn it appears thlat a vast deal of ilAportant matter will be subniitted by tihe Governor in 'his message. If this be so, hard work and hot weather wvill require the mem bers to comec with their most summer fit suits. To 'one who has not visited Colum bia since it lay in all its desolation and ruin, it is very gratifying to find workmen busily plying the trowel' and - the plane in every direction, On *what is everywhere known -as Main Street, there are 'several flue brick houses going up. withl encouraging speed. - Rut .glere is a little World of ruin staring you ill the face, yet.

It may seem to some a matter of little importance that Cobnfederate bonds should be still held in foriegn lands with any the least hope of a shadow of a reason for their redemptiod. But. stranger things have happened, and things oven of less significance have led to tremen dous results.- It appears that holders of such. bonds have discovered a star of hope, at least a ray of light from it, shining through the political. atmos phere created by the late National Conv'ention. How it struck their vi4. ion through that, I do not know-. Bu it may be in thia: The- Convention gives promise that th' rnconstruction so earnestly wished for may be effect. ed.

Enrons. 0 n Thursday the 30th of Aigust, it was our ' good for. tune to have attended the celebration of the Bethel Church Sunday School, located twelve. miles unthwest of Winnsboro. For some time~ past a deep interest has been manifested id the Sunday school cause and Bible class, which has proven thus far an entire success ; as bothi students and teachers have evinced an earnest and commendable zeal in the discharge of of their duties. We know of no com.. munity that takes a Iivlier interest in the moral training f 'the paoth; and have seldom been permnitted to hiay witnessed a more interesting and plea. ing spectacle than we did ab-the pio. nie. At an early hour--the house was filled and-the services commenced with an anthem by the ohoir. From a knowledge we had of the fine attain ments in vocal music of some of the choir we anticipated something rich. J$ut we confess.they exceede<jl our agoet sanguine expeetatioDs. %fter .ather preliminary Oesserises the orator efehb occasion, Captain John Kinsler 'f Riehland wasn(nrNdd~s andrivetted an hour in one of his most,abth dii -I happieat effort' Captain Kinsler has been r6conttygiviog a series of in S 'totwe and, enherta'4ing lootures on ta-Abilto thoi3ethei congrbgatioi, w4fortu4telIeard some of them'; and miit be permitted to say we hYve never known any speaker so entirely to enchain or engross - the attention of an audience, he is a very fluent and eloquentspeak6r-never at a 'l6s for words to express his sentiments. But on'this ooasion he seemed to be in-. spired (if possible) with more seal and animation. Iis discourse was ex tremely . impressive, after paying a handsome compliment to the choir he said, thit it was far from his intention or desire to mar the festivities of the oe casion; or to cause any sad or pa-nful Amotions within the breast of -any present, or to awaken any sorrowful recollections of the past, but that in justice to his own feelings he could not forbear paying a prssing tribute to the memory of the many noble youths whom he had been- accustomed to see mingling with that congrcgation be fore the- war and whose vacant seats too well,. too sadly told the tale. They too had offered up their lives on the altar of'their country, battling for the, lost dause of the South. Yes, those- gallant youths Bookman, Craig, Gibson, Russell, McKinstry, Frazier, Lylos, Camaok, Kennedy, Tkapp, the Brown'j, Tinkler's, Wydok's and oth ers, whose names we do not now re member, wore all missing. Ent, their names would ever live fresh. and green, inscribed on the tablets of me mory and enshrined in the. hearts of their -countrymen. His remarks so feeling and touching produced quito. a sensation and caused many a tear. to course its way down the cheeks, not only of the tender, lovely female,.but those also of the sterner sex. The speaker then passed on to set'forth:the great benefits which have acorued'to society from 6 proper conductance of Sunday Schools and highly lauded the institution whish has contributed so mna1* advin intetllcoually. and morally the griat mass of our people. In conolusip'n he addrssed himself particula rly to-the ladies and. endeav ored to impress on them that their's wasa geat responsibility, in as much as the mother, nine cases out of ten hold the destinies of the child in her own hands and showed conclusely by several true and beautiful illustro, tiona that first impressions were gener ally'most lasting. But we are doing injustice to the speaker in attempting even an outline, as to have appreciat ed it, one tlust have .heard him. Their is such an earnestness of man ner about hint that we are borne along with his remarks almost unconscioisly. There were other speeches made also by the Rev. Geo. Boggs, Rev. J,. A. Caut)ern, and Col. Finley. We regret that we have neither time nor space to give even a synopsis of their re marks, sufice it to say they were very appropriate and well received, after the speaking was concluded and the benediction oter,-dinner was annound~ ed, a procession was immediately formed and condtieted to the tabile which was as is usually siid (groaning under the weight of good things.) But in this instance Messrs. Editors we as sure you it was literally true, the sup ply was most bountiful (an army com missary would have made it feqd a whole brigade.) We never saw a more magn ifoent pie pio dinner on any occasion, all of the substantials with many of the delicacies and hixuries of life. It reniinded uis of the good old times when peos and 4lenty, pros perity and 'happineis shed their min gled 'delights around tie. We are glad t'o see that although the citizens of this section were so un fortun~ate as to liye' within the belt through which the arph -csnglary .ped and were it many inagtances oomnpletely burned out and robbed.of, 4M*ything -they 'podesoed al3iot, It!? tliy exhibit tbb 6ehrfIngbs p? itfIt that uobleei "of ideI that r8 superior, to every unavoidebte misforune' and are still pometssod of tho'segefterbus aud noble impulses thut were ver choracteristio of true South rns.
