ANNIVERSARY OF TUE CHARLESTON FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE preparations. The groat Annual Parado of tho Charleston Fire Department came off yesterday, according to pre vious announcement. For weeks the Firemen had been making the most onergotio preparations, burnishing onginee, and oloaning hose and hoso carriages. Tho tailors and saddlers all were kept busily employed in tho manufacturo of new hate and uniforma. As the great day drew noarer, the oxcitemont beoame more and moro intenae. Nor wore the flremon alono in this fooling; bnt it was largely Bhared by all tboir friends and acquaint ances, and particularly by nearly every lady in tho city. Some of tho latter had boon baslly engaged for many days making wreaths, garlands, ohap lets, festoons and pyramids, to adorn the angines of thoir choice. Tho groatost enthusiasm pervad ed the ontiro commnnity yosterday, and expecta tion was on tiptoe throughout the morning. There were several adventitious circumstances that lont additional interest to this anniversary. There had been no Bremen's celebration in seve ral years; two handsome steam enginos had been recently introduced; the delegation from onr sister State, that had honored us with their presenco, was another interesting foaturo. There were aleo a large number of recent members, who entered into the enjoymont of thiB festival with tho foil zeBt of buoyant yontb. Tho two prizo cups wero another incitement; and lastly, this was tho first genoral gala day wo have had in the city since tho close of the war. THE WEATHER. Fortunately the weather was very fair, and, al though the sun ponred his rays with considerable intensity about meridian, the temperature was rather below tho average of the season. There was still oonBiderablo wind, though not as much as during the several days preooding; and, on the whole, we think tho weather was as pleasant as at any previous anniversary. THE TOADIES AND THE FLOWEHB. At an early hour yesterday morning, Aromen were seen harrying through the streets, loaded with wreaths and bouquets of the most beautiful flowers. Flora was profuse in her odoriferous gifts, affording as a delioioas antepast of bloom ing Hay. The engines all were beautifully decora ted, pleasing proof that fair hands and a refined taste assisted in their arrangement. About eleven o'clock, oar fairest flowers made their appearance,?tho ludios could be seen com ing from the remotest parts of the city, toward the leading points along the line of march. Doors and windows along Mooting and Broad street? were in great demand. Every available ni oh o was adorned by a saint or angel. Tho verandah at the Charleston Hotol, the steps and portico of the Market Hall, and the windows of the Council Chamber, reminded ris of the good old days, when Fourth of Julye, and Military and Firo Parades, drew forth tho boauty and fashion of our olty. The eoene yesterday was gay and attractive in the extreme. The etreets wero Uned wUh. beaatiioj ladies, arrayed in all the rich plumage of the spring mode; and smiling sweetly, and gontlj excited with hopo and expectation, as they lookec op the street, a little impatiently, wondering "why the engines don't make haste and come." , THE PBOOESSION. A little after 12 M. the several companies hav ing assembled on the Citadel Oreen, they tool their placea oooording to programme, and th< procession started down Meeting street. First in order oame a vanguard of tho 6 th U. S Begt?ars, kindly farnished by Gen. Sickles. Th< large and splendid band, attached to this rogi ment,. were in attendance, adding mach to th< interest and pleasure of the occasion. A TJnitec States officer, accompanied by a Lieutenant of tin City Police, rode next. The Chief, Assistant?, and Clerk of tho Board of Fire Masters, all dressed in handsome uni forms, oame next in order; and were followed bj his Honor the Mayor, and the Board of Alder men. [We missed the time-honored wands o office, heretofore borne by these functionaries Why have they been discarded ? or did these von ?rable batons perish by the viscisaitudoB of war like so many other of oar ancient institutions? The Geoboia Independent Fibs Company, o Augusta, now came with their engine. The: paraded about fifty men, and made a very hand some appearanoe. The officers were 0. E. Dodd 1st Lient, commanding ; Geo. Adam?, 2d Lieut. Geo. W. Bboadhubst, Secretary and Treasurer J. E. P. MoLauoblin, Pipeman, and J. Glen* Hbabd, Assistant Pipeman. The motto of th Company is Nunquam non paratus. The Gazelle Company, also from Angosta, nex passed with thoir hose-carriage, a very light an beantifal vehiole. There is bat a small detach ment of this Company in tho city ; Clay Fobtkb i the Captain, and O. E. Caiiiiiohakl Lieutenant. The Pioneer, Steamer Engine, led the van o the Home Fire Department. This Company i known as tho Charleston Firo Company of Axe men. They have just received a most beautift new steamer, (to be cUristonod the " Little Sue"] and mado a splondid app?a'ranco yesterday. I D. Enstoi* la the President. There are about 6 members in the Company ; about 45 parade? Tho hose-carrisfro was the handsomest in th proccasion. The engine: was elegantly adorno and the uniforms looked very fine. The Pionec was built by Olapp it Joses, New York ; he weight is aboat -1000 pounds ; boilers 2 feet inohes in diameter and 5 feet high ; s to am cyllndi 8j diameter, with 0 inohes stroke ; pump 5 feet I diameter, 9 inohes stroke.

The deooratioi were, perhaps, the most elaborate of the da T h ni, splondid pyramid of fine flowers must ha? cost a vast deal of labor, and the. company or Miss 8. ?large debt of gratitud o for this eloga and tasteful ornament. There are about 100 met bora in the company, of whom 90 paraded. J uns E. TB^coint? tho.Px.?ald.ont,. Tho pr?tai ''_^l~-. ?..J. ?.??.. f? ...? -iJl.?

A ohaplot, tastefully twined of laurel, by Mies K., and draped in mourning, was in scribed "To Oar Martyrs;" the ovcrgrcon let ters testifying that wo keep their memories green.

Tho engine was finely dressed; crape and white being present to remind tho members of their misting, fallen brotbora. Motto; ** We are ready." The /Etna Steam Engine Company counted about fifty men. Tho appesranoe of "Little Ned " was gay and beautiful, almost smothered in a sea of living greou. The banner announced "We'll Persevere," and the ongino bears the not very mo dest legend: " Veni, vidi, via." The uniforms all looked new and handsomo. Mr. ?. F. Bweegan is the President.

Tho Palmeteo is a beautiful ongino, and was elegantly rigged out. "Noli me tangere" is not an unfit motto for this coy looking damsel. Thomas Milleb is the President. Paraded sixty members. The Hopb is irrepressible, ever striving to heed its motto: "Ne cede malts." A bower was erected upon the engine, under which a little boy and girl were seated, representing Rope and Liberty. An anchor was plaoed in their iront, bearing the inscription : 2b our Departed Brothers." The banner was draped in mourning. Tho com pany numbers about 62 members, 40 of whom paraded. W. II. Smith, President. Tho present engine has been in use since 1858. The Washington has always been a favorite company, and we feel assured did not disappoint their friends yesterday. "Heidy and Willing," as their motto proclaims, the devouring element will ever find them, to lend their assistance in acts of humanity. Paraded about 35 members. John B. M abtin , President.

OBDEB. >r It is gratifying to be able to record that tl h bcBt ordor was preserved throughout the da 2 and nothing whatever occurred to mar the pic 1 sure of those who participated in this intereatii festival. Much credit is due to the double guai 1. of civil and military police accompanying the pr id cession. Happily there was no occasion to c. s; thoir offices into r?quisition. Every one we 1- home satisfied, nay gratified, with the arrang 8. ments and performanoes of the day. I: THE AEtSKEM or Pioneers gavo a collation at the Mieonio Ha id commencing at 8 o'clock in the evening, A lav* i% number of invited gnests were present, amoi y. whom we were pleased to recognize the Chief re the Fire Department and his Assistants, tl ro Secretary, Mr. Stbobbl, representations from t! nt several Charleston ' companies, and nearly tl a- whole Georgia delegation.

May thoy novor bo severed, nor thoir fair Hold? bo over again deaolated by foomnn'a ruthless hand." , Besponded to in a vory telling speech by Col. C. B. Day. Among other topics adverted to by the sppakor, ho alluded to a ploauant mcoting in this city, botweeu the Cliuoh Rifles and tho Washing ton Light Iuf*ntry.

THE BALL at Hibernian Hall last nigbt was given by tho Aetna Company to tho German and Washington Firo Companies, Wo nrrivod about 11 o'clock, and found the Hall orowded. Tho scone was one of groat splendor and dazzling brilliancy. Largo as was tho number of uniformed firemen present, the number of ladies was greater still. Mulleb's Band was engaged, and struck up the over-welcome strains of tho Lanctra. Sots woro made up instantor, and in loss than no timo tho wholo room was engaged in marching a fow fcot forward, and then ns many backward ; then turn about; then stop awhile, and take breath. AU seemed to enjoy themselves ; and seeing this, wo were infected by tho atmosphere of tho place, and enjoyed ourselves. The supper was served about twelve o'clock. Tho lower hall was ongagod for this purpose, and five long tables were spread, under tho direction of that prince of landlords, Mr. Pobcelc, of tho Mills House.. Wo will not enter into particulars on so prosy a subject as the dainties and substan tiate of the table. Nor is it necessary. When we have named the caterer, our readers naturally will infer all th? balance. Isaac Bobinson and his polite and attentive staff deserve the thanke of tho company for their services. Affairs on the Mexican Border? Tho affairs on the Mexican border along tho Bio Grande, are still in a disturbed condition. Stages running from Bagdad to Matamoras are stopped and the passengers robbed and murdered; all com munication with the interior is cut off, and soaroe ly a day passes in whioh somebody is not found on whioh tho ruffians have done their bloody work. The leaders of these bands of plnndorers and out laws are from the United State? and Mexico. All business is suspended Id this section, and the land is suffered to run to waste for want of culti vation, while the roving bands of marauders sub sist upon what tboy can pick up from ?Ufth?e. travellere who fall iu their vfa?. ' General M^.v commands tho Imperial forcea, consisting of French and Austrian troops, at Mat Smorae. He-is o strict disciplinarian, and in using his Authority to pacify tho country and punish the men who. are did. urbing it. The town is ettongrj fortified, and no fears aro entertained of a suc cessful attack from the Liberabais.

He has about thirty two hundred troops, and preserves a strict neu trality. The arms and other articles taken from Bagdad when that place was captured by Uni ted States colored troops, have been returned tc their proper owners, so far as such a course wai possible. At a ball recently given in Matamoras invitations were extended by French offlcen to those of tho United States forces. They wer< accepted, and the courtesies thus extended anc accepted have produced happy results in allaylnf whatever feeling oxisted growing out of the Bag dad affair. This is the present state of affaire oi the Bio Grande. It does not give hopes of ai early reign of peace and quiet in that region. a ? ? aTatllcul flliarepj-osei-itation of Sonthen Sentiment. LETTBB raou a contested abolitionist. The rChioago Time?, of the 16th, publishes i letter from a converted Abolitionist, residing ii Vioksburg, Mississippi, the larger portion of wbicl we copy, as follows : Before coming South I was a staunch believer ii ?11 thoso ridiculous reports, gotten up by unprin cipled politicians, in regard to the disloyalty c the Southern people, and I openly urged the rigii polioy that is urged by Stevens, Summer & Cc But in justice to a brave .and noble people I wil say that I have utterly failed to discover tbi muoh talked-of-treaaon. On the contrary, I hav found a universal desire for poace and union. I con fess that on arriving here I cberiehed all the prel udices of a true Badioal towardethese down-troa den people, but my opinion has undergone a entire chango, and 1 am now fully convinced o the gross wrongs that have been heaped upoi them by the unmerciful party now in power, 'hopo this unjust treatment of a brave but falle foe may ceaBe forever?that the reports gotten u by political demagogues, who employ their pon i fabricating falsehoods of the deepest dye, may n longer deceive tho Northern mind concerning a fairs in tho Southern State?. They are all false only intended to continue the dominant party i power. . Y7r It is tho great dedfre of the Southern peoplo t bury tho dark deods of the past four years, an meot the Northern people with ronowed lovi With tbls feeling existing in their bosoms, is it nt a burning shame that they are daily subjected t the most galling insults from a party who woul gladly neo thorn deprived of every vestige of froi dorn ? I ask tho Northern people, how is it pose ble fpr a people, after undergoing all the horroi ?f ? war of plunder, should lend their aid-to Government whioh seeks to degrade aud onala\ them? It is au impossibility, and, if persisted ii will, before long, create an undying hatred bi tween the two sections. Let any other course I pursued, and a kind, brotherly feeling will oprin up at once. The expressions of hatred and deep revengo'tbi daily ascend from the halls of Congress to hig hoaveu only tend to increase the wounds of tt nation. In the name of God, then, let those wl represent the people in our National Legislatui coase their persecution?, find turn thoir attontic to the development of tho resources or our v? country. Bemove the scourge? that now opprei the annoy South, and her desolated fields woul be made to blossom as the rose. Could Mr. Stevens or some of his disciples ha? attended a mass meeting held here a short tin RRO, in indorsement or the polioy pursued 1 Presideut Johnson. I think they would bo le abusive of tho South in the future. The spoeohi made were by Southern orators to a Southei audience. I failed to hear one word that breath) the spirit of disloyalty. After a few remarks fro the President, explanatory of the meeting, Ho Walker Brooke, formerly United States Senat from this 8tato, was introduced to tho aasomb) Soon bis volca filled tho hall, nod could the not o.'n: sentiments ho expressed have roachod tho halls of Congress, the political "thugs," whose presence thero disgraco tho memory of our forofathors, would have been made to blush with shame at their own perfidy. Mr. Brooke's remarks con vinced mo of hie great powers as a profound statesman. I had tho honor of hearing his eulogy on tho death of Henry Clsy, delivered before the United btates Senate. A few moro such men as Mr. Brooke could do more to calm the turbulent sea of political discord that now exists than a thousand such vulgar demagogues aa now dis grace our eoat of Government. All the statements made before tho Reconstruc tion Committed by certain military officers of high command, I believe to be a pack of falsehoods, only intended to continuo tbonieolvea in office. Lot tho H i m tti only have fair play, and tho whole world will soon ho convinced* of her earnostnOBB for peace and friendship toward tho North. I wish, for the benefit of our whole country, that every unbeliever could be as fully convinced of tho real state of affairs as myself. -?T? Fashions for April. Le Follet for April says : The law of fashion with regard to tho make of drees, Booms now es tablished in a very decided mannor. It is quito inadmissible for any dress to be made with plaits all round tbo waist; tho front and sides, at any rate, must be plain. There are, however, two Btyles in vogue, the PrincesBO and the fourreau. For most figures we givo tho preference to the former, which has one largo plait at the bach; while tho second in entirely on the bias, like a long casaque, and i-> certainly less graceful, thoro boing nothing to mark the waist; the fourreau ?b, therefore, lese becoming than tho Princesao. For both atyle8 the long train is necessary. The sizo of the crinoline i? very sensibly diminished, but it cannot be altogether disponssd with whilst tho drosses aro so very long. Nothing can sustain them so well as tho case, though that may bo of very small dimensions. The fashion also of looping dresses up over tho petticoats, out of doors, whion will certainly con tinue through the summer, render the crinoline indispensable, in order to sustain them gracofally. Tho simple spring dresses will not be much trivamo??pattes or lozengos, or eilk pipings, will be all the ornament?but for richer materials the various passementeiie will be in requisition. By passementerie, our readers most understand not the gimp of former days merely, bnt silk cord, mixed with gold, cameos, fringes, crystal jet, and mother-of-pearl pendants in endless variety. The rage for Olany lace has produced many pretty white betiste and muslin bodies trimmed with it, and for small reunions they are muoh spoken of; bnt it must be said that black lace ie preferable for evening wear, excepting, perhaps, for young ladies. They are mado with baaquiuea of wide lace, and, if desired, a sash or band may be worn over them; but they are always high, and sometimes made open a little way down the front.
