THE POSTOFFICE will bs open this (Christmas) day only from 8 A. M. to 10 A. M. EDITORIAL VISIT_Mr. D. B. MCCEEIGHT, of thc Wmr.sboro' Tri- Weekly News, paid us a visit yes? terday. Crrr EAILWAT.-We aro requested to 3?ato that thc City Railway cars will run from 9 A M. until 1 P. M. to-day. PERSONAL.-We had tho pleasure, yesterday, of a visit from Mr. J. D. B. DEBOW. We wore grati? fied to leam from him that his colobrated "Re? view," which is now published in New York, ia in a most prosperous condition. Mr. DEBOW will re? main ia our city for a few days. THE OLD GUARD.-We arc in receipt of this fine j Democratic Magazine, for January. Our fellow oitizen, Dr. W. GILMORE SIMMS, commences a new story in this issue, which will be continued through several numbers, entitled "Joscelyn : a Talo of the Revolution." From the opening chapters of Mr. Socas' story, we are impressed that it is one of the best of this author's productions. THE WEATHER.-Tho coldness of the middle of the past week disappeared by Sunday last, and it was as warm on that day as if it were Spring. Yesterday morning opened with heavy rain, and tho prospects of a disagreeable day were flattering, but by ten o'clo3k in the forenoon it cleared beau? tifully, and the balance of the day was delight? ful, giving promise of a splendid Christina s, which will, no doubt, be hugely enjoyed. THE CHEBAW ADVERTISER.-Mr. H. C. POWELL, the proprietor of this weekly, is in the city for a few days, and will call upon some of the principal merchants. We again recommend the Adcerlise) to our city friends as an advertising medium, and assure them there is no better advertising medi? um in the Up Country. It takes the place of, and is in the same hands as the Choraw Gazelle, so . favorably known before tho war. THE NEWS STAND AT THE MILLS HOUSE.-We are indebted to our enterprising young friend, DELACEY, of the Mills House News Stand, for Frank Leslie's Ladies' Magazine, DemoresVs Monthly, and the Waverly. DELACEY has made a good hit in fixing a news stand in the Mills House, and he has displayed a first rate amount of enterprise in his selections. Many boarders of that excellent house very often wish pe? riodicals, newspapers and magazines, and they heretofore have had to walk up town to Mr. Voo LAR'S or Mr. QUINN'S to get them. Now, however, DELACEY is upon the spot, and he is really, for that section of the town, a benefactor in the news line. We hope he will continue his business as he has commenced it. . . LIGHT.-The heavy clouds which floated over? head on Sunday night, obscuring the moon and throwing a mantle of perfect darkness over the city, could not but bring to our mind the great want of light in the shape of gas that our people are now suffering under. Improvements of many kinds not only have beca made in Our town since the close of the war, bat efforts are still making for its advancement in almost everything but light, a most necessary adjunct in the progression of every well ordered city; and it is a puzzle to us to understand how our City Fathers, in their at? tention to matters generally, can let this impor? tant matter pass without notice. As for the burnt district, we feel satisfied that nothing but a trage? dy will ever bring a lamp into it; and we are satis? fied that the winter won't pass without a recom? mendation from a coroner's jury that lights be put in it, or that it be surrounded with a wall THE CITADEL SQUARE BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL had a most magnificent .Christmas Tree at the Sunday School Room. The exercises com? menced at 5 o'clock yesterday evening. We ar? rived on the scene of action about a quarter past 6 P. M., and found the room very crowded-all eyes directed to the great Christmas Tree, mag? nificently decorated, and iUunfihated by hundreds of colored wax tapers. The superintendent was on a ladder against the tree, gathering the fruit for the good Sunday School scholars. There are neaf . ly two hundred scholars connected with the Sab? bath School of this Church, and here was a pres? ent for each child, ST. NICHOLAS, to avoid mistakes, having put the name of the destined possessor on every present. The ladie? of the congregation deserve the highest credit for the manner in which this tree was gotten up. Nothing can be better adapted to encourage the children, as'well as the teachers, in the good work they have undertaken, than a reunion of this character, in which they have the hearty rapport of the entire congregation. THE LUTHERAN CHURCH, worshipping in "Went? worth street, have a prosperous Sabbath School, and the superintendent and teachers very wisely and kindly determined to give their little folks a Christmas treat. Accordingly they had a large Christmas Tree put up at the Washington Fire En? gine Company's Hall, in Vanderhorst street, and covered the same with choice and rare "goodies" of every description. Rev. W. S. BOWMAN made the opening prayer. The children then sang a hymn, which was followed by an address from Rev. J. H. HONOUR, suitable to the occasion. He wound up by giving a graphic picture of good old St. Nick, when suddenly, to the utter amazement of the little ones, the Dutch saint, in full furred reality, stood up amongst them. The "getting up" ; of old Nick was capital. He had an immense long grey beard, a very long nose, his . cap drawn over his ears, and an immense pack on his back, sup? posed to be filled with Christmas presents. After some inquiry on the part of St. Nicholas, as to the behaviour of the children, he kindly made them a present of the great and splendid tree before them, took his station by its side, and divested it of the treasures that were hanging upon it, and gave to each child a gift, the number on which corresponded to a number on the ticket the child had boon previously furnished with, Yomg and old, all entered fully into the fun of the thing, and the affair passed off very satisfacto? rily. % WE SAW, last night, a most magnificent Christ? mas Treo at tho Charleston Hoi ol, tho work of our moat c3toomod friend, MIXEB. I' was intended for thc juvenile boarders of the Hotel, and refloat? ed groat credit upon the builder. BISHOP ELLIOTT.-From the Savannah Republi? can ol yesterday we learn ';that the funeral obse? quies of the late Bishop STEPHEN ELLIOTT, of Georgia, whose sudden demise wo noticed on the 21st instant, will take place on Tuesday, Christmas day, at 7 o'clock A. M. The Bishop of North Carolina is expected herc tc conduct the funcrol ceremonies. This sad occasion will be made tho offering day of a tributo to departed worth. Our city bas seldom been called upon to perform a moro mournful office than that which drops tho tears of respect to the memory of ono who has occupied such a conspicuous place in tho ecclesi? astical affairs of America. As a scholar ho was universally acknowledged one of the brightest lights of Eaglish literature ; as a divine, his fame is co-extensive with the denomination he so ably represented ; as a man ho was puro, generous, sympathetic, full of tho hearty good -will towards men, which made his Divine Master tho type of excellence. The following order of service is published for thc information of tho citizens of Savannah, all of whom will hasten to pay fitting honors to his mem? ory: Order of Service for the Burial of Ote late Rt. Bev. Stephen E?iott, lyishop of Georgia, on Christmas Bay, December 23, 18(30. Tho remains will bo conveyed to Christ Church at 7 o'clock A. M.: and placed" iu front of the Chan? cel. The morning ??"ayer will commence at 7i c^clock. The Anto-Couimi?nion office at ll o'clock A. M., to be immediately followed by the burial service of the Church. The friend: aud relatives of the late Bishop aro affectionately invited to participate in this last tribute of re peet The first lire pews on each side ot tue middle aisle will be reserved for tho family and relatives. FCNEBAL OBSEQUIES.-The Republican, of yes? terday, gives an account of very interesting ser? vices, held on Sunday, at tho Catholic Church in Savannah, on thc occas..n of tho re-intcrment of tbrce Bishops, two Priests, and two Sisters of Charity : After the solemnities of High Mass over tho remains of Francis X. Gartlaud, first Bishop of Savannah; the Bight Eev'd. Edward Barron, the Bight Eev'd John Barry, Bishop of Georgia, Fathers Gillespy and Hook, and Sisters Aloysius, Stanislaus, Monica, and Claro, tho procession was formed at the Cathedral, and proceeded to tho Ca? thedral Cemetery. A large and imposing crowd of spectators witnessed tho solemnities, which were conducted by Bishop Verot, assistod by Fathers DoFau aud La Fosse. After the usual burial sorvices were read, tho re? mains of .Bishop Barry, enclosed io ? coffin draped in black, was consigned to the vault erected for its final repose. Bishop Barry was born in Ireland, and died in Paris ou the 21st November, 1859. He was a second Vincent de St. Paul; was the second Bishop of Savannah, and his remains were trans? ferred from Paris to this cemeterv on the 23d day of December, 1866. Next were interred the remains of Bight Rev. Francis X. Gartlaud, the first Bishop of Savannah, who was consecrated November 18, 1850, and died of the yellow fever during the epidemic of i854. The remains were in a neat metallic coffin, and the tablet which marks his resting place has inscrib? ed upon it, " The good Shepherd careth for his sheep." In the samo vault were deposited all that was mortal of the Right Reverend Edward Barron, Bishop of Africa, who, in that far off country, lost his health, and returning to his home in Savannah, yielded up his life on the 12th September, 1854, during the prevailing epidemic. The tablet which marks his resting place bears this inscriotion, "I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for you, verily." Next were deposited the remains of Fa? thers GiUespy and Hook, at the foot of the vault containing the Bishops, and the impressive cere? monies concluded with the re-interment of the re? mains of Sisters Aloysius, Stanislaus, Monica and Clare, in the same enclosure. CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAS. ; and it is .well this is so, for otherwise paterfamilias would soon have to take the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. King street was crowded yesterday from early morn till late at night. The stores were full all day; grocers, confectioners, toy shops, fruit stores and fancy goods dealers, reaped a golden harvest. Nurses walked up and down King street with their infant charges, a respectable old gentleman went along, escorted by a daughter or two, from store to store, the weight of bundles increasing at every step, till he was ready to cry out : "Pity the sorrows of a poor old man." Old and young, black and white, male- and female, all were out after St. Nick, and from the amount of luggage they carried, they appear to have been successful. As night set in the crowd became denser. VON SANTEN'S was crammed, many not being able to get into the store, anxiously waiting for an oppor? tunity. The charge of the infantry yesterday, we fear, has "gutted" the establishment. KINSMAN'S was a lively place, also, all day and till a late hour of the night. How much French candy; ?fcc., Sec., they sent out yesterday, it would not be easy to estimate; but it certainly was considerable. RUS? SELL'S was also much frequented, for books, work boxes, illustrated fancy tales, Mother Goose's rhymes, and all kinds of stationery. There were other stores also very much occupied, but these were most so of ?such as we saw. Those lovely musical instruments, in plain un? scientific language, derominated tin trumpets, gave concerts in every part of the city, sometimes solo, sometimes duett, trio or quartette. Our Chinese friends, the fire crackers, gave ns a salute in front of THE NEWS office, Which delighted our young devils not a little. We have heard of nb ac? cidents so far, and hope there may be a similar exemption to-day. The market last night was one of the most lively scenes we have ever seen in this city. The place was brilliantly lighted, and the throng so great that it was only with difficulty housekeepers could wend their way through. The stalls were plenti? fully furnished and the wares displayed in tempting array. The fruit market was adorned, Christmas fashion, with boughs of evergreen, and tho apples, lemons, oranges, bananas, etc., never looked nicer or more seductive. MATOS'S COUBT, December 24.-Two licensed junk-shop keepers, who had bought stolen cast iron gratings from a black boy, at very reduced prices, and consequently calculated on immense profits, were fined $20 dollars each, while Abram, the artful youth who stole the cast iron, was cast into prison for ten days. George Smith, a colored confidence man from Northern parts, was complained of by Samuel Black, who was colored, and John Green, who was black, for having enticed them into a house and introducing them to the "strap game," an amuse? ment frequently indulged in by sharpers and greenysin larger cities than ours. Having lost $100 between them, without getting an insight into the pleasant pastime, they called upon the detectives for assistance, who.opened' their eyes in a very short time by putting the illustrious Smith in quarters that we have no doubt ho has an old acquaintance with. Smith said he was only a stakeholder in the afiair, and that he returned to the parties all the money he had, say $47.50, which may be so, but we don't think, if ever we should invest in a bet, that we would hunt long about the town for such a looking man as he is to hold the stakes. He was sent to a magistrate. Andrew Milton, a dark individual, who was ac? cused by a vender of goofs of putting a pair of pantaloons under his arm, where they certainly were not intended- to go, was turned over to a magistrate. ' Borneo Smith, "whose very black color would make one suppose that his character was breaking out, was discovered by a gentleman, on Saturday night, corning ont of his office with a daguorrcotype of a friend, and tobacco, pipes, &c, and who seized him and put him in "duranco vile." The ingenious defenco of Romeo, that "he thought a lady lived there who owed liim some money," didn't save him, fer lie was sent to be prosecuted. Scipio Green, a playful youth of color, who in dulgod in tossing a ball on tho Btrcot ou Sunday, was put for two days whero ho can play without MeAlpin. a colored mau, whoso wife had thrown some water from a front window, which rcachod the ground without being obstructed by a coat or hat, was fined $2. A man who had boen very drunk, but who said he was penniless, and who attempted to force him? self into tho room of Rosa Lewis, a colored woman, and threatened to shoot her, although ho had no gun, was fined $10; the announcement of which app axed to make him think that ho was better off than ho had imaginod. Several men, who had mistaken the street for a bed-chamber, and had quietly gone to rest, were made to pay $3 each for tho uso of tho moonlight. Thc wharf smokers seem to be smelling a rat, for there were only two cases this morning. THE LAUGEST TN THE UNITED STATES.-The Toilet Soap Works ol' COLGATE & Co., New York, are the largest rn the country-th 3 extent of the manufac? tory being demanded by the largo and increasing demand for the. splendid soaps made by-this load? ing firm. No soaps in tho market can compare with thoso of COLGATE & Co.. for purity of material and skill of manufacture. THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.-The statement of this Association, which appears in our columns this morning, is one of tho most flat? tering that has over beon put forth by a company engaged in a similar business. For the short time that this has been in operation, and the immense amounts of money which have passed through tho bauds of its officers, it is really an evidence of its great popularity. That many insurance compa? nies have suffered from the employment of incom retent officers, and a desire for litigation, is well known, and we may readily discover the great suc? cess of this Association by its excellent administra? tors, and its boast "that it has never contested a claim on one of its policies." The Charleston Agent of this Company is 0. A. BOWEN, Esq., at JAMES ADGEE & Co.'s, East Bay. ELEGANT AND EXCELLENT BOOKS.-In another column will be found the advertisement of Mr. JAS. O'KANE, Publisher, No. 126 Nassau street, New York. We feel a real pleasure in catling attention to the most truly beautiful juvenile works there referred to-tc Hans Brinker," and the "Irvington Stories." One of the most distinguished critics in our country says of these stories : "Stories by a lady who has looked into the hearts of children, and who has learned what they crave. Nothing about them that is not pure ; nothing about thsm that is not beautiful." "Tho Boys of the Bible," by HENEY L.
