MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 7,1867. LOCAL MATTERS. To otra STJBSCBXBEBS_We would call tho atten? tion of thoso who aro indebted to us throughout the country, that the old year is closing and their accounts are not yet settled. Tho price of sub? scription is not large, and will not bo missed from their plethoric pockets. The first of January has long been celobratod as a day sot apart for closing old accounts, and we would not have our friends depart from this time-honored custom. Money is the motivo powor of every enterprise, and news? papers are no excoption, and wo respectfully ask our country subscribers to cash up and commence the now year with a clear record. OTB THANKS are duo Mr. DP. LACET, tho enter? prising news dealer of tho Mills Houso, for a lato number of tho Waverly Magazine. Mr. DE L. bas always on hand a full supply of periodicals, &c. COTTED STATES COURT.-In consequence of tho indisposition of Judge BRYAN no Court was hold yesterday, and the hearing of the Bank case post? poned to Monday. STREET RAILWAY_We understand that the number of passengers on this line on Saturday last exceeded twenty-seven hundred and twenty persons. GEN. ELLISON CAPERS.-This gentleman, we leam, has beon recentlv eloc ted Lay Reader of the Episcopal Church at Greenville, S. C. After he shall have been ordained it is thought he will be chosen as their Pastor. ELMORE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY.-By refer? ence to thc advertisement in another column, it will be soon that an adjourned meeting of this Company will be hold at their office. No. 20 Broad street, at \? M. to-day. CORONER'S INQUEST.-Magistrale KANAPATJX was called upon yesterday to hold an inquest over the body of Guy Inglis (colored), aged 75 years, on tho premises of -, Bcrrosford street. The verdict of the jury was that he came to his death from old age and general debility. INTERESTING CEREMONY/.-By virtue of a special dispensation from the B. W. Grand Master, a pub? lic installation of tho officers of Schiller Lodge, No. 80.1. O. 0. E., took placo last evening. As a public display of this character is very rar?, and the interior of the hall known only to the initiated, a large audienco availed themselves of the oppor? tunity, and the spacious auditorium was soon fill? ed. The installation was porformed by R. W. Grand Master R. S. Duryea, assisted by tho Grand Lodge, and the ceremony was both novel and im? posing to those who were unacquainted with tho mysteries of Odd Fellowship, and to whom the ball had been heretofore inaccessible. THE STRIKE AGAIN-Tho colored stevedoroD feeling satisfied with their conduct were naturally disgusted with thoso base minds that would stoop to work at tho old rates. Their anger warang bot tho moro thoy debated tho question, they finally made a foray on the different wharves yesterday and captured those who differed from them and forcibly prevented a further continuance of work. This warlike manouvre will not improve their cause, and they will find ibat their high-handed measures will redound to their own disadvantage. The temporarv inconvenience occasioned by this movement wi.l soon be obliterated, as tho "mer? chants and shipowners of Charleston are too ener? getic to allow it to interfere with their business, and are fully capable to resist all unjust demands. NEW POLITICAL MOVEMENT.-Senator HARLAN, Ex-Secretary of the Interior, has been sojourning in our city for the gast few days, and left for Wash? ington oti Friday night. It is stated npon go jd authority that his visit hero was for the purpose of obtaining information concerning the extent of the Union sentiment in the State, and to recom? mend the formation of a Union League and the organization of a Union rarty, the chief design of which shall be to aid in procuring a "Loyal1- Gov? ernment for the State. We learn that immediate action will be taken in tuc matter, tnd that a pe? tition will shortly be circulated, the purport of which will be to secure to thc State a government similar to that recommended for the State of North Carolina, which was presented by THAD. STEVENS in Congress. The saintly FRENCH, the planter and chaplain, we understand, is a primo mover in the matter. MAYOR'S COURT, January 5.-David Brown, a gay and festive "cullud gemnian," who had imbibed euch a quantity of the real "knock knee," that in staggering along tho street, he "fotched up" against a lady, was lined $5. A sailor, wno was found lying down on the wharf, and looking upwards for the Boston boat, was made to pay SS for being takon care of. John Dubose, a dark complexioned yout';, who bad been sent to the Guard House for attempting to steal a bale of cotton from the South Carolina Railroad, was about being turned over to a Magistrate for prosecution, when the Mayor re? ceived a message from an officer of tho company desiring that the prisoner be discharged and allow? ed to go on to Florida, to which State he was pro? ceeding when bo committed the act. His Honor, after some reflection, acquiesced in tho request, but was of the opinion that such a course of pro? ceeding did not aid him much in putting down offences of this nature. THE NORTHEAST PASSAGE.-The section of our city lying towards that point of the compass, is at present in a deplorable plight ; and if the locality of the varions fords is not known, it is a hazardous experiment to essay a crossing. Unless speedy ac? tion is taken, the little ground left will be swept away, and it will be necessary to ?barter a ferry? boat m order to communicate with the different pavements (?). This ia especially the case at the corner of Reid 'and Hanover and in the neigh? borhood of Amherst-streets. CHRISTIAN'S Slough of Despond was a mero trifle to the bog that, huge, dark and slimy, everywhere meets the eye. Tradition states that there was once a drain in that neighborhood, but it is only from the records of the Aborigines that we receive any authentic account of such an institution. It has long been lost in the ocean of mud that now covers the spot, but a research and exhumation would not only re? joice the antiquarian," but would benefit the com? munity. In addition to other evils, the tide, which bas been said to wait for no man, acts up to the proverb, and marches in boldly twice a day ; but if said tide were taken at the ebb, a determined body of men could soon nut a stop to bis triumphant progress, and, by a little judicious labor, restore Ulis neglected region to a passable condition. At the present time, and during the continuance of the late deluge, the inhabitants of that section nave hung their blacking brushes on the poison berry trees, for c shine soon becomes of the earth earthy, and passes quickly away. In their distress and perplexity they have lifted up their voices, and have requested the City Fathers to rescue them from a muddy grave, and to save their shoes from reproach. And their petitioners will over pray, Sec. WE EXTRACT from the Abbeville Banner, of last Wednesday, the following tribute to a gentleman well known in our community as a faithful and de Toted minister, and kind and excellent friend. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO REV. BENJ. JOHNSON. At a' meeting of the Vestry of Trinity Church, Abbeville, held on the 24th December, 1866, the following preamble and resolutions were unani? mously adopted: Whereas our esteemed Rector, the Rev. Ben? jamin Johnson, has received a call to Milledgeville, Georgia, and he has deemed it his duty to accept this invitation to a larger field of usefulness; and whereas he has been with ns for the last eleven years-eventful years in the history of our little Church as in that of our country-faithfully and tenderly ministering to thoso around him in sick? ness and in health, in adversity aa in prosperity, and amidst the horrors of war as well as in peace. We feel that we cannot consent that he should separate from us without giving some faint ex? pression of our regret at his departure, and our opinion of him as a man, a Christian and a minis? ter. Therefore, Resolved, That while we regret to lose our friend and brother, the Rev. Mr. Johnson, as our spirit? ual guide and rector, believing it to be a matter proper for his own decision as to where he can be most useful in his high vocation, we accept his resignation, and wish him and his family God speed among new friends and in a widor field of usefulness. Resolved, That whilst we thus humbly acquiesce in this result, our hearts aro not insensible to the rupture of many social ties and tender memories Jring out of kindly intercourse in the confiden relation of rector and parishioners, which has nded over a number of years-^including pe s of unusual misfortunes and so: rows. waived, That Mr. Johnson is entitled to our -?.uks for the fidelity and ability, perseverance ano* zeal, with which ho has discharged his pastoral duties; and to our affectionate regard for the sin? gular modesty and simplicity of his manners, and the purity and unselfishness c. ?is life and char? acter since he has been among us. ?Resorted, That in the opinion or this Vestry, the interest of the Episcopal Church in Abbeville Dis? trict has boon greatly promoted by the exertions and examplo of Mr. Johnson-his Christian liber? ality refuting the allegation of exclusiveness, his warm zeal contradicting the charoo of coldness, his modest simplicity correcting tho opinion of mere formalism, and his catholic piety command? ing the respect and winning tho affection of Chris? tians of all denominate ms. Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Vestry, it will be difficult to fill the place of Mr. Johnson, to whom this Parish is indebted, not only for his con? stant course of modest worth aa a gentleman"and judicious liberality as a Christi an nuniater, but for his i untiring exertions in building our beautiful Trinity Church, and ornamenting its grounds, which will stand a lasting testimony of his energy and taste, and a monum ht of his devotion to tile interest of the Church. Resolved, That this preamble and resolutions be entered upon the minutes of thia Vestry, and that a copy be given to Mr. Johnson, and another for? warded to St. Stephen's Church, Milledgeville Ga-, as a simple testimonial from those with whom Mr. Johnson has labored in the past to those ?mong whom he is to labor in the fufare. Resolved, That the foregoing preamble atd reso? lutions be published in the papers of the District. JOHN A. CALHOUN, Chairman Vestry. W. A. LEE, J. TOWNES ROBERTSON, THOS. JACKSON, . A. C.

THE EPIPHANY OB, TWELFTH DAT.-Tho 6th of | January, or "Twelfth Day," ie so called, hoing tho Urolith from Christmas, and Epiphany from a Giw'? word signifying appearance. It has bees from thc earliest ages a festival of tho Church in commemoration of the manifestation, of Christ to tho threo Magi or w iso men of tho East. Tho Epi? phany was first ohsorvod as a separate feast about tho vear 813, but tho primitive Christians observed the Feasts of the Nativity and Epiphany as carly aa the fourth century. To render duo honor to the memory of tho Magi in tho middle ages, their worship was celebrated by a little drama called the "Feast of tho Star." This was performed by the priests and their at? tendants in their different Churches, and was con? sidered at that time an interosting and imposing spectacle. At Milan, in 1S3G, the ''Festival of tho Three Kings" was celebrated by tho Preaching Friars in a manner peculiar to that ago. The three kings appeared on threo horses richly capar? isoned, and srrrounded by pages, body-guards, and other retinue After parading through tho principal streets they proceeded to the Church of I wt. Enstorgius, where in a manger wau the infant j Christ and his mother. Here tho throe kings of? fered their gifts. An immense concourse of tho people, knights, ladies, and ecclesiastics, attended | thin ceremony. In modern "days, especially in England, 12th day stands only inferior to Christina-, as a popular fes? tival, but "is celebrated in an entirely different style from tho past.- Among other amusements on that day was the 12th cake; this was a large cake formed with a bean inserted; the cake was divide'" by lot. and whoever obtained the piece containing the bean was accepted as the King of the day, and called the King of the Bean. Besides this, a number of jocularities, gamos and amuse? ments are played; bnt the practico of observing the day is gradually becoming obsolete except in those countries which still preservo a fondnosB for old customs. Formerly, monarchs took a part in these games, and cases are on record where Mar-, Queen of Scots, resigned her throne for tho day to the more fortunate Quoon of the Bean. Down to the timo of tho Civil Wars of England, the feast was observed with great splendor, not only at Court, but at tho universities and else? where. Tho Puritan element which then got the ascendancy, frowned so contemptuously on such profane amusements, that they have never been restored to popular favor to tho same extent. It is now merely a Church Festival, and only observ? ed by the Episcopal and Catholic Churches. The period of Carnival (named as a farewell to fl -sh) begins on Epiphany and ends on Ash Wed? nesday; this is observed in Beman Catholic coun? tries, but particularly at Borne and Paris, as a timo of merry-making and pleasure. In modern Rome, the masquerading in the streets and all out-door amusements are limited to eight days; in Paris the time is much shorter. The only places in this country where the Carnival is observed to any extent, are Canada and the city of New Or? leans. THE STATE NORMAL AND HIGH SCHOOL.-This noble institution was reopened last Wednesday for j the reception of pupils, after a long but unavoid? able interruption. The Normal School, before thc war, and during the years of its early progress, stood first in the State among tho female institu? tions of learning, and many are tho teachers that were fitted here for their responsible calling. Under the able and experienced guidauce of Mr. Mood, the present principal, we have no hepitation in prophesying a brilliant future for the Normal School. THE BTNOPTRIO LANTEBX AT TBINTTY CHUECH. These interesting exhibitions, which have been postponed for some time on account of thc incle? ment weather, will positivere take place to-mor? row afternoon at Trinity Church. When these view. were exhibited in tho College Chapel, they 1 pleased and entertained audiences, and when it is known that tho ultimate object of the present per formanco is charity, that and tho small price of ad? mission charged will attract many who still remeni- 1 ber their past visit with delight. REDUCTION OF WHARF RATES.-Tho attention of | the business public is requested to the advertise? ment of Mr. E. C. HOLLAND, Agent for North and South Commercial Wharves, which appears in our issue of to-day. It will be seen that a most impor? tant reduction has been made on tho present j charges for wharfage, and that the rate for Up? land Cotton will be 25 cents per bole per month, instead of 50 cents, os at present ; 40 cents per bale for Sea Island, instead of 75 cents ; for Bice 24 cents per tierce per rio-.th, instead of 40 couts, and other charges to be in proportion. This property consists of two fine piers extend? ing into Cooper Biver, which havo lately been placed in superior order, with convenient and well constructed warehouses, and every arrangement suitable for the transaction of a general wharfage and storage business. f3& The Commercial Wharves were the depots for a large business before the war, and under the management of Mr. Holland, who is a skillful and long experienced manager of wharf property, its old patronage should be largely exceeded. THE CHARLESTON HOUSE.-The energetic pro? prietors of this establishment ore determined to be up with tho times, and in order to be up to tho mark they have marked down several styles of I goods. These, consisting of dress goods and other articles, all entirely in season and of the best qualities, they now offer to their numerous friends and the public at greatly reduced rates. Bargains are always eagerly sought out by the ladies, who, we predict, will soon throng Messrs. Stol!, Webb & Co.'s extensive store, and reduce their piles of goods considerably. The Charleston House is so well known to our community as a thorough and popular business establishment that the ladies ore satisfied from Ihe advertisement (to be seen in another column) that the goods ore os represented-cheap, ser? viceable, and a bargain. THE FIBST of the year has always been celebra? ted as the time for making new outfits and sup- j plying deficiencies. Messrs. MACKEY & BAKER, the popular proprietors of the furniture store in the Auger buildings, ore prepared to supply all de? mands in their line, but have especially a fine as? sortment ot cottage sets which, fer cheapness, du? rability and service, cannot be surpassed. All who Q0"d a neat and substantial set would do well to sall at their warehouse, and they will find no diffi? culty in making a selection. ALE I ALE 1-The lovers of this beverage will be pleased to see, by a notice in another column, that Messrs. J. & W. H. ABHSTEONQ, at Nos. 40 and 42 Harket street, have received a large supply of 31agett's justly celebrated Ale. The Brewery of Messrs. W. Clagett & Co. was established in 1776, md their Ale being all warranted, is of the best j juality. The Messrs. Armstrong are the agents or this Brewery, ard procure their stock from fountainhead. As OLD HOUSE WITH A NEW NAME.-Messrs. MOISE & Do WIE, we learn from their advertise- \ ment, succeed the well known house of KING & DASSXDEY. Mr. MOISE has long been in the drug business in this city, and is thoroughly acquaint 3d with all its mysteries. He was with KINO & 3A ssn>EY during the entire time they did business n this city, and is, therefore, well known to all heir old customers. Mr. Do WIE, formerly of the trug house of BUST & DOWTS, has a large'circle of { Monds in every State of the South and West, who viii feel gratified to learn that he can be found at lis old post again.
