Welcome with your mellow chimes Joyous Bells of happier times. Silence now resigns her reign To thy soil harmonious strain. May thy music cease no more, Strike as in the days of yore. Let our hearts rejoice again* Long we've missed tay cheering strain. Welcome, welcome, Sabbath Bells, For with praise each bosom swells, As thy tones with sacred air Call na to the house of prayer. Since thy thrilling peals were hushed, Hopes have withered,, hearts been crushed, Other bells have sounded clear, Death knells o'er the soldier's bier. Bat those bloody days have passed, Silent is the warrior's blast. Now across the ocean's foam Welcome to thy peaceful home. Cease no more thy soothing chime, Echo on through coming time, When we've breathed our latent vow. Bing on, ring cn. sweet Bells as now. CACTOB. Charleston, S.

THE COLD SNAP.-After a siege of wet and gloomy weather, wo have had clear skies; but not without a frost of more or less severity, which we understand higher up the country was peceeded by some sleet. Saturday and Sunday were un? pleasantly cold days, and Monday morning sealed the fate of tender garden vegetables, and we fear the young peaches also. Although apparently not so disastrous in the town, we learn that frost and ice have been very visible ft few miles in the inte? rior. We hope for tho best, but are apprehensive that tho fruit country about Aiken and the upper country generally will bo minus a crop this sum? mer. As the planting has scarcely commenced, we presume we might reasonably hope for better things to oome.-Georgetown Times. COMMERCIAL.

The amount of such stock in the aggregate at this season of the year is always very large, and ii it does not move off rapidly at tho proper time there is danger of heavy losses. However, afewdayBit is hoped will drive away all anxiety und develop a brisk demand for all descriptions of goods. The market has been lower for nearly all kinds of merchandise, and stocks are believed to bo accumulating with a largo pro? portion of ourmanuiacturors. lue display of gooda in some of our large warehouses is magnificent beyond de? scription. Indeed, there is no place in the world which can compare with Mew York in this respect. Brown sheetings are in demand, but prices are a shade lower and the stock is accumulating. Best brands blotched goods continue active and firm; other less popular makes ore lower. Drills are selling freely, nnd some styles oro a s hade lower. Prints are lower, ov ing to failures in Providence and th e general tendency of .mer c hau di s e down? ward. New spring styles are, however, very active. Two large bills from a Lowell manufactory have been sold within a fow days, one amounting to S250.000 and tho other to $300,000. Printed lawns are dull and heavy, on account of the cold weather. Ginghams are in fair de? mand without much change in prices. Cambrics and rolled jackonets are lower but active, M lorias are steady. Delaines are considerably lower, but good spring styles are quick of salo at quotations. Tweeds are firm. Clutha and most woolen gooda oro more active and firmer lu prices, on account of tho now tariff. Kentucky jeans ore firm and sell freely. Carpets aro firmer and more active, flannels are dull. Blankets aro irregular in prices, without much demand. Foreign goods seem to be wanted, but buyers expect lower prices except on the richer class of dress fabrics, which ore selling more freely. Fine black goods in silks, deluinos, /leo., are wanted. The market closed with increased activity, and if the weather is warmer the coming week an old-fash? ioned rush is looked for. Boston Boot and Shoo Market. BOSTON, March 21.-Tho demand if anything isa lit? tle higher, but with the'receipt of some orders, and with a fow buyers still here, trade is fair for desirable goods, and there is an Improved feeling with the trade as a whole. It has been a general remark with the trade this spring that a majority of buyers bore take smaller parcels than usual; heneo a second call is expected, which will prolong the spring trade later than usual The demand for ooots and ah oe a for New York has boon light .this spring, being but little more than one-half as large as that of last year, when the de? mand continued quite active up to the middle of June. The California trade has been much better this spring, the clearances of goods being nearly doublo those of 1866. This, with a larger Southern Market; has kept the shipments almost up to those of last year for the same time. In prices the market continues about the same as ot former dates for goods on hand. But for more desirable goods and for those made to order tho prices are firmer, with a tendency to advance, it being impossible to manufacturo at the price for which' a largo portion of goods were sold, it tho prices ol stock of all kinds are considered. Tho total shipments of boots and shoes by rail this week have been 17,964 casos. The total shipments of boots and shoes by rail and sea for the Wjcok have been 20,620 cases. Havana Market.

Having played upon a Piano-forte mode by Messrs. Chiokerlng k Sons, of Boston and Kew York, I have much pleasure in testifying to Its general excellence. For sweetness and brilliancy of tone, delicacy of touch and magnificent power for concert purposes, ) consider lt a really QUAND PIAKO-FOBTX, AND DECIDED LY TH?

Among the chief points of excellence of the Chioker? lng Pianos, of which speak the renowned artists in their om gratula to ry testimonials to the Messrs. Chickering, are the greatest possible depth, richness and volume of tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearness and perfect evenness throughout tbe entire scale; and, above all, a surprising duration of sound, the pure and sympathetic quality of which never changes under th? most delicate or powerful touch. During the past forty-three years this firm baa manu aotared 80,000 PIANOS, Xn the construction of which they have introduced every ?mown and valuable improvement They have invsria bly been selected and usod by all of the world's ac? knowledged great artists who have visited this country professionally, both for private and pa bile use. THALBERG. I consider Ohiokering k Sons' Pianos, beyond oom* parla on, the best I have ever seen in America, GOTT8CHALK. I consider Chiokerlng k Sons' Pianos superior to any In the world. They are unrivalled for their singing qualities and for the harmonious roundness of their tone. There ls a perfect homogeneity throughout all the registers. The upper notes are remarkable for a clearness and purity which I do not find ia any other Instrument, while the base ls distinguished for power without harshness, and for A magnificent sonority. W?HL1. Your Pianos aro traporlor to any I have ever seen In this country or In Europe. I bave never hoard a tone so perfect; it yields every expression that is needed in muslo, and its quality is capable of chauge to meet every sentiment. This is a rare power, ona is derived from the perfect purity oi Its tone, togother with its sympathetic, elastic and wei) balanced touch. .POZNAN SKI. During the past eight years I have constantly played upon the justly colebratod Erard Planos; yours aro the only Instruments that I have found, either here or in Europe, to equal them in all tholr points of excellence. lt may bo satisfactory to our patrons and friends among tbe public at large to state that testimonials have been received from all the leading trtiuts who have visited or are now residing lu the United States, a few ol whose names, besides those above, we append: LEO.
