Tho coal miners at Peanstadt, Westmoreland County, ccmmonly known as Penn Station, on tho Pennsylvania Railroad, have beon on a stiike for several weeks, in consequence of a proposed re? duction of wages. On Monday last a compromise was effected between the coal men and some of the strikers, the latter agreeing to commence work ou Tuesday morning. Those not included in the agreement armed themselves with picks and other weapons, and threatened vengeance on auy vio? lating the strike. Thoso who had agreed to go to work started for tho minos but they wero mot by the strikers, and a bloody fight was the result. Ic is believed that no ono was killed, but not one es? caped injury.

At 6 o'clock yesterday evening the members of the Board and their invited guosts entered the spacious and ologant banquee hall of the Charles? ton Hotel, to the inspiriting music of the U. S. 6th Iufantry Band, which was stationed under tho ver? andah ia the quadrangle. The hall had been beautifully and tastefully dec? orated, under the supervision of A. W. WARDELL, Jr., Esq. At the head of the table tho Stars and Stripes were unfurled, enshrouding within their folds the Palmetto Flag. Over tho contre waB the following legend: "When commerce flourishes, orosperity reigns." The room was further decora? ted with the British, Russian, French and Spanish flays. The tom ensemble of the Hall was of daz? zling splendor. Never before have we seen tables BO finely ornamented, and all in psrfecfc taste. In front of tho President was anchored a large vessol, the George Peabody, under full head of steam; on the table *o the left was the Temple of Liberty, an elegant s uoture, in the construction of which not a little architectural skill was exhibited. Opposite to it was a locomotive and fi eight train crossing tho Edisto Bridge. Further down OE the eastern kable was a pyramid of staple productions of South Carolina cotton and rice, and opposite to it a splendid Palmetto tree, with fae simv.es of . Sea Island cotton piled around. These ornaments wore ill manufactured by Mr JOHN MARION, King street. In addition to these ornaments a neat bouquot wes placed by each pla Le. There were in all about 200 covers. W. S. HASTIE, Esq., President of the Board du? ring the past year, presided at the banquet. To the left of the Chair wero seated his Excellency TAMES L.

The dinner was elegant, all that even the most ? astidious epicure could desire. It was well got- ' en np, well cooked, and excellently, served, les ara. WHITE & MIXER know how to keep a ho- . 01, -there is no mistake in that; and during tho ' m tire evening the arrangements, in every respect, j eft nothing to bo. desired. ? , Abouti 9 P. M., the outgoing Presidont, \Y. 3. IASTTE, arose and spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Board of Trade : Our inattention, born ami-lbt chaos and confusion, ios- , ered amid trials and disappointments, cole bra toa t> ; tight its first anniversary. A common danger brought ! is into existence-a common interest will cement our inion. We have lately seen the accumulated wealth of i tearly a century pass from our midst, ino fortunes ol , nany of us-th e result of long years of ho nora bl > in dru? ry-has been' absorbed in tne general ruin; but witni i pirit, energy and indomitable perseverance, great deeds i ian bo accomplished. And I would say to our young i nen, there should bo no such word as iah in their vu-. abulary. (Cheers.) Adversity lays bare the human mart I have lately seen so many instances of ml for- ; unes concentrated upon individuals, ad of which have ' jeun borne with meeaneas and resignation, that I am in- ? dined to think better of poor, frail human nature t " on in ormer years. . ? Man whom God made after His own image is not a foll- i ire. "How poor, how rich, Bow abject, how august; how ? implicate, how wonderful le man-how passingwondoi, i io who made him snub 1" < But Lit the dead bury the dead-let the past take care , )f itself-let us look vrlth hope to the bright future. . j "True hopo is swift and nies on swallows' winga; Hinge it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings." 1 My friends, let us for a timo throw aside all tho cares ! ind trials o? Ufe. and Uve but for the hour. Mr. HASTIE then announced the first regalar ] ?oast : "The State bf South Carolina," upon which tho j sand struck np "Dixie" amid the deafening cheers 1 sf the enthusiastic assemblage. . j Governor OBS arose, and was loudly cheered. 1 After the applause subsided, he spoke as follows : , Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Board of Trade : I thank you for the very nattering reception walch you < Have boon pleased to give me personally, and for the pa- < triotio manner with which y<.u have received tue senti- i ment to the State of South Carolina. I regard that tosti- 1 menial as an indication ol the respect and affection which ] her sons entertain for the Executive of the State, now < md in all times past, and I trust that the same regard < noll oe extended to her Executive in future. (Applause} i [am glad to meetyou on the present occasion, because ] this meeting is calculated to promote the commercial J prosperity of your State. I um especially glad, if tor no t other reason, to meet you amid such peculiar associa- < hons. I find around me the high dignitaries and ?une- i (donarles representing the army and navy ot tho United States. (Applause.) I also nnd around me the evil 1 officers oi the Government of the United States. (Ap- : phrase.) I lind also the chief officers oi your own city. : It is the first occauon which I have had the opp orra- l ni ty of attending, at least within the rmits ot soutu i Carolina, since the termination of our uniortunato wui, ; where with such a combination of influences thero have t been exhibited substantial evidences that we were at- i tempting to reconstruct the Union, and again reunite in 1 the same spirit of amity which existed previous to tho 1 commencement of the struggle. (Applauso.; t I should be very glad, ii it were in my power, to indi? cate a plan by "/hieb the prosperity of Cborlestoa,-a E city which not only enjoys tne affections ol your people ( hero, but the affections of the people o. the entire State, I te a degree which is not enjoyed perhaps by any city upon y earth,-I will not except even the city of Paris, of v/hic? t Lt is said that Paris is trance,-may bo assured; but I know of no means of your promoting your prosperity, in c the present aspect oi affairs, without tho introduction of 1 capital. When I look around, and recognize gontlemeu 1 hero of the highest oharacxr, intelligence and enter- I p lae, I realize that Charlutton does not lack for the clo- 1 menta that are calculated to give her a position highor e oven than abe occupied in former times. (Appjause.) ] You need capital. How is-that capital to bo produced? 1 Previous to tho war you had a banning capital amount- t Lng to something Uko *14,000,0W). You have nowa bulong capital amounting to ubour S400.0QO. Look at t thc contrast ; ?400,000 as compared with ?14,000,0001 < And you have needed, during inls present season., tba. < SU,0o0,000 more than you did when you shipped from t the port of (jhaxlestou 300,000 bales of cotton. During u the present year you had brought to your port probably t not moro than 100,100 bales ; and if you wid travel ( through the State you wih lind that thc crop to be brought hero next fill will bo materially reduced. Why? I Because as merch nts, factors and agents, < ou have not E been able to extend to the larmer und planter those l'util- t ities for cultivating the broad aoies now lying idle, c Wuich would have yielded their fruit, if ho could havu : commanded the necessary capital. How then, Mr. t President, and gentlemen, are these diulcultics to ie c removed? 3 For two long years it has been my aim to conduct tut t affairs of the state in a manner that should dovelope its t resources, and yet be, m accordance with the courso in? dicated by tho Executive of the United States, in a i measure, however, my efforts have been unavailing, and t within tho last thirty days a still greater, chango has been j . ecessitated. Alter wu bad done ali that was required of i oouth Carolina, Congress oomes forward and declares j that that body, and not the President, has thu right to t dictate the terms upon which tue reconstruction o? the e btate is to bo effected. Carrying out that view, congress o passed a bill nt its regular session knowu as th. tiber- v man BUL and, during its rec ut session, what is known a as tho Supplemental Bill; and the vital question now |; prescnteo to the people of South Carolina, as woU as tho v people ol' all the Southern States, is whether wo shall j; accept tho terms of those bills and endeavor earnestly, and in good faith, to carryout their provision^ or luid j our arms in silence, apathy, indifference and contempt, g with a determination to take no Btep. This ia tho quctf- c tian presented to the consideration of tho Southern pe-c- B pie. I propose upon the present occasion. Mr. President, and 1 Gentlemen of tho Board, to indicate to you my opinions c as to the course to be pursued by South Carolina. If thc I connsels I give are not acceptable, and Ido not substan- c tiate them by sufflolert reasons, reject them, as it is t rour duty and your province to do, but, if on the other I hand, they are reasonable and have weight, I sss: for I them your respectful consideration. (Applause.) I de? sire to state to you that your commerce, manufactures md agricultural interests wdl all remain paralyzed until aur political relations aro re-established and re-instated ai th thc Government at Washington, and until you se rure representation in the Congress of the United States. SVhilo the Constitutional Amendment was proposed to South Carolina as a Slate, and our own volition in that opacity could be exercised, as is well known to every jetitioraan bere, I opposed its adoption, but the act of Jongress recently passed, has assumed that this co un'.Ty s a conquered territory, a conquered people, and conse? quently that that bodv bas a right to dictate terms. The. jower exists m that body to dictate those terms, it is iecuf c lor the next two years, and when they place thern ;elves squarely and broadly upon that platform, I for mo, do not propose to go to the Supreme Court or any vnero else, tor the purpose of disputing that power; but ' n good faith I viii accept the torras, humiUiating as j hey may be, and openly, fairly aim squarely urge th6ir ' ?ooption before our people. (Great applause.) As I have said to you these terms aro humiliattnsr, and, . n many respects, ungenerous and unjust, but when Congress exercise their power in spite of the President of ' be United States, and without regard to the Consum? ion which has in vain been held up to them for the last lighteen months, I see no other course foru to adopt ,s a matter of interest than to yield. I happen to he one < if that class of pei sous that are disfranchised now. lenccforth, and forever. I have neither the privilege of nrolhsg myself as a voter of casting my vote at t ao bal- , ot box, nor of becoming a candidate lor the humblest iffico under this organization, and, therefore, the conn? el which I may offer upon the present occasion may be cgard ed os accepted by t ven those who are in the habit , 1 distrusting me as the expressions of an individual en irely disinterested and anxious only for the welfare of i is people. [Applause.] , wita reference to the disfranchising clause, I think it ras an unfortunate one. According to an estimate made 1 a ti ie region of country in which I reside, it appears that rtthin the .units of ALdorson District alone, about eigh cen hundred persons would be excluded from the pnvi- J 5gc of voting. I presu ? o that this rulo will apply to the \ ntire State of S^uth Carolina. Very many ol these per 0. -8 excluded, enjoy the esteem, respect and confidence f their fellow-citizens. Many of them, indeed, ard, in ( ay humble ju J gm en t, required in tho formation of our cate Governm nt. And the absence of these gentlemen in our Convention, whoa it assembles for the purposo of, repairing a Constitution, will be a source not only of re ret to the people, buta misfortune to the State, because heir wisdom would ens ? ie them to give such a direction a public affairs as would make them more acceptable ( a tho community at 1 ugo than those which we are likely 0 hope for with the present prospect It ls better, how- . vcr, that we should b _- excluded than that we should re- 1 ase to accept the terms proposed, when there is a rea onable certainty that if we do not accept those terms, ther and harsher terms wid be proposed than those , rhich are contained in the bill Looking, therefore, to : he interests of tho great mass of the people of South . larolina, and bolieving that the threat of confiscation will ot be carried into effect if we accept the terms of this ill; and behoving that confiscation will follow ii we do ( ot; knowing also that we shall be benentted by it? ac Bptenco, I say that, as my humble Judgment, inforost - nd wisdom dictate that we shall concur In the mocaure reposed by Congress.' (Applause.) 1 would, therefore, gay to every man In South Carolina, E 'ho has not been disfranchiged, that as soon aa the j roper order has been issued, ho should proceed to reg- . iter his nrnne, and prepare to go to the polls to vote for ? ie best man that can be selected to form a constitution nder which we and our posterity can live. I believe that Congress made a mistake, and they will < ealize it, when they extended suffrage to tho colored i ian. I was in favor of giving to th s colored race, before tint law passed, whenever ita individuals could read and t rrite, or possessed property to the amount of IMO, the , lectivo franchise. . ..!... ? *j In'tho first place, if you open the door for all to vote : ou give on opportunity for bad men to exercise their in- y nonce, but if you had restricted tho privilege in the 1 launer in which I had suggested you would have hod a uarantee that when their arguments aro addressed to col- < red men they would have had the good sense to reject ? com. In the next place, it Congress had created this c nutation to the right of suffrage, irrespective of color, I t ndortake to say that ovory man in ihe limita of South z axolina would in five years have qualified himself to ex robe the privilege. ? . .. Under the present circumstances, however, you hold , ut no such inducement You have an opportunity to 1 dUL-ato thia raco. If you ed?cate them you will make E hem citizens who will understand the reit tic us of IB ode ty much better than if they remain in asiate of T moran ce. It ts, therefore, to our interest to give them v n intellectual character; and lt is your Interest tax- c lier that tho black, man shall vote with you In tho oom- a mn election. I have heard a good deal said ot con troll- t lg the vote of the black mon.' It has been eup .osed < lat his vote will be controlled by personal influences, 1 nd notwithstanding his convictions of interest, but you ro TntHtflirnn. That vote is destined to be controlled t ot by personal considerations, but by going to the black s ian and fail king to Mm In private conversation, and roving to him that his interest in Sonth Carolina is e our interest; that ?he white man's interest is 1 ho black j ian's interest I think it can oe shown to any rational j lack man that it ls to his interest to make his friends L ore rataer han in the State of Massachusetts. lt is supposed that because tue black man han been 1 eld here In a condition of servitude for ages poa., so . ion as restraints have been removed from him j he will ; once become the enemy of the white mam -It will be sclared.that'tho Northern man has set him free;- But.lt lay bo ' remembered that it was not. tho toi, nor ie eocond, * nor the tmird year, nor till they were 8 died upon to fight in tho armies of the United fi ?tea, that they were set free. Suppose, however, that ? tey were set free by the Northern people, the question rises with tbom : this relation having been destroy a 1. we occupy a totally new position. What, therefore i our material, our social our personal Interest? I _?? LODOS c that milly ot tlu? colo rx J mlHm mm-crt- -Mffla gtatC, y itu before and alter tho war, aro able to cite the names ! Mr. A.. B. sud C., who have extended to them peon- B lory assistance. I. xi ugrusiniure flourishes in the State, whose interest ia c ..emoted by it? Is it not that man's who occupies the c isiiion of landholder? Yot you find Congress unpos- 3 ig a tax of three cents a pound upon oottoa up to ;-ep- 1 muer last, and two and a half cents since that date. j Looking at the last year's crop when there'was no com- ^ hunt of the colored people in any section of the Ate, and when we produced 100,000 bales ol' cotton, . bat proportion ol that has gone in the shape of taxa- , on? $1,200,000, whi li has been literally wrung from ? lose people, in the shape of tax upon cotton, while not 1 dollar has boen levied upon the wheat or grain In Ohio, 1 : corn in Illinois. ? Do not thou, tell fe, gentlemon, that the colored peo- \ lo have not tho intelhgenco to be interested in these { lairs. They need representation In Con ?ress UN much : i we do. 'They require that the tax shall be taken off ? leir labor, lt is not only the cotton of South Ciuoiirts, owever, but the tobacco of Virginia and Norm Carolina 8 hioh is as unequally taxed.' It ia'- not thon,- by Intimi- I ition and brow-beating, or by wronging these people, C tat you aro to oonfrol their votes; but you must show tat it is to their interest to vote with you, and I under- j ?0 to say, that when these facts are presented to those t ho have intelligence, they will be found standing shoal sr to shoulder with the white nun, and oarxying out the . rinciples which I desire to urge upon you on thia ooca- j; on. 6 It is to bo expected that attempts will be modo ?o alien- 1 :e tho sympathies of these people from us. - People will I imo her" uuu seo that tho negroes haye been persecuted, re concede the fact that theirs was a condition of servi- c ide. They were so under the law. It waa believed to ? a right but the relation la changed, and now, every s 0 LI ar wbich the black man earns by his labor goos to bis Dekat in precisely tho same way as every douar which 10 white mau earns goes into his pocket. Now, there- J ?re, our interest is identical. 1 As some of these remarks axe likely to go in print, I 1 enid bore toke occasion to say one or two thing* which -x d t sir 0 to go upon the record. When on emissary oomes t ere from the State of Now York, Massachusetts or j bio, and says to the black man, we dire your t fonds,-we are going to take care of you; vote with s; these white people cannot be trusted; I want our ilored men to say to those emissaries, to the Massa lusette man,-that in Sonth Carolina, under this law, t .matters not by whom lt waa passed, every colored t ian, twenty-one years of ag?, ls entitled to his ballot ad that he would not be allowed to vote tn Massachu uts, uni BS he could read and write. Say to the emissary c .om Ohio who comes here for the purpose of giving ad ice cs to how you ehull vote, go buck to Ohio, and en? gaten the heathen there, before you oom? here, be lUBu no black man there is out!tl. d to vote. Within * ie last three weeks, New Jersey, Ohio and Michigan f ave resolved that the black man shall not vote under I ay circumstances whatever. Ther-Tore 11 av to those colored men, when these em? isarios come among you tell them to go bade and re tove the beam from tho eyes of their fellow-citizens be >re tho y come here to take the mote from tho eyes of ur own people. 1 have seen indications in various localities In South arolina to organize a colored and white party, to be iliad a National Union Bepub.ioan Radical Party. I , link that is tho name. I do not think this id wise ; 1 ecause 1 oe: le vu that tho white aud colored pei? le of these unreconstructed Sures will further tieir , ads more thoroughly by turning their attentions to * leir own Statu politics; and when we get the right ol ^presentation in Congress, I would fond mon there not 1 lodged to a Republican Union party; not pledged to the S lemocratic party, but I would send men who would say I i all parties : We stand by that party which will give us gual right H, equal legislation, and equal justice, uder the laws and constitution of this country. , I know there is an appr?hension wide-spread lu the 1 OTXO and West that, alter the reconstruction of tho B outheru States, wo ?halt fall into the arms of our old Liies and associates? the old Democratic party, I say to 1 ou, gentlemen, however, that I would give no such ledges. I waa identified during tho ten years of mv ubli i career aa a represen iauve in Congress from one of ie Districts of Sou t- Carolina with that party ; and as ly distinguished friend, the Commander of this Military 1 'istrict, knows that 1 enjoyed their confidence, and thu ighc t office within tho gift of that party of which I was member. (Applause). ( ? hare, thereiore, every reason to entertain tho re- . peet and regard lor that party, and I have entertained 10 hope for many years to see it reinstated in power; 1 ut thu dream hus passed. We have accounts to settle , .ith tiiut p .ny, gontleiuen, before I at least will consent ) affiliate with it. (Good, good, and applause.) 1 Many of you well remember that when the war first omnu-nood, great hopes ?md expectations were held out you- friends in the North and West that there would 1 e no war and that if it commenced it would bo north ot t Jason's and Dixon's hue, and not in the south. You now, sir, .turning to Gen. Sickels,) that faith was pledg- . d, and I will now state that if that faith had been pro- ' eriy carried out, there is no probability that any State ] at South Carolina would uavo seccedod from tho Ped- . ral Union. Another count which I have to bring againBt ao Democratic pirty, is that when tho Phila le pbia Convention ant, it adopten a platform uroud cough to embrace every conservative man North ? nd bou th, yet no y sooner had it adjourned than an ttenipt was made lo give ii a Democratic character, j nd in.;ke it appear that every m:m who attended that | ouvcution w. s an accession to the Domocrabc party. 2 Again, during thu pcudancy of-thc Constitutional t .mcndincut, every Northern newspaper, ?nd almost , very Democrat in the couutry, urged upou the South ^ 0 reject its provisions. It was rejected. A fow wcoas t nly elapsed, aud yet we find that on the passage of this | herman Lill, ou . Democratic friends, acting m conj une- ( iou w.ih old Thad. Stevens, were Instrumental ii in- ( orporating on taut bid ita most odious features, t went back to tho Senate, was tinally adopted, and very one ol' tho Demooratic newspapers uil over ho North, so far as I am iniormed, have omoout aud urged tho Southern people to accept tho , IL 1 s?y to you, thereiore, tuat in my judgment it is iL 1 for us to seek new friends and a now alliance, tei. -o I air. opposed to organizing any party in south Caro- . .na, hat will cement itself LO the Democratic or any other arty, \wouldnotafliliatc witnany party that wou.d puta . ut Of tv '?ind a half cents a pound on cotton, when not one : c-nt is ]>. t ou the com und grain raised in Ohio, Indiana ml oilier Western States. I will voto for no pirty that nil perp?tralo tsucn au inuijnily. Ther.lor , when we re recuustru. ted, I Lopu that our Ropres ntaiives will o to Washington anet declare allegiance to that party .hich will do u i justice, and that, in my judgment, is tue olicy ior Boute Carolina to pursuo in thi? emergency. , I will not siy that thc attempted organizatijn ot a lte lubuean party is unpatriotic, because there may be ; amii very patriotic men engaged in that work, but it ertainly ic a short-signted poticy for our people to pur ue. But, Mr. President, and gentlemen of tho Board of i-ade, 1 will not detain you longer. This being the first iccasion presented since thc passage of the Sherm n 1 dil, I felt that it was due to myself and to you to give xpression to these sentiments. I think they are disiu erestcd, for the reason that I am myself ueprived of the 1 privilege of going to the ballot-box, and of holding office. In conclusion, I would say again that I believe it In wise to give to tho black man the rights which has been conferred upan him, and to permit him to enjoy those privilege < in good nd th. 'J hrough their efforts we shall undoubtedly he reconstructed, and thus secure represen? tation, and our rights as equals in the federal Union. I thnT\]t you, gentlemen, for your attention. Tho Governor's remarks were listened to through? out with the most marked attention and loudly and enthusiastically cheered. After music by the band, Mr. HASTIE arose and gave the sec:nd reg? ular toast : Major Gen. Daniel E. Sickle'. Commanding Second Mili? tary District.-While the privilege of representation ?B ?lear to every American heart, we aro gratified that under our present government the responsibilities of power uro placed in the hands of a brave mau "and a statesman. After the prolonged cheering, offered at the mention of General SICKLES' name, bad subsided, the General arose and addressed the audience. We are unable to give his remarks in extenso this morning, but hope to be able to lay his speech in roll before our readers in to-morrow's issue. Mr. MARSHALL, the new President of the Board, entered the next regular toast : The City of Charleston. Responded to by Hon. P. C. GALLLAED, Mayor. The Mayor said he entirely endorsed all that Gov jrnor ORR said in regard to the Democratic party, md be only regretted th a < we should have been so long finding all this out. We had reported all the speeches in full, but the ate hour and our limited space, forbid our giving ?hem in full. Yice-President WILLIS offered the next regular ;oast: The United Slates of America. Responded to by Judge GEOBOE S. BRYAN. The next'regular toast : Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures-the three peat wheels of civilization. Was responded to by Mr. R. S. BRUNS, in a bril iant, highly and tolling speech. The sixth regular toast : The Chamber of Commerce of Charleston-Our Bister nstitution, designed, like our own, for the?toeflt welfare )f that prostrate but beloved city, with which ' our.for unsfi are equally and irrevocably cast. Was responded to by Col. A. 0. ANDREWS, Presi lent of the Chamber of Commerce, as follows : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Board of Trade: I thank you most cordially for the kind expres? sions to which utterance has just boen given. I .hank you for the grateful courtesy which accords ne the privilege of participating in your festivi? des, ana which affords me an opportunity of indi? cating how profoundly I sympathize mall the gon ;r JUS emotions which this commemorative gathor? ne is now eliciting. But my sense of indebtedness is deepest, gen Jemen, for the right welcome and pleasant office vhioh it enables me to discharge, of tendering to rou the kindly greetings of that venerable assooia ion whose representative I have the privilege of >eing. She congratulates her younger sister upon the lazzling entree she has mads upon the public irena-so fitly appointed-so captivatingly array id-with the dew of tue mornmg yet gloaming ipon her brow-bounding with youth and frosh less-exhuberant with hope and joy. As she gazes upon her rapidly expanding charms nth womanly pride, she shares m her prospective riumphs, and, vith the affection of an older sister, ihe bids her welcome and all hail I I have said, ihe greets her as an elder sister-I was upon the. mint, Mr. President, of sayi ig os a mother, and nth maternal affection; but the good lady, whose hampton I ax, is a true daughter of mother-five, md there is a great d al Of the "Old Adam" in ter. ' I am sure she will smile upon me for sacri loing rhetoric to th? sexual characteristic. She is proud sir, to take her young and abras? ive Bister npon hex arm, and chaperone her into looiety. She is not tho first nor will she be the last moth ir, who has passed her channing daughter off, as 1er sister. Besides, our elder elater ?B still fondly conscious if her own charms, she feels, sir, that shebas hem. .; If she ls," fat and forty," she w still." lani" " Age cannot wither her; nor custom stalo Her Infinite variety." . Mrs. Madison once said that she never forgave ,ny young woman for not trying to make herself 3 pretty as she could. The venerable lady might lave left out the young. Now our elder sister has a great reverence for ,11 such authoritative counsel, and it. is marvel? ous, sir, how attractive she can make herself when ihe dresses up-t>uta _pn. ncr " lfig???fiz? " and ter waXer-wMel,'' and uer '?.mamtsP'-verily, sir, he is a " parlous" girl 1 And let me tell you, Mr. President, your more Lemurs and stately sister bas not been uu ibservant of the adroit flirtations of the'charming .oong coquette, whose debut we are now com nemorating. I don't know, sir, what it is, unless t be your winning ways, Mr. President, but it is wonderful how the men have taken to her I I might let yon into some family secrete-don't letray my confidence, and I will take tho risk. Lh 1 if you could only have got the peep I had, and lave seen the little vixen shaking out her curls, ter morry face radiant with successful intrigue, yes sparkling with delight, "laughter holding >oth her Bides," clapping her fairy hands, in very icatacy, as she recount-d how her arch manouver ng. and captivating glances - had successfully >rought to her feet those shy old beanx, who roil m unctous tongue under their heads, and would narry both sisters if they could in order to secure a louble jointure 1 Well, sir, X am commissioned by her, whom I re? present, to tell you to-night, that rio' ono rejoices nore heartily than she does.in all ye ur conquests. In the sacred seclusion of her boudoir, her heart* lilating with woman's sympathy and family prido, he imprints a sisterly kiss upon the newly an lounced belle, and in her tenderest accents- whis >ers, "Well done," "go on sister-go on I" We are both aiming at the dame prize-tne good >f the family-the reinstatement of tu o old home itead in something of its ancient glory-and ibo ve ill, striving, amid doubt, and perplexity, and sor* ow, and privation, and trial,-yet in the strength if filial duty-striving, that our dear old mother om and ble oding-deor or to us than ever, as she sits n her as hes-m aj e s tic even io her desolation-bank upt in ah,-save her own immaculate virtue, and he unconnscated love and fealty of her children hall again put on her beautiful robes, and dower is with her blessing. The seventh regular toast: The Judiciary of South Carolina-Never false to its rusts, its truths, the traditions of the past, the duties of he present, and the rights of all; Was responded to, in his usual earnest and elo? quent manner, by Chancellor H. D. LESESNE., The next regular toast: The Prat-Powerful equally for evil and for good, fever good In bad bands; never clean In filthy handu; squiring at once tho man of wisdom and the gentleman a each of its repre*<araiionB, Was responded to by T. Y. SIMONS, Esq. The tenth regular toast was as follows : Woman Neither last nor least. First in our affections if not at our feast. Responded te in an eloquent speech by CHAS. H. IIOISE, Esq. The eleventh regular toast was responded to by Ion. J. B. CAMPBELL- It was as follows : The Charitable Institutions of our Country-Never more iceded than now. > ever more lovely in the sight of an? jela or men than when busily working in behalf of suffer og humanity. The twelfth and last regular toast The Retiring and Incoming Presidents of Ute Beard of 'rode-Tho rising and tho setting sun: Tue one a guar mtee for the other. Wa?? responded to by the retiring and incoming Presidents. After this there were many volunteer toasts and nany brilliant speeches: but the waning hours .varned us of the necessity of leaving the festive ictno, for there was a long pull awaiting us at the >fiice, and although we have been ihus briof in ? JUT record of the eveiiing's transactions, it was lfter 4 A. M. before wo brought our labors to a :loso. We feel assured, therefore, that our roadors viii excuse our not giving more of the speeches. The following toast, by JOHN B.
