FOOD FOB. THE ?NEHBS.-It affords us satisfaction to mention that tte schooner 'JV.* TT. Snutti, Capt. .TooKEB, arrived at this port on. Saturday, with -9000 bushels of corn an i other supplies sent herc by the benevolent among our Northern fellow-citi . zens, to aid the poor in their present needy con? dition.. Thc schooner .JV. W.

Mr. CAPEES will take charge - of Christ Church at Greenville, where he has been preaching for some months, and Mr. "Wrr.i.iAmn will proceed to Athens, Ga., as he belongs to that diocese. -"'.' TJLAVEX,. NOBTHWARD.-Although pur . weather here remains of delightful temperature,, we notice " that'rmuiy persons h?v? commencod their move . ment Northward, which, is borne;'greatly facilitated by the extremely low price of passage which our numerous steamers to New York aro charging. On Saturday last, the fine side-wheel steamship Manhattan, Capt. WOODHULL, of Messrs. STBEET BEOS. ifc Co.'s New Tork lino, had ovor one hun? dred cabin passengers, remindingus vory forcibly af the great patronage enjoyed hy the1 'old line of New York side-wheel ships before the war. COBONOE'3 INQUEST_On Saturday morning a boat with three colored men named Lewis Polite, Nelson Waring, and Wm. Hicks, left Mr. JOHN THOMPSON'S plantation in St. Andrew's Parish for /jDharieaton, for the purpbse.-of bringing a load of old iron to the city. About eight o'clock, when off East Bay Battery, in consequence of the roughness of the -waves, the boat was swamped, and two ol the crew were-drowned; but Hicks suceeeded'in keeping afloat until picked up by a fishing boat and was brought to the city. The two bodies were subsequently recovered, and an inquest hold ovor them and a verdict rendered that they came to their death by accidental drowning. THE NEW YOBS LIFE ISSUE AJJCE COMPANY. Thia is the oldest and wealthiest company of thc State of New York-hut one, according to tho of? icial reporta. We call attention to the fun dam en tal feature of age, assets and dividends, or return premium, exhibited in its advertisement, as the consideration most worthy tho attention of those seeking an eligible company. It has been in opera . tion twenty-two years, accumulated over seven mil? lions of assets, and declared a dividend of fifty per - cant, to all its policy holders alike for each of tho past three years. This is more simple and satis? factory than the practice of some companies to distribute the surplus in different proportions ac ' cording toihoage of the policies, by which aper centage dividend cannot be declared, and no mem? ber can understand bis particular interest in tho surplus, whether it is rightly or wrongly esti ' mated. _ The risks of this company are especially well selected, and, like those-of others standing near it in age, comparatively low in proportion to assets, the most'obvious criterion of sound condition. In payment of premium it tenders the option of all cash or credit for such a portion, as approxi? mates to its probable dividend. It originated the highly acceptable plan of Life Roticies not subject to forfeiture, by two annual premiums, and offers all form of policy, approved by science and experience. Its President has held his office for twenty years past, and the actuary been in its service for the past seventeen, having therefore tho peculiar emi? nent advantage of an experience for its officers, almost tho same as that of thc corporation. Ito business bas been largest, where knowledge and familiarity with the principles of Life gov? erns, as well as the various forms of the system in different corporations have been greatest, and practice and experience largest, in the largo com? mercial cities of the country. ? We therefore recommend an attentive perusal of (he advertisement. Agent, THOMAS FROST, NO. 56 East Bay. ' THE BAXTEBX.-The early closing of the stores . on Saturday afternoon was generally observed by the merchants in che city; and the announcement .that there would bo music on tho Battery attract? ed a large crowd to that pleasant promenade. Many who were closely confined during tho week hastened to breathe the invigorating sea broeze, and to join the numbers who had already gathered at that point. The paviliion had been white washed, which consider ibly improved its appear? ance, and when occupied by the Band it soon be? came the centre of attraction. .The grounds are still in an unfinished state, but the inequalities have been all levelled, and tho promenaders do not have to hbor up the earth mounds as was tho case last summer. On South Battery walk prepar? ations hive evidently been made toward furnish? ing a pavement,- for wide' -curb of masonry has .. .-been laid, and the piles of oyster shells that are distributed at differe?t pointa aro ominous signs of future progress. The change in the location of . the pavilion has affected the promenaders, and , East Battery was not patronized to that extent on Saturday that waa-customary in tho past, but tho gaily dressed throng either collected around the .nusic, or slowly passed and repassed on the outer eide of the railing. Among those attracted by the music were a large number of colored persons, but there was no turbulent disposition manifested on their part, and we hope that the city will be spared a repetition of th? disgraceful riots that occurred at this point last' summer. The Battery has . always been a public promenade, subject only to. the rest notions prescribed by law-the penalties of which will . bo enforced on all alike both white and black. The new ticket office of the Street Ballway Com? pany is only partially completed, but will bo an ? ornament'to the grounds; ard in connection with . the music stand win make tho Ute ting Street en? trance doubly popular. The general appearance of the grounds proves that the Committee of Conn , , eil who J&ve their rennovation ic band have not negloctod'their duties, and the patronage: already bestowed upon this spot, will be increased as the - summer advances. There aro few Southern cities that poesesa^so magnificent a breathing spot, and (he ettentfoK IW&i^tipbri it by tho City Fatbors fin be gratefully appreciated by their constituent?. .?Wh?'**: V.? ?t*.S *-.>.. - . PBOY?SIDNS.-Wo leam that twelve- thousand to-day for this city, consigned to Gon. SCOTT, Com? missioner of tho Freedmen's' Bureau, which will bo distributed, as soon as it arri voa, throughout tho State to those who aro in need. A cargo of pork will also soon follow. ; Tire REPOSTED MUBDEB IN EDOEFIELD.-Wo have taken sonic pains toinqutro from tho proper authority, and havo also had tho ploasure of see? ing Gcuoral M. C. BUTLEB? and are glad to say that the report published in tho Augusta Constitu? tionalist of tho exception of two United States Bol diere by a posse cf citizens; In Edgeficld District is oniirely without foundation,. In times like these wo think that papors out of L-"< r?tate, ' jpocinlly Southern papers, ought to' bo very varoful not to give circulation to such rumors, which are gladly reproduced by the Northens press, while lite cor? rection is conveniently overlooked. THE GAZETTE.-We haver been favored with a copy of a new wockly papcrpf this name, publish? ed in this city, Messrs. CAra.FrELr> ct FORD, pro? prietors. It is an eight pago paper with a four pago supplement, and prosonts. therefore, a large amount of reading matter. From (he prospectus we soo that tho Gazelle is to te an Irish ami Roman Catholic organ, neutral in politics. The first number is well filled, and full of promise. It has "a long and interesting lctter? from. Dublin, which tells of the Fenian trials now in progress there ; a letter from Paris, giving on account of the exposition, stories, poetry, and copious extracts from Irish papors, giving the latest news in all parts of that Island. The Gazetteis well printed, and we sincerely wish it 'success and prosperity. Charleston in olden times had tho Catholic Miscel? lany, and wo doubt not its friends, and mar.v be? sides, will como forward to tho "support of tho Gazette. ?' THE HrBEEKicO'S oponed its exhibition on Satur? day night, at tho Hibernian Hall. Wo were (hore for a few mtnntes, and saw some eight or ten scenes, representing Dublin, its Custom House, Sackville street, Nelson's Pillar, tho Four Courts, the Castle, Record Tower. Royal Exchange, Trini? ty Collogo, tho old Parliament House, now the iSank of Ireland, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. ? The second section giving the Tom- of Wicklow, we did not want to seo. ." The scenery, rtsfnr as we can judge, is protty good, and the demonstrations copiously interlard? ed with Hibernian anecdotes, told in tho richest, thickest brogue. A number of Irish ballads are introduced, sung by Miss MAUT DALTON, Miss T. M??EVOY, and tho "celebrated Irish comic vocal? ist." Mr. CHAULES MAOEVOY, all of whom arc good performers. Our Fenian friends should go by all means, aa the Professor, who "doos" the exhibi? tion, exhibits decided Fenian proclivities at every foot of canvas. Bat this really cannot surprise us. Wo scarcely know how tho departed glories of i Ire? land can Lo spoken of in other than tones pf re? gret, and surely the patriotic son of Erin may bc pardoned a heartfelt wish that his country may ht restored to her pristine fame. Tho exhibition will only remain two days; to morrow night hoing tho last. THE ORDXTK OF B'NAI B'BITH-It is now about six teen years, we believe, since the Independent Orde: of B'nai B'rith, was established in tito TJhitet States. Tho name in Hebrew . signi lying, " UK sons (or childron) of tho covenant." Tho Orde is ontiroly composed of members of the Mosait faith, and has met with remarkable success.1 Wi are indebted to Dr. M. MATER, of New York, (for morly of this city,) for a copy of tho last Aunua Report of tho Proceedings of tho Constitutioi Grand Lodge, from which wc obtained some in sight into the workings of tho Order. Dr. MAYE: is tho "Grand Maskir." (Secretary, we presume. In the course of his report, wo find the followin? interesting episode : Before leaving this District (Nb. 1) I canno forego tho promptings of my hoart to placo o' record a noble act of true Jewish charity, Haknt fclh KaUali. performed by Yegar Sahadutha Lodgr No. 27, of Boston, Mass. In December last tbi Lo?ge learned that two orphan sisters, thedaugb tors of a deceased momber. who bad also lost tl?ci mother, were to be married on tho same day, Jar. ?ary 3L 1866. The Lodge at once ananifnou?l resolved to appoint a committee of five, with fti power to buy a complete household outfit for tites orphans, to" arrango a grand nuptial feast, wit ball, and to assess the members for all expense! and with the view to maire the whole festival e> elusively, as lt were, one of our Order, the Lodg invited tho undersigned. Dr. 31. Mayer, to b present and solemnize the marriage ceremony Tho undersigned, not so much because he felt biri Bnlf honored oy this invitation, as to testify, li his presence, Iiis appreciation of tho noble coi duct of thisLod^e, at once accepted tito invitatio; and cannot but say, from all ho sow and hoard o that joyful and solemn occasion, .that the feast rt douuded to tho great honor of thi? Lodge-it ws a nuptial feast distinguished by luagniiiceuc general joy, brotherly geniality and. sociabilit that made those orphans forgot that, their fatut and mother wore no moro ; indeed had they bec children of wealthy parents, they could have, m with no more genuine sympathy on tho part of tl brethren and tboir wives and daughters, God ble them 1 or have had a more magnificent; feast." In August 1866, the dato of tho last Annual 1 port, there were seventy-eight Lodges in oper tion, with Bix'thotisaml six hundred and so venty-s members, possessing over throe hundred thousat dollars of "rogular" and "branch" funds. Ov twenty-three thousand dollars had bren expend, ia benefits. A Lodgo in connection with thia order, has i contly been organized in this city, under t name "Dan Lodgo, No. 93 of L O. B.

SUNDAY SCHOOL AjrsrvEitSARY.-Tlie Sunday Sch' connected with the second Presbyterian Chun celebrated its anniversary on Saturday aftemc it the Church in Sleeting Streot. This school sne of v'te oldest in the city, and had for a ' lo time a larger attendance than any other. 1 war and tho dispersion cf thc congregation na rally affected the school, and it numbers ai prest far less than it did, but vigorous- efforts aro bei made to restore it to its former healthy stat Hr.. C. N. AVERILL, the Superintendent, and the i forent teachers had determined to moko the oe ?on both interesting and instructive, for in ad tion to the religious exercises in tho OUurch table was spread on thc grass',-and tho schol invited to partake of tho luxuries with which was covered; ? ' ?' "' .;- '";? Three o'clock had been appointed as the h< for assembling, and on their arrival tho child were soated in the body of the Church, inn ii?tely in iront of tho pulpit, tho smaller o! taking- tlie precedence. The exercises were ope: by prayer, and several Sabbath School 'hymns w rang, tho whole school uniting in this portioi tho ceromonies, their woll-trained voices mai thc church ring with the sweet songs of Zion. F. M. ROBERTSON addressed the children u] their responsibilities, and s poko of thc importa sf the rising generation, especially in the pres jrisis. His remarks were vory applicable, ;vore listened to by the childron with marked .ention. The Rev. THOMAS SMYTHE, D. D., the belo castor of tho church, then addressed tho sch Eis presence in the pulpit was a sufficient pi hat ho took a dee;? interest in both teachers i jnpils, and would use every effort to add to tl velfare. This discourse was especially adapt?e ;hs occasion, and was. full of ina trac tion. to all j ;ies. . . After the religious ceremonies were conclu he scholars adjourned to tho tables, whioh v jonvoniently arranged in the centro walk ui he trees. Festoons of evergreens hud been ta fully arranged around tho table, and tho t wero connected by garlanes of tho same mate: The tables wore bountifully supplied with fin sweetmeats and confectionary,-ana tho pupils ing arranged on either side, a blessing was poked by Dr. SMYTHE, and they wore waited r by the scholars of tho Biblo Glass and teachers. Tho entertainment provod to bo ai sufficient, and tho green was soon covored witt bached groups whose eager voices proved that wore enjoying tho anniversary. Thc lengthe shadows at length warned, them of the appr of night, and?- thc children were dismissed by teachers to their different homes. ' .' " This Sabbath School hos on its rolls two ired pupila, and a regular attendance ot. at : ono huidred and fifty ovory Sunday. , There fourteen teachers, who, with tho Suporintcm Mr. AVEBHA,, bestow their entire attention ; the duties of the school, and tho interest man: ed by tho scholars is a sign that thoir ex'er: have boen repaid. Dr. Sir*THE, in his sermon ye day morning, reviewed the past history c Church and thc School, and furnished rnur miuiaencoa of that period.

I trust this action of your Company wiU bo appreciated in tho right sense. You havo removed an occasion for collision and disorder.

In tho concession of a common right to share privileges conferred for tho benefit of oil Citizens, yon havo dis? charged a plain duty ia a manner most conducive to the public interest. It is more gratifying to see the citizens thcmBolvcs take the initiative in mensures tending to promote tranquility, concord and peace, than to find myself constrained to ex? ercise authority to secure those ends. Hence, I have not yielded to the impatience of those who desired to prose this question upon thc attention of thc military authori? ties, feeling confident that in this, as in other similar matt TR, a moro satisfactory and permanent solution would be found in tho voluntary action of those most In? terested in doing justice to the freed people I am eir, very respectfully (Signed) D.
