YELVERTON is announced to read in Augusta on Monday night. PERSONAL.-His Excellency Governor Orr left the city yesterday for Columbia and Anderson. Domestic affliction calls him suddenly away. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS AND COMMON PLEAS, HON. F. J. MOSES PRESIDING. -The day was consumed in tho trial of civil cases. Saturday was appointed aa Sentence Day and for the call of tbe Contingent Docket. COURT OF EQUITY, CHANCELLOR CARROLL PRESIDING.-Tho case of Jool M. Womack vs. Robert Austin, executor, was resumed and the testimony concluded. The argument for tho defence was opened by Attorney-General Hayne._ REAL ESTATE SALE.-Mr. James L, Gantt sold yesterday for Master James Tupper a lot on Bull-street, known as No. 135, for $4500. Thia lot measures on the north line 130 feet 6inches, on south on Bull-street 132 feet, east ou Lynch-street 145 feet 6 inches. Terms, one third cash, balance in one, two and tbrco years, secured by bond and mortgage. AN OUTSIDE OPTNION.-A gentleman was ac? costed on Broad-street yesterday morning by a country negro, who asked him "if the con? vention was dono." On hoing informed that they were still doing, he inquired "how much louger dey would stay ?" Tho reply, "about three weeks," disconcerted the sable citizen, who exclaimed: "Don we has to wait till March for our lands," and went off grumbling at tho delay of the new lawgivers. The anxious in? quirer evidently belonged to that class who ex? pect tko convention to furnish them with land, mules and cotton seed, and be was realizing the trutti of the proverb that "hopo long de? ferred maketh the heart sick." THEATRE.-Again last night the clouds low? ered upon the house of tho Templetons, but in spite of the gloomy weather tho Sphynx drew a good audience. The great mystery was un? veiled, and the marble bead spake. The play of "The Stranger" was well rendered, Miss Ah ce Vane making a channing "Mrs. Halle i." Miss Van.' improves on acquaintance, and her effective personation of this difficult role was indeod a dramatic triumph for one so young. The performance concluded with the farce "Merry Cobbler." The theatre w?l doubtless be crowded thiB ovening, when "Fanchon" mil be repeated and the mystic utterances of the Sphynx will again be heard. ARREST OF RAILROAD THIEVES.-For some time the South Carolina Railroad Company have missed iron from their yard, and tho de? tectives were n-t.fied of tho occurrence. From information received Lieutenant Hendricks was led to suspect certain colored men, and laid his plans accordingly. The arrest of five colored mon was made yestorday at the corner of Spring-street and the Railroad avenue, and the stolen iron traced to he junk shops of Pat? rick O'Horren and John Blanch, in Amherst street. These parties bave also been arrested, and will be prosecuted. Six car springs and a number of car .boxos, springs, pockets, ic, were recovered. It is hoped that the gang is now broken up. THE PeoPLE's LINE.-We take ploasure in referring to the enterprise and ability exhibit? ed by Messrs. J. & T. Getty, the agents of the People's Line of New York steamers. This line comprises the fine steamers E. B. Souder and Moneka, but tho agonts have recently add? ed the Patapsco and thc Miami, and if the car? rying trade should warrant, arrangements have been made to increase thc facilities of thc line. The Souder leaves to-day with a full freight and a good list of passengers, and the Miami and PatapBCO will follow on Saturday. The three steamers will carry nearly four thou? sand bales of cotton. Thc recent risc in cot? ton has induced the planters to send their bales to market, and Messrs. J. & T. Getty are making every eflort to relievo the wharves of j tho pressure and send thc staple northward. WHO DID IT ?-Wo have received in our mail a let .er from the Postoffice Department at, Washington with the significant endoise^ incut "Returned for more legible direction." We don't wonder at it, but wliy in tho name of all the chirugraphical graces bas Postmaster Trott sent tho blessed tbiug to this oflico? "We don't father tho deformity. Thoro isn't a maa in TUE NEWS building who could write so meau a liol if bc should try. Why, it looks for all the world liko a Virginia snako fence. A bottle of ink struck by lightuing would leave a mark just as e>asy to discipher, as this strange document that has como into our office, and will probably go out of it and koop going like a tract distributor or Japhct in search of a father. Mr. Postmaster Trott will oblige us by pass? ing his illegiblo favors horeafter to some other establishment, where tr ere are more bad pens and superior masters ot the hieroglyphic art. ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.-Valentine's Day, which is now observed only in the perpetra? tion of the grossest forms of fun and jocularity, was another Bort of festival with our ancestors. With them there were no ridiculous letters on tho occasion, and the print shops were not as now loaded with grotesque, and revolting pic? tures and designs for tho ludicrous use to which tue day is now devoted. It is a matter well known that this custom of sending cheap valentines is much increasing from year to year, and where it will end no one has, we be? lieve, attempted to piedict. The New York Times a day or two since stated that ono large firm in that city manufactured this year 2,591, &?? valentines, ranging in price from three cents to $50-the aggregate value being $317, 167. The postoffice returns show that Lu 1862 the whole number of valentines sent through the New York city postoffice was 21,260. while last year it was 86,218. The valentinas de? spatched are generally of the cheap kind, though manufacturers tell of some being made to order at a cost of $500 each. The name of the day is derived, it is well known, from Valentine, a holy priest of Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in tho persecution under Claudius LT., in the third century. He was apprehended and sent by the Emperor to the Prefect of | Borne, who, on finding all his efforts to make him renounce his faith ineffectual, commanded him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards beheaded on the 14th of February. Misson, a learned traveller of the early part of tho last century, gives a correct account of j the principal ceremonial of the day : "On the evo of St. Valentine's Day," says he, "the young folks in England and Scotland, by a very ancient custom, celebrate a lime fes? tival. An equal number of maids and bachel? ors get together; they write their true or some feigned names upon separate billets, which they roll up and draw by way of lots, the maids tak? ing the men's billets, and the men the maid's, so that each of the young men lights upon a girl that he calls his caleatine, and each of the Sirls upon a young man, whom she calls hers, y this means each has two valentines; but the man sticks faster to the valentine that has fallen to him than to the valentine to whom he has fallon. Fortune having thus divided the company into so many couples, the .valentines give balls and treats to their mistresses, wear their billets several days upon their bosoms or sleeves, and this little sport often ends in love." The origin of these peculiar observances of | St. Valentine's Day is a matter of some obscu? rity. The Saint himself seems to have had nothing to do wich the matter beyond the ac? cident of his day being used for the purpose. Mr. Douce, in his illustrations of Shakspeare, says: "It was the practice in ancient Rome, during a great part ot the month of February, to cele? brate the Luperca Lia, wbi jh were feasts in honor of Pan and Juno, whence the latter deity was named Februata, Februalis, and Februlla. "On this occasion, amidst a variety of cere? monies, the names ot young women were put into a box, from which they were drawn by the men, as chance directed. The pastors of the early Christian Church, who, by every possible meanB, endeavored to eradicate tbe vestiges ot Pagan superstitious, and chiefly by some com? mutation of their forms, Substituten, in the present instance the names of particular saints instead of those of the women, and as tho festival of Lnpercalia had commenced about the middle of February, they appear to have chosen St. Valentine's Day for celebrating tho new feast, because it occurred nearly nt the same time. * * * * * It would seem, however, that it was utterly im? possible to extirpate altogether any ceremony to hich the common people had been much accustomed-a fact which it were easy to prove in tracing tho origin ot various other popular superstitions-and accordingly the outline of the ancient ceremonies was observod, but modified by some adaptation to the Christian system, lt is reasonable to suppose that the abovo practice of choosing ms los would grad? ually become reciprocal' in the sexes, and that all persons so chosen would bo called Valen? tines from the day on which the ceremony took place." Others would derive tho love-makng pr?c? ticos of the day from the ancient tradition that the birds on this day choose their mutes; cer? tainly a pretty and appropriate, if not a well founded derivation. The tuneful choir in amorous strain i Accost their feathered loves; While each fond mate, with equal pi uns, The tender suit approves. With cheerful hop from spray to spray, They sport along the meads In social bliss together stray, Where love or fancy leads. A DISTINGUISHED DIVINE'S OPINION OF ABD?L.-The venerable and learned Dr. Lovick Pierce, the Nestor of Methodism in the South (whose recent visit to Charleston wai a source of so much gratification to the Methodists ol! our city), has, in reply to a letter written to him by a friend, disclaimed any bolief in or sympathy with the startling doctrines so plaus? ibly and so ably promulgated in a recent pub? lication called Ariel, in relation to the original creation of man, and the status of the African. He Bays : "I believe Adam was a real man, just as I am; that Eve was a real woman, just as my mo? ther was. I believe in tho unity of '.ho human race-do not believe there was but one original. Sarentago of all humanity. I believe the ?nci ental mention of tho fact by St. Paul, that of one blood God had made all the nations of men, ?cc., was to the end that original truth might bo transmitted to all men, in all nations, throughout all time-that whatever typo or Sbase of humanity God might see good to pro uce, still they wore all of ono stock, which is meant by one blood." AN INCENDIARY ; TTEMPT FRUSTRATED. Among the cases brouKht before his Honor the Mayor yesterday morning was that of a negro named James Evans, who was charged with attempting to blow up the Phoenix Steam Fire Engine. Tho attempt was made on Sunday night, and but for ita accidental discovery would have resulted in an extensive conflagra? tion. One of tho liirectors, while returning from church, was attracted by a puffing sound in tho Pheonix House, and, on repairing to the spot found thc door open and the engine under a lull head of steam. He immediately extin? guished the fire in the furnace, but found no one on the premises who could give any reason for the s tr ange occurrence. The facts were re? ported to the President, Mr. George Tupper, and upon investigation, it appeared that the negro in question had broken open the door and kindled tho Are, having (as he says; heard au alarm. None of the members frequent the engine houso on Sunday, and but for the acci? dental presence of the director, the engine would have been destroyed. Evans has been turned over to a magistrate for prosecution. HOTEL ARRIVALS.-Mills house-Jacob Otto lengui, city; C. C. Pritchard, Augusta; J. C. Francia, Jr., Augusta; Wm. Helme, Philadel? phia; Wm.

The case of Rittenhouse, Font & Co. vs. Louis Kendor, was continued to the adjourn? ment of the court. THE DIGNITY OF LABOE.-A correspondent from one of the middle districts of the State writes: * * * "Tour article 'Labor ia Honorable' you ought to print in gold, and keep in for six months. Either you have been through the country yourselves, or have good correspondents. The negro is trifling and worthless. Nothing better could be expected. But, unfortunately, many of the white men hereabout are but little better. This is strong Language, but the statement can easily be substantiated. You say 'Labor is Honorable.? Of course it is, but then you see it is very in? convenient to the lazy white men. You may nee, any day, families with three or four sons who, before emancipation, ivere wealthy but now poor. Each ul these three or lour young gen tlemen has his horse, and comes to the vil? lage, where he has nothing whatever to do, or to gatherings in the country, where he meeta others equally idle and thriftless with himself. The negroes on the plantation do nothing-the three horses must be f 3d, and their three ri? ders likewise; and where is it all to como from ? And this is by no means au exceptional case. Again, almost overy negro who had somo land to work for himself lived well last year, and has made cor.; enough to feed himself and family until next harvest, whereas, nearly all the negroes who worked for wages, or aro on ?hares for the white man, have nothing, i hey are crowding into townB ind villages. Lf you isk a negro, 'who do you work for this year ? he will tell you, "I gotnothing lastyear, boss, io I am knocking round for jobs, cutting wood, etc.," otc. It is of course impossible to (brm an idea how many negroos pureuo this course, and withhold their labor from the cul? tivation of the Boil; "certainly not leas than fifty thousand in South Carolina-material for the jail, tho penitentiary, and the gallows.''
