HON. MRS. 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.

The case of Rittenhouse, Font & Co. vs.

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.''
