At Eishopville, for three clays ending April 1, the registration was: colored 18 and whites 2. WARD NO. 3.- To-day and Monday are still before you. Register every man.

The manner in which they are to be used, and the restrictions under which they are issued, have already been explained in the NEWS. QUIET.-La?t night was particularly quiet, and though tlc different hotels showed good lists of arrivals, the popular establishment in Broad-street, kept by Mayor Cogswell, was slimly attended. Tho police pickets reported nothing unusual, and from the Ashley to tho Cooper the city was in a slate of moral quies? cence. MAJOR'S COURT.-This tribunal was closed yesterday in consequence of the death of Al? derman Courtenay, and no business was trans? acted in any of the public offices until ofter 12 M. A number of prisoners who had been arrested for sundry misdemeanors W6re conse? quently compelled to remain in "durance vile" until this morning, when they will have a hearing before his Honor the Mayor and re? ceive the reward for their misdeods. WARD NO. 4.-From 9 A. M. to 3 P. M_.-ix hours-is all the time you have. Do not be afraid of waiting in tho crowd. It is botter to wait for registration than to wait forever to vote. SARGENT, THE ILLUSIONIST.- -It must not be forgotten that to-night is positively the last of Sargent's stay. Those who have neglected to pay him a visit should avail themselves of this opportunity. Professor Sargent will give a matinee this afternoon at 3 P. M., at which ho will gi7e a present to every child in the house. When it is considered that the tickets have been placed at the low price of thirty-five -cents, this generosity appears wonderful. At night the entertainment will commence at 8 P.M. Reserved seats fifty cents. Prizes will also be distributed at night, and a small for? tune can be obtained perchance by securing a tickets._ WARD No. 5_Can you not do more? Is not there one more man you con register? This is your last opportunity. REGISTRATION.-Notwithstanding the gloomy weather there was a good attendance at the different precincts yesterday, and the number registered was larger than on any of the pre? ceding days. In the United States Court the rights of citizenship were conferred on thir. teen white men, who will doubtless improve the golden hours and register themselves as voters to-day. The following is tho result at the different precincts yesterday: JTIiites. Colored.

Fail not. _ A DULL DAY.-Yesterday was decidedly the dullest of the season, dork, rainy, and dis? agreeable. April was for the nonce trans? formed from a gay and blooming maiden to a weeping Naiad, her proverbial showers pre? dominating decidedly over her smiles. Tho dust was most effectually laid, and tho new asphaltum pavements on Meeting-street re? ceived a thorough washing. As the public .offices were closed during the morning hours, but little business was transacted in Broad street. Along the wharves some activity was displayed, as, notwithstanding the depressing influences of the weather, cotton was reported .still on the rise, and the faces of the lucky speculators were in striking contrast to the general gloom. In other portions of the city the rain and tho muddy streets wore the only topics of conversation. The boot-blacks, how? ever, were in their glory, and reaped a rich harvest of nickle from their numerous cus? tomers. WARD No. 7.-March to the polls this morn? ing. "Do your best. Show what your Word can accomplish for oar dear old city. THE FIRST SHTPJIENT OF SOUTH CAROLINA PHOSPHATE.-The valuable beds of phosphate on the Ashley River, near this city, will soon enter into the trade of the country, and pro? mises to be the basis of a business which will be large and valuable. Tho parties interested have been for some time making arrangements, and have been constructing wharves and dig? ging and collecting the vJaablo deposit. There are at present considerable amounts ready for shipment, and two schooners, tho Anna Burton and T. G. Smith, left this city yesterday in tow of the steamer Pilot Boy, Captain Thomas Payne acting os pilot on tho occasion, and wero taken safely to one of the wharves on the western banks of the stream, about fifteen miles from town, where they will both be speedily freighted for Philadel? phia. The channel of the river is sufficiently deep for all purposes, and vessels of a suitable size will find no difficulty in being towed directly to /che wharves. WARD NO. 8-Charleston is in peril. Regis' lier every man. DEATH OF VALUABLE OTLZESB.-OUT com munity yesterday suffered the loss of two of its old residents, who, without having been promi? nent as public men, hove passed through life with honorable reputations and unblemished names. The late James H. Ladson bad reached the full period allotted to man, having passed three score years and tea. was an excellent spe? cimen of thc old Carolina geutleman, pure in character, and higi:-toned in bis dealings, and was for many years the head of the house of James H. Ladson & Co., now represented by the firm of W. C. Bee A: Co. This firm carried on an extensive and lucrativo business a3 rice and cotton factors. He was also a bank director, and for most of his life a leading member of St. Michael's Episcopal Church of our city, I where he stood foremost in christian virtues and active benevolouce. The late M. D. Strobel was also reared as a merchant, and much of his early life was spent in the large cotton house of John Robinson & Son. Subsequently he engaged in banking, and at the commencement of the war was cashier of the Farmers' and Exchange Bank. His high integrity and strict fidelity in every position that he was called upou to fill won him many and firm friends. Mr. Strobel had reached middle life, being about fifty years of age. OBSEQUIES OF ALDERMAN S. G. COUBTEXAV. The varions societies of which Mr. Courtenay was a member, met at his late residence yes? terday morning to join thc funeral cortege. The Bad procession left the house a few miu utea before 10 o'clock, and proooeded through Broad, Meeting and Wentworth streets, to Grace Church. It was headed by the chief and assistants of the fire department, followed by the different companies according to the date of their organization, with the exception of the ?Etna, whose members walked immediately j behind the hearse. Next to the firemen came a largo number of citizens, and then the hearse ! attended by the pall bearers, eight in number, who were chosen from tho difleront societies as follows : R. M. Alexander, E. F. Swcegan, E. Willis, John P. O'Neill, M. P. O'Connor, E. W. Marshall, E. McConkey, and A. T. Smythe. After the hearse came a long line of carriages with the family of the deceased, tho Mayor and Aldermen and citizens. On arriving at thc church, seats were assigned the family and the Mayor and Aldcrmeu in front of the pulpit, the pall-bearers hoing near tho body, while the firemen and the membeis of the different so? cieties filed to the right and left of the aisles. Thc funeral services were read by tho Rev. C# P. Gadsden, thc Rev. C. C. Piuckney, tho rector of tho church, being absent at the consecra? tion of Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia. Tho church was crowded with tho sorrowing friends of tho deceased. At thc conclusion of the ser? vices, in which the '.hoir participated, the body waB borne back to the hearse and taken to the family burying ground at Magnolia for inter? ment. The day was rainy and disagreeable, but the very largo attendance at tho funeral testified the community's sense of the loss it had sustained. APBXL FASHIONS.-The new and monstrous panier hoops have made their appearance in New York. Tho Commercial says : "Walking dresses are worn just escaping the ground at the hem, with cither ono skirt trimmed by wide bias bands of like fabric, in a different shade of the dress color, representing a tunic open in front, or more fashionably, with an upper skirt variously festooned abour. the body. The odious pan ?er fashion of old court styles of the last century has boen revived, which causes the dress to puff out on the hips in un? couth drapery, v, th as much grace as belongs to a washerwoman's tucked-np petticoat. To give this inelegant effect, a circular arrange? ment, full of whalebones, is worn round the waist, and the upper skirl is looped to thc belt behind or on thc hips. The only thing that can be alleged in favor of this ungainly device, is that by contrast with its puffed drapery the waist appears small. To snit the cut of the dress-skirt, hoops aro worn of a shape slightly flattened at the sides, extending behind to cany out tho fullness ot tho robe, which is entirely in the back. A hoop, two and and a quarter yards round at the lowest spring, by this means gives no largor appearance to the dress than a round hoop, a half yard smaller, the width being thrown in the train, where it is needed. Waists a revers are tho general style, and the polonais is often made thus, and sleeve? less over a dress of pale striped silk. A loose coat sleeve is the only one seen in fashionable dresses."_ SCHOOL EXAMINATION.-The examination of | the school of Mrs. Dr. Piuckney, in Aiken's Row, which has been progressing tor several days past, closed yesterday with the examina? tion of the senior class. Their proficiency in the various branches of their academic course was amply exemplified by a long, thorough and exhaustivo examination. In geology particularly they did exceeding well. Professor Francis S. Holmes, of tho Charles? ton Colloge, who is the best authority we have on such subjects in Charleston, was present, and listened with attention and evident pleas? ure to the two hours' review of the text book on geology, through which Mrs. Pinckney carried her scholars with a show of justifiable pride in the knowledge wnich they displayed, and ho declared himself astonished at the result of the examination, which, he said, would have done credit to a graduating class at college. The exorcise in geology was but an example of the manner in which the whole examination was conducted, proving clearly that tho object aimed at and obtained by Mrs. Pinckney and her able assistants, was thoroughness rather than show. Thc senior class was the last of seven largo classes that were examined, and, when we reflect upon the amount of work per? formed by the principal of the school in this arduous conclusion of a laborious session, wo cannot but consider that she deserves at least as much praise as the young ladies who show? ed thomselves so worthy of her efforts. The teachers of the school are: Principal, Mrs. Dr. Pinckney. Assistants, Rev. C. P. Gadsden, Belles Lettree; Professor Dubos, French;, Miss Tucker and Miss Pinckney, English branches. "WHOSO' GIVETH TO THE POOB LEXDETH TO THE LOBD."-To-night's performance in the theatre has been 6et apart aa a benefit to somo poor orphans of Confederate soldiers who are now cared for by tho Directors of the Widows' and Orphans' Home. Tho ladies in chargo of this institution have been able to relieve many of the destitute, but they are prevented from accomplishing all they would desire by tho scantiness of their means. Tho benefit pro? posed will, it is hoped, enable them to cany out tho cherished plan of educating the orphans now in their charge. Wo trust that the theatre will bo well attended to-night. Thc money spent for a ticket will be a lasting bene? fit to tho children of those who gave their lives for their country.

It is so called from tho blessing and distribution of palms, which takes placo on that day in every Catholic Church throughout tho world. The ceremony precedes the High Mass, and during the reading of tho Gospel relating the passion of Christ, the attendants hold the palra branches in their hands as typical of the victory which is commemorated on Easter Sim day. Tho custom of blessing palm branches bas been observed in the church from time immemorial, also in comuiomoration of the Jews, who, in going forth to meet our Saviour, strewed tho road whereon ho walked with their garments, olive branches, &c. Palm Sunday is tho beginning of Holy Week, and the services of tho Catholic Church will be as usual on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, when the office of the Tene brae (darkness) is chanted. This consists of the matins and lauds for the following morn? ings, which it is customary to recite over night. On Holy Thursday the institution of the Lord's Supper is commemorated, and in some places tho priests wash tho feet of twelve poor persons, in imitation of tho act performed by Jesus in washing the feet of tho Apostles. It is done by the Pope to thirteen priests. A consecrated host is carried by a procession to some temporary altar prepared for it, and kept there until the next day, when the priests carry it back to the main altar and consume it. There is no mass on Good Friday, and the altar is stripppd of all its or? naments. The ceremony of kissing the cross is perforr.ed on this day by all the faithful On Saturday tho services begin by tho bless? ing of fire and water, and of the paschal can? dle, an emblem of Jesus Christ, which is lighted in token of His resurrection, and burns during part of the mass from Easter until tho Ascension. Friday, the anniversary of the crucifixion of the Saviour, is called "Good Friday" in allusion to the benefits conferred by his death. The Saxons named it "Long Friday" because of the protracted religious services on that day; and the Germans term it Stiller Freitag, on account of the solemn eilonce observed in tho churches, or Char Freitag, from an antiquated word signifying penitence. During the first two or three centuries of christianity it was called tho "Pasch," becauso then Christ, tho Paschal Lamb, was slain. In thc Episcopal Church thc services during the Passion week are characterized by moro thau ordinary solemnity. There is a special "Gospel" appointed for each day, embracing the sacred record of all the events incident upon the Saviour's passion. The penitential psalms are usually introduced, more or less, into the services, and their whole character is made to partake of a deeply penitential tone. The week ends with tho "Easter Even" Berrico, which tells of the doep mystery of the rest of the Saviour's body in the tomb in anticipation of tho Resurrection. This week, of course, concludes the season of Lent, which will be succeeded by tho groat festival of Easter, when, in keeping with the joyful teachings of the day, all the religious services aro made to partake of thc mos ', j abilant character.

On wheat aud oats the resulta are very satisfactory." D. A. WARNOCK. Beech Branch, S.

Everything tho MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE was tried on did well. Cotton stood thc cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green, and growed finely; has beat Peruvian Guano in his neighborhood. Believes it to be the BEST Manure now lu UBC." E. R. LILES, Lilesvllle, Anson County, N. C., re? ports: "As compared with ^Peruvian Guano and Baugh's Super-Phosphate, tho result was decidedly iu favor of MAPES' bUPHER-PHOSPHATE ; attributed, bc joud doubt, ta the fi .ct that the ravages of the rust were not, by a marked difference, so severe whore it was applied as whore the other manures were." JAMES MCMEEBUN, /.lstoo, S. C., reports: "Used a ton of Peruvian, and found the result but one half as compared with tliove from MAPES' SUPER-PHOsPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, wita clay subsoil.

MAPES' SUPfcR-PHOa PU ATI : produced lou pounds per acre more Cotton than Rhodes' bupcr-Pliosphatc, and 50 pounds per acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Some quan? tity of each. 150 pounds, used to the acre, cultivated in the same manner. MAPEs' SUPER-PHOSPHATE more than doubled the yield of Cotton." R. b. YENNING, Christ Church Parish, S.
