THE PIONEER CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY.-The members of this association are requested to attend an extra meeting, nhich will be held this evening. Business o' importance will be transacted, and a punctual attendance is de? sired. , RELIGIOUS.-The hoavy rain of yesterday caused the different churches to be but thinly attended. At the Unitarian Church, the Rev. F. A. Farley, D. D., from Brooklyn, officiated both morning and evening. The high reputa * tioaofDr. Farley would have induced a full congregation but for the threatening weather. THE YOUNO MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. The religions services which were to have been held last night before this association, were postponed for one week on account of the in? clemency of the weather and the indisposition of Dr. Dana, who was suffering under a severe attack of neuralgia. A PROHIBITION REMOVED.- Mayor Cogswell yesterday rescinded the order compelling the hotel barrooms to be closed on Sunday, and ?the guests of the different caravansaries were enabled to procure their usual forty drops without any restrictions. A KEW LIGHT.-The main entrance to the Mansion House has been further improved by the addition of two new lights, with the name "Mansion House" emblazoned on each. They are not only ornaments to the house, but illumine a considerable portion of Broad-street that by night was heretofore black as Erebus. ACC?DENT ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. About half-past 12 o'clock on Sunday morning, the down Columbia train ran off the track at a place called Pake Swamp, near Reeves* Station. Five cars, loaded with cotton and corn, were thrown from the track. No person was injured, and the passing trains were detained but a short time. The accident was occasioned by a bro *? ken rail. A BOLD ROBBERY.-A few nights since the office of Messrs. Alonzo J. White ec Son, on East Bay, was entered by some evil-disposed person and robbed of an overcoat and sundry articles of office furniture. The thief succeed? ed in breaking a pane of glass in the rear door and drawing the bolts that barred ingress. The premises have been since secured and the detectives notified of the occurrence. APOTHECARIES.-In the proceedings of Coun? cil, published in last Saturday's issue, the bill denning certain duties of apothecaries received its third reading, but did not pass in conse? quence of a motion being made to lay it over to the next regular meeting, so as to afford those interested in it an opportunity of reading it i ' over before it was passed and its title changed < to an ordinance. -1- 1 ARREST OP A DEL?GATE.-Frank Arnim, a ? white delegato 'to the convention from Edge- ? field, was arrested a few days lince by the United States Marshal for fraud and embezzle? ment of government funds, and is <*now con? fined in the jail. The charges were prefered against Arnim while in the convention, but his position prevented his arrest at that time. He has since been nominated for the State Legis? lature by the Republican party, but neither his post nor prospective honors could save bim from the clutches of the law. The case will be tried before the United States Court. ?4 OPENING OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.-The two weeks Easter vacation expired on Saturday, and the different schools will be reopened this morning. The teachers and scholars have been invigorated in both body and mind by the holi? day. Under the present admirable manage? ment of the public schools the greatest sym? pathy exists between the pupil and teacher. The schools are now crowded to their utmost capacity, but the result of the last examina? tion will doubtless induce a number of applica? tions, and a few more may be admitted. THE WORKHOUSE.-Since this building has been reassigned to its old use, the number of boarders has constantly increased. It was wisely determined that tho confinement would not be a sufficient punishment, and that the labor of the offenders must be made profitable. A portion of the inmates era .', stones, which are employed to macadamize the streets; others turn the hand-mills and grind the corn used by the city. The latter employment has proved to be so profitable, that Mr. Foolnot, the keeper of the house, has advertised to grind corn for low rates of toll. The mills used are the old-fashioned country mills, 'with an upper and nether stone, the former being turn? ed by a long wooden handle, which is fastened to the stone and revolves in a socket in a beam overhead. DISTRICT COURT-HON. GEO. W. LOGAN PRESIDING.-Jury number two was assigned to duty, and the following cases tried : The State vs. Jo Robertson ahas Dick ' Wright-Larceny. T. B.

Though fully a week distant the different com? panies are. already nerving themselves for the contest ; new members have been admitted, and the machines put in perfect order. The firemen are, however, not the only class in;the community that are interested in this parade. The ornaments and decorations used on the engines have been always furnished by the fair sex, and there is a generous emulation as to which machine will be the most tastefully f ornamented. The anniversary of the Savannah Depart* ment occurs on the first of May, and though the Charleston firemen may not be favored with a visit, yet they are determined to show their Savannah brethren the strength of their muscle. Delegations from several companies ?rill visit Savannah with the Palmetto and Young America steam engines. The Forest City firemen have made extensive preparations for their parade, and a good time is expected. DEATH OF HOBEST THURSTON. ESQ.-We are pained to announce the demise of Mr. Robert Thurston, for a number of years the able and efficient President of the Charleston Gas Com? pany. He has been taken away from us in his prime, when bia career of usefulness seemed but fairly commenced, but his talents and experi? ence had already caused his advancement to the responsible position he held at the time of his death, and rendered him one of the promi? nent men in our business community. His loss will be severely felt, not only by his be? reaved family, but by the large circle of his friends and acquaintances. In addition to many offices of trust and responsibility, Mr. Thurston also held the position of Worshipful Master of Franklin Lodge, No. 76. The funeral obsequies will take place at St. Luke's Church at eleven o'clock this forenoon. GERMANY AND THE SOUTH.-Our German citi? zens ?will be glad to learn that the enterprising merchants of Baltimore have established a Une of steamers to run between that city and Bremen via Southampton-a steamer leaving each of the two former points on the 1st of every month, and Southampton on the ?th of every month. The price of passage to Bre? men, London, Havre and Southampton is only $90 for the cabin and $30 for the steerage. The vessels are of 2500 tons burthen, under the command of experienced German captainsi and in all respects fitted for tho important part they are destined to perform in promoting the prosperity of the South through the large Ger? man immigration which has begun to flow hitherward. Those who have friends in the Fatherland in less than twenty days can now clasp them once more in arms. Whether it be to take a trip home or bring relatives to the New World, the facilities afforded by this new line are unsur? passed. It is to the interest of the South that the press generally shall make these facts known. We need sturdy German agriculturists and mechanics everywhere; we shall welcome them warmly, and we should encourage every effort to cause their immigration, especially when it is effected through our noble fellow citizens of Baltimore. The agents of the line there, who may be addressed upon the subject, and who will be found courteous and enterprising, are Messrs. A. Schumacher & Co., No. 9 South Charles street. The Charleston agents are Messrs. Mordecai & Co. THE BALTIMORE STEAMSHIP LIKE.-The sea route from this city to Baltimore has always enjoyed a considerable share of popularity, the shortness of the ocean travel from Charles, ton Bar to the Capes of Virginia being one of its prominent recommendations to those who 8nffer from the freaks of old Neptune. It af? fords us gratification to say that this line, possessing so many advantages, both as"a pas? senger and freight conveyance, is being placed on the best footing by the enterprise of Messrs. Mordecai & Co., who are the agents in Baltimore, and who? hi connection with Messrs. Courtenay & Trenholm, represent the ships in this city. For a year past the line has been composed of the steamships Falcon and Sea Gull, both superior propeller ships, which have run with the greatest success and regularity. As a proof of their strength the safe passage of the Sea Gull after having lost her rudder through several days of terrific storm, a full account of which was given a few days sineo in THE NEWS, may be considered conclusive. These boats have, on all occa? sions, executed their work with rapidity and safety, and the officers who have charge, say or the Sea Gull, Captain N. P. Dutton, the Falcon, Captain J. D. Horsey, and the Mary? land, Captain E. C. Reed (formerly of the Falcon), form a trio of shipmasters who could hardly be excelled in competency for their du? ties. The enterprising agents of these vessels, with an earnest desire to accommodate the increasing trade on the route, are about adding the steamship Maryland, which vessel is a large carrier, of good speed, and which bas lately been placed in elegant order. She will Boon take her place with the other ships. The disposition of Southerners not to go beyond Baltimore for purposes of trade will bring more prominently forward the advantages of this brie, the business of which must largely grow as the rapidly increasing trade of that city developes itself. The Hon. M. C. Morde? cai, the senior of the firm (formerly of this city), who hi now a resident of Baltimore, feels an especial interest in making this route a general favorite, and bis well known mercan? tile sagacity will, we feel assured, speedily accomplish this result. HEAVY RAINS AND THREATENED FRESHETS. Telegraphic dispatches from North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and other States indicate the breadth and extent of the great rain storm that has prevailed during the*last week. In South Carolina our exchanges inform ne that freshets are expected on all the large rivers. The Congaree, in the language of the Phoenix, "is booming again, and yesterday was within a iew feet of the top of the old piers, completely stopping all trav9l by the usual route." The Camden Journal states that the Wateree has also "overflowed its banks, and all the low lands are covered with water. The water is still rising. Farming operations have been suspended and the ground is so saturated with water that several days of fair weather will be required to put the soil in a proper condition to receive the seed. This, of course, will throw the farm? ers considerably behind hand.'' What may be the effect upon the crops can? not well be foretold, bnt it appears as if our agricultural community were being tried in the furnace of affliction, and all their patience,skill and resources will be taxed to the utmost to conquer in a death struggle with what seems to be perverse and relentless nature. The learned in chronology tell us that the forty lays of the flood were between the 17th of March and the 2G h of April, and that during that period m all timas "ye rains doe contin? ually fall upon ye earth." It is not our pur? pose to discuss the merits of this statement, but the heavy waterfalls of the past few days would certainly seem to corroborate it. P. S.-Since writing the above we learn that by the wash ing away of a culvert near Strothers, on the Spa::tanlurg and Union Railroad, the travel has t een impeded; and by the sinking of one of the spans of the bridge across the Broad River at Alston, passengers on the Greenville Road are obliged to change cars at that point. Other accounts of damage done railroads by the heavy rains and freshets ure likely to reach us.

A Fool Deed. 3ECTAL HUED EE BT XEGEOES IX BARNWELL DIS? TRICT, 8. C.-AN OVERSEER KILLED BT PLAN? TATION HANDS. * One of the most brutal murders ever record? ed occurred on Wednesday last, in Barnwell District, which shows that the seed of Radical? ism, so thickly sown in thia State, is bearing fruit with a vengeance. We are indebted chiefly to the Savannah Republican for the fol? lowing particulars : It appears that on the day mentioned Mr. James Martin, the overseer on the plantation of William J. Lawton, Esq., near Allandale, Barnwell District, told one of the field bands to go to work and commence ploughing. To this the negro objected and a difficulty ensued, and the wife of the negro came up, and by vio? lent language further increased his ire, and he raised a heavy hoe that he had in his hand and attempted to strike the overseer on the head, but he managed to evade the blow. The negro then attempted to strike a second blow, but the overseer drew a pistol and shot him in the face, inflicting a slight wound. He then retired to his house, and for about half an hour all re? mained quiet. The negro, meanwhile, had been among his fellows, inciting them to violence, and soon a crowd of them assembled around the overseer's house. Nearly all the negroes on the planta? tion were in the assembly, and the overseer, seeing that his Ufe was in danger, jumped out of a window and ran. Shots were fired after him, one of which wounded him. He still con? tinued to run, however, thus wounded and bleeding, and pursued by the savage crowd of brutes, now inflamed to a* perfect fury. After a chase of about a mila, the overseer reached the house of Mrs. Mallod, whose husband was ab? sent at the time. He implored her to take him in and shelter him from the yelling pursuers, who were seeking his life, which she did most willingly. Then she took her stand outside the door, and for more than an hour held the murderers at bay, resisting all their efforts to effect an entrance, and refusing to accede to their demand to give up their victim. They strove to get her away, but she struggled nobly, heroically maintaining her position, and receiving many bruises at their hands. Finding that they could not intimidate this courageous lady, the foremost of them broke in the window'of the house, and they were quickly followed by others, and the wounded man inside soon fell a victim to their savage fury. Shots were fired at bim, and eleven buckshot entered his breast. While he lay upon the floor, in the agonies of death, negro women came up and beat him with sticks, and some of the worst among them declared that thev would not leave without a piece of his flesh to carry home with them. A more brutal or diabolical murder has per? haps never been committed, and those who perpetrated the bloody deed, while in the act of executing their horrid purpose, acted more like demons let loose from Pandemonium than anything in the semblance of humanity. While engaged in their murderous work they were frequently heard to cry out that the Radicals would protect them-thus showing that the responsibility for the terrible death of this poor man rests with those who have scattered broadcast throngh the South the seeds of bloodshed and disorder. The murdered man came from Southwestern Georgia. He was a good overseer, and an ex? cellent man in every respect. There were thirty-one negroes engaged in the affair, of whom fifteen of the men have been arrested, and are now held in confinement. Low SCNDAT. AT THE CHAFEL.-At the Ca? thedral Chapel on yesterday morning, at eight o'clock Mass, Sight Reverend Bishop Lynch administered confirmation to seventy-six per? sons, five of whom were adults. The children have been undergoing a thorough course of instruction for several weeks past by Reverend Father Quigiey, pastor of the Chapel. It was a grand spectacle to the beholders to see more than forty young ladies attired in snow white robes, as they proceeded along Queen-street from the Academy of the Sisters of Mercy to the Cathedral Chapel in rank and tile-soldiers of Christ-under the leadership of the good Sisters. Had the weather been more propitious nothing on earth could have added to the beauty of the scene. Before administering confirmation Bishop Lynch addressed the children a briof but most appropriate exhortation, reminding them that now they were to be admitted in tho sacred phalanx of Christ, to receive strength and pow? er and grace to fight the good fight, to do bat? tle by word and example in His sacred causa for His holy kingdom. In the evening vespers were sung, and Bishop Lynch again addressed the congregation on the subject of confirmation. At the end of his discourse, the children made a renewal of their baptismal vows. The scene was a most solemn and impressive one, and will remain indelibly impressed for many years on the minds of those who participated. HOTEL ARRIVALS.-Charleston Hotel-Cap? tain John W.
