Delegates to Conven? tion-Joseph T. Dill, W. W. Lawton. THE SISTERS OF MERCY in charge of the .Catholic Male Orphan Asylum tender their thanks to Mr. E. F. Sweegan for the donation of the stove which was raffled at Messrs. Cameron .& Barkley's on Saturday last. The Sisters also gratefully acknowledge the receipt of one piece of cloth from Mr. Charles Baker, of Philadel? phia, for clothing for the orphan boys. DECORATING THE GRAVES.-The ladies of j Savannah and Columbus, and other Georgia cities, are making arrangements for the decora- j toa of the graves of the Confederate soldiers in the cemeteries of those cities. As the date on which this ceremony is usually performed .April 26-falls this year on Sunday, some dis? cussion has arisen as to whether its observ? ance should be postponed. A CITY BAKEHOUSE.-The proposition has -been made before the City Council to establish a city bakehouse for the benefit of the several institutions dependent upon the public funds. The idea . is unquestionably a good one. The culinary department should be subject to as much system as any other department, and .under a superintendent rightly administer? ing its affairs, the saving to the city would be quickly appreciated. Every housewife knows the difference in" her favor between the bread she makes and that which she buys; and the .same principle applied on the gi ander scale required by the public institutions, would doubtless verify individual experience. AN OLD ROOKERY DESTROYED.-Among the many improvements inaugurated under the .new regime, not the least gratifying is the de? molition pf sundry old buildings which have for years been in a toppling condition. One of -these in Montague-street, near Coming, was yesterday demolished. For some time past it had leaned toward the street in a dangerous manner, and passers-by were compelled to make a wide detour to avoid the risk of an ac? cident. It was long used as a meeting-house j by the colored people, but was abandoned on account of its insecurity. It is now level with j the ground, and if the same process were ap plied to the adjoining buildings, the neighbor- j hood would be decidedly improved. j THE STORM.-Our "Walhalla correspondent says: "The county has been visited by --?ne of i ne severest rains that has been experienced for many years. All the bridges have been washed away, and some crops ruined. It is now raining again." Our Hamburg correspondent writes : "Last Thursday and Friday we bad a slight freshet, which did some damage to plantations in the country and to gardens in that town. Some houses were surrounded by water, which pre- j vented the inmates from leaving them. The highest point reached by the water at the * Augusta Bridge was twenty nine and a half .feet. On Saturday the river fell to nineteen .and a half feet, at which point it now stands."

MAYOR'S COURT.-In consequence of the j renovation now in progress al the Guardhouse, the court was held at the City Hall, and the unusual sight caused a large crowd to collect, j No business of any importance was transacted, I and the City Treasury did not receive many greenbacks. A colored woman, for swindling another and stealing clothes from her, was fined S30. Three white drunks were hued flo. and one colored, that was somewhat mitigated, wa: . fined only $5. A stray horse cost his Ofner S5, and two or three characters were referred to a magistrate. DISTRICT COURT-HON. GEORGE W.

A TAIL OF BLOOD.-We learn that while one of the street care was passing by the market yesterday, it ran over somebody's ''Old dog Tray." A crowd immediately assembled (who ever saw an apple-stand knocked over in Charleston without gathering a multitude?), and speculations were rife a8 to the name, iden? tity a-id pedigree of the suffering cur. One person of an economical turn of mind wondered whether the tax on his dorg-ship bad baen paid, and if not, suggested that the city rail? road should pay the same into the municipal coffers. In the midst of all this discussion, a drayman seized the mangled remains, which had just life enough left in them to feebly wag their ensanguined caudal extremity, and hus? tled them upon bis cart; whereupon an un? charitable freedman observed, with a knowing look at the drayman, " De nex time yer hear ob dat dog, jes' whistle right loud somewhere down in de market, and if yer don't see a bunch ob sassengers go wiggle-waggle, dis chile don't know de man who dribe dat keert. Ee-yah ! Ee-yahl Ee-yab!'^ FIB ST S HIP HE M FBOM THE ASHLEI PHOS? PHATE BEDS.-The first shipment of phosphate from the companys works, on Ashley River, was made yesterday by the schooners T. G. Smith and Anna Barton, which cleared from this port, carrying 800 tone. The headquar? ters of the company are at Ashley Ferry and Maryville, two plantations on the Ashley, and generally considered to be the centre of the basin which contains the marl. The arrange? ments for the largest development of the re Bonrces of tho locality are being rapidly per? fected. Two large steam washers, of forty horse power, are in process of construction, and when completed, they will enable those working the beds to turn out, it may be said, almost unlimited quantities of the phosphate. This department of labor is under the control of Mr. Nicholas, the agent of the patentee. These "marl beds" have evidently become quite an object of curiosity. Hundreds of Northern tourists have visited the spot, and nearly every week a score or more of new faces arrive for the purpose of "looking Tound."_ BILL or MOETALITT.-Return of deaths with? in the City of Charleston for the week ending April 18th, 1868.

To the Editors of the Haily News : Facts are stubborn things, which cannot be denied nor alterered, and the sooner sensible men come to this conclusion and wake up to a proper sense of their present situation, the better it will be for them and the prosperity of the country. Slavery has been abolished, and with it, in a great measure, the old system of agriculture. Hereafter planting or farming must be con? ducted on a much smaller scale, and it will re? quire, and must receive, strict personal atten? tion, if success is desired or looked for. Land bas boon made to produce very large crops by 1 careful personal attention, a wise system of | thorough under-draining, deep ploughing, a bountiful supply of fertilizers, with proper cultivation. That which bas been done by some men can be done by others, and to be successful, all these matters mast be strictly attended to, and if properly done, the business can be made profitable, tho land permanently improved and greatly enhanced in valuo. It is gratifying to know that there are some few Southern farmers who are alive to the pre? sent condition of affairs, and arc governing themselves accordingly. They plant less land, and in many instance3 more than double thc crops formerly made are realized. The March number of the Southern Cultivator, published m Athens, Ga., coutains an account of an ex? periment on sixteen acres of land, by David Dickson, of Sparta, Hancock county. Ga., on which he raised last year two good bags of clean cotton to the acre. On one portion he raised at the rate of G000 pounds, and on anoth? er, the next best, 5000 pounds seed cotton to th3 acre. Such results came from proper at? tention, good management, and a liberal use of j fertilizers. Stir your land well by deep ploughing, use fertilizers abundantly, drain the land freely all these matters properly attended to, will make the land fruitful and the situation heal? ths THOROUGH DRAINAGE.

WHOLESALE GBOCEBS IN BALTTMOBE-Those of our merchants who may desire to purchase their groceries or provisions in Baltimore, or to establish a commission business there, will find our advertisers, Messrs. Griffin. Brother & Co., No. 105 Lombard-street, happy to sup? ply their wants, and transact business on the most liberal terms. SADDLERY AND COACH MATERIALS.-Measr?. Edw. Jenkins & Sons are importers and deal? ers in saddlery and coach materials, at No. 180 Baltimore-street, Baltimore. Md. There are many dealers in tb ese articles throughout the State who would prefer to supply themselves with the same from a Baltimore house, and at the advantageous prices which Baltimore can ofier. We therefore take pleasure in calling the attention of the trade to this firm. CANNED FEESEBVXS, MEATS, FISH, OYSTERS AND PICKLES.- Numsen, Carroll & Co., of No. 18 Light-street, Baltimore, are already largely and favorably known to our merchants as the grand tycoons among the "preservers of their country." There ie scarcely an establishment in the country which does not contain upon its shelves more or lesa of their preparations, and we believe that the universal verdict ia that they are durable and good. The finn are likewise joint proprietors and eole agents for Borden's Condensed Milk, with? out which & cup of coffee is nowhere, and a nursing baby the mos: wretched being in exis? tence. We hope our merchants will continue to supply themselves with the classes of goods above named from this source, and feel well assured that the evidence of the past ia a suffi? cient guarantv of the future. READY-MADE CLOTHTNO FOR THE SOMHEB, Messrs. Macullar, Williams & Parker announce in our columns to-day, the opening of a stock of summer clothing at prices which place a summer suit within the reach of all. The ad? vantages of buying goods from this firm are : 1. That you can purchase nothing under the misrepresentation of clerks. The reputation of the house forbids it. 2. That the clothing ia made in a substantial, durable and fashion? able style by their own employees; the work being fully equal to any done at a merchant tailor's. 8. That their stock consists entirely of new gooda, made expressly for the coming season, and owing to its large variety and ad? mirable arrangement, as well as the skill and ex? perience of the salesmen, a good fit can readily be obtained; and 4. That the prices of the goods are marked down to a figure from which neither love nor money will cause a deviation. We cor? dially commend Mesara. Messrs. Macullar, Wil? hams & Parker to the public, and ask for their attractive catalogue careful examination.

At a meeting of the Board, held on the 15th mst, the following preamble sud resolutions were adopted : When those who have reached their season of pro? bation are gathered to their fathers, it is an event in the history of man which makps but h ttl o imp-es' sion. But when a man in the prime of life, ic the midst of his hopes, is suddenly cut down, surround? ed by all the endearments ot domestic Ute, with the prospect of great public usefulness before bim, it is an event which strikes deep into the human heart. It teaches us painfully the uncertainty of life. SAMUEL GILMAN COURTENAY, whom the Fire Department has ever regarded as an embodiment of | its repressntative spirit, is no more. Death has gath, ered manhood in all its vigor. Here truly he has been the King of Terrors, strewing his pathway with mourning. Sudden and unexpected was thy visita? tion, O Death. But alas! "We know when moons shall wane, When summer birds from far shall cross the sea, When autumn's hue shall tinge the golden gram. But who shall teach us when to look for thee." In the Fire Department, the death of our friend is Indeed lamented. They mourn the premature de? cease of one whose zeal for their welfare never fal? tered, and whose devotedness to their best Interest j can never be forgot'.en. Of him lt may be truly said, that all of the energies of his manhood were dedi? cated to tho service of his fellow-citizens. Identified with our Department from his early youth, it waa his practice to perform, in varied capacities, its ar duous duties wimcheerfulness. As President of one of its time-honored and efficient companies, and as Chief of the Department, he exhibited a knowledge, character and zeal which enhanced their welfare. Urged by an honorable ambition, whose light was dimmed by no sordid ray of envy, he was ever cour? teous, kind, and considerate of the feelings of others. Wo admired him as the polished gentlcmaa; a prompt compliance with the requisites of ussge and decorum ever dignified his deportment. Vi e valued him as a competent, zealous officer. We esteemed him as a niead, for we knew him well. We cannot enter that sacred home, where he was more sincerely cheri=hed and Ids loss will be more lecnly felt. It was there that his character shoue most radiantly and sweetly; that his spirit found de? lightful fellowship with the innocence ol children and the quiet loveliness of kindred affection. May they be solaced by the reflection that his death h.;s been appointed bv one who giveth aud who taketh away. Our sorrow is assuaged by the thought that what to our poor judgment seems a heavy visitation, proves frequently to be but the dark disguise which celestial benedictions often aseutne. Therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of our ex-Chief, SAM? UEL G. COURTENAY, the City of charleston has lost au accompUshed and useiul citizen; the Fire De? partment a fa thful adviser and valued friend. Resolved, That while we mourn the premature end of une so deservedly dear to us all, we yet cherish the remembrance ot Ms virtues, of hi- sincere and manly disposition. Resolved, That we respectfully tender our condo? lence and sympathy to his afflicted iamily. Resolved, That a blank pigc on our MiLUte Book be dedicated to his memory; that a copy of these preamble and rssolutions be "sent to his family, and published in the papers of this city. B. M.
