THE SCH?TZENFEST.-This jolly occasion, as - they say on handbills, "drew another full house" yesterday. The grounds were thronged with Germans, their families, guests, and citi - zens generally, and the mirth-provoking fan -..continued until every wrinkle in every corpo - rosi ty present was smoothed clean out. The . amount of lager punished was fearful, and yet . nota singlo specimen of intoxication was visi? ble to the naked eye. The shooting was kept np unremittingly, and three more prizes taken, ' leaving six to be contested for to-day. The . greased pole was one of the popular centres of - attraction, but BO far its oleaginous periphery . .has proved sn effective blockade to the prizes ~on the summit, All sorts of races were improvised, and the shouts of laughter with which the trials were .received made havoc among vest buttons and . suspenders. The dancing was highly enjoyed - and enjoyable. The music was admirable and inspiriting, sud many an old couple, who had years enough to be grand parents, "tripped ?.the light fantastic" with a genuine German - vehemence that was contagious. The crowning scenes of the "Feat" will .occur to-day. Everybody and bis wife are ex? pected, and. rare sport is anticipated. In addition to the amusements, the blind race for the bear will take place, prizes will be awarded, the new "King" will be installed with the usual ceremonies, speeches will be made ad libitum, songs s ung, sud the largest possible variety given to the enjoyment To those of our citizens who have not seen the Germans in their away-with-melancholy sport-to those who have a chronic east wind blowing through their constitution, or are - troubled in mind and purse-to those who would like to worry down forty drops of lager or swallow a mouthful of pure country air-we . s ay emphatically-go t THE MEMORIAL .

The first of a series of games betwen the Alert and Carolina Clubs will be played on the 16th. AU lovers of the game are invited to be present. DEDICATION OF THE AVERT PUBLIC SCHOOL. Pursuant to notice the above institution was formally opened yesterday afternoon. We have already given the public a description of the premises and the object for which they were erected. The audience was composed chiefly of colored persons, but there were also present Gen. B. E. Scott, Judge Bryan, Col. Willard, and a number of the officials connected with the school department of the Freedmen's Bu? reau. To General Scott is due the credit of having begun and completed the undertaking, which has added another to the handsome public institutions of the city. The exercises were under the -direction of Rev. F?li. Cardoza, and were commenced by the singing of a children's chorus. Selections from the Scriptures were then read by BOT. J. Adams (colored), aft-c: which prayer was offer? ed by Ber. M. Pease. Rev. Mr. Hicks, Pastor of the Dutch Re? formed Church, of Brooklyn, was then intro? duced, and delivered a strong, instructive, sensible and eloquent address. He said that he presumed he had been selected as the ora? tor of the occasion because he was a repre? sentative of the true and tried friends of the colored man in every section of this vast coun? try-not in a partisan sense, bat in the broad catholio humane idea that free? dom means nothing unless it is based upon education. The dedication of this school in the City of Charleston was an event big with promise, because it indicated the true line of progress and unfolded the correct and only method of restoration. School houses are the missionaries of freedom, and the ballot with? out the school would be a murderous and ter? rible bombshell fired indiscriminately and at random into society. A representative govern? ment presupposes popular education. Its per? manency depended upon general intelligence, and in the proportion that ignorance prevailed there waa positive danger to the government. Education is the cohesive power of a nation, but ignorance in the end would swamp a popu? lar government anywhere. Each man ie the only proper and safe guardian of his own rights, and no one could claim as personal rights things which conflict with and prevent the general welfare of the whole community, of which he is an integral part. Hence no rights, individual or national, can be long maintained where the masses are uneducated. Hence every attempt to establish liberty for an uneducated people has signally failed, and must fail to the end of time. Look at France 1 Who can compute the wealth of life that has been lavished by her patriots to secure national I freedom. And yet has she ever been free ? Can she be free? Never, so long as twelve millions of ber people are unable to read and write. So in America-ignorance is the dead rot of national progress. Yours, said the speaker, is a situation which, prior to the election of Abraham Lin? coln, was not contemplated as possible. It is a situation for which you have made no prepa? ration, and yet which requires experience and a degree of mental culture-a situation rioh in priceless blessings, bui full of dangers that may bring curses upon your heads in a single night. It would be unjust to the coun? try to you and to myself were we not to re? cognize the fact that your emancipation and elevation to citizenship was an event of fearful violence and of sudden result. This fact adds to the precariousness of your present status. Public sentiment is not to bi played with. It is something that must be educated before it oan be controlled-something that must be won to your side of the question, and, let me say to you, it can never be done by violence in a free country. In a little while the protection thrown around you by the Freedmen's Bureau will be removed. You will then be compelled to exert yourselves for subsistence among those who are opposed to you politically. Self interest should compel you to cultivate friend? ly relations with these people ; and to co-operate in all that tends to promote harmony, prosperity and progress. You are to look upon the man, not the politician; upon the citizen, not the partisan; upon the patriot, not the carpet-bagger; upon the American, not the negro; upon the domiciliated neighbor, not the predatory mischief-maker and street loafer who, having no visible mea is of support, preys upon the resources of the country. Form your children into line and march them to the school house; but let politics alone. Another reason why you should move to? gether is this, that the disabilities which have been thrown around the white people of the South will soon be removed, and their energy, endurance and fertility of resource will be more than a match for your inexperience. You may monopolize the labor, but they will ob? tain the ascendancy in the administration of public affaire. Your first duty, therefore, is to become intelligent and educated. , Until then, all the suffrage you can employ, a? the ballots you can cast in the great elections, will not be worth the snap of a finger to you. Your future no moro depends upou your right to vote than upon the incantations of a sorcerer. This is but a meagre abstract of the dis? course of Dr. Hicks. It was listened it with marked attention, and the views enunciated, startling as they occasionally must have been to some of the ''bright and shining lights" of the party, were enjoyable and suggestive. The children again sang, and the benedic? tion was ?hen pronounced. Italian Opera. THE CAROLINA PEDIA DONNA COMING TO CHARLESTON-DON PASQUALE AND EL BAR? BIERE. The season o? amusements seems to have bees bom again of sommer warmth and splen? dor, and the good folks have not had time to sound the depths of the pleasures of the before the notification is given that Charlestoi will for three days possess an Italian opera As a general thing, the operatic singers wh< have visited Charleston during the last years have not been fameux. There was usual calf-less tenor, corpulent soprano, wea zened contralto, and burly basso, but very of ?hem felt sufficient interest in their andiene? to do their very best. Charleston is a mer? village to those who have sung in the choruses at Paris, London or New York, and any howling or operatic evisceration was good enough us. This is not nattering bet true, and it is comfort to know that an operatic company i3 now coming, one member of which, at least, would find her greatest pleasure in the judicious plauae of a Carolina audience. Miss S. Isabel Mcculloch, the Prima Donna is a native of Columbia, at which plaoe she lived until the end of the war. She made her debut in New York with great success, and has since gained a highly creditable reputation grand and light operas in the Northern, East ern and Western cities. For some time she was attached to the well-known La Crang Brignoli troupe, and her fame has steadily creased. The two operas proposed to be given Charleston are "Il Barbiere" and "Don Pas quale." These operas are especially adapted parlor representation, and, with the exception of the choruses, which are not important either, will be given intact,-mise en scene re oitative and full costume. Miss Mcculloch has been warmly praised both operas, and is well supported by Sign Susini, whose rich mellow tone is well known us, as well as by Signor Orlandini, whose voice is a pure baritone, and who is one of the best Barbieri ever heard on the stage. The tenor Signor Boye, has a very sweet organ, and Bings with truth and taste. Signor Torriani, the Musioal Director, re? mained in South Carolina during the war, and ia well known in Columbia. The company have draws large houses in Pe tersburg, Norfolk and Richmond, and, as will be seen by the advertisement, will give their first representation to-night at the Mills House. 27 Barbiere will be performed, and the music-loving public may expect auoh a render ing of that immortal opera as has not often been seen in any Southern city. THE CHARLESTON TURNERS IN AUGUSTA. The delegation from the Charleston Turners whose intended visit to Augusta waa noticed in THE NEWS, left for that city on Sunday, and spent three days in pleasant and fraternal in tercoorse with their friends from the Father? land. The object of the visit was to reorganize the Turner Lodge in Augusta and to inangu rate the oincera. The delegation was met at the depot and the hospitalities of the city ex? tended; they were feasted and feted, and left with the conviction that Georgia is the Empire State and the Germans a great people. While in Augusta they were invited to visit the race course, where a barbecue had been prepared and after the inner man was refreshed speeches were made, grips exchanged, and thorough good fellowship established. The Turners in Augusta are rapidly increasing in numbers._ THE CATHOLIC FATS.-The ladies have been indefatigable in repairing breaches, and hiding from sight the effect of four nights of briak sales and big profits; bnt some of the tables are already rather bare, and the glory of the Fair must soon be on the wane. New objects of curiosity and speculation have, however, been brought in daily, and some of the most dainty dishes set before the public are still without a winner. At table No. 3 there is a fine water-color drawing, by a Charleston lady, and at each of the other tables there is some rich, rare object sighing for an owner The turkey salad, the soda, the raspberries and cream, have lost none of their attractions, and the blonde or brunette-our eyes were too dazzled to see which-wao sits at the original Jacob's Well, has found a muscular rival at the fireman's table. Claret punch is flowing at No. li, and hose has bees laid so that by suc? tion may be extinguished all internal fire. The firemen are bailo tin g bravely for the fire*, man's trumpet and suit, and one of the com? panies is rumored to be wry far ahead. Little, however, is said, as the mention of the name of the company referred to would lead to re? newed efforts on the part of emulating compa? nies. This is the time to put in the ballots, and if all the companies work hard and vote freely it is certain that somebody will win. On Wednesday night tie proprietors of the well known City Square Saloon presented a grand bowl of claret pundi to the Fair. It sold well and tasted well, ard was an excellent proof of the liberality and enterprise of the donors. The following was the list of prizes drawn last evening: Handsome fruit cake, D. A J. Sullivan; handsome cake, George Lindstedt; bookstand, W.B. Dingle; beautiful ornamented ham, T. C. Ryan; embroidered shirt, C. Olden berg; half dozen shirts, J. Dougherty; half dozen shirts, T. C.

In addition to the above, a very handsome silver cako basket, worth some sixty dollars, was presented to the Fair, and will be exhioit ed until sold on the table of Mrs. Ringold. The Executive Committee have very sensibly adopted a resolution that after eight o'clock P. M. no children will be allowed to "tote' grab-bags or raffle lists. The Mayoralty. To the Editors of the Daily News : A report having been circulated in certain quarters that Major E. Willis is favorably in? clined to the proposed Oi?y Freight Railway, and that it was advocated by him in Council) his friends deem it proper to state that the re? verse is the fact. He is now and always has been uniformly au opponent of this scheme, and at the last meet? ing of Council presented and supported the memorial against it. Major Willis is no enemy to progress or ea te rp rig ea of utility, bat he cannot look wi th fa? vor on a project which, if carried into effect, moat destroy the business of a large number of our moat useful and indue triona fellow-citi? zens, and take the bread ont of the months of their families. JUSTICE. Those Ward Meetings. To the Editors of Ike News: The card of "A True Conservative," publish? ed in your issue of Thursday, renders a brief statement of facts necessary, as a matter of simple justice to ali parties concerned.

On each of these occasions the meetings in Wards Nos. 5 and 6 were an? nounced, and public notice of the same was subsequently given in the columns of THE DAILY NEWS. If your correspondent be, as he professes, "A True Conservative," let bim cease quibbling and go to work like a man. UPPER WARDS. BUSINESS NOTICES. H. H.
