MATTHEW'S (GEBXAH LUTHERAN) CHURCH.-In accordance with the established custom of this. ! school, tts teachers and scholars, together with their friend?, at an early hour on yesterday morning pro ceeded bys special train on the South Carolina Rail? road to the Schutgenplatic, where the annual picnic - was to take place. A very large number of children were gathered together, and, with their teachers, male ind female, made a fine appearance, speaking well for the discipline and management exercised in the school. The day passed pleasantly. The boya and giris indulged in the usual amusements, and sported gleefully over the ground. We noticed the pretence of repr?sentatives from the several Lathe ran Sunday Schools and Churches of the city, and among them were pleased to greet the Kev. W. S. Bowman. Professor A. J. Hoffman, the superin? tendent of the school, and the committee of arrange? ment1, dt iorve credit for the manner in which they conducted affairs, and tho respected Pastor, the Rev. L. Muller, contributed largely to the general enjoy? ment ot ihe little ones. A shooting match was one Of the features of tho day, and the main prize was borne away by alaster H. Ostendorf, who was crown? ed as shooting king. Fully three hundred and fifty children wera present, all msmbers of the Sunday School. At twilight a train of eight cars moved slowly down to the city, bearing its precious freight of youth and innocence to their homes and friends. T'is ' St... G?LL" AND HUB CAPTAIN.-Captain button is a model host, and he. yosterday, assem? bled around him, on the decks of the Sea Gull, as jolly a company as ever saw salt water. The com? pany, which included representatives of the mercan? tile and shipping interests of the city and of THE DAILY NEWS and Courier, wandet ed over the ship and admired the complet entss of her Internal ar? rangements, and then were called to the handsome? ly fitted up cabin, where a sumptuous luncheon was spread. Knives and forks-not to mention mouths -went to work, and it was at least an hour before a thought was given to the toast of the day. Mr. Mor? decai, of Mordecai tc Co., then, in a few eloquent words, proposed the health of Captain Dutton, pay? ing that officer a deservedly high compliment for his gallant services in the gale which made the Sea Gull a helpless hulk upon the waters. Captain But ton made a handsome response, and the usual toasts followed. Parson Tates said some earnest words in support of practical religion, which were listened to with the attention that la commanded by the man who works as well as preaches. Responses to dif? ferent toasts were made hy representatives of the press, Mr. Mordecai, Mr. Paul Trenholm, of Courte? nay A Trenholm the purser of the Sea Gull, and others. The massive pitcher which was pre? sented to Captain Dutton by the Baltimore Steam? ship and Baflroad Company, aa a mark of their ap? preciation of his conduct in saving the Sea Gull, was circulated freely, and the company separated at a late hour feeling particularly well and happy. THE RADICAL REPUBLICAN CITY NCMXNAT nro Colmemos met last night at the Unitary Hall, and was organized by the choice of David Barrow as chairman, and E. W. MoG. Mackey and W. N. Taft aa secretaries, all being excluded from the hall ex. cept the delegates, after the credentials had been examined and approved, the members proceeded to the nomination, and Gilbert Pillsbury was nominat? ed for Mayor by an unanimous vote. A committee of one from each ward was appointed to walt on the nominee, Inform him or the action of tho conven? tion, and invite him to address the assemblage. The committee departed on their mission, and soon re? turned, bearing Mr. Pillsbury In triumph in their midst. He was assisted to the forum, and delivered himself of a sunup speech, which was frequently interrupted with applause and abouts of "Pillsbury's me man," which seems to have been adopted as the slogan of the clan. Af? ter assert lng that he bad always been the trae friend of the black man, and would tuc his utmost efforts to ad vaneo their position. Ur. Pillsbury concluded With the remark: tnat tbe municipal government would lie conducted cn the principe of "stopping the mouths of his enemies and fining the stomachs of feS? friends." This assertion elicited loud and ^olonged applause. One witty darkey offered, as an amendment, that he should give the "Pills" to hil enemies and keep the "Berry" for his friends. A motion was then made and estriad to adjourn, and the ward committees were Instructed to meet sepa? rately on Monday night, and pr?paie their nomina? tions for Aldermen, which would be balloted for on Tuesday night at a general meeting of the delegates. THE EQUITY COUBT- THURSDAY, MAT 14 CHANCELLOR LESSBHX, Paxarnnio.-The following cases were heard: Ward vs. Prichard. A motion to dissolve an in? junction. M. P. O'Connor, Esq., argued in favor of the motion. 8. W. Maurice, Esq., contra. The mo? tion was granted. In the case of the Charleston Savings Institution, a motion was made on behalf of a on dry depositors, by Hon. Henry Buist, that a rule should be issued against the said institution, its officers and agents, to show cause why the settlement and scaling of the amounts of the depositors, as required by the decree of chancellor Carroll, of 13th ol Match last, had not been heretofore made, and why some order should not be made for a diatribnUon of the amount of about $400,000 which has been paid over by the Master in Equity on account of the proceeds of sale made on the 16th of April. The motion for the rule was resisted by Hon. W. D. Porter and Edward McCrady, Esq., and, after ar? gument, the Chancellor declined to grant; the same on the ground that, under the decree of Chancellor Carroll, the motion could not be entertained, and that no sufficient proof to authorize the rule had been presented. Mr. Buist then gave notice that he sb o ula, atan early day, renew his motion m the shape of an order to amend the decree so as to authorize the Imme? diate disbursement of the amount now held by the institution, and which waa imperatively required by a large number of the poor of the community. THE CONSERVATIVE NOMINATING CONVEN? TION.- Tue delegates appointed by the different warda to nominate a Mayor on the part of the Con? servative voters of the city, met last night at the Ma? sonic Hall. Ihe following delegates were present : Ward 1.- W. L. Daggett, Benjamin Mclnnis, W. 8. Adams, A. Habcnicht and J. F. Farrell Ward 2.-James B. Pringle, James M. Mulvaney. I. W. Hayne, Joseph Bilton and C. Bl char deon Miles. Ward 3.-H. Ferguson, James Cosgrove, William E. Holmes, John Campeen and Theodore Cordes. Ward 4.-J. F. O'Neill, P. Moran, N. M. Porter, John A. Wagener and John Ferguson. Ward 5.-P. Brady, B. C. Barkley, William Moran and C. O'Mara. Ward 6,-Dr. T. B. Aldrich, F. C. Michell, W. J. Patterson, H. Elatte and J. R.'Taylor. Ward 7.-B. Hunter, Geo. H. Gruber, J. N. Purse, F. H. Duo and J. M. Eason. Ward 8-W. S. Henerey, J. S emlen, J. Hunt, W. B. b ml th and John Handel. On motion of Ur. John Hancnol, General John A. Wagener was called to the chair. Ur. W. S. Henerey was then nominated as sec rota? ry, when Ur. W.' X. Daggett, of the Courier office, one of the delegates, moved that no person be al? lowed to remain in the Convention who was not a member thereof. The representatives of 1 HE NEWS and Mercury then retired. The motion made may have been in itself very proper, bot, under the cir. cums tances, that lt should have come from Mr. I ag? gett, shows him to bo utterly wanting in that cour? tesy which hus usually been the characteristic of Charleston Journaliem. Mr. W. 8. Henerey declined to serve, and Mr. W. L. Daggett was then appointed secretary. After organizing, tho committee adjourned to meet Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. CLOSE or TBS CHARITY FATE.-The last night of the Fair was a complete ovation. The hall was densely crowded, and the Post Band played their most inspiriting airs, which induced many of the gay promenadeia to plead for one dance. Unfortu? nately their Terpsichorean proclivities could not be gratified, as the auction of the unraffied articles was to take place under the auspices of Messrs. William Knox and B. 8. Bruns. We venture the assertion that these gentlemen have never exclaimed "going at a sacrifice]" with moro truth than last night The music drew a large crowd to the f tage, and the auc? tioneers' cries were frequently drowned by the me? lodious strains of "Pop goes the Weasel," and other familiar tunes. AB the Fair was about to close, Bishop Lynch came forward and said that he must express his high appreciation of the manner in which it had been conducted. During the eleven days of ita con? tinuance there bad been no unpleasant feeling or want of cordiality-all had been characterized by perlect purity of manner and propriety of behavior. He thanked particularly the public, the ladles and the committee, and said that he believed that the proceeds of the Fair would far exceed his modest ex? pectations. The visitors remained until a late hour, and it was not until the warning notes of the last oar were sounded that the hall was cleared.

THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CONVENTION THTBDDAY-MAT 15.-The Convention met pursuant to adjournment, and after morning prayer the was was called and the minutes or tho previous read and confirmed. The proceedings of the were generally formal and of no public interest, witt the exception of the following ieport, which was read by Bev. C. 0. Pinckney, and listened to with great attention. ' On motion, five hundred copies were dered to be printed for distribution in tho diocese After a long discussion on the rules of the church and the selection of lay delegates, which was partici? pated in by several of the clergy and laity, the Con? vention adjourned without action: BEPOET OE CHURCHES DAMAGED OR DESTROYED The committee to whom was referred the doty gathering information with regard to the destruction of churches and loss of church property during war. beg leave to report: That they have discharged the trust committed them as accurately as they could. It has required much patience and perseverance to obtain definite information as to the condition of many of church es which lay in the track of the Invader. The fien? tornado which swept over our State from its southwestern to its northeastern borders, leaving the ashes of cities, and villages, and churches, and homesteads to mark its desolating track, so uprooted the foundations of our social and dome-tic life, sometimes to leave few survivors to tell the tale. The destruction of railroads, the absence of postoffices, and the removal of those members ot the congrega tion who were familiar with its history, have often rendered it exceedingly difficult to obtain information authentic enough to embody in this report. But tho committee believe that they have at last succeeded In their efforts to present a true and accu? rate statement They begin with the churches in the southwestern portion of the diocese, and will trace their history geographically in the order of Sherman's march. ST. PETXB'S CHUBCH, BOBEBTVELLE-Was the only Episcopal Church in that parish. It was a new church, built in 1859, of wood. It was burnt by the Federal army in January, 1885, together with the re sid enees of every member of the congregation. The small congregation has been . entirely dispersed There is neither budding, nor minister, nor people I The church may be considered dead. ST. LUXE'S PABISH.-The Church of the Holy Trinity, Grahamville, escaped with the destruction of Its organ and furniture, and some injury chancel and pews. Its parsonage was burnt with the greater portion of the town. Only five dwelling houses escaped the torah. A portion of the con gregation have returned, but almost every member la in a state of bankruptcy. The systematic deetruc tlon of house?, barns, buildings, and fences around ! the rich man's estate and the poor nun's cabin forbid any ? prospect of speedy restoration to this portion or the country. The recent death of their long-esteemed Pastor has added to their calamities. By the action of our Diocesan Missionary Society, the remnant of this church is supplied with missionary services , monthly. [ The church at Bluffton has a similar history to its sister church in this parish. The church was not in volved in the destruction of the town, being pro? tected from the flames by its beautiful grove oaks. But the dispersion of the population, with the poverty Of the few remaining fhrnfflfm, ha9 cans ? ed a suspension of religious services. The Sector, the Bev. James Stoney, after trying In vain to re? vive the parish, has been compelled to leave the diocese for want of support The church is, there? fore, suspended. St Paul's, Stono, WM repaired thoroughly 1863; was converted into a commissary store by Con federate troops in 1864, being not then used for divine service; the pews and church furniture torn out and destroyed; its funds, of some three thousand dollars, were invested in Confederate scrip, and are valueless. Its plate is in possession of tho Vea try of St Pam's, In St George's Dorchester. Sr. HELENA CHUSCH, BEAUFORT-Established in 1713, one ot the oldest church 's in the State, has bad a varied experience of the changes through which we have passed. Upon the capture of Port Boyal in November, 1861, the entire population of Beau fort fled from their homes, including every family connected with the church. The Federal forces converted the building into a hospital, removed the pews and galleries, andi floored it across so as to form a second story. Dr. Walker, for forty years the venerated Rector of the church, hus returned to his home, and officiate in the lecture room to a small remnant ol hie former flock. The confiscation of the property of St Hele na Parish, by acta of Congress, has reduced this congregation to more than ordinary destitution, lliey can neither repair their church nor support their Rector. The Domestic Board of Missions has placed Dr. Walker upon their lists of missionaries, and thus enabled him to resume his miciatry, and the aid of friends bes partially restored the church, so that lt can now be used for worship. The Rector and remnant of this parish must needs recall the years when St Helena Church, in .proportion to numbers, stood first among the donors to the canse of missions in the United States. It has contribu? ted more than wealth to God's house. The late be? loved bishop of Georgia went ont from tb ls devoted altar, to consecrate his lofty intaUvst and capacious heart to Christ And ten to twelve other ministers of OUT church claim this church as their spiritual home. \ THE CHUECHON HILTON HEAD, a chapel of ease to St Luke's Parish, has entirely disappeared. It waa a wooden structure, not of much value. The mate? rials, it is behoved, were removed by the negroes in order to build house, for themselves on that is und. This appears to have been the fate with many of the chapels built by the planters all around Beaufort tor the religious benefit of. their people. Chapels and materials have both disappeared, probably witb the some destination. The church on St Helena Island, also one of the old churches of the diocese, was completely stripped ot ppws and furniture, and ls now in the hands of the Methodists. It ls used by the negroes, who con stirate the sole population of tho island, as a place for theil meetings. It may be considered deod. SHELDON CHURCH, PnrNCE WILLIAMS'.-It hat been tho fate of this venerable parish church to pass through two revolutions, and to experience the same fortune in each. It was burnt "by the British in 1780, on their march from Savannah to Charles? ton," and it wss burnt again by the Unit- d States Army on their march from Savannah to Charleston in 1865. It had pi evistudy been stripped of pews and furniture by the negroes. All that was oom bustible was consumed; but itsma-sive walls sur vive the la't as they did the tonner conflagration. From 1780 to 1880 it remained desolate. The writer can remember how an oak tree which grew in tho centre ol th? venerable pile filled the interior, and threw its ample branches over the lefty walls while s cedar sprung from tho chancel recess, and hyssop and ivy coated the ruin with green. It was rebuilt obout 1330, and bas been a living parish np to the early part of the war. Its services were sus? pended by tne death of its valuad Rector, Rev. Ed* ward Reed. Moy it rise once more from its ruins to become a tempi- Of the living God, The Mission Chapel, in the same parish, built by Rev. C. Elliott for the negroes on the Combab.ce, was taken down by Sherman's troops in order to build a bridge over that river. The materials moy still be seen in thu bridge. It was Mr. Euliott's deaien to revive bis church among the colored population, to whom he bad been preaching the gospel for thirty yeirs. OurDiocesm Board of Missions hod encouragea him to resume, his work among the members o' his former charge; but his unexpected death deprived the diocese of the labors of one of the most-experienced African mis? sionaries known to our church. He had built this chapel, and given his gratuit'us services for many years for tho benefit of the African race. For this work he had a peculiar adaptation ; but his work bas ceased, his congregation scattered, and his church destroyed. What fruit he will find garnered np in another world, we know not But when "Ethiopia shall stretch ont her hands unto God," some of her sable sons, we doubt sot will be given him for his hire. ASCENSION CHUBCH, Combahee, which Mr. Elliott served in connection with his chapel, is in good re? pair, but not used for religious service. Very fe w of the congregation remain, and those who are at? tempting to plant in that vicinity i re not attached to the Episcopal Church. THE ASHEPOO CHUBCH, St Bartholomew's Parish, partially survives-the frome is standing, but its weather boarding and flooring are entirely gone. Foster's troops used them to build a bridge over the river. Every planter's house has been burnt for mues around, and the population generally dis? persed, A law men are trying to piont the rice louds, but no families have returned, nor have they the means of rebuilding church or home. CHRIST CHURCH, WLLTOWN.-This beau timi build? ing is standing embowered as of old in its venerable oaks, but its doors are closed and its congregation scattered. Ita pulpit and pews were removed by the Coniederates and the building used as a oommisso'y depot The beautiful homes of the planters on the if disto Biver were generally burnt in the march of the Federal troops. No white family Uves near the church ; negroes occupy the country, and inhabit the only surviving mansion. A remnant of this congre? gation have settled ten miles below, where educated and once wealthy men may be seen ploughing their lands and grinding their corn, while their wives and daughters cook and wash. A missionary service once a month constitutes the extent of their religious privi? leges. CHURCH FLATS.-Thia waa a new building erected by the planters on the Stono for the use of that por? tion of St Paul's Parish which extended along ihe banks of that river. It was burnt by the Federal army on the 23d February, 1865. accidentally rather than intentionally. The troops set fire to a neigh? boring house; the fire extended to the church and destroyed it The Rector, Ber. Jos. Seabrook, and family, were at the same time driven from their home to seek shelter in thia cit}. The church may be con? sidered ex inot THE CHUBCH ON JOHN'S ISLAND.-This building was used ss a commissary depot by the Confederate forces during their occupation of the island; but it was not seriously injured by their use. It was, how? ever, entirely destroyed by a disastrous fire which swept over the island in the spring of 1864, consum? ing many other buildings in its course. The fire is believed to have been occidental. It is no whether it originated in some of the Federa or in thc carelessness of negroes. This church had also a considerable fun S30.000, Invested in stocks and bonds. 1 bi are worthless, and it is estimated by its t that $3000 only cao bo i calized from its bond of the former residents have returned to thoii and there is no present prospect of reorgaai; congregation.

They have recently bec stored to their place, and now invite our peo; the house of Goo witn their familiar sound, and the otherwise painful silence of the Sabbath i These bells have known the vicissitudes of wai the revolution they were taken away and ox for sale In England. They were purchased by By hine u. and generously restored to tho oh by tba British. At the ?vacuation of Charleston, calling our "population to pubUc worship foi hundred years, and giving utterance to the p joy or the pubUc grief through that eventful pe they perished lu the second and more cala m revolution through which our coma ry has just ed. Their restoration to the old spire was h with joy by our citizens, and the preservation o; graceful spire, as weU as the venerable church I now the historic church of the diocese, is a sn Of devout gratitude to our city and our State. ST. PHILIP'S CHUB CH suffered more than SI cha el's, or any other in tbe city. The max twelve shells were visible, which have penet the roof or walla. One burst in the organ and to pieces that costly instrument Its lotty spii caped injury. It has been repaired, and is no gular ly open for divina servi oe. The Inj ni church and organ has cost the congregation? thousand dollars. The financial condition of our diocese is iUu? ed by a fact that in the history of tbese two chun the largest and wealthiest in the State, St Phi could not raise the amount necessary to make I church habitable, until the amount waa advance an individual whose moana had escaped the rsv of war. Nor could St. Michael's pay the euitomhou?e < upon their bella without the aid of public subsj tiona and voluntary concerta. GRACE CHUBCH was struck by a single shall, that proved a destructive one. It crushed one o central columns and cracked the superincuml waU up to the roof, tore away twelve pews, and the interior walls in man- place?. The injury temporarily repaired by a wooden pillar. Soon after the evacuation of the city this cht was reopened for service, and tor a year lt affoi to the Episcopalians of the city a place of won while their sanctuaries lay desolate. Sx. LUXE'S AND ST. STEPHEN'S also received d age fr. m shells, in roof and walls. But they I been repaired and restored to their holy uaes. ST. PET EB'S, CHARLESTON.-This church was strayed during the war, though not directly b; It perished in the great conflagration which sn over our city in December, 1801. It was foundec 1830, and formed the scene of the zealous minti of Rev. W. H. Barnwell. In zeal and good wc this church was for thirty years a burning and si ing light to our dloceso, and its influence li though its light has perished. The congregation has been divided among ot churche*, and there f earns to be Uttle prospect ol revival in the diminished population of our cc Insured for $20,000 m specie; but the failure the companies in which they have vested their fm renders ita fund useless. GRACE CHURCH, SULLIVAN'S ISLAND.-This wi brick building, originally erected for a lazaretto, was purchased in 1816, and formed into a par church for the Episcopalians who made the isla their home during the summer. When the hon on the island were removed to give place to tin formidable batteries which, for four years, proteo the harbor from hostile fleets, the church was volved in the common calamity. It was made commissary depot for the Confederate troops. Ita roofless walls still U(t up their solemn sides tho silence of the scene. Houses and populati have both disappeared. The grim battlements, w their frowning guns, cover the site of the once po] lons village-but you may walk along their ent length without meeting soldier or citizen, or heart any sound eave the ceaseless roll of the sea. There is a strange and painful solitude reigni around those s hores, where once our citizens flock to stroll along the crowded beach; and a mc solemn silence reigning over those massive worl whose tnuiiders shook our city by day and nig] Is this desolation the sure wages of war ? Tho poor families who inhabit the island are chu ly Irish Romanist*. No members ot our church i main, nor is there any prospect of its revival CHRIST CHURCH PARISH.-The old church, e miles from Charleston, lay just within the Unes < the east of tho city, and was occupied by the Co federate troops. It received some damage from thei But after the evacuation of the city its ruin was coi pie ted by tho Federal soldiers; powr, pulpit, floor doors and windows were destroyed, and the brit walls cut through in many places. History bas ?-oproduccd itself in this old chnrcl It was desecrated by the British in tho Revolutioi and their cavalry stabled within lt The Feder troops put it to the same nae when stationed lu tl vicinity. It still lies desolate, its opon doors affon lng shelter to the stray cattle ami lo the birds of tl air. Its fund oft ls nearly worthless. ST. JOHN'S BERKELET.-Provious to the warr parish in the dloceso was bettor prepared to take cai of its clergyman. It owned a lice plantation wi ic rented for twelve hundred, sometimes for fifteen hui dred dollars per annum, and about ten thousand do lars bi stocks. It owned a winter parsonage and summer residence for its minister, in a healthy pc si tion. Hut almost all this has gone. Biggin Ch ure was much injured and its walls defaced; ail the pew: the detk and chancel ralla wore tom down ai d burnt The congregation ls not revived, except by a month! service. The other churches between the seaboard and Cc lumbla, at Barnwell. Pineville, Sumter, Richland am Orangeburg escaped destruction, but received mon or less damage. lhe churches on tbe seaboard north of Ch arl ca toi fared better than those which bore the brunt ol thi invasion. The two churches on North and South Santce es caped, though they were stripped of furniture, orgai and all movables. The church plato was stolen, bu the set belonging to St James' was recovered by ap plication to a Federal officer commanding a gunboat on the river. The Bible and prayer book (the gift o, Robecca Motte, of revolutionary tame,) were destroy? ed. No service has been resumed ha either parish, nor do their mean? afford any present prospect ol supporting a clergyman. 'J he five churches at Georgetown and Waccamaw suffered less, only two of them losing their car? pets and furniture. But tbe prostration of thc once flourishing churches on Waccimaw is com? plete. They contained moro wealth than any other rural parish iu South Carolina, or perhaps in tho South. There were the homes of the largest rice planters on this continent Their provision for the temporal and spiritual welfare or their slaves was a standard to other llantera. Numerous chapels, built by the proprietors for the use of their people, adorned the estates, wher e the services ?.f our church wcru as well performed as In any other con? gregation in thc la_d. The faithful labors of their revered Pastor, Bev. A. Glennie, for thirty years had wrought bl'ssrd results, aided by the systematic! teachings of the planters and their families. Hun dr ds ot the colored race were communicants ot our church-thousands of color?, d children recited the catechism, and answered as inteU'gently as any ot their age ia Europe or America; and the Lord's work * imed prospering and sure. Alas, for tho change .u five or six years 1 Poverty bas o- ertaken these desolated homes-fire bas consumed their houses; the rice Heids, rieh as any land between the Missis? sippi and tiie Nile, Ue desolate; their former labor era can scarcely be induced t < work?, ? Their religious deterioration is painful They have forsaken tbe way which they hod learned, anil takin to themselves teachers of their own color. Fa? naticism and extravagance rule in their religious as? semblies to inch an extent as to require th.- aid of the military to keep order and repress violence. There are Indications of a return to African barbar? ism, lhere is no religious services .-e-eatabUahed in the three churches on Waccamaw. The planters are bankrupt; their houses despoiled ; their costly libraries torn to pieeoa or shipped to Sortbern ports. Whit good the Lord may work out of the cresent confusion we know not; but to human eyes the present state of things is only evil to both races whii'h inhabit these beautiful shores. The hipto> y ot this once happy region is written in a elude personal incident. 'The eldest son ot' the Ingest ric? plantor on Waccamaw lately died. He was supported during hf? illness by charity, and was buried by the contributions of friends. CHBIST CEUSCH, COLOMBIA, shared the fate of that beautiful city when burnt by Goneral Sherman's army in February, 1863. With the excepticn orita elder sister in that city, it was the largest and hand? somest church in the diocese outside of Charleston. It was consecrated in 1859, and was in the height of its prosperity. The church, with its organ, carpets, books and all that lt contained, was destroyed in that fearful night The loss to the congregation amounted to $30,000. A disputed title to the lot on which the original church stood has involved them in atiditional losses, and thc removal of many of their members in the depopulation of Columbia has reduced to the lowest ebb this ouce flourishing con? gregation. Thc few survivirs find themselves quite unable to support a minister. Their services are maintained by the aid of the Domestic Board of Mis? sions. The dostructiou of this church may be con? sidered the heaviest blow to tho welfare of our dio? cese. TRINITY CHUBCH, COLUMBIA, suffered the loss of ita beautiful parsonage, which was burnt, as well as the Sunday Schoolhouse, with their contents, inclu? ding the records of the parish from ita organization. The loss to the church amounts to $9 or $10,000. The communion plate, a valuable set, was forcibly taken from the rector, by a bond of soldiers, as he was endeavoring to carry it from his burning house to a place of safety. It has never been recovered. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, WntKsnono'.-This church was destroyed by Aro when a portion of that town was burnt by the Federal army. The organ, furni? ture, books, and all the church property were con? sumed. It has involved a small congregation bi a loss of $5000. Their services ore maintained, and there ls some prospect of rebuilding the church the only instance in the diocese of any such pro? posal. 6 BA ex CHUBCH, CAVDEK.-The church escaped (but bas, unfortunately, been burnt in the last year) and the bishop's residence was respected; but the brick building owned by tho church, and loaned to the Theological Seminary, was burnt by incendiaries after the troops passed through. The greater part of the library belonging*to the Society for the advancement of Christianity in South Caro? lina was thus destroyed. The loss to the semi? nary and the diocese is heavy, for this libra? ry was the accumulation of fifty years, and contain ed many rare and costly books, whose money value it is impos-ible to estimate. ST.DAVIS'S Cnracu, CHEBAW, was tba last church in the eastern tart of the State in the line of tho Federal invasion. It was seriously damaged by an explosion of ammunition near it and doors, win? dows, and part of the wall shattered. The church plato was stolen, with books and furniture, and ita enclosure torn down. But the church ia habitable, and Its worship continues. To sum up the losses of the diocese it appears, that ten churches have disappeared ; that twenty two parishes are suspended; that eleven parsonages have been burnt; that every church between the sa? vannah Hiver and Charleston has been injured, somo stripped even of weather boarding and flooring ; that almost every minister in that region of the state has lost home and library; that along the en? tire seaboard, from North Carolina to Georgia, where our church had flourished for more than a century, there are but four parishes which maintain religious services; that not one, outside the City of Charles? ton, can be called a living, self-sn? tainin g parish, able to support a minister; that their clergy live by il ching, by gaming and m?chame arts; and that al? most evory church, whoso history appears on this record, has lost its communion plato, often a mas? sive and venerable set the donation ol an English or Colonial ancestor. The pecuniary losses might be repaired if the dio? cese were as in days gone by. But in its present Im? poverished condition, no hope remains of speedy restoration. This generation can scarcely behold it. May the God of all grace grant us, in faith and pa? tience, to try and build again tho wasto places of Zion. " O Lord of Hoste, look down from Heaven, behold and visit this vine, which thy right hand hath planted." "It hath been burnt with fire, and the wild boar ?ut of the wood doth root it up." "Com? fort us again alter the time that thou bast plagued us and for tile years wherein we have fuffered adversi? ty." "Show thy servants thy work, and their chil? dren thy glory." Prosper thou the work of our hands, " O, prosper thou our handy work I" O. C. PTNOKNEY, PETEB J. SH AND, PAUL TBAPIEB.
