After tho regular business of tho day had been transacted tho eooiety adjourned to tho dining room, whore a'dinner was sorved by Mr. Butterfleldi o? which it may be said that it waa tho moat satisfactory public dinner that has boon given in Charleston for a loug time. Thero was an abuudauce of overy thing, and it waa well prepared, and when that is said about a dimer, thero is nothing stronger that ro? mains to bc said. Tables woro spread on throe Bides of tho largo dinning-room of the hotol, and they were well lilied, thero being upwards of one huudro'l porsons present. Captain Jacob Small, President of tho society, presitlod at ono end of tho fabio, and Alderman Olney, one of tho Vice-Prosidonts, at tho other; tho President being supported on his right by Professor Meier, and on his loft by Dr. Bach man. Knives, forks and glasses jingled mer? rily for awhile, until tho heartiest eaters leaned back in their chairs, withdrawing from tho contest with good things successful, yet de? feated. Then the tables woro cleared of all save the drinkables, and silenco being restored. President Small rea i the first regular toast: The Day we celebrate-Inaugurated by charity aud good fellowship, may it be perpetual. This was rospouded to by tho vice-President at the foot of tho table, and then tho band, which was stationed in the centre of the hall, played '"La Marsellaise." The President then read the second regular toast: The Founders or our Society-May we ever chetish that noble feeling established by tbcm, and may we never be rocreaut in carrying out their de? signs. This toast was responded to by A. H. Dun? kin, Esq., in substance as follows: Ono hundred and throe years ago the Ger? man Friendly Society was organized by sous of tho Fatherland, who had made their homes in this city of tho new world. Their bond of union was brotherly love and charity. Simple in their tastes, earnest in their mission of labor, exact and hone?t in their respective vocations, they impressed upon the commu? nity in which tliey lived some of the best types of Gorman civilization. They were thought? ful, practical, reticent. Their confidence was of slow growth, but onoe bestow ed rat ely with? drawn. TO the Antics Of life ..thftJJ.nwri? to tho pteas?T?s^TT??e they were just by their moderation. They put their hands to their work which was before them ; they looked not behind. A century and more has rolled by. The Colonial government the pioneers formed has been transformed into a republic, and some of them lived to take a pride in a Steu? ben and DeKalb, who won the place, of hero and martyr in the struggle for new life. After the waving shoots that adorned their graves had become sturdy, venerable monarchs, then came the agony which veiled the land in sack? cloth and ashes The hour of glory in new birth, The agony in the still-bora. Throughout all the German attributes of self-reliance, caution, honesty have been visible in cur midst. Be true to the memory of the founders, and never say die. The third regular toast was read as follows : Germany I-Sweet land of our fathers and dear home of our affection; though separated by the mighty ocean, onr hearts still cling to thee, and we will ever remember thee with pleasure. This was responded to by Professor Herman D. Meier, whose every tono and gesture be? spoke the true orator, animated by bis theme and giving graceful expression to his own warm feelings. Professor Meier said : Permit me, gentlemen, to say that nothing but the hope of your kiud indulgence encour? ages m 3 to appropriate to myself, as the most recent Carolinian in your midst, as a guest from the far-off shores of the Fatherland, the honor of being allowed to speak before this ancient and venerable society. I am one of those mentioned in the intro? duction to your mles, ' who emigrated to CLarloston with a view of seeking in a new country that repose which their own has de? nied them." Yet my warmest feelings arc at? tached to her. But verily, gentlemen, it is to the stranger just landing an indescribable feel? ing of comfort and delight to see how German customs and .habits thrive even under the more glowing beams of a Southern sun, rear? ing, coupled with American life, a tall aud stately tree, which no storm can break, no dark and heavy clouds can bond down, and under whose friendly and hospitable protection the stranger ceases, as a natural sequence, to be a stranger,1 Tbe crown of this enchanting tree is the venerable German Friendly Society. Its ir aita are stored up in the records of a his? tory more than centennial; their names are science in education, sociability in reunions, hospitality and protection to the new comer from tho. soil of tho Fatherland, charity and nursing of tho sick in times of trouble and [{loom-each and every ono of those virtues separately a golden apple of immortality in a vessel of silver. Let me proclaim, then, with Unland, our dead but un eying German bard : "Dud fragt man nach dor Schuldigkeit, 80 sch ut toit er den Wipfe!; Gesegnet eel er allezeit Von der Wurzel bis zum Oejifel i" And now, gentlemen, seeing, as I do hero, Germans and Americans in friendly union, al? low me to repeat, what I said in' my "Greeting to South Carolina" : "No power ean kill the ever powerful live oak Always on Carolina's sons inherent." For I view in this venorable society a donbly crowned live oak of a hundred years' growth; let us drink to this twin-crowned tree, accord? ing to ancient German birth-day custom : May it live, thrive, bloom and bear fruit vet with the assistance, of God for five hundred years to come. The band sang and played the " Fatherland," many of those present joining in. The fourth regular toast was then offered : Charleston our Home-May the dark olouda that ?ret overshadow the horizon soon break, and tbe mel ow rays of the sun ot peace bless ber with happinsss sud prosperity. This was responded to by John H. Honour, Esq., one of the Aldermen of the city, who spoke io glowing terms cf the prosperity ?ad lame of Charleston in the past, and of tho bright prospect now before her, in spite of the darkness and gloom of the present. The band played " Dixie." . The fifth and last regalar toast was than offered by the President as follows : W. man-Tho last gift of God to man. A rc?nls totin? angel sent to soothe the journey on life1? un* certain road; In flue, the sole object of our n?ceos? los veneration. This was responded to by Dr. J. B. Patrick, who spoke in eloquent terms of the devotion and tenderness of the sex, and their ennobling influence ?pori mon. " . The Mud played "Am I not fondly thine own?" Tho President offered tho first volunteer toast: Tbe Health of aT prosent, Members and Invited Guests-May nono be absent on our anniversary lu 1870, and may our venerable pastor ?nd brother member, with un bated I health, occupy his ac? customed seat to cheer us with his presence and join us in our social mirth. This was responded to "briefly by' Rev. Dr. Bachman, who alluded to the tact that ho had been a member of the society for fifty-four year?, und had always taken an interest in its affairs. He'?aid ho hada noto iu his band from Rev. Dr. Hicks, who waa in tho oountry for a few days, and rogrotted his inability to comply with the kind invitation of tho society to bo prosonttyi this occasion. Dr. Bachman dosed with thc following toast: German Industry, German Fidolity, and the Purity and Zeal of the liurly Reformers-AU example uni a guide to their posterity. John Picken, Esq., at the request of the Presi? dent, offered the health of tho proBS-saying that ho had hoped'that tho toast would have boon" offerod at au earlier hour whan "there" wtie several repr?sentatives of tho press pres? ent, and it might have boen appropriately res? ponded to. He hoped, howover, that those Ht ill prcsont might bo induced to rospond, and ho called upon tho representativo of the Charleston Courior. Being thus cornered, J. A.'Moroso, Esq., ono of tho editors of tho Courier, made a few remarks arid offered a cen-" timon t. I Loud and repeated calls were then mado foi THE DAIL? NEWS, and nono of tho editors being prcsont, Lieutenant Burger responded for the paper, thanking tho society for tho compliment nnel hoping that it might always bo merited. Lieutenant Burger concluded with the follow? ing toast: Charity-''he angel of hope-tho harbinger ?f com lort lo the widow-a Balve to tho broken-hearted, und a l ri nd to ihoso that mourn. In response to Sou*h Carolina, offered by Colonel. Guillare?, Dr. J. B, Patrick gavo the following : Her ?ODB-Native and adopted, will redeem and rent or o her to that proud pos'tlon she once oe u pted-one ot tho brightest starB in tho galaxy of our American Union. A number of otuor toasts were offered and speeches made, but they were not intended for publication, but only to add to the pleasure and entertainment of the occasion. Professor Eckel took his place at the piano, Mr. Petorsen accompanied him with a fino voice, and wine music and sing occupied the jovial patty until a late hour. FROM TUE STATE CAPITA TJ. The Al arlin and ltandolph Murders Illness of a Well-known Citizen-A ltampni in the House-Leslie opens his Mouth-A Lively Description of Barnwell-Accounts Acted Un. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. J COLUMBIA, S. C., January 19.-Attornoy-Gon eral D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., returned from Abbeville this evening. The trial of the par? ties charged as principals and accessories iu" the Martin and Randolph murders has boen postponed to tho May term of tho court for that circuit. The hall of the House of Representatives has been both tastefully and handsomely deco? rated. The national and State flags-the latter bearing the...Pftlsaetto and. tiio-uM*??*m?i_L???A iutortwined and suspended over the speaker's desk, surmounted by a golden eagle. The flags are - about six feet by four, and the eagle about four feet; A very beautiful effect is pro? duced, and the Democrats are particularly gratified at the intermingling of the two ban? ners. Hon.. James Augustus Black, for several years ComptroUer-Generol of the State, is lying seriously ill at his boarding-house in this city, and his physicians pronounce his recovery very doubtful. He was recently eleoted by the Democratic party in Abbeville to fill the vacan? cy caused by the resignation of Valentine, a ' member ot the House of Representatives. Mr. Black arri ved here last Saturday with his cre? dentials, prepared to take his seat. He was universally popular in this city, and his illness is deeply regretted by all classes. During the absence of Speaker M0308 to-day at the Senate, for the purpose of ratifying "An act to establish a State Orphan Asylum," the member who was temporarily called to the chan- became so tangled np with motions, pointe of order, the calling of the previous question, &c, that it was found necessary to dispatch a messenger in all haste, requesting thc Speaker.to return, or the House would be? come uncontrollable. The members seemed determined to test to the fullest the parlia? mentary knowledge of the new presiding offi? cer, and with euch success as to cast entirely ni tho shade the most uproarious meeting of "Old Tammany." On the reappearance of tho Speaker, his emphatic voioe and use of '.bc. gavel boon restored the usual quiot, with only here and there a broad grin perceptible upon the faces of some of tho wags, who had played off their joke at tho expense of the unfortu? nate Speaker pro tempor: Senator Leslie delivered another speech to? day, which brought down the Senate. Hts subjeot was a bill to change tbe county seat of Barnwell County from Barnwell Courthouse to Blackville, S. O. His cai nos tn ess of manner in speaking, his gestures, his habit of passing his fingers through his hair, and particularly his cry at intervals of "Mr. President," were altogether too muon for the usual gravity of the eonatora, His speech was. however, lie? tened to with great pleasure. His chief point was that all county seats in this age should be looated at the greatest commercial centres, along thc railroad and telegraph lines, and that the day was gone "fly when county seats were to be soleo tod simply because some way wo rd stream ran through it.or because the Indian had once turned in that dircotion his quill-adorned moccasin. Barnwell Courthouse, be contend? ed, was established more than fifty years ago. when there were no railroads, and the moment the railroad was run through that county the whole tide of business changed its base. Barn? well Comthouso, he said, rs dried up, with not life enough to build a chicken-coop. Four fifths of all the activo capital of the county was ?nib acted along tho linc of the road, aud hun eds of persons who live four or five miles nearer to Barnwell than Blackville, alwajs Went te the latter place to trade. Th ero was now no courthouse, no .jail, at Barnwell Courthouse. Both were destroyed by Sher-, man's army. There was no hotel in the {ilaoe, neither had it inoroased one hoiulred nbabiiants in the last twenty yoars. As for its central location it was not nearly ao central as Barkley's Creek? where some, desired to have the county seat established, but tv,,ero he would say that nearly the onlv voices heard were those ot the lugUbrioua quadrupeds called "bull frog)??" Ho showed that he was not per? sonally interested in the change one loilar, bub that with a view to benefit tho great mass of the people he wanted this bill passed before the cour. ty commissioners levied and coileoted . their tacos xor the building ol a courthouse. Look at tho question as they might, he said, in (his sire it resolves itself into this : that commercial and business centres are political centres, and where the steam en? gine sud the telegraph are established there will be the markets of the people and the poli? tical centres of the surrounding country. Not less than six thousand bales of cotton had been shipped, he said, from Blackville this yoar. It wa? about midway between all the important Silases along the line of railroad running brough Barnwell County. It wis tous that th?re were a few this residences st Barnwell ? Courthouse, the owners of which wove oppos? ed to the chango because thev thought it would injure their property.,. That might or. might not be,but one thing was cor tai n the great mass of the poor people and the businee people m would be beneOtted. Ho had been in favor of submitting tho question ol' a ohange to the Ecu pl o of tho county, aud a bill to that effect ad passed tho Senato at the ppecial session, but failed to get through the House for want of time. To do BO now, they would havo to wait a whole year, and in the meantime tho county commissioners would bo called upon to levy taxes to con?tract a new building. The bill then passed its second reading without opposition and was ordered to bo en? grossed for a third reading. Swails, fr .ra tho Committee on the Military, to whom was referred a joint resolution author? izing the Governor to employ an armed foroe for tho presoivntion of the peace, reported back tho yamo, with iv recommendation that tho resolution t'o pass. Tho resolution was road and it3 further con? sideration mado tho upocial order foi to-mor? row.

SOTTTIIEI11V SJECXntlTIES JJV WJLLZ ST1112ET. The Kew York Herald of Monday contains the following article on Southern securities. It will bs seen that South Carolina six per cent, bonds hold their own, and that they sell at higher rates than Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina six per cents, and at the samo price as Louisiana six per cents. There is, in truth, no State more solvent than South Caro? lina. The net profit on the colton crop of the State this year would pay off every dellar of our debt : Perhaps not the least interesting foauiro which the operations in Wall-street during the past week have presented has been the brisk inquiry exhibited for Southern State bonds and other securities of that section, oommg large? ly, too, from the people resident there, reflect? ing as it does the rapid and positive recovery ol these State from the monetary and material degression consequent upon the late war, and, what is equally gratifying in this connection, the belief of the people themselves most af? fected thereby in suob recuperation and future prosperity. It is dearly apparent from many sources of intelligence that while Radical poli? ticians of both stripes have beeb engaged in wordy warfare respecting their favorite methods of governmental reconstruction, and to suit their different purposes have at various times presented the most shocking pictures of lawlessness, disorganization of society, pover? ty, lack of enterprise, paralysed energy and wretchedness, as true illustrations of the state of affairs existing in the defunct confederation, a very large proportion of tho Southern people themselves, quietly ignoring the existence even ot such selfish intermediators, havo been earnestly at work in securing a. practical re? construction, that would eventually confound these partisan philosophers, and by the short out of a commercial and monetary association with one another and with the North, render1 easy of solution, as simply logical jiu their de? velopment, all problems affeoiing their con? dition or status in a politioal sense. This hais been partly accomplished through the resis? tance of Northern ?apitp.1. r?hioh has boon largely invested in tho industrial interests' of tho South, with, so fat, Very Arotifymgroswlts. H<x is the course of speculation ia this direc? tion stopped yet; on the contrary, many of the large plantations, which, owing to the inability of their Southern owners to work them Eroperly for want o? means, havo furnished ut a small proportion of the crop winch their extent and capacity render them capable of, are every day pas ung into the hands of North? ern capitalists with both the means and tho Intention to apply all the latest implements of modern invention to their cultivation and im? provement. The very , considerable cotton crop this year, exceeding the anticipation* in? dulged in concerning it, baa stimulated enter? prise all through the South, and, with Its grati? fying results, awakened new energy in tho peo? ple. There is no reason why it should not bo greatly improved upon noxt year, and before the close of General Grant's administration we may confidently look for aa large a production of the staple from free labor and modem machinery at in the moat bountiful year of the old regime; indeed, with these better apphanoea to the cultivation of tho soi', far exceeding it. There is no surer .teat of ibo faith that ls in any man than his willingness to risk his money upon tho correct? ness cf hie opinions; and thu? ?hen we find an active demand spr.nga up after a period of dulles** for thone securities, which have their valu? in tho prosperity of tho Southern States, it ls the beat evidence that could bo presented of the improved condition and prosperity of that section.

As (o tho Homo for Boya, it i& regarded as ono of the most comprehensive, far-reaching and benefi? cent charities which has boon extended to the South since our troubles. Wo have applica? tions from all parts of the Sfcato for admission, and as soon as tho alterations needed in the Home, recently purchased for this work, aro completed, wo will bo able to meot, to a con? siderable extent, this groat want of a people, whoso chief sorrow in their reverses has been the hopelessness of giving their children a res? pectable education.

Another youth goes on to entor from this sohool on tho 19th of January-a youth who has been with us from tho begiuning, who has studied with groat industry and faithfulness, and has ac? complished in one year as much as is general? ly done in two. The Baltimore Gazette says: ?* Although tho sooioty has been scarcely a year in existence, it is evident that the gene? rous assistance given by Ualtimoro and New York has not only been productive of much real good, but has given such encouragement to a disheartened poople, that the schcol is al? ready in the way to bo supported by its friends at and near home. The monthly receipts from the pu-ents and friends of scholars already roach au important amount, and as the condi? tion of the South continues to improve, it is very evident that tho citizens ot the different Southern States will gradually be able to p. o ?&dfl for their own schools.

TUE Chit I M FEMALE. An Austere Type ot* the Modern Betsy .ir ot wood. lt "rom the London Saturday Review.] The grim female must be carfully distin? guished from the masculine women, for they are by no means essentially the same, though the types may run into each other, and some? times do. Bat the maseulino woman, if not S;vim, but onlv Amazonian, has often much hat is flue atm beautiful ia her, as we see in her great prototype Pallas Athene; but the grim female pur sang is never noble, never beautiful; and the only meaning of her exis? tence-the only mission she seems sent into the world to fulfill-is that of serving as a warning to the young as to what to avoid. The grim female is not necessarily an old maid, as would appear likely, at first sight. Wo find her of all conditions indifferently-as maid, wife, widow, aa mother and childless alike and we do not find that her condition in any way affects her character. If she is born grim, she remains grim to the end; and neither mar? riage nor motherhood modifies her. The grim female of novelists is generally an old maid; bot a caricature printed in the broa lest lines and from the outsides of things. She is em? phatically an odd woman; odd in her dress, her mode, ber state. She wears a flapping oap, skimpy skirts, and rusty brown mittons on her bony hands; she has a passionate aver? sion to men and matrimony; and she lives queerly behind a barricaded house door, with a small slavey, or au elderly female a??ioiod with deafness, to do her work and bear the brunt of her temper. But She is always odd and unfashionable, and unlike everybody else, and could never be mistaken for an ordinary woman, from the first moment when she ap? pears on the page to the last paragraph of her existence. * One characteristic of the grim female is her 5ant of any ot the womanly passion for chil ren. She ma/ have BO much maternal in? stinct perverted as to be ou friendly terms with ? dog or two, or a oat, or maybe a coola? too; bili she has no reul affection for children, no comprehension of ohild nature, and tho "sublime nonsense" of the nursery i-t a thing unknown to her from first to last. If she has children of her own. she treats them in a hard wooden way that has nothing of the ideal motlier about it. Henee she is one to whom the present generation is undeniably worse than the past, ono who groans over the follies aud shortcomings of the times, and who thinks that good conduo t died out with her own youth, and that it is not likely, by tho look of things, to be restored. In fact, youth itself is the root and basis of, offence; and if she coerces chil? dren, she tyrannises over girls and snobs young men with a quite impartial hand. The grim female is not necessarily a strong minded woman, or a learned woman, like those who wear spectacles, go to scientific meetings, and aro great in the classics ?nd the *ologies. She may be of the emancipated doss; it all depends on clunce; and a grim female, when of the emancipated, is a very formidable per? son indeed; but she is not necessarily oho of these. On the contrary, part of her very grim? ness conlea from her intense conservatism and Uncompromising conventionality. Nothing is ao abhorrent, to her ai innovation or novelty in any shape. Suo (Loos not ho d with any one out of the narrowest groove of respectable be? liefs, in what duvet ion soever, tho diverging lino may go. A Romanist ora Baptist, a Jew or an infidel, it is ali one to her; each is equal? ly dreadful to h jr? and eternally: foredoomed. ? She is the OrthJ?OX'Church, without fal? lal*; n? removed tren Ritualism as Sud ts from ranting, and douwndmg for herself that iafimiuiiity ui judgment aud absolute posses? sion of the truth w.uch she denies to the Pope ?nd all his cardinals. Beware how you broach nsw doctrines in her presence. She ha? been known before now to abjuro ber nearest re?a? twos for no greater m nal lapse than a weak boho? in globule?; wuilo aa for anything like graver aberrations, say on the ape theory or on the plurality ot races, or on historical re? ligion, she has no toleration whatever. If the Smithfield fires existed at the present day, the grim female would ha the ?rot to light the fagots. It ls all the same if she belongs to any dissenting pei suasion, part of her grimaces coming from ber in olerai.ee, ana her own ber liefs being simply the springboard on which abe stands. ... The ?rim female trie* ber strength with all new-comers. Shs is Uko ono of the giants or blank knights of old remano?, who lived in castles or oaves, whoyeo they pounced lise tigers on ali passers-by. and either wrong their necks it they conquered, or retreated bowling if diseomfitted. Thia is what the grim female does in her degree. She dashes on ail who 1 aro presented to hor, and Las a passage of arms os tbo first act of the now drama. If hor opponents yield out of timidity or good breed? ing, or perhaps, from not undemanding tho warlike na'uro of tho encounter, she puts her foot on thom forthwith, and ignominiously crushes them; if they defy hor, and givo her back blow for blow, ten to one she cutB them, and becomes their enomy forever after. For she has not breadth enough to bo magnani? mous, and tho ono thing sho never forgives is successful opposition. Very grim is Bhe in the proseuco of human weakness, moral and phy? sical. A grim fomalo baa no mercy. She may bo just, but if she is 60 it is in a hard, uncompro? mising way that makes her justico worse than others partiality. For justico can bo sad, even if unwavering; and tho grim ten?alo ?B never ead, how painful soever the work on hand and tho sentence to bo executed. Neither is she gay; for sho is not plastic enough to be cithor tho ono or tho other. She is run into an iron mould where her nat uro is compress? ed as in a vico, no bursting of bonels anyhow. What would become of us if all our women wei o like her? When wo look at her, wo aro inclined to for? give all tho smallness and silliness which some? times vex us in tho ordinary woman, and t think that there are worse things tb an tho love of dress for which wo so often reproach our wives and daughters; that flirting-which is reprehensible no doubt-might ho ox changed for some thing oven moro reprehensi? ble; and that vauity of tho giggling, coquet? tish kind, though to bo steadily encouraged, and stonily reproved, is not quito thc worst tominme thing after all. Surely not 1 A grim female who cannot flirt nor gigglo, nor cry and kiss aud make up when scolded, is far away a worse kind of thing than a feather headed little puis who ie always doing wrong by reason other foolish brain, but who mana? ges somehow to pull horsclf right because of her loving heart. Weak women, vain women, aflected women and tho whole class of silly women, whatever the specialty of silliness ex? hibited, aio tiresome onough, heavon knows; but unsatisfactory as thoy are, they aro better than tho grim fomalo-that woman of no sex, born without softness orBympalhy, anet living without pity and without love.
