A GRACEFUL OFFERING. Presentation of a Service of Plate by the Chamber of Commerce to their ti Presidcnt, Colonel A. O. Andrews. Colonel A. 0. Andrews is so well known and so popular with the whole mercantile co-amui /of Charleston, that his retirement from the position of President ot tho Chamber of commerce, which he bad so honorably belo lor twelve years, was seized as a proper aud welcome occasion for pro-ent ?cg him a testimonial, not only of the regard and respect of his fellow-eitizeus, but of their appreciation of the zeal with which he had steadily labored for the advancement of the public good. The committee charged with the preparation of the testimonial found no difficultio-i in their way; and it may not be improperio say that many of our merchants and business men, not numbers of the Chamber, begged to be permitted to subscribe, so tbat the testimonial might have, if possible, a broader meaning and wider significance than it could possess as the grace fut offering of our time-honored Chamber of Com? merce. Thc presentation of the testimonial was expected to take place at a frectal meeting of the Chamber he'd \\ H tc: Ja j at bali pa.-.t twelve o'clock, by which j hour thc large hall of lac Stat': Bank was weil filled with the members. As tho meeting was about to bc called to order a ponderous walnut caso wasTnousbt in an 1 set upon the table ia front of thc President's chair. This proved to be thc outer garment of the testimonial, which consisted of a salver, pitcher and two goblets of solid silver. The wholo set was made expressly for tho occa? sion, under the direction of Mr. A. H. Hayden, tho well known jeweller and t-ilversmith of King-street. Upon each piece were the emblems of commerce and of tho staples of our trade. Cotton and rice were prominent, and with th- m were tho locomotive with its train of cirs and th?? steamship and sailing vessel deep laden with precious freight. Upon the salver and each of thc other p'cecs was the follow iog inscription: "The Charleston Chamber of Commerce to Augustus Oliver Andrews, for twelve years i is Pr? si dent. A token of the respect and affection ol its n-embers. Feb. 8th. 18G9." The ease which hold the pieces of plate is of wal? nut, and is lined with fine purple velvet When the testimonial had been sufficiently ad? mired, the Chamber was called to ord- r by the Pres? ident, Bob?rt Mure, Esq., and the Committee on Memorials, by their chairman. Henry Gourdin, Efq , submitted the following re; ort: The committee appointed by the Chamber to pro cure a suitable memorial to be presented to ex-Prs s dent Andrews, bav? s lee ted a silver pitchi r of antique sh-po. with two goblets and a silver fitting neatly In a box of blaek walnut. They are massive, and ate ornamented with tho cotton plant, sheaves ot rice, cotton bales and rice tierces, emblems of the staple produc?s of thc South, as well as of the commerce of Charleston, while steamships railroads and telegraph wires aie symbols of the genius aud enterprise of the agc. The inscription is : " The Charleston Cham bor of Commerce to Augustus Oliver Andrews, for twelve years its presid-nt, a token of thc respect and affection of its members." The inscription records the services rendored by Colonel Andrews to th? Chamber as its president durin; a period of twelve years, and briefly, but truthfully, expresses what your committee arr as? sured is the sentiment of the Chamber, aud which they desire to convey to him with this testimonial.

We remember, sir, with grateful feel? ings, thatdurimr the twelve years you have filled tho offloe of our chief executive, your devotion to the in? terest ot our Chambo.', and your zeal iu piouiotlog it, have elioited eur warm admiration. We all feel that on the occasion of your retirement from the executive chair ot our Chamber, something more than ??rds waa due to express our apprectationof your long and valued service?-our high esteem tor you an our friend and coun-ellor.

Keepit sir, and it will serve to recall many plea-.ant hours of sieial reunion and busiuess intercourse. Keep it, for it is intended by your fellow-members as th? embodiment of the tributary meed, the grateful, heartfelt plaudit-" Well done." Colonel Andre v. s responded as follows: Jfr. President and Gentlemen of the Chamber of Commerce-There are some occasions which lift up our nature-we feel the jar and soil and rough attri? tion which make np so much oi Ute's daily struggle, give way, abaabel. The nobility of our nature then comes forth m something of ber primeval majesty. She puta on br? kingly robes. We are conscious that gentler and sweeter and grander chords are struck whose vibration is from above. It is well tbat it is so-for as we teel tho sweep ot their golden mu-ic waking us up to loltlcr and kindlier in? fluences, we take fre-h heart and a stronger courage for the unnmshed tasks vot before us. Such an occasion, m>? friends, you have made for me io-day. These buiu'lful memorials of your generous ap? preciation make me dumb as to any expression of gratitude. There is an impressive legend of St. Angastine, the application of which 1 now vividly feel. Over? whelmed with the weight of bis meditations, and utterly unable to give tuena adequate expression, he sought ibe seashore for relief. lie had not wander? ed tur when on angelic child was BOO ii, just before , him, disporting on the beach. With one of the shells cast up by the surf, he brought water .'rom tho ocean, which he poured into a little cavity dug in tho sand by his May hands. The great Eather stopped and watched me process. At last, struck by the child's continu el persis'ence in his work, iu a merry tone he asked him. ''What does't thou, my dear child?" '-lam seeking to empty this ocean into thehole which I have dug.'' ' impossible!" ex? claimed the saint. "Not more impossible. Augus? tine, than your attempt to nive expression to your thoughts 1" Indulge me, my friends, if! learn a lessou from this little child, aud refrain from any at? tempt to empty my ocean of gratitude. And yet these c?r?monie* of to-day have a signifi? cation dee- er and wider than any mere relation to the humble individual with whom they are immedi? ately associated. While they mu-t always bc a re? minder to him, of the long years ot service, so plea? santly rendered, m common with many now around me, they als i utter a lanauago full of stimulation to those who, fresh in their zeal and ?trong tn their en? ergies for the competitions of lifo, desire, wc trust, to have all these radiate as around a lunrnou- cen? tre, in the promotion ol' the common we;U, and the enrichment, by all honorable accessions, of our hon? ored old mother-this near and noble old city-still rich in so nian> things; rich in ber untarnished pa-t; rich inlier t-tupeiidou- sacrifices; but richest ot all. in the unchanging affection of her children.
