The Synod of South Carolina was convened in the Presbyterian Church in Chester,on the even? ing of the 20th inst Present, Rev. A. A. Morse, of Greenwood, S. C., Moderator of last Synod, and presiding officer of the body until the elec? tion of his successor; Rev. Wm. Banks, stated clerk, thirty-six ministers and thirty-five ruling elders, representing the four Presbyteries, South Carolina, Harmony, Bethel, and Charles? ton-this number was subsequently increased by the arrival of about twenty more delegates making In all ninety representatives. Besides, there were eighteen students from the Theo glcal Seminary at Columbia, and Professor Charles W. Lane, of Oglethorpe University, Ga,, Rey. Dr. E. T. Baird, of the Synod of Vir? ginia, Rev. Messrs. John Douglass, R. Z. John? ston, R. B. Alexander and J. H. Colton, of the Synod of North Carolina, and Rev. R. W. Brice of the Associated Reformed Church, cor? responding members. Whole number pre? sent about one hundred and fifteen. The Chester Reporter says : OPENING. Agreeable to custom the Synod was opened by a sermon from the Rev. A. A. Morse, the retiring Moderator, ?v?ter which the body proceeded to the election of a Moderator, which resulted in the choice of the Rev. D. K. Frlerson, of Harmony Presbytery. The Rev. J. B. Mack was then elected temporary clerk, and the Rev. W. A. Gregg as? sistant clerk. At nine o'clock A. M, on Thursday the t tstness of the body was regularly commenced. PRESBYTERIAN INSTITUTION'S OP LEARNING. Drs. Howe and Plumer gave most encouraging accounts of the floirlshing condition of the Theo? logical Seminary at Columbia, which, despite the disasters of war, is fast regalulng its former prosperous condition; numbering thirty students at present, with prospects of increase. J. L. Harris, Esq., commissioner on the part of the Presbyterian Churches of Atlanta, presented 1 their request that Oglethorpe University, located near MiUedgevlUe, Ga., and ander the joint con? trol of the Georgia and South Carolina Synods, be removed to the City of Atlanta-said ohurches offering the som of $40,000 to effect such an end. Much debate arose upon the question, during which Professor C. W. Lane, of Oglethorpe, de? livered a most touching and eloquent speech, re? viewing the past of Oglethorpe, flourishing, hon? ored, and mach sought after, and picturing her present, with her halls of learning deserted, her patrons dead or Impoverished, her officers crip? pled, and all but helpless. Yet, withal, he was in opposition to the transfer. The buildings at Oglethorpe, we understand, cost $60,000. If At? lanta be very desirous for the university, she should offer at least $100,000. The whole matter was finally referred to the Synod of Georgia for action. Professor J. M. Anderson, of Davidson College, made a flattering report of the prospects of that institution. More than one hundred students are now within ber walls. Mr. Charles Martin, for? merly of Cbaiiel Hill, and now of Columbia, Ten? nessee, has recently been made a professor therein. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The church in South Carolina, according to all accounts, has never had greater reason to feel hopeful for her future. The rude hand of war had destroyed in. many places her altars, had stricken down many who would have proved themselves faithful soldiers of Christ, and had left her surviving children in the depths of pov? erty and ruin, yet in the face of all this she ls saying, Resurgam. Several new chnrches have been organized. Three ministers, Rev. Messrs. T. R. English and W. C. Sutton, of Harmony Pres? bytery, and Rev. D. Humphreys, of South Caro? lina Presbytery, have departed tlis life during the present year. Many young men arc looking forward to the ministry, of which there arc now eight licentiates and nineteen candidates. UOWE]3 HISTORY OF THE CHURCH. Dr. Howe announced that the History of thc Presbyterian Church of South Coralina, for which be hod been collecting material for thc last twen? ty years, was now ready for publication, but that the sam of six hundred dollars was necessary to have lt stereotyped. Cotonou J. ll.- Taylor, of Charleston, and J. R. Aiken, of Wlnnsboro'. very generously guaran? teed tue som oz two-haadrcd dollar? ouch, and the remaining two hundred donara was aoon made sure. This ls a work1 dating back td 1670, and will prove of great value to till; connected with the church as there always must be much of secular interest, not only will the churchman, but the outsideWOTld find much to instruct them In its perusal. ? FOREIGN MISSIONS. On Foreign Missions, Dr. Wilson, secretary of the Board of Missions, and formerly missionary to Africa, gave a most interesting statement of the condition and prospects of the missionary work, interspersing his remarks with pertinent anecdotes and illustrations, derived from his own experience among thc heathen. He was followed by Rev. J. H. Colton, missionary to thc Choctaw Indians, from North Carolina, by . >v. E. T. Buist, and by Rev. J. L. Glrardeau, ? f whom strongly advocated the missionary ca.: . Beginning with Wednesday evening. - nnons were preached at the appointed hours, by Rev. A. A. Morse, Rev. J. o. Lindsay, Rev. Dr. Buist, Rev. Dr. .Heard, Rev. G. W. Boggs, C. W. Laue, Dr. Flamer and R. H. Reid. On Saturday evening the Synod adjourned to meet at Anderson Courthouse, Wednesday, be? fore the fourth Sunday in October next. , SUNDAY. Appointment of ministers was made to thc va? rious churches, not excepting the African Metho? dist Church. The well known reputation of Dr. Glrardeau drew to the Presbyterian Church to which he hud been assigned a large crowd in the forenoon, where, as usual, his burning eloquence and whole-souled earnestness failed not to arouse all the feeling of his hearers. Owing to a mis? take there was no service at the Methodist Church. Rev. J. B. Mack preached to a large number of colored people at the African Metho? dist Church in the forenoon, who gave to him thc greatest attention and were much pleased. In the forenoon Dr. Glrardeau delivered one of those irrestitiiy eloquent sermons for which he ls so dis? tinguished to several hundred colored people and a large number of white people in tho court? house. The other churches were filled during the afternoon. 1 i At night the venerable Dr. Plumer, the patri? arch of his church, preached at the Presbyterian Church, and with all his accustomed force and seriousness urged upon bis hearers "not to hear the Gospel in vain." The deliberations of thc Svnod were conducted in so Christian-like a spirit, thc Word was preach? ed with so much eloquence and power, and thc people all were evidently so fully imbued with the holy and healthful atmosphere, for thc time being, sourrounding them, that we hesitate not to say that it was a good thing for the Synod to have been here. FASHIONS FOB GENTLEMEN. Latest Winter Styles. The New "York Mail says: Velvet has become very fashionable for trim ming almost every style of coat. Especially on overcoats, whether Chesterfield or frock, siugle or double-breasted, ithe latter style having thc pre? ference,) we lind lt very much used. Velvet col? lars, lappel facings, frequently the whole of the lappel, the cutf? and edging of velvet to match In color the shade of the cloth, is the style. For those, however, who prefer a more durable edge, a round silk cord is much used, and gives an equally handsome finish. Treble-milled box Meltons and kerseymeres in drabs, olive and lead color, are very fashionable this season for over? coats, though Elyslun beavers of a soft make, In plain colors and mixtures, are much worn, and make a very handsome overcoat. The Prince Arthur frock coat, so called from its being the Prince's favorite garment, is gradually taking the place of the "Princu of Wales" coat for half-dress, the theatre, informal calls, and all other occasion when a dress coat is unnecessary and a business coat ls undesirable. It is made of a fine castor beaver, black, or blue, or olive in dark shades, velvet collar to match, the lappels pointing very much upward, and bound willi a rich, heavy braid. A line white moleskin or heavy Marseilles vest, double-breasted, looks very well with thia coat, and lavender whipcord or ribbed doeskin trousers. Among those, however, who affect the English style, a sealskin vest will be an Indispensable luxury this winter. For business suits, checked patterns still predominate, and made up In thc Beaufort coat are very stylish. The most importaut change lu dress coats ls that they are made with velvet collars, the lappets rolling low to the waist seam, and not sllk-faccd, as formerly. Embroidered vests with Jewelled buttons find considerable favor among our best dressed gentlemen, and will doubtless be much patronized before thc end of the season. In London several of the leading tailors are In? troducing velvet suits for evening wear, the coat lined with White silk, tue trousers being ot vel? veteen, so that in thc courae.oftlme we mar hope for something richer, moro elegant, ami* more consistent with thc magnificent display which our ladies make than tho sombre black which has characterized gentlemen's eveniug dress for thc last quarter of a ecntury. -The Georgia Commissioner for Foreign Immlgra'.on has established heaJqu.vrters at Bremen, and complains that he ?mU a pre? judice prevailing against the countrv and peo? ple of the South. -u MR. GRANT TAKEN TO TASK. Plain 'Talk to Him from Two Leading Republican Papers-Nepotism and Ap? pointments te Onice of. Friends te be Stopped-Strong Opposition Hinted at, [From Cincinnati Commercial, October 23.] General Grant seemed to be a necessity to the Republican party when bc was unanimously nominated by the representatives of that party In convention assembled for the Presidency. He could have got along very well as General Commanding of the Armies, but the party could not get along well without him in the Presidential campaign. Upon becoming Presi? dent, the General seems to have had a full and clear appreciation of thu independeuce of his Sosition. So he made up thc Cabinet, not of istinguished Republican politicians, but of his personal friends. They were all rather Re? publicans than otherwise, but the Cabiuet was fearfully and wonderfully made. The charge has been made that Cabinet appoint? ments occurred because the gentlemen ap? pointed had made presents to General Grant. We do not believe those Dresents had any influence with the President. They ought to have bad au Influence, and it should have pre? vented the appointments. It happened that several among thc valued personal friends of the President gave him money, and that he, careless and indifferent as to that, placed them high iff office. Not only in regard to his Cabi? net, but throughout the country, the President displayed the vividness of lils remembrance and the keenness of his gratitude to bis personal friends. When we come to count up the rela? tives he has appointed to office, they are not very numerous. But he lias appointed person? al friends and the friends ot friends and the favorites of relatives to a degree that ls not credible to his sagacity as a man of the people. In bis announcement that he did not intend to have a policy in conflict with the will of the people he seems to have been entirely sincere. His conduct in office has glveu testimony to the strongest kind- to that effect. Whatever may have been bis shortcomings, he has not been burdened with a policy. So easy ls he on the duties of lils office that he has abundant leisuro, which he spends at the seashore and on the mountains. SOME PLAIN TALK. Somo matters, however, seem to demand thc serious attention of the President. He nos just received a loud warning of the perils hy friends-the dangers of family influences-and the exceeding great hazard of familiarity with New York sharpers. In this part of the country the Influence of j thc President's father lias been absurd and In? jurious. In New York we find a Mr. Corbin, known long ago in the Washington lobby and In Wall street as a shrewd and unscrupulous operator, who, a few months space, assumed the position or brother-in-law of the President, and began presently to speculate In that rola- i tionsblp. lt was his stock in trade. It gave ' him familiarity with Gould and Fisk, the most notorious of the Wall street gamblers. He as? sumed to be able to control appointments in New York. There is too much reason to be? lieve that he did control some of them-per. haps that of General Butterlleld among ot hers When tho President passed through New York, as he was in the habit of doing on his excursions, he was the guest of his brother-in law; and this was entirely natural and proper, I for Mrs. Corbin is his sister, who ls most like bim. and who hos more Influence over him 'than any other member of bis family. Tills was Covington gossip before she was married, and her influence was felt here in Important appointments previous to thal event. PLOUUHIN'U WITH A H KIF Kit. Failing to get his brother-in-law committed in a Wall street speculation, Corbin's next pro-, ceedlng would? of course, be to influence .Mrs. Grant to allow him to make a little money tor her. If thc President and his wife dabbled u little In stocks and gold at thc suggestion and uuder the direction of their brother-in-law with a brown stone front residence, evidently tliey were presently apprised that the transuc i iou was not so distinguished by Innocence as lt had boen represented to them by their bril? liant and persuasive relative. SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. _ Messengers lo Washington, Pennsylvania, and arguments by Jay Goiild, and inquiries by Jim Fisk, meuut something more than any as? sociation of thc President and his family in Wall street speculations, and wasasimple,ordi nary business affair. If thc President was in, lie took cure to get out, and lt ls quite possible that thc consciousness that there had been an elaborate effort to use him hod its influence in causing the peremptory order that he gave, as he says in the Bonner letter, for the sale of gold. . ANb no CT WE LL TOO. While the bulls were at work with the Presi? dent, thc bears seem lo have had thu Secre? tary of the Treasury in hand, and gave him a fine dinner with ihe view of plying him with overwhelming arguments why" he should sell I gold and crush out the rascals. These were re-1 formers in tho same sense that the late nv formers in Hamilton County were- so. They were quite as wicked as Fisk and Gould, Cor? bin or Butterlleld. They were in another ring, that was all. The game wus to steal as bears instead of as bulls. TUE MORAL* Now we hope that In a 1 this the President will learn one useful lesson. It ls In brief: that not cnly is personal government played out in monarchies, but that fuinily influence will not serve any good purpose with a Chief Magis? trate; that In this position all families of hon? est people must be on thu same footing; that the Grants are not in the least better than other folks because he ls President, but are rather to bc discriminated against; that his personal friends must be Judged by their tlt ness rather than their friendship. If he can learn this lesson speedily, and give evidence of Iiis increase of knowledge, the people will be swift to forgive the errors already commit? ted; but if he remains in this particular a dull scholar, the degree of popular impatience that he must encounter may at least surprise him a good deal. Thc Case of General Butterlleld-Grant's Reputation Involved in tho Matter A Limit to thc Patience of thc People. [From the Evening Post, October 20.] General Butterfield may ask to bc court martialled, and the President may, if lie likes, grant Iiis request. But in the meantime But? terfield ought at once to resign the place of Sub-Treasurer; and if he does not the Presi? dent ought to suspend lum. General Butter? field demands; to be tried by a military court; who is to prefer charges against him ? The President of thc Uuitcd Suites? But if the President formally charges him with mulfcus ance in office is he not bound to suspend him lroin office until the charges are disproved ? Thc expedient Of a trial by court-martial looks suspicious to the public and is ir? regular, and smacks too much of mili? tary despotism to be relished by a free people. The civil oflicers of a free State ought not to be able tims to protect themselves behind a court of military oflicers; it is a bad precedent which General Butterfield seeks to set: one which may lead in time to thc gravest and most dangerous abuses. The President should be told by his friends that he ought not to cause a public scandal by retaining General Butterfield in thc place which he ladds. The appointment of military officers to purely civil service is in itself a praiseworthy custom. There was a general impression that, on ac? cepting the ?ub-treasurershlp, Butterfield had resigned his place iu the army. Certainly he ought to have done so; and if any one hail as? serted, when General Butterfield took charge ol' the treasury, that he would, when charged with misconduct, seek refuge in a military court, tlie public would have been in? dignant. Tim President has been mis? led into making some poor appointments; such as thal of General Sickles to Spain, that of Mr. Washburne to France, and now this of General Butterfield. He lias so firm a hold of the public confidence that the people have been willing to overlook such mistakes; but they have not forgotten them ; and it ls not prudent in the President to put too greata strain upon the people's belief in him. To ap? point an unfit man to place is what probably every Presid? nt may t.o, and is excusable. But to keep a m ?n in place aller his unfitness has become a matter ol' public notoriety is more than any w s ! President will venture on. We trust, therefore, that tho repoit is true which comes tu us from Wasliington, that the administration is now deliberating upo f a flt person to relieve Geccral Butterfield, it need not deliberate long ; it can choose irom seve? ral eminent citizens o? the necessaiy business skill. THINGS AT FLORENCE. Fire-Religions Reviva 1-Business Preparations for Farming. [FROM OUR OWN CORRBSPONDKNT.] FLORENCE, S. C., October 29. For the first time in many months our town has again been the scene of conflagration. At the lower end ol' Front street there are a num? ber of little rough houses, most of them occu? pied as stores by colored merchants. Last night a fire was discovered amongst them, and before anything could be done to arrest the flames two or three of these active little business establishments were destroyed. But for the arrival and efficient service of the "Florence," our fire engine, the whole of that part of oar town would nave been reduced to ashes. The main snfferers, I learn, are Wes. Williams and John Edwards, both colored merchants. So far as known thc fire was ac? cidental. No insurance. At the Baptist Church, conducted by the Rev. J. O. B. Dargan, assisted by Rev. Mr. Menden haul, of Newberry, there has been In progress for several days a series of Interesting meetings, attended with hopeful and encouraging re? sults. These gentlemen have exhibited great earnestness and ability, and, by their elo? quence, have attracted numbers of our people. Under a depressed cotton market business is not quite so active as it has been. Our peo? ple are preparing for another year, by making arrangements l'or corn, bacon, ?fcc. Positive, energetic industry will soon relieve all our embarrassments. PRE sa LEY. THE GOLD SC AND. James Fisk, Jr.'s, Compliment? to Presi? dent Grant-He Speaks his Mind Freely. A Washington dispatch, published in one of the New York papers, quoting President Grant as having spoken In very contemptuous terms of Fisk, Jr., brings out the cheeky Prince ol Erle In the following characteristic communication : , TO TUE EDITOR OF THE WORLD. SIR-In the Washington correspondence of the Herald this morning, I read the following para? graph: "In the course of conversation yo? r correspon? dent remarked upon the bold attemjtt ot Mr. Flak to ubtain from the President advune* Information regarding the financial policy of thejgovernment. The President's reply waa substantially as follows: " ' I don't know but 1 should haveSelt insulted by such a proposal had it come from any other but a person like Fisk. But coming, from a man so destitute of moral character, 1 didn't think it worth noticing.' " My first feeling on reading this was naturally one of indignation, that a gentleman occupying (he highest station in thc land should use such language concerning one with whom he had maintained friendly relations.' and from whom he had received nothing but acts of kind? ness. But, after a moment's reflection, I felt that I was mistaken In attaching tho least importance to.this statement. It ls obviously a nure inven? tion of the venerable Scot who presides over the Herald. It Is simply impossible that the President can have used any such language about mc. Gen? eral (?rant never would have accepted the hospi? tality and shared the table of a mun whom he be? lieved to be so destitute of moral character os this variant pretends. General Grunt spent three hours at my table on one occasion, and made the entire Journey to Boston in my company, as is well known to many gentlemen who were with us, and who know that our relations were of the most friend? ly character. Ile and lils family have repeated? ly accepted trlfliug favors at my hands, of such a nature as are perfectly proper among friends (and which 1 mention now with no intention of Implying that they have placed General Grant un? der any obligation,) but which no gentleman would accept from one whom he did not consider a friend, indeed, so perfectly easy have been thc relations between us, that General Grant has always dispensed with those little formalities of acknowledgment which other gentlemen, equally eminent, but less Intimate with me^Jatve thought it necessary to observe (not ,even inanjxnQ nie firr Vient,) and ihe Humorous little service? which lt hu* been my pleasure to render him have been treated on both sides.as a matter of course, Just us they should be between friends imito at ease with each other. On the very occasion on which this Herald in? ventor pretends that General Grant got so In? sulted, our conversation was most agreeable and lasted nearly an hourj Having thus shown the absurdity of the Herald story, it is not necessary that it should receive any further ru>tice. General Grant cannot bc ex? pected to publish a disavowal of all language that sensational reporters may put in bk) mouth ; and as he has never contradicted one of my state? ments hitherto. I shall not tronble him to confirm this in detail, though he will undoubtedly do so, if called upon.

A Neat Swindle-Thc Ulan who Drew Ute Coliseum Pays only Sixteen Cents for Uta Ticket. A Boston dispatch of Monday, to the New York Tribune, suys : The man who drew the Coliseum has ob? tained a sudden notoriety which will probably be as brief as it is Intense, though it may In? crease his trade by advertising his wares. All through Saturday* afternoon and Sunday thu people were in a feverish state of anxiety to know thu nain? of thu fortunate man; and now that lt has been ascertained that his name is J. L. Maguire, and that he Is a "lumber dealer." thu inattur has a suspicious look. An investi galion showed, and it is publicly announced, that he, with others, entered Into an arrange? ment with thu Coliseum Association lo pur? chase, on Saturday morning, all of thu tickets' which had not brun sold i:t (hat time, lt ls said that bc paid sixteen cents apiece l'or thu tickets, purchasing for that sum ahouL live thousand, while thousands of people had paid one dollar apiece for all thal had buen sold pre? vious to that Ume. It ls said that "other par? ties" who were in partnership with Mr. Ma? guire will have their share of thu 115,000, lor Which thc lumber will sell, if taken by thu builders; but as Mr. M. is a lumber dealer, hu will probably dispose of the component parts of the structure to much better advantage in his own lumber yard. Hiic?i indignation h expressed among Hie disappointed licke: holders, who arc convorsanl with the iac:s, and a management, which would sell one ?c'iut for on? dollar and another for sixteen cunts is denounced in unmeasured tunas. A? it was drawn by a lumber dealer, or by a ring In which a lumber dealer is the central figure, thu public mind is unanimous in con s'derlng the whole lottery a "put np Job." Not many people will go for the lesser prizes, which consist of small pieces of decoration, settees and chairs. Visitors during the Jubilee will remember the wooden chairs and wooden set? tees which had been improvised for the occa? sion, and which are worth Just their weight in kindling wood, as no one wants a souvenir of a Jubilee whose last chapter has been an igno? minious lottery. It is just as well that Mr. P. 8. Gilmore is in Europe at this time, as the projector of what some of tho Boston papers slopplngly called "The Eighth Wonder of the World, would not be such a tremendous hero as he was In June. Ii the Jubilee was the eighth wonder, the great lottery may probably be called "The Ninth Wonder of the World." fHarric?.
