OPENING OF THK PUBLIC READING-ROOM AND LimtART FOR APPRENTICES.-The movement among the white workingmen of Charleston, though commenced by a few hopeful spirits, already shows encouraging signs of what may be done by earnest hearts and willing hands. There are few cities in the Union, of the size of Charleston and of equal commercial importance, that do not offer their working classes the bene? fits of free rei ding-rooms, evening schools and lectures. It wis to remedy this want, and, if possible, to advance the condition of the work? ing classes, that meetings were held, plans dis? cussed, and avigor?os nnited action commenced that has resulted in the creation of a reading and lecture-room. The building known as the "Old Picket Guardhouse," on the Citadel Green, was procured, divested or its military character and transformed into a place where thc kindlings of genius could be encouraged, and the working? man taught that mind was superior to matter. The south wing or the building has keen ar? ranged for a lecture room ,'and ls; furnished with benches and a rostrum for the speaker. It is well lighted and Is capable or seating between two hundred and three hundred people. On the opposite side of the archway is the read lng-room and library. The former is a large room with reading-desks and tables, that are already graced with a goodly quantity of newspaper literature, from all parts of the country. The library is yet to be formed, but some donations have been made, and books will soon be for th com in g. The intcqfen* of both wings of the building have been fitted np In a plain, but substantial manner, and the reading-room has already become a popular resort among artisans of every branch. Hie meeting last night was called for the pur? pose of organizing and electing officers and by 8 o'clock a large number or per? sons from all classes, but principally mechanics, were present. Mr. James M. Rabb called the meeting to order, and explained briefly that its object was to form an association and to conduct a library and reading-room. He trusted that they would be encouraged to oarry it on, and hoped that all present would lend it their cordial aid and support. On motion, Mr. W. F. Paddon was then called to the chair, and Messrs. Wm. F. Dunlap and J. J. Milligan requested to act as secre taries. Mayor Pillsbury, who was prosent, declined to preside, the chair having been tendered him by , { Mr. Paddon. Mr. Rabb moved that the chair appoint a com? mittee of five, who would nominate a board of directors. Messrs. Rabb, Fisher, Brower, Ma? tonee and Chapin were appointed, and retired to I consult. The Rev. J. T. Wightman, in response to numerous calls, then addressed the meeting. He said that he reit some embarrassment at stepping beyond his usual sphere, and would rather set at their feet and learn, but thought, that as the clergy were usually called upon to aid in the J j baptism of any new enterprise, he accepte 1 the position assigned him. Arter congratulating his hearers on their organization, and commending the progress already made, he referred to the Ap? prentices' Library, and spoke or the aid and encouragement lt had given In the | . past to thc very class that have now formlfa an association with a similar object In view, thc creation of a reading-room and .library for mechanics and apprentices. The first library had been destroyed by Ure, and Its books were scattered aud lost daring the war. This rises Phconix-llkc on the ashes of its predecessor, | j and would doubtless prove a worthy son of a no- ' "ble sire. Remunerative labor depended on the | ? igrude of the skill employed. If a man prererrcd the dull routine or a pack-horse, he could work ai a low rate and seek no further advancement; but 11 If he has the promptings or genius, he will feel . that his mind ls superior to his employment, and ' will thrust himself forward, and will use his ac? tive capacity to raise sad benefit hi msc lr. Mr. Wightman described in graphic language the gradual improvement of the untutored mind | - by Hie advancement of ideas gained from obser? vation and close attention. The rude canoe of thc savage gave place to the sail boat, which was improved until the era or steam made the ocean | l the great highway or travel. So it was with other discoveries. God had given man a mind en? kindled with thonght, and by economizing time, learning how labor may be saved, and then adapt? ing the crude ideas, advancement was certain. The mechanics ot Charleston labored under- many -embarrassments. The war had interrupted all educational facilities, and numbers have grown np without the benefit of an academic course. Tho proposed library and reading-room was adapted for such persons, as it offered food far reflection and give hints how they could become more useful members of society. Tu e speaker dwelt upon the many advantages of Charleston, and spoke of the bright future that was in store for it as one of the great commercial seaports of the Unlosj, In closing he congratulated his hearers i on the effort now being made to rise above their | former level, and impressed upon them the ract I that remunerative labor is only gained by master ' lng'be .rade or business, and not remaining at one standpoint. | t Mr. W. P. Russell, In response to numerous calls, said that lt gave him pleasure to address his fellow-craftsmen on a subject In which he took deep Interest. He thought that the present move- | | ment was the first determined effort that had been made to elevate the workingman for twenty I ' years, and pledged his hearty co-operation in auy measure that looked to that end. Mr. Russell ?poke ot the beneficial workings of similar insti? tutions la other cities, and said that wherever they were started, the condition of the mechanics had been improved. He urged a continuance of the good work, and bade it God-speed. The committee having returned, presented the names of the following gentlemen as the board of j directors, who were unanimously elected : W. P. Russell, J. C. Mallonee, W. S. Henerey, W. w. Webb, J. M. Rabb. Rev. W. W. Hicks, W. F. Pad don. Wm. Brower, Sr, W. Fisher, II. J. Frazer, Rev. J. T. Wightman, L. T. Potter. AU business relative to the further organiza? tion was left to the directors, who were empow? ered to call a meeting and report at an early day. On motion, the thanks of the meeting were tend ?red to the Kev. J. T. Wightman, Mr. W. P. Rus? sell and the presidlug offlcen. The meeting then Adjourned.

PATRICK'S DAT. lt* Celebration by thc Hibernian and St. Pat ric kV Societies. 1 he morning of St. Patrick's Day was ush? ered in with cold gray skies, cutting winds, and every other feature of the weather that denoted a disagreeable day to be forthcoming. Nothing daunted, however, by thc cheerless day, the faithful sons of the Emerald Isle made every pre? paration to celebrate the anniversary of their Patron Saint in a way worthy of him ?nd of them? selves, which they did. Thc events and festivities of thc day are duly chronicled below : The Hibernian Society. This ancient society celebrated its anniver? sary yesterday at the Hibernian Hall. At the business meeting held in thc morning, thc follow? ing officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: John F. O'Neill, president; General James Conner, vicepreshjpt; Thomas O'Brien, treas? urer; James Armstrong, secretary; John Barns, hallkeeper; committee on finance, B. O'Neill, A. P. Caldwell, James Mcconkey, T. S. O'Brien, H. F. Baker; committee on relief, M. P. O'Connor, W. H. Houston, G. A. Bowman. J. M. Mulvany, C. C. Trumbo; committee on letters, James Cantwell, J. H. Murrell, John Kenny, W. E. Howland, W. Knox. In the evening, at the same place, thc anniver? sary dinner was served by the proprietors of thc Mills Honse In the style so characteristic of that splendid establishment. Messrs. Otto Pfaehler and August Veladon, who were in charge of the culinary arrangements, deserve special mention for the admirable manner in which they per formed their duties. John F. O'Neill, Esq., president of the society, presided, and, after thc removal of the cloth, an? nounced the Hist regular toast as follows: The Day we Celebrate-Dear to the hearts of Irishmen and thc sons of Irishmen. Hs return rekindles the flame of love, faith and patriotism in their bosoms, in every region of the globe. We send our voice and cheer to our brethren, scattered as they may be, who, like us, assemble tlUs day ro do lt honor. This was responded to by General James Con? ner, who, being loudly called for, acknowledged the compliment in one of those short, pithy and brilliant speeches which make him a welcome guest at every festive gathering of thc men of Charleston. Paying a handsome compliment to the memory or St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ire? land, General Conner dwelt In eloquent terms on the glorious history or the nation, first redeemed from heathenism by the preaching of the Saint. Then, passing to more modern limes, he spoke of the valuable contributions made by Irish blood and Irish wor:h to the history of our own State. He instanced the heroic conduct of Jasper, ai Fort Moultrie, an Irish hero In the first scene of the first Revolution, and that of the last Governor of South Carolina, a descendant of Irish ances? try, occupying a prominent place in the last pic? ture of the last Revolution. This allusion to ex Governor Magrath elicited loud and prolonged applause, and, as soon as that subsided, General Donner read the second regular toast, as follows: Ireland-The land of our sires, or past glories, and ot great men, warriors aud statesmen. May the Eternal Providence so work for her deliver? ance as to restore to her, In the future, all the Stories of the past. It was generally known that Hon. A. G. Ma? grath, so pointedly alluded to by General Conner in his concluding remarks, would respond to this toast, and the silence ot deep attention awaited the distinguished orator as he arose. A modest expression or doubt as to his fitness ror thc task imposed upon him; an eloquent tribute to the founders or the society with whom he bad asso? ciated in early lire, and a touching allusion to the j fact that he was the only survivor of all the ex presidents of the society whose portraits hung upon the wall, formed a fitting prelude to a brief ? mt stirring speech, which, alluding to the slml arity of thc condiiion of Ireland and thc South Stn United States, reached the hearts of his ' mdlence and brought forth repeated rounds of j ipplause. Arter paying a deserved tribute to thc nemory of Captain William Ryan, returning thc ( lomplemcnt of General Conner with Interest, and ( endcring a just meed of praise to the gallant 'aptain Armstrong, Governor Magrath concluded rith the following sentiment: ( Ireland-May Providence so work ont her de iveranee as to restore to her In the future aU thc - dories of the past. Vice-president R. S. Bruns then announced thc i hird regular toast as rollows: i The State or South Carolina-Our home, though I ?tut clad In sackcloth, and but slowly emerging rom her ruins. Let it be ever present to our , ninds as a patriotic duty, to strive for her resto anon to power, prosperity and honor. I William E. Mikel!, Esq., responded in a spirited i ind earnest address on the political situation of his State, which was loudly applauded, and < icemcd to meet with the general approval of his i learers. He called on the young men of the 1 state to form a p J r'.y or progress, and ir need be, o choose new leaders, and under their command 1 o storm the walls of power and authority and re- I leem the State from oppression and ruin. i The fourth regular toast was then read as roi- 1 ows: I The City or Charleston-Our City by the Sea- I mee a mistress of commerce on that grand do- \ nain, it is still within the power or hersons, brough will, raith, energy ami industry to recov? er for her her former empire. non. Wm. Whaley, who wa3 expected tore ipond to this toast, having been unfortunately prevented from attending, his place was taken by \.. T. Smythe, Esq., who did Justice to the subject a an extempore address or much tact and spirit. , The firth regular toast: Tho Judiciary-Amcug the most noble securities or a free people, when confided to thc pure, die able, the just ard conscientious. With apure 1 udtciary, a free people, a responsible jury and 1 ..quai laws, all the bulwarks or liberty are secure, ,vas responded to by Hon. George S.Bryan, In us usual highly finished and interesting style, -ivetlng the attention or his audience, and doing \ lonor to the important branch or the govern? ment which he represented. Judge Bryan con? cluded with thc following appropriate sentiment: Ireland-lier highest hope, her best estate, to je an equal member of the British Empire.. The sixth regalar toast was as follows : The Press-The most potent among oil thc rotees of the people, lt needs only that people ind press shall be true to themselves, and to one mother, and they are both sure of equal progress ind perpetuity. Responded to by J. Barrett Cohen, Esq., tn a brief resume of the tremendous influence of the press m the history or thc world. In announcing the seventh regular toast, W. \. Courtenay, Esq., one or the vice-presidents or .his brilliant gathering, arose, and said: Mr. President and brother members of the Hibernian Society-I have the honor to announce the leventh regular toast embodying a sentiment which wiU find a spontaneous response through jut this orowded assembly of the loyal sons or St. Patrick, as well as ror the congratulations and rood wishes which lt con Ays to sister societies aboring tn the genial duties or our respective or? ganizations, as in the fact that lt will draw a re? sponse from one, [checrsl who, In his own person, yplrJcs these charitable and social qualities Thtch have gathered around him, in the bonds er i long continued and lasting fellowship, a large circle of appreciative ?nd devoted friends. [Ap? plause.] Our Sister Societies-Worthy and honored co aborers with ourselves In the goodly vineyard of .ife and society. Responded to by Richard Yeadon, Esq., in his usual felicitous manner. Notwithstanding age und Illness, Mr. Yeadon still retains a remarkable legree or that vivacity and power or will which have made him a good mau and inestimable Silixen. The eighth regular toast was then read : Woman-Last, not least. First in our thoughts ind hearts; the bright uer of life, the charm er society, the housenold graces, the crowning girt jr a loviug God to the highest desires of hu? manity. * Responded to by Wm. Tennent, Esq., in a man? ner which should make him forever hereafter a special favorite with the gentler sex. And so ended tile formal celebration of St. Patrick's Day; but many volunteer toasts an* volunteer speeches sprung from the genial con? viviality which followed. St. Patrick's Benevolent Society. This society celebrated its flfty-rourth anniver? sary and St. Patrick's Day, with more formalities perhaps, than its sister society, thc Hibernian, but tn a uo less pleasant and enjoyable manner. Early in the morning lue members assembled ! at the Masonic Hall, and from there proceeded to St. Patrick's Church, where, at hair-past ten o'clock, Rev. Father John Moore delivered an ora? tion peculiarly appropriate to the day. After the oration, the society, about two hundred strong, and headed by Muller's brass band, para? ded through thc principal streets. On returning to the Masonic Hall, a collation was partaken of, arter which the following oniccrs were elected and committees appointed for the ensuing year: Rev. Father C. J. Croghan, president; Jame3 Cosgrove first and Thomas Maher second vice presidents; Jnmes F. Slattery, treasurer, and W. Baker, secretary. Michael Fisher, J. M. Barry, J. Dothage, J. C. Kennedy, J. M. Mulvany, ana M. Caulfield, committee on finance. Thomas Mur? phy. James Rahall, John Flynn, Patrick Conroy, Michael Kelly, committee on relief. Patrick Ken? nedy and Michael Duane, committee on letters. At 8 o'clock the members reassembled in the Masonic Hall and partook of a banquet. At 0 o'clock the table was cleared, and Mr. James Cos? grove, first vice-president, who was presiding, called the society to order and said: H Gentlemen and brother members of the SL Patrick's Benevolent Society-The duty, and I caa say pleasure, or addressing you this evening de? volves on me. It ls with reelings or the deepest regret and heartfelt sorrow that I announce to you that the in disposition or our worthy, reverend and honored president, prevents him from participating in the festivities of thia our glorious and time-honored national day. Fully confident am I that our eloquent president would be more competent to commence the evening's proceedings, but as I am not unacquainted with your leniency and generosity, I will endeavor to supply his place as well as my poor abilities will permit. After he had concluded,-the Mayor and Alder? man Greene were introduced. Alderman Greene introduced the Mayor by stating that, though a stranger to most of those present, yet he was the best friend the Irishmen had. The Mayor then thanked the society for the Invitation tendered bim and sat down. The following regular toasts were then drank: 1 he Day we Celebrate-Endeared tous by the most pleasing reminiscences, may each annual recurrence find us. la equal numbers and enthu? siasm, doing ample honor to it. Responded to by Mr. James Power, Head Centre of the Fenian Brotherhood. Ireland-The land or lofty patriotism, or bril? liant services. May tho day not be rar distant when the banner of nationality, blazoned with harp and sunburst, will float in triumph over her castle walls. Responded to by John M. Touhey. South Carolina-The home of our choice. While we now mourn over her misfortune, yet we hope soon to rejoice over her prosperity. Responded to by Alderman J. F. Greene. Charleston-The Queen City or the" South. We yield to none in devotion to her Interests. We long to behold her beauteous bay dotted with the argosies or every nation and her marts alive with trade. Responded to by Mayor Pillsbury. Gallant Tipperary-The home or O'Donnovan Rossa-the spirit or "ninety-eight" stlU burns bright in the breasts or their sons. Responded to by Mr. Wm. Baker, secretary or the society. Our Sister Societies-Co-labprers in a like wor? thy oanse. May suecess crowu their efforts. Responded to by Mr. Robert W. Seymour. Woman-Tfte guide or our lnrancy, the com? panion or our manhood, the consolation or our old age-In all her relations she exacts our love and protection. Responded to by Mr. Stephen Maloney. The Press-In honest hands a blessing, In dis? honest bands a curse. Responded to by Mr. Robert W. Seymour. General John O'Neil and the Battle or Ridge? way-Irish valor proved triumphant, and Irish arms routed the enemy on her soil. Responded to by Mr. Stephen Malony. The Oppressed ol every Nation and Clime-May the day or their deliverance soon dawn, when they can walk forth in the invigorating atmos? phere of freedom. Responded to by Mr. Robert W. Seymour. At the conclusion of the response to the last boast, Messrs. Bruns, Grace, O'Neill and Brady were announced as a committee from the Hiber? nian Society to extend cordial greeting. Mr. Drnns Introduced Mr. Grace, the chairman or the committee, who made a neat little speech, ex? pressing the kindred sympathies and reelings or : he two societies, and the wish that they would : iver cherish thc same, ned continue tho good i fork in which they are engaged. Mr. Bruns was then called upon, and made one >f lils graceful, unreportable, applause-creating ; ipeeches. Captain James Armstrong was then called upon, j ind made a most eloquent speech, one that ouched thc hearts or every one present, and elicited the most enthusiastic applause Messrs. Malony, Slattery, Baker and Mulvany : were appointed a committee on the part of thc j 3t. Patrick's Benevolent Soilcty to extend a jreetlng to the Hibernian Society, a. ? i After this, toasts Innumerable for^he success 3f the Irish cause were drank, song3 were sung, ind wit, mirth and happiness prevailed until a ate hoar. We doubt if, since the war, St. Patrick's Day , las been celebrated with more real pleasure than : li ls. All who yesterday did honor to the memo? ry of the Saint seemed to feel that better days ?vere about to dawn for their countrymen and ?he laud of their birth, and, thus Inspired, en ;ered into the festivities of the day with a zeal .viuch was pleasurable to witness.

A few days since, we stated that only five hundred and nine shares of the capital stock of thc company remained to be taken, and that Mr. Langley was on a visit to Charleston to see what could be done lu that city. On yesterday, we were Informed by one of the leading stockholders In this city that the business men or Charleston had sub? scribed to four hundred shares or the stock or the company, leaving only one hundred and nine shares unsubscribed. Thus lt will be seen that not quite eleven thousand dollars are needed to complete the capital which ls required by the charter-three hundred thousand dollars. Thlsf1 small amount will be subscribed in ?very lew days-perhaps has already beeii subscribed-aud the machinery or the corporation will bc puf in motion. The first thing done will be to call a convention of the stockholders and effect an or? ganization or the company."

Canker or dry rot does not blast a tree as suddenly as a stroke of lightning, but unless arrested.it destroys it as certainly; and In like manner chronic debility, although lt docs not kill with the swiftness of yellow fever, ls as sure to sap thc springs of lire eventually as any acute disease, If not checked by invigorating medication. There ls something inexpressibly touching in the spectacle or premature decay. Langor, pallor, emaciation, depression ot spirits, and a distaste for exertion, are its ordinary symp? toms, and they should be promptly met by tonic treatment. The best invlgorant and exhllarant that can bc administered In a case of this kind ls HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. The stimu? lating principle of thc preparation rouses thc dor? mant energies of the system, and thc strengthen? ing and regulating properties give a permanent and healthful Impulse to the vital forces thus brought into play. Thc falling appetite ls re? awakened, thc process of digestion and assimila? tion are quickened, the quality of thc blood ls im? proved, the secretions become more natural, and every organ that contributes to the nourishment of the body undergoes salutary change. By these means thc repair of the physical structure ls effected and Its health and vigor restored. In no class of diseases has thc beneficent operation or thc Bitters been more marked and striking than In those characterized by general debility and nervous prostration. Ladles afflicted with these ailments And In this most wholesome of all tonics and correctives the safest and surest means of renoir*"! t is strong to restore and powerless to Injure.

C tnt ES CUOLIC, CHOLERA INFANTUM, DYSENTERY, AND ALL DISEASES TO WHICH CHILDREN ARB SUBJECT WHEN rEETUINO. CONTAINS NO ANODYNE. RUSSELL'S SOOTHING CORDIAL fa offered to Ute public with an absolute guarantee against all danger from its use. Read thc following certifi? cates: CHARLESTON, May 16,1868. Mr. J. B. RUSSELL, one of our careful and intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by him. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of Ita safe and efficient adaptation to the particular cases of the diseases of children, which, lt ls designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial in severe cases of Bowel Com? plaints In children and delicate females, I have been much pleased with its effects. I consider lt a valuable medicine in all coses, in which it may be advisable to avoid the nse of anodyne, and par? ticularly for family use, as lt is perfectly safe, W. T. WRAGG, M. D. CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1888. I certify that I have most successfully asea RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial in the Snmmer Com? plaints of infants. He has fully exhibited the In? gredients of his remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. I recognize the prescription containing no anodyne whatever-?s a most safe and efficacious one in bowel affections of children. When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to the pre? scribed doses of the Cordial according to the age of the patient. The compound, though more often, acts in an efficient manner without any ad? dition of anodyne. In the Diarrhoea of tug aged, in Increased doses, lt ls of great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with the stomach-increasing appetite, im? proving digestion, and acting a* a Blow but effi? cient astringent agent. W^0L FITCH, M. D. CHARLESTON, S. C., 1868. Dear Slr-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrhoea In teething children, and find it a very excellent preparation. It has a great advantage over most preparations of the kind in containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can be added in proportions applicable to the case. I therefore can recommend its use in the affec? tions for which lt ls designed. Respectfully yours, Ac, T. L. O GIER, M. D. MOOT PLEASANT, S. C., 1868. Mr. J.JB. Bussell : DEAASIR-I have used your Soothing Cordial for chfldren extensively in my practice, and most cheerfully testify .to its merits. I have found it, without an exception, to accomplish all lt claims, t and consider it superior to anything in use for children. Its freedom from anodyne of any kind recom-* mends it as a perfectly safe preparation In the bands of mothers and inexperienced nurses. Very respectfully, Ac, . . D. R. WILLIAMS, M. D. Made by J. B.
