C.," from which we collate the following facts connected with the history of this church, whose bare walls and tower Btand as a monument ot the devastating fire of 1861 : The records of this church were destroyed in the hurricane of 1713, and therefore very little ls known of its early history beyond the tact that "it was constituted ten years after the settlement of the city in 1630." The edifice, which was located on the site of the present ruins, in Meeting street, was long known as "The White Meeting," from the color of its ex teric ?. From this it is claimed that Meeting street derived its name. In 1723, the church building, "but forty feel square and slightly built," ' 'having by long time gone to decay," was repaired by one hundred and four contri? butors, at a cost of a little over eight thous? and pounds. During the Revolutionary war, when the British were in Charleston, they used the church first as a hospital, and afterward as a storehouse for provisions, and when they left "lt was but a shell of the time-honored struc? ture." It was repaired at a cost of six thous? and dollars, and dedicated anew by Rev. Wm. HoUinshead, on the 11th of December, 1783. Previous to the revolution the increasing num? bers of the congregation rendered two houses of worship necessary, and a building was com? menced in Archdale street, but was not com? pleted until 1787. Rev. Mr. Keith was settled as co-pastor with Mr. HoUinshead, the two pastors alternating morning and afternoon in the two churches. On the 13th of February.. 1804, it was resolv? ed to build an entirely new brick church (of a circular form, having eighty-eight feet interior diameter,) at an estimated cost of $60,000. By disposing of the pews about $40,000 were rais? ed, which amount with the subscriptions was sufficient to defray the entire expense. On the 25th of May, 1806, the church was dedicated with an appropriate sermon from-each of the co-pastors. The two churches on Meeting and Archdale streets, associated for nearly twenty years, separated- In July; 1317, by the general consent of those who formerly constituted the one corporation. "The Archdale street Church eventually assumed the name of | 'The Unitarian Church,' which lt still retains." In 1838, a lofty and graceful spire was erect? ed, and in 1853 the church was extensively re? paired, at a cost of $20,000. .In the great fire of 1861 the church was destroyed. The congre? gation worshipped in the Hibernian Hail, in the lecture-room of the Central Presbyterian Church and In the Orphanhouse Chapel, re? spectively, until February li, 1867, when the present lecture-room was ready and dedicated, having been rebuilt by the exertions ot four? teen male members. In a few months after j tfie dedication one hundred and seven of the former white members, and more than fifty :olored members were regathered Into the indent fold. The congregation hope to re? build their church, and a subscription to that end has been Inaugurated. The "manual" asserts that this church, though 6tyled Presbyterian by the records ibo ve referred to, "was, as lt has ever been, undenominational In polity. Apparently from its origin It has united both Congregationalists ind Presbyterians. The first three ministers >r pastors are supposed to have been Congre? gationalists ; the next two were Presbyterians, tn 1731, during the incumbency of the sixth, a Congregationalist, the Presbyterians separa ing. formed the First Presbyterian Church of | Charleston. The White Meeting, however, iontlnued to be called indiscriminately the 'resbyterlan, Congregational or Independent march. Its pastors were called from either lenomlnation, but prohibited from modifying >r changing the government of the church icllng as a congregation." POSTPONED.-The baptismal ceremonies at ;he First Baptist Church, and the anniversary 'xerclses of the Sunday-school of this church, innounced to take place yesterday, were post ?ned until Sunday next, on account of the ll ness of the pastor, Rev. L. H. Shuck. "WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE," plenty lo irlnk and wade in, were the cry of our citizens yesterday, who only two or three days belore icslred and prayed for rain. Well, they secur ?d lt. Since Wednesday night there has been scarcely auythlng else b^t rain. Saturday ifternoon lt was accompanied by gusts of wind which blew down signs and trees, twisted off >ranches, shingles and slates, but did no datu ige of a serious nature. The sails of a few ves? sels In the harbor were Injured during ?he iqualls. The trees In the City Hall Park sus-1 ained more damage than those in any other I iori lon of the city. GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR SPRING*.-The idvertisement of these celebrated Springs ap? pears in THE NEWS to-day. They are now open Tor the reception of visitors, and are prepared, ander the enlarged capacities, to accommodate from fifteen hundred to two thousand guests. The reputation ot the White Sulphur is so ?xtended that little need be said in commenda? tion of it. As the centre of fashion l t has no rival in the South, and is fast rising to the popularity of the great resorts of the North. In point of the value of its water and thc beauty of its scenery lt is far altead of them, ?nd should attract many of those who are in the habit of spending their summer vacations at Saratoga and Long Branch. They will find more real enjoyment and benefit in Vir? ginia than at those over-crowded places. Now that the railroad ls completed to the While Sulphur, and that access is so easy, we expect to see the number of its guests greatly in? creased and circumscribed only by the capaci? ty to accommodate. But the enterprise and resource ol' thc Messrs. Peyton are equal to any emergency, and if they havn't room enough for all they will make lt. No springs season In Virginia is complete unless lt Includes a sojourn at the White Sulphur._ THE SAVANNAH REGATTA.-OU Friday there were two races between the losing boats of two classes, canoe and shell. For the first the "Irene" and the "Anomyma" were enter? ed. As the former had beaten the latter by fourteen seconds on the previous day, she was generally the favorite, and, as the result proved, the popular anticipation was correct, she whining the race by four ?nd a half sec? onds. The time was: "Irene," 6:38^; "Ano? myma," 6:43. For the second race the "Flirt" and "Aphrodite" were entered. The "Aphro? dite" was victorious, the "Flirt," on account of a leak, having to withdraw. The first race of Saturday, and upon which all the interest seemed to centre, was the grand struggle for thc championship of the river, the prize pennant and a purse of two hundred dollars. For this race only those boats were entitled to enter which had previously won a race-they were the "King Cotton," "Aphrodite," "Queen" and "Irene." Thc "Queen" was the victor. The, time was 5:42$; "King Cotton," 5:45|; "Aphrodite," 6:47, and the "Irene," 5:52$. Each member of the vic? torious club was presented with a silver cup. The next race was between ship's boats, dis? tance two miles, and was won by the boat of the ship Atlantic in twenty and a half minutes. After a tub race, won by Mr. Postell, the re? gatta of 1870 was closed. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.-A regular meetlDg of this body will be held at the Hibernian Hall to-night._ THE COLUMRIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. The Augusta Constitutionalist says of Rev. Dr. Wilson, of that city, who has been elected hy? the Presbyterian General Assembly to the chair of pastoral theology in the Columbia (S. C.) Theological Seminary, that his learning and piety peculiarly recommend him to the distinguished position to which he has been chosen. EXQUISITE CHROMOS.-It ls seldom that our citizens have an opportunity of inspecting and buying German and English chromos, equal to those wiiich are to be sold at ll o'clock to-day. at Quinby & Co's, gallery, King street, by Messrs. Leitch &, Bruns. The picture?, nearly two hundred in number, have all been selected with the greatest care, from the finest foreign collections, and even those who may not care to buy will be richly repaid for their trouble by calling in this forenoon and spending an hour admiring these beautiful works of art. The sale will begin punctually at the hour fixed, and those who wish to get a ready handsome ornament for their parlor walls ought to be on hand early. NEW COUNTY TREASURER.-We leam that Governor Scott has removed Fleetwood Lan neau, Esq., from the office of county treasu? rer, and appointed Mr. John R. Stall, of Sum? merville, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Lannetui has discharged the duties of the office of county treasurer not only with sigua! ability, integnty and fidelity, but with the utmost courtesy and satisfaction to* the entire tax-paying commu? nity. Mr. Stall, the new appointee, belongs to M the party,'" and it Is well understood in Rad? ical circles that the appointment Is a sop thrown to the black Cerberus whose recent barking in the columns of the Missionary Re? cord has been so Inconvenient and alarming to the Scott Ring. The new county treasurer flied Iiis bonds last week, and it is presumed will ;nter upon the duties of the office to-day. BUSINESS NOTICES. CHEAP GOODS.-J. R.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has now been subjected to this searching ordeal for more than eighteen years, and the result Ls that it stands at the head of the class of remedies to which It be? longs. It has distanced and lived down Innu? merable competitors, and la/o-day the Standard Vegetable Tonic of the Western world. The happy effects which have followed Its use lu cases of dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous affections, Inter? mittent fevers and general debility, and as a con? stitutional lnvlgoraut, have entitled it to univer? sal confidence. Nothing caa ever shake Its repu? tation, for it is based on the Individual experien? ces of tens of thousands of witnesses, embracing prominent and well known citizens of every pro? fession, occupation and class. There ls not a city, town or settlement In the United States where lt ls not a medicinal staple. No druggist or general dealer would cornier his stock complete without lt. and the returns of the Internal revenue depart? ment show that its sales exceed those of any other proprietary restoratives manufactured on this side of the Atlantic. The benetlclPresults derived during a long series of years from the use of Hostetter's Bitters, have convinced the wh?le community that the only true way to restoic to health a broken down or debilitated system, or to put the human body on Its defence when ex? posed to unwholesome Influences, ls to invigorate, regulate and purify lt at one and the same time. may27-6P*c_jg pS- MANHOOD.-A MEDICAL ESSAY on the Cause and Cure of Decllue In Premature, Man, the treatment of Nervous and Physical De? bility, AC. .'There ls no member of society by whom this book will not be found useful, whether such per? son holds the relation cf Parent Preceptor or Clergyman."-Medical Times and Gazette.
