It was not generally .known that he was to speak, or that a meeting j v/?uld take place, yet there was a large and gratifying gathering of black and white citi? zens. His talk was of just such character as will open the eyes of his own race; and one - Immediate effect was seen the next day in the fact that the colored people who heard it, and who had intended going to a Radical barbecue meeting near Longshore'?, all kept away from !t, and attended to their work like sensible men. We are told that one bigoted, obstrep? erous fellow-and the only one-who endea? vored to create a diversion during the speak? ing on Thursday, was effectually converted -andwent away convinced.

The case . was brought up before a trial justices'court, ?nd after a full hearing the prisoner was re? manded. The most extraordinary feature of the case ' was the appearance qt Major Delaney, as coun eel for Woolf, he claiming that the authority .rested in him as an aid of Govervor Scott en : titled him to act as expounder of the law. Though he confessed himself to be no lawyer, he delivered a loud and lengthy argument, alfa claimed that he had made the principles -of common law a study all his life, and knew as much about the matter as any of our law -yere do. Are all of Governor Scott's aids en? titled to thlB new privilege, or is Major Delany -specially favored ? BING MEETING IN WARD 7.-A meeting of the Ring, constituents was held last evening at -the corner of Nassau and Columbus streets, at which resolutions complimentary to the Hon. C. C. Bowen, congratulating him on the nomi- j nation 4iwhich he so eminently deserves on ac? count of his steadfast principles and patriot? ism," &c., Ac., were passed. Another account of the same meeting states that, after some con? fusion and discussion, a resolution was adopt? ed declaring that R. H. Cain is the regular county chairman; also a resolution to the effect that those present would "sup? port the Hon. R. C. DeLarge as the regular nominee of the Republican party for Con? gress." After this the meeting adjourned, ?mid rousing cheers for DeLarge. At the first ?tage of the meeting the Bowenltes endeavor? ed, with the aid of the police, to clear the hall, but the opposition voters indignantly refused to go. As well as we are able to learn, the re- j solutions in favor of C. C. Bowen truly repre? sent the feeling of the meeting. The DeLarge itas were nowhere, but In print one resolution is tbout as good as another. ' HOHE AND SCHOOL OF THE CHURCH OF THE HOLT COMM Uti ION. CHARLESTON, August 9, 1970. IieverendA. T. Porter: REVEREND AND DEAR SIR-Although we hare ceased to share your labors in the man? agement of the truly benevolent and Christian enterprise to which your time, your talents and your energies have been devoted, lt ts with unabated interest that we watch its pro? gress, and rejoice in its abundant harvest of good works. With sincere gratification, then, have we perused the last annual report of the "Paro? chial School and Home" of the Church of the Holy Communion. Inaugurated under circumstances well cal? culated to oppress the mind with grave doubts as to Its ultimate success, by the blessing of God it has attained proportions and accom? plished results which the most sanguine could not have anticipated. Believing that the simple recital of what has been accomplished in this effort to enlighten, cultivate and prepare for the duties of life those whom, by the reverses of fortune, seemed doomed to ignorance-perhaps degra? dation-will cheer the hearts of many who by material aid have sustained it thus far, and in? duce others to follow their Christian example, we respectfully request that you furnish us with a copy of your report for publication. ? With sentiments of sincere regard and es. teem, yours, WM. C. BEE, JOHN HAXCKEL, C. K. HUGER. REPORT OK TUE REV. A. TOOMER PORTER ON TUE CONDITION OK THE CHURCH HOME AND PAROCHIAL SCHOOL OF THE CHURCH OF THE HOLT COMMUNION. CHARLESTON, August 1. To Messrs. Wm. C. Bee, John Hanckel, C. K. Huger: GENTLEMEN-Although from the dissolution of the Pioneer Southern Educational Aid Socie? ty, in October last, your connection with the Parochial School and Church Home under my charge officially ceased, still from the Interest manifested by you In the enterprise, I trust you will permit me to make this, my third an? nual report, of the condition and prospects of this work, begun in lalth, and carried on with a firm rebanee upon Divine Providence, and with much hard work. Our third year closed on the 31st of Jul}', 1870, and in looking back over these three years past, I offer thanks and praise to our Heavenly Father for the work which He has wrought by our hands, for the large measure of success He has vouchsafed us for the singular exemption from disease and death, the unbroken harmony in its adminis? tration and operations, the unnameable and Irreproachable deportment of our pupils, the marked obedience, docility and gentlemanli? ness of the same, tho gift of His Grace and Holy Spirit to some of them, and for that kind? ly interest which has been awakened, and the liberal pecuniary aid we have received at home and abroad. You are aware that this work was com? menced in 1867 withouts dollar; its object was to rescue youths trom Ignorance and conse? quent degradation, who, from the calamities of the war, were deprived of the opportunities of an education, and to bridge over the gulf between our ruined State and the hour when prosperity, or at least a partial recuperation, would enable our citizens to educate their children. The generation of that day will of course be taken care of; but that generation immediately affected by the war, in the mean? while was losing time which could never be re? deemed. You are also aware that In the spring of 1868, through the efforts of Mr. W. TV. Glenn, of Baltimore, the Pioneer Southern : Educational Aid Society was formed; Us con- ' stltution was tor five years, and its pledge to me was to see this effort through three years. I had provided pretty much for myself j for the first year, receiving from them a limited amount-say SIG!" 05. The last year, 1 ending August, I860,1 was generously assisted 1 by the society to the amount of $5300 08, ! which, with what I procured at home and ] through my personal exertions abroad, car- I ried me through, leaving only a small balance unprovided for. You may Judge my conster? nation, last September, when I received no? tice from Mr. Glenn that I could not rely longer upon the aid of the society-expressing every every satisfaction and confidence In the ad-1 ministration of the school and home, but assigning various reasons for this sudden with drawful of support. I deem lt worthy of re? cord, Just here, to soy that in my appeals and efforts I never concealed the fact that lt was connected with the "Parish of the Church of the Holy Communion." I never made a public appeal in its behalf, save in the pulpits ol the Episcopal Church: that I received assistance from a few, not of the Episcopal Church, but, as their signatures will show, signed by themselves under the heading .?in aid of the Parish Schooland Church Home of the Church of the Holy Com? munion, Charleston." As I had several chil? dren of the denominations in the Home, and as I did not make lt compulsory that they should unite with the church, though of course, they had to attend the Sunday-school and parish church, I did not, and do not, think it amiss that their co-rellglonlsts should have contributed to their support. I have to Illustrate-always had. from the beginning, some of the Baptist persuasion in my Home. Now. the Episcopal Church ls as lar as the east ts from the west from that sect, In her doctrine and practices, yet I have not Induced any one of them to be baptized without the full consent of their parents. Of course, I should be untrue to my convictions and to a sense of Christian duty, it I did not exercise eve? ry moral and religious influence, in my power, to bring all I can into the old paths of Catholic Truth and Apostolic Order, which, if I was not certain I was holding and living In, I should seek without delay. But I have not excluded any child because he was not a child of the church, at the same time feeling under no obligation to observe any but the one disci? pline tor all, because ot a few dollars, and com? paratively a very few, that chanced not to be from churchmen. So much for that subject, which for reasons I deem necessary here to record. None but God knew the anxiety with which I commenc? ed the term last October, now brought to a close, relying confidently upon the pledged support at least for another year of the Pio? neer Southern Educational Aid Society. I had enlarged my operations, and had consented to take seventy-five boys. When that aid was withdrawn it was too late for me to draw back. I knew that I had a sm%'l private property that might be sacrificed, but no one could or should lose by my efforts; and so I kept my council, carried a brave face, and met all my engagements and promises, look? ing to a grraciouswGod, under whose Inspiration I believe this work was begun, to sustain me in my time of trouble. lu November my pa? rish kindly excused me, and I took a hurried trip to Baltimore, Washington and New York. The president of the society and two of the directors expressed astonishment at the information given me by the treasurer, Mr. Glenn, and assured me that I would be sustained through the year. My estimates were, that I would require $2000 more than I could see the way ot getting, provided all who had pledged to me at home could fulfil their pledges. With this cheering encouragement I returned, and shortly afterwards I received a donation of $3000 from the estate of Mr. Caleb Dorsey, from the?executors, one ol whom had known me as a little child many years ago when he was a student at Yale College, and we were then residing in New Haven; he had never forgotten us, and, having been aware of my work, made this appropriation from the Dorsey legacy. This the society regarded as releasing them from all obliga? tions. But Mr. Glenn had told me of certain un? paid subscriptlous that I could ly upon, and my calculation of $2900 was based upon re? ceiving those with others which 1 mvself would collect; besides, so generously was I re? ceived, and warmly encouraged, that I was Induced to extend my work on my return, for the applications were numerous, and they j went up to ninety-three boy3, ao that my csti ! mate of $2900 was, of course, far below the mark. Bedding, crockery, beda, ?tc, ?tc.,, for the Increase of boys swelled my expenses heavily, as will be seen further on in the sta? tistics: but some of the parties who had sub? scribed, regarding the $3000 from the Dorsey estate as relieving them, have not and I be? lieve do not intend to make good their sub? scriptions. However, hoping, fearing, pray? ing and working, we have, by the help ot the Lord, worried through. . I desire here to express my great gratitude to each and every subscriber, be the amounts small or large, for by them a work has been done which can never be obliterated. While the failure of systematic aid from the society in Baltimore has given me great perplexity, still I fully appreciate the difficulties in their way. People have grown tired; they did not understand our peculiar condition. They were mistaken as to the effect of the cotton crop, and the high prices, and the peculiar field in which we were working, and then, through some of our own people, their task was made onerous. I myself was refused $100 that had been pledged by an Individual In Baltimore, who had been told at one of the fashionable watering places last summer by i prosperous citizen, of his and the general prosperity, which citizen has received an ap filication from me for aid, he having relatives n the Home who have never paid anything; but I have never even received a reply to my appeal. To my friends in Washington, Brooklyn, New Fork and Newark, both myself and all who have been benefited are under lasting obligations. May God restore te them four? fold. And I desire to return my grateful thanks to Major-General O. O. Howard, and to Major Edward L. Deane, for their kindness, as through them I was enabled to extend my work to the limits which it has reached. Gene? ral Howard from the first has been a steady friend to the enterprise, and his influence has been of crreat service in its prosecution. He is entitled to this acknowledgment from me. I sent on another youth to Trinity College, Hartford, in the fall. From a sad accident, by which he lost an eye while at the school, I fear his sight will prevent tho prosecution of his studies. The other two young gentlemen have entered the Junior class, and are standing high lu the estimation of the faculty, as by their re? ports and the statements of the president. Another youth proposes to go there In Sep? tember. Several from the school have entered the Charleston College, and some have gone into business in the city and country. Thir? teen of these youths have been confirmed, and have entered into the full communion of the church. May the blessed Saviour, whose dis? ciples they are, vouchsafe them grace to be faithful unto death. We have been singularly exempt from se? vere sickness, having had but few cases, which, under the attentive and skilful treat? ment of the regular physician of the Home, Dr. Wm. T. Wragg, with the blessing of God, have vlelded, and we have no death to record. It is due (and I trust she will pardon me in thus relerrlog to her virtues,) to the matron ot this institution, to record my sense of ob? ligation to her, for her most Christian, Judici? ous and affectionate discharge of her responsi? ble and onerous duties; her unflagging, untir? ing energy has commanded my unfailing ad? miration. Singularly adapted by Providence for such a work, she has with a tender and lov? ing hand guided the internal working ot the Home,'so that neither with the inmates or the domestics bas there been a single jar. The parents and friends, and the boys as well as myself, owe her a debt of gratitude difficult to pay. To the principal of the school, so many ot the rising generation as are under his charge owe much. To say that he has proven him? self equal to lils task, is to express but half j the tnith, as to the manner In which it has been fulfilled, not only as their instructor, but counsellor and example. He has been at the head of an establishment of over ninety youths, but, by bis firm, kind and Impartial administration, there has been not one case of insubordination. He has had most efficient co-laborers in his assistants, both male and female, and the term has-closed more like the parting of one family than the glad holiday of a school. There are three male and\hree fe? male teachers under the principal or head master. Whether we have had extraordinary bojs, or a new spirit has come over the youth of our land, I know not, but this I know: The ninety are as easily managed as one, and we know there has been no case ol' violation of | the rules, involving any moral delinquency. The premises are free of marks or writing, and a tone of gentlemanly propriety charac? terizes their behavior, each boy seeming to feel that he ls at home. Since the opening ol tills institution and school In December, 186T, there have beea up? wards of six hundred scholars and one hun? dred anti forty-four inmates of the Home. We have had as many as ninety-three boys this .erm, and the school numbers some two hun? dred and sixty on its rolls. There have been lu the Home: Matron and sister, 2; tutor, l; boys, 93; servants, 5; total, 101, Of these boys thlrtv-lour agreed to pay $15 per month, two agreed to pay $12, thirty agreed to pay $10, one agreed to pay $9, three agreed to pay ?7 50. two agreed to pay $5. twenty-one agreed to pay nothing. This has covered board, washing, lights, tuel, doctor's bill, tal tlon and seat iu church. The terms of the day school have beeu $2 for classical course, $1 23 for English. German extra-only a few tock, j lessons In German. We commenced the term with outstanding claims against the Institution amounting to $753 78, and with amounts due lt of $300 for board and tuition, and about $700 tot books furnished in the first and second terms. At the close of the war the children were so entirely destitute of books, we found it impos? sible to carry on the school without furnishing them; all promising to pay. The bills are all in small sums. Twice have I given them to a collector, and only received some $30 or $40, and have now given lt up as hopeless. Only a small portion of the $800 due for ttiitiou has been paid, or probably ever will be. So we started October, 1869,with a balance of.$ 753 78 And In purchase of Home. 3,400 00 Interest. 238 00 Total .$4,391 78 We close with-due on purchase of the Home.$2,260 67 Interest due in November. 158 66 $2,425 33 Of which instalment due in Novem? ber, 1871. 1,133 33 Leaving to be paid In November.$1,292 00 Borrowed oa account of repairs. $415 68 Due on repairs. 340 78- 756 46 Booksdlstrlbuted,-butIowe for them. 659 53- 659 53 On current expenses-balance for last year.753 78 Balance this year. 857 94-1,611 72 Assets.$4,319 71 Amounts due me by responsible par? ties for board and tuition.$1,901 00 Subscriptions in Baltimore. 160 00 Subscriptions in New York. 175 00 Total.$2,236 00 Now due.$2,083 71 Of tits $4319 71, it wiil be seen there ls an instalment and interest due on real estate in November of $1292.

Had the parties who owed last year paid fifty cents on the dollar, and the parties who subscribed in Baltimore came up to their pledges, and those who now owe and with some little erTort can pay at once, had settled aa our agreement called for, monthly, I would be able to show a clear balance sheet, and this fourth term would commence free of debt. As it is, I have to make up the sum of $2083 71, and ii this ?meets the eye ot' any who have the heart to aid and the means to follow the promptings ot the heart, their contributions will be gratefully received. It would, indeed, make my heart light lo have this evidence of appreciation and sympathy that I might go co the work in the fall Iree of debt. The help you give, il any you do, goes towards the past support of twenty-one boys who have not been able to help them? selves, besides the education of nearly fifty children free. I do not particularize, as none ot them know through me whether they pay with the highest or lowest. The highest, it will bc observed, was $15 per month.

When we consider that this same enterprise, three years ago. only yielded about $800 from school and from Home for the year, it is evi? dent our people have been trying to help themselves, endeavoring to relieve themselves from receiving a charity which, however free? ly and tenderly bestowed, is always galUng to refined and sensitive natures. It win be ob? served, that among the congregations contrib? uting to this church work, the Church ot the Holy Communion, of which I have the honor to be rector, is not represented by any dona? tion, while in fact, indirectly, it has been the largest contributor. In the first place, lt bas without murmur given its rector to this work, and two months, November and April, were spent away from the parish In ob? taining means to carry it on, beside much of lils time, and to him many, very roany anxious hours and sleepless nights. Secondly, the parish spent over $9000 in enlarging the church to give accommodation to these boys, In the purchase of au organ to have them trained in church music, In seats provided for them, and In the dally use of the church for public worship, for we have kept up the dally morning service from the beglnnig. I am sure In the future days, God willing, a people who have never failed to sustain me, will do of their ability to see my appointed work accom? plished.

This has given occupation to several, and contributed to the support of many. We know the boys have been carefully and faithfully taught, and have had every influ? ence for good thrown around them. God only can give the increase, and to Him we look for a blessing upon our labors; duties are ours, results Pus-but our Father which ls In hea? ven knoweth how to give good gifts to His children, and we believe that ripe fruit will come from this work of faith and labor of love. I have now given a faithful review of the past, and statement of the. present condition of the work. As to the out-look for the future, we have fine buildings nearly paid for, and the prestige ol' three successful years, with a small debt to be provided for. But I can? not look for the alu abroad which has been so far most generously granted us. I still hope there may be some large-hearted friends who will continue to sustain it; but In the face of many facts, lt is not reasonable lo expect as liberal support from without the diocese. I must therefore.hasten the time when the whole work will be self-supporting. Until then, I shall be compelled to look at home to make up thc deficiencies, or this effort must fall through. But I am persuaded an Interest has been excited in its behalf, which will induce the needed aid. To lighten and diffuse the burden, I propose the next term to put the tuition tor classical scholars at $3, and for English $2 per month, and for residents at the Home $20 per month, which will cover board, washing, lights, fuel, doctor's bill, tuition and seat In church. I am aware all will not be able to come up to this, but such as caa I am sure will, and thus help to give permanence to the Institution, and all otherswlll have to state conscientiously the utmost they can pay, still there will be many who can pay little or nothing; the general up? ward tide has not and will not reach them upon the sterile shore on which the late dread? ful war has stranded them. Yet wit h minds to cultivate, and souls to save, with a little effort by us, they will soon be ready to take their places, as men, among men. If neglected, they will be a loss to themselves, the State anU the church. Single-handed, I have carried this work so far. The dread chasm of the past throe years has been bridged, and now that we have reached the outer verge of a more bountiful land, are emerging from the darkness which has enveloped us. This work of faith, which we hope commends itself to the good judgment and kind approval of all good people, which was born In the days almost ot despair, has carried joy to many households, cheered many widows, rescued many or? phans, we trust will not be permitted to founder almost in sight of a certain haven. I desire most earnestly to Interest a body of gentlemen in the enterprise. It is ca capable of any extension, and with such co-operation as this community is capable ot' affording, we car. establish such an institution ~ as will be a praise to the church and a blessing to the country. From all the States we see almost weekly ac? counts of munificent donations and large be? quests to educational and charitable purposes. We hope it will please Ge? to put it into the hearts ot some to remember us, so that we may say yes to all who apply tor admission. Already there aro several new applicants for the next term pleading our aid; and what can we do ? Are there none who read this who can undertake the support of one boy, or even the partial support ? Will any put it down without at least wishing us God-speed? for if we know ourselves, there has been and Is but one aim and ono motive to do good, by assisting the rising youth to a position of intelligence aud education, to give them all the benefits of Christian culture, and to extend the kingdom of our Lord and Savi? our Jesus Christ. Commending the whole work to the loving care and providence ol' a Covenant God, I submit this report, gentle? men, respectfully to you, to the parents, the children and the church. And sun yours, respectfully, A. TOOMKR PORTER, Rector of the Home and School of the Parish of the Church ol' the Holy Communion, Charleston, S. C.

RUST DJ SUMTER.-The Sumter News reports that a gentleman has seen a field between Sumter and Mechanicsville taken with the rust throughout, and that It learns from Mr. George Wilson, of Middte Salem, that the rust hos made Its appearance in that neighborhood, and that the cotton is also shedding in conse? quence of too much rain. MASONIC-A dispensation has been granted to open a lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, at Mullins's Depot, Marion County, with the following officers: W. S. Mullins, W. M. ; A. E. Gilchrist, S. W.; R. B. Game, J. W.'; James Norton, 8. D.; J. H. Lambert, I. S.; John Lam? bert, tyler; 8. Smith, treasurer, and D. A. Smith, secretary.

C. Bradley, Chester County. Robert Garvin, N. P. Wind? sor and C. H. Langley, trial justices for Beau? fort County, have been removed. MORE Rows IN THE RINO WIGWAM.-The hostile factions of the Radical Ring had another disgraceful row at Military Hall last evening, which might have had very serious consequences but for the prompt intervention ot a strong body of police. The reports cur? rent last night assigned prominence in the dis- j turbance to the twin trial justices, T. J. and J. G. Mackey, the former of whom ls said to have knocked down one Hardy, colored, with a loaded stick, and the latter to have drawn a pistol. All accounts agree, however, that the Mackeys failed to gain control of the meeting, and the Bowen negroes, who were in the ma lorlty, were lo a state of hot indignation against the aforesaid trial justices and their clique. _ _ _ ii USINE S S NOTICES.

This rank among the restoratives of our day belongs of right, and beyond all dispute, to HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Let those who are taking lt at this debilitating season as an invigorant, answer for themselves as to Us tonic properties.
