THE MEMOEY OF LEE. THE TRIBUTE Ol' THE PEOPLE OE CHARLESTON. A people's voice ! Vie are a people yet. Though ail men else their nobler dreams forget, Confused by brainless mobs and lawless Powers, We have a voice with which to pay the debt, or boundless love and reverence and regret, To this great man. . - In accordance with an announcement In the morning papers, a meeting of the citizens of Charleston was held-in the Hibernian Hall on Saturday last, fir the purpose of giving expres? sion to the love and reverence with which our people regard the memory of General Lee. The spacious building was densely crowded, there be? l?g among the audience several hundred ladles. Every face was sad and subdued, for all of the throng knew and honored the name and fame of Lee. Many had followed the old hero In battle; others had known him In the councils of the Con? federacy; others had experienced the knightly courtesy of his demeanor In the walks of civil Hie-the rosy wreath entwining the warrior'a sword. And now that the Great Captain ls dead, it was meet that Charleston, with mournful note, should ewell the solemn dirge which, rising in the sad dec cd South, sweeps over the cold New England cUine, resounds on the Pacific shore, and is chanted io that Old World which bas learned to honor the peerless chieftain of the New. At a few minutes after 12 o'clock, the meeting was called to order by Mr. Charles T. Lowndes, upon whose motion the venerable ex-Chief Justice Dunkin was called to the ' hair, and Captain Jas. Armstrong, Jr., Colonel C. J. Colcock, Jr., Mr. John L. Honour, and Kt. James Adger, Jr., were requested to act as secretaries. Among the distinguished gentlemen upon the platform at this time were the Hon. G. A. Tren holm, Lleut.-Gen. R. H. Anderson, (who com- j manded an army corps under General Lee,) the Hon. Henry Gourdin, ex-Chancellor Lesesne, the I Hon. C. G. Memmlnger, the Hon. A. G. Magrath, the Rev. Dr. Bachman, the Rev. Dr. Winkler, Cap? tain A. Melchers, the Rev. Dr. Marshall, the Rev. C. B. Northrop, Major H. E. Young, (formerly of General Lee"s staff,) Major E. N. Thurston, Dr. F. M. Robertson. General James Conner, Colonel C. Irvine Walker and Colonel Hunt. The meeting was opened by the Rev. E. T. Winkler, D. D., with the following nura. Oh King of Kings and Lord of Lords, with sad? dened yet with reverent hearts we adore the mys ? tery of Thy Providence. Thy path ls in the deep waters and Thy throne is hidden by the thick doods of the skies. Thou vtsltest our lives with Joy and sorrow, and our history with triumph and disaster; yet in either extreme of fortune we would trust in Thee, and with Thine ancient ser? vants exclaim: It ls the Lord, let Him do what aeemeth Him good. Especially In affliction, gracious God, may this resert be ours. In the dart and evil day may we not forget that trial ls the discipline of virtue; that earthly bereavements awaken the desire (or heavenly reunions, and thus that chastenlngs are the signs cf our Father's love. Forbid that we shall murmur at those tribulations, however many, through which we enter the Kingdom of Ged. Mercifully regard us now. Thou bast tasen away from us, in the maturity of his wisdom and the splendor of his fame that great Chieftain who led our armies to battle, end whose virtues, even more than his skill and valor, endeared him to the hearts of all. Is lt not upon the body of the father of onr country that we shed our tears to? day ? By a sin gi- stroke Thou hast smitten the family be lc ved-the martial hosts he gnlded and Inspired, the cora m un Hies he defended, the pupils he taught-yea even the multitudes to whom he surrendered bis spotless sword, and all as with one voice lament: How are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war perished I How ls the strong starr broken and the beautiful rod I . Sanctify, to us thu bereavement we Implore Thee. Comfort those whom Thou has specially afflicted in the death of Thy servant, and who scarce can see through their tears the flowers not more white and fair than his fame that are laid at this moment on his coffin lld. Grant ns grace to thank Tnee that such a hero has been given born of our soil, a chtld of oar institutions-to vindicate the honor of our aspersed and now de feated country. Grant as grace to submit to Thv dispensations as calmly and as bravely as he, and, amid the conflicts of life, to emulate while we cherish that high and pure example. As in the glorious marches of old, may we follow the summons of our chief-a leader so quiet and yet so mighty, so gentle and yet so valiant, so unpre? tending and yet so rich in skill and knowledge, so absolute In authority, and yet so subject to the claims of duty, and so dependent upon the help or God. And in another and a better world where the justcau-e triumphs; in the land where peace flows like a river, and righteousness prevails like the waves of the sea, may lt be our privilege to rejoin the sainted dead, and with all who have fought the good fight, to adore the Captain of our Salva? tion. And to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, be praise, now, henceforth and forever. Amen. The chairman then arose and Bald: REMARKS OF CHIEF JUSTICE DUNCAN. Fellow-citizens-A great man has passe* from amongst the living. Hts labors and his trials are ended, and a* has gone to his reward. We are assembled together to testify our com? mon Borrow, and to contribute with others, in commemorating the high qualities and spotless character of a renowned chieftain, of whose repu-1 tatton any community might well bc proud. Snch was the Atting and impartial eulogmm of a distinguished London Journal, when, a fortnight since, the then premature intelligence was an? nounced over the wires of the death of General Lee. The chairman will not longer delay the meeting for expressing. In their own way. the sentiments with which all hearts are penetrated on this mournful occasion. Tne chair 13 now ready to ra-elve any motion that may be presented. When the chairman had resumed-his seat, the Hon. H. D. Lesesne spoke ss follows: REMARKS OF UR. LESESNE. The eminent and venerated gentleman who presides over this imposing assemblage, my friends, has announced, in Utting terms, as all would expect of him, thc occurrence which has caused lt o be convened. But, besides the cus? tomary demonstration of respect for departed worth, In the mournful tolling of those grand old bells, on Thursday, the hushed salutations ex? changed with each other by our people, as, with troubled countenances, they met on 1 he streets, i ?.'-nd 'then t-he telegraphic tl.tings of like scenes passing in every part of the land, Ifad revealed the. solemn event-with ah~Impressiveness that could not be sui passed by .the tapplest effort of eloquence. ~ \ When the patriarchal head or asargq family ls stricken down by the hand of deathMfs members are stunned as by a blow. Akin to Shat ls the reeling of bereavement with which allihrough out the length and breadth of our country- are |. affected byHhe death of General Lee. We feel as though au Irreparable loss has been suffered-a necessary support withdrawn. Our greatest hu? man exemplar has been taken from us. We shall, indeed, no more behold his noble countenance, nor lean upon bis wisdom and prudence for guid t-anteand support In ? he trials and perplexities f-that beset na. But ic ls onr duty, my friends, to bow reveren? tially to this; dispensation of Providence; to re? alize the fact that his grand example yet lives; that he left us. while his great renown was Ireh and bright, hts noble powers unimpaired by the f-rsTages of time. And in 'this mauner our grief may be almost robbed of its poignancy. To me has been assigned the part of submitting for your consideration a tribute of respect to tuc memory of the departed Sage and Hero While I do not shrink from the honorable taslrfvou will bel eve me when I profess my sense of "utter in? competency to discharge it fitly,.- - li ut in this I am consoled by the belief that, even the most girted might also fail in such an effort. At least I shall not-dlshonor the memory of the dead by indulg? ing in turgid phrases, hut address myself to my office in words of simplicity, sincerity and truth, . consonas: with his guileless nature. Permit me, then, If you please, to offer the fol? lowing paper: An event even more solemnizing than sad has brought ?B together. Death, the common lot of all, has removed from the scenes of this world one who was endowed with gifts and graces that are rarely combined In a single character. What was mortal of him is at this moment about to be committed to the bosom of the earth, where all must lie together when life's fitful fever ls over. The spirit, which will never d.e, has taken its flight to that mysterious world In ?hich Christian faith pictures bim as resting from his labors, and reposing on the breast of tue Captain of our sal? vation, whose guidance and approval he reverent? ly sought in all the acts of his momentous life. It ls guod for us to be here-to withdraw our? selves from the strife of ure, from the engrossing interests of business, the wearisome tolls of labor, the treacherous temptations of pleasure, the de? moralizing-struggles of ambition, and of the lust for power and lucre; to devote a few solemn mo? ments to the contemplation of his Illustrious career, and Invoke the Inspiration of his sublime example. To dwell lu detail on hl<? great achieve? ments and the spirit in which they were perform? ed; the entire absence of self-assertion on anv occa? sion, the habitual avoidance of adulation which coistantly beset him, as of a serpent; the shrink? ing gentleness and modesty which characterized him, except when duty called for the exercise of Intellectual power, or of tho-e qualities that con? stitute the highest type of manliness-all of which are as familiar aa household words-were as unnecessary as lt would be inappropriate to this occasion. Sufflce lt to sav. his Birts were manirold and pre-eminent, hu character balanced, m an extraordinary manner. Duty, la |U most comprehensive sense, was his great Incentive anti he studied it with reverential ana trustful reliance on Divine guidance, ascribing nothiuato hlmseir. but all to the power which came to him from above. He foUowed with unwavering steps tbe leadings of Providence, whether thi dncted him to exalted position, or to statl life that are remote from- observation. ' ? when it became his lot to descend from a 1 nence where, nnelated, he had received th dits of the civilized world, be did not anile pine at his lot, bot Invoking the same gal won fresh and even greater admiration bj ting his life, with unabated energy, to the lng humble office of instructing the youth country in knowledge and virtue. Truly, then, this occasion is rather solem than sad. Pare, wise, gifted, pre-eminent Tears cannot be restrained in view of the i tare of so great excellence. But years COD have added to his renown-the Inevitable mltles of age muse era long have begun his powers. We cannot help deploring the pea ran ce from our sight of such a guide. bewildering. But, though dead, his exampl vives. And. invoking the spirit which ann him through life, let us bles? God for thebes of such au example on our country, pray? strive to work up to lt, and Impress lt on ou dren as a great herlt an ce. "Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail Or knock the breast; no weakness, no conte Dispraise or blame; nothing but well and fal And what may quiet us In a death so noble.1 Therefore, Resolved, That the people of Charlcstcn, in He meeting convened, adopt the foregoing r expresslon of their sense of the exalted char or General Robert E. Lee, and of the sentir Inspired by the solemn event or his death. The resolutions were seconded byLieute: General R. H. Anderson, who said: REMARKS OF GENERAL ANDERSON. Friends, Fellow-Citizens and Comrades a proround consciousness of the monrnfnlne the sad event which has brought us togetfae day, and of my utter Inability to give expre to che sorrow and grier which its announce] has produced, I rise to propose the adoptlc the resolution which you have ju?: heard rea The eloquence with which our deep sense c reavement and heartfelt sympathy with mournful people are set forth In the r?solu will meet with a cordial approval and resp from every heart. I have but little to add to tlments so feelingly and so Justly expressed. The cry or lamentation which comes up I every part or our widely extended country, us that the hearts or our people are wrung* b overwhelming calamity. The saddened expression or every countem -the silence iv oar streets-the closed dooi oar plaees or business-the tolling be ls ai thousand other tokens of mourning, tell or an prrvadtng sorrow. Death dally strikes down from amongst near relative or a dear friend, and the ei brings desolation Into a few loving hearts; now the walling voice cf a whole people tells national bereavement. All men seem stagg? and bewildered by the blow, and, as little chile who have lost their father, they wring their ha In helplessness and woe. Whence springs this universal expressloi grief? How ls lt that there ls so deep a since . m our lamentations ? Was he who has Just pa; away from amongst us great and prospero! rich and powerful, lu the common acceptation of those t eras * Has he. loaded us with benet Has he increased oar stores of wealth or of kne edge f Has he ministered to our wants or to pleasures, that We love his name and lament loas so much f No, my frienda; it ls not from i ot these causes that our hearts are burdened day with an overpowering sense of loss and privation. In many respects, the very contr of these conditions attended the ure and career or our dead chieftain. Why, then, do w< dearly love and cbeerlsh his memory " lt ls caus> or his spotless and blameless character, cause or his purity, his piety and benevoleu because of hts truth and magnanimity, and cause of his moderation In prosperity and fortitude in adversity, that we so love and rev him. Since the day of the Fattier or our Conn no man has arisen whose fame and whose dei have shed so splendid a lustre upon the land his nativity. Personally handsome and graceful, with a fi wonderfully attractive through Its manly bean its indication of rare intelligence, and Its < pression or dignified self-possession and gen courtesy, he was animated by a soul or matchli symmetry and excellence, and approached nearly as possible to the perfect maa. His was the torm and the character which love to look upon and admire as representative onr Southern race. The land which gave bli to such a man need not be ashamed. Advers and oppression may keep lt back ror a time, pi erty and axlety may depress lt, but with sud model before it. virtue, raith and fortitude v win the race at last, and place lt amongst t foremost and most favored nations of the ear j have spoken of the well balanced elements General Lee's mina and soul. He possessed gr< talents without vanity, courage without rashne generosity without weakness, piety and charl without ostentation. As an enemy he was withe hate, as a roe he was without malice, as a frle he was without deceit or gulle. Such was t man whose death we deplore. I will not detain you tu speak on this occas! ot lils military exploits further than to say th when the true history ot the campaigns which conducted comes to be written, his uame will <] servedly be placed hlzh amongst the most skill and renowned or warriors. It has pleased Almighty Cod to remove his mc tal body from us; but the memory of bis Cur; tian virtues, the emulation of his blameless e ample, remain a lam? and a guide to ourselvc and to oar posterity throughout all generation The Hon. C. G. Memmlnger followed Genet Anderson. He said: REMARKS OF UR. ii KM MINGER.

Can anything in history be pointed oat mon noble than his conduct since the war. Ia an in stant he put aside (ir he ever had them) all taos* reelings which attend defeat, and In giving up hi: sword, he laid down at the rootstool or his coun try's weirare every rescntlul reeling. H s Imme d?ate couuseis led his i ountrymen, by precep and example, to accept events as tue determina tien or Providence, and to conform their couduc to them. With admirable self-control this com mander or armies brought himself to the ne? task ot disciplining the mind of thc young, anc teaching them by his example the great lesson o fortitude In adversity. He showed them that tin noblest type or human nature was not that whlcl repined at suffering, but that which battled wltl difficulties and converted them into stepping stones. it was this great example which has led th( South thus rar through the mire or the past, ami has placed it upon the roundatiens or the present to look forward toa better hope in (he future He has taught us that patient Industry and honesi perseverance are certain sources of nat Ional re covery, and that dishonor eau only attach tc wrong. But he has taught us a still higher and noblet lesson. In the height or his glory, and lu the depth of adversltv, General Lee was a true chris tian. He exulted"not in the one. nor was he over? come by the other. At all times and In all places he recognized the presence i f his God, sought and submitted hlmseir to His guidance. At the head of armies, amid the din of battle-lu the solitude of his tent, or at hts post In a college, he knew that the Lord saw him, and more than that, that as His faithful servant, that same Lord promised to watch over him and take care or him, and he believed His word. This gave to him a calmness In the hour of danger, which never deserted him; a confldeuce in adversity which always encour? aged him, and a hope In death which disarms the ruture or every terror. He descended to the grave as a warrior to his rest, and lias now re? ceived that true crown or glorv, with which tbs Great Master wreathes the brows or all H13 faith? ful servants. Major H. E.

The hean, of every true man in the elvi world ia bowed at the loss of one of its clth and we are only uniting our sad trlbnte to Iwhlch to-day arises from every nation.. No cl no people can claim General Lee as exclus; i their own; for he belongs to that humanity, w ho ennobled and dignified.

Let me say here, however, and lt doubtle shows the respect all true soldiers feel for o Captain, that during these sad days at Appoint tox, the conduce of General Grant, his office and men, was all that a magnanimous viet conld show to a brave and defeated foe. Ala that the spirit which pervaded the army of tl Potomac has not extended Itself to the politl ians, and given us real Instead of nominal p*ac The drat time I saw much of General Lex Wl at the battle of Frederlcksburg, In December, ISC when I was serving temporarily on the staff of h distinguished lieutenant, Longstreet. . At th; battle. Longstreet commanding the left and Jae son the right, took their positions on two pron nent hills, since known as Lee's Hill and Jae sou's HUI. That selected by Longstreet, arfordlr the better view, was also chosen by Lee, and na orally daring the five days of this brilliant flgl 1 saw mach of him. Shortly after, he did me tl honor ro order me to duty on hU stair, and I coi tlnued In almost dally Intercourse with him tl the fatal day at Appomattox. No one drawn ! near to General Lee conld resist the power of h Influence. Calm and stately, dlgnldedand court ous, noble and tm?, he moved among as tl head of a family deeply and sincerely attache to him. Himself t unremitting in his labors, li exacted the same bf all others, and no laggard < sluggard could be tolerated on his staff. Neglec of duty with those about him was almost impo: ble, such a sense of duty did he inspire tn all. Grand in his extreme simplicity, and sure c the love of those whom with a word he could hm to their deaths, there was no ostentatious guard at headquarters. Barely enough men for absc late necessity, were kept there; and seldom wa even the one sentinel seen on hfo beat, to kee bim from Interruption when specially busy. A early riser, he devoted his early hours to his map and other stody. Then came the various andie [ cessant duties of the day. And then, as the even lng shades closed In, and work was over, thos camp-fires, which will never bu forgotten-cami fires around which were seen not only his star) but also many of his heroes. He, the grand cen trat Agare, his sternness laid aside, seldom lanai; lng. lt ls true, but with countenance UL up wit! that emile which once seen can never, be forgoi ten, on account or Its peculiar sweetness. Ther would meet the sturdy "Old War Horse" of th Army of Northern Virginia-Longstreet, with hi strong common sense; great In council, great oi the battle-fleld: slow at Jokes, but enjoying then heartily with his deep, low laugh. Jackson Stonewall Jackson-with the absorbed gaze o the man wrapt only In the cause, saying little Impetuous HUI, cheerful and chatting always dear to all. Old Ewell, keen of eye, great liste ner. speaking seldom. Rugged Early, bent doubl with pain and disease, yet with burning eye, vas and ceaseless energy and biting sarcasm. Geor gla's fiery Gordon. Alabama's knightly Rodes. On own -righting Dick"' Anderson-the "noble brave soldier," neither silent nor talking much alwavs retiring; with merit unknown only to him self. Hampton, type of all that ls high, manly ant courteous. Time falls me to speak of Pender the hoped-for successor to Jackson; Ramsenr and the hosts of others who have given their live: willing sacrifices for our cause. Last, and often est there, another peerless son or Virginia, Lee's favorite pupn at West Point, between whom and his great preceptor towt* was a father's and son'i love; with life and character as pun and sjibtless as the bright sword he knew so well to use. Thc gallant Stuart "Jeb Stuart" of an army; enlivening all, espe dally the "Old Tycoon," when depressed, and worn, and sick, with lils bright Joyous nature, lili cheery laugh. Memories like these crowd upon rae, f>nd aa these figures pass before mr, the lofty central figure of them looms up greater thad ever. The lire and spirit, the moving p .wer ol that grand old army-an army worthy of Itt leader-a leader worthy of his army. Need I teU you of the love that army bore for him ? How. at his bidding, they went cheering tc d>or die? How ao private soldier, doing his duty, ever heard a harsh word from him? Ula unceas? ing kindness and gentleness to all. He suffered what they suffered, and made lt a mle not only to indulge him seir in no luxurious ease, bot also to discourage lt in .all others. When he assumed c.mmaud of t?e army, lt was common for general olllcers, with their staffs, to occupy neighboring houses. Lee immediately refused all offers pressed upon him, and establish? ed his headquarters In tents. The exam? ple soon had Its effect: there were few offi? cers who were not very shortly found In tents near their men. Even when disease was sapping his strength, he refused, except wheu actually ill, to occupy a house, and the utmost his staff could effect was to procure him a more comfortable tent than usual. His men knew all this, and loved him without Stint. You have all heard the story, how, when at the Wilderness, a part of our line faltered for a moment, under the Immense masses thrown against lt, he pat himself at the head of the Texas Urlgade-the remnants of Hood s gal? lant men-to lead them Into the fight. The whole brigade halted, and a private, taU and gaunt, a hardy veteran, stepped from the ranks, and tak? ing lils horse by the bridle, led him back, telling him they would obey linn In all things save this. His life was too dear. Tue line should be re-es? tablished, but he must stay where he was, Tears streamed from these old soldiers, both fieneral and private. The General obeyed, and the promise of these brave men was lulfliled In a few moments. Imperfect as this sketch has been, it would be wholly defective did I not allude to General Lce'a religious character; and this, too, though this topic has been no well treated by my distinguish? ed senior who has just sat down. Lee was the incarnation of duty-the Incarna? tion of Christain duty-in all things save la his religion. In this he knew no duty. lt WHS part and parcel of his nature. It did not so much guide and rule him, as that lt had so Imbued lils whole bel?g that he could no more have thrown lt aside, and been the Lee we mourn than he could give up life Itself. As in au thingB else, he was unostentatious in his piety, and only his Great "Father, who secth in secret," knows all of hts religious observances. But uo day began or closed with him, ivlthout prayer and, when prac? ticable, the study of the Bible; and we were all sure that no move was undertaken without guid? ance being sought where alone lt can be uner? ringly found. It was to the army a cheering sight to see him and his great lieutenants, Longstreet, Jackson, Stuart and others, together at the communion table, testifying their dsvotton to the God of battles: and lt gave confidence to know that they sought aid and assistance rrora One so mighty to help. M has pleased God not to hear our provers; bat rest assured, my friends, that tue God ta whom we trusted will not suffer os to be n t terry crashed. - Sin ce the days of the ancient children of Israel, no people eyer entrust-1 ed their cause more fully to God's care than we did. - Upon our banners we Inscribed os onr motto : ''Deo vtndice I" God onr Trust I God our ' Defender i And at the bidding of our pions Presi? dent, we. invoked the aid ot the Almighty con tlnaally. Let ns, then,-not be afraid. His ways were not our ways.' His purposes must be ful? filled; but as we trusted In Hun, and yet trust In Him, He will bring us-through many trials yet, through deep sorrows still lt. may be-to greater happiness and prosperity, perhaps, even than that for which we struggled. Bot, Mr. Chairman, I have already said too much, where words are hopelessly Inadequate. . The resolutions were then unanimously adopt ed, and, after a benediction by the Rev. Dr. Wart? ier, the meeting adjourned. "In Oatvrard Symbol." The flags of all nations were at half-mast in our city and harbor on Saturday, tn token of rever? ence for the memory of a man mourned by'hu? manity. St. Michael's bens tolled throughout the day. Business was very generally suspended at 12 o'clock, and many of our stores were draped ?n mourning. Prominent among the hitter were the establishments of Messrs. J. R. Read A Co., C. H. Jobnsan, James E. Spear. McLoy A Rice, and W. Dayton. The hall of the Phoenix and iEtna Fire Engine Companies and that of Hook and Ladder Company, No. l, were also decorated with simple taste. At Hr. George s. Hacker's factory the old Palmetto flag drooped around its staff as though lt, too, felt the weight of our peo? ple's grief. The Sad Event In the Churches. Yesterday the chancels and altars of St. Michael's, St. Philip's, St Paul's, and the Church of the Holy Communion were draped in black, and in all or the Episcopal Churches the ^sweetly simple prayer set forth in the ritual of that de? nomination for "a family in affliction," was offer? ed up, one of the pastors substituting the word nation tor family. It ls worthy or note that this is the first occasion on which St. Michael's has been ciai l? mourning ror a layman since the death of General Washington. In most or the churches or the city appropriate allusions were made to the loss or our people, but at the Citadel Square Baptist Church the Rev. Dr. Wlnkler de? livered a most eloquent and beautiful eulogy, which we shall have the pleasure or presenting. In rail to our readers In to-morrow's NEWS. ASSAULT.-"Major" Flckllng was knocked down In Queen street on Saturday night by an unknown party, and was stunned lor about twenty minutes by the rorce or the blow.

Tue Savannah papers say of their performances In that city that Mr. W. P.

Shel? don, whom oar readers will remember as one or the favorites of Mrs. Oates's very popular troupe, gave great satisfaction as Lorena. We bespeak a watm welcome for the troupe. SCNDAT SCHOOL CELEBRATION.-The semi-, annual celebration of Trinity Sunday Sehool took place ot Trinity Church yesterday afternoon. The church was ailed with the little pupils and then older friends. The exercises were opened with a hymn and scripture lessons, which were followed by an appropriate prayer by the Rev. H. M. Mood. The superintendent's report showed that the sohool ls ta a very flourishing condition. An ad? dress on "The Bible" was delivered by Master Hervey M. Cleckley, in a very creditable manner, as was also the dialogues between Masters Ren? dait and Nelson, and W. A. Walker, Whitehead and D. A. Walker. The singing was better than ls usually heard at these celebrations; lt was joined in by the whole school, and was led by Mr. R. M. Edwards, Miss Mary E. Mood playing the melodeon. An address was delivered by Assist. ant-Superintendent V. C. Dibble. SPECIAL POLICE.-The following are tho names of tho special police, appointed by Cap? tain ii. w.

Gadsden, Crocker, Parker, Perkins and Cuarlon; also the following eteeplemen: Bunch, Hogan, Whipple and ??exton, Ten additional special policemen will be ap? pointed to-day. GEOLO?T AND MININO.-A good, practical geologist has been a great desideratum here ror sometime. During the past two years, more es? pecially, there has been almost dally Inquiry ror an expert who would undertake the examination or phosphate lands, or lands supposed to coorain phosphate rock; who should give a processional opinion on the character or the land, on the quan. tlcy or the deposit, and approximate estimate cf the money value of such land. To do this requires thorough scientific knowlege, as also a practical acquaintance with geology and mining. Mr. Otto Moses, whose card appears In TUE NEWS this morning, had a thorough training in these branches for four years, at the world-renowned mining school In Freyberg, Saxony, where, after completing the regular course, he was engaged In exploring the coal Heids lu that vicinity, under the guidance of one or the most distinguished geologists or Germany. Mr. Moses, In addition to these facilities for preparing himself for his profession, has been engaged during the past two years on the phosphate beds In the vicinity of Charleston. Tuere ls plenty or work ror the young mining engineer, and we doubt not he will do lt well.

No I ff 3 n rt er lita' polltlolans, nigh ana low, are scbem inf abd contriving, every juanof them striving to ;rrlndi Ms own axe at the expense of his neigh? bor's grindstone. The Rerornrers, of coarse, are working wira tremendous enerby, the abase of their opponents spurting them on- to fresh exer? tions. The ScottiactloD, and; the' Sowen faction, and au the-minor .'factions, are doing , their level best to win. And the whole atmosphere is heavy, with the barden of jokes, rumors*and naughty, words innumerable. The "reliable gentleman" hae come to Uf? again, and these are some of the scraps from his weil-niled waUet: Daddy cain, ia-a ragtag article ta his mammoth weekly, unveils a horrid plot to be carried oat by the agency of C. C. Bowen. This ls nothing Uss than the election of General Bntler as Lieutenant Governor, the assassination of Scott, the disband? ing of the colored militia, and'the Importation of ton Georgia Ku-Kluxes, who will re-establish the Southern Confederacy, fix. the price of mised drinks at ten cents, return. General Grant to his tan-yard, and upset things generally.. The pri?e of this little work is (20,000, to be paid .by the Re? form party. Deary me ! the-Reform party is only rich ta honesty, Intelligence, and sincerity, and would not bay a vlctory of votes were: they sold like blackberries at ten cents a quart. Besides,. we Intend io elect Carpenter- as Governor. Gene? ral Butler will walk over the track ta 1812. Another or Cain's canards ls that Tim Harley wlU work the legislative wires, so as to make Colonel Slmonton or Colonel Lord the Judge of this circuit. But "Tim" won't be elected, which may upset bis plans somewhat. At. all events Governor Scott scented, the < trouole from afar and posted down to Charleston.' As he was wrapped in wadding, and guarded by j Chief Constable .Hubbard, be made the trip la ; safety, and on yesterday was In close confab, with DeLarge, Cata ana "sich like" worthies. The result of the pow-wow is not known; but DeLarge "sticks," and Cain, if he can't get what he wants, wlU take what he can ge;. DeLarge reels very cheeky. He expects, to ob. tain every white vote ta the Congressional dis? trict first, because he stands by .Scott through thick and thin, and we all do love Scott; second, because he ls put up as a colored mau against a white man, and lt wUl be or great benefit to the whites to prove by his election that, as the col? ored men have the voting majority, they are en? titled to all the onces in the State; third, bec aase sending a colored man to Congress may disgust the Northern Radicals and canse them to repent of all their manifold Sins and'offencea; and fourth, beca use so many estimable Southerners persist ta their bUndness, to their own interests. Che sara, sa.ro. ! Mr. DeLarge. Whether the Scott faction like lt or not, there ia to be a fair election in charleston City. Cpon the application of two citizens, United States Circuit Judge Bond has appointed a committee of two (one from each party) for each election precinct. These committees will stay with the ballots if rom the opening of the polls until the vote ts can tossed. .? Under the same law which, authorizes the.ap? pointment of these committees, united states Marsha! Louis E. Johnson has appointed a body ol' responsible deputy marshals to keep order and protect the voters at the several precincts. There will also be a corps of fifty special poUce m en, and Mayor Geddings promises that they shall be respectable and trustworthy. . . And, If there ls any troub'.?, all the white men In Charleston stand ready to aid Marshal John? son, or the municipal authorities, In keeping or- ' der and protecting the ballot. This ls about"all from the city; but Attorney General Chamberlain has written a letter-this time not to "my friend" Mr. Hurley-which ex: plains the swearing section or the election law. This is the letter: OmcB OP THE ATTORSET-GRNRRAL, > COLOMBIA, S. C., Octeber 16. j Majer E. ir. Setbels. Chairman Executive Com? mittee Union Reform Parti/. Columbia, S. C.: DEAR ?IR-Yours or the 10th instant, calling my attention to the provision of the election law or 1870, which prescribes the duty of managers of elections in administering oaths to the voters, and asking my construction of the same, has been considered. The language or the act ls as rollows: "The managers shall administer to each person offer inz to vote an oath that they are qnallfled to vote at this election, according to the Constitution of this Stare, and that they have not voted daring this election." This language can hardly admit of douM, and I am or the opinion that the oath mast be admin? istered to all offering to vote. I see the force of your suggestion that this will result ta some precincts in depriving persons of the privilege of voting, for waut of time to adT minister the oath. I can only say that I think lt will be perfectly lawfol tor the managers to ad? minister the oath by squads. In case no challenges are made, and the managers have no cause to doubt the right or the parties to vote. In the latter cases, the oath may be administered to each separately, ir desired. In this way, I think, sufficient time will be round to aUow au to vote. Yours, very respectfully, ' - D. H. CH AMBE BLAIN, Attorney-General.
