OPENING OF THE FEST. At an early hour yesterday, the silence of the lovely spring morning was broken by repeat ed discharges from the email brass piece, which form3 one of the pet appendages to the German Ride Club, and before the twelve guns were fired, riflemen and citizens were seen hurrying towards the Citadel Green. On the way thither, the various escorting companies were to be seep falling in at their respective places of rendezvous, I c and filing oil by twos to the headquarters of the 11 German Rifle Club at Licdstedt's Hall. The green hunting shirts of the latter were already thickly inster8pered among the crowds or citizens, and t the Carolina Ride Club, which also assembled at t this point, was quickly on the ground, and fell in % at the southwest corner of King and Calhoun streets. The other Invited companies soon made their appearance, and, nuder the prompt and t energetic marshalshlp of Captain Melchers, of the i Schutzengesellschaft, the FORMING OF THE PROCESSION begun. At the head was the small brass cannon, j t already mentioned, drawn by four stylish gray | t horses. In care of a small detachment of the Ger? man Rifle Club. The little piece, which had al j t ready announced the festival far and wide with r liz brazen lungs, was tastefully ornamented with I t wreaths of evergreens, and wabbled merrily along in its peaceful holiday garb. Twelve target pointers with their .statis followed, dress d in red flaunel sh rta and Sotch caps with I rosettes. The. formed a striking picture, and 't seeme.l carelessly indiff?rent as to the position I they wert soon to assume In such dangerous I proximity to the marks for hundreds of rifles. - Nest in line was Muller's brass band, In full nu.: bera,and with Instrumenta brightly burnish? ed, (lUggcstlvc of the ma-tia a ad inspiring strains which were soon to reg?late with marked cadence the march of the gallant corps. A platoon of the German Ride Club followed close behind, escortlug the visitors from the North, who rode in three phaetons, accompanied by Major F. Melchers, of the Deutsche Zeitung, and General Wagener, ex-president of the Ger mau Rifle Club. The visitors are Captain P. Als good. Herman Grahlps, Lieutenant S. C. Haur andandK. Karwlese, or the Broolyn; Captain Gerdts and Lieutenant H. Welbrock, of the New York Schntzencorp3, and Captain Heu ry Ever- I c ding, of the Brooklyn Independent Sch?tzen. j r The Carolina Rifle Club came next In the line of I t march, and elicited not a little admiration for their trim and soldier-like appearance. Their uniform consisted of a gray hunting shirr-, edged with green, and with green collars, and cuffs aud shoulder straps, pants black, and black slouch hat, with the left brim turned up and held by a greer, rosette. The whole make-up was exceed Inglyneat and tasteful. The club turned out .sixty men, and made decidedly a handsome show. In their centre file, escorted by members or thc German Rifle Club, was borne the splendid ban? ner which was presented to them last week. The officers are as follows: T. G. Barker, president; 0.1. Walker, first vice-president; C. K. Miles, sec? ond vice prejldent; F. K. Unger, third vice-presi? dent; J. W. North, fourth vice president; Thomas Frost, Jr., secretary and treasurer; C. R. Va'.fc, ensign. Next in order came the Charleston Riflemen Club, parading sixty-five men. It is scarcely ne cessary to say that their uniform attracted much attention, seeing that lt was composed of the ever-memorable gray con, with green collar and cuffs, dark pants and black slouch hat with a rreen rosette. The company was armed with Remington rifles, aud as they marched up to their place In the procession, their familiar appenrancu was thc theme of general observation. Their or Bcersare: A. J. Muns, captain; L. Cavuniugh, first lieutenant; F. E. ?uruec, sec?n l lieutenant ; Thomas E. Uo^an, third lieutenant; J. w. Mid rey, orderly sergeaut; H. D. Bicalse, seer?tary: H. 0. Due, treasurer. Next to them came the Washington Rifle Club in a handsome uniform, similar io that of the Carolinas, with the addition of a green fringe across Hie breast. This company presented a splendid appearance, and turned out sevemy men. Their oflkersare: Colonel J. F. Hunt, pres? ident; S G. Horsey, first vice-president; T. G. Boag, second vice-president; Louis Sherfcrsec. third vice-president; Peter Fallon, secretary and treasurer. The Adger Rifl? Ciub. bur. lately formed, came next, lu a dazzling uniform of willie flannel shirts trimmed with green, collars und cuffs, dar* pants, and the u UHI black slouch hats looped up with a green rosette. Thc company paraded I'M men and their striking uniform and orderly deport? ment attracted geuerat attention. The < Ulcers are Colonel W. L. TrenhOlm, president; R. C Barkley, hrst vice-president; T. s. sigwald, seo omi vice-president; J. W. Reed, lh:rd vlee-presl dent; F. Plepper. fourth vice president; A. J. Jae ger, secretary and treasurer. In the rear of the band drove the four kings of the preceding years : Messrs. Theodore Melchers, L. Dunneman, R. QoetjVn and Louis Muller, in a handsome pha?tou. Their majesties reclined graceiully upon their honors and the dower-deck* ed cushions; and wore across Muir breasts the insignia of their distinction-a broad black red and gold ribbon; the old German imperial colors, adopted by thc Frankfort Parliament m 1S43. All the preceding companies were a mere guard of bono: to THE GERMAN RIFLE CLUB, which, being'he main feature or the procession, of course was the cynosure of all eyes, and they certainly formed a splendtd picture In their well known uniform of a g ecu hunting shirt dark pants, and black felt ha'.s with green feathers. In the muzzle of each trusty rifle was a bouquet or flowers, the "good luck" or some fair one, which luves ed the occasion with additional ro? mance. The company formed au Impo-Ing front, with :2D0 men, under thc following "Ulcers: A. Melcher, president; F. Puckhaber. vlce-prcsl dent: ? . Ansel, sc mizeiini- istcr; John 'Jarvis first officer: L. Uuuneuian,, second officer; F. J. I ' Lillentnal. third officer; U IU-lns, fourth uilicer; William Semkeu, fifth officer; John H. Peterniau, treasurer, and C. EL Bergmann, secretary. THE TRIUMPHAL CU MOOT, drawn by fo ir handsome bay horses, with heads all adorned with flags, followed immediately alter the Sch?tzen. Tac vehicle was bcaatttuUjr deco? rated, and boru twelve little girls, dressed :u white, with handsome green sashes and waving flags of ad colors and combinations, repr; st-m mg the different. States of Germany. Tue wheels w? re ornamented with large wreaths, and tu b dy was covered with a variegated canopy of cloth and Howers, on willoh the German colors prevailed. The canopy was supported by 'our columns of aroor-vtise and roses, and cer ihe ce tre was a representation or the Imperial crown of the new Binplre. surmounted by the nacional fla.:. The lot", ensen?le was striking aud b-autiful. The Turnverein came next, in their simple, cool looking uniforms of brown linen, adorned with red badges. The socle turned out aboat forty members, and grew b. aaiifully less iront the bmad-bouldered athletes at ihe head to where thc juvenile Turners, o' diminutive size, brought up he rear. These are taught by. and allowed lo practice with the members of the society, muli the^r age or accomplishments entitle them to the honors of membership. The officers are: Julius Or?mann, president: E. Stleili, vice-president; F. Orth, secretary. Tiley carried a Hag with the Turner motto, -'Frisch, frei, froh."

At a quarter past 6 o'clock the line was ? notion, and with a crash of music from Ma land, took up the march down King street, windows upon this gay avenue were filled idralrlng spectators, and ever and anon a mee of flowers from some fair hand fell i tome handsome riflemen, as he marched b< sometimes they missed,their mark, and the lomflted thrower would be greeted with ?miles and bows of some unknown unif vlille the unconscious object o: her demon ion marched on just ahead.

Wheeling up East Bay, the column' ued Ks march to Market street, and filed thro he latter street to Meeting. In this street irocesslon marched in open order, and the lm ng spectacle of six hundred Chaiiestonlans 1er arms and marching with measured trea he music of two brass bands, was for the i ime in a long number of years presented to lew. In this manner the column proceeded ll they reached the South Carolina Railroad ?ot, when a special train of cars bore them awi o their destination at the Schutzenplatz. ON* THE PLATZ.

Cap? tain Melclicra then invited the uniformad guests io partake of a COL'.ATIO!', und. breaking their order, th? guests proceeded to the handsome tables in toe rear or tue build Inns. A collation at once delicate and substan? tial was here in readme s, and received rmi jus tire at the hands or th? gu?sis. The national lager flawed In a l its rich mellowness. As th? riflemen arose tickets lor the target shoo'lng were distributed, and, short ly after, a single shot from Hie howitzer announced that tho SHOOTING CONTEHT il Al) UKO UN. Into the shunting gallery poured tua rfl-men green white ami uray-und som the sharp crack Of an hundred nflrS t ld lhat the sport had com? menced in good earnest. Th. re were twi Ive re? versible targets placed at a distance i f two hun? dred yardj, mate or wh.tc canvas, with a black Circle In the centre, enclo-lng the white bull's eye, about t ree Inch's in diameter. Tites- were the principal ones for the pnae shooting There were o hers to suit every one at every distance, and the doomed eagle one? mon- appeared perch? ed ap?ii a lofty pole ai the distance or two hun tired yard* from the shooting boxes. .Much good shooting was done during -the duy, and one crack ?hot was observable, when the shooting ?as over, waik nir quieilv around with some twenty or more .?? turora-'tickets In his hat band. To thc right, of the repul ir shoo'bair, si aud ls the AIH GOS OALLEBT, where a private citizen, without the charm of green tum'nings on his coat, can enter, and. up n payment of a - m u bonus, shoot with the rest. The g.llery Ls handsomely dressed wlih flags, and was weU patronized during me day. A short distance to the right ls the public salle ? manger, and in an apartment nsar by, enclosed with several glass windows, are the nnmerons and valuable prizes, In hopes of obtaining which so much powder is now being burnt. Pitchers and cups, forks and spoons, watches and canes, and satchels, and gold and silver, are all there, making a magnificent display, and Imparting a most provoking tremulousness to the trigger-fin? ger. P.eturning towards the principal building, the arrangements for the GENERAL AH0?EHEXT3 greet the visitor. Here is erected a large mast, beautifully smooth, tapering and thickly smeared with a slick coating of tallow. Near tho top. swings a tempting lot of toys, and other articles most attractive to the surrounding throng of urchins. An ambitious scion *of Afi le's sunny clime makes the bold attempt, ascends a few feet, and then gracefully slides back to his starting point. Another 'cute one, with pants rolled up to an alarming height and arms bare, tries the slippery ascent, and getting a little higher, again slides to the bottom, amid the laughter of the as? sembled crowd. This process continues until the grease ls rubbed off, and by dint of a pocketful of sand to counteract the downward tendency, some lucky climber touches the wished for goal. The basket ls let down, the victor chooses the prize, thc basket ls again drawn up, a little higher this time, and the fun begins anew. Another -burst of laughter carries you to the next crowd, where in an enclosed space ls placed a broad bowl of molasses with a few five cent pieces at the bottom. The juvenile Fifteenth amendments are again brought Into play, and making a bow to the balcony and crowd, thc seeker or hidden treasure plunges his face lu the thick, gummy liquid. After a few dives, be seizes one or the "nickels" with his teeth, and raising his shining, mahogany looking face, the winner dashes for water io prevent suffocation. Near by is a smooth, greased, revolving pole, placed horizontally on two supporters. A piece of money ls placed on one of these; the urchin ascends and ?tarts from the other. On either side of the pole is a canvas bin, one filled wit h wheat flour, and the other with soot. A few steps sufllce to start the pole revolving, and struggling lu va:n to retain his balance, the victim-is precip? itated either Into sooty Scylla or mealy Charybdis. If he can make the choice, he takes the flour, and comes out amid a shout of laughter, making a hideous ghost-like reconstructed appearance. Another crowd are watching the tilting opera? tion. A car 13 drawn to the top of an Inollnc plain, and held in position until thc sable knight ls ready with his wooden lever. Ha?f way down hangs a backet filled with water, directly over his track. He expects to strike thc bucket in a particular place and lu such a manner that hu will overturn the bucket Jost behind him. Vain hope' The bucket overturns when he Is exactly beneath lt, and the unsuccessful tilter Li drenched by the chilling cascade. On a platform close by several colored Juvenile lovers or the weed are invited to take a smoke, and each being kindly furnished by one of tho amusement committee with a fragrant Havana, a reward or Av?cente Is offered to the one who gets through his first. Alight ls strnck, and la- a mo? ment volumes of smoke are ejected as If from en? gines getting under way. The joke ls good, and the smokers ar? dolig their best, when suddenly u tremendous puff, of smoke envelopes the head a -d face of one or tho puffers, aud his cigar ex? plodes In the centre. The others fight shy, and smoke wearily, but in vain; and the same catas? trophe attend each amid the shouts of the by? standers. These and various other amusements, and the day passed off In tue pleasantest manner. In the bail-room, a fine band kept the dancers well em? ployed up to the hour of closing. The'large number of booths on each side of the main building were well patronized, and ice cream, soda water, cakes, fruits and cigars were popular. In all of tnese thc national drink was dispensed, and lager flowed profusely throughout the day. The capacious grounds were flited with a large number or visitors, and the first day or the Sch?tzenfest was all that the most sanguine could have anticipated. THE SURVIVORS' ASSOCIATION.-An extra meeting of this association will be held this eve? ning, at 8 o'clock, at the Charleston Library. A large at'endauce of the members ls requested. POLYGAMY.-An examination of a man on the abuve charge, which lins been progressing for sometime past, before Trial Justice Mackey, was iluished yesterday. The defeudaut was married a few years ago, in this city, by thc Rev. Dr. Glraideau, and after awhile abandoned lils wife, and taking up with another woman as a single m m, led her to the hymeneal ulta.*, where a sec? ond marriage took place, the Rev. Claudian II. Northrop ofliclatlnir. Nut satls?ed with this per form >nce, our would-be lingham Young left his second wile fur a new victim, to whom he was .??oon after married by the Rev. Mr. Green. His vacillations between the last two aroused thc flame of Jealousy, which lcd to the startling de? velopments above stated.

General Pike prefaced his lecture with a few re? maries upon the extreme camion ucees-ary in speaking in public upon Masonry, before au audi? ence not all Initiated into its m.\ stories. Thc ora? tor then delivered his lecture extempore. It wus full or interest, an hough, of course, much of what he said was only intelligible io Masons. As a whole, the lecture embodied a great many fine doctrines. The speaker began with the antiquity of Masonry. He traced its history from the earliest periods; showing that it was originally conceived for the purpose or maintaining free? dom ol' thought, and opiulon, and to resist tyran? ny aud oppression. That lt ls a great. :n-ia? agent in the world for the dissemination of truth, and the development of brotherly affection. He expressed lils firm co.ivlciiou in Hie fact that Freemasonry would yet become in this couniry the grand uisrrunient for therefor mai inn of our people, briugiug them into closer walk and more cularing .'run ship one wi.ii another. Ills remarks embodied an excellent sys? tem of mural philosophy, which not ouly spoke o' deep and earnest thought, but evinced a charity HSjinghc as the sun at noontide. Simple and en? tirely free from auy display lu his manner, earnest aud honest lu his expr?s ions, thoroughly conver? sant, wi h bis subject, and loving lt for the good whh h was ia It, he has sown "the word" widen will i ot be lost, and wnich will, we (Irmly believe, bear much fi uh, eveu in tin: Immediate future. After the close of tue lecture anni her Masonic ode was sung, followed by a prayer read ny the Rev. J. H ilotiuur, after which he audience dis? persed, apparently '.veli pb-as ed with tue lecture.

Gaines, was re? cognized OD 'ist Sunday erming: Tie church was fully organized on Sunday morning by the election of officers; after which lt celebrated, for thc first time, the ordinance or the Lord's Sup? per. The occasion was one of deep interest. At 8 o'clock tn the evening tac recognition services took place. A sermon anproprlate to the occasion was preached by Rev. W. H. Williams, of Vir? ginia, after which the pastor of the new flock. Rev. Mr. Gafhes, made some statements Rhowlng that the church was regularly organized after he order of Baptist churches. Rev. L. H. Shuck, pastor or the First Baptist Church, d livered a pointed address .o th? new church, counselling them as to ta ir new responsibilities and the im portaoce of the work ts bo done by ibem. At the close of these remarks the right hand of lellow ship was extended to the officers of the new^y constituted body by Pastors Williams and Shuck, and by Deacons Heriot, Mllnor, Henorey and T. P. Smith, of the Citadel Square Baptist Church, and by Deacons Hyde and Stlcox, or the First Baptist Church. The room was filled to overflow? ing, while many went away, and others stood about the door, not being able to get seats. This infant church ls in great need of a suitable house of worship, which they are in the act of building. When it ls remembered that this church is in? tended to meet the spiritual wants of the labor? ing people aud tho poor in that part of the city, thc importance of giving them pecuniary assls ance in building a church ts readily seen.
