S?>DlT-SCSOOL CELEDIUTIOV OF THE SEC? OND P&ISBTTBRIAN C U C B C H.-Tne annual celebration o? the Snnday-school of this churcn took place cn Saturday afternoon at four o'clock. The church was crowded ed-In the pews along the middle aisle and around the pulpit-wltli_ the numerous pupils of the school, between three and fonr hnndred of whom were present. Along the si-'e aisles were the numerous friends and relations or the pupils, who exhibited a high degree or Interest In the proceedings. The Rev. pastor, Dr. Smythe, con? ducted the services, assisted by the Rev. Messrs. Adams and Wightman. The proceedings were opened by the singing of a hymn, '-Marching On, " by the children, led by their accomplished musi cal teacher, Mr. Thos. P. OW'eale. "I Will Sing for Jesu3," was sung next. Alter which a prayer was offered up. Arter the next hymn, a selected portion of Scripture "was read, and the children all joined in the hymn, '-My Glorious Home," In which thc boys and girls alternated in tue verses, and both Joined in the chorus. The time was well marked, and the alternate responses pro uuced a pleasing effect. A handsome Bible, splendidly bound In calf, was then presented to R. C. Gilchrist, Esq., the superintendent or the school, by Mr. Averill, with a rew remarks in behau* or the school. The book ls of the largest size, and bears upon is gilt clasp the following luscriptlon : 'Tresented to our beloved superintendent, R. C. Gilchrist, Esq., by the Sabbath Scltool of the Second Presbyterl 5 Church, May, 1871.'" Two beautUul Bibles or smaller size were then preseuted by the superin tendent-one to Miss Ellen Bold, and the other to Master George W. Cason-as rewards ror their having brought, during the past six months, the greatest number each of pupils to the school. A beautiful sewing machine was also presented to Miss M. Tiramons as a rtward for the highest de? gree nf punctuality among her class, and on her part In attendance at the Sunday School. The beautiful hymn, "The land beyond the river," was sung next, after which the superintendent, R, C. Gilchrist, Esq., deliveied a touching vale? dictory address to rbe school. Alluding to the noble answer of David, when King Saul asked him "Who art thouf" the .speaker Impressed upon his hearers that they were the sons of Carolina, and drawing a picture of her former proud post, tton, earnestly exhorted them to stand by tholr State In this her hour of trouble, and not to be ashamed of her whom God was but-purifying by afllicion ; that they were the sons or the church whlcl their fathers built up sixty years ago, and to which they shoula devote their energies and their time; that they were the sons ?f the Sna- . day school In which, twenty-live years ago. he bad entered npon the duties of a teacher; a school where .the simple doctrines of eternal truth were taught, and where all should try to Improve the blessed privileges there enjoyed ; lastly, that they should endeavor to be children of God. He concluded with these words : This is probably the last anniversary I shall ever spend with you. lu a few days I will bid adieu to the home of my childhood and these scenes or my lanc-rs, to go as au exile to a strange land. Fortwentv years I have been ynnr super? intendent. Called to this responsible office in my early youth, you bore with my inexperience: Stood by me lu seasons of difficulty; co operated in ny plans for the welfare of the school, and edu ?ted me ror this post of duty. I have seen the ?isplng infants, brought by their older sl-ters to the school, succ?s lvely passing from r he Infant? clasH through higher clas-es and the Bible class, until now they are honored teachers. I have heard many a dear child singing our sweet songs a's tl cy were passing thia ihevailty of the shadow oj" death, until their ears caught thc new songs of Ute Heavenly land. But. I must go and le.ive these scenes, perhaps, forever. Vet, I am not sad. I only take my plough to labor iu another portion ol the same great field, while I leave behind me those who will take up the work where I pat lt down, and can v lt on to fruition. Look np, dear brethren, the fields are white for the harvest-the . reaping time ls not far od. Tne address was rec eived wlih deep attention, and the pathetic conclusion had a marked effect upon bis sympathetic audience. The children then Joined la sloging "I he Valley of Blesiitig." The hymn which rollowed/'HomeoftheSon'," was Bung by the musical leader,Mr. Thomas P. O'Ncale. The psplls now tiled out of the church, singing, as they went, the well known "Marching On," and proceeded to the lawn in front of the church, where a table had been, prepared, bountifully ?pread with all thc delicacies that could be com? passed by the juvenile |m igiuation. At snort in? tervals, beautiful fruit cakes were placed, and the Interstices presenting a most tempting array of smaller cakes, confectionery and golden fruit. After a blessing by the reverend pastor, the youthful pupils fell to with a will until al' were satltifl-d, aud bore in knotty handkerchiefs sweet fragments or the roast. The attendant ladies and gentlemen were also Invited to participate. The admirable arrangements .?ere Ute theme or general remark, and thc celebra'ion; as a whole, reflected much credit ou thc prosperous Sunday seht ol and Its efficient teachers. 8l*NI>AT-SCH00l.

There arc dark rumora that the recent arrest or Majo'r Samuel Dickerson, In New York, which ex? cited so deep and widespread an Indignation in this community, was a '/put up job," or, In other words, a conspiracy on thc part of some of the major's Radical associates here, who were turn? ing green with envy at his political and military prominence, aqd whs hoped In this way to hav? got him consigned not only to the Toombs, but to Sing Sing, with shaven pate, for a term of years. We arc glad to bc able to announce, on good au tho: tty, that the vllianous scheme has failed. Sam ?olaced his durance vile In thc Toombs with his favorite pastime of draw poker, and ls now once more triumphantly at large.

Bishop ls a host In himself-a cure for the blues, aud a reme? dy for the dyspepsia, while the Chapman Sisters, supported by a carps of actors aud actresses as good ns any that we have had In Charleston, complete the sum of attractions that should draw a large audience. The comedies performed by the troupe are In themselves worthy of all praise, and most enjoyable, in fact, if they should confine themselves strictly to come iy and farce, leaving burlesque for an occasloual per? formance, they wou d draw houses equally large and enthusiastic as now. "Checkmate" and "Fra Diavolu" are on the bills for to-night. Seats may be secured without extra charge. LAUNCH OF THE WATER LILY, THE NEW IN?
