snail scourge, and drove oat those that bought and sold, and over-turned the tables of the monoy-obangore, eayiog, . 'It is written, my houae is the houso of prayer, but ye have made it a den of th loves." It is a desecration to uno the house of worship for publie purposes whereby mouey is made, such as leotures ou various subjects, concerts, fairs, Christmas trees, &o. The venerable speaker raised bis voice in utter condem? nation of all suoh practices, and Binoore ly hoped this new church would never bs desecrated by any suoh uses, ns ho viewed mauy of them SB not a whit bet? ter than genteel dancing parties. Reverence for God's houe >, he grieved to Bay, was boooming less and less. He has seen ministers of the Gospel so far forgetful of the saorednoss of the boase of God as to put their hats on as soon as they leaye the pulpit, or even the com? munion table. They would show more reap cot in General Grant's house, human and faulty as ho is. Remember that the new ohurch is to be kept pure aud clean, and let your oonduot always be reverent. Tho ohuroh is no placo for gossip, or to ask questions concerning the orops, or acquaintances, or politics, or the news; but enter it with reverence, SB Hoses took off his shoes in the holy place. Walk to your seat, kneel devout? ly, and always remember that you have como there to meet the Lord Jesus, and treat him with due respect. Lot not the eloquence or ability of any minister be your reason for attending this church, and never forget that you meet in the name of the Lord Josue Christ, and not in the name of any mortal man. Me? thodism has been running down io mnny of these matters of late years, and is suffering fearful losses. The time has oome for us to start ancv. Do not come here to gossip and frollo, but bo sensible; oome to think and feel and pray, and God Almighty will come down, and the pontaeostal days will oome again upon us all. My desire is, ere these trembling limbs are laid in the coffin and consigned to the silent tomb, to Bee those days re? turning. Paul says, whether we be be? side ourselves, it is to God. If these people were beside themselves, it was not insanity, it was to God. And now I commend you to God. I shall never see you all again in this world, but I shall never forget Columbia. Though South Carolina did not give me birth, yet she gave me a living place until I entered the university. I have been a traveling preacher for sixty-six years and nine months, and am ready to spend and be spent in the service of my Lord and Master. God Almighty bless you all, and enable you to work worthy of the high Galling in Christ Jesus. If you live as you ought to do, you will find there is no ebb tido in your Christian experience, but ono steady, onward flow from conversion until doatb. There is no suoh thing as shrinking grace, but only the never-changing love of tho ? Lord Jesus Christ. Hey. Wm. Martin read the following hymn, which was effectively rendered by the ohoir: When to the exiled seer was given A rapt'roas foregaze into Heaven, All glorious though the visions were, Yet he behold no temple there. The New Jerusalem on high, Hath one pervading sanctity; No sin to mourn, no grief to mar, God and the Lamb its templo are. But we, frail sojourners below, The pilgrim heirs of guilt and woe, Mast seek a tabernacle'where Our s cutter'd souls may blend in prayer. O, Thou who o'er the cherubim Didst shine in glories veil'd and dim, With purer light our temple eheer, And dwell in un veil'd glory here. Rev. Sidi H. Browne then offered tho following prayer: Almighty aud everlasting God, thou art infinite iu all thy perfections, and marvelous io all thy works. Thou hast made the world and all things therein; und seeing that thou art Lord of heaven and earth, thou dwellest not in temples made with bands: thoa art a Spirit, and art worshipped iu sphlt and in truth, in all places of thy domiuion; yet we thank thee that thou dost allow ns to build houses for thy service?, wherein thy people may attend upon thee without distraction. We bless thy holy name for putting it into the hearts of thy peo? ple to build a house, at this place, for thy worship. We beseeoh thee to in? spiro us with zeal, that wo may both have a mind to the work, and may suc? cessfully accomplish the same. Muy neither adversary nor evil ocourreut hinder this work; but may the good hand of our God be upon us, that in due time we may bring forth the head-stone with joy and praise. May this BU no tua ry, when completed, long remain a house of prayer for all people, where incense shall be offered unto thy name, and a pure offering, and thy word and ordinance Bhallbe duly administered, aeoompanied by the influences of the Holy Ghost. Here may multitudes be born again, and be nurtured in knowledge and piety; BO that they may be prepared, in the kingdom of thy grace, for nobler wor? ship in the kingdom of thy glory. We are unworthy, O Lord, through our manifold sins, to offer thee any sacrifice; yet we beseeoh thee to accept this our bounden duty and service, not weighing oar merits, but pardoning our offences, through Joana Christ our Lord; by whom and with whom, in tho nnity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory be unto theo, Father Almighty, world without end. Rev. Manning Brown read several ap? propriate passages of Scripture. Rev. Lovick Fierce then placed the hermoti oally-sealod box in the cavity prepared for it, a marble cover was placed over it, and the following prayer pronounced: We lay the corner-stone of a houso to be built and set apart, from all worldly uses, for divine worship, in tho name of the Fathor, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Arnon. The entire assembly joined in the Long Metro Doxology; Rev. Wm. W. Mood prononnood the benediction, and the ceremonies were ended.

COLUMBIA. S. C. Frilay Morning, September 22.1871. A. J. Ransier, the oolored Lientenont Govornor of South Carolina, and Chair? man of tho Republican Stato Exocutive Committee, publishes a letter in the Charleston News, strongly opposing the proposed declaration of martial law. Ho thinks tho oivil powers amply suffi? cient to ropress existing disorders, and that martial law, as a remedy, would be worse than the disease. THE COMINO WAR IN EUBOPE.-Mr. Schuylor, the United States Minister at St. Petersburg, wrote, not long since, to Mr. Fish : 1 'Tho officers of tho army aro said to be nearly unanimous in favor of Franco aud of a war with Germany, and I know of several occasions where toasts have boen drank to tho ruin of Gor? mans." Tho most extensive militury preparations are goiog on both in Russia and Germany. Ono cause of tho irrita? tion between thc countries is tho state of the Russian Baltic provincos, which are inhabited by Germans. Tho Muscovite Government has for years sought to in? troduce tho Russian language and laws among these people, and tho effort has been as steadily opposed. It is known that tho Cabinot of Berlin has favored this opposition, and, in consequence, a very bud fooling has been brought into existence. THE UNITED STATES SENATE.-On March 4th, 1873, twenty-four seats in tho United States Senate will become vacant by the expiration of the torm of offioe. Of the twonty-four Senators whose terms will expiro at tho date men? tioned, throe-Garrott Davis, of Ken taoky, George Vickers, of Maryland, and Franois P. Blair, Jr., of Missouri aro Democrats; tho roznaioing twenty one aro Republicans. Tho latter com? prise some of tho leading and most ex perionoed members of tho Renato, such as Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois. Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana, James Harlan, of Iowa, Rosooo Conkling, of New York, John Shorman, of Ohio, Simon Came? ron, of Pennsylvania, and Justin D. Morrill, of Vermont. Although tho dato when tho scats of those Senators will Do? como legally vaoant may appoar a long way off, yot this full nine of the States represented by some of them will oleot Legislatures, by whom tho next Sena? tors will bo choson. A year hence Le? gislatures will bo oleoted to ohooso tho romainder of tho Senators. Tho Greenville Enterprise calls for ii publio mooting, to consider tho practico bility of a railroad from that oity 11 Asheville, N. 0. RADICAL MACHINERY FOB CARRYING EIIBOTIONS.-The Washington Patriot asserts that the olorka and of?oials in the Government service there are forced to join dabs representing their several States, and that these olnbs are part of the Radical machinery for carrying elec? tions. Tho members are ezpeoted to voto at all local elections in Washington, aud OIHO to go home and vote again in tho States they come from. In addition, thoy aro regularly assessed a pnrccntugo upon their salaries for election purposes, and this per centnge in to bo deducted from their pay on tho lat of Sopiorubor. Tho Patriot adds: "It is notorious that tho sumo system has been adopted throughout tho country. Ileuce, the pooplo uro not only taxed for the sup? port of thousands of needless nnd in? competent ofiico-holdcrs, but funds thus misapplied uro used to prevent tiny re? form in tho oorruptiou, prodigally and usurpation of power which aro tbo dis? tinguishing traits of this nd minis1 ra? tion. " When Grunt wns nominated in 1868, Gen. Frank Blair said that, if oleotod, he would use the army and navy to perpe? tuate his power. It is now proved that Blair was right. Grant was lately asked by a newspaper oorrespoudout, in con? versation on tho recent election in North Carolina, "What would you have done if North Carolina hud not satisfied Repub? lican anticipations?" and the answer was, "I have the power under tho Ku Klux bill lo have made her." That infamous enact? ment was mada for tho sole purpose of enabling Grant, tinder cover of tho forms of law, to re-elect himself-though the bill itself is openly and notoriously in violation of tho Constitution. DEATII OP MB. WM. HEYWAUD.-This well known and esteemed citizen died, yesterday ovoning, nt 9 o'clock, at tho residonco of Mr. Berkley G ri mimd, iu this city, after a short and sudden id ness. Mr. Hey ward was a Carolina gentleman of the old school. Ho was an extensivo and successful rice plnuter, und owned large tracts of land in thu neighborhood of Pocotaligo. His plant? ing operations were always conducted on a largo scale, and ho took pleasure in making this a success. His aversion to tho excitement of a political lifo was well known, and formed ono of the eccentri? cities of a nature nt once warm-hearted and noble. - Charleston News. On Friday last, Mr. Archie Lowborn, residing on or near Little CoharioHwamp, in Sampson County, was fouud mur? dered. Ho had started from homo that morning, ns usual, to go in tho swamp to get shingles, and not returning in the evening nt tho usual time, his wifo bo came alarmed and requested s o ruo of the neighbors to go nnd search for him. They did so, aud flually discovered his dead body in tho swamp, whero ho had boen waylaid and shot. |j Barley ! Barley ! PLANTERS can have SEED BARLEY at tl.25 por bushel. Ternis cash.

SON. C. R. HOLMES" v otton Factor and Commis. Merchant, ACCOMMODATION WUAttF, CHARLESTON, S. C. August 10 t3mo MARVELOUS ESCAPE OF THIS OLD TOWN FROM COMPLETE DESTRUCTION.-On Ba* turday night last, a little before 10 o'clock, oar community was surprised and alarmed by cries of "Fire!" The ohuroh bells rang oat wildly, and in a few minutes tho wholo male population, white and block, was gathered around the barning building. This was tho long and roomy stablo bolongiug to tho hotel, tho proporty and residence of 8. S. Tompkins, Esq., and standing imme? diately in rear (about forty-fivo foot from it) of tho largo two-story wooden build? ing owned by Capt F. Li. Smith, but oc? cupied by Mr. M. A. Murkort as a work? shop aud undertaker's rooms. Tho sta? blo was rented by Mr. Walls, who runs a hack between this and Pine House De? pot. When tho Uro broko out there wero iu the stablo four horses and throe or four vehicles belonging to Mr. Walls, also a considerable quantity of fodder. Tho horses and vehicles were promptly rescued, though not without considera? ble peril to tho rescuers, tho fire having spread almost throughout tho entire building, liy the timo tho crowd assem? bled the stuhle was totally past redemp? tion, and tho only thought was to save Mr. Markert's shop. Tho said building stauds on tho buck street, olmost'in roar of, and extremely near, tho long row of stores commonly kuowu as Park Bow. Had it caught fire, tho wholo public squaro of Edgofiold would hayo benn in? evitably doomed to dostrnction. Tho wind blow tho flames directly against it, while showers of huge ciudors were borne aloft, falling, ns thick as hail, upon tho roofs of Park Kow, upon tho Adver? tiser oflieo, aud upon tho drug store of Murkert Sc Clisby. Every merchant in town expected to seo his -storeroom and his goods consumed iu a few hours. The tremendous rains of Friday night had so thoroughly saturated tho shingles, however, that they withstood it all. Aud to this fact, no loss than tho bravo work of our citizeus, while and black, must bo attributed the saving of our public square. The scene was a wild i and startling one for Edgofiold. Tho j content:- of Mr. Markert's shop, consist? ing for the most part of coffins of various sizes and styles, and also a hearse, had been hastily moved out, and those lyiug about tho squaro, or leaning against tho chains of the Park fence, gave to the oc? casion, as tho flames glared upon thom, a very weird and tragic character. But many people worked wisely and unre? mittingly, and tho building was saved and with itali tho business part of Evlgo field. And most of theso peopie who worked so well were freedmen. It bas become rather the custom of tho prosent day to publicly praise tho efforts of tho colored people on such occasions as the ono we desoribo. But in this caso we mean no conventionality and no stuff. Tho conduct of tho colored pooplo wus simply as bravo, as noble, and as unself? ish as it oould bc. Thoy worked with a vim and cheerfulness which" was alto? gether spontaneous, and which had no motivo but that of doing right. And a pleasant fact to note, was that a number of colored men who may bo called lead? ers hereabouts, were not tho least promi? nent in setting a good ex-implo. And even a few colored women rushed in and made themselves conspicuously uaoful. Ono-Eliza Simkius by nama-lugged such quantities of water, and so unre? mittingly, that she may well bo culled hereafter "the firo engine." And now tho other side of tho picture. Aftor tho danger and suspense were over, came tho fun. The blacks, who had behaved so well-and had so forcibly called to mind their old timo faithfulness during tho war-were almost literally bathed in whiskey. In fact, both white and black needed it strongly. Tho Messrs. Durisoo and Markeri Sc Clisby sent forth tho fluid in buckets aud tubs, and for ouco iu our life wo saw whiskoy go begging. And after tho whiskey carno tho d.mce, tho song and tho gene? ral jollification. Upon tho wholo, it was au extremely rousing night in this dull town. As to tho origin of the fire, the gene? ral opinion is that it was caused by tho carelessness und inattention of those who frequented tho stablo. Tho loss of Major Tompkins is estimated at $81)0 or 01,000; that of Mr. Markeri, from da? mage to furniture und lumber, about S3U0. -?tigeJleUl Advertiser, DEATHS.-Wo regret to chronicle tho death of General John W. Guytou, which occurred-nt his residence, iu this Couuty, on Saturday last, ofter n brief illness. General Guyton was a popular and influential citizen, and served tho peoplo of Anderson most efficiently as sheriff for ono term. Ho was brigadier geuoral of cavalry somo years prior to the war, and always manifested great in? terest in tho volunteer organizations of this character. Also, tho sud intelligence has roached us that Mr. Preston L. Dean, of Fair Play, is no moro. He has been in fail? ing health for somo months, and it wus feared that ho would never recover from tho prostrating illness. Mr. Dean was a native of Laurens District, and had been a residont of this sootion about fifteen years. Ho wa-3 a warm-hoarted, generous friend and an exemplary citi? zen. Ho was about thirty-five years of age. -A nderson Intelligencer.
