Rememberance'ia the golden chain
That binds us to the past,
When other pleasures fade away
Its gentle links still last
It is the net that throws a charm,
On all we've once loved well;
I And gathers round the heart again,
Many a joyous spell.
It comes upon us as a dream,
Oft beautiful and bright;
And bathes the spirit as it wore,
In soft and holy light.
It isthe fount from whence we drink
Sweet thoughts of dear oues gone;
It gives the heart again those ties.
It early learned to mourn.
With silken thread it leads us back
To childhood's sunny hours,
Whore pleasure waited on our path,
And strew'd our way wirii flowers.
And, happy 'tis to linger thore,
;r*r vontH.

Mr. Editor: Although your paper is principally
devoted to literature and politics, I presume
you will have no special objection to the

more directly on the subject of religion. With
this impression I have prepared lor your columns
a paper or two oil the subject named
above.
A reference to the Missionary cAuse as connected
with the M. E. Church, South is the
more important now as the time is at hand
when she makes her aunual appeal to the }>eopie
generally, in behalf of her missions. My

So far as I can iearn the Methodist Episcopal
Church took the initiative in this godly
work. About the year 1828 a mission to the
slaw population was established by this Church,
S.?utli of the City of Charleston, and was served
by one of h?-r local Ministers. And while en
gaged in the work of tiis Divine Master he was
attacked with the billious fever?and died.?
liul "tin- word fG< d was not bound"?and the
lallmg tl g >iati" was caught by the heroic heraid*
-if tin Cross, and their labours have been
crowned \vi:h ahur.daut success.

underground story to the large brick building
at the north east angle of Meetingand Cumberland
streets?a building known untii lately as
"Odd Fellows' Hall." In this excavation the
workmen have encountered portions of an old
and very solid brick work, indicating a structure
doigned for great durability and a class
and order ol materials and workmanship different
from any now in vogue.. Several horseman's
pistols a bayonet, part of a sword blade
and several cannon bulls?kuppos d by some
to be "chain shot"?have been recovered.

The exploration as yet has reached but a

The First Paper
We take from the Charleston Courier the
following account of the first newspaper enterprise
undertaken in the Colony ofSoutli Carolina.
In the year 1730, three printers arrived in
Charleston '?induced thereto by an encourage
muni hulri nut kr tho Aocnril.lv nf tK? Prnvirii>o
or by the Governor in Council. These printers
were Thomas Whitmarsh, Eleazer Phillips,
Eleazer Philips Jr. We have indications that at
least one press was put to work, during the year
1730 or early in the etisuingyear from tbepublition
of several pamphlets, and front references
contained in the South Carolina Gazette the
first numlrer of which appeared on the 8th
Jan., 1732, under direction of the printer first
named above. The first number was issued from
sign of the Table Clock on the Bay," where we
are iiifnrinekadvertisements would "be taken in
and persons be supplied with the Gazette at ?3
a year." Gentlemen in town were requested to
send for their papers every Saturday In 3
o'clock; papers for the country subscribers
would he kept at the office. The second hum
her beats imprint from the house ot Huah
Evans, near the Secretary's office, on Chuichstreet
at which place the Gazette was soon
after located and continued for some lime.
Eleazer Philips, Jr. died early in July, 1732,
and we find his father nearly two years after,
advertising in the Gazette for a setllement ol
all debts due himself or the estate of his son,
tor news, printing. &c?Special mention is
made of subscriptions due the deceased son
for six months' ol the. South Carolina Weekly
Journal?a name with does hot appear in atiy
of our earlier records of the press, and of which
we have found no other trace. Was there such
:< m-wspaper published by Pliilli|?s during the
first six months of 1732? If so, it was con
temporary with the Gazette, which has been
commonly repaided as not only first in time,
but for many years the only newspaper issue
of the city or province. The fact of three
printers arriving nearly at the same time, lends
additional probability to tho supposition to
which we are induced on the authority of the
advertisement.
A Gkbek Rohin Hoon. -TheFrench papers
have the following romantic uccount of the
manner in which that vicinity of Adrianople has
been rid of some troublesome robbers.
The house of a widow residing there was
entered and robbed of valubles amounting to
seven thousand piastres, her only wealth, by
seven men, who said they were members of the
band of Yani, a celebrated chief, who has gained
great renown in those parts and the poor woman
used his name in making her complaint. This
personage is asortof Fra Diavolo who seems to
have modeled himself after the brigand heroes of |
rymi?ii??. -Ih? is a Bulgarin by birth and robs
no one hut rich Turk-, whom he hates, and has
been known frequently to give the proceeds of
such an expedition to any poor person he might
meet. Hegoes and comes in the villages where
he is well received and treated like a lord. It
must be said that the rustic police are not much
protection, for they are too often connected with
the band themselves. This M. Yani goes through
i j; ?| I
l&e n.tntry roDDing me ncn, ueinenaiug me
poor, protecting the widow and orphan, and
even watching over the magistrates to see that
justice is meted to the rich and poor alike.
"Now, Yatii, learned that he had been
implicated in the robbery, and fully equipped'
paid the lady a visit. Trembling, the poor
woman begged hiin t leave her the little that
remained.
"But I have never taken anything from you,"
said the brigand.
"Are you no' then Yatii?"said she.
"I am most certainly Yani, and I come to
obtain the description of those who have abused
my name and robbed you.
A Krf.n Rrtort.? Some time ago Lewis
T.'imm11 of Ohio, (a notorious abolitionist,) had
" "ri i -- ? ? ^
the assurance to address a letter to Gen. John
II. Cocke, of this State, urging him and his
son-in !?* to emancipate one thousand slaves
whom Tappaii alleges these gentlemen hold in
hondage. This lei tor was published in I he
New York Tribune, and copied into many other
pipers.
'l'o this impudent letter Mr. Philip St. George
Cocke replies in the Whig of Monday. His
repl? is hi iif?hut it is a crusher. After quoting
Tnppau's let rer, he says:
'Now, sir, as it is well understood?at least
in the community in which I live?thai I am
the person alluded t'? hy you, under the de
.!? ! iion ,.f the 'son iii law' of Gen. Cocke, I

through a channel equally public, the contempt
I feel for the pharisuicnl, canting, and intg. n
t'emanlv tone and tenor of your whole letter,
ami of !>a> ing. sir, further to you, that when
y.ai, together with your whole fiateruiiy of
abolitionists, shall have clothed, housed, fed and
otherwise cared for, and improved 'one thousand
of the wretched free negroes in your own midst
or shall have done 'he same thing for 'one
thousand' of the white slaves and paupers
ninoim the tens of thousands of such who are
allowed to experience, every winter, in your
great cities, nil the miseries, of an utter physical
and moral destitution, and when you

a* much | hy-imi enmfoit, social and moral

consistency,' than you cun ever hope to do, al

Tlie Fall of Scbastopol.

tellidrunk;" the very boors look intelligent and
animated; the veriest dotard seems to half appreciate
the extraordinary occasion. The tmih
is that England feels as ii her day of rejoicing
had come; and she rejoices without stint or
measure.
The tale of the victory is soon told. On
Wednesday, the 5th, at day break, the fourth
bombardment, and by far the fiercest, the be>t
planned and the most effective, was opened
against Sebastopol. Prince Gortschakoffsays
the fire was "fiercely violent" and "infernal.''
It wa*. kept up incessantly until noon ot the
80), when the guu3 of the Mulakoff were silenced.
A fourfold assault was then made simultaneously
b) the French against the Malakoff
the Redan of Careening Bay, and the Central
Bastion, and by the English against the Great
Redan. A I these assault we"e for the moment
successful, but only the aiataKon coma no neiu.
'1 he English succeeded in gaining possession of
the salient angel cf the Redan, and the French
took both the Bastion and the Little Redan,
but these position were so commanded
by the inner lines, from which the enemy kept
up a murderous fire, that they could not be sustained.
It is said that on the two lower tiers
of the MalakofTthe French were sheltered from
the enemy's fire in front, Hnd were thus enabled
to make a more complete lodgment than

along been supposed, the MalakofF pioved the
key to Seba6topol, and no sooner did the enemy
see it in possesion ol'the allies than they
began to destroy the fortifications, explode
mines sink and l>urn their ships, betake themselves
to their northern defences. On the night
or Saturday, the 8 th instant, they evacuated
the.sonth town leaving it in universal conflagration
and ruin. Ol'the fleet nothing remains but
three small steamers.
In Gen. Simpson's first despatch, he Informed
us that "the attack against the Redan did
not succeed." Nothing was said of the cor
responding failures of the French in their assault
of the Central Bastion and Little Redan
and nothing to explain nor palliate what bore
the semblance of a defeail. As was very natural,
this occasioned no little disappointment;
it was rather a damper upon the jojMvitb which
the victory was received that the English did
not share the glory of the victory. Subsequent
dispatches, especially those of the chivalrous
Peliasier, have showed that equal bravery was
exhibited, and equal glory earned, by each of
j the assaulting parties: and, though there is still
| a sort of wish that the English could have taken
j a more brilliant and more demonstrative part
I ill the final consummation, no one can say that
any grudging or envy h observable amid the
universal enthusiasm which accords to the
French the chief laurels won on that eventual
day.
You will notice that only the southern part
of the town is, us yet in the hands of the allies
I the universal expression is that Sebastopul has
fallen Perhaps in the moment of success we

are again deluding ourselves as t<> tne oosiacies

place. It is, however,.represented that the
j uoith town cannot hold out long; that the forI
tress, though strong are noflarge enough to

lies will he able effectually to attaek them from
the south town. Tlio Russian army .s aiso in
a verv piecari<>us condition, and all the advantages
ol' position, numbers, supplies,and morale
are n<>w with the allies.
The other side of all victories must succeed
the bright side. As yet we only know in general
that the casualties were very heavy. The
English losi in killed and wounded 2000 men
in the attack on the Redan; and five or six
hundred of these are said to have been killed
The Sardinians took no part in theas-ault, but
they had a lew nun killed in the trenches. Ol
the French los9 we. know definite. ''Peupra

which to review this question.

Superiority op American Kulroad Iron*.
American rails are decided now on the best
authority, to be superior to English or Welsh
of the same price. The latter shell off and wear
out sooner than the Anirricun, and the superiority
of the American is said to be owing to the
fact that in the process ot rolling the rails are
reheated, while the foreign rails are completed
with one heating.

to take lessons in war at Sebastopol obtained
the Emperor's permission to visit Cron-tadt

A Fashionable Belle ax Saratoga.?
Saratoga is a magnet, drawing with magic force
thousands from every part. Some come
here to contemplate, to reverie, and to write;
others to grasp a -chance in the lottery of life;
while others are hero to admire and be admired.

She generally rises about 9 o'clock, A. M.,

have drank morn than.her neighbor; then sho :
returns to breakfast, and satisfies her delicate "
appetite by eating a half broiled ehicken,a
mall beefsteak, an onilet some milk toast, rolls
and coffee; and then she is ready to make a
conquest of the first mechanical body that wears
a vest. Then she rolls ten-pins for an hour, in yf
order to give her self color; then returns home
to dress for dinner, two nours are generally
taken for this; at the sound of the hell or the
gong, she sails In her dry goods into the dining
hall. The greater the expense of dress, the
greater the style, tho farther it drags behind,.the
more you must admire her taste. Whea> ?
she is seated she casts Hei eyes up and down
the table to see the effect she has produced,
then calmly prepares to do justice to the mate'
rials before her.
Fashionable belles are always fine epicures;
they can instantly detect the difference between
a tame or a wild duck. One hour and a half
is spent in dinner, and then for a promenade
and an arrangement into couples. Then is the
time when all will pass under observation;
every false diamond will be detected; no bachelor
but will be discovered, if he have a wig or

and every flaw will gape and spread itself, and

companion, especially if you have been whispering
low, you will be surely pointed at. Tho

must submit to custom without complaint.
The belle now takes her tea, and then she enter*
the ball room, and between flirtation and dancing,
she passes through the day and evening.
This is the routine of life, admirably adapted
to dpspeptic constitutions.
