^hwWMPM1' II Mareury } A? Palmetto Association. \f?Wer oar readers to the graphic and Tory lalemeting report of the entertain men t givw fey the City Council of Columbia to the Palmetto Association, on Thursday eveniug last, which we clip from the South Carroflnian of Saturday, the 10th inst. We h?d p**J>*r*d ? report of the proceedings, but prefer to miash ours and publish the one given by tho Carolinian. Among the many very Interesting incidents ot the Palmetto Regiment, which were ' related on tlie evening of the entertainment, 1 * there was one which was not told, and to us j it was one of the most interesting, (lie most thrilling scenes, among tho many which oc cured on the fatal field of Chnrubusco. When tho Palmetto Regiment was left alone on that bloody field, surrounded on all sides by overwhelming numbers of mor cilese, and treacherous foes, who were pouring volley after volley in rapid succession through their ranks, each of which told with fearful effect, the voice of the noble But lor oould bo beard high above the r.oise and horrid din of battle, animating and encouraging his boys to do deeds of valor.? u Remember South Carolina, iny boys," was his watch word. So long as the voice was heard, hia boys moved slowly, but steadily on. Suddenly that voice ceased, and was heard no more; but then there came a crv, which swept down the lines quick as lightning, u Butler is killed! Butler is killed !"? The regiment was para!ized ; their arms unnerved; all hope of victory had fled?for their head, their gallant chief, their loved father, had been taken from them at a time when he was most needed, and they felt that they wero orphans indeed. The gallant Shields saw, at a glance, the effect tho fall of Col. Butler had produced on the Palmettocs; and, putting spurs to his noblo iron gray, rode up the lines, crying out, " Pal mottoes, you have lost your Colonel I?now avengo his death I" In stantly the legiinent recovered, and, with clinched teeth, grasping their arms firm, thero catno a shout, followed with a cry, " Oo on, General, we'll follow." "Charge bayonet I" commanded Gen. Shields, and in a moment the serried ranks of the foe were piorced by the bayonets of the Palmettoes. and soon they wero flying in all directions. As a gallant comrade once said, " like clouds beforo an angry wind." This charge ended the long and bloody batllo of Churubusco, for as soon as it was known that the Pulque Guards?the dandy regiment of the city of Mexico?were rout eu, the forces at the hlc jxjut, the convent i and the bridge, lowered their flags, and vie , tory, for the Ji/th time that day, perched upon the American Hag. Anniversary Celebration The anniversary celebration of the Palmetto Association took place on yesterday, and was the occasion of a beautiful, and imposing demonstration. Elevating and most commendable in its design, it was tasteful and complete in its execution. We were pleased to notice that many of the places of business were closed during t lie celebration, as a mark of respect both to tbe gallant dead and the honored survivors of the Palinettoes. The procession, escorted by the fine body of soldiery, the Volunteer lhittalion, passed through several of the streets of the city, and finally reached the Court House square, where a commodious awning had been prepared. The procession then divided, and proceeded to the stage in inverted order.? On the stage wo noticed the Governor, Col. L. M. Keitt, and the remnant of the Palinettoes present?about thirty iti number.? The Judges, also, honored the occasion with their presence. The exercises opened with a beautiful, earnest, and Appropriate prayer from tlie Rev. Robert W. Barnwell, who among, other tilings, besought the favor of Heaven upon the widows and the orphans of those 1 members of the Palmetto Regiment, who j bad fallen in the cause of their country. The President of the Association, \Yr. 1$. Stanley, Esq., then introduced to the audience the Orator of the day, Gen. Samuel j McGowau, of Abbevillo?a man of fine appearance and soldiery bearing?who, in nar I rating things of which he was a great part, j entered con spirito into his theme, and in a clear and eloquent style, gave expression to j the sentiments of his truthful heart. Liken ; gallant ship, with sails spread, and colors li ving, he bore down upon bis subject, and af- i ter grnppling with it, withdrew sadly, amid the cries of the dying, and the moans of the sick. Of the living he forbore to speak, but to the dead of the Regiment, he paid elo- ; qucnt tributes. We fully intended to attempt a report of, this very admirable address, and took notes ! for that purpose, but we really feel tbat we j would do injustice to the Orator, were wo to ' undertake it. We therefore await its nuhli- I cation in full, anil will only add, in aildi- , tion to what we have already said, that ; the Palmetto Regiment has been happy in their selection of Gen. McGowan as their exponent on this occasion.? Carolinian. Col. Ona.?Col. Oir is now in the West. !

Accompanied by the members of the I'hilosophian Society, Honorary Members, the Faculty, and preceded hv tlie Greenville llrass l?and, Iliey marched from the University to the old liaplist Church, | where the Anniversary Oration was deliver-1 ed by Mr. Jamrs McHkyuk, a member! of the Societv. lie had chosen for lii* i , j theme, "The Object and End of Study. lie acquitted himself well.

And there's the blnukherrj* time yet to conic? i no necessity of being frightened.

' * ' 4it A Hew Temperano* 6t?P We loarn from the Lraomworth (Kansas) Journal that " a number of intelligent and benevolent gentlemen liave recently organi- i (?<l an original temperance association, in i that city, under the name and style of 'Al- 1 pha Legion, No. 1, of the Independent Order of Aquarians,' which promises to result in tho reformation of ninnv, nifcl Jllje confirmation of others in temperance principles and habits." The editors of the Journal (of which our old friend, Iuzan J. Kick, formerly of the Anderson, (S.C.) Advocate, is the junior, and with whom we have, in days past, had many a newspnpor tight upon the subject.) are among the initiated, ami thus extend the invitation to others. 41 We extend our JCW to all of our fellow-citizens, nnd cordially invite each , and nil to join us in tho stiifo against the! deadliest enemy of our race, King Alcohol." We welcome this new order as a co-worker in the causo of temperance. Anything | that works for the good of the poor fallen j inebriate, or that will prevent the young | uien of our country fiom becoming drunk- j ards, has all the support and encouragement! that we hic able to give it.

Wo copy from the Carolina Times the following items 1 relating to the subject : 41 When the committee on tho subject of| establishing a Central Theological Institute, j made their report, they also stated that the Baptists of South Carolina had offered an endowment of ?100,000, to be paid by tlie 1st May. '08, upon condition that the institution should be located ill Greenville, South Carolina, offering, also, other imporla n privileges. The report recommended the acceptance r of the generous offer, and preset iho I that an ( additional ?100,000 shoula be inised at huge. . . . . I A highly interesting discussion ensued,' and finally the report was adopted with entire unanimity. This decision inaugurates a groat enter-! prise. The institution is designed to be of the highest grade, and will meet a long fell! want of this denomination." -??? .

We had occasion, some \ ten days since, to stop for a short time in : the town, and must confess, to an agreeahlc! surprise, at noticing its rapid growth and neatness: " w a i.it a 11. a.?This place, within the: limits, contains now a population of fotirj Imndicd or more, and is raj idlv increasing, j A few years hack it was only a grove, and I if then one had predicted that soon there j would he a flourishing town luiilt here, he I I I I I I _ wdiuu 11 ii v is uhmi n'j^rtrucu jis nisHJit1.??

To day, you see a pile of lumber ill the i streets, to morrow a house is raised, and ere' we know it, is occupied. We have not had ! the oppoitnnity to ascertain the exact number of stores, but it is not short of twelve, all ' of whom seem to have a good patronage, I and have good stocks of good'. Hotels are | well kept, of which there arc several, and of- j fer every inducement f<>r summer in good fare, pure air and cold water, with cheap; boarding. Two nourishing schools are within the town, one under the charge of Mr. Cramer, which we have not yet visited?the other, under the charge of the Rev. Mr. i i'anseiner, being a thorough Classical Acad- j einv, in which the Kuglish, flend, and Mod-, ern Languages are taught.

We clip from the Augusta Constitutionalist the following very beautiful description of The *Flowcr Queen, or, the Coronation of the Rose, (as represented by the young ladies of Mr. Butler's school,) on the first of May, in that city : " The representation of the Flower Queen, or. The Coronation of the Rose, last evening at Concert Hall, by the young ladies ol Mr. Butler's singing school, was a complete success. Twenty-five or thirty young and beautiful ladies appeared upon the st?g< dressed in appropriate costume, nnd repre seating tho different flowers, which were competitors for tho crown of the Floral v?ium>i1. The stag? was decorated with a rich profusion of tiowers and evergreens, tastefully and skillfully arranged, and looking and listening, one could easily imagine that he had stumbled upon some quiet retired spot, cmbosomed in woods and flowers, where representatives of all the bright tribes of Flora had met to settle a question of precedence. The songs of the operetta, roiiio of them dif ticult enough to test the powers of the most mature and well cultivated voice, were given with a skill and an effect which would have been creditable to more ambitious artists?the contest was animated and well sustained and ended, " accoiding to the programme," ia the triumphant success and coronation of the Rose. The audience had no disposition to quarrel with this foregone conclusion of the programme. Altogether, it was a very pleasant entertainment, as the large and delighted audience who attended it will tc-lify." The Quarterly ReviewK II.

UnUarian clergyman, but he left the pulpit fifteen or more years ago. Mr. Emerson discoursed, oh the present occasion, lo a crowded audience in llio Music Hall. There was no reading of Scripture, prayer, or benediction, Attending the services. So says the New York Time*. We have heard of a performance of Hamlet, in which the character of the Prince of Denmark was left out bv particular request, but we never before heard of religious services in which there was neither reading of Scripture, prayer, nor benediction. Prayer is the very essence of devotion, and is observed by every body of worshippers of whom *e have evci read any account. The Par sees pray to the Sun ; the Moslem invokes i tho Deity ; the followers of Confucius oiler I up petitions to their Supreme Heing; the American Indian prostrates himself to the Great Spirit; even the fetish adorer of Southern Africa pours out an ignorant supplication to his fish-bone ; but it has been reserved for a ltostor. clergyman to refuse the exercise of humiliation before tho Almighty Disposer of Events, and erect himself into a i great Apostle of Ueason, preferring at the I same time to enunciate his own cloudy evangel, rather than read to his hearers the plain, light dispensing, words of the Gospel. Truly, the modern Athenians have a gny way of their own, and aro becoming very like the ancient Athenians, to whom Paul preached upon Mars Hill.?Exchange. Si'rgicai. Operation.? We witnessed a lew days since a iiiun successful surgical Opefation, performed by Drs. Holland & Hen, rv, of our Town, without pain to the patient. Wo were present during the entire operation, and the patient evinced no symptoms , of suffering. The operation was the remov ; j al of a largo tumor, weighing near two onn- j | cos from tlic forehead, immediately above j the left eye. The forehead was cut at least I two inches, at light angles; the scull j bone laid bare and ncr<ipe<t; the whole pan thoroughly cleansed and litter! tip. and . when the patient had taken the antidote for the Chloroform, and sat on the table, protested most vehemently that no operation hud been performed. Nothing but a lookingglass could convince him that the tumor had j been removed. When showed the matter tnken from Ins forehead, his reply was, 44 I j did not believe any body eonid do that, J without my feeling it." Wo mention this | fact, because it bas been asserted that no I such operation could bo performed tbis side | I of Charleston. Let the incredulous cali on Drs.

Aj . slant time since she met with one to whose earnest and sincere devotiom she yielded so | j far as to name the day of tnariiage.
