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. !
Happening to be in the nighborhood, he :
was presont in Memphis at the late railroad
jubilee, and at a banquet was called out in
a speech, which is thus alluded to by the j
correspondent of the Charleston Standard :
** Hon. J. L. Orr, of the 5th S. C. Congressional
District, responded to the call,
and entertained the company with a speech
replete with sentiments of Southern patriotism
and social good humor, and in the
course of it took occasion to pay a just trib
ute to the efforts of Hon. It. W. Johnson.

which the Government has extended to

Adelphiau Anniversary.
This Society, connected with the lTinnan !

of the I'hilosophian Society, Honorary Members,
the Faculty, and preceded hv tlie
Greenville llrass l?and, Iliey marched from

where the Anniversary Oration was deliver-1

At night, we had the pleasure of attend- j
ing their Anniversary I'arlv, which was giv-1
en at Mel ice's iln'l. Seldom have we seen
an array of beauty excelling that which ]
graced the Ilall on the night of the 15th j
ilist. The room was beautifully d. .'orated
with festoons, garlands, wreaths evomuvns '
. . I
inscriptions, Are. During the evening the
company was enlivened by music and the j
introduction of all the little etceteras of the .
season. A sumptuous supper was spread (
for the accommodation of the invited guests
and others. The time was spent agreeably
in conversation and promenading, and all J
seemed merry and well pleased. Long may I

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.

tho Southern Baptist Convention, which assembled
in Louisville, Ky., on the 8th inst.J
lias determined to locate the Central Tlieo" j
logical Institute at this place. 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."

and have good stocks of good'. Hotels are |
well kept, of which there arc several, and of- j

the town, one under the charge of Mr.

A
Singing SchoolW?
refer our readers to the curd of Mr.
JTbnry M. Butler, who propose* to organit?
a clans In singing. Mr. Bctler comes
mnongst us highly recommended, as a gentleman
and aa a teacher. 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."

A NoVBI. PutPB PIRIFORM AHC C. lUlph
Waldo Em?r*on mod* hi* appearance in a
Boston pulpit last Sunday. Mr. Emerson
was formerly ? 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

j A pKct'i.iar Lawsuit.? A young man !
j has brought a suit at Louisville against a I
young lady under the most peculiar cireum- j
(stances. It appears tlint she resides in the I
> I vicinity of Louisville and has long been con.
; sidered the belle of the circle in which she j
I lived. llor suitors were numerous, and j
i j many offers of maniagn were refused. 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. The |
newspapers chronicled the npptoaching nun- ;
tials, and the young man lavished the most j
f! expensive presents on his intended. On the
1 ! mat tinge eve they attended it ball, and dttr- I
r | ing the dancing the lady complained of in !
^ j disposition, which becoming" no belter fast,"
she "asked her affianced to conduct her
' home, which he did in the most tender
1' manner. Arrived at home they hid adieu,
.' with fond anticipations of the coming day
which was to sec the "twain made one."
! Mill during the night the lady grew worse
land at sunrise she was a mother. The
* young man said that he could never have
