EASTER SUNDAY. j Last Sunday was a beautiful and , charming day. It appeared as if ; it had been especially created for the i great Christian festival of Easter. The congregations at all our , churches were large. The Decorations and Services at Grace flVmreh. As usual, the Easter decorations at Grace Church exhibited the sarae refined taste and beauty of design which always characterizes this annual manifestation of the labor of love by the ladies of that church. The flower garden and the greenhouse were required to contribute lavishly of their means for the joyous occasion. The first object that attracted attention was a large cross in front of the chancel, and facing the middle aisle. It stood about six feet high, and was decked with evergreens and garlanded with blight flovrers of every hue. From its base to the cross was entwined a living fnschia, in full bloom. The baptismal font was covered with evergreens and flowers, and fronting the reading desk and pulpit were placed whole plants of calla lilies in bloom. The desks were fringed with evergreens and flowers, and the chancel railing wore a garland of cedar and ivy. In the middle of til? arcfi over tne cnancej, was suspended a beautiful floral coronal, made entirely of geranium flowers. Gracefully falling down tlie sides of the arch were garlands of evergreens. On the walls each side appeared the words, in letters of green, forming the sentence: '"Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also." The window back of the chancel was draped with wreaths of evergreens, and on the glasses were embroidered the mystic letters, "L H. SM" in German text Surmounting this was a lovely floral crown. The muiiic stands of the choir were dressed with evergreens and flowers, and on the wall above the organ was suspended a beautiful floral harp. This latter "" ? nwiAti mAof firnnioitx, r\4 all WCW3 (UUUiig UlU Jluvou v^u.iu*w v* ^ th e floral constructions. The Trails of the church and the chandeliers were also decorated with flowers and evergreens. Morning Prayer was celebrated at 7:80 o'clock, and the Litany and Holy Communion commenced at 11. Rev. E. R Miles selected his text from the 25th chapter and 8th verse of Acts: "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God raises the dead." The music throughout the services was grand and inspiring, and we refer with especial pleasure to the rendering of the Easter Anthem, the Te Deura and Jubilate Deo in the moraing, and the Cantate Domine and Benedicte Anima Mea in the afternoon. The services in the afternoon were chiefly devoted to the annual celebration of the Sunday School. After the services the Roll of Honor was read by Mi*. Paul T. Villepigue, the Superintendent of the Sunday nmKro ooo f Vi A UUUVUl* JwJJLXO iVU WiUh/iuvvu VJUW names of the Sunday School scholars who have been in attendance fortyfour times or more during the year. Masters Willie Wilson, Johnnie Gilbert and Walter Villepigue were awarded the prizes for having been in attendance for fifty-two Sundays in the year. Mr. Villepigue was agreeably surprised when Mr. Miles presented him, in behalf of the Sunday School, with a handsomely bound volume of the Two Litanies. The services were concluded by the congregation singing the hymn, "All Hail the Power of Je3us ?Jame," The Presbyterian Church?Mr. "Willson's Sermon. At the Presbyterian Church, the Presbyterian and Methodist congregations worshipped together, and the pulpit was occupied by both Mr. Huy and Air. "Willson. Mr. "Willson preached the sermon, selecting for his text the 9th and 10th chapters of Deuteronomy. ^The topic inferred was The Pemerln fnr A rh)erxihr~?(i ftpr a A%v..rv?.j -- jf rr alluding to the world-wide depression of all interests and industries, and stating the fact that the Deity sympathized with men and nations so suffering, the first consideration suggested was The Games of this J)epress>on.TT? Chiefest of these were mentioned the enormous expenditures in our late war, and in struggles in Europe; the loss of millions of men slain in war and destroyed by disease and famine; the loss of labor and pro^ per consumption of unnumbered armies for many years; the consequent disarrangement in the supply and demand of products; the destruc tion of property by fire, flood and blight; injudicious commercial transactions upon the restoration of business; failures in contracts and the resulting loss of confidence; disturbance of labor customes; the continuance of the demoralizing influences of life in camp, and the frauds and other wickedness apparent in so many places. The Remedy by "which these causes could be counteracted and their effect removed was said to be a far reaching and generous revival of true religion, and as element^ especially* needed in such revival were restitution to God and man, oconoray in the use of the fruits of labor, integrity in all business affairs, industry in all classes and compassion towards the unfortunate, whether , such be creditor or debtor. Restoi ration was urged as the indispensa' ble requirement preceding all spirit ual and temporal improvement. Not [ until it was made could there be divine blessing or hopeful effort. After this, upright labor and compassionate economy would build up i wasted fortunes and enrich impoverished countries. 7 he. Sufficiency of the Remedy was . the last consideration. It was insisted that the divine grace would *#t upon any nation or community, or individual obeying the command of the text, and this favor would produce temporal as well as spiritual prosperity. It was also argued that such piety and practice would certainly restore that confidence between mail and man, which was so necessary. In Conclusion, Mr. Willson expressolt flppn svmnathv for the people X- -J "X v A * suffering under the common adversity, and exhorted them to take courage : and, sincerely obeying the divine command, to toil on in expectation of better days. He said he ws confident they would speedily oe rewarded, and he knew if they were faithful, they would at last receive an inheritance that could never fade away. After making his appointments for next Sunday, Mr. Willson feelingly alluded to the kindness of his people towards him during his recent illness, and returned to them his grateful thanks. At the Baptist Church. 4 In the morning, Rev. Mr. Therrell selected his text from the 15th verse of the 22d chapter of Luke: "With ? - ? ? j?- ?^ desire I nave ueiirea to em, luih passover with you." His sermon was appropriate to the occasion of the Holy Communion, which rite was celebrated by the members of the church after the morning service. At night a large congregation attended the worship. Mr. ThSr. reU preached from a text composed of.parts of the 30th and 31st verses of the 16th chapter of Acts: "Sirs, wh$t shall I do to be saved? And thqy said believe in the Lord Jesus Cl*ist." Mr. Therrell first alluded to*he adventures of Paul and Silas uAi their first landing at Philippi; tnB many trials and'humiliations tJ^^en countered among the people, aj^Bhe great difficulties they overc?e and the grsmd results they finaly accomplished while working for our saviour mere, nc men in an eloquent manner flpoke of the simplicity of the requirement which God has exacted, as the means of salvation: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ" Mr. Therrell closed his remarks by exhorting his hearers to Jose no time in coming before the throne of grace and embracing that penitence and belief which would in*re them a place in the glories of tha better country. the Story. On last Thursday, an intinerant, who gave his name as John O'Leary, oY-vwUnrl fa fVit> frvam ftnfhnrifipfi for a Ti'"u" ? license to sell sos.p. He demonstrated his manner of selling before the IiHendant and it appearing to his safcfaotion that it was legitimate, a license was granted. The mode of selling the soap was to number the packages up to six, and sell thom for five cents apiece. When six packages were sold, he threw a die, and whatever number turned up entitled the holder of the pgu&age with a corresponding number to twentyfive cents. In short, it was a kind of prize chromo arrangement, the chromo in this instance being the picture on a twenty-five cent town script. The seller got five cents for every six packages of soap he sold, and the lucky one among the pur cnasers got a quarter. Mi*. O'Leary had not made much from his business on Thursday and Friday, aftd -was depending upon the nickles he might gather from the crowd on Saturday to count up his profits. But there is where hemade a mistake. He was arrested on Saturday. The warrant for his arrest was issued by Trial Justice DePass, upon the affidavit of Mr. J. K. Withspoon, as Warden, and the offence charged was gambling. When Mr. O'Leary was brought before the Judge, he stated that he had no intention of violating the law. He thought he had gone to the proper authorities, and had paid them for a license to pursue his business. If he had done wrong, however, he woflld pack up his traps and leave the town. He was informed by the .Tnd on fVinf flip ftmnnnt nf 87.1/5 had aopnmulated in the transaction, in wiy of costs. If he paid this he coiid go; otherwise he would have to go to jail Mr. O'Leary protested that he had not that amount, and to jail he went. Through the kindness of Mr. H. Ellis and Mr. S. B. Latham, who stood his bond for the costs, the youqg man was released from jo.il 'Saturday night, an4 on Monday morning Trial Justice DePass reconsidered his action of Saturday, and concluded to dismiss the ease, upon payment of jail fees, which amounted to 85 cents. Mr. O'Leary has left Camden.

A great deal of cotton is being planted ? some of the farmers planting very little of anything else, hoping thus to make enough money to fay for everything olse they may need.
