A'ditors :-Tho signi ficanco of my nom (e puon (should entitle mo to your for bearanco if not venorativn, at least to the extent of a few jottings of the Christmas Fostival given by the ladies of Ridgeway and vicinity for the benefit of that stalwart corps, the "Moise Ligbt Artillery." For nooks this matter has been agitated, talked of, and noised abroad, and we all began11 to beliovo that strainIg sights would be witnessed, and that mighty events would occur. C-mn mittoes of ladies wero appointed, as sisted by a detail from the Battery, and they all went to work, with the i determination to make it a success, and you know, Moss & Editors, I nothing can be more tonehing than to behold iof t and tender females who have been all weakness and dependence, and alivo to every trivial roughness while treading the usual pa-ths of life, suddenly using a n unshrinking firmness and energy and mnastering those difficulties which often break down the spirits of men. Through the efforts of the committees the town amid country was thoroughly stirred, as i, has never been since the clarion voice of Hampton aroused it from its long slumber of lethargy. The people realized for the time thehigh duty they owed to tho old State and its citizen soldiery. The pro, gramme as arranged was for a Christmas tree in connection with a hot suppor. To meet this ar rangement, and in the absence of a more suitable building, the Masonic Hall sore-room had boon tastefully decorated, and a graceful codar reared to mot the requirements of our annual visitant from the frozen regions of the north polo, at the same time the adjoining store room was being fitted up for the purpose of serving the inner man with the essentials of life. Everything being arranged, the dawning of Christmas day was looked for with many mis, givings for the success of our do termined managers, for with their other difficulties they now had rain, mud and slop to contend with. The old adage, "they that determine half succeed" was fully verified, for they mot the issue squrelv and fearlessly, and determined to go ahead as though the "oriental god of day" wvas poeformning his usual daily duty, in un clouded splendor. At six and a half o'clock tile doors of tihe tree room wore thrown Open, and tile efficient dloor .keeper wvas soon1 besiegedi by an anxionls crowd of enger and bxpectanit signt seers. '"They, jostling, crowd in one wild rush.' There, bonding under' the weight of its varied and innnamorablo gifts, and glittoring from top) to b)ottom withl its mamny..colored tapers, stood the artistically arranged tree. This was a sight to both old and young well wvorth tile trilling cost to see. Thle numbers were soon1 called whlich created much excitemen tand amnusemnent-for a young lady to1 get a bunch of cigars or for a bashful young gent to be p)rosented with a tastily dressed doll. Among tile gifts I noticed some valuable ones, and my attenth,n was particularly arrested by a beautifully executed lamp-shade, made by Miss H. K., a young lady of the neigh borhood, and made a special present to the ci.p ain. The distribution over, the tree, shorn of its glory, was thrown out to make room for other amusements. Supper being next announced, lot me follow the nowv hungry audience into thle supper room. Here we find an amplo sups ply of all kinds of eatables too nu merous to specify. It is enough to say that overy tiling any one could call for wvas there and inl abundance The young ladies were acivo iand obliging in serving the tables, and I hink those young men who ato two or threo times should be excused, as 'twas hard to refuse when waited on by so much grace and loveliness. Supper over, tho young folks rei turned to the next room to enjoy the pleasures of the giddy dance, while the suppor managers disposed of as many of the remnants as possiN blo. Some of the cakes would have equalled in quality and beauty of design McKenzio's artistic skill. One of those, with the words in icing, "Moise Light Artillery," was purclased by the officers of the battery, and forwarded to Ganoral Moiso with their complimonts. Taking overything into considora.. tion, I pronounco the whole affair a grand success. The handsome sum of $90.00 Was realized, with a total expenso of not moro than $10.00. Had the weather been good, I have no doubt the proceeds would have reached $150.00 T,>o in.i praiso cannot be be stowed upon the managers, both ladies and gentlemen, for the activi ty and unflagging energy they dis played in pushing this entertainment to such a succesful termination. Whoro all did so well I will refrain from singling out individuals. I will merely say that the citizens of Ridgeway and vicinity are alivo to to its in torost, and intend, whenever the command "action" is given, to soo that their battery has their in.. divid' support. GnanocK. THE 1PARIS EXPOSITION. Senator Butler has written a let ter to B. F. Crayton, Esq., of Ander son, advising the representation of South Carolina at the Paris Con,. tennial. He suggests that the fol lowing specimens be sent : A small bale of our low country moss, with a brief description of the manner of its use in making horse collars, mattresses, &c. ; specimens of our phosphate and kaolin do posits ; different kinds of wood for building, manufacture of vehicles, &c., &c. ; iron, copper, gold and manganese; different kinds of pot. tory clay, with a brief description of the mannor of its manufacture in vessels, with a sample of the vessels; specimens of our soap--stone deposits, lime-stono deposits, clay for making brick, and a "specitnen brick;" granite and whet rock; bale or bales of our cotton; bale or bales of our different kinds of grasses; samples of our rice, and of every variety of our cereals and products which are not perishable; peanuts, cotton seed, with the oil made frorn them, with description of the mode of expressing the oil ; speimens of our flora and fauna ; specimens of our horticultural p)roducts, fruits, &c.; specimens of our manufactured goods of every kind and dlescription. fIn fact, we should have on exhi bition -specimens and samples of everything in the State wvhich will iorm the world uf our resources. If drawings could be mado, without too much exp)ense, of the water pow ers on our streams, and of our manufacturing establishments, with the location, latitude, climate, acces sibility by railroad or water tranis portaLtion it would be very desirable.. LIBERIA N ExoDus.-Yostorday there, were some seventy-fivo negro wamon,. b 3aring children in their arms and small ones following them around in this city, with the intention of leav ing for Liberia to-day. They had boon duped into the idea that theogreat. steamnship) was to leave to-day, sold. out all their chattles in their coun try homes, and came here with the. requisite greonbacks for Liberia. On Rutledge Avenue they presented. a fearful sight. Melancholy, sore and disappointed, they sought the race. course to lodge for last night, and see Emancipation to-day, hear exo dus speeches, and try to live on until the ship arrives.-Journal of Con merce, 1st inst. It is stated as a curious factr that the recent relapse of Senator ?at torson into a condition of danger-. ens nervous prostration was caused by t he sudden and' violent"ringing of the door-bell by a bel ated ser-. vant, His ner'vousness mus~* been fearful, that so trivial currence could have affected i~ seriously.
