MISS ALDERGOTTI'S ACADEMY. Was closed for vacation on last Wcd m t nesday the 25th, and will remain closed during the Summer months, affording that mental and bodily recreation so much needed both to teacher and scholar. The career of this popular and estab lished school has been a success since its opening, and each session adds to the roll of its scholars. The faithfulness and thoroughness of the mode of instruction imparted, and the special care manifest ed for the moral training of the children placed under the charge of the principal, affords advantages which are seldom to ho had in similar institutions. The in centive which 'impels every effort of the child and moves.it to success, is a desire to please its teacher, I his acts as a charm overall the scholars, and a generous rivalry animates the entire class room. The exercises of examination showed a proficency and degree of study, that re warded both child and preceptress, and covered fully the capacity of the exami nees. Upon tho conclusion of the exam ination aud review of studies, there was a charming treat of recitation from sev eral of of the scholars. Master E. Glo ver led off with a happy liltlo speech, "Vacation." Misses Mary and Ella Bull, nnd Misses Belle DoTrevillo and Carrie Izlar, formed a quartette of bright descanters on "The Birds." The "evan gelical dialoguo" by Misses Ada DoTro ville and Fanny Jennoy was rendered in a felicitous style. Miss Minnie Ed wards seemed 1q appreciate the fervor of thought which glowed in the author of tho "Two Cities," in her recitation of that beautiful piece. Miss Julia Jenney 's rendering of tho "Saerilgeous Gamesters" was an achiovmcnt of study and taste.? Miss Fanny Jcnney's "Editor," would havo repaid the attention of the crowd, who think the tripod a bed of roseate ease; "Look A loft," by Miss Abbo 11 ut son, "Eric," by Miss Emily (Scovillo, and the "Miser" by Miss Lena Jeffords, were all beautifully delivered. "Que ries/' by Miss Bessie GlovefT ''Tbc May Quecn." by Miss Gcurgio' Norris, "G\m found Arithmetic," by .'Bliss Mary Bull, "The School Room," by Miss Lucy Dan ger, "Tho Little Family," by Miss Otis Whitnioro, "Adieu," by Miss Lizzie ?Buii, "Sorrow and Joy/' by Miso Clara Wiles, and "Morning and Noon," by Miss Neta Sifley, were pieces all rendered in a tasteful and creditable stylo. Master Charles Danner told of tho "Thoughtless Young Man," and Master Theodore Jef fords actually was radiant in his "Close of Term," and full of hopes ? of bright holiday. Atter five months of hard study, and closo application, both of scholars and teacher, the list of prizes was read, and awarded. . 1st prize Miss Lena Jeffords. 2d prize Miss Ada DeTrovillc. 3d prizo Miss Julia Jcnney. A Tic was made between Misses Lizzie Bull and Fanny Jenney, for tho 4th prize. In tho primary department the prize was won by Master Tiieodorc Jeffords. Owing to sickness, and not entering until several weeks after the session bud commenced Misses Edwards and Ricken backer did not compcto for prizes. Tho morale and touc of the school is of the highest order, and reflects credit upon the teacher who so fully deserves tho reward of a popular and prosperous .institution. communicated. Mr. Editor:?What must wo do when our papers and let'lors cannot be received from the office where they are sent? I did not get your ever welcome Times last week, and the same with the S. C. Advo cate, which ucver fails, unless something is wrong in the P. O. I also had a very important letter put in the office at Or angeburg#on 21st which has not reached me yet. Now Mr. Editor, if your paper had been the only ono missing I should have blamed you, but when there are so many missing at one time the P. M. must be at fault, and that P. M. is at Fort Motto. Cau you please call his atten tion to the fact, and perhaps it may be of some good to our community. ___-?- ? -Hr*-* " [We received the above, and publish it that the Fort Motte, P.

[FROM OUR CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENT.] Charleston Letter. Charleston, July 2, 1S73. "Blessed be the man who invented sleep, said "Sancho Panza," and in the same spirit, we are . inclined to sap,? blessed be the man who invented ico, and all manner of cold contrivance," calculated to cool and refresh scorching humanity, during the long hot sultry days of summer, and the close , damp nights?when every day appears as hot as it cau possibly be, and we only realize how much hotter it can become, by com paring to-day with the day proceeding? and when the song of the mosquito "is beard in the land." It is a fearful sub ject for contemplation, that this savage little creature lives entirely on man, and draws its subsistence from our most vital principle?and it is mortifying to chron icle, that only the "fair sex" of the mos quito race, (Les dams mos) pursue this murderous employment? but facts aro stubborn things, and naturalists aSsuro us that this is Iho case. The origin of the insect like that of a higher class of a "dusky color," is involved in tho deep est mystery, whether they arc aboriginees of our coast, or whether imported in the clothes or trunks of tho early settlers?? we have not been able to ascertain. It is however very evident, that the air and climate agree* wonderfully well with them and they evince no disposition to emi grate, but arc seemingly well content to abide in the land where their forefath ers llourishcd. To "bo fruitful and mul tiply," io n command they admirably illustrate?tho number of births in their family always being greatly in excess of the deaths. Their appetito is insatiate, and their behavior while feeding denotes exquisite enjoyment?plunging their proj 1)0818 or siphon deep into tho skin of the unhappy victim, the hind legs more in kicks of perfect satisfaction, and tin?, whole body quivers in an ecstacy of do light. Their temperament is highly courageous, no peril prevents their do prcdations, r.o danger deters them?and their triumplinnt strains nro heard, its the object of their attack engages in fruitless efforts for their extermination. . Not tho least interesting of tho very few sights to ho scon about our city; is tho "diving apparatus," now used in tho harbor by Professor ^Malllefort, for tho recovery of iron, and other valuable Bluff from tho wrecks of boats *sunk, mostly during the war; portions1 of the "Koosatomc,,> the "Keokuk," and the Confederate gunboats, hnvo already boon obtained, tho Professor possesses a div^r among his employees who almost rivajs "Nicolo Pesce," in boldness and intre pidity, for a coscume; he wears a suit.of | rubber, fitting very close, and perfectly watertight, covering his head and a part of tho shoulders, is a kind of metal hel met, having in front a piece* of glasrf through which to see, tubes attached to this contrivance supply tho driver wiftc air, and large leaden weichts are attach ed to dfierenfc portions of his person; ar rayed in this fashion the.diver can Wore a very long time under the water. Some timo since, a shark of the largest kind was seen playing around tho boat from which our diver launches?down how* ever be went as unconcernedly, as if the fish had been in tho middle of the Atlam tic ocean. On coming up he "Was asked whether ho had seen tho fish, "No," was the reply, "but I felt him, as he' dashed gassed, and I judge from his be* havior he was very hungry." It would appear that the shark, who is a veritable, coward among fishes, although the most* blood-thirsty, is frightened by the strange dress of the diver, and fails to recognize the "nice morsel" when put up in a cov ering of rubber and metal. Having spoken of "Nicolo Pescc," it may be not uninteresting, to give a short account of this very remarkable person age. He lived in the times of Freder ick King of Sicily, and was from his amazing powers in swimming, sur namcd "the fish ;" from his infancy he had .supported himself by the oysters and coral, which he dove for, and then sold to the villagers on the coast. He was frequently known to spend five days at a time in the midst of the waves, living on the fish which he caught, (this we con sider as fishy.) He often swaai over from Sicily into Calabria, carrying the letters of the King, (there were no pos tal cards cards in those days).. Some mariners, once out at sea, observed what they took to bo a "Sea Monster," but on .drawing dams-** ^-p.""-1 x~ V* '<-wl~i? ttiosca was very high, and the weather tempestuous but "Nicola" was carrying correspondence as usual, and showed the sailors the waterproof bag containing his mail. This wonderful personage how ever possessed a great anvantage over ordinary swimmers; tho spaces betwen his fingers and toes being webbed like a goose, and his chest was so spacious, that one inhallation, would serve him the en tire day. For a man of such rare powers ?his end excites our pity?at the sug gestion of the King, he dove down to.dis cover if possible, what was at tho bottom of the gulf of Charybdis, being further induced by a gold cap the monarch had ordered to be flung in, Nicholas was suc cessful and brought up the cup, but in a second attempt, in search of another cup and purse, neither Nicholas, or the arti cles were ever heard of again, and he perished ; if not in tho service of his country, at least in that, of his King. Our Postal Card arrangements com menced on the 1st. If any any set of men deserve the compassion of their race, on account of tho trying nature of their du ties, wc commend to the public sympathy the mail carryers. The patience exhibit ed by dob, was trifling in comparison to what theso gentlemen will be called on to display; we suppose, at least one fifth of the houses here have neither bells or knockers?at these the post-man will bo obliged to try various little devices to make himself heard?and when thoro aro bells or knockers, the usual delay of our servants will cause him, if he-is pious, to assume a martyr liko expression, and if otherwise, to rent his feelings in some of those .strong expressions for which the English language js so celebrated.
