THE INAI CUR AI/( EREMONIES. The Governor and Licutcnnut Cloy ernorelect were inaugurated c?n Tues day with the usual ceremonies. (Jon. Hagnod's inaugural address was characteristic of tho man, terse and practical, and contained some valuable recommendations. He concluded in these words: '?It is my duty as Governor to 'take care that the laws arc faithfully executed in mercy.' I repeat the pledge made before my election?that in the discharge of this high trust. I shall know neither white man nor colored man. but only citizens of South Carolina, alike amenable to her laws and entitled to their protection.' (Jon. John I). Kennedy, after his inauguration, was escorted to the Senate Chamber where he took bis scat as President of the Senate in ac cordance with thcConstition. -.? UM ? THK" LEGISLATURE. This body is hard at work grap pling with the numerous bills pre sented. The crenoral temper of our legisla ture seems to be in favor of leaving the considcration'of thejnatter^of n Constitutional Convention to a Com mittee to report at the next session. .Senator ?myllie, of Charleston, baa prepared a bill to this effect. There is a general disposition in favor of an early adjournment sine die before tho Christinas holidays. Some favor the loth Dec. but it is hardly probable that this is compati ble with careful legislation, but it is hoped that the end may be reached by.tho 22d. THE FIREMEN'S (JALAiRAY I Tuesday was celebrated by our Firemen, and citizens generally, as the Anniversary of the Independent Elliott Ilook and Ladder Company. In the afternoon the two companies paraded our streets, presenting a very attractive appearance. Tho^Truck of the Elliotts !\vas beautifully deco rated by fair hands, and ''Uncle Joe." the pel of the Rcdshirls, and in fact of tlic town, looked liken thingof beauty, which is":i joy forever." Al 7 o'clock, the Elliotts assembl ed in the Hall of the Young Ameri cas and transacted tin* Annual busi ness by the election of officers, and the general straightening up of the past. The following Ollleers were elected tu serve fur the ensuing year: Foreman?L. II. Wnnnnmakcr. Asst. Foreman - \\". 1.. Izlar. 1st. Director?I.endo Ransdale. 2d. Director?-E. R. McKcwn. Secretary?R.

The business of the year being concluded, the Company with their invited guests including a number of our citizens, the Fdisto Hilles, the Young Americas ami the Edisto Band, proceeded In the Hook and Ladder Hall, where the festive board was spread, and ill ti short time .-ill parties woe busily engaged discuss itlg the merits of the good thing spread before t hem. The first and important step being most Satisfnctorly concluded the following programme was presented :i chaste ami m at address of welcome having been made by Foreman W an nnmaker: I'ltOUli AMM E.

DeTro ville. Our 1 nvited Guests? 'die who enters here, lenvo.s all care behind." Responded to by F. A. Sehilllcy. Our Mayor and Aldermen? Men of prowess and renown, The "City fathers of our Town," The streets well lighted, police paid, To slip out o'nights, whose afraid ? The city's as quiet and snug as a mouse Under the care of Alderman Strauss, Moselcy's the Mayor, and long in vain A better warden you'll seek than Uill Sain.

Responded to by B. P. I/.lar, Esq. W( -man?? "With her mien she cnamors the brave, With her wit she engages the free. With her modesty pleases the grave, She is every way pleasing to me. Responded to by ( 'apt. J. A. Ham ilton. The Kdisto Rifles? An ornament to our town- in the I time of pence, our safeguard in the hour of danger. Responded to by F. S. Dibble, W. L. Glaze and S. R. Melliehatnp. The Press May its freedom never ho restrain ed nor abused, but tint ram mclcd, may it continue the advocate, of the peo ples liberty and the champion of their tights. Responded to by II. G. Sheri dan, Esq. Letters were road from the venera hie Dr. Elliott, the worthy patron of the Company, ('apt. Dibble, and Rev. T. W. Melliehatnp, the Chaplain, re gretting their inability to attend in response to the invitations extended to them, but expressing the noblest sentiments and the wannest interest in the prosperity of the Company. The Anniversary of the Company being the birthday of Dr. Elliott, this interesting fact constituted in no small degree, a theme of the evening, and many of the speakers held up hi* exemplary life a.- a shining light for the 301111g men of the community. I'he regrets at his absence were uni 'crsal, and the heartfelt wish of every lireman and guest around the festive board was, that he would be spared to be with us when our next anniversary rolls around. A damper was thrown over the festivities of die evening by the .sick ness of Dr. Cooke, who was compell ed tu return to his home at an early stage This also took away Prof. Lawrence, \\b<? was appointed to one of the toasts, and 1,0 doubt, had a feast in store for the audience. The cvt ;.ing passed off most de lightfully, the flow of wit and senti ment being unstinted. We have rea sons to hope that along with the plea gantries some golden seeds of wisdom have been sown which will be clcva ing in their tendency and give to the occasion an upward pointing.
