Elegant English. The Nation thus c-" nroents upon the ' use of " fine language' ' in this country: How few people live in houses; how many K reside" in " residences'' or "mansions." How few schools there are left; ltow many " academies'tand "institutes" and "establishments." The race of wo- | men is nearly extinct, while ladi* .<-<warm all over the land. Such a thing as a ;c nnw lmrdlv ever seen on a dinner table; the oldest cock that is ever served up is sore to be "chicken." Mutton, too. is becomiog scarcer and scarcer; "lamb" v is more plentiful. There has not been for many a day:?ueh a thing in the United States as a storekeeper; the smallest peddler is now a "merchant-" We -hardly ever bear of anybody id the newspapers, not a day-laborer, who does not " move in the very best society," and who docs not boast "fine talents and dignified manners." Nobody now delivers a speech or an address on any set occasion; so he delivers an "oration." The President is fast ceasing to be President, having been promoted to the office of " Our Chief Magistrate." There are even very few men ol moderate attainments: most men who Jay claim to anything beyond a common school education, and are not actually* engaged in business, are spoken of as " ripe scholars," and if they at the same time do not spit or chew, and abstain from morning "drinks," they become "accomplished gentlemen." If anybody advocates negro suffrage, he " takes his stand on the platform of the brotherhood of man." Stowed oysters and chicken salad are neither a supper nor a lunch, but an "elegant collation." Sermons are nearly all or at least all those that arc considered worth speaking of?"powerful discourses." Even wives are gradually disappearing; men write themselves down in the hotel books as being accompanied by their "ladies," whatever that man may mean. In most parts of the "West even "academies" and "institutes" bid fair to become extinct., their places being taken by "universities." No girl now ever leaves school; slio "graduates." Inns and taverns have disappeared long ago; we rind nothing 'but "hotels" in all directions. There are even signs that bar-rooms will soon be superseded by "sample rooms." Barbers are not to be found in any of the large cities, while "hair-dressors" abound, Memoers of Cengress and politicians even are becoming "statesmen." Sonie people think we are failing of our manners, but in our language at least the "high polite" was never more successfully cultivated. . 4 f >?? Another Fire in Darling/ ton. ' The Sumter Watchman of the present week says: Scarcely had the smouldering ruins ceased to give forth heat, ere the flames are again performing their work of destruction at Darlington, and the remaining portion of the square is consumed. We learn that about fifteen buildings were this time consumed, including the entii'o number of mercan- 1 tile houses of the town. 9 The Fire was the result of accident, and was .communicated through the medium of Liquorine burning fluid, which .accidentally caught fire. Our neighboring town is certainly most sorely afflicted, and has our deepest sympathy. ] Fire at Marion. i The Marion Crescent, of the 28th ult., announces disturbances at that place, on the part of the soldiers. It says that '"they set fire to the house of a woman named Kate Lewis, a courtezan, and to the building used as a school room for the Freed people," which latter greatly endangered the principal part of the buildings on the public square. It also says, "the spite of tho soldiers seemed directed especially to the freed people, several of whom were beaton quite severely." Too Good to be Lost.?When General^Butler was recalled from the Depart ment 01 me ijuu, ana superceded Dy uen- I eraf Banks in the command of New Or- \ leans, the Mayor's office was tendered to him-to take his conge of 6uch persons as 1 felt desirous of paying their respects pre- ? vious to his departure. As may be sup- ' posed, there was a rough gathering of the lower orders, male, female and juvenile, and among them several Hibernian ladies, with their unwashed babies, who came to shake hands with the General. J , One Irish woman handed her baby for a /kiss, and taking the General by the hand, i " addressed him as follows: a ' "Good-bye, Gineral; I'll say this for c ' ?that ye never stole anything from 1: me.

These gentlemen have in store, as will be seen by advertisement, a very handsomely selected stock of gentlemen's furnishing goods, dry goods, boots, shoes, groceries, &c , all of which they propose selling to cash oustomeis at a fraction ovoi cost?believing "small profits and quick sales" to be ibe motto for the times. Cupf. \ K.

The Uiiltiiiiorc Relief Fair. The eood people of Baltimore, and cs- . . pccially the ladies, are, it would seem, always engaged in some laudable enter- ( prise, either of a public or private character, and not the least of which is one now in course of successful completion, 1 in behalf of the suffering poor of the ( South. The ladies of the city ofBalti- ( more arc bnsiiy engaged in promoting } the success of the great fair to he held , in that city for this praiseworthy object. From the Baltimore papers of a recent , date, handed us by a friend, we perceive ( that their efforts arc being crowned with , O i success far beyond their most sanguine j expectations, and that the proceeds will j _ - .1 1 A. i. no uouoi amount to some two nunureu ( and fifty to three hundred thousand dol- ( lars.

Upon tliQ adjournment of tlie Court of Common Pleas and Ge;*ral Sessions for Ivershaw District, on Monday l^st, Gen. J. B. Kershaw rose and requested I the members of the bar, the officers of the court, tho jurors, parties attendant upon tho court, and citizen's generally to remain, in order that a public meeting of the citizens thus formed might give expression to their views as to the policy of tho course adopted by Judge Aumicn in declining to hold courts in this circuit during the present term. On motion of Gen. J. 15. Kershaw Col. Wm. M. Shannon was called to the chair, and Capt. Wm. Clyrurn requested to act as Secretary. Col. Shannon, on taking tlie choir, briefly addressed the meeting, gratefully congratulated the members of -the bar and the officers of the court, tlmt, although they had been of the first who stood upon the sands of Morris Island, five years since, when Fort Sumter was first attacked, and most of them, during all the long years which have intervened had shared all the dangers and endured the hardships of the war until the last guns of Averyboro and Bentoilvillc and the lust dissolving and disastrous scenes around Petersburg, many having suffered perilous wounds, yet to-day they all again surrounded theso altars?not one face missing?every member of the bar in his place, the same Clerk before him and tho same Sheriff on his right. What cause for wonder and for gratitude ? He further congratulated them that while they had all borno with honor the swords and commissions of their country from the first blast of tho bugle to tho sad hour when their anus were grounded, they had exhibited an equally praiseworthy spirit of fortitude and endurance in the trying ordeals of their vanquished condition; that they had buckled themselves to the pursuits of peaco with earnest effort and that thev were now proving themselves totlio United States what they luul been to the Confederacy ?trulthful, faithful and loyal. Thut among the efforts in which they had heartily joined they were satisfied that nothing was so well calculated to restore civil rights, to reorganize society, to establish good order, to check crime, to rohuko vice and demoralization as the reinstitution of our courts. In this effort they had been disappointed, and ns the object of this meeting was to .con sider the causes of that disappointment, he would forbear to anticipate its action. Gen. J. P>. JCki:siiaw introduced the ! preamble and resolutions which follow, ivliw.li tut iiv..fw..il wifli ;i full #-1,...?i- I iii<1 able review of tli?* necessities of our j oudition, flic policy, pmpriely ami nc ossify of all the people using every effort to encourage iiml strengthen the hands of tlio.se in power who are attempt ing to -build up our waste places.

("'apt. W. 1j. JIkL'ass confirmed the views of liis colleague, and forcibly expressed the necessities of our couiinuuility for the re-opening ol" civil courts, die civil results of military jurisdiction and the appiohcnsiun that the suspension of civil courts by the authorities of Ihc State would bo deemed as evidence )f disloyalty ami construed us an excuse, possibly, as an invitation to reindate and extend military jurisdiction jvov us. It was an agreeable feature of this ueeting, that, although the speakers lissentcd entirely from Judge Aldricti's jourso in the premises, this dissent was nvariably expressed in such terms as lave always characterized the bearing >f the Bar towards the Bench, in South Carolina, and hud Judge Ai.iuucit been resent he would have found himself is ho woidd have expected?in tho 'house of his friends"?though those riends differ widely from him as to the iropriety of this important stop, which lo has taken. mi. p n vi. J i.. ?ne jouowing prcamme aim resoiuions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, his Honor. Judge A. P. Lldrich has deelinod to liold tho Court if Common Pleas for this District at ho present term, in eonsequenco of the ntcrfcrcnce of the military authorities t Charleston to prevent tho execution f tho sentence of the court in the case f the State vs. Charles Pox, tried at "harleston at the January term ; And hereas, tho military autho vities of the Itato have, by their general orders, predated all interference with the civil inirts in the exercise- of their jurisdicon between and in respect to the white citizens thereuf, unci white residents not connected with the military establishment with certain limitations contained in said orders, which limitations embrace bnt few of the jurisdictions of said court; Anil whereas, the military courts are in and by said orders expressly forbidden to exorcise the jurisdiction permitted to the civil courts, be it Jlesolred, That the refusal of the J udges to exercise the jurisdiction permitted them is not warranted by the circumstances, would he subversive of order, encourage lawlessness and crime, disappoint the just expectation of our people, shuts the door of justice against our own citizens, and if persisted in gonerally will tend to an extension ??f the jurisdiction of the military courts, to embrace all classes of people and all subjects of litigation. 2nd. That in our opinion true policy and duty require that wo should exorcise every privilege permitted us, and that rulers, Magistrates and people should unite in eveiy effort to restore peace, law and order to our afflicted country, to which end nothing woidd moro tend than the reopening of the courts of justice. 3d. That while entertaining personally entire respect for Judge Aldrich, wo?&eL bound by our sense of public duty respectfully to protest against the policy, wisdom and propriety of his action in the premises. On Motion of Capt. t Jas. M. Davis it was Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting bo published in tho Camden Journal and Charleston Daily News. On motion of Capt. J. D. Dunlap the meeting adjourned. WM. M. SHANNON, Ch'n. "Wm. C'lyburn, Secretary. [for the camden journal.] A Visit to Liberty Hill.

The stage of course was bountifully ornamented and brilliantly lighted, not less by the bl ight eyes of J the ladies than by artificial means. Tim i time which elapsed before the raising of the curtain, was enlivened by conversation with the ladies, and the sweet strains of harmony, which issued forth from the pearly lij s of the songstresses of Liberty Hill. The curtain rose aud displayed a ? il. ? i. Ka J.vtn/vihAzl flmn hUL'IlU HJilU UUII UUUtl 'UC I llla^ i iibu iiiuu i described. Our expectations rose high when, instead of the bare room we expected, we saw all of the usual stage apparatus. The personages commencing the play, instantly showed us that there was no ordinary piece to be acted, nor ordinary actors to portray the ideas of the author. We recognized Goldsmith's admirable effort, "SheStoops to Conquer," a selection which did equal honor to the taste of the managers, as to its intrinsic worth and its adaptation to the cipabilitics of such young comedians. We can not, however, go into details, but must content ourselves with a brief notice of the star actors : Tony Lumpkin was splendidly acted, and wo all thought that the author! i himself could not have portrayed the character better- Of Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle wc will only say, that the same thorough understanding of the author's o o meaning pervaded their whole course,! and was shown by consummate acting. 1 The lovely barmaid completely look us j and oar hearts by storm, ami we w>-re | only hit ta irlmire and j?r:iisc^li*?rt at.d ; then turn- to Miss Neville, whose constancy and' gentleness was more conspicuous from the contrast to her energetic neighbor, Miss llardcaslle. Marlow no-. I . derstood his party and his acting too; and Hastings, if he rfa/lose his way across the couufty, evidently knew that, in the play at leat:t, lie was at home. Diggorv kept cftit of the pautry long enough to show that lie had a keen sense of the ridiculous. That familiar farce, "Fortune's Frolic," followed, in which, however, fickle fortune is general, she still had the constancy to throw in their way a llobin Koughhead who never could be Jfound Kobiu any body else, but was always 'mod Robin, honest Robin. His do C" ? votion to Dolly was truly affecting. Snacks was tbc very personification of a grasping steward, and toe other actors would have won the author's heart by the way they brought his'nleas to light. Our friend Robin, now changed into an Irish traveler, favored us with one of bis in* imitablc comic songs, and we wended cur way home through umd and rain, which, instead of dampening, served only to increase our determination to be present at the Dcxt entertainment. After n duy passed in luxurious elegance, we again repaired to the scene of action. The tea parly was admirable, and the actresses showed us that they were indeed teetotalers. Rut what shall we say of the next piece? It was wellj chosen, well understood, and letter acted. Let it be enough to say, that prominent among the entertainments of the Week, the Dead Shot will prove the aconracy of its aim by laying us too at the feet of its lovelv cause, whose conquests were only limited by tbc paucity of her audience The Boots at the Swan fully justified his own reputation, and even excelled our expectations.

The little hands grasped the pail, and it was drawn to the top and rescued by the teiaifled but courageous mother.
