Thb Tiikologioal Seminary op Soot*
Carolina.—We leamfrijm the Savannah Herald
of Monday, that Bishop Davis, ofSouth Carolina,
lias made an appeal in behalf of the Dioecsan
Theological Seminary of that State, established
at Camden. The Bishop states that the Semi
nary buildings and a large portion of the library
have been destroyed by fire, and that the per
manent fund, amounting to nearly fifty thou
sand dollars, was all lost during the progress of
the late war. He also states that the effects of
these misfortunes have been alleviated in some
measure by a present to the Bishop and trus
tees of a large and well adapted building and
grounds, in Orangeburg, for the use of the pro
fessors and students. The liberal donor is Mr.
Trenholm, of Charleston, the ex-Secretary of
the Confederate Treasury. But the trustees
have no money with which to resume the exer
cises of the. institution and hence the appeal of
the Bishop for pecuniary assistance. Four
thousand dollars are necessary to carry on the
work this year; hut two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars will he required to put the in
stitution on a secure and permanent basis, if
is proposed to establish a preparatory school
for boys, which shall be of a high order, and in
connection with the church. It is proposed
also to carry out the resolution of the Diocese
Convention, which authorizes the preparation
of colored persons for the snored ministry of the
church, and to provide for their education and
training at schools or semiuaries, that the freed
men in our midst may have their brethren of
the same race to teach and to minister to them
in holy tilings.
The Bishop closes his letter by saying that in
this vast country, with its fast increasing popu
lation, a seminary of this character is needed at
the South, to carry out these purposes. That
the church calls for it and the country needs it.
Donations can be sent to Bishop Davis, at Cam a
den, or to A. Toqmer Porter, Charleston, S. C.

Ben. Butler “Cut Dead.” —The Wash
ington correspondent of the Flew Orleans
Picayune thus notices an incident that took
place at the Bancroft oration on the? Lincoln
anniversary. He says:
“On thefloor of the House were the Judges
of the Supreme Court, in their elegant and be
coming black silk robes, the President of the
United States and the Cabinet, the embassadors
from foreign countries, all the distingished' offi
cers of the army and navy in their rich uniforms,
and the Senators and Repraseutatives. General
Butler sat directly behind General Grant. Tbfire
were three vacant arm chairs beside him; no
body would sit, although every other chair on
the floor of the House was occupied. Nobody
went near him or spoke to him. All other per
sons near himwvere the recipients of courtesies
and civilities. Reverdy Johnson, Senator Har
ris, of New York, Chief Justice "Chase and
many more distinguished men, all grouped in
that immediate vicinity, paid their respects ,to
each other, to Gen. Grant and to Commodore
Shubrick, but took not the slightest notice of
him. It was the most complete cut ever saw.”
Fiub Smouldering Ten Months.— On Fri
day the negro laborers employed in clearing
out the ruins of the building occupied during
the war by the Confederate Post Office Depart
ment', Richmond, discovered that the coal in
the coal cellar was still on fire. We were in
formed of the fact on good authority, Bays the
Richmond Sentinel, but the statement seemed
so remarkable that we made a personal exami
nation of the spot, and after viewing the smoke
and burning our fingers, we came away perfect
ly cured of our skepticism.
* That fire should smoulder in the ruins of a
bullding' hdrned more than ten months ago,
unquenched tyJ heavy rains or driving snow
storms, seems little short of the marvelous, but
unbelievers c*n easily be convinced by the »im-
Lple test of experiment.

sJuw York, March 10.—-The World's Wash
ingtnn special says : The House Judiciary Com
mittee yesterday authorized their chairman to
report an important bill, to restore possession
of the lands confiscated by the authority of the
States lately in rebellion. It provides that in ail
cases when any loyal citizen of the United
States lias disposed of auy lands or tenements
belonging to him or her, within any of said
States, by any order proceeding from or de
cree of these States, on the ground of his or
her adherence to the Union, or his or her ab
sence or failure to give support to said States,
it shall be the duty of the President, or the
commanding officer of the military forces sta
tioned within the particular State or district, to
ipane an order setting forth all the facts in the
case, and to restore to the person or persons so
agrieved, the possession and right which they
have been unjustly deprived of, and to protect
them in such right.
The Times’ Washington special says : Hon.
R. Thomas, of Maryland, is preparing to make
a claim before Congress in behalf of this State,
for damages on account of burning two bridges
on the route from Washington to Frederick
City, destroyed by order of General Lew. Wal
lace, at the battle of Monoeacy, in 1864. Gen
eral Wallace, in response to enquiries from Mr.
Thomas, says he ordered the burning of the
bridges to retard Early’s march on Washing
ton, by depriving him of facilities for crossing ■
the streams, and that Early was thus detained
thirty-six hours. A second object was to tiring
into action the force detailed to guard the
bridges. The overpowering number of Early’s
troops was making it impracticable to concen
trate all the Federal forces to hold the rebels in
cheek. . ,
Generals Custar and Fremont arrived in
Washington yesterday.
General Custar gives a rather glomy account
of political affairs in Texas. There is little, if
.any loyalty, outside our lines, and if our troops
were withdrawn, there would be one anywhere.
Greenbacks are but seldom acknowledged to
have any value, and gold and .-.ilver are the cir
culating medium in many places. Greenbacks
will not buy anything. The idea that they will
be redeemed is but seldom entertained. Matters
are daily growing worse.
Further consideration of the bankruptcy bill
will te resumed in the House Wednesday or
Thursday next. The friends of the bill have
confidence in its passage. Several of the mem
bers who) heretofore opposed thw bill having
signified their intention oi supporting it.
The Herald’s Washington special says: In
the Supreme Court Mr. Stansberry, of Ohio,
and Attorney General Speed closed their argu

David Dudley Field, of New York, will sum up
on Monday for petitioners.

General Lee says that he always purposely
avoided testifying.

New York, March 10.—William H. Cannon
and James Mitchell, ag>al respectively 18 years,
were arraigned yesterday on a charge of forgery.

er of a firm in whose, employ he had been, and
forged the name ol the firm to three cheeks for
S3OO, $3,000, and $4,d00, on the Central Na
tional Bank, and obtained the. two first named
sums, but the third check was the cause of their
discovery and arrest.
John Casey, a saloon keeper, aud, Alex. Gray,
were arrested on suspicion of being concerned
in the scheme. The case is still iiudrr investi
gation.
Boston, March 10.—A grand Fenian demon

colored delegation at present here, sent by the
colored people of the States North and South,
that no sudden change will take place affecting 1
the occupancy of the lands to which General
Sherman gave the freedmen a possessory title. 1
The President suggested that the freedmen
should continue to cultivate said lands. Mr.
Downing has received letters from South Caro
lina, from the parties interested, telling him of
their fears, that they might be suddenly remov
ed from the lands they were cultivating—fears
which arose on the receipt of news of the veto
of the Freedinen’s Bureau bill. When the fact

(From t’.’ c New York News of tile Dili.
Bishop Lyncu in New York.
The Rev. Dr. Lynch, Ro.’uan, Catholic Bishop
ot Charleston, is now in this '.-tty lor the pur
post* ol soliciting aid from the Catholics of New
York, wherewith to rebuild some of the Cath
olic institutions destroyed during the late w;ir.
The Bishop spoke at St. Peter’s Cliureb, in Bar
clay street, Sunday morning, and was met by a
generous response from the congregation.
In the evening he preached an eloquent dis
course at, St. Andrews Church, in Duane street,
the Rev. Father Curran, pastor. We give a
synopsis of the Bishop's discourse at the latter
place:
My Brethren: The coming of Christ our
Lord upon earth marks an era. in the history of
man. It marks a battle which had been in pro
gress for nearly two thousand years. Up to
that time evil had prevaileclamong men, but the
children of Adam forgot their father’s punish
ment, and it required the deluge to purify the
earth. The children of man bore within them
the signs of fallen nature, but they soon forgot
them and plunged into all manner of iniquity.
Few men then worshipped the true God.
These men, such as Job and Mcleliiscdeck, were
among this class; but the whole mass of men
were adoring falso gods and tijilowing evil
ways. Up to the time of our Lord men had
failed to battle against evil, or t o do much good.
The twelve poor fishermen stood in the polish
ed cities of Athens, Greece, and Rome, and
their ascents conquered philosophers and others,
who followed the pursuit of *cience. A new
philosophy arose which, if schooled properly,
enabled men to enter the Church. Although
they were opposed at the time, these poor fish
ermen were successful for a time.
They induced men to give up the ordinary
callings of life in order to obey the word of
God. Said an ancient writer: We Christians
are but of yesterday, and yet we fill your armies
and ships. Soon the Christian Church was
spread everywhere, and men were brought up
iu accordance with the light of truth. Ignor
ance and evil have been receding before God's
holy truth. This has been wrought by (the
hand of God, but by what means ? By means
of His church which he established for the
Christian world. Under the old law there was
no church, but each father of the family was
high priest of that family, and there was no
bond of union; but Christ established a fold
into which all might come, aud lie prayed that
all his followers might be one; one faith, one
Lord, one baptism. He established in it an or
ganization as iu the body of man, every portion
having its own obligations and its owu sphere
of action. Hence it was that victory was ob
tained. By the teaching of the church nations
have received light and strength and wisdom.
Eighteen centuries have seen her in the
world. For three centuries the Church was
persecuted almost until death. Who can tell
how much the Christian suffered in those days
—how many driven into dungeons, liow many
were put to death by every torture that man’s
ingenuity could devise? Some were tiediu sacks
while others were tied to horses; others were
smothered with pitch and put to death in
flames. But there she stauds yet, giving praise
to Gent for the vile leprosy that lias been taken
from Christianity.
But there came a time when the Church bat
tled, through her doctors aud through her
councils, at Nice, winning victory after victory;
and she still continues now to strengthen our
weakness, aud disclosing to us a bright glimpse
of that glory, to which God destines us, if we
be true to his laws ; she stands in the world a'
miracle of history; stands, because she is and
established by Christ our Lord. She will ever
continue, even to the consummation of the
world. Tfes, she! stands, though the Roman
empire has passed*- away; she stauds ever the
same, because she iff not of this world; but of
the kingdom of God. He need not refer to the
recent events that have Just closed to show that
men may differ, nations may crumble, but the
Catholic Church never. Her rites are the same
in China as they are here; and although th*
ministry there may not speak the same tongue,
they will oelebrate the holy mysteries as they
are celebrated else Whore. Tho Church has a
kingdom of Heaven. She was born of God.—
Thefirst practical work of the Christians was to
aid oAe another; to aid the widows and orphans
of th« land. The dearest letters which we have

ment of these charities.
The reverend bishop then referred to the
j ■ education) of thc. uooplc of his own diocese, and
Said he had come *tt> plead their eause to their
brethren of New York. They had already
heard of the condition of tilings ip the South,
but they should see them to appreciate thttiii.—
He had come, therefore, to pbapl the cause o£
Jesus Christ fiffio had taught charity, and who
had made it incumbent oil us to'add onn anoth
er. Shall I rehearse tlie sad story of all we
have suffered? I shall pot, for I might detain'
you too long. Tlte first bishop of Charleston
had obtained an enviable’'reputation, afid thyy
were all familiar - w ith Hie. history of Bishop
England, who had done so much for the Catho
lic Church- There were tup two priests at the
time in ' the diocese, and two strangers who
were abiding there for a short time.' They la
bored assiduously for some time and most of
them heard pf the success with which their la
bors were attended. Bishop England had
earned a name ampng the Catholics of the
wbrid, and he deserved it, lor he was a no
ble man. There lived no son of Erin truer
than he, and whose heart would not throb with
sensation when he heard the name of -Bishop
England mentioned. But he is gone, he bus at
last been laid in the tomtt He laid a/founelation
broad and deep, of vast proportions, predicting
the course which tlie Catbojic Cliureh should
take in tills land. But there came another who
labored, with great success, for eleven years,
and who ended his life, worn out.by iris intense
application to his duties. It then pleased
Almighty God to select him (the reverend
speaker) un worthily though he considered him
self. He had been taught by the side of the first,
and now he had little more to do than to follow
out the plans they had undertaken. IlOw pro
mising things at the South looked even six
years ago, when the Bishop of New York, the
lamented Bishop Hughes, came to Charleston
for the purpose of regaining Ills health. Bishop
Jlhghes had given him counsel and advice, and
it wasTiot tlie first time he had done so, for in
had been a father to him in the Church. Tin
reverend speaker would tell him iiis diffi
culties, and when sadder days came lp- knew
lh.it Bishop Hughes would not cease that
interest. And at his last visit how fair
things looked. Then the speaker was engaged
in building churches and other religious insti
tutions which were destined for the service of
God and to bring souls to Heaven. But how
do tilings st>md now ? The Cathedral, once so
magnificent, is now in ruins. Tlie seminary,
too, is in ashes ; the hoys’ asylum also. Tin
free school for poor children still remains. Tin-
Convent of the Sisters of Mercy is shattered.
The girls’ school is also gone.- Three ol tin
churches were in such a condition that the peo
ple could not enter them save at the risk of
life. Others are stripped of everything. Others,
again, have no altars and no scats. But there
are still some churches in Charleston of which
the reverend gentleman could trust himself to
speak. But why go over this list of asylums
and schools ? for what was it that was not lost?
Every day men are appealing to him lor aid—
old men, who pray that they may be given a
church in which to worship God. But, said
the speaker, feelingly, what can I do, stripped
of everything ? I try to help them, hut ruin and
di-sol.itiou lia.. swept away everything. Wheat 1
think of what hud been built up by forty years’
labor, and look around me and see what is lost,
what a work there is before me I feel sad, almost
de-pair. But what can I do? But, please
God; a bishop cannot despair ; and I will again
commence the work, in the name of God. He
would appeal to the Christian heart or his
brethren, who are oue with him in that fold.—
Therefore, said the speaker, I have come to you,'
my brethren, and I come with confidence, for I
know that you Jove Christ here, iu this His
holy Church, and remember that when J plead
her cause I also plead yours, and I come, too,
with the greater confidence in your kindness,
because or the (iiVors which your archbiship lias
giyn tom". I know that his promise will be
made good, I know that it is made good. I
came ligri- also pn the kind invitation ol the
clergy , and especially on thafof your honored
pastor. Tlie speaker here alluded to the cir
(-umstanc-i s of seven poor Sisters of Alegcy, who
had been four long years in t he hospital, among
the sick and the wounded, and who had been
here and received thegenerpus contributions of
the faithful. Tie hoped I list tlie day would yet
come w hen he would be able to repay die gen
erous acts of charity and kindness which those
Christian ladies had received. The reverend
bishop then closed his remarks by giving his
hearers his blessing.
Tlie church was crowded in every part, and
tlie sermon, ol which the above is a mere
sketch, was listened to with attention.
A Faithful Wifi:.—The fidelity ofawifeis
illustrated in the following: At the February
term of the Holmes county (Ohio) court, iii
1885, Samuel K. -McCoy was convicted of bur
glary ami sentenced to live yer« imprisonment
in the penitentiary. Ills wife declared from the
Gust lii.-v innocence, and made every effort to
have tjiis made evident. Since February last
she has visited the prison twenty times, never
once lost faith in her husband, or wearied of
efforts iu bis behalf. On Tuesday a pardon was
granted, upon additional and newly discovered
evidence confirmatory of an alibi, in which it
was proved that, he was thirty miles from where
the burglary was committed at the lime speci
fied.
A terrible catastrophe occurred recently in
Cronstadt, and occasioned the loss of fifty-four
lives. At half-past two In the morning, a wood
en buildiug, constructed op Battery No. 10,
serving as a habitation for 250 workmen, took
fire, and was in a tew moments involved in
flames. There were three doors to the build
ing, but only one was unlocked, and this opened
inward. The unfortunate men, pressing for
ward in crowds, kept it closed, and it had at
length to be broken down, but rtliv-fonr men
had already perished. The rest were rescued
with great difficulty.

Rtf* WE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO BE
astonished at anything. Years of experience and a
correspondence extending throughout all nationalities
of the habitable globe, have turned theories into facts
and established a basis from which we need not err.—
We are not surprised at Hindi facts as the following,
although the persons who write them are. We know
the persons and circumstances, hence feel at liberty to
endorse their statements:
“New Brdsosd, Mass., Nov. 24,1863.
Dkak Sir: I have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and
hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends in Now York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine glassful after dinner. Feel
ing liettcr by degrees, in a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps hail entirely left me,
and I could sloop the night through, which I have not
done for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have aloo greatly improved by the
use of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”

on whom all j Medical skill had been exhausted, has
been entirely restored. We commenced with hut a

The Plantation Bitters make the weak strong, the

storer. They are co mposed of the celebrated Calisaya
Bark, Wintergreen, Sassafras, Roots, Herbs, Ac., all
preserved in perfectly pure in St Croix Rum.

Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with weak
ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of appe
tite, distress after eatipg, torpid liver, constipation,
Ac., deserve to suffer if they will not try them.
They are recommended by the highest medical au
