TUE SOUTHERN HOME.- Mr. Alfred J. Mor ri-in ls now in Charleston as the agent of thc "Southern Home," a weekly paper, published by General D. H. Hill, at Charlotte, X. C. Thc "South ern Home*' has a large circulation, and mer? chants who desire to win back the North Carolina trade are not likely to find a better advertising medium. CATHOLIC FAIR.-The Hibernian Hall will be opened to-night by the Fair given In aid of St. Joseph's Church.

WIXKLER'S LECTURE.-Thc Cheraw Dem? ocrat has the following notice of a lecture deliv? ered by tlie Kev. Dr. Winklcr, before thc Cheraw Lyceum: "The subject of the lecture was'Relig? ion ami Astronomy." It was a chaste production, well delivered, and wc were glad to Hud that the reverend gentleman was not disposed to forget thc grand object of his mission to his fellow-men, as'a minister of the gospel, but, ou the contrary, brought all his acquisitions of learning to subserve the interests of religious truth. The lecture afford? ed evidence that the lecturer has not only read books to advantage, but has thought much for himself. While his style was chaste and vigorous, the matter of the lecture was Interesting and sug? gestive." ."LADIES' MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION."-The Teport of the receipts and expenditures of this association for the mouth of January, 1870, con? sists of the following amounts, viz : To balance, $103 77; to salesroom account, $41 50; to sub? scriptions, $10 90; to donation, $4; to balance due treasurer, $1S 40.

Bogdon; and also desires to return grateful thanks to the editors or the papers, and all who have aided the funds of the association by aona tlons and other assistance. IMPORTANT TO THE SHIPPING INTEREST.-The select Congressional committee on the decline of American Commerce has completed Its report, andwill probably present lt to the Rouse or Rep? resentatives to-day. lt enters fully Into the causes of the decline of commerce, and makes numer? ous suggestions ror Its revlyal. The committee ascertains that the present system or harbor? masters and pilots enlists heavy expense and fre? quent delay in discharging cargoes, Ac, and they recommend thc abolition of both. If the owners of vessels desire to employ pilots, they will bc allowed to do so or not, as they see Qt. The com? mittee further recommends a drawback upon all materials used for shipbuilding, and the repeal or tonnage duties on American vessels. THE NEW TUCRSDAT STEAM LINE.-We take great pleasure in "announcing that the furniture and stateroom outfit cf the South Carolina and Tennessee have been put aboard, and that, begin? ning on Thursday, 17th, the travelling public will I be accommodated on board these splendid iron steamships. Everything is new and fresh, of the best, and lt is Intended by the agents to make Thursday an attractive starting day ror passen? gers bound North aud East. Owing to thc relative condition of the market here and in New York, a concession has been made to shippers on the principal articles of freight, with the hope that such a course will in? duce business. The rate on sea island cotton ls fixed at gc., uplauds s'c, and on rice SI 25 per tierce. THE DCELLO IN COLCMBIAVA^BIJOODLESS ENCOUNTER.-Wc arc Informed t???t parties in Columbia had made arrangements on Saturday morning, to settle their little difficulties by a re? sort to the duello. Both parties were on the ground, when a disagreement arose between one of the principals and his second, in which' the latter was called a liar. This opprobrious epi ther"proved a new casus belli, and the second pro? ducing two revolvers, demanded satisfaction then and there. Such a summary mode or settling the dispute was not to the taste of the^riaclpal, and he peremptorally declined, and the second imme? diately refused to take any further part lu the proceedings, which caused an indefinite post? ponement of the whole affair, and a loss to Colum? bia of a first-class sensation. CRUMBS.-James Landrigan, the white man who was stabbed In Market-street, has Unproved -considerably. The two young men who were ar? rested on suspicion or having stabbed him are still in jail. Three colored military companies, betrlggcd wita all the pomp and panoply of glorious war minus the weapons, paraded the streets yesterday, and heard a memorial sermon In Cain's church on the Lincoln assassination. Asphaltum sidewalks are being laid on most of the short streets leading to the wharves. That portion of Broad-street recently treated with cob ? ble stones ls also to have a layer of asphalt. Members of the Charleston Chamber of Com? merce can obtain their tickets for the supper this evening by applying to the Treasurer at the Plan? ters' and Mechanics' Bank, between the hours or 9 o'clock, A. M., and 3 o'clock, P. M., or at the Hibernian Hall from 3 to 8 o'clock, P. M. COMMUNICATION" BETWEEN CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH.-We are glad to learn that the direc? tion of thc Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company, at a meeting Saturday evening, adopted measures to insure an almost immediate opening of dally intercourse by their road between Savannah and our city. The Immediate cause ol the delay to complete their road has been the overflow or the swamps or the Savannah river obstructing the contractors on the trestlework, or which thirty-five hundred feet enly is unfinished. The bridge over the river is complete. If there is no new overflow of the swamps, thc work may be finished and the road opened In less than ten days. But the direction, to prevent all runner delay, which has already been so unfortune to them and disappointing to the public, have or? dered the Immediate preparation of a platform and landing place on the South Carolina side of the river, at the bridge seventeen miles by river from Savannah. If, unfortunately, tho water shall again rise, they will then Immediately put a good steamboat ou the river, to run between Savannah and the bridge, to connect with the trains between that point and Charleston, about ninety miles. The passage time on thls.way, will be about six and one-half hours, and be safe and comfortable. The direction in their contract for rebuilding, provided for completing the road rrem Charleston to the river by the first day or October last, in? tending to adopt this temporary means of trans? portation while the remainder of the road was in process of construction, which was to have beeu finished by the first day or January or this year. The delay and disappointment to the public and to themselves has not been their rault. We congratulate the public and all interested that there will so soon be a reopening or this necessary lite of railroad. There can be no doubt of Its m ecssity, and there ls a well founded hop?-that the enterprise will be most successful and profitable. TALESTIA'JE'S ?>AF. Origin of thc Custom-Who Make, Buy, Write and Read Valentines. The 14th of February, which long custom ha3 dedicated to the service or Cupid, is eagerly anticipated by all sentimental persons, particu? larly those or the gentler sex. The orginorthc custom is not dellnitcly settled, and is ascribed by some authorities to ttie erroneous idea that birds took t ?ir mates at this season of the year; and by others, to a practice prevalent lu ancient Rome at the restival or the Lupercalia, held du? ring the month of February, when, among other ceremonies, the names or young women were placed in a box, from which they were taken by blindfolded young men. The pastors or the cai ly churches, finding it impossible to destroy this pagan ceremony, changed its form, and made it a Christian.institution. The-costom existed very early in England, and was much practiced in the houses of the gentry. There are frequent rererences to it in Shakespeare, as, for example, Ophelia's song iu Hamlet: "To-morrow ls Saint Valentine's day, All in thc morning bctimc, And I. a maid at your window, To be your Valentine." . The most remarkable valentine mentioned in literature is that prepared by the united exertions of the veracious Sam Weller and his redoubtable father, for the benefit of Mary, the housemaid, and having the exceedingly original signature or "Your love-sick PICKWICK."' The primitive idea or a valentine is here de? picted with striking reality, and this rainous pro? duction will doubtless have its thousandth coun? terpart before thc present month ls ended. The seasou for sending these tokens of affection extends through the entire month of February, though according to some authorities lt should be limited to the week preceding and following thc fourteenth day. During this period the fomale bosom may bc said to bc In a state of continual pulsation. The greatest secrecy is always neces? sary in preparing these tokens of tenderness. Care must bc taken to disguise the handwriting when addressing them, and no suspicions should bc aroused in the recipient by incautious inqui? ries, showing that one possesses any knowledge of, or is implicated in. the undertaking. Of course thc fair Aramlnta or the manly Augustus will al? ways be apprised by some hint from their adored one when a valentine has been sent to them, if in? deed the sensitive heart does not of itself detect the sender. The success of humorous valentines consists In the skill with which individual weaknesses or comicalities are exposed ; and If, as ls often thc case, a little malice has incited the deed, the fon ls only heightened to the lookers on, though not to the victim. As the manuracture or valentines is purely a matter or business, their literary character is commonly or the most matter-oMact kind. Com? monplace sentiment, weak rhymes, and "ma? chine'' poetry are the rule, and real excellence Is exceptional. Their great merit consists in per? fect harmlessness, which is not a bad reflWc in tts way. Many persons think the habit or sending valen? tines ls going out of fashion; but this ls not the case, as is shown by the amount of capital invest? ed in their manufacture, and the number annu? ally sold. Thc total consumption lu thc United ted States is between ten and fifteen millions, thc price of which varies from ouc cent to twenty live dollars, though the majority are sold for less than one dollar. The cost rarely exceeds twenty dollars. Not long_sJnce a firm iu Ealtimorc man? ufactured a few to order for oue hundred dollars apiece, each ohe containing a rich diamond ring. Everything of interest that can be made the sub? ject or cheap wit ls pressed into thc service or the valentine maker. Waterrails, croquet, base ball, carpet-baggers, Planchette, woman's suffrage and the Grecian bend, have au been made the subject for valentines. The latter in particular has been burlesqued In a great variety or styles, and ls evidently a fovorite subject for ridicule. Finally, whether valentines contain what Shakespeare calls "some shallow story or deep love." or "a deep story or a deeper love,'" they will always be acceptable with the scutlmcntal portion or the world, for "love delights lu phrases," and every one ls susceptible to the deli? cate flattery of an amatory epistle.. DEATH OF REV. JAMES STONEY.-Tho Savan? nah News or Friday last says: "We are pained to record the death or the Rev. James Stoney, or this city. He was, at the time or lils death, the rector or St. Stephen's Chapel. Before the war he was the rector or St. Luke's Church, or St. Luke's Parish, In South Carolina, and there, as herc, he was beloved for lils many amiable traits and honest, manly and Christian character." OITRAGEOCS CONDUCT.-The houses of seve? ral residents on Rutledge avenue have been fre? quently marked, or their appearance otherwise injured while freshly painted, and the perpetra? tors have never been discovered. On Friday night, some miscreant deliberately hacked the renee on Mr. Chlsolra's premises, so as to mar its looks, rendering repairs necessary. The police In that section or thc city should be instructed to keep a bright lookout, and ir these scamps arc by chance detected no light punishment should bc meetcd to them. AM IMPORTANT INVENTION.-A COTTON SBED HULLER.-Messrs. Brodie A Co. have now on ex? hibition at their oftlce, Shaw's cotton-seed huller, a machine that was Invented for the purpose of shelling the cotton seed arter flrst removing the lint. The husk is one of the best fertilizers for cotton that is known, while thc kernel produces an oil that ls unsurpassed for lubricating pur? poses. The refose cake that ?3 left after extract? ing the oil is also utilized, and the cotton seed bids fair to become an Important commercial export from our Southern ports. Messrs. Brodie A Co. will, in a few days, have one of these machines in active operation at their lumber yard at the west end of Broad street. Samples of work, circulars, and all information can be ob? tained at their office on North Atlantic wharf. COURT OF GENERAI. SESSIONS AND COMMON PLEAS-HON. R. D.

D?lTI? ?F Jtf HENRY COBIA. Mr. Henry Cobia. an esteemed and rejected citizen of Charleston, died yesterday morning, In the sixty-fifth year of his age. More than a week ago he was believed to be at the point or death, but he rallied when all hope seemed past, and for some time it was confidently holieved that he would recover. Violent hemorrhages took place on Friday and Saturday, and this was more than his debilitated system could endure. Without trespassing upon thc sanctity of the death-bed, or the privacy of domestic sorrow^it may be said that the upright man who has passed away was sensible to the end, and awaited his last moment with calm fortitude and touching resignation. Mr. Cobia was universally respected. A man or sterling character, of unswerving rectitude, and of good business skill, he worked his way on? ward and upward, gaining new rriends at every step, and binding to himself more firmly every year the regard and good feeling of the commu? nity. If he had an enemy, no one knew it. Un? ostentatious and unpretending In manner and deportment, he excited no envy and no distrust. Influence and position came to him as the legiti? mate fruits of a long life well spent ; and at the time or his death his means had allowed him to enlarge still further thc extended circle of his use fuloess. They who worshipped with him know that he was indeed a pillar or the raith, and no? where, outside of his home, will his loss be more I keenly felt than In the church where he prayed to his Maker during the struggles of his youth, the progress of his middle life, and the assured for? tunes of his mature years. In private life and public life he was honored and trusted. Ile, in? deed, was an honest man. And thc place which he leaves vacant lt will surely be hard to fill. Mr. Cobia was born in Charleston on May 14th, lSO?. He was put to work at an early agc, and in 1830 made a voyage to Gibraltar, as supercargo of one of thc vessels or Mr. \V. A. Caldwell, the father of Messrs. rt. and A. P. Caldwell, of this city. Upon his return to Charleston, Mr. Cobia formed a copartnership with thc late Colonel J. C. Blum, and the firm of Blum A Cobia soon became well and favorably known. They carried on their business as wholesale grocers for about twenty years. Colonel Blum, who had amassed a lurge fortune, then withdrew, and Mr. Cobla carried on ttie businc-s under the name or II. Cobia A Co., his business partners at the time of his death be? ing Mr. Charles H. West and Mr. Alexander Cal? der. Mr. Cobia was for nearly forty years a member of the vestry or St. John's Lutheran Church. He was ele ted a vestryman inlS32, and so remained, with '>ut. a short Intermission, until 1S69, when he wa ? elected president or tba vestry. The public positions held by Mr. Cobia were many and important. For mote than twenty years, he was a director or the Carolina Insurance Company. He was president or thc Charleston Building and Loan Association, and or the Mutual Benefit and Loan Association. He was an alder? man of Charleston under the administrations of Mayors Schnlerlc and Macbeth. He was elected a commissioner of the Orphanhouse lu 'lSC3. He was a director of thc Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Company, and a trustee of the Marine School. Upon thc death of thc late Donald Mc? Kay, Mr. Cobla was unanimously elected presi? dent or thc People's National Bank or Charles? ton, and last year he was elected president or the Charleston Board or Trade. These in? fluential and responsible oillces, among others, were held by Mr. Cobla at thc time of his death. Upon thc announcement of Mr. Cobia's death, members of the Board of Trade, assisted by other gentlemen, hastened io testify their deep sense of thc public loss, by placing thc ensiguia of mourn? ing on the new building of the Board, on Meeting street, near Wentworth. The balcony fronting th? street ls draped in black, with the Inscription in white letter*, "We mourn our President." Ulack and white fostoons, fastened with mourn? ing rosettes, were also hung around the windows, and the doorway was likewise neatly festooned with black. The lady boarders of the Charleston Hotel lent valued assistance lu thc preparation or thc rosettes and other mourning material. The funeral services of Mr. Cobla will take place at3 o'clock, this afternoon, in St. John's Luthe? ran Church. TUB CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.-This society will celebrate its forty-seventh anniversary to? day, at thc Hibernian Hall. The election for offi? cers will be held lu the afternoon, between 3 and 0 o'clock, and thc supper will be served at S In the evening. THE OATES OPERATIC AND BURLESQUE TROUPE.-This splendid company, which during Its stay in Savannah drew every night thc most brilliant and crowded audiences ever seen In that city, arrived last evening, and will open to-night at thc Academy of Music, in the grand spectacu? lar burlesque entitled "Thc Field of the Cloth of Gold." Thc Savanuah papers have been most en? thusiastic in their commendations of thc troupe. Our namesake, thc News, or that city, says: "lt ls certainly one of the best organized companies that has ever visited our city, cembinlug In a re? markable degree all the elements of success lu their peculiar linc or performances, Icmlnine beauty and grace, musical talent and rare excel? lence, graceful dancing, Irresistible humor, pan? tomime, burlesque and good acting. Under its excellent management the entire resources of the company are brought into harmonious combina? tion for thc attainment of thc best general effect. Whatever theyaltcmptis thoroughly and satis? factorily accomplished, thus giving the most per? fect satisfaction to their audiences, with whom they nightly grow in favor." We advise our read? ers to secure their seats early In the day. SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE ACADEMY.-During thc past few years, South Carolina has had several Gesslers, but not one Tell. The lofty cap has been bowed to until our people have a crick In their back, and the "Mountain nymph, sweet Liberty," If not dead, ls In a comatose condition. This may be the reason why the patriotic sentiments of Sheridan Knowles' heroic drama did not arouse, of their own strength, any sustained enthusiasm at the Academy on Saturday night. The play or "William Tell" is, to tell the truth, somewhat dull ard dreary, and lt went off well only besause of thc excellent acting of the principal mem? bers of the cast. Mr. Warner, (Winiam Tell,) whose action In the opening scenes, nota? bly with Melchthal, (Mr. Parker,) was rather violent than deeply passionate, rose with the development of the well-known plot, and In thc last act showed a delicacy ol pathos as rrcsh as it was pleasing. Miss Eldridge (Albert) played with her accustomed taste and skill, and it was regretted that thc rair benejlciarc hail so limited a scope for thc display of her dramatic powers. Mr. Fannlu was a good Gcsslcr, and that careful and meritorious actor, Mr. Parker, made the most of the small part of Melchthal. Altot ?ther, the drama went off successfully. Mr. Warner was called before the curtain at the close of thc first act, and thc same compliment was paid to Miss Eldridge and Mr. Warner at the cud or the piece. "Ten Nights In a Barroom," which closed the performance, is a highly sensational domestic drama, whose theme ls drunkenness, and whose moral is that a perseverance in thc practico of dram-drinking will lead to the poorhouse or gal? lows, but that lt ls never too late for thc sot to mend his evil ways. The play ls rich In broils, In stabbing, In bruis? ing and ia killing, but it gave Mr. Fanniu (Joe Morgan,) an opportunity or showing an Intense dramatic pawer or which he had not been thought capable. The raving of the drunkard lu his de? lirium, the palsied hand, the quivering frame, thc frenzied eye, the changing moods of recklessness and repentance-all made up a harrowing pic? ture, faithful in the miuntest detail, and painrul because or Its realism. It was a grand piece or acting, and thc death-like stillness, only broken by a suppressed sob, told the startling effect pro? duced upon thc audience. Miss E:dridgc (Fanny Morj-au) gave Mr. Fannin an excellent support, and Miss Teresa Lyle (Mary Morgan) played with highly commendable pathos and skill. This young lady speaks very distinctly, and did foll justice to the most important part with which she has yet boen entrusted. Miss LaFond played thc "New England Gu l" with becoming dash and lire, and Mr. Ryan was as full as ever of fun and rol? licking humor. When thc curtain fell Mr. Faunin was called out and loudly applauded. THE CHEAPEST YET".--1116 News Job Office is now printing bill-heads in the bcaC style and cs 4ne paper, at $2 50 per thousand. Merchants, think of it? VALUABLE CARGOES FOR EL-ROPE AND OTHER POINTS.-Messrs.

Howell: GENTLEMEN-Having received your communi? cation of September 7ih, asking for an explana? tion in regard to thc condition of my crops where Mapes' Superphosphate or Lime was used, lean cheerfully say that your superphosphate of lime increased my crops al least one-third, especially in my low lands. It gnve my cotton a healthier color and it grew beyond all thc cotton I had thc first ol'the season, and I am satisfied it put my crops at least two weeks in advance of crops that were planted without thc phosphate of lime. I think it has a tendency to warm, enrich and sweeten thc land, especially where lt lias soured Irom want or thorough draining, and especially on these low lands that have never been thorough? ly sub-soiled. My cotton was far in advance of any cotton about mc where the Peruvian guano was used, and while Hie Peruvian Guano, in the heat or the summer, burnt thc cotton, Mapes' Su? perphosphate or Lime kept the cotton growing rrcsh and healthy. I did not use lt on any but my col on land; I don't know what effect lt would have with corn, but I believe it would be the best manure wc can have on tlitse low lands.
