D., has adopted (Bave a slight change in the sixth section) those of the arch? diocese of Baltimore. The regula? tions for Lent in the Diocese oi Charleston nre, therefore, the follow? ing: Ash Wednesday, the first day oi Lent, falls on the 26th day of Feh mary. 1. All the faithful who have com ploted their twenty-first year are, unless legitimately dispensed, bourn to observe the Fast of Lent. 2. They are to make only one mea a day, excepting Sundays. 3. The meal allowed on fast days ii not to be taken till about noon. .1. At that meal, if on any day per mission should be granted for eu tin; flesh, both flesh nnd fish are not to bi used at the same time, even by wa; of seasoning. 5. A small refreshment, commonl; called collation, is allowed in th evening; no general mle ns to th quantity of food permitted at thi time is or can be made. Bnt th practice of the most regular Christiai is, never to let it exceed tho fourtl part of an ordinary meal. 6. The quantity of food allowed a a collidion is, in this Diocese, bread butter, cheese, all kinds of fruitt salads, vegetables and fish. Mil and eggs are allowed. 7. General usage has made it law ful to drink in the morning som warm liquid, os tea, coffee, or thi chocolate, made with water. 8. Necessity and custom have au thorized the use of hog's lard, ic stead of butter, in preparing fish vegetables, &o. 9. The followiug persons are ea empted from the obligations of fasi ing: "Young persons under twenty one years of age, the sick, nurBin women, those who are obliged to d hard labor, all who through weaknet cannot fust without groat prejudic to their health. 10. By dispensation, the uso < flesh meat will bo allowed at an time on Sundays, and once a day o Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays an Saturdays, with tho exception ( Holy Thursdays, and the second an last Saturdays of Lent. ll! Persons disponsed from tl obligation of fasting, on account < tender or advanced ago, or hat hard labor, are not bound by the r striction of using meat only at oi meal on days on which its use granted by dispensation. Othe dispensed from tho fast for oth causes, as well as those who a obliged to fast, are permitted to u meat only nt one meal. By order of fRT. REV. DR. LYNCH, Bishop of Charleston. T. BERMINGHAM, Vicar-General. CHARLESTON, S. C., February ] 1868. -? + ? ? , When the Pacific Railroad is co pleted, a traveler may go uround i world in three months. The fact mentioned in tho report of Mr. Banks upon the naturalization law, that of our present 30,000,000 of .white people, only 9,000,000 are de? scendants from revolutionary stocks, while 21,000,000 are new stocks en? grafted upon tho colonial population, induces the Norfolk Journal to sug? gest that the physiological question whether the European race is capa? ble of maintaining itself permanent? ly on this continent is not yet set? tled. The rate of increase, however, of the native population is as great ns that of most European untions, and greater than somo of them. In France the population has not oven doubled within a century and a half. In England it has almost doubled within a period of fifty years, and in the United States it has been nearly equal to the English increase. In Upper Canada, the growth of population, notwithstanding its ri? gorous climate, has been moro rapid than that of any country in Europe. The exhausting -activity required in the settlement of a new country may wear out tho vitul forces moro rapidly than in old and established commu? nities, but we have seen no proof that there aro physical causes pecu? liar to America which render the Anglo-Saxon race unable to maintain itself without the aid of fresh blood from the Europeau coutiueut. At the same time, we do not dispute the fact that without vlie additions from emigration, the Uuited States would Probably now be, as compared with luropean powers, n sixth-rate coun? try in populatiou. PROGRESSIVE.-Last evening, that excellently managed and uniformly popular and indispensable establish? ment, the Charleston Hotel, was the scene of a large gathering of its friends to pay tributo to the enter? prise of its present superintendent, Major Horbach, which has manifest? ed itself in a thousand ways, but most conspicuously ia the last few days, by the provision he has mado for the general illumination of the front of the hotel. The excellent band of the Fifth Uuited States In? fantry was present, and contributed in no measured way to the general hilariousness which followed as a consequence of the enterprise of friend Horbach, and the manner in which he permitted his friends to celebrate it.-Charleston Courier. THE WINTER IN CALIFORNIA.-A letter from California says the pre? sent winter has been by far the cold? est and roughest experienced in that State since lS61-'2, whoa all the val? ley sections were desolated by floods. This season, the levees of Sacramento have stood the test, and that sadly afflicted city has not been deluged, but the entire valley country, from one end of the State to the other, has been flooded, and the loss is im? mense, lu Yalo County, opposite Sacramento, orchards, worth as high as 850,000 to $75,000 each, havo been utterly ruined by the floods, which have swept over them and covered them with wood, clay and coarse gravel, washed down from tho moun? tains. A lady from Georgia was recently in New Albany. 1 adinna, looking in vain for her daughter. She, poor woman, was tho widow of a Georgia State Senator, who was a fierce se cessiouist, and gave nearly all his property, about 085,000, to the Con? federacy. He then enlisted in the rebel army, and was killed at the first battle of Bull Run. Her four sons were all killed while fighting in the rebel service. One of her daugh? ters died from grief for their loss, aud the one for whom the mother hus been looking was sent North by Gen. Sherman, for having noted as a rebel spy when his troops wore near her mottler's plantation. The soldiers also burned all tho buildings and fences on the place. ? An Indiana Judge disposed of a couple at Lafayette recently, by send? ing the husband to tho ?penitentiary and marrying the remaiuder. SPECIAL NOTICES. THE pubrJo CBteem in which PANK NIN'S HEPATIC BITTERS aro held, is nnother proof of their excellence as a Tonic.

A ii I\ MIND-When disease has [ undermined tho health, and tho physical ? yt bi>i ' haB become prostrated, a etimu lat. ?ha will not only strengthen, but re- j move mo cause, should bo immediately resorted to. Mental distress is also a fruitful source of tho breaking down of the constitution, and the ravages of this enemy to health aro truly alarming. For all such maladies HOSTETTKR'S STOMACH BIT? TERS have been found unsurpassed. By acting directly upon the digestivo organs, they remove the heavy, disagreeable feel? ing after eating, BO often complained of by persons of a dolicate temperament. As j Hoon as digestion is restored, tho patient ? linds his strength increasing and his gc- j ncral health improved. Thousands of persons certify that it may ba relied on in all oaaea of weakness or j nervous debility attendant upon sedentary babita. Tho generality of Bitters aro BO disagreeable to tho tasto that they arc objectionable to a weak stomach. This is not tho case with Hostctter's Bitters, which will be found mild and extremely pleasant. Balsamio plants, barka and roots con tribut ti their restorative juices to render it soothing and strengthening. Its basis is the only pure stimulant which has ever been produced con taming no fusil oil, or any other deleterious element. Tho most careful and skillful chemists have analyzed the Bitters, and pronounce them harmless. This is scientific testimony: but the testimony of the hundreds of thousands who have experienced the pre? ventivo and curativo effects of the great vegetable tonic and alterative of modem times is still more conclusive. In Fever and Aguo, Dyspepsia, Billiousnoss, Ner? vous Complaints, Chronio Complaints and goneral debility, it is aa noarly infallible as anything in this falliblo world can bo.
