But things seem 'to have taken quite @ pacificatory turn, and the visit of socicee a friend of the President of the United States as Col.

Is it wise for them to do it?—for yeur corres- pondent firmly believes they can.

Let Major Andersou capitulate, evacu- ate, retire, back out, slide, slope, vamose—or by what- ever other term in ‘‘ military tactics”? the act may be expreesed—and a magnificent fortification, costing mil- hous of money and years of labor will be preserved for the Confederate States to commence the world with. Caaniestox, 8. C., March 25—7 P. M. Suspicions Excited by Colonel Lamon’s Visit— His Inter- view with Governor Pickens and Visit to Tort Sum ter, de. de. The subject and object of the visit of Colonel Lamon have beea the topic of conversation ever since his ar- rival was made known. Many citizens expressed dissa. tisfaction at the quasi-incog. manner in which the Colonel had made his appearance among them; but be- fore he left his urbanity and unreserved deportment dis- armed most of them of their prejudice, and if he had consented to remain here a few days he would, no doubt, have been treated hospitably, and been better satisiled ia regard to Southern institutions than be probably ever has been, notwithstanding he was “ raised in old Vir- ginia.”” At ten o’clock A. M. the Colonel had a brief home inter- view, at the Charleston Hotel, with Governor Pickens. At a few hours after the interview was resumed at the Governor's headquarters. This interview lasted some two hours, in the Governor's closet, without witnesses, not even the Governor’s confidential secretary being pro. sent. At half-past one, Colonel Lamon, accompanied by Colonel Duryea, of the Governor’s staff, and Colonel Hatch, of the Quartermaster’s Department, started for the government steamer Planter, and at Central whart took their departure for Fort Sumter, Col. Hatch remaining, but another officer of his department accom. panying the party. The Piantor started, with a flag of ‘irectly for the fort, amid the inquiring eyes of people. Arrived at the fort, Col. Lamon, with Col. Duryea as the escorting party, and eno other officer, entered the fort, snd bad au interview with Major Anderson, which lasted about an hour. The particulars of the interview cannot yet be divulged, but the matte: in discussion was in relation to the mode of evacuating the fort, the accounting for the public property, eo.» somewhat similar in effect to the particulars attondin: the surrender of the Charleston arsenal to Col. Cunning ham by the United States authorities, During the tarr, of Col, Lamon at Fort Sumter tno practicing gun: blazed away from the batteries on Morrie Island, Fort Moultrie, &c., im exceliont style, as if th officers knew that there was near so devoted friend of the United States as Colonel Lamon. It was a amateur exhibition of what the batteries can do in cas of a general assault. The Planter returned about half-past three to her wharf, where Colonel Lamon was received by Colonel Hatch, and, with Colonel Duryea, conveyed ina carriage to the Governor’s quarters. fiero Colonel Lamon paid his reepects to his Excellency, left for his hotel, and an- nounced that he would leave in the eleven o’clock even- ing train, en route Me Washington city. Ho will be ac- companied from this city by Colonel Bagiett, of Balti- min the interval between his rcturn from Fort Sumter ana his departure for the cars, Colonel Lamon was the obsorved of all observers. He stood the soratiny with sreat complacency, for there is nothing vulgar or imper- tapas m4 the.’ tequirin glance of a Charlea- tovian. He conversed with acquaintances, bought the New Yorx Herp, read it, and lefy for the cars, with no other regret than he had not further time at his disposal to enable him to still farther appreciate the kindness which had been extended to him by Governor Pickens, members of his staff and other Charleston gentlemen. Tae evacuation of Sumter is agreed upon. The mode is the oniy question at issue. Colonel Lamon bad not seen General Boaure gard prior to his departure for Fort Sumter. ‘THE STRAMER ISANEL.

Good Friday—which, by the way, seems at first thought something like 4 misnomer—is ono of those an- niversaries which challenge the respect and veneration of ail the innumerable sects reposing within the bosom of Christianity, Catholics, Episcopalians, Unitarians, Lu- theraps, Presbyterians, Methodists, Universalists—all Christian persuasions, in fact—recognise the solomnity of a day which calls to mind the crucifixion of the Saviour of men, and acknowledge the propriety of sig- nalizing it by peculiar devotions and ceremonies. How the pretix “good”? came to be applied to the day, instead of bad, or mournful or bloody, which some might com- sider more appropriate, is involved in considerabis doubt; wut the most rational aad satisfactory expianation is that the term was 80 applied merely because by the great event of that day (the crucifixion) man’s redemption was accomplished—a very good and desira!e result, be- yond cavil. However, others hold that the name comes from the Jews, who considered it a very good day, inas- much as it witnessed the death of Him whom they re- garded as ® biasphemer and impostor. In the Reman Catholic churches the coremonies on Good Frivay are the most mournful and solema of tue whole year. It is the oniy day on which there is no consecra- tion of the Eucharist, and no sacrifice offered up at Masa. Lvery thing in the office recalls the passion of Chriat, aad bids the worshipper to contemplate the 3on of God cruci- fied. Such lessons and tracts as contain predictions of our Saviour’s coming and of his immolation are read, as likewise the verification of those prophecies, as rolated in the history of the passion by St. John, The pricsts and their assis‘apts appear clothed in black vestments, and the aitars are shora of all ornamentation, with a view to preeent everything in the most mournful aspect. The most striking feature of the Catholic ceremonies consists in the veneration, not the adoration, of the cross, @ custom which enly dates back as far as Christianity it- self. Priests and poople kneol thrice before the cross, and then kiss it, in tokep of their adoration of our Saviour. After this ceremony the host consecrated on Holy Thursday is brought back to the altar from its place of temporary keeping with great ceremony, and the priest receives the sacrament, after which the same vespers as on the day previous are sung. This terminates the office of Good Friday. Tn the Episcopalian churches a special service is set apart for this day. The selection of tho psalms to be read during what is technically termed “the prayers” are of the most “penitential” charaoter, and the gloria patri after each is read instead of being chanted. The lessons are algo taken from the prophecies relative to the Saviour’s death, and the fulfilment as recorded by the Evangelist St.John, The organ is kept hermetically sealed, and if, during the service, there is any singing at all, it is with- out musical accompaniment, and the wards are selected from the penitential psalms of David. A sermon is gene- rally preached from some text relative to the death of the Redeemer. In England and other European countries a custom has long existed of keeping the day holy by a nearly general suspension of business, tho devout at pg divine ser- vice. Another custom also oxists of for break. fest a number of bans on which across is impressed. ‘There are generally served up hot, and many a child looks forward with pleasure for his ‘hot cross bums.” Many a poor person earns a few extra pence by the sale of these buns, and the following doggerel can be hoard throughout the quiet streets of large cities during the early hours of vhe morping:— One-a-penny buns, Two a-penny buns, One-a peony, two-a-penny Hot cross burs. When Good Friday comes ‘The old woman ruas With her one-a-pouny, two-a-penny ‘Hot cross buns. This simple custom of eating buns on this auspicious ¢ay doubtless impresses the event upon the minds of the izing generation with sufficient force, that when they get much older they reverence the day ‘with due solemnity. The Court Martial on Commander Walke. The court martial hold upon Henry Waiko, the Com- mander of the storeship Supply, has resulted in a virtual acquittal, sitLough he has technically been found guilty. It will be remembered that the toquiry at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, occupied several days,and that the offence Teally consisted in bringiog away a large aumber of per sous from Pensacola, after the Navy Yard had been sur- rendered, and who, bad they been left behind, must either ha. joined the Southern ranks, or have suffered severely trom destitution, The foliowiug are the charges and sentence:— CHARGES. 1.
