‘the feast of Christ's birth. In the zarly
history of the Church it was customary to
‘the death of illustrious persons
rather than their birth, and it was not antil
in commemoration of the birth of a Saviour.

aes
In the 5th century, the Westera Charch ordered that the feast should be celebrated
forever on the day of the old Roman feast
of the birth of Sol, though no information
t@specting the day of Christ's birth existed.
The custom of making presents on Christ
mas Eve, is derived from an old heattién

“Germany ats fedst peouliar to that
try. Bat mearly all civilized Dig pea
fallen inte the custom—it has become con-.
weerated by ages ‘and contributes to make:
‘the festival interesting to all'classes. The
Englishman enjoys hie plum pudding and
the American his roast turkey, while children everywhere anxiously look forward for .
the yearly visits of Santa Claus. In most
‘of the Southern States the entire week, from
Christmas day to New Year's, is spent as a
holiday. Even-the slaves, during that time,
were given holiday, and were allowed to
meet on the different plantations for the
purpese of enjoying themselves in their owa
way. That the day will be properly cele
rated in this city is evidenced by the rapidity with which turkeys are “‘gobbled up”
in the market, and the lively business done
by toy dealers and ‘confectioners. A large
number of excellent presents were distributed at the Methodist Church last evening,
and a Christmas tree will yield its joyous
treasures to the little ones at the Congre~ gatioual Church to-morrow night. We suppose services, appropriate for the day, will
be held at the city ad eb to-day.
A Cunamsisextien Sattor.—On_ the
“‘Qdth of last February, Captain Boggs, in
command of the United States steamer Con.
necticut, arrived at St. George’s Bermuda,
and the pilot showed him a circular of her
Britannic Majesty, ordering all Federal or
Confederate vesseula of war to anchor in a
certain spot. Captain Boggs anchored
where he chose. The next day he was inVited, ‘by a gun-beat, to call upen’ the Gov‘sernor. ‘The Governor asked him if he had
not seen the Queen's circular. Captain
Boggs replied that he had seen a {circular
directing that all Federal or Confederate
vessels should anchor ia a certain spot; “but
as I command neither of them, I took
the liberty to use my own diseretion.” The
Governor, with a face ‘of blank astonishtent, asked: ‘What do you command?” .
And the true-hearted and clear-headed sailor
replied, “I have the honor te command a
United States man-of-wat.”
Captain Boggs, says an Eastern paper,
‘anderstands distinctly that the United States
are not a league, a federation, or a ,confederation, but a nation. They are indiesolubly
united inte one people, and no State or
combination of States, no citizen or combination of citizens, can permanently disturb
that unity. General Grant is not a Federal officer, he is a United States officer. An_
drew Johnson is not the Federal President,
he is President of the United States. tt
was convenient avd canning in the English Government to asstme an accomplished separation by describing the Government of the United States as Fed-ral, and
the rebellion as the Confederate power.—
Captain Boggs taugbt her Britanni¢ Majesty’s Governor of Bermuda a very necessary
lesson, and he deserves the thanks of his
country for it. It is also a lesson which we
should ail do Well to ponder.

Gazette has been making so much
. the schools, before the matter was ever’
derstanding, the coker was not eaiorejeent from town, retarned. One of the
attaches of the Gazette, promised to bring a
complaint in writing, before.the Trustees,
which he neglected to do, probably preferring to bring the affair before the public, as
that plan would give an opportunity of venting a little spite which he entertained
against-seme school officer. We know that,
the matter/of dismissing the children alluded
to by the Gazette, was discussed, and the
Trustees agreed upon a course of action,
before any complaint was made through that
paper. The Trustees ard ever ready to
receive any suggestions, or hear any complaints which parents or citizens, have;to,
tmake. Their object is to make. the Public .
Schools equal to any m the State, and to
this end their labors are directed. The man
who willfully misrepresents them or seeks
to bring discredit upon the Schools is an
Jenemy-to the common school system. We
should not have alluded to this subject except for the purpose of correcting misrepresubject, and for the truth of our stitements,
we refer to any member of the Board of
Trustees. The Schools in this city, are
‘equal to any in the State, and we again say
that recent charges of incompetency of
teachers, and the inputations against the
Trustees are without foundation.. The
Gazette is.certainly endeavoring to retain
its whilom reputation for’ assailing every
thing good.

CHRISTMAS TREE.— All those having presents for distribution at the Congregational
Church, to-morrow night, are requested to
have them in, if possible, by noon, in order
that they may be properly arranged upon

by the children will be very interesting, and
