The thee of Teneb'K. which will besang at St. Peter's church this evening, is

solemn oiu ceremony oi the churchwhich was instituted to commemorate, ina purely apirituai way, tbe completion oithe vicarious atonement in the death oiChrist A large triangular candelabrumis placed on the altar, with lights to repre-sent ail the apostles, that at the apex torepresent Christ. The lights are extinguiahed one by one at intervals, the clergychanting in chorus suitable verses fromtbe scriptures. This Is continued till noneDut one tbe topmost -- remains. This isnot extinguished, but is taken behind tbealtar and hid, leaving the cnurcn in complete darkness, to represent the death andInterment of the Saviour. In the courseof s brief space it is brought forth againto show the three day ne lay in the tomband his subsequent gloiioua resurrectionfrom the dead. Each light is typical of aprophet who spoke of the Lord's coming.and the putting out thereof represents hisdeath. As tbe beautiful ceremony la anew thing in Memphis, the church mayte expected to Decrowned.

The success that attended tbe meetingheld yesterday to ortraniza and establishan Inventors Aid Association was mostgratifying. There are 1 .valuable lovenlions tn ibis city and In tho adjacentcountry which tbe owners have not themeans of developing It costs money tosecure patents and make working models.Tbe association organized yesterday, Ifconducted with any sort of wisdom, willbecome the richest body In tbe South, andMemphis will become the Mecca of pro-gressive mechanical genius From twentyto fifty thousand dollars will be readilysecured. In fsot, every one approached onthe subject agreed to stake from fifty tofive hundred dollars on tbe result of tbedoings of yesterday, Lst the ocinmitteemeet and act wisely.

RINGS.

Ibe Lively Thing.

Editors Appkal "Rings" are ail therage, bat I am for tbe lever or the southern Inventors Aid Association. I agreewith the Syracuse philosopher, that thereis nothing like the lever, ana wun yourcorrespondent, "Cotton Pisnter," thatthere is nothing like this lever of Inventors Aid Association, rtwiroaas ana mannfactoriee are great levers to lift us, butthis lever of invention, with a companyto furnish the fulcrum, transcends ihemall in its power to pry us into the positionof prosperity, There are many inventions,to mv certain knowledge worth minions,now lying useless fcr the want of meansto bring them out. I wag also pleasedwith tbe plan and programme publishedin the Appeal of the lSth instant. Itwill cartainly and withoat doubt provetbe best investment on the market; andalso favorable to inventors, as it lifts themup. The capitalist is msae t; raise inegood inventor up, ana men to me uisparse plethoric by the genius of the In-

ventor. It must be made a success, andsweep the whole South, with Memphis asthe initial, central snd ellglMe point, mefulcrum, FARMER.

A meeting was held at the hall of thechamber of commerce, for the purpose oforganizing an Inventors' Aid society,vesterdsv afternoon.

colonel 1 ro 'j so ate cat tea tae meeting hiorder, and moved, and it was agreed, thatMr. H. Lemon be appointed chairman.

On motion of Msior Sykee, henryWhite was requested to act aa secretary

Majsr Sykos, insisting the obi set or themeeting, referred to the progress made byNorthern mechanics in the dmerent artsHe stated that there was not enough conoerted or effort on the partof the mechanics In this section to lmprove and perfect tbe mechanic arts. Thebenefits of organizations tor the purposeof improving and building up cities wssrtnrredto at conaiaeraDie length, ineber.ttKs of mechanical inventions to thehuman race were spoken oi, and tbe inventcra of cotton gins, tto., were euloiz:d as benefactors of the peo

pie. A newly-Invente- cot ton-cor-

press was a home invention of greatmerit, calculated to enncn me growers oicotton. Such inventions were generallythe work of poor men the rich prefer toinvest money in other affairs, lne or actof the Inventors' Aid Society was to assist men to patent articles thst were likely to be usel ul, the inventors of which nothaving means to pa ent them ana oommence their manufacture, giving a certainper cent, of ail profits to the society fortheir assistance at the start. A railroadinvention a aingle track by a citizsn ofMemphis, was calculated to be a greatsuccess ihe speaker montionca manygreat inventions by Southern men, theprofits of which were rsaUzad by Northern cepi-.aiist- who'had advanced themonev to make the invention successfulThe workinmen, who create valua, wereclaimed lo ba tbe wealth or me countryIn nearly ah the great cities of Luropnand of this country JsPere are societies iorthe earn i ob ecv for which we axe workingMemphis now needed mechanical invention, and ought to enccurage such as arelikely to bnrg money here for their manutactcre. By associated capitals smallsum from each wouid carry out this greatob?ct; and one successful inventionwould make rich not oniy me inventor,but the association. This would not onlybe a profitable investment for the society,but a great good for the people. All articles for which the society was requestedto advance money should be examined byexperienced mechanics.

THE CHARTER.A charter under which the association

might crganiz? was read by Major Sykes.Mr. Hiizttid favored applying to the

chancery court for a charter which wouldneed to be changed in name. He wasglad to see a movement made to enoourage mechanical inventions, many of whichoriginate in me south, nut are not supported here, and are earned to the North,where more Inducements tre held out tomanufacturers. The charter profferedgives powers and privileges which a chaneery court cannot oonrer.

On motion, a committee on organizationwas appointed, to report next Tuesday afternoon al four o'clock, at the hall of therhamb.r of commerce. Committe- e-Messrs. John Cowdon, W. M. Hutton, Wa. Lake, M. Burke, A Fearaall.

On motion, the chairman (Mr. Lenowand Mr. Hitzfeld were adaed to the com- -

imttee.The meeting then adjourned, to meet

MEMPHIS COTTON.

The Coarse of Tiade-Hcma- bls StillLooking Cp.

We notice," says the New OrleansTimes, "that the steamer Belle Lee is onher wsy down from Memphis, whence shestarted on Wednesday evening with twothousand six hundred and fifteen bales ofootton, which is said to be the heaviestload of the staple shipped from that portdown the river for ten years. Includingthis shipment are one thousand compressed freight II 26 per bale. This furnishes a striking indication that the overland rail route is becoming unsatisfactory,and forcibly illustrates the correctness ofthe New Orleans cotton trade taking emdent measures to reduce the cost of trans-portation on the Southern rivers. However desirable a a., txiuia uarge tinemay be to accommodate our westernfriends, and oiler a healthy competition tothe present transportation company, wehave not the slightest ooudi mat me prosueritv not only of our ootton factors and

all others engaged in the handling ofthe staple, but oi every branch ol trade,and especially dry goods, hardware, bootsand shoes, clothing and groceries, would

far more promo' ed by southern bargelines, which would carry ootton fromMemphis to New Orleans for 60c per bale,and from all other ports and landings atproportionate rates, if at a i za per bale

be the interest oi tnoae concerned toship 2615 bales by one boat, It is fair to in

thai with ine important reauoiion infreights that could be made by barges, thebulk of the Memphis ootton would be sentthis way. Where tbe cotton is sold or val-ued for, there will the bulk of plantation insupplies be bought."

Our contemporary goes too fas!. Morethan half of tbe above 2616 balsa of cot-ton was a through shipment to Liverpool in

one of our largest buyers. Therefore,must not be concluded ihst Memphis hibecome, as before the war, tributary to

New Orleans. She is old enough now torun alone and to paddle her own canoe,

the Times may learn by consulting tbestatistical position of the crop as published in lb- - Appeal. If Memphis shipscotton to New Orleans it will be in thesame wsy and under the same conditions the

when she ships to Mew York. Thismarket is, in many respects, an indeptnt- - See

market. Much, ii not moat, of thecotton that comes here Is bought by spinners agents, all or whom uniformly reportthat their shipments give such satisfactionthat a large increase on orders from year

year is a sure result. In proof of thisoubliah, by permission, the following.

1 dressed by one of the Iftadlng Easternmills to Messrs. B. Baylies A Co.. of this

ly, leading and very influential buyers: areMutual! bAi Lis.s A Co. I have your let

ter having the notice of tbe eomplnuon of ov

orders, etc. We now have cotton enough; tolast us til! the talk wld be of a new crop, at .1

I wish now to acknowledge our obligations toyou for the prompt and faithful manner Inwhich you have done our business In buyingour ootton supply for the jear. If we had notbeen short of funds in November and Decem-ber, and had taken your opinion about thethen future of ootton, it would have saved usseveral thousand dollars, as it is, we are twoor three thousand dollar better off for hav lugbought it in your market, than we should belf we had bought In New York. We have amore even spinning and uniform runningcotton, which Is Important in making Ou-tnumbers. When I took charge of the mill thebelief was very strong that we must haveTexas cotton for ginghams, and our men arenow satisfied.

In the above there are two points towhich we desire to call the attention ofootteu men particularly and oar readersgenerally, and these are, that the mill re-ferred to La several thousand dollars bet-ter off as a result or dealing here and thatMemphis cottons are as good as Texas.But there ts another point. I: is th'.a: Thefair dealing of Messrs. Bayiiss fc Co. madethis saving to the mill and brought aboutthis discrimination in favor of this mar-ket as one where it is possible for all thewants of cotton spinners to be satisfied.As long aa we continue to do this, and dis-countenance gambling in the "future" theNew urieans Times will hud it lmpoaaible even to make It appear that Memphisis other than an independent and leadingootton market.

This being passion week it is observedwith due solemnity by the Episcopalchuroh. During this week dsily servicesare Deing held in this ornate minatare ca-thedral at 7 o'clock a m., 12 noon, 7.30 p.m , with a short lecture.

Last evening the Rav. George C. Harris, the officiating minister, discoursed onsome or the incidents in our Lord's uieHe said that this very day was to be recognized as the anniversary of tbe Saviour's last vlait to the Temple at Jerusa-lem. In the evening he returned to Bethsny to abide with that family of whichLa z true and Martha were members. Iwas his custom to spend his eveningswith those whom he loved, whennot wishing retirement and eolUude

On the way to Jerusalem he had beenmet by the Pharisees and Saddcceee, who,after the resurrection of Ltzerus, werevery anxious about his work, and soughtto entrap mm in ine tempie. mey endeavored to fasten him on the questionof the tribute money, assuring themselvesthat bis answer to their inquiry wouiacertainly bring him into disfavor, eitherbv Questioning the rtomsn civil aumonty, or by declaring himself a par.isan oftbe government.

They sgain aet about bringing him intodifficulties on the question of marriage,but his reply equally disconcerted them.

It was upon tnis day the Ssvlor gave tothe world the parables of the vineyard,the unfaithful husbandman, and themarriage feast.

Whilst these divine teachings were proceeding, the Pharisees and Sadducees acknowledged themselves bunxl. Thewidow then enters upon the sceneand throws In her two mites, towhich Oar Lord directs the attention of his disciples, enforcingthe beautiful lesson thst ber small offer-ing was more acceptable than that of therich, who gave only from their superabundance

Canst then prophesied the destructionof Jerusalem, which had ita fulfillment ina succeeding generation. This was equiv-alent to the annonnoemennt of the firmestablishment of Christ's chnroh ur.onearth and the dispersion of the Jews aa anation tbe commencement of the com-monwealth of Christianity,

Tbe lecturer commended to his bearersthe corefnl reading of the three fables alluded to. Toey illustrated the workingsof the Saviour's own heart toward bis peo-ple. In the midst of his own eventfulpreparations he could not help stoppingto shed a tear over those who were ulti-mately to put him to death, an eve atwhich was the glory of the whole world

Mr. C .".turner did not stop his inauiriesinto me Aisunson norror until yesterday,when he finally succeeded in tracing upevery thread of necessary evidence andproof to establish a oertalnty with regardto his taking off. In our former account.in whicn ;he curious and exciting storywas coci'.rjuea up, to a p3ri.-- in Atklnson ins l i wnicc he round It necessaryto call on ii casual acq niiatanes for son-- i

stimulants to keep avray the oold, whilene sniveren in a ceil m the Adams streetstationhouse. We also said that the docketshowed he had got out, but how? Mr.Cranmer learned yesterday how he gotout. He got our friend to put ud fivedollars for him, on the promise that howould pswn hts Iran tor pistol snd divhim back. Having got on the sidewaikwith his el'igsot pistol he went, the firstdive, to Felmont's shop, on Jeffersonstreet, and pawned the elegant Trantorfor tten dollars and a small pistol,which Peloiont valued at a dolisr. Atkin-son insdstsd on getting the little pistol,and also st Anted it loaded. He got theshop man to do this job for him. He didnot much ujind what sort ol a pistol hogot In return for his Trantor, providedonly it would abooi. He was par-ticular on this point. Hsving madethe trade, ho left. Now, Mr. Cran-mer has satisfied himself that the pistolwnicn was round with Atkinson, downnear Horn Lake, was tbe same as thatloaded for bim in Felmont's shop becauseit eorrespor.ds with the only other pistolof the sort thst Felmont ever had. Hebought two of them together, he said .andhe gave one of them to the good-lookin- g

man wi n me Diack mustache, wno saidhe was going to Horn Lake. Besidesthese coincidences, the ball which wastaken out of Atkinson's head was weighedyesterdsy la the balance and found tocontain the same amount of lead as theballs that f s.mont had for tnoae pistols.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

"RrvkB and rV bathbr The river herefell two Inches. The Arkansas is falling,with five feet to Augusta The St.Liuis Times says: "The decline in theriver 'goes bravely on;' at Spar island Inthe Illinois there are but three feet; fourfeet In the Mississippi to Keokuk, andthree and a hall in the lower Missouri,b Jt a rise of eight fet la reported In thelatter st Omaha, From here to Cairothere are six feet. There la no tellingwhen navigation will be open to St. Pan!Upper Mississippi boatmen do not lookfor the consummation of such a resultmuch before the first of Msy. Shouldthese anticipations be realized, there willonly be six months etesmooating at themost on the upper Mississippi this year,and perhaps that will ba much interferedwith by low water. A telfgram receivedby J. J. Sylvester, yesterday, announceda rise in th-- j Ouachita at Camden, withprospects of a fine river. Rid river sndthe bayou are still low; also the Arkan-sas. From all that can be learned on thesubject, there need oe no fears whateverof a great 11 nod this spring.
