The pages of history teem with ac- e ounts of men who have risen from the s owly vale of poverty to the most exalted 1' tations. The humble student boy has 1 an by degrees and becomes the learn- t d and scientific professor; the appren ice from his serving to the elevated P lignity of a statesman ; the private oldier to wear the insignia of royalty; he rustic youth from the country to he distinguished lawyer and the mer- e hant millionaire ; tl-e plowman of the t eld, by the splendor of his talents, be: omes the object of universal admira. ion.

A few days ago, we received a pam- 1 >hlet, entitled "The thirty-second An iiversary of the House of Geo. W. Nilliams & Co., and the Inauguration >f the Carolina Savings Bank, of I harleston, S.

W. P iVillianis. We have but slight acquain- S ance with Mr. Williams, but presume C im to be between fifty and sixty ,ars of age. Suffice it to say, that he t tarted out in life when seventeen d ears of age, with ten dollars in his 0 >oeket, earned by the sweat of his. row. From his father's home, in facoochee Valley, Ga., walked to Au- t ;usta, Ga., with a budget on his back. F listance 150 miles.

Mr. Williams is a wealthy man ot so wealthy as Astor or Vander- t ilt or'Stewart, but wealthy far be. ond the most of our Southern Men hants. He is liberal in his views,s haritable in his disposition and generf us in his donations. He steered his t oncern safely through stormy panics rid momentary convulsions, when udreds went down all around him; assed unscathed through the trying a rdeal of the war, and launched out 'ith renewed vigor at its close on the n >mmercial ocean ag'ain.- He standsd )-day at the head of the mercantile e epart2ent in South Carolina. The pictures drawn by Plutarch ave influenced, it is said, the minds P F many to great and heroic actions. tI hie Mr. Williams would be no pro. type for glory-seeking men at the annon's mouth on the bloody field of cl attl, yet it may well be said that he tands forth to-day as a living model P >r the young men of the State, who ti ave to go forth on the battle-field of ai fe and 'desire to achieve a successfult ud respectable name.

The formation of a National Sports ien's Association at this time is at acting the attention not only of per Ins devoted to the taking of animals, sh and fowl, for profit, but also of iortsmen and others who are desirous f preventing the wanton destruction f creatures uscd for the food or com )rt of man. When the primitive emigrants first rrived in this country, they found ie forests, seas. and streams swarm ig with animal life, the result of mnturies of undisturbed security. rom that day the destruction of these reatures bcgan. first for the preserva on of life and for raiment; next as rticles of sale or commerce, or to be sed in the arts of civilized life; again, s population increased, the destrue on increased for the purposes of ort. This unrestricted slaughter has at nath resulted in the total extermina on in this country of some varieties f animals and birds, or driving them ) far away from populated districts iat isolated specimens are now rarely yund in the remotest wildernesses. 'he Beaver, which was once so freely >und in Pennsylvania, no longer .ists. The Deer, which were once > plentiful in various sections of the untry, are becoming rare, and various ther animals, birds and fish are now e subjects of legislative enactments. o great importance is attached to the reservation of fish, that many States ave not only restricted the time of shing, but have passed laws and have iade appropriations and appointed inent citizens as commissioners for e purpose of restocking streams and Lkes which the cupidity of men have Ihost depopulated. While in the general sense it is to e interest of society that this indis riminate slaughter be stopped. on no ne class of men does the duty of uiding public sentiment, instigating armonious international laws and at mntion to a proper regard for the same, evolve so much as on the sportsman. The amateur who delights in hunt ig and fishing-not for gain, but for ealthful recreation-for recuperation -for exercise-is of all men the one ,ho appreciates the importance of the tw. The statesmen who sees the nportance of cheap food and raiment )r the people, whose interests are his barge, will use his endeavors to pro. ide laws, that future generations may ot be deprived of the blessings which iis generation is so wantonly destroy In this view, the preservation of the f fur seal in Alaska, the bison of the lains, the fish in our rivers and .reams. and the crustacca on our sea Dasts, is of momentous importance. With a view of procuring a concen -ation of interest and effort, it is now eemed desirable to formu a National ranization, that the actiou of sports. men may be harmionious and uniform iall districts of our common coun* ty ; and for this purpose a movement as been inaugurated by the "New 'ork State Association for the Pro. rtion of Fish and Game," in a pre. minary meeting at Niagara Falls on eptember 9, 1874, to take such action 3may then seem advisable.

The strange phenomenon of a large water spout is described as being seen one day last week at Langley, S. C. The pond at Langley covers 600 acres, and ever this rested a dark cloud, which shot downwards a funnel shaped column, the water apparently moving upwards to meet it. The two met finally and through the huge funnel thus foinied an immense quantity of water was sucked up. The column, it is said, did not remain stationary, but moved towards the railroad trestle, in which direction it disappered. Not a drop of water fell from this newly charged .loud in the vicinity, althouh a heavy rain in the neigh borhood of Aiken was supposed to be i the re4t of it. Short Thrift. A negro. named Henry (lover,eom mitted an assualt ou Friday of last week on M1rs. Shuler, of Lexington, while on her way home. While en gaged in his brutal work a white man came up, when the negro fled. Mrs. Shuler was badly beaten about the head with a lightwood knot. Subse quent search found the villain in a swamp. and rightly he was shot down on the spot. The next case is that of the negro who murdered Capt. A. F. Butler, Railroad Agent. in the city of Augusta, during the last week. It was an m:i provoked murder and done in the presence of the murdered man's wife. Here, too, was a richly deserved pun ishment meted out. The negro, after arrest and incarceration, was demanded of the jailer by the indignant citizens and speedily made to expiate his crime. What a comment on civil rights! Carolina NIiIitary Institute. We acknowledge receipt of a copy of the official Register for 1873 to 18'75 inclusive. of Col. J1. P.

The next session opens under most favora ble prospects on the 1st of October next. We make the following extract in regard to Discipline : "In the Caro lina 3Military Institute the discipline 'is military, but the military element, though used, is not unduly mag nifed. The object being to impress upon the cadets the idea of duty and responsibility, the military arma is employed. not so much to compel an unquestioning obedience to a rigid code, as to strengthen appeals to the moral sense and to enforce ethical propositions. All of the military that is really valuable is used ; all that is unnecessary and purely mechanical is rejected." Circulars furnished on application to Col. J. P. Thomas, Charlotte, N. C. The Way it Works. We cop)y from the Edgefleld -hieer isteefl(wing. It tells plainly how Edicalismn works: ~The prisoners in our jail, mostly, if ot all, colored, send us am scrawl. wvhich, being reduced to good English. amounts o this: Messrs. Editors-We, as poor risoners, beg space in your columns to iv that we feel deeply thankful that Gd has blessed us with the ministrations f such a good man as the Rev. Win. Tomas, who, on Saturday last, came in nd spent some time wvith ns, reading nd talking for the welfatre of our souls, md c-losing with prayer. He read to us the 3rd Chapter of John, and assured us ht whosoever belicreth in Christ shall not perish biut shall have everlasting ife. We must say that this good preacher as done moire for us thtan any one we ever saw, Hie has often given us papers nd books, and pointed us the way from earth to glory, He has done more for us than the colored preachers, for they seem to care nothing for us. Not one of them ever comes in to see us. So e pray that God may reward Mr. homas in Heaven. Signed: '"The ?risoners in Edgenield Jail." The reason the negro preachers do not visit these prisoners, is that they will probably not be out in time to vote next fall. Of all your politicians the negro reacher is the most thorough. the most absorbed, the most indefatigable. And of all political gatherings, the negro preahings are the purest and most em hatic. Among the negro preachers it s not, "By faith are ye saved," but 'Vote for the Radical party and go to heavn; do othewise and go to hell." Cartridge Bo TeaehinuO. At Ridge Spring, on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, a col lision between the colored militia and the whites seemed imminent a few days ago. The colored companies were drilling untIl a late hour oi Mon day night. and threats were made as t0 what they would do if interfered with by the whites. The latter be cominim inceinsed at the offensive atti tude assumed, sent out runners for help in case it came to the worst. Fortunately for theni, the colored troops kaving fought nobly in the drill, retired quietly without ai overt act. It is time that the radical party, if they sincerely wish reform nd a peaceful campaign, endeavor to con vince the rank and file of their fol lowers that this state of affairs must be discontinued. It is scarcely pos-i ble that such offences will be borne with the forbearance heretofore ex hibited. Gcorgetown is also much distracted, but it is principally a republicau fight between rival factiouns. A requisition was made on the commandant at Char les6on for troops to preserve the peace. The demand was declined. however, on the ground that the difficulty was a mat ter for the State authorities to settle. A revenue cutter went down to protect United States property. A Call for a National Sports men's Convention. At Oswego, N. Y., June 23, 1874, the State Association for the protec tion of fish and game, resolved to en dorse the call for a National Associa tion, and appointed the 9th day of September, at Niagara Falls, as the time and place to meet in convention, and deliberate for intelligent and effi cient legislation for the protection of Game, Birds and Fish. In accordance with tiis the call is made and dele gates are invited from all sections of the country to attend the Convention, which we have been requested to pub. lish. The necessity for some such lezislation cannot be doubted, but no mAtter how wholesome it might be made it could have no effect on any hunting grounds in this part of the d.main. In the first place there is io g.une to protect; second, were there any it would be necessary to legislate for the purification of the State Gov ernmeut ere any law to that end could be enacted which would be respected. Seallawag ascendency. equal right., radical robberies amd other evils too numerous to mnotion have turned loose thousands of hungry hunters who make a clean sweep of everything from a minnow in the waters to a sparrow in the fields. However, if. there are any here who would like to have a voice in the Convention, we invite them to read the call and then go to Niagara Falls. Encourage Them. "In Pairfield, Newberry, Union. Spartanburg and Greenville, many of the colored people are prepared to listen to men whom they have always respected, always knew were their friends, but whom the party lash and the power of ridicule and of personal denunciation kept them from support ing in political matters and in elec tions. This disposition to correct a wrong, to be set in the right path, to et out of the den of thieves, and to be ranged in political action with' hotest men, ought to be warmly met and strongly encouraged. Our friends1 may depend upon it that the colpred people will hear thema with patience, and will weigh their suggestions." So far as our observation extends the Phoenix is correct in saying that "the colored people are prepared to listen to men whom they have always respected." And it is our duty to, encourage that feeling. In no county of the State does a better feeling exist between the two classes thanm in New berry. The bitterness of the past seems to be all past, and the kindliest1 relations exists where heretofor'e it was the reverse. The colored people have ~ gained an experienice which will be of incalulable benefit to them, in finding out that they have been made the toolst of designing, unprincipled men, who eared nothing for them, and every thing for themselves. It At a full meeting of thte Patrons of Husbadry, Grange No. 69, held at Wiliston. on the 16th instant, it was unanimously Resolved, That the Patrons of said Grange, under a sense of duty tot themselves and the community, in r view of the demoralizing ten dencies 6 arising from the mischievous practice of the purchase of small parcels of s otton by the country storekeepers t after sundown, have determined, wit hit the view of suppressing such traffie ct o withhold their patronaga from all erchants and other traders who buy otton in small parcels, either lint or t seed, between sundown and sunrise. t A wise and proper course, and one I that it would be well for every grange C to follow. t_______ Columbia County, New York, ist made the scene of earthquake shocks, nd other remarkable phenomena.
