A ?rief Biographical Sketch of tills ''.Milo mid Wllllug Servant ot God. ?jWilliam Gordon Novillo was born oe Walhalla, S. C., about the timo .Sit"? Boauroguard was calling upon Anderson to surrender Fort Sumtor. On his father's sido he is of English descent and has inhoritod many of tho sturdy qualities of John Bull. On tho mot hov',i sido, ho is Irish, and in some dogrco has fallon heir to tho famous Irish Bull flashes of wit and humor cropping out nt tin most un expected times and places. With the exception of ono your spout at Princeton Seminary, his ontiro edu cation has hoon obtained in his nativo ?Hate. Hois thoroughly furnished for tho work of the ministry, having spent tinco years at Nowborry Col lego, ono at Adger Collogo, two at tho Seminary at Columbia, and ono at lVmcoton. With tho exception of a year or two at Frankfort, Ky., his ministry has been pnssod in bia nativo Stato, and tho groater portion of it in Bethel Presbytery. Iiis f st chargo was composed of Ninety-Six and Cokesbury Churches in South Caro lina Presbytery. From thenco ho was called to Concord Church in Bothel, from thenco to Frankfort, Ky., and is onco moro in Bethel Presbytery ns tho pastor of York villo Churoh, in very many respects ono of tho finest churches in the Synod. As a past?, v Brother Novillo soon wins the confidence and lovo of all his chargo. Gifted in remembering names, affable and pleasant in man ner, prudent and wiso in conversa tioil, and withal deeply sympathetic, tho passing years only strengthen the chains that bind pastor and peo plo together. AB a preacher, Brothor Neville is always instructivo, nover entering the pulpit without beaten oil. Ho is thoroughly Calvanistio, and no ono con listen to him without discovering the impress of the lamented Girar deau. Ho is an intensely practical preacher, but his exhortations, Uko those in tho Paulino epistles, aro founded upon doctrine. With a clear voico and pleasant manner, thoroughly proparcd and deoply in earnest, it is literally true of Novillo "While in the pulpit he fears not the face of man." Whilo Brother Neville is deeply concerned in all that adds to tho material and moral good of his State, yet her spiritual interest is the bur den of his heart. For years he has devoted his time, labor and money to tho causo of domestic missions. With a largo pastorate and a cul tured audience to greet him eacl Sabbath, he will yet ride miles in thc afternoon to preach in destitute placets, and at any cost to himself 'nc is over ready to heed tho cry, "Come over and help ns." For years his 'guiding hand has been upon the home missionary work of Bethel Presby tery, and very muc'.i of thc success of that work is due to his wisdom, zeal and energy. At present he is chairman of tho evangelistic commit tee, and hjs fine administrative abil ity, courteous bearing, force of will and knowledge of tho field has already placed thc work upon a sure basis. Ile is pre-eminently fitted for home missionary work. While like the apostlo Paul, his heart's desire and prayer for Israel is th nt they might be saved, like the apostle, tho claims of tho heathen world also presses heavy upon his heart. Under his leadership tho Vorkvillo Church is supporting two foreign Missionaries. Bethel Presbytery has honored Brothqr Neville with every position within her gift. At the prcsont he is a trustee of Davidson Collogo, a Trustee of tho -Theological Semi nary, Chairman of tho Synodical Evangelical Committee, member of tho Iixcoutivo Committee of Bethel Presbytery and a member of tho General Assembly recently held at Now Orleans.-J.

Thero ls poetry in our past, thero is deathless honor to South Caro lina's gallant sons, but in writing a short account of tho troops sont by our State to tight tor hor troodom, thoro is spaoo for littlo moro than baro facts, and a list of names whoso glory furnishes all tho beauty of my thorne. . For much of my information I am indobtcd to our own bravo soldior, Col. J. N, Brown, who not only boro tim sufferings and privations of tho Confed?rate camp, but won Confed? ralo laurels as well, having been pro moted to the rank of general. To tho call for troops to defend tho South this State promptly re sponded by raising G5,000 troops; 20,000 of tlicso woro State troops, or reserves, principally old men and boys, verifying hor unparalleled patri otism, robbed tho eradlo and the grave. The first gun fired in that immor tal strugglo was not at Fort Sumter, April mb, 1801, but throe months earlior, from Morris Isla-..January 9th, 1801, by South. Cai oUna cadets, commanded by Major Stevens. It was discharged afr tho "Star of tho Wost," a steamer carrying supplies to Fort Sumter. Tho Fourtli Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers sent out April 14, 1801, was composed of sol diers from Andorson, Oconee, Pick ens and Greenville. Its oflicers wore Col. ,T. B. E. Sloan, Lieut. Col. C. S. Mattison, Major J. II. Whitner, Adjt. S. M. Wilkes. Thero was littlo fighting on South Carolina soil ; our soldiers mot thc foo on tho battlefields of Virginia and Tennessee and by thc courage and patriotism tlioy displayed, proved the spirit of 1770 was still a vital spark, and that tho chivalry of the South could produco the finest sol diers, as well ns tho finest gentlemen, vho world had ovor produced. Tho first important battle was J Jig Bethel, Juno 10th, 1801. The South Carolinians who participated in tint battle wore commanded by C?en. D il. Hill. On July 2lst, 1801, toon place tho battle of Bull Hun, or thc First Manassas. In this fight wore Generals Hampton, Kershaw, Bon ham, Butler and Bec witii their com mauds. It was thero Con. Jackson wai given Iiis soubriquet. Con. Beo ir rallying hi? forces became impationt and exclaimed : "Men look at Jack son's brigade, it stands liko a stone wall." Tlie name passed from tin command to tho commander, and liai become immortal. Thc next important battle inwhicl our soldiers engaged was on Ootobe: 2d, 1801, at Leesburg, Cen. N. G Evans in command of tho Soutl Carolina troops. In 802 our mon participated ii tho following battles: Williamsburg Seven Pines, Gaines' Mill, Frasier' Farm, Mcchanicsvillc, Savage's Sta tion, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain Second Manassas, Ox Hill, Soutl Mountain, Harper's Ferry, Antietam Sharpsburg, Frcdoricksburg, Sliilol and Murfrecsboro. In 1803 occurred the following battles, in which thc 10th, 10th, lOtl and 24th regiments took part : Chancellorsville, Resaca, Nov Hopo, Harrison's Mountain, Cottys burg, Mills Valley, Chickamaugr Richmond, Porrysville. In tho bat tlo of Missionary Ridge tlioy did no participate, beoauso they had mad an unsuccessful attack on Knox villi November 25th, and then relume through Fast Tennessee to Virginif In 1801 took place tho battles, o Tim Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Col Harbor, Dandridge, Fort Harriso: and Richmond. Con. Gist was killed at Franklin November 80th, and was suceecde by Col. Ellison. Capers. Probably tho hardest fighting c tho war was at Spottsylvania Com House May 12th, 1864, in Tho Blood AIIKIO. That battle lasted, withon interruption, for 18 hours, and ii Murfrecsboro, when tho fightiii] bogan on the last day of 1802, an lasted two days.

Tho bullotin for tho Federal De partment of Labor for July gives figures to show that there hua been a large decrease in tho consumption of intoxicating liquors by tho peoplo of this country. In 1880 tho con sumption of distilled spirits in tho United States was 2? gallons for ovory man, woman and child ; in 1890 it was less than one gallon. Such a ?ecreaso in thc uso of strong drink probably never occurred before among any people Thoro has also been a decroaso in tho uso of wino in this country. Thc per capita of consumption of wino in 1880 was .29 of a gallon, and in 189G it was .20 of a gallon. But while there has boon some decrease in thc uso of wino and a very groat decrease in tho uso of whiskey, brandy, gin and othor spirits, thc consumption of hoer has increased immensely. In 1890 no less than 1,170,870,448 gallons of beer wore used in this country. The beer used for medi cines, in cooking and for other pur poses except drinking, is compara tively very small. Tho great hull of thc beer consumed in 1890 wai drunk. Tho per capita consump tion of beor in 1880 was only 1.8f gallons. By 1890 it had increased to 15.10 gallons. In spite of this fact there ie good reason to believo that there has heoi a great growth of temperance amour, our peoplo during tho past eighteen years.

THE PRESIDENT S REPLY To Spain's Peace Proposa!--No Money Indemnity Demanded. lt Demands the Absolute Surrender of Porto Rico* and the Island* Adjacent to that Island and Cuba, to ?he Untied States, th? Absolute Independence o? Cuba and Coaling Stations in the Philippines and Ladrono Islands. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.-Tho Cabinot disouBBod tho Presi dent's answer to Spain's ponco proposal to-day and roaohod tho follow ing conclusion : Tho absolute surrender of Porto Rico to tho United ?Staion and tho cossion of sovoral small islands adjacent to Cuba and Porto Rico to tho Unitod States. Recognition of tho indopondenco of Cuba. Cession of ono of tho Ladrona Islands to tho Unitod States aa coaling stat ion and the cession to tho United Statos of at least a coal ing station in thc Philippines. Tho question undecided ?B, what disposition shall bo mndo of tho Philippine Islands as a whole. It oan bo stated that th oro is practically no difforouco of opinion in the Cabinot on tho quoation of tho roton tion of the Philippines Islands ns a wholo, all tho membors hoing op posed to our acquisition of theso islands. There has been no dociflion, howovor, ns yet on tho oxtont to which tho govornment will go in its v decision respecting the futuro of theso islands, but it is probablo that tho answor to tho Prosidont will oxpresatho willingness of thisgovorn mont to loavc thc matter of tho futuro government of tho Philippines ontiroly in tho hands of a joint commission to bo appointed by this govornment and tho govornmont of Spain, Tho probability is that tho United States will insist upon a guarantee of certain reforms in govornmont in tho Philippine Islands. Our answor will moko no mention of tho money indemnity. Noithor will thoro ho any armistice at all. Tho answor will bo in tho nature of an ultimatum, and if Spain does not ncoopt it BIIO will faro worso in thc future. The noto from Spain, it is said, was a vory adroit and equivocal dooumont, from reading which ono would think tho only question involved was Spain. Appnrontly Spain might not ronlly havo intended getting a direct answer from us, but only to opon diplomat ic correspondence. This govornmont will not have any such correspondono, but will mako a straightforward statement of its present poaco terms for Spain's nc ceptanco or rejection, naming conditions that uudor tho circumstances aro reasonable and oven generous.

Tho Spaniards ambushed eight companies of thc Sixth Massachusetts and Sixth Illinois regiments, but tho enemy was rcpusled and driven back a mile to a ridge, whoro tho Spanish cavalry charged and were routed by our infantry. Gen. Garrotson led tho fight with tho mon from Illinois and Mas sachusetts and tho enemy retreated to Yanco, leaving four dead on tho hold and several wounded. None of our mon woro killed and only three were slightly wounded. The Porto Ricans are glad the American troops have landod and say they aro all Americans and will join our army. The roads arc c(ood for military purposes. Our troop^aro healthy and Gen. Miles Bays tho campaign will be short and vigorous. Gen. Miles lias issued thc following proclamation : "In tho prosecution of tho war against tho Kingdom of ?Spain by the people of the United Statos, in tho cause of .liborty, justice and humanity, its military forces havo como to occupy tho Island of Porto Rico.

Walt finally squelched thom with tho remark : Whiskey has ono virtue It brings out a man's eharactor, and if ho's a fool it will show it to a dead moral nortainty." Tho Hquorite8 and cx-squattors gavo Govornor Ellerbo the gladhand and were oagor to hear him on tho dispensary quostion. Tho Governor doolarod he had boon ono of the first persons, to join the "llefann" moyo mont, but that ho had been eleoted Governor ns thc cxponont of j;oaoo and unity. "Thoro are," said ho, "a certain sot of politicians and a littlo sot of moroenary newspaper editors who aro political prostitutes, who have slandorod and abused mo bo cause they could not uso mo.

Oth ers chimed in with ejaculations of moro or loss relevancy, until Undo George told them they had bettor go baok to Uoko and sloop off thoir drunk. Somo of the crowd bogan to howl and spit lire, and Uncle Gcorgo thundorcd at thom : "This is the first time dispensary whiskey has bcon used at tho meetings in tho interest of tho political machine that is back ing one of tho candidates for Govor nor. Ho ought to terell you bettor manners or take you around and ex hibit you." Howling was redoubled, and Undo George doolarod this was an indication that from now on until tho 30th of August free dispensary liquor would flow from thc moun tains to tho sea to carry the elootion for ono of tho candidates. In my report of tho Chester moot ing yesterday in somo unaccountable way ono word was changed in Col. Tillman's speech, making him favor "prohibitivo" liconso, whon ho said "private" license. Whilo thin was a manifest error of the typos, tho tolo graph or the fast gliding pencil, yet Undo Gcorgo was emboldened to get up a man of straw, and declare that Tho Nows and Courior and the Stato "distorted" his remarks. Ile is hcro by assured that as a poaco offering thc "distorter" will bo oru.uHcd if he show his head, hands, foot or faoo again. Col. Sohumport nlso faced tho storm.

Ho prognosticated a littlo, saying that ho was going to bo Gov ernor, and that Ellerbo would not bo. At any rate ho could guarantoo that ho would sustain whoovor was eleoted bettor than tho drunken howlers would. Col. Watson nipped tho first howler in tho bud by offering him a silver dollar to shut up. Ho was very omphat'o in denying that ho had abused Ellorbo. What ho said was simple faot and truth. Ho thought it waB peculiar that Ellerbo did not go to Horry. If it had boon himsolf ho would havo gono thoro to assort his manhood if they hud ?mt him in tho river. Boing interrupted frequently, he said ho did not want tho votes of drunken howlers.
