SAVANNAI[, August 30.--The steam. ship City of Birmingham, of the Ocean Steamship Company, two days over due, arrived at Savannah at 7 p. m., bringing a portion of the passengers and crew of the steamship City of. Sa vannah, wrecked Monday inorning on tle shoals six miles from St. llelena lighthouse, S. C., at 5 o'clock. The ol. lowing is the list of the passengers of the City of Savannah: ). A. Hooker, Mary S.,looker, E. P. Hooker, V. M. Cornell, hr. G. W. Laimnar, Mrs. G. W. Lamar, Helen A. Norman, EdIward 13iron, Mrs. C. Cooper, Mrs. Ellen Wade, E. A. Todd, Nathan Darrows, Mrs. Darrows, .. Al. Donald, John Nor man, Annie Love, George )orlow, John W. Armstrong and John Wade. The City of Savannah left Boston Thursday afternoon. She met one storm after another, there being three storms in all. Sunday's s'orm was the worst. The steamer beat abolit all (lay Sunday, when the steam whistle was knockedMI and the water began pour ing into her hold and threatened to stop her engines. Seeing that the ship could last but a hew hours longer, Capt. Savage headed her for shoal water. The strokers were plied with stimu lants and food, anti every effort was made to reach shoal water hefore the vessel sank. All night long the vessel ran in the storm, the passengers ex pecting de-th every inuinte. Early Monday morning the steamer was heard bumping and scraping against the bottom, and the passengers knew they had reached shoal water. The vessel was run as far aground as possiblt. She could not be gotten into an easy place, however. The huge waves broke over her with increasing force, and beat the boat to pieces. The cabins were smashed in and carried away, first on one side and then on the other. Capt. Savage and the otlicers and crew used every effort to prevent loss of life among the passengers, and, won derful as it may appear, they were suc cessful. Not a life was lost froin aboard the ship. The passengers were moved about fron one si(e to the other, to whatever portion of the shit p the waves seemed to beat with less force. No signs of a rescue appearing, and the boat being undoubtedly doomed, Capt. Savage took steps to save his passengers. On Monday af ternoon, a small boat, with three sail ors,who volunteered from the crew, was sent out to finld a place on tihe shore where the hoats could land. They didI not returR, and it is not known whether they reached the shore or not. Tuesday morning the 1,wo lifeboats, the only two left, were manned, the first oflicer being in command of one and the second offlicer of the other. Four of the strongest sailors of the crew were picked for each boat. Tie boats were filled with the women and children, about lifteen in all, including the stewardess and female employees of the Savannah. Dr. G. W. Lamar and another ptssenger, being youtg an(j able bodied men, were called upon to go into the boats, which they did. Dr. Lamar's wife and two litt le chil dren were in hi: boat. Tie boats set sail for the sliore and sailed out of sight of those on boa d. They have been hear(d from. They arrived at Cof lin Point, St. 1le.ena Island, where they are at present. They are well cared for by a gentleman, who has a residenee at that place. It Is Senmator D onm Camer on's place. Tlhose who remnained Ott the Savannah wvere rescued by the City of Ilirminighamn. The story of the res cute Is as follows: 'Tho City of ilirmningt am loft New York Saturday, August 21. 'The voy age was pleasant until Cape hlatteras was reached.

They had been there since Sunclay night. Night was then upon us, and it was impossible to attempt to rescue the unforttnates un til daylight. The Birmingham was anchored, and on Wednesday morning, boats in charge of First Offlicer Johnson and Second Officer Hamilton reached the ship, and the rescue of those on board was af fected with safety. It was a brave act to reach the ship with the breakers around and about her, but Oflicers Johnson and IIamilton didl this, with their sturdy crews, and brought from the Savannah the passengers and crew that were hanging about her, r threatened with death and from whose breasts all hope had departed, into life 1 and safety. The Birmingham was r then headed for Savannah. Everything possible was done for the rescued ones by the passengers and crew of the Birmingham. The passen- i 4ers of the wrecked steamer who were I seen at the ship, spoke in the highest Lerms of Capt. Savage of the Savannah. ( Also of Capt. Berg of the Birmingham. t t'o the bravery of the two brave men 1hey sAid they owed their lives. The wrecked passengers of the Savannah C lost everything, some being without t ats and coats. They were provided t [or by Agent Anderson of the Ocean , Steamship Company. t The City of Savannah was the oldest I ihip of the Ocean Steamship Iteet. She was built in Chester Pa.. in 1877, by I John Roach & Sons. She was of 2029 9 ?ross tons and 1358 net tons. Her en 4ines were compound and were built in 1877.

TILE STATE COLLEGE. I C A ADDRESS TO T HE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. It t In Outline of the Work of the livititu- t tion in the Pn1jt-Its Present Condition C and Orpanization--llan for tho Fu- s ture. At a meeting of the Alumni of the c outh Carolina College, held at the lapital on May 21st last, the following esolution was adopted: t Resolved, That a committee of five e appointed 'by the chairman of the ieeting to communicate with the C Llumni of the South Carolina College a every County of the State, calling pon them to organize associations 1 each County of the State to be nown as the "South Carolina College I liumni Association of ....... ........ lounty," for the purpose of advancing t he best interests of the bouth Carolina t ,ollege. 2. That the co,nmittee be also re- c tested to prepare and issue an address o the people of the State, calling upon hem to rally to the support of the outh Carolina College, and to give it ( he encouragement and support it so Ichly deserves. 3. That the committee shall formu Rte a plan for securing beneflciary cholarships to the College from everv ,ounty in the State, this committee to eport at the June meeting of the As ociation. Agreeably to resolution No. 2. the ommittee of live have the honor to ad- r lress themselves to the people of the .s vhole State In behalf of the South t arolina College. The committee deemi It unnecessary a o rehearse the history of the Colleger ir to make a display of its rich fruitage a the infhitences it has organized and 1 lie manbood it has trained. This ap- t ears in striking colors in Lallorde's I 'ages, as well as in the annals of the a 'om1monwealth. Founded in 1801 by Legislative act, 9 n the ground that the establishment I f a College in the central part of the a !tate where all its youth may be edu- I ated, wouid highly promote the in truction, the good orler, and the har- t nony of the whole community, it has t iobly fulfilled its high mission. ;ays the historian of the College: "llas the College accomplished the rreat end for which it was established? 1 ilas it done its work in educating the )eople of Carolina? There can be but me response to these questions. Ev try part of the State, ati the upcoun ry particularly, has derived froni it an umount of benelit which cannot. be es- 1 imated by dollars and cents. If it be -ue, as I think it, is, that South Coro ina has rivaled her most favored sis lers in virtue, intelligence, and public ipirit, much of it is due to her College. If her Governors, her Senators and "epresentatives in Congress, and her Judiciary, have shed a bright lustre upon her name, the College will point to the larger number of them as hav ing been trained in her walls, and hereby fitted for their high positions." Assuming, now, as we have every 4 ight1to assume, that this time-hornored ntitution has done its whole duty to I ;outh Carolina in its past of ninety- I wo years, the committee submit that, n the record of it.s achievements, the e .ollege furnishes a strong argument in I avor of its present support, and stip >lies the grounds of the appeal. But, fortunately for the South Caro ina College, it need not rest its case tpon its past laurels-upon the enno ling part it has played in the history t I the State. i While adverting to these memories tid treasuring tihem as a grand herit ge, your committee prefer to base the I laims of the College for popular suip-. 'ort upon its present advantages as a chool of education and training, and pen the peculiar conditions that now onfront us in the Stat.e. Your committ.ee point to the thor tigh pp'ointmlents of the College for its eeds as a State College; to it.s accoin lishied corps of P'rofessors; its exten-t ive apparatus tor teaching; its amplet ibrary; its commodious b)uildings; its eaithy locality; its central position in lie State-the peer in these respects of ny other College In the country. Your committee further p)oinit to the I pecial adlvantage offered by the Col uge to those studlents seeking er !/' n' rei/ <!!'-ttfiun as dlistinguishedl from spwviil usrteiou --seeking a symmetrical I oental and moral training as dlistingu shed from technical learing. Challenging the cliims of rno other I natitutions of learnin g in t he St ate-- I er D)enominational --the Sout h Carolina I sollege addresses it self to the whlole!< oiomionwealthi as a central instit.utioni I -non-political, nion-sectarian, utterly ~ ivestedl o1 all class restrictions, and(< dlornied by benellcemnt pirovisions for he poor. llut your commit,tee have reservedl I or the last what they dleem the strong at argument in behalf of the duit.y of I lhe citizenshi p of South Carolina to ral v to t,he support, of the State College at hie Capital.

May the old 'ollege still have the fostering care of 11 South Carolinians, and may the pa riotism of our people prompt them ot to turn their backs upon their aother State by patronizing 'Jolleges f other States, when the mueans of an mple liberal education are alforded at ome. In conclusion, the committee, iti the ischarge of their further duty in the remises, call ipon the Altimni of the ,ollege, in every County in the State, o organize Alumni Associations, to he end that they may advance the est interests of the College, and to reate a fund for the benefit of such mbitious iad aspiring young men as iay need the help of Ienellciary Schol rships to obtain the advantage of the ,ollege course. .J NO. 1'.

WAsIiN(ITON, Allg. 311.-The Com 'lssioner of I'atients renderied a deci ion to-day in the matter of the appeal i) him of the ;tate of South Carolina row the refusal of the examiner to re ister a trade mark apphi#-d for in the awe of the State, consisting of the vord "Palietto" to be printed on its iuor labels, together with the arms oi he State aid the name of the li<puor. t was stated to be t he intention 01 the tate ollicers of Soith Carolina to enter iarket. oitside of the State and out ide the Union as a vetnier of li(viors or prolit and that the authorities hiad old a case of li<luors hearing the trade utark in Canada.

The Commis ioner, after reviewing the monopolit s njoyed by France and lIelgium, holds hat, a State of tho American I 'nionl, iaving all the powers of an indelien lent sove"eign State, except those sur rendered to the Federal governient, ias the inherent right as a State to migage in trade, domestic or foreign, Lit, the Commissionar also hold that a lawful trade in li<lours outsidle the States must be estalishied in some el fectual mnanner before the State can be ,ome the owner of a trade mark which would be entitled to registration in its laine in the patent office under the law >f 188l. He construes the South Carolina iquor Act as a nasure for the sup. iression of the liqnor tralle ii Soun 1h 'arolina by private individuals and to ubstitute therefor its complete control y the State through local public I)is >ensers, and holds that only by strained onstruction could any phrases in the ket he held to look to H ie est aldish nent of an outside tralic of any kii(l, xcepting in the purchase of the liquors o be (ispensed; that there was not hiig n the general or special object s of I lie tatite to show that the State iiteided 0 descend to the e of a train g cIr loration outSidel its own Ilianits.
