The following appeal was then adopted and sent out by the Association : Women of South Carolina, there needs no urgent appeal to your sympathies in a cause so sacred as that which we now undertake. Thq great tide of adversity which has swept over our unhappy land has hitherto stifled effort in this direction ; but not therefore, have orrr hearts ceased to heat for the glorious dead. Scarcely is there one among us whose thought does not, on the first mention of our object turn at once, with loving affection, to some grave which this monument is intended to honor. Mothers, widows, sisters, daughters H'l? AL'A linoi-H' t It no nlittr* D. tlw, nr.1/1 iah' H iiuou fiiiiiio UIUD VIIII^ iu iiiu ou 11111" r r grave, let us then unite with an earnest loving effort in this holy duty. Let even our lisping little ones bo brought to givi their mite to its accomplishment, that thm impressed upon their minds, they may novel forget to love and honor the memory ol those who battled and fell in our cause. I: a lost cause, even, therefore the nioro holy Kven, therefore, does it become tho more incumbent upon us to bring to this grenl sacrifice ol pure purpose and heroic deci that homage and veneration which tin world pays only to success. With the wish that all who have sharec in a common sorrow may share also in lh< privilege of raising this testimonial to on lost heroes, the annual subscription fo membership is put at the lowest point prac tieahle; that thus it may he within the reacl of those who, having little to give, liavi still the right, through tears and suffering tojoinusin the fulfillment of this mus sacred duty. i- To all others?men as well as wome ^ oM aud young?to all who cherish the nan e of Carolinian nud cling with a fond love whatever is left tons of our "good old State P wc would say give to us freely according P your means ; givo generously, givo grat j fully to the memory of those who gave the lives for us. ^ The Association then when t? work mal iDg reasonable progress for some time. Tl following June Mrs. McCord, the Presiden I resigned her position and Mrs. John i Preston was elected to fill the position. A the cud of a year Mrs. Preston, too, rcsiguet (hiding the duties of the office too arduou for her strength. The Association the I resolved not to have a President, but I , commit the management of the affairs to t looai?BMUti*? board in Cohimbiurj^ji|yi by lidios throughout the State. L During this time the Association sufferc the Josa Qt ooc ol' its Board of Directors b the death of Mrs. Wo)- Wallace, and tw ' of their officers resigned on nccount ofthei i removal from Columbia?Mrs. J. L. ltej 1 nolds, Treasurer, and Mrs. John T. Darty Corresponding Secretory. Mrs. Wm. K. Bnohuwn and Mrs. J. J Bacon were elected to fill these offices ret pcctively. The present Board of Directors are thi i officers of the Association, and Mrs. C Macfic, Mrs. (1. Howe, Mrs. C Walker, Mri John McKonzic. Mrs. John Bacon, Mrs. ; Da'gan, Mrs. C. Beck, Mrs. B. Levy, Mri W. II. Oibbes, Miss LaBorde, Miss Wadi Mrs. S. Board, Mrs. It. O'Noale and Mrs .John Watties, i At length Radical rulo came upon th State, and in the dcspondeucy which fo ' a time settled upon the people, very littl could be done. In August, 1871. the Association though they had collected sufficient money tojustif theui in purchasing a sight on which t erect the monument, aud they bought th lot on Taylor's Hill overlooking Sidtic Park and the valley of the Conga rev. 1?\> this they paid the city of Columbia 86(M cash. A contract was made with Muldocn Walton & Co., of Louisville, Ky., to bnvi the monument made and erected. All th mem jers of this firm and all tlio architect and workmen cmoloved on the iimniimen belonged to the Southern anny. The gran itc for the foundation was given to the As social ion by'Judge John S. Green from hi ! quarry on the Congarcc near Columbia. After work had been commenced on Taj 1 lor's Hill it was found that there was a sul 1 stratum of quicksand below the soil of th hill which rendered it unfit for the purpos< the weight of the monument being too grot to be supported on a small area of uusouu land. Completely discouraged, the Hoar of Directors were now at a standstill, b< cause they had not only spent this larg sum of money uselessly, but th ;y coulJ no find another situation in Columbia whicl would answer their purpose. Under th condition of both the State and city govern ments they could not of course ask then for a place to put a monument to the Con federate dead. While they were in this condition o trouble, J)r. J. W. Parker, President of th Hoard of Directors of Klimvood Couicterj kindly came forward and offered theui tlx crest of the hill which crowns the entranc. i to the cemetery. Moving the foundatioi and laying it on this latter spot cost then the sum of S585. The marble portion of the inonumcu was made at Carrara, Italy, and it wa brought to Columbia in September, ISTfj | By the terms of the contract, Messrs. Mul doon, Walton & Co. were to be paid $5,001 when the base was put up, .and the who) price, $10,000, was to be paid when tin monument reached Columbia. But the As sociation not having raised that sum, the. merely received the boxes, insured the innti i umcnt for it? fail value, and had it careful ly stored away without opening it even fo i inspection till they could honestly claim i free from debt, though the contractors gen crously deducted $1,200 from the origina - price and offered to put up the monumcn 1 and wait till the Association could raise th money. Th? monument was stored in th , premises of Mr. Ilowie, to whom they hai i to pay $1.05 for storage. Tho insuranc cos', them $201. When the change fron , Radical to Democratic rule occurred in th i Stale government, the Association began t , hope that they might erect the monumcn i in the State House grounds, and at tho so* > sion of the Logislnturo for 1877-8, the * sent a petition to that body asking pcrmis r 1 uinn tA iln en rIM?!e who >"?

A large number of th - members moreover contributed one day' 1 pay to aid tbeni. In 1K78 the Legislator J passed an net appropriating 8(150 to hoi pay for the removal of the monument to th 1 State House grounds. Again many of th ) members contributed one day's pay. Sine r that time the work lias gone on rapid'y an r uninterruptedly, until now this bcaulifu - memorial stands complete and consecrate i to its holy purpose. It is a source of grei c gratification that there has never has nevt b'?en a drop of intoxicating liquor to aid i t paying for it, nor lias there even been rafile for that purpose by the . auction of tt n, Board of Directors. No means lias ever ao Loen used to raise money for it that the to most scrupulous church mau or religious person could object to.

A Now York correspondent says of the Toias* Legislature: "Tho clerk seemed to me to run the machine as he has a good deal to say at diffcrcnt times. One thing in particular amused! me ; he was calliug the roll, and not liking tlio' r way the members answered, or failed to answer as they lay back sprawling, with their feet on the desks, he cried out : 'You fellers better pay attention ; there won't be a quorum if you don't! look out."

I King's Mountain?1780?1880. It is time to be thinking about the centennial celebration of King's Mountain. This must be a national affair. The battle field is in South Carolina, and it becomes our Slate to take the initiative in this movement. We are sure that our sister State, North Carolina, will second the move, uud wc would suggest that Mecklenburg's celebration, on the 20th inst., would be a favorable opportunity for an expression of opinion. South Carolina is anxious for the celebration. Let us begiu in lime, so that wc may make the occasion worthy both of 17?SO and 1880. The descendants of Campbell, Cleveland, Shelby, Sevier, McDowell, Lacy, Hawthorn, Hill, ilambrite, Williams, Chronicle, Mattocks, Kohb, Iloyd, and many other brave men who stormed the mountain peak, will rally with rejoicingDn the 8th of October, 1880. ? A Marvi:i.oi's Escape.?At Cincinnati last Sunday a 4-ycar-olil boy, who was leaning out of the fourth story of a tenement house, lost his balauce and sturted whirling down toward tlio brick povenient, fifty feet below. On the porch of the third story, immediately below him, stood % little girl 10 years old, the daughter of one of the residents of that floor. She saw the boy :oming, and by an instinct or purposo, which unounted to heroism, put out her arm to try to inve the boy. She did catch him at the risk of being dragged over herself and of falling with* bim. Of course she could not hold such a weight but her arm was just strong enough to turn the course of his fall, so that he landed on her feet on the floor of the third porch. His head struck the baluster, and he had an ugly cut on his forehead and one eye was considerably injured, but his life was saved. The little girl's arm was lamed, tut not broken. She said she saw him. coming, and just thought she might save him if she would put out her arm, and sho did it. . Democrats Must Sta.yi> Firm.?The vacilat1ing policy of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, and of those Democrats in Congress who follow his lead is doing more to damage the cause of the Democracy than all the venomous opposition of the Radicals oombincd. T iat the Democrats in Congress are right in l>niivi|Mv, > niiimiiuu oy mo intelligence or tlie country, North ami South?admitted in truth by Mr. Hayes himself, as shown by his efforts to divert the publio mind from tho main question. That the Demoorats are right in parliamentary usage, to tack the rider (which is not only germane, hut eminently propor) to thf army hill, and force the President to repeal an unconstitutional enactment of a Radioal Congress is not even denied by honc9t Republicans. Is any Democrat fool enough to suppose, if the positions of the two parlies were revorsed, the Republicans would yield the advantage now held by the Domocrats? Any faltering in tho Democratic ranks gives hope to the aggressive Radicals that the majority will yield to their extraordinary demands. Any yielding to tho President's diotaction is a sacrifice of the rights of the people represented in Congress, and a virtual surrender of their rights at tho polls ia 1880. These rights cannot bo bartered away <ft compromised by the people's represeptutives without incalculable damage. Tbe Democrats in Congress hold in their hands tho power to force the restoration of Constitutional government, by lawful parliamentary means. So far they have acted discrostly, and their course is universally approved. The country is looking on with confidence in their courage and integrity.
