COLUMBIA, S. a --.---i--> i?usday Baratee, December 12,18?9 REDUCTION TNPKICE- CLUBBING.-Tho WEEKLY CLEANSE contains moro reading matter than soy other family paper pub? lished in the South-thirty-two long columns, printed in clear type. It is flH?d with original as well as selected matter-editorials, correspondence, gene " rsl news, markets, telegrams, interest? ing atonas, - gke?ohes, poetry, etc. Dar? in? tbe.early par* of the coming year its columna will bo graced by a highly entertaining nouvelletle, the production of a lady of this oity, and which bas been pronounced by disinterested critics as equal to the very best of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Orkney, or the Fortunes of Juliet Cly? burn-a tale of the Palmetto State," and will ran through about twenty numbers c* thc "GLEANKB." As we are d?sirons of introducing the paper-wbioh is in every sense a ,lhome companion"-into every family in the State, wo have de? termined to rednce the yearly subscrip? tion price, as follows-payable, in all cases, in advanoe: Singlo copy $2 75; tes copies, (to one post office,) $25.00; twenty copies $45.00; fifty oopies S100.

Address. orders to the PHCENIX and GLEANER Office, Columbia, S. C. Tine Altitude of Virginia^-Bemuty sud thc Bcsvkt. When Virginia adopted the conserva? tive role and thereby overoame extreme radicalism, we regarded her as stooping to conquer, and fonnd no occasion to unite in the oritioism whioh some jour? nals visited upon her. She has gone Tory far to seoure admission into the Union. She bas complied with all the exacting demands made npon her. She has gono before the President in tho at? titude of an humble suppliant, and craved the continuance of his kind protection. We thought this was enough. To bow her lofty head before Congressional and Executive power*-this was, we hoped, to fill the cup of her humiliation. But we were mistaken. Another and a greater humiliation was in reserve for the "Old Dominion"-"the mother of States and statesmen." This was to "bend the pregnant hinges of the knee" before B. F. Butler, the Chairman of the Recon? struction Committee of tho House of Representatives. The Bichmond Dis? patch contains a long and detailed ac? count of the visit of a committee of the Virginia Legislature to the President and then to General Butlor. This committee informed General Butler of the faithful manner in which the people of Virginia had complied with tho demands of Con? gress, and hoped that General Butlei would be satisfied, aud that Virginiu O, glorious consummation!-would bc forthwith admitted. But Gcueral B. was suspicious. Georgia had played him a trick. Tennessee had done tho same. Ho was uot to bo fooled again. He must havo a more distinct pledge. Promise, said he to the Committee, upon youi sacred honor, as Virgiuiagentlemen; dc clare before high Heaven, that yon won'l play ns a trick, and wo will let you in, Otherwise, wo will abut the golden dooi of tho Union right in your face. Th< Committee retired, complied with thc demands of General Butler, and wen assured that their State would bo ad milted. Grant told the Committee, ii effect, that ho hoped Virginia would be have herself well in the future. Butlei demanded pledges for her good behavior We do not know how tho people of Vir ginia will look upon the course of this Committee. But did such a Committee speak for South Carolina as this Com m?tico did for Virginia, we would de nounce their action, aud hang our beac in very shame. When we read this in torview between the Virginia Cominittc< and Butler, we thought of Virginia'i grand history and of Butler's ingloriom record. It was Beauty and the Beast Alas for Virginia! Tho Richmond papers it is said, aro playing a diplomatic gatne Heaven save us from diplomacy like this The Richmond papers teom whh appeal for material development. This is well But it will bo a ead day for Virginia whei she allows degenerate sons of hers to la; her history, her dignity, her honor, be pride upon the altar of tho "nlmight dollar." In the proceedings of tho Colored Lo bor Convention-which is being held i Washington City-Senator J. J. Wrighl of South Carolina, from the Committe on Railroads and Travel, reported i favor of recommending that a bureau b created, to whioh this matter, with other relating to the exclusion of colored pee pie from the cars, bo referred, aud thc a fuud bo created to prosecute any sue case of exclusion, under tho Civil Right bil), aud to test tho virtue of that bil Referred.

A friend of the Association writes thus: This Association, now under process of formation, ia one of the most inte? resting features of our city. It has for its object tho improvement of the spi? ritual, social, moral and intellectual con? dition of the yoong men of this city and ita vicinity. Its reading room, whioh is to contain not only the religious tracts and periodicals of the day, but also, the best scientific and professional journals, will offer to all a pleasant and profitable resort. At its regular meetings, which aro to consist of a short devotional exer? cise, reading an essay, romarks thereon, reports of committees, Sec., our young men will be brought together; goo 1 in? fluences thrown around them, and, enno? bling aspirations awakened and cherish? ed. Moreover, it is au organization do signed to extend the hand of kindness to the stranger as'he enters our cities. To put a young man in a position to help himself, by securiog for him a placo of honest industry, we consider the truest act of friendship. Many young mon, in coming to our city, have not the means to command a place where they are en? tirely comfortable, and for want of the comforts that are denied them, they are driven to haunts of dissipation, and stop by step, from one vice to another, until they are almost beyond reach of recla? mation. Such young men are a special object with the Association. It seeks thom out, introduces them to its privi? leges and throws around them its influ? ence. Who can place a limit to the amount of good that maybe accomplish? ed by such an organization properly conducted? We are glad to learu of the complete formation of one among us, and we extend to the young gentlemen ?ur warmest sympathies and best wishes for success. ??o doubt, the interesting 3xerci8es which they offer to tho corumu uit.y on Friday evoaing next, will bo very largely attended. ?-??-? - - St. Crispin.

The awl and the last eau boast of divines, philosophers, poets, linguists -in short, of great men in every field of honorable exertion. Let us meution a few of tho disciples of Crispin: Samuel Drew, A. M., a shoe-maker, bas been called tho English Plato; George Fox, tho fouuder of tho Society of Friends, was a shoe-maker, und it has been said that England and tho world aro, to this day, covered with the monuments of bis useful labors. Dr. Carey-who trans? lated tho New Testament into many of tho Eastern languages; Dr. Morrisou, the great Chinese scholar, aud Dr. Horne, tho author of tho Critical Intro? duction to the Study of tho Sacred Writ? ings, were shoe-makers. So, also, were Gifford, tho editor of the Quarterly, the accomplished scholar and critic, and Bloomfield, tho author of the celebrated poem, the "Farmer's Boy," of whom Henry Kirko White-auother humble. ohild of genius-not it shoe-maker, but tho sou of a butcher, thus wrote: "Bloomfield! thy happy-omened name [usures continuance to thy fame; Both eenso and truth this verdict give, While fields shall bloom, thy name shall live." Our owu aun?is, too, will furnish some illustrious names in vindication of the (pinion expressed by an Euglish author, "that tho shoe-makers' cruft seems to have been a noble craft for great minds."

My purpose is simply to ?'indicate tho craft against the aspersions )f Miss G., and not to urge that the ivhole world should become shoe-makers. There is also danger ina too earnest iud too eloquent advocacy, and I am ex lorted to forbearance by a remark of Sir Philip Sidney, that there was a rid ug-tn aster at Vienna, who expatiated so iloquently on tho qualitios of the noble iniinul ho bad to deal with, that he was il most persuaded to wish himself a horse, lieigh Hunt says that, at ouo time, tho )oople of London were so transported >y the sweet little song, "I'd be n Bitter? ly," that every body wanted to bo a '.Butterfly born in a bower."

Duffy & Chapman, my atteution ?vas nttraoted by a book with tho above title. A perusal of this volume hos given ns so much pleasure that we desire others to participate in our enjoyment. This book, of some tiOO pages, contains jketcb.es of near 300 Southeru authors, with specimens of rhoir writings. It is replete with items of history, and espe stally of the late war. To have the "Conquered Banner," tho "Jacket of Gray," and such pieces, in a pormancut Form, is of itself sutlicient to repay the cost of the book. J. Wood Davidson, tho author, has displayed great good taste and powers of criticism in this work, which must huvo cost him much labor. A perusal of this book tends to tuako one proud of the South, anil espe? cially of our own State. CRITIC. ?? .* ? ? THE DIFFICULTY, IN ETXIRFIEXD.-It appears that tho statement, published yesterday, from tho Augusta Chronicle, relative to a difficulty in Edgcfield, on Weduesduy last, was highly exaggerated. Tho same paper, of the next day, con? tains the following correct version of the affair, which is corroborated by persons who have arrived in Columbia from the scene of tho disturbance: "It appears that on Wednesday morn? ing, between ll and 12 o'clock, two men, both intoxicated, got into a quarrel in tho villago (not iu thc circus,) und proceeding from words, one of them, uuiaed William Murre], shot nt his antagonist, James Ramsay, twice with a revolver. The first shot missed, but tho nenond took effect iu the left lung, in? flicting a serious wound. Thc man who was shot was a radical, and tho sou of the radical Clerk of tho Court for that County. .'When the afternoon performance of tho circus was nearly over, a difficulty secured under the canvass botween two mon, Frank Warren and Elijah Watson, in which the former struck tho latter river tho head with bis own pistol, knocking bim dowu, but inflicting no nerioiis injury. "On Wednesday night, tho uegro militia at Edgefield Court House, ar? rested a white man named Richard Cole mau and put bim in jail. No ono kuew what tho offence was charged against bim, but it is supposed that bo was ar? rested on suspicion of being a rebel bushwhacker. Ho was kept in jail all night, but released on Thursday rnorn ug." -1 ^ ? ? Tho Bridgeport (Coun.) Farmer-a Republican journal-comments as fol ows on tho letter of Parker Pillsbury in tho conditiou of tho negroes in this State: "The whole document is devoted to he exposure of the mighty evils which lave grown out of tho reconstruction ichemes of Congress and tho false, icaudalous and pernicious doctrines and ihameful practices of tho Republican jarty. Tho negro ho admits to be de? graded to below tho lovel of a bruto, but o bim, in the light of tho example set jeforo them by his own party frieuds, it seems absolutely complimontury that ,hey have dono no worse.' Such con essious, from such a source, would be incouraging did they not give rise to the ear that tho evils set on foot by radical mbecility and wickedness aro abso? ut ely irreparable."

They claim damages under the Civil Rights Bill. One of the oity teams was employed in removing earth from an embankment, bolow the jail, on Friday, when the eur tb caved in-killing the mulo and smashing tbo cart. The driver was uninjured. We rogret to announce that a letter was received in this city, yesterday, stating that John Harrison, (or Jack, as he was familiarly termed,) formerly a resident of Columbia, but a native of Rochdale, Lancashire, England, died iu Cienfuegos, Cuba, on the 6th nit. His ago was forty-one years. It is with great pleasure we learn that the eminent minister of tho M. E. Church South-Bishop H. H. Kavanagh-is in our city, and will preach this morning, in the Washington Street Chapel, and to? night at tbo Marion Street Church. On Thursday evening last, a colored man called at the residence of Mr. John Junes, und finding Mr. Janes absent, in? terrogated Mrs. J. with regard to a rob? bery that had beeu oommitted iu tho samo house about a year ngo. He pro? duced u knife and somo small articles, which she immediately recognized, and inquired whero he got them; which ho refused to tell.

Tn PROPOSED EXTENSION OP THE Ozrx Lrarre.-We laid before oar read era ia yesterday's isebe, ? b*U intro duoqd ic the legislature. , by one of tba members from this Cono ty-S. B. Thompson-?od reported favorably upon by the Committee on Incorpora? tions. It is entitled a "Bill to alter and amend the Charter and extend the limits of the City of Colombia." By this bill, it is first proposed to extend the limits of the oity of Colombia about two squares to the North and East. That this will be of any advantage either to tho city or the inhabitants of the section proposed to be added, few interested in its welfaro wonld say. It must bo remembered that in making such additions, it is not solely increasing the revenues of the citj-, by increased area subject to municipal taxa? tion, but also, the expenses of tho city must be largely increased, to do ita duty fairly to its proposed new inhabitants. It is simply putting an additional burden on a city, which bas found it difficult to sustain thc present oxpeuso of ita government and its credit; and that, too, nndor tho guise of a benefit. We believe that it was an old rule with the Legislature, and which probably existe now, that three mouthy' notico should be given of nil amendments, so entitled, of this kind. Yet, in this case, tho first notice that tho citizons and tax-poyert hnvo bad, is the bill that wo have pub? lished. But when we rend further in thc bill, we easily perceive wbnt is tho real end proposed. Under the law of thit present Legislature, (see Statutes ol 18G8, extra session, page-,) the prc sent Mayor and Aldermen wcro elected for tho balance of tho unexpired terni, and ono full teem thereafter. They have been elected (thc fairness of which electior is undisputed) a little more than a year, and their term of office will not expire for about two years. And yet this bill, in fuco of tho law of this same Legisla turo and in plain violation of the vestec rights-vested nnder their own laws-ol the present Council, propose a new dec tion next February; and wo cnn fairlj presume, if the result of that election bc not satisfactory to tho movers in thu matter, nil that they will hnvo to do ane will do, is to order, then, another elec tion. This is "camping outside of tin State Constitution," with a vengeance We hope that tho Legislature will no throw, by this act of special and rincon stilutionul legislation, such a fire-braue to the peace, order and common sense o justice of tho citizens of Columbia amongst us. Will tho Legislature wisl to prove to us, that not only aro wo liv iug under laws, in the making of whicl wo have bad but little ngcucy, but tba we are not living under any law at all Will they, by this act, plainly sn}' to th citizens of this city and the State, thu they find it necessary and expedient t do away with their own laws and th rights created by them, and full back o the old rule "Let those take who have the power, And lot those keep who can?" Such a precedent established, might, i the course of time, provo a two-edge weapon, and cut in a way not desired b those who aro pressing it; unless, indeec they propose to set aside all right an law, and "make bay whilst the su shines," ami "after them, the deluge." Tuc STATE COXSTAIJULAKY.-Wo bi lieve it is Beverly Nash, the colored Si uator from Richland, who introduce the bill to "protect from arrest tho o ficers of the State Police, for any allege offence committed by them in tho di charge of their duties." Tho followin are Sections 1 and 2 of this outraged bill, upon which comments are unie cessary : "SECTION 1. That any member of tl 'Stato Police' shall bo free from nrrei upon any warrant or process that ms bo issued against him, upon any con plaint or iuformation for any allege offence committed by him in tho di charge of tho duties of bis office.

McCrady & Son, and Pope & Haskell for plaintiff; and Campbell Sc Seabrook for defendants. The testimony and argument had been heard on yesterday. Tho Judge oharged tho jury, that, if the jury were satisfied that the notes on which sait was brought were given for value received, or as ac? commodation paper, then the plaintiff, who waa eudorser, had a right to recover, though the notes were past duo when he received them, and though he was aware of the faots at timo of parchase, that the notes wero accommodation paper. The jury retired, and after being ont about an hour, they requested leave to return into Court, os they could not agrco. Upon their return into Court, the Judge, in a summary way, re-stated the fnots and the law, and added to what he had said in his first charge, that, as tho foot was admitted by the defendant, that thc notes wore given as accommoda? tion paper, the defendant was in law liable, if even the jury should come to the conclusion that the notes were not for valuablu consideration, as had been sworn to by the plaintiff and a disinte? rested aud unimpeached witness. He said to tho jury the responsibility was with him, and if his opinion was errone? ous, no injury could result to the de? fendant, as on a writ of error, his opin? ion could be set aside by the Supreme Court. Tho bailiffs were then duly sworn to take charge of tho jury, when the jury nguiu retired to their room at 5 o'clock. In the matter of the examination of applicants to practice in this Court, it is ordered that upon petition filed, all ap I plicants be examined on Tnesday morn? ing next, at 10 o'olock, in open Court, and that the following gentlemen be ap? pointed an examining committee, viz: Messrs.

This elegant preparation is the only true remedy yet discovered for re? moving every disease and symptoms of disease, which may be traced to bad blood. It is truly a sovereign remedy, and thousands will attest the truth.

In this country, how many suffer from year to year, taking a little blue pill to poison the system now and then, but going on puying no atten? tion to tho disease, until they don't know what it is to bo well, becoming a burden to themselves and a trouble to all around them.

Although the eruption is not so violent now, tho volcano is a fearful sight to behold. The rivers of lava still flow, and the smoke from the crater ascends in awful majesty. During this volcanic upheaval it has been vary sickly here. A peculiar sort of low ma? larious fever, which has grown ont of the foul, condensed vapors of tho volcano, has prevailed to an alarming extent, and at one time it was feared it would depo? pulate the island.
