Again within tho period of eight months thc proprietor ol' ?he PKOZSIX Ands it nocosjwry, owing to the pressure of ad? vertisements, to onlargo his journal. He desires further by this enlargement to commend it to his readers, and hopeB in this way to extend the area of its in? fluence, and to augment the list of hie subscribers. Our readers will remember under what disadvantageous circum? stances we began the publication of our paper. From the ashes of Columbia our paper literally arose, and now that oar city is recovering ita former beauty and prosperity, it ia meet that the PKOKIX should grow- with it-catch something of its progressive spirit, and enjoy a share, at least, of its returning fortunes. It was the journal of Colum? bia when Columbia waa in "sack-cloth and ashes." It shall be tbe journal of Columbia iu the days of her new life. AU that we ask of our friends is a fair and liberal support. Let them sustain us a? wo sustain them and their interests. Let them strengthen our hands, and we shall be in a condition atill further to improve our paper. Our purpose in to give at the capital a paper that shall be a Atting exponent nud advocate of the substantial interests of tho State. It is unnecessary for us to define our POLITICS. Tho daily utterances of our paper pro? claim what these ar?. Esteeming poli? tics to he the great means whereby the prosperity of States is secured, we phall continue to sustain such measures and to advocate such a policy us ahall re? dound to the welfare of thu State and the enduring good of her people. As a paper, too, embracing tho new? of the day and meeting the tastes and wants of the family circle, wo shall endeavor to make it no less acceptable than ns a me? dium of political refleotious. The Pnotiix and our wcokly-the G LEA NEK-ore devoted to politics, news, literature and general intelligence, and it will he our earnest aim to impress these features upon them, so as to com? mend them alike to tho advertiser and the general reader. The new year opens upon us this morning, and at preaent the indications are that it will open ^auspiciously HS it respeotR the influences of nature. We accept the omen. The PHOENIX, in the genial sun-light, spreads its wings, fixes its eyes upon "the shadowy future" with j unfaltering trout, and thus essays for 1870 a more vigorous effort and a bolder flight. Let our friends see to it that they keep the pinions of the bird lubri? cated with the oil of their g?nerons sup? port. CRUMBS.-Mr. John H. Oxley, a tra gedian, who had acquired considerable celebrity, nnd waa well known in this community twenty years ago. died in New York, on the 26th. New Year's Day is to be kept up in Columbia-consequently the publication of the PHOKNIX will be suspended for one day. It will appear again on Tuesday morning. Charitable work does not reqnire a large fortune for its support. Every mun, no matter how humble his po jitiou, can do a great deal in relieving the sufferings of his neighbor. An illustra? tion of this principle is given by the recent notice of a Nottingham stocking weaver who, although he had a large family, nine sons and a daughter to bring up, took in and trained with his ehildren at different times no leus than eighteen oipbans. Andrew Lee, Esq., has presented us with the carcass of a white squirrel, as a companion to tho white hawk or eagle, referred to in our last.
