We maj be pardoned, then, we trust, upon our anniversary, for devoting a ''poi??n of our space to "our enter pris Jttnough it be no longer an infant one. "Tn responso to a publio need? and ere the embers amid the crumbling afad unsightly ruins of our once beautiful city might well be said to have grown cold, the PHOENIX sprang into existence. The oi ty waa burned on the 17 th of Fe? bruary, 1865; on the . 21st of March thereafter, we made our first appearance. Con side ring the, condition o? the coun? try at the time, the general prostration of business of. every kind, and the wholesale rain that stared us in the fsoe, it required no little nerve to Iaunoh ont so suddenly into the sea of journalism, that is filled with the wrecks of many a oanny craft, commencing their voyage ander the encouragement of the most inviting winds and weather. Our promptness and enterprise met with signal favor. Comparatively weak at first, we have grown in strength with time, and what was once a doubtful ven? ture, we may now, with truth and with pride, pronounce an assured succ?s*. Not onoe, through this lengthy period of seven years, have we failed to furnish our subscribers with our morning issue -which is no Bmall feather in the oap of an inland daily paper, at least. Year by your, as postal arrangements have been improvod and our enterprise grown itt favor and the publio confidence, our subscription hst has increased, and our circulation extended into every nook and oorner of the State. As our circu? lation, so has our advertising patronage, as is always the case, been increased. Advertisers, like all other people, de? mand simply a quid pro quo. Our largo circulation and liberal terms satisfy that demand. The probationary period, the first years of struggle for existence to which all newspaper enterprises are subjected, with us is passed successfully-passed years since-and we feel justly gratified to know that wo are no longer on trial, nor considered so. While, however, freed from tho hankering anxieties that attend the infancy of newspapers, as of natural life, wa Bhall not allow our confi? dence to abate oar energy; but, con? scious that merit will command addi? tional rewards, we shall earnestly endea? vor always to make our columns a pleas? ing medium of information upon all the industrial and political topics of the day. We ahall, furthermore, grant prece? dence to none ju an honest and patriotic endeavor to subserve in our politioal coarse the true interests of our common State and country, with respect to all colors and conditions of our people. True patriotism, in our judgment, be? gins at home. Like the oironlar wave that the casting of a pebble npon a placid lake causes, patriotism, with its germ at our own fire-sides, widens and extends the circle offits duties, till it em? braces neighbors, County, section, State, country, and finally the universal brotherhood of man. Thus we deem our first duty, as between South Carolina and the General Government, as due the State in whioh we live and to whioh we are the more nearly connected. To her redemption and welfare we shall first direct onr efforts, content to lay aside our political preferences whioh regard simply national issues, if we can (hereby secure a more healthful governmental atmosphere in South Carolina. ? ? ? ? ONE EXPLOIT OF SHERMAN'S BUMMERS. A Kansas exchange has seen a Bible with the following inscription, in which one .James L. Brown, whoever ho may be, has seen fit to ohronicle his own con ?^temptible oonduot upon a certain notable T ^^Qaaion : "This Bible was taken from a frn<^vn&ion belonging to a widow lady in Oif^?>,nrg Tjjgtrio^ South Carolina, on Mona^Jj-gbru^y 13, 1865, the time that Gen.

M. sor? row fully' a?know-|edgGQ ?nj all. ?How are wo to.be rid pf it? , As a contempo? rary puts' it-how arewre to be saved? how.is he State to be resauod from the olntohes of the vultures that are rave? nously feeding upon her prostrate and apparently lifeless body? It can only be dons by a concert of aotion between the houoet elemente of both races and political parties, against the unprinci? pled, vagabonds Who now control the government. The question next .follows, how eau this oonoert of aotion be brought about? We failed, in 1870, In our judgment, from the fact that the misdeeds of oar rulers were not so foal, so numerous, nor so patent, bat what they could, in a great, measure, be hidden from the inex? perienced eye of the colored people. They made plausible promises of re? form, too, within their own ranks, which the credulous populaos believed to be sincere. What there' were, too, of ho? nest and intelligent Eepnblioans pre? ferred to risk the harm lo the State ra? ther than the ruin of their party,, which they oouooived would follow from the sncoess of the reform party, supported almost entirely by tho old wbite Demo? cracy. We did wrong in taking the ini? tiative upon ourselves, and identifying thu movement so entirely with the white people of the State, and particularly with their old Democratic leaders. We should now profit by our experience. There is no oonoealing, now, the glar? ing fraud?* which individuals, calling themselves Republicans, have perpe? trated npon a people that blindly trusted them. They have shown their promises of reform to be a bare-faced lie. Tho honest men of the party are disgusted with the management of our State affairs, and they do not hesitate to say so. We will ?How them this time to make the first step. Let them make the fight with their party, and we will givo them our support at the polls. We-the white people of South Carolina-can aot us a balanoo of power, and thus eleot tho best of the Republicans to. office. If we a&n piuco the State in the hands of honest Republicano, what more need good citizens care for; and if, in all cases, we cannot be satisfied in this re? spect, we will ask of our colored citizens their suffrages for ouch a representation of oar race as is fair and just. Lot our yoong men, too, oomo forward iu the arena. They, ns a rale, are ripe for thc occasion. They are men of the pre? sent-fully conscious and deeply im? pressed with the living issues that are now apon us. Their minds are stamped in the mould of oar new life, and are free from tho*crotchets and bent of a day that is gone. With all love and reverence for their justly honorod sires, let them, however, step to tira van and shoulder the respon? sibilities of the hoar. We differ with our cotomporary as to the "fallucioat Bpi rit of Orr, Melton, Dudley," ko. W< can't stomach the dose, ead go with them to tho Republican party, but we dc not regret that they have lens sensitive olfactories. Doubtless, a hope of po litical preferment was the primo motive of their defection; bat they aro in aeon dition now to be of service to the State, and we trust they will. We oaa't be Heve that a man loses his honesty like his shirt. These men have bsen true ir the past; we believe they will continue so. We would bo rejoiced, at least, tc see snob at the head of our State Go vernment, and exercising a controlling influence in the Legislature.

A correspondent of the London Twines bas had sn interview with the Count do Chambord, at Autwerp, and relates the conversation for the benefit of the pub? lic The Count does not contemplate returniug to France in his present posi? tion. He oannot always live there tn cognito, neither can he live lhere as a private citizen. He represents himself as . being in favor of a representative monarchy, and uni vernal suffrage, as dis? tinguished from "universal chalice," which at present very frequently control? the choice of electors. He stigmatizes as calumnious the assortions of his oppo? nents that ho desires to re establish spe? cial feudal rights, reconstitute easton, aud restore to the olergy its ancient powers and wealth. He aspires to be the monarch of the entire nation, notwith? standing say of its prerogatives, and re? specting liberty of conscience and of creeds. Io reference to restoring the Pope to his temporal power, the Count merely said that the Holy Father knows that he must rely upon One who is more powerful than earthly kiugs. In conclu? sion, ho stated that he hud, for tho pre? sent, abandoned the intention of pro? ducing another manifesto. It appears to him that it would be useless- to write again now; but whon the proper moment arrives he will speak, and explain him? self in a mauser that will dispel all doubts aa to his position and intentions. ORPHAN HOME OF SOUTH CAROLINA REQUISITES Fon ADMISSION.-1. Without any eeo tarit, u distinction whatever, and without favor or partiality, thu orphans are to be received. 2. Three things only are requisite: A. The children must bo the offspring of lawful wedlock. P>. Should be be? reaved of both parents by death. G. Should be in needy circumstances. Orphans of the above elans are to be received from any section of the State, no matter to what religious denomina? tion their parents may bave belonged, or with whatever religions body the person making application may be connected; and moreover, orphans of irreligious parentage are to be received upon the same terms. The Orphan Home is to be established in the interest of humanity, aud its object will be physioal, montai aud moral development of the children. While we do not expect to open tho institution before October, still applica? tions for admission may DOW be sent to the agent. N. B.-In answer to inquiries concern? ing the orphan children of Masons and Odd Fellows, I desire to say that they will have an equal chance fer admission with others. Address R. O. OLIVER, Agent Orphan Home, Spartanburg C. H., S. C. The London Spectator attempts to ac? count for the horror-greater than the horror of death-with whioh peoplo ro gurd the possible destruction of the earth, as predioted for next August, in the re? port recently published in the Swiss Times, of Geneva. The principal cause of this horror, it thinks, ie the "abrupt insignificance to which so much of our past live)" would be reduced by such a "simultaneous evaporation." Most men "look upon death," it says, "with a certain souse of personal dignity, as ono of the solemn acts of life which deserves a little attention and respectful defer? ence from those around-of which they would be defrauded if they woro to share in a uuiversal and momentary death." It is pleasant to bo assured that tho anticipated comet is a fiction, aud that Professor Plan tumour, to whom tho prediction was ascribed, not only denies that ho evor made it, but does not "profess comets" at all, those att\m uated astronomical phenomena not com? ing witnin his special department. The Princess Strozzi, who gave one of tho graudest fancy bulls of the carnival ut Florence, received her guests in a dress-the actual dress of Louisa Strozzi -so heavy with jewels and gold damask that, UH soon as her guests had all ar? rived, she changed it for a lighter cos? tume, which, could enable her to move with something liko ease. Several of the ladies present woro dressed in his? torical costumes, and in the name laoo and jewels as their ancestors; others faithfully copied the historical pictures iu their galleries. \ A now tole?

'o very fam ons by a would-be heir, il in lainrshiro, and th ero is a very ourioi s story aboot a custom of alms gi vin) which' or? va i icd there. Wheo Indy Mabollo/, wife of Sift Roget de Tiohb orne, knight in the ti nie of Hen ry lit was lying on her death bed, ehe be? sought ber loving husband, as ber last request, that he would grant ber tho means of leaving behind her a charitable bequest in a dole of broad, to be dis? tributed to all who Bhohld apply for H ano nally on the Feast of the Annuncia? tion of -the, Blessed Virgin Mary. Sir Roger, ber buKband, readily acceded to her request by promising the produce of as much land as she could go over in tho vicinity of tho- park, whiles certain brand or billot Was burning, supposing th.it, from her long infirmity-for she had been bed-ridden 1 some years-sha would be able to go round a small portion only of his property. The venerable durne, however, ordered her attendants to convey her to tho corner of the park, where, being deposited on tho ground, she seemed to receive, a renovation of strength, aud, to the sar ' ~ise of her anxious and admiring lord, . ho began to wonder where this pilgri age might end, she crawled around several rich and goodly acres. The field which was the soooe of Mabelle's extra? ordinary fest retains the name of "Crawls" to thia day. It is situated near the entrance of tho park, and con? tains an area of twenty-three acres. Her tank completed, sho was coaveyed back to her chamber, where abe pre? dicted prosperity to the hons? BO long as the animal dole existed, and the loss of tho family name when it censed. Then ?he died.

PEN IN GERMANY.-That most railway accidents, and especially those which are the result of collision, can be avoid? ed by proper care aud foresight, is un? deniable. This ia shown by the compa? rative exemption from accident whioh some railroads in Germany, conduoted on proper principles, enjoy. It is said that in Germany an aooident has never occurred even from tho breaking of rails. The New York Evening Post says that not a person in that country has lost his life or been mutilated from this cause in all the thirty or more years that steam carriages, have been running on iron ways. The rea?ou is plain. It is deter? mined by scientific experiment how long iron will resist, ou tho average, the beat? ing of wheels, and then tho law requires the railroad companies to pnt down rails periodically, whether those in uso exhi? bit sigas of weakness or not. While this involves oxpense, it is BO managed aa to be gradually distributed over a pe? riod of years, a email part of the road being renewed each year until tho whole is completed within the given time. Hore, on tho oontrary, upon many rsd road linee, little attention is given to thj selection of rails and lees to their renew? als at certain periods. Few companies incur the expouse -of substituting steel for iron rails, thongh the former are more durable. In like manner the same fulso economy in all that would give in? creased security to tho public ia one of tho chief causes of tho frightful perils of railway traveling. Tho Strasbourgors will not bo conci? liated. The old love for the French langnngo survives overy attempt whioh is made to extinguish it. The last effort of the kind consisted of an edict by the Governor that tho language of the plays at tho theatres should bo invariably Ger? man. At tbis, the people opeuly mur? mured and rebelled, and at last a com? promise had to bu resorted tc, to the effect that once a week the French may bo employed, but on all other nights tho German only. These being the best terms they could get, tho people aro said to enllouly submit, but declaro they will only attend the French performance, and let tho Germans play to empty benches! FOUND DEAD. - Rufus Yarborough, a negro mau living on tho premises of John Davis, Esq., was fouud dead on Sunday morning Inst, lying in front of a corn crib.

At a marriage lately in Maine, the bride's voice faltered, ani she paused in the midst of the impressive ceremony. Her little niece, a bright little three year-old, thinking the naughty minister was compelling poor aunty to say some? thing disagreeable, stamped ber little foot and exclaimed, in a tone of autho? rity, "Auntie, don't oo tbay it." A young lady at Connoil Bluffa being informed by her "febar" that he intend- j ed to censo hie attentions, cow-hided him around the room, and as he sprung throngh the open wiadow, told him, with a parting lick, that that would teach him to be more careful for the future not to trifle with a gentle and loving heart. New York young ladies have a queer way of leaving home without the ' 'know? ledge and consent of their parents," and than having their corpses returned, neat? ly packed in trunks.
