COLUMBfXS. ' C.j Tbt Eighth AnalTcn?ry of aba Phoenix. Oa the 21st March, 1865, - one month aod a few days after the oaptore and de etraction of Columbia, -.the first ntfrnber of the Phoenix was issued by the preseut. .proprietor. Oa this, the eighth anni? versary of Oar newspaper existence, we 'find interest and satisfaction in reading in that dingy little sheet the confident expressions of hope for a resuscitation of our braver old city from its ashes. Atf earnest'appeal was made to' the citizens to rally from their despondenoy, and give themselves to the toil, which, ho? nestly pursued, would heal all the hurts of fortune. Let our oitizens, said the infant journal,, rising with heart. and faith firmly fixed da that diviue Provi? dence whioh suffers no sparrow 1 to fall unnoticed to the ground, proceed to their labors manfully, each in his voca? tion, and all working together, until our oity is renovated, renewed,; regenerated, and springs, with all her temples and palaces, Let shrines of art and industry, into ? '2strength, j?and Bplendor su? perior even to the past. It was ? happy augury, and- tho Phcbnix -to -day rejoices.' in 'the par tial fulfill men t of the hopbs it then' cherished, and in the brightening proapoots of the future. The oltv 'has been in large measure x a - built, it's business recovered, and com? modious stores and handsom9 residences replace the ashes and mouldering ruins which then every where; mot the oyo and chilled the heart.. Considering the de? vastation- which bad baeh ' wrought, ttud' <sthe loss of moans whioh our-psoplo had igenerally sustniuod; oyn,Bidering, too, the peculiarly iUQpropItious ciroutn etanoes of the an wise- and heartless J scheme of reconstruction, under whioh ?our prosperity was. fcp be. regained; con? sidering these -and other drawbacks, we rejoice : that ho- much ? has been- done. Viewing .the.' growth? o'f^the' oity "and ? the constant' improvCnwnt In Its \buainessy our peop|o ^havWa'rtghtr congrat ulate themselves that they hayebeen.no idlersr no laggards in tqrilj and havepot elprank from the duties and'' tfeepbasibillties1 de? volved upon them daring itho past eight trying years. g ^ * g f On the 16t| MUoHoj|rn^U JksT appearanoe^'we "linn sSSL juSsSEf- ? larged to nearly its present rprppor tipnsv Sinoe then, it has gone on with unvary? ing steadiness1 and success,' appearing without fail each appointed day, with its news, its counsels and its encourages ments. It has discussed with such ability as it could aommaud, and -in a spirit-of fairness and candor, the public questions of the day. . While tenaciously uphold? ing timo-honored principles, and ten? derly respecting those prepossessions and sensibilities in our people whioh form a part of their heritage, it has sought to dis? pel in them the feelings of gloom and ap? prehension which were but too natural in their situation. It has sought to Im? press upon them a rational view of the situation, and to win them from a fruit? less contest with inevitable and accom? plished facts. It will continue its effort* . in this same spirit, endeavoring to point out congenial and profitable fields of labor, and seeking to impress upon all how much for themselves, their ohildren and country they have yet to live and ? straggle for. We trust that we may be excused for saying that the Phoenix is a fixed institution, exerting its proper measure of influence, numbering its friends and supporters in all classes of the community, and in the remotest quarters of the State. To these sap porters and friends, wherever they exist, in or out of the State, it sends its most cordial greetings. Belying on the Pro? vidence, whose aid it invoked at the outset of its career for itself and coun? try men, it sincerely trusts t that they may continue to prosper; that oar oity and State shall fully regain their old time prosperity and happiness, and to effect these ends in the iuture, as in the past, it will spare no labor or exponso in the performance of its part. i * ?#?? Senator BbowsIiOW.?The Lynchburg Virginian says: "As announoed by telegraph, Senator Wm. G. Brown low passed through this oity Sunday morning, on the 4.20 train, en route to his home in Knoxville, Tenn. To see him, one would wonder what keeps him alive. Thin, pale and ema? ciated, and shaking with palsy, tho poor old palterer, deprived of motion, was borne from the Orange to the Tennessee train by tho assistance of three gentle? men, and as carefully seated as though he were a woanded soldier borne from the sanguinary conflict'. He was cleanly shaved, attired in a blapk suit, and wore a white slouch hat, drawn over his fore? head. He is, to all outward appoaranco, a human wreok, and it is more than pro? bable that he has made his last visit to the Senate Chamber.- But it |wouldn't be safe, notwithstanding, to bet on Brownlow's dying within any given AJme."

Tbe play proceeded, and between the second and third acts tho Prosident made his appearance, when tho orchestra, breaking off in the inusio they were play? ing, struck up "Hail to the Chief."

Hor order was obeyed, to the very groat surprise of tho President's flatterers and himself and family. So relatos a Washington cor? respondent of tho Norfolk Journal. It is reported that Judge T. H. Cooko, of tho Eighth Judioial Circuit, is dosing up all the bar rooms in Anderson, Ooo neo and Greenville Counties, whioh do not conform to what is known as tho Tupper law. This is a law which has remained ou tho statute books of tho State for many years, but has been prac? tically a dead letter, for it was never exo oated. It provides that no one shall keep a bar exoept he has a cor tain num? ber of beds and accommodations for horses?in short, unless ho keeps an inn. Judge Cooke, it is said, ignores licenses issued by town or city corporations, and holds each vonder to an acoount under the Tupper law.

The Modern Leander?About ten days since;-a white man, giving his name as Joseph Taylor, was brought in from Horn Lake by some citizens,- who I charged him with being a horse thief. He was turned over to Chief Athy, who J locked him up. The fallowing day, a well known lawyer visited Captain Athy, and elaimed to know Taylor, and vouch? safed for him as a well-to-do and respect? able citizen. His name, the lawyer suid, was Tucker, and be lived near Pratt's Mills, in Do Soto County, Mississippi. The lawyer accounted for his presence and suspicious actions near Horn Luke, by stating that Tucker was engaged in an amour near that place, and changed 1 his name to avoid detection. As there was nothing against the man bat suspi? cions, Chief Athy, upon the lowjer's 'statement, released him, at the same time writing to Sheriff Daily, of De Soto County, making inquiry concerning Tucker. Three or four days later, he received an answer from that officer, stating that no such 11 uia? as Tucker had ever been ueeu iu tho vicinity of j Pratt's Mills, where ho claimed to re leide. ? Officers were at once put on the track of Tucker, who had 'romuined in. town, viith orders to arrest him. That Worthy, iu the meantime, had formed the acquaintance of Maggfb Morris, the heroine of the nobody's block' story, and they hud sworn to stick to. each 1 other through thick and thiu. Maggio, it will be remembered, after her rescue from the block, was turned over to Father O'Brien, who placed her in St. Peter's Orphan Asylum. She remained there jast two days, when, telling, a .plausible atory, she*' was allowed to- go orit in town, promising to be back iu an hour. That was tho lust seen of tho- in* 'teresting lass, us she never returned. When the officers, -started.in_ quest ot Tucker, ho by some' moans learned of their movements, and, with Maggie, fied town. > Boing close pressed when he reached Wolf River, Tucker placed the girl' on hts back and plunged iuto that turbid stream, swam, safely to the other side and made good his escape. Informa? tion of his escape was sent -Sheriff Daily, with a request to'capture him if possible. Since .his escape, several animals, have been stolon from the vici? nity of Horn Lake, and it was thought that be was again operating. Saturday night, Sheriff Daily sent Chief Athy. a despatch, announcing' the arrest of Tucker, who will be hold for trial, as a number of the missing animals were from Mississippi.

She, nevertheless, ran away, for the purpose of giving tho alarm to her sons, who wero working in a field at some distance from the house. During j her absence, Joe appropriated a gun and some clothing and made off. He was tracked to Cade's Mill, and up Little River to the neighborhood of Mrs. Dren nan's, where all traoe of him was lost. We trust he will yet bo arrested.

The immense audience were terror-stricken by the'mis hap, and a general stampede began. An indiscriminate rush, over -benches and prostrate men and women was. made by the more powerful of those present, and the canvas was slashed with knives in every part of the tent, in order to afford means of egress from the scene of | tumult and coufasioo, Before any con? siderable number of the people bad! escaped, however, the part of the pole I whioh had hitherto remained upright came to the ground, and the whole can? vas fell npou tho confused audience and completely buried them. A brisk rain? storm prevailed at the time, and the] saturated <nnvaa extinguished the lamps I and left the people in confnsion and darkness, with no means of escape. Tn the rush several of the cages, continuing the'animals connected with the mena gerie, were overturned, and tho roaring of the frightened beasts lent it now terror lo the boeno. After an anxious suspense of nearly au hour, however, the canvas was raised sufficiently to ena? ble the audience to escape, and the panic was allayed. Fortunately uone of the animals escaped,'and but one or two fatalities resulted from the catastrophe.
