AX EARNEST APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS OP SOUTH CAROLINA. VOL. XXXI. CAMDEN. S. C., THUESDAY, AUGUSTS 1873. . NO.497 Dear Friends and Country mm?Having been entrusted with the benevolent work of providing a Home for the Orphans, and other equally unfortunate children in South Cnro< /dina, we. thus make an earnest .appeal for help, in this great work. The Palmetto Orphan Home was organized last April, and is now progressing with encouraging prospects. The Board of Trustees have adopted a Constitution and By-Laws which dehne the nature, design and mode of operation of this Institution. Its direct management is to be by a Local Board consistiu^ of nine persons, in the city of Columbia, which Board is to be subject to the direction of a General Board consisting of two persons, from each county in the State, which is to be called to meet annually in Columbia, at such time as the Local Board may appoint. In the choice of persons to act on these * j nf fho Institution. .Hoards auu ui me uwucio ?. ? 7 110 partiality is to be allowed on account of the religious sect to which persons belong; but all appointments are ? to be made on the 'bhwd principles of humanity and charity. The Constitution does not limit tho ages i at which the children shall be received; but leaves that at the discretion of the Board, who arc to decide from the nature of each case as described in the application. . The Board are desirous of purchasing suitable and valuable property, now for sale at lopiigures, for the. location of the Home. We are, therefore, confident that our appeal , to the generous people" of South Carolina will at once bring many liberal donations and pledges to effect the permanent establishment of tho Palmetto Oykav Home, which will * be the best monument to the memory of onr ' dead we can rear in our State. The Board ha^e appointed Tilman R. Gaines General Agent to organize Aid-Committees and to raise funds for the Home.? And the Board will take pleasure in acknowledging all amounts paid to him or sent erectly to us at Columbia. Donations may ?Ai/Wniniy and bemaae id money, provis*vu&, b v anything that may be made useful. All applications for entering children must be made to the Board. Address, Dr. J. W.

A Noble Benefaction?The Trustees of the Louisville Medical College, (Louisville, Ky.) have created one of the most liberal benefactions ever conferred by a public Institution. They have instituted one Benificinry Scholarship for each. Congress ton. al District in all of tbe'States. By this means very many poor but deserving young men will be enabled to obtain a thorough medical . education. Any one wishing to take advantage of this Benefaction should write to Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Dean of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky., wheu lie will receive acollcge catalogue with fall information in regard to all that is necessary for him to do to secure one of these Scholarships. With proper delicacy the the names of those who have* secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will bo known only to the Dean of the Faculty. Jn accordance with the old Hippocratic oath, forbidding physicians to cbarga the families of each other for services rendered, therFaculty of "this College will make no charge for teaching sons of physicians, and as no physician charges a clergyman's family, the sons of clergymen will receive the same privilege. The -next College sessioh begins October 1st, 1872. As the lecture fees charged for each student who has not obtained a Beneficiary Scholarship, amount to 8120, annually, the public can appreciate the extent of this benefaction. ? ? -? 4, ' " * V Sandspouts in Nevada. * .. .. . .. . i. * For several hours yo^tcrday afternoon there were visible from this eityon TwontyTW>rt five or six tall colums of sand, backed up by as many whirlwinds. At sea these would have been waterspouts; but upon the desert they were only what wc might call sandspouts. The columns appeared to be ten feet in diameter and one thousand feet in height. Although they waltzed about over the plain for two or three hours; they never camo near together nor ever lost their distinct cylindrical form, and when they did go down, they went down at once??all falling togather. Those sandspouts are well known to old prospectors, and seem to indicate a change of weather. We have frequently seen hi' the Forty mile Desert, east of the lower sink of the Carson, not less than ten or fifteen of these tall sand columns moving about over the plains at the same time. It is seldom that they come* together, but when they do they dart forward like two flashes of lightuin9, and un explosion like a blast ends aH, and the two eelumns of sand at once fell to the ground. Tbosa who have not been upon our great deserts and have never witnessed these grand sandsponts*or wonderful mirages have but little idea of the romantic grandure of there apparently uniuteresting wastes of pand.?

A Fight with a Cow. On the farm of Jacob Hittingcr the wellknown ice dealer, on Sunday, occurred one of the most desparate struggles with u mad cow that has ever been known. While Mr. Thomas II it linger, his eldest son was going through a field during the forenoon, he dis- i covered a'strange cow among the squashes, i tomatoes etc.. and attempted to drive her off. ; At Jjrst the cow started to go, but in an iu- I stant she turned upon him, and with eyes ] flashing fire, tail in the air, and head down. . accompanied with fearful bcllowings, she i sprang toward him. Mr. Ilittingor is a man ' of about twenty-five, a fine specimen of- a i strong, well-built man. and weighing two 1 hundred and twenty pounds. Finding that f his only chauce of escape was a closo ngiiD, i he stood still and waited the attack, and jnst t as the infuriated beast would have gored hiui ? through, he seized her by the horns, and then * began the struggle. In an instant young t Hittingor was down and under the cow but v still clinging to her by the horns, which was l his only chance of safety. For a space of a fifty feet square the ground was plowed and d deeply torn up by tho struggle. In the a desperate efforts to get away the beast actu- e ally raised Hittinger to his feet, and then for p the first inouieut did he have any control of d the -beast, which he 'Used effectually and a drove her from the field. While uudcr the t cow, Mr. Hittingor said he once attempted 0 to get bis hand into his pocket to-'get his 1< knife, meaning to cut her tbroat, but even s then he had a very narrow escape from in- a stant death; as she raked her horns from f his stomach to his breast, but he was fortunatelydying a litlle on one side/and the horn ? which he grasped so firmly was the only one ? that touched him.

Bishops Polk and Eh J liott, before they were taken to their final homes, bad completed a mission inaugura- a ting this University, which, I trust, ccn- P turies hence will keep there memories fresh r in the heartr of their grateful countrymen ' of the South. How could their virtuous and 1 honorable lives be better commemorated than . by the endowment of Professorship to be !' called after their names I Their design and 11 that of their associates was to found here a ? University with thirty-two colleges, nnder s the control of the Bishops of the ten dioceescs $ of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,, Arkansas, Florida and Texas, and such clerical and lay students as mignt be elected from their dio- ^ ccses. Over nine thousand acres of land on ^ the top of this moutain, covered with grand old trees of many varieties, among whose c branches circulates au atmosphere as pure " anil ueiigntrui as tne unriu can conceive ui, and whose wide extended roots arc inoistcn: ? ed by water that bursts into bold and beau- a tiful springs iu every nook and valley of the v mountain, were flecurcd before the war. The picturesque beauty of the site, the c lofty height of the elevated plateau, the ? flplendid views of the beautiful valley below, ? the distilled and purified, air exhilerates one to that point of appreciating how "the dwellers upon the mountains" look down with contempt upon "the dwellers of the plains." This beautiful site is now dotted with neat cottages, handsome dwellings and 0 tasteful University buildings. A small vil- ] lage of traders and workmen has sprung up , near thoTailroad depot, and I am told the t population on tfce domain of the University t already numbers, about five hundred exclu- T sive of students.

You meet none but accomplished ladies and refined gcntle; < men, whose poverty has put them to work 1 for a livinsr, but from whom neither time nor i misfortune can take that charm of graceful W)d capy manner, which I have always thought WW Offp of t|fp pponliar ehflraeterjstics of tho Southern gtutry. All hayn aoceptcd the situation with Pfduf resignation. I believe one might be here a long time, and without hearing a word uttered against the Of tb* ^erul-Q^ernuient, although all aro Sonthcvuovs, ami ull hayo hccij grpat sufferers in heart and fortune by tho disasters of the war. They are a Christain people, and accept the results of the struggle a:s of God's accomplishment, and not as that of against whom the lost battle was waged. One of the greatest advantages presented here is that the students board in the families, and are under the social influences of these cultivated ladies and gentlemen. There is no steward's hall, and I have never seen is well behaved and gentlemanly an asscm- j blagc of young men and boys. ])uring the present year ,there has been an'average of! ICO students in attendance, and I hope in a lew years there will be several hundred.? n?c expenses are email. This added to the ithcr advantages ought to make this the argest educational establishment in the South. It has grown steadily and surely, ind all that it asks is patronage and libcraliy in endowing professorships and fellowihips. The model is Oxford, England. A tranger is struck with the Anglican ensoins. The commencement exercises were 'cry interesting and highly creditable to 10th professors and teachers. The exaxiintions were rigid and thorough. Several liplomas were conferred for the first time, nd we of the Beard of Trustees now considr the University an established fact. Our icople will soon learn to appreciate its grand lesign and capacity for usefulness. I must dd a new feature has been engrafted upon he University this year, by the election of leneral Gorgas, a layman, as Vice Chanccl?r, and by a provision to educate twenty cms of Confederate dead each year, free of ny charge for tuition, and at reduced price or board Every Southern man who is proud of his ection, who can appreciate thc.subliuic in aturc or intellectual conception, and who jvca pure air and refineu society, should pay his place annual visits, if possible. 1 guurutco he will Dc delighted as I am now.

They eachcd the point indicated above, when the >eal of'thunder came and the waterspout lispersed. Presently a violcift commotion, nth confusion of sounds, was heard high up n the mountains. Then came a tremendous orr nt of water, bearing trees and boulders, nd calculated to astonish and terrify by its nagnitudc and violence. The horses, seeing hat they were to be sacrificed to this prodiious volume, took fright, and shying toonc^ ide, upset the carriage, and all the occu01 its were Ditched into the bottom of the | - - - - x- ulcli. Iii ail instant, before they recover heir feet, the wave, with perpendicular rcast of ten or twelve feet, was upon them. Irs.

The news spread like wild-fire over town, and every heart ran out in anguish for the conditi m of the unfortunate one. Those who went to the veseue made "quick time" to get there.

One foot was jammed in a '. crevice, and the other bent under his body. ,, Tie was hugging the rock closely, while one hand was grasped in the strap on the collar of his coat.
