al TIE m %.

Again within the period of eight months
ths proprietor OF tie PaGs1x finds III
necessary, owing to the pressure of al.
vertisements. to enlarge his journal.
He desires further by this enlargement
to commend it to his readers, and hopes
in this way to extend the area OF it's in
fuence, and to augment the list of his
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
our city is recovering it's former beauty
and prosperity, it ia meet that the
PHGN1x should grow with it.-catch
something OF its progressive spirit, and
enjoy q share. at least. of its returning
fortunes. 1t was the journal of Colum-
bia when Columbia was in 'esack. cloth
and ashes." 1t shall be the journal of
Columbia in the days Of her new life.
ALI that We ask of our friends is a fair
and liberal support. Let them sustain
us rs we sustain them and their interests.
Let them strengthen our hands, and we
shall be in condition still further to
improve our paper. Our purpose ia to
give at the capital a paper that shall be
fitting exponent aud advocate of the
substantial interests of the State. 1t is
unnecessary for us to define our POLITICS.
The daily utterances OF our paper pro-
claim what these are. Esteeming poll.
tics to be the great means whereby the
prosperity of States is secured. We shall
continue to sustain such measures and
to advocate such a policy US shall re-
dound to the welfare OF the State and
the enduring good Of her people. As a
paper. too. embracing the news of the
day and meeting the tastes aud wants OF
the family circle, we shall endeavor to
make it no less acceptable than as me-
dium of political reflections.
The PHGN1x and our wcekly-the
GLEANRR-nre devoted to politics, news,
literature and general intelligence, and
1t will be 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 present the indications
are that It will open .auspiciously as i.
respects the influences of nature. We
accept the omen. The PHd:Nlx, in the
genial sunlight, spreads its wings, fixes
its eyes upon "the shadovy future" with
unfaltering trust, and thus essays for
1870 more vigorous effort and a bolder
flight. Let our friends see to it that
they keep the pinions of the bird lubri-
Gated with the oil of their generous sup.
port.

celebrity. and was we'll known in this
community twenty years ago. died in
New York, on the 26th.
New Years Day is to he kept up in
CoIumbia-consequently the publication
OF the PKGNIx will be suspended for one

Charitable work does not require a
large fortune for its support. Every
man, NO matter how humble his po sition,
oan do great deal in relieving the
sufferings Of his neighbor An illustra-
ton OF this principle is given by the
recent notice of Nottingham stocking
weaver who, although he had large
family, nine sons and daughter to
bring up, took in and trained with his
children ct different times no less than
eighteen Orphans.
Andrew Lee, Esq, has presented us
with the carcass of white squirrel, as
companion to the white hawk OF eagle,
referred to in our last. We shall en-
deavor to have these specimens properly
stuffed and retained in the PH8Nrx
establishment.
