We have just spent a week in j South Carolina, looking after the in- j terests of the Messenger and noting j the progress of our people. The State Fair at Columbia was a grand J thing, in spite of the rain. The trains j on all the roads leading in the city were crowded to their utmost capacity, j Three sections were run daily on the J C. C. &A. road and each was crowded J to the bottom step of the cars. The j majority of travel seemed to be from the colored people. The Synod of the Atlantic was held j in Columbia last week. This Synod embraces South Carolina, Georgia and j Florida. It has a number of able men; Rev. F. J. Grimke, a gradu-j ate of Princeton-College, being among j them. A very pleasant and interest ing feature of the Synod was the Wo men’s Missionary meeting, presided over by Mrs. Eva Chase Williams. Mrs. Williams is the most interesting female speaker we ever heard. She Speaks without notes, and her address on this occasion would do credit to any of the leading lights of the day. The effect of the Church trouble of a year or two since are plainly seen on j all sides. The A. M. E. Church lost! here one of the largest congregations in the South, also several preachers. This congregation is now with the C. M. E. Church and have nearly com pleted a very large Church near the main street. Rev. Mr. Stinson is in charge of the Church. Rev. E. Ilinton has organized and is building a Church under the auspi ces of the A. M. E. Zion Church. He is doing well. The colored people of the city seem to be getting on pretty well. There is a superabundance of young ladies, but it seems that the priucipal fault with the young men is, they arc not ambitious enough to learn trades, pro fessions, and go into manly business for themselves. The future hope of our race depends alike upon the char acter of our girls and manhood of our young men. Among the progressive young men of the State is Mr. Peter F. Oliver, a young lawyer and school teacher. — We need more such men. Major C. D. Lowndes, Mr. F. W. Williams, and J. P. Evans are among the pro gressive business men of the city. The Conference of the A. M. E Zion Church convened in Yorkvillo on Wednesday. Bishop H. T. Jones, D.D., in the chair. The Bishop’s ad dress was pointed, and referred to the conncctional institutions, and especial ly Livingstone College and its work. This is not as large as the North Caro lina Conference, but has in it some promising young ministers. Rev. G. W. Clinton has been spoken of us a possible candidate for the editorship of the Church organ. J. B. Collier and W. 11. McMullen are the secre taries; T. P. 11. Moore, reporter to the Messenger ; G. W. Clinton, re porter to the Star of Zion. Rev. M. Ingram, of Rock Hill, preached the annual sermon on Wednesday night ; Rev. Q. W. Clinton preached the missionary annual sermon on Thurs day night A reports of Conference will be given next week. Renew your subscription promptly.

An empire built toward the rising sun, Near Euphratc’s rolling tide.— Mcbpiiy. We are still searching out the mys teries hid under the accumulated dust of by-gone ages, and concealed in the "dark arcana” of the forgotten “past.” The more wc reflect upon the sub ject, the more profound and necessary it becomes. We wish to know the truth ; we desire also to disabuse the winds of many of the worthless no tions they entertain respecting this family of nations who have been to a great degree considered nothing more than vagabondsWchattels, and slaves. If there is any pride in claiming descent from an ancient ancestry ; if there is any honor in having sprung from an ancient stock, we arc certainly on the vantage ground, and the record for fame and genius by priority of in vention belongs to us. The first city mentioned in the old est record was built by Cain, and lie of right was its first prince or ruler, j Here we have another important factor to aid us in solving this mystery, for Cain could not build a city without a population —-hence it is reasonable to suppose that Adam had other descen dants spread over a considerable amount of territory when Lis son be gan a wandering life. The word “bis” is very dignified aud prominent in ex pressing the relation of Cain to his wife, and to narrow this relation down to a vulgar idea, is much to be de plored. The sanction of Revelation will not come to the aid of those who hold ; worthless views respecting the well founded, original parentage of this family of nations, who is destined to work out the most glorious problem of I human aud national development that ever blessed mankind. This is seen to be true when we notice the incipient steps of “his” material advancement tong before an ark was built by a plan from heaven, or a tent of worship by the “pattern” of a Divine Architect. The same genius still slumbers in latent tires, ■ and will, at the proper time, bur: : the prison bars of its confinement. The sporting herds which roamed j .label’s tinted fields, or Jnbal's sous and daughters who moved to the en chanting strains of harp and organ, aud the workmanship and artificial skill of Tubal in the primitive work shops of brass and iron is certainly not favorable to the opinion of those who hold insignificant views respect ing Cain’s posterity. These were his immediate descendants. This portion of Scripture history show, that die brightest and most creditable progr—-s in material advancement hail been made from the time Cain founded to - “City of the Fathers,” the modern name by which Nod is known ain- ng the inhabitants about the great J\,. inn Gulf. The footprints of vast ruins in these identified spots convince travel ers and arebologists that populous | cities flourished here before the fi !. j The “inscription” on many of tin - I ruins show that the people had ad i vanced to a good degree in social an 1 I mental culture. There is one thing for which we tire sorry, and that. | no special attention, in any ago of li ■ • world, has been given the interest ini' | questions concerning the establishment ;of Nations, Empires, and States, by this people who have hem ins! :<l made “targets” for the burning ar- I rows of prejudice. Eden aud .od were adjacent districts, and the historian speaks of the otic as familiar as of the other, showing that while the scenes which transpired with ! Adam were different from those in other parts of the community, yet tin whole human family was identified in social interest and mutual tics. Wc also find that certain names of the Bible are used to express the meaning, character, aud traits of 1 places and individuals. Such is the manner in which the river that flowed, from Eden through (or compassed) the land of Ethiopia is used. Giliou •signifies “Valley of Grace” or favor. Wo find that this and many other things arc characteristic 'IT the inter j est (iod manifested in the conditions aud history of this people. For many ages scholars have iden tified the Ethiopia of th Bible with the portion, of country; Em Afl-iem Cjiiigr south of the Great, ft* - et. lie lie a mietak- . and we am gfild 'i being corrected by oar host tugju-.’SX i writers of geography.
