Banner-Watchman, who was said to have come into possession of a fortune. Mr. William Jones, who,attained his majori ty on Sunday last, came to Charleston and has taken possession.of his fortune, which, while it will hardly entitle him to bo ranked among tho millionaires of the country, is at least sufficient to give him a good start in life. William Jones’ history isapiomant one. When he entered ti ls world one of the greatest struggles of modern times had just closed'.. His father had evident ly taken apart in it, for ina soaled pack age which was left for Willie there was a silver medal^ evidently of Confederate manufacture, en which is inscribed the words, “Sabine Puss, Sept 8,1803,” and on the reverse a Maltese cross with the letters “D, G.” rudely cut on the sur face. Willie’s father, it is supposed, like all the Confederates, cams horns ruined in fortune and ^broken in health. After living In Charleston some time he went up the river to work, and that was the last ever hetid-of him. Whether he was murdered or drowned accidentally is not known—he disappeared, and it was gen erally supposed that he had died. Mrs. Jones had many warm friends In the family of Mr. George H. Ingraham, of this city, when) she found s homo, and in 1868 Willie was placed in the orphan asylum, from whose walls many good men And women have emerged well equipped for the battle of life. The prin cipal of the asylum and the teachers and matrons all speak well of Willie, who gave early Indications of being a bright boy. In 1878, a Mr. Malcom Stafford, of Jackson couutyl Ga^ came to the city, and while here applied at the Orphan House for a boy, whom hedosired to take to Georgia with • view of teaching him the trade of a printer. Willie Jonea * selected, and, the papers of indentui having ltoen aixnad. Willie accompanied him to his future home in Georgia. He remained with his mMter until the death ofthe latter, when he removed to Ath ens, carrying his indentures with him, and onterod the office of the Boj Watchman u a cyapozitcr. Me iiau pecu tniurmea bjt* the chairman of the board of coi era ofthe Orphan House, that there wm in his possession a bank book and a seal ed package which would be delivered to him when he arrived at the ago of man hood. And accordingly Willie Jones came to Charleston cn Monday last ^nd presented himself to the chairman of the commissioners. He is a handseiho and attractive leoking young fellow, with a bright and intelligent face, and gives promiso of making his way In Ahe world. In 1860 a deposit of $900 wm made by his father in the Boutb Carolina Loon and Trust Company. The amount hM[ ac cumulated to $2,100, which wm paid to Mr. Jones yesterday. The sealed pack age, which had been left in charge of Mr. W. C. Bee, who wm tbenohainnar of the Orphan House board, and whi- h had been transmitted successively to M I). Mowry and to Capt.

Small, and found to contain two gold watohesand a chain and the Confederate war medal alluded to above—mementoes which, although not valQble intrinsically as ths alleged diamonds, are highly treasured as souve nirs ofthe parent be never saw, or at Last of whonr be has no recollection.
