CAROLINA SPARTAN.
From tho Anderson Gazette.
Mute College, and the military Academies,
"The Walereo Division, No. 9. Sons of
Temperance, and tho Cadets of Temperance
thereto attached, togethor with a number of /{
the citizens of Cntndon, not luombors of either
organisation, cclebiated tho 4th in
Camden in Temperance stylo, and with
somo enthusiasm. Among tho regular
toasts which were presented on tho occasion
wo find the following:
The South Carolina College and State
jMditarg Academies: Noblo institutions of
learning, amply attesting the fostering caro
of the State fur tho offspring of hor whole
people. Bet them inculcato a high-rnornHtr
as well as an elevated standard of learn.J
lin
lUg.
Messrs. James II. Kosser, U. P. Bonney,
JU. w. i?e5>a?ssure, J. L>ang, J. uavis, John
1). Kennedy, ami J. Chesnut, Jr., responded
to tho sentiment in behalf of the South Car- 11
olina College, and Mr. Thos. 11. Cnntey as 111
tlio representative of tho Military Academies.
At tho celebration in the village of Lancaster,
we find the following among the
regular toasts:
The South Carolina College: Destroy*it,
and you knock out the right eye of South
Carolina.
The Citadel Academy: Wo may look ])
to it both as a source of intelligence and a 111
moans of defence." w
Aud thereupon tho Carolina Times proceeds
in a strain of intlated bombast to laud
the South Carolina College to tho skies,
aud denounce those who have raised their th
voices against tho management of it deningoguea
and brawlers. We unqualifiedly of
endorso tho sentiments as applying to the tli
Military Academies, but in reference to the
South Carolina College we totally dissent, it!
Wo admit that it is a "tioblo institution of p.
learning," but d?ny that it "amply attests c
tho fostering care of tho State for tho offspring
of her whole people." Tho Military
Academies are adapted to tho wants of the
peoplo of tho whole State, the South Caro- |l(
lina College is not. All of thorn are sup- N)
ported by the munificence of the State.
The Military Academies, in return for the tt(
State appropriation, annually recoivc a large u j
number cf b> ne6ciaries, who are boarded,
lodged and educated, while tho South Carolina
College docs not educato a single
beneficiary, although it receives an annual
appropraticn of twenty jive thousand dol
. . Of
Is there mot a marked difference in the ,
i . Ol
management of the two institutions:
Tho South Carolina College has cost the ,
Stnto in round numbers One Million of
Dollars! Kadi irraduute li.i? rent lliflStiniu
- O ?~ ----- j
Eight Hundred Dollars What have we
received in roturn for this vast amount of ^
money? Can you point to one man educato-'.
nt t!;o expense of the State out of this Inl
sutu? Not one. There aro two kencficiaiies
from the Orphan House in Charleston,
but there is an extra appropriation
made for their benefit.
Again, the courso of study, and the system
of education pursued in the South Carolina
College, are unsuiled to the gieat mass
of the people. The regular College curri- jj
jtulum virtually excludes all who have not
the time and money to pursue the regular nt
course. For instance, a farmer who desiies
to educate his son iti the branches pertain- re
ing to his profession, cannot enter him in w
the South Carolina College unless ho takes
tho whole course. This is a serious objec- 50
tion, and it annually drives a large number ,!l
of youog men out of iho State to receive UP
an education. *n
Wo would respectfully imjuiro what dis- th.
position is made of tho tuition fund arising
from the South Carolina College? It does
not go to pay the Professors' salaries, for
they are paid by the State. When an ef A
fort was made in the Legislature to pay the n'i
tuition fuud into the State Treasury, it was P1
VOtcd rforr/1. The. tuition fund for !<?? <>t>
ten yeau would aveiago in rouud numbers tb
ten thousand dollars per annum. This
amount added to the annual appropriation
would swell the sum to thirty Jive thousand
dollars. We are inclined to the opinion by
that this is "paying dear for tho whistle." ni
The people too will think so when the question
is brought rightly before them, as it tai
will be done. A certain portion of the np
press and the people of this State have to mi
loam that even the South Carolina College w|
is a projajr subject of investigation, and that so
men aro not to bo denounced as dema- t?-i
g )gue> who hare the independence tc ?ry out (r>
against the mismanagement of that insti n
lotion. We aro not opposed to the South ! ,j,
Carolina Collogo per sc, but we object to j ^
this extravagant expenditure, when 110 re- ul
turn wliatover is made to tho State. ,
Sikol'i.ar Phenomenon.? A remaikahle
meteoric rpc tucle was witnessed yesterday I;|1
afternoon, 8th July, at a few minutes after ; "
ft o'clock, in a 60Uthea>t direction from this ,
city. In nppeaiance it was a large ball of i n
fire, descending rapidly towards the earth, fn
tti the manner of a "fhooting star/' leaving ji
?n its train a white flame. Its descent was ! r(l
continuous until hid by the intervening 1 ?r
hou.es. Tho apparently white llaino remained
after the descent, in appearance a
narrow column of grayish cloud, which re- [
niainod visible fur abou* fifteen minutes- I h'
fiiot changing its sliapef doubtless from the
cut tents of air among which it Hunted, into 0,1
n zigzag, and tlien into such irregular forms , ^
as may frequently he aeon in long ships of o1'
clouds of a sumuiei's evening. There was wt
previously no cloud in that quarter of the j hii
heavens; and the wholo appearance, as well kn
as the actual observation of those who saw w/i
?t, left no doubt of this cloud or smoke ?ui
being a sequence of the falling ball of fue. liv

DEDICATION.
The new llaptist Cliureli is so nearly completed
at its dedication lias been fixed for the fitli .Sabitli
in August, when it is expected that a number
ministers from abroad will be present to assist ill
e interesting services.
A very handsome hell has just been elevated to
i place in the steeple. This bell weighs 1,001
iunds, and is, we believe, the largest bell out of
oluinbia in the up-country.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL C1USB.
Very interesting Sabbath School meetings wero
Id in town on Sunday last by Rev. A. F. Diekn,
District Secretary of the American Sunday
,'buol Union: In the morning, for the children,
the Methodist Church, nnd in the evening for
ultv at the Presbyterian Church. The latter
ccting was addressed by Rev W T. Far row, S.
obo nnd O. K. Kdwatds.
PERPcVlERY.
Through Dr. /. W. Green i who keeps a stoek
perfumery on hand) wc have received a present
Harrison's delightful handkerchief extracts. The
lies know the peculiar excellence of Harrison in
I d< pat tmen's of liirf fragrant art.

Iter from a family visit to relatives in Mississippi,
"e nre glad to see them looking so well, and in

commenced in the District for il.o !.e/islaiure i
THE COlTfTlOLSE.
On the l'2th of May last Mr. .1 W. Maxwell
it his hands at work to demolish the old Court
ouse, which was completed iu three weeks. The
>w building (80 by 50, with a chancel of 7 feet)
is then commenced, and before this arcount
aches our District readers the entire brick-work
ill be completed, ready (or the carpenter.
We know not what other* may tlrnk, hut it
ems to us that the laying of 550,000 brick in
e short space ?>f two mouths reflects high endit
ion the perseverance and energy of the boss If
y body wants a job of brickwork done in "Icrs
an no time," let tlicm employ Mr. Maxwell.
MISU'TL.
We direct attention to the advertisement of Mr
G. Kern, who will be in Spartanburg in a 'ort
ght or less, in the prosecution o( hi- bus ncaa and
ofession. Mr. Kern is well known to e?me of
r citizens, aud it ntny be the internet of others of
em to make his acquaintance.

Among those who wet c attracted to Spartanburg
the late C<'llo?o Comineticvm.-nts none were

RIGHTS OF LEGISLATION.
Tito South Carolina Railroad, under ihc lash of a Tl
line of competing stenniboats, will reduce ita Ireglil
charges between Columbia uu?I Charleston. We b?
notice, (>Uo, that candidate* for the Ia-gislature in la!
Richland arc called upon to aid in repealing the
net of 1852 by which that road was allowed to eon- ri<
struct a permanent bridge over the Congnree Riv- nt
er, which impedes steamboats nt high water. of
We (singular number) admonished up-country ui
j members, by pcrsoual importunity, nt the time, of foi
the consequences of this measure; but could only ai
rouse three voices to break the monotony of ncqui- to
escenee in the bill. Richland went for it unanimously,
and almost deserves her lute. (s
Wc hopo something, however, will be done in
the matter. It is not right tlmt tho entire upper Pi
districts should suffer to benefit a corporation. To
our minds it is no answer to allege that under the ot
authority given by law the compnny have incurred
expense in the erection of a permanent structure, In
and that it is a vested interest. The Legislature G
has no power to vacate its authority. To alter,
amend, or repeal obnoxious laws, or laws opera- tli
ting injuriously upon the people, is an inherent
right delegated by sovereigns, and cannot be parted ?>l
with by agents.
The "Legislature is beginning to recognise the
correctness of this principle, by reserving the pow- 0(
cr of alteration, amendment, and repeal in charters M
of recent enactment, and the people should watch ,
with solicitude that the reform becomes complete.

t The recent misunderstanding between ex-llou.
. Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, and Mr. Bui anframe,
of Massachusetts, member of tfie lower
llousc of Congress, ha* been renewed within a
* few days past. It will be remembered that Mr. '
it ' Burlingnme during a speech in the House of Ilep0
! reiM-ntAtivcH culled Mr. Brooke' attack on Mr.
Sumner brutal and cowardly, and aiiuonnced that
e ' ho held himself responsible for liiw words. When ..
called upon, however, by a friend of Mr. Brooks ^
v hu "disclaimed nny intention to reflect upon the .
personal character of that gentleman, or to impute j
in any respect a want of cournge; but discrimina
ting between the man and the net to which he was J?
n called upon to allude, he had eharacterixed the latf
| ter only in such a manner mm lea representative du'
ty required him to do." Tlii# explanation Mr.
Brooks doe tiled satisfactory and tho matter was m
?f dropped. It is said, however, to have given offence ,K
t I to Mr. Burlingamc's friends, both iu Massachu- c<j
lf ! sett* nnd Washington, and they have been foohsh- w
| ly intimating that there v.aa a wan. of courage oss u|
y j his part. The following "card from Mr. Brooks
I will explain the balance:
(i ! To tiik i'L'blic.?It is with extreme reluctance q
tltat I am constrained to trunsfer a private quarrel
from its legitimate field into the public press. The j
e fault, however, dots not properly rest with me, as '
n | an impartial public will decide after leading the fol- j
lowing card front Anton Burlinganie, member of
Congress from Massachusetts:
' | A C*ao.?I atn informed that the memorandum
I <<f a recent conversation of myself and friends with 0?
i. the friends of Mr. Brooks lias received, iu some tj(
quartets, from his position, as appended to Mr. .
Brooks' speech, ar. interpretation which does in*
justice to its re*al meaning and to my intentions. I j(j
a Th'rr is what I say, and have said, in relution to j ^
my e|iecuh: That 1 oliscrvcd in it the rules of per-' (
tonal and parliamentary decorum; that I could not !
' j qualify or retract any portion of it, and held myself \
- responsible i < any gentleman aggrieved by it. !
. ! Tins is the only consti action which 1 supposi d |
would be placed on the memorandum, which rny , Jn
' friends reduced to writing, that there might be no at)
'I misunderstanding. But inasmuch as attempts, not ' ^
altogether utisur cersful, have been made to pervi rt 1 f|]
^ its true meaning, 1 now withdraw it. And, that j)m
that there may not he nnv misaDnre!n>ii?i..n > > i -

I )rt r Sik: I have decincd it proper and just to
like tlio following statement {
At jour request, I called yesterday, nt near three
clock , as your friend, upou lion. Mr. liurlingame,
at being the first opjiortuniiy I hud of nit sting
in and of delivering your note. After he had
ad it, I informed him that I was r? quested by you
urge that a meeting should take place at the ear*
st practicable moment, suggesting that afternoon
this morning at four o'clock, and hoped that it
juld suit his convenience.
I further stated that you had supposed that al I
(Terences between ; ou and himself had been adsled;
that lie (Mr. Burlingnme) had reopened the
alter, ns jou supposed, for a personal difficulty,
id that you were anxious to have it ended without
lay. lie replied, "That is the feeling of a gallant
an, and Brooks is a brave man." 1'hal lie would
k out for a friend, and had none in his mind ut
at time, and perhaps he could not be ready for a
ccting at ns early an hour as you requested. I
so impressed upon him the necessity of entire ?e
coy save with hi* friend: and further requested
nt he or his friend would communicate with tne
my sent while the House was in session, or at
v room after its adjournment; and, us he had the
jlit of selecting the plocc for the meeting, and
clt other ai rangemen's as are usual upon sui b
casions, that lie would have the kindmrsto let
e know, al as early an hour as was convenient.
ik*ii wiieie ami wnai it would be. I-ast
citing. about elevi n o'clock, the enclosed note
;?m Mr. llurlingnme was placed it) my hand by
e Hon. I. 1J. Campbell. The place of mei'ting
lignntcd in said note in so far distant, rod would
bject you to ho in ity hazards of arrest, and aluo
a jurisd ictioii without the limit* of tho United
a'is, that, as your friend, I advise }ou, without

An "Attachment."?We have heard a good
?ry of which an A labanra Sheriff" vm live hero,
nurt w as in seseiop, and auiid the multiplicity of
isin? vs which crowded ujiou him at t?-rm titne,h?
. ppetl at the door ot a beautiful widow, on tho
may side of thirty, who, by the way, had often
stowed in- itit-g gliiuce* upon the aforesaid sheriff
q waa admitted, and the widow apj-enre-d; the
inluston and fright which the arrival of her visitor
tensioned a? t off to greater advantage than usual

rows that only invited a bran . pardon the pun)
do full cxiculioii. Aftr* a few common p'ao*
marks :
".Madam," said the matter-of-fact sheriff, " I
tve nn attachment for you."
A deeper blush than usual inantfed the checks
the la r widow ; the downcast eyes, whoso
i rces wire centered upon her beautiful foot,
liii h, hall concealed by her tlowtug drapery, partpatted
the fh or. She w ith equal candor replied:
"Sir, the attachment is reciprocal.''
For wme time the sheriff" mainiaintd an asteuicd
silence?at length ho said :
"Madam, will you proceed to court?"
"Proceed to court!" replied the InJy, with a mcr*
laugh; then shaking her head, she said;
"N->, > r," though tins is leap year, I will not take
[vantage of the license therein gr. uted for my
x, and, therefore, I greatly prefer that you thould
acted to court
"Hut. madam, the justice is waiting."
"Let him wait, 1 am not disposed to hurry ma'rs
in so unbecoming a manner, and besides, sir,
lien the ceremony ui performed, 1 wish you to
iderstand that 1 greatly prefer a minuter te a
stice of the peace."
A li.ht dawned upon the sher.fTs brala. "Mad
n," said lie, rising from his chair with solemn
unity, "there is a great mistake here; my laninge
has bccu mi.?uud? rstood; tho attachment of
bich I speak was issued Irom the office of Squire
., and commands me to bring you instantly before
in to answer a contempt of court, in disobeying a
hp?Mu in the case of Smith vs. Jones.
