In reply to inquiries from abroad (says the South Carolinian, of Sunday morning,) as to the state ol the College, we can only say that a set ious difficulty has existed between President McCny and the Professors and Students, which ha* resulted in the resignation of the President. The exercises of the College, however, are progressing as usual with the other Professors. A call has been made for a meeting of the Hoard <if Trustees on Wednesday, 10th June. Tuk Bapti?t Theological Seminary.?The project of establishing a S?uthoi n Baptist Theological Seminary lias occupied the attention of the Southern Baptist Convention for several yrnts This spring, at Loaitville, a proposition, as heretoforu noticed, was made hy the Baptists of South Carolina, to raiss $100,000, if on equal amount be ra:sed throughout the bounds of the Convention, to h? applied to the same object, on condition that the Theological Seminary be located nt Greenville, in this Suite. The Committee reported in favor if accepting the endowment, with the condition of location. This is nn important movement for Green ville, and still more for the Baptist cause, and is honorable to their seal for ecclesiastical edueation. Greenville Water Wore*.?C. J. Elford, esq , of Greenville, having several fine springs of water near his superb residenoe running to waste, has proposed to erect the ncoess.try works and machinery, if council will lay the r< qnisite pipes, to supply the town with this desirable element. His terms are liberal, and should be accepted, even if the income should not result aocording to Mr. K.'s estimate. The certainty of having a supply of water in -case of fire is worth onj-hnlf the sum asked by him. Appointment.?C.apt. Jas. K. Sloan has been appointed Notary Public f.?r Spartanburg Disirict 1.. o... a ii..? %'j v?v?. niwiuu. Col. John S. Preston ?A Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes: "I linve h? nr.I it rumored here tliat neither Mr Aiken nor Col. Pickens will receive nppointnu tils abroad, lint that a lull iniaaioii will be tendered to Col. John S. Preston, of Columbia. I Jo not vouch for the truth of this, a* I am not in that line, and have not been in the Secreinry of Suite's othce. If Mr. Buchanan ami his Cabinet Imve J? leriiiinod on such an appointment, I will only say that while I believe either of the other gentlemen would reflect honor on the Slate, it is no disparagement to tlietn to say that a better selection could not be made. 'I he commonwenllh will suffer no detriment in the hands of John S. Preston. It is true, his public services, so far, have been confined to the Stale legislature, but it will be found that when cnllcd into n larger sphere, his talents will be found er|U<il to the ocousion, and neither South Carolina nor Virginia will hnve cause to be ashamed of him as their standard bearer abroad."

"Pink," the accomplished correspondent of the Charleston Courier For the Carolina Spartan. CONCERT AT CGOAR SPRINU AXYllM. mr was. editors: 1 had the ploasure, on Inst Saturday evening, of amending a Musical Concert, ' given by Mr. Jamks IIendcrson, thv accomplished | teacher of the blind, and his class, at (he Walker t Institute for the Mute and Blind, at Cedar Spring. To hear and sec the blind play on the violin, flute, piano, and clarionet, was what I luul never witnessed, and therefore attended more front curiosity ilinu any especial on of hearing good music. You may well imagine my surprise, however, which was only equalled by the pleasure I f? It, when 1 not only saw anil I. ?nrd them play in concert ou all tlwsclnstruments, but make music that would have done credit to good ejes in any school in this or any other country. Time, one ol the nnwt essentia! requisites to good music, was kept with astonishing perfection. They not only played well, but sung, repenting the words with equal harmony and correctness We are in I lie habit of regarding the mute and bliud as unfortunate beings, participating in but few of the enjoyments of this world; hut I am persuaded that this opinion finds its origin rather in imagination than in realty?in erroneous comparisons rather than in correct reasoning. We arc apt to think that all who do not |ums>ss some faculty that we Imast of are unfortunate. He who sings well, thinks those w ho eun't sing at nil arc d- priv> d of half the pleasures of life, and iiitngim s he would he miserable i( he could not raise a tune; while perhaps lie who can't sing can talk well, a id thinks the singer very unfortunate because lie is not an orator. Them ist-H-les (I believe it was) reproved his son because he sung so well; while Aleihiades thought it disgruceful to play on the flute, because it prcvcn'cd the per- j former from nccom|mii}ingil with n song. So,after all, the opinion of one man as to what another en- | joys is necessarily imperfect; and, for ought we know, the mute ntid blind have enjoyments more exquisite than anything wo ever experienced. I will not say it would he n pleasure to be hi nd, but 1 will say, that wt.ilo listening to the sweet and ! harmonious strains ol their music 1 iclt.if I wore deprived of sight, upon the condition that I conld play the violin, flute, or piano, as well as amnc of the blind, I would not be deprived of all the pleasures of life. The performance of the class certainly did great credit to the nbility of their excc'lent teacher, and the institute itself is rueoeedirc in Its work of nicrcv and benevolence, in sut-h a milliner an must sooner or I iter place Mr. N. 1*. \V Iker, itw worthy louuHer, high up in tlio roll or fame a* a philanthropist and benefactor of his race. A VISITOR. June 1, 1857 tiuTi'umt.

Ilia first eonipicuoua iiiiiiiift station of ululily oud power wna na me ot the managers of the impeachment of Judge I . lu the performance of this office, lie was t anointed with R. Barnwell Uliett, Robert Burtiwi-ll, Judge H. L. Wardiuw, and Col. Irby, each of s'Iumii, in the kiibsi-qut nt career ol life, baa ahovrn [ho sagacity of the Legislature in their selection; lor each of them haa since had conapicuoua diatiuo ilon. The old Judge had unfortunately permitted the liabita acquire d as a aoldier in the camps of the revolution to hang upon him, when a change of morals and niannera rendered auch habits offciiaivc to public sentiment, and unfit for public office. An Imprai'hment una therefore moved; but those who filtered upon it as a ptihhe duty, were not insensible to the pain ot wounding nn old public servant and revolutionary soldier. Mr Buthr, especially, I f< It the piiinfulneaa i f the position in which the com* iitand* or the 1 louse of Representatives placed him, and throughout the impenchmont manifested the liveliest sym|ialhy lor tho accused. He more than once w hisperi-d to his friend, who was counsel for the def'..ice, UI wish I could change places with you." Rut while thia sensibility was apparent through out the trial, his duty was faithfully and sorrowfully discharged, nod inn speech for the prosecution u|?oii the close of the testimony was a most vig??rous and powerful effort in the general estimation?surd;.suing those of the very clever gcnth-nn n his nssoeintes. When the Senate rendered Its decision, adverse to the old Judge, n shower of tears streamed down Mr. Butler's cheeks, and he buried his face iu his hands, until he wns relieved by the dispersing of the crowd. In this his ccrliest exhibition on n ei-tispicitoits stage, lie mnnilcstrd all his prominent characteristics?rich tnlent, extensive knowledge of law, conscientious devotion to duty, and that activity and tenderness of semrbdity which promptly spring into tears upon an occasion of pathetic excilcmeiit. lie wns tender and true?soft nnd Isdd ?soft as a woman nnd bold as n lion. His nature was impulsive pod explosive. ' When the two opposing parlies met by a sort of accident, in the Senate Chamber, on a night when there win n struggle for the lend in some party movement. Judge Smith and Gen. linger being the lenders of the lrn;on party, no one who was present can ever forget the burst of feeling and chrqiirnce from Butter, elicited by sortie rental k of Judge Sm lit. Mr. ltutlcr's intense earnestness seemed for the moment to have ignihd the compressed crowd, nnd to produce n terrible conflagration; luckily, or more justly providentially, it did not spread, an l no acetic of violence ensued. Throughout that long and fiery controversy, Butler bore n lesdmg purl in the front of it; and ennu-out of it, such wus the amenity and generosity *?t his nature, without nn enemy in the opposing ranks, or a drop of bitterness in Ins own heart. The districts in which he practised were KJgcficld, Barnwell, Lexington nnd Orangeburg. On this circuit, if he was not facile princeps, he was clearly primus inter pares. At Orangeburg, for several terms of Court, he wna marked on every case on the docket, summary process nnd issui?a thing of very singular, perhaps unparalleled occurrence, llis high standing at the hnr, of course, present! d lorn as a fit |H-rs<>n for the bemIt, and upon the death of Judge Martin, the place was offered him by the general feeling of the Slate, lie himself hesitated, us his course of life had led hun through the more passionate scents of effort, anil he doubted whether his I abilsof thought and action did not iu some sort disqualify him for the sedutcneasand gravity of judicial administration. Ikfidtn, he was devoted to the practice of hi* pro* 'etwion, and delighted in the social enjoyntt-nl of circuit life, and the excitement of popular effort; in short, with that scrupulous self-scrutiny und distrust which was constitutional with him, lie doubted whether lie ou^ht to assume the station, lie was prev iled upon, however, to take it, nml this habitual feeling of distrust was a high element of Ins gtcat success in his new office, making him cautious and laborious, and cut bint; his natural tendency to impctuosity. On the bench, Mid e? or niter in his high career, this sort of rcstinint only made him the more cffuctive, as a noble sired runs best ii|k>ii the bit. It was wall great hesitancy and difficulty he neecptcd a sent in the 1'mtcd 8Rites Senate; indeed, utsrii liis election, lie for a inoment decided not to accept, partly in view of his narrow circumstances; but upon its being urged that it was too late to r?eedc, lie entered up<<n that course id life which the event has proved lie was so emim nlly fitted for; where lie consolidated the love and admiration of his Stale, and won f.>r hinitill the respect and confidence of the confederacy. No Senator during his term has enjoyed a more racy and genial consideration. As chairman of ihe important Committee on the Judicial}", he has presided over it during the ag'taliou ol the gravest and the most intricate and exciting questions, and has ever enjoyed the confidence and approbation of his committee, the Senate, and the country. It Judge 1 hitler had not been called from his p'ace by the necessity of attending the sick bed of liis only eh Id, when Sumner delivered that iiit?m Derate and licentious prceof fustian, there would have b?-? n no occasion at any other tune or place for noticing it. The Senator from Massachusetts would not have been scathed, but consumed by Judge Hulltr'a indignation. It was mi occasion lli.it would have called forth nil the elements of Ins character, and vmnb tied them in such n lava torrent of burning invective?but he was awny on hid snd errand,and when he got buck, time luul enabled Inm to give instead of it n noble specimen of Inch senatorial reply, full of dignity, pow er nnd t flirt, hi n speech not characterized by oratorical display, but like a cnltn judicial sentence upon a et initial made to feel the go It of vvbioli he had been convicted, mid satisfying thu public mind ol its justness. Tin* line effort was an expos tioti of the restraint upon I is naturally fiery nnd impulsive temper, superinduced by his judicial habits, to which he had trained himself. The inti llictual gravity thus superinduced by official proprieties, bad not extended itsell to the control of Ins genial and hilarions temper in society?a temper which mndc him the delight of s<?ciety and of racy influences. At the bar, on the bench, or in the Senate he was capable ol intense application to business, and thus secured to himself in every position an eminent place. Throughout his career he received the approbation ol his fi-llow citizens, and t ngiulled himself in their aflrctmns. In the annuls of the State, his name will be inserted high nincngat those whom il delighted to honor, and proudly p" sent# as a modi I lor im t.ilion. May she have the g"od fortune to find worthy followers in his truck. A P. Butler was born in I ?9o, graduated in the Souili Carolina College in 1817, and was admitted lo the bar in I8T8. In 1833 he wus elected Igtw Judge, nnd in I84R succeeded Mr. Calhoun ill the United States S? unto. Shocking Mt Riir.it ?On Tuesday evening last, a favorite servant I my, 17 years of age, of Cnpt. II. 0 Davis, at Kidgcwny, was missed at supper, and { liis ahseuee next niortiing caused much uneasiness inti anxiety. Sampson, a man of 38, said lie had 1 tarted to go fishing with h in, hill had left him.and J probably hud gone off on the railroad train. Some , utspiciiMis hi nig aroused on the part >( Gabriel,the , atlier of the hoy Antony, he scrutinised Sampson i lo.-elv, and deteeti d a spot or two id blood ohicurely on his clothes I'poii pressing Sampson ! vnh questions, and charging him with being con crned in some v llaiuy ielating to the boy, he inally, after lies ami session, confessed that he had j iiurdcred him.
