Our Columbia t xchangcs furnish us all the in* ( tclligcuce wc have as to the action of the Board of Trustees of tho South Carolina College at the late ( "occasional meeting"?tito necessity for which grew out of College difficulties that led to tho re- 1 signation of President MoCay mid misunderstandings between him utid tho Faculty. The Trustee* heard statements from both jmrties, and by formal -resolution express tho opinion that there exists no issue ol vorncity between President nud Professors, and that ho stands exonerated from all imputation -opou his character, and retains their confidenco in ' his purity and integrity. The resolution relative to tho Professors is less broad?merely saying that the "Board perceives ??> ground for any charge ,, ntfeoting the honor or integrity of any one of them." ? Tlie Delphic phraseology leaves room for nu infer- I enoe stronger than tho affirmation; but we cannot c believe that that was the design of tho Board. To j froe themselves from embarrassment in legislating t for the College, the remaining members of the 1 faculty were requested to resign, with which re- ' quest they promptly complied. It is tho design [ of the Board to reorganize the institution in its r faculty and curriculum. To this end a committee J was detailed to report to the lhsirJ in November 1 next. , This is pretty much the sum of what is inadc e public; but there aro other matters oa tho minutes c of the Board, or on their table, deeply affecting the { future prosperity of this institution. Tho students f ore in a ferment. Tlicy also have held meetings, a passed resolntions, and corn# to conclusions as well 1 us their governors. Tho dismissed professors have the sympathies of many of tho students, and that sympathy is manifested in the determination of v many of them not to return, nnd in serenading La- b Borde, Reyn his, Barnwell, and Pelham. ns well .. jis by a tin pan compliment to the ex-Prcsi<lctit. j And yet, notwithstanding this contempt lor Mr. j McCoy, so strong is the sentiment of the Board in j his favor, that it is understood tlint every nrofessor ^ who opposed hint was removed, except Rivers, who ( also came very near being decapitated. Il is |?i>sible v that LtBor.le may be reinstated, nut barely so. [ We licar that the Junior Class presented n state- t, meul to the Board, hut were refused a hearing, be | onum: its members had conspired ng>inst the President and wero in rebellion. Their statement will I probably find its. way to the public in pamphlet c ibrm, when further light may bo tlirown upon the ^ transactions which nave summarily arrested the t exercises of tliu College, au I left it almost without v organi la lion. 11 l'ROpTcTlTiJsLK. < The Trustees of the South Carolina College, at their late meeting, chose IU-v.

Col.
