SOUTH CAROLTXA COLLEGE. Our Columbia i xchunges furnish us all the intelligence wo have as to the action of the Bocird of Trustees of tho South Carolina College at the late "'occasional meeting"?tho necessity for which grew out of College difficulties that led to tho resignation of President MeCay and misunderstandings between liim utid the Faculty. The Trustee* heard statements from both parlies, and by formal resolution express tho opinion that there exists no issue of vornoity between President nud Professors, and that he stands exonerated from all imputation -Dpoti his character, and retains their confidence in his purity and integrity. The resolution relative to tho Professors is less broad?merely saying that the "Board perceives uo ground for any cliargc aflfeoting the honor or integrity of any one of them." The Delphio phraseology leave* room for an inferenoe stronger tlian tho affirmation; but wo cannot believe that that was the design of the Board. To (roc themselves from embarrassment in legislating for the College, the remaining members of the faculty were requested to resign, with which request they promptly complied. It is the design of the Board to rcorgauiso the institution in its faculty and curriculum. To this end a committee was detailed to report to tlic Board in November next. This is pretty much the sum of what is made public; but there are other matters on the iniuutes of the Board, or on their table, deeply affecting the future prosperity of this institution. Tho students tire in a ferment. They ulso hnvu held meetings, ?passed resolutions, and coniu to conclusions as well us their governors. The dismissed professors have the sympathies of mnny of the students, and that sympathy is manifested iu tho determination of many of them not to return, and in serenading La* Horde, Reynolds, Barnwell, and Pelhant, as well -as by a tin pan compliment to the ex President. And yet, notwithstanding this contempt tor Mr. McCoy, so strong is the sentiment of the Board ill his favor, that it is understood that every professor who imposed him was removed, except Rivers, who also canto very near being decapitated, it is possible that LaBordc may l?e reinstated, hut barely so. We hear that the Junior Class presented a statement to tho Board, but wore refused n hearing, be onu!*e its member* had oonspired ngiiust thoPivM?l?rnt and wcro in rebellion. Their statement will probably find its. way to the public in pamphlet form, wijen further light may bo tlirown upon (lie transactions which Ituvo summarily arrested tlio i exercises of tlio College, nu 1 left it almost without j organization. prop." cTiTlJslk. The Trustees of the South Carolina College, at their la to meeting, oh< we li?-v. W'hitefoord Smith, 1). D., of Wollhr.t College, Professor of Sucred literature. If Dr. B-oilh accepts, this notion will remove n valuable professor from our college. A writer in the Columbia papers, signing himself "A Graduate,'* proposes to the Trustees the ekcrtion of Prof. Carlisle to the chair of mathematics in the South Carolina College. If is claims and tjuali ideations are thus stated by "OriiiliMlc." "Professor Carlisle is a native of South Carolina | ?a graduate of the South Carolina College of I itlie Class of 18-11, of winch he received the second honor, Maj. (Jen. I'. II.

Hut a brief jicriod before tbu death of Mr. (Jalbouu, great Uiind was elaborating ex|>odienU to avert the catastrophe of a disruption of ihu American Confederacy. Ho died, however, boftjc? giving voice to Ilia c-.ir.ecptious, and only hinted the nature of liia plan to thoao in hia aick room. Common consent attributed to him tlio design of no amending tlio constitution as to provide for two Presidents?a Soutlicru and Northern?with boi*?rate Executive prerogatives; yet oven his warmest friends regarded this idea as visiouary and impracticable. From that day to this Soutlicru writers have multiplied suggestions for. tlio pacification of the sectional controversy to no practiua! purpose. Hut how could it bo othtrwiscT The North is settled in determination uot to niter the organic laws which allow latitude of construction (or continued assaults upon the political and social rights of their neighbors of the South, and they possess tlio power to defeat till attempts to coni|>o>s such needful changes in the constitution as would define Southern rights and muku them secure. But even assuming that a conservative element existed at the Nortli to render a change possible, the South itself is not united in sentiment upon any one effective plan?neither litis it confidence that a change, if effected, could for any length of lime harmonise tlio discord which Ins marked the history of our country (or the past thirty or forty years. With this conviction, ultra minds have labored to bring the jieoplc of the South to n contemplation ol of separate political existence. Tliiiy indeed, is the only way to settle tlio quvvtioti at issue Involved in slavery. Ah to the Slates, no power resides in the Government to interfere with it, however williugly abolitionism would iittempt to meddle. The questions which open lliu subject to fanatic agitation arc its extension to the territories and the recovery o( fugitives. The decision of the Supreme Court and legi-latiou by Congress have settled both these points in our favor so far as legal principles are concerned. Hut not so the practical. Modern cololuxation mid the cx< rcisc of perverted Stale authority have entirt-lv set uaide the local riclits of the South, and frustrated the advantages designed to accrue ij us I?v the laws. Time was when jcoi ssion might have achieved a glorious triumph, and insured both pence and security?in or out of the Union. Hut that time has passed away, and to human prescience it is not allotted to predict its return. With no hope iu the future hut continued dissension, what is to be done? Shall we live on like the f ol, who has no care beyond the moment, or shall we seek a remedy while we possess freedom of notion? If the fornn r, cease agitation, and leave to events the dcvcl>?pmcut of remudi- h for occurring evils; if the latter, let mnstcr minds suggest a plan of movement, on a practical issue, and rouse the South to a proper appreciation of tlicpoli'ieal necessity requiring action. Ix'l us have pence or war. Wo have been led to tliesj remarks by recent discussions upon the question of secession by the papers of this Slate, and particu arly by an article iu tin- last Yorkvillc Knquiier, from which (without endorsement) wc make an extract: '"There is only one plan which lias ever been suggested, to wliich there can be no valid objection, which embr.Cis the entire groond; which is as comprehensive as the evil which it promises to eradicate; which is statesman like ill its etlieacy and completeness; which is a natural remedy, and opposed neither to the laws of economy nor the dictates of prudence. That remedy is the creation of two nations of the present ponderous and discordant one. We object to the size only, as far as it produces geographical differences and contrary interests. And this is another reason in invor ol our remedy?for there is no other one which will meet it completely and succetsfully. Once divided, and it will be to the interest of the South to tm.te w'uli the North, and the latter will bo compelled to give uk her trade in a manner sanctioned hv justice and equity. Wc do not believe there in any other remedy?we have no faith iu the statesmanship which (mints the South in any other direction, and we think it hut justice to ourselves, honorable to our forefathers, and advantageous to posterity, to bring about this issue now when we are able to effect it, peaceably and successfully."

The following notice of their visit to A tl iuta, G.i., is taken from the IZxuminrr, of May 20, and we think tlio incident worthy of no ticc.

A class almost lo themselves, eut off from wider social intercniiise, they are forced to more intimate association, and h am to hear and forbear with each others'infirmitim, and practice larger charities than the rest of the world.

Politically wo do not 4 champion Col. Orr. Ilia political views are wvll I known, and lie is over prompt, au pro|?er occasions, to give them full and free expression. VVe, however, defend him on the More of friendship; and because ho is our Representative, aud luta boclt long 1 houorcd with the eoufidence of this uud hia entire v Congressional District, and can retain his present ' relation so long as St ploaves him; and because, fur- 1 titer, lie is absent from home, and may nut huvcopport unity even to sec thv el urge implied in the 1 above. 1 Col. Orr has for years occupied an isolated po- c si lion before th?- |K<oplo of llic State, and his assumed unpopularity induced some of hia Colleagues (whose sentiments were kindred to his own) to sinnd and not aloof from him. Indeed, we believe thv Speakership of the Into Congress would havo been secured to Col. Orr but for the fact that the South Carolina delegation refused to enb-r the canens of nomination. Vet, in the midst of all this obloquy and mistrust, ho never faltered in the avowal of his sontiineiils or hesitated in following llto* lino of public duty his judgment dictated. Upon no part of his pant life need ho look buek with mortification or shame, unless it be to that time when the insane trickery of the ultra Suite Rights jmrty seduced even Mr. Calhoun for a brief time into the ranks ol tho Taylor Democracy. Col. Orr,listening to similar appeals, yielded his judgment for ouOo?and only once; and his action then has fur- ' , nssiicd a stereotyped theme for assault from those 1 who enmeshed him iu their toils, liver since he has thought and acted for himself, and lb lends to do so for the future.

While, ns he supposed, ho was acting with thu honesty of i n man and the fuith of a statesman, ho is told at home that he was catering to the prejudices of j Northern I lemocrats to secure their support to elc ' rate him to the Speakership!
