Oil Saturday morning last, between two
tlireo o'clock, tlic wood shop of J. A. Fowl
On rings Factory was discovered to be on fire;
the ptoinpt exertions of n negro man, hclongin
Mr. . Bowie, who chaneod to be up, frustrated
diabolical design of burning up the premises,
it not been for this fortunate circumstance, not <
would Mr. Fowler's shops have ben destroyed,
his house and adjao^ut dwellings would have <
tributod to a destructive conflagration. As 110

fact of design is patent, and some effort sh

SOUTHERN \V) >OftTIII!KN SIMTHSMKN. .?
From a period anterior to llio Constitutional or- *
? gutiitntiou of tliu Government to tho present time c
there hua existed a wide contrast between tho pu- 11
rity and comprehensiveness of Northern and South- *
* em statesmauship. The farmer has usually exhib- *
ited the contraction of interest in originating or c
in a elaborating public measure*, while the latter has 1
riet *ri??trat?*l patient and honest inquiry after truth *
id a ?n governmental science. The capacity of the public "
WBB men of the two sections was early demonstrated. c
rra. When n Declaration of Independence was to be ^
framed, in phrase mid form, in all essential purlieu- c
[)u?- 'i,rsi f',tJ P*-'n of Jefferson alone performed tho great | v
it ol um' ptlf'oiio work. When the Articles of Confed- | ?
, co ( ru,'on censed to operate satisfactorily, (and it is
and worthy of note that the first objections to their ?
practical working came from Rhode Island, and r
i us- were based upon a supposed unequal effect upon tho '
jxist commercial States?herself in particular, bccnusc 5
asos exclusively devoud to maritime pursuits,) and it ^
eat- w,w ''coined necessary to modify them to remove
grounds of complaint, and invest fuller and more
independent powers in the general government, the
name of Washington wan invoked to presido over
and, the convention to frame a Constitution and coin's
of mem] it to tlie approval of the Slates, and Southern
urg, talent was, besides, largely enlisted in its prepata- I
be- tioii. Indeed, not to multiply details, more than
igod one-half of the leading executive and judicial |*>m
and tiuns of the country, froin the adoption of the Conrtod
| stitution to this day, have been filleJ by Southern
intd ; men, notwithstanding the great disparity of populaand
| (ion between the two geographical divisions of our
Duld i land. Tito North is fully aware of this fact, and has
iiag | Inveighed against it ill no measured terms, as aeon'
cession of party to the slavery oligarchy; tho South
recognises the compliment, und is pleased that her
1 moral and conservative position gives her this
al1^ j weight in the confederacy. Rut there is a eau*e
'<-r 8 I for this discrimination deeper than the surface. The
^ul concession is not to more locality, or occidental po^
lo i litieui strength, to be tnrtied in a given direction.
| Rut it results from, and is attributable to, the fact
"lu' that the sons of the South posses* those accomplish0,1
^ ! inents of mind and heart necessary for eminent

Iwnys been an honor and a blessing to the State, ^
ut whoso glory, alas! is now departing?not lor- f

as been manifested by tbe people in the afl'.ors of j

L-(cr you to the paper for the precise language,but j
lint is the substance of the statement, if the words '

leuisclvcs bo nut exactly quo'ed. The Ch-nhston , ^
lourier is really "savage*' in relation to the action '
f the students, anil does not hesitate to style them i
rebellions" und "contumacious," nud says that

e stated, that a pamphlet, containing the report o1 I
Committee of tlie Junior Class and Students of the .
Jollege to the Board of Trustees (which, however, '
lie latter would not receive) Il ia been publikhed in j
oinphict form; and this it is which the Courier alLidcs
to above. Mr. McCoy 'a friends say that
ic will not noticu that pamphlet, since the Trustees
o handsomely sustained hnn in the contest (it it .
nay be so termed) with members of the Faculty, and
inec Ins ctinroeter is too well established to be iu- ,
ured by ex parle statements.
It does not become us to side with either party
n this matter. We have u high regard for Mr. Mc- ,
Jay, great respect for the Trustics, and our best j
nd dearest friends are among the students. Still, !
re must say, that many reports are in circulation i
broad relative to Mr. McCay which arc |Hisittvily I f
Illtruc. The proceedings of the stndi ills have becu
xaggerated, ami ruinor has ascribed to the nollemiiiim
many acts they never hoard of?inueli less

to the public, nnd is a legitimate subject ^

Columbia, Junk 18, 18o7.
Mv Dear Spartan: To my labors sometimes,
ind sometimes to my laziness, you nro to attribute
he long periods of my silence; so that if my letters
ire not welcome. Tike the measles and scut let fever,
hey come but seldom.
The bold and chivalrous citizens of Columbia,
villi a single exception, have passed unhurnud the
iery ordeal of Saturday last. Prophets predicted
he destruction of the?world by fire on that day, and
islroiiomera pointed out tlio ageut of the deatruoion,
crying out, heboid it oometli! The comet
vith n fiery tail hath already eulercd the neighbormod
of our globe! Wo stand on the brink of deitructioii!
Yet, as Iw/oro remarked, we stood un- j
noved amid impending dangers, und smile<l even
it the threatened anudrhition of surrouud'iig worlds!
from the exhibition of the noble uud daring there
vas. a!n?! one exception. A Frenelunnn, as I utilerstood
liim to be, who once had a narrow escnfw
rum a burning ship, and bad rather an nnliputhy
o bo burned alive, slipped into u well on Saturday
norning, where he could ace unharmed the world
n u bla*>-; and, after all was over, como forth like
inoilK-r Noah, not in and from the flood, but from
be fire. But, alas! the well was uot to secure a
dace as the nrk?there was too much water there; j
In- Frenchman wan drowned. An inquvM wan
teld over hii body, and he wan buried on Sunday
tvcniug.
The pastime of burning houses on Subbath nights
s slid kept up nmongst its?a couple of t-hoj* U-iiw
the ciiy having thus been destroyed on the
light of liMt Sabbath. Our worthy City Council, f
villi the rest of the citizens, have come to the Con I
lusioti that men pre pan themselves for thcev pracices
at the grog chops, and that it would be good
silicy to cloee these places on Sundays, but, nlhough
convinced of tin* wisdom and humanity o'
uuli a course, our "Council'' seem to be (as yet) j
ifraal of n many-beaded monster called "I'uLlic \
Opinion," and almost shad ier at the recital of his
ouquests. After having slain his thousands in

CRABBK'S MINORA KXPBOITIOV
IVihaps lite di? 'ruus result of Walker and |
Crabbe'a expeditions?the one to Nicaragua ft"d I
tlie oilier to the Mexican State of Soaora?will have
the happy effect of stopping further filibustering
attempts. The facility with which these expeditions
can be gotten up, and the rase with which they
can leave our shores, is a reproach on our government.
If the laws cannot prevent them, new nud
stringent ones should be enacted. Peaceful cx|?trintion
is allowable and lawful. Hut when it is notorious
that the purpose of emigration is to harass
mid annoy n national neighbor, the whole weight of
government authority should bo exerted to retrain
our citizens. The right to do this is in our treaties, '
if not in organic laws. If our people will run
their neckt into danger, they most be content to
bear the consequences, nor look to government for
relief.
The recital below has caused a thrill of indignation
not only in California, where most of the persons
were known, but also in the Atlantic States.
It is horriblo?but wo think no law-abiding man
should be stirred by pruricut sympathy foi the reckless
and lawless:
Tho California papers give a full account of the
massacre of Col. II. C. Crabbe, of that Slate, mid j
fifty-seven of his fillibustcring party, in Soiiora,
Mexico. He went, it appears, to Soiiora, under circumstances
similar to those attending \\ alker'j advent
into Nicaragua, as his design wus to aid a faction
lighting against the government. So certain
was he of a welcome froin l'crqucirn, the insurgent
chief with whom he had a previous understanding,
that ho wrote to his friends in California on the 85th
March, stating that ho "expected, upon reaching
A'to, the independence of Sonnrn would he declared
" While he was on Ins way, however, and before
arriving in the State, tho contending factions
were harmonized, and Isith turned their armies
against him. lie attacked the town of I_iv.kh, garrisoned
by 4,500 Mexicans, on tho 1st of April.
The account of his tragic end, from that point, is ns
follows:
The Mexicans at first deserted most of the town,,
hut gradually being emboldened, returned and
gradually hemmed tho Americans in. Fighting
continued e glit days, with u loss to the Americans
ol twenty-five killed. The Mexican loss is reported
by themselves to have been twenty-live, hut is supposed
It have been much greater, as ligli as two
hundred, On the eighth day ail attempt was made
by two of Cruhbe's nn-n to blow up the church, by
placing a keg of powder under the portico and firing
it The devoted men who nt*< mpted tins were
Irotli k'ilcd. and (TuUbc is said to have been wounded
in su|m-i intending it. It is sad an offer was
made by Crnbbe to retire if the Mexicans would allow
it. He had refused to retire when the offer
was imide him, niter the fighting had continued
two da\s, and now the Mexicans n?tifi,t?w?? ?o"
lis wciktii'M nn.i their triumph, refused. The :
Americans were gradually but surely caught in a j
snare, from which tliey raw n<> escape.
Hy breaking through the wall ot the adjoining
houses, the Mexican* forced (Jrabbe nnd hi* mcti
