On our return from Columbia we had the plenaarc
of being the bearer ol a beautiful gold-headed
cane, which the young ladies of the Spartanburg
Female College, previous to separating from the '
institution and their late President, presented to ,). ;
Woflord Tucker, K?q,, ns evidence of their appro- '
cintion of hi* devoted labors for their educational
advancement, and n memento of their lasting
f? ndship and regard. The solid head bear* the
following inscription: "To J. Wofford Tucker,

'icuvy euilej hickory, front Lex ngton District?the
head of California gold ? thus connecting
South Carolina with the future field to
which :t i* thought Mr. Tucker design* removing.
And when in after years he sliull steady u not effeminate
form upon the prop thus furnished him
by the love and gratitude of the beautiful nnd the
good, I.c may sola: ' himself wi:h the reflection that
n moral support is evidenced in the gift, and that intelligent
wives and happy mothers are speaking his
praise to loving husbands and blooming children,)
though he is far front the land of Ins nativity and
early labors.
SPARTANBURG FEJALB COLLEGE.
This institution closed it* fall term last week with
an examination of a most satisfactory character
Not only did it exhibit faithful Instruction on the
part of the faculty, but also evinced the possession

professors may with safety return their pupils to
tlieir homes, challenging Iroin parents and guar*
dians high honor (or efficient instruction and uiire* ,
milling toil in eduoatfug tborc committed to their (
earc. - ' - t
As several of the faculty retire from this institulion,
we think it nut inappropriate to say that they ^
leave the College in a highly prosperous condition, ']
nnd with a bright future. To J. WofTord Tucker,
<eq., much of tli s success is attributable*. 1 le went '
into the institution when it was in the woods and |
hut no building teiiniitable. His energy and practical
ability pushed tlio buddings to completion ? ?
drew together pupils?centred a wide interest in its
Huoccits?and made it an established fact. He leaves j
it with the regret of the community and his pupils, j
nn<l with a catalogue numbering one hundred and j
twenty-sewn studeius. Go where he may, his path
in life will be smoothed hy the recollections cluster- j
jug around the |>eriod which lie spout within tinwalls
of the Female College, and by the sure knowledge
that prayers from the pure brai ls of guile v
lets females are constantly ascending to Cod for his *
prosperity lu this hie, nod an immortality of bless I
ednees hereafter.
We notice in our exchanges that t! e price of "
hogs is coming down, lu Greenville, last week, a |
drove passed through at 7 J cents?the cifru ns, nc- i \
cording to the Enterprise, net being willing to buy ! <

Tie Shelby people bare high hopes tluit they w ill True

On Monday wo started tor Lincnluton. This is
n old stniul-stdl town. The day was "raw und .

CoJ. Mcmminger, Chairman of the Committee of smg!
IV ays and Mesas, has introduced the following re- lioar
ofutions iuto the Legislature on the subicct of .
- * ana I
feaks: dc0t.
1. Reiolttd, That the issue cf Note* ns currency rr?r*

f live per cent, per annum upon the circulation ol Youi
nch suspended Bank, and the Slate should insist maki
ipon payment of the same," so long us the Banks tivu i
hull continue to refuse payment in specie. khoul
2. That tha paying out by the other Hunk* of lit
lie notes of the suspended Kinks ia in effect the whicl
?aue by iliem of a ih pr-ciated currency in thesteud tha c
f their own notes, redeemable in cvin, nnd is u 1 open

3. Thnt the supposed convertibility of Hank toun
lotes into coin nt the pleasure of the holder h ta is in
ilherto U rn rehed upon to secure their use as cur- iqan
ency; hut Iho suspension now in existence exhibits Mi
lie failure of th s security nnd rcnJcra necessary n ! Modi
raort to ineriivsed securities. guug<
4. That one of t'-e ehiel causes of these consul- in>gb
ions is to bo lound in the power to expand and not I
ontrset the currency, which is exercised nt pietiree
re by cvtry Hank ol iwoir, and that the first step that
wards prevention should be to hunt or withdraw ledge

5. That a withdrawal of tho power would in- the is

r< quired the Fro Tenuis t? keep their house*

purpose* was rejected; it n fence or gats tell
i, tbe money was finked for and obtaiutd. By
ropoaed mo le, when money was wanted, tbe
tecs would apply to tbe Legislature,
if x.i:d it took annually tin thouamiJ dollars to

vane dock, hut iu about throe ruinuus she bad sunk J, j1
i tn that deck. The scene of wild uonfusiou utxi die- 2 '
j nny which thru presented itself beggars alt de- 9
scriptiou. Tbo hfo boat was cut away nnd some
lifiot n or twenty junqxa iuto her, and others jnmpe<l
into one of tbo quarter boats, ubeu both boat* g_ 1
started for tho Galveston, then wane dislatiee froin
tho wreck. (At this time 1 did nut see tho Gal- !
veston, and was totally unconscious of the causu of ? J
tbo disaster.). Tbo life boat, before reachiug tbe 2
Galveston, was capsized, nnd sevcrul of the pusscu- 2
g< rs sank to riee no more. 1 held on to the iters "
of the Opeloasae, and while iu that (xwitioo true
joim d by the second engineer. 1 Ids officer l?d se- i]
cured a plank, which enabled him to show off from ?- '
the wreck. 1 did not do so, believing the Opelou- ^
1 wis won aground. In n few moments, however, the
Opelou*as, frotn the wqigbt, I suppose, of her ins- r*
{ t him ry, Lr<>ke in two and turned bottom upwards, '
Seeing the Gtdvotun in tbo distance I struck out o |'
f..r her, and after swimming I think about a quar | (
tor of a mile, 1 was picked up by one ot the Gal- 3 I.
ventou's boats. Captain Edn-, who was cbnging to * (
a piiougue bottom, was ;iU> picked up at tbe Same 5*
lime. The first eagiuurr, bis wife, a man whose r* 1
name I do not recollect, t<ro negro boys, and some g '
others, I believe, clang to* portion of tbe wreck, 3
after she turned bottom upward*, until d flight, I
when they were picked up. A Mexican, name not ^ p
kuon n, who turd rescued a little boy, was ulso f?ond ^ '

the boy nr# among tlie saved. y .
