TEl SOUIE CAROIA COLLE . The Board of Trustees adjourned on Thurs day ni ht, '*aer a long session. The affairs of the Co egoeand the previous action of the Board were thoroughly discussed, many members be. ing present who were not at the former meeting. The result is'that the old Faculty proper has been reinstted-the late President being alone omitted in the reorganization-thus giving a full viudiiation to the former in the dilliculties which, have occurred. Some changes have been made-in the occupancy of the chairs which re mained to be filled-the following being the present arrangement of them. d / Prof. M. LaBorde, Metaphysics, Logie and "Ph siooy. .K 'ro.'". L. Reynolds, Roman Literature. Prof. C. P. Pelham, list6ry and Political Philosophy.. Prof. R. W. Barnwell, Jr., Sacred Literature, and the Chaplainny. The professorial duties of the President of teaching Astronomy and Trigonometry have been assined to the Profs. Leconte, who teach Algebra,liechanical Philosophy, &c. We have not heretofore expressed any opinion as to the merits of the questions involved in the late issues, but being cognizant of them in their whole course, we caunot but express our convic tion that, the Board has acted judiciously and with a proper regard for justice in the course it has pursued. Wo trust that the friends of the College will concentrate all their influence in support of the institution, and that it will soon he restored to its former prosperity. -The Board has, we think, very properly postponed action it relation to the'Presiden'ey until December, when wre hope a selection will be made which will secure the public ednfidence. Until then the Faculty is authorized to select a chairman to act as Presi dent. The exercises of the College will be resumed on the first Monday in October. -86OUE CABOLINA COLLEGE.

TunBAviSo MW T PAste.--In the year 19 when London was suffering from a money-paiue like that which now prevails in the American cities, when every man that met another had anxious inquiries to make as in time of~ pesti lence, and when there seemed to be little or no hope of relief, Lord John Russell, who was then Premtier, went to the Bank of England. He said to those in authority that it was the business of the Bank to prevent and to cure panies, not to promote them, and that whatever course they might pursue for the public relief, they migrht rely upon the support of the Government. is cotafident tone re.assured themt; they changed their policy at once; the Batnk became liberal, and almost immediately business returned to its natural healthy e->ndition.

When an editor 'goes a journey,' it is generally c peted that he will tell about it in his paper. We pi coed accordingly to reeldl some circumstances, fiv and incidents of our recent flighty trip to New Yoi (Andl the reader is hera at liberty to construe the wei '- lighty"- either in the sense of nchimalcul, or of has -or both.) THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. Leaving Augusta one morning about four wen ago, we were soon in the cars of the S. C. Railro: This, one of the oldest railways in America, is ec tninly also among the very best. Its present mi agement is nearly comlete. The running, thou not quite so fast as upon some other Roads, is as co fortable and socuro as any. North or South. T conductors are aceomodating and clover. (Maaro: and CntzWS ospecia~y haveno superiors in their pnrtment.) Theo's are good. The engines Idire the host workmanship. The engineers are sobera faitful, which is b~est proved by the regularity their trips and the very limited number of accidei which occur on thne Road. And, lastly, the attenti of the stewardesses, in supplying ice-water and reif ion!.. is always such as gratilies the wany-worn trav ler. This last feature, by the way, we observe carcely any of the roads further North. Andl whn it is attemopted, we have found it but poorly execut: Genrally, on the Northern roads, a .jar of ice-wa is located in the centre of each car, which nont uni quently is exhausted before the run is mnure than b ccomplished ; and tihe passcngers may then gut wan as they can. But upon the S. C. Road, the supply ie:- is always unfailing and the stewardess prompt the lnst in waiting uponi all who inys hint their winu end especially upon thne ladie. We think this Li of attention highly commnendable; fonr, of nli ti in summer travel upon railways,-i pure glass of e< water. now aind then, is sure'ly the most grateful a beneicial. KINGSVILL E.

Dear A,/vergiser:-ln " these weak piping times if peace," a paragraph announcing a great battle 1d bloody tragedy, may not be altogether without. uterest to your read.rs; and,as one-half the world ias a thirst for, and constant craving after " the tewest news "-exciting; bloody; desperate news! feel assured what I am about to relate will be levoured as a precious morsel by some of your -hivalric patrons. Honcy-Gall-asmall settlement eventeen miles from our city andin Glynn Coun y, was, on Tuesday morning last, about the hour f 10, the scene of one of the most deadly con licts and bloody tragedies In the annals of a law .biding civilized community. It appears that the ielhborhood had for some years been annoyed vith a band of thieves, whose practice it was to ive upon the farrrs and stock of the honest citi ns of the vicinity. These thieves had succejs rully eluded the vigilance of the sufferers, and es :aped the punishment prescribed. by the Statute antil at last, their ,induct becoming intolerable, ind their depredations alarming to the community, t was determined, on the part of the good citi ;ens around Honey-Gall, to remove them at al inzards, and without the aid of the law. In pursuance of this determination a band 01 egulators (a term well understood i' Florida, Ualifornia, and some of the Western States,) was rwganized some days ago, and on Friday last pro :eeded to notify certain parties that their presene n the country could no longer be tolerat, d, :'ne that they must take themselves away by Tuesday (last Tuesday) or submit to the law of force ; tha! an that day they must leave the country eithe' peaceably or otherwise; and that for their crops stock, &cc., they should receive an equivalent; anti .lso have their passage paid on the steamer, tr ny point to which they might desire to emigrate. Among the parties thus notified there was a mari by the name of Moses Hlornsby, and his family wife, one grown son, Mike, and three small chil ilren. Mose thought of the.matter and Coneluded aot to o;..but still led. the RegulatrtoAblieVt Lhat lie wouild go willingly. Ho played the old sol lier on them however, as the sequel will show. At the hour of 10, on Tuesday morning, four teen of the Regulators apipeared before Hornsby'r door-twelve of them with guns, and two unarmed One of the two who was unarmed-a Mr. and Dr Foreman, was made the spokesmen. to do the par. cying with the Hornsby's. le advanced to wvitli a few feet of the door and asked a neighbourins. woman (by the nan:e of Holland who happened ta be there, or was so by design, and who had als' been noatified to leave,) if I'r.

Thme Doctors think it possible that all the wounded, except young liadelif' ant. Mike Horsby, may recover. These two as e prob .ly dead before this hour. The Regulators were all very respectable, peace ble, and reliable men; and while their rceed not be justified, they have the sympathies n ur whole community ; and thme death of Mr. Rupt, is universally regretted. It is a deplora il state of things that forces peaceable and honest ttizens to adopt the " Regulator" system; yet oetimes and under some circumstances it must e done. I do not think such a state of things ,xisted here however, as required such desperate nasures; and while I deeply regret the result, equally regret the fact that our laws and the ights of citizens were so abused-and disregarded. I will not " hang a tail," or append a moral to his melancholy statement of facts. It isalamten able occurrence, and I trust in God It may never ave a parallel. Yours Truly, JBgi~.
