Reluse to Take Their Own Pills. The action of the Board of Trustees of the South Carolina University, on Fri day, demands a word at our hands. Had they simply accepted the resignations of Drs. Talley, Gibbes and LaBorde, we should have had nothing to complain of. But they have accompanied the accep tance with a statement of satisfaction that the professors have withdrawn. They " cannot regret," they say, *' that a spirit so hostile," <fec., "will no longer be rep resented in the University." t This com.. moot upon resignations is unheard of in the history of the College, and, were there nothing else to show it, demon strates the degradation to which the in stitution is tending. The imputation ind the sin is that the professors resign - sd on account of the admission of Secreta ry Hayne as a medical student. How the lotion of the professors ought to be con sidered, will-appear more clearly in the Light of one or two facts which we find it profitable to recall, and which we com mend to the consideration of the. board. This is not the first of Hayne's feats in ibis way. Being almost white, and yet representing the black race, he is a good wedge to open the way for it into new places. A few years ago, he appeared, me bright Sunday morning, at the com munion table of Christ Church, the pul pit of which was occupied by Rev. Mr. Babbitt, and the members of which were principally Northern people resident 1?re and a few natives who particularly *y m pat hised with them. Upon the ap iroach of Hayno, a member withdrew, ihubbub ensued, and the Mission Church >f Mr. Babbitt went incontinently to ueccs. No more services were held in t Tho Northern people-who'Composed -he congregation would go no more. They *">n\r1 not w " --"?building ir wunmune ai rh: saan :-t!'?? wita -J ny ?..'.. . "y, h?njsei? described] . t.. ? tv??vi iVhut think you 01 HIM,, ?1_.eura Tr US ces? And what do you think of Mr. Babbitt, who caved in so ingloriously ou li? negro question, at a time aud uuder -ircumstances when courage and princi pe were demanded. The negro is strone: low, and so ?M Mr. Babbitt; but it would lave beeu considered moro manly any where else thau in the Radical party, to lave stood l>oldly by his black brother, .vhen he more needed recognition and lupport Again. We have it upon the best au thority, that a considerable number of Northern residents here-new and old joiners-intended to send their sons to :he College, If it bad not taken tho un fortunate turn it has. Now that the fore runner of a black invasion hus gone in, they havo abandoned that intention. They were willing to entrust their sons to Messrs. Barnwell, Rivers, LaBorde, Faber, &c., upon the prospect of only white students attending, but are posi tively determiued to withdraw them from their successors and their allies, with the expected irruption of colored students. Such a disregard of " the wel fare of the State, as well as of the dic tates of justice and the claims of our common humanity," such an unwilling ness to stand by the colored man and take him cordially by the hand, on the part of those Northern people, shows a lamentable inconsistency between pro fession and practice. Will the Board of Trustees think on these things?-Colum bia Phoenix. English Emigration to the United States. The Anglo-American Times, of Sep tember 13th, believes that 44 emigration on a large scale from England to tho United States" has begun. It Bays 9 The English agriculturist has found that he may toil here to better purpose than in his nativo village, and his expatriation will steadily increase to large propor tions." Mr. Geo. Grant has just.taken a large colony to a tract of 540 square miles in central Kansas, extending from Smoky to Salina Valley. R. W. Edis, F. s. A., latoly President of the Agricul tural Society of London, lays out tho central settlement, that is to be called Victoria City. Scott Skirring, late i res ident of the Edliuburgh Agricultural Society, is a colonist, and Mr. Grant has sold thirty square miles of the land to gentlemen of distinction-scions of whose families are to go out by and by. The London Working Men's Farming Asso ciation took eight square miles. Some of the finest English cattle have been shipped, and Aberdeen bulls are to im prove Texas stock. Stone houses have been- erected at $2, 000 and under, and if further examina tion affirms what has been reported, the whole tract wi'1, be settled directly.. Mr. W. W. Clari*e hos gone to San Francisco in behalf of tba Union Land and Immi gration Bureau, of London, with a capi tal of $1,000,000, to be increased to $5,000 000. His scheme is to have the disposition of 50,000,000 acres in all parts of this country, placed in the hands of the bu reau to sell to the emigrant and superin tend his removal. Thus it is Been that Virginia is not the only. State which is now receiving English immigrants. Those going Into Virginia, however, ap pear to do so wholly on Individual ac count, and not through any immigration bureaus or associations. *--.-.lt,!. ?? ?9?

If there is another as handsome.ve do not know ol it It is of brick, fi\ stories in height and of vast proportits,."with Mansard roof, iron columns, pilcos and veran dahs, and every applhce of modern art for cleanliness, comi? and luxury.

Weave not space for any history of the Aust? Orphan Asy lum, even if we kir it.

' Addressing the people of Virginia re cently, Hon. R. M. T. Hunter said: "I well recollect that, in the inter view at old Point Comfort between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward on the one hand, and Commissioners of the Con federate States (of whom I was one) on the other, this subject of compensation for the emancipated slaves was introduc ed by Mr. Lincoln himself. He said that a prominent citizen of the North whose name, if given, would probably surprise us, had written to him to say that if the slaves were emancipated, the sum of $400,000,000 ought to be distribu ted among their former owners by way of compensation. The money, as weil as I remember, was proposed to be given to the States in proportion to the number of negroes freed within their borderai and by them to be distributed among the individual owners. That this would have been a very inadequate compensa tion for 4,500,000 slaves is evident to all. But who can estimate the relief which it would have afforded to the despoiled and stricken South; if distributed among them just after the war, it would have been of inestimable value. Mr. Lincoln said he had no authority to speak for any one but himself, but he himself was in favor of it. Upon this Mr. Seward expressed some impatience, saying that the Government paid enough in the ex penses of the war, which I suppose he felt to have been waged for negro eman cipation-a poor excuse to bo made in regard to the claims of any of the States, but none, certainly, in the cases of Ken tucky, Missouri, Maryland and Dela ware, which never seceded, and were njvereven called rebellious. To this, Mr. Lincoln replied with equal earnest ness : 'I know you all say that it was sinful to hold slaves, and, as there was no right to do so there is no justice in the claims for compensation. Now,' said he, 'if it was a sin in the South to hold slaves, it was a sin in the North to sell thom, which they did to a very great ex tent, as we all know.? " The orator fien spoke at some length to prove this last assertion of Mr. Lin coln, quoting in its support from Mr. Dabuey's- "JDol'ense of Virginia and of : the South," *nd said: "There was no point of view in which we could be con- : iidered as deprived of the claim to com pensation. If we were still citizens, and : States within the Union, the spoliation ; was unconstitutional, and we were cer iainly eutitled to some compensation for j iamage sustained. If we were separate | i.id independent belligerents, such au , ict of plunder was not justified by the 1 aws of war, and we were entitled to I ?? >r>mnflnsatioii upon the precedents of ] . . . ,...'?.' -i . .;? . .

The organ of the South Carolina Radi cals-ths Columbia Union Herald-is sorely troubled because three of the Pro fessors in the University of the State pre ferred to resign their position? rather than teach a colored man who had been admit ted to the institution. We can see noth ing in these resignations to excite the ire of the oigan. On the contiary, they are the legitimate result0 of attempted amal gamation in the schools. If the ring gov ernment of South Carolina thinks that it can force ?ocial equality upon the whites .of the State it is vastly mistaken. The laws of God and of Nature cannot be changed or abrogated by the edicts of ,a carpet-bag administration. The powers which rule and ruin our sister State can, by the enactment of odious laws and br the exercise of brute force, make the schools and colleges of South Carolina ad mit colored men within their walls, but I neither laws or physical power can com pel white students or white professors to I remain. When the colored men enter the J whites will retire, and establish institu tions of their own. The consequence of this line of policy will be the destruction of all State schools and universities instead of benefit to the colored race, as these philanthropic carpet baggers and scalawags assert. We do not wish it understood that we are among those who oppose the education of the colored people. We be lieve that they should be educated. We believe that they should be given equal advantages with the whites. But we do not believe in mixed schools. Wherever they ore attempted harm will come of the experiment Ihe whites will not tolerate, th? blacks do not desire them.-Chronicle & Sentinel. A Sad Picture. It is no longer to be disguised that the people of the South generally, and of this State particularly, are quite indifferent, if not favorably inclined, to the scheme of continuing Grant in the Presidency for another term. Ctsarism and centralism have no terrors to them in the desolate condition to which they have been brought by the vain efforts to arrest their march If their situation can be alleviated, and there seems to be no other hope, by a sub mission to any extension and increase of the power of the federal government, they will do more than yield such submission they will rejoice in it. We cheerfully sur render all claims to any political influence or participation in the political ontrover sies and party contests in the nation if thereby we can have our personal righto secured as they are in the empires and monarchies ol' the Old World. Grant may freely seize the sceptre, if he will on ly wield it for our protection against out rages, wrongs and desolation, such as no Jespot, in modern times, has dared to in flict upon a civilized people. Protect us from tue crushing taxation, the wide-spread irruption, the spoliation and confiscation which are rapidly sapping the founda tions of our society and consigning our neople to poverty and desolation.

The Justice said, ' All right," and enquired their names Lfter being told, it struck him that he had lerformed the same service for the lady ome years before.

The orms are not butchered and skinned, but e dried whole, and the Yankees have in cited a machine to kiri them without .eaking the skin.
