lv the f ill of 18bo, thv founders of t|,
l. ;!? ! College, after mucli rellvctton and
< . resolved to establish at Due ^
H t Corner, 5S. C., an Institution of ^
I. - ntng, which would ntVord <r;xmu- ^
a'ties for pursuing those studies w hieh j f{
are usually taught in Acadmvie* and i
Colleges. Measure* wore immediately t
taken for the rtccoinplishutotH of their I j(
el !'n ISI>C the institution was j j
organized. During the first four years j j
of its existence it was confined to the i r
simple object of tittng young men for (
College. | ,
j?j In tlto fail of 18?7, a resolution was .
taken to give the Institution a collegiate J
from, and to extend the course of instruction
so as to make it comprehend those (
studies which appropriately belong to (
Colleges. Arrangements were at once' (
made for carrvng this resolution it to of- i .
feet. Three instructors were chosen, a
course of study was adoptedrand the indi- (
viduals to whom were entrusted the in- (
struction and government of the Instruction
and government of the Institution, ,
entered immediately upon the discharge
of the duties of their office. i (
Since that time it has been in sncccsfnl ; t
.operatiotu Five in truc'.??rs are now cm- (
pioyM,convenient ami tasteful buildings'
have heeo OrccJ^d. .lie literary Societies'
of the Institution have done much in1
furnishing their lialia and formeng their
librarian, to which they aro making annual
additions. , *
In addittou to a I'iiilosopliical ami.
Chemical Apparatus, the College is i:>
possession of superior Astronomical In- '
strumenta. An excellent Ivpuitorial Aero-1
inatic Refracting Telescope and a con-1
venieut Comet Seeker offer rational grat- '

Access to the Institution is convenient
by the Greenville au?l Columbia Kail road
which passes within lour miles of the j

naniou Clark was accidentally killed, a
few.l.iy.s since, (says the Darlington /'Any,)
in the lower part of Chesterfield District
ly Tedder of this District. The two!
went out, very early in the inornitu? to
- . ? '
shoot wild tuikies, and having separated, i '
Clark whs, at about the distance of a i
hundred yards from Tedder, crawling on <
his knees; Sedder's attention was attrac-' ,
ted by the agitation of the hushes, and ;
supposing it to he cause*I by tuikii s, he
discharged his ride. On approaching the i
object, he foiin?! thai he had shot his unfortur.nto
comrade, who was mortally
wounded and soon expired. Clark was a *
worthy man and has left a large family f
'Hii> and numerous friends to deplnro his loss. "
"We understand that 110 blame is attach- s.
ed to Tedder, by those who Iiavo investigated
the circumstances. lJut similar

that it is time to inquire w hether they do
not involve culpaple negligence, and in- p

Mr. Editor: One great end ofour World's "
'air has been the dissemination of useful I
now ledge connected with the industrial arts, '
mong our people; the introducing to their 4
otiee the inventions of other lands, and ] '
hus enabling the.1i fo institute comparison's 1
ltd draw practical conclusions for their fatire
benefit. To this we have looked as the '
treat object to be gained by such cosmopoh f
tan exhibitions; and though it mat lYot be '
ully accomplished in olr Crystal1 Palace by
eason of the spnrscuient of foreign eontri- '
utions, vot we cannot help believing that ;
t has taught our artists, manufacturers and I
Mechanics tnany a w hob some lesson. 1
Take lor instance, the department of fancy '
ratings. It lr:s boon fashionable here to
egr.nl bronze as the only material that could j '
jo effectively employed in moulding sta- : 1
uvttes and other works of vcrlu. The op- '
uisite of this has been proved by Grits, of
derlin, whose application of sine to monu- 1
nental statuary has been eminently success- ['
ill and gained for his foundry a wcil-de- j'
terved renown The great advantage of 1
bis material is the pure and perfect state in I '
vhich the castings come from the mould. 1
".very line is developed in the most finished ji
lianticr; the edges are sharp, and the out- ,
inc is Hpirioinl, so that tltvy require but very !
i' tic sub-oqucnt chasing, w hile their cost is !
io rnoro than one-seventh that of hrouz.e. |
[lie metallic surface, moreover, which they j

iron/es of Florence, which have long been |
teemed above all others.
No fairer specimen of the zinc east could 1

Dc Corn, to whose trial for the nwrd-r of j
tigenu Melville, under iny stcrious cireiiin- '
tauecs I made allusions last week, was |
rouglit ir. guilty of manslaughter in the 3rd |
legrec, and has been sj. tence.l to 2 years ,
ud ten months in the State Prison. The I
nry wore out some hours hef. re they could ,
gree, standing at first, it is s.ii<i, *i.\ for oon- : (
ictioti on the charge <?f murder, and six for \
opiitt.il. Before eritcuee ?ra?|ifononntcd ! I

i which he admits the net, hut slates that j ,
e committed it under the apprehension of |
ersonal v iolcnce from Melville, who then,' |
>r the first time carried a cane, which he |
r.tndished in a threatening manner. This \ ]
xplanntion is borne out by the circumstan- j |
Inneos, and there was probably no " malice 1
forethought" in the deed. The peaco and I ,
afety of the coiiiiuuiiity, h ?we"or, have been | |
cry |?roperly v indicated bj the Jury; for sore- [. |
f no mere suspicion of violence afford* a j
lindow of reason for shedding n fellow-eren- (
are's blood. Were such reckless homicides '
! I
emitted, llu earth would soon bo tlepopu. , (
itcd. A number of murder cases still remain
ii our criminal register, the red catalogue (
r?s never fuller. A porter-house keeper, j
amed /Autre was tried, after Def'orn's case (
