iltt. Epi.oit :?Your renders may be interested
in rending a iioc or two from the
iron District, whose Schools and Colleges,
at litis season of '.he year, occupy so ttiueh
of public attention. Tho Commencement
of Wofiurd College took place on the 8th
instant, \\ hen the lirst full class received
the honors of graduation. Their names
ami subjects yon will lir.i iij tlic Sjh;;Ijii
and Express, for both those papers publish* j
ed a full account of the proceedings. Five !
of the six delivered speeches; the sixth was
excused because of indisposition. The |
quiet de'.ner.nor, the uniform good behavior ;
the habits of study and the very sensible i
and excellent speech of Mr. Charles 1'etty .
of this District, to whom was awarded the .
first Honor, hayo won for hijn an tnvia\
1 - - * - -
no n pinaiwt.i. It is well fur an infant in- '
stitulion to sen J out into the world its first
representative, a character pure and prom
ising, and generally esteemed, lie is the '
nephew of Lieut, Gov. Gabriel Cannon, of
Hi is District , who is about to take a tour
through the Northern States, Mr. 1*. bejug
one of his company.
Dr. Wightpun'o Baccalaureate Address i
was one of the best I ever heard, it was |
extemporaneous, therefore cagie warm and 1
fresh, like something alive and to hi. felt,
and really enjoyed?not cold and lifeless
through formality, nor stiff with uroek state*
liness and assumed dignity. It was listened
to with marked attention and gaso very
great satisfaction. Indeed the entire pro.
grntnmc of the day was executed in a manner
that came fully up to the high expect a
lions of tlie friends of the College. The
crowd was very largp, Lyt 113 the Institution ,
is yet too young for the attending auditory j
to contract the naughty habit of whisper- 1
ing and talking during the speaking, a^
beard with ease and interest. The Com
Qiencement sermon was preached on the
Sabbath proceeding by the venerabe I>r.
l.ovick Pierce of Georgia, one of the ablest
and oldest preachers of his Church. Ili.s
preaching ivas instructive, strong and powerful.
His long experience, ripe wisdom?
his position in the Church?his devotion
to institutions of learning and his many
efforts in the cause of truili and religion,
marked liini out as very suitable to stand
God-father at the baptism of this infant
College,at her first Graduating Commencement.
There cannot be any just reason
why the Jlnlls of this seat of learning
should not be crowded with students with
a Faculty not second to any in the Southern
Slates, with buildings in every way suitable
for a battalion of scholars, in a community
of high moral tone?water, air, and
puonntnin scenery, all combining to oflVr
inducements to a j<lacp of health and jdenspre.
With a very successful beginning,
Woflbrd College is sure tu attain a very
exalted position as long as health, science
and good n.oials are objects of desire and
pursuit among men. Already you see representatives
from every section of the State,
and lots and houses in the Village are being
bought u|, and families are moving here
continually, to be near the Schools and Colleges,
attended by their children.
The fact is .Spartanburg is in the line of
promotionA great future is ahead of her.
How can it be otherwise ? Woflbrd College,
and Spartanburg Female Coilcgo of
the Methodist Church, and St. John's Male
School of the Episcopalian, with other
good schools in the Village. Dr. Curtis'
School at I-imestonc Springs, for the Baptist,
whose commencement is just over, and
is one of the best supported schools in the
State. And tho New High School under
the Presbyterian Church, soon to be started
at Rcidsville, and an Asylum for the Deaf
and Dumb aud the Blind, at Cedar Springs,
und then her places of resort, as Glenn
Springs, Kerby Springs and Martin Springs,
and Cowpen Battle Ground, with its new
Monument ; and her mineral resources?
her iron works?her rolling mills?her
limestone and marble quarries, many of
wl.ii'll I ? ! - 1
. .....o men waning , hit vast, wwer
power nnd great productiveness of soil,
ennnct fail Jo l?ring her grent wen' th and
controlling influence over many of the affairs
of the State. To (his region of genurnl
attractiveness, to tfhirh so many resort,
how corues it that Lancaster was not very
fully represented 1 It is true ench of three
liberal professions had a delegite, but
where were those forincily known as the
bachelor bar of the State? What are they
doing in the Idle days of Summer ? Not
studying nor attending Courts ? I know in
the days of Auld l*nng Sync some of them
knew the road hitherwnrd, whep a young
lady of Anderson many yeaff ago, enquiring
into the relative beauties of tho vil
lages in South Carolina, and receiving in
anawe^ that I-aocnster Village was not at
the foot of the clasa, remarked, "Lancaster !
luincastcr!! Where ia that? I never heard
of it. Oh, 1 remember?away over in
North Corolina." If means nnd enterprise
are not adequate to the construction of
Hail Roads, surely thoy ought to be sufficient
to attend College Commencements
nnd grand festival occasions, in neighboring
bittricta.
| Before closing, I should say the coin'
mencement of the Female College also j
I .
came oil' last week. (jov. Means delivered
' the address before the J>e Staid Literary
(Society. It was well received and his
friends think it wcil sustained his repute.,,
t *
lion for speaking and writing, and as a gentleman
of taste and learning, 'ilia President,
J. \V Tucker, has resigned a- d I). C.
'i Taylor eleeted his successor. Or. Whiteford
Smith will not go to t'oluruhia. I lis
friends have manifold reasons to vindicate
the propriety of his decision.

GEN. McftUEElTS LETTEH.
We find in the Sumter \Y<ilchm<tn u letj
ter from Jhe Hon. Joint McQueen, read up.
1 on tlie occasion of the fourth of July doI
monstr.itions at l!ishop\"die. It treats upon |
the leading political quest'iotn of the day,
is plain, spirited, forcible and chara, tcistic
i of tlio man. We regret that its length and
j the late period at which it is received, precludes
the possibility of our laying it before
our readers.
HIE CTROUNA TIMES.
This paper has lately changed hands and
is now conducted by T. S. I'iirgot, Dsn.,
I . - -
I wnosu graceful salutatory ami opening scr'
vices in tliis capacity, argues well for the future
of the Times. We have noticed no
. materia! change in the political character of
the paper.
' John (I. Hovvman, Km] , the. late senior
Editor and veteran Knight of the rjuill, reI
tires from public life, as intimated, for a
J brief period only, soon to reappear in con*
i nection wjth some other paper, the name
! and character of wliieh, is not given.
Mr. H II. Ihitton, the late energetic proprietor
and courteous and j?b!o Kditor of the
Times, devotes himself to nnothci calling,
I P
, which is explained in a card to be found in
another part of our paper.
THE EXAMINER.
I The late Columbia Examiner which was
J one of the beat weeklies in the State, and
the suspension of which occasioned such
, general regret, we aro glad to see, is to be
revived by its former proprietor, W. 15.
Johnston, Esqr., assisted in the 1 .iterary department,
try John <?. Uowrnan, Ksij. We
will endeavor to publish its Prospectus next
j week.
?EOWEE COURIER.
The editor of this paper states tliat this,
the tilth volume of the C'ourjfrr, commences
| under very favorable auspice*, that it is in
a most prosperous condition and is now one
i of tlie permanent institutions of 1'ieken*
District. Wo feel constrained to otter
j friend T (we presume upon the title
from old acquaintanceship) our congiatula*
tions. He has faithfully earned the success
that he has attained, for wo know of no
country prc*a that shows, uniformly, greater
enre and attention, than is bestowed upon
i the Courier by its energetic conductor.
LOCAL INFORMATION.
It has been, and is still, our desire to
make the Ltdgt-r an unfailing reporter of all
the current news * f general wr special interest
in our District, and iri effecting this,
\fiii iiivnun in niiiuu') Huiinm tii uiu J/;**trict,
might n-ivist us materially l>y giving us
early in format ion of whatever transpires in
their respective neighborhood*. This refers
especially to liwnriages, deaths, accideiiU,
or whatever occurs that is likely to
interest the general reader and especially
those who were once residents of Lancaster
and have moved to other Districts or States.
We will regard all such attentions as special
i Isvors, from whomsoever they may comic.
We take this occasion to ncknowledgo
our indebtedness to aoveral persons, who
have repeatedly laid us under obligations
for such matters of interest, as Were obtained
through their business relations or
otherwise, and w hich might never huve occurred
to us or been brought to our knowledge.
Much attentions show a studied Interest
in our paper, and they never fail to
1 bo rightfully appreciated.
TAX 2UETURK&
We hnyo been furnished by our present
very ctlicicnt Tax Collector Ibi this District,
with a statement of tiic Tax returns for ,
the last two years, which will bo found bo- j
low. lie also makes some appropriate remarks
in connection :
| Mi:. KurroR :?ilelicvincr that a little sta- |
ti-tica] information in regard to our District,
may be interesting to sonio of your readers, |
I haw made nut a sort of recapitulation, !
of my Tax return, with my return of j
Deaths, Hirths ntul Marriages. I have also
I furnished the Tax return for the year ber
fare last, lo show the increase of tajtnble \
property, and the increase ill the value of |
our taxable property, in one year. It will i
lie seen by subtracting t^e return of J853
from that of ISfiG, that there is an increase
of dot) Negroes, the sales < f 13.000 Do!Jars !
worth of Goods, lit,040 Dollars in the value
of Town lots, and a slight increase in other
properly. A number of people who do not i
read the nits of the Legislature blame the I
members whi n the 'Paxes are raised : this !
is wrong, they are not always to blame.? j
Our General Tax was reduced at the last
session of the J egislature; ami yet we have
paid the highest Tax this year, that we ever
i T. : . .. i o: ..-:-'
n. ii <i iiv.ii/ 1'iiirii'k i ux mar lias
caused the inercasi, and our members have ,
nothing to do with regulating the District ,
Tax. iV>tw ill.standing He increase of
taxable property, otir (ietieral Tax is $3921e.
less than last rear, but when the District
Tax is added you will find that wu
have paid $1,722.70 more than last year.
The total amount of our Tax en for Hits
year is 8,080.5(1 ; of this amount $3,353. 10 is
left n our District for building JJridges, and
supp uting the poor. 1 have made these I
rotpnr.s for the benefit of those who may I
not be able to understand my return.

"Au overwhelming majority of the people
of Kansas now go with Walker for a constitution
which shall be submitted to the j
whole people ot the Territory. The .
Southern pro.slavery men are satisfied with (
! Walker. Dlmore formerly of Alabama ; j
Stringtellow, one of the leaders of the so- i
called border radians ; ttie settlers from \
South Carolina, Georgia, and the South
j generally, declare tiieir entire satisfaction
with the course of the Governor. So do |
' Doniphan and Atchison ; Woodward, of I
South Carolina, a few years a<ro one ot '
the ablest representatives from 8outh Carolina
in Congress, and an intimate friend of
Mr.Calhoun ; Lecoinptc. Isnneksnnd \\ Ifit;
field all sustain Walker's course."
The above is an extraet fr^nj an article j
j which we find in one of our exchanges,
credited to the Cincinnati Enquirer. We
I are not prepared to gjve full credit to it an
i yet, it being ao directly opposed to what
the South lias had rc&soq to apprehend is ,
I Walker's true position end the correct state
of affairs in l^auaii*. Should the Entjuir,
crs statement prove true, however, there
{ exists but little doubt that the South has
been premature in its judgment of Walker j
j and in condemning the course of the Ad- j
ministration. If Walker is sustained by
audi men as Atchison, String/allow, Woodward
and lilmore.nnd bv the nuonleof Mi*.
r 1 1 V
suuri?the "Border Ruffians," who have ;
large interests in Kansas and have not been
, backward in maintaining tbeir rights at
every hazard, the people of the South Way
| rest content that ho is moving in ^ie rigid
direction arid that their interests are being
eared for. It is.barely possible liiat there
j is something behind tho lato movements in
Kansr s as they have appeared to us, and
; that Walker's treachery, MS it is termed, has
been magnified. His special nets, which
we cannot but condemn, may l>e justified
Uy bis general policy. We say it is po??j.
ble, for tho information above, conies nt '
best from n doubtful quarter and we would |
certainly deijire to see it corroborated.? ,
There is one significant fact, however,which
sustain* it, and which should not be overlooked,
to wit: that while the South u
clamorous and disaffected, the Southern
party in Kansas?they upon the tccne of <ic.
tton?are apparently contented.
T5E LATE PROF HENRY.
Tho Editor of the South CstnUinian has
lately seen a handsome marble monument, i
in the eenjetry of Trinity Church, Colum- j

niati, of respect to their honored preceptor i
a I'd frioud, bv students of the South Caro- !
linn College, limn w hom no one more worthily
deserved such a memorial.
It is composed of several blocks of mar- |
u i'i surmounted l>y a plain circular column,
on whifh rests a draped t:ru nil of pure
