Tho pleasure is now uflVmlad us of stating tlint tho Blue llidgo Railroad iti completed to Pondleton. Tho train run through, on Tuesday last, for the first time! Wo congratulate our neighbor on connecting by steam with tlio balance ol tho world. It is a touch-stone of prosperity that will, wo trust, realize for liorall the bright promise;* anil buoyant expectations of tho most sanguine.

Another serious difficulty has occurred in tho South Carolina College. According to tho statement of tho Columbia CuroHnian, which we give below, it was a causeless re- * hellion. Without waiting for the report of ' the affair by tho Students, we are inclined to endorso the conduct of the Faculty in the act suspending the rebellious party. Tho "rule or ruin" policy that has marked tho conduct of tho young men in our State institutions, within tho last fow years, is well calculated to destroy thoir usefulness. Wo are for crush- \ ing out this dangerous spirit, aud shall aid auy rospeptablo party in accomplishing it.

Teachers will sec nt a glance the importance of such a movement in establishing a uniform system of teaching so that when one teacher leaves a neighborhood and another takes his place, the same systoin may bo pursued without subjecting the parents to the expense of getting othor books and the pupils to the inconvenience of different rules and a different course of studios.

Let us choose our representatives as we would a teacher, for his high qualifications, as suggested by a co-respondent of yours a short time since. "I, ok Up." Conventions in different portions of the District might not act in concert, hence pormit me to suggest that a eouvention of four or five ilelogatea from each Beat Company he selected to meet at tho Court House the first Monday in May, to make the nomination. The companies of the tfd llegimcnt can conveniently appoint their delegates .-it the time of tho election for ('olonol, and those in tho other Regiment nt the game, or any mutable timo betweon this and tiio time montioned. If these suggestions meet the views of tho vgtow of tho District., it will gratify one who has every disposition to Compromise. m mKA opnug j.erin, xooo.
