The Medical Collo?;o of Charleston is in a
most nourishing condition, if the number of
its Students?two hundred and sixteen?is
an index to its prosperity. Among tho names

The Railroad Jubilee !
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.
But on an occasion like this, wo are nioro
inclined to participate in the general jubilee
that is getting up, than to discuss tho advantage
of railroad enterprises. Beside, there

arrangements making for the ' Blue Ridge
Railroad Jubilee," at Pendleton on Thursday
next. The notico can lie found in our 1
columns. It i.s un appropriate time to celebrate
an event of interest and importance to
this section of country. Tho occasion, too,
calls for a unanimous iugathering; and the
citizens of Pendleton, with their accustomed
liberality, arc making preparations to welcomo
all cheerfully, ana feast thoso bounti*
fully, who may claim bor hospitality. Then,
us the invitation is general, let tbere be a
goncral attendance. Let a welkin greot the
''iron horse," at old Pendleton on Thursday
next, that will rcvcbcrate through the backbone
of the majestic lllue Ridge! an echo
that is as surely to be followed tip by the '

Tt will be scon, by reference to our advertising

Another College Difficulty.
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.
But to the oxtract:
" Wo regret to state on yesterday, the Faculty
found it necessary to suspend ninotysevon
studonts of the South Carolina C'ollogo
until the first of October next, and fivo until
tho first of May. We understand tho oeton
?ibio cause of diffiotdty was tlio refusal of tho
Faculty to allow a suspension of Collcgu oxorcisos,
on Thanksgiving day undor municipal
rocommcndntioA. Upon tho professors
going to Chapol and recitation, on fhursdny
morning, tho bonches wcro found tarred.

The Currency of the Times. !^T
Wo little thought, when submitting a foyr ^
remarks on " the banks" to our renders last
week, that the iingor of execration would so
soon particular!:.e for us. The grand jury 8:
of Now berry has declared the bank in that w
district a " public nuisance," which ought to !U
bo abated. Tho Sjtarfan, published at Spartanburg
0. 11., gives tho ciroumstanco tho li
following passing notico: t!
" Tiik Bank of Nrwiikhrv.?A late para- ti
graph boasted of tho largo purchases of cot- {p
t m drafts by this Hank stuco tho relief action
of the Legislature, and exultingly stated that
but a small amount had boon applied for by p
way of ordinary discount. Knowing it t? be c:
a puff more than a reality, we did not copy
the information. But a friend just from Now- 01
uvrrj giws us 11 mora unerring index <>t the 11
popular npprocation?or rather execration?
of thin institution, in the fact that tlio graiul
jury, at the recent term of the court for that
District, presented it us a nuisance, which t!
tlio Statu owes it to her people to abate. This
is a step in the right direction, and wo hope
other places will follow up the plan."

Dear '1 homptrm : Permit nic, through

t'u? Teachers of this District to a meeting
at Pickens Court House on tho 4th
Monday in April next, for the purpose of
organizing a.Teacher's Association, the ol>-'
jeetof which should be to have an interchange
of sent ho out with regard to the best
inodo of tcuohing, discipline, books used,
and any othor matters that may bo likely
to benefit teacher*, parents and pupils.
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

Let all the Teachers in tho District, then,
get together and hold a meeting in tho

Mr. Ij titor : "Fair I'liiy"' mggestft, in
your last issue, the propriety of holding two*
or throe conventions, in different portions
of the District, to select suitable candidates
for tlio Legislature, and more particularly,
us 1 understand him, tlmt of Senator.
T agree with "Fair Play'1 that our "very
best" men should he selected, and if a fair
nomination can bo had, and tho candidates !
in tho field hud thoir friends, and those
likely to take the field, and their friends,
will Submit their several claims, ns doubtlass
they will, ratlch oxoitomcnt and illfooling
may be saved our citizens, and the
?*lect:on of a Senator of our choice secured,
when in a scramble between tlireo or four
candidates, (and there seems to be a strong
disposition on the part of many of our best
citizens to bring out a third) the result
might not be satisfactory, ns tho successful
candidate might receive only a little-over
mm tliinl < !" t In* vntiu lmlliwl
Favoritism should hnvo nothing to do
with this matter; it is not to honor the
man that we vote for him, but that lio may
honor ns and hi* District, the growing District
of Pickens, destined to be the H.uwier
District in the State. 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.

Tlic Grand Jury, in t.ho (Jisclmrgq of the
duties imposed by law, would respectfully
bring to the notice of the Coiirt tho bad condition
of so much of the road loading from
Pickons Court House to Pendleton ns lies
between Keowee river and Eighteen Mile
creek?said road being a market road of
considerable importance, and also n stage
road. Yet said road is very narrow and
badlv worked. Wc r<wrmin>nnd flmf n-iiil
road bo thoroughly worked and opened to
the width of thirty feet ns now foquircd by
law for market road*. We understand that
the read loading from Pickens Court Ilonflo
towards Piokcnayillo is also in bad condition,
and not opened to tho width now required
by law.
Secondly, On rcforenoe to tho Renorta
of tho Tn;aKiirors of tho several boards of
Polioo for tho District, we see that there fa j
fr want of uniformity in the eharirosof I
^ O ^ "TT?" I
missions; some charging com missions on I
funds turuod over to them by the preceding |
Treasurers and others not. Thus,' Mr. !
]Joiss?an bequeathed to the Poor of the j
District ono thousand dollars which is kept
by the Hoard as a permanent fund and the
interest, only u*od annually for the bortofit I
of tho Poor. If, on turning over this j
thousand dollars by one Treasurer to his j
pupccssor, tho retiring Treasurer ohiirg 2
per cent, for paying out, and thq incoming :
Treasurer clutrges 2 \ per cent, for reociving?suppose
a Troasurcr should ho eloctod
semi-annually the fund would decreaso
3 per ccnt per annum, without aiding tho
din I riot in the least to support her ? j
This wo think is contrary to law. If it is i
not wo recommend a change in tho law. j
Thirdly, Tho power of granting licenses ,
to retail spirituous liquohj by incorporations
where the villages are ho small as in lh'??
Dintriot, wc think, would be bettor placed
in the hand* of the Oommiiwioneraot' iWdn,
where it formerly was.
