Mr. Fort, of Illinois, has recently intro duced into Congress a bill placing printing paper on tho freo list. Thc rocent riso in printing paper, from no visible cause, from fhTrty to fifty per cont., shows that not tho country but individuals aro receiving tho profits. Our paper now costs us sonio forty .per cont, moro than a few months back, and yet tho cost of its manufacturo has not in? oroasod, if any, to any mntorial extont. Tho public education is deoply interested in this matter, as it will suroly increase thc cost of nil books and poriodic&ls and newspnpsrs, theroby throwing tho tax on tho people at tho oxponso of tho intelligence of tho nation. Education, information is tho main pillar of otrongth and purity in ropublican govern ment und whatever strikos at it, strikes at tho life-blood of tho government. Alroady some .of tho Northorn and Wostcrn journals havo 1 been compelled to raise their prices of sub scription and all our roadors know tho esor? hitant prices of school books. Tho Chioago tfimes stntos that tho advonco in paper makos a difforenco in its oxponsoa of nearly ?100, 000 a year, and that it is compelled to raise its subscription. The move thus begun may extend to every ,br?uch - of p.iiMio?tioo, and ibo poople who U1U8? have books nud p&pw* must bear the tat (or tho bonedt of a le* extortionists. lt ie cortn'm paper oan, as has boon, Manufactured at,- tnuoh lowor figures, and once opon freo trade with tho oUUldo world on thia subjoot nod competition will bring down prices to a fair margin. Agricultural Oollego. Wo boliovo wo boro heretoiore stated in our columns that tho South Carolina Univer sity was to be converted into an Agricultural College, with an experimental farm. Wo eco from our exchanges that tho board mot on the 11 th instant and decided to oloot, on tho second Wodnosday of May, four profos? sors, as follows: one for tho branch of analyti cal and agricultural chemistry and experi mental agriculture; Ono of botany, goology and mineralogy; ono of mathematica, me chanics and natural philosophy, and ono of English languago and literature and bolles lettres. Those profossors are to rocoivo oaoh a salary of not loss than $2,000. Thom will also bo appointed one foreman of tho farm and ono of mechanics with salaries of $700 each. In tho past too littlo attention has bcon paid to these important, practical and usoful branches of knowlcdgo and with proper management wo expect groat good will flow to tho Stute from this institution. Wo would not in tho loast dotraot from tho valuo and imf >"tanco of tho study of tho anoiont lan v .- es to train and polish tho mind and give it a thorough knowledge of tho English Inn* guage, but those dosiring a collegiate oourso can got it ut our various sectarian collogos. They will then bo better fitted for a conrso in tho agricultural college, whilo thoso not able to boar the cxponscof both can go ut onoo tc tho agricultural college No one can dony but tho old South Cnrolb na Collego hus sont out como of tho greatest minds thut over adorned tho bench, tho btu and tho pulpit. Their thoughts nud works it their various professions will lire and bo retie for centuries to como and will adorn tlx history cf our State and nation. How little howovcr, did any of them know of sciontiQt agricult ure or mechanics, tho two practica pursuits which would yield wealth am', pros perity to tho Stato. How few after gradual' ing understood the nature of soils or who peculiar ingredient was needed to give ti their lunns tho highest fertility. How fev could have told tho ingredients of fertilizer and to what soils they were adapted. Tho; were great statesmen, judges, ministers, &c. and by their oloquonco and reasoning gav eddi to thc Stato, but as few only uro rc quired in thoso professions, tho muss ol gradu ates wore littlo informed about the groa pursuits of tho State. Education in any form is dctirahlo am bcuctioiul, but thorough education could no -ic attained in any of our collogos. Thc groa avocations of this and every Stato aro farm ing und mechanics, and we as a people hav known littlo of either. Tho ante-war nil was to cut down and wear out, until wc ar now compelled to build np and improve ou soils. This cannot bo dono without som knowlcdgo of the elements of our soils, nm tho agricultural collngo proposes to fur nial this knowlcdgo. Scientific, agriculture is th great need of our State, and in proof of thi you will hud him thc best farmer wh not only works, but observes well ibo rosul ofhis work, and thus gaining practical know lego by long ex por ?once prospers in farminf Now willi a scientific education tho (arnie could learn nod understand his soil and it needs in a few hours better than in u life timo of dark experienco. Mechanics wei confined to a low carpenters and smiths un no attention was paid to (hut high order < mechanics required to oroot and munno manufactories. Tho study of geology un mineralogy was formal and how important a knowlcdgo of them in connection with th mineral deposits in tho Stato. Wo rcjok this institution is to fulfil tho great nocds t our State, and hope whenever able Ibero wi bo added to it a full collegiate course. Legislativo Nows. Thc Uonornl Assembly convened in exit session on tho 10th instant, pursuant to tl (Jovernor's proclamation. Thc following uro tho bills of most goner intorost yet introduced^ Mr. Murray presented a bill to facilita tho completion of ibo Uluo llidgo Kailroa This bill proposed to relieve tho road of pa due tuxes, exempt tho ?ame from laxatii for a temi of years and to guarantee to ni company upon its completion $500,00 Eliminated of this latter feature and aft much animate 1 discussion it passed t Honso by a voto of 58 to 39.

A resolution regarding oonviots introduced tornight, is probably intended as a counter thrust against those attacking tho directors regarding tho Seegors contract, and will evoke a full roport showing how many are loused to different railroads, in whioh Repre sentatives and Senators aro interested, on telina much less advantageous to tho StatO than tho ono referred to. A Good Sermon. On Sunday night Rov. S. L. Morris preached to on attentive congregation a truly Christian sermon, edifying und persuasive to all who hoard him. Tho leading ?dons pre sented woro tho incroy of God und tho plan of salvation and wo eau say wo wish always to hoar from prcachors such sermons as appeal to tho God-diko attributes of man's nature instead of to his servile fears. Wo can always judgo of tho religion of a prenchor by bis sermons, for if hobo constantly holding up tho terrors o! hell ho is a moro professor, whilo if bo preach tho lovo and mercy of God bc is a Christian, and will surely keep up a religious spirit in his hoarors. Wo once heard a popular prcachor of tho past in this town say il was sometimos necessary to take hold of a man and shako him over tho flames of hell in order to convert and savo his soul. It is truo this begets a servile fear, and Solo? mon says, ''The fear of thc Lord is tho begin ning of wisdom," but doos he not moan that fear which a child 1ms for his earthly parent, who corrects in lovo and whoso heart bleeds at every blow? A cruel father ncvor had a good child, neither can u cruol God hayo a loving subject. God, bowovcr, is mercy, compassion, lovo in all bis aflliotious and dispensations, and so he should ho held out, and so ho was on Sunday night. We hour Mr. Morris so seldom that we can't say how often or whether ever ho prouohos those blood and thunder fermons, which disappoint and hui den tho hearers. Tho best preacher is be who labors by lovo to keep his church together. W instnnoo Spurgeon, in who.-o sermons only ono in several volumes, omitted "Turn or Burn," can bo found on tho penal character of God, also Dr. Raker, who revelled in his sermons in tho love of Gad und glories of beaven. Wo beard bim twico some twentyifivo years ugo, and on ono occa sion, after describing tho golden streets and beautiful anthems of tho New Je rusalem, ho ?poko of tho (imo he would go there and how ho oxpoctcd to bo mot by his dead child angel, Wi tu lours stroaming down his checks, ho strotolicd in's bands towards heaven and appeared ready to take his flight from tho pulpit. These great preachers labored to revive thc church, and this never fails to convert souls. After reading a part of tho 8th Chapter of Luke and thc 14th Chapter of Matthew, ho took us his text tho lust oluuso of tho SGth verse of tho 11th Chapter of Matthew, "And us ninny us touched wero mndo perfectly whole." Ile first spoke of the healing of tho daughter of Jairus and of tho woman, who being diseased tor twelve years, had doubtless spent all her substance with dooi tors to no purpose, und who in a thronged multitude touched tho hem of his garment and was healed. Christ, fooling that virtue had gone out of him, said, who touched mc, and was robu ko J by ono of his disciples, "scoing tho multitude throngs theo, askest thou who touched theo." After this ho de scribed Jesus going about doing good, und how tho people sent out into all the country round about und brought unto him all that were diseased, und us many us touched were made perfectly whole. They sought tho euro of their bodily infirmities, but Christ now bits tvt tho right har.d of his Fal her und is tho healer of souls. Ho said truly if Christ were in tho house to-night in person all iho congregation would throng him to bo healed, und he stated boldly ho is hero und ready und anxious to bind up tho broken hearted, to give penco und comfort ta thc ufilicied and to turn tho woe of the mourner into joy. Ho is not only here, but ho is more approachable as all in this congregation und all over the fuco of tho earth can reach him. Ile is equally compassionate and ready lo hear the cry of tho distressed, und as many as touch him with tho houri of faith will bo nando perfectly ! whole. Ho can bo approached by all through prayers, and no man who sends forth his potitions from tho heart over finds them to return empty. Ile hus no rogard to station or condition in life, 'mt to all thc high and low, tho rich and poor, ho stands ovor ready and anxious and nblo to heal, if they will but reach forth in their hearts and touch him. Ho is a willing Saviour, an anxious Saviour, an approachable Saviour lo all who will but look unto him by prayor ntid faith. Ho is not tho helper of man in salvation, but ho ls thc Saviour of men and to him only belongs thc glory. Ho is a porfoct Saviour, for all who to'tohed woro njudo perfectly whole Littlo faith as woll as groat faith received his blessings, for a moro touch made perfectly whole. It was ono of tho most earnest and fooling appeals wo havo heard in many weeks, and wo feol sure Christian heurts woro edified, whilo tho imp?nitent woro mudo to fool tho grout lass thoy sus tained in living outside such a Saviour. Wo cannot do justico to tho subject und writo thia, us wo proposo to rov io w snob sormona as wo know aro calculated to work good. Who knows tho effect of cursing und blessing in sermons bettor than tho hearers Tho aim ol crouching is to roach t|io heart and save tho youl to unite tho chinch and arouse lovo in tho hearts of tho hoarors. Somo ffoava ago wo hoard two sonnons, inio in tho morning from tho tost, "Thoro romuinoth a rest to tho pooplo of God," and in tlie ovoning ono from tlio toxt, "l\>r our God ia a consum* ing firo." Qn hoing asked our opinion about tho two 1>. D.'?, wo replied wo bad boon la tin morning on tb? mount of blessings', but in the oveotng we stumbled on tho mount of diming. Whenever God is held up as a ty rant, rejoicing in tho tortures of the damnod, bo la belied and peoplo aro driven off, but wbon tbose. beautiful, glorious, heavonly attributes of His nature, love, inoroy, holi* noss, aro dopioted, tho heart of every bearer is rojoioed and ls -benefited. Qod is good at all timos. Ile says "Tum yo, turn yo, for why will yo die, Oh House of Israoli" When a man is lost stern justioo domands his pun? ishmontnnd not the ploasuro of God. Tho way of salvation is plain, oasy and opon to all, and if a mau is lost it is not tho Lord's ploasuro but man's stubbornness. -. --- To Double Springs and Back on tho Third Sunday. Through tho very thoughtful courtesy of Capt. J. ll. Sligh it was our fortuno lo enjoy n very pleasant ride up and down Stump House Moun tain. "Dixio" (I believe ho bas won Ibo dis tinction of tho "Yes" horso of Walhalla) Is n oapital goer on a mountain road. Ho is quick, pert, watchful fur tho word, obedient to the line and true to tho trace. "Dixie" has already established a charnotcr and really deserves a place in tho publio print, ls it not n pity that lhere aro some mcu, who havo lived longer thau "Dixie," who have not established as good a character nor won as honorable a distinction? Our driver, tho Captain, exhibited such skill in engineering us over thebad places, always hilting Ibo host drive, that wc jocosely aooused him of being au expert ia the business. Tho road up tho mountain is a specialen of good engineering. Wo crossed thc road bcd of (bo unfinished, idlo ISluc Ridgo. Il always makes us sud to contemplate na uncompleted work-especially when that work is a great work-upon which tho development of (ho country and thc pros perity of a people depend. Wc passed nour thc unfimrhed Tunnel. How much grander would havo been (he inspiration bad (his decaying road bed been equipped with T iron, bearing upou ?(a rails (he Yiiat produce of (bo West mid emptying it into our Stale. The spirit ol' pro gress is still hovering along (his linc, reluctant to deport. A few days will determine whether tho present Legislature, now iu cession in Co lumbia, will really exhibit sufficient foresight to resuscitate this magnificent and beneficent enterprise. Should llie present Legislature show (hat. they have eyes and see not, cars and hear not, another Legislature in thc not far oil future, having eyes will sec, having cars will hear and having brains will use thom for thc good of tho people. Thinking of these things and retlecting how intimately moral progress is related lo material development, wc were iu spirit transported into thc future when these mountain slopes, terraced by the cunning hand of the husbandman, shtti! bc laden with the rich products ot tho enriched soil; when these mountain st reams shall bo made familiar willi thc whir ol' machinery and when all thc land shall rest und with thc hum of a contented, industrious and happy people. Perhaps in less limn lilly years from this third Sunday i i 1880, burn somewhere ulong tho linc which wc went to day, some happy clli/.cu, educated in tho uollcgo now located in tho county, living in ihe midst of tasteful school houses and commodious churches, looking over Hie files of thc CoeiiiF.it, may read this com DUiuioation and wonder that thc preacher was also a prophet. Wc found a congregation in waiting at Double Springs-whick, by thc way, is n most beautiful location for a church-and wo preached, not ol railroads and machinery, bul ol' infinitely nobler things, Jesusaud tho resurrection and tho great, happy life of every regenerate soul. We formed sonic very pleasant acquaintances, among them Mr. Abel Robins, Mr. (.leo. Simms, tho Harkers and young Mr. Ballinger, who occupies thc houses built by Mr. lice, ol' Charles ton, during thc war. The view from this place is very line. Our attention also was drawn to a linc body of land lying on tho waters of Chunga. Wc noticed a large apple orchard upon tho pre mises. Wo learned that this place belonged tc Col. Kuhtmann, of Walhalla. This Sabbath day was unusually splendid. Wo remarked time and again upon its cloudless ness-Ibero not being a speck above the horizon, thc sky presenting a transparent greyish lint, rather thau (he deep, azure blue. Looking out upon tho cloudless sky, all ablaze with (he glorious sun, wc wondered how many Christians lhere arc looking upon this sky and walking in tho light of (his sun, Im,-ca spiritual horizon ut cloudless, illumined hy Ihe Sou of Righteous ness.

Thc fact of tho increase of crime is painfully apparent everywhere.

Thc wind, which ul times attained tho velocity of a toruado, toro through tho streets, upsetting people and throwing signs and movable articles generally in every direction. Hoofs of houses wore shattered and in some instances entirely blown off. Trees were blown down and strewn over tho roadways. Railroad tracks wero covered with debris so much UB to slop tho running of trains on a number of lilies. Telegraph wires were broken dowo, mid not less than fifteen dwellings anti twenty business houses were partially destroyed. The scene was wild almost be yond description. People dared not venture out and loured thal at tiny moment thc liouso over them might bc blown down, lt is computed that at eleven o'clock thc wind was blowing at thc rate of forty miles on hour. Later ra i ti began lo fall in torrents flooding tho streets and railroads No trailla could leave tho city, und (rains in thc country were forced to stop und lay up wherever they happened to bo when thc tornado struck thom, The damage cannot bo fully estimated for several days, but is believed to have roached a largo amount. A number of fatal casualties aro olso re ported. Thc heaviest, losers by tho storm in thia city ure lihou & Son, proprietors of a largo grain elevator. Tho roof of tho elevator was blown elf during thc heavy rain, and 20,000 bushels of grain wore flooded. The brick wulls of tho new Cus tom House wero blown down nnd totally destroyed. Tho roofs of Burn's block of buildings wore blown off and destroyed, as were also those of thc Kdgcficld Manufac turing Company. Tho Merchants' Kxehangc WUK badly damaged. Tho streets uro lilied with tin roofs, signs und f?llen trees. Several largo manufacturing establishments uro almost totally destroyed. St. Paul's Church (colored) one of thc finest in tho city, is almost a total wreck. A number of freight cns which were standing on tho Louisville nnd Nushvillo Hiilrood, wero precipitated down on em bank moot. Thc tlamago in thc city alone is estima toil to be ?100,000, but ir. the country it cin not bo approximated. Several lives uro reported to have hepn lost.
