Gold for t.otton. T.O0, DeLeoni E.A., of thei Mobile Register, Was in the New York gold room during the recent panio. From - letter of his undt~i'.dat# of the fol lowing day, we take the following ox tract. "Now, where this question touches us so nearly, is the fact that there was little real demand for gold; that nier ohants did not offer it: nad thab, at this momentj-large'sums are on their way to thisaside from the other. The p roocodings, yesterday, were gam bling transactions, pure and simple ; and the gold market of the whole 'country was terribly shaken to put four per cent. into the pockets of the 'lique' who control this market for the moment. If the export demand for gold to pay duties or balances in favor of imports had been great, we could understand it However dissat isfed Southern markets might be, they could see some excuse, even if no reason. But when such a wonderful rise can be forced by the mabipula. tion of a clique, with no reason to back them; when gold offered in this maukot by the Government is not bid for, and the purchases and sales are merely nominal for the sales of the margins and carrying, then it does be come g shibjoot of gtave importance to us tLet us suppose heavy importations of gold announced make the bills fool the moment has come to let go. Veer ing round to the beat policy, they make a clique and drop gold in an hour to 84. They have 'full power to do this to-d ay ; and theoy will' have it any day that they make a ring and control the market for a few hours. Hero, then, is where the shoe pinches the Boelthern produeei,- for so long as ootton is sold for greenbacks, -and greenbacks are regulated by the will of the gold gamblers of Wall sti-eet, $.just so long is New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston, or Galveston, tho bond thrall of the sharporp, who niever tqo na Abre of: ootton~,-nor perhaps *,00,0QO of gold where theyma nipulate hundreds.

It Ia of this demand for export gold that gold gambling was born, and it is upon its fine~tuatierraithat it6thrives or weakens.

Southern sellers, and only one. And that.is, to demand at every Southern .port where cotton is sold ouch gold down for' it, without the unneocesary manipulation of gild ehooks, or of gold value in depreciated greenbacks." On the same subject the New York I cpress speaks as yellows: "The Southern movement for spe cie, we trust, will be successful. If cotton were sold for nothing but spe cie, that groat staple thus sold, would soon form the gold values of wheat, tobacco, rice, barley, iron, timber, and other great products, in lieu of the now nominal politicians' prices. "The bankers and speculators in the land will never r.tore us a specie currency, nor the politicians. We must look to the Western Pacitia coast and the South to lead off in that, when the East and the central States must follow." Some people. are Afraid of the Gov ornument at Washington if the South dare ask for its commercial own-that is, /old for a gold article in the mar kets of the world. To these timid ones, we commend the following from the New York Evening Pust, an ad ministration organ, as well as a jour nal whose "head is level" on tariff and financial questions, although a monomaniae on the black question. Hoar it: "Many planters and merchants who have large dealing with foreign coun, tries, as well as with this city, and are anxious for stability in the eom mon measure of values, earnestly ad vocate the chango, and there is now no legal obstacle in the way, since the Supreme Court of the United States sustains contracts for gold. "The only possible means by which gold can be restored as our currency, without some great disaster . to trade, is by substituting it voluntarily in the several transactions of trade, and so leaving'the Jovernment free to with draw its paper. This must be done grndually, but cannot be done too soon Whpn Any, important part of the busikiess community shall have adopiod 'oin as their money of ac count, the banks with which they deal will do the same ; their clearings and exchanges will be made in gold ; and all their customers will soon adopt dhi aauim p1lu. Every step or tais kind will prepare the way fur, the substitution of compound interest notes for greenbacks in circulation, and for funding thorn ultimately in bonds ; and will thus he a distinct help to the Government in finally restoring its credit." Tii CUBAN QUESTION CUL.MINAT ING.-As far as the policy and action of the United States ore concerned the Cuban question is culminating. If we look at this question as it now stands-at the efforts Qf our govern ment through General Sickles to obi tain the independence of Cuba ; at the declaration of our Minister to the Madrid government that the time is near when the United States will have to recognizo the Cubans as belliger ents; as public sentiment here, at the well known synipathy of the Pres ident, the Cabinet and Congress with the Cubans; at the inoroased activity of Spain to crush the insurrection; at the prolonged and so tar successful struggle of the Cubans' to acquire their indcjcende-nco, and now at the Cuban privateer, the IRomet, falling into the hands of the United States authorities, as well as at the difficul ties surrounding the Euterpe and the Spanish gunboats In our waters--it Is evident the administration is brought to a point whent its policy ad purpose with rogaid to Cuba must be. ma'de known. A purely negative policy is no longer possibl6, though a~n afirrma tive policy in favor of the Cubans would necessarily lead to a rdfpture with Spaiu or to tSparticipatrion in the struggle. The ime is near when the United States muet oither recog Iizo the Cubans as belligerenti r hbstidon them to their fate.-.N. Y.

We, the students thu scurrilously attaoked, ask for a plao in your paper for a reply. We have preferred entering and en doavoritig to sustain the University with its able Faculty, to leaving oun native State, in order to obtain th< opportunities of a liberal eduo..tion w hich we have had in the past, anc would have in the future, were it not for such contemptable articles as that of the Courier. Afraid to impute die honorable motives to the professors knowing full well that his miesilei would rebound to his own disoomiturc he vents his spleen upon the students congratulating himself that he is mak. ing a bold display, without the possi bility of a retort. But we are "song of South Carolina gentlemen," inher iting the old Carolina spirit, and we spurn his dastaidly insinuations with the utmost contempt, both for the ar tidle and its author. No negroes have been presented to the Faculty for admission, and the russors whicb have bden oirculated to that effeet are false. Nor are the statements that the majority of the studente are bene fioiaries true; there are only four or five beneficiaries in the institution, and an attack made upon those gentle men could only emanate from one too much their inferior to deserve notice. The fact that the majority of the for. mer Faculty have remained-and cer tainly they compare favorably with those who have resigned-is sufficient assurance that the high tone of the University will be maintained. We entered the University to complete our education, not to enter the politi cal arena. Our purpose here is edu eation, and we deeply; regret to have to depart from our duties to vindicate ourselves from insinuations,. disgrace ful alike to the paper in which they appeared and the pen fromnwhich they originated. To such insidious attacks as that the downfall of the 'Univeralty, if it ever comes, will be kitHbtaible ; and if this grand old' inaattutbitu must tall the editor of the Courier may be as sured that his influence, if he has any, has contributed to the result. Nor need he imagine that the people of South Carolina are to be deceived by his representations; the situation of the University will be known, and the knowledge of its position will not re fleet any credit upon the Courier, which should have been its friend, but, perhaps fortunately for our repu tation, has become its bitter enemy. Many of our young friends have bQop deterred from entering with us by the false and unfounded reports which have been circulated to the great in jury of. the University; but we are Pati fied that in a short time our num ber will be augmented ly the ."suns of S.uth Carolina gentlemen," and the University will succeed, notwith. standing the miserable articles of the Charleston Courier.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Yorkville Enquirer, Is' of opinion that neither articles nor speeches will prod duce any effect upon the negroes, and defines its position in these words: "The Charleston News says they al ready feel indireetly the weight of taxation, and desire to 'thr'ow it off.

It is curious to see how all trades and professions must dip down some time on the bare, dead human body. 'ho physician is intinate with death; the lawyer examines wounds that have caused it. The woodcarver frames the coffin. The merchant measures the shroud. In the fair realm of art that lovos no horror,it would seem that the artist, at least; would escape ghastliness. It is.not eo. Young Mills handed we from its cover the east taken a few days ago from. Rawlins' face, after he was dead and placed in the vault. Mills called it "sharp," a technioality for aeoura cy. It is marvellous. The symmetry of the feature was porfeet and calmer than sleep. The nose was chiselled to the firmness of marble. The beard, the mustache, the eyelids, were im pressed to the exactnees of a hair. The lips were full and a little apart as if he had breathede through the plaster. The very potes of the skin were taken and visible, .The art was astonishing. The faoe-was a dead king's. Carlos II, of Portugal, never saw a finer, peeping inteovaults of his ancestors.

Rawlins was . remarkable example of the first. If the symrju try of his life was that tf his fa0e, I don't wonder he won troops of friends and. kept them.

It was at BesL in ended to take the cast of the :fkoe th'e' bight kejogogrggb ; ment, but it was feared that the - fea. tures might be marred before the arri val of Mrs. Rawlins.

The Court of General Sessions resuni ed its sitting to-day, having adjourned on Saturday morning last for the pur pose doubtless of permitting Judge Boozer to be present at the Supreme Uourt, wl:ch announced decrees upon that day. The University seems to be a subject of interest in all circles. The policy of the Republican party apparentiv is to use all measures short of an actuial dis. inissal of the present professors to gam the possession of this institution, which will prove, in their hands, so fruitl a vehicle of public patronage. It is my impression, and I do not think I stand alone an it, that the Radicals would like to see the present professors vacate their offices, rather by resignation than die. missal. The appointment of Dr. Mack. ey, and the still more recent instance of the negro leed's npplcation before the county delegation for admittance as a plpil, midicate that material was furnish. ed to induce the resignation of the pro lessors if they entertained the disposi lion From what I can learn, I think it likely that the Republicans would gladly welcome this entire withdrawal of the present fieniltv, so that so many coinfortable houses, each with the addi tional condition cf $2000 per annum, might be bestowed upon the "Working members" of the Itepublican party. BInt I scarcely think they are yet pre pared to insist upon an; absolute dismis sal of these gentlemen. I was told by .me of tlhe-professors that 25 students (6 of the 25 beneficiaries were negroes) had mati iculated, and that now Ihat, it was established that the negro, Reed, had failed in his application, the number of s'udents in a fuw days would proba. taly amount to 40. Te University is nmore than the trustees are equal to-one ot'Ihie board remarked that "he was one of the seven keepers to an eleplant, and was unable to determine what to do wil it." I was told today, as comina front high authority, that in the event oI th,- instil uuion acing broken qp, it woual, be prpmsed to turn it into an ngricul'nral college. troubles in tale Radical camp. 'Rimors say that some of the present board of University trustees, if not all, are to be impeached at the'next, meeting of the Legislature for:malleasance in office, iii reference, 1 presume, to the appointment of the new professors.

Yesterday he wan arraigned befost Magistrato Mackey. The testimony showed that ho had willfully assaulted the patient, Cair, with a strap, several tims dariug the night, each blow of the etrap bringing blood from the infirm and paralyze d old man. As sion as the testimony weas given, the magistrate committed the accused to jail to await trial for making an assault and battery wit It intent to kill. The aceused had scarcely been com mittel to jail when the news came that Mr. Carr, will had been very low, and a portion of th time insensible, since lh attack, was deaid.
