From the old woods dim and lonely,
Comes-a mon:
'there the Winde at' sighing only,
"Sutmor's gone !"
All the bright and sunny hours,
And the'greon and leafy bowers,
With the summer's latest flowers,
Are faded now,
And the.brow
Of the waituig year,
*IHst been twitedw ith dying leaves,
And the galhering sheayq;
ell us autumn a here.
Now the winds go loudly moaning
Through the vales ;
And the forest trees are groaning
Muou ful t aged
Of decays that ewifily gather,
Of the o'nang wintry Weather,
Of the snow thpt likea feather
Soon will fall;
And the call
Of death Is' stighing
Over all the rippling streame,
And the summer'4 lingering gleams
Are so sadly dying.
'Tis the waning, waning twilight
Of the ye ir
That hovqrs now- all strangely bright,
Round us here ;
And soon the year will pass away,
like the light of an autumn day,
Adown old winter's dim highway
To its tomb;
And the gloom
Of the silent land
Will rest on the bright years flown
And the windsof thipo will'moan
O'er the dreailess band.
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

the 'stubborn figures still remain that

this demand for export gold that gold

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. Hecrald.

Ma, Ez:iTon: The.. editor of th
Cha leston Courier, in sn article refer
ring to the University, stigmatizes th
students as '-Governor Scott's pets,'
and basely insinuates that they ar
not the "sons of South Carolina gen
tlomen." 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.

The year which is drawing to a

It becomes a people thus favored to
make acknowledgment to the Supreme
Author, from whom such blessings

The Court of General Sessions resuni

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

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.

might be bestowed upon the "Working

A MAN IJKATKN TO DICATII.e-The
News has already mentioned the arrest
of John Klein, a nurse temporarily em
ployed at the Marine flospital upon
the charge of having assaulted Mr. Pat.
rick Carr, a patient, with a strap.
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. Coroner Wiat
ing was notified, and at half past four
o'clock had a jury of inquest empannell.

bore the marks of the brutal treatmb:t
the dtecensed hand receive-d. Drs. J.
Somers 3uist and T. Grange. Simons
were requested to make at post-mortem
oxnaination and report. thin result to
the jury 'At l.a!'f.past 4 o'loeck on Mon.
lay afternoon next, to which time (ho
jury then adjourned.
Thera can be no pallintion fir this
murderous act of the acensed. Any
one who would commit an assaualt of this
character upon another when he is old,
intirm, paralyzed nnd speechless, alto
gether rnable to offer or resent prova

-xttnt of the law, and we hope that if
the accused be fomd guilty, he will
meet the roward he so richly merits.
