The University.
There were on last Saturday eighty-six (86) students
present in the University of South Carolina.
^ Since the opening of the institution in its present
form?January, 1866 ? there have been one hundred
and one (101) matriculates; of which nurnbei,
fifteen (15) have left the University, or are absent
fmm nthor rtanse.
At the session of the Board of Trustees last week,
there were elections of three new professors held?
one in Law and two in Medicine. Judge J. A.
Inglis, was elected to the Professorship of Law ;
and the universal opinion of the bench, the bar,
and the public is, that there could have been found
nowhere else a man better suited to the place than
he. Dr. J. J. Chisolm, of Charleston, who stands
in the front-rank of his profession, and Dr. John
T. Darby, who has enjoyed the advantages of European
study and practice, were elected to the two
chairs of Medicine. The special departments that
will be assigned to each have not yet been deter- i
mined upon. These two, together with Drs. La- <
Borde and Joseph LeConte, previously members 1
of the Faculty, constitute the Faculty of Medicine. j
Dr. LaBorde will teach Physiology and Hygiene,
while Dr. LeConte will teach Chemistry and Pharmacy.
In order to graduate in Medicine, the stu- :
dent must take all four Professors?Drs. Chisolm, 1
Darhv. LaBorde. and LeConte. It is understood J
that these new Professors will not enter upon their
duties until the opening of the next annual session
? the first Monday in October of the present year.
Or. Darby is in Europe at this time, we believe.
Prof. Sachtleben, elected to the Chair of Modern
Languages and Literature last November, is
also still in Europe. He is expected to be here at ,
the opening of the session next October. I
The new By-Laws of the Uhiversity will be pub- i
lished soon ? in the course of a month, probably.
At the same time will appear the Annual Catalogue 1
of the University for 1867. - ]
The students are taking steps, we understand, to ,
establish a gymnasium, for physicalexercise. This i
is all-important; and we mention the fact in order 1
to commend the idea to all collections of men, or
boys, or women, or girls. If the body be uotprop- j
erly developed, the mind will never attain its full (
vigor and health. i

A CHAPTER ON TRAGEDIES. (
A correspondent of Elizabethtown, of Carter J
County, Tennessee, gives ihe Louisville Journal j
the particulars of a terrible feud that has been ra- J
ging for twenty years between two families of that ,
county, and which was brought to an end by the j
bloody deaths of the sole surviving tribes in the
k streets of Elizabethtown on the evening of the 5th \
^ instant The history of the affair, as detailed by J
W the correspondent, is as follows:
In the fall of 1846 a family named Johnstone re- (
moved from the neighboring County of Wautauga,
North Carolina, into Carter Countv, East Tennessee,
and settled down in the neighborhood of f
another family named Rogers. Johnstone, who ;
appeared to be an energetic, industrious man, im- J
mediately went to work at clearing up a little farm. 1
He felled trees, grubbed undergrowth, burned
stumps, and split rails to fence in the ground he I
re-claimed from the wilderness. In his labor he 1
was assisted by his two sons?both^mere lads.? I
Wliile the three were engaged in erecting fencing <
nf lonrl Rmrers rode un to where <
ttUMUt bUCll jmivn v* _r
they were at work one day, and laid claim to a pile <
of rails, about a dozen in number. This claim j
Johnstone disputed, and finally, on Rogers apply- i
ing to him the epithets of "liar ' and"thief,' the (
North Carolinian pulled him from his horse and s
administered to him a severe chastisement with his (
fists. Rogers went off vowing vengeance, and in 5
the course of an hour returned to tne spot armed ]
with a rifle, the contents of which he discharged s
into the body of Johnstone, producing fatal conse- <
quences. Rogers, who was a man 01 some wealth i
for those primitive times, and was possessed of (
considerable influence among his rough, unlettered j
neighbors, was acquitted of the charge of murder (
by an examining justice. This was the beginning f
of the terrible veridetta that has run through the c
years that followed, cutting down the males of the (
two families in the pride of their strength and i
? manhood. 1
gk The two Johnstone lads vowed vengeance upon '
^ the murderer of their parent, and one of them, J
James, worked night and day, with but one ob- I
ject in view ? to accumulate the means to pur- <
chase a rifle. At length he became the owner of <
one, and one Sabbath morning, with his gun upon
his shoulder, he approached tne house of Rogers.
The latter was sitting upon his porch, and, as he (
saw the young Johnstone approaching, probably c
divining his intention, arose nastily and started to- c
wards the rack where his gun was suspended. But |
the avenger of blood was upon his path, and ere he 1
could reach his weapon ne fell upon the floor a
corpse, his heart pierced by the bullet of his foe. c
I Rogers left behind him a young wife and three chil- 1
dren ? one of whom was a boy. Among the rough (
backwoodsmen of Carter County, young John- i
stone's crime was looked upon with satisfaction, <
if not favor?the Indian law of retaliation being ]
looked upon by them-as the vety cream of justice. j
Afterward Johnstone married, and, as the years 1
passed by, he became surrounded by an interesting j
and numerous progeny. t
} The boy, William Rogers, in the meantime, had 1
almost reached manhooa's estate, when one morn- s
ing, without divulging his intention to his mother 1
or sisters, he left tne nouse with his father's rifle 2
upon his shoulder, as if he were going out to hunt, 1
and in less than in an hour a grief-stricken mother
was weeping over the corpse ot a slain husband and
father. Young Rogers, in his turn, had become
an avenger, and Thomas Johnstone fell beneath his 1
^ hand.
In time the memories of these three murders :i
died away, and those who were children then grew i
to be men and women, William Rogers had taken i
to himself a wife, and become the head of a grow- v
ing family. One morning he rode into Elizabeth- c
town ; as he did not return that night?a cireum- 1
stance that had never occurred before ? his wife 1
became very uneasy, and in the morning induced s
her brother to start to town in search ot her uus- t
band. About three miles from the house he came (
upon the body of his brother-in-law, lying in the i
road stiff and cold in death. His brain had been i
pierced by a rifle ball. Although his murderer was 1
never discovered, yet the community quietly ac- J
cepted the belief that Henry Johnstone, a son of
Thomas who was slain by Rogers, was the perpetrator
of the deed. Some years afterwards, in a f
drunkeu moment, in Klizabethtown, this young j
man acknowledged he had slain Rogers, and gave j
as his reason that the latter had killed his fathef. 1
Johnstone was a young man, and only a few j
months before the inuraer had been married to a j
young girl in the neighborhood.
Again the chart of time was unrolled, and at s
least ten years had been added to the past, when a (.
young lad, a son of the murdered Rogers, engaged
m an altercation in the yard of the'Court House at j
^ Klizabethtown with Johnstone, who was then a c
B middle aged man, and inflicted such wounds upon a
him with a knife that he died on the following morning,
i
Thus it went on for years, now a Johnstone falling
by the hands of a Rogers, and then a Rogers
falling beneath the avenging hand of a Johnstone, c
until the war intervened, and for a time at least ]i
the terrible feud appeared to have ended. The (
cessation of hostilities brought the survivors of the c
warring families back to Carter County. These ,
survivors consisted of Randall Rogers and Robert s
Johnstone, both battle-scared veterans, and both i.
unmarried men. On the evening of the 5th in- *"
stant these men met in a grocery at Klizabethtown,
and soon became engaged in an altercation. Bystanders
interfered, and for an hour or two a colis- !
ion was averted. They were separated by friends, J
and taken off in opposite directions. This occur- .
red about noon. About three o'clock, as Rogers i
was go'ng up the street he saw Johnstone coining .
down. As they nearcd each other they drew their revolvers
and commenced simultaneously firing up- j
on each other, continuing to advance as they tired, j
Finally, and when aliout four feet distant from
Johnstone, Rogers sank to the pavement, and. as
he lay. the last act of his life was to fire the last
charge in his pistol into the abdomen of Johnstone, *
whose last bullet, fired at the same instant, pene- t
trated his antagonist's brain, causing instant death.
Johnstone reeled and fell across the body of his
foe, and when bystanders rushed to where they
lay, he, too, had passed beyond all reach of mortal
aid. Almost at tne same instant of time their two
blood-guilty souls had pone to ioin the gory ghosts
of their ancestors. Thus enaed a feud that has
existed for twenty years, in the course of which
fourteen men have died violent deaths.
?
Severe.?The New York Day Book has the
following scathing satire on the folly of the American
people:
It is the fashion, just now, to represent the
country as flourishing beyond all preoedent in our
or any other nation's nistory, and it is claimed that
Europe not only stands in awe of us, but is extremely
desirious to learn all it can from our superior
knowledge, enterprise, &c.
Now, when we reflect that the abolition party in
power is the tool of European monarchists, created
oy them for the sole purpose of overthrowing republican
institutions; and that they have, to a great
extent, accomplished their mission, and are working
like beavers to "reform" the Constitution, and
blot out utterly the work of Washington, it is ridiculous,
as it is said, to sec the monarchists patting
them on their heads, and telling them what smart
fellows the "Yankees" are. Cvrus W. Field, who
lays down the Atlantic Cable, both ends of which
are in the British Territory, and in case of war with
us, that enables England to strike twice to ouronce,
is, of course, an exceedingly "enterprising" character;
and the Queen, it is said, really wants to make
Eltii o L-niorEf a? waII as an ass ?if ha wishes it.?
And then^Bennett's yacht and trip across the Atlantic
is thought to be exceedingly smart and enterprising
; while all this time John Bull is not only
taking away all our foreign commerce, but under
our present tariff and worthless currency, American
shipbuilding?except "Plum Gut" yacht?is disappearing
altogether. A year or two hence what
cotton is produced will be manufactured in the
South, and then, when the Yapkees find that they
must buy their cotton and sugar of John Bull, or
shut up shop altogether, they will, no doubt, come
to their senses, and realize what egregious asses
they have been, and "Plum Gut" yachts and Atlantic
Cables will be a drug in their market, at all
events.
GREAT WINNEBAGO.
Simeon Cameron, familiarly known as "Great
Winnebego," recently elected Senator from Pennsylvania,
vice Senator Cowan, has achieved, during
his long career, a reputation for rascality unparalleled
by tnatof any other politician in the country. He
first established a national notoriety by a very disreputable
transaction with the Winnebago Indians,
which caused his name to stink in the nostrils of
honest men, and made him a hero in the eyes of
the villians of the land. Sent on a mission to them
by the Government to deliver a large amount of
money, he appropriated the "mint drops" and
paid them off in notes of a wild cat bauk, of which
he was the owner. In the wilderness these notes
were worthless, and the Indians could not carry
them to Middleton for redemption, by which Mr.
Cameron enriched himself, and laid the foundation
>f his now princely fortune. Since then he has
sustained his unenviable reputation by buying
three Democratic votes when Forney was a candidate
for Senator against him, and on the expiration
of his term, by offering the Pennsylvania Legators
$20,000 if they would re-elect him. While
is Secretary of War, his corruption was so notorious
that even the Federal Congress could not
*tand it, and censured him into a resignation of his'
position. Such is the newly elected Senator from
Pennsylvania, a very fit representative of a State
which encourages such miscreants as Forney and
Stevens, and upholds the radical policy of injustice
and disunion.
What can be hoped for a country; in the Senate
>f which men of this character find position ?
The Gold Bill as it Passed the House.?
The following is the text of the bill passed by the
House of Representatives on Monday to provide
For the sale of gold, and for other purposes:
"Be it enacted, &c., That after the passage of
this act, whenever any sale shall be made of coin
From the treasury of the United States, public notice
of not less than six days shall be given by advertisement
in one daily newspaper in each of the
pities of Washington and New York, designating
the amount to be offered, inviting proposals for any
part thereof, naming the place ana the hour up to
vhich sealed proposals will be received, the terms
)f payment, and when and where such proposals
hall be opened. Such proposals shall be addressid
to the Assistant Treasurer at New York, and
shall be opened by him in the presence of such
persons who may choose to attend at the time designated
in the notice, and no proposal be considerid
unless accompauied by a certificate of deposite
n the treasury of the United States of five per
pentum of the amount of coin bid for in such proposal.
which shall be received as part pay for the

epted, and payment may be received for coin thus
lisposed of in compound interest notes with the
nterest accrued thereon. The Assistant Treasurer,
vith the approval of the Secretary of the Trcasuy,
shall have the right to reject the whole or any
part of such proposals, provided that none but the
lighest bid snail be accepted, and in case of differ:nt
bids at the same rate, said bids shall be accepted
>nly pro rata.
A Million Persons Starved to Death.?A
Calcutta correspondent of the London Times. Desernber
7th, gives some painful details of tlie recent
famine in the district of Orissa, in India. A
rovernment commissioner has prepared a report of
vhich it is said:
A picture more heart-rending, facta more hidepus,
could not be given. The commissioner estinates
the deaths in Orissa alone at 500,000 to 600,>00,
and in some places he admits that threeourths
of the population have been carried off.
Orissa had five millions. Add the mortality of
Midnapore. which was as severely visited ; of Gunam
and Cnota Nagpore, which were terribly, yet
nore mildly, dealt with; of Calcutta, whose hospitals
still tell so sad a tale, and of the other disricts,
where the sequelae, at least of starvation, earned
off many, ana remember that the deaths are
itill going on at the rate of a hundred a day, and
'ou will agree, with the rough estimate generally
iccepted here that the number of victims will not
pe under a million.

How to go to Bed on Cold Nights.? Hall's
Journal of Health?good authority?gives the folowing
advice on this subject:
"Do it in a hurry, if there is no fire in the room;
ind there ought not to he unless you are quite an
nvalid. But if a person is not in good health, it
s best to undress by a fire; warm and dry the feet
veil' draw on the stockings again; jump into bed,

mcover the head; next draw off your stockings,
traighten out, turn over on your right side and go
o sleep. If a sense of chilliness conies over you
in getting in bed, it always will do an injur}', and
ts repetition increases the ill effect, without having
my tendency to "harden" you. Nature abhors

Easily Satisfied.?We learn that a few weeks
iince a man by the name of Fleming, came out
Tom South Carolina and formed a copartnership
n the blacksmithing business with Caj>t. Taliaferro,
of this oounty. East week a Mr. Killgore comng
from the same vicinity as the former, made
nquiry for Mr. Fleming. Being asked what lie
vanted with Fleming, ne said that Fleming had
;tolen his wife, and ne intended to lfill him and
jet his wife.
Capt. Taliaferro being of a compromising turn,
iroposed to effect a reconciliation by pecuniar}*
onsideration. After a little bartering, Killgore

When paid for in currency, 35 per cent, is
added.
CHARLOTTE, January 28. ? Ootton.?Two or

and prices have receded about one cent lb. during
the week?Middling Cotton being quoted at
331 at the opening, and closing yesterday at 321 c.
p lb. The receipts at this point continue quite
steady, and do not, as yet, show any marked indications
of tailing off, as will be seen by our tables.
Much of the cotton hereisheld undcra limit which

consequently, in many cases, only placing a limited
supply of the article on the market The following
is a report of the transactions since our last
weekly statement: On Friday the 18th instant, the
market was active, purchasers showing a good disposition
to operate, but the amount of business
transacted was limited for want of stock, prices improved
during the day about a half cent ^ tb.;
sales 400 bales, Middling Cotton closing at 33*
cents. On Saturday the market was quiet, being
influenced by the decline in Gold at New York ;
previous quotations were, howover, generally
maintained. Sales 250 bales. On Monday the fall
in price in the English market caused a aull feeling
here, and prices receded during the day about
a half cent ">. Sales 250 bales?Middling Cotton

Corn.?The arrivals amount to 10,000 bushels,
but a steady demand prevails for plantation consumption,
and the stock on the market being quite
light, holders are firm. We note a sale of 0,000

navigation at the North preventing arrivals^ the
supply of Bacon here has been nearly exhausted,

one cent per pound. Sides, which have l>ecn most
in demand, may be quoted at 144 cents per pound
for Ribbed, 15 cents per pound for Clean Ribbed,
and 10 cents per pound for Clear Sides. Prime

REPORT OP THE COMMISSIONERS OP
PUHLIC BUILDINGS.
South Carolina, York Diht., Oct. Term, 1806.
To the Presuhng Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas for York District:
rIE Commissioners of Public Buildings for
York District, ask leave to submit the following
report of their transactions for the year 1886:
At March Term, I860, the Grand Jury for York
District, presented the Jail as "in good order and
jleanly kept, two of the rooms unlit for use, and
the entire house unsafe for confining prisoners;"
md an order was made by the Presiding Judge,
iirecting a copy of said presentment to be served
sn the Commissioners or Public Buildings, which
has been done.
In answer to which, we state that we have caused
?uch repairs to be made on the Jail, as our limited
means would permit, and we regard the Jail as
perfectly safe for keeping prisoners, provided they
?re confined in that part of the building in which
ii * was mienaea mey snouia De oonuneu, uiu uvi
permitted to occupy the aisle around the prison
rooms, and tools can be kept out of their possession.
And, as a further security, we suggest that for the
present, the prisoners, except debtors, should be
Locked in the prison rooms every night, until a
more thorough repair of the Jail can be made.?
We would not regard such a course as oppressive,
or, in the least, interfering with the comfort of the
prisoners; for the prison rooms, during the winter
months, will certainly be more comfortable for
sleeping, than the open space between the rooms.
The Jail, a1 though new and comfortable, was
badly constructed for safety in the first ins tan oe,
and it would require an entire remodeling in the
Inside, to make it much more secure than it now
is. Ltu-ge sums of money have already been expended
in repairs and remodeling, since the completion
of the building; and to do more now than
has already been ddne, would require a much heavier
assessment upon the District, than we would
regard as expedient at this time, considering the
impoverished condition of the country ana the
scarcity of money.
We have only assessed the District, this year,
two per cent, upon the State Tax. from whicn we
expected to realize about six hundred dollars, bat
awing to the fact that a large amount of Taxes
have not, as yet, been paid, we have so far, only
received four hundred and twenty-eight dollars
and thirty-three cents; and have paid out three
hundred and two dollars and eighty cents, leaving
a balance in the hands of S. Saaler, the Treasurer
nf the Board, of one hundred and twenty-five dollars
and fifty-three cents, as will appear bv his account,
which is approved and herewith submitted.
Respectfully submitted,
W. I. CLAWSON, Chairman.
