The University-Examinations- Bernita In the * everal Schools-The Acad?mie, Law, .Medicine-Character of the Work -Board of Trustee i-Valedictory of the Kupnradlans - Iteins Next Week. [FBOlf 0UB OWN 00RBXSP05DEMT.] COLUMBIA, Jone 26.-The eleven dayB of ex? aminations at the State University have jost closed with to-day. To give the results it will be necessary to explain in a few words the terms need in marking the different grades of scholarship. Tnere are ten schools in the University, of whiob eight are Academic, one of Law, (now vacant ) and one of Medicine. The eight Academic Schools are divided into Senior and Junior Classe:*. In the Senior Class the student who applies tor examination either gradu?tes or fails; the lower divisions amount? ing to nothing. Graduating in four schools two literary and two scientific-entitles the graduate to the degree of Bachelor uf Arte, provided he shall have previously attained distinctions-at an intermediate and final examination in the junior classes of any two of the remaining schools. The degree or | proficient ie conferred for satisfactory attain? ments in such departments of each school (such as engineering in the school of mathe? matics) as the 'acuity may designate and pub? lish. In the junior classes there are four divi? sions, named by their numbers. The exami? nations are conducted in writing, and a day usually devoted to each school, the labor being li juted to six hours. The questions submit? ted to the students hare numerical values at? tached to them, the aggregate of the values being one hundred, for convenience ot calcula? tion. If the values of the answers of the stu? dent amount in the aggregate to not iee? than seventy-five per cent., he is ranked in tbe first ] division; if less tb an three- fon rt LB and more ] than one half, in the second division; if less j than one half and more than one-fourth, in the ! third; and if lees than one-fourth, in the fourth. The term stands are considered, but not nu? merically counted in deter joining the grades. The preliminary examination waa held the first day of the general examinations. Io it all applicants for degrees were examined in English, who h ad not been so examined at pre- ? viona sessions. All who applied passed. In the School of History, under Professor I Barnwell, Chairman of the Faculty, there were j 9 came forward in the senior class for examina? tion to graduate; and of these 8 graduated and 1 Sailed. In the junior 14 came forward for, examination; and of these 10 took the first di? vision, 2 the second, 1 the third, and 1 the fourth. Two were not examined. In tbe School of Ancient Languages, Profes jor Rivers, there came forward in the Senior I Latin 15; of whom 14 graduated and l failed. In tba Senior Greek 10 came forward; af whom i graduated and one failed. In the Junior Latin 10 came forward; of whom 7 took the first Basion, 2 Ute second, and 1 the fourth. Ooe declined Anination. In the School of Modern Languages, Profes? sor Sachtleben, there were examined in Sen? or French 12, of'Whom ll graduated andi Sailed. lu the Senior German 3 were examin? ai, and all graduated. In the Junior Frenob 3 vere examined, of whom 2 took first division aid 1 the second. In the Junior German 2 rera examined, of whom 1 took first division ad 1 fourth, ?n* the School of Rhetoric, Professor La torde, there were examined 17 seniors, of whom 6 graduated and 1 failed. Of these 16 six ook the mtximunwlOO; that is, answered sat sfactonly every question. In the junior class [ were examined, who all took the first divi? den. In the School of Logic and Ethics, the Bev. [>r. Reynolds Chaplain, there were examined 10 seniora, who all grad noded. In t he junior 12 vere examined, of whoota took first division, L second, and 3 fourth. In the school of mathematics, Professor alexander, there were 10 seniors examined; >f whom 8 graduated apd 7 failed. One de? fined examination. Of the 3 gradu?tes, one ook maximum. In the junior, 17 were exa tu? ned; of whom 8 took first division, 2 second, I third, and 5 fourth. In the Department of j Sngineering, which is a part of the school of | nathematioa, four students were examioed ind all took the degree of proficient. This ichool is regarded by the student a as tbe bard ist in the curr ionium; and tho thoroughness >t the work done is indicated by the fact that leven-tenths of the applicants for graduation ailed to attain it, while of the three who did if tain it, one took maximum. In the School of Natural Philosophy, Profes? or John LeConte, in whose absence the St?? hes hare been divided between P'ofessors roseph LeConte and Alexander, 5 seniors were ixamined, of whom 3 graduated and 2 failed. Five dealined ?rumination. The junior portion >f thia school was discontinued upon the with Irawal of Professor John L?Conte, who re ligned la it December to accept a chair in the University of California. In the School of Chemistry. Professor Jo ieph LeConte, -there were sixteen seniors ex tunned; of whom 13 graduated and 3 failed. 3f the graduates, 8 took maximum, and 4 de? stin ed examination. In the department of ge fiogy in this school' there were three appli ?anta for the degree of pro?cteut, who all at jdned ic. There was no junior class in cbem stry. In tho Sch xii of Law there were no exami ia tiona, that chair being still vacant, not hav ng been filled since tbe resignation of Prof. iaakell kai year Ia the School of Medicine there were three ipphcinte for the degree of M. D. They have ill attained it with credit, the lowest a sr gre - rate being 86. This degree wdl be conferred nih tho others on the Public Day. The Med cal School is ander Prof. Darby, of Anatomy md Sorcery; Prof. Talley, of the Practice of j Medicino and Obstetrics; Prof. LeConte, of HhemiBtry and Pharmacy; Prof. LaBoide, of | Physiology and Hygiene; Prof. John LeConte, >f Materia Medica and Medical Jurisprudence; md Dr. Smith, Demonstrator of Anatomy. Tbe branobes of Materia Medica and Medical Jurisprudence have been continued, sicco the iv it h drawal of Dr. John LeConte, ^fb?a asso? ciates, and taught with great care and thor Highness. Such are the resulte thus far of the exami? nations. The conferring of degrees and awards ot merit and proficiency will be done on Tuesday, the 29th instant. That day is known as the Publia Day, which corresponds bo the commencement day of the college io its other days. Aa to the character of the work done at these examinations, I have enjoyed an oppor? tunity of examining tbe printed questions upon which tbe various schools were examin? ed; and I find them, without a single excep? tion, carefully made out, searching, and cover? ing the subject matters taught, both in their general principles and in illustrative details. Th? work of teaching and examining is tho? roughly done; the results of study aro given in the figures above. There were fifty-three in all who were exam? ined, the number of students at the olose of (he session being about sixty. Those who declined to come forward for examination did so with permission, with the provision that they ap? pear at the next examinations. Some of these had entered the University too late in the pre . sent session to get over the entire courao ; and took the partial coarse as a preparatory train? ing for next October's session. The Board of Trustees, which moot ou the 21st, adjourned to meet again on the 12th July. The valedictory oration of tho E up bra lian Society was delivered this ovening in tho hall of the society, by Mr. Edgar L. Clarkson, or j Columbia. HiB subject was ti lutbern Charac? ter, and the speech earnest and handsomely put. The audience was select and quite as large as the ball could accommodate. At tho same ti ne the society distributed its diplomas. Eight members received this token of its favor. These society diplomas are (riven to those members who take in the University certain degrees. The valedictory of the Clariosophic Society is to come off in the hall of that society on Monday evening, by Mr. John F. Townsend, of J Edisto. The commencement exercises are to be held on the Public Day in the library of the Uni? versity. The commencement ball is to be a brilliant affair, as already announced, on Tuesday eve? ning, at the Colombia Hotel. COBSAIB, THE SEA ISLAND CROPS. LEITER FROM AN EXPERIENCED AND HIGH LY SUOOEPfclFUL PLANTER. The Crop Prospects on Edisto ?nd the Neighboring Islands--. A Poolish Ex? periment-The Freedmen-Systems of Labor and their Relative Advantage! j -The Area Planted and Probable Yield-The Troth about the Caterpil? lar-Honey In Sea leland Cotton Pro pe ri y Cultivated. EDISTO ISLAND. June 22,1869. TO TBE EDITOB OF THE NEWS. To your letter inquiring the condition, pros? pect, &c, of the growing crop of sea island cotton, I have deferred an answer until now, when I can speak more reliably. The fine growing weather, with its bot and dry days, and heavy dews at night, which we have had for the past month, has caused our crops of | cotton to recover from the effects of tbe cold Boring, and is pushing them rapidly for ward to a state of fruitfulness and promise. Blooms are to be seen everywhere over our fields, and the crops are io a good and well-worked con? dition. This remark, however, does not apply to such planten who are again repeating the thrice-tried experiment of planting largely and reaping sparingly. Re Dort says of them that Qen. Oreen bas taken possession of some por? tions of their extended domains, and when, in response to (he call of enlisting sergeants, who recruit over the whole island for a fight, they meet, tl? ?aid the battle is terrific-the dead are left to bury their dead-dead cotton over? laying dead grass. These calls upon the agri? cultural forces of the planters make labor at times hard to be got, and only at ruinous prices. This practice must result in disaster, and until then, the small boats must keep near shore. The crops of corn have suffered from the effects of dry weather. There is a very marked improvement in our laboring population. Since the removal of the Freedman's Bureau, the freedman finds he bas to rely noon his own exertions for a support, and he works more cheerfully, more contented? ly, and altogether more efficiently. The sys? tem of labor is by contract-for two days' work out of every week for land, in place or wages an i rations. Some fdr three days for land and rations in place of wages, and some for wages for the whole time, at the rate of a hundred d Jlars per year, and rations equal to fifty dol? lars more. The latter contract is in every re? spect the best, both Tor employer and em? ployee; but the freedmen much prefer the first, as it gives them more time at their own disposal, but much less money in their pockets in the end. In order to support them - Reives under the first system they wander about the island for two days io earn week, with their hoes on their shoulders in search for "day labor," which is usually paid for ia pro? visions at no small profit to the employer. Tbe area of land under cultivation is about the same as last year, but as nearly half of this is under the sole management of the freedmen, and almost invariably badly attended, the yield will necessarily be one f mrth less. About a month ago there was a great hue and cry raised about the appearance of the dreaded caterpillar already in our fields. It has passed away, as I predicted. If such a cool and dry spring as we have had produces the caterpillar, thea the experience of forty years is worth nothing, nor are tba sea island lauds worth planting in cotton. I have no doubt that this enemy to the cotton plant is always fresenl when the plant grows, but it requires a wet and hot M ty and June to produc? them destructively. Bad and improper cultivation, by which the plants are kept back and made to produce young and tender branches at a time when they should be ripening to maturity, will furnish suitable food for this worm late in the Bummer; whereas by judicious cultivation the plants would have been too matured to be in? jured by them or to encourage their increasing io numbers. The system of cotton planting speculation which has prevailed for the three past years has had something to do with the regular appearance of the caterpillar io our fields. Several hundreds, or even thousands, of acres are put in cotton, little or no manures aro used, the cultivation bad and slovenly, the plants contending all the while with grass and poverty, no progress toward fruitfulness is at? tained until the grass growing period is over, when the cotton plant starts to put forth ita young and tender branches just in lime to feed these worms, always more or less present about tho first of September. Money, and a plenty of it, is lo bo made by sea island cotton planting, but it must bo dono by high manuring and good cultivation. "What is worth doing at all is worth doing well." Oar forefathers acted on this principle and made princely fortunes. Labor isas chenpnow, il not cheaper, than it was then, but the desire to grow quickly rich was not as prevalent with them as it is with us, and the result bas been that es? tates wbich it took them their lifetime to ac? quire, many of us bave lost in two years. I believe there is a brighter f ature awaiting us, and those who may sutvive this transition state will witness a condition of things better suited to their permanent peace and enjoy? ment. ? M. -The Canadians hope at some future lime to bave a monarchy set up in the United States, and upon the prospect of such a thing the To? ronto Leader says: ' We do not expect to see any such great change carried on in our day as the eataDlisbment of a m -marco v upon the ruins of the Republic; but still events equally remarkable and important have occurred in late years, and who can toll what the future may have in store for our neighbors ?" RELIGIOUS IXTELZIOESCE. Thc Approaching (Ecumenical Conn? ell-Interesting Particulars. Tho Archbishop of Baltimore, having ad? dressed loiters of inquiry to Borne in regard to certain points interesting to the Bishops of the United Statos who proposa to attend the ap? proaching General Conned of the Vatican, has boen favored with replies, containing all that is of practical importance, chiefly fer the inf jrm alion of t nogo Prelates of the Province who expressed to him an interest in the subject and asked his opinion. It may be added that from a private letter received from what is rec arde il as a reliable dource in Borne, it is probable that each Archbishop and Bishop will bo allowed to bring or appoint one theologian to the Council, whose name will appear on the CDC cd ?arv re? cord. WHO ?BS INVITED TO THE COUNCIL -THE CATHO? LIC HTEBABCHX. Entitled to a seat in the Council, and there? fore included in the Papal invitation, are the cardinals, bishops, abbots and Generals ol re? lierions orders. Bishops are entitled to a seit by Divine right; cardinals, in case they are not at the same time bishops, abbots and generals of religious orders, by ecclesiastical law or privilege. The number of those who hare been invited is considerable. According to the Annoario Pontificio for 1868, the official Papal Almanac, tbe Roman Catholic Church had at the beginning of the year 1868,12 Patriarchates, 132 Archbishoprics of the Latin rite, and 7 Archbishoprics of Orients! rites; 651 Bishop? rics of the Latin rite, and 63 Bishoprics of Orien? tal rites; giving a total of 865 dioceses. Of these about 100 are vacant, leaving 750 prelates who have bee.i invited to the Council. Tbe College of Cardinals bad in 1868 25 members who were not bishops. The number of gene? rals of religious orders, according to the Papal Almanac, is about 50. Tbe number of mitred abbots is also considerable. In Holland there is a small sect of Catholics called the Jans?n? iste, the descendants of those who refused to submit to tbe decree of the Popes against the writings of Bishop Jansemus, who lived in the seventeenth century. Tbeydeny the infallibili tv of the Pope, bnt are willing to submit to an (Ecumenical Council, lhey have one arch? bishop, two bishops, and a population of about 8000 souls, all of whom, it may be regarded as certain, sill on this occasion unite with the church. PEEP ABATTONS FOB THE COUNCIL. The preparations which, as already stated, wets begun m 1867, soon after the announce? ment of the Pope's intension to convoke tbe Council, have been actively continued ever since. The Supreme Dire nive Congregation is composed of seven Cardinals, six of whom are Italians, and one a German. To them are joined, as consultora, several bishops and lea ra ed priests, among whom ore four Italians, one Englishman. ( Mgr. Talbot, ) one Profes Bor of the University of Lau vain, in Belgium, and Professor H?tele, of the University of Tu? bingen, in Ger many. The latter is the author of by far tbe best history of the Councils of the Christian Church, a work of solid and pro? found learning, and valued by Protestants as highly as by Catholics. Under the direction of tbis Congregation,special commissions prepare the matters to be discussed and decided open by the bishops. There IB a commission of cere? monies, a politico-ecclesiastical commission, a commission for Eastern Affairs, one on the re? ligions orders and congregations, one of dogmatic theology, one ot ecclesiastical disci? pline. Italy tass, of course, a larger share in the selection of the members of these commis? sions than any other nation ; next to Italy, Catholic Germany has furnished the largest number. The United States are represented by Dr. Corcoran, of Charleston ; England, by Mgr. Talbot and *U r. Howard. Dr. Newman was invited to assist, but declined on account of infirm health. Dr. Doll in ger, the great church historian of Munich, bas also been in? vited, bat bas declined tbe invitation. For the first time in the history of the (Emmenical Councils, thanks to tbe art of stenography, a literal account of the entire proceedings will be taken, and tbe provisions of this kind have been completed. An Austrian bishop of note, Dr. Fessier, of St. Polten, has received the ap? pointment of Secretary of the Council. The sessions of the Connoil will be held in one of the large chapels of St. Peter's Church, ana the principal architects of Borne are aotivelv engaged io making the necessary accommoda? tions. THE TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED. The names of the special commission which we have mentioned before, indicate that the Council, like its predecessors, will extend its discussions and decisions over a large variety of subjects, embracing points of Christian doctrine, ecclesiastical discipline, and politico ecclesiastical polity. Among tbe subjects whioh are likely to attract prominent attention are mentioned the reunion of the Eastern Churches with Rome, the relation of the Church to the modern State, especially with regard to the question ot public instruction; the position of monastic orders, in tbe thorough reformation of whioh the present Pope has always taken especial interest. Many absurd and sensation? al reports have beon published on this subject by the Roman correspondents of the political press, especially 'hat of England, lt is natu? ral to suppose thal hardly any trustworthy in? formation will find it way to the publi:, except through the channel ot the Roman papers. HOW LONG THE COUNCIL IS Ll EELY TO LaBT. With regard to this question, which is fre? quently asked, tbe Paris Monde, one of the most influential papers of the Catholic world, remarks : "The C >uncil of Trent lasted eigh? teen years; bul it was the longest of any of the Councils, and its real labois only lasted for about five years." The jfonde expects that, unless unforeseen events intervene, the delib erations can be finished by the end of the year 1370. Should new questions present them? selves, the summer of 1870 would be employed for preparatory work, and the- final session would take place in the winter of 1870 to 1871. The German Protestant Demonstration at Worms. The gathering of German Protestants at Worms, Germany, on the 31st of May, to re? spond to the invitation of the Pope to return to the Catholic Church, was an imposing affair. The occasion is described at length by a cor? respondent of the New York Post. At six o'clock in the morning the bells of the Trinity Church aroused the sleepers. The streets were rapidly filled, flags were displayed from roof and window and steepie, and wreaths of flowers and green branches almost covered the fronts of many of the houses. The cars brought in immense loads of visitors during the morning, and by ten o'clock at least twenty-five thousand strangers were in the city, and the number continually increased daring the day. At ten o'clock about eight hundred eccle? siastical delegates had arrived, and subse? quently want in procession to Trinity Cburc.i. The edifice viii hold but five or six thousand oersons at the utmost, and many thousands of course could not find entrance After religions exercises an address was delivered by Dr. Bluntschli, of Heidelberg, president ot thc day. Dr. Schenkel, of Heidelberg University, fol? lowed, unfolding the nature of German Pro? testantism, and its religions, moral, political and social blessings to mankind. He closed by proposing five theses or declarations agnnst the Papacy for adoption, as follows: "1. We. Protestants assembled this day in Worms, feel in our conscience impelled, with full recognition ot the rights of conscience ot our Catholic fellow-Christians, with whom we would live in peace, but also iu perfect con? sciousness of the religious, moral, political and soc al blessings of tbe Reformation Waich we enjoy, publicly and solemnly to protest against the invitation addressed to us in the so-called apostolical letter of September 13 1868, that we should return to the communion ot the Ro? man Catholic Church. ? '2. Ever ready to unite, on the basis of the pure Gospel, with our Catholic fellow-Cbiis 1 ians, we nevertheless protest equally as em? phatically to-day as did Luther in Worms, and our fathers ia ?pei*?r three hundred and fifty years ugo, against every hierarchical and priest? ly guardianship; against all compulsion of the spirit and oppression of the conscience; in ca? pee al, against the principles announced in the encyclical letter of December 8,1864, and the syllabus therewith connected, which are per? nicious to the State and opposed to civiliza? tion. 13. To our Catholic fellow-citizens and fel? low-Christians we reach here, at tbe foot of the Luther monument, our bandon Ihe ground of the Christian spirit, German sentiment and modero civilization which wo have in common with them. We expect from them, however, that they will unite with ns for the protection of our hiebest national and spiritual blessings, at present endangered, and In tho conflict against the common enemy of religious peace, national unity and the free development of civilization. "4. The obief canse of the religious differ? ences, which we deeply lament, we declare to be the hierarchical errors, particularly the ac? tions of tho Jesuit order, which combats Pro? testantism with life and death, suppresses all spiritual freedom, falsifies the modern civiliza* tion, and at present rules the Roman Catholic Church. Only by the determined rejection of the hierarchical pretensions, which were re? newed and have.ever been inoroasing since 1815; only by the return to the pure Gospel, and the recognition of tho attainments of civilization, can divided Christendom regain peaoe aod secure permanent prosperitv. "Finally, we all declare that all the efforts mads in the Protestant Church to establish an hierarchical power of the clergy and the ex? clusive supremacy of dogmas, aro a complete denial of the spirit of Protestantism, and that they only serve as so many bridges to Borne. Convinced that lukewarmness and indifference afford to roany Protestan ts of the ecclesiastical reactionary party a. maiu support, and consti? tute in the meet powerful of German States a principal hindrance to national and ecclesiasti? cal re'iewal, we exhort our coreligionists to watchfulness, and to units in a more powerful repulsion of all tendencies dangerous to free? dom of mind and conscience." Tbe adoption of these declarations was advo? cated in eloquent addresses by Dr. Schellen berg, of Manheim, Dr. Vin Boitzendorff, Professor in Berlin, and Dr. Haase, from Bielitz, in Austria. All the speakers were constantly.interrupted by the applause of the assembly, though the president often reminded the people of the place in which they were gathered. One spirit seemed to pervade the whole assembly, and the theses were adopted with great enthusiasm, only six or eight hands being raised against them. The theses were subsequently read to the multitude who could not gam access to the church. Tbe Episcopal Church Differences. The New York Tribune says : It almost takes away one's breath to read of a churchman rising in a Protestant Episcopal Conference, and demanding that "the misera? ble dogma of Apostolic Succession'' shall be expurgated from the Bookof Common Prayer. This is wbat Dr. Bowen, of Ohio, did in tbe Conference at Chicago on Thursday last. We do not exactly understand whether "the Confer? ence went with the doo*oi or not; but it certain? ly did pase a resolution in favor of removing from the Pn.yer-book "all words or phrases seeming to teach that tbe Christian ministry is a priesthood " The Church has now a Com? mittee of Bevision, which is declared to be "a body in perpetuity.* Thia would seem to go pretty far toward the existence of a sect within a church which abhors sectarianism; and if we may judge by the past, a schism set ms not im? probable. A New York letter, of Thursday, to the Philadelphia Ledger says : The extreme Ritualists tb is afternoon aston? ished "moderate" Episcopalians by another higuly peculiar service at Christ Church, Fifth avenue. The occasion waa the baptism of an infant of tbe rector, Dr. Ewer. After forming a procession and marching around the church, preceded by an "acolyte" carrying a lighted candle, the rector took the latter from ita socket and dipped it in the water three times. The infant waa then dipped in a similar man? ner, after which the candle was transferred to the hands of the sponsor; after which an ele? gant white robe waa thrown over' the infant, the clergy all the while singing a chant.

Alt AWFUL ALTERNATIVE. -The Fort Atkin? son, Wisconsin, Herald has the following : "A dreadful report was current in thia village, yes? terday, that a mad dog had bitten two chil? dren-a boy of seven and a girl of four-io the Town ot Milford, in this county, and that thc parents, whose names we did not learn, were informed by the attending physicians that the only possible way for the children to escape the agonies of rabies would be to take their lives. Incredible as it may seem, they admin? istered an opiate to the boy and b'od him to death, and the girl was smothered in a feather bed. There seems to be no doubt of thia, aa lt ia well attested. TEVCKINO. -The Norfolk Virginian of Thurs? day last says : "The season for truckers in this vicinity is nnw at its height, and the vast quantities of produce which finds ita way to tn is port for transportation North is really wonderful to those unacquainted with the business. The business of shipping seems also to have received increased impetus this season, and it seems as if every third house in the lower part of the city had gone into it heels over head. Every steamer which leaves this port for a Northern market is freighted to ils utmost capacity, and still much produce is left on the wharves after every trip.'' -Tbe-vAbyssinian war, it bas cow been as? certained, caused the enormous expenditure of $43 865.030, or $10.000 000 over the original rouen estimate, and $7,000,000 in excess of the second corrected estimates. A great part of this Bum was absolutely wasted, and many scandalous transactions bave been reported. Ships lav for many months at so much demur? rage a day, and their cargoes were at last sold for the benefit of the owners of the vessels, not being required for the army. Mules ia large numbers were sold for a trifle at Suez, having been bought at an enormous price in remote markets, and women were brought from Bomb tv to grind corn who never did any work at all. 'lu answer to this, the Secretary of War says that tbe English Government was suddenly called upon to provide for 40,000 men and 30,000 animals, and that war is always exceedingly wasteful In anoient times, war was waged much more cheaply, but now an army carries with it almost everything con? sidered as necessaries by a civilized nation.
