Thursday Morning, November 6, '73. Wo Hbtb L>6%t In Losing* the "Lend Scrip., i The Congress of the United States, in obedience to v^hat Boomed a demand or'neoessity for a new scientific educa? tion, supplemental to tbo old usually imparted m colleges, and more in har? mony with the spirit of the age, passed a law, bearing date July 2, 18G2, grant? ing to each Stute a munificent donation of. public lands to establish a oollege where ?oienoe audits applications should be taught. The annual inoome arising ,rom the Congressional grant must, in uccordanoe with its terms', be "inviola? bly appropriated by each State, which may take and olaim the benefits of this Act, to the endowment, support and maintenance of at least one oollege where the leading object shall be?with? out excluding other scientific and olasBi oal studies, and including military taotios ?to teach auch branches of learning us are related to agriculture and the me? chanical arts, in Buch manner as the Legislatures of the States may respect? ively presoriba in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial olassos, in the several pursuits and professions of life." Tho leading object, it will be peraoiveJ, is clearly indicated in the law, and mnst be, not to teaoh agricultcre merely as usually understood, but "to teaohsuoh branches of learning as aro related to agriculture aud tho mechanical arts." 'When this grant was made to the States, it was a question with educators whether it Would do more good if em? ployed separately, qr associated with colleges and universities already exist? ing'.' 'The preponderance of opinion I and praotioo has been largely in favor of | the last , mentioned plan. Of thirty three States that have carried out the provisions of. the Aot of Congress in establishing agricultural colleges under j this grant,'twenty-two have associated them with other colleges and universi? ties. . Considerations of economy and efficiency were urged in favor of this I plan. It was held,' too,' that it would be placing . the stamp of inferiority upon industrial education to dissociate it from ! .the great seats where oulture and the higher education were imparted. This was done in onr neighboring State of Georgia, and tho scientific institute is a part of the university, and has been proved to work agreeably and profitably in connection with it. The wisdom of' ao-ordinating .the two has been success? fully demonstrated. ' From the address of Prof. W. L'Roy Brown, President of the Geoigia State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arta, w,e learn t bat it has not cost the State a dollar to establish this scientific institute. It has beon tbo recipient simply of the bounty of the General Go vernment. The results have been ad? mirable. The authorities of tho Uni? versity, using only a portion of tho availuble fund, havs established the in? stitute at Athens, and a branch college iu Northern .Georgia, and have edu? cated iu the past year, fireo of obarge, uqarly ?100 students. Sp?th Carolina received her full quota of this national fund. What she might have done with it, we may infer from the brilliant example of Georgia. What she has done with it is only known to tho Financial Board aud its Now York agent. Are there not somo Re? publicans in South Carolina who will show a little mettle on this occasion? Do they all subscribe to the dootriuu of Whittemore, that those who have made way with the fund aro to go scott free, and the State itself held liablo for an equal amount? Is it oome to this, that tho Republicans can do nothing better than steal the public money, money for charity and uauoation, and then Bay that it could cot be helped? Legislative. The General Assembly appears badly demoralized by the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, that tho bills of the Bank of the State issued during the war are receivable for taxes, It has oast a thiok gloom over the body. Mr. Hurley says that'll the Treasurer has to receive theso evidences of indebtedness during the current year, it will break down the present Govern- I mont of Sooth Carolina, aud Republi? canism will go to the wall. Mr. Bowley thought the decision was a direct Blab at the heart of Republicanism. Mr. J. D. Boston said that he wua like the rest? ho did not know what to do. This de? cision, added to tho panic, high taxa? tion, and the struggle going on iu tbo Statu, had laid everything prostrate. Ha also thought it a dagger struck into the heart of the State Republican party. Mr. Artaon expressed himself in resolu? tions to the effect that the decision bo regarded as a direct blow at tbo State. -MtT^Hqtrgy? 'leiupdy' I* "WJ whip 'thr I devil round the stump." Mr. Bowley urges that sometbiog most be done, or the StatriB^iacdirHraJeo tblnls^ita duty to get ground ibe matter, and eitere the word which the virtuous Moses so droada?repudiation. Mr. J. D. Boston flees for refuge to the effete dootrine of States' rights. Mr. Artson's resolution proposes that the collection of taxes be suspended, and the Treasurer be au? thorized to issue certificates of indebt? edness. The matter is that taxes will bo paid in the bills, Which, when they reach the treasury, expire, aud cuu be no' more issued again. Thej are worse than of no use to au impeoanious State. If, for instance, they amount to $2,000, 000, and the' taxes, at fifteen milts, foot up to $2,250,000, they will nearly pay it. With only $250,000 in the treasury, oar beneficent rulers would be in a bad box. They are in a sad quandary about it, and are casting about for wuys and moans aud expedients to get round it. They held a oaucus last night, to which only the faithful were admitted. What? ever policy they have fixed upon must soon bo developed. They huve no com? punctious of couscionco, of course, in levying three or four per oent. taxes, bo as to have the needed surplus over the amount necessary to absorb the bills, but they may well shrink from any Buch experiment. Those who pay the tuxes, out of which these people live, and which they squander remorselessly, are gettiug tired of tho diversion. It is too much even for the colored peoplo to en? joy. Wo went down, yesterday, in the ex? pectation of hearing the fiuauuial status discussed. But tho legislative heart was too full for utterance. Wheu the decisiou ha9 hceu digested in caucus and cliques, the course of action will be indicated. The tug will coma soon. In the House, yesterday, the previous quostion was suspended on all questions couaeruing finance, by a vote of sixty yeas to twenty-five nays. Naht, the Caricaturist.?Somebody in New York calls for subscriptions for a testimonial to Thomas Nast, tho former caricaturist of Harper's Weekly. The inference is, therefore, that those who have used Nast lor political and sooial demoralization by his graphic and merciless caricatures have uow dropped him. The proposer of this scheme, hotvuvui*, speaks of Nast as one who has done so niuoh for tho cause of liberty that ho should not be "compelled to wander over America like a showman, and make speeches and draw pictures on black boards for a living to support his family." Surely any muu who could have drawn such refined aud delicate caricatures of so wicked a man as Ho? race Greeley, who could have so jocund? ly toyed with blasphemy, as he did, and who has labored so cheerfully aud as? siduously to keep alive old sores and heartburnings, is deserving of some warm aud heartfelt recognition at the hands of a grateful people. [JSaUimore Sun. Boiler Exrno.sioN at Greenwood.? On Saturday afteruoou last, at about 3 o'clock, '.he boiler of the steam mill of Mr. Wm.- II. Bailey, of Greenwood, ex? ploded, communicating tire to the build iug, and so seriously injuring the co? lored fireman, Bob Sims, that ho died in about six hours. Mr. Bailey was in the mill at tho time of the explosion, and was so hist cued iu by the falling timbers that it was with great difiioulty that Lo was rescued from the flames. A colored r.omiiu was badly burnt. The wheat, coru and saw mills, togotber with the cottou giu aud press, and sumo sixteeu or eighteen baiusof cotton, acre burnt, and the loss is estimated at 87,000. There was no insurance. The cause assigned fur the explosion was tho foroiug oi cold water into tho hcnled boiler, when the water was low. [Abbeville Danner. Rkv. Stuart Roiuson's Vindication. Dr. Stuart Robison, of Louisville, Ky., has recovered $25,UDO damages against the Chicago Post for publishing that ho advocated the propagation of yellow fovor through the North during the late war by means of infected clothing.

Tbe Synod was organized by electing tho Rev. Joseph 11. Wilson, D. D., Moderator, aud Col. F. W. MoMaslor Temporary Clerk. There were present only twenty-nine ministers and twci.?y-six ruling elders, an uuusually small representation, and the customary docket of business was soon disposed of. The narratives of tho state of religion from the differeut pres? byteries were full of iulerett aud encou? ragement. In several instances, large accessions to churches were reported. A general increase of ministerial consecra? tion, of evangelistic seal, of activity iu Sabbath School work, of attendance upon prayer meetings aud of Christian liberality, prevails throughout all the pro.-byteries. Tho subject of foreign missions re? ceived its usual prominence, aud a large and interesting mass meeting was held, upon which occasion addresses were made by Dr. Leigh ton Wilson, Dr. Plumer, Rev. D. E. Friersou and Rev. H. It Dicksoo, and a collection taken up for the cause, amounting to about $70. Letters of sympathy were addressed to tbe llev. Dr. Palmer, Uuv. Stokos Lee and Uuv. Dr. E. T. Buist, who were prevented from attending upou the sea sions of the Syuod by tho infirmities of age or serious illuoss. Au admirable paper was presented, prepared by the Rev. Dr. Howe, of Co? lumbia, containing a beautiful and touching tribute to the memory of the late and greatly-lamented Dr. Smyth, ? who, for niauy years, was one of the leadiug spirits in all our church courts, and who, by his eloquent voice and la? borious pen, in some respects, did more for tho cause of Presbytoriauism than any other minister iu our State. Sermons were preached during the sessions of tbe Syuod by Dr. Plumer, llev. D. E Friersou, Rev. J. S. Cosby, llev. G. R. Bruckott and by tho Mode? rator, the Rev. J. 11. Wilson, D. D. Dr. Wilson is a professor in the Theological Seminary, at Columbia. As a presiding olliccr, as a preacher, and as a debater in our synodical c&cusaioufl, we wero all impressed with his marked ability and elegant culture, and were inspired with uew cjuhdunce and pride in him us one of nur theological teachers. The subject which ohiefly occupied the attention of the Synod is the condi? tion of the Seminary at Columbia, which is just at present greatly embarrassed for want of funds. When Ihe statement was made of the immediate aud pressing necessities, occasioned by tho losses uf war, u falling off in the contributions of tbe churches, together with au increase in the number of students, au enthusi? asm was awakened in all hearts, which, wo trust, will be widely diffused. Our ecclesiastical relations to the colored people wero warmly discussed, and con? sumed the whole session of one day. Could our colored brethren have been prcseut and wituessed the doep and ten? der interest manifested iu their spiritual welfare, they must have been convinced that they had uo warmer friends than uro to bo found nmong Presbytcriaus. There was a general and earnest desire for immediate action, but it was deemed wiser, on tho whole, to return to the next General Assembly tho overture sont up to tho last annual meeting, but which, by somo mishap, failed to reach that body iu season to be acted upou. Tho Sabbath Schools of Cheraw wero addressed in tho aftornoon by Rev. Dr. Plumer nnd Rev. J. Lowry Wileou. Tho occasion was one of great interest nud solemnity. It was the general im? pression that this has been one of the most delightful meetings of Syuod ever held. The sermons were unusually ap? propriate nnd impressive; the dovo tioual exercises fervent and solemn ; tho deliberative 'discussions earnest und har? monious; the social enjoyment may ba best characterized by saying that they will over bo groun und fragrant iu our memory.

NovEMnut.?This mouth is called No? vember, from its place in tho old c.ien dar, although it is not now the ninth, but tho eleventh mouth iu the year. The Saxons called it Wint-mouath, or the wind-month, in reference, of course, to the gales of wind so prcvalont at this season. It ulso boro the name of Blot monatb, or tho bloody-montb, in allu? sion to tho great slaughter of cattle at this period for winter uso. Tho popular idea of November is of a dark, gloomy, rainy period, so happily described by Bryant, but. according to Frank Forest? er, it is the "hearty, brown, healthful November, harbinger of his bust joys to the sportsman," which, with "its sun less burning, but far mere beautiful than that of fierce July, a> tempered moro and softened by the rich golden haze of the Indian summer, with its wheat and buckwheat :<tabbles golden or bloody red; with its sere maize-leaves rustling in the breoze, whenoe tho quail pipes incessant; with its gay woodlands flaunting in their many-colored garb of glory; with its waters more dearly calm, more brilliantly transparent than those of uuy other seuson." There are, in? deed, days, and even weeks, that answer to this description, but, as December draws near, the clouds darken, and the "meliinoholy days" fully usurp their sway. The melancholy days aro come, tbo saddest of tho year. Of walling winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sure. Hoapud in tho hollows of tho grove, tho au? tumn loavea lio dead; Thoy rustle to the oddyiug. gust, and to tho rabbit's troad; Tho robin and tho wren arc flown, aud from thoshrubs the jay, a And from the wood-top calls the crow through all tho gloomy day. 1 h BxuJUJBiuai,<i?W4iMuj|fj i>0J-'pi This Lodge hdld their pobUo; ioBtalBi tion at' Meabmb Hill,' ityft Tuesday night.
