The Synod of South Carolina now in session in Charleion, is warmly engaged in the discussioi .'>f the important question of l)r. Thouweix's removal from the- | presidency of tie South Carolina College, in order to his becoming professor of The- ! olugy in (lie Th^logical Seminaiy Colum- j ! bia. Both tin! (pun-li, and State are deep- ! ly interested in tliis debate; ami wo must j think, knowing inueli as we do from ex ! j pericnce, of thcuuc.tor*' influence upon n j 1 largo portion o. promising youth of j tho State. that (,> "*._ desired by many ( members of Sj 110J, would b?? n ] bad move for both parties. Tho main plea t for this change, seems to bo, that it is ' thought by soin>i absolutely necessary to 5 place a professor in that chair of tho Seminary, whose peculiar scientific and logical ability will enable him to supply his pupils with the same- strong weapons against ' the intdduous attacks of modern infidelity. ^ Wo have long wished fur an opportunity , to say a word 011 this subject. >; It seems then that the Bible has indeed : become quite old fashioned, and fogyish , its teachings and influence that in former days made St. Paul and the whole army of myrtars invincible against^nll the attacks of the adversary, must now be rein forced in its own chair by the subtle appliances of modern science. We take this view of the question, because we are fully aware of the fact, that there now sits in the Theological chair of the Seminary one of the ablest biblical scholars "*V}ie_ * "r '**' tfitTprSFouiid/readj Pledge he possesses of the Scriptures, is not sufficient to prepare the pupils for the future duties as ministers of the Gospel, in this matter of fighting against the encroachments of infidelity, tho Biblical.part of the professorship had better be abolished al- g together. We do not sav. bv anv means. 1 that a young minister of the gospel should not be well instructed in every department of scientific lore, his profession subsidises evety branch of learning; but wo insist that the chair of Theology should be the chair of Theology, and not a mixture of the two, as if one was not perfect without the other. The Seminary is not tlio school to learn the sevew art of polemics; the academy and college are the proper arena for theso preparatory exercises. It does not appear either that the alumni of the seminary are deficient in theological dialectics ; many of tyem are doing more at this moment for }he advancement of the blessed Masters' kitgdom than any other class of men in tha State ; some of them would do honor tp nny country. On this single negative consideration therefore, we must object most periously to the contem? plated change. ^ i m Meagher Utiards.?It will J)0 seen j by the proceedingiin another voIototi, th:it t this public spirited company some time t since extended a* invitation to Thomas t Francis Meagher to:deliver a Iccturo in oor < city in behalf of th^ Ladies' Calhoun Mon 1 ument Association^ We arc gratified in t beivg able to stat?jhat Mr. -Meagher hat I accepted the invimion.
