Dear ;?A copy of the resolutions! which thlpstudenls of the South Carolina College adopted on Tuesday last, has been , presented to me this moment, and the warmest feelings of an affectionate acknowledge-' ment prompt me to exprew at once to you, and through you to the Students, my gratitude for that portion, which relates more especial* to the opinion entettain#*! by them of my'WNulness, and assures mc of their kind fce|ings toward rne. Of this portion alone y?*u will permit mo to *peak in iny roply to your' resolution*. Gratitmle is a forcible term ; peculiarly strong when used by a teacher toward those he teaches; yet I use it in its plain and true) meaning?without indulging in any compli-1 mentary exageration. It is grateful to my heart to know that those who think they have derived some benefit from tnv teach ing, feel also an affectionate regard for me; and I am thankful to you for the public cx ! pression of this regard, because sonic personr have deemed it proper to make other* believe that I have not that in mo which gain* the hearts and sonle as well as the heads of the young and the ardent. If what has thus been unkindly advanced were true, it would be one of the bitterest failures in the whole of tuy checkered life. I have often told you how high and snored I hold the relation between the teaeher and the taught. We have contemplated together the affectionate friendship which quickened the lives of Socrates and his fol lowers, and eased the great man's death; and, above all, we have dwelled on that love which was a living bond between Ilim, who is the divine typo of the teacher, whom he calls his friends.* Again and again I have stated to you what I hold to be an important truth, that besides the pupils' esteem of the teacher's intellect, there is nothing that constitutes so raiultr . ? * ' ' j ? wur^niKO U( KllUWiedgf, eTtll though it were of a purely intellectual character?nothing that has so great a power to make the pupil a ready and fertile recipient of the proffered seed, and to give to the teacher a buoyancy of spirit and delight in imparting knowledge, as an affectionate friendship uniting the one with the other.? Good will is the best interpreter. It has existed and still exists between us, and I now wish to add, that, if circumstances shall prorent roe from complying with the desire which you kindly express, this friendship and good-w ill will be in my retirement a I greater solace thAn the consciousness that I have not labored wholly in vain in the sacred cause of transmitting knowledge to the rising generation. I bog you to assure the Students that while I have not put a prospective term to my connection with this institution in a sudden feeling of resentment, 1 have not done it without pain. I had identified myself with the College. The bonds which connect a man with a great and beneficial institution, and one that is interwoven with the history of the Commonwealth, are but little inferior to the ties which knit man in loving families, and those that bind him to his country. Neither of them can bo sever-! eri without bleeding. Once more, I thank you and all the Students heartily and with emotions, which assure me that this incident will ever be re-1 inembered as one of the most grateful occurrences of my life. Your friend anil teacher FRANCIS LEIBER. To Mr. J. T. Darby, Chairman, drc. Johx Randolph and Henry Clay.?In the jear next preceeding Mr. Randolph's death, Mr. Clay writes to Judge Brooks: uYou ask how amity was restored between Mr. Randolph and rue.

In the lest speech which Mr. Randolph ever made?that on the hustings at Buck, ingham court house?after dwelling on the tUcb threatened danger of dieunion, he ie re ported to have snM: "There is one man, and \ one Mtanouly, who ?<m save this Union; that it Henry Clay.

It is well known that the Division of the Sons of Temperanco at this place has been a "dead letter" for some time?known only . as one of the things of other days?its members scattered in such confusion ns almost to disqualify any one from telling which side he belonged to?their place of meeting was indeed "a banquet hall deserted." Three weeks ago?failing in stindr/efl^rts to bring the hosts of temperance to tho rttpcue, and following instructions from head-quarters?' we surrendered the charter as derelic. Since then efTorts have been made to found a new ' Division of the Sons in our town, and we are happy to say those efforts havo not been entirely unsuccessful. We have the names of near thirty young men of oui tow> who have signified their willingness to unite in! the work, and we have not tho slightest > doubt but that the " new order of things " I will work well.

A correspondent on the spot, writing under date of Monday, the 4th instant, sends the subjoined particulars: -T Some mischievous sophomores, wishing to get off from reciting, and also to tease one of the Professors, effected an entrance into his room, on last Tuesday night, and daubed his black-boards with tar. Hie Faculty, not feeling disposed to tolerate such amusement', used all their energy to ferret out the often* ders. They cast their suspicions upon two of their number, who in the course of their examination not only criminated themselves, but to somo extent implicated two others'J Upou their evidence tho Faculty have dis-f, missed them all. llie body of the s Indents became exas;?erated at such proceedings, nearly nil ot* whom concur in believing the hitter two innocent. They were, nevertheless; disposed to act in a mild and peaceable manner, and thereforo drew up a petition prating the immediate reinstatement to those two. . This petition the Faculty considered an infringement upon their authority and judgment, whieh tended still inoro to rouse the indignation of the students, who immediately, drew up a resolution declaring that they would attend to no more College duties until these two wero reinstated. This was rigned by eighty-seven of their number, there being in all one hundred and sixteen students. We learn that the difficulty has since been settled. .. .. The Monroe Doetrtae* .tv ..v ar ia1 The Natioual Intelligencer of Wednesdaj devotes a page, evincing tlie u'suat ability / and research of its editors, to the history >bfr the Monroe doctrine. The conclusion* Hfticcd at are stated as follows : . j0. We have thus endeavored to lay before our readers a faithful history of a much mooted topic in American politics. Let us briefly recapitulate the pionts we have, ar *o think, e?tabli?hed beyond successful con-, trovcrsy. 1. That the Monroe declaration of 18*23; in both it* phases, had its origin in the changed relations and now res|>onsibilitie* imnruip<l nn ll,<? Kt?i^ .1? v J -V. v.. ...V VHHtO ?/| llic iiliicri" can Continent, arising "especially from the emancipation of tho Spanish Col >nie*,i&Rd; rendering it conducivo to the interest of all, that the Ameriuan Continent* should not'l>o | subject to future colonisation by any European Vowet; and that no foreign State or Stales should bo allowed to intervene in the domes tic affairs of anv American people for <4lt? < purpose of suppressing republican institn- ; tion*. 2. That the Monroe declaration, in ho far . as it related to the threatened intervention of the Holy Alliance in the concerns of the Spanish American States, was intended to meet a particular contingency of event*, and therefore passed away with the occasion which called it forth. * 3. That the Monroe doctrine, in so far it relates to the colonization of tho American Continents by any European Power, was not intended to bind the United States to guard til tire territory of the New Woild from such jeeupation by European Slates; but was intended to indicate, as an important principle >f American public policy, that "each State should guard-by its osvu means against W' sstabiishtnent of anv future Euronasn U% * iy." -'i; ,4. Thai the ^Monroe doctrine" Was rtot ??jf any proper sense "a pledge," and as such" a-as especially discarded by the Democratic partv. The current interpretation of the "Monroe loctrine" has, therefore, no foundation in the truth of history ; and, if defended at ail, must tie defended on its intrinsic merits, as a proposition wholly distinct and different from hat which was conceived by its author or afIrmed by its promulgator, whose destiny it lias been to give his name to a principle for which he never contended. Mr. Barclay, of Pennsylvania, having enleavored to justify his course in not voting Tor Mr. Aiken for Speaker, on the gronnd bat he had made certain assurances to Mr.'.

Ha was informed of ; the mission of the oompany, and, tlio' fear- , fiil of the chill night air, could not hesitate j accompanying the party. He was conducted j to the Court house yard, and stripped. A large quantity of pitch had been prepared for the occasion, with the contents of several bags of feathers.

Chronicle has the following notice of the execution of this man, convicted of murdering his own father: On the day of his execution he called a friend or two in jail, and besought them to join him in prayer until the last moment of ki? earthly existence; he sent out a supplication for the prayers of the vast multitude then and there assembled.

' Arriving at the gallows ho sued for the last moment, and begged every Christian on the ground to pray for him.

No place for meeting is yet decided upon. A despatch received on Saturday, the day of the Porsia's departure, says it will certainly be in Paris or London The despatch, however, is of doubtful authenticity. It also states that Baron Brunord will be the liussian plenipotentiary. It will be Febuary 3d, at least, bcforo all the preliminary signatures are appendea to the agreement to meet. A Rare "Wkddiko Night.?In the Police Court of Boston, on Friday afternoon, one Stephen King was arraigned charged with assaulting his wife lindget. Tlie wife was placed upon the witness stand and told a pnmir tale. From her testimony it appeared that the couple were married on the 18l|i ult , and upon the wedding-night the husband retired to the nuptial couch with his boots on. To this manner of precednre Bridget objected, and upon remonstrating with her parlher she was cruellv beaten.? After all this base treatment, the woman's generous nature prompted her to entreat the court to forgive her husband, and through her entreaties, he was fined but one cent and the actual costs of the rase.

A Gaowixc Stat'k.-?Texas has increased in population very tapidlr. In 1850, the census gave it 212,502 inhabitants. At the Prcsidental election in 1852, the total rote cast was 18,547. As the population had increased considerably in the period between 1850 and 1852, it must then have been near 300,000.
