On Friday last, a difficulty occurred between Gipeon Southern and a man by the name of Brttoa, both residing in the vicinity of Chicks Springs in this District. In the fight Biuea dealt a blow with an axe upon the back of Southern, which felled biin to the ground. The blade of the axe penetrated some four inclr into the body, severing a portion of the spine. One jug of mean liqtior trad two equally as mean women were concerned in the matter. One of the women, as well as Bruce, has been committed to jail. We are not enabled to stato whether Southern is dead or sot. If he is not, lie will scarcely survive a very short time. He is a man or nsar sixty ycnrs, whose children and relations are highly respected in our District, and but for tho curse of liquor might have lived to a ripe old age, and filled iu death an honored grave. Since the Above was in type, we have learned that Southern died last night in consequence of the wound. Kansas. Wo have receives! a letter from a former young townsman, attached to Capt.

Wo would judge that it ? pretty cold out where he is, if his figures bo correct, and we do not doubt them.

CoireupooOeflce of lijc <?i)jefpri>sc. Difficulty between Students and Citizens? State of South Carolina College?City Items ? Celebration of Feb. 22d?Jlfiscellancc. Columbia, S. C. Feb. 25th, 1850. Dear Price:?As exaggerated accounts j of the difficulties which recently occurred between the Students of the South Carolina College and otir City I'olico aided by the citizens have doubtless reached you ere this, we must request you to publish the follow- j ing statement of the whole matter. We i clip it from the ^Nvw Era" of Friday last, < and it in as a whole impartial and reliable: I "On Monday night last, three Students of the South Carolina College came in front of tho Guard Hnu.-.o. One of tlicm called out the name of Mr. Iiurdell, (one of our police officers.) Mr. B. ca.t.o out, whereupon the I Student struck the Marshal a severe blow, (for what cause we know not, doubtless there was a cause.) Mr. Burdell was not slow in returning it, and so the fight commenced. Lie also carried the assailant, after the fight, into the Guard House, and being badly hurt, a Doctor was sent for to seo him. In the mean time, the other two Students had carried the news to the College of what had hap pened, when a pretty general onslaught upon the Guard House by all the Students was made, and their comrade conveyed therefrom. This was done at the expense of smashing in the window light* end breaking small things up generally. Thus ended | Monday night. On Tuesday morning, the I btudents, not feeling Eatisfled that they were ; even villi Mr. Burdull, two or three of them | made another attack upon him. In this fight, ! Mr. Burdell was roughly handled,and so were i two or three of the Students. The Students now assembled in masi, many of ihetn arm| ed. '1 he Mayor ordered out the Military i Companies to preserve order, and after some j two hours, the Students, at the solicitation of Dr. Tliormvell, Col. Win. C. Preston, and some other of our citizens, retired to College, since which time quiet has prevailed. We learn that on Thursday, by order of tlie Governor, the arms of the State which were in possession of the College Cadets were taken from the College" grounds." On Thursday the Student* held a meeting ; and appointed a Committee to wait on Governor Adams and to request him to restore the arms. The Governor in reply addressed the Students on Saturday morning, stating why the anna bad been taken away, auu dieclaimed any intention on the part of the Trustee# to ioauh the 8tudents; lie closed by * wartu and earnest appeal to the young men to continue in College until May next when the Trustees meet?and when the pe' tition /or re-organizing t?;ft Kscuky would low Of .to state, was Signed by * very large majority of the Student* aoU^ preseotaj to r the Trustees on Tuesday evening last. When the Governor finished, a resolution to disband until October next eras voted upon and adopted, ayes 19?*?sys 64. Owing, however, to dissatisfaction -of both parties in regard to the correctness of said vote, the resolution, was ordered for consideration op today. Accordingly it came up before a . full meeting and was rejected, ages C3?nays 66. It must be understood that this resolution was based on the refusal of Governor Adams to return the arms. In consequence of the disorganized condition of '.ho College, many Students have left and others are leaving every day. Wo fear the number ot Students will dwindle down to seventy-five or eighty, before March. The College is in a critical position?and it is mere folly to disguise the fact. We speak out, believing that in this instanco at least, good, not evil, will rosult from a truthful statement. Some seem to think that there has been ! for a.loug time ill will manifested between the Students and the citizens of Columbia. They believe that the difficulty we have spoken of wns an indirect result of it. This we utterly deny. The students and citizens are on good terms nnd have been for many years. Tho former would not knowingly and willfully molest tho latter?nor the latter injure the former. Tho quarrel between Mr. Burdell and the Student who first attacked him was of a private and personal nature. Other Students subsequently became involved in it. The Military was ordered out, not to attack the Students but to preserve tho peace, and if citizens had assailed the Students?the Military would have just iu noon protected them. Citizens mingled freely with Students and endeavored to quiet th?in?and many Students now remember with kindest fellings those Columbians wlio acted like fathers or brothers to them?and who aided them in ocrsauding their comrades to act quietly a?^d peaceably. At tho same timo, Mayor Arthur'* firm and unwavering course met the hearty approval of uearly every citizun. We are glad to see that the prospects of an Athenoeum are so blight. All classes seem to desire its establishment and to be willing to contribute towards it* zupport^ Col. W. C. Preston offers fifteen Jiundred i volumes as his donation nnd others st. 'IIU | lated by no noblo nn example will aid the onj terprise l?v presents of looks or of money. Washington's birth day was appropriately celebrated in our city?allowing that Lapse of years cannot efface the precious | memory of him?who was "first in war, first ! in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." We nro now reminded that a feslivo song written for Feb. 22d, 1848 by Francis Leiber of tho S. C. College, was reprinted for the occasion. As the charucter of Washington is so beautifully and truthfully portrayed iu two verses of that ode we | must give them a placo in this epistle.? Uerc they are? "He was great in pcrsovcrance? Groat above ambitions' lust, Great obeying, great ordaining; Steward of untarnished trust! Never stooping?never touching Persecution's ready rod, Calmly still that path persuing Which but one before him trod." To return to the celebration, wo first mention the rouding of Washington's Farewell Address by Mr. M. C. Butler of Edgefield, j | and the eloquent oration of Mr. E. II. Kellers of Charleston, delivered, as is customary, before the College Students. The Chapel was well filled and each gentleman perforinI cd his duty in an able manner. In the morning, tho Kitictncn paraded with full ranks and marched with that precision and exactness which characterizes a well drilled corps. Tho Flying Artillery also appeared in "full feather"?making a handsome and soldier like appearance. In the afternoon, the "Emmet Guards" showed by their number and marching that W. 11. Johnston was ' as excellent a Captain as he is an Editor. For several days the weather has been mild and pleasant?seemingly symbolic of coming spring. We long for tho "merry month of May," with its sunshine and bud 1 ding flower*?end moonlight evenings. Nothing more at present from ^ your friend, 13AYARD. The American Convention.

Jl)e ?qtqi ? 1 oto*i\ Travellers who visit the Falls of Niagara, are directed to a vpot on the rnaigin of the precipice over the boiling current below, whero a gay young lady, a few years since, lost her life. She was delighted with the wonders of the unrivaled scene, and ambitious to pluck a flower from a cliff where no human hand had boforo ventured, as a me inorial of the cataract, and her own daring ; sho leaned over the verge, and caught a . gliinpso of the surging waters far down the battlement of rocks while fear for a moment darkened her excited mind. But there hung tlie lovely blossom upon whioh her heart was fixed ; and she leaned in a delirium of intense desire and anticipation over the brink, llor arm was outstretched to grasp the beautiful flower which charmed her fancy, the turf yielded to the pressure of her light feet, and with a shriek she descended like a fallen star to the rocky shore, and was borne away gasping in death. IIow impressively does the tragical event illustrate the way in which a majority of impenitent sinners perish forever 1 It is not n deliberate purpose to neg iwi sBivHiion; uiu pursuit 01 imaginary good, fascinated by pleasing objects just in ibe future, tboy lightly, ambitiously, and insanely venture too far. They sometimes fear the result of desired wealth or plensure; thev sometimes bear the thunder of eternity's deep, and recoil a moment from tho allurements of sin ; but the solemn pause is brief, tbe onward step is taken, the fancied treasure is in the grasp, when a despairing cry comes upfitnn Jordan's wave, and the soul sinks into thtf a.'ms of the second death. O, every hour life's Mud are sliding from beneath incautious fcektrud with sin's fatal flower in the unconscious lufud, tho trifler goes to his doom. Tho reqiuVnt of such a departure is an echo of the Savior's question, "What shall a man give in exeknw* for his roui. ?" A M. Mituenger.
