Death of Professor Edwards. Yesterday morning, (Wednesday 16th instant.) at six o'clock. Rev. Pet** C. Howards, Professor of Ancient Languages In ; Furraan University, died at his residence, j near this town, after an illness of two days; his ease was not alarming till the night previons. On the Sunday preceding, lie preached hie last sermon, then apparently, I In ?ood health. Truly "a great man has fallen in Israel.'* We cannot command languago to express the common grief ?r our own estimate of the loea of one so profoundly learned, so truly aide, so meekly pious, so excellent as a friend, so courteous and modoit a gentleman, so worthy a husband and parent. As a teacher whether in the University of echo lasttc learning, in the pulpit or in the Dible Claw, or as Es-avest, we have known no one who has surpassed Professor Edwards (n originality, force and clearness; in some r-spccta he had no equal that we know.? The secret of Ids power as a teacher, we mean in its largest sense, lay not m- rely in (lie extent of his learning or of the strength *?f a nrofofnd intellect with which he was rich ly endowed J hut it was his supreme love of truth wherever' it nt^ht lend, and Ids own assiduous nnd laborious researches guided by this spirit that illuminated Ida own mind with light Divine nnd true phil osophy, and he gave freely to others what he had thus a< quired. Professor Edward* had mastered all the modern learning in the science of Language. The German School of learning on this j>ul>ject was perfectly familiar to him, nnd yet those who knew his attainments Were im prewod with the fact that lie was further advanced in the true comprehension of Linguistics than even ftie famous sebooltnen of Germany. Professor Edwakds was a na'ive 01 tsocieiy mil, iiarniijzioti Uislm-I, ( ' in lliia State?a KittJnulv of tin; South Car- * olinn College ; nftrewtrdi ho became n stu ' d-mt iu Brown Univereity, and pursued hi* 1 rheoh'aical Stu lies at Newton College, Now York, and finally at Fuimnn Institute in Fair Sri J. II? came to Greenville with ( that Institution as one of it* I'ro'ewoi8, and ^ when tho Fui man University was establish- j ed, he wm placid in the cluiir of Ancient j Languages. i 11 iwi ?groniui > n r . * i < tsr The Funeral of Professor Edwards ' takes place lliis afternoon, at 6 o'clock, in the Baptist Church. The services in-o to ' he conducted by Rev. J a Mrs 0. KirmaK D. I). A procession will form at hi* re?i 1 donee, at 4 o'clock, to occompany his re- 1 mains to the Charch. Tho Great Injunction Case. The Bill for Injunction to prevent the cn- ( forccmcnt of the Congressional Reconstruction Act, has been dismissed by tho United States Court. The case of Mississippi, it is said, hns i I been aniended, with a view to prevent ita i sharing tho samo fate ; so. it would scum, that I those Who rely lipbn tho Court's interference aro destined to grievous disappointments, and tho Act of Congress stands of force. The grave nnd important issue of compliance or nun compliance, is thus to bf decided by tho people of each Btute. Tho Court will givo no , relief. " i There must be artion by the people, nnd tho 1 tirai #tff?n rpffiiitfntl.tn nf v.*?i.ra wn will be adopted by every man entitled to vote, and tlien let them discuss and decide the ques- j tion of convention or no convention. Wo 1 think there should bo no hitter controversy on 1 this point, and tho probability is there will 1 not he much difference of opinion when the j time comes to vote. Tho Congress has nil power in their hands to prescribe term?, at least they exercise just what they seo fit, and we may hope that now that thoy have pre- | rented their ultimatum, that they will not al- | low any further impositions, and as they claim I tho power to spprove or disapprove any con- I dilution which the States may adopt, tbut there need he no pleas of their giriug sanction I to spoliation and confiscation schemes pror reeding from Stato parties, any more than they did the ."heme introduced into Congrey* I by Ktkvrjhi.

Tho now engine, managed by Mr. Hovkv's eoiupnny, was promptly brought out on tho scone, and stood ready to take part, hut fortunately tho position gained by the frccduicu with their | Cnginc, and their braro exertions, rendered it unnecessary. Tho Are originated, wc suppose, from tho stove pipe. Tho day was very dry and windy> and but for tho arresting the (latnes, there might have been a terribly destructive Arc.
