The nominee for Vice President, is a man
also of superior talents, very far surpassing

VntTirviiy, wr.8 nov WVII Pin nuou, uunnn,
it wu adapted M one preliminary to a larger
meeting, which assembled on Monday cvonfnf
in the New Court iloaao. This meeting I
was of a moat respectable character, yet, not
a numerona aa it ought to have been, considering
the exceeding importance of tho object
to every man, women and child in tho Town
and vicinity, wo might any to tho whole State.
It I* a qnoation of the continued existence of
the Univcraity. Now ia the crisis of its fate,
and if we do not auatnin it. Wo doacrvo nono
of its bloeainge. The scheme proposed by tho
Ksccntlvo Committee of tho Trustees, is ono
so reasonable and moderate, that it ought to,
and must succeed, for the annnnl contribution
of thirty dollats for three years, secured by
Bond, tho Contributor la allowed to nominate
U student to bo tnnght in all tbe classes of tho
Collegiate Department during tho whole lime,
provided two hundred Bunds aro secured, ami
if two hundred at least aro not secured, thou
none arc binding. The aim 5? to secure In the
Rtatc if possiMo 300 of suc^i Hon Is. The Kuculty
however, will agrvo to rec.umo tlicir labors,
if 200 arc secured, trusting to the Recur*
ing of tho whole ntimi.or by proper effort. Wo
occd not enlarge on the udvahtnges of this
scheme to all who have sons to educate, at an
institution of high and well established char
meter, possessing a learned i>nd aide Vacuity,
an institution that the District and tho State,
and oven sections beyond the State, have delighted
to support, and hnvo been blest ed in
supporting for years before tho war, ami which
only now is finking, because of Use losses t
Its ondowmcnt, nnd tho impoverishment of the
country by tho war. Wo trust tho Committee
who aro to call upon tho citirens of the
Town and District, will ho encouraged with
success beyond the most Sanguine caleuinlious,
every raolivo of public spirit, and of hom.r.itdo
selfish cn'culution, combine to f .vor tho noble

Tho speeches of Dr. B. SI.tMi.Y, Jr., Rev. Dr.

Rev. Dr. Blist, after tlio regular od.Irenes
were concluded, nindo n few stirring and eloquent
remarks on tho value of Furmnn University
to Orocnvsllc, and tho iuiportnneo of
sustaining it- He said ho was hopeful front
tho fcry fact thai the effort was now making,
tho University, was beginning to cry f< r help,
and the cry must bo heeded. Col. J. P. Thomas,

high reputation of Furmnn University, and cf

This note was resolved a week ago, but too '
hito fur insortion io our hist issue.
'I regret to announee that tho fine Flour t
Mills of our frlond, Joseph Cox, Esq., on Saluda
River, were consumed by fire eu Inst Fri- c
day morning. He had not long since oyerhauled
and refitted it, with new cloths and C
stones, and otherwiso enhaneed its value. Ills 1
Toss Is estimated at from 91,200 to 92.000. All |?
tho facts go to prove that it "was deliberately c
fired by an Incendiary. There had been no r
fire in or nhnut the Mill during the week. The e,
doors wcro found open, and it was df-coryred "
that the fire had been communicated to tho
third story of tho hnnso first. No dlseovory
pointing to the incendiary has yet hecn made, ^
nor has suspicion attached to any one. a

The quotation soys of U'tn. 1
" Dr. Rear* said that hoth auction* of the '

each other; that the work of politician*, both '
in (he North and in the South, ia pernicious ;
and that what the Routbern State* really nerd I
la the hearty co-operation of the business men t
of the North to afford them capital to vitalixo <
their energies. The Southern men look with i
distrust to the military and to those connected i
with tbo Bureau, but men from the North, '
with arerage civility and good sense, are cor- <
Jially reeeirod aiming them. As to tba mat- I
tcr ot negro suffrage, the white people as a i
rule aro opposed to It?at least to mdrersal j
suffrage. Ho thought, liowevor, they would ?
willingly agree to some method of impartial t
suffrage which would* work adrantageoualy fur c

the Furninn Unlvcrsisy, a number of Indies
end gentlemen met at the Court House, on
Monday egeniog, i.tth inaf., anJ en motion .
of'Wof. LAnnaa j, Dr.. Juntos Harrison wna
called to the Chnir, and Wm. K. Kailora
rftfested to aet aa Secretary.
Dr. Bnail Manly, Jr., then adJreraed the
mooting, Introdneing his subject, by showing
that, though the higher institutions of
learning were somewhat removed from the
great body ol rho people, thie wna not a
reason for tha withdrawal of popular iyni?
pathy ; and that while he was an earnest
friend of common school education, he woe
not lesa no of the higher institutions; for
they mutually support and sustain each
other. Education ia not something which
rnn ivroeu iniu n uinn in ? p|?tciiiv
tity ; nor 1# U the mere drawing out or the
mental faculties; but it i* the training, as
well as the developing of them, nnd the
bringing of them to * healthy hnd oorreet
mode of action Colleges nre not infallible
machine# for producing a certain result,
but they nre Invaluoble a* intents In Winging
abont the desired slate of mental oul
tnre. The many advantages accruing to
fho community baring the best educational
facilities, were forcibly presented. It will
draw to Itself secessions of the best population
in reach of It ; people will make many
sacrifices to avail themselves of these facil
Hire. By theso accessions the value of real
estcte is greatly enhanced, and the mercantile
pursuits, and mechanical interests are
grontTy improved; every individual member
ia benefitted and profited by the sueoees
and prosperity of the community. After
presenting to the andiencc the great
civil advantage* of edncatlon to a country,
and the higher social and mora) Interests of
the community in ita institutions of learning,
he presented the aheoluto necessity of snb Uutial
material help to the University, in
order to preserve its existence. It cannot
longer bd worked on a credit; to raise an en
dowmeat now U impossible, and an attempt
to contlnno it by raising annual sums would
only give it a spasmodic existence. A plan
Is proposed, asking for a small aum com
pared with the return offered in educational
advantages. And the appeal ia to be made
to the whole people of the State. The
practical question before os to night, is?
what ate the people of Greenville willing
to dof The heart must beat, and unlran
they ? ho are by far the most benefited are
willing to do their part, the institution
must fail.
Pr. Jas. Fnrmon, then addressed the meeting
and alter explaining tbo circumstances of
tbo foundation of the University ami its location
here, he rcferod to tbs remarkable good bebarton/
of tbo Students in the past, and the
very many social and pecuniary advantages
brought to the community by tho University,
besides the Faculty of the Institution, and tbo
number of families who en mo hero to avail
themselves of the benefits of tho Univorsity, it
was estimated by our shrewdest business men,
that the Studonts added annually much moro
than fifty thousand dollars to tbo circulating
medium of this plnco. Tho ondowmont
of tho University has failed by tho result
of tho war, tho tuition received, Is totally
Inadequate to its support. Tho Faculty
is una'do to sustain Itself longer,
upon a credit system, and unless some arrangement
is anidu nt onee for tho support of tho
Iustitution, tho 1'rofessors must sever tho fond
associations and pleasant ties whivh hind thorn
to tho community, and accept situations offered
tbcm elsewhere, by which, they may be
aide to support themselves.
Fnrman University had been tho cause of
the location of tho SoutLorn Baptist Theological
Pnninary bore, ond there at* now influences
nt work, tcniUng to rcmovo tho Seminary
elsewhere; l-nt tua location ot tho University
was an answer and the only one, to the
arguments of those who advocated tho removal
of the Seminary, but with the faiiuroof tho
one, we must inevitably lore tho other. It is
for the peoplo of tbie community to decide for
thomsclvas, whether they nro wilting to give
up tho aeccssiona theso Institutions have
brought to tho sooicty hero, and tho pecuniary
benefits derived from their location.
The nlan nronoeed is to take bonds to be
paid in three annual ina'almente of thirty
dollar* eanh and for every bond to allow
one student all the benefit* of the Collegiate
Course of the University; tho bond* to
be mutually binding when two hundred
are taken, though it 1* hoped that nt least
three hundred will be. Of thi* number, to
give succeaa to tho undertaking, at fcast
seventy five bonds must be taken in the
Town nnd District of Greenville.
I)r. K. T. rtuiat then followed in a few
imprercivo remarks, prceent'rg the ad van
Ingea of the plan nnd the obligation of (hit
community to see that It succeeded,
GoL J. 1'. Thomas, of Columhis, be'ng
present, wss called upon aud presented the
absolute importance of foetering onr private
institotiona of learning, at (bis time
when our public men are ro much jeopardised,
and commented upon the great liberality
of the plan propoeo-1 by tha Troa
tees, and concluded by expressing the hope
that the good people of Greenville would
not permit this bright and shining light to
h# extinguished, but that they would rather
inerrafe its brilliancy.
Several gentlemen of the number present
screed to take bond*, and all seemed to
M great InUrrrt and deeply to regret
that tha entire community was net prevent
l<> hear lha diaeuation of a aotj.et so greatly
involving the common interest of all.
On motion of Rev. William Thomas, it
wa* Onanimously
