The yourishing state of the College during -his administration, immediately succeeding ton, as it did, such a gloomy period in its history, the plaoe he had gained in the respect and affections of the Students, the confidence he had inspired in the parents and guardians, all speak n language not to bo misunderstood; arid we, in common with others, sympathise in the loss which the State has sustained. It is quite common among the groat majority of the community to suppose tint they have very little ! interest in the conduct or manigement of the College, unless thoy Iiavo either sons or wards which they aro educating, or intend to educate there. But this is a mistaken idea. Tho South Carolina Col lego is a public Instutiou?tho great fountain of learning, front which has emanated, and from which is still to bo rx.x-cted, the minds which, are to control the State in all its dep irtments, social and legislative. The young men who are educated there, are to Im dispersed throughout the State, and will I givo tono und character to the publicopinion of the | coinrnoqwe .Ith. The complexion which this public opinion assumes, will greatly depend upon those who have the control of tho College, and.Jience, the-interest which every Carolinian has jij. the judicious | selection of a presiding officer of an institution of such-mighty influence?tho province of which is to mould the principles and characters of the inon- who arc to he our future govornors and law.givcrs, i Feeling as we do, a deep inieresl in the success of 1 this noblo institution, and claiming the right, which every citizen has, of making suggestions in relation to its officos, we take this occasion to mention the ' name of an individual, who, if he can he induced to accep' the office, will eminently sustain the interests, 1 the dignity and purity of the College. Wq allude 1 to too Hon. JOHN BELTON O'NEAL, an up- 1 right Judge, a puro Patriot an honest and consistent 'Christian. Judgo O'Nkalis the man of all others, | within our knowledge, best calculated to fill this highly responsible station?possessing sound intelligence and good sense, fitmness of principle and sincerity of feeling, dignity of person, gentleness of ; manners, and of spotless moral character. From under his administration we might expect an army of graduates mingling with their fellow citizens in every portion of the State, which, in a few years wnuld work a mighty and glorious moral revolution among our people. ' Wc invite public attention to this suggestion, and ' espt cially would we ask the Trustee* of the College, ' to give it their consideration. TRIAL OF McLEOD. ? We have not yet (Monday) received the final re. 1 'suit of this highly important and interesting trial. ' The evidence liowevor, had been concluded and 1 ' nothing remained to be done except the summing up |1 j of the evidcnco by the lnw>ers and the charge of, ' the Judge, before the jury would rotire to make up : their verdict. Wc stated lan week that wc had no ' 'doubt but the trial would result in the acquittal of J [ McLfton, and this opinion-j? now vory general; in- ' (died," it iii impossible, wq think, from the evj. 1 d?nce, that tho jury can do otherwise than acquit 1 tli? prisoner. * - , Wo ore gratified too, to he ahlo testate, that du.,' ring the whole trial, which has occupied the court j an entire week, the utmost order and decorum has > mnrkrd every stage of the proceedings. Nothing j of the excitement, which we were led to anticipate has exhibited itself. Although wc are not in possession of the verdict, it may be taken for granted that McLtoo is acquit, ted, and that an end has been put to this exciting question, which has, apparently, .so often thrust si. . most into a war with great.Britain. j We may not flatter ourselvea, however, that be. \ cause this question is settled that therefore the pros, peet for war with England is materially lessened? For our ewn part, we havo never anticipated any other result from tho McLeod question, than that which has just happened A much more forrrnd idio ouutuny n# mo lunumn. ance of our amicablo relatione is to be found in the , reckless and insubordinate clinracter of the frontier , population on both sides of the lino of our North > Eastom boundary.
