d in rise and -ki I their masters. It was,
howeypc, -discovered, as is the general
fat" of such evil machinations, in season
r. j to frustrate the hellish.design. On Wednesday
night last, Mr. Znidt heard three
it til In-own net rues nnil otic nmongui.! to a
il neighboring plantation, kn ?rk at liis door,

jr .convince him fume vjllai iy was on foot,
t, and did not admit them. The next morn
v iujr he lad the negroes arrested, when
y tliev eonlessed it was their design to have
I- killed Mr. Z. the moment he opened the
- door; for which purpose, one of tlietjy was
?. provided with an axe. They then ine
fended to proceed to the residence of Mrs.
o Williams, and-kijl her, and soon to the
e next neighbor. On their examination, the
11 four negroes implicated several others
r 1 who were concerned with them, and nine
e in all were put on tlieir trial. Our infornil>
| ant thinks the four ringleaders will h>*
s. hung, and the rest severely punished. Of
ejthp negroes arrested, three hehoiged to
|Mr. Zotdt, three to Mrs. Williams, two
r to Mr. Harden,- and one to the estate of

| SO.UTH CAROLINA COLLEGE.
, The regret which has been expressed in so many
' quarters, at the resignation of Mr. Barnwell, ns
President of this Institution, is, we doubt not, deeply
| and universally felt. 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

paper, any farther communication wa$ forborne.? >"
But, to my great disappointment, not a syllable
from him. It has boon reported that he did
not intend to be a candidate until some more distant '' \
day. But surely Mr. Bowman cannot disregard so - Tj
flattering and unanimous a oall of. bis: friend* sad
fellow citizens, especially at a time when there is
so much need for his services. A long and unrc- '< h
served personal intimacy with -that gentlemaij, ena. ' A
blcsme to say, that-in my humble opinion, a more Jj|
appropriate and judicious choice could not have been - %\
made. His talents, fonncd for enterprise and /tise., , ' <
fulness; an education of the first order; and h mind *
stored with historical and political information: to. ; * ?
getlier with his honosty of intentions, und pu}Hyiafit. ;
principles, give liiina title, at all times, to onivbr-^sal
support, but more particularly so, at the presen
crisis in the history of our Government, whmthe ;
security of our interests so loudly calls fur s Re
prcscntative who is able, in argument; to'meet the apposers
of our views and interests. In short, such
qualifications are seldom concentrated in one pfrson. J-'-.

VOX THE jcnt.fi L.
JJfr. Editor: I noticed in the two last numbers of
the Journal, nominations for the office of Reprcten*
tative in Congress from this Congressional- District;
and tho writers of both article* actmed to thji.k that
the extraordinary importance of the office f sm the
exigencies of the country requited us at this early day
in 'Mnnh nround" for a competent individual. I am. - _ ' '
sir, of the samo opinion, and am fully convinced, that ... . >
in the present state of political t flairs, too ranch dis, rn.:
cretion cannot be exercised in selecting a candidate,
nor too much care taken in examining hirqualifica. >
tiona. The longer he i? before the pooplo therefore, ^
the bolter. Under this conviction, I will ivail my, P
self of the privilege of a conr titueirt, by cooperating ^
with the writers of the abovementicned articles, in ~%looking
around for " a man of item democracy, of ^
untiring and unflinching seal, a man wko u abU to
bring forward practical propositions, and able tbWftnd
them in -debate publicly or prii&tetyj itfte
