The University of South CarolinaSouth
Carolinians who have filled up t
the wilderness from the Savannah to the ]
Ilio Grande, have never 4orgotton her; c
and many a graduate of the college who,
(and we are glad to know that there are j
many such,) would avail himself of the t
opportunity of giving his sons the beneflt 8
of the culture and association which he r
c
believes, more than any other, would develope
those qualities of head and heart e
that constitute the gentleman. c
South Carolina gets full credit, too, '
through all her sister States of the j(
South for all that she has done to free
herself from the dust and ashes of de- j,
gradation; and many in Texas, Louisiana v
and Mississisippi, and other Southern
States, woulil, in the light of that u
prestige, (though not claiming her a3
their mother,) send their sons as well.
This we know, having had opportunities ^
of judging. Let us develope that wherein j,
we arc strongest. We cannot compete tj
with the rich bottoms of the Mississippi
in the production of cotton and sugar ;
nor with the nrairies of Texas in raising
ol
cattle, sheeD aud horses. It is the high
' ? re
tone and rcGuemcnt, the manliness of
w
character with which we are credited ,
outside of oup own State, that would be
rc
the attraction to those who are willing .
ji
to concedo them to us, (let us be care- .o
ful how we destroy any such illusion, if "j
illusion it be,) and we claim would tend
to build up a great ' central Southern
University" in South Carolina. It is a .
J ol
mistake to suppose that the cost of be~
ginning such an institution would bear
so heavily upon the resources of the
State, as to bo out of proportion with
thn hpnpfifa rnnfflrred. It is but to beerin. ?T
. _ . ? ' i\
and to do that at ouce if of prime iui- j.
porlanee. All the other States of the
South have done so. Virginia has her ^
time-honored University alongside of ^
the Virginia Military Institute, Washington
and Lee, Hampden Sidney. ai
William and Mary, and possibly others.
North Carolina has in prosperous operation
"Old Chapel Hill j" Georgia and st
Alabama as well; Mississippi has opened a'
her State College at Oxford with four
hundrod stndcots, and Louisiana in cu
November last re-organized hers at ^
Baton Rouge, upon a liberal endow- 1D
m.'ut. Poor as we?are, if the number m'
of students who leave the State now, but
who it is safe to say would remain if we
had a State Institution as it was in the in
days when a Barnwell, an Elliott, a od

our young men in (he way that they an

old State for the honor she has won. m
and our ranks would soon be full. th
If our utilftarian friends sneer at
this, and say that tho age of chivalry at
is gone, and no one now has time or th
thought for tattered dust-frayed bannds ha
that once waved men to high and noble 0f

Columbia is admirably situated, in a
Fgienic point of view, to bring to the
autb the Northern student prevented
f the climate from prosecuting his
udies at home. And here comes in a
ew sufficiently practical for the least
jctie. The Northern student, drawn
j assurances of respect and consideraon,
would do much eventually to at'

UUb UJ UU iiiwiii^vu* *< ^>v* * ??iquiry
into the resources of our coun y
.that would Result in bringing
apilal for investment in factories, and
ther schemes of improvement. No
lace suits in the whole South so well
s Columbia?in the heart of the great
ir.e belt?neither too far north for the
iouther? nor too far south for tbe
sorthern s'udents. With the Atlantic
lepot of the great Southern Pacifiic
Railroad, to be most pcobably at Charcston,
what more could be asked ? The
stablishmcnt of tho University at this
ime would then he a powerful lever to
ring about these most desirable re.
ults.
As regards the much voxed and deliate
question of sectarian colleges
complete,'we grant, in themselves) takng
the place of universitiea in the
iutire scheme of a liberal education, we
vill simply quote the language of one ol
England's most distinguished men, in
in address before the the University ol
3t. Andrews, when chosen to the comjlimentary
position of Ecctor, a univcrlity
man himself, a scholar and a statesnan,
with the experience of centuries
it his hands. He says:
"The moral or religious influence
.vhich an Uuivorsity can exercise, consists
less in any express teaching than
n the pervading tone of the place. It
s not much the teacher's business to
ake a side and fight stoutly for some
jne against the rest^ as it is to direct
:hem all towards the establishment and
preservation of the rules of conduct
nost advantageous to mankind. Chrisianity
being an historical religion, the
iort of religious instruction which seems
:o me most appropriate to an University
s the study of ecclesiastical history. If
eaching, even on matters of scientiBc
icrtainty, should aim quite as much at
ihowing how the results are arrived at,
ts at teaching the results themselves,
Par more, then, should this bs the case
.r, enhioMa whwrft there is the widest
liversity of opinion among men of
foual ability, and who have taken equal
yiilliq lU un'tl ~ - mm , ,.f.
ng should not be in the spirit of dogmaism,
but in that of enquiry, The pupil
hould not be addressed as if his reli;ion
had been chosen for him, but as
me who will have to choose it for
liinself. Tho various Churches, the
stablished and uneetablished, aro quite
ompetent to the task which is pocuiarjj
theirs? that of teaching each its
wn doctrines?as far as necessary to
ts own rising generation.'"'

News from Liberia.?A letter
has been received in this city from the
Rev. S. F. Flegler, the colored minister
who went to Liberia on the Azov.
It gives a most glowing description of
the country and climate, bqb speaks in
very indefinite terras of the emigrants
from here, their health, location, feeling,
&c. As the communication is
dated at Monrovia, it appears that the
writer was either absent frotj] his flock
or that the peoplo had not left that
town at the time when it was written,
August 17. He says, however, that
"the emigrants have all gone to work"
and mentions himself as hnviog suffered
a nine days' spell of the fever, which
was not severe.?Neics and Courier*.
The wooden buildings ot the 1'asBaic
Rolling Mill of Paterson, covering about
five acres, caught fire on the night of
the 5th inst. The flames spread rapidly,
and thore were at least three acres
J ia flames. With bursting boilers,
crashing timbers and the thud of heavy
iron falling, the scene was intensely exciting.
The mill was close alongside of
the Erie track, and an attempt waB
made to run the 10 or'clock train from
New York past, but the fire was so fiorce
that the train had to be backed out of
its reach. There was almost a panic
among the passengers, who jumped from
the train, thinking they were lost. The
fire was got under control about midnight.
Two-thirds of tho mill was
destroyed. Loss, $75.000 to ?100,000.
The mill was making iron work for the

Tiie Savage Red Men.?A special
to the Globe-Democrat, from Topeka,
says that the Indians who peceptly went
north after orossingthe Kansas-Pacific
Railroad, returned to Decatur County
and raided the settlements there. Their
main depredations were on Sappa Creek.
Every residence for twelve miles was
plundered, all the cattle stampeded and
what of the crops was left by the Indians
has been eaten up or destroyed by the
stuck. The uumbor of killed is not
yet known. Several bodies liavo been
found and buried. AmoDg them were
four members of a family named Luning,
the mother being brutally outraged
by several Indians. The house of n.
A. Colutn was surrounded by Indians,
but he and his wife with a shot gun and
revolver drove the Indians away, killing
and wounding several. Other cases
similar to this occurred. Nearly all the

The Oity of Glasgow Bank, heretofore
considered one of the strongest institutions
of tho kind in Europe, has
failed, the liabilities amounting to
about 850,000,000. Many other faiU
ures in business circles will be caused
by it, as several large ship building
firms havo already closed up. The
Bank of Mona, a local branch of the
City of Glasgow Bank in the Isle of
Man, held $1,500,000 to $1,750,000
deposits, being about all the spare
money in the island, and many persons
are left destitute. Th? immediate cause
of tho failure was the impossibility of
uny longer getting bills drawn from
India on the Bank of Glasgow discounted
on the London market, a circunv
stance which explains, to some extent,
the feverish oscillations for some mouths
past in the rates demanded for loans.
These bills had been sold in India to
Indian banks, ostensibly against the
