An Infringement Fpou States
Rights.
We observe from the Columbia correspondent
of the Charleston Xcics and
'uin icr, and also in the Columbia Register,
that there is an effort on foot to
remove Col. Thomas' North Carolina
Military Institute to Columbia. In
short, to absorb the .South Carolina
University and convert it into a North
Carolina military institution. There
is never a better time to correct an evil
than to check it in its very incipiency.
In other words, ''to nip it in the bud.''
And rjght here we raise our unqualified
Disapproval. Yea, more than that, our
e'rong condemnation of any such project.
What reasons are thero ior such a
course ? What inducements can be
held out to the State to allow any such
thing to come to pass. As far as we
can soe, there are none, while there are
many that forbid such a change. In
our humble judgement, our last Legislature
evinced a degree of lethargy and
indifference in regard to the reopening
of this 1 "diversity which, to say the
least of it, was not commendable, and
now this indifferent spirit is assuming
ho nrnnnrtifin of comDletc absorbtion,
"" * r" r~ -- - ?
for if G'ol. Thomas does by any possible
means establish bis academy there,
we look upon it as nothing more nor
less than an utter annihilation of our
University. This is dreadful to contemplate;
but it is to our mind a clear
sequence, and now, in time, we raise
our voice against it,
South Carolina needs nothing to develop
her resources and make her the
peer of aoy State in this Union more
than tho thorough education of her
youth. This must be done, and nothing
can do more towards it than keeping
open to her joung men schools of a
high standard to which they can get
easy access. What couid conduce more
to this than the reopening of this grand
eld institution ? What more powerful
lever to raise us to wealth, education
and refinement? It is a want, a burn*
ing want, in the midst of our people,
and its necessity, cooncr or later, must
jress itself upon all. In by gone days
the South Carolina College was an ornament
and pride to the State whose
^^fcame it bore. The graduates reflected i
cwCtm in nil oi^thc CXaltcd
positions to which they were j
called, and no one ever carried his di- j
plorua from the "Alma Mater" but he i
felt a kind of reverence and affection
for it The stern changes inflicted by
war forced us, however, to change it into
a university, and most auspiciously did
it open and go on until the poisoned >
grasp of Radicalism took hold of it. J
We have, however, torn that infamous |
grasp from it, and trampled it under |
our feet, and now thero stand the beau- !
iiful buildings, the splendid library, the !
fine chemical aparatus, all ready to welcome
our sons. It secuis strange, parsing
strange, that even a day should
be spared in not doing our all to reopen
it. Wcbave able men, too, second to
none in the country, whoso services
could be coniuiarrared to bring it up to
iho high standard that it bore previous
to the war. Now, talk about turning it
into a North Carolina Institute ! Why,
it is too bad !
Tn 1793 the State of Georgia established
her University. Though perhaps
it has not tho national reputation that
Virginia's has, yet it is pleasing to observe
the tenacity with which she has j
held to it, and how she has frowned j
down every effort that has been at- j
tempted to injure it: In her Constitu- j
tional convention, which was held two j
years ago, there was some scaling down I
of the educational tax, which indirectly
would have seriously effected the welfare
of this University. It was soon
discovered, aud cloqucuee, strength and
uowcr of intellect were all quickly
brought into play to crush out any such
n thing; and almost with one voico did
she sustain what for nearly fine hundred
years she had fostered, loved and
t-arcd for. This is what the Empire
rtate of the South docs. So also does
Virginia and many others. Shall we i
then be behind? Surely not. No where
arc advantages better than in Columbia :

easy access, all make it a most desirable <

Wo have been very forcibly struck
by an article upon this subject from
the graceful pen of an Edgefield cor*
respondent of the Charleston News and
Courier. The subject of this heading
is no new name to the peooplc of Kcr1

can well remember wbat rapi'l strides
this (jrcat company made in our county
in the way of insurance. It entered
every nook and corner iu cur bounds,
missing neither straight road nor cross
road, palace or hovel. It was repre- |
scnted as the great benefactor of the
poor, the shield of tho widow aud the
protector of the orphan. It was uuder
the administration of tried and truo
men, and all wa3 as soft and pleasant
to the eye as the rays ot the gentle
moon in autumn. Its capital was almost
without limit, and its monies |
were surety, securely and undoubtedly i
invested. In fact, if we be allowed to

glory, was not arrayed half like it.
Th is being the case, it took like wild I
fire among our people, and thousands,
tens of thousands, yes, even millions,
went iuto its voracious treasury, i
Monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and
annual reports wore constantly made,
and such reports, if our memory serves
us right, only showed an increased
strength in its finances. It ccrtaiuly
showed no diminution.
This condition of affairs lasted along
time, and the business of the company
had grown to such an extent that its
blighting touch was in almost every
household. Men of small means, who,
by the sweat of their brow, had laid
away a little money, quickly placed
their all in H, as a safeguard for their
wives and little ones, in case they should
be called awav. When the Dolicv was
received, he locked it up, and he slept
sweetly, feeling . that if deatli should
invade his domain and take him 08',
there was a comfort and support in the
Southern Life Insurance Company for
bis wife and children. Hut, alas !
what a vain hope. Like a clap of thunder
in a clear sky, it was soon announced,
without any foreshadowing, ]
that this colossal structure was tumbling,
and that its foundation had never
been anything else than sand. It surprised,
it morticed and wounded the
people who had reposed confidence in
it, and loud and deep were the imprecations
that went up against it. Soon,

but facts arc stubborn things. and as
wo are in darkness, anu a; our pecpie
have suffered so much, we call for light,
more light, upou this yet hidden and
obscure matter. Let us have a clean
breast o& it. As public servants, we j
would be recreant to our trust if we
did otherwise, and as we tender our
thanks to "II. W. A.," of Edgefield,
for opening the ball, we call upon our j
contemporaries to keep it rolling. It is i
by theso means, and these alone, that
we can hope to bring just such institutions
to a proper appreciation of their
duties and obligations ; and it is but a
matter of justice, to all well managed
companies of the kind. Life insurance
in itselt is good, but a counterfeit is
not worth a penny.
A Healthy Sign.
A week or two ago we threw out some
crude ideas upon the subject of the
fence law, with the request that our
subscribers in the county would through
our columns discuss calmly the merits of
the case. We are truly gratified to notice
the interest manifested by our people
upon a subiert nf Rllpll imnnrlnnno

and it is with no little pleusuro that we j
present to our readers tho "pro's and |
ecu's" in regard to it from the different !
j
parts of our couuty. It is a healthy |
sfgn, and speaks well fur the good people.
Ten years ago, when the terrible
storm of Radicalism was swaying over
our land, it was exceedingly difficult to
draw out from the landholders any publicly
expressed opinious upon matters
2von of greater interest. Now, however,
since the calm days of peace aud ;

Wc promised you an account of the
picnic at Heard's Landing on the 28th
uli. but owing to circumstances or
something else, probably the latter, we
di-l not get there till the afternoon.
From what we could hear and see, investigate
and find out, it was a succpss.
As to the dinner, it is only necessary
for us to say that "Granny" was there
with ber basket, and everybody will
know that there was a superabundance. !
When wc arrived we fouod the ^icnicers
engaged in a variety of amusements
One squad was going round in a circle,
and a fellow was standing on a stump
near by, his eyes nearly popped out. his
neck veins staudinc out like whip cords,
and in a voice which for harmony and
the sweetness of its fiio'dulations reminded
us of thojaug of the castings
in a mill, was singing something about

were cxcurting ou th? creek, using
therefore the crafts belonging to the L.
C. N. C., late of this county, deceased.
Dinner being over when we arrived, a
good lady friend insisted that we should

and 6he procoeded to resurresMP^frciit
i the cavernous and capacious depths of
her basket, a quarter of a goat, a chicken
pie and piles of gungcr bread, cakes,
&c., and we began to pic., and kept on

Alas! ?that the L. C. N. C. should have
been snatched away in its youthful

that at some mill near Tiller's

gather on the Sabbath for the purpose
of playing cards, or rather he limits it
to not more than a hundred miles distant.

that distance such a practice may bo

card playing or fishing on Sunday. We
have never tried either, or saw it tri-jd,
therefore can't say. Probably he who
seem? to be somewhat farpjliar with both
could give us a learned and exhaustive
dissertation on the subject, which would
no doubt prove at once very instructive
and entertaining. We say familiar
with both. We have heard it said that
"it takes u rogue to catch a rogue." and

at catching others, wo suppose lie, &c.,

*70 have uosti tho propoups "he," i
"him," &c., not because we knew the I
gender of E. K., but merely for conve*
niencc. We have tried hard to find out
who acd what Eastern Kershaw is, but
it seems as if we cannot be satisfactorily
informed. One says that he is a maiden
lady with two children, another that
she is a very nice young man, who was
at one time apprenticed to a preacher,
to learn the trade, aod that the preacher
took him round to make demonstrations
and shout "glory !" when he got
in the "short r^wa" of hi?> sermons j
and to watch while he (the pre/ichcr)
prayed, and to note and report any misbehaviour
on the part of the congregation
; and from the amazinjr, marvelous
and truly astounding proficiency
which he has developed in "seeing" and
b'-ing "informed of" desecrations of
the Sabbath, it would seem as if this
statement was reasonable. But while
one says he is a woman, another says
she is a man, am! so we arc kept at a
loss how to range our Clatlin gun. We
will therofore close by saying to E K..
him or her, as the case may be, that in
