A letter received yesterday fron Col. C. S. Gadsden, chairman of tlr board of visitors of the South Caro lina Military academy, announced th resignation of Col. Asbury Coward the superintendent. The rcsignatioi takes effect, on September 30 and th f members of the board are urged t consider the situation seriously. A the time of the resignation of Col Coward, Capt. W. II. Simons, th commandant stationed at the Citade H by the war department, will be trans F ferred, having served out hi time at this station, and Col. (lads Iden wishes the members of the boari to go over carefully rrie outlook ii order that the success which has fol lowed this institution during the pas few years may not be impaired.

Coward he induce* to remain for some months longe after the date fixed in his letter o resignation and this suggestion wil probably be favorably received by th Citadel authorities. A dispatceh from Charleston, re ceived last night by the State, sa< that the announcement of the resigna !tion of Col. Coward was received' witl general regret in Charleston, wlier he has for 18 years served at th head of the Citadel. f RIGHTEOUSNESS THE BASK PRINCIPLE. Solution of the Negro Problem?Lee ture by Rev.
