[From the News and Courier.] THE wISE cotPsE. Mr. Tindal, of Clarendon, is an ed icated farmer, a "practical" fa'rmer, nd one of the leading spirits in the 'armers' movement. His whole course ihows that he is thoughtful, conserva ive and moderate in his opinions, and ie is in every way a true and capable representative of our agricultural in eress. Upon consideration of all the cir umstances, and at the end of the pro onged discussion that has been heard .n the press, on the stump, in the ~armers' clubs and in the Legislature, MIr. Tindatl frankly recognizes the fact ;hat the common sense and common sentiment of the great body of the people of South Carolina demand that :he experiment of a College of Agni mlture, as provided for in the legisla on for the reorganization of the South Carolina University, shall be aithfully tried before a more costly ad doubtful plan shall be attempted to be put iu force. Mr. Tindal is in avor, therefore, of testing honestly and earnestly what the College can. accomplish, and is opposed to throw ing obstacles in the way. This is the right spirit and the wise course. If the College can be made successful by the proper - support it will accomplish every desired object and in the most economical manner. If it shall fail, after receiving proper support, the coarse will be clear for future action, and their wvill be no room left for dissatisfaction or doubt in regard to the permanent establish mnt of eaath <-n11ge.
