Christmas candles, were lighted, and
Y an 'enormous log known as the Yule
Lolog, was placed upon the lire, and
BP* was drank freely. Christmas
'ols were sung, alluding to our Re
?deemor, by men and women, often a*

charming. The following is a stanza

A, decision was rendered by Mudgo
Simooton in the United Stato* Cir
cuit Court this evening in the Clem
son will matter. The court grants
the temporary injunotion askgd for in
the bill, aud orders that the writ be
directed to Biohard W. Simpsou, the
executory trustee, restraing nitn from
executing any deed ox deeds of con
veyance whatever, or parting with the
possession of theForfcHillplautation,
to any person or persons whomsoever,
or for any uses, m tents or purposes
whatever, and especially to the State
of South Carolina, or any persons or
agents in her behalf or on her account,
until the further order of the court.
I
evi^^m^n the debate4
last week, that the
in accepting the Oleniaon be
quest at present, will engpge in a
tedious and costly lawsuit, in which
it can only succeed at the expense of
the grand-daughter of John C.
Calhoun. ~ ?
This is tco much to pay for the be
quest.. Republics ure notoriously un
grateful, but it cannot bo supposed
that South Carolina will deliberately
go to work to disinherit tho grand
child of hiT greatest statesman.
Moreover, there is nothing to gain by
it.
Tho bettor pain is to give the trus
tees under the Clemson will an appro
priation of live thousand dollars to bo
gin their work, and determine the
acceptance of tho bequests when the
judicial proceedings shall have shown
i hat Miss Leo has no interest in tho
estate.
It is not a question whether there
shall be an Agricultural 'College or
not. Tho fooling generally is in its
favor. But the State need not attack
M ies Lee on that account, and is per
fectly well able to give the farmer's a
College without anybody's help. ? .
