? The following statement with regard to the situation of the Bank of the State was handed to us by a member of the Legislature > and as it is a mooted subject amongst the people, we feel it our duty to give it place in our columns.? If the statement be correct, (and we do not doubt it,) it certainly goos to show that the Bank is an injurious and a dead loss to the State to a considerable amount. Our thanks are due to the gentleman who furnishes us with it. BANK OF THE STATE.

" -1 ed for the office and dignity of President of the United States, with no mean chances of success The following from the Abbeville Banner would have appeared sooner, but the paper was mislaid. Mr. Kditor.?A most melancholy occurrence transpired in this place, on the evening of the 6th instant. Wo allude to an affray between two of the students, Samuel Miller and Peter K. Thompson, which resulted in the death of the latter, 'lo prevent misconception, and correct exaggerated reports, we send you a statement of the principal fact in the ca?e. The fatal affair occured in the hall of the Philotnathean Society. The afternoon of Friday is always devoted, by the literary societies of this Institution, to the peculiar exercises appropriate to them. At the meeting on last Friday, Mr. Miller, it seems, took ofTonco at the conduct of Mr. Thompson during the deliberations of the evening. Immediately after the adjournment of the society some angry words wore passed which resulted in a contest, and the event was, the death of Mr. Thompson. It was found to have been occasioned by two stabs, inflicted, one on the left side, near the region of the heart; and the olber about the abdomen. Mr. Thompson expired in fifteen or twenty minutes after a separation was effected.? The wounds were inflicted with a pocket knife, with a blade about three and a linlf inr-hna in ln.irr.K _ _ ft - " The whole affair occupied a period, not, perhaps exceeding half a minute. There was no passionate excitement amongst any other individuals; nor were there any other persons engaged in the afroy, but those mentioned above. Mr. Miller has been taken into custody, and the matter is under process of judicial investigation, which forbids that any thing should be said which might be prejudicial to either of the parties. We hope, therefore, that the public will suspend their opinion respecting the whole transaction, till all the evidence is brought forward in open Court. What has been said, it is thought will he satisfactory respecting the transaction itself. We would now further state, that this is the fir6t distressing casualty which has occurred amongst us since the establishment of the Institution. For a period of eight years, during which it hns hecn in existence, we have never before, had occasion to follow one of our number to his "long home." In this rcsjiect we have been peculiarly favored with the blessing of heaven ; on a recent occasion we said to the world, in our published Catalogue, for morality, "jood order and diligent attention to business was unsur|>a5sod in any similar Institution. As we said then, so tre say yet, notwithstanding the melancholly occurence that has just transpired. During a Iieriod of eight years since the foundation of the nstitution, there has never been an instance of a drunhen Strident, except one or two accidental cases. There has never been an instance, in which it was necessary to resort to expulsion or dismission. We hope than that the r?.mf<ilauoo of the community in the regularity and good order of the Students of this Institution will not be impaired by the present melancholy occurrence, much as it i3 to be deplored. A sinirle transaction is rare. ly, if ever, a safb teat of character, either of individuals or communities, for either good or had. Tho only corroct method of determining the character of either, is by referring to tho general tenor of their conduct, stretching through a considerable period of time, and to this we confidently appeal. By AUTiioniTY of the Faculty. Erksine College, Sept. 9, 1811. IMPORTANT AND LATEST FROM TEXAS. At an early hour yesterday morning a Texan vessel, the schr. Star, arrived at this port IJ days from Galveston, having on board Mr. E. O. Co it, with despatches for the U. S. Government, and for the British and French Ministers at Washington City. Tho despatches are supposed to refer to tho invasion of Texas. Gen. Wpll, with some 10,000 of the advance detachment of the Mexican army, has, it is said, arrived on the banks of the Rio i i I . ?ni i - i " ... viihiiuc. a no uespaicncs were torwariled by yesterday's mail. Tins is indeed deeply interesting intelligence, and rflny be supposed to have created great excitement in Texas. It is, however, but n rurnor. Many intelligent gentlemen with whom we have conversed express the opinion that this report is at least premature. Although such a force may be on the march for that base of the future operations of Mexico against Texas, we are constrained to doubt if they yet have an organized force of ten thousand men ready to cross the frontier. Our latest dates from Galveston were to the 17th lilt. We now have dates to the 2-lth.? The Galveston News of that day is before us, from which we gather the following intelligence. The Hon. Tilghman A. Howard, Minister to Texas from the United States, died at Washington oh Friday the 16th ult. He reached there only ten or twelve.days before he died. Truly there seems to be a fatality connected with the diplomatic agency of our country in Texas. Gen. Howard numbers the fourth American Minister who has found a grave in that republic. It is but a few weeks since we recorded the deaths of Gen. Murphy, the American Charge, and A. M. Green, Hs<]., U. S. Consul, within a few days of each other. It pains us to learn also of tho death of Commander J. T. K. Lothrop, of the Texas Navy. He died at Washington on the 14th ult., of bilious fever. Capt. L. was well known in this city, and his loss will be deeply regretted by numorout friends.? The "Vindicator" states he was a native of Massachusetts, and a descendant in the maternal httcfropi Kirkland, one of the early pilgrim fathers^ A letter from a highly respectable merchant in San Antonio to a gentleman in Galveston, dated July 28th, says : You have heard of the intended invasion of Texas by Mexico, and 1 must say 1 am of the positivo impression it is true, as the Mexicans living in this place have received many lettors from their friends on the othor side ofthe Rio Grande, confirming the news. Coin. Moore's trial was progressing at last accounts from Washington. The health of Galveston seems to be improving. The News has the following on this sub- 1 ject: We now feel justified in assuring our friends i abroad, and those who have taken to the countcy to preserve their health, that the epidemic has entirely left our city. There has not been a new ease to our knowledge since the thunder sliowi ^ - ; -1 II Ml III I ^M-'M-!jULUU I HI . II' ' J-J. that visited us last weak, and we believe our city is in as good a state of health as ever, excepting iu ?me cases where the patients were attacked in e early part of ths sickness. Yesterday we had another Hue shower; attl our city is now all life ( again. jjp ' The canvassing in dtfuelection for President was 1 going on very <jui<lly; There appears to have l?ecn less than the (Iptlid excitement manifesto#!? ' So little buetle ju9t%C?MV> election was never I witnessed therff, ' After the abovo vryf prepared, wo learned that the despatches for our Government were forwarded by Mr Newell, jhp American Consul at Gal- 1 veston, to Mr. Barrett, the Collector of this port, with intimations of their importance, and requesting him to have them sent with all despatch to the 1 seat of Government. In compliance with this re- ( quest, the documents left in yesterdays morning's mail.?iV. O. Picayune , Yesterday's Enquirer has a long article, for 1 which some informatiot touching the proceedings ( of the Cabinet on the Mexican and Texan relations, is the text. These proceedings were caused, it is < said, by recent inforinatbn received at Washington, going to shew in mantitr not to be mistaken tliat England is stimulating Mexico to renew her war upon Texas; and that Santa Anna has succeeded in effecting the Sl.Of'O.OOO loan partly through " British Agency. Thtt the Mexican Minister at London wrote by the steamer to the Mexican Admiral commanding the two* steamships at New l ork, instructing him.to soil immediately, if they , wore repaired, to whero be would be met by another steamer frtm London, with stores ( and ammunition; if they1 were not repaired, he must proceed immediately to Mexico with despatches. He therefore proceeded immediately by | land to New Orleans. One of the steamers is repaired, the other will be iri i about two weeks.? < A reason for this haste, says the Enquirer, is that the expedition must he pressed sons to accomplish ' the invasion before themeetng of the Congress of . tho United States. It is kwwn that the troops for the invasion of Texas are ii a state of organiza- 1 lion. In consequence of this Sate of things, the Enquirer says : "A question has been presented to the 1 Cabinet at Washington, wlut steps should they im- < mediately adopt ? Whether they should convene an Extra Session of Codgress I Whether they should quietly permit thepirasion of Texas, assisted, too, by the instrumentality of England, to proceed, without the slightest interposition on our , port? Whether they should remonstrate with j Mexico against the courstf which she is pursuing, under the mflucucc of the IriTish Cabinet! Whcth er they should fold their flint and suffer the fields of Texas again to be drejehed -with the blood of 1 her citizens?or whether'they should interpose the J shield of the United >Stat4sl And whether they , would call an Extra Session of Congress, to advise ( and regulate the action of\the Executive power I 1 It is now said that the Cabinet has been much di- 1 vided upon this lost proportion : and finnllv. if i< - all ' " ' " determined for the prescn^to have no extra Con- . gross. A messenger hnj within a day or two J been despatched to Mexico with a strong rcmonstrunce upon the course she is pursuing." ( Richmond Compiler. Dealt).
