Charleston, Aug. 13, 1873.
The Senior of the I'isi/or haa been
a traveler, but has returned at too
late au hour to give an account of
his plregriuatioua. The Lord «m
were dark, and he beard the muffled
sound of the coining tempest; bat
he stood from under and sought
shelter in the stage couch. At Wood-
stock the clouds disponed, the sky
was clear, and the prospects were
cheering. At Salisbury the lull
meridian blase of the unclouded sun
jioured down its rays of light and
heat on him, and be rejoiced because
the Lord had raised op friends to
comfort, sustain and aid him. The
promise is eternally true, that he
that believeth ia Christ shall not he
confounded.
Having a number of artiokes re
ceived in our absence, which hare
the priority aud are of present in
terest, the Visitor defiers telling its
experience of the goodness of the
Lord, and the kindues* of the breth
ren till next week. The whole ia
written on the tablets of memory,
and can not be effaced.

present is the largest,ever known od

young gentlemen are iu attendance

larger representation. Epty train
brings new arrival* and confirms the
opinion that this will be the most
prosperous session in the hiotory of
the College.
We rejoice to record this gratify
ing evidence of the widening influ
ence of this institution, which so
well merits a liberal patronage. It
deserves this all the more because
its expenses have boon red need to
