In the past few days the State has been called upon to mourn the death of two well known and highly estecn. ed citizens, General John 8, Prestonl uimd the Rev. Dr. John L Bonner. So prominent have they been, the ne In the political and social, the other in the educational history of South Caro. lina, that it is n1ecdleas to give more than a brief sketeh of thir lisves, in order to dimct the attention of the i ifing generation to the examples they ailtrded of true nobility. Gon. Preston's ancestor came over from Ireland in the last century, ind floinded.a family, the branchesof which have been emiient in American poll lies. The Prestonse, the Blairs, the lireckenidges, the Floyds, the Hlamp. tawii.tre al .eoiimected, and they have 1ed almoit every office of honor from ePresident dow).

At. the close of the war he a wc d veral years ill Paris, but sub sequen t ly retulied to his old home, C hbia, 'where lie died. General .Pet n wasi never reconciled to the r;t. of the war, and for him life could have no real happiness under the new order of things. While his death should be mourned for the loss it enttails upon others., for himself there can be no regrets. - le had made his peace with his Maker, ald is now at rest. The Rev. Dr. Bonner was born in Alabama ill 1822, but was for the greater part of his life a Citizen of this blate. In 1845 be become a licensed minister of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, but hifs calling was to educate the women of his adopted State. After conducting a school for a nutiber of y.ears, he was, in 1859,;unanimnousaly elected President of the Due West F1emnale College, IHow well heo performed his task during a long course of twenty-one y'ears, the charncters of the noble Charistianl wo men01 who hlave left their alma mater, to undertake the duties and responlsi bilitles oflife, suficiently attest. Iln addition to his college duties, Dr. Bouner ably conducted the paper of his religious denomination for .tblrty years, and wa the oldest editor in the State.. Hie wvas a bright and shinintg lighi. in his church, and took a promi nent part sin alI its deliberations. We cannot do better than to add to our feeble tribute th~e followintg pre amble and resolutions adopted by the faiculty and students of Erskine Col lege on hearing the sad news that Dr. - onne~r was nao more: it view of the recent death of the Rev.

The elimate of Columbia is unsur passed for healthfulness and ilmwuni .ty from epidemic diseases. Of Mr. Miles we will say what lie could not say of himself that ho is a gentleman of ability and Mar more than ordinary culture. 'Before the war he made one of the best mavors the city of Chaeleston ever had, and he repre sented with honor the Charleston Dis trict in the Federal and Confederate Congresses. Hie is fully master of his department, and his executive ability has already been proven. le thus speakb of the qualifications of his associates: Of Prof. Woodrow It would be enough that Prof. Joseph LeCoiite pronounced him "quite as competent to fill his chair as he (Prof. LeConte) was." (This was when Prof. L.. after holding the matter under advise ment for some time, declined to leave his high and liberally remunerated po sition in the University of California, and come to'us-uncertain as to wheth er our State really was in earnest, as are all her Southern sisters, in the de sire and intention to build up the State i1stitution of learning.) Prof. Wood row has enjoye(l all the 'advantages of the best German Universities, .is an en thusiastic student of science, and wide ly known for his extensive acquire ments II those special branches upon which he lectun'es. Prof. $lao ia a dlatinguished 'cradu ate of West Point, where he took very high rank--among the first in his clas's -and has been a sucessful professor in one of our sister colleges. Prof. Burney, with uncommon zeal in the prosecution of chemanical research es, has had the fullest traitadng under the most celebrated German p~rofes sors, and has been (in itself a high testimonial) a Fellow of the Johns Hopinis University. OfPro. Faber, as an instructor in modern languages, It would be super.. fluous for meo to speak, so widely aind favorably is he knaown as an adnmirable and successful teacher- particularly of German and French. Prof. Fingerlin, a graduate of a Roe man college, has the highest endorse ments as a competent instructor, in both ancient and modern languages, and testimonials from many' of our best citizens, in whose families lhe has given instruction. For enabling our students to acquire practical acquaintance ith planting and farming, and the methods of culti1 vating our staple crops, we have an ample area of Iand, where Mr. Con nors-ourm farmer, an ex perioeed and skilled agriculturist-gives his undivided attention to field1 and gar dlen operations. Here the lectures on Agricultural Chemilst ry are supple miented andl illustrated by the test and comparison of various fertilizers on growing cr~opa. We do not propose to make our farm an "experimental farm ," as that term is usualy uinder stood, I. e., as a collection of little minute squares of ground, where cu r'ious and~ fanici experiments are to be made; such as Liebig mig ht have mnade in lpots of earth in his laboratory. We wvill, rather, aim to teach our young men, who pr~opose to follow plantingror farming ase a means of live hho, te most ap~proved and success ful methods of raising remunerative crops-as well in the preparation of the soil (often half the battle) and best nse of ning inmplements in all stages of ths (from seeding to harvest in~g a .hag for market)--as in the su1. . *f all the0 requisites of plant foK There is dawn of a NEW EnlA AN THlE AGRICULTURE of our State. Our gifted and distin gutished fellow citizen, D~r. St. Julien Ravanol, has demnonstrated by repeat ed t rials, that sixty or seventy bushels of oata-and other grain proportion ately-and from four to five tons of hay may be raised on one acre of land -(by p oper treatment an an applica tion o by no meanas expensive fertil izers) whtere, without such treatanent and application, hardly a tenth of such yield could be had. "tiermuda Grass" may yet be destined to work a revolu tion ini oar. agricultural industry. It is now indigenous to our soil thor oughly acclimated, indestructible by winter frosts or summer suns andt droughts, requiring but moderate care tonurseitiuntoa luxuriantgrowth, with which "Timothy" cannot compar. The marked success which has attended Its culture, on a large scale, by Governor Hagood-one of our most enlightened and editoated and, at the same timce p)racticai farmers--has long taken this question of Bermuda Grass hay out of the hands of tihe experimenter and the domain of theory. And in this connec tion I may be permitted to add that Governor Hagood, as chairman ex offioto of our Board of Trustees, takes not only a do interest in our frmin niit Palm With continual eE ii pr dO d j~estions. I truat c seems to me giten , ov When I toll you tiatet, JeseA Jones is our master mechanic, and has chare' of the work shop, where, under ia3 eye, the student learns the use of oil ordi -y tool iand bow to handlo them and Jow to plan and construct farm buildins ad to make mtl repair hring;- ispiIloments &c., nd wheoro graduA y, a practical acquailtance with eligines, mills and machinery, generSlly, may be acquired; from yQir own knowiedge of Mr. Jones, as a thoroughly skilled and unusually in-. geniogs mechanic and machinist, you must be convinced that in this depart ment, not less thana in tile agrIcultural, our young men have excellent advaint ages extended to them, especially to thosp who desire to master so much of of mAchanics as may prove practically useful to them as planters or farmers. When our people shall have become thoroughly awakened to the necessity of providing TE MEANs OF EDUCATION of the highest grade to the poorest classes of her citizens-free of expense -so that there can never more be even the excuse for the cry that the College at Columbia is "anl aristo- q cratic institution," "the rich man's col loge, &o., 4c,, then We may see our i Legislature, in imitation of the Legis latures of our sister States of the South, making provisiou herself, in addition to the Congressional aid by which we 1 are at present solely supported, for en. v larging the scope of instruction in our wAlM And making the College of South Caro i - an institution of high and liberal culture, of which her people may justly be proud, and fir which un A born generations of her sons will be . grateful. Perhaps I ought not to con- , elude this communication without 1 some allusion to what, I am told, is an obstacle in our way. I refer to what i l considered the hostility, or at least 0 opposition, to "a State .College, .i the part of the local colleges of otur b State. I trust that this is, if not alto- " gether An err'oneous, At any rate at) ex- p nggerated view. Why should any in. stitution of sound learning LOOK WITH JEALOUSY a upon any new sister coming to her side a as a coadjutor in the great task of pop- ~ ular enlightenment? Is there not room enough for us all to work in our ap' propriate spheres? Indeed, I think hi there is room enough and to spare. 1 Our young men are growing up In a to sadly de1ent state of intellectual de.- , velopment and mental training for the 'i great duties of life. The proportion of ea tiem i who go to colleges at all 1a very ci small. I repeat, there is roor, for all our colleges. Let there be only a g i . - erous rivalry among us to see how much each of us can do towards stimu lating the 46uth of ur State to the dc sire for, and the pursuit of, that "high er educabtion," without which a pcoj>le must inevitably retrograde, not only in itellectual 'but material progress. For if there be one thing in the present age of the world more certain than another, it is that mind rules not only the forces of the social and political k world, but, to an even greater exient, 0 the forces of Nuture. Shonw Ine the 0 It nation where the intelligence of, the D mass of the people is most developed n by training, i. e., where thorugh edI.- b cntion ie moot Jims~ood, and I wiln a show you a nation most advanced in t 6ven. material wealth and prosperity. Let us . s MULTIPLY OUR SCHoOLs AND COLLEOE8, then, say I. We cannot -hbgve too o many) of them. In education the aph- b orism of "Too much of a good thing" ( does not hold(. Who wvould oppose a the building of a new~ church 01n the 'r plea that there were "churches eunugh t< already"? Is the plea any stronger in the case of colleges-especially in a. State where the young men are grow ing up in .so general a state of illiter acy ? No I let us educate-educte~. in common schools, in private schools, c in high schools, in normal schools, in ~ colleges, in universities-everywhere i educate! And especially let our mother, the State, extend to the poor est boy on her soil such advanta'wes P in the way of education as may enaTilo " him to compete in a professional or g public career, in any pursuit and in * every way, with the richest and proud est in the'land I c And now, if I have trespassed' un duly upJoni your patience.
