"Excitcmont" at the University ol Virginia. 4;A Stui.lv:tit" writes tlie following to tho lllchmoncd Despatch, under ilftto of the 10111 instant. Our quiet University, nn<l the community about it, have boon thrown into grent excitement by the reckless use of fire-arms. It appeals that two students, whose names I need not mention, called at Mannoni's, in Charlottesville, at a late hour last night, to get a "night cap," (a drink of liquor,) and finding that ho had.closed his store for the night, commenced knocking, which I suppose disturbed his slumbers, whereupon Mannoui rushed to the window and fired upon them, the load taking effect in their faces. The doctorhas examined tlio .wounds and ox-! traded (herefrom some half dozen sliot- lie ' thinks the shot in tho ear may prove fatal. This morning tho students collected in large numbers around Mannoni's store, and after some deliberation, forced the door open and made a general search, but did not succeed in iinding tho object of their search. Konowing that Mannoni had a brother living in Charlottesville, they were about to proceed tliitlier, when some one coming across a negro, living near them, bribed him to inform 011 tho Mannoni family, which he did. lie informed tliem tliat he was concealed in lleushaws house, just iu the rear ofMannoni's house. This man (Mahhoni) has been a priateand fought in (he Crimea iu the late Russian war. ] le was found in the above mentioned bouse, and after a severe struggle they succeeded in lying him. Thero was a great tumult just then?some were for lynching him, others for taring and feathering him ?fcc., but the majority were in favor of castigating him. But here we met with a more ferious obstacle. lie was taken olf some distance from the college, notwithstanding the mud and rain, and lied to a tree, (on the opposite hill another party had Mannoni's brother lied in a like manner.) It was here that Dr Maupin appeared and made a very effectual appeal to the student?, advisinc liicni to let the law liave its course ; he inMstetl strenuously that Lynch law should not he enforced in Virginia, and especially at the University. After much deliberation and discussion, it was agreed to let the "law have its course," and that Mannoni and brother, which latter seems to have been somehow implicated, be carried to jail. The Major and police met them at the edge of town, expecting that they would deliver the prisoner into their hands, but found themselves laboring under a mistake, for the students insisted upon taking care of the gentleman themselves, and did not re lease their hold until within the prison wall*. Tliev also imprisoned two of his brolhers. ! llis trial will come oil' to-morrow, at three j o'clock. One of the Mannoni's got a ride on a rail between the University and town. ' From Europe' Wo find llio following items of news, brought by the America at Halifax, additional to what, has been already published in our puper. We have received New York papers containing a telegraphic notice of the arrival of the America, but owing to the storm in the East of that city, the wires would not work, so that her advice could come through. The telegraphic cable, for the laying of which, it will bo remembered, England furnished three steamers, will be completed in June, and laid in July. In j reorard to the correspondence which is snirl I to have been taken place between England, France and Spain, it is added that the latter hopes to obtain the. moral support of those powers, and in'casc the question goes beyond war with Mexico and Spain, their material aid also. Berlin papers confirm the statement that Russia has disagreed to the claims of Denmark being referred to the arbitration of the European powers. The Danish Diet unanimously approve of i the abolition of the Sound Dues, and the treaty concluded by the foreign - powers. The Austrian Circular states that, respecting the Austrian and Sardinian rupture, the meditation of France and England should l?e unsuccessful, Austria will seek measures for her own protection. The authenticity of the Circular is doubted in Italy by the Austrian Embassador at Naples. The Qt tomnn Jiinlmssador at Teheran had required tlio execution of the treaty made for the ; restitution of several towns in Turkey. Advices from Hushire to the 25th of February elate that General Outram's expedition for the capture of Mehamerah, on the Karoon, was about to start. The embarkation of troops had commenced. An aLtack was expected on the 20th of Ma relit. The weather in England has been favorable for cfops. Exoitixo Sckne.? In the course of the trial of the Dalton divorce case, yesterday morning, the counsel for Mrs. Dalton subjected Mr. Coburn to a most severe cross examination, Mr. Durant giving as a reason that he did so for the sake ot establish ing the character of tlie witness's moral principle, with a view of showing what his testimony was worth. The question "did you steal 61/700 ?"' was repeated again and again ; the witness evidently wus wrought up to a high degree of excitement, and being thus compelled to expose his own nets and the motives which led to it, before n crowded court; and at least having permission to make an explanation, he. seemed to nerve himself for the admission ; his , face was Hushed, his eyes sparkled and !. with vehement tone and voice full'of emotion, be brought lii9 band down upoo^be oar as ne-saicl: "I aid take 351,700." During the merciless and business-like attempt of the talented counsel to obtain this answer, the feelings of all present had become intensely excited., and-tnesister of Mr. Cob-, i urn, who hauj^t in the witness box, weep ?ng, threw him$blf into? tho arms of her neighbor iu an agony of--grief, and it was found?ffecessary to lead her from the room.

Orr, member of Congress from Spartanburg district, declines a re-election. We aresor ry to hear this. Col. Orr is a gentleman of brilliant as well as amiable qualities, and lias been one of the very foremost in llie House of Representatives. He was the leading member of the "corruption committee" of Inst session, and has been generally looked to as the probable Demeocratic nominee for speaker of the next House. If Congress could bo made up of men like Col. Orr, it would be such a body as the world never saw before. lie cannot be spared from the councils of iho nation; and wo join with the Georgia Constitutionalist, in expressing the hope that, ho will reconsider his determination, and continue to adorn the capitol with his noble presence. Sprint/field Argus. Col. Orr is ono of those strong and talented men. whose good sense, and sound national sentiments, have endeared him to the true Democracy, wherever he is known. He is exactly the kind of man that is wanted in Congress, and the whole country would linil liits ri'-plwlinn with iilpasnrc : and as a good omen.

The lower Battalion of the 8th Regiment was reviewed at Bradley's, on last Saturday, by Col. H. H. Harper and his well appointed staff. The Battalion was commanded by Mnj. W. A. Roger?, and the various evolutions were well performed and reflected credit upon the officers. Gen. M. L. Bonham was present and made an appropriate speech which was well rceived. He announced that C. P. Sullivan, Esq., and himself were the only candidates in the field, for the vacant seat in Congress. The Battalion Reviews at McCaw's and l/roses, come on on Saturday. Rights of Corporators and Reporters. We are indebted to the publisher for a neatly printed pamphlet of 93 pages, containing an elaborate report of the case of R. \V.

Discourse of Mr. Jacobs. We had tho pleasure of hearing a very interesting Discourse, delivered at the request of sftine of o#r citixcns in the Court House on Tuesday evening last by Mr. Jacobs, a, learned Jewish Rabbi of Charleston. The Reverend gentleman was on a visit to liis Israelitish brethren of our Village, and had during the day performed tho ancient and impressive rite of circumcision in the presence of a number f spectators. The Audience at night was a large and attentive one, and was finely entertained. The Speaker selected as the theme of his remarks, that passage in Exodus, which describes the tangled "feelings of fear, -faith and adcratieft with, whfehthe Israelites beheld the uTCTvnrvw f j^iaroiift bosts, And the discourse wu dfeighed tajbow, that wroilar providence*, , And eqo?Hy ftanpretBive had ever marked, the foaling* of Ood bit ancient people Israel, TTii? idea wta M artftftedty a rapjd ftfeviev of tha'bietory o#'?i* *ooderful ^people^ parried away into the Babylooieh captivity$ overthrown by a Roma* ; w& ftnatty ilia., ported aara| ail wrtMnli., #JH rn*AiJ?ljr . p Biany pawnget of gft*i apd tloquaae*.

Mr. Jacobs is a fluent and pleasing speaker, and has impressed us all with a high opinion of his cloquencc and ability. The Southern Quarterly Review. The Carolina 77//ir? states that the fourth numbir of this able Quarterly, will be published during tho ensuing week, and that it will be njore than usually attractive ill the richness and variety of its contents ; and appeals to all subscribers who nro in arrears to forward the amount, of their subscriptions If this were done the publisher would feci himself encouraged to continue the publication, and to rely upon the liberality of the people of the South to support the work. AVc trust flint I.;. ?-III - ? I'lujrcr response, nnd that n liberal support will be promptly extended. The AVriVio in literary ability is equal to any published on the Continent, and it addresses itself peculiarly to our support, inasmuch as it is the champ'on of Southern interests, mu! as it develops the literary element among us, and reflects honor upon our character and institutions. We ap pend the following statement of the income and expenditures of the publication : In order to prove to our friends, our desire to sustain the work, we think it not. improper to state that we have paid out and incurred a debt in its publication during the past year, amounting to $'.1,343 21 Ofthis amount we have paid in cash ?1,173 20 Liabilities 3-et to be paid 2,170 04 Total expenses $0,843 24 Of this sum we have received 1,'Jltt J'li Excess paid out, over receipts $4,423 34 vn examining our hooks \vc una llic amount due f>,200,CG Profit, after paying expenses $778 32 If the above anionnt, could lie eollectcd, we would be nlile to pay olT all liabilities ami realize a profit of ?778 32.

Gen. Jacksons' Gold Snuff Box. It seems, that by the will of Hen. Andrew Jackson, the Gold Snuffbox, presented to liim by the Common Council of New York city, the large silver vase presented by the ladies of Charleston S. C\, ami llio picture of the utifur ling of the American banner presented by tbe citizens of South Carolina, were lelt in trust to his adopted son Andrew Jaoksrn, Jr., to be pre sented to that citizen, residing in the city or State from which thay were received, whophall be adjudged most valiant in defending his country's rights. The Joint Committee of the Council of New York, in reply to a letter of enquiry as to the whereabouts of the box, have received the following response from Andrew Jackson, Jr. IIbrmitac.k, nkau Xasiivim.e, Tknsksskk, April 14th, 1857.?Peter Monagluin, Ivsq., Chairman of the Joint Special Committee of the city of New York. Dear Sir:?Your favor of the date of tlie 17th tilt., has just been received. liv a lnisdircctiton, to wit. "Andrew Jackson,! .Jr., Hermitage, Decatur Co.. Tennessee," it 1ms .sojourned in anot her post office near by in Tennessee until the present moment. Its contents I have carefully noticed. The gold box left me in tmst by my venerated father, is still here al the Hermitage, safely deposited away. It has been and will be ami is at-all times ready for t lie patriot whom the corporate authorities of the city or Stale of New York shall deem fit to receive it. It is a precious gift, sir, left by the dyinsr patriot to one of his favored countrymen from the great State of New York. May it be worthily and deservedly bestowed, for we all remember that glorious motto, for his beloved country, our glorious country, "it must and iiliall be preserved." As soon as the selection is made'liy the proper authorities of New York, in conformity with the will. I nni readv to nri> seut it to the"favored son selected, whether hero or at Nashville, or nt the city of New York, or to forward it mi through the hands of roiuc safe person selected for tlint purpose, and authority will bo given him to present i t in my natne. I respectfully submit the above to the consideration of the Committee, with the addition that T shall be pleased to hear from them at nnv and all times upon the subject. With grent respect I remain, respectfully, your obedient servant,, ANDREW JACKSON, Jr. Dr. Falmor's Letter. The Columbia papers publish an interesting letter from Dr. l'almer of New Orleans, in renlv to certain eoiimlimentfirv rntnlnf inrw accompanying nn elegant service of silver, presented by his late congregation in Columbia. The letter is n mode! of its kind, and nlludcs most happily to thoso emotions which flic receipts of 6uch a present could not fail to awaken in a sensitivo mind. In the following paragraph?, he thus beautifully refers to the many pleasant associations which bind him to the city of his early ministry, n:i l to that wide sphere of usefulness in'New Orleans, which induced him to forego these at the cnll of duty ; It is idle, perhaps, for me to speak of my attachment to Columbia and its people?to my co-Presbyters there with whom 1 have so long been afFectionatcty and intimately associated ?to the Seminary and its pious pupils?and above all, to the church and congregation to whom 1 have so long preached, "testify iug reEPittance toward God and faith toward our ord Jesus Christ." 1 can never hope to form exactly such attachments n^nin to any other place, or to uny other people ; for I shall nev er ue connected wiiii any other community by exactly such bond#. I ahull never go to another church in the greenness of my youth, nnd be nourished by tlu-m through a period of inexperience to the attainment of a solid growth. I can uever again be bound by domestic ties to sucli a circle of friends and kindred as I have left behind in Carolina; and I shall nev. er pass through another youth, expending the strength of a lirst love upon a placo which is surrounded with all (he associations of opening manhood. If it should so please God, wherever else I may labor, I would choose to return to my own dear Corolina at least to die, nnd to lie down till tho Resurrection Morn in your own quiet Church-yard, beneath the sound of your Sabbath bell. It is proper, however, that I should state in this connexion, I do not regret th? Providence which has removed me to this great city. I find here warm Christian heurts, which have ? - ?j?-i - ? ?.*v?uuvu yu me a (UU9U curuui reception. There is a rut work to be doDe in this city alone for the extension of Christ's Kingdon, and I have convincing proof that tho people whom I no* serve will fully sustain me in earnest efforts to plant the foundations of the Church, wherever a footing can be had. I preach to very large and soTemri?fusemblies, witli comforting evidence, that the word of God is not bourn), but is daily produoing fruit in many hearts, and Draibiuu >t no dUtuni * lown mnA priejtas harvest. I am thrice happy in being rpttpred to Pastoral work, and feel an uosp^ftkable satisJkc'tioh in Sustaining'once more this eqdearing relation. 8hould God spare my li(Ti#r years longer, I see spreading be/ore me a career, of incalculable influence and usefulness ; far transcending ip its wSaeh' aiid in rtadecfree' <nV th^t 1 conld' reasonably expect to o^tnp&as in Carvlipa. la vWfc-bf all this, I jUn rery^hsppy inmy woH< here, hqjrerer painfully^* may feel sepiratiop from old and ttHdOjristiafi friends, stfd thotffch my heart.

Sj Tlie Grand Division was regularly organised, tl at 4 l\ M. on Wednesday the 21st, in Palmetto n llall. A goodly number of the brethren were tl present. After (lie transaction of the usual n preliminary busidess tlie Division adjourned. u: At half pnst 1 l\ M., II. Judge Moore, \V. 1'., in a behalf of Palmetto Division, extended a cor- a dial welcome to the Grand Division to which a tl happy response was made by II. Summer, Esq , the G. W. I'. Addresses were delivered n by Judge O'Xcall, Col. Warren, and others. p On Thursday, after the transaction of the tl I usual business, the Grand Division, in com pi i- ?> anee with an invitation of the Commissioners niul of the Orphan House, visited that Build p' ing and at tended an examination of llie pupils. ]( The result of the examination is represented to d have been highly satisfactory. ti On the evening of tho Fame day, the Anni- ^ versary Celebration of the Cadets of Temper- j, anee look plaeo at the Institute Hull, before an o audience of 2,000 or 3,000 persons.

The Sunflower Culture, a Preventive of ti Chills. ii j The ICalional Inlelliycnccr contains a long let- tl j tor from Lieut. Maury, in which he gives an in- it . tcresting account of an experiment made by o ; him in the culture of Sunflowers, as a preven- g tive of marsh miasma. The observatory at t< I Washington, during the Summer months being j exposed to the decomposition of the marshes of " i the Potomac, the writer was induced to make " the experiment; and in the following para- p j graphs of his letter, gives hiB reasons for select- j i ing the Snnflowcr, as well as the philosophy of its action upon the atmosphere: If it he the decay of the vegetable matter on the marshes that prod lives the sickness on the j> | hill, then the sickness must he owing to the d?- C) leterious effects of some gas. miasm or effluvium, that is set. free during the decomposition and if so, the poisonous matter, or the basis of it whatever it be, must liavo been elaborated during ^ the growth of the weeds, niul set free in their decay. Now, if this reasoning be good, why might we not, by planting other vegetable mat- ei ter between us and t he marshes, and by bring- c< ing it into vigorous growth just about the time sj that of the marshes begins to decay, bring fresh \\ forces of the vegetable kingdom elaborated a: i again into vegetable tissue, and so purify the ci j air i a I Tins reasoning appeared plausible enough to o< justify the trouble ami expense of experiment, e< ami I win encouraged to expcct more or less tl success from it, in tlie circumstance that every- tr body said "plant trees between you ami tlie tl marshes?they will keep olF the chills." But as ci to tlie trees, it so happened that-at tlio very time fo when the decomposition on the marshes is going a< on most rapidly, the trees, for the most part m have stopped their growth to prepare for the cl winter, and though trees might do some good. In yet a rank growth of something got. up for the cl occasion tui j lit do more. Hops elinib high; ti they are good absorbents, and of a rank growth, h< but there were objections to hops on account of tl ! stakes, poles, <fce. I recollected that 1 had often u' seen sun-flowers growing about the cabins in the tr I W?it i,?.l 1.-V--.1 1 1? t w, ihiu uvmu, in c^|Muiimiuii, ib was Lt "healthy" to have them This was no much tl more in favor of making the experiment with N sun-flowers. \v An acre of sun-flowers will absorb during their li growth many thousand gallons of water more ai than nrc supplied by the rains. They are great, ti absorbent*. They are ofeasy cultivation, are di more rank than hops?they require no pole* and tl the seed are very valuable. 1 paid ?8 a bushel li for them. This plant, therefore, apparently of; fi-red to fulfil all the conditions required to satis- T fy the problem ; for if the supposition that the s< ugue and fever poison be imparted to the atmos- E phere by the decaying vegetable matter in the ri marshes, and if this poison were set free during si I he process of decay ; why should not the aun- ?l li.-:.? ~f. .1. _i 1- s* ?.1 .mm (;iu?ui auavi u ii, I1IIU llgUlll CI elaborate it into vegetable mutter, nii(l so fix it c< at least for a while, and until cold weather f I c< consulted upon this subject with one of the most v useful men this country ever produced?the late n> A. J. Downing, of Xewburgh?and he thought E the idea a good one. SI The experiment was mode by planting, a belt ?< i of Sunflowers 45 feet broad around the Observ- lr ntory on the marshy side, and from 160 to 200 j, yards from the buildings and was entirely sue- p ccssful. The Observatory entirely escaped the ?' usual attack of ugue and fever which were ] more thnn usually prevalent in the neighborI ing parts of tbe city. Similar experiments have been made with like success in France. 0| The Ootton Trade from 1825 to 1050. [J The New York Day Book, presents a very 0, interesting summary of facts respecting the ? supply and consumption of cotton for the past ^ 25 years, taken from a late raluablo puhlica- tj tion on the cotton culture by J. A.Turner, Esq., tl of Georgia. We present the leading state- oi ments of the article. The United States is not only the largest w producer, but the largest consumer of cotton, ai i i: .1.. i .ij _ii i! ?i m si |>ruu'.iVMvul one uiid uiduiiiuou ttii cuiiipttl* tion, whilst the cotton goods, worn by the peo- ^ pie, exceed the amount consumed in Great o| Britain,and all her dependences; and the de- it mands of her manufactories have increased ' more rapidly than those of any other country. ^ In twenty years, our average crop, has in- ? creased from 848,000 bales, to 2,357,000, or ti nearly 300 pft cent In the sain* time, the pro- w duction of all other countries, has only risen t' from 383,000 to 440,000 bales having.absolutely w declined in the Dastfi veafs over 16 ner ??nt tn As our bags hare increased too in weight and are now ranch larger than those of other conn- e< trie*, our advance Jim been greater than the ^ above figures would indicate. a, In the same period of twenty years, the eon- al sumption of our manufactories, haa.advanaed 323 per cent vis: from 129^00, bales to 68ft,060, whilst the advance of Gfcat Britain, has K been only 125 per cent vis: from 653,000 t& ct 1,472,000. Though the absolute consumption by qpr manufactories in far below that of the Bpgllsh, yet in the ate- years pr?e?d?f_*JIM#, o?t inc!roas<s has been 176,600 bales, and tbfcfiv Tl ily 180,000. In 1850, our consumption was 1 J percent, of the English, whilst twenty years ' efbre, it wus only 10 per cent. France during . II thin period lins remained stationary. In pain. Belgium, Gcriimiiy, Holland and Russia, I ?e increase of manufactured goods, line been 1 cnily ns rapid as iu tin* United Stales. Though 1 ic manufactories of f! re at Britain consume lore than one half of nil the cotton, which is lanufuctured in Europe and Americn, the 1 mount actually used hy her [)Cople, including II that is exported to Iter colonics, is less than ic amount u.*o?l in the United States. With regard to relative increase in the delainl nnd supply, and the increase in the suply compared with the uutural increase of labor ic article presents tlie following interesting tateineiit: "If we compare the progress in demnnd and iipply. it will be seen that during the five cars from '45 to "50, the increased consumption us been 10 per cent., while the increased prouction stands only nt. t'. The average amount ikeii by tlie manufacturers from IS 10 to 1815 ran 2,111,000 bales, and froui 1840 to 1850 2,1)9,000 bales, showing an increase of <105,000 ales, while the supply advanced from 2,561, 00 bales to 2,701,uoO nil increase of only 230, 00 bales. When it. is remembered that tlic ist period embraces the year 1848, when, from lie revolutions in Kuroiie, the consumption delined over GOO.OiiO bales, and the year 1845 nd 1840, when the American crop so for exi>cded its usual average, this result will he tore striking and important.

The first fact that, presents itself, in considringthe clfeeU which must result front thesuc:ss of this enterprise, is the annihilat ion of both ince and time bet ween the Old and the New ,'orlds. One of the principal objects urged gainst its practicability wasthc diiHciiliy in proiring a battery Mitliciently strong to transmit, pulsation across the Atlantic through asimple inductor. it was, however, satisfactorily provl by l'rofessor Morse, thai it not only could be ai:e, but that a strong electric current could ansmit a dot or character a distance of two lousnnd miles in t Wo seconds. Other electrians said it eould not be done in less than from nir to six seconds, but the fact that it could he scomplishcd wus fully established.

Tho semi-annual examinations of the Cadets F the Citadel Academy have been in progress lis week, and as whatever concerns this instituon is not only of interest but of importance to ur State, we present our readers an outline of hat has been done, and the results that have een arrived at. Monday a/id Tuesday were occupied with le examination of tlie third or lowest class in 10 Citadel. The subjects of the examinations n the two days, were plain Geometry, Univer11 History and French. A new feature was oticeable in the examination in History, which as for the first time conducted ly the Assistnt Professor, Cadet Davis. Hotli the uliusand le young Professor, acquitted themselves hnndiinely. The examination in French, too, by rofewor Stevens, was also a marked portion f the exercises. This was conducted entirely i the polite tongue?both the questioning of le Professor ana the answering of the Cadets, he false orthography, etymology, syntax and rosody, of Norl's and Chapman's Grammar ere corrected, and the reasons for tho oorrMons given in French, a thing not easy to dp ithout something more than a smattering of le language.?Tho examination in Geometry I as under the charge gf Professor White, and i m in every respect eredilable and satUfte- 1 try. .

They were also "presented" by Professor Stevens on Political Economy, but this examination, as in the case of Natural Philosophy, and for a similar reason, was poatpoued till November. Last evening was commenced th<?Semi-Annual Exhibition of I he Academy. Tlie assembly was in the new Ilall belonging to the instittition. It was hastily prepared for the present occasion, and all its arrangements are not yet complete, but it already, and nevertheless, makes a very line appearance. The Ilall is not a small one, but it was last evening well filled, and a large portion of the audience were ladies. The exhibition passed off very quietly and decorously, as is ever in accorduuce with the rights of propriety. The Courier makes the following complimentary notice of Cadet IT. I).
