Doctor Cooher.-The Legislature of South Carolina have been discussing aresolution re- quiring the dismissal of this gentleman from the college of that State. The cause of com plant appears to be, certain safdel writings, as they are termed, which have been attrbut- ed to Doctor c. The resolution has been for the present disposed of, by referring the charge to the board of trustees of the College, with an understanding that the Doctor should be dismissed, in case they be substantiatcd.
 The writings alluded to, are we believe, of an anonymous character. Our readers may pro- bably recollect Of having heard, some time since, much talk about them. Of their te- nets, we know nothing, never having read or seen them. No evidence, however, has yet appeared to establish the fact of the Presi- dents being the author And whether he is or is not, appears to us subject of very little interest to the community in which he lives, so long at least, as he refrains from Teaching the College over which he presdes, his faith and dogmas, CT the faith and dogmas of any other sect, whatever.
 Dr Cooper is between 70 and 80 years of age, and if we recollect aright, is son-in-law, and was a pupil of the distinguished Dr Prestly, whose religious paitialities, it is supposed, he imbibet-In word, we believe he is Uni tarian, to which is attached some of the most distinguished citizens in our Union; such as J. Q. Adams, Jared Sparks, and others as highly distinguished for moral, political and literary fame.
 Dr C. is considered one of the most erudite scholars in the Union. In the Republic of the-States, as well as in the Republic of let ters, he is ardent and patriotic; and even at his present advanced stage of life, is said to be one of the most indefatgablc students in the country. He enjoyed the confidence of the sage of Monticello for many years before the decease of that ilustrious personage.-- The services of such man should not be lost ''for slight and transient causes. ."--Maeon .Hduertiser.

oficera. We have taken two standards ls pieces of cannon. of which part have aii their harnrss-l5 wagons filled with ammu- milton, and some thousands of n'uskets.
 "Ths victory is the more advantageous for the Polish arms, inasmuch as it has not been bought on our side by any very cons'd' erable loss. This is attributable to the sur prise of the sudden attack'which we made--an attack which we followed up throughOu the day with the greatest vigor. Many Ofthe en- emy's battaliOns were cut to pieces on the field of battle, and others were made prison CTS in body. Being above 20 hours on horse back, it is impossible for me at this moment to furnish more complete report. only pray of the national government to order a solemn service. to thank God for having deigned to shed his blessing upon our arms.

PnILADELrmIA, May 10, 1881.

Sly
HAVING been given to understand,
through channel, entitled to full credit,
that YOU have been consulted by some
friends of the President, as to the intiu-
ence which might be produced in your
state by my re-appointment to an office
within the circle of senatorial conhrma-
ton, and that your opinion was unfavora-
bic to such an appointment, which you
represented as calculated to sour Iirgin-
ia; permit me to trespass so far on your
candor and politeness as inquire wheth-
er YOU did give such an opinion-and il
you did, upon what ground you formed
that opinion'
My object in thus inquiring, is far from
being one Of idle curiosity; it aims as
much to vindicate you from what ] be-
