The Army and the Nation mourn the loss OF
their embodiment, Of all that was brave and
chivalrous, whose daun'less soul never failed 10

located in Edgefeld District, IS. c. twelve
miles northeast of Augusta, and about sixty
miles southwest of Columbia, upon small du.

ridge of granite in the State, and is we'll built
of that material, handsomely dressed. and two
stories high, three hundred aud fifty feet long,
and fifty feet wide. The line ffront is broken
by projecting butrasses, through which are the
entrances, and, without appearing large, afford
ample room for stairways 10 the second story;
and, rising in balcony from above the caves,
alse affords stairway and entrance into the
ccck.ot, which is lighted in the roof, and is
nearly equal TO third story.
The water is brought in a mile long canal,
and falls upon two wheels from torty-feet head.
The cotton is taken into warehouses from
wagons in the street, and passed from there
some hundred feet on railroad into the picker
room, in stone building separate from the
main building, and from thence. by tho gradual
stages Of manufacture, upon the most beautiful!
and perfect machinery that modern ingenuity
and Yankee skill can fashion, through the en-.
tire length of the building, and out at the olher
end in cloth, and up and away in The slorehouse
corresponding to that of the cotton house, but

the machinery is now in operation. When all
is completed there will be 9,245 spindies and
800 looms, all operated by three hundred men,
girls, and boys, from twelve years up, and whose
wages average now three dollars week, most
of them working by the piece. They are all

other Districts been honored hy your Excellen'
cy with call for this purpose. hut some, ofeven
less size, have been invited TO send several del.
egates.
The writer hopes thai your Excellency will
not consider it impertinent to inquire why it is
that the District of Lancaster, that has always
been prompt 10 do severe and perious service
for the honor and dignity Of our common coun-
try, should lie thus passed over unnoticed! How
is it that members of the Legislature from 9th

ry of your Excellency, whilst those of Lancas.
ter, that have been esteemed worthy by ma
iory of her citizens to egislate for her, and that
have common interest with the balance OF our

been called on for an exercise Of judgment on

The South Carolina College.

The Temperance Advocate, Of last week,
contained notice Of the proceedings, Of the
Board Of Trustees Of the South Carolina Col.
lrge, from which we take the following items.
The continued i'll health of lis distinguished
President Hon. W. G.. Preston, induced the
Board, to extend 10 him an unsolicited leave of
absence until the Isl October, that he might
find, in travel, and the bracing air Of other sec.
lions, means 10 recruit his weakened consttu.
tion. In the expression Of hope, that he might
soon be restored to health and usefulness, ac.
companying the permission, all the friends of
the Institution heartily unite. II has attained
a height of prosperity, under his popular admin.
istra,ion, never before equaled, and the cause
of literature and general education in our State,
at this time, would feel severely his loss.
The Board made two approprialions-one of
$4,000 TO convey water into all the College
buildings, as we'll for the purpose Of preserving
them in case Of fire, as to add to the convent.
ence of the persons on the premises,-ihe other
of $4,000 TO be expended in taking down and
reconstructing the centre building Of the Old
North College.
I, is gratifying to learn that the Trustees
have made another effort, to exclude intoxica.
ting drinks, of all kinds, from the College
buildings. They have amended their laws,
as TO prevent even the introduction of wines,
which appears to have been admissible under
the former clause. DR.. Lieber brought the
subject to the notice Of the Board.
To secure the fund, arising from Tuition fees,
from the possibility of being wasted, the Exec.
u,ivc Committee, the Library Committee, the
Faculty and the Treasurer, are required to
report a specification Of the expenditures ne.
cessary to be made during the recess of the
Board, for which all necdful appropriations will
be made.
Ex-Governor D. Johnson, who had been
Trustee from the year 1915, until the close OF
his Gubernatora term, was unanimously cho.
sen TO fill the vacancy oLcasioned among The
elective members of the Board by The election
of W. B. seabrook Esq, to the office of Gov.
ernor. 4 well paid tribute to the worth of
Carolina's sage.
The influence of the College has never been
so wide.spread, and her reputation has never
been placed on frmer, and more lasting
foundation.
1t is rapidly leaving, on the high road of
strength and usefulness, far in the rear, other
moro time .honorcd institutions of learning. and
we ,rus, its late improvements and convenien.
ces will continue to prevent patronage I" dis.
tant Colleges, where views are entertained
unavorable TO our laws and peculiar forms Of
society.
