StudentS Of Georgetown COLLEGE.

A CARD.-We are happy TO state that
the difficulties at Georgetown College
have been amicaby adjusted, and that we
have all again returned 10 the quiet prose
cution of our usual studies. We greatly
regret that the late occurrence has given
rise to so many false and sIandcrous re.
ports. Among those circulated in the pa
pors of the day, and which seem especial
iv to claim a denial, are, that the STU
denis held a meeting denouncing the ty-
rannizing and demoralizing practices of
their first project, and complaining of the
improper quality Of their food :" another
saving THAT thee students had been
confined on account Of their religious
principles" These statements we
pronounce to be absolutely false. We
pi,v those who have originated such
foolish reports, and we are willing to at
tribute them rather 10 their ignorance than
to anv malicious desire of injuring those
whose characters are above all the wanton
attacks Of their enemies. We unanimous
" bear witness to the kind manner in
which we we're treated by the faculty Of
the college, and also unite in returning
them our sincere thanks for the prompt
exertions which they made TO arrange the
late difficulty TO the complete satisfaction
Of both parties.
We, therefore, hope that all further i'm
putation against the characters Of the pro-
fessors of this venerable institution may
Immediately cease, and that he high re-
pule in which they have ever been held
as teachers and as ministers Of religion
NAV stimulate an honest public 10 dis.
connfenance those who may hereafter en-
deaver to traduce them.

This intruder I have said, rose and
asked to look at my right hand. AS
though l had not power to refuse l ex-
tended it. The truth is, | felt a strange
chill pervade me at his touch he grasped
it, and held it near the light, thus afford
ing me full time to examine every feature

ton. Gentlemen, l shuddered as be-
held the horribly dead aliue look OF that
visage. After holding my hand for mo-
ment. he looked at me steadily, and said
in quiet way

now. What is that cried |, alarmed

He said no more, gentlemen, but drew
from beneath his cloak an object which he

bones of Isaac Hayne before you. tie

But there was no blotch upon his right
hand
With these words the intruder left the
room. | started back from the contact
with the dead mans bones and-awoke.
Overworn by labor, had fallen asleep and
been dreaming. Was it not a singular
dream 2
All the company answered in the aifir-
native. Toombs muttered, "singular,
very singular" at the same time looking
rather curiously at the back of his right
hand-and Mr.. Calhoun, placing his head
between his hands, seemed buried IN
thought.
