New Female College.

We are authorised and requested to state that the
action of the Committee in locating the Female Col
ege at Spartanburg will be resisted at the next Con-
ference in Newbcrry. One Of the grounds Of dissas-
faction-and very weighty objection it is too-will
be urged that the location Of Female Institution
very near TO Wolord College will be almost certainly
ruinous to one, or both. Tie prime reason given by
the Committee in selecting this location very strong
one WHY it should not be carried out. Too many III
stances have already occurred in this Statesome Of
them known TO Conference or ought to be-tha show
the utter impolicyo placing two such institutions in
close proximity From the information which we
have, not confined to the immediate vicinity of this
place but from a number Of others, we are satisfied
that the dissatisfaction is very general and this not
only among the laity Of the Church. but large num-
ber Of the South Carolina Conference will vote against
the location of the College at Spartanburg. Another
reason is, that the Committee have not selected "a
central and suitable place." requested by the reso
luton appointing them.
Other objections could he urged, and will be pre-
scntcd at the next Conference, why the New Female
College, which is to be under the patronage Of the
South Carolina Conference should not be located at
SpartanLurg.
This notice is intended to convey theintclgence to
our Spartanburg friends that they will have opposition
at the next sitting Of the Conference at Newbcrry, and
that they make their calculations accordingly.

Registration of Births &c.

The registration rf births, marriages and
deaths, is coming into general favor in the Uni
ted States as for a long time it has been in
the best Informed and most polite countries
Of Europe. The advantages to he derived
from wcl-devised system OF registration are
81 Obvious, that it seems strange TO hear any
man of intelligence ohjectinS to-,hc paltry cx.
rcnsc necessary to secure it. 1t yields meal

Church, and the whole progress Of the meet
ing was marked by the most delightful social
and religious intercourse.
The scenery iuthe eghborhood Of CLASSY
Mountain Church, is most beautiful and pic
turesqie The Church itself is located on a
charming wooded cminence, in tnll view of the
mountain, which towers over it at the distance
of two miles. The mountain itself is but lit
tie below Table Rock as a natural curiosity,
whilst the view from its summit is one Of the
most extensive the range affords We wonder
that it has not been more noticed, and more
frequently visited. 1t only requires to be
known, in order to make it one of the most
popular resorts f"r. the seekers Of the beauti-

A NEGRO ErERAN.-Few persons we think,
have travelled, in Texas who have not heard OF
Thomas Savoy, alias Black Tom, alias the Spe
cia Citizen Of Bexar County. He was by trade
barber, but 10y inclination soldier, and his
history is intimately connected with the warlike
part of that of Texas. &c was much fondcr, too,
of the company Of white men than that Of per-
sons of his own color.
Tom was native of Maryland, then a citizen
Of Washington, d. c., then resident Of Mssis,
sirpi, whence he emf grated to Texas, at the
beginning Of the revolution there, with Il compa-
ny of Mississippi volunteers, his razor in his
pocket and gun on his shoulder. They joined
Gen Houston short time after the battle of
San Jacinto, but Black Toms subsequent cou-
duet as soldier elected the praise of his hard
fighting comrades ard superior officers.
The year 1889 was distinguished in Texan
annals by the expedition under Jordan to'Sal-
tillo, to assist the treacherous Canalcs in his
armed Fcder;rlist attempt against the Mexican
anti Federalists. He betrayed his little band Of
Texan allies, but they and their gallant leader
gave the united Federalists and States Rights
Mexican army two as thorough consecutive
drubbinga as they ever received, and then re-
turned leisurely home, without interruption.
Black Tom was one of Jordan's men, and if he
had little occasion or time to use his razor, he
made up for it by skill;ul handling Of lis often
$ive weapons.
In 1912, Gen. Wool invaded Texas with a
Mexican army and got good beating at the
battle of the Salado. Tom was in the midst Of
it and was wounded. He participated in sevc-
raj subsequent conflicts with the Indians, fight
ing brave " rs usual.
lie followed his old Texan comrades under
Taylor's banner and hurried along with them
into battle at Monterey. He was also in the
memorable struggle at Bucna Vista.
Black Tom chen returned to Texas with the
Kentucky volunteers. and after that San Anto-
Mo became his head quarters. He was, Of course
a general &nvorite, and living like a lord, hut the
wandering spirit that ten years adventures in
Texas had made second habit with him, would
now and then break out, and Black Tom would
be missing. The next thing heard of-him. he
was at frontier post, or far up in the Indian
country, in the midst OF danger
On the 18th ut. the body Of man was found
two miles west of San Antonio A coroner's
inquest was held, and verdict returned OF
Come to his death from cause unknown. -
The body WAS that Of old Tom ~. O. Pica-
