be heard throughout the premises. Against
this practice the faculty have often remon-

In February last they determined to suspend
offenders, and 80 announced. On the 10Th of
March member of the Sophomore Glass was
reported, and, refusing to 'sdeny the charge
was suspended. In consequence of this, many
of the students withdrew from the institution,
and those who remained became SO outrageous
in their conduct as to render the place a per-

We need not apologize to our readers for a.
rect;ue their attention to this subject again. 1t
ia one yhich If it does not interest, concerns all,
and ~ ii Is to come up before the Upper Board
If the night, for, we hope, final deci-
sion. Ii Is lit that we should once more hold it up
for public consideration and make an earnest
appeal to every member of the Board, whether
opposed to or in favor Of the bill, not TO cast any
obstacle in the way Of its immediate settlement,
but ON the contrary to use every effort to have it
at once placed before the people for their final
decision, knowing, as every body must know and
FEW win deny, that the city has nothing to gain
and may have much to lose by further procras-
tination, and that il New Orleans is to enjoy the
inestimable benefits to which the completion and
operation Of this road will make her heir the
less delay there may be about it the better
The active opposition which prevailed Tor
long time against this enterprise has SO tar as
we are able to learn, almost entirely ceased
for the close and searching scrutiny which 1t
instituted into the affairs Of the Company has
but had the effect of making the public more
completely acquainted with their details, and Of
giving more general satisfaction in regard to
the whole matter.
The vote in the Upper Board on Tuesday
night last adopting the first section Of the ordi-
nance, was joyfully hailed throughout the city
as the pledge Of its passage, and the final sue
cess Of the enterprise.

SOUTHERN FABRICS GONG NoRTH-In our
last we gave q paragraph or two relative to
Southern vegetables and other produce that
we're daily being sent to market at the North.
Some of our Columbus factories have been in
the habit of sending pretty large orders to New
York and Philadelphia for more than twelve
months past, which goes to prove that we are
no ways behind the rest of the world, either in
the facilities of furnishing goods of superior
quality, or for rates as favorable to large pur-
chasers as those at which they can buy the
same goods nearer their own DOORS And the
cream of the circumstance does not stop here,
judging from single transaction that occurred
during the Summer of '58. A bale of goods
manufactured in this city, was sent to Philadel-
phia and sold. The next steamer from that
city brought back the identical bale, which had
been purchased by merchant from the interior
of Georgia, and who, on being told that the
cloth was made in Columbus, remarked, he
thought it was the cheapest and best piece of
goods of the kind that he had purchased for
years past. columbus Enquirer
