OUR REPRESENTATIVE.

WE have ground for saying that our talented and
efficient Congressman, Hon. P. S. BROOKS, believes
would be better df sister States of the South
require i that South Carolina should go with them
into the Cincinnati Convention to avoid giving
of dissatisfaction. At The time, we are sure he
would deprecate any proposition which might at this
time distract our State. We beg to acknowledge the
receipt of short letter from member upon this
subject. Being quite sick at the time it reached us,
barely glanced over it and ordered i, to be put
aside for further and closer attention. What was our
modification, upon resuming our duties, to find tha,
il had been unaccountably lost. 1t would afford u.s.
and doubtless the District at large, much satisfaction
to hear from our Representative in detail upon this
important point

DELIVERED BEFORE THE TWO LITERARY SOCIETIES
OF FURnAs UNIVERSITY, by Hon. }. L. OnR.
WE have received copy Of this Address from some
one who styles himself "Edgefeld"-no doubt one of
several clever students in the Furman University.
" "Edgefeld" has our thanks for his attention. The
address quite able vindicaton Of the University
plan Of education. The speaker recommends an ad-
dition Of two other chairs, Of Law and of Medicine
the faculty Of Furman University The Institution
also defended with considerable eamestness against
the supposition Of nny sectarian influence in its
management. Altogether the effort is worthy of Col.
ORR's reputation.
We may add that an appropriation by the Legisla-
,are for the benefit Of this University is recommended
BY the orator. An annual appropriation Of eight thou
sand dollars is suggested with the provso that the
fund he expended entirely in sustaining the collegiate
department, and with the further condition that no
sectarian tenets shall be taught in that department..
