Rebellion at South Carolina College

\ mengre teegraphic despatch announced
the difficulty at this institution on the 18th
ult. We find in the Wilmington (N, c.
Commercial, a letter, gi7ing an account of the
disturbances above referred to. We extract
the following:
Last night, about 9 clock some of the
students were walking around the city. As
three of them were strolling down Richardson
street, one OF them yelled out the name Of the
Chief of Police, who, hearing noise in the
street, proceeded to the spot. One OF them
rretonGcd to be almost beastly drunk. The
officer commanded the peace, and he did
this, one of the students punched him in the
abdomen with his club; the policeman. think
ing he had been stabbed. Immediately struck
the student with his hludgeon, splitting his
skull dreadlully.
This being done, lie commanded his fell
low policemen to assist in conveying him to
the suurd-house As soon Al he was lodged
there the cry of college was raised 10y the
students, and in less than two minutes 100
students We're present, all armed with pistols,
bowie knives, swords, hatchets and clubs, and
rushed To the guard-house crying out OUT
After cutting ali the doors and windows into
fragments they rushed in upon the chief, each
student giving him wound with knife,
buigeon, or sword, and them threw him out
Of the second story window on to the brick
pavement The alarm bell was then ruug to
call the citizens together, but too late to he
OF any service to the police. This morning,
about 10 o clock, the alarm bell was again
ruug. Ga arriving at the guard house,
found the students and several of the citizens
going in lemons, with pistols, swords, and
bowie knives Several of the students were
carried to their various homes, drcadIully cut
and bruised
The military were called out and stationed
in the guard houses. 4 letter, written on
the 10Th, says
4" One of the students died this afternoon
and others are expected to die. Bedell, Chief
of Police, understand died tonight Three
Of the police have been murdered by these ruff
| fans since my arrival here On the "a the
students dispatched one Of their number to
/ Charleston Tor the purpose Of purchasing am
muuitlon, finding the citizens of this place
will not sell to them. They have also pro-
cured rifles from n neighboring town, under
false pretences, and were moulding bullets
last night and to-day. The Mayor having sc-
cured the key of their armory on Tuesday,
/ they sent IA mt ssengrr to him this morning,
stating that II he did not give up the key they
would break open the arnury. lie refused TO
do SO, and they broke it open and procured
the weapons therein. The following DAY tue
students surrendered, hut not until alter a
threat OF the Governor to fire upon them.

The Retreat of Sir George Provost.

For the following important letter, We are
indebted to a distinguished officer of high
rank in the L, 5, Army, himself an actor in
the scenes of the days referred to, and we'll
known in this State. 1t will be found interest
Ing to our readers generally and especially so
to all who have any personal recollections of
the battle of Plattsburgh, and its attendant
circumstances. The light which it throws
on the retreat of Sir George Provost, so mex
picable at the time, makes it worthy of par
ticular attention. Ofcourse the writing of
such a letter as is spoken of, and its being
put in the way of being intercepted by the
British army, must have been known to very
few indeed, for secrecy was essential to sue
cess and those most likely to know of it,
are long since dead Yet it is not impossible
that there are yet living some who remember
circumstances which bear on the credibiity
OF the statement Whoever knows anything
OF that sort ought to be at pains to make it
known, that truth may be upheld, and merit
receive its proper reward.

We learn that the Committee on Commerce
in the |. 5. Senate, have reported favorably
on the bill introduced by Senator Foote, ar-
propriating th'rty-s'r thousand dollars for the
continuation and completion of the Break
water in this harbor. Much credit is due
Mr. Foote for closely attending to aud
efficiently urging upon Congress the claims of
Vermont.
To has efforts we are mainly indebted for
the appropriations for the Custom House and
Marine Hospital, and we trust and believe
that he will be equally successful in
carrying through the appropriation for the
Breakwater, which is greatly needed.
lrpassed in a separate bill, it will undoubt-
eddy be signed by the President, for such ap-
prorriations have ever been sanctioned by
the most strict constructonists. The work
is a very important one and ought to be com
pletcd without delay.

not numerous in this part Of the country. if
any where. This remarkable thrift in Grand
Isle County, is not the result alone of the fer
tility Of the soil; it comes from thorough cul-
tivation and good farming. The same re-
suits can doubtless he reached in other
portions Of Vermont. If they have
been surpassed anywhere in our State, we
shall he glad to know it. We hope the
amount Of Wheat raised will be especially
noted. If our recollection serves, it throws
into the shade some Of the statements from
other parts Of the State, which have been OK
hihited in the country Genticmdn and other
papers, as well worthy of notice.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the mon
ey so earned is not spent at the grog shop.
