SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURE
COLLEGE.

iIessrs. Ed;tors:-In furnishing the re-
port which was received by the State Agri-
cultural Society, and ordered to be printed
for information at their late meeting, a word
by way of explanation may be proper.
At our annual meeting in 1856, a resolu-
ton was adopted by the State society, ap-
pointing seven as committee to report as
to the best means of promoting agricultural
education in South Carolina. The follow
ing report is the result of that appointment.
As | was the first to submit plan for an
Agricultural College in our State, think
it proper to take this occasion to say, that it
has been my design from the commence
ment to let the existing literary institutions
of our State, stand upon heir own merits
and to keep the proposed Agricultural Col
legc separate, and distinct from all other
institutions of learning, and let the propos-
ed college stand or fall upon its own claims
to public favor Nor is it my wish to con-
meet it in any way with the State Agricul-
tural Society.
In asking the appreciation of the men,
bers of our State Society to the plan Of an
Agricultural College, it was my sole object
to secure the moral influence which the ap-
probation of that Society might be justly
considered to give to the undertaking.

Your committee appointed at the last an
nual meeting of this Society to report as to
the best means of promoting the cause Of
Agricultural Education in South Carolina,
submit the following
REPORT.
That in appointing your committee as to
the best means of promoting Agricultural
Education in this State, the Society admits
that Agricultural Education is right and
propcr, and desirable This lessons the
labor of your committee, and we come d.
rectly to the question, how can this object,
be most certainly accomplished? We be-
lieve the sure and short way to accomplish
the desired object is to establish an Agricul'
tural College.
In adopting this course we only follow in
the footsteps of the most enlightened COM
munities-not only in this country but in
Europe. There are in Europe at this time
three hundred and ffty-tWo universities,

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

A daring robbery was committed about three o.
clock Yesterday afternoon, on the Military road,
some three miles beyond Marion, Ark, and about
twelve miles from Memphis, on the person of Mr..
Alfred Carter, respectable Mississippi farmer
Mr.. Carter was his return from Arkansas to Mis-
sissippi ard at the time and place indicated, was
riding along very slowly, when three me sPrang
into the road seized his horse, presented guns and
demanded his money. The faces of the men were
covered with cloths, hanging down to their waists,
having holes cut for their eyes. Two were armed
with double barrel guns and the other with rifle
and pistol Being taken completely by surprise,
and having no means of resistance MIR. Carter was,
perforce compeedt to "stand and deliver" especial
iy as be was told that the he did the bet
ter, and if he did not he was a dead man. They
took from him S38-S22 of which was in silver
halves one So United States gold piece, and two five
dollar bills. They gave him back one dollar. They
also took from him several notes Of hand-one from
P b. Baugh to A. Carter, for 500, due in January
next; two notes TO Clark & Caldwell, of Pamela,
Miss one by John E. Carter and R. G. Carter, liv'
ing in Arkansas, amount not recollected; and one
on c. W. Myri3 TO DR.. Sam Martin.
The robbery was committed in broad day light
in sight Of Harris cabins, a straight stretch OF
public road. On arriving at Marion, Mr.. Carter
related the circumstance, and several men started
in pursuit of the robbers, but they could not be
traced. Mr.. Carter says that one Of his sssalanti
was small, spare-made man, the second low
heavy built man, and the other large and rather
above the medium height He thinks he couldidenti-

INFLUENCE OF TEMPER ON HEALTH. - Excessive
labor exposure to wet and cold deprivation of suf
icient quantities of necessary and wholesome food,
habitual bad lodging, slOth and intemperanoe, are
all deadly enemies to human life; but none of them
are so bad as violent and ungovernable passions.
Men and women have survived all these, and at last
reached an extreme old age; but it may be safely
doubted whether q single instance can be found of
man of violent and irrsscible temper, habitually
subject to storms of ungovernable passion, who has
arrived at very advanced period OF life 1t Is,
therefore, matter of the highest Importance to
every one DESTROYS to preserve q sound mind in a
sound body, so that the brittle vessel of life may
glide down the of time smoothly and secure
IT, instead of being continually tossed about amidst
rock and shoals which endanger its existence, to
have special care, amidst all the vicisstudes and
trials of lfe to maintain a quiet possession of his
own shirt.

IMPORTANT.

We fully coincide in the spirit of the following,
which we take from she Cleveland PLAIN Dealer :
The telegraph last night electrified this whole
Western World with the important announcement
that there hal been prayer meeting in Providence
that morning in missionary meeting, lasting from
eight to nine o'clock. We expect the next dispatch
will inform US that Professor Salyman has sneezed
three times without compromising his dignity.
This telegraph is a humbug There are fools at
both ends of the line fools who send such foolish
dispatches and fools who pay for them. The West
ern Press should send on East reporter of sense,
Wegtern sense, and stop this New England hummery
that is constantly coming over the lines tinctured
with the politics, fanatcism and fatulency of that
ranting region, which we are obliged not only to
read but to pay for. The time is coming when we
shall change ends with that telegraph. There is
more intelligence and wealth in the West, and
more news stirring, too than on the Atlantic coast.
There is little left there but broken down bankers
stock obbers political preachers, high steeples,
and Missionary prayer meetings stale matter with

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. IL.
Ksssrs. Editors: My attention has just been called
to the following, which appeared in the Columbus
(Ga.) Sun of the LIST inst:
''Col W. A. Choice, of Atlanta was in ChattanOo-
ga few days since, recruiting for the Nicaraguan
service Twenty five dollars per month and two
hundred and fifty of land offered for able
bodied men. Col. Choice was commissioned by Gen.
Walker when he passed through Atlanta a short
time since"
Permit me, sirs, to say that there are two errors
in the foregoing statement, which l desire to COR
rect
lst. Ihave received no commission as Colonel or
other military commission from Genl. Walker, in
the Nicarsguan service. And
ID. l am not, and have not been recruiting troops
for that service. All the interest that have taken
in Nicsraguan affairs is simply this: Intending to
emigrate, myself, TO Nicaragua, have been, and
am only engaged, in raising an emigrating party,
upon conditions which l have taken care shall be
fully understood by all whom have engaged, or shall
engage, to accompany me. W. A. CHOICE.

The DEATH OF SENATOR RUsK.--A gentleman
just from Texas has communicated TO US facts bear
ing the recent melancholy death of Senator Rusk
which throw more light on that event than all else
concerning it we had previously learned 1t seems
that he was suffering at the time most grievOusly
from carbuncle on the back of his neck, which for
sixty days had bafied the skill of his physician and
babe fair unless arrested IN, to terminate in his
death. He had been suffering intensely from it on
the day he committed the fatal act, and it was be-
eved by those surrounding him that the agOnies of
the disease added to his beiefthat it would deprive
him of life in less than thirty days, had much to do
in bringing about his resolution to make away with
himself NakhinafOn Star.

APPARENT LOss.-ULTIMATE BENEFIT.

1.-THE country is at this moment two hundred mil
lions poorer than it was two months ago., says the
Utica Herald "by the decrese of railway values !"
In one view of the case this is true, and in another
it is not Last year the value ofrailway investments
decreased from one thousand millions nine humid
red millions and this year say) from nine hundred
millions TO seven hundred millions. The tendency
from fictitious to a real value was inevitable. 1t
was not in the power Of financial managers 10 resist
it, The Ohio Trust Comsny used its immense capt.
tai and credit to resist it, and as natural conse-
auence it snapped under the strain. No brakes
which two or twenty millions could put on to the
downward movement of railway stocks could even
tuslly keep them from descending as investments,
because though infinitely advantageous TO the land
holders on each side and worth to the country all
and double what they have COST it in the nature
Of things impossible that they should at once do
more than pay their working expenses and prevent
their floating debts from carrying them away Rail-
vsv stocks were bound to fall then, and all the eff
forts of Trust companies and other brakes could on
ly result in swapping connections that might nave
made the fall more gentle and less ruinous.
The time is at hand when railroads will be operat
ed on bushes principles; the experimental era mas
well nigh passed. The original stockholders IN
large portion of the railroads have lost all or near
" their investment. They paid more for the pro-
perty than it was worth. The same property Is
passing into the hands of others at its real value
and they, prohting by the mismansgement Of theil
predecessors will doubtless so manage the roads al
to make them more beneficial to the great interests
of the county, at the same time that they yield 6
profit TO their owners.

To MANAGE A REARING HoRsE.-In the Brit
ish SpOrtman" we find the following Limits respect
ing the management of rearing horse which strikes
us as being worthy, as it is easy, of trial.
Whenever you perceive horses inclination to
rear, separate your reins and prepare for him The
instant he is about to rise, slacken one hand, and
bend or twist his head with the other keeping your
hands low This bending cOmpels him to move a
hind leg, and of necessity brings his forefeet down.
Instantly twist him completely round two three
times which will confuse him very much, and COM
pletely throw him off his guard The moment you
have finished twisting him round, place his head in
the direction you wish to proceed, apply the spurs
and he will not fail to go forward If the situation
be convenient press him into gaop, and apply the
spurs and whip two or three times severely. The
horse will not perhaps. be quite satisfied with the
first defeat but may feel disposed to try again for
the mastery. Should this be the case, you have on
ly TO twist him. etc., before, and will find that in
the second struggle he will be easily subdued
than on the former occasion; in fact, you will
him quail under the operation. 1t rarely happens
that rearing horse, after having been treated in
the way described will resort to this trick third
time.
