LOST THE COURSE OF THE PACK.

Having been absent for several weeks we are llt-
tie behind in tho chnso of our State cotemporsrics
after matter of discussion From what can as yot
discover however it appears that they have been cir
cling orer the samo old ground Kansas on one side
and tho College on the other. But these points OF
attack and defence seom likely now to be taken away
from us Tho Mercury announces that all's right in
Kansas, and Mr. BucAArAN's late letter very clearly
shows that .lls right upon the subject about the
White House; 10, that matter ny be su&ered to rest
for uhilo. Az to the College question, tho board
have acted have reingtted the old professors and go
far as ws hoar, given very general satisfaction and
the students will all 70 back, and, we trust lay hold
of their privileges with aydy. And 80 this business
also is laid upon the shelf.
Tho question of tho Senatorial succeo'orship is STILL
of course, an open one. But there s very little enid
about it. The people will no doubt so arrange the
matter, that the State shall be represented by some
ono of her best and ablsst statesmen. We trust this
mny bt done quietly, not only without dscord but
also without heat or excitement Such seems to be
tho course of the question now unless We are entirely
mistaken in tho indications So let it continue, until
the Legislature shall have made q choice.
Some heated discussion has sprung upin Charleston
involving tho privileges and duties Of the Press The
Adrertiser has spoken promptly to that question, and
VIC huvo no disposition to modify the views it has e2
pressed.
But we reserve more extended remarks upon these
and several other matters until catch up with
our brethren and have time to cool of.

The Board of Trustees adjourned on thurs.
dsy night, after long session. The AFFAIRS OF
the College and the previous action OF the Board
were thoroughly discussed, many members De-
ing present who were not at the former meeting.
TIE result is 'tha, the old Faculty proper has
heen reinstated-the late President being alone
omitted in the rcorganization-thu giving
fnll vindication to the former in the difficulties
which have occurred. Some changes have been
made in the occupancy of the chairs which re-
NAMED to be flled-thc following being the
present arrangement of them:
Prot. NJ. LaBordc, Metaphysics, Logic and
Physiology.
Prof. C. p. Pelham, History ard Political
Philosophy. ,r
Prot. R. W. Barnwell, Jr., Sacred Literature,
and the Chaplaincy. -.
The professional duties of the President OF
teaching Astronomy and Trigonometry have
been assigned to the Prots. Lcconte, who teach
Algebra, Mechanical Philosophy, &c.
We have not heretofore expressed any opinlon
as to the merits of the questions involved IN the
late issues, but being cognizant OF them IN ther
whole course, we cannot but express our conVlc,
ton that the Board has acted judiciousy and
with proper regard for justice i'll tho course 1t
has parsued. GU -,
We trust that the friends of the College will
concentrate ell their influence in support Of the
institution, and that it will soon lie restored 10
its former prosperity. The Board has, we think,
very properly postponed action in relation to
the Presidency until December, when we hope q
selection will bo made which will secure the
public confidence Until then the Faculty Is
authorized to select q chairman to act as Presi'
dent.
The exercises of the College will be resumed
on the first Monday in October.

when London was suffering from homeopathic
like that which now prevails in the American
cities, when every man that met another had
anxious inquiries to make as in time OF pestl-

hope of relief, Lord John Russell, who was then
Premier, went to the Bank OF England. he said
10 those in authority that it was the business of
the Bank 10 prevent and to cure panics, not to
promote them, and that whatever course they
might pursue for the public relief, they might
rely upon the support OF the Government. His
confident tone re.assured them; they changed
their policy at once; the Bank became liberal,

IN it to Mr. GRAY and get bis own, which af-,
trwards heard he did.

Sax Horn; or, us if pianist had played with the

by the writer to be rendered in connection with his
bass accorls In short, it was simply laughabU and
ridiculous And yet this kind Of performance has
been carrying away crowded houses in Gotham. Or

conductors aro accommodating and clover. (MEREDITH
and CREWS especially have no superiors in their de-

the bost workmanship. Tho engineers are sober and
faithful, which il best proved by the regularity Of
their trips and the very limited number Of accidents
which occur On the Road And, lastly, the attention
of the sewardesses, in supplying cewacr and reiec-
tons is always such gratites the wayworn travel

scarcely any uf the roads further North And where
it is attempted, we have found it but poorly executed

as they can But upon the S. c. Road, the supply OF
ice is always unailins and the sewardcss prompt to

Of attention highly commcudable; for, of all things
