TIE SOUTH CAROLINA CoLLEGE.-The Coum-
bin South Carolinian, of the 9th inst, says,
"We regret to state that, on yesterday, the
Faculty found it necessary to suspend ninety
seven students of the South Carolns College un.
til the first of October next, and five until the
first of May. We understand the ostensble
cause of difficulty was the refusal of the Faculty
to allow a suspension of college exercises on
Thanksgiving day under municipal reconmen.
dstion: Upon the professors going to chapel and
recitation on Thursday morning, the benches
were found tarred, whereupon the order was given
by the professors to the classes to attend at their
private Offices to recite. The junior and fresh
man classes, with few exceptions, obeyed the Or
der-the seniors and sophomores mostly declined
doing so When called before the Faculty, with
much unanimity they declined responding to
questions. The act Of discipline which followed
was necessary to uphold the essential authority
of the government, in which the Faculty was
unanimous"

Where Shall They Coz

The Charlottesville JefersOnian, referring to the
opposition of the members Of Congress from Bal
timore, to the Lecompton Constitution, says =
.sAs Baltimore chooses to side with the Black he
publicans, every Southern merchant should pass
by that city, and hereafter purchase not dime
worth of goods OF her merchants" We should
be pleased for our contemporary to designate IN
what particular city Southern merchants should
purchase their goods. In Philadelphia! See
the Resolutions recently adopted by the Dem
ocrats of that city, denouucing the Lecomp-
ton Constitution as an unparalleled fraud. -

Virginia Artists.

A bill authorizing the Governor to contract
with the sculptor Barbee for marble statue OF
President Madison, is pending in the Legislature
and we hope it will be passed. Mr.. Bsrbee i'

Let our own artists be encouraged, and the vir-

with Gait, another distinguished Virginia sculp-

University; aud Hart, kentuckian we believe,
is executing for the ladies a statue Of Henry
Clay, which will be erected at Richmond, Ina
short time we will have more elegant works OF
this kind than any State in the Union.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE AT LoNDoN.-The
English papers received by tlestean:sr Indian are
filed with accounts OF the marriage OF the Prin-
cess ROYAL with Prince Frederick William OF
Prussia which took place in the Chapel Royal
Of ST. James Palace on Monday morning, Jan
uary 25ih London was filled with royal gness
chiefly from the German courts. Among them
were the King of the Begians, the Duke and
Du chess of Brabant, the Prince aud Princess OF
Prussia parents OF the bridegroom the Duke
and Duchess of Sake C"burg, the Count OF
| Flanders, and many Others.
| The ceremony OF marriage was performed by
the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the
Bishops of London, Oxford and Chester, the
| Dean of Windsor and the Sub-Dean of the Chap
Il yal.
There were three professions, the Queens, thu
Bridegroom's and the Brides. The latter Was
supported by her father The ceremonies were
of the most imposing character. Before the
service. a choral, written Tor the occasion, was
sung by the boys of ST. PaufS and Westminster
Abbey cloirs. At the conclusion, Handlers
Haleluith Chorus was sung. As the procession
of the Bride and Bridegroom lett the Chapel,
Mendelssohn's Wedding March was played.
There were Examinations and various iesiiyi-

Coz. Mise,s Letter.

The second letter of Gov. Wise on the LIE
compton Constitution, is attracting the atten'
tion throughout the country which its views
and the prominent position of the writer enuue
il TO. We regret that the Governor did moi
take time to condense his arguments WITHIN
some reasonable limits, so that the country press
copld publish his letter in full. The excellent
summary, however, which We publish IN anoth'
er column will serve to crafty the curiosity oi
most of our readers.
We confess to some admiration for Governor
Wise's courage in taking so bold stand against
tbe almost unanimous sentiments of the leaders
of his party in Virginia But one Democratic
paper in the State suStains his position, ana
many of them are denouncing him in round
terms. The Washington Union sneers at him
for assuming ''the patroniziug relation OF a War
wick the King-makerN to the Administrator,
and saws, as tine Democratic party establish
ed the Kansas Nebraska measure without his
assistance. 'it must not be expected that the
same party and its administration will give much
heed or consequence to his present views =
How are the mighty fallen! A few short
months ago Mr.. Wise was the Presidents right
hand mantle Saladin of the National Democ-
racy in every fierce contest with the lnhdel
Know Nothings or Black Republicans; now he
is literally drummed ont of camp as traitor to
the cause. The Governor stands alone; but II
we are to believe his own declarations he Is
perfectly contented with his position. Indeed
bs seems to be one of those salamander'like
men who arc most at home with the flames OF
popular excitement raging around them. The
fire which would speedily consume other men Is

T.eromnion in Congress.

Recent votes in the United States Senate show
that decided majority of the members sustain
the policy OF the Administration in regard TO
Kansas. Mr.. Wilson's resolution, proposing to
send for persons and papers and examine into
all the facts connected with the adoption OF the
Lecompton Constitution, was rejected by ma
iority of six votes, and the reference to the Oom-
mittee on Territories prevailed. This was con-
sidered test vote. All the Southern Senators
present, including Messys Bell, Crittenden, hous-
ton and Kennedy, voted in the affirmative On
Tuesday, the 9th, tue Senate, by vote OF 20
yeas 10 80 NAYS, refused TO take up Mr.. Doug
las resolution calling for returns OF elections
held in Kansas. On Wednesday, Mr.. Douglas
pertinaciously insisted that his resolution should
be considered Immediately and was treated quite
testify BY Messrs. Davis aud Mason. The Little
Giant Sired up" but the Senate sustained Mr..
Davis objection and again refused to take up
the resolution.
In the House of Representatives the resoIu-
ton of Mr. Harris, ofIllinois, referring the Presl-
dents Kansas Message to select committee was
adopted. The resolution instructs the commit
tee to ''report all the facts connected with the
formation of the Kansas Constitution aud the
laws under which the same was originated, and
into all such facts and proceedings as have trans
pired since the formation of said constitution
having relation to the question OF the proprlety
of the admission of said Territory into the In
ion under said constitution, and whether the
same is acceptable and satisfactory to majority
of the legal voters of Kansas and that said COM
mittee have power to send for persons and pa
pers"
Thus the Administration has carried its point,
on the reference to the Kansas Message, in the
Senate whilst the opposition have triumphed In
the House. The House proceeding, says the
Baltimore American, Will necessitate an inyestl-
CATION which may consume weeks, whilst the
Territorial Committee of the Senate will pro0a'
bly, promptly report the Lecompton Constitution
back with accommodation in its favor. II
NAV then be hurried through the Senate and
sent to the House for concurrence, and the final
struggle thus precipitated.
On Thursday, the Speaker announced the
Special Committee on the Presidents Kansas
Message, created under the resolution of Mr..
Harris, of Illinois. 1t is comprised as follows
Harris, of Illinois, anti-Lecompton DEM; Ste
