the Faculty found i, necessary to suspend nine
seven students Of the South Carolina College
until the first OF October next, and five until th..

cause OF difficulty the refusal of the Faculty
t" allow a suspension of College exercises, on
Thanksgiving day under municipal rccommcn-
dation Upon tho professors going to Chapel
and recitation, OH Thursday morning, the bench
es were found tarred. whcrcuppn the order was
given by the professors to tho classes to attend ~

man Glasses, with few exceptions, obcveL the
oracr-thc Seniors and Sophonorcs mostly de-
clincd doing SO. When called before the Faculty,
with much unanimity they declined responding
to questions The act Of discipline which fol-
lowed was necessary to uphold the essential nu
thority Of the government, in which the Faculty
was Unanimous.

JOB WORK-THE CASH SYSTEM

Experience has convinced us that we should,
in every case, require Casl, for all job Work
done at our Office We will therefore adopt the
Cash System, in future, 80 far this branch of our
business is concerned We are induced to adopt
this rule from the fact that all expenses necessary
for the execution of such work, have to be paid
by us in Cash. with the exception of such ar
ticles us we can buy from our own merchants.
Journeymen, Paper, lux, Type, &c. require
Cash to procure them. So those who know them
selves indebted to this Office for job Work, will
please "cal round at the Captains office and
settle"

pronounced the most striking phenomenon of The

WHAT HE THINKS OF 1T.

Col. IT, FrLLIn, who, for many years was Ed
itor OF the New York Mirror, has been travelling
for three months in the South, in company with
Dr. CHARLES MAcKAy, Of London has written n
letter to The New Orleans Picoyunc, l., which he
states his convictions in reference to slavery:
"'rhns far in my rambling notes have not
touched upon the peculiar institution and tick
lish suhjec, of slavery. But can no longer re.
fraln from expressing the opinion have long en-.

so but the sable fisherman suspected no difficulty

good relish, and sambo held the line with firm
grasp. The powerful fish, however, drew him
gradually out in deep water, when, finding that
he was in danger of being carried out to sea, in
order to cut tho line he had, made desperate
grasp al his knife, which was fastened to his
head. half shut, portion of his hair being be
