All the arrangements for working the cable
are confded exclusively to the assistants of

all their operations are conducted privately,
and they decline to give any information be

constantly passing through the cable from the
Telegraph Office here to the Telegraph office
at Valencia Bay, Ireland, all rumors repre-

To the repeated inquiries which were made
every hour through the day as to the condition
of the cable and the probabilities about the
reception of the Queens message, we are
unable to return any other answer than that
the cable remains all right-the electrical
signals passing through its whole length salts

cluded their arrangements for putting their re-
cording Instruments into operation.

The cause Of our not transmitting and re-
ceiving intelligence through, is that the instru-
ments require a great deal of care and adjust

as fast as it is possible. You should not look
upon the Cable as an ordinary short telegraph
line that can be worked through directly The
Gable has been successfully laid and telegraph
c signals are passed through it at our pleasure

which it requires time and many experiments
to entirely overcome, but we see no reason

seen private despatch from reliable gentle
mas at st. Johns, who is in position to
obtain the earliest and most correct unofficial
intelligence concerning the cable, which states
that the instruments at Trinity Bay record
with good degree of success the communica.
tions from tho electricians at the Valentia
Office, but that owing to some as yet unex-
planned cause, it has been impossible to send
that or any other intelligence to the opera tors
at Valentia. This is a state of things which
often occurs upOn the land lines, ie, one office
can receive correctly from distant operator
and yet be unable to send word in return :
and the difficulty, sooner or latter, is found to
| be in the battery, its connections, or the in
strumentS, and there is no reason to doubt
that the present difficulty in working the cable
will, as soon as the electricians can compare
notes, be entirely overcome. Rep.

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL /, 1853.

nasn We are very DESTROYS to give particular
attention to the local department Of our paper;
and to this end, we would ask our friends in the
various portions of the District, Postmasters and
others, to give us reliable accounts of whatever
matters of general interest. that may transpire in
their respective localities. Notices of Marriages
and Deaths will be promptly inserted, when &C
companied by a responsible name. Announce
ments of religious and temperance meetings will
be inserted with pleasure, and without charge.
Our friends, Cl~ergymen, Postmasters and 9th
ers, can, and we trust will, aid us materially in
contributing interesting items, of this nature to
our columns.
~ In order to encourage the efforts OF oil
who are favorable to our enterprise, we propose
to send copy of the ESerIRER, grst's' to any one
making up a club of ten subscribers and sending
SIS, in advance. To clubs Of six, the paner will
be sent for $40 so, with an extra copyto theperson
making the club.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE.

We regret to state that, on yesterday, the Fac
ulty found it necessary to suspend nlnety.seven
students of the South Carolina College until the
first of October next, and five until the first OF
May. We understand the ostensiblc cause of the
difficulty was the refusal of the Faculty to allow
q suspension Of College exercises, ON Thanksglv-
ing day under municipal recommendations. 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 Freshman Classes, with
few exceptions, obeyed the order-the Seniors and
Sophomores mostly declined doing so. When CAL
led before the Faculty, with much unanimity they
declined responding to questions. The act Of dis
ciplinc which followed was necessary to uphold
the essential authority Of the government, in which
the Faculty WAS unanimous. -Carolnhan.
We feel disposed to make no comment upon the
unwelcome intelligence conveyed in the foregoing
para graph. Indeed, We know not what to say
BY some singular mismanagcment on the part Of
the rulers, aggravated by spirit of wild and reck-
less INSTRUMENTATION on the part of the young men
under their charge, it would seem that both of our
public institutions, nourished and fostered by the
State. are verging upon utter disorganization. We
do not understand such strange phenomena. Who
are at fault? Will not some one, favored with nm
insight into the causes of things, e~nlighten a tax
paying public?

FIRE

Saturday last, in the forenoon, the kitchen at
tached to the s'Barracks'' of the Kings Mountain
Military School, caught fire from a stovc-pipe
and was entirely consumed-together with q large
quantity of provisions. The manly efforts of the
Cadets, aided as soon as possible by our citizens
were sufficient to save the surrounding buildings
though for time in imminent danger. Thelo los:
will probably amount to fifteen hundred dollars
Messrs. COWARD & JENKINS have the hearty
sympathy of our cwn people; and the very many
friends of their school will learn Of this severe
loss with equal regret.
Anew building will be erected at an early day
and, meantime, the necessary arrangements have
been made to continue, as usual, the duties OF the
school.

THAT

The reader cannot avoid regarding attentive
" the attractive advertisement which MILES JOHN
son spreads out in this week issue. We have
seen his " machine" in operation, and safely set
il down as one of the rarest productions OF this
productive agc. The patent halls from Tennessee,
carrying with it the name of Mccormick; and is
all the better for this, in the estimation of n
Southern community.
Putting the cogs in operation, our friend MILES
slu9s about sixty collars in a day, thereby getting
ahead of the one-horse method of old by at least
50 collars per dttm of course, he can afford them
Mt n cheaper rate; and, besides, invariably makes
them in n more durable and rarrdataLf style.
We assure our public that, although they are
themselves sometimes stuffed by new inventions,
this affair of Miles JouSsoS's is adapted to the
stu6iing of cslars exclusively!

April. We make the announcement in advance,
so that our Divisions may have ample time to ef-
feet arrangements for o full representation. It's
important that each Division have its delegate in
attendance upon those meetings and surely our
people have the good cause at heart sufficiently to
afford at least one leader, quarterly. 1t will never
do, when the hand holds the pillow, to look back.
The work must 60 on, bravely.
We are informed that a daily train on the Che
raw and Darlington Railroad, leaves Florence
about 10 o'clock, p. m. and on Wednesdays and
Saturdays an accommodation train leaves the same
point, at 10 o'clock, q. m. Passengers leaving
Yorkville in the morning, will reach Cheraw on
the night of the same day, at - o'clock.

tend. Send us the names for publication.

CHANGE

We are glad to learn that the long continued eff.
forts of Mr.. JOHNSON, the accomplished President
Of the Charlotte and s. C. Railroad, have effected
q change of schedule so rs to make the evening
train on the upper route the same Us that of the
route ria. Wilmington. Since the completion Of
the Central road, this measure has been very de.
sirable-indeed, indispensable to the permanent
success of the railroad enterprise in our section.
The Winnsboro' Register, of Saturday, contains
the following paragraph:
We learn that the energetic President and ST.
perintendant of the Charlotte & s. c. Railroad
have at last succeeded in making such arrange
ments with the President of the North Carolina
Central Road that passengers on the Northern
Route can be carried over this route at the same
time as over the Wilmington & Manchester Road.
We have no doubt that this will become the great
rhoroughfare for travel, and, in all probability the
mail will soon follow the travel. For beauty OF
scenery it furnishes infinitely greateri Inducements
10 travellers. The Central Road of North Caro-
lima is in q first rate condition and the Charlotte
road has also n good track which is being every
day improved and will, ut not n remote period,
have heavy iron along its whole length, there be-
/ DC now some thirty miles of it. The route too
is q very healthy one, passing through m undula
ting country and entirely free from swamps and
poisonous miasmas. Under the new schedule,
which will 90 into effect some time in the early
part of next month. the morning train from
Columbia will reach Winnsboro about Q o'clock,
and the evening train about the same hour T. NJ.
