Recently have visited many parts Of the County,
have seen and conversed with many Of the Oldest,
most skifu, energetic, and perseycrns farmers, all
of whom unanimously agree that the present crop Of
corn and cotton at this Of the year, far exce'

An exchange says: The composing room of q

"a printing Office is like school; 1t can have no

GUS inconvenience, to soy nothing Of loss Of time,
which just good gold to the printer as though

No gentleman will ever enter it and presume to net

withdraw it from appearing among the list Of cand-

PRorEssoR BARSwELL DECLINES THE PRESI-
DHxcY OF WILLIAM AND MARY.-By o letter just
received, we learn that the Rev. Robert W.
Barnwcll, of South Carolina, lately elected to
the Presidency of William and Mary College,
has written to Ex.Pr:sident Tyler, the Rector OF
the College, declining the appointment which
has been rendered him. This is much to be re-
grctted. The privilege Of Mr.. Barnwells init
mate acquaintance and friendship, which we
have enjoyed for several years, enables US to
bear full testimony to the loss of anticipated
usefulness which must result to our venerable
Alma Mater. The varied scholarship and high
intelligence, the inspiring eloquence and extraor'
dinary force of moral character, combined with
all tho energy and enthusiasm of early manhood,
render Prof. Barnwel the mau above all others
for the position of chief administrative officer
in collegiate institution.
Mr. Barnwell declines, with much regret, the
position offered him. His position at Columbia,
s. c., affords him every opportunity which lie
desires for the elevation Of the standard Of
scholarship in his native State, and he feels un.
willing to relinquish task which he has lately
assumed, and still regards as iucomplete.-Rich'
