A letter in the Newark Mercury, from
Princeton College, says:
There has been, for the last three days,
an unusual excitement in the College at
Princeton. The demon of Secession has
disturbed the classic stream. Princeton,
five months ago, underwent au exparga-
ton, which we hoped would be complete.
One hundred valiant South erncrs ." left the
country for the country's good The pre-
sent session began some four weeks since;
the accession of students from the North
ern States was unusually large, and the
College, Notwithstanding the SeriOus loss
in numbers, began 81 new year with most
encouraging prospects. They were, how
ever hardly settled in the daily routine be-
fore it became Enthusiastically evident that
the cleansing of the previous session was
not By no means Il thorough one.
The returning MarYluuders, with few
honorable exceptions, we found to be de-
cided traitors, and we are sorry to say that
we had been obliged to rank in the same
disgracefuI category some OF our own fell
low Northerners The majority of them
maintained ii prudent silence: but few of
them soon became conspicuouSly obnoxious
because of their open and undisguised
sympathy with the South, and their hatred
OF the National Government. The indig-
nation and disgust, which, for some time.
had been brewing among their classmates
and fellow students towards them, upon
last Thursday eliminated in decided ac-
ton.
y party of twelve or fifteen visited the
rooms of two of them with the Intention
OF pumping" them. Their names are
Francis Dubois, Jr., of New York City,
aud Alexander Fullerton, Jr., of PhiIadel-
phia. Ore of these gentlemen, Mr.. Fuller
ton, managed to evade them, and took
refuge in the town, but the other WAS not
so fortunate, and was compelled to under
so 81 most thoroughly etfectual ducking
from the college pump.
On the following day the faculty discOv-
cred three of the parties engaged ami de-
cide,l TO suspend them from The institution.
This action of the authorities caused iu-
tense excitement among the students, and
u wholesale rebellion was seriously :tdrn-
Gated Uy quite At number On Saturday
morning the President gave notice To the
three detected Un9s that they must go tr
their homes until permitted by the faculty
to return TO their duties.
He was determined upon the subject and
there WAS no evading it. The names of
those who are suspended are Howard j.
Reeder a SON OF tx Governor Rceder, OF
Euston, Isaac X. Casey, of Harrisburg,
and Samuel b. Huey, of Philadelphia,
Previous t, their departure the members
of the college procured II large and elc-
CANT baroucne, and decorated 1t very taste
fully with American flags. 10 this they
attached IL long rope, and placing the ex-
lied three in the carriage, amidst the
cheers of the citizens, they drew them
through the village to the depot. SOme
two hundred st%d.nts held the rope, and
were preceded by music The march
/ through the town was almost AN ovation
At the depot an immense crowd of citi-
zens nnI students witnessed their dcpar-
lure The President says the matter shall
not end here, but promises that every one
engaged in the proceeding shall suffer
| Thus the matter stands.
