the San Yesterday morning:
''Rev A J Brown, President of the Lutheran College
Pa"
A gentleman of this city who travelled with the
Professor on his way North, has given us from his
lips the following account of the difficulty which
resulted in bis leaving the State of South Carolina
Dr. Brown is distinguished Lutheran minister,
whose wife is neice of a well known and highly
respected clergyman of this city. Some two years
since he accepted the position he has Just been
compelled to relinquish. 1t seems that for some
time past he, in common and usual with other
citizens, has been performing patrol duty, to which
be offered no opposition. Early last week, how
ever, itwas intimated to him that he might be
drafted into the South Carolina army, to serve
against the United States. To this he poStiveyob
ected declaring that he had ratherbe shot outright
than bear arms against his Government, and there
upon it was pretty distinctly hinted that he might
find his usual apparel replaced by coat of tar
and feathers custom of that description not COM
porting with bis ideas of comfort and propriety, he
promptly made up his mind to retire from State
where such an indignity, for such a cause, was
possible, and accordingly with his wife and five
children, Immediately left for his home in York,
Pa. His withdrawal was a cause of great regret to
his colleagues, and it is said that in Consequence of
this treatment of their respected teacher, all the
students from Georgia withdrew from the college,
first however, in body escorting DR.. Brown to
the station, to protect him from insult or Djlry.
