The retirement of General James Jones
from his position as Chairman o. the Board
of Visitors CT the Military Academy of South
Oarolina, is an event, WHICH at,ahy other
time than. the present, would have eiicited
one universal expression ef regret from the
country and the press. Only to the snxie-
ties of the hour can the comparative silence
with which. his RESIGNATION has been received,
be attributed; for among the many in this
interested in the cause of educa
ton, there is doubtless not one who has u'.t
heard with profound concern that. General
Jones has Withdrawn from that small but
impertantbody, over which lie ebas so loug and
80 ably presided. identified as heis with
the admirable Institution in question -enti-
tied, perhaps, more than any one else, to BIZ
regarded as its foundcr-gray with more than
twenty years of services devoted to the pro-
motion in every possible way Of its interests
-it is very generally felt that in parting
with him, that institution sustains q loss
which, without tho greatest difficulty, will
not soon be supplied. That feeling Of pa
ternity which he had q right to cherish to-
wards the school which he had created and
fos.ered, and which helped to make him at
once so tender and so wise in the careswkich
he elayiahed upon 1t, cansot be shared by any
successor, and, therefore, We do NO wrong 10
the gentleman who shall hereafter occupy
his place, if We SAY that however ably they
may discharge the duties of the office in their
turn, there will always he reason to regret
that General Jones could not have been in
,iuced to relain that Office AZ one "a which he
vas entitled for lifc.-South Carolinian.

Public Meeting in Richmond.

In pursuance of call of Gov. Smith aR
immense public meeting wss held at The Afri
can Church.
A series Of patriotic resolutions were adopt
ed, the last Of which reads as follows;
Resolved, That in this presence and in
face Of the world, rcverently invoking there
to the aid of Almighty God, we roncv our
resolve to maintain our liberties and Our In
dependence, and to this end 1--WE mutually
pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sa-
cred honors."
President Davis addressed the meeting for
the space of thirty minutes. He said thathe
was roieiccd to witness this demonstration,
and expressed his belief that If the people
would give their hearty and unanimous re-
sponse to the demand Of tho exigency, the
enemy would next ask for confareup. in
,-hich to make known oar demands. His life
was bound up in the CopederacY. Under nc
circumstances would he be the agent of q
reconstruction of the Unions The Psesideni
was frequently interrupted with enthusiastic
cheering. Several other addresses were dc.
