The University.

We are under obligations to Ex-Governor Swain
for a copy of the catalogue of the University of
North Carolina, for the years 1864 1886. We
learn from it that the number of graduates since
the beginning of the war, is as follows In 1861,
So 1862, "a 1863, S 1864, 7; and 1863, l.
There has been since the foundation Of this Ven
cradle Institution 100 graduates. The faculty
now consists of twelve Professors and Tutors
There are present sixty five under graduates to
wit: Seniors, ) Juniors 8; Sophomoles, ;3
Freshmen 90. There are also twelve law and
eleven partial course students, making total of
lightweight.
We notice that five of the students are from this
city, to wit Sophomore Glass, Geo. A. Thomas,
and w. A. Wright, il; Freshman Glass, Thomas
c.. DeRosset, John McIlhenny and Platt d. Wal
ker.
If there is one effect more deplorable than the
others, resulting to country from tho late war;
is that so many of young men of the present
generation will be compelled to grow up without
the advantages of liberal education. How much
it behooyes those few who are more fortunate, to
labor zealousy and increasingly, to be able to
meet in the FUTURE Tie additional responsibilities

loss
We have often heard complaint made that our
people do not receive the officers in charge of the
Southern departments with that courtesy and cl-
Witty which is due them personally, OF officially.
This can hardly be wondered at when we have so
many instances of the hostile feelings which actu-
ates these and their very great want OF ppre-
citation of us. Certainly Mr.. Beadle must have
felt complimented that ignorant, prejudlced,
embittered and disloyal community did not invite
him to their family circles
But in all candor, are men actuated by the feel
ings of hostility to the government and to us, ex-
hibited in the letter publish below, calculated
to re-estabish the popularity of the government,
to render assistance to the President in his Hercu-
lean task, or to benefit the negro and make him
the contented and harmonious laborer and good
citizen which should be and doubtless was the OBJ
ject of the establishment of the Bureau On the
contrary we regard such men as incendiaries who
poison the Northern mind and corrupt class III

and in whose moral and social welfare we are
greatly interested. We sincerely hope are rid

times unmanag eable, and would run away. He
was to pass through 4 timbered country, and on
account of snow-drifts the road was almost impas-
sable, and from this fact the horse succeeded in
throwing the minister from the cutter. From ap-
pearanceS Mr.. Miller was thrown with great force
upon large oak stump that filled with short
knots One of these Knots came in contact with
and severed the juguar vein.
When found, life almost extinct from the
loss of blood. He was taken to the nearest house
and medical aid at once procured but he only
lived Il short time. The cutter was found some
distance from where the accident occurred, and
the horse detached from it. But the most singular

Another Lesson of Congressional Morals.

Having given two lessons from the Senate, OF
the exalted and honorable state of morality exist
ing in that body, we have thought lesson or two
from the House of Representatives might amuse,
if not benefit our people.
The Senate having, by partizan vote elected Nh.
Stockton, it was necessary to elect, Immediately,
Radical in his place in order to vote against the
veto of the President, for it might be, without
the assistance of this vote, the measure could not
be carried by the required majority.
Immediately upon the announcement of the re-
suit in tho Stockton case, Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens,
Chairman of the committee of fifteen, the Recon-
struction Committee, so-called sends the following
letter to Mr. Scovel, President of the New Jersey
Senate
WAsH1SaroS, March % 1856.
Hon. James " ScureL, Sc, DC:
DEAF SIR By all means hurry up your elecll Give
THADDEJS STEVENS.
We see here the spirit which controls the House
of Representatives From the position held by
Mr. Stevens he should, at least, not seek TO con
troll the action of State Legislature, but as
Chairman of the important committee OF recon-
struction should labor faithfully and honestly up
on his legitimate Duties for few men ever had
so great response blity upon their shoulders and
he will have to answer to future generations for
it's proper performance.
But we fear that the reconstruction of the
Government the return Of confidence and fra
ternal feeling between the sections and the
prosperity and glory Of the country, are
matters of secondary importance with the don1i-
nant party. ELECT, says Mr. Stevens, "a radical
like yourself, or nothing But Mr.. Scovel proudly
spits upon the appeal made to him by the partisan
and insinuatng proposition The state of politi
cal morals have higher standard in Trenton than
in Washington. Mr.. Stevens had better attend to
the duties of Representative from Pennsylvania
than interfering with sentorial elections. Honor
and truth have been already sufficiently outraged
in this New Jersey election case, and for the
credit of common country, We truly hope with
this last exhibition, it is at end.
