had this hog-hyena done contrary to his
instincts, that We should so berate him

Mumford. That was true Yankee conr-

the ladies of New Orleans. That, was

banished from the city more than twenty
thousand people who had refused to per-
lure themselves by taking the oath oi
allegiance to the United States. That
was the idea of Yankee justice. gns
He drove these people off without a
change of clothing and with only $50 in
money. This was the Yankee idea OF
humanity. He con6scated property by
millions. This was Yankee honesty.
He supplied the rebels in Texas.with
munitions Of war and pocketed the pro
ceeds of the cotton receivedin exchange.
This was a smart Yankee trick. His
troops were whipped at Baton Rouge
while he was in New Orleans; he was
never under fire and never smelt gun
powder, except at Hatteras where the
long-rang guns of his fleet opened upon
a mud fort which had no ordnance that
could reach him two miles off; and on
the strength OF this he issues an address
as pompous as Satan's speech to the le-
gions in the bottomless pit. This was
making material for Yankee history.
After inf1icting innumerable tortures
upon an innocent and unarmed people,
after outraging the sensibilities OF civi-

of women and children, after placing
bayonets in the hands of slaves, after
peculations the most prodigious and the
most infamous, he returns reeking with
crime, to his own people, and they re-

manner that BELTS him and becomes

UNFORTUNATE AFrAIE.-We are pained.to
-leaSh through private letter from Uaion,
that Mr.. Jas. G. Fernandez Of that District,
was shot and killed by body of soldiers
sent last week to effect his arrest.
Mr.. Fernandez it seems had some difficulty
with members of fhe garrison at Unionville
come weeks ago, in which considerable vio-
lence vas manifested. Efforts to arrest him
had failed until last week, when squad of
men sent for that purpose, found him at his
residence. Resisting the demand to deliver
himself up, be severely wounded one Of the
detail, and thereupon received several shots
which proved immediately fatal.
Mr.. Fernandez bore s. high reputation'for
character, and was much esteemed by those
who knew him. iVc fear that the circula-
stances Of his death, if Us reported, will cxer-
cse an unfortunate influence. in tho commu-

We are pleased to see that some efforts are

we are pleaSeQ 10 see That some Efforts are
in progress for afordipg our young men the
means of obtaining superior education. We
have already spoken at large of the College
of Charleston, the force of its faculty, and
the favorable auspices under which it pro-
poses tobesin-a new career. We are now
glad to report the reopcning of the South
Carolina College, under its new and more
imposing title of University, How far the
University plan will or can be carried out,
VIC do not at present see and we assume that
the faculty will require to use extraordinary
energies and efforts, to overcome the extra
ordinary endorsements which evidently OBJ.
struct their progress. The Hon. r. W. Barn.
well is Chairman of the Faculty. His chair
will be that of History, Political Philosophy
and Economy. Mr.. Barnwell is too well
known as an able, and accomplished gentle
man, to render it necessary for us to say that
we may reasonably expecshis name to be-
come d tower of strength in the restoration
Of the college othe highplace which it oc-
cupiSd of old in the public eatimation. The,
chair of Modern Languages and Literature
is not yet filled. The other chairs are filed
as follows:
-. Prof. W. j. Rivers: School OF. Ancient
Languages and Literature. {
Prof NJ. LaBorde: School of Rhetoric,
Criticism, Elocption, aud English Language
and Literature.
- Prof. j. L. Reynolds: School of Mental

1t would give US great satisfaction, if, in
this connection, we could report the resump-
tion of the studies in our military academies
those institutions which have done so much
for the proper discipline and education CT our
young With the citadel building, at once
intact and capable of the accommodation of
the largest number possible to the seheol, it
is greatly to be regretted that, during the
feebleness of the State, in money matters,
ssme able self constituted faculty had not
boldly dashed into the experiment of carry
ing on the institution on their own account.
The State would readily have accorded the
use of,the building for such purpose, to any
set of gentlemen having the proper guaran-
ties of ability and social position. Such a
faculty would hare achieved the highest
spccess-would have drawn largely upon
the'patronage of other States, from tho Po-
tomac to the Rio Grande, had they procured

dent. That would have been card Of pop
