TAE NAVAL RACE. The great naval
race between the steamers Winooski
and Algonquin, Of which so much has
been written and said, came off on
Long Island Sound last week. The
result was in favor of the Winooski,
she beating her competitor so badly
that it was decided not to run the
entire distance. The object of the
race was to test the merits of the
engines, which are constructed on
different principles.

UntvcT1lty "a SOoSAA O$~AOkAAAs%s
The surest and speediest way Of
rehabilitating this city is the building
ND of the University in its midst.
Columbia has every natural advantage
requisite to make it a university town
railroad facilities, beauty of scene
ny, and healthiness of location. The
University, however, in its present
state, can do little towards the end
we have in view. It must be. en-
larged. In addition to its literary
and scientific schools, it should
have law school, q theological
school, and medical school. A
law school is n great desideratum in
the State. There is no such thing
within its bounds A theological
school, Independent of creeds, pro-
posing as its object the laying of q
foundation for q dogmatic course in
sectarian schools, would supply an
other want. The need of a medical
school is almost as great, and the
advantages for the establishment of
such school are innumerable. Free
negroes and the artisans from the
manufactures with which the middle
and up country must, ere long, be
filled, will crowd the hospitals, thus
placing quantity of clinical mate
rial within easy reach. The Medical
College of Charleston would not be
in the way. About two hundred
students are usually in attendance at
the Charleston.College. It would be
easy to attract these and many more
to Columbia, by opening under the
wing of the University medical
school, and entrusting it to proper
hands. All the schools together would
bring to the town not less than half u
thousand students, and with those
students no small amount of money.
Columbia would derive both profit
and Importance from such an addition
to her population; and our citizens
will fling away splendid chance if,
with this prospect before them, they
do not use every effort to further the
scheme which we propose.
OF course, we have other reasons
than the above material one for de-
string the establishment of these
schools. But we have advocated the
step from merely abilitarian point
of view alone; because the other
arguments in its favor are SO obvious
as to render it unnecessary that we
should dwell upon them.

Stephen Elliott. The funeral services
were feelingly read by the Rev. Paul

Letter from Hon. b. r. Perry.

We publish this morning letter
Hon.SB. F. Perry, United States Sc
nator from South Carolina It is a
calm and dispassionate review of the
political situation with regard to the
policy of the restoration of the States
lately in rebellion against the United
States Government, and his views
expressed through the columns of
the National Leteligencer, the paper
having the confidence of the Presi-
dent of the United States, must have
weight and Importance.
He has done right-done' what no
other Senator has done-given the
true position of the State who con-
ferred upon him her highest honor,
and we have no doubt but his letter
will have its due effect in all the States
of the Union where the adherence to
the Constitution and the laws forms
the groundwork of their govern
ment. He has nobly vindicated
South Carolina, and whilst con-
sistent and sincere friend of the Union
through all the assaults made upon it
by his State, he unequivocally gives
his testimony to the sincerity and
patriotism of her people Such q
document, from such a man, cannot
fail to have its just weight and infu-
ence in every State in the Union.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Senator Perry on Friday evening. on
his return from Washington; he was
on his way home, and left yes terday
morning. He is quite hopeful, and
agrees with us that Andrew johnson
is master of the position. He be-
neves Inat, ere long, tho Southern
representation in both Houses of
Congress will be admitted to their
nghtful position in the councils of
the nation, and that through the
firmness of the President, his patri-
otism and adhesion to the Constitu-
ton and the laws of the country, the
radicals will be utterly defeated and
routed. He gave us more hope than
anything we have yet read or heard.

The NATIONAL FINANCE. business
at the North hesitates, while the
financial policy of the Government
remains unsettled. It is urged in
Washington that action upon the
funding bill be taken, and that the
revenue will be ample for all pur-
poses, and allow q large sinking fund,
if the financial scheme of the inter
nal revenue committee be adopted.
The amount desirable by the scheme
is estimated at $500, 100000. If such
is the fact, it is q heavier tax upon the
people, but, if admitted, the South
must be supplied with currency, if
crops of staples are to be made and
moved. The limit to the national
currency of 3OO,0oo,OOO is nearly
reached, but it is considered quite
certain that Congress Will authorize
an extension of the limit so far as may
be necessary for the circulation of the
South.

ton Of the management to have remained
here at least two days, and then go on a
tour through the upper Districts; but,
owing to the impossibility OF obtaining
transportation, that idea had to be aban-
doned. The Augusta, Savannah and
Charleston papers speak in favorable
terms OF the company, and We have no
doubt that all who attend will be perfectly
satisfied. We would advise ladies and
children to attend the afternoon exhibi-
ton, as the crowd is seldom so large as at
night.

Tho Highest Autnoritx.

A despatch to the NewY ork Herald
gives us an item of Importance, in a
recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court. During the late
war, all cases from tie rebelious
States were laid aside by the court; but
now, the rebellion being terminated,
it was proposed to resume considera-
ton of such cases, and on this ques-
ton all the Associate Justices voted
in theaffirmative, Chief Justice Chase
alone dissenting. This decision is in
effect a legal endorsement by the
highest judicial tribunal of the re-
public OF President Johnson's posi-
tion that the lately reibelliiiious States
now occupy their former position in
the Union, have not, according to the
ultra radical theory, fallen back to
the territorial condition.
