the people, of the advantages Of all the
plans proposed, and a determination of
the next Legislature, after such discus
sion, of which was best.
The appropriation to the Military
Schools, which was ably urged by Gen.
Hagood and Maj. Marley, having been
lost, the Bill was so amended by the Ju-
dicions motions of Gov. Bonham, OF the
Edgefeld, and Mr. Duryea, of the Char
lesion delegations, that the fund was
directed to be invested in the hands OF
the Treasurer of the State, and Com
mission appointed to report hereafter on
its appropriation.
Tho Senate refused to concur in this
action of the House. and having passed
a Bill similar in its features to that re-
.jected by the House, this Senate Bill was
taken up for action on Friday night,
when the House reversed it's former de-
cision, and by a largo vote, 81 to 81, 1
think, passed the Senate Bill, appropria-
ting this fund to the University. AL
though the absence of many who were
opposed to the Bill, made this great dis
proportion in the vote, it is but proper
that I should say, that believe the vote
in it's result, was the fair expression of
the opinion of the Legislature. 7 CO not
think that there can be any doubt, that
in the opinion of the present General
Assembly, this appropriation of the fund,
is the best and wisest. And, it is but just
for me further to say, that Col. Haskell
and Mr.. Barker, who urged the appropri-
alton to the University with great zeal
and ability, did so with equal fairness
They thought this appropriation within
the conditions of the grant, and that the
establishment of the College, in conncc-
tion with the University, would lay sure
ly and broadly the foundations of such a
system of scientific education, as would
gradually and successfully reach the in
dustrial classes" for whom this grant
was especially intended.
I differ with them. I cannot see in
this appropriation of the fund, anything
less than u misappropriation, and very
injudicious one. I have no desire to
weaken the usefulness of the University,
but L think} that in the present condition
Fof the State, the special alinstruction which
the proper use Of this fund could provide,
is of inestimable Importance to our peo-
pie. And if you can execute the plan
you propose; if from individual goner-
osity and patriotism, you can obtain the
means which, added to this grant, will
enable you to establish on solid founda-
tions, such College, for agricultural and
mechanical instruction, as you design, ]
cannot but think, thai the Legislature
will reconsider its action, and give you
the full benefit of the only grant ever
made to the industrial classes Of this
State, which promises large and perma.
nent results. The resolution of Congress,
not to allow this grant to the States un-
represented at present, will afford You
ample time to perfect your own plans
and to submit the whole question to a
new Legislature.
Very Respectfully, -.-
WIN. II. TRESCOT.

A R.porter Ferried Astride Cow.

A correspondent in the South of Scot

lows:
Several writer's of note have related

reporters before the days of railroads
but | do not think they have recorded
anything of the kind SO amusing as an
adventure that befel a reporter of my
acquaintance the other day.
The gentleman in question had to at
tend cQursing meeting in a western
county. He knew that the place oi
meeting was on the bank of certain
river and he calculated his journey SO
as to reach the spot at the hour fixed for
! the commencement of the proceedings.
7 On approaching, however he was much
disappointed by finding that he was on
one bank of the river and the hunters
were on the other The nearest bridge,
so far as he,was aware, was two miles
further up, and the river was broad and
deep. Here was o fix; and as the
first pair of hounds we're in the
slips, there was little time to
spare for reflection. Our friend would
have reckoned the service of boatman
cheap at the price offered by the Chief
of Ulva's Isle but no boatman was
near AS forlorn hope, he walked rap.
idly down the bank, and as he did so he
observed number of cattle on the op.

person who was likely to bein the charge
of them-a ruddy damsel of sixteen
was on the same side as himself, together
with one or two Of the cows. This cir
cumstance sug listed the existence of a
ferry of some kind and, approaching the
lassie, he anxiously inquired how she
managed to cross the river. "0hl /
ride owir on the pack o coo" was the
prompt but staggering reply. On re-
covering his breath our friend exclaimed,
"0n the back of COW "Yes; an

that he might GO further and fare worse,
