PROFESSOR J. ]. CH1soLM-In publishing tho
proceedings OF tho Board Of Trustees of the Uni
vorslty OF South Carolina, rocontly held at Coluu,-
ba, we stated that DR.. J. J. C41soLn had been
elected to the Professorship in the Medical De-
partn4ent We have heard from good authority
that Professor CH1soLM having identified himself
with tho Medical College in Charleston, will CON
tinue his connection with that institution. and
has, therefore, declined tho very atterine invita-
ton to organize the Medical Department of the
University.
PERsoNAI.-J. R. YOUNG, Esq, managing editor
- ~AA~ @SAAA
ping at the Mills House. Mr.. YOUNG is o most az
complishod journalist, md is considered in New
York ono Of the first in that honorable profession
By his energy and capacity he has made the 14i-
6ane the most excellent nesospaper in the United
States This much praise We heartily give it, not
withstanding its objectionable political features-
though we must say that If Mr. GREELEY and Mr.
YOUNG could fully carry out their own ideas in its
columns, it would, under the circumstances be the
least Objectionable daily paper to the people OF The
South published in New York. The Southern
people admire an opponent il he is open and con
sistent, such as GREELEY has ever been.
STATE TAxra-It has been generally believed
that to dodge tax is not only fair and just but is
an action creditable to the performer. Acting on
this principle many refuse to pay, and give no at
tontion to the notices demanding settlement.
The leniency Of the Government officials has been
exercised to such an extent that the quality
mercy became strained, and it was determined to
put the executions in tho hands Of the Sheriff. In
most Of the cases q year had past and no effort
was made by tho pGr6ess previously notified, to
como forward and redeem their liabilities. Under
these circumstances, in spite Of the poverty and
desttution Of the country, forbearanco has ccased
to De virtne aud the demand now is cash up, or
proceedings will be Instantly commenced to en-
force settlement. Delnquents who have hereto
fore procrastnated, are plainly told that now is
the accepted time, and that future delays viii be
indeed dangerous. A word to tho wise is suff-
cient. ."&

TIE CRY SoUARE.-From boyhood up, never
having seen larger affair than this, as spot for
the recreation of.grown persons, and play ground
for little people, we have always been delighted to
hear strangers and natives who have visited larger
cities call it q s'park," and, as several OF our
travelled citizens as well as few If the Aldermen
consider this as proper cognomen for this short
cut from Broad to Meeting street, we shall CON
tentedly consider it the sCity Park" and begin
to believe that the 'sConscript Fathers" are about
bestowing proper care upon it.
After the occupation Of the city by the Northern
forces, when this spot was as green and verdant
as ever, it having never been injured by the numer-
ous shells which had nutilated other pretty por-
tions of the town, and when the budding trees be-
gan to throw ont their beautiful leaves and fra
grant blossoms, it seemed as if they who had con-
troll Of our destinies at that time were anxious that
the citizens should no longer enjoy the pleasures
which nature had allowed them on this charming
spot, and consequently turned into the Square"
hundreds OF horses and mules, that they might de-
stroy the lofty trees that had been planted years
ago. as memorial Of the visit to Charleston Of the
immortal LAFAYETTE; and in this attempt our CON
Guerors succeeded so well that many Of the finest
elms and cedars, well as others, faded and died,
yielding no shade nor beauty since. But, as every
. .ehing at The present time is being amended and
ip~ ~oved by the City Council, as far as their means
will rea ch, and this little piece Of ground has
attracted eir attention, much to the qualification
OF ourselves an other good citizens, we feel bound
to retnrn our acs uowledgments to them, and to
say that nothing gives> us more pleasure than to
see the decayed trees beng carried of, and the
buds Of the living ones commence to swell, for we
are then assured that both are &5out to RaUe.
