The UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CARoLNA.-The
catalogue of this institution for 1868 has been
laid upon our table, and embraces the names
of one hundred and thirteen candidates for
the usual college honors. The course Of study
that has been adopted is in all respects equal
to that pursued in the best universities Of the
country, and the professors are highly accom-
plished in their several departments. The
university library contains $4,000 volumes, be-
sides which are the libraries belonging to the
two literary societies-the Clariosophic and
the Euphradian.
The school Of medicine, although new, pro-
misses to become large and useful department
of the institution, and is under the charge OF
gentlemen distinguished for their learning in
the profession. The law school is under the
direction of Professor A. G. Haskell.
THE NATIONAL FREEDMAN's SAVINGS AND
TRUST CoMpANY.-We have received from Mr.
Nathan Ritter, the Cashier Of the Charleston
agency, the monthly statement OF the Freed
mans Bank for February, by which it appears
that the deposits in Charleston are S2O,2OO 49,,
and q gain during the year of s33,S77 In
Beaufort, South Carolina, which is the other
branch Office in South Carolina, the deposits
have amounted to s35, ,Os7 62, but from various
causes the loss during the year has been
Sc. 1855 II. Both branches are in a fourishlng
condition, and speak well for the thrifty habits
of the freedmen, who are their main consttu-
ents. The Freedman's Bank has agencies in
various portions Of the Union, but those in
South Carolina show larger returns than
the head Office, or any OF the subordinate
branches.
