Radical progress in the manipulation
of Southern colleges is not illustrated in
North Carolina alone. Mr.. Holden's
ruinous work at Chapel Hill has a
companion picture in tho present condi-
ton of the University of Alabama. In
the latter institution, the number of
pupils has been reduced to ten, five of
whom are sons of the Professors, So
callcd-men who are neither competent
nor respectable. The concern costs the
State $4,000, SO that each student costs
Justs $1,000. This is progress.
Elizabeth, N. j., has been fearfully
excited over supposed attempt to de-
stroy the place. a man was arrested,
and on his person was II letter from q
notorious villain i'll New York, who said
he should soon be Mt that place, and the
first thing he did on arriving would be to
elbow up Elizabeth" After swearing O
regiment of special officers to guard the
town, it was found that the mans wife's
name was Elizabeth, and sho was the
corporation that was to be blown mp.
It is related that, soon after war was
declared, one of Bismarck's friends snid

Cotton Planter.

We would call the attention of plant
ers to the Messrs. DeSaus:ure & Co.'S
advertisement of PR1cEs' Champion
Cotton Planter, for which they hold
the right for Kershaw District. The
machine appears O perfect one OF its
kind, allowing great facility in planting,
regulating the deposite of the seed with
all the accuracy desired, 1t is evident
" time saver, and therefore money
haaker, on the principle that time is
money. At a period when all the usu-
al laborers required by our farmers,
may not be forthcoming, any improve
mcnt in machine laLorcrs should be en-
couraged, and among these articles Of
fercd to the public, the Champion
Planter will assert its position in this
section, as it has wherever it has been
introduced. The advertisement fur.
nishes full particulars of the capability
of the machine to perform its allotted
ask.

are already on the lines and doing sue
cessful business, and if Southern peo.
pie will look to their interest, our cotton
need not, in future 60 to New York, on
its way to Europe, to be tolled. The
receipts over the Central Road are over
$1,000, 900, it isnot unreasonable to
expect one-fourth of this for our road.
The Directors have determined to de-
clare a dividend in July, to be quarter
ly thereafter, and those who gave up in
despair and sold out, I think will only
regret it, for unless war, or an earth
quake, or some other unforeseen casualI
ty happen, stock will be double its pre-
sent price in less than twelve months.
For political as well: as pecuniary con-
Fsiderations, I would say to South Caro-
linians: Keep control Of the South
Carolina Railroad. ClVlS.

of some of their worthy aivines are of
piety. You may now ard then meet
with one who has some faith in the final
salvation of the South, through the in,
strumentality of the carpct-baggers,
(Scott, Whittemore, Bowen, and kin
dred spirits) and the fut3re prosperity
of the country by the ah of northern
enterprise. They intend to regeueratc
the South, now that theyhave succeed
ed in removing the incubus that was,
in their estimation, crushing her to the tho
earth. Kind souls, theyhope to have
their names recorded on tthe scroll of
fame for deeds of philanthropy. Will
they bring that prosperity to the South
of which it has been robbed to carry
out their selfish, and pSli.ical ends ?
Will they restore the blRd they have
spilt-the wealth they has squandered
the morals they have corrupted, by
letting loose upon the communities, a
people destitute of edusatiop and with
few exceptions, the common decencies
ofsociety? Will they restore the worthy
families they have reduced to beggary
the husbands to the widows? When
they have accomplished these ends,
then they may boast Of their measures
of reconstruction. Until then, let them
keep their blatant tongues employed in
asking forgiveness for the wrongs they
have committed. a.

CHARLESTON, Feb. is, 1870.
Cat called meeting of the members
of the South Carolina Institute, on the
9th inst, among other proceedings, the
following resolution was submitted by
Hon. W. D. Porter, and on due
consideration, was unanimously adopt
ed:
"Resozued, That the President Of the
South Carolina Institute, be requested
to invite delegations from the various
County Agricultural Mechanical and
Immigration Societies throughout the
State, to assemble in Charleston on the
first Tuesday in May next (3d) to take
into consideration the questions of labor
and immigration; and means for the
further development of the Agricultu-
raj interests of the State"
GENTLEMEN AS the Executive
officer of this State Institute Associa-
tion, I take the earliest opportunity to
lay before you the appended resolution,
and respectfully to invite an earnest
consideration of Its import, and the ap-
pointment of such number of delegates
as your Association, Cub or organiza-
tion may deem proper.
Authorized credentials from the presi-
ding officer of the respective Societies,
will pass delegates on the South Carroll
na Railroad for half the fare, as doubt
less will be adopted by other lines of
road. e.. ,..
The paramount Importance for a
broad ard united organization as indi-
Gated by the resolution. is self evident.
To induce Settlers, immigration and
efficient lnborers to till the fertile and
genial lands of South Carolina, and
bring out her various resources of man.

suits, demands cooperative action Of
the people, from the mountain region

,terprising and willing merchants, aided
By the parent Of all pun5uits, Agricul-
ture, and with practical, can form such

A Washington dispatch says: "The
eadetship investigation IS in confusion,
and it is difficult to determine to what
extent the committee will further push
the examination. Letters and kilograms
come to them from all quarters charg-
ing present and exmembers with
sales of cadetships, and one Of these
thus charged is in very high position.
Whittemorc alleges that one of the COM
mittee who signed his expulsion has
been in the business, and that his let.
tiers are sxtaut to prove it. 1t is ex-
pectcd that Butler will offer resolution
iDstructing the committee to inquire
who il was that offered Kegler five
hundred dollars for Whittemore's letter,
and report further says Fernando Wood
was that man."

The Chatham Road runs daily trains
to Haywood, and has also nearly com
plelcd a survey from Haywood by
Lockvile to Joncsboro. Engineers
have just been locating by surrey and
measurement, this line o. road us con.
tinuaiion of the Chatham road, to in.
tcrscct our Western road. We are un-
able to say whether this connection Of
road will be built at once or not. DIR.
Hawkins, the President Of the Chatham
Road and r. & G. Road. says he will
run train from Raleigh to Fayette-
vile by next Christmas. We think it
likely that some forward movement for
extending the Chatham road will be
made soon, but are uncertain as to the
exact route. We have heard often of
plans for leasing or selling our Western
r. r. to DR.. Hawkins and his compa-
mics. But We know but little of the
matter and care but little. The suppo.
sition has been too, that if Hawkins and
the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad Com
pany, become thus identified with our
road, that they would then undertake Ii
Fayetteville and Florence road, or more
likely one from Fayetteville by Society
Hill and Camden 10 Columbia. Haw-
kins, it is said, believes he can get the
S. C.,Legislature to vote "ample" ap-
preparation for some such road.
We have but little belief that the
money appropriated to our road will be
used in extending it to Salisbury. Ma

The South Carolina Railroad.

l do not propose, Mr.. Editor, TO write
history of this railroad, which was
the first railroad ever constructed in the
Southern States, aud for some time, the
longest road in the world; but merely
to throw out a few hints, so that stock.
holders may see their true interest and
not part with their stock, when VIC
have evidently passed the crisis Of our
affairs, and with ordinary prudence and
foresight on the part of tho Directors,
the stock so long allno; worthless, will
now continue steadily to advance to its
par value The Directors, doubtless,
had many difficulties to contend with
when the war closed, and it is not neces-
sary in this article to discuss the wis
dom of their management; suffice it to
say, all the difficulties have been over
come--our future prospects arc bright
and the road in excellent condition.
Our foreign debt, of about 1000. 900,
went to protest during the wal add to
this, the road and rolling stock was al
most totally destroyed by ,Shermau's
army, the prospects, therefore, were
gloomy indeed in 1865, but in February,
'66, the road was in complete running
order; We have now, if not enough, at
least, handsome outfit oflocomotivcs,
passenger and freight cars, Of all kinds;
our foreign debt has Except smail
sum- been settled upon very liberal
terms FIVE per ceut. and twenty years
to pay. TIE receipts of the road have
been heavier within the last twelve
months than ever before in. the same
period, and there is every probability,
that they will reach Sl,500,CO0 by
February next. Our, prospects justify
us in such reasonable expectations
Consider them for a moment. The
Columbia and Augusta Railroad has
not ruined the South Carolina Road; as
was confidently predicted, and it is cvi-
dently there is room enough for both,
and instead of the receipts falling off,
they have actually increased This is
attributed to two,.causes: First, the in.
creased energy, zeal, vitality and spirit
! infused into every department Of busi-
ness; IN a word, the progressive spirit of
the age. Second, the important con-
nections this road has only partially
made with the Georgia roads, n less
than one month the connections will
be complete and passengers will take
the cars at Macon and get out in Char
lesion. Thousands of passengers, who

A PARDON IN ADvANoE.-Refer-
ring to the arrest last summer of High
Constable Hubbard, on the charge of
illegal detention of South Carolina
prisoners within the limits of the State
ofGeorgia, the Augusta Chronicle states
that the carpet bag Governor Bullock
has sent pardon to Hubbard in ad-
vance of his trial, and that when the
Superior Court meets next week, i mo.
tion will be made by Hubbard's couu-
sci to have his bond cancelled by vir-
tue of Bullcck's instrument. There is
no doubt thatif Hubbard should have
come to trial he would have been con-
victed. Indeed so assured was the pris-
onor, himself, of the result, that he had
announced his intention Of not coming
to Augusta when the SuI erior Court
met, preferring rather to let the mo-
nev of South Carolina (advanced by
Governor Scott, as baiD be forfeited
than face Georgia jury.

Wu1TrEMoRIANA.-The highest pri-

member to his scat-and the lowest
depth to which carpet bagger will
sink in the prostitution Of his office,

scene which was presented this after
noon, when the military committee Of

Benjamin Franklin Whittemore, of the
First South Carolina District, had been
guilty Of acts unworthy of a member,
and should be expelled from the body.
There sat Whittemorc, pale and nerv.
Gus, but bolt upright in his scat, which
is on the centre aisle, near tho main
door, hearing the very whispers from
the crowded gallery above him of "Show
me the culprit;" (Which one is Whit
temore ?" followed by kindred remarks,
as the evidence went on to drive home
still deeper the charge against him.
