When the Theological Seminary Of the
Associate Reformed Church was estab-
lished at Due West about twenty years
ago he was elected q Professor in that in
stitution, which office be held in connec-
ton with his Professorship of Greek in
Erskine College until the day Of his
death.
From. the foregoing sketch it will be
seen that DR.. Pressly Was a member of Q
remarkable family. and it Is needless to
add that he possessed in full measure the
intellectual endowments, and moral and
Christian graces, for which it was distili-
guished. Enjoying the benefits Of early
culture, and q thorough course of instruc-
close and assiduous study, and reaped the
ripened fruits of a profound and varied
scholarship. Called to the Professorship
of Crock Literature in Erskine College,
fe filled the position with pre-eminent
ability, and enjoyed the unDounded ad-
miration alike Of professors and students
for his familiarity with the ancient class
les, and the ease with which he unlocked
their hidden treasures. His discriminate
ing and appreciative mind comprehend
ed in their full beauty the master pieces
of Grecian genius aud reproduced all
their graces of thought and expression,
in terse and vigorous English. The liter
al faithfulness of his translations of the
classical idioms, into appropriate Anglo
Saxon:was remarkable. The students all
respected him for his learning, and loved
him for his blunt kindness Of his nature.
One Of the most profound t~heologicans
Of his Church, and gifted with a clear in
tellect and well balanced judgment, he
exercised a deserved influence in all the
councils of the Associate Reformed
Church. He had thoroughly mastered
its doctrines. and was prepared to mail

ough preparation of his sermons, and for
the solid thought, and weighty and con-
vincing argument which always charac-
terized his pulpit efforts. He was hence

and profit.
A man of high character, %unbcnding
integrity, and blameless and irreproacha-
BILE life, possessing all the Christian
graces in full exercise, he was the model
Of the Christian professor. Endeared to
all classes Of the community his death
has been the occasion Of widespread sor-
row; land whilst thei immediate family

sgrief, yet alike to the church, and to the
college and to the community it has come
to rouse Il Of profound bereave-
ment. Long may we cherish his memory
and oS ulate his virtues.

The Troops to be Removed.

WASHINGTON, April z.
The formal order to General Ru-
ger to remoye the troops from the

camp is being prepared by the Sec
retaay of War, but will not be sent

row General Sherman was clos
cted with Secretary McCrary for
some time before the preparation
of the order was commenced, which
will be in the nature of . despatch
to General Ruger: and not q general
order, through tho usual military
channels. 1t is generally believed
the order will not be sent until sub
mitted to the Cabinet to-morrow
afternoon.
Chamberlain, up to i o'clock, did
not believe the conclusion to remove
the troops from the State House
had been reached. When he had
official confirmation of the fact, he
said at ends the struggle. and

Chamberlain dimes with the Pres
idcntto-night, and leaves for Colum-

When Governor Hampton was
informed this afternoon, in advance
of the official notification, that an
order would be issued for the remo-
val OF the troops from the State
House, he expressed himself much
gratifed, but said it was no more
than he expected from the princi-
pies announced in the inaugural ad.
dress. He was somewhat interest
cd to know whether the order
would take immediate effect, as he
wished to be present in Columbia
when it was executed. However,
as a precautionary measure, he
would at once telegraph to friends
in Columbia his earnest wish that
there should be no outward demon
stration, such as might disturb the
public peace, and he was satisfied
his advice would be respected. On
the withdrawal of the troops from
State House, he would direct that a
guard of two unarmed men be sent
there to guard it from improper In
terruption, and he thought such
force would be sufficient for the
purpose. He felt satisfied there
would be no disturbance, and that
the people Throughout the State
would take courage to repair their
shattered industries. lie called
this afternoon to take favor Of the
President, and thank him for the
withdrawal Of the troops, repeating
the assurance given in his recent
letter, that all should share alike
in the protection Of the law, and
not doubling his ability to preserve

If would certainly be very desirable
thing if our State Agricultural College could
be utilized in this way, as our farmers are
unquestionatly too much at the mercy of the
dealers in commercial fertilizers. A short
time ago case came up in one of the courts
of Connecticut, in which dealer in the city
of New York sued farmer for the price of
several tons Of fertilizer, for which fifty five
dollars ton was charged, but it was proved,
through the fundamentally of the State
Experimental Station at Niddetown, thai
it was worth only about eight dollars ton,
and the farmer was thus saved from the i'm.
position attempted to be practiced upon him.
AS the Legislature did not perfect any
measure looking TO this desirable object,
would it not be well for the Trustees of the
State Agricultural College TO take the proper
steps 10 carry out the idea of our Senator,
II ii can be done without further legislation
The State Experimental Station of Con-
necticut is attached to the University located

Agricultural Experiment Stations.

The ft flowing article in reference to mat
ter of great importance to the agricultural
community is from n late number orthc Turt
Field and Farm:
"lhe usefulness md general character of
the agricultural experiment stations in
Europe appear to be little unders TODD in this
country. In late report of the Sheffield
Scientific School at New Haven, Conn,
Professor johnson calls attention TO the sub
Ject, and sells forth the advantages to be de-
rived by such agencies. There is no question
that experiment stations, efficiently conduct.
ted, are OF immense benefit 10 the farmer, and
now that the country is flood d with bogus
guanos, adnlteraled phosphates and Other
trashy fertilizers, necessity calls for THEN
speedy establishment in every State in til,
Union. One important function of thes,
agencies is the examination of fertilizers
and The establishment of II system of control
over them. In Europe, men specially train
ed for the purpose are employed in these
stations. Chemical Laboratories connect
ed with stables, fields, gardens, &C., where
experiments are made ON the relative values
OF soils, different kinds of fodder and meth
ods of feeding stock of the action of ferlii-
zers on different GRO 8; analysis OF fertilizers,
best methods ofupplying them, &c.
The first experiment station in Eurore
was founded in Saxony in 1859, by farmers
and an agricultural society. The number
has since increased, until nj p est mt there are
over so stations in active and successful oper-
alton i'll Europe, and their number is rapid
ly increasing from year to year, SO papably
manifest are the advantages they confer
The direct benefit accrulng TO agriculture is
incalculube The surest possible evidence
OF their value is found in the fact that they
are ,mphalcally farmers institutions and
they have been founded by farmers from
whom they receive enthusiastic and increas-
ing support. There is IA vast need of agri-
cultural experiment stations in this country
The first and only one in The country is that
ut Middetown, Conn, which has been in Sue
cessful operation for year, and, of It's use

mcnts between Edgewood and Bel Air are
yet unsettled, and the receipt of mails from
Baltimore is us uncertain as the course of n
laller-day politician Postmaster Spicer, in
Bel Air, has been active in cndeayoring to
have the n ails carried, and several times has
gone TO Edgewood for them himself. AT
other times, for news from the outside
world We are dependent upon such passing
travellers as are willing to carry the mail
Iree of charge. The contractor, Zimri Nc
Donald, of Washington and elsewhere, took
The contract at price for which the service
could not be performed except at loss. He
employed Messrs. VIM. and Geo, Anderson,
p:oprietors of the Bel Air and Elgewood
Stages, TO do the work for him at about
double the amount lie received; but failing
to pay up promptly, they discontinued the
service. Mcdonald has endeavored to get
the mail carried, but no one seems disposed
TO embark in the enterprise, under the Gil.
cumstances. We are informed that the De.
parlment will shortly receive bids for new
contract. Mcdonald was singunlly success
full in obtaining mail contracts, several hun.
hired having been awarded to him, in various
parts of the country. The Sight difference
in most cases, between his bids and his lowest
competitors, induces the belief that he had
peculiar facilities for obtaining the informa.
ton which enabled him TO eecuro 30 many
contracts.
