mortally wounded. He had lived long
enough for right honorable fame and
the performance Of the most important
duties Of life; but the regret was, that
such u man should fall by the bandits

such means, was a sadness to his
friends and family for years.

OF Mr.. Miles we will say what lie
could not say Of himself, that he is n
gentleman Of ability and far moro than
ordinary culture. Before the war he
made one of the best mayors the CITY
| of Charleston ever had. and he repre-.
| scntcd with honor tho Charleston Dis
trict in the Federal and Confederate
Congresses. He is fully master Of his
department, and his executive ability
has already been proven.
lie thus speaks Of the qualifications
| Of his associates:
OF Prof Woodrow it would be
enough that Prof Joseph LeConte
pronounced him "quite as competent
to fill his chair as he (Prof. LoContc)
was" (This was when Prof L..
after holding tho matter under advise
ment for some time, declined to leave
his high and literally ren,unerated po-
sition III the University Of California,
and come to us-uncertain as to whoth-
er our State really was in earnest, as
are all her.Southcrn sisters, in the de-
sire and intention TO build up the State
institution oftlcarning.) Prof. Wood
row has enjoyed all the advantages Of
| the best German Universities, is an ell
thusiastic student Of science, and wide
ly known for his extensive acquire
ments IN those special branches upon
which he lectures.
Prof. Sloan is distinguished gradu-
ate OF West Point, where he took very
high rank-among the first IN his class
-and has been q successful professor
In one of our sister colleges.
Prof Burney, with uncommon zeal
in tho prosecution Of chemical research
es, has had the fullest training under
the most celebrated German profcs-
sors, and has been lin itself high
testimoniaD q Fellow of the Johns
Hopkins University,
or Prof. Fabcr, as all Instructor in
modern languages, 1t would he supcr-
| fluous for me to speak, so widely and
tnvorably is he known as an admirable
and successful teacher particularly of
German and French.
Prof Fingcrlin. graduate Of Ro-
man college, has the highest endorse
mcnts rs a competent instructor, in
both ancient and modern languages,
and testimonials from many of our
best citizens, in whose families he has
given instruction.
For enabling our stt,donts to acquire
practical acquaintance with planting
and farming, and the methods Of culti-
waiting our staple crops, wo have an
ample area ofland, where Mr.. Con-
nors--our farmer, an experienced
and skill led agfic.iltuFist~~givcg his
undivided attention to field and car.
den operations. Here tho lectures on
Agricultural Chemistry arc supple
mcntcd and illustrated by the test and
comparison of various fertilizers on
growing crops. We do not propose
to make our farm an "cxperin,cntnl
| farm" as that term ts usually Under
