The refusal of the Hon. Henry R. Jaokson toaooept of the Presidency of Franklin College,having been confulen- . tially announced, the thought of the ‘Trustees and of nil the friends of that Institution will naturally be directed' ■towards a successor. The importance _pf,a good selection cannot be over esti mated. The combination of qnalilies which would eminently adapt one to that re sponsible station, is so rare, that an opin ion of its absence in any one, is perfec- -tiy consistent with very high respect and admiration ; and, it is without any feeling of hostility to any former officer of the college, or towards any gentle- ■man whose name has been proposed for the offiee, that I beg leavo, through the medium of the Constitutionalist, to call ‘public attention, and more especially the attention of the Trustees of Frank lin College, to an individual who, in the -opinion of his friends, possesses high, if not the very highest qualifications, for the Presidency of that institution—the •Rev. C. W. Howard, a citizen of the county of Cass. Mr. Howard, as all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance will testify, is a finished, classical, and belles letters scholar, an original and profound thinker, and a vigorous, chaste and pol ished writer. Judging either by the matter or tho manner of his orations, and comparing with a standard, however elevated, he will be placed in the first rank of orators, and possesses, besides, to a degree rarely equalled, the' more valuable power of pleasantly impar'tirig knowledge. His familiarity with the -details of college life and government, and his large experience in the training of youthful minds, give him advantages Which, with equal intellectual attain ments, might be wanting in another, while his exquisite taste, his polished manners, his true gentlemanly bearing, endear him to the hearts of all who come Within the sphere of his personal influence. The studios of a lifetime, the severe exorcises of a mind now in full matu rity and vigor, the lessons of experi ence at home, confirmed and corrected by extensive foreign travel and observa tion , combine to fit him for a station in Which ho could do honor to himself and beoome invaluable to the State. * That he is a native of Georgia, a son of the South, true to the interest of his section; that he is widely and favorably known throughout this and the adjoin ing States, and that his popularity and influence are very groat in the populous and interesting portion of the Com monwealth in which he resides, are con siderations of minor importance, but by no means to be overlooked in tho se lection (soon to be mad*,) on which will depend the prosperity of the Uni versity, and the welfare of the State. We unite heartily with the Chronicle & Sentinel in its cordial endorsement of -the recommendation made in the fore going communication. It was our pur pose at some suitable time to make the game suggestion, but we are now glad that one so much better qualified has anticipated us. Wo announced a few days ago that Hon. Henry It. Jackson had declined to accept the Presidency of Franklin College to which he was elected last fall by the Senatus Aoadomicus. In looking around for his successor it oc curred to us that no man had qualifica tions better suited to that position than Rev. C. W. Howard. They have been briefly enumerated by the writer whose article we publish. Wo could not add one word to what he says. It is only left for us to express our entire appro bation of his suggestion the manner in which it is made and tho reasons upon which it based. Wo earnestly hope the proper authorities will carry it out, and that Mr. Ilowurd may be made the President of our State University. planter, professional man, mechanic, merchant, or of 1 whatever employment soever lie may be, let him be good of his kind; never forgetting that to bo an officer it is absolutely necessary that one should bo a gentleman. It would be bad policy, however, for any com pany to select its officers from any one walk of civil life. It will add to tho efficiency of any company to have va ried information possessed by its offi cers, us well as members.’’ The following remarks upon uniform ore very appropriate when taken in con nexion with the resolutions passed last week by the non-intercourse moot- tag: What uniforms shall wo adopt? is a question which has been, or is about to be asked, by at least ten thousand men, who have recently, or who nre about forming themselves into volunteor com panies in our .Southern .States. Wondering how it is that men can bo willing to depend for their uniforms on the very people against whose aggres sions they are arming, we can ask our selves the question: how is it that there should bo such a dillerenco in the judg ment of persons doing tho some thing with tho same feelings and for the same purpose ? Leaving out of view the ques tion, whether it is right to depend for uniforms, not to say arms, on those who seem determined to become our ene mies, we ask whether it i3 mere mat ter of taste, one of no importance, what uniforms our volunteers shall adopt? We think not, and for several reasons. Tho first, is the importance wo attach to the encouragement of tho produc tion of those tilings by a people which aro essential for their defence. This would claim a preference for a Southern made artielo; and wo have n&ver seen better goods for soldiers Wear than some of tho Rock Mill cloth, The The Sharpest Yet. An old-fashioned, innocent looking countryman, some fifty years of a^e, wearing plain country clothes and who our system, and up nnd down our spinal jsays he lives in the back woods; und sel- column. Lightning oduld’nt have cork- genitiveness on the ice. and we saw a million of stars dancing around our eyes, like ballet girls at tho Bowery theatre. How that shock went through Saluda and other Southern mills, wo be- ljcve, produce goods of similar quality, forty years Of peace left some of the , , ,, , , , nations of Europe, so far as preparation ? m ! . 11 » a head-bumpmg, back-ach- scrcwcd it down a greased sapling witi greater speed and more exhiierating ef fect. Boarding-house butter nor a war ranty deed, could not have struck stronger than wedid—nnd a dozen ladies looking at us—and our fissured pants ! “Hello, old cock I” sang out that rag ged imp again, und we wore there help less 1 .Soon we got up and mode anoth er trial, with better success. Perhaps we had skated, in our peculiar style fif teen feet, when a blundering chap came up behind, and we sat down with our tired head pillowed in his lap—and swearing at us, when it was all his own fault 1 IIow eold tlie ice was there too ! Every spot where wo made our debut on the ice—oh ! how cold it was 1 Our hear shin drawers wpro no protection at all! Wo tried again, ior the papers ail sayi, it's fun, nnd down came our Ro- man-Greccian nose, on the cold julip material, nnd tlie little drops of crim son ran down our shirt bosom, and to tho cold ice. Once more wo tried ska ting—made for the shore—sat down and counted damages. Two shillings in cash, thrown away; seven lattcral and one fronteral bumps on ice; one immense fissure in as hand some a pair of ten dollar cossimercs as a man ever put his legs in; one rupture in tho knee, extending to the bone; four buttons from our vest, a “fragmented” watch crystal, ond a back-ache, big enough to divide among the children of Israel. If you catch us on the smooth, glossy, chilly, freezing, treacherous, de ceitful, slippery, und slip-uppery ice again, you’ll know it! If any ono ever hears of our skating again; they will please draw on us at sight for tho bi valves and accompanying documents.— We have got through skating. it’s a humbug. It's a vexation of spirit, of business, of flesh, iittd tourer of trow- Voluntccr Officers and Uniforms. For the benefit of new corps being or ganized in Rome, we take an excellent idea or two from the Charleston Murcury Upon the subject of the requisite quali fication for officers, it says: “Firstand foremost, should come your man of military education, and, if pos sible, of experience. The military pro fession furnishes a field in which men of ordinary capacities may labor for some years without exhausting tho soil; and notwithstanding the contrary opinion held by some men ot talent, there havo been a few practial men, liko Napoleon, for instance, who thought officers could only be made by much study. Besides the knowledge of an art, mistakes in the practice of which must be paid for with death and suffering, tho education of these men will have tended to make them firm, intropid, prudent, modest, systematic and prompt in the dischorgo of duty. They will have been taught how to command, by having learned how to obey. Even in the cose of our first favorite', wo would not forget that men hare gone through military schools, perhaps even through West Point itself, very little impressed by their advantages. Next should come those who, without tho opportunities S thorough education, have, from ta xation, given such attention as they could. to military subjects. men cannot be found who have been educated for a particular profes sion, or who have.* natural turn for its requirements, the next best thing to be'We. where subh knowledge or t*l- ontJ4 Wonted, it seems to us, would be to select men Vrlio habitually do well tfliathrer they undertake. A good for war was concerned, very much as it had found them, duo allowance being made for the natural tendency which many things have to retrogade when not advancing.” ^ ^ ^ Case oi* Will. A. Choice. Judge Holt, of the Middle Circuit, in passing sentence on Thos. Jones found guilty of voluntary manslaughter at the last term of Richmond Superior Court, used the following languago : "Your drunkucss lias been the plea that has saved your life. At your form er trial, this court hold that drunken ness, fur from being an extenuation or mitigation of your crime, was an aggra vation of it. And it is most fortunate for you that you found u court to which you appealed entertaining a different opinion “ It will be remembered that in the trial of Wm. A. Choice, Judgo Bull de livered the same charge to the Jury that Judge Holt did in tho case of Jones, and Clioice hasuppcaied to tho Supreme Court. According to tho de cisionof Hint tribunal, alluded to, a trial mint be grunted, and Clioice can not again be convicted of murder Pleasure ul Skating. Perhaps Briok Pomery, local of the Milwaukie News, cannot give his views of skating, and then again perhaps he can. It is the best pen-and-ink portrait of skating that we have seen : Right beneath one of our windows, from m.-rn till midnight, we sec young sters and oldsters twisting their legs in to ail conceivable shapes. Wo cannot pick up a paper, but an article on skat ing meets the eye. Everybody says ’tis fun, and that's all everybody knows about it—for we have tried it. Last night, about gas-light time, after read ing a glowing description of life on skates, we prepared for. our first attempt and sallied forth to join the merry crowd. We had on a pair of stoga boots, trowsers-legs tucked inside, u Robert-tailed coat, and a white hat'— We went down on tho ieo, and gave a boy twenty-five cents in good coin of tho realms, for tho use of his implements.— We have confidence, evon as great us Peter’s faith. We, with tho assistance of a friend, fixed on tho skates, and stood erect, like a barber’s pole. Encouraged at the sight of Borne la dies on the bridge looking at tho skaters we struck out. A slant to the right with the right foot; a slant to the left with tho left foot; and just then wo saw something on the ice and stooped over to pick it up ! On our feet again—two slants to the right and ono to the left, accompanied with a loss of confidence. Another stride with the right foot, and wo sat down with fearful rapidity, with very little, if any elegance. Wh’ut a set down it was, for we made a dent in the ioe, not unlike a Connecticut butter bowl! Just then one of tho ladies re marked : “Oh, look Mary, that feller with the white hat hain't got his skeets on the rightplace !” Ditto thought wo. Just then a ragged littlo devil sang out as he passed ns—"Hallo, old timber leys !” and wo arose suddenly and put after him. Three slides to thejulit; two to tlie left, and awuy wont otWegs; ono to the east and tlie other to the west caus ing an imtnenso fissure in our pants, and another picture of a butter tray in tho cold—oli! how cold!—ice! Then tho lady—we know, she was one by tlie remark eIio made—again spoke ond said: “Oh, look Mary, that chap with the white lint has sat down on his liuud- kerchief to keep from taking cold 1”— We roso about as graceful ns a saw-horse when Mary said—“guess ’taint a hand kerchief,, Jane,”—and Mary was right. It wasn’t a .handkerchief—not a bit of it i Just tlien a friend came along, and proffered us liis coat tail us a “steadier.” We accoptcd the continuation of his garment, nnd up tho river we went about ten rods, when a shy to tho right by tho leader caused us, the wheel horse, to scoot oil' on a trangent, heeds up! But the icc is very cold, this sea son 1 We tried It again. Aglidoone way —a glide and a half tho other, when “whack” came our bump of philopro- J. (’. BAKER :R W.

Skating clubs are a humbug, and till tlie rascally youngsters wish to get tlio ladies at it, that they.may see— if they too, don’t say “the ice is dread ful cold !” It’s nothing to us, but tlie ladies will do well to let skates alone, unless they are younger nnd more elas tic than we me. Oil! how cold the ice is—we eaii feel it yet 1 BS-jy-Tho Washington Constitution pub lishes tlie malignant speech made by .Senator Fitch, the other day, in which he informed the South that if its rep resentatives allowed Douglas to be nominated at Charleston, that section would loso tho respect of enemies and tho sympathy of its friends. Tho Con- stitation endorses tlie doctrines of tlie speech, and commends it to general perusal with much warmth, The speech, it is understood, was made at tho suggestion of tlie President. Can’t Stand It.—No, wo will not sub mit to have our sex slandered by tlie twice-married minx, Fanny Fern, as in tho following: “Mens Eves Will Wander.—Show hut a strip of whito stocking above your boot or a bit of un embroidered skirt, or a Balmoral, and you may lead o Now Yorker by tho nose all over Manhattan, l lirough all Wall street nnd stand waiting for him. I have positively seen gentle men stand at tho ferry gates when their arms were half- broken with bundles, eagerly bobbing their heads tiiis way slid that to catch a sight of tlie gaiter hoots ns they nlighted Iroru tho various omiiibiisses. Ami not all young men either, hut gray-headed old codgers wl;o had grand-pa written ail over them.— Why should a woman care about- it, if her ankles are pretty ?” “Cure,” It may he just possible that if nil exhibition is fore ordained and inevita ble, she may prefer to choose her audi ence.” Now, we can positively affirm, (says tlie Petersburg Express,) and shall be sustained in our assertion, that there is no gontloman of correct habits and good taste, but what would instantly turn liis back to a lady who showed mere of a handsome und well-turned ankle than usual; that is, if lie was sure by a “right-about face” of seeing two pret tier ones! Infuriated Woman.—The Buffalo (N. Y,) Post relates tlie following in stance of a spiteful revenge as -having occurred in that city on last Tuesday; A young man residing in town who lias been a regular visitant at tlie residence of a young lady citizen, and whoso at tendance upon tlie same wus understood as a proludo to an eventual proposal, was sitting by her sido at tlie family tea table on a late evening, when, during the course of a rather jovial conversa tion, tho mother of the lady turned upon him with tlie smiling question : “When are you and M going to get married ?” Tlie gentleman responded with an appearance of great astonish ment, that lie had never entertained any such intention, nnd proceeded to joke upon tho idea. Tho young indy immediately uroso without a word, and went into’ a room adjoining, from whence she shortly returned, with a bottle of vitriol in lior hand, and with out a syllable or gesture of warning, dashing tho torrihio fluid into the un suspecting face of him whom she had supposed her lover, shockingly disfigu ring its features, instantly destroying tho sight of one eyo, and injuring its follow hopelessly. Small Pox.—A case of small pox, wo learn has made its apncaruncu in tlie town of Dawson, Terrell county, caus ing considerable approhonsiou among tho citizens. A young man, who hail been spending some time in Mncon, had recently rolurned, been taken sick, and on Sunday lost the physicians pronoun ced it a case of small pox.

When they came in front of Hie Battle House, he told-the old man that was tho bank, and to wait a min ute nnd lie would step in anil get tlie gold for him. Tho old mini waited nnd as lie did not return stepped in at the end of an hour to look for him, and not finding him, inquired und learned that lie was at the Battle Houso, instead of tlie bank. The police aro on tho alert for tlie thief. We hardly suppos ed Mobile contained so bold an.t ac complished a rogue, or tho surround ing country so green and available, a sulijcct.—Mohi/e Trihtine.

This is the largest apd most successful villatiyof tho kind on record, and it must lmve been con cocted and consummated by quite a number of persons.
