In consequence of the non-arrival of our engmvecF heading, the contemplated change in name cannot be made until next week, when the Port Royal Commercial will appear as announced under the editorial care of Major E. W. Ever0)0. mist* rvrrrPClTV. lllCi .. . Professors Barnwell, Labordc, Tulley and Gibbe, of the South Carolina University, have within a short time resigned their chairs. The more or less direct cause of this action may be found in the fact that Henry K. Hayne, secretary of state, has applied for tuition in the medical department Mr. Hayne is a young colored man of good character, manners amd appearance. He could withoutobjectton, doubtless, obtain admission to some of the best medical schools of the country. His desire for instruction is commendable, especially in view of the fact that lie has been promiuent and successAll in> politics, and could without doubt count upon an easier support from a devotion to the interests of his party rather than the laborious profession he has chosen. The action of the professors is to our mind very silly. They did not decline to hold positions from a board of trustees partly composed of colored men; they thought it no degradation to be supported by a legislature composed mainly of colored men ; they would quite willingly receive their salaries from Mr. Cardozo, a colored man; but they shrink from teaching a colored man the mysteries of medic ino. THE SHORTEST LINE. W. W. Love, in the Western (N. C.) Expositor, gives a number of figures to prove that Chicago, Illinois, Louisville, Ky., Vefay, Indiana, and Cincinnati, Ohio ; will all be nearer Knoxville, Cleveland and Chattanooga, Tennessee 'r Dalton, Athens, Macon, Augusta and Savannah, Ga ; Anderson, Abbeville, Aifcen and Tort Iloyal, S. C ; via Wheeler's Gap, Knoxville and the Rabun Gap, than by any line of railroad that can ever be constructed through Cumberland Gap aud along the Valley of the French Broad. His figures makes the distance ao follows : Louisville, (via London, Wheeler's Gap, Knoxville, Franklin, Clayton, and Walhalla) to Augusta, 514 miles Augusta to Port lioyal, 115 miles Total, 629 miles Shorter by S3 miles than the line by mKorla ml fj»n and French road. which ignores Knoxville, leaving it 42 miles to the west.131 miles nearer than the line via Wheeler's Gap, Knoxville and the French Broad. 137 miles shorter than the line by way of Nashville, Atlanta and Augusta. It is the shortest line that can be found between Chicago, Vevay, Louisville, or Cincinnati, and salt water in a South Atlantic port, and that port, or harbor, which, for capaciousness and depth of water, has no equal on the South Atlantic coast. The Great Eastern can enter it with as much ease as a surf boat can enter the unluckily barred harbor of Charleston, whose bar is as hurtful in time of peace as it has been valuable in time of war. The "Rabun Gap Short Line Railway" is a link in the shortest surveyed line from Chicago, Louisville, Vevay, or Cincinnati, to Augusta, Port lioyai or Savannah, eighty three miles. It shortens the line to Macon by 42 miles. It is the shortest line to Greenwood, It is a continuation of the shortest line to K'noxvine. n puis jvuoxviue at the end of a line whose freights and traffic, and the value of whose stock, must soon afler completion, equal, if not surpass, the value aud importance of the "Western & Atlanta*," a short road 138 miles, payiug over $25,000 per month. It brings Anderson, Abbeville, Hartwell, Clarkville and Athens, prominently into the railroad world It supplies nearly every demand of northwestern South Carolina and northeast Georgia for railroads. It lies in the very heart of the mineral region of Western North Carolina. It is the direct line from Chicago, etc., to the centre of the rice lields of the South.to tbe land- of oranges.to West Indies.to South America. From the top of the Blue Ridge north, to the clover fields of East Tennessee, a distance of SO miles, the Tennessee river has au average fall of nearly fourteen fat. no one mile falling aa much as thirty feet. At the top ot the Blue Ridge, in the Rabun Gap, the depression ia more than 200 feet below Asheville, and by at least 550 feet the lowest gap south of Virginia. The Rural Carolinian..A New Volume. The October number of this truly valuable Illustrated Agricultural Monthly in promptly at hand. The number before us, which commences the Fifth Volume,shows unmistakable evidences of improvment. Its pages contain tho usual ainouut of usetul and practical information for the agriculturist, the horticulturist, and the home circle. It should have a place in every Southern . farmers' home, not only as au invaluable counsellor in the daily farm work, but ] as a fireside companion to the household. The publishers announce their purpose ^ of offering a premium Chromo to suh- scribers. They have selected two beautiful Six Dollar Ohroioos for that purpose. Subscibers will be entitled to a choice of cither of them on complying with the terms.a years' subscription paid up in *h advance, together with two dollars for a 'lu Chromo.. This is a new enterprise for a Southern publication, and wc hope its bl; projectors will be amply rewarded for their praiseworthy undertaking. The *h Cbromos will be ready for deliver}' early of in December. th The publishers are desirous of organ- <Jl izing an efficient corps of canvassers in ^ every County ol eac h of the Southern 11 States, to whom they will allow liberal tli commissions. Those willing to under- I* take the duties arc requested to make early application to the publishers at Charleston. S. C. 1" m tli DIRECT TRADE WITH THE SOUTH. i. to For more than twenty-five years wc have persistently advocated the policy of rc direct trade between Europe aud the re Southern portion of the United States. Ik \V« have always found innumerable m arguments in favour, and not oue against . tins policy Some twelve years ago, in t,! a speech at St. James's Hall, inljondou, w while discussing the "causes and con- cj sequences of the war" then raging, we tj, made the somewhat startling statement . that "every bale of cotton raised in the South was clipped thirteen times on its c\ dwindling way to Manchester." And <p we gave this as one of the causes of Southern discontent, which culminated . in the Secession War. Wc have always ,c contended that a protective tariffs had s< more to do in bringing 011 that great hi sectional conflict than abolition. The C1 South was a producing, and the North a manui'utuiing and trading country. A P large portion of every bale of cotton w went into tbe pockets of Northern com- ai uiissi ju merchants, bankers, and ship- sj owners; while the goods that came back from ESrope in exchange were taxed all 81 the way from the mill abroad to the ai plantat.011 at home. And thus indirect tl trade burnt the planter's candle at both (j ends. Strange as it may seem to the practical political economist, this most impolitic state of things still exists, not- h withstand ng the feeling of hostility that 0 still remains in the South against their n trading conquerors in the North. But the feeling in favour of direct trade with Europe, as we chance to know, every- a where exists south of "Mason and a Dixon's Line," and is daily growing g more and more intense. The people are .1 fully alive to their own interest iu this respect, and they are giving it practical w expression in the shape of cotton mills e; and other manufactories, which are J springing up iu all Southern States. The t] difficulty lias bccu want of means to establish regular intercourse by steam with Europe. They have some of the u best ports in the world, hut no ships, a and no money to build them. We are p glad to sec that an energetic effort is being made to induce a line of ships to a run between Liverpool and Port Royal, r< one of the finest ports on the'Atlantic t< coast. In fact, there can hardly be conoeived a more attrctive port for commerce than Port Royal, where the largest ships in the world can enter at all states P of'the tide without a pilot. Wo will c quote a brief description of it from high t( authority "Port Royal is one of three fir.->t-class ports on the Atlantic coast 11 south of Newport, It. I., the others I1 heiugNeWTork aTjCh-Qicsapeake Bay. a' By anrst-clas8 port I mCnp one into ai which any vessel yet built cuter.

This beautiful haven is 0 in the State of South Carolina, bordering T n : u L Ull llUUI'glift) nuuiu a^ivavvivj to uuovmvu to grow up, and that rapidly. The foli lowing facLs and figures will show that p Port Koval cannot fail to become a great |j centre of commerce. The location com- jfl pels it. For example, the distance from Atlanta to New York is '.'*2 miles, while a from Atlanta to Port Royal it is but 281 d miles. From Chattanooga to New York p it is 844 miles, while to Port Royal it is t less than half the distance-but 418 miles. From Nashville to Now York it is 1,153 miles, while to Port Royal it is but 5»'>8 h miles, again less than half. From St. y Jjouis, the centre of converging roads _( from the West, embracing a vosttcrrito1 ry not surpassed, if equalled in produc- 11 , tivoness by any in the tforld, the distanc, d U> Port Royal is 255 miles shorter than h to New York. Even from the high j, n rthoru point of Omaha, the junction of the railway to the Pacific coast, the route to Port KoyTrNsiilj lulled shorter than that to New York. The following tahlc shows the distances of the important j. ficighting centres named, from the two M ports, in contrast:. PUtinm. to PMamv# lo a N'ov Vnrk. I'ort Koral. Miles.

The principal topic of conversation, on c street, in the banks, and, at licadlarters, during the past week, has been e extra session of the gcnoral assemy, whicli is to commence on tho 21st stunt Opinions as to tho wisdom of c call are'as varied as the composition the legislature, and in some circles, e movement Is called severely into lestiou ; doubtless the > consideration of e debt will not be confined to narrow nit<, or the levy of a tax simply to pay ie interest on the Morton Bliss bonds, is believed the next tax levy cannot II short of twenty mills. Ex-Senator Leslie, who put in an upjaranco in Barnwell .county, it was loughtfor the purpose oL ag»in"getting to the legislature, to xitge through cerin bills, did not meet with a prompt coguition of all his plans, and suddenly turned to New York; he'is expected tck about the time the legislature eets. It was uery.gencrnlfy reported lat a call for a new'clection in Barnwell ould be flatly refused, if any vacan' was made by resignation of either of ie present members. This may have »en hitting the mark in the "bulls c," from the grumbling in certain jarters, it is known ihat it did not suit. The admission, as a medical 6tudcnt the South Carolina University, »of icrctary of state, Hon. II. E. Hayne, as brought about the long, expected isis in that institution, and many linortant changes arc taking place. It as too much for the old time element, ad a majority of the professors have regned. Their places arc to be filled at a early date, and applicants for position re numerous. The trustees are firm in leir deter a. iuation to make no distinoon on account of color. Finances remain about the same as eforc reported, with but little prospect f any immediate improvement. Curjncy is scarce, the banks aro embarrassi to furnish means to move the crop, Dd in consequence comparatively little atton finds its way to market. The tate treasury is more than empty and bose holding claims against it might as 'ell lay them away for the future, keep asy, and not worry the -treasurer to eath ; lie has done all he could to meet be most urgent demand.

A plan is n foot ,»o erect cotton mills on the icxiiigtofi side of the river, in opposion to the Sprague, or Water PowerCouinny's projects. There may be some vcly tinges over this subject in thclegisiturc thy; winter. The attempt to get bill through allowing the building of a aui across the river nearer the city, will robably be made very soon after the lectin^ of the regular session. lLilikomnj li n un Kaa/xiiia/iniln frn/ninnl J IUU|>V IV/O I1U»V MVV.WIIIV VjUlVK.

The caterpillar made way with nost of the leaves, but the leavelcss talks on most of the islands, report says, re loaded with bolls, the worm having truck a little too late to do the greatest atnagc. From all sources oP inforniaion it is safe to estimate the crop at omething less than two thirds of that f last year. A few of the plantots on klisto and Wodmalaw, are favored with etter crops than those of last year; ticse, however, are exceptions. The sports of shipments, and the demand, rospcct, notwithstanding the financial rash, warrant an encouraging outlook, n the neighborhood of Beaufort, it is stiniated that the catcrpidar has reuced the crop fully oue half, and of tat remaining, the proportion of yellow jtton is very large. But little cotton as found its way to this market during ie week past, owing to the low prices, ad the other reasons above named. THE LOJiO AGO. ~ j Ob! a wonderful stream is the river of Time, As it runs through the realms of years, With a faultless rhythm and a musical chime, And a broader sweep, and a surge sublime As It blends with the Ocean of tears. How the wintcraare drifting like flakes of snow. And the summers like buds between, And the ears in the sheaf how they come and go. H On the river's breast with its ebb and Its flow. As it glides lu tbesbadow and sheen. There's a magical Isle in that river of Time Where the softest of airs are playing, There's a cloudless sky and a tropical clime, And a song sweet as a Vesper chime, ji And the junes with the roecs, are staying. C< And tlie name of that Isle, is "the Long Ago," And we bury o r treasures there. There are brows of beauty, and bosoms of snow, There are heaps of dust, but \<e loved them so, There are trinkets and tresses of hair. There are fragments of songs that nobody sings. And a nart of an infant's prayer, J There's alute (inswept,and a harp without strings, There are broken vows and pieces of rings. And the garments she used to wear. Thcreare hands tbatare waved whoa the fairy shore By the mirage is lifted in air.

Professors Barnwell, Labordc, Tulleyand Gibbe, of the South Carolina University,

have within a short time resignedtheir chairs. The more or less directcause of this action may be found in thefact that Henry K. Hayne, secretary of

state, has applied for tuition in the medicaldepartment Mr. Hayne is a young

colored man of good character, manners

amd appearance. He could withoutobjectton,doubtless, obtain admission to some

of the best medical schools of the country.His desire for instruction is commendable,especially in view of the fact

that lie has been promiuent and successAllin> politics, and could without doubt

count upon an easier support from a devotionto the interests of his party ratherthan the laborious profession he has

chosen. The action of the professors is to

our mind very silly. They did not declineto hold positions from a board of trustees

partly composed of colored men; theythought it no degradation to be supportedby a legislature composed mainly of coloredmen ; they would quite willingly receive

their salaries from Mr. Cardozo, acolored man; but they shrink from teaching

a colored man the mysteries of medicino.

THE SHORTEST LINE.

W. W. Love, in the Western (N. C.)Expositor, gives a number of figures to

prove that Chicago, Illinois, Louisville,Ky., Vefay, Indiana, and Cincinnati,Ohio ; will all be nearer Knoxville,Cleveland and Chattanooga,Tennessee 'r Dalton, Athens, Macon,Augusta and Savannah, Ga ; Anderson,Abbeville, Aifcen and Tort Iloyal,S. C ; via Wheeler's Gap, Knoxvilleand the Rabun Gap, than by any lineof railroad that can ever be constructed

through Cumberland Gap aud alongthe Valley of the French Broad.His figures makes the distance ao

follows :

Louisville, (via London,Wheeler's Gap, Knoxville,Franklin, Clayton,and Walhalla) to Augusta, 514 miles

Augusta to Port lioyal, 115 miles

Total, 629 milesShorter by S3 miles than the line bymKorla ml fj»n and French road.

which ignores Knoxville, leaving it 42miles to the west.131 miles nearer

than the line via Wheeler's Gap,Knoxville and the French Broad.137 miles shorter than the line by wayof Nashville, Atlanta and Augusta.It is the shortest line that can be foundbetween Chicago, Vevay, Louisville,or Cincinnati, and salt water in a

South Atlantic port, and that port, or

harbor, which, for capaciousness anddepth of water, has no equal on theSouth Atlantic coast. The GreatEastern can enter it with as muchease as a surf boat can enter the unluckilybarred harbor of Charleston,whose bar is as hurtful in time of peaceas it has been valuable in time of war.The "Rabun Gap Short Line Railway"is a link in the shortest surveyed

line from Chicago, Louisville, Vevay,or Cincinnati, to Augusta, Port lioyaior Savannah, eighty three miles. Itshortens the line to Macon by 42 miles.It is the shortest line to Greenwood,It is a continuation of the shortestline to K'noxvine. n puis jvuoxviue

at the end of a line whose freightsand traffic, and the value of whose

stock, must soon afler completion,equal, if not surpass, the value aud

importance of the "Western & Atlanta*,"a short road 138 miles, payiugover $25,000 per month. It bringsAnderson, Abbeville, Hartwell, Clarkvilleand Athens, prominently intothe railroad world It supplies nearlyevery demand of northwestern SouthCarolina and northeast Georgia forrailroads. It lies in the very heart ofthe mineral region of Western NorthCarolina. It is the direct line fromChicago, etc., to the centre of the ricelields of the South.to tbe land- oforanges.to West Indies.to SouthAmerica.From the top of the Blue Ridge

north, to the clover fields of EastTennessee, a distance of SO miles, theTennessee river has au average fall ofnearly fourteen fat.no one mile fallingaa much as thirty feet. At the topot the Blue Ridge, in the Rabun Gap,the depression ia more than 200 feetbelow Asheville, and by at least 550feet the lowest gap south of Virginia.

The Rural Carolinian..A New Volume.

The October number of this trulyvaluable Illustrated Agricultural Monthly

in promptly at hand. The numberbefore us, which commences the FifthVolume,shows unmistakable evidencesof improvment. Its pages contain thousual ainouut of usetul and practical informationfor the agriculturist, thehorticulturist, and the home circle. It

should have a place in every Southern. farmers' home, not only as au invaluable

counsellor in the daily farm work, but ]as a fireside companion to the household.The publishers announce their purpose ^

of offering a premium Chromo to suh-scribers. They have selected two beautifulSix Dollar Ohroioos for that purpose.Subscibers will be entitled to a choice ofcither of them on complying with theterms.a years' subscription paid up in *hadvance, together with two dollars for a 'lu

Chromo.. This is a new enterprise for a

Southern publication, and wc hope its bl;projectors will be amply rewarded fortheir praiseworthy undertaking. The *hCbromos will be ready for deliver}' early ofin December. thThe publishers are desirous of organ- <Jl

izing an efficient corps of canvassers in ^every County ol eac h of the Southern 11States, to whom they will allow liberal tlicommissions. Those willing to under- I*take the duties arc requested to makeearly application to the publishers atCharleston. S. C. 1"

m tliDIRECT TRADE WITH THE SOUTH. i.

toFor more than twenty-five years wc

have persistently advocated the policy of rc

direct trade between Europe aud the re

Southern portion of the United States. Ik\V« have always found innumerable m

arguments in favour, and not oue against .

tins policy Some twelve years ago, in t,!

a speech at St. James's Hall, inljondou, w

while discussing the "causes and con- cjsequences of the war" then raging, we tj,made the somewhat startling statement .

that "every bale of cotton raised in theSouth was clipped thirteen times on its c\

dwindling way to Manchester." And <pwe gave this as one of the causes ofSouthern discontent, which culminated .

in the Secession War. Wc have always ,c

contended that a protective tariffs had s<

more to do in bringing 011 that great hisectional conflict than abolition. The C1South was a producing, and the North a

manui'utuiing and trading country. A P

large portion of every bale of cotton w

went into tbe pockets of Northern com- ai

uiissi ju merchants, bankers, and ship- sjowners; while the goods that came backfrom ESrope in exchange were taxed all 81

the way from the mill abroad to the ai

plantat.011 at home. And thus indirect tltrade burnt the planter's candle at both (jends. Strange as it may seem to thepractical political economist, this mostimpolitic state of things still exists, not- hwithstand ng the feeling of hostility that 0

still remains in the South against their ntrading conquerors in the North. Butthe feeling in favour of direct trade withEurope, as we chance to know, every- a

where exists south of "Mason and a

Dixon's Line," and is daily growing gmore and more intense. The people are .1

fully alive to their own interest iu thisrespect, and they are giving it practical w

expression in the shape of cotton mills e;

and other manufactories, which are Jspringing up iu all Southern States. The t]difficulty lias bccu want of means toestablish regular intercourse by steamwith Europe. They have some of the u

best ports in the world, hut no ships, aand no money to build them. We are pglad to sec that an energetic effort isbeing made to induce a line of ships to a

run between Liverpool and Port Royal, r<

one of the finest ports on the'Atlantic t<coast. In fact, there can hardly be conoeiveda more attrctive port for commercethan Port Royal, where the largestships in the world can enter at all states Pof'the tide without a pilot. Wo will c

quote a brief description of it from high t(authority "Port Royal is one of threefir.->t-class ports on the Atlantic coast 11

south of Newport, It. I., the others I1heiugNeWTork aTjCh-Qicsapeake Bay. a'

By anrst-clas8 port I mCnp one into aiwhich any vessel yet built cuter.'The entrance is casj', and is »owv wellmarked by buoys so placed that it. is a

to know by personal inspection that '>

these bvoys are correctly placed.'' tiPort Royal is so situated, holding the j

position marked out lbr it by nature as

the true port rov .1 of the South, thatvessels of all nations may safely repair toit w ithout fear or inquiry into their size 11

or draught." This beautiful haven is 0in the State of South Carolina, bordering T

to grow up, and that rapidly. The folilowing facLs and figures will show that pPort Koval cannot fail to become a great |jcentre ofcommerce. The location com- jflpels it. For example, the distance fromAtlanta to New York is '.'*2 miles, while a

from Atlanta to Port Royal it is but 281 dmiles. From Chattanooga to New York pit is 844 miles, while to Port Royal it is tless than half the distance-but 418 miles.From Nashville to Now York it is 1,153miles, while to Port Royal it is but 5»'>8 hmiles, again less than half. From St. yJjouis, the centre of converging roads _(from the West, embracing a vosttcrrito1ry not surpassed, if equalled in produc- 11

, tivoness by any in the tforld, the distanc, dU> Port Royal is 255 miles shorter than hto New York. Even from the high j,n rthoru point ofOmaha, thejunction ofthe railway to the Pacific coast, the routeto Port KoyTrNsiilj lulled shorter thanthat to New York. The following tahlcshows the distances of the important j.ficighting centres named, from the two

Mports, in contrast:.

THE LOJiO AGO.~ j

Ob! a wonderful stream is the river of Time,As it runs through the realms of years,

With a faultless rhythm and a musical chime,And a broader sweep, and a surge sublimeAs It blends with the Ocean of tears.

How the wintcraare drifting like flakes of snow.And the summers like buds between,

And the ears in the sheaf how they come and go. HOn the river's breast with its ebb and Its flow.As it glides lu tbesbadow and sheen.

There's a magical Isle in that river of TimeWhere the softest of airs are playing,

There's a cloudless sky and a tropical clime,And a song sweet as a Vesper chime, jiAnd the junes with the roecs, are staying.

C<And tlie name of that Isle, is "the Long Ago,"And we bury o r treasures there.

There are brows of beauty, and bosoms of snow,There are heaps of dust, but \<e loved them so,There are trinkets and tresses of hair.

There are fragments of songs that nobody sings.And a nart of an infant's prayer, J

There's alute (inswept,and a harp without strings,There are broken vows and pieces of rings.And the garments she used to wear.

Thcreare hands tbatarewaved whoa the fairy shoreBy the mirage is lifted in air.

And wcsometimeshear thiough the turbulent roar, 0
