We have received the following communica tioD, which explain the origin of the difficulty between the faculty and a portion of the stu dents of Dickinson College who absented them selves without the consent of the faculty from class duties on the 26th ult., to participate in the rejoicings over the fifteenth amendment: "The collision between the faculty and the f tudents of the Junior and Sophomore classes of Dickinson College had its inception in an appa rent trifle. The excitement of all citicens of Car lisle incident to the novelty of the procession of the late enfranchised on the 2Cth ltlmo, was felt by the students as well. "Unfortunately for the classes of '71 and 72,' however, a recitation hour was coincident with the march, and rather than miss the show, with two or three exceptions, they all stayed out from the lecture-room. In coses of similar in dividual actioD, the laws and regulations of the institution provide that 'upon the minus record shall be entered five marks for every nnexcused absence from recitation, lecture, or private datamation.' For the offense in question, the absentees claimed the penalty of five minus ma-ki- under the statute, and were willing to accept three in addition, the mark for misde meanor. "On the other .hand, the faculty construed the action of the students as a combination, and proceeded to discipline them under the auth rity granted in the provision of laws, etc., that 'for high offenses the student shall receive such number of minus marks as the faculty shall direct.' Under high offenses in the code are ranked 'class combinations for unlaw ful purposes.' Such tho authorities construed the failure to attend recitation on the afternoon Of the 2Gth to be, and accordingly they assessed Aiinus marks equally upon the members of the two classes, the maximum number assessed upon any one member being 500. The unequal as sessment, some receiving 50, others 500, cer tainly was a treatment of the members as indi viduals, and the sequel showed that the 500 fell upon some of the best students. This led to a respectful remonstrance, which was heeded by a reduction of the maximum numbrr to 300, whereupon the classes did combine, and sub mitted to the faculty in writing an acknow ledgment of wrong-doing, expressed a willing ness to therefor suffer eight minus marks, as punishment for individual absence, but firmly refuted to attend further to any college duties antll 300, the penalty for alleged class eomblna tien, should be reducer to 8 minus marks, the penalty for individual action. Thereupon the high offense of rebellion was added to the charger, and a copy of the following handed to each offender: "Dickinson Coi.i.kok, Carlisle, Pa., May 8, 1610 Mr. . My DearHlr I call your attention to the annexed resolution of the faculty: "Heotted, That the President announce to the members of the Sophomore and Junior Classes that any members of those clauses who shal aiisent himself from recitations on Monday, May a without sufficient excuse, presented d iring the same day to the President, shall be and is hereby suspended from college until the first Thursday ef 8. ptt-mbernext, to be restored at the end of that time only on making satisfactory acknowledgment to the faculty, and that any student so suspended la required to leave town for home on Tuesday, Mav 8. before B 20 P. M.. under Denaltr of exoul. slop. R. L. Dasuiill, President. t Cif ablis F. Hinks, Secre tary. ("The Executive Committee ant? resident members of the Board of Trustees met last even ing committees from the classes and the faculty to effect a compromise. The effort proved abortive. Each party adhered to its own theory, the faculty to the hypothesis of class combina tion, the students to that of individual action. "The time for departure has been extended twenty-four hours to any student who cannot sooner make arrangements to leave. Each train as It has rolled away has borne a squad home ward; some determined never to return, many doubtful, while "the girl I left behind me" and cLerii-hed memories twitch the heart-strings of not a few who will be drawn back by com mencement week to make arrangements for re rurnin in September. Senior. Carlisle, Pa., May 4, 1870." By a def patch from Harrlsburg last evening, we learn that there has been no compromise of the difficulty, and that a number of the students passed through that city during the day on their way home. The New York World of yesterday has the following article upon the subject, with reference to a similar rebellion In the same in stitution some years ago: 41 he rebellion in Dickinson College, announced ly telegraph aud published lu yesterday's World, recalls a somewhat similar occurrence, just fourteen years ago, in the same institution. A series of college pranks had been perpetrated. sand so well arranged had been the precautions Wgalnst clscovery that the culprits believed themselves perfectly secure, when suddenly, nd without a note of warning, three or four earners oi me souuoinoro cmno feccivcu iciiers f emulsion. Thev and their companions ere overwhelmed with astonishment. Thev were eolltv: bat bow did the tacuitv nna it at? What had been the evidence? when and where had been the trial? If such thunder bolts could be burled from an apparently cloudless my, no oue was safe. Accordingly, the class at ouce stood on their dlirnitv souho- luores are never without plenty of that and made a very formal protest that they would attend no more reeltatlons till the expellees were reinstated. aiemoers el other daises were drawn into the rebellion, until all but a handful oi the students were arrayed against the autho jUiee. J6ttj; te say, the students gained their point; the punlthment of the delinquents was commuted, and no one was made to suffer for instigating or leading the insurrection. It was a complete triumph of rebellion, and it is doubtful if the college, under that adminis tration, ever recovered Its loss of dignity and prestige. Dickinson College has a new President, and its corps of professors has almost entirely changed since 1850. It remalus to be seen bow the new administration will bear Itself under circumstances of great perplexity. Doubtless It is a too common fault of American schools that the pupils are treated like children who are not to be trusted outside of very narrow limits. This is especially the case in denomina tional schools where clergymen preponderate among the instructors. The doctrine of total depravity is made a practical element in the governmental policy, and vexatious rnles and a system of espisonage are relied upon more than seems right in tho education of honorable, self reliant men. Nevertheless, however it may be in this case, rules should be enforced until re pealed, and they cannot, without danger for the future, be repealed or modified under threats or in response to demands. Empty benches can be refilled. Life 1b too short for the recovery of dignity." THE SMYTHE GIN AND MILK. Curious Report from aa Investigating- Commit teeThe Kebnke and Ilovr the Rev. Minythe Took It. The New York Sun of this morning says: The trial of the person who styles himself the Rev. Charles B. Smythe was resumed yesterday morning at 9 o'clock by the Presbytery In the Eleventh Street Prcsbjterlsn Church. After prayer the committee appointed to review the evidence handed in their re port They found : 1. That the accused, having Invited two gentle men to take lunch with htm on Sabbath, April 10, 1870, conducted them for this eud to a restaurant, in which is kept a bar for the sale of intoxicating liquors. 8. That in the course of the repast the accused called for and drank or sipped a quantity of gin and milk, one of bis guests, In like manner, obtaining and drinking a glass of ale, and the other calling for and disposing of a pitcher of gin and milk. This, too, occurred at a time when to sell intoxicating drinks on the Sabbath was a violation of the law of the St ate. 8. That the bill Incurred In the entire entertain ment was paid by the accused, although not on the Sabbath. 4. That although the company was seated In a pri vate room, no blessing was asked, at least audibly or apparently, on the repast. 6. That the accused, In accordance with a promise made to one of his guests, a reporter for the tiun newspaper, sent his son on the afternoon of the Sabbath in question to aid him in deciphering or writing out the notes or manuscript of the sermon preoched by the accused on said day. EXTBNCATINO CIKCUMHTANCB8. First. That the accused did not ask either of his guests to take any intoxicating drink. If they called for any beverage of that nature, they did so, not by virtue of any specltic invitation by him, but on the presumption that his general question, "What will you have ?" warranted them to do so. Second. The accused appears to have been labor ing at the time alluded to under a considerable degree of physical exhaustion. Third. The quantity of gin used by him on the occasion seems to have been not large. Fourth. There has been no evidence presented to justiry tne Denei mat trie accusea ex limited on the occasion any Bymptoms of Intoxication. BALANCING all these matters, and taking a survey of all the evi dence In this case, we cannot but think that the soe- ciflcatlocs extracted from a newspaper of this city, and embodied in the complaint, are, In a variety of respects, inconsistent with truth, and calculated to convey aa unjust Impression of the deportment or the accused. But at the same time eaough has been admitted or established by testimony to prove that tne accusea aciea in a VKKY UNBECOMING MANNER on the occasion referred to la the complaint. Not only does lie appear to nave transgressed the law of the Sabbath, but also to have acted a part reprehen sible on other grounds ; and left at liberty by our ecclesiastical law to take into account not merely the specific charge preferred, but also the sins which may Incidentally be proved in the course of Investigation, we shall call attention to some of these as well .as to the main charge. First. By resorting to a restaurant In which liquor is sold the accused acted at least Indiscreetly, affording, as he thereby did, an occasion foe evil surmising and suspicion. As it appears he knew beforehand that he could not return to his home for necessary refreshments, he should have made arrangements for taking luntsh in some place where he would not have been exposed to the imputations referred to, or have laid a stumbling-block in tho way of others. Second. In calling for GIN the accused was guilty, we apprehend, of tempting the barkeeper or proprietor of the restaurant to violate the law of the state. Third. It may be fairly questioned whether he did right in resorting to giu to sustain him. Whatever may be said on the abstract question as to the pro priety of using such a drink under any circum stances, we deem It at least as wry perilous for a man ito resort to such stimulants according to his own Ideas or utility or necessity. Fourth. The conduct of the accused was calcu lated to countenance them in UBINO INTOXICATING CHINKS, even without the plea of special exhaustion. In view, however, of the ruin which Intemperance Is causing In the world, a minister of the Gospel should be exceedingly careful to avoid lending any sanction to the use of intoxicating liquors as a beve rage, lie, above all others, should bewara of placing A STUMBLING BLOCK in the way of his fellow-men. In view of all theso considerations, we recommend the adoption of the Xollowlngao'ion, namely: First. That while the specifications contained In the complaint preferred against Kev. C. B. Smythe have in a variety of particulars not been proved ; and while there Is reason to believe that said specif! sa tlons are in a considerable degree exaggerations and distortions of facts, yet In the judgment or the Pres bytery the conduct of the accused, In the cose which has been ander investigation, is censurable, as having been inconsistent with a proper regard for the sac-redness of the Sabbath ; with that CBKISTIAK mUDKNCB which dictates the avoidance, as far as may be, of the appearance of evil ; and with that tenderness of conscience and love for men which prompted the ehowing of any deportment calculated to encourage or countenance ethers in sin. Second. That for the offenses now enumerated the censure known In our Book of Sacrifices as "re buke" be administered to accused, and that he be solemnly warned to guard hereafter not only against the sins which have brought upon blm THIS OBAVI CBKSVRS, and npon the Church and cause of Christ so much reproach, but slso against everything at variance with his standing as a professed Christian. Third. That on the submission of the accused to the decision now Indicated, and on his engaging to walk by the grace of (iod more circumspectly in the future, the case be entirely dismissed. The report was received and discussed eerlatim, though running commentaries were made upon the w hole ease. After some sparring among the divines who thought he did not show euougti contrition, oue re marked that be would rather not call that a libellous article in the Sun, because TBI FACTS HAVE BKIN PROVED. Mr. Smythe then agreed to say : "I am sorry that I have committed the sins or offenses that lUs Pres bytery find that I bare been guilty of." This pill was prepared by the Doctors, and Mr. Em y the swallowed it with a wry face. The ayes and noes were called on the adoption of the sentence, and was carried by six ayes to one no. Dr. Kind lay, tli Moderator, requested that an older man be selected to carry out the seateucs of the court, aud Dr. Harper was appointed. THB) KEBUKB. Brother Smythe, said Dr. IJarper.the circumstances In which we are placed at this moment are very Boienia and serious. You have been declared guilty of an offense which to many may appear light aud fri volous. Having, however, the Word of God as eur standard, It la the Judgment of this Presbytery that jeur conduct was reprehensible in the eyes of God SDd man. It has been prejudicial to tho cause of Christ and to the good morals of the commuaity at Urge. we bave come to the conclusion that yon have violated the Sabbath and the cause of religion tn g enrral. Your conduct was not of that ehartotor to avoid the appearance of evil; you could have shunned that place; yon were guilty In couutenano lcg what was wrong the sale o( Intoxicating drinks I tUtrebjeaco waging oluers; yen tempted outers to violate a law of the Bute, and gave them a pre text to do so. You have brought discredit to the Church, grieved It sorely; even the headings of the newspapers indi cate a sneer nnder apparent praise. Would to God that I had language to convey conviction to your heart! I sincerely trust that you will be more cir cumspect In tho future. Examlnn yourself and im plore God to lead you In the right way ; In which, God grant, you will forever walk In the future. This is my fervent prayer. Mr. fmytbe received the rebuke with head bent in so attitude of deep contrition, while the slowly enun ciated words fell on the ears of all In the most serious and solemn manner. AN CNMITIGATED BUMBDO. Speaking editorially of the result or the Investiga tion the Sun says : It Is not too much to say or the lie v. Mr. Smythe that be is one or the most unmiti gated humbugs In this city, ir the Church were to lose his services altogether, it would probably gain by the event. RAILROAD NOTES. Kallwnv Intercut la Pennsylvania and the West Varloan Ileum ol lalerest. The Pennsylvania Kail road Company have de termined to build the railroad from Uollidaysburg to the Gap. The engineers are now locating the road, and It la determined to commence the work in May and have the road completed some time in Sep tember next. The payment of $10,000 of the sub scriptions of our citizens is to be made on the 1st of May. and the balance of t'20,000 to be paid in Instal ments of 3000 on the first of each month there after. Among the important projected lines In Pennsyl vania IS that from Mount Morris. N. Y.. thronirh brMunda, to the Erie Railway and the coal mines of Northwestern Pennsylvania. This will be a con tinuation of the Genesee Valley Koad, ami called tne "Rochester, Munda, and Pennsylvania Kail way." Another road to lead from Rochester, throngh Warsaw, to the Erie Railroad, at cala manco, and thence soatherly to Warren, Pa, is In contemplation. The SharpsvlUe, Wheatland, Sharon, and Green field Railroad of Mercer county, Pa., has been In corporated, with a number of gentlemen from the western part of Mercer county as corporators. Tho capital stock is fixed at $(,000 at a share, with power to Increase as much as may be deemed neces sary to carry out the full Intent of the charter. On the subscription of 600 shares an organization of the company is authorized. The proposed road runs south from SharpsvlUe through Sharon to Wheat land Furnaces, crossing State street in Sharon at Its intersection with SharpsvlUe street or any more suitable point. The Greenfield branch commences In Sharou and ruus up Pine Run to Keel Ridge, and thence to Greenfield. The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad Company Is Issuing 13,000,000 of third mortgage bonds, to raise the funds to put Its road Into a II rat class condition for a first clasB road cempletiug the bridge over the Ohio at Parkersburg, shortening the Hue thence to the Big Hoi king, straightening the line through the tunnel on the north side of Athens, etc Ttu. Balti more and Onlo will make Its main line by the way of Parkersburg, Instead of Wheeling. The Hoard or Directors or the Cleveland, Colum bus and Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railway, at their last meeting, raised the wages or their passen ger conductors to $123 per month, and have done away with all the patent "checks" upon con ductors' receipts. The object Is to place a man in circumstances beyond the necessity or being a rogue thus cultivating, by the removal or suspi cious checks, a high sense or honor and honesty. Illinois has now eoou miles or railroad (or which P000 are open for business), costing, with the equip ment, 1120,000,000. The work of grading the Marietta and Pittsburg Railroad is being pushed forward rapidly since spring opened, and the prospect now Is that the road bed wUl be completed and ready for the superstruc ture by the 1st of June; General Warner, when at Baltimore, made arrangements for locomotives and cars, to be delivered by the 1st of August. The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad will also lay a track on the bridge which crosses the Muskingum, between Marietta aud Harmar, to connect with the Duck Creek Road. A mortgage of the Indianapolis and Illinois Railroad Company has been died in Indianapolis for the Union Trust Company of New York, to secure 12,760,000 of the first mortgage bouds of the road. WALES. The Heir te the Throne Again In Court Ntwm puper "Miinderi" on Dlsitntfulsueu persona.. JTrem the Pall Hall Gazette, April 21. V) In the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday Sir John Karslake applied on behalf of the Karl and Countess of Sefton for a rule nisi for a criminal information against Mr. Long, printer, pub lisher, and part proprietor of the Shellield Daily Telegraph, for libel, the substance of which was, that the Prince of Wales was likely to be again mentioned in the Divorce Court as a co-respondent in a case in which the Countess of So f ton would be the respondent. The following affi davits were filed in court and referred to as the grounds of the application: Affidavit of Albert Edward, Prince of. Wales, of Marlborough House, Middlesex, sworn the 14th of April, 1870, states as follows: First. I have read the paragraph in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph. Second. I was never guilty of the slightest impro priety with the said Countess of Seftou, and there is ii ot the slightest foundation or pretext for the state ment that 1 am likely to be mentioned in the Divorce Court as a cb-respondent In a case by the Jiarl of Sefton against the Countess. Third. I know nothing of, and I cannot conceive of anything which could have suggested or given rise to such a statement. The joint affidavit of the Earl and Countess of Sefton stated: First. We have read the paragraph in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph. Second. We were married on the 18th of July, 1666. Third. We bave lived together from the date of our marriage down to the present time in perfect harmony aud affection, and we bave three children. Fourth. There is not the slightest shadow of foundation or pretext for the statement above set forth, as contained In the Sheffield Telegraph. VUth. And I, the said Earl, for inysslf say I know or nothing, aad canuot conceive or anythlsg which could have suggested or given rise to suck a state ment. Sixth. Aid I, tho said Countess, for myself say tkat I know of nothing aad cannot conceive of aay thisg which conld bave suggested or given rise to such a statement. Seventh. There kas never been the slightest Im propriety of any kind between his Royal Highness the l'rinee of Wales and myself. Kglith, And wo, the said Sari and Countess, say that we cannot loek npoa the said statement as any thing but a wicked falsehood aad ralumay. Sir John Karslake said that, though some sort of apology had been made or offered, the Earl of Sefton felt that It was his duty to apply to the court tor a criminal lniormauon against the proprietor. The Lord Chief Justice said, with emphasis, "Most certainly, Sir John Karslake, take a rule." ATTEMPTED ESCAPE. Dow a Countable Held a PrUaaor at the Ex pruae ol Ilia uwm Jleauiv. Officer John Savage, says the Chicago Republican of Tuesday, had a rougu time in tne jail yard at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was conveying a stout looking bully named Michael Hart who had just been committed to jail by Justice Dresser, for causing the advent or an unlicensed candidate for the residency to tne jaii.wnen tne prisoner, incited by some "friends," made an effort to get away. Before be tried the game of force Savage asserts that Hart attempted to bribe bun with a 15 bill. Finding that bis pacific overtures for release were not acceded to, Mr. Hart dealt Savage a dreadful du utolisher on the proboscis. The blow made that organ quite Invisible for a moment or two, but it grew out lu a minute until it resembled tho famoos nasal In Tristram Shandy. Not satisfied with this great exploit. Hart followed up but success, aad dealt Savage a few mero "straight-cuts" which would have done credit to the F. R. vavage, half-blladed, bothered, bloated, and fifty-three years old, gripped the ruffian with both bands by the collar and shoved klm before him to wards the jail. Half a cosen women followod no the twain as they crossed aad fought along the whole walk towards the court-house steps. Hart "Let go of me I" Savage "i m an officer! Help ! murder police! poM-ce pol Sheriff I Oh, I'm murderod entirely I take that 1" as he threw Mr. Hart down the jail steps with smazlug celerity. Constable Savage washed his face and pulled his nose straight. Mr. Hart was locked up In a dark cell where his meailfttlojn anything but those of aa anchorite. SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

The company is now in need of money for the purchase of addi tional rolling stock and for the full equipment of the road, and for the purpose of raising the required amount they offer tSOO.OOO of the second mortgage seven per cent, bonds at and accruing interest. This road is destined to be the great outlet for the coal trade of Penn sylvania, and it is calculated that, passing as it does through a rich and populous country, the way trallic of itself will yield a handsome proQt. Only six miles are now required to complete the road to Birdsboro, and this will be finished by the middle of this month.

The Great Fugitive Slave Cases, and How they were Disposed of. To-day closes the existence, as an organiza tion, of tbe Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, and in commemoration of the various reforms which have been accomplished by it during the past thirty-two years, two meetings will beheld, one in the afternoon and the other in the eve ning, at tho Assembly Buildings. Thejexercises at the latter will be of a particularly Interesting character, as at it several who were present at its organization under the presidency of Daniel Neill, Esq., and who to this day have been ener getic and faithful workmen in its behalf, will deliver addresses. The Prominence Attained by this society in national affairs warrants, at our bands, the reprodnction of many of the hard-fought battles through which it bu passed for the cause of humanity, and we therefore publish tbe following compilation, paying espe cial attention to the fugitive slave cases in which the society manifested so deep an Interest. The Antl-Mavery Movements. Prior to the year 1833, and dating back to the formation of the Government, there had been in existence an association known as the Aboli tion Society. Its avowed object was the eleva tion of the colored people, and the protection of persons illegally detained in bondage. In this organization there were many who believed in going a step further, and accordingly in 1833 a convention was held in this city, the American Anti-Slavery Society was organ ized, and its first demand was the immediate emacipation of the slave. Auxiliary societies were formed, and la January, 1837, a meeting was held in Harrlsburg, which resolved itself Into the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. During the same year tho State Convention, authorized by an act of the Legislature, assembled in this city, and after a long and exciting debate, which consumed several days, the Constitution of the State was amended by inserting The Word "White" in the clause relative to the qualification of voters. The proceedings of this body with reference to this question were closely watched by the society, and the proposed amendment was manfully opposed by Thaddeas 8tevens, who was a delegate. Tbe society up to 183S had been meeting around in spots, aud by the combined exertions of the members a stock company was formed, and Pennsylvania Hall was erected at the corner of Sixth and Haines streets, the site of the present Odd Fellows Hall, at a cost of $40,000. it was completed in the early part of May and was dedicated on the IRth, with Interesting ceremonies. The programme Included a poem by Whittler. On the same day a crowd of those opposed to the organization collected around the building, and, after groaning tbe society, defaced the structure with stones. On tbe afternoon of the 17th of May, a large meeting of about 500, Including whites and blacks, was held. It was the Intention of the members to have held another meeting on that sight, but fearing that violence would be done them, It was not convened. Early In the even-. Ing, large crowds began collecting In the vicinity, aud towards 10 o'clock tho excitement ran high. Incendiary speeches were made, and stones again thrown. Jast before 10 o'clock aa attack was made on the structure. The doors were broken in, and the windows demolished. In a few minutes Flames Were Neen Rushing from the lower stories and shortly thereafter the eutire building was in flames. Although those who were engaged In this dastardly business were but few in numbers, no attempt was made by the immense crowd to frustrate their wicked designs, no doubt thinking that to object was worth their lives, by midnight the smouldering ruins were all that was left of Pennsylvania Hull. Ou the next day another excited mob col lected, and proceeded to the libeller for Colored Orphans, on Thirteenth street, above CallowbUl, to which they applied the torch, and it, like Pennsylvania Hall, was burned to the ground. Several fire companies attempted to go into service, but they were driven off by the mob. During the fummers of 1839, '40, and '41 there were occa sional disturbances occasioned by attacks made on the colored people, and in 1842 there was a general riot in the vicinity of Eighth and South streets. The negroes were attacked, and In addi tion to personal violence inflicted the mob turned down the African Presbyterian Church on St. Mary street, aud Smith's Hall, on Lom bard f treet. This latter building was erected by Mr. Stephen Smith for the accommodation of his black brethren. Meetings were held here nightly, and the feeling ran so high that Judge C'ourad declared it a nuisance. Affairs now raa on smoothly until 1849, when another riot was indulged in, the negroes again suffering by the demolition of what was then known as the 'California House." Despite all these drawbacks, the Anti-Slavery Society continued in its work for the emancipa tion of the slave, and flooded the country with printed documents with reference to the subject. They also published the "fennsylvauU Freemti, a weekly journal, since merged Into the ArUi Slavery Standard, which was edited at times by Whittier, Lowell, Burleigh, and others. Tho Positive Hlave Cases. Prior to the passage of the Fugitive Slave law in 1850 tbe courts were bnt little troubled with fugitive slave cases, and tbe Anti-Slavery Society, though not content by any means, were actively engaged in tbelr work of tbe emanci pation of the slaves. Tbe passage of that law on the 18tU of September, I860, and its dis graceful but legitimate results, have affixed a lOfntiawo m Ik Amoso ntge
