South Carolina papers contain details of the recont terrible riot t Columbia Col lege, on the night of the lTtbult. -A party of students who had a grudge against the Chief of Police made a murderous assault npon him on the street, badly injuring him. One of the students had his skull split open The chief was conveyed by some of his friends to the guard-house, upon which an attack was soon made by some 1 SO studentsu armed with knives, clubs, and pistols. The chief was again badly beaten and stab bed, and was then thrown out of the sec ond story window. The alarm bell was rung, and tlie citizens came together, when another conflict ensued. Six military com panies were ordered out, and were after wards stationed as guards around the guard houso and jail. One of the students has since died, and others are not expected to live. Bedell, the chief, is said also to be dead. The excitement was kept up till the 2ht, when the studeoU were still threatening revenge, and, being very active in procuring arms and ammunition, the Governor went to the college, and demand ed their arms, threatening to fire upon them if ihey refused to deliver them up. The students finally yielded, and quiet was restored. Another account says: The scene pre sented was such as Columbia never before awr. To hundred armed citizens, with guns loaded wi.h ball caUiJ, opposed to more than one hundred enrajod young nvn 'tti rifl in their Lauds. The order was ttz :a U aUr., a :e ls followed, had not Col.
