the 190th{?} Pslam of David was sung; and the
Rt. Rev. the Bishop (Elliott) of Georgia, an-
nounced the following as being the deposits in
the conrer stone:

A copy of the Canonical Scriptures--Old
and New Testament; the Book of Common
Prayer; a copy of the Constitution of the
United States of America; the constitution
and canons of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, together with proceedings of the
last convention of that body; the journals
of the Dioceses of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Texas, Kentucky and Tennessee,
forming the dioceses united in the undertaking;
a volume containing documents written in rela-
tion to the University; publications of the
Church; a copy of the Spirit of Missions; religious
newspapers of the church; Pocket Almanac,
containing list of all the Bishops and Clergy-
men of England, Ireland, Scotland and the
Continent.

The casket was then sealed and placed in
the stone, which is of native Tennessee marble,
taken from Franklin county quarry; two feet
eight inches in width, four feet in length, and
two inches high. The stone was properly ad-
justed in its place, and the ceremony of laying
the corner stone was performed by Rt. Rev.
the Bishop (Polk) of Lousiana, who began by saying:

A corner-stone is that which unites the
walls of a building, and may symbolize
strength and stability--the union of the intel-
lectual and spiritual nature of man--the em-
blem of Christ--the sure and tried corner-
stone--the wisdom of God and the power of
God!

Then striking the stone three times with a
hammer, he said:

In the name of the Holy and Undivided
Trinity! Father! Son! and Holy Ghost!
three Persons--one God, Blessed forever.
Amen.

I, Leonidas Polk, D. D., Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the diocese of
Louisiana, on this 10th day of October, and
in the year of Grace, 1860, do lay this corner-
stone of an edifice to be here erected as the
principal building of the "University of the
South"--an institution established by the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the dioceses
of Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, for the
cultivation of true religion, learning, and
virtue, that thereby God may be glorified, and
the happiness of man be advanced.

Other foundation can no man lay than that
is laid, which is Jesus Christ; the same yes-
terday, to-day and forever. God over all,
blessed forever, in whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins;
for there is none other name under Heaven
given among men whereby we must saved.

THE HOMICIDE ON EUTERPE STREET.--
Coroner Beach held an inquest, yesterday, on
the body of J. F. Wilson. The post mortem
examination by Dr. Berthelot showed that the
deceased had received one incised wound in
the side of the neck, severing the external ca-
rotid, and sufficient in itself to cause death; a
gunshot wound in the back, one inch and a
half to the left of the spine, passing obliquely
to the left and lodging in the muscles--this
wound was not fatal--twelve other incised
wounds were found in the back, four incised
wounds in the front part of the body, two
penetrating the right lung, one penetrating
the lower lobe of the left lung, also sufficient
to have produced death.

There wer so many wounds that it was
difficult to find how many besides those men-
tioned were fatal.

The following evidence was given at the
inquest:
