Whether Trinity goas to Raleigh, or to Dvto ham, or returns where it is, in the forcible and expressive lansaace of Mr. Duke :"I am fer Trinity College." The Board of Trustees of Trinity Col lege are called to meet in Durham on to-morrow (Thursday) when this whole matter will coxe np for con. tiderstion. OrjB DURHAM riACFS. .
