which have continued with tactn from the commence meut 1

thry h» muaut,lu tha *orma«f thulroriglnal proapfetua,
by a “ Female High Botieol," off. r ng “ every brunch of a
superior American Education," will be apparent to pa
rents anil guird'ans disposed t) examine their pretensiona.
Hut they would, at the prorent Junoiure, submit some
of tha ohara oterUtlra of ilioir Establishment to those to
• whom ltiu.iv n-t bo so well known.
BITE ANO CLIMATE.—Tho premises are In the bosom
ol hills on a tract of about DOO aerea of land, iu the lime
at)iia legion of t’e Slate; having a principal four-story
brick building <d Si’d 'out frontage, and 40 feet wide, with
a rumpus behind laid tn blue grass and lUukrd by two
corresponding frame houses of a story and a half, and
several double flamed cabins. Finished In 1 sill, by an
opu'eutcompany, as a watering place, no expense was
sp ired iu rendering them commodious for that purpose.
In thr nelghborhoiel are various Interesting sites and ob
jects, to wMch the pupils muke occasional cxcu sloes.
The ltailroads now approach wldiin Mil miles, and in a
short time, It Is expected will reach within IS miles of the
spot. A commodious Hotel has been established within a
few hundred yards. The excellence of the climate is at
tested hr tlio fact of the health of the pupils.
RETIREMENT The principals were chiefly Induced to
purchase those premises by the picturesque retirement
they afford—" The calm retreat and rileat shade." They
had beau long convinced lint tlio neighborhood of no con
siderable town or villager ould give ihim an equal oppor
tunity for the uninterrupted and healthy pursuit of their
natation. The Young bodies have daily exercise, uuob
(r.uledttpou by strangers or toi frequent visitors; and
form a oheoriUl largo family, strictly i ovotod to its own
pursuits.
ACCOMMODATIONS.—The intelligent parent or goar
diuti, who tins visile I the establishments devoted to female
education, North or South, Is requested to visit Umcstone
on tlio practical qio s ion, a bother any thus devoted have
stipetiiir, If equal ae'oiiietoilutloDsf A noble school room,
80 uy 40, convenient recitation and music rooms: a laho
ra ory ; :» museum of minerulogioal ami ollur objects of
natural history; s library nni literary society room; a
chapel under liieprltieipalroof—(so that all its services
can be alien Ic I without e vposure to bad weather)—are
among these accommodations.
MidULTdINOONTINUKD ANDIMPROVED HEALTH.
—The health of tlio pupils lias been uninterrupted for
eight years. There have been, tn fact, by the kinum ss of
Providence, no deaths among them, and no eases of serious
Sickness. The physiuiun's account fbr tho wholo school,
has not Averaged, during that period, fufl per unnuni.—
hast year It wis unlv |UI. Young tot diet arriving in a
lauguid and exhausted s ate of heal h return home with
well ctab ished constitutions.
gXPENIHTUK .’.B.—The Principals have labored to ob
tain tile' best Teachers In every department, anil have suf
fered no Inconvenience of occasional changes or Increased
expenditures to okstiuct them In the pursuit of this great
object. They might speak of connections, North, South
aud European, which have been plac 'd in requisition to
eeectnplien it thcirWTcrtx, they out only say, will be un
faltering nthis pout. They aspire to leaving thu School
rich iu utSdCDoo, literary and m iral, rather than to enrich
themselves, or to accomplish uuy personal or sectarian
object.
MORAL AND ItELMIOCSTRUNINU.—As at present
advi id ail convinced, the conductors of this School will
hold on their way of keeping strictly to those instructions,
miral auJ religioui. which involve no donomiuational or
sectarian pecutiai .ties, Their pupils ate taughttheentire
literature of the Ultiie; tho Geography,Chronology, Natu
ral i ctenrra. National Customs and Peculiarities, and all
the gicat principles of interpretation involved in a fair
anil saving un ‘ers'atiding of the Sacred Volume. No
moral or reiiemus pri; eiple is regarded as of light impor ■
tauce at I.lino iooe. Accept able members of all the lead
ing denomiuutior.s of the State have been found annually
teuolto them,elve , fresh from this establishment, with
the eharohes of their own iut Ihgentpre erence. Honestly
sectarian schools must quit th.s ground. Tho Teachers
must ho of the sc t preferred—■which involves iho supposi
tiou shat each sect contems the best Teachers iu each de
partment ; a supposition coutrary to the facts of this case.
Boh dastio aptitude to teach, and certainly scho'astic emi
neneearefar tiler, divided. Messrs. Ourtis have been
w.l'iitg Molitalu them wherever with n the pale ol tbs com
mon salvation they presested themselvev, and find no no

Tim NkwmMPßß.—'There is no fact mote appa
rent in this ege, nor any more important, than the
growing influence and power of the newspaper.
The editorialeorpe is becoming, nay, it ia already,
one of the great estates of the land. It ia true that
“the pen is mightier than the sword.” Whatever
msy be the controversy on which pnblic interests
depend, the first step taken by all parties is to se
cure the influence or the press. Its voice, sound
ing all over the land, speaks to no limited audi
ence, but millions bear it and ponder over its utter
ances. Steam aud the Telegraph gather from all
lands knowledge of men, manners, goverinents;
knowledge of wars, of the intrigues of diplomacy,
of commerce, of the doings of men, patriots, des
jots, statesmen; of the commonest transactions of
ifo, those which affect neighborhoods and those
which coatrol nations; of market, of art, science,
knowledge of every thing; the insatiable and an
tiring press, gathers up and scatters it, as fast and
aa far as men and steam can scatter it, broad and
free over the world. And where does it not pene
trate in this land ? In thisconntry of free thought,
of active enterprise and adventure, there is no place
beyond its reach. Ail are alike impatient for its
coming, and upon all the routes of travel, on land
and water, in the car, the steamboat, under every
roof where infelligent humanity can be found, or
for pleasure, their companion and delight is the
newspaper. It talks to the politician of parties
and offices of State, for the merchant it has the la
test commercial and business information fresh
from ail the great marts of trade in all the world :
for the agriculturist, the mechanic, for men of all
honest professions, and trades, and crafts under the
sun, it has interest and instuction.— Buffalo Com..

Chance os Gettino Married. —Fanny Fern says
she is ready to jump at the first offer of marriage,
and presents her qualifications as follows :
“I have very black eyes and hair, and am very
petite. lam as sensitive as the ‘Mimosa,’ spirited
as au eagle, and untamable as chain lightuing. Can
make a pudding or write a newspaper squib, out a
caper, and crowd more happiness or misery into
ten minutee than any Fanny that was ever christ
ened.”
Fanny has been twice married, says the N. Y.
Mirror, and only quite recently unmarried. So if
any enterpriaing bachelor editor has a fancy for
ires-sed “Fern Leavee,” here’s a fine opening for
lim.
“I ah an American Citizen.”— In a lecture re
cently delivered in Boston, by Mr. G. W. Curtis,
he told the following anecdote, according to the
Transcript:
In 1849, while sailing down the Danube in a
steamer, he was approached by a stranger—a Hun
garian—of noble appearance and impressive man
ners, who accosted Mr. Cards as an Englishman;
and when informed that he was an American, he
whispered in his ear, with marked emphasis:—
“Thon thank God! for you are protected by the
greatest, most powerful, and only free nation on
earth I”

American Steamboats on the Amazon River.—
A letter addressed to the Boston Traveller, dated
Para, Booth America, December 22, 1858, gives an
account of the trial trip of Dr. Whitmore’s new
steamers, designed to navigate the river Amazon.
Some time ago he took a ooutract from tho Peru
vian government, to furnish two or more steam
boats suitable for the navigation of the Amazon, a
treaty having been made with Brazil with this end
in view. Dr. Whitemore came to New York, con
tracted for the boats and maohinery, superintended
their construction, had them taken to pieces and
packed in a sailing vessel a- d shipped for the
month of the Amazoj ; all at his own hazard. He
then secured a sufficient number of competent me
chanics to go out with him, to put the steamers
together, and set np their machinery; and on the
day of the date of the letter, the enterprise had
boon far crowned with snocoss, that the first of
these little river boats had made its trial trip, and
appeared off Pats, some eevonty miles Dorn the
mouth of the Amazon.
It was a gala day. The city was astir with joy fnl
anticipations; and the little steamer was received
with every demonetration of satisfaction. She was
decked with flags, among which the stars and
stripes were oonspicnons, and bore a gladsome
company, some two hundred persons, who were
entertained with music and dancing, as well as
feasting, on board and on shore.
Among others, there was on boards German, on
his way to Germany, as the agent of the Peruvian
government, to see to the embarkation of two
thousand emigrants, who are to be brought ont to
Pern, np the Amazon in these steamboats, and
located along the eastern slope of the Andes.
Contemplated Fusion of the Roman Catholic
Churches The correspondent of the
London Times, writing from Vienna on Jan. 28,
sends the following important news: Improbable
as it may appear, nsgotiations are going on be
tween the Russian government and the Papal
Nuncio who resides here, for bringing abonta
fusion of the Catholic and Greek churches. The
Russian cabinet is anxious to secure the 00-opera
tion of the high Catholic party during the present
crisis, but of course when the danger is over the
negotiations will be over too. The ambition of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy will piobably induce it
to swallow the coarse bait.
Prinoe Milo6ch is with Prinoe Gortechakoff at
Knyova, and this is evidently a demonstration
against Prince Alexander, the present Hoapodar of
Servia. The telegraphic dee atches received from
Hermannstadt, which announce the fall of Siliatria,
are totally Mae. The news sf the defeat of the
Russians before Kalefat has caused a tremendous
sensation at Bucharest. The Archduchess Eliza
beth, the widow of the Duke Ferdinand of Modena,
was yesterdav bethrothed to Charles Ferdinand,
the second brother ol the Archduke Albrecht, who
is civil and military Governor of Hungary. Prince
ChaHes Ferdinand is commander of the tenth
army corps in Hungary.
Kinchafoonm Countt.— This is one of the thir
teen new counties created by the late Legislature,
and is formed, we believe, entirely out of Stewart.
The area of the oounty is not large bnt it has a
very fertile soil, and Is thickly *
very respectable class of planters, the Poet Office
of Laiinahassee, ie near the centre of the county,
and the site selected for the oonnty seat is about
two miles west of that pliee* On j 1 ? 1 ? lnßt ’ ,
the election of county offioers was held at Lanna
hassee.
The new oounty site is called Mclintosh» and is
in a pleasant and healthy location. On the lath
and 15th inste., there was a sale of the town lots,
the proceeds of which amounted to SIO,OOO. They
were generally purchased by men of business and
capital, and the prospects of the new town ere
decidedly flattering.—.fourmri and jfssswi^w.
The Census.— The time oecnpied in taking and
completing the Census of 1850, was 8 years and 5
months. In 1840 it wee published in one year
afler it was commenced. In 1880, in two years
oner it was taken. The expenses of taking Cen
sus in 1720 were $44,877. In 1800, $66,109. In
1810, $178,444. In 1850, $208,525. In 1880, $876,-
645. In 1840, $888,870. In 1850, $1,818,027. The
letter sum includes only the expenses incurred
, previous to the recant orders by Congress of sav
eral hundred thousand oepiea of an abstract of tbs
Cena.ia, which moat increase the coat of the whole
work to over » million and a halt of doUan.

The Battle or Cllale.
The London Timos gives the following particu
lars of the battle of Citute, from a private letter:—
On Friday, the oth of January, tho Turkish
troops, under the orders of lomail Pacha and
Ahmed Paoha, marched to attack the Russians,
who had fortified themselves in the village of
Citale, which is about flvo hours’ march from Kalo
fat. The force of Ismail Pacha was composed of
three regiments of regular cuvalry and one rogi
ment of Bashi Bozouks, with six guus. Ahmed
Paoha was stationed at some distance from tiie vil
lage, with some reserve troops, consisting of five
battalions, and also six guns.
The Russian force in the village oonßistod of
three battalions of infuntry commanded by Colonel
Bonnegarde, throe squadrons of hussars, and two
squadrons ofCoßsacks, with six guns.
The Turkish troops were, as will bo seen, supe
rior in number; but tho position of the Russians,
who were distributed in all tho houses of tho
village, which is of great extent and whioh is
surrounded by a double ditch, rendered the
attack extremely porilous, as tho enemy, well
sheltoiod, wore enabled to direot a murderous flra
upon tho Turks, withoutjho latter being able to
reply to it.
In spite of the evident disadvantage, Ismail
Pasha gave orders for the attack and throw him
self into the village under a shower of bolls fired
from all tho windows. At first the Turks re
ceived very Berlous injury; but, although this
oiroumstanoo eomewhut disorganized their attack
their impetuosity was by no means chocked. The
greater portion ot the soldiers, who baa nover be
fore been exposed to musketry, nevertheless dis
played indomitable courage.
After a desperate struggle thoy attacked the
houses, and fought haod to hand with sword
and bayonet. The massacre was frightful. Tho
Russians in vain bogged for quarter. In the fever
of the fight the Turks listened to nothing, and
Hbtered, without pity, all who foil under their
s. The Mussulmans of tho Crimea, incorpo
rated with tho Russian army, in vain appealed to
their character of Mussulmans. No quarter was
given to them. Gutters of blood ran down the
streets from this wholesale human slaughter. To
add to the horrors of tho soene, it may be stated
that a number of pigs whioh had been let loose
wero aeon eating tno dead bodies.
All who oould escape tho slaughter took rofoge
in a redoubt at the head of the villugo, and thenoo
recommenced a murderous fire upon tho Turks,
who roturned it vigorously, but not without re
ceiving considerable injury from the Russian gune.
At last the enemy, incapable of any further
struggle, deoided on abandoning the entrench
ments. A number of Russian troops had already
evacuated the plaoo, when a colonel of the Turkish
cavalry ooncoived the unfortunate idea of en
deavoring to oppose their passage.
Tho Russians, finding themselves surrounded. *
and having no outlet to osoupe, and no resource
but tho terrible energy derived from despair, no
other alternative but to conquer or die, recom
menced the fight with desperation, and in a vigor
ous lortie thoy succeeded in oapturing two guna.
It should be stated that tho Turks, upon the first
success in the ontrenoliments, committed the In
credible fault of not destroying the onoiny’Bguns.
Whilo the battle was thus going on in the vil
lage, twelvo battalions of infantry of the Russian
army and a squadron of cavalry, with sixteen
pieces of cannon, wero brought to the aseislanoe
of the besieged, und attempted to place the Turks
between two fires. Information of tbis was given
to Ahmed Paoha, who, by a skilful manoeuvre, di
rected his soldiers to tho point, in order to prevent
tho junction with tho besieged troops. For this
movement ho made use of throe of hie reserved
battalions.
, udvantage of the position was now on the
side of the Turks, who wore on ground whioh
sloped towards tho ltopians; bnt tho latter were
in three times greatdWnnmber than the Tnrke
In spite of this inequality, however, the Russian*
were entirely beaten, and fled in the greatest dis
order. They were oomplotoly routed, a faot con
stituting a feat of arms on the part of the Turks
which does great honor to them, and establishes
another importonttrutb—that tho Russians cannot
cope with Turkish troops in equal numbers to
themselves in open field, and that they can only
hope for any oneness when they have a muob more
powerful foroe than their enemy. Their Iveses in
two simultaneous affaire amount to nearly 4,000
men, among whom are included 60 superior offl- '
cere. The Turks had about 800 killed and 890
wounded, who were sent to the hospital at Wid
din, and of whom it is hoped the greater part may
be saved.
According to the opinion of some European offi
cers now at Widdin, this affair is a most glorious
one for the Turke, and, if not productive of any
material result, will at least prove a great moral
advantage to them.
On the next day the Russians attempted to re.
occupy the redoubt from which they bad been
driven in the night, but the appearance of some
Turkish battalions discouraged tiiem from the at
tempt, and they beat a retreat.
At the time of the attack upon tho village, the
Turkish soldiers, particularly tho Bashi Bazooka,
committed the fault of stopping to pillsge being
entirely assured ol victory, and by this means, in
despoiling the dead, obtained some trifling article*
much to the prejudice of the general interest. It
is to be regretted that it hss not been possible to
derive all the advantage from this affair of whioh
it is susceptible, st least so far us regards material
benefit; but as far as regards the moral effect,
there ta nothing to desire.
lernail Pacha fought like a lion, and more like a
soldier than a general. He had two horses killed
under him. lie was grazed with two halls—one
oil the shoulder, and another on the wrist. A
third balLstruck the scabbard of his sword.
The Turks took from the field of battle, bi sides
s number of horses, s great many muskets, sabres,
schakos, epauletts, and decorations, and ulso many
wounded. The latter consoled themselves for
their wouDda by the sight of watches, or handfuls
of gold, gathered in the midst of dungor, whioh
they placed by their beds of pain aa a solace to
their sufferings.
J ustioe has been done to the bravery of the Rus
sian officers, who courageously did their duty, but
were badly aeoorided by the soldiers, whom it was
often necessary to prick with the point of the
bayonet, in order to prevent them running away
Someot the Wallaehian militia were incorporated
among the Russian troops; but the former force
were in very bod Oder with the Russians officers,
and were continually subjected to their jeers. A
Wallaehian captain retused to marob against the
Tur ks, and he consummated his refusal by blow
ing out his brains. This fact may be relied on.
The Wallaohian soldiers are continually desert
ing to the Turks, whose position is deoidedly be
coming advantageous. It ta believed that they
will Bhortly undertake a new expedition. Besides
this, although I do not state the faot as certain, it
is said tb*t Omer Paoha is about to proceed to
Widden. At all event* the Turkß will he received
in Wallachia as liberators. The Turkish soldier
enjoys a reputation for honesty and good conduct
which is well defended.
All the previsions which are necessary are paid
for in ready money, and no burden is thrown on
the inhabitants. So much cannot be said for the
Russians, who are, indeed, charged with all sorts
of odious acts. About two or three weeks ago,
some Coxaaks, at a village near Plewan. cot off the
heada of three Wallaehian#, and violated fifteen
women. Thus the Russians are strange proteo
tore. When the Turks reaehod the village, with
the view of assisting the unfortunate inhabitants,
the culprits had esoaped.
Bcumno in Knox villi.— We venture to assert

Steam Saw Mill of Mr. John MoDonongh, was

for lumber. The loss will fall very heavily upon
Mr. McDonough, who has bnt lately rebuilt tho
mills, whioh were previously destroyed by fire.-w
