The idea ol eatabl sbing a Coiifge aU Covington
originated among the citizens of the place,, without
invoking aid from other portions of the State, the
residents of and Xew tan county opera

tainiug, by voluntary contribution, an amotfnf suf
lic nt for the construction of one of the most haud
-oine, convenient and substantial edifices for a Fe
uiale Seminary to be found anywhere in the South.
It i a tit and beautiful monument to the liberality
;i!id cducafional enteipnae <»f the, present genera
t i< >n in Ne w 1 *il) con sty.
After the building was completed, the same gen
cron.- people birniHlied it with all tife recent ami im
proved apparatus necessary for the successful iu
struction of students in all the departments of
< diemistry alfH Natual philosophy. In doing all this
it must have required an outlay of twelve or fifteen
thousand dollars.
li was tendered to the Grand of Georgia,
m this fink'hed state, as a donation, and accepted,
and from that time it has been nominally, if not
really, under the supervision*of masonry, ami tlie
s *■ put at ion of the fraternity has been involved in the
• imiuiHt ration of its c.ffaiiv. Whatever of good it
has done, and is doing for s*k iety, masonry gets the
credit for it, and take the responsibili
ty for whatever 1 of illiberally there 1- in its manage
-i ns. (’onsidering how munilicentiy tliri <oinmu

tc-od in the manner in wluph U<»y have beeu, I
camiot regard it .as anything else buF a gremt out

which would be raised by tlsß (/Oncert, would be

i-i L iitutio-i which the Masonic fraternity is too

me.n in its parsimony, as io permit the generous
T'lmrs of the College to be taxed, in order to ob
tain means to buy pianos, and other necessary ap
pliance* t It is not. There is no niggardliness
about Masonry. The history of the brotherhood,
from the days of tin* wise King of Israel, to the
present period, in all countries, at all times, and upon
all occasions, shows thftt.jt has maintained a charac
ter for benevolence and generosity . and if its repu
tation, in lliis respect, is to suffer in the administra
th'iiot the Southern Masonic Female College, it
would be better to sever all connection with it, as
soon as it can be done.
On* of tlk- reasons which I have heard given, for
■h .ig::g forTim Coiii*:t, Ac, was that it would
keep out II »• noisy and disorderly crowd. I do not
know wdietlu i this came from the Faculty or not ;
but let it have proceeded from whatever source it
may, it i contemptible, and an reflection
upon the poorer classes. A limn or boy is not ne*

one can deny : but if the entire stock cannot be sub

pective administration as Governor of Georgia, *
should have preceded by two days the letter accep- *
ting the nomination. This, however, is more a mat- r
ter of form than of substance. The letter may have ’
been written previous to the delivery of the speech
and kept back to undergo the usual scrutiny of
friends—for there was evidently some cunning *
head at work in devising its phraseology. s
The most important part of this speech is that re-
lating to the administration of Walker in Kansas, j
and we give it entire. It fully endorses the senti
ments of the Convention in regard to the conduct
of Walker, whose policy he denounces as encourage-
uR-nf to the emigration of Abolition votes from the
States—inducing to riot, violence, blood shed and **
civil war, and finally to the overthrow of the Union. t
With this opinion, we do not blame him for his
condemnation of Walker as unwoithy the counte
nance or support of the South. There can be no
doubt, then, of the position of the Democrat ic can- 1
didate upon this point. The Augusta Constitutiona- £
lief commends the whole speech as a “strong, sound, r
and satisfactory declaration of his position upon the c
prominent issues of the canvass. ” If “sound and sat- t
is factory’ to that journal, which has condemned
both Walker and his administration champion, the I
Washington Union, we are at no loss to ascertain
the exact whereabouts of tlie Democratic nominee }
on the questions to arise and which are destined to J
exert a controlling influence on the future move- I
ments of the people. r
Wo have only a word to add, and that, on the con
cluding paragraph of our quotation. We presume °
Judge Brown lakes the papers—at leaet that he
lakes care to b • informed, in some way of the pro- f l
iniuei.f pditie&l events that transpire in the country.
Conceding this to be so, how, as an honest man, he ”
can coinc forward ut this day and tell the people to ( l
iln ir face that lie docs not believe that the policy of
Walker meets the approval of the President, sur
passes all comprehension. If he is uninformed of *
iho v/ell ascertained views of Mr. Buthanan and
nis Cabinet of the strenuous defence of Walker and
his policy by the organ of the President and its se- J.
vere rebuke of southern Democrats who have dared d
jo question it, we must say it is a most lamentable c
degree of ignorance for a candidate to rule over an c
empire of nearly a million of people.
if, on the other hand, he is aware of what has c
transpired, and still has the hardihood to maintain f?
that the President does not approve, and is not re- c
sponsible for, the conduct of Walker—we shall 1
not say that lie states what lie knows to be untrue,
but we do assert the belief that no other honest man J
could be forced into the same position. Wo are *
constrained to believe that be errs ignorantly.
The conduct of a portion of the Democratic party *
on this sutdect, in attempting to screen the Presi
dent after he has avowed the policy ot Walker, and
in tlie only way it is possiblenow for him to do it. I
is slmnielul to the last degree, and should forfeit all <
claim to the popular respect aud confidence. It is 5
unjust to Walker, fraud on t lie people, and a coward- 1
ly Surrender of their own convictions rather than <
meet the frowns of the meu in power. We tell them •*
t hat the people of the South are a brave and just 1
people aud not afraid to resist the hand that smites 1
them, clothed though it maybe with the dignify 1
and awe of official station ; and further, that if
there is a man on earth they would scorn, it is he 1
who wi*uld “hold with the hare and run with hounds.’ 1—

A Horse Trade.— The Boston Evening Gazette J
is responsible for this one :
AVhen Topple was in the horse trade, he had his
eyes constant !y about him for a speculation, aud one c
day In Vermont he fell in with, among other speei- i
mens, a horse, whose principal points were the points [
of bone projecting through the skin—a long, lean, f
lank white animal that had got some way beyond
his teens, whose qualities as a good horse were ]
vouched for by a neighbor, who said he had knowed >
him for twenty-four years, aud a kinder critter never c
led oxen in a plough than he ! i
The horse waa bought at a discount and shipped t
with three others in a ear for Boston, where he ar
rived safe, but scarcely sound. Topple thought it a t
hard investment, and felt somewhat anxious as to t
how he should get his money back again, concluding x
at last tliat he would undoubtedly make enough on
the other tin ee to cover flie loss on this one which ha
must, lie conceived, sustain He had him stabled. 1
ami then the idea occurred to Topple that he would <
attempt a little factitious excellence for the poor i
beast and endeavor to put him off respectably. A
horse of some celebrity had died juat before, and 1
Topple borrowed a large cover that was wontto en- (
\ elope the animal alter running, and covered up 1
his qwii Kosinante thereYvith. 1
Immediately afterwards appeared an advertise
ment in the Post and other papers that the famous J
trotter White Foot vras on exhibition at Bailey’s
and would be sold on a certain day, inviting peo- *
pie to call and see him. The usual formula was J
gone with, *>f “sound,” “kind,’ “stand without J
- tying,” &c., concluding with the statement that J
he had gone his mile in less than three minutes.— '
The advertisement brought many horse fanciers to 1
the stable, where White Foot stood in a bed of
straw, covered by the robe that had been borrowed. ,
Topple thought that boldness waslhe beat policy. ,
and eauedthe Retention of his visitors to the fact of
the horse*being so poor, venting the statement gra
tuitously that he had fairly ran the flesh off his
bones, and it seemed probable, as the flesh was not
then*.
As the day of sfffe arrived. Topple visited his
racer at regular period's, and with a lash, vigorous
lp applied, endeavored to excite in him a disposition
to appear vigorouson inspection before the public,
and succeeded so far that before the time arrived
the sound of Topple's feet on the stable floor
-wrought the pom: beast up U>a perfect frenzy. He
stamped and smiggled in a manner extravagant
enough to establish a large reputation for mettle,
and Topple was satisfied. “Perhaps,’* whispered
he to the auctioneer, “we may get seventy dollars
for him."
The home was brought to the block, and at the
.-ight of Topple he manifested every sign of spirit.
His nostrils were distended, his eye brightened,
and lie stepped round nervously as though he were
impatient to have somebody* buy him, that he
.night be going, mside erf three minutes, over the
road.

On the 3d of JtnylAml Kilenborougb, iu.tlie House
of Lords, called attention to the redaction in the
rate of exchange with India, recently made bj the
East India Company, by lowering their terms for
bill of Lidia, with the object of preventing the ex
port of silver. He said that it shutild be left to the
discretion of the local government to remit funds to
this country or not to do so, and that considerable
inconvenience might result to the Indian govern
ment if an v further alterations were made in their
country, lie bad heard on good authority that the
mutineers at Delhi bad obtained po-session of no
less than live or six hundred, thousand pounds, a
large portion of which was publie money. He
thought such a fact indicated the necessity ot great
caution in the adoption of charges of this kind, as
otherwise the government of India might possibly
be found unable to meet its engagements.
Eari Granville said every precaution would be
taken against upnecessaty dram upon the resources
of the Indian government That government, how
ever , at pre-amt had large bakuices at its disposal,
and there was no reason to fear that it would be uu
alde to meet all its engagements.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says:
—lt is currently reported at Lisle that, in conse
quence of the excellent prospects of the harvest,
the Belgian government has resolved to take off the
export duty now levied at the French frontier upon
cereals coming from Belgium. This important
measure, it is said, will go into operation July 15.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
writes: —The conspiracy of a certain number of
Italians against the life of the Kmperor, seems to
be marked by a more serious character than was
originally supposed. The persons taken into cus
tody are also more numerous. Successive arrests,
either in consequence of disclosures made by ac
complices, or obtained from papers found at their
lodgings, have increased the number from three to
twenty-one. I doubt whether it will rest here.—

The Paris correspondent of the London Globe
telegraphs the following*—
Turin, July 2,1857.
The steamer Cagliari, bound from Genoa for Tu

gents, who landed on the island of Penseaaud libe
rated some prisoners. The Sapril Neapolitan frigate
captured the steamer, and the troops were pursuing
the insurgents.
The revolutionary attempt at Leghorn was sup
pressed.
The political prisoners liberated on the Island of
Peneea numbered about three hundred, and in con
junction with the insurgents, they attacked theNea
politan gen'd armes, but were repulsed, and seve
ral of them arreeted, when the remainder lied.
The Globe 's Paris correspondent telegraphs on the

Two hundred arrests have been made in Genoa.—
Thousands of Muskets have been seized, and large

It is intimated from other sources that the rupture
had been brought about by Lord Stratford, and the
Constantinople correspondent of the Daily News
says the affair seems likely to assume some impor
tance. Several of the foreign ministers have called
on Mr. Blondel, and it is rumored that those of

Tne death of the Duke of Marlborough, already
reported, took place on the Ist of July, at Blenheim.
His sickness was very brief. The duke was in the
64di year of his age. He was the fifth in succession
bearing the title. He is succeeded by his sou the
Marquis of Blandford. To the notice of his death
the London Times adds the following paragraph :
It may not be uninteresting to our readers to be
reminded here of the terms upon which the Dukes
of Marlborough hold Blenheim from the nation. It
was enacted in J.HJ4 that “On every 4th day of
August, the anniversary of the victory of Blenheim,
the inheritors of the Duke's honors and titles shall
render at Windsor unto her Majesty, her heirs, and
her successors, one standard of colors, with three
jkurs de /is painted thereon, in acquittance ot all
maimer of rents, suitsaud servioesdue to the Crown
of England.’' It is by similar tenure that the Duke
of Wellington holds the mansion of fitraitbfieldsaye,
anil in each case the acknowledgment of the Royal
or national favor is annually paid down to the pres
ent time. *
Thfe following scene took place on.the visit of the
Queen to Manchester:
His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, accom
panied bV their Hightfesaes the Prince Consort, the
Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, and attended
by the Prussian Minister, Count Moltke, and seve
ral members of the suite, proceeded to the Town
Hall for the purpose of receiving a congratulatory
address from the Mayor and Corporation of the city
of Manchester.
On the party audience rose and re
ceived their Royal' Highnesses with the most en
thusiastic
again and again renewed. Prince Frederick seeth
ed both surprised .and'moved at his reception, and
continued to how his acknowledgments till silence
was gradually restored.
Sir James \Vatts then advanced at the head of
the aldermen and members of the town council, and
Mr. Heron, the town clerk, read the address, as
follows : “To his Royal Highness Prinoe "Frederick

The Bengal Ml’Tl.n v —The London News, ot
July 2, publishes the subjoined private letter from*
an officer in the Indian army to his friends in Eng
land. It presents a terrible picture, though some
allowance perhaps should be made for the Writer's
evident agitation and alarm, and considerable de
gree of personal feeling:
Calcutta, Mgy l.tU
To conceal the conuition of India any longer, is
now impossible. The disaffection that has existed
se long among our Nepoya from one eud of our-East
ern possession* to the other has at length displayed
itseii in all its meaning. You, ddubtless, are al
ready aware of what has taken place at Barracks
pore, a station 15 miles distant from Calcutta. One
regiment, the 12th native infantry, about 200
si 10ng.2: a.- hegn disbanded, and seven companies
of the 34th native infantry, about 700 men, have
shared the Same fate, make in all 1,600 men, who
with their wives and families, have been turned
adrift to pluuuer and murder ; for the meu are not
lit for labor of any kind, and their families and
selves must.be fed. This, for a time, quieted Bar
i ackpore, as. the disgraced men were passed over
the river and the banks guarded by European sen
tries to prevent their return. Other disturbances,
however, ki the Northwest were soon reported, and
yesterday morning, by electric telegraph, the go
vernment received the news of most alarming out
breaks, with great loss of life, about Meerut and
Delhi.
I t H* tt'lfiP.ii Ima iihhn alnmluirinrs ainnn 41. es C r
That which has been slumbering since the time of
.Sir C. Napier has broken out in lull vigor, and ere
auother mail reaches England it is not impossible
that the European population of India, that is from
Calcutta upward, may be considerably diminished.
This in an astounding assertion ; nevertheless it is
no exaggeration. The government suppresses
every kind of information it receives that is likely
to create alarm, and even, it is said, pays heavily to
our daily papers to do the same. It is consequent
ly difficult to arrive at the truth, or even a knowl
edge of what is gofag on.
Shortly after the fiarraekpore affair,the 3d caval
ry at Meerut stiwed symptoms of disaffection;
about SO men (Sdfrars troopers) were tried by court
martial, a long term of imprisonment
and hard labor. The sentence was read on the pa
rade ground iu the presence of the regiments sta
tioned at Meerut, and the men were ironed imme
diately after, and marched off to prison. During
the process the native troops appeared sulky and
rest{ess, but not a word was said.
About midnight of the following day, however,
the»r feelings being worked up to boiling point, the
whole ofthe Sepoys and Sowars stationed at Meerut
left their lines and proceeded straight to Delhi.—
These consisted*ofllth, 15th, 20th and 74th native
infantry, and the remaining troops of the 3d caval- ,
ry. On reaching Delhi they were joined by the 38th
and 54th native imantry, and the native artillery at
that station. Here the most atrocious acts were
committed. Headed by the 38th, they attacked
every house containing an European, and killed
every man and violated and killed every woman.
Among their victims were Mr. S. Fraser, the com
missioner, Rev." Mr. Jennings and daughter; the
death and sufferings of the latter are said to have
been such as no pen can describe or heart conceive.
Dr. Balfour and Capt. Douglass, commanding the
Palace Guards, was killed ; and every officer of the
38th and 54th present with his corps, and visitors
and residents in the place, shared the same fate, ex
cept the following : Major and Mrs. Abbott, Capt.
and Mrs. Wallace, Capt. and Mrs. De Teissier, Mr.
and Mrs. Hutchinson. The insurgents then proceed
ed to the Delhi Bank, looted that and retained pos
session of the building; also, the Treasury, which
was well supplied. Lieut. Willoughby, iu charge
of the magazine, seeing all this, at once blew it up,
and, we fear, has perished by his own hands. Had
this magazine fallen into the hands of the insurgents
there is no calculating the mischief they might have
effected. The devotion of Lieut. Willoughby is be
yond praise. God grant we may hear he is still
alive. At present he is missing.
Tiie insurgents now hold Delhi. The Comman
der-in Chief is said to be on his way from the hills
■with three European corps and a Goorka regiment.
Lord Canning is frantic, and a general panic per
vades India. The steamer Alma, which ought to
have left to-morrow morning with the mail, is post
poned with the hope that better news may arrive on
Monday. The probability is, news more alarming
will reach us. Other regiments may have risen,
and other massacres be reported. "To protect the
capital (Calcutta) General Hearsey has been in
communication with the Governor-General (General
Low is utterly useless) and a plan has been devised
which will be carried into effect to-day or to-mor
row ; it is, I hear, to concentrate our troops iu Cal
cutta as far as possible. The above are facts, and
I have every reason to say may be relied on with
confidence. We only fear for our wives and daugh
ters ; if they were safe our work would be easy.
Such news as this coming suddenly upon you, it
will naturally bj asked, “But how has all this hap
pened V* It is easily answered, such feelings as
at present possess our native army have for the last
three or four years been gradually but steadily en
gendered, and what was regarded as the unexam
pled administration ot my Lord Dalhousie is now
pecoming exposed. It is too long a story to show
how his lordship is to blame for all this ; suffice it at
present to remark that Lord Dalhousie was as
sure of what was about to happen as I am that it
has occurred. The whole burthen of his mal-ad
ministration Lord Canning lias had to bear, who, to
a certain extent, has been made a tool of by his
predecessor. Os course everybody here blames
Lord Canning for his apathy and want of decision
at the first outbreak at Bai rackspore ; but I think
he does not deserve so much censure as is heaped
upon him, for this reason, that he has been entirely
in the hands of his staff, and to them he has listened
on all matters connected with the native army.
When Lord Dalhousie left India he introduced
his aide de-camp—Capt. Bowie of the Bengal Artil
lery—-to his successor, as a person who thoroughly
understood the native character, and more particu
larly the Sepoy as to his habits and pecularities, and
stated in all such matters he (Capt. Bowie) might be
referred to with great confidence. Lord Canning
in consequence dubbed him his aide-de-camp, aid
to this officer’s counsels it is that so much mischief
is to be attributed. It is certain that no military
appointment has taken place here without his being
consulted. Now what Lord Dalhousie could see in
captain, now Brevet Major Bowie, no one can con
ceive. But Lord Canning must and will be re-call •
ed, and his staff scattered, before all goes well; and
Gen. Anson must accompany him iu hi 3 homeward
passage. AH we want is an independent, active
man as Governor General, and an energetic Com
mander iu-Chief—a Governor General who will
keep his establishment at arm's length and in
troduce into India as secretaries men of known
ability.
I am no alarmist, but I am not blind; the many
years I have spent in India, the observations I have
had numerous opportunities of making from one
end of India (Bengal Presidency) to the other, te.ls
me British India will cease to be unless speedy and
energetic measures are resorted to, and unless some
noble-hearted, honest-minded, and independent no
bleman is sent to our relief. The power of the Go
vernor General is absolute; he can make or mar
the prospects of hundreds; and it is worse than
criminal to leave us at the mercy of ignorant, and
puffed up secretaries and aide-de-camp.
Sa&ipay Evening, May IC.
Since writing the a government notifica
tion has been issued confirming almost everything
therein detailed.
Monday Ev eking, May 18.
As expected, the telegraph is in, »and the news
for which the mails have been detained has reached
us. Nothing, that I can learn, from Delhi. From
Meerut we have the following :
On the evening of the 10th the troops rose as it
were, cn mem sc. The I ith, iotL, and 20th native
Infantry, and the third light cavalry, fell with mer
ciless fury on their officers, destroying very many
of each regiment; some contrived to escape. Os
those killed we have the following Col. Fiunis,
11th killed ; Lieutenants Chambers and Mm. Cham
bers! 11th native Infantry ; Capt. Taylor and Capt.
M’Donald, of the 20th native Infantry, and Mrs.
M’Don aid also killed, and many others. Dr. Chris
tie ofthe 3d Cavalry, mortally wounded.
Mrs. Courtnay, hotel keeper, and ail her children,
with severalladies and women, were killed. How
these poor souls died no one knows. It appears
that the men of the 3d cavalry who were confined
in goal were liberated by the insurgents, by whom
the greater part of Meerut has been consumed by
tire.* Many Europeans have been destroyed, whose
flames have yet to be published. The excitement
here is fearful in the extreme. The Governor-
General is, of course, very unpopular, but more so
his advisers —his staff. As I before remarked, noth
ing but a thorough change will do now ; the old
Dalhousie clique must be expunged ere tranquility
can be restored to India. It is now midnight, and
the mail leaves early to-moriow morning.
A Shipwreck — Capt. Turpie, of brig E* H. Fit
ter, arrived yesterday from Philadelphia, reports
having come across a wreck in lat. 2H+l N., long.
73 0y \v r . ? on 27th of June. The wreck was appa
rently that of a full pooped new brig. The weather
being calm, Capt, T. sent his boat to the wreck,
but could find nothing from which to tell her name,
where she was from or her destination, all excerite
ther poop bemg under water and the vessel badly
broken up. No sign of life could be discovered, but
from the stench which prevailed, the pieces of raw
meat and fish nets that were seen lashed to the poop,
Capt. Turpie was led to the belief that all hands'
must have perished, ana that the dead bodies were
somewhere entangled in the wreck. In the ship’s
long boat, which was badly stove in and tied to the
wreck were found a revolver and a daguerrotype
likeness of a woman and two childien, (apparently
about two and five years of age,) the youngest be
ing clad in blue, the oldest in brown, and the wo
man, evidently the mother, in black. Thinking
these relics might serve to locate the vessel and her
unfortunate crew, Capt. T. brought them with him
with a-view to forwarding them to the underwri
ters’ office in New York. The cargo of the vessel
consisted in part of cordage, hemp, cotton, rope,
etc. —Mobile A dr., l&tk.

I knew him the c arai tor of neighbor a d friend, and
ever found him affectionate and kind Fie aj>rei to no
political notoriety ; neither did lie rejoice over the suc
cess of one can ddate over the defeat of *.he other He
was willing'rather to cultivate :i spirit of “ peat e w ith
all men.” Hewa? a Christian. For. several years a
consistent member of the Methodist Church, !. - * t .
firm, though humble defender of its doctrine*. and l* .
simple and unpretending trust iu Christ, he added, g' D
o leekness, Caitib HI
wore radiant with a hope of a “glorious iou.:« • ho
yond the grave a happy re-union with those *• not dead,
but gone before.’ He “ died in the faith,” and is now the
recipient of an inheritance “ incorruptible,-:uu : nntiefiicd
and that fude-th not away. In his death, an aged mother,
affectionate wife, two children, brothers and -o >, ;
tain an irreparable loss. His place cannot easily be
tilled —he was his mother’s ‘ Benjamin,’ and staff t> con
duct her weary earthly pilgrimage in safety. But •
has the full assurance of his preparation to meet God, of
glorious manifestation* of his acceptance l»v Him.
Then weep not—nor consider thy Creator angry in
thus visiting his “ chastening rod” upon thee.
“ Trust him for his grace ; •
Behind a frow niug providence
He bides a smiling face."
To the friends of the deceased, I would say, strive to
emulate bis good deeds, let their recollection incite in yon
a resolve to do right—
“So live, that when thy summons comes to Join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall tak?
His chamber in the silent halls of death ,
Thou go uot, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scoured to his dungeon,; but sustain’and sqoth’d
By an unfaltering trust.-approach thy grave
Like one that draws the drapery of Ms couch
About him, ami lies down to pleasant dreams.”
