The Institution is supplied with a Harp, and with new Pianos. Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore, been connected with the Institution, conies to us highly recommended, as a teacher of rare qualifications. Among other testimonials the following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union Collego, New York, is an ample guarantee for her ability and efficiency : Union College, Dec. 29, 1855. Dear Sir : —ln reply to your inquiry, 1 would say, Miss Hotchkiss, I know to be emi nently qualified for teaching. Her scolarship is general and very thorough. She is enter prising and ambitious—loves to teach, and on the whole, is the best qualified for it of any lady i ever instructed. I speak thus confi dently, because sbe was a pupil of mine some four or five years. Truly yours, JOHN NEWMAN. Upon thegenernlprinciple that nothing tends more to impair and destroy the intellect, than superficial habits of study, no young lady, in this Institution will be permitted to take up studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad vance from a lower to a higher class until she ha- thoroughly mastered all that precedes— The mind that has not comprehended common arithmetic and English Grammar, is hut poor ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of metaphysics. We invite patronage, and we,intend to do- Berve it: but we do not promise to make schol ars in a day. While modern science has al most annihilated time and space, the mind retains only its original qualities and capabil ities. The Intellect, in its onward progress, is still dependent upon the principles of asso ciation, the powers of judgement and memory. Real advancement in knowledge now, as it. has ever been, is slow. jan4. ft llt Eiill) sUlt. VOL. U McCORMICK COLLEGE, (MALE AND FEMALE.) Opelika, Russell County, Alabama.

By the McCormick System of Education, the reasoning powers are more expanded and better cultivated in five months than by the old system in five years. Legitimate Education is the object of this College ; without the aid of Theology, Music, duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any shape whatever. Three Rules will be rigidly enforced: Ist, early and punctual attendance; 2d, to learn very fast; 3rd, to behave remarkably well. The only required preparation for admission will be good character, over nine years of age, and exemption from all illegal and base asso ciation, and no students refused because of being graduates. An effort merely to please a people, being the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty alone will be the Polar Star taught ; and no Y'ankee drumming, for students, need be ex pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col lege.

They occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news items, crude speculations, and tlving rumors of the newspaper, and tiie ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after the living interest in the facts he records shall have passed away. The progress of the War iu the East occu pies a large space in ilteir pages. Every movement is closely criticised, whether of triend or of foe, and all shortcomings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from the Crimea and from <lie Baltic in Blackwood’s Magazine, from two of its most, popular contributors, give a more intelligible and reliable account of the movements of tin* great belligerents that can elsewhere be found. These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi cal parties of Great Britain—VN big, Tory, and Radical, hut politics forms only ono feature of their character.— As Organs of tin* most profound writers on Science, Lite* ruture.
