Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
been connected with the Institution, comes to
us highly recommended, as a teacher of rare
qualifications. Among other testimonials the
following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union
Coll ege, New York, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 29,1855.
Dear Sir:—ln reply to your inquiry, I
would say, Miss Hotchkiss, 1 know to be emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scolarship
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious—lovos to teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady 1 ever instructed. I speak thus confi
dently, because she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon the general principle 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
has thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
The mind that lias not comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar, is but poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics.
We invite patronage, and we intend to de
serve it; hut 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
vtev been, is slow. jan4.

McCORMICK COLLEGE,
(MALE AND FEMALE.)
Opelika, Russell County, Alabama.
rpiiE Building for this Institution is now
I completed, and the Board of Directors
nvito the attention of Parents and Guardians
t o the advantages offered by Prof. McCormick,
for the education of both sexes.
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 tho object of this
College ; without the aid of Thoology, 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 bchavo 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.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS.
AND
THE FAKMERIS GtUIDB.
Great reduction in tho pricoof the latter publication.”
L. Scott A Cos., Now York, continuo to publish the fol
lowing leading British Periodicals, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
THE EDINGBURGH REVIEW (Whig).
the NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church).
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).
BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
tpilM great and important events—Religious, Political,
X and Military—uow agitating the nations of tho Old
:* orld, give to these Publications an intorest and value
they never before possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between tho hastily written news items, crude
speculations, und Hying rumors of tho newspaper, and
the ponderous Tome ol tiie historian, written long after
thu living interest in the facts lie records shall have
pussecl away. The progress of the War in the East occu
pies a large space in tlieir pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. Tim letters from
tho Crimea and from the Baltic in Blackwood’s Magazine
from two of its most popular contributors, givo a more
intelligible and reliable account of tho movements of tho
grout belligerents that can elsewhere ho found. g
Those Periodicals ably represent tho three great politl-1
eal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, aud Radical,— *
hut politics forms only one feature of their character.
As Organs of tho most profound writers on Science, Lite
rature, Morality, and Religion, they stand, as they ever
have stood, unrivalled in tiie world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to the scholar and the professional
man, while to tiie intelligent reader of every class they
furnish a more correct and satisfactory record of tho cur
rent literature of the day, throughout the world, than
can be possibly obtained from any other source.
