The Institution is supplied with a llarp, and with new Pianos. Miss Hotchkiss, who lias 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 College, New York, is an ample guarantee for her ability and efficiency : Union College, Dec. 2D, 1855. Dear Sir:—ln reply to your inquiry, I j 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—loves to teach, and on tlio whole, is the best qualified for it of any lady I ever instructed. 1 speak thus confi dently, because she was a pupil of mine some four or five years. Truly yours, JOHN NEWMAN. Upon thegeucralprinciple 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 hap 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 hi glier mathematics, or the subtleties of metaphysics. We invite patronage, and we intend to de serve it j but we do qot promise to make schol ars iii 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. janl. 8 Itc s.iilii snii. VOL. U MeCORMICK COLLEGE, (MALE AND FEMALE,) Opelika, Russell County, Alabama. I riMIE Building for this Institution is now I completed, and the Board of Directors I invito the attention of Parents and Guardians ! to the advantages offered by Prof. McCormick, | for the education of both sexos. By the McCormick System of Education, the reasoning powers arc 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 ail 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 und fraud, duty alone will bo the Polar Star taught; and no Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col lege.
