I PEDIGREE.
J R. 11. Acklis, Esq- of Huntsville, Alabama,
; certifies a« follows ;—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
i land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
r the sire of Highland Mary was old PacolcL Tom
Tunstall was sired by o’d Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stuck as any horse in the United States. —
He was a racehorse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryf.r, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can “■et a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee^—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, ca led Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kellcv’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
) dam O’Possurn by imported Shark; great-great
l great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
greal-g:eat-grand-dam by imported lea inaught;
> great-great-great-great-great-grand dam by Lee’s
I old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou
, key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
j to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attestc l pedegree!

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY.
fINHE Trustees of this institution are happy to
X have it in their power to slate, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch as
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the full
confidence of the Trustees, and w-ho, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Ernenputsck, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably- know-n to the community-, has
charge of the Classical department and al! the
branches of education requisite for admission to
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recommendations as to character, talents, lite
rary attainments and skill in teaching, and the
Trustees feel assured that fie will sustain the re
putation which led to his selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank
lin George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage of
the location ot this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in
fluence of a crowded town, are 100 well known to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public the principal Academy-and the Branch
at Summerville, as being on a better fooling than
they have heretofore been, and piomising great
usefulness to those who may- avail themselves of
the advantages which they offer.
