SOU TII-CAROL'NA FEMALE INSTI-
T UTE.
THE duties of this Institution, under the diiec
lion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev. Well
ington H. Tyler, will be resumed on the hist
October ensuing.
Twenty-two years of past service is the p’ed j e
which one o the above-named individuals offers
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled’
irom personal acquaintance, to testify as to ifie’
superior qualifications of Mr. T. The followin'
among other testimonial, are offered •
“Ml. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
Alter taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and laithlHl teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, lie returned and discharged
the duties ot hi? office with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Si nce t | )cn 1)e
has studied Theology in tiie Andover Seminary
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the (Jos-’
pel.
It affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well qualified to take
charge ot any Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. H Humphrey Pres
Amherst College, Sept. IG, 1539.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839
This may certify, That the subscriber’ is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington H. Tyler
having known him as a member of this CoTcge of
which he is an alumnus,and afterwards as a Tutor
in the College, and since as a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure
in recommending him to the public confidence as a
Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and
gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
instruction of youth of either sex in ary of our
literary institutions. W.Fiske
Prof Int. and Mor. Phi’y.”
Mrs. T. is amply recommended by the Principals
of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs.
Yates of Union College, and Josiin of the New
York University.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly ie.-ponsible duties which will devolve
upon them, wili aim at practical results, and at
tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their
care for the duties of real life, than to gain for
them the admiration too often bestowed upon >r
ralic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical develop, rnent of all the
faculties which make up (he mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country fiom that in which he
is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. 7he pow
er and the habit of reasoning; are worth more than
any number of the results of others’ reasonii g;
the loveot knowledge and a mind well disciplined
and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
blessing than any amount of knowledge without
such guaranties lor its perpetuity and increase, as
a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant
reservoir of however great dimensions.
They will aim, in short, at combining, in the
highest practicable degree, the advantages of home
education with those which, in the general, can
only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought
together Tor the same object;— at concentrating the
endearments of home, its social sentiments and its
proprieties of lite—lor the improvement and the
enjoyment of tlio-e who may thus be removed from
the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied
with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
It will be perceived that the new arrangement
leaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It
will be the same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements,in its religious aspects
and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they
regard the domestic institutions of the South.—
Hence the propriety of omitting here much that
must otherwise have been detailed at large, res
pecting our arrangements and the advantages of
them—matters, which have already and repeatedly
been submitted to the notice of the public, and as
it would seem, met their approbation.
77ie regular Term of tire Institute consists of
nine months, commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
divided into two Sessions.of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
at the commencement of the Term ; they will,
however, be received at any period of the Term’
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term,
The Institurion will be open five days of the
week, uuring the hours of recitation, from 6 a m.
to 5 p m. to the inspection of patrons and those
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures will be made for pupils, for
books, stationary, postage, and necessary articles,
such as shoes, iic. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
We recommend to patrons and others to post-pay
their letters, addressed to the inmates of the In
stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.

TOM TI N.STALL
r THIS thorough bred Horse will

three or mire mares, owned by the same person,

’ PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows : —‘Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie marc;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacoleri 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 fiom as
good a stuck as any horse in the United States.—
He was a racehorse of the first order, but 1 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 Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get 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 thorougn- j
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.— j
Biie was got by the noted horee Pacolet, the son of j
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Six j
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported 1
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelle'’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’Possum by imported Shark; great-great-
I great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; :
great-great-great-great-great-grand -dam by Lee’s
• old Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Mon
key.” Dn the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary i
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none i
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
