As Appeal in Ukiui.p or Anuhkw Colijioe,
—Without Uw request or knowledge of the l’res-
ddent and Trusteea of this valuable institution,
in rlew of the close of the scholastic year which
is near at hand, we would moat earnestly and ur
gently invoke every patron who may be In ar.
rears for the board or tuition of their Wards and
daughters to discharge Ureir just obligation* with
out further delay.
Dr. Hamilton, alter berculoan rifort* and the
exhibition of consummate tact and skill, haa ele*
rated bis college to the very first rank among the
female seminaries of thia or any other State.
The system of education b thorough and com
plete, and the morel and physical training ol the
young ladies most excellent. The Doctor has
the art of inspiring unbounded *<-al and enthusi
asm unsung his pupils, wboso ambition to excel
W almost without parolIvl. The Influence fur
good of this InsUtMtion b incalculable, aad lb
blvwiugs to the community will be felt for gen
erations lo cotnc.
Who can estimate its benefits to our flourishing
dly, both Intellectually and In a business point
of view T It is as an rdueationilional centre, nnd
on accou it of its noted salubrity of climate, that
our hope of frit tire prosperity b chiefly based,
fihall it be said then that Andrew Female Col
lege with its 120 .Undents, admirable Fiwulty.
and full tide of sncceoi. shall be permitted to lan
guish aud even die out because the pnrvnts of
Ihure who ei\joy its advantages fail to pay the
nvdcrele charges demanded of them? Shame that
even such a suspicion should find blub and ut
ters lies.
Yet it must be apparent to all, that the sala
ries of tcacbcv* cannot Is* paid, or food supplied
in these cash times to the College refectory,
without the receipt of those funds which have
been so richly earned. We hold thut the pccutt-
iary obligations most sacred of all olbern, are
Orel the payment of a competent salary to your
minister, aud secondly the educatiouul expeutea
of your children.
Kalber than Ignore these sacred claims, better
far forego ease and luxury, eat dry bread, and
wear coarse apparel ; tor religion and a {cultiva
ted intellect transcend In value and importance
all other earthly consideration a, andean never be
taken from you.
Shall wc appeal in vain then to the patrons
and debtors ot Andrew College In ita behalf f
Surely not. Only discharge promptly the obli
gation* you so justly owe. a d Uib honored in
stitution will Continue U> shed its benignant In
fluences abroad, and reflect credit aud lustre up
on your city.
Fail to do so. and you will be solely responsi
ble for any ecll|NK which iU glory and ureful-
neas may sustain.
Centaurr MAxrrAtTt'Rixo t’oMrAXV. The an
nual meeting of the Ktockholdera and Directoi*
of thb organisation was held on Wednesday In
the efitce of the Company. In conarqouncc of
tho rule requiring two-thirds of the stock to lie
r-preaentafi fov the transaction of formal total-
ness, aad owing lo unforeseen causes such not
being the case, the meeting failed to enter Into
Ibe usual election of Director! lor the ensuing
year, and the old board under the charter bolds
over until their succeanore are appointed.
The President convened a meeting of the D-
rectury however, and through his elaborate state
ment and report to them of the past year's ope
rations. indirectly afforded to Um Company all
the iaformation they desired.
Capt Hardy In bb narrative was deeply In-
teresting; and the details ol hb labors, trills and
triumphant success In the conduct of affairs gave
evidence ol great tact and wbdom on bb part.
The amount of machinery boa been materially
Increased, and the real estate eubanoed In value
by purchase, and the erection of buildings, etc
Kmerging from tbe financial difficulties and die’
tress or the past year not only un calked and free
from d -bt, bat with a considerable margin of
profit on Um credit side, we may justly congrat
ulate the company upon Its future prospect*.
An offer from Caph Hardy U» vacate bis office,
arbing from pereonaTcoDflderations of a delicate
nature, was rod with unanimous disapproval,
and renewed assurances of unabated confidence
by every stockholder.
A resolution was adopted sailing for an addi
tional awessmeat of 10 per oont. upon the oapi-
Ml stock of tbe Company, payable in 30 days,
for tbe puuhaas of machinery, and to add to the
capacity^of tbs mill. Of tbe capital stock sul>-
Kribed, op to tbb time, $43,7.' 0 bsre a been paid
in. Tbe proposed increase of machinery will
add very largely lo the amount and quality of
the fabrics to be manufactured hereafter.
On tbe whole, Ibe condition of the Factory is
highly satisfactory.

Ideas, leaping from a world’s awakened Intellect,

be a stunt da tb-grapple between might and

thought between that which u and font wli ich

the world which doofeona cauuut confine, uor
ocean* check, nor persecutions subdue—whose
path lav* through the great region of Ideas, and
whose dominion is over tbe mind.
To cultivate these latent powers of the soul, to
develop the** untutored three*, and hnniem
them to the car of pragma is the peculiar prov
ince ol the Lyceum. The uiintl trained in this
school, with all its faculties sharpened by con
tact with the powers or others, will soon become

IQUThe Now York Jotirnsl of Com
memo, a paper not less distinguished
for Its cnntlor than for its grout ability,
makes this fair and just notice of tho
speeches in thu impeachment enso. No
intellectual reader, unswayed by passion
or prejudice, will hesitate to endorse it:
The great speeches of tho trial thus
fur have been those of Curtis, Grocshuck
and ISvnrts. No competent impnrtia
judgo will question this. Butler’s, Bout
well’s and btuvun’a (to sny nothing of
Logan’s,) though smart nnd ilirewd,
lucked breadth and depth. Those words
are sometimes used in an affected phil
osophical and canting sense ; but every
body will recognise their fitness for pur
|K>su8 of comparison between the ad
dresses of the two sides. The speeches
of the managers ure narrow in their par
tisan views of the great questions which
they affect to discuss | and they aro shal
low in not conceding thu personal mo
tives which dictate them. We ensily
see to the bottom of Butler’s speech as
of Stevens’, and we discern a vindictive
hatred of Piesident Johnson, which will
be contented with removing und dis-
gruoing him, only hccuuse it is not pns
siblo under our laws to cut off his huud
We have, in former articles, awurded n
just meed of praise to tho logical, lumi
nous, high toned und truly eloquent
s|leeches of Curtis and Groesbock, ef-
lul ls which possessed the grout elements
of breadth and depth, along With the
minor graces of the most cultivated or
atory. To those stipotb productions wo
have now to add the oration of Mr.
Kvui ts. As u piece of reasoning it is
logically unanswerable. As a literary
composition it is finished, ad um/um —
While never transcending the limits of
propriety, it abounds in delimite satire,
and of which whole quivors-lull ure shot,
as from the umbuslt ot a flowery hedge,
into the lough hides ol the principal
managers. Wo feel thut here, for the
first time, Butler has more than his
matth. Ho throws rocks, nnd some
times he hits and sometimes misses his
murk. But Kvarts pluats his barbed
urruws in thu person of the "honorable
munuger” every time. It satisfies our
sense of poetic justice to see the rude
barburic force of Butler so ncutly end
effectually discomfit fed. II Evarls hud
simply demolished that man, it would
be victory enough for one tiny. But
thut is only a passing item of bis trium
phant murth over the whole mass of ar
guments which the iinpeuchurs have,
built up and rested their case upon. It
iu the crowning work of Mr. Kvarls’
long und hoin-ruhlu career. Wc ure
proud that our city- has un orator so
truly great.
Death Won’t 8avk You.—It bai
been decided that dying won’t save mini
or woman from thu pimm-nt of taxes.—
Auh'hhoih uro instructed that "incomes
of persons who diudafter the 81st De
cember, are taxable, and should bo re
turned by executors, and also all in
comes which uccrned in 1807, to per
sons who died within that year. In
comes accruing after decease should be
returned by heirs.” Thus it isseenthat

with the ndvnnch of NapiePfi arHty to
wards Mngdula, reports bjr tttlegrnlh—*
delayed in transit—dated tfid tth hint.,
that news was received at headquarters
from army spies to tho effect that Theo
doras intended moving immetlhjtbly on
tho British. Gen. Kupier instantly erHsA'
ed tho Juddah rivor to the plain of Tan-
ta, which ho commenced to traverso,—
Mnny nnimnls were lost in crossing a
terrible ravine. It is oiglit miles wide,
having a descent of three thousand five
hundred feet nnd an ascent extending
Tour thousand five hundrod feet on the
othor side. The Queen's nriny having
accomplished both marched over the
"King’s Road,” thirty feet wide, onward.
Oon. Napier then halted nnd roconnoit-
orod thu position at Mugdnla in person.
He saw tho king's camp with intrench
ed defences, which appeared itnptegna-
blo. The 8th ol April, Mr. Russuro, one
of the cuptivoa, forwarded u letter to
Geth Napier, dated Mngdaln, Oth, in
which he said :—'•Beware, the king is
moving P*
A telegram, of April 18, says a truce
which hud been agreed on between Gen.
Napier nnd ThuoutiVtts, terminated ear
ly this morning. Immediately niter thu
termination, the King nut having sur
rendered the captives, Gen. Nupicl’
placed himself at thu head of the first
aud second brigades of his army and
moved up thu lull toWnl'd the fortress as
far as Shulnae. This portion of the
strong works was surrendered t*> Gen.
Napier by the chiefs in Command, alter
u brisk attack, in which the African
troops were defeated. Tliflodofua, ob
serving the English udvnuce and its Hist
fruits, retreated into tho centre of the
Mugdahi'works on the plutouu, lulVin;
first planted five guns at tin) bttSo.-
Wtion Gen. Napier ottme ill sight With
his brigades, the King’s artillery open
ed on the advunue with these gtlnsj itl
tho presence of Theodorus. Tin* British
replied immediately with twelVe-phnn*
dor Armstrong guns and scvetl-itlch
mountain mortar rocket guns, throwittg
rockets into tho placo. The King’s
works were carried, after a vigorous
resistance. Tlieodorus lost during thu
engagement sixty men killed nnd two
hundred wounded. Tho English hud
fifteen, rank and file, wounded. Alter
the works were completely taken, Then-
dolus was found deud by tbe English
soldiers in tho centre of his stronghold
lie had been shot through tho head.—
Some say he was killed during one of
the buttles. Others incline to tho opia
ion that be committed suicide when he
found tho fortune of tho day against
liitti. The King’s body was recognised
by tho British cuptives when released.
Tlieodorus’ two sons wore taken prison
ers, and all Europeun nrieoneis were
set fYeo. The interior of Fortress Mag-
dale presented an extraordinary and
splendid night. The place wns glowing
with almost barbaric splendor. The
British troops plundered it at once.—
The men found four royal crowns made
of solid gold, $60,000 in silver, thous
ands of silver plates, several lota of
very rieh jewels, and a number of other
articles of groat value. Gen Napier
takes by his victory the twenty-eight
lurgo guns used against him, five thous
and stand of small arms, ten thousand
shields, ten thousand spears, und mnny
other articles of wnr. The liberated
British cuptives will start for homo the
14th of April. Gen. Napier’s army will
reorganise, lull in, and return to India
und Kngliind at unco.
The London Times’ telegrams htntu
that King Tlieodorus made an attack
on the British advunue on tho 10th of
April, when lie wns repulsed, having
Hboiit 600 men killed, and that lie was
subsequently deserted by almost all of
the remainder of his troops. Tho King
tlion retired inside tho Fortress of Mug
dula, whore, supported by sumo few du-
voted followers, no mudo dMesperate re
sistance to the English, but finding his
cause made hopeless hy the nssnnlt of

Wii.i, mi Members ov tiik Lr.oi8i.A-
tUrE iik Required to Tak« Tub Test
OatiI f—The above question has been
going the rounds of tho various newspa
pers of the Htute, nod none of them
scum to have settled upon nny Answer.
We answer thu question, No) nnd sim
ply because there is no law requiring
them to tuke any such oath, no other
being required than the one set forth
io the State Constitution. Congress
rnu; enact a law requiring it, between
now and tho assembling of that body,
but we think Andy Johnson will occu
py their attention until then.
boiiiu gentlemen think, however, that
Gen. Meade will tako it upon himself to
decide that the tost oath must bo taken
by members before liny cun tuke their
scats. We have too much respect for
General Meade lo think lie will do any
thing of the kind. 8uch an net on hits
pait would be nothing less than usurpa
tion, nnd from his past record ns un exe
cutor of tho Reconstruction law, wo
cannot do him the injustice to even
think that he will volunteer to violute
thut luw which he has apparently inude
such earnest efforts to impartially exe
cute.
Our friendi. therefore, may rest per
fectly satisfied they will bo allowed to
lake their seats without being required
to tuke any other outli than the one re
quired by the new Constitution. If
they nre, they will have tho consolation
of knowing thut the Radicals will hate
to pet jure themselves to got in.—Allan
ta Opinion.
KatIno when Exhausted.—When thb
strength df nerve power is already worn
out, or used Up, the digestion only makes
a fresh demand upon it, and if it be tin-
able to meet thfl demand, the food is on
ly e burden upon it; prunticing mlAchief.
Our bodies have beeft coHlpdfed to
steam engines, the food bfcitttf the fuel
Hud the fctctim product! Iho hoipow
er. Tho analogy holds good to a cer
tain extent. If, when the steam is ItftV;
beoaitso tlio firo is low, you pile in tod
fast a quantity of coal, you put out your
llrfls, nnd if you have depended upon
steam power to fan your fires tbat is !
u'so extinguished.
Beyond this the comparison fails.—
You may clean outyour furnaces and be 1
gin nguin, but in the body tho oonse-
qUenocs of this overloading nio dnngor-
ous, nnd eomtimes fatal. No cause of
dhoiern is more common than eating
freely when exnuBted.
Thu rulo should bo to rest for a time,
and take somesimplo refreshment, a cup
of ton, a lfttip broth, nr even a piece of
brend, apythmj/ (filfiplb and iff flninll
amount, jiintfo BtlfRuTute tlio ( Bt6mncli’
slightly, nnd begin to reflWo its fiowet 1
After rest A tnodeifflo quantify will 5b
relroslring.
Never eat a full rricnl wfioff yfifif are
exhausted. Tako first n small quantity
of anything simple which nihy bo han
dy and rest. Thou uflor a»tihlb,‘ pr'opor
food will be a blessing, not a burden.—
The fires will burn, the steam will bo up
and you can go on your way safoly.
It is not a miss in this connection ta
say that children would avoid many a
feverish night, nnd mnny nn attack of
disoase, if mothers would follow this rule.
