FRIDAY^'"MARCH 14, 1378.
Hamilton Female College.
On the <1 ay of March, 1872,
Ilam bon Female College was burnt.
At once the friends of this institution
of learning determined to rebuild,
and the new college edifice, under
the indefatigable energy of Prof. J.
H, Lovelace, like the Phoenix of old,
is fast rising from its ashes, and at no
distant day, its lofty dome will kiss
the rising sun in its coming, and its
vacrcd walla, consecrated to litera
ture, will reverberate with the joyous
taolody and the gay laugh of the
school-girl.
This building will, perhaps, he one
of the most commodious wooden
structures in the State, capable of ac
commodating at least two hundred
pupils, with verandahs and all the
modern architectural improvements
of the age, erected upon a most eligi
ble site —the last spur of the Oak
Mountain giving a commanding
view of the beautiful landscape from
which Hamilton Ins received the np r
pollution, The (scm of the Mountains.
Around the past history of this in
stitution cluster cherished memories,
and fVom its sacred porta's intellec
tual light has rendered effulgent the
countenances of many of the fairest
daughters of onr country —illustrat-
ing most emphatically the appropri
ate motto of the College: •* Let onr
daughters be polished after the simil
itude of cArtier-slono#*”
The friends Of lhi%iflsutntion are
making liberal sacrifices to rebuild
this stronghold of learning, but are
poor, awPneod help, and, their enter
prise being inudabhs, their efforts must
not fait —they shall not fail. Will
not the friends of education in “good
old Harm’’ comb stp like men—pa
triotic mon; bravo men; Christian
men; truo men; men ever willing to
do their duty to society—with their
offerings of nintorhil aid—hkdkm—
and help to build this College, in
which every man, woman and child
in this cflfmty are interest cd ?
Men of Harris! Wc know you
well. , Youare patriotic, arid liberal
tn ’Wsntmdsnt. <iiur|-viso; you "sup
port the gospel; cheerfully
.to worthy objects of charity; you ap
preciate education and intelligence;
you love your daughters; you edu
cate them liberally, and glory in their
beauty and blight, manifestations of
intelleoliml splendor. Wo know that,
no sll?fßfg r appeal in tlioir behalf is
necessary to arouse you to a full dis
charge of your duty; but kindly take
this method to apprise you of the
facts in the onset that money is needed
to further the "’ojdc jo nobly began.
Do not wait to beloHciU'd to contri
bute to this manty^enterpriso—the
educating of our rip'e —but come like
men who know your duty and dare
do it, and hand your contributions to
Col. Lovelace, who will appreciate
your noble act, mid enroll your names
among the generous and liberal-spir
ited men of the age, Do not lot this
enterprise fail ly your neglecting to
aid just a little with your means—
this would boa sad reflection for you
in life—hut if you assist in the mat
ter liberally, you will have the pleas
ing consolation of knowing that you
did all that men could do in the pre
mises, and that success crowned your
efforts.

A young gentleman living not a
thousand miles from Hamilton, lately
received the following letter. A!
though the wording is to
leave the inference that it is 4 reply
to a previous one, he denies hating
written one, or even knowing who
the author is.; —Ko. \Tsm>it.
February 10, 1573.
Mr. :
Ksteetned Sir:—Your very much
appreciated epistle of Feb. has
been received, its contents noted, and
perused w ith pleasure.
I decided I could not answer the
questions propounded in it until I
saw you, as I think business of like
transaction shonl! be ntfended to in
jMsrson, rather than by the use of the
pen. But as you tinted in yours that
you were very anxious to hear from
me, and insisted that I should answer
without delay, as you would be in
aggravated suspense until you re
ceived an answer to your proposal of
matrimony, I therefore decided to
write without deluv.
1 must confers I felt that I was
very much flattered by the most of
your epis'le, and feel more highly
honored w hen I take into considera
tion the proposition made, connected
with what I feared night he mere
flattery.
None of Cupid's objects can con
ceive of the astounded feelings and
palpitations of a female heart when
such propositions were made hy a
gent!era ap of such high hfarming,
who, in every respect, is worthy of
the hand and heart pi a queen, or of
the most worthy and noble ladies of
the country.
1 repeat ft, my dear %ir: Such feel
ings are not to be imagined by liu
itgtfi, when such proposals were made
to one so very unworthy, and in ev
ery respect so far inferior to the hon
orable gentleman making them.
Hut, sir, being fully satisfied (feel
ing my unworthiners as I do) that
you are too honorable a gentleman to
deceive a lady unable to protect her
self from Imposition, I can but oou
strtto your letter as it really is, ver
batim et literatim. *
You say, sii', that you love, and
that the object of your love is the
author of this non grammatical and
unworthy note.
Furthermore, you ask mo to unite
myself with you and your future des
tiny# 1 have powdered the subject,
oud taken every view of the matter
possible for one of my talent. I have
also taken the privilege of consulting
(without your consent) with Brother
and otlurs with whom 1 think it my
duty to couMilt.
Cu*toni Would not allow me to
give yotra positive answer in the af
firmative, at so short a notice, al
though I enn conceive no reason why
•1 should not accept the proposal, and
feel highly honored in doing so.
But, sir, your very urgent letter,
asking foMLpositive as well ns a hasty
reply, demulls that I should lay aside
custom, and act air my better judg
ment commands.
Therefore, ns I have the utmost
confidence in your honest heart and
the protection of your strong arm, I
throw my heart into your tender
care, and when we m.iy in future
deem it a proper time, I’ll give y>u
my hand, and share with you the
happiness I hope is in the store-house
of matrimony.
1 must desist from fa. thor saying.
I think it a wise idea aSvnnoed by
you, that Isl mid not sign my real
name, but the fictitious one proposed.
Hoping our days in future may be
nothing but ecstasy and joy, I sub
scribe myself, yours, very affection
ately, “MUSCOGEE.”
ri*“ Tko following is what the New
York World has to say of General
Grant’s connection with tlio New
Orleans difficulty:
In nil this gross violation of law,
justice and decorum, the President
has nothing to stand upon but one
vain technicality. He maintains that
it is his duty to enforce tho decrees
of the Federal Courts, and that as
tho establishment of the Kellogg
Government was a consequence of
Judge Durell’s judical action, he is
bound to support it. This defence is
not even specious. If (lie Jdttge of
an inferior court should have a de
menting euilcpiic lit on Tuesday, and
; make a glaringly illegal decision on
| Wednesday, would the President bo
1 under an inexorable obligation to do
that? If a Judge should go on tho
bench in a stale of maudlin, beastly
drtinkoness, and rum, should make a
! decision at ldjiieh law stood agliast,
| would tho I resident have to enforce
it? If it should come out, the next
! day after a flagrantly illegal decision,
I that the Judge was bribed, would
i President Grunt be bound? If tho
j decision of an inferior court is scan-
I dalously illegal, the President may
j properly decline to enforce it until
idler it is reviewed by a higher tribu
nal. Had he disregarded Utu'eli's
notion in Louisiana, the present un
! fortunate difficulty would not have
arisen.

A Fighting Pakhon. —Tl:o Edge
field Advertiser tells the following
anecdote of the late war:
During Longstreet’s campaign in
Tennessee, while a portion of his
army was under a fearful fire of
shells from the enemy, at Campbell’s
Station, a private soldier, within a
few feet of the Colonel of his regi
ment, had both his legs torn off.
The regiment was not ti liting, but
waiting orders, The wounded man
was lifted a couple of yards in the
rear to die. Another private now
marched down the line under a hail
of missiles, and said to the command
ing officer, “Colonel, in ay 1 have a
few moments of prayer with that dy
ing man ?’’ The Colonel said are you
a clergyman ?” The private answered,
“ I am.” “ Then,” said the Colonel,
“do as you desire.” And the man
of God knelt arid prayed with and
for the dying man five or ten min
utes, without moving or swaying his
body, seemingly totally unconscious
of a storm of shot and shell, which,
the Colonel tells us, lie never saw
surpassed in fury. In a few da j s the
praying private was announced in
field otders as Chaplain of the regi
ment—"promoted for gallantry and
piety on the field.” The regiment
was the Hampton. Le,;ion, The Col
onel was Gary. The private soldier
was the Rev. W, M. Thomas, now
pastof of the Methodist Churches of
’our eirenit,
A Bleeding Fa.wily. —Rufus Mitch
ell of Mt loridge, Mass., recently bled
to death from a very slight cut. A
physician tells a very singular story
with regard to Mitchell and his fami
ly: He was one of the unfortunate
men who bleed from the slightest
scratch of tho skin, and many times
has he lain and bled till it seemed
that the blood had all run out, and
then lie would gradually recover.
This time the cut was quite large,
and Ipj lived but very few hours.
There is something remarkable about
this family, who are here termed a
belonging to the bleeding family.
Nono but the males bleed, and they
are the sons of the females of the
same family. For instance, this man
has left children; none of them will
bleed, but if tho girls should have
boys in tbeir families, they will bo of
the bleeding kind, but tlio girls are
thomsolvesfree, and their families will
be the same. I can not explain this.
I have practiced in the family for
more than twenty years. During the
time a number of them have died
from this cause, and others have bled,
often dangerously.”
ESP - Memphis mules appear to
have a keen sense of humor, and to
be fond of playing practical jokes on
their fellow-beings. One of them at
tached to a street ear lately refasod
to budge an ineh until all the men in
the ear got out to push behind, when
lie dashed off at full speed, leaving
them sprawling on the ground. This
fellow is a very good representative
of his class—we mean practical jo
kers, not mules.
