Cbf Hamilton Disitar IIV D. W.jj. IIOULLY. 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. — *Qr Twilv© iron enterprises are in operation or projected in Koine, Ga.

Approved, February 24, 1873. 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. cr Washington’s tomb is adorn ed with one ol the neatest cod liver oil signs that a fence dauber ever j ever slapped on any prominent object in that vicinity, iiA?” Eleveu English steamers hive been lost at sea, with all on board, duMiig the past three months. .INO, F.
