Sporting Intelligence. —The Saratoga Whig gives the details of the great trot which took place there on Tuesday, between Flora Temple and Tacony, the two fastest nags in the world: The match was for mile heats, the beat three in five tb sulky, and Flora Temple was again victorious, winning the first three heats. Time, 2.30—2.31—2.32, The track was very heavy in consequence of the great quantity of rain that had fallen during the night and forenoon previous, but the pro prietor of the course had taken extraordinary pains alter the rain had ceased, so that the hor ses made tolerably good time. The First Heat. —Flora Temple won the pole and took the lead and kept it without breaking up at all during the whole round, coming in from one ar,d a half to two lengths ahead, mak ing the last half mile in 1.14. Tacony up on the first quarter, but his driver toon caught him up so that he lost very little. Time 2.50. Second Heat. —The mare again took the lead and went around again without a break, whilst Tacony again broke on the first quarter and came in some ways behind. Time, 2,31. Third Heat. —Flora Temple had it her own way, making good speed without a break, and Tacony broke up twice, losing by every break. The "betting was pretty heavy at the begin ning of the race, and each horse had troops of friends taking even bets, but at the commence ment of the second heat Flora Temple was the favorite, and the odds were 8 to 12 and 5 to 10, and in one case 100 to 15, but on the last heat the chances were so great in favor ot the mare, that few bets were taken. They are to have another trial on Saturday on the Saratoga course, when we hope the track will be in a little better order. Steamship Racing on the Atlantic.— The New York Commercial deprecates the excite ment which is displayed respecting- the perform ances of the Collins and Cunard steamers. The editor says; “We that merchants and un derwriters, and the public generally, will earn estly discountenance this whole business of bet ting on the performances of our ocean steamers, and converting the Atlantic ocean into a race course. The insurance companies can greatly aid in suppressing the dangerous practice, if they be so minded, and to them the community have a right to look for such protection as they can give. If they raise the rate of insurance as the excitement and betting increase, or refuse to in sure when money is known to be staked upon the rate of speed to be accomplished, the evil would soon be abated.” America in Less than Four Days. We are enabied to announce that by a new and much improved construction of vessels, it will be perfectly practicable to accomolish the vcv age between the United States and ’■he United Kingdom in considerably less than four days; in fact, about three and a half, the ports connecting the old and new world being Halifax and Gal way. This is no speculative statement. It is grounded on experiments which have already been made to test the sailing capabilities of ves sels constructed on the new principle. With the submarine telegraph which is about to be laid dowß between Halifax and Galway, and the passage of vessels in three days and a-half across the Atlantic, America and Great Brit ain will virtually become one colossal country, inhabited and governed by the 3axon race.— English paper. Commencement of Yale College.— The exercises attending the commencement of Yale College, at New Haven, were begun on the 27th inst. An immense coneourse of persons were present. Seven or eight hfrndred gradu ates attended the meeting of the Alumni, and various speeches were made, after which Wm. M. Evans, Esq., of New York, and F. M. Finch, Esq., of Ithaca, N. Y., delivered an ora tion and poem before the Lenonian Society, at the North Church. This is the Society’s one hundreth anniversary. Prof. H. B. Smith, of N. Y., was the orator before the Phi Beta Kap pa. Eulogies were also delivered upon the deaths of Profs. Kinsley, Morton and Stanley, all whom died within the year past. Appropri ate remarks were made by Profs. Silliman, Olmstead and Prof. Siliman, Jr. There are now 11,000 volumes in the library of the college, and efforts are making to increase the salaries of the Professors. [ Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.] Darien, July 29,1853. Editors Republican —Gents: Our ship, ments of Lumber are on the increase. For the year ending Ist September last, there were measured over 21,000,000 feet. Since that date there have been received upwards of $22,000,- 000 feet, and by the close of the business sea son, will amount to about $25,000,000 feet. Eight large saw mills are in operation at this time. Within three years over 500 vessels have passed over Doboy Bar with full cargoes, and in no instance has any accident occurred. One of our oldest pilots says he can take a ves sel from the wharves drawing from 12 to 14 feet water, according to tides, and from Doboy to sea from 16 to 18 feet; and with the aid of steamers, can take 20 teet. Another pilot says he can take from the wharf 13 feet, and over the bar 15 to 17 feet at ordinary full tides. Yours respectfully, p, AUGUSTA. GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING AUGUST 3. TOR. GOVERNOR, HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Os Baldwin County. Live and Let Live. We publish in another column, a communica tion signed “A Burke Planter,” not because we think the writer has any claims on our columns, (for we dislike publishing second hand articles, particularly communications.) but because we think he does great injustice to a class of our met chants who work hard for what they get and always keep in view the interests of their pat rons. Nearly all our Warehousemen • are stig matized by the writer as having entered into a combination tor the purpose, as he intimates, of fleecing the planters out of one hundred per cent, in the shape of commissions. Such is not the fact, and we would ask the attention of planters to the few remarks we have to make on this subject, in which thev are as deeply interested, if not more so, than our,Warehousemen. It has been the practice in this city for several years past, for our Ware ousemen to charge twenty five cent, per bale commission for selling Cotton. When this charge was established, labor, rent and other necessary expenses were cheap compared to the present time, and they all did a fair living business for the amount of capital invested, and nothing more. Within the last year or two, property has risen, and with it rents and labor, but still “ A Burke Planter” would have our Warehousemen labor at old prices when the planter is getting a much better price for his Cotton, and every bale sold by our Waiehousernen for him puts in his pocket fifty cents to one dollar per bale more than if he bad undertaken the sale himself. Fifty cent 3 commission is a’! they now ask for selling, which is the price paid in Savannah. Chailes ton and other mai kets for the same labor. Do not our Warehousemen work as hard for this pittance as those of either of the above cities ? Is there a planter who has dealt with any of them within the past five or six years, who is not satisfied that he has not only saved, but made money by paying them the commission asked ? 4 A Burke Planter” says that may of them have become wealthy in this business. If such is the fact, we are at a loss to know who they are, and will venture the assertion, that take them as a class, there is no set of merchants en gaged in any other line of business, and have the same amount of capital invested, who work harder and receive less compensation for their services and money then our Warehousemen. “ A Burke Planter” has undoubtedly the right to sell his own Cotton if he pleases, and so has every planter in the State ; but when he brings his crop to market, if his next door neighbor will give his to any Warehousemen in the “com bination,” he will find that he has saved money by paying the commission asked. Live and Let Live is our motto, and we feel satisfied that the communication of “ A Burke Planter” will, as it ought to, have but little weight with the intelligent planters of this State. A majority ot them have tried the ex periment of salesnien, and have found that in stead of saving money, they have lost by the operation. We learn from the Hamburg Republican, that a meeting was held on Saturday, the 30th ult., at Matlock’s Methodist Church, Beach Island, for the purpose of carrying out the project of a Plank Road from Hamburg to Barnwell Court House, via Beach Island Silverton. Savannah and New York Steamship Line. —The Savannah Republican of Ist inst. says : We are gratified to learn that this superior line of steamer? is constantly becoming more and still more popular with travellers, and that the advantages of this route to the North and back, are properly appreciated by the public. As late in the season as it is, the Florida left her wharf on Saturday last, tor New York, with 120 cabin, and fifteen steerage passengers. This is cer tainly the best evidence we can furnish of the popularity of this line, and of the appreciation by travellers, of the safety of the vessels, the superiority of their accommodations, and of the urbane arid courteous attentions of their com manders. In all respects these steamships are equal to the best now afloat. We wish the company and their commanders, a continuation of fair freights, full passenger lists, and most prosperous voyages. The British mail steamship Arabia, Captain Judkins, sailed from New York at noon on Wednesday, for Liverpool, with $675,482 in specie, and 101 passengers, among whom were the Hon. H J. Boulton, late Chief Justice of Canada, and family, of Toronto; Sir Charles Lyell, (Commissioner from England to the Crystal Palace,) and lady; Mr. Wm. Mure, Her Britannic Majesty’s Consul at New Orleans; Reverends J. Graham and H. Rohe, missiona ries to Central Africa and bearers of dispatches to Liberia. The LouUviile Courier says there has been no time when the present and prospective pros pects of that city were more marked than now. It attributes this condition of f bings mainly to the fact that Louisville is soon to become a great social and commercial centre, at which will cross the bulk of railroad travel, both between the East and the West, and the North and the South. * Mr. Everett, late Secretary of State, is gene rally known as a gentleman of extensive infor mation, and one who will not “speak without book” on important subjects involving statisti cal facts. From a computation of his, it ap pears that the use of alcoholic beverages cost the United States directly in ten years $120,- 000,000; has burned or otherwise destroyed $5,000,000 worth of property, has destroyed 300,800 lives ; sent 250,000 to prison, and 100,- 000 children to the poor house; caused 1,000 murders and 5,000 suicides; and has bequeathed to the country 1,000,080 orphan children. TheN. Y. money market is well affected by the news from Europe. The Asia brings some large accounts of sales pf American securities, made in London, and.some orders, ' fidence seems also to prevail in a peaceful* tofu tion of the Turkish difficulties. The fighting attitude assumed by Russia will not end in blows. Such is the feeling said to exist, ac cording to private advices, both on the London and Paris Bourses. It is currently reported and believed to be quite authentic, that the mother of the celebrated French patriot, Lamartine, was a Massachusetts girl, named Waitstill Brigham. She married the father of the eminent statesman Lamartine when quite young, in Boston, and then went to France, where she remained during her life. The health of the Empress of France con tinues good. The presence of her sister, the Duchess d’Albe, the only lady with whom she has been able to associate on terms of perfect in timacy and equality since her marriage, doubt less contributes much toward restoring her gaie ty and thus recovering her strength. BY TELEGRAPH. Reported lor the Constitutionalist It Republic. Charleston, Aug. 2, p. m. Cotton. —There is no change in the market to-day. The sales reach 1300 bales at 11 cents. Duel near Charleston. Chaleston, August 2. A Duel was fought this morning, near the city, between John Dunovant of Chester and J. Davidson, Legare, of Charleston. The latter was killed the first fire. Suicide. We learn from a letter from Social Circle, da ted the 31st ult. that a highly respectable citizen of Walton county, Mr. C. W. Buchanan, com mitted suicide on the 30th, by shooting himself with a shot gun. He died instantly. From what we can learn, he had been partially in sane for some time, and attempted to cut his throat in March last. We regret to learn that he leaves behind him a wife and four children. Alleged Mail Robbery — A few days ago, a young man named Wm. Tinnen, was arrested in Fayetteville, (N. C.,) and committed to jail on a charge of robbing the mail. This is pro bably a most important discovery, as the rob beries of the mail between Greensborough and Raleigh have been very numerous for the last few months. The Washington National Intelligencer says that E. S Parker, Esq., an intelligent and will educated Seneca Indian, and a delegate from the remains of the Six Nations of New York, was favored with an interview with the President ot the United btatesaday or two since, on the ' subject of the rather embarrassing affairs ot those , Indians. The result was very gratifying to Mr. Parker, who has returned home highly sa tisfied with the improved prospects opened be fore his people in consequence. The number of admissions to the New York Crystal Palace was greater on Thursday that on any previous one since its opening. The num ber of single admissions was 3,850 ; season tick ets, 1,663 ; the amount of cash received, $1,920 besides $53.14 for the Washington Monument. The exhibition is hereafter to be opened at 9 o’clock, instead of 10 as heretofore. A propo sition to reduce the price of season tickets is un der consideration. The Philadelphia Sun states that a few public spirited citizens have purchased four acreß of the Hunting Park Couise, and intend presenting it to Philadelphia county, on condition that it be reserved perpetually for a public park. New Designs for Silver Coinage.— The director of the U. S. Mint, at Philadelphia, has issued a circular inviting the co-operation of artists, engravers and others, in furnishing new designs for the silver coinage of Jhe United States. Each person is left free to exercise his judgment and skill. An impartial examination will be made of the designs which may be fur nished, and for those three which shall appear best fitted to the object in view, a competent and liberal remuneration will be made. The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser doubts whether the series of “ Democratic Letters on European Matters and American Policy,” that have lately appeared in the New York Times, the authorship of which has been generally at tributed to Kossuth, are really his productions. In Spain a peculiar class of female prisoners is found in the Raclusas. The daughters of fami lies in the upper ranks, are confined for long er or shorter terms at the instance of their relations, for certain transgressions, either in nunneries or in the hospitals termed Casas de Caridad. A junto, consisting of the Governor, the Bishop and a third person, decides on the application. The person to be confined is taken in virtue of a note from the Governor and com mitted to the institution by night; at the expi ration of the term is removed in the same man ner. The prisoner is totally isolated ; during her seclusion no one has seen or spoken to her, or is allowed to know either her station or name, or the cause of her incarceration. Professor Carl. It will be seen by the card of Pr«f. Carl that he proposes on Thursday Evening, August 4, on a wager of SSOO to perform two feats which if he succeeds, will exhibit a degree of strength never before surpassed by any man in this country. The Spanish Minister to the United States. —Don Bravo Gonzales, the new Spanish Minister to the United States, is said to be a man of intelligence and character, has been a member of the Queen’s Cabinet, and is about forty years of age. He is eminently a conser vative, and devoted to the support of the Spanish dominion as it is .and will be the last man of all the Queen’s subjects to agree to the cession of Cuba either to the United States or to any other power. Mr. Calderon de la Barca, the present Spanish Minister at Washington, has not beep, appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs as reported. Being over sixty years of age, he will, according to the usage in Spain, be placed uper. the diplomatic pension list, with a liberal allowance. [communicated.] To Planter* and Country Merchants. A number of Warehouse gentlemen, in the city Os Augusta, having lately formed a combi nation, for the purpose oi charging you one hun dred per cent, more lor *elling your Cotton, than they have been in the practice of doing for many years past, I respectfully call your attention to this attempt to extort from you. As a proof that these gentlemen have, fo r many years past, been satisfied with the prices then received, they have annually renewed a tender of their services, to their “ friends, and the public in general,” and solicited “ a contin uance of the patronage, heretofore so liberally bestowed.” Now, if these gentlemen were not satisfied with the business they had been doing, why did they continue in it ? The truth is, that many of them have become wealthy by this business, and now live in a style of elegance, equal to auy of their neighbors. With this, they ought to be content, and I am willing to add my mite, to enable them thus to live on, but it must beat present prices for selling Cotton, more than which I will not contribute even a single cent. There are Warehouse gentlemen who are not of the “ combination ;” let us all encourage them to the entire exclusion of those who are thus striving to force from the hard working farmer one hundred per cent, more, than with what these Warehouse gentlemen have heretofore been perfectly content. I will not encourage ! such extortion, and earnestly advise you to join me in showing Warehouse keepers that planters and country Merchants know their rights and how to protect them, A Burkk Planthh.

August 2,1853. 6 L. L. ANTONY, Clerk Council. Augusta Market, August 3. REMARKS.— In our| last monthly review, we noticed that the crops, particularly that of Corn, was suffering much from the drought, but since that period we have been favored with copious rains in almost every section of country heard from, and the appearance of the Corn crop has de cidedly improved. Where it was supposed not more than a fourth of a Corn crop would be pro duced, there is now every prospect of.two-thirds to a full crop being made —the latter with late plant ings. At any rate, there is no longer a dread of a scarcity, and the speculative feeling which existed at our la3t monthly review in this article has gra dually given way, and Corn can now be purchased in this market at 70 a 75 cents per bushel, with a lower tendency. The Cotton crop has also im proved in appearance, but some of our planters in this section of the State are complaining of too much rain, and express their fears should the weather continue as it has been the past two or throe weeks, that the plant will take a new growth and shed its present fruit. It is, however, too early in the season to express an opinion of the growing crop, it being subject to so many contingencies bo tween this time and frost. Should we be favored with a favorable season the crop in Middle Geor gia will, no doubt, prove a fair average one. We see by the Albany (Ga.) Patriot, of the 29th ult., that a bale of new Cotton was sold in that mar ket on the 27th, at 11 cents per lb. This is not however, to be taken as a criterion of the forward state of the crop. In the South-western part of Georgia, they have not suffered as muoh from drought as in other sections of the State, and the plant generally matures oarlior than in the Middle, or upper portions of the Stato. The first bale of new cotton last year was receiv ed at New Or eans on the 2d August. Experience has proven that the date of receiving the first bale of new cotton furnishes no criterion forjudging of the probable yield of the growing crop. By our monthly tables published below, it will be seen that the Receipts of Cotton have increased at Now Orleans 217,086 Texas 21,040 North Carolina. 3,286 Virginia 2,720—244,132 Deduot Decrease at Savannah 6,880 Charleston 14,742 Mobile 6,700 Florida 8,314 —36,636 Total Increase 207,496 The Shipments show a small excess to all quar ters, as will be seen by our tables, viz . To Great Britain 61,915 Franco 2,865 Other Foreign Ports 1,246 Coatwise Ports 2,668 68,694 In the above shipments are not included that shipped coastwise from Texas, which is 48,671 bales this yoar, against 39,960 last. The stock on hand at all the shipping ports and two of the principal inland cities, show an excess of 58,418 bales. COTTON.—We have no change to notice in the Cotton sinco our last. It remains in a quiet stato. The receipts tho past month have been very light, as have also been the shipments. Os the present stock on hand the greater portion is in second hands, and as the manufacturing es tablishments in tho immediate vicinity are sup plied a month or six weoks in advance, there are few or no buyers left. Holders show no disposition te sell at present prices, and as there is little or none offoring, we omit quotations.

The Judgeship of the Middle District. —The Citizens of the county of Rich mond, disposed to co-operate with the Citizens of Scriven county,in their recent nomination of a can didate for the office of Judgo of the Superior Courts of the Middle District, are requested to meet at the City Hall, in Augusta, on Wednesday After noon, 4th of August, at 4 o’clock, aug 2 d&ctd ■^^ s The relaxing heats of summer leave behind them a long train of evils. Tho most universal of those are general debility, audits sure|attendant lowness of spirits. For these we can recommend a speedy and unfailing cure, in the shape of Hoofland’s German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia. It is, in our opin ion. a medicine, suigeneris—alone—unapproacha ble. It seems to reach the fountain head of the difficulty in the digestive organization, and thus to relieve the secretions and the blood as the maeeries morbi, or the cause of disease. Its tonic properties give vigor to the membranes of the stomach, and promote the secretion of the gastric juice, which dissolves tho food, while its cordial, soothing, and alterative influence imparts general regularity and strength to the action of the secretive organs, and seem to fortify tho constitution. Such is our own experience of its effects, and we believe it is con firmed by the evidence of all who have tried it, or had an opportunity of witnessing its operation.— For sale by Dr. Jackson, 120 Arch street, july 24 d6&ol DUTY. | 20 p cent. 25 lucent. i j 20 p ct. 20 ip cent. |2O p cent. ; 1 20 p ct. 30 p cent.

It 3 superiority over all other Lini ments is proven hy the miraculous cures it performs, and by the great and constantly increasing de mand. There has been sold within tho past year more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES, and there can be but few persons found who do not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare virtues it pcssesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the creation of the world, has been so successful as an external remedy for all nervous diseases, as this wonderful curative. When applied, it instanta neously diffuses itself through the whole system, soothing the irritated nerves, allaying the most intense pains and creating a most delightful sensa sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which can be attested to by hundreds who were fully ac quainted with the whole circumstance. Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils.—My daughter, when six months old, was taken with a swelling in tho tonsils, which grew larger and lar ger, till when six years old had great difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept, fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at tended her but could give no relict. I took her to the most eminent doctors in the East; they said there was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a sad heart I returned home with her, when she became so much worse that tho doctors had to be called in again ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut off, as tho only means of giving relief. My wife would not consent to this, and she determined to try your Liniment, which gave relief tho very first application, and by a continued use she entire ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy and healthy as could be desired. Your Liniment is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns, headache, etc , and it will remove the most severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked udder in my cow in a few days. George Ford. Peoria, March 20th 1849. Look out for Counterfeits. —The public are cau tioned against another counterfeit, which has late ly made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all tho coun terfeits, because his having the name of Barrel-, many will buy it in good faith, without the knov - lodge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per haps, only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects. The genuine article is manufactured only by 11. G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois* to whom all applications for Agencies must bo ad dressed. Bo suro you get it with the letters 11.

Wil liarn Roulatt, a well-kown Methodist j c^er gyuian, residing at Naples, draws the following amusing but apt comparison, between Dr. M’Lane's j celebrated Vermifuge and a ferret: — A ferret, when placed at the entrance of a rat holo, enters the aperture, travels along tho pas sago, seizes upon tho rat, exterminates his existence and draws the animal’s defunct carcass to tho light. And in like manner I have found Dr. M Lane's American Vermifuge to operate upon worms, those j dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children, i This remedy, like the feret, enters the aperture of the month, travels down the gullet, hunts round the stomach, lays hold of the worms, shakes the j life out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den, and carries their carcasses clear out of the system. This, at least, has been the effect of the Vermifuge I upen my children.” A neighbor of Mr. Roulatt, Mr. John Briggs, ! adopts the simile of the reverend certifier, thus 1 both giving their most unequivocal approval of this great specific, after having witnessed its opera- | tion upon their own children. Let others try if, i and be satisfied. Sold by Haviland, Risloy & Co., and Wm 11. Tutt, Augusta, Ga.; P. M. Cohen & Co., Charles- i ton, S. C.; Hill A Smith, Athens, Ga.; E. C. Janes, Madison; A. A.

SOUTHERN MASONIC FEMALE COLLEGE THIS INSTITUTION, located at Covington, Newton County, Georgia, was adopted by the ' Grand Lodge of this State at its last annual Com. , mnnication held in the city of Macon, and now pre sents its claims to tho world, undor the auspices and | patronage of that Grand Lodge. In making this , announcement, it i 3 desired to be distinctly under , stood that, while the College is now recognized as | tho Protege of the ancient and honorable Order of , Free and Accepted Masons, and is designed as tho exponent of its noble purposes, and the agent of its liberal charities, it was never intended that its gen carl benefits and privileges should be restricted within the limits of tho Masonic Tie. Its Halls are, therefore, unreservedly thrown open for them, spection and patronage of an enlightened and dis cerning Public, who aro assured that, althoughthe creeds and tenets of no particulai moral or religious organization will be inculcated or enforced through out the course of literary pupilage, all will be re spected, and tho Word of God and the principles of piety, enforced with parent kindness and affection, will ever be {regarded as the primnm mobile of disciplinary rule, and the happiest corrective of youthful aberrations. In short, it was the origi nal purpose of tho founders, and is now the design of tho Grand Ledge, that in this Institution, devo ted to all that is pure in morals, sound in faith, and lovely in the mind and manners of Woman, the Bible should be enthroned in its sanctuary of “Light, and shed its hallowing rays over the •whole curriculum of female studies and the forms of College duty, softening the asperities of human nature, and consecrating the affections of pupil and instructor, anticipating the necessity of a sterner discipline, and preparing the way for that unobtru sive yet influential and enviable position in after life, which awaits cultivated, refined and pious wo man. Tho College edifice is a chaste, beautiful and durable brick building, flanked in front by two elevated quadrangular towers, with an open portico or verandah between, and situated iu a beautiful and rptired grove, quite convenient to most of the private residences of the village. The Institution is already supplied with a large and well selected Philosophical and Chemical apparatus of the new est and most perfect models, for instruction and il lustration in the important department of the Phys ical Sciences.ByThe Board of Trustees, under tho direction of the Grand Lodge, have elected Her. Alexander Means, a. m. m. d., late Professor of tho Physical Scionees in Emory College, to tho Presidency of this Institution, and we are happy to say that ho has consented to accept that office. For the personal character of Dr Means, and his entire ability to meet any educational responsibilities which ho may be wiiling to assume, a discerning ; public will require no new guarantee, as he is ei ten ively and favorably known throughout this and : other States. His reputation, in connection with ! tho Georgia Conference Manual Labor School, I from i‘s commencement until the opening of Emory ! Colloge, and his continued and popular labors in i that Institution fiom its very beginning to the pres ent time, warranttheopinionthat.no one i 3 more ably qualified than himself for sustaining the high trust now confided in him. His well known urbani j ty of manners and suavity of disposition, bis high 1 order of intelligence and well regulated piety, eou ! nently qualify him for tho management and con trol of a Female College, i Dr. Means is authorized to visit tho North dur ; ing tho present Summer or Fall, and select, under his own eye, such additions to tho Phsilosophical I and Chemical apparatus as the progressive ad vancemont of the age, in that department, may furnish, and as shall enlarge and complete the set wo already have, so as to give a commanding i®* i portance to the branches of science, and allow the I privilege of rendering attractive and enforcing the | claims about tho kitchen and fireside whore woman presides. M C. FULTON, A.
