The “'rasters of this Institution,
take pleasure in announeing'to it-; for
mer patrons, and the public generally,
thattjney have elected to the 1 ‘rcsiden •
e j of the Institution, the Rev.,- Dr.,
M\ H. QiPllft, and that ho has been
prevailed upon to accept the position,
lie proposes to place the Institution
Oft high Collegiate ground;—adopting
such a course. of study, as will entitle
its utudents to graduation in. any insti
tution. • .. ....
He will bring around him, a Facul
ty every way qualijircl for the positions
they will .fill, and from his experience
•—his high testimonials of capacity as
nn instructor of youth “; arid a rigid
disciplinarian, we cannot see jvhy the
institution should not lake as high a
position as any id our country'. It is ■
universally aeceoded tlia.t in point ,of
health,. Thomasville possesses advan
tage over any other town in South
western Georgia, and parents may feel
safe in seeding, their children here.
That the public may know something
of the factor's.ability both as an in.
struct<?V, and disciplinarian, we would
call attention to the following ex
tracts .
• Extract from the first annual report,
of the Hoard of Trustees, of the Fort
Collegiate Institute.
Dr. Capers, and his excellent lady
took charge of the Collegiate Academy,
at a tiipe when its most sanguine sup
porters and friends, had ceased to hope
Ibr its success. From its. prostrated
Condition, in the short period of ten
months, if has been elevated to a posi
tion of unjriyu'ed popu'grity., and we
feel no hodqtion in saying, that in our
judgement, it is one of the best, if not
the first Female College in this, or
of the adjoining States. Dr. Oa-.
pers is evidently qualified for the sta
tion he fills, bofM as an instructor of
the youth 0/ o<u country, and iis a
disciplinarian,”
Extract from the first annual report
of the Hoard o{ Visitors, through their
chairman, Kev. K- Marshall, D. D.
“The aiiiiosf unexampled success
qfth is Col Leg iatg 4^,cad(quy, the brilliant
display of ii aturjpg mind, the wonder 1 ’
i'gl pefecti.on attained by every class,
in every bfaqeh of their studies;
the exquisite and elegance of the
compositions; the lnnv-like and grace
ful manners of the;pupils, the lore and
affection exhibited between teachers]
and pupils, as welt as their utiiei sub- .
mission to.the must. rigid discipline,
have all combined to m extent here
tofore unknown amongst us, to con
vince tlie Visiting Committee., and
we believe all nnjeutial witnesses, that
this institution deserves to rank
nmopgst the foremost seats of learning
in our country. We feel assured that
the public will concurwith us, when
we say, that a more rigid and satisfac
tory examination could not have been
giv e n ; nor do we ever ex pec t to wit
ness any thing superior to it.”
“ It is too often the case that the
manners and habits of the young ia
dies are neglected wliile jthey are be
ing - taught the principles of science
olid literature. But/ this important
branch of female culture could not. be.
neglected, or imperfectly attended to,,
where the accomplished wife of the
Rev. Dr.'C vPEits, devotes herself as
glic has done, to the. refinement and
gracefulness of the young ladies under
her Her attention, her kind#
tress, her gentle and loving care, have
embalmed her name and memory in
the hearts of all the pupils of the In
stitution, and awakened a generous and
grateful regard for htr in the bosom of
their parents, which of itself, is a large
and lasting reward.’’
At the expiration of three y ears,.
Dr. Capers resigned the Presidency
of the Port Gibson Collegiate Acade
my, £Jiil accepted the Presidency of
the Southern Female College. We
notice in th# various Reports from both
College, during a period of eight
Yars, the Doctor continued to sustain
Kis high character, both as an instruct
tor and disciplinarian.
We take the liberty of making an
extract from a letter published in the
Vicksburg Whig , from the Rev. T. 0.
Thornton, p. D., : who for “thirty years
“had presided over Male Colleges.”—
-The Doctor had “heard much of the
internal regulations of the S. F. Cob
Jegc. and visited it that he might see
for himself.’* The results are given
jn the following extract.
“ Will yom allow me a word con
cerning the Southern Female College?
T know comparatively little of the in>
I ternal regulations of female schools, 1
1 hut. I must say, this comes nearer to
what I think a female College ought to
be than any I have overseen anywhere.
Such system and order I have never wit
nessed in any school North or Soi l'll.
To see a family of largely over a . hun
dred, regulated in every thing, even
the most minute, b_v rule, and from the
highest to the lowest, attached, in any
■ way to the Institution, as- professor,
schoßar. or servant, all—all acting-on
the principle” of “ order as Heaven’s,
first law,” is.what-I never expected to
seO anywhere in any'school", and espe
cially one. for Southern young ladies.
I only’add, to see so many young
ladies under the same roof, healthy,
cheerful, happy, and obedient to rule
and.order, and at the same time so
much attached to their President, his
lady and their instructors, as such, is
a rare thing. This is “ home educa
lion,’’ and education as it ought to be.
At some future period I 4 will give a
more extended notice.”
With the above testimonials in fas
vor of Dr. Capers, we call upon the
churpjj, and the friends of the Insti
tution, to rally once more* to its sup
port. In the future of our country,
we will have nothing to bestow upon
our children, but the advantages of a
finished education. This we must
give them, or we wjll. be highly culpa
ble in the estimation of intelligent
minds. Southern youth must in fu
ture, be educated at home. Self res
pect, parental love. economy, health,
the claims of posterity, and the claims
of home demand it. We can, and we
must, have our own Institut’otis. We
can and must, have o&r own native
teaches. It has been a sad mistake,
that our people were not qualified to
teach.. We have always been quali*
fied for manirig and guiding the ship
of science, but, were not willing to
take the meager salaries,, whieh others
earnestly sought after. We cun. and
must have our own text-books the
fruit qf native scholia rship. We have*
now an opportunity of building up our
Institution, and placing it upon an
immovable basis. . Let us then, make
if, bv our influence and support, - all
that the friends of “ home education ”
can desire. • •

. important Circular*
. • •• siiinut()n, July 12.
The following ..important circular
was issued to-day from the Freed man's
Bureau : . ’ . “ . / .
Circular No. 11] / \
The Assistant Commissioner will be
careful in tfie establishment of sub*
districts to }iave. the officer.or his agent
at some point easy of access foi the
people of the. sub-districts... He will
have at, least one agent, either a mili
tary officer or enlisted man in each
sub-district. This agent must be thor
roughly instructed in his duty. He
will be furnished with the proper
blanks for contracts, and will institute
methods adequate to fill the wants of
his District. No fixed rates will be
pre-scri bed for a district, but in order
to regulate fair w r ages in given indi*
vidual cases, the agent should have in
view the minimum rates for his own
guidance, by careful inquiry as to the
hire of an able bodied hand when pay*
meht to the master will have an ap
proximate test of the value of labor.
He must, of course, consider the en
tire change of circumstances, and be
sure t}ie laborer has dus protection
agaifist avarice and extortion. The
wages had better be secured by a lien
on the” crops or land. Employers are
desired to enter into written agree 1 *
meats with their employees, setting
forth stated wages, or insuring an in*
terest in the crops or land, or both.. .
All such agreements will be ap*’
proved by the nearest agent, and a
duplicate filed in his office. In case
: there should be no agent in reach, the
nearest postmaster will forward a du
plicate of contract directed to the
Assistant Commissioner for the State.
Attention is especially called to sec
tion four ot the law establishing the
Bqreau, with regard to setting apart
lands to every male citizen, whether a
refugee or freed man, sc, and the same,
arrangement is recommended .when it,
can be effected between private parties.
Already many farmers have rented
lands to freedmen and refugees. This
course is a recognition of the great
principle of law. In order to insure
the fulfillment of contracts by both
I contracting parties, the Commissioner
I of the Bureau lays down no general
! rule. The Assistant Commissioner
1 must use the privileges and authority
he already has.
The Provost Marshal, the military
Commission, and local courts, where
the freedmen and refugees have actual
. rights with other people, .arc open to
his use. In the great majority of cas
6S--his.own arbitrament, or that of his
agents, or the settlement of referees,.
.wil be sufficient. No assistant Com.
missiorter or agent is authorised to tol
erate compulsory unpaid labor, except
for the legal punishment of crime.—
Suffering may result to some- extent,
but suffering is preferable tq slavery,
and it to some degree the necessary
consequence of events. . In all action
the officer should never forget that no
substitute for slavery like apprentice
ship without proper consent, or peon
age, that is either holding the people
by debt, or confining them without
consent to the land by any system will
be tolerated.
The Assistant Commissioner will
designate one or more of his agents to
ucp as General Superintendent of
Schools, one Ibr each State, for refu
gees and freemen. These officers will
work as much as possible in conjunc
tion with State officers, who may
have school matters in charge. If a
general system can bg adopted for a
State, it is well; but if not, lie will at
letst take care of all that is being done
to educate refugees aqd freemen Se- .
cure proper protection so the . schools,
and teach or promote method -or effi-;
eiency, and correspond with benevo*
lent agencies which are supplying this
field; and the Assistant” Commission- ’
ers in makirpg their required reports.
Surgeon C, W. Homer, Chief Medi
cal t fficer of the Bureau, will have the
general supervision of medical matters
connected with refugees and freedmen.
The Assistant Commissioners will in-.
struct, their medical offiepj-s to make
the Medical Department .self-support
ing as far as possible. •
All public addresses of a character
calculated'to create discontent are rep
rehensible, but the Assistant Commiss
ioner and his agents must explain by
constant recapitulation tbe principles,
laws and regulations of the bureau to
all parties concerned.. It is recom
mended to the Assistant Commission
ers to draw up in writing a careful
summary, to be publicly and privatelv •
read bv the agents throughout their
‘J .V.- O I
