fiddler Jiule and Female luHtllutc. 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. • • N. B. —The Institution will open on the td Monday .in September *— As soon as suitable paper can be pro cured ihe Circulars will be issued. . 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 respective “disfr'ets. • [Signed] • O. 0.
