We would call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of Dr. E. K. White, in anoth
er column of our paper to-day. A good school,
suck as that gentleman proposes establishing,
should meet with encouragement any where, and
from hia numerous and respectable references, we
are induced to believe him capable of giving in
struction in that most important branch of educa
tion. -We hope he will meet with proper encour
agement from the citizens of Augusta.

supposed that having been wrecked in the ice
the crew had abandoned her; and made for tin

any of them to land. Next day the bodies wen
picked up dreadfully mangled, and were all in

Mork Indian Muriibrs.— lndian Kpy, July
1-—On Monday last, (2filh,) Capt. J. Wharton
of the light ship Florida, stationed on Carysforc
reef, and 4 of his men, went on shore for the pur
pose of getting a load of wood. Instantly after
landing, Oapt. W. and one man were shot dead;
the other three hiade their escape, two of whom
were wounded, one in the left side, the other in
the arm. The Indians after taking the scalps
and stripping tho bodies entirely naked, (even cut
ting off Captain W’s finger to get his ting) and
stabbing them in several places, retreated to the
bush. The wreckers, or several of them, deseivc
much credit: In the afternoon of tho same day,
they resolved to go on shore at the risk of then
lives and get the bodies; and Capt. Cold, of the
schr Pcdee, Capt. English on board the sloop
Vevalia, Capt. Brigbtman of tho same vessel, and
Capt, Fitch of the sloop Brilliant, with theii
crews, ventured and got the remains which wore
brought to this place the next day, and as decent
ly interred as circumstances would permit. The
distressfcd family also came down and remained
one night, and took passage in the Mail Packet
for Key West.
From the Tneington Herald, July 18.
Important from West Florida.— lntel!-
gence has just been received by a gentleman from
Marianna, that another battle had taken place
between the whites and Indians, in which the
latter were defeated with severe slaughter—num
ber not ascertained. The loss on the part of the
whites was five killed and several wounded.
Flom all accounts we are led to apprehend
serious difficulties the ensuing fall from the Creek
and Black Water Bay Indians, who arP now
prowling about the uninhabited parts of West
Florida, near the herds of Escumbia and Black
Water Bays, to about 500 strong.
Tho Creeks are some of those who formerly
lived in the upper part of the nation, who have
been driven out of the country around us, by the
indefatigable Wellborn, and having joined them
selves to the hitherto friendly tribes about Black
Water bay, are awaiting the completion cf their
crops, to take tho field with renewed vigor and
hostility. Unless some measures are adopted to
nip their enterprise in the bud, our cars will soon
be stuned with their hellish yells, mingled with
the screams of our slaughtered pioneers. It is
the duty, and we hope it is the will of Govern
ment to grant us aid. Let it come, and quickly.
Let the brave Wellborn be set on their trail, and
we pledge our lives on the successful issue of the
contest.
Fromjfhe N. O. Picayune, July 8.
Late Prom Texas. —By the schooner Texas,
captain Parker, arrived at the Balize on Sunday
and bound for Pensacola, we have still later in
telligence from the Republic of Texas. Such as
it is we give. Mr. L. D. Winnou/.,re Worms us
that a fatal duel was fought at m, on the
25th jf Juno, .between L. L* J/.utrcris and Dr.
o'iai. ry GoorL; :h, an ass’-tan : Ejr„ -an in the
Army of Texas. Ur. U. I-a charged Mr. L.
» lu stealing a large sum of money from him,
and persisted in tho truth of the charge. Lau
rens, from the custom of the co mrryy was driven
to challenge, which was accepted. Tho parlies
met near the town of Houston on the 25th inst.
They fought with rifles at the distance of sixty
fiVe yards; tho first fire Laurens fell, the ball of
Ids antagonist having entered his right thigh and
passed through his left. Dr. Goodrich escaped
unhurt. The wound of Laurens was not consi
dered mortal by his physicians, but he died next
day from mortification and distress of mind.
The Houston Telegraph is clothed in the hab
iliments of mourning for the death of Laurens.
We knew him, and do him but partial justice
when wo say he was intelligent, chivalrous, hon
orable and high-minded. He was a native of 8.
Carolina, had been in the service of the United
Slates, and was reporter of the Tcxian Congress
at its last scssien. His death was deeply lamen
ted by a largo circle of friends and acquaintances
whose love and esteem he had gained d uring a
short residence in Texas. So much was he res
pected, -that a donation was made by several citi
zens to have a monument erected to his memory.
—The editor of the Houston Telegraph -allstip
on every young man emigrating to Texas to vis
it the grave of the lamented Laurens and make
a vow to have nothing to do with duelling.
In addition to the above said event, we are in
formed that Powell, more generally known as
“the Spy of Texas,” and one of Deaf Smith’s
men, was killed in the town of Columbia on the
27th ult. A dispute arose ih tho street between
him and Dr. Humphries, when the Dr. diew his
pistol and shot him ; the hall lodged in his breast
and ho died instantly. Powell was of, great ser
vice to Texas during tho late war, and was res
pected and honored for many daring adventures
he had made to the advantage of tho country.
From Velasco we learn that tho crops of corn,
cotton, and oats, were all fine and flemishing in
the surrounding country. A brig called tho Bel
viderc, had arrived at that port with a large num
ber o passengers ; she was lying off the bar. In
an attempt to land some passengers, the boat cap
sized and five persons were drowned, among
them two ladies.
From Mr. Winnemotc we leant that about
1300 of the Texian army had been furloughed.
The present army numbers about 500. The
country was comparatively quiet. Provisions
were very scarce—flour selling at S3O per barrel.
A rumor was prevalent at Galveston that the
Mcxicgn fleet was cruising in the neighborhood
of that place on the 9th and 10th inst.—The na
vy of Texas was on the look-out, and prepared
to give their Mexican foes a warm reception. No
political intelligence from the interior worthy of
note.
From the Albany Argus.
“The true issue.” — Disguise the question as
they may, a National Sank is the leading ob
ject and forlorn hope of the opposition. To that
issue the antagonist parties will come at last it
not at the approaching Session of Congress,
certainly at the autum polls. The ellbrls of the
wbigs to conceal their designs under the pretence
that the administration, having unsettled tho
currency is bound to propose a remedy, and that
they (honest sauls!) having hud no share in
producing the prevalent embarrassments, are not
called upon to suggest or urge measures of re
leif will scarcely deceive even the most superficial
observer of events. ”
It is abundantly evident that a National Bank
is desired as much by the administration as by the
Whigs, for tho simple reason that both parties
are fully aware of the fact that nothing but an in
stitution of that .character can regulate the Ex
changes of the country, and sustain the State
Banks. But the administration is hampered by
ruinous pledges, adopted from personal considera
tions, and is anxious that the Whigs Should pro
pose the remedy to relieve litem from embarrass
ments of their own adoption. We admit tha 1
the administration isin an awkward predicament
an unpleasant dilemma, from which certainly tin
Whigs would bo ready to extricate them, won
their condition and situation purely accidental
but when a whole nation Is made bankrupt l(
elect an ambitious citizen to the Presidency, it ii
too much lo ask that the remedy should proccei
from the sufferers. The condition of the countp
at large is painful in the extreme, and it is n"
doubt the duty of every patriotic citizen to lem
his aid in extricalin, U-i-> n ( rom his embar
a casements; but how can this bo expected when
s vro are met on the threshold by the administra
>l lion, with denunciations against merchants; plans
- to overthrow credit, and charges of oppression
a and overtrading. As long as the author of the
t letter to Sherrod Williams, treading in the foot
i slcj« of his predecessor, denies, that tinkering
r with the currency is the cause cf the evil, what
s can the nation hope from tho remedy he has to
, propose!
3 What will that remedy be! What will Mr.
i Van Buren propose! Jl Treasury bank —making
i Banks of Revenue i Districts—issuing Treasury
r notes—creating the Government into a great
> Banker. Does Mr. Van Buren believe in litis re
■ medy—does he dosired its adoption —is it truly
and honestly his plan —his remedy!—We answer
AW He is in favor of a National Bank—he is
’ even favorable, as n temporary and statisfactoly
i expedient, of mailing the United States Bank the
' fiscal agent of Go vernment, and aiding in its re
■ sumption ot specie paymen's, but we cannot hope
to hear Mr. Van Buren’s wishes on this subject
1 —lie will speak through the immediate power
1 that placed him in offica—he is pledged,& from the
i bottom of Ills heart wishes that two thirds of both
i houses may be enabled to a 'opt some plan !•
■ relieve the country, without Executive ihterfer
-1 cnee—without placing him in a position on the
! one himd to violate his pledges to men, or, on
1 the other, to sacfific e the country to experiments.”
- If this is complinirentary to the intentions and
wisht-s'of the President, it is not flattering, we
admit, to bis character and independence, Wc
> believe, however, tltat it is his true rosition. He
I is not so silly as to embrace the radical doctrines
r of the Loco Focos, and even if he wore inclined
! he will find when Congress assembles that Ben
■ ton will not carry six; votes with him in the Sen
-1 ate and sixteen in the House of Representatives,
and if wo know any Ibing Mr. Van Buren he
; will remain no longer in a minority than he can
make preparations lo retreat gracefully.
It is not, therefore, “a forlorn hope,” as tho
Editor of the Argus calls it; the reis no other
i remedy hut an institution of large capital, capa
ble of extricating tho country from its present
embarrassments, ami in despite of pledges and
, experiments the Argus wish es it—Mr. Van Hu
ron wishes it, and the nation wishes it: there
are no exceptions, perhaps, but a few radicals,
who have not strength to oppose the current.—

Loss of Steamboat Nick Biddle.-—The i
steamboat Robt. Morris, from Pittsburg, reports
that on the sth inst. about midnight, 50 miles

vicane deck under water—officers crew and some
of the passengers saved—lo deck passengers are
known to be lost probably more.— N. O, lice.
Tornado.—A tornado of unexampled violence
r was felt at a place called South Hanover in In ■
diana on the sth instant. About 15 houses were ,
overturned, and laid in tuins some of which are (
Said to have been substantial brick buildings, and (
trees of the largest sizejwero lorn up and blowh ,

totally wrecked or seriously damaged. All this
destruction was wrought in leas than five minutes.
Tho mo rt wonderful part of the accounts is that

An Indian Chief sentenced to Death.
Wo learn from the Milwaukee Advcrtisr that
Ash-e-co-bo-nia, a chief of the Menomonee tribe,
was tried in the U. S. District Court sitting in
that town,3d week in June and convicted of the
murder of Mr. Ellsworth Burnette, in Nov.
1835. The chief was sentenced to Ire hung on
tho Ist September next. He heard his doom
with calm indifference. Ash-o-ma a son ofthc
chief, was tried as an accomplice hut acquitted.
He was, however, convicted afterwards of an as
sault with intent to kill James Clyman, and was
finod‘s3oo, and sentenced to jail five years.
Anotuf.r Musical Genius.—By the follow
ing from the Alhcnteum it would appear that a
prodigy greater than Paganini has appeared in
England. We should like to hear Casolani try
harmoniccs on his leviathan ot an instrument.
We have had tho pleasure (and amazement)
of hearing, in private, the Brobdigtiag Paganini,
recently arrived, who is making our stringed-in
strument players quake before him, and Drago
netti declare that he must have dealings with the
Great Unknown! We mean, in plainer phrase
M. Langlois, the most wonderful artist on the
contrabasso that Wo (and we imagine the world
with us) have ever heaid. What with pizzi
cati, like cannon balls dropped into water, and
flourishes strong, nimble, and surprising, and
singing tones —tho whisper of an elephant—and
harmonics —think of harmonics on the double
bass!—wo should have felt excited beyond all
precedent, had we not also felt a little awe-struck.
It is music to make those who hear “have night
mares in their beds” (as Hood bath it.) We hope
thatthe charm will be tried upon the philharmonic
audience.
Mrss Mautineau.—The London Times,
in an able critique upon Miss Marlinean’s—
“Society in America,,’ lias tho following,
among other pointed remarks:
Miss Martmcau, forsooth, is a very great
1 sage, and seems to have been far more intent
on communicating to her English readers her
own impracticable schemes for what si o es
’ teems 'he amelioration wf her species and the
emancipation of her sex, to favoring them
with a lively and accurate idea of the life and
' country of their American neighbors. The

Amidst the ruins of Baalbec and of Antioch,

the principles which she imbibed before hot

something infinitely ludicrous m the vanity

the circle ot American morals and discovers
the longitude of the impthdmg civilization

Tile consequence of this dogmat ical arro
gance. is merely this—that throughout Miss
Martineau’sß cumbrous volumes her facte and
her inferences invariably contradict each oth
er. But tins is not surprising, for she found
her facts on her arrival, and she brought her
inferences with her ready made. We do noj
doubt the accuracy of her facts, for they al
ways tell against her conclusion; wc doubt
not, therefore, she may be depended upon.
MONTGOM ERYSHI REImoST.
To a town near Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire,
a supervisor of excise, named Thomas, was or
dered to occupy the district of another supervisor,
who had been shifted to another station, as is usu
al with the servants of the excise department: and
having a wife and children, ho proceeded first to
select a suitable house for his family. He had
neven been in Wales before, and consequently he
met with many inconveniences. The only house
vacant, was a large old mansion which stood in
decay at the foot of the mountain; and to this the
supervisor was directed, ns the only habitable
place that was not occupied. On tho first view
of so large a house, all the notion of hecomingja
tenant was abandoned; but ns the place had a
mysterious curiosity about it, tho mansion being
large, the garden being choked with weeds, the
steps leading to the door moss grown, several of
the windows being broken, and tho whole having
an air of grandeur in neglect, he was prompted to
make inquiries; and an old man, lo whom he was
referred as being the only owner, as long as any
neighbor could remember, instantly offered to let
him tho mansion at the small rent of five pounds
a year. The supervisor did not want so large a
house; bat as he Wished to send for his family,
and being obliged lo put tip with his lodgings in
a trilling ale house, he thought it was worth while
to go over the whole and assorlam whcihor a few
rooms could be fitted up comfortably for his ac
commodation, while in tho discharge of his duty
there. Tho lowness of the rent, of course, operat
ed as an additional inducement, and having fixed
upon four or five rooms up stairs, lie struck tho
bargain, got in a few little things until his wife
should arrive with all the domestic equipments
of a family, and forthwith wrote off for her.—
The first night of his sojournment ho lighted a
largo fire to dispel tho dampness, and having ta
ken his cup of grog, he laid down and enjoyed an
excellent night’s rest. On his rising in the mor
ning, his first visit was to a bather’s shop in the
town, in otocr to get shaved, and there several
persons inquired most earnestly how he had slept;
and when he declared that ho had never enjoyed
a better nights rest in his life, every one seemed
amazed. The mystery was now dispelled, and
his eyes were opened by being informed the “Tee
Gwyn,” or “While House,” as tho mansion was
called, had been haunted for filly years hack.—
The supervisor laughed at this notion and avow
edjhis utter disbelief in ghosts. If over lie hud ex
perienced a little ticklishnoss in his nerves, and
the professional shrewdness usually characteris
tic of his calling, raised a surmise that this same
lonely house might he a very snug spot for sort
ing an illicit still; and accordingly he determined
not to be driven out of his now habitation until
be ascertained the fact.
He spent the greater part of the day in rumag
ing tho vaults and every hiding place, but with
out discovering any thing to confirm his suspi
cions. As night advanced, ho threw an extra
log on tho fire, and having borrowed a chair in tho
town, lie threw himself down before it, ate his
bread and cheese, and supped his cup amidst va
rious rumination. At one time he thought his
project rather dangerous in the event of his sus
picions being true, there being no assistance at
hand. He might have his throat cut from car
to car and his body thrown into the tub, while his
wifo and family would bo none the wiser.—Fears
of the living, more than the dead, flitted in sud
den flashes across his brain. At length he re
solved, if ho heard any thing going on, to remain
as quiet as possible, and send all the information
he could to the heads of his department. Ho
could see by his watch that it was nearly twelve
o’clock; hut “nature’s fond nurse” had forsaken
him, and he felt no inclination lo sleep.
On a sudden he hoard footsleps on the stair
case, and he felt his hat involuntarily lifted at
least an inch off his forehead. His heart flutter
ed, his logs did not seem to lilnze so bright—bo
listened anxiously but he heard nothing. After
chiding his fancy for frightening him, he muster
ed courage enough to open tho door, which he
left in that state, and then betook himself to his
couch, after a paralytic sort of a poke at the fire.
Scarce had tho first doze relaxed his limbs, when
he was awakened by a strange clattering on the
staircase, as if ten thousand imps were ascending!
Ha tho panic of the moment he jumped up, and
pushed lo the landing place, whera he distinctly
heard the same imps clatter down the broad slair
case again, making faint shrieking cries, which
died away with the sound of their footsteps, as
they seemed to gain the vaults beneath the house.
It was now manifest that there were other living
tenants in his tenement beside himself —and the
remainder of that sleepless night was spent in
gloomy conjectures. With painful anxiety did
he watch the gay morning breaking in the east—
and when the day hurst forth he commenaed a
most scrutinizing search every where. Nothing
however was to be discovered, not oven a foot
step on the stair case—and he could have sworn
that he really Aid hear his disturbers ascend to
wards the room and then depart.
On his visit to town that morning, the previ
ous day’s inquiries were repealed but he's tenuous
ly denied having been disturbed, for fear he should
be thought a coward. Towards the next eve
ning he determined to ascertain whether any
thing really did ascend the staircase, or whether
it was mere fancy—and for this purpose lie
spread a thick coat of sand on every step, imagin
ing. shrewdly enough, that if his tormentors wore
really substantial, they must leave some tracks
behind them. The night was extraordinary nois
loss; but the supervisor -bad provided himslf with
pistols, and being doubly armed with a lamp also,
ho proceeded down stairs as Lard as lie could*,- —
The imps, however were tod nimble for him and
he could not even gel a glimpse of them.
Again did he search in every hole and corner,
disturbing the poor spiders with the blaze ofhis
lamp; and finding his scrutiny in vain, he was
retracing his steps, when lie rccojlccted the sand,
which in his terrible descent he had forgotten;
when lo! and behold, he perceived, a great num
ber ol tracks! They were too small for old dev
ils, much too largo hi tats, therefore hoconcluded
(hey must bo supernatural beings of some sort. —
The matter assumed rather a serious aspect, and
he determined lo Write to his wife forbidding her
arrival until she heard further from him. All the
day long his brain was racked by conjectures as
lo the species of the creatures that could have dis
turbed his quiet. Fifty times did ho conclude
that it was pertraps a trick, and ns Often tlid lie
abandon the notion as improbable, but then he
could not account for his not being able to see
the authors of tho tracks; and forthwith lie re
solved on another project. He had given up ev
ery idea that rats could have made such a noise,
or (racks so large; he determined to try if a tew
rat traps could solve the mystery.
Accordingly he procured six, which were all he
could get; and on the fourth night carefully set
them in a row, on one of the staircases ; so that
if the devils ascended in a column, he was sure
of catching them as a curiosity. Still he could
not abandon his pistols or his imps, but he deter
mined to bo on guard all night. About life mys
tic hour of twelve, he again heard the devils jum-
J | ping or hoj p ng, as it seemed, up the stairs, a
- while he cocked one of his pistols he heard o
• ol his traps go off, then another, then anuth
i then another, succeeded by appalling shrieks, n
r the same clattering noise down tbo stairs uga
. He proceeded to ihc spot, and there to bis inf
I ito astonishment, he found not a devil, not
■ imp, not any thing supernatural but three f
i rabbits, caaghtby their legs in the traps. T
[ simple act was, that tile inhabitants of an adjqi
ing rabbit-warren used to make their way i
though the sewers into (lie deserted mansini
and their gambols through the empty rooms ill
gave rise to the “Tee Gwyn” being haunted,
is needless to add that Mr. ’Thomas forlhwi
sent for his family, and they now enjoy a hou
and as many rabbits as they can cat, for ii
pounds a year.
A Highland Sentinel’s First Essay.-
lau More’s first duly, we are told, was
mount ouard upon a six-pounder at tl
Queen’s Buttery ; and bo replied to the ms
who gave him orders, “Tat not a bouu o’
body o’ ta wee gunuiesould bo hurt, at a,’ i
a,’ while ho had la care o’jtor.” And In
kept his word ; for he watched over the heai
tilul little piece of ordinance with the grea
est solicitude. It so happened, however, tin
whilst ho was walking his lonely round, a her
vy shower ot ruin began to fall ; and a bine
freezing blast soon converted every parlie!
of it into a separate cake of ice, which ci
against his nose and eyes, and nearly sacrif
ced his face ; so that much us he hud hee
accustomed to the snarling climate ol tli
higher regions ofthc interior of Scotland, h
fell ns it ho would lose his eye sight, from th
inclemency of the weather; ami then he bt
gnu lo reason, that if he should lose his ey
sight, how could lie take care of the gun! Hi
anxiety for the safety of his charge, united l
a certain desire for Ins own comfort induce
him gravely to consider what was host to b
done. He surveyed the gpu, and, as ho dr
so, ho began lo think, that it was extreme!
absurd that he should be standing by its Bid
for two long hours, whilst he might so casih
provide for its security in sonic place of shei
tdr; and accordingly, be quietly removed i
from its carriage, ami poising it very adroitj
on his shoulders, ho carried it deliberately a
way. After an immense fracas in the garri
son, Inn More Arruch was discovered sung in
bed asleep, iiugging the t re gunnie in bit
brawny arms. The Colonel, who had been
called up,and all around him, gave to uncon
trolled hursts of laughter, that speodily way a
waked lau from the deep sleep in which he wat
p.ungcd. Ho stared around him with aston
ishment. “What made you leave your post
you rascal?” demanded t|ic sergeant of the
guard, so much provoked as to forget himself
before the commanding officer. "Nay, nay,”
said the Col., who already knew something ol
lan, from the letter which he received Horn
his chief, "you cannot say that ho has left Ids
post; for you see that he has taken his post
with him.’ ‘ls na ta wee bit gnnnic as wool
beside her nasell here!” said lau, with an
innocent smile. “Is she na rnocklc heller here
aside her nanscll, nor wi’ her nansell stannin,
cuud and wool, aside. Her yunder ta baltry!”
“Well, well,” said the Colonel, after a hearty
laugh. “But how did you manage to bring tho
gun here!” “Ou, troth her nansell cur
ried her,” replied lan. "Como, I lien, said
the Colonel, “if you will instantly carry it
back again to the place whence you took it,
nothing more shall be said aboulit.” “Touts!
but she’ll soon do tat,” replied lan, starling
out of bod; and immediately raising the gun
to his shoulder, ho sat out with it, followed by
the Colonel, and every one within reach, and,
to the great astonishment of all of them, be
marched slowly and steadily towards the bat
tery with it, and replaced it on its carriage,
amidst the loud dice's of all who behold him.
Highland Rambles by Sir Thomas Dick
Lauder.
“Oxpossidle to stop*”—A Boston paper
gives a story ot an Irishman, imprisoned
tor on offence for which he is liable to bo in
dicted, wished his council to inform tho Court
that his business is such that it will he very in
convenient fur him to stay after Wednesday
next. 1
This reminds us of an occurrence many
years ago iu one of our Courts of Justice—the
venerable Buy presiding.
In this case the subject was a Frenchman
(wlio are liable to ns many mistakes and bluh
ders, as Hie sous of tbo Emerald Idle.) Johnny
Crappcaw had a true bill found against him for
the removal of a watch from tho fob of cue of
our most respectable citizens, he was accor
ding tried and unfortunately for him the evi
dencojwas so strong that Johny was sentenced
to be whipped in our market place, ou tlie
week following.
Tho poor Frenchman could not stand this.
Hu was to be whipped—whipped in the pub
lic market —“dis would not do”—and when
called upon to shew cause why the fcnlcncc
should not bo passed upon him, stated that he
had two reasons; Ist. That lie was not accus
tomed to do trial in a Court db Justice, dat
ho was not one cut-treat, nor vun swindler—-
dat he should be try by one Court d’Honeur.
And lastly, that the French Consul had take
his passage for Bordeaux; dc vessel was ready
to sail, an he could not vait,an if doy wanted to
vip, dey must vip a once, it was onpossihlc for
him to vait till next week, dey must vip ul
vouce.
He had let off his ritoarn, and was quietly
escorted back to the four walls of the jail.—

fIMIK undersigned, as a Board of Visitors, utien-
Jl ded the examination of the young ladies he.
longing to this institution, under tho charge nnd di
rection of Mrs. S. D. Hi-ked, on the 27m of Jane.
Tire Hoard is aware that it is too oftea the practice,
on such occasions, to praise indiscrirninur/dy the
conduct of pupils nnd instructors, yet, in this in
stance, deem it lint justicetq suy, that they never i
witnessed anexamirmiion which afforded them more i
unfeigned sntijfnctiun, or one that reflected more ,
credit, Imlh on the pupils and their instructress
The young ladies were examined thoroughly in all ;
the different branches of education in which they
had been engaged during tho term, and evinced, by ,
their prompt and ready answers, their perfect know I- .
edge of their studies. There was nolle of that in*- I
plicil reliance merely upon the powers of memory,
1 that usually characterize female exinninuliuns,
though the young ladies frequently explained the
i principles of science in the author’s own language,
and answered “ from the hook," jot their prompt
answers and explanations in their own language,
■ clearly evinced that they hud been taught un
ikrstundmglij, and that Ihe judgment had boon
exercised ns well as the memory. The Board he
, licvcs ibis plan to ho the only rothmilono of im
part! g instruction; nnd Mrs. Speed, from long ex
perience in tho art of instructing young ladies, par
ticularly on this plan, has succeeded admirably, mid
gained the approbation of the patrons of learning in
every community in which she has hitherto been
engaged ns on instructress Among the patrons ol
! tins school, tile Board lake great pleasure in staling
that they have hftard but one opinion, gild that is
one of unqualified approbation and delight.
1 Tho above is only a feeble tribute to ilia merits
ot Mrs Speed and her pupils.and in conclusion the
Board /-hccrlnlly recommend this sehp-A to the. pa
