Commencement of the Georgia Female
College.
The public Exercises of the Baptist College, loca
ted in Madison, came off lest week, eommencing on,
Tuesday the 28th ult., aud concluding on Thursday
the 80th.. The time having been changed from the
Summer to Fall. We had the pleasure of hearing
the examinations of Tuesday afternoon, and wre
highly entertained ; th* intimate acquaintance *x
hibited by the young ladies of the Junior Claa*.
with the solution of Algebraic problems, was truly
admirable, their demonstrations were perspicuous,
and their figuring on the Board neatly executed.
The Senior Class in Astronomy displayed consid
erable knowledge of the principles of Astronomical
science, and reflected much credit upon themselves
and their teachers Prof. Loud exhibited Eclipses
projected by the young ladles, and among them was
the recent Lunar Eclipse, and calculated by different
members of the class for different latitudes. The
thorough course of training through which the
young ladies of this institution nro carried by their
able, efficient and faithful instructor*; ia a sufficient
guarranty to the assertion that all the examinations
were credit® le.
On Wednesday morning the members of the Ju
nior Class presented themselves with Compositions
in hand to entertain the audience with an exhibi
tion of their mental culture, powers of mind, and
knowledge of the elements of Rhetorical excellence.
It bring inconsistent with our notions of prudence to
specify in noticing such exhibition, we forbear doing
so, and beg leave to bestow a tribute of praise to each
member, for the thoughts aril elevated sentiments
contained in their Compositions, and for the clear
and distinct tone in which they were delivered.
In the evening at 7 o’clock, commenced the regu
lar anual Concert. The house was filfod to over
flowing with souls eager to drink in “music’s vo
iumptuous swell.’’ Many choice and beautiful se
lections from the most reputed musics! authors were
executed with considerable skill and effect, and
were received with groat applause by the audience.
The Concert augmented the favorable impressions
heretofore entertained towards the Prof, of music.
Our mind was wholly absoihod in the performance
of a Solo by little ilmi* Elisa Peeples, she being too
small to reach the keys of the piano when sitting
stood on her feet, and executed the “ Ocean Wave
Schottmh,” with a degree of skill truly astonishing;
she is seven years of ago; wo estimated her valve
at tirenty tli-ounand dollar*.
We would advise the Board of Trustees on all such
occasions to demand the services of the Town Mar
shal as his legitimate duty to suppress disorder.
Thursday morning the Senior Exhibition came
off. The Class though few in number, supplied the
deficiency in quality; tbeir Essays would have
done credit to older heads. In view of such mani
festations of female genius we rejoice in the rapid
progress of mind, and in our female Colleges and
Schools we recognize the burning lights which are
fast dissipating the Cimmerian darkness which has
so long shrouded the female mind in the mazes of
ignorance. President Brown delivered to the Grad
uating Class the regular Diplomas, and in addition
to them, certificates to the effect that they had pros
ecuted their studies a month or two after they were,
according to the time required regular graduates of
the College. lie accompanied those certificates with
a brilliant and touching address to the young ladies,
and cited them to one of their predecessors, as a
model worthy of imitation, who has consecrated her
self to the service of her Creator in endeavoring to
extend His Kingdom into heathen lands. In the
afternoon, Rev. A. T. Spalding delivered a chaste
;,nd beautiful Address to the Melpomenean Society ,
upon “Mythology a s linked with religion.'’ This
Society is an organization among the young ladies of
the College for their mutual intellectual improve
ment, and we deem the enterprise worthy pfencour-
agement.
The young ladies in this Institution have an op
portunity afforded thorn for learning the arts of Wax
uark and Painting. We saw exhibitions of their
genins in each of these Sciences, and considered
them superior to anything of the kind wo had ever
seen. Fruits resembled the products of Nature so
much as to put the teeth on edge to bite them; like
Halleck, “tee could not spare the luxury of believ
ing that all things beautiful are what they seem.”
The instructress in the fine art of Painting posseses
superior abilities, many of her specimens of land
scape pinti"g, mountain scenery, &c., are calcula
ted to fill the bosom of every individual of aesthetic
temperament with admiration.
The Georgia Female College Is too well known to
require commendation at our hands. The time of
holding it* Commencement Exorcise-s ia changed to
July again, the former period. Rev. Carlos W.
Stephens has been elected to the Professorship of
Belles Lettres, and wiilentor upon the duties of his
office with the next Term.
Complimentary Resolutions.
Pfnfield, Ga., Get. 18th, 155(3.
At a meeting of the Students of Mercer Universi
ty, held this day in the College Building, Mr. I. A.
Wilson, of Talbot ton, was called to the Chair, and
T. W. Davits, of Alabama, appointed Secretary.
On motion the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the Itov. N. M. Crawford, D. J)., has re
signed the Presidency of Mercer University, and ha*
this day tendered to us, the students, a kind farewell,
be it therefore,
Resolved , That wo deeply regret to part with our
respected President, that we shall ever remembev
him with highest esteem and affectionate regard; that
we shall never cease to cherish a grateful sense of
the kindness and courtesy which have marked all
his intercourse with us, and that our * vst wishes for
his happiness will attend hno-xvhcrevcr his lot may
be cast.
Resolved, That in his departure the University
loses a faithful officer who has long supported it by
hi* extensive influence and able services, and that
we are deprived of a Jvienel, whose place it will be
hard to supply.
Reached, That vre most cordially recommend Dr.
Crawford to the Students with whom he is soon to
be connected, and assure tin m that will find in him
an accomplished scholar and an obliging officer; and
we congratulate all who may have the privilege of
of associating with him, on the accession to their cir
cle of one distinguished no less for the amenities and
virtue of private life, than for the more striking qual
ities, that fit him for pubi c station.
Readied, That a copy of these resolutions be pre
sented to Dr. and that they be published in the
Crusader and Index, and that the Mississippi true
Witness be requested to copy the same.

Prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh.
JSew York, March 19, 1851.—This is to certify
that I have been troubled for almost four years with
a choking sensation, sometimes so bad as almost to
suffocate me; I employed two regular physicians, but
to no purpose. I was then persuaded to try a. bottle
Oi Dr. .M Lane s Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared-by
k leming Bros., Pittsburg. I took two teaspoonsful
at one dose. It to opera*.-, when it made
thorough work. (I had a regular worm factory
within me.) 1 should judge it brought away from
me some.two quarts of wormy; they had the appear
ance of having bursted: J took the remaincr of the
bottle at two doses. The effect was, it brought away
about one quart more, all chopped to pieces. 1 now
feel like a different person.

Remarkable Cure of Dyspepsia.
Gorham, Me., March Id, 1851.—Mr. H. Hay-
Dear Sir—Through me ypu may confidently recom
mend the Oxygenated Bitters, as the best, if not the
only medicine that will cure Dyspepsia. I suffered
for more than sixteen years as only a dyspeptic can
suffer, tried numerous medicines, and the skill of
many physicians, but found no permanent relief un
til I obtained from you the above Bitters.
The contents of three bottles so for restored un
health, that for the last two years I have had no oc
casion for medicine. I strongly recommend all Dys
peptics to try. JOSEPH W. PARKER.

Opinions of the Press,
We take pleasure in referring to the virtue of Da
vis’ Pain Killer. We have ueed thearticle and found
it valuabie. The sale of this article in the United
States is beyond all precedent, as the books of tire
office will show.—Cincinnati Commercial.
Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer.—We first heard of
this medicine during a visit to the New England
States, and being struck with the novelty of the title,
were induced to make some inquiry about it; and we
were surprised to learn that it was kept constantly
in the houses of most of the inhabitants of the cities
and villages where we stopped, to be used in cases
of sudden attacks of pain, burns, scalds, &e., and we
heard it spoken of in terms of high commendation,
both by druggists and physicians.—[Philadelphia
Eagle.
Perry Davis’ Pain Kilter.—lt ia a real pleasure to
us to speak favorably of this article known almost
universally to boa good and safe remedy for burns
and other pains of the body. It is valuable not only
for colds in the winter, but for various summer com
plaints, and should be in every family. Tho casual
ty which demands it, may come unawares —Chris
tian Advocate.
Valuable Medicine.—The sale of that remarkable
and truly valuable preparation, Perry Davis’ Pain
Kiilcr, is constantly and rapidly increasing. During
the past year, the demand for this great remedy has
been altogether unprecedented. Scarcely a week
passes by, during which we do not hear of some re
markable cure having been performed, within the
circle of our acquaintance, by the use of “Perry Da
vis’ Pain Killer.”—Prov. Gen. Adv. 44
Sold by all Dealers in Family Medicines.
Liberalty of Physicians.
It has always been said that physicians would dis
parage any reniody, however valuable, which they
did net originate themselves. This has been dispro
ven by their liberal course towards Dr. J. 0. Ayer’s
preparations. They have adopted (hem into gener
al use in their practice, which shows a willingness to
countenance articles that have intrinsic merits which
deserve their attention. This does the learned pro
fession great credit, and effectually contradicts the
prevalent erroneous notion that their opposition to
proprietary remedies is based in their interest to dis
card them. We have always had confidence in the
honorable motives of our medical men, and are glad
to find it sustained by the liberal welcome they ac
cord to Such remedies as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and
Cathartic Pilis, even though they are not ordered in
the books, but are made known to the people through
the newspapers.—Now Orleans Delta.

“When Coldness wrapa this suffering cinv,
Ah : whither strays the immortal mini.
It cannot die, it cannot stay,
But leaves it's darkened dust behind.”
On the 28th of October, in Muscogee county, Ga.
Mrs. Elizabeth D. JonxsoN, wife of R. G. Johnson.
The writer was an eve witness of her suffering, which
was long and painful, she was taken sick about the
20th of August, her disease was Typhoid Fever.—
She struggled with the disease until the 28th Oct.,
10 minutes before 2 o’clock in the morning, when
the spirit was released from the body and took its
flight from earth to Heaven. (I think) she was in
the 48th year of her age, and had been a member
of the Presbyterian Church for nearly twenty years;
and when-Death criled, she was not afraid to meet
him—she was cairn and patient amid all the suffer
ings of the body. She has left a disconsolate hus
band, one daughter, four sons, an aged father, and
many friends to mourn. But they sorrow not as
those without hope. She requested them to meet
her in Heaven. A FRIEND.

Dropsical Symptoms, Mrs. Imma Huntley, of Hous
ton, Tex. s, aged 45, but fall was thrown upon a bed
of sickoe-is, her feet and legs began to swell, strong

she could not recover, so dreadful was the attack.—
After trying many remedies without beaeit, Mr.

cured. These Pills will also cure a!i bilious and liv

uable tract of LAND lying on Beaverdnm creek, 2
miles below the village of f’owelton, and readily re
cognised as having recently belonged to R. Burnly,
Esq. Said tract embraces 1050 ACRES, more or
less, one hundr ed of which are cleared, the baliance
in the woods. To a man wishing to engage in the
lumber business, this place offers rare inducements,
as the greater portion of it Is heavily timbered pine
land, with a good market for all the lumber that can
be sawed. There is, also, a strong probability that
the Warrenton and Macon Railroad will be built, the
surveyed route of which runs in a mile and a half
of the place. If built the place would be almost in
valuable. There is, already, a good saw mill on the
premises, with sufficient water power, winter and
summer, and by repairing the dam the purchaser
can commence operations immediately- a good farm
can be carried on at the same time, as the tract con
tains about 250 acres of excellent oak and hickory
land, all of which arc uncleared, lie well and well wa
tered.
The terms of sale are, one-third cash, —the balance
in one and two years, with interest. Any informa- j
