The system of separate confinement adopt ed in the new Penetentiary of Philadelphia, some particulars of which have been publish ed ill this paper year since, appears thus far, to have answered every purpose expected from it. So far fromits being considered by the inmates system of cruelty, one of them, whose term ofimprisonment is about expir- ing, has made application not to be set at li- berty until next spring; and the effect on another, whose term has expired, is believed to be an entire reformation. The Physi- clan of the institution, Dr. Franklin Bache, states that the convicts enjoy their health, are comfortable, and is perfectly satisfied that the entire seclusion of criminals from all association with their fellow criminals, is al together compatible with their profitable em- ployment at useful trades, and with the pre- servation of their health. The system is yet an experiment; but should it succeed, as these facts induce the belief that it will, it will be the means, most probably, of effecting ge- neral reform in Penitentiary punishment.

have so repeatedly reminded my friends and the public, of the necessity of their lend ing a liberal support to the establishment, that were I to continue the call-witrout an a. pology, it would seem to carry tone of com plaint with it, This is far from my intention; it would be treating a generous and liberal public with great injustice and ingratitude. The support has been beyond my expecta- tions but at most it necessarily must be in- considerable in a town of the age and limited population of Tuscaloosa.
 Ibeleve all will admit that Book and Sta tionary establishment is an important acqui- sition to our town, and permanent benefit to the country-and such will permit me again to remark, that its present success, until our public institutions are further advanced, re- quires all the support that the liberal and well wishing can bestow.

s. .John's Day.-This masonic festival was celebrated in handsome manner by the ira ternity of this place, on the 27th ut. A pro- cesson was formed at the Lodge room at half past 10 o'clock, from whence they proceeded to the Episcopal Church. Service was intro duced by singing the following appropriate anthe n, written for the occasion:
 To Heavens high Architect all praise.
 All gratitude be given, Who deign'd the human soul to raise
 By secrets sprung from Heaven Now swells the choir in solemn tone,
 And lowering Angels join;
 Religion looks delighted down,
 When votaries press the shrine. Blest be the place! thither repair
 The true and pious train:
 Devotion wakes her anthems there,
 And Heaven accepts the strain , Our Rev. Brother MULLER, of the Epis- copal Church, delivered feeling and impress sive discourse on the occasion, setting forth the beneficial effects of the institution, in a truly Christian spirit of universal charity and good will. Although he evinced warm de- votion to the cause of Masonry, his language was so consolidating and inoffensive, that even the most scrupulous opponent could scarcely take exceptions. We regret that press of other matter compels us to omit it's publica- tion this week.
 The ladies displayed much taste in fitting up and adorning the Church with festoons of evergreen, and they gave the highest possible finish to the picture by attending in goodly numbers themselves, to witness the solemn and interesting ceremonies Service was clos cd by singing the 133d Psalm How vast must their advantage be,
 How great their pleasure prove, Who live like brethren, and consent
 In offices of love!
 2 True love is like that precious oil,
 Which, pour'd on Aaron's head, Ran down his beard, and OCT his robes
 Its costly moisture shed.
 S'ris like refreshing dew, which does
 On Hermon's top distil
 Or like the early drops that fall
 On Sion's fruitful hill.
 For Sion is the chosen seat,
 Where the Almighty King
 The promised blessing has ordain'd,
 And life's eternal spring.
