SCIENCE,

TEVHE Jefferson Academy, at Elyton, un- M der the Superintendance of C. G. Me PETERSON, A. B. has commenced it's seccnd session, with the most fattering prospects. Although in it's infancy, such isthe confidence the public entertain of the fitness and qualifi- cations of the conductors of this institution, that it now numbers between fifty and sixty students, of which about twenty are engaged in the Latin and Greek languages.
 TERMS PER SESSION OF FIVE MONTHS. For spelling, reading and writing. ........6 co English Grammar, Geography, Arth- Languages and other higher branches..12 % Board can be had ct respectable houses at from six to eight dollars per month.
 The Trustees have employed the Rev JOHN WILLIAMS as an assistant teacher, which enables MT MCPHKRsoN to devote his atten- tcn principally to the students engaged in the higher branches.
 A strict course of moral department is ob- servable in this institution, with strong de- sire to- make each student thorough in what he may learn; and from its healthy situation, the cheapness of board, and it's incipicnt pros perity, the trustees feel justified in recom- mendng it to the patronage of all persons wishing to educate their children.

TUSCALOOSA FEM ALE ACADEMY.

TEVHE Trustees of this Institution, having -E been informed that rumors have gone abroad that there is no Female School in opc- ration at Tuscaloosa, deem it adviseable to in- form the community that such runners are t,,- tirely groundless.

The iuion which has been effected was designed, and it is confidently hoped that it will have the elf ct, to unite the feelings and interests of the wllcle community, upon the highly interesting and all important subject of Female Education. This union too, places more ample fund un. der the control of the Board of Trustees, and they hope thereby to be able to make the In :. stitution equal to the highest expectations of it's most sanguine friends.
 The first session of the Tuscalocsa Female Academy commenced on Tuesday, tie 9th inst. under the management of Miss LIEN E. HowE, and Mrs ROBINSON, of who c qu,- lificaticns it is deemed unnecessary to speak, the community having had ample 1n oofs of their abilities in their occupation.
 Arrangements have been made for ,,roc, r. ing another instIhctress. who is exIm cted in the course of the present Autumn. Measures nave also been adopted fer the prot nrem1It of some gentleman of reputation to act as ;ll- perintendent, or President of the In titutiou.
