EEfILLfe open their FEMALE CLAS.
w SICK ACADEMY, on tho LIST Mon-
day in September. They have effected a
communication of houses with Miss Henry,
whose residence is strlklngly eligible Tor
centrally, spaciousness, aud comniodious
interior and exterior arrangements. In
consequence of which, they will receive
into their family IL young ladies (in no
case more,) az pupils; and furnish them
with Board, Washing and Taition IN any
or all Of the branches set forth in their
card, for $50 per snnum, payable quar-
tery in advance. Efficiency of instruc-
tion depeads, primarily, on the quallfiea-
tons Ia comprehensive term OF the Teach
er, and secondariiJ, on the number OF
scholars to be taught. In regard TO the
first circumstance, we can declare, (and
surely without counteryasling any rule oil
decerum or dictate of delicacy.) that where
ever located, we gave entire satisfaction
10 the intelligent and refined; and enjoyed,
as its natural consequence, growing pat
ronage, the earnestness and stability OF
which were plainly eyinced by the regret
always pictured forth on our removal. And
as to the number of scholars, (notwith-
standing the sordid suggestions Of cupidisy
prompting Teacher to tbrong his school
with number that battles the most watch
ful diligence and laboursd efforts to do
jusdcs.) we obligate ourselves never to
allow the number of pupils 10 exceed 10
to Teacher. This numerical restriction,
and the recollection Of uniform success
elsewhere, embolden Ms to believe, that
fruits the most delightful to ourselves. and
gratifying to eur patrons, must spring out
of conscientious jealous application oil
system, which is designed to embrace
every thing that tends to expand the mind,
grace the manners, refine the sentiments
and give gospel purity to princ:ples,

1t is mentioned to us that Manson,
his son, and Stafford his son-in-law,
now in prison for the late attempt to
assassinate Mr.. Hart, were some time
ago brought before Judge Baldwin, on
a charge of having INSTRUCTED the U.
S. Mail. The charge was preferred
by Mr.. Hart, who is mail contractor,
but the evidence was not sufficient to
convict the defendants. In the Mar

that they would be revenged on Hart.

The important debate on the repeal
OF the House and Window Tax, and
on the result of which depended the
continuance in office of the present
British Ministry, came on in the House
OF Commons on the Goth April. The
Ministers obtained large majority
and IN consequence retain their seats,
The effect of this vote is to rescind
that given ON a previous day in favor
of the repeal of an obnoxious tax. Its
repeal, therefore, was again moved on
following day and on this occasion
Ministers were once more strongly sun.
ported in their opposition to it, and
were victorious.
There is no immediate probability ~

appealing to them at a new election.

defeated, with great loss, and YOUR men

Aklnson, whom you know, have in.
formed me that Sheckak, your princi.

Dear Slr--As the President gets me
to read all the newspapers to him, be-
ing considerable slick at that business.
| most always take up the New York
Gazette first, and and he have both
come to the conclusion, seeing you
have printed all my letters, to write
you line respecting our eastern tow
or. Both Of us have been as busy as
bees packing up for Downingvllle for
week back. The President walked
me up this morning before daylight,
and asked me what | thought OF the
weather. Says |, General, It's a going
to ram. Says he, what do YOU think
Had we better start! Yes saws |: we
dldent mind the weather in New Or.

you amt afraid, | aint-so before we
eat our breakfast, you sit down and
write line to old Mr.. Lang, and tell
inm he may expect to see us this day
week, and ask him to engage us rooms
at the largest house in New York. |
wante to go to the City Hotel, but
the President thinks Hollis house the
best. However, says he, we wont
quarrel about it-let Mr.. Lang decide
the question. If you engage Hollis tell
INN to get his backing machine in Or

terrible rumpus about his boots.
The President asked me the other

Your friend, JACK DOWNING.
70 JOHN LANG, Esq. New York.
TIE LATE SENATOR JOHNSTON
From the ". Orleans Argus of May 81.
The citizens of New Orleans on Sat.
urday last received a shock to their
feelings, of which it is hoped they may
be long spared the repetition. We
give, in another column, the particu-
lars of the loss Of the Lioness steam.
boat on Red River. 1t will be seen
what a frightful loss of valuable, lives
this unfortunate accident has occasion.
ed. The death of Josiah s. Johnston,
particularly, has caused great sensa-
ton. 1t is not surprising. His loss is
a loss to the State of Louisiana, which
she wall not easily repair. 1t will be
difficult for her to replace in the Sen.
ate of the United States his talent, and
still more difficult to replace the infiu.
ence acquired there by him-the re-
suit OF sound talent, amiable manners,
and great honesty of purpose.
MI. Johnston was a native Of Con-
nectlcut, but was taken in early infan-
cy by his father to Kentucky. He re-
.celved his education in the latter State.
and emlgrated to Louisiana at the close
OF the year 1904, or the commence
ment of 1905. His whole life since,
with few short intervals, has been
spent in the public service. He serv-
ed in the first Territorial Legislature
which was convened in New Orleans,
and he continued leading and effici-
ent member of that body until Louisi.
ana was admitted into the Union. I'M
medlatel y after the organization of the
State Government he accepted an i'm.
portant office in the judiciary, and fill
ed 1t with credit and usefulness, until
he was elected to the House of Repre-.
sentatives Of the United States. He
continued to serve as member of
that body for two Congresses, and af.
ter a short interval was selected by
the Legislature for the office of Sena-
tor IN Congress, and there he has since
remained; a period if the writer mis-
takes not, of eleven years.
We have not the time to enumerate
important measures connected with the
prosperity Of this State, of which he
was either the promoter, or the ardent
and efficient supporter. 1t is less ne.
cessary; for his public services are
known to all. Those who only knew
him as public man will regret his
loss. Those who knew him Intimately
will mourn it. 1t will be long again
before they can meet with the same
warm heart and cool head-the same
absence OF, and contempt for, profes.
sion and pretence; and the same ready
performance of all the duties which
friendship imposed.

Another Muder.-The New. Bruins.
wick Times states that a young man
by the name of Kelsey was killed by
one OF his acquaintance on the even.
ing of the I'd inst. in the vicinity Of
that place. Several who lived in the
country had been to New Brunswick
on that day, and were seen at one Of
the dram shops in that place. Two of
them separated from the others, on
their way home, and went to q certain
house to see if Kelsey was there, sup.
posing he was, from the Circumstance
OF his being in the practice of visiting
young female who resided there
After violently knocking at the door
and calling for Kelsey, he came out,
and on approaching, one ofthem struck
him on the side of the head with a club;
he died the next morning from the ef.
tects of the blow. Both the Young
men have been arrested and commit.
ted TO prison.

as would destroy your whole tribe
Let the red men hunt and take care of
their families, but | hope they will not
again raise their hands against their
white brethren. We do not wish to
injdre you. We desire your prosperi-
ty and improvement. But if you again
plunge your knives into the breasts of
our people, | shall send force, which
will severely punish you for all your
cruelties.
When you go back, listen to the
Councils OF Ke-o-kuk and the other
friendly Chiefs. Bury the tonahawk,
and live in peace with the frontiers
And | pray the Great Spirit to give
you a smooth path and fair sky to re-
turn.
To this the Prophet and the others
answered,
My FATHER--My ears are open to
your words. | am glad to hear them.
am glad to go back to my people. /
want to see my family. | did not be.
have well last Summer. | ought not
to have taken up the tomahawk. But
my people have suffered a great deal.
When get back, | will remember
your words. | won't go to war again.
| will live in peace. | shall hold you
by the hand.
The Indians are to set OUT this morn
ing for Philadelphia, in the Rail Road
line Steamboat.
In mentioning the departure of the
President on Saturday, in the Peoples
line OF Steamboats,, the Gazette says
ga little incident occurred at the
time of the departure of the boats,
which shows that even during the pre-
sent animated opposition between the
two lines, all other feelings were made
to yield to the desire of showing re-
spect to the Chief Magistrate Of the
nation. The position OF the boats, as
laying at the wharf, IS such that the
Charles Carroll, belonging to the Uni
on Line, has the advantage IN starting;
but Captain Chaytor, her commander,
with the urbanity and prompt sense of
Iproprlety which characterize him, on
this occasion waived his privilege, and
permitted the Kentucky to take the
precedence. The act, and the man.
ner in which it was performed, excited
warm feelings of appreciation among
the crowd Of spectators who were as
sembled on the wharf to witness the
departure Of the President.
