The CorroN CROP. Accounts have gained cur
rency through several mercantile journals in diff
ferent parts Of the U. S., setting forth that the
present Cotton crop will be as large or larger
than the crop of last year.
We deem it of vast consequence that the pub
lie mind should be correctly informed upon a
subject of such paramount Importance to every
one in this community. Add for ths purpose the
subscribers have met together exchanged their
views and opinions, and have come TO the follow

out this State will fall short OF last year fully one
third, and as far as we are informed, the defcen-

states n Carolina and Georgia,

crop is already all gathered from the fields and
in no part of it is there as muchto pick out
as there was at the same period last year,

YgNHE public are respectfully informed that
IL the Academy recently established by the
Rev. J. SMITH, at the corner OF Royal ana
Duke Streets Alexandria, is now permanently
in operation, and ready for the reception OF stu
dents.
The course of education pursued in this AGA
demv comprises all the various branches that
constitute sound English and Classical Educa-
ton 1t embraces the Latin, Greek, French and
English Languages; Logic; Natural and Moral
Philosophy; Mathematics; History, Ancient ana
Modern; Geography; the use OF the Globes Elo-
cution; English Grammar, Reading, Writing,
&c. &C.
THE Classical Department of this Institution
will be conducted by Mr.. H. c. Mclaughlin,
gentleman of high classical attalnments, ana OF
long experience in the education OF youth, nav
ing been employed for considerable tune as
a Professor in one of the most distinguished Uni
versities in this country.
The object ofthe gentlemen concerned IN this
Institution is to impart to those who may be en-
trusted to their charge solid and thorough
knowledge of the Classics, adopting as their
mode the e ratio StWdtOrWn1" which has so de-
servedly attracted the attention and secured the
appreciation Of the Literatt of Europe and Anne
RIGA; system which, if properly attended to,
can alone store the mind with useful and soma
knowledge, and form the elegant and profound
classic scholar. 1t need hardly be remarked
here, that this system entfely eHpodeS tiie pr az
tice which has of late been introduced into ma
nv of our most respectable schools, of putting
into the hands of youth books composed of SEN
fences and phrases selected from the different
authors, and substituting such e:1cerpta for the
original-a mode which may, indeed, lead 10
rapid and superficial acquaintance, but can ne
yer convey the beauty style, or spirit ofthe Ro-
man and Athenian writer's. This remark IS
suggested merely from a conviction ofthe supe-
riority of this system over every other at pre-
sent known, without any reference or allusion
whatever
In the English Department, the most concise
and exact method will be pursued, and compe-
tent teachers provided.
Music will be taught without any extra charge;
Hours of attendance from 9 to II A. NJ. and
from to S P NJ; during which time the strict
est attention will be paid to the morals OF the
students.
