the 27,h and 2Sth of April, think it but Just to cs-
press the high qualification which they feel on the
occasion. The young ladies, by the promptness
and accuracy OF their answers, ovinccd their own
capacity and diligence, and reflected the highest
credit upon those to whom their instruction was
conhdcd. 1t was plainly pcrccptiblc thai the In
StructorS had been ndusriouslv engaged in their
lahorons, tho useful and responsible avocation-
and that the pupils had made decided improvement
IN their various studies since the last examination
here all have done well, il would not be pro-
per to discriminate. We are assured that tho large
assembly, IN attendance on both DAYS, participated
IN the qualification which the various exercises af-
torded the undersigned. We hope the incrca-
sing interest, which pcrvadeS the public mind
on the very important, tho hitherto too much neg
lected subject of Female Education. will be the
means of bringing many Young ladies to this flour
lshine institution, and of rewardinp Mrs Smith

On Thursday the 2lst inst. an interesting sweepstake race was run over the Little Rock course--two mile heats---iour entries, $250 each. One paying tho forfeit three stallions run, viz: UscAs, by Randolph, owned by r. c. Hasekins q IF. D. Ferguson; ToM FLETCHER, by Stakeholder, owned by T. r.
 1uastaH, and SIR WILLIAM, by Sir Will jam, owned by John Lo,'i,lg. Race won by UNCAss, at two heats. Run in good time though the track was very wet and Inuady- and closely contested by both the other hor- ses. This was one of the most beautiful and interesting races over witnessed in the west ern country--all three horses, the first mile in each heat, passing tine stand nearly t. breast, and the rider of each horse exercising the greatest skill and judgment to ascertain the speed and bottom of tlie other horses.-- The owners of Uneas believing the object of the two other horses to be. to break down Uncas the first heat, or otherwise, if possible, to break the heats, the rider of Uncas was instructed to run behind on the first heat, till the last quarter, and then brush for the heat, ,ohich he did, aud scon the heaf. On the sec- ond neat, 1t wTS apparent hat he same gafnn would be played. Sir William put off under spur, determined to win the heat if possible. Tom Fletcher not to take the heatif Sir Will-
  The rider of Uncas, having the sa1ne irstruc- tions as on the first heat, to run behind tho foremost horse till the last quarter, lay back with Tom Fletcher for better than mile and a half, and was about twenty yards bchind-- made a brush at Sir William, ,and 1T. Fletch- er's rider discovered it was time to try for the heat, let go also and overlook Sir William at the head of the last stretch--Uncas taking the track, and winning the heat with ease by thirty feet,
 The owners of Tom Fletcher and Sir William contend that their horses were not in order; and something has been said uf both horses faInting on the morning of the race, when taken out to air, which was eyi- dently accustomed Or by breathing up their nostrils preparafion ef spirits--without any injury to the horses.
 After tho race, the owner of Tom Fletcli- CT, though beat by both, proposed to run 3d heat against the winning horse, for S500.-- The friends of Uncas were willing to take tho bet, but Uncas had been sent to the stable, (nearly half mile,) his plates were badly sprung, and he could not have been at the track and prepared to run in twenty minutes. They therefore declined letting him run, al- though it was evident he could have won with ease. The owners of Uncas, (ntius TOM proposed, and now propose, to meet the same horses, or any other horse, mare or gelding, now in the Territory, in sweep stake, next October, over the Little Rock course, three mile heats, for $500 or $ Sl0o0 entrance to the rules of the Club--- Three entries or moro to make race.

 TEXEAN VICTORY.

By the arrival of several gentlemen from the army, we have received authentic infior- nation that San Antonio is now in posses sion of tho Texeans, after five days hard fight ing, commencing on the 9th of December and ending on the 10th. The Texeans lost. three killed and several wounded. The .Hexicans sustained 3 lees ef at least l60 kill- ed and as many wounded The number of prisoners was about 1900. Ugartichea had entered the town with roo recruits, and all were taken. Texas has to lament the loss of the brave but unfortunate .Hilam. He fell like a brave man, with arms in hand, and in the foremost battle. His life has been con- tinual struggle against oppression, but ever unfortunate, his Roman courage and moro than Roman virtue remained unshaken. Where is the man, where is the friend of vir- tue and liberty, and where is the Texean, who would not, if possible. erect monument to the very heavens in honor of this martyr of liberty!

 Important Decisioa.--Two individuals in- dicted for perjury, in proving up Donation Claims, have been discharged at the present term of our Superior Court, on the ground that as the law requires their dispositions to be ta- ken "before the Register and Receiver"--- and as they were in fact sworn to before a Justice of the Peace--in presence of the Re- ceiver alone, (the Register having that day died1-that therefore the Justice ofthe Peace had not authority to administer the oath, and if the person swore falsely under such cir cumstances, he cannot be punished for perju- ". That is, an oath taken falsely before q Justice of the Peace, and the Receiver tor Register) alone, is not punishable. Both the Receiver and Register should be present to make it perjury. The Court did not express ly decide whether either the Register or Re- ceiver alone could administer an oath and take epositions-inclining however to the opinion that he could not. Such may be the law-wc have not examined, and cannot say. If it be, 'tis pity.
 0I- We understand that euevy cloins pro- yen up at Helena, comes within the scope of this decision. The Grand Jury have accord ingly closed their investigation, without hav- ing found single bill, and all the prisoners indicted for perjury have been discharged.
