Episcopal Sch00L-Rey Adam Empie, D. d.
President of William and Mary College, has ac-
cepted the situation recently conferred on him of
Rector Of the Episcopal School, in this vicinity,
rice Mr.. Cogswell, resigned. lie is expected TO

mencement ofthe Summer session.
Wake Forest InStitute.--We understand that
this Institution, situated about 70 miles from this
City, and conducted on the Manual Labor princi.
pie, under the charge Of the Baptist Church, is in
most hourishlng condition. The number of Stu.
dents is now 100, and several have been refused
for want of accommodation. A very large add.
lonal building, however, is going Up, which, when
completed, viii afford room for as many as will
probably apply for admisson.-Ral Register.
An Express Mail--We have good authority for
stating that the Postmaster General has it in con-
temptation to establish daily Express Mail be-
tlcccn Neu Orleans and Portland Maine, to be
carried on horseback, except when steamboats, can
be had, and to run at the rate of twelve miles an
hour. This mail Will carry slips from newspa.
per offices, containing foreign and domestic news,
prices currents, and important letters. On every
thing carried by this mail, extra postage will be
/ charged.
The proposition will soon be submitted to Con.
gress, and II they approve Of It, of which there eau
be no doubt, it will be carried into effect. Should
thi. great improvement in our mail department be
effected, we hope that every piece of paper, wheh-
e- printed or manuscript which is transmitted by
the express mail, will be charged according to the
weight.
Charleston and Ohio Rail Road-We understand
SAYS the Charleston Courier of the eth instant,
that Lieu,s. Drayton, White, and Reed, three of
the Engineers 10 be employed in the survey of this
road, have arrived in this city, Capt. Williams
and Mr. teathe-stonaugh are daily expected, and
on their arrival arrangements will be made with
General Hayne, the Chairman of the Commission
crs, who has returned to the city, for entering
upon the survey Immediately, beginning at the
mountains.
The prospect ohead-From one end of the State
10 the other, the friends OF tue Constitution are act.
ing with an energy and concert which will give
certain triumph 10 their e1ertlons. This is also
the case throughout the Union. In the language
of Mr.. Mangum, " the watch fires are kindLing on
every hill, from the Potomac to the Balize. The
White banner is unturled; countless crowds are
throngine TO that standard. The Albany banner
vet waves its motley folds over the disciplined
and the faithful" But even discipline begins to
quail before superior numbers tai. Register
The Globe of Tuesday says" Shall traitors or
spies be hartored in our ranks ~" We uiH ferret
them out, and expose them" Have care, Mr..
Globe, what you are about. Do moi commence the
work of erpungiag your party. If you do this
if you really do drive away all the traitors ard
spies in your party you will divide it sadly-you
wlllhave little eit-few to sing hosannas TO Martin
the first Washington Sun.
