PROTESTED DRAFTS.

On Monday last, Mr.. Camhreleng stated
in the House that 100000 protested
drafts were now lying, and the suffering fell
not ON the Government, but on individuals
who were forced by delay into the hands Of
brokers and money shavers at rui~Oas sac
rlhres."
This admission is made by enc who has
been among the loudest in heaping denun
Citations on the banks. What commenta'
nv this upon The coneuct of those who are
warning against the banks! Did the de-
pasite banks ever refuse 10 pay the drafts
drawn on them? Never. But here is the
Government unable TO pay drafts drawn on
it, and cashed by some Of those very banks
thus condemned, to supply the means o.
carrying on the war against the Indians!
The amount Of drafts drawn and now ~
ing dishono-ed, was stated by Mr.. Wright
in The Senate, the other day to be much
greater. He represented the amount al
over two millions

and twelve miles north from Madisonvile,
on the elevation Of land, between Big Black
and Pearl Rivers, in a region as healthy ms
any in the state. This institution, including
female department. now in successful
operation was chartered by the Legislature,
IN their session Of the last year. The town
of Sharon, in which the college is located,
was incorporated at the same time, with
special reference to these Literary Institu-
tions, designed to be reared within its limits.
The bearing of the act Of Incorporation, on
the promotion Of good order and learning,
may be understood by the following extract
from the charter Of the town.
"Be it further enacted. That the President,
and CounciI shall have power to pass all
necessary bylaws for The goOd order, and

with the constitution, and laws of this state,
and United States, whereby education and
learning may be promoted, and the retailing,
or vending Of ardent spirits, Gambling and
every species Of vice and immortality, may
be suppressed, together with the total inhi
bition Of tho odious and savage practice of
wearing Dirks, Bowie Knives, or Pts
tolls"

advantages of the place, many friends Of
good order, learning and morality, are al
ready beginning 10 make it the place Of
their residence.
Five gentlemen from different states in
the Union,all of whom being now,or having
been professors in other institutions, are al
ready elected to the faculty. Four of them
are clergymen-one Methodist, one Baptist,
one Presbyterian, and one Cumberland
Presbyterian. The course of studies, in
this Institution, is to be equal to that of any
