STAUNTON ACADEMY.

The next session of this institution will
commence on the 18th Of October, and term-
nate on the LIST of July next ensuing.
The trustees take great pleasure in an
nonncing to the public that they have made
arrangements which they hope will enable
this institution to enter into successful COM
| petition with any similar school in the State
The mathematical department will be I'm
der the control of Mr.. LyTTLEToN WADDELL,
whose ability as teacher and high charac-
ter as gentleman are we'll known to the
public.
The classical department will be under the
charge Of Mr.. HENRY JOHNSON, an English
gentleman, who has recently been appointed
to that professorship.
Mr.. johnson Is stranger i'm our county.
but he brings with him from England and
| from the different parts of the Union in
winch he has resided, the highest testimonials
OF his character and capacity as a teacher
lie was originally educated for the bar, and
practlsed law for some time in Bristol Eng
land, but subsequently relinquished his pro-
fession and after travelling over a consdera-
BILE portion of Europe, removed to the United
States, and has been engaged in teaching for
the last seven years.
The trustees contemplate the expenditure
OF nearly 81 900, at an early day, in repairing
and refurnishing the Academy, and they will
worthy OF the purpose to which it is to be
dedicated.
New regulations have also been adopted
for the government Of the school, which will
ensure constant supervision of the trustees,
and tend to establish mild yet decided sys-
tenn of discipline among the scholars, ap-
pealing rather to the pride and sense of pro-
prety OF the pupils than to their fear of cor
poral punishment.
All the various branches usually taught in
Academies will be subjects of instruction in
this institution, and particular attention will
be given to the French language, which Mr..
johnson speaks and writes with great fluency
and ease.
The trustees feel great confidence in re-
commenting this institution to the public, and
they pledge themselves to use all proper ex-
ertions to render it worthy Of the patronage
and support of an enlightened community
1t will be peculiarly adapted for the purposes
OF preparatory school for the University
and Washington College, and the sessions
will be made to conform to the sessions of
those Institutions.
The geographical location of Stanton
gives ii peculiar advantages for an Academy.
1t is situated in a healthy and populous re-
glon OF country near the centre Of the State,
and readily accessible by various lines of sta
ges from all quarters. These circumstances.
together with the cheapness of boarding.
would seem TO recommend it in an especia!
manner TO gentlemen in Eastern Virginia
who wish TO send their SONS from home.
The terms Of tuition are for the Languages
and Mathematics at the rate of $50 for the
session of ton months, and for other branches
$50 per session.

THE BEAUTY OF LIBERTY.
GIn MI things that have beauty, there Is nothing 10
nan ifore comely thun Liberty" ,.
When the dance of the shadows
At day break is done,
And the cheeks of the morning
Are red with the Sun;
When he sinks in his glory
At eve from ile view,
And calls up the planets
To blaze in the blue
There is beauty But where is the beauty to see
More proud than the sight of a nation when irec!
When the beautiful bend
Orthe bow is above,
Like circle of light
On the bosom oflove;
When the moon in her mildness
Is floating on high,
Like banner ofsilver
Hung out in the sky
There is beauty But earth has not beauty TO see
More proud than the front Of nation when tree!
In the depth ofthe darkness
tnvared in hue,
When shadows are yelling
The breast Of the blue;
When the voice of the tempest
At midnight is still,
And the spirit ofsulitue
Sleeps on the hill
There is beauty. But where is the beauty to see
Like the broad beamng brow Of n nation when free!
III the breath of the morning.
When nature awakes,
And calls up the chorus
To chant in the brakes
In the voice OF the echo
Unbound in the woods,
In the warblins of streams
And the fUaming of floods
There il beauty But where is the beauty to see
Like the thrice hallowed sight of nation when iree
When the striving Of surgcs
Is mad on the main,
like the charge of column
Ofplumes on the plain;
When the thunder is up
From its cloud Graded sleep,
And the tempest is treading
The paths oftle deep
There is beauty. But where is the beauty to sec
Like the sun brilliant brow ofa nation when free?
