on with wholesome business, have either forfeited
their character, shut up shop, refused redeem

THE MISSISSIPPI FEMALE
COLLEGE

We are afraid that in consequence of
the pressure of the times, the citizens of
our state are not sufficiently patronising
this valuable Seminary of learning. The
fall session commenced in September
and every provision has been made in the
Institution, to afford thourough and an
accomplished education to the females of
our country who may choose to go. Will
not Parents and Guardians, then.- en-
brace this opportunity to educate their
Daughters and Wards at home-where
may be exercised over them that maternal
government. which is so apt to-beneglected
abroad l--instead of sending them among
strangers, whose first and too often, only
concern is the money, they receive for
Tuition and Board.
For our part, we could never reconcile
this practice,hut too prevalent in our coun-
try, TO our feelings; any more than to that
obligation which exists from parent TO
chld-and especially to the tender conf
ding, and unsuspecting female. And it
strikes US that if parents could only take
a proper view of the matter for an instant,
they would at once abandon a practic,
fraught with so many dangerous results.
Again, on the score of economy, it is
better to patronise our institutions at home
10 say nothing of state pride, and the ad.
vantages otherwise to be obtained. When
we have more time, we will treat on this
subject at greater lenghl.

To THE DEMOCRACY.

| would submit in ak candour, a few
points for the consideration of the honest,
(honestin politics) ofthe democrats of our
state, and of the country generally:
You are asked, and urged by your par
ty, to supportthe sub treasury scheme, in
opposition to a national Bank, it being
contended by most Of them to be some.
thing that viii answer all the purposes of
a National Bank; and yet be Invested, first
Of the name, and next, of course, Of the
many objections that you have to sue h
an institution.
Now, the object desired to be accom-
pllshed, being, regulation of the curren.
'cy o. the furnishing sound circulating
medium for all classes Of the community.
! would ask, what does the sub treasury
scheme offer, TO answer that purpose;-
or viii II change or alter, in any degree,
our present most miserable swindlinp shin
plaster system. The sub treasury is alone
and exclusively scheme for the safe
keeping and disbursement Of the Public
Revenues; and has no more to do with the
currency Of Mississippi, than would the
determination Of the citizens Of any one
state 'e neither sell nor buy anything
but for specie.

manner, the currency Of the state;but vii

COMMON SENSE.
MARYLAND ELECTION

The Baltimore Patriot of the instant,
gives the following statement of the result
ofthe Election recently held in the state of
Maryland, for Members of Congress, and
of the House of delegates, SO far as has
been ascertained, by which it will be per-
ceived that wings and 3.democrats are
returned for the former. and 10 wings and
43 democrats for the latter.
The Patriot aays:
The accounts from the Congressional
election in this State are still imperfect,
but we have returns which render it Ger.
tain that the following is the result in six
districts.

ing parts, or of transporting them from
beyond the seas, in order 10 succeed vita
their ticket.
And the latter Of these two, strikes us
as being the most probable and will in a
great measure account for the vast intro
duction of Foreign Pdupers into our coun.
try a thing that has almost become
alarming on other accounts. Yes, this is
our candid opinion, g. one that we express
fearlessly and boldly, that MARTIN Van
buren, is cognizant of the secret introduc-
ton oil. foreign Uagabonds into this coun-
try, for the purpose Of out numbering, in
the elective franchise, the free born sons of
America, whose patriotic sires fought,
bed, and died, for that liberty which we
once enjoyed, but which, now alas, seems
about to depart from our skies. But to
the communication:
BALTIMORE CITY ELECTION.
To the Editor Of the Baltimore Patriot.
Sir present you with a statement of
the votes of the elections for the House of
Delegates of '35 and Gas also an es-
innate Of the population of Baltimore for
the same years. 1t will present an lllustra-
ton Of the beauties of Loco Focosm, that
cannot but be attractive to its worshppers.
The average Wing vote in the election OF
1888 was 6,I99
The averag@ Van Burenv tie at the
same,ime was 6.Os2
Giving to the Wings majority of 167
The average Wing vote inthe cleo
lion of the present year is 6,I74
The average Van Buren, vote at the
same time is 6.6ol
Giving to the Van Buren, party
a majority of 427
The average number of votes for
1888. was 1928
The averge number for 1889 is 1916;
Making an additional number of
votes of sd
The population of B limo e at tie eiec
ton of 80 was, adopting IS the basis 0
calculation, the progressive decrease Of Tia,
various censuses for 40 years, 00636
The population of iialumore at Ire iim
of the election of 1899, was l02.6IO.
Now, sir, in one year the population O
Baltimore is made 10 swell SO rapidly tina
it has yielded 544 votes-to produce which
requires an additional population of 1896
persons, all of whom must have settleC
here in one year, and must have beer
furnished with all the qualifications the law
requires, before their quota could be quail
fed to vote. And it is a singular feature
too, in the history of this emigration, that
every one of these representatives rotcd the
Van Buren, Ticket You will observe
in the statement, have made, that tht
Wing vote of 80 and 80, differs only III
25 votes, shelving a sieadiress and firm
ness in principle, unequaed in the history
of parties That vote discloses this E.cl
that there has been no increasc OF popuia
ton beyond that oil the natural oac. sine

resting upon such an increase as justifica

SPECIE.

Seven hundred thousand dollars in
Specie was taken over to England by the
British Queen, during her last trip. What
commentary on tie gold and silver hum
bug! We thought the yellow boys were
to flow up the Mississippi, and not across
the Atlantic. Verify, these sage prophets
have failed in every thing. Who can be-
leye them hereafteri A few more such
drags, and we shall be rid of all; and as
shin-p lasters are rapidly disappearing, have
nothing left for circulating medium but
loco foco promises, which are little worse
than nothing.

GOVERNMENT DRILL OFFIcERs!-The
government appears to have organised a
new establishment, somewhat similar to
the War Department, by sending through
the country Political Drill oGicers, to in.
struct tie people in its peculiar mode of
warfare. And Columbus, we understand,
can boast Of several at this time-who are
busily engaged-in teaching tie science.
AS the government pays all expenses,
no charge of course is made ofthe people,
except, that they first pay it to the govern.
in the shape faxes and revenues.
Now this appears very clever to men Dup
tree" who generally suppose they are
much further from the ground than they
really are, and that sboul they start to
fall they viii catch by the ways soma
have attempted to do and missed it.
But we are greatly inclined to think
that much larger class might be obtain
ed ifthe price of tuition was not so CHEAP,
(for Mississippians are generally a0illissg to
pay, although they have not always done
so, for whatever they get,) in view Of
which, we would advise those taclilioners
to make at least some charge FOR the ser.
vice they. render. This would also he
more in accordance with The spirit ofths
age,--which is, to render service to nc
man for nothing, and to get pay if yot
can.
Should our advice be adopted, we maj
take q few lessons ourseH.

It viii be perceived by our columns to-
day, that the elections 10 Georgia and
Maryland have gone against the Wings.
This however, is. moi to be wondered at,
when we consider the foul means used by
the Tories to carry their point. Corrup-
ton, bribery and false swearing are the or
der of the day with Them. and for the sake
ofone vote, we believe they would outrage
high heaven ITSELF This result in Mary
land and Georgia, however, can have no
influence over the election soon to come
on in this state, as it is well known that it
was vagatonds that carried the former,
and GOLD that done the latter. Not that
we doubt, in the least, that the like will
not DC attempted here, but that we know
the people are too true either to be bought
up, or imposed upon. And that it will
but move the wings to renewed diligence,
and make them more watchful over the
movements Of their enemies; indeed. II vii

doubt recollect the beautiful allasion he
made 10 the extract below, which we clip
From the Political Reformer.
ANEcDorF OF WASHINGTON. The
surprise and capture ofthe fIessiaa troops
at Trenton, is well remembered event 10
our revolutionary history. Il occurred
at the darkest period &C the revolutionary
struggle, and it was in the hour when Tue
hopes of the most sangniae had almost
failed, that God so sigGaiiy interposed TO
save our land. On that evenifnl morning
Col. BiddIc, of Philadelphia, role by the
side of Washingtoa. and il is iiron his of
repeated relation Of the circumstances of
that contest that we had derived keow-
edge of TIE following interesting fact
The American troops crossedsthe De a
ware about nine miles above Trenton, and
marched in two divisions upon the town.
This unexpected appro tch and vigorous
attack of foes, supposed to be dispirted
and defeated, was complet ly successful,
and although the floating ice in the river
had delayed the crossing, lit was 8 O'Clock
when Washington entered the village
the victory was gained with ease altogeth-
er unexpected. In few moments all the
outguards were driven in, and the Amer
lcan force having surrounded the town
resistance became fraitless, and the ene-
my surrendered. When this event was
communicated to Washington, he was
pressing forward, and animating his troops
by his voice and example. He instantly
checked his horse, aud throwing the reins
upon his neck, the venerable man raised
his eyes to heaven and thus silently and
emphatcally acknowledged from whence
the victory come, a-d what aid he had
implored to guard his beloved country in
the perilous conflict. 1t was not untilth
lapse of about minute, that he paused
from his devout thankfulness, and ordered
the troops to stand to their arms.
