1t will be seen BY the following extract
Of an article from the Charleston Patriot
that South Carolina has lost one of her
noblest sons in the person Of ROBERT Y.
HAyNE:
DEATH OF GEN. HAyNE The ink is
scarcely dry with which we recorded the
death of one eminent citizen, before we
are called upon to reg lister the demise of
another. 1t is with feelings of inexpressi-
BILE pain we have 10 state that Gen. Rob-
ert Y. Hayne-7one whom both the State
Of South Carolina and the city of Charles
ton delighted to honor, and cherished with
warmth Of affection. that never knew
abatement, died at Ashvlle, N. C. on
Tuesday, 24th ult., after a few days of i'll
ness of bilious fever General Hayne was
in his 49th year. Thus has perished, in
the rpeness Of his faculties, and the matu-
rity of his usefulness, citizen, who was
identified, through long and prosperous
public career, with almost every scheme
for the advancement Of the commercial
prosperity of our city, and the political ell
ovation of our State. In the various Off
ces which he filled successively of member
of the House of Represa antatives, and At
torney General of the State, Senator in
Congress, Governor of the State, and
Mayor of the city, he gathered increasing
respect from The people, and has, in de.
sccnding to the tomb, left the rich legacy
of his virtues to ennobe name already IL
lustrious in the annals of South Carolia."

MISSISSIPPI FEMALE COLLEGE

A T the last session of this Institution, the
IN following resolutions were adopted by the
Board of Trustees, which will continue in force
the ensuing session:
RESOLVED, That the board of each young lady
be 800 per session of twenty weeks, to be
pa ID cne half in advance.
This gum Is intended to include room, bed
dino, fle,, washing, and all other contingent
and extra charTes connected with the boarding
department.
ResoIrcd That the prices Of Tuition be as
follows: 90
Preparatory Department, possession, SIG OO
Advanced Department, ~ w
This Department embraces al the studies
usually taught in the higher schools.
ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT.
Music, including the use ofthe Piano, $40 OC
Needle Work, ID w
Drawing and Painting, - 90
Painting in Oil, % OO
Transferring, }
Shell work, l gu
Wax work,
It will be perceived from the foregoing reso-
lutions, that the rates of boarding and tuition
have been changed from the former prices
This course the Trustees have been obliged to
adopt. They have employed competent and
efficient instructesses, who must be literally
compensated, and the resources of the institu-
ton are the only fund from which that COM
pensation should be drawn. Hitherto this fund
has proved insufficient.
The rates which are now established, both
for board and tuition, are such as are adopted
in other and neighboring schools, and are sucr
as the necessities ofthe College demand.
RESOLVED, That no young lady be admitted
as a student in the College till the aOhole tut.
ton, and half the boarding fees be paid al tht
time she Joins the College.
