TILE cENTENARr COLLEGE,.


A proposition has been made if a llbe-
raj subscription is gotten up, to locate this
institution at.this place. A subscription
paper is now circulating, and by what
has been done we know that S25, 900 can
be subscribed in Canton and its immedi-
ate vicinity provided the location is cho-
sen as above. lfthere was nothing sub
scribed by our citizens, Canton should
be chosen as decidedly the best location
in the State, Better health than is en-
loyed here and in the neighborhood could
not be required; no persons ever enter
tain apprehensions of sickness here
During the past summer and now when
other places are rife with the groans of
those in the agonies of death and fevered
bodies are tossed upon beds of pain and
anguish, our citizens are undisturbed by
any such curses. Canton is near the
centre of the weaIthiest and most popu-
lous inland county in the State, and If
any thing in point of productions, the
character Of her citizens, and the salu-
brious climate, pure atmosphere and
clear skies which bless her, can give her
any claim to having within her borders
an institution such as we speak of, she

any where. Clinton and Brandon Springs
have been spoken of, and in our opinion
more unsuitable or worse chosen places
could not be thought of any where in the
interior. The swampy and unhealthy
Localities of both these places render them
sufficiently Objectionable without the
mention of other disadvantages under
which they may labor. But the charac-
teristic energy of her citizens, the high
and improving state of her cultivation,
her blooming cotton waving in the
breeze, her rustIing cornfelds drunk and
Keeling beneath their harvest, her public
spirit, her central position, all, combine
to make Madison county the choice ofdis-
eliminating and impartial Judges, and
Canton is the most eligible point in the
county.
The location of the College however
seould rot be influenced by the amount
subscribed at any particular place, the
institution will always be amply sup
ported, and healthy central position
would tend more than any thing else, tc
endow it soon and literally. 1t will b
the nucleus to which the youth of tn,
State will resort and cling, to enricl
their young minds and fit them to FL
their stations iu life with honor and ere
dit. All we can say to the commission
GRO who may be appointed to select tb,
site, is, before you decide, come and Sc,
t our place, and our people, and if you d.
3 not say VIC furnish the best locality il
} the State, we will only be little disar
: pointed, and will be pleased to see it SIT
j, uated and well endowed elsewhere. bu
], really Madison county and Canton partic
r ularly, conscious Of her superior advar
i tages, courts the honor of the choice c
# location for the Centenary College.

IMPEACH HIM.

Those who contend that the Union
Bank charter or the supplement thereto,
is unconstitutional, must be of opinion
that Gov. McNutt has violated his oath
to see that the laws be faithfully execu-
ted; for the strongest ground assumed
by those who argue that the Bank was
unconstitutional in its inception, is, that
the law creating 1t was not published, as
was required by the concluding or 47th
section of the charter. Why do not these
particular friends and followers of Gov
McNutt cause him TO be impeached for
this great dereliction? 1t was the Go.
vernor's duty to see that this law be pub
lished ; to perform this duty he default.

for the fever which has ragged for some
time with unusal malignity,to operate on.
1t appears to have taken its subjects

DIR. Gwin has tried to Purchase his
election to Congress by great demoEstra-
tons OF liberality in the way Of educa-
ton. What a deal of money this i'm
ported Elk Marshal, this prOtege Of Gen.
Jackson's, must have made out Of the
people of Mississippi, when he can give
property valued at $4,000 to a Col
lege. We understand he has proposed
to donate the Brandon Springs, to the
Centenary College, provided the College
is established there. fit is true as il is
said to be, that the principal and several
small fry locofoco editors in the Stale,
WELD their pens by his direction and su p
port, DIR. 6. must be very wealthy man
indeed, (all made from the misfortunes OF
the people and the partiality of Gen.
Jackson,) and he must be extremely
anxious TO be member of Congress-
The people are not to be diverted by his
great show of munifcence, without scru.
tinizing his official conduct a little; all
must conclude that the Office of Marshal
has been very profitable, surely.
The people wish to be represented in
the National Councils by men of charac
ter and talents differing widely from his
and those of the men by whom they
were lately represented

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.

We gave no opinions, in advance, prophetic of
the result Of the late elections in Massachusetts,.
Nor did we entertain any such opinions as some
OF our contemporaries lugubrouslv mn forth 900
corning it, We bore in mind that the Wings
of this State were not all Of the "heai-hins or
die" school; and that they might be persuaded
to believe, that they might support their guber
material candidate, without doing any very great
violence TO those principles, embraced by por-
ton of the party, which they had never very
fully approved. viz: the principles Of Staying
at home" to spite the President, and show
proper resentment to the Teto! We might in
fer, therefore, that aoiser counsels guided the
Wings Of Massachusetts, than those that have
prevailed in the late elections in some other
States. And the following is the result:
MASSACHUSETTS hundred and eighty nine
townships give Davis So Cos votes; Morton, Opp
40 Alb; scattering, IL. Davis plurality Nor
ton in the above townships 1885, majority over
Morton and scattering, 80 Nine townships to be
heard from Davis majority will be quite small as it
believed the scattering votes not returned from
all the townships. A majority is necessary TO a
choice.
Senaie-Five Wing Senators have been elected in
Suffolk county; five in Essex; five in Worcester !;
TWO IN Hamfsnlre Two IN rankiini Two IN Darn
stable one in Dukes and Nantucket; and one in
Norfolk. Total % Six Opposition Senators have
been elected in Middlesex three in Bristol, two in
Hampden, and two in Berkshire Total l3. There
are two vacancies in Norfolk and two in Plymouth
which will be filled by the Senaie-with Wings Of
course. The Senate, when full, will therefore, in
all probability, stand,-27 Wings and Is OPPOSE
ton.
House.-The Boston Atlas says, that faI as heard
from, 100 Wing Representatives have been elected !;
"a the Opposition and of 81 candidates there has
been "no choice"

NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY.

The Court of Inquiry into the conduct Of Captain
BoLToN closed its investigation Saturday last.
When the evidence concluded, Capt. b. (accord-
ing to the report in the New York Herald) rose and
said:
GENTLEMEN In explaining my conduct in leaving
the Mediterranean with the nited States ship Bran
DIVINE, and returning to this coast in last May, |
have very little to say detailed statement has al
ready been placed before you The facts all in
your possession and therefore confidently leave the
matter with you may simply say that, in returning
was actuated by a belief that war between this
country and Great Britain inevitable. That opin-
ion distinctly expressed before the Council Of War,
and acted on ii when found myself on the ocean.
My only aim was TO get the earliest information upon
this point and wished TO be the first turn il to the
honor of our Navy, and its advantage. In my opinion
this could not have been well accomplished by
my appearance on our coast The English papers
stated the sailing of ships Of our coast and il
was only there that could render myself useful. I'M
der this impression acted my motives well my
acts are before you. If have erred, it has been in
judgment alone. This is my conviction, and sub
nit the facts to the consideration Of the Honorable
the Secretary Of the Navy. As much stress has
been laid upon the contents of the letter of Mr..
Sprague, ask that il may be borne in mind that the
relations between the two countries continuing I'M
settled, did not warrant his conclusions Justify
in submitting to his judgment instead of the Amer
lean Minister-as consider that commercial channels
of news are not always to be relied lcoDfdently
expected that my would have been approved,
il not applauded. Had l doubted this, would have
gone back without reporting by my presence on the
coast absence from assigned station.
In coming into the harbor of New York was only
acuated by desire TO render the ship, il possible,
more efficient, by introducing approved gunnery
improvements, which did | retired from the ship on
of i'll health, and only when felt quite
that would not occur. All did was done
in good faith towards my country and my command
ing officer; and argue that the subsequent more par
ticuar orders to Commander VOORHEES, resulted from
the idea that he would under existing circumstances
on leaving Mahon, proceed also TO this coast The
American flags exhibited at the Rock OF Gibraltar
might have been hosted deceive me, and they were
not seen when opened the Rock. On making the
coast IN fog the report Of gun induced all the Of
icers of the Brandywine to suppose, and indeed 10
say to the pilot that the Ohio was of the coast or har
Dor. | sought our shores not to get home as that
word is Familiarity used, but to defend them. And
did not enter the port till all doubts were settled as to

THE FEVER thank God has left US for aye. The
reports of the Board of Health may show and then
an isolated of death from this cause but ep-
idemc, of danger to the new conner,
its terrors have departed We likely to remember
the season Of lSil as the most fatal which has for
years afflicted our CRY. There seems but little profit
pleasure in "reminiscences of mortality and yet the
mind cannot help recurring this direfu scourge and
rejecting sorrowfuliy its victims-among which
nearly every citizen number a friend or relative.
Among the better classes and more valued members Of
society, its ravages have been this year appalling 1t
appeared to seek out with a surprising tenaclty Of
virulence every individual whom exemption for long
series of years had inspired with the confidence of
safety II spared few ndeed-aDd when we state that
the deaths did not exceed 10 per of the sick and
that the records of the board Of Health will exhibit
a total of about 1900 fatal cases, some idea may be
formed Of the immense number attacked--N. o. Bee.

II is stated as rumor In the Richmond Wing
OF the 10th instant, that son or sons Of the
President were holding language to the effect
that Mr.. Webster was merely iocum tenens in
the Department of State, TO be disposed OF by
the President hereafter.
We cannot deny the existence of rumor-
but the fact alleged by the rumor above mention
ed we are authorized to contradict peremptorily.
The gossip in the INSTRUMENTATION news
papers in relation TO Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Spencer,
Mr.. Rives, Mr.. Gushing, Mr.. Wise, Mr.. Gil
mer, and other friends of the President is fabr-
Gated purely for the hopeful purpose Of exciting
distrust in the minds of the President and his
friends, in the expectation thereby OF weaken
ing the energies OF the Administration, and Of
distracting its councils. This object, however,
is so papabe that the conspirators will be foiled,
and nobody will be affected or deceived but
themselves and their dupes.
To get Mr.. Webster to desert his post seems
now 10 be concerted plan among some of the
Opposition Wings, and some Of the Opposition
Loco-tocos. No art, nor method, nor power Of
theirs, however, will succeed. They therefore
may as well save the ammunition they are fruit
lessy wasting on this point

JOHN BULL AND BROTHER JONATHAN

We find ourself occasionally under voluntary ne
cessi,y Of placing these respectable personages ux
opposition, that they might better understand each
other-for all mishaps come from bad understanding,
OF for lack of good one They seem to say, they
stand face to face, in sort of questionable attitude -
Some, let us reason together."
Now this we call neghborly; and we shall do what
We can, in a neghborly way, to promote a good un-
Outstanding between them, by giving them fair audi
ence and candid report in our columns We shall not
allow them to make long winded three days speeches;
long talks must be left to Congress We shall confnc
the parties in all cases, within the limits Of the hour
rule"
Having thus settled preliminaries, we shall now
simply give notice of the subject Of debate which we
have arranged their mutual second) for their
meeting:
The Question will be, Which party is biggest
The AMERICAN Party in England, or the BRIT
ISH Hartford CONVENTION PARTY. in America?

THE LABOR OF MIND.

1t is no unusual thing to hear the farmer and
mechanic assert that their representatives at the
capital, from the President TO the member of
Congress, shave an easy time of il and are
well paid" In this they are mistaken. A re-
posing attitude does not always constitute re-
pose, nor idle hands idieness with public men,
The farmer goes TO the field in the morning, and
at night enjoys refreshing slumber while nature
crowns his labors with success. II is not so
with the statesman. After mnging with friends
aud foes, and transacting the multifarious duties
of his Office during the day, he throws himself
down at eve, but no, 10 rest-there is no rest for
him Conscious of his responsibility respon-
sblity which probably involves the welfare Of
milllons--it is his constant study how TO pro-
mote and preserve his fame by avoiding the
numbcrless evils that beset him, and how 10 Sc
cure to the country all the benefits of his expe-
renee and wisdom. He has no rest. While
recumbent at midnight on his couch Though
his couch may be Of DOWN. could the merry
laborer but see his pallid cheek, his fiery sleep
less eye, and his clammy brow, he would ex-
claim there is norest there !" And in such hours
chirp, and no light seen but the pale rays Of the
moon streaming through the casement-the ge-
MUS of the statesman frequently decides for
veal or woe the fate of an empire 1t may re-
qulre years TO accomplish the object resolved
upon, and the exertions of million men TO
effect II but the result will be precisely what was
anticipated by the apparently effeminate being
in his midnight studies
The faithful public servant is truly Stare
to his country. He labors not with his hands,
but the labor of his mind during single hour
