a "Cataloguc Of the Academical Department of
the Newark College," from the Principle, from
| which it seems that the success of the academy
has been such as to outstrip the expectations Of
its most 'angune friends. During the present
year, it appears that so new students have cnter-
ed the academy, Of whom GO were present in
| tho winter term, and 6s in the summer term.-
The largo academy building recently erected by
the trustees, was crowded the first term after it
was opened, and increasing applications, domain
dod still larger provision for accommodating board
ers "a second building therefore has been e.
rectcd,' says the catalogue, land will be compile
ted and furnished for the reception of students at
| the opening of the winter session, at which time
litcs for private study and comfortable accolnmo-
dation of students fully equal to those afforded
by many Of our colleges" "From its relation
to the College" Continues the cataloguo) "s,u-
dents of the academy enjoy many advantages
not generally obtained at institutions of THE
kind. Those who wish to pursue some particu-
lar branch which falls more properly within the
college course may be admitted us irregular stu
dents to rccitc in any of the college classes Stu
dents also Of proper age and discretion, besides
the use of the academy library, may DO admitted
to the College library without additional charge.
Lectures also, and any other privileges of the COL
lego which can bc proftably enjoyed, will be free
to the students Of the academy"
The moderate e1pcncos of this institution is
recommendation of some weight at this particu-
lar time. Although claiming rank and posses
sing advantages far beyond the ordinary grade of
academies, the charge for all necessary items
(Sl95 per year, IS not up to the comm on STAN
dard. 1t is well known that the Legislature of
Delaware, endowed these institutions with no
mean hand, and hence we suppose, the ability Of
the Board of Trustees to furnish the means of a
ini shed education at 80 cheap a rate. We are
glad to sec such Il college and academy spring ing
up in our neighborhood. The South has too
long depended on the Mort h and East for educa-
ton. The chosen youth Of our State-thoso who
are to control hei interests, and supper, her char
acter and rights, and preserve her institutions,
are sent into all atmosphere of aboiitionism and
anti-Southcrn feeling, at the very age when their
characters are forming and their minds are re-
ceiving stamp for life. Let US have good col
egcs and academies among ourselves, and We
will raise up on our own soil band of men who
shall not be ashamed of their state and nstitu-
tons, and who will be fitted to take the first
rank in that thickcning contest which is waging
and must continue to be waged between the OPP
posing interests and prejudlces of tho different
parts of this great naton, men who fitted by edu-
cation as well as by birth to represent the South
will be able to consult for the permanent peace
and prosper ity of the whole country by bringing
to boar the TRUTH d, it is-and by displaying
zeal and ability to comprehend and maintain the
RIGHT also, as ii is.
