MT. JACKSON LITERARY SOCIETY.

An institution of the above title has
recently been formed in the village of
Mt. Jackson. in the county of Shenando.
ah, Va. The principles of this insttu-
ton are essentially the same as those of
majority Of the Lyceums in our coun.
try.
The leading object Of thu. Mt. Jackson
Literary Society, is presented in its con-
stitution, viz: The Improvement of
its members in useful knowledge and the
advancement of popular education.'
The principal means Of improvement
will be the delivery Of lectures and RI
Ing Of essays, debating, &c., lat the reg
ular meetings Of the society on subjects
Of practical Importance. Gentlemen at
a distance who are members or who feel
an interest in tie institution, and who
cannot conveniently attend, will be re.
quested to furnish essays. one of which
viii be read or lecture will be deliver.
ed at each meeting.
The object of this institution, as above
noticed, is sufficiently comprehensive.
but it may not be amiss to state some of
the leading subjects which will claim the
particular attention OF tie society.
I. Popular Education. The present
aspect of this subject in our state; the
character of primary schools; the effects
ct the present system of edueation; the
uses and abuses of the Literary fund,
&c.
2. Lectures will be delivered and es,
says read, on those scientific subjects
which have bearing on practical every
day concerns.
5. Historical facts. The mineralogy
of the State, but especially the surround
ing country. Agriculture. The gener-
al character, productions and qualities
Of our soil, &C., together. with lectures
on Chemistry, Botany. Philosophy, f.
Iectricity, Astronomy. &c.
The general character and objects Of
this institution may be learned from the
above remarks.
The officers Of the society are a Presi-
dent, Vice President, Secretary and
Treasurer.
The success of similar institutions
elsewhere gives fattering hopes, tha: the
Mt. jackson Literary Society will be ex-
tensiVely useful. It's success, however,.
will depend on the active 'exertions Of
its members, and officers, to increase
its number and give interest to its NEE
tings.
Meetings will be held semi-monthly
during the winter, and monthly during
the remaining part of the year.
Gentlemen whose ewes may meet fbis
notice, are requested to contribute their
influence to promote the objects of the
institution. This they can best do, by
becoming members, and by communica-
ting facts which they may deem Of inter
est. .-

zation.
To found colony on.a distant aud
unfrequented shore, in the midst OF a.
barbarous people, was bold experiment;
but it's success has been triumphant
! The blessings which it has already con-
ferred, and the far more extended bless.
ingS which it promises, fully prove the.
wisdom Of those who planned, and the
perseverance of those who have conduC.
tedathe enterprise.
But it is not now in a situation TO be
abandoned. The work is merely begun.
That which has been done in the past.
only shows what may be accomplished
in the future, and urges its prosecution
with increased energy and enlarged re-
sources. 1t is true there is established
in that dark quarter of the globe free
Republic, an Asyluln TO which the scat
tered and despoiled children of Africa
may return But AFRICA is not yet
enlightened! Her barbarous ant ensla-
we'd population is not yet changed into
an educated and Christian community.
The cOlored people Of this country are
not yet separated from among the white
race, where they are deprived Of the So
cial and civil privileges necessary TO
their elevation They are not yet es-
tablished in that land Of their fathers,
where all circumstances favor their ele-
walton, and all motives stir them to du.
ty.'
Why then have many of our ANNU-
AL SUBSCRIBERS failed to send in
their contributions They surely do
not imagine that this work can be =,
on without their aid In years tha., f1esa
past, when they paid their subscriptions
promptly, we we're unable to do ali tina,
the cause demanded. Now the work
has increased on our hands. We have
laid our plans calculating upon the pay
ment OF their subscriptions. Do they
know, can they know, how much we are
embarrassed by their delay? Nearly
TWO months OF the present year are now
gone. We are obliged to fit out an ex.
petition from NEW ORLEANS Immediate
iy with about 80 emigrants, who are un-
der the necessity of leaving the country
speedily. When our friends understand
this, they surely will not longer forget
their obligations IN the matter.
We will therefore consider it special
favor if those who have pledged us five,
ten. fifty, or hundred dollars annually,
will remit by mail the amount now due,
and no. wait to be called upon by an
agent
We have many other patrons, who
have not given any formal pledge to con-

1t was emphatically business session
decidedly the shor test that has assem-
bIed for many years; and perhaps no
past session Of that body has performed
a greater amount of labor in the same
length of time. Many bills of import
ance were passed. The revenue or tax
bill was amended and remoddled, so as
to make the distribution Of burdens
just and equal upon every class and in
terest of our citizens. 1t does not, how
ever, IN its principles and details, differ
materially from the bill Of last year.
Among the bills recently passed, are
The bill incorporating the Mount Jack
son Literary Society-the bill iucorpo-
rating the Market Female Acade-
my-the bills Incorporating the mining
companies IN the counties OF Shenandoah
and Warren. The bill proposing TO aid
the Valley Turnpike Company, by a
