To the Editors Of the Wing:
Gentlemen-Your correspondent the Rev'd t<foy Nj
Lee his defence of the Virginia Confecnco the
attack of "B" in the Wing of the 9TH Jaav saws with
the motives that prompted th. ATTACH large and re-
spectacle body Of minister. nothing to do they are
with HIM who knowsie~shat is man; and who Judgeth
nsh'eousy; ansat is exactly where "B." wishes them
to remair
eain he says "B" is generally correct in his state
ments Of the origin and incorporation Of the Female Col
egate institute but he is entirely in saying tho
Va Conference leased the Insute in that he
for if you will look the communication referred to- you
will find that the originated with you, and with
"B" you have written leased instead of learned. VIII
you please correct tf
Again. he says, but B:" alledges the Conference
assumed the responsibility of the original OF the In.
sttute and became liable for the debts might and did
eontract and this is rauitous assumption without foun.
daon in the facts Of transaction the tandng
between the parties.
"B" aiedges such thing; but "B" did and does con-
slider the Conference morally bound pay make ef
fort pay, all debts by the Board and
ard, after had taken the Institute under auspices
Again he says although the Conference did claim the
night Of having from among its members representa-.
ton OF in the Board Of Trustees and required
annual report OF the condition OF the Institute,
only shew the purpose OF the body exercise Chr tan
vigilance tire character of the Institute and pecau
nonary oversight of the proceedings OF the Board"
And now Messrs. Editors, lie il be presumed, that
respectable and intelligent Board of Trustees would put
themselves entirely under the control Of another body,
without promise OF assistancoi "B" leaves for the
reader To Judge.
Again he says The Conference did oil it could do to
prevent the fall of the Institute but its efforts

II his memory retentive OF the OF the Board
OF Trustees seems To be OF those OF the Conference
he would recoect that b. has the records OF the Board
OF Trustees, (o whom the gentleman one.) aud not
his temper support him for he happy say, that he
was in n very good humOur when he the former
communication, and Is now,
Again he says zone of its present the first
the Board cose its DOORS sell IT, and purchase for
pitifu of S25, OO0.' "B' thinks the present
did until they sued, and had several
thousand dollars TO pay securities, and then, until
they had made frequent appeals 10 the Board relieve
them, and did sell until compelled do So save their
property For although they did purchase the lns
for $4,000, yet cost them $40 600, which
the they bound for, and had pay the sale

Again. he says II the Conference had been known
in the matter the credit system would have been
practiced."
Which assertion "B" denies for without the expected
assistance from the Conference, the Board could
gotten credit any for well known that they
had no funds unaded by the Agents whom the Conference
might appoint.
Again he says "B SIS brirnfu Of complaint, he not
only complains OF Whnt Conference uiu the
Institute but for what ii has done for Randolph Macon
College,
In that he is mistaken. "B"is great friend Of R. NJ
College and has been liberal contributor and thinks the
Conference deserves great deal Of credit for what they
have done for that institution, and only complains hni
did not DO for the Institute.
Againhe the College the home-b child Of the
Conference; the Institute adopted, but nevertheless

bestow OF it, charity upon its adopted daughter with
which she could receive advantage by her adopon

Again-he says, after careful consideration VI the
muncation Of "B.," have failed TO discover any other
object in the piece than purpose njure the Va. Con-
