In communica lion in The Enquirer OF The
'2Oh instant, signed "V.," some notice IS taken
!ot former article in said paper OF May 50, over
]tbe signature Of "a Friend toihe University. =
|"V." complains OF The important errors, andthe
as,rapee want of accuracy" in the article re-
viewed: and whilst he "purposey avoids any
documents" on these, he grayey sets about correct
hing the errors with some little show OF au-
3thorily, and lays before the public reasons why
3lhe salaries of the Professors OF the University
should not be reduced, though he intimates that il
is a sin Of no small magnitude, that one should
Take il upon himself 30 adrise and inform The
Board Of Visitors and The public"
Now, what are these errors? "V." mentions
lone-'that The University IS The most crpens'r
institution in the United Siates"-and this he
would make the reader believe is based solely
upon The statement Of "a Friend 10 The Univer-
3sy" that whilst one student comes of with SOU,
len go over that sum-" If "V." will read again
lthe article OF May 80, he will see that the former
assertion is not based upon The latter. The one
lis not the premises, and the other the conclusion,
nor is there any logical connection between them.
They are independent affirmalions. So much
Flor one gross blunder into which ~" has fallen,
though his object is 10 eOrreet errors.
If "a Friend 10 the University" has fallen into
3'imporant errors" the errors are TO be found in
1.-THE publications of The literary institutions OF the
3conn,ry. He was TOO we'll aware that the opposi-
3tion 10 the proposed measure OF reform would be
hoo great to base an important assertion upon
This own authority This would be childish, if
snot stupid course, though "V." would have ii
THUS to be. Here is the authority:

Thou hast met thy last foe thy last conflict Is DONE
And, unconquered as ever, the victory is won;
For fearless and calm, thou TO die hast lain down,
And earths laurels exchanged for sar-beaming crown
The sword OF the cheftain more shalt thou WELD,
Where the banners of victory wave proud DER the held
For the flag that wont In proud triumph to wave
O'er the fields where you fought sadly droops Ger thy
grave.
Thou hast asked that no pomp should thine obseGuss
claim
No lannon's deep thunder peal forth TO thy fame
That the plume, nor the sword, nor musketrys roar,
Nor musc's low wall, should proclaim thee no more
Nor the marshalled array OF sad soldiery tread
Where the CArsfan would quietly sleep with the dead
The pageant Of Will pass with day,
But thy fame, noble patriot can never decay;
A watch word to glory, thy name long shall be
A war cry, TO marshal The hosts Of tho free
And hand from thy countrys proud annals may
The name tina, Is linked with her glory forever!

twenty, dressed in their Sunday Dress in silent
grief; the tears rolling down their dark faces
The houses ervants were Immediately around u the
foot of the coffin. Poor fellows! when the Re
verend Clergyman (Mr. Edgar) addressed him
self 10 them, as to The domestic character OF their
deceased father and friend, there was one sush OF
