Female School.

REv'D. GEORGE w. MITCHELL
AO and LADY propose to open Female
School in the town Of Woodstock, Shenandoah
County, Virginia.
In directing the studies of the pupils, their
object will be not to hasten them specifically
over great many books, but by explaining
difficult notwithstanding various subjects
and rgidly examining the pupils on every les
son, to make them thoroughly acquainted with
the elementary principles OF learning, that
they may not be puzzled and discouraged by
premature progress. They hope, from many
years experience in the very difficult task of
thus properly and successfully imparting in
struction to the minds of youth, and the mild
yet firm application of discipline to the various
dispositions of the young, as well as particular
attention that will be paid to the moral as well
as the mental improvement of such as may be
committed to their care, to give satisfaction to
their patrons and permanency to the school
they propose to establish
The terms of tuition, for a session Of five
months, are as follows:
Alphabetical lessons, Spelling, Reading,
Writing and Arithmetic, Sc
History, Zoology, Geography and Eng
fish Grammer, So
Rhetoric Botany, Chemistry, Astronomy
Mental and Moral Philosophy and Com
position, SlO
Latin and French Languages, SIP
Needle work in Worsted, Embroidery,
&C., 50
If the number of scholars should justify, Mu-
sic and Painting will be added.
Such as may feel disposed to encourage the
above school, will please acquaint the Rev. u
G. Brooke, or Mr.. John Gatewood with the
number of scholars they may send, and If the
prospect will at all justify change Of location,
the school will commence some time the first
of November next.

On the 5th inst, Saturday last, a man
was discovered floating on the surface of
the river, near Barry & Bryant's wharf,
in this town. When taken out Of the wa
ter. il was discovered that he had been
dead some time. The name of the unfor-
tuna,e man, was Benjamin Gauge, beIev-
ed to be native of Wake county. I'VE
think he was from Raleigh.) Where he
was drowned, or under what circumstan.
ces, has not yet been ascertained. A Cor.
oner's Jury was summoned, but without
eliciiing any thing. we believe. The YER
diet of the Jury was, that The deceased
came to his death by drowning" This
if we are not mistaken, is the fourth mar
who has been drowned in our river during
the lat few months.

Foot Race.

In the New Orleans Courier Of the 3lst
ult., we see an account Of a Foot Race
which came off in that place, the day be-
fore the paper went to press. The dis
lance was ten miles, and the purse $500 ;
for which there were four competitions
All of them broke down except a man by
the name of John Gildersleeve, who won
the money. running the ten miles in fifty
nine minutes and half. An immense
number of spectators Witnessed The race.
Wonder if they rubbed him down" when
he got through.

years, and who weighs the moderate amount
Of III lbs. He measures Is inches round

We pity the woman who had 10 nurse
that baby. From the same source, we see
that an engagement has been made with
his father, to carry him on to the Northern
Cities for the purpose OF exhibiting him a:

President POl<'s Business Habits,

Every one who has seen Col. Polk, and
marked his manners, habits, physical ap-
pearance, &C.. will at once agree with the
Nashville Union, that "the office of Pre-
sident has never been filled by any whose
business habits fitted him better for its ar.
duous and complicated duties, than James
K. Polk. He is not only man of un,ir.
ing labor, but he works with degree o.
method in all his details which peculiarly
qualities him for an Executive officer. He
is remarkable tor his promptness and pune
tuality in all his engagements. 1t is al
established rule with him never to post
pone what ought to be done Immediately
and that which can be done by himself hi
never shifts upon others. In the minute
details of business, his perfect system o
business, and his capacity for enduring in
! tense labor makes him remarkable for hi
intense accuracy. We venture to asser
that Col. Polk will give more attention t.
The details of the various executive officers
will understand their actual condition BET
ter and overlook the various subordinate
in the Offices with more vigilance, than an,
man has done since the days Of Washing
ton. Regular in his habits, temperate i
all things, endowed with rich treasur
of common sense, ambitious, 10 maintai
the good opinion of his country, ane hor
estly devoted to its best interests, he wi
rise in the estimation Of the people thro
out his whole term, and will leave the Pre-
sldency with a popularity enjoyed by fe,
t of his predecessOrs.'

o. We take the following article from
the North Carolinian. In addition to what
the Carolinian says we would state. that
we had conversation with Gen. Mckay
on the subject in point, when he made the
same statement to US. The matter, how
ever, had slipped our memory until we
saw it again referred to in the Csrollnlan.
Indeed we hardly thought worth while to
notice it, as we were certain 1t would moi
be believed by any man Of sense.
GEM Mckay.
The following paragraph has been 'n-
dustriously circulated by the whig press !;
and is even yet quoted and referred to
whenever it can be lugged in:
sin conclusion, we cite the language used the
other day, in Washington, by locofoco member
of Congress, (himself more honest than isparty,)
in alusion to this very case. How is it, said
he. 1--WE quote Mr.. Mckay, of N. Co.. " how is it,
that.if wing be turned out of Office, he immedi-
ately settles his accounts and we hear nothing
more of him-and the democrats, who would hold
on to Office is turned out for his dishonesty and
never settles his accounts! We got rid of Curtis,
and he squared everything with the treasury,
while by Hoyt and others we have lost, | know
not how many millions"
At the time this paragraph first appear
ed, (about the first of February, we stated
that we felt certain there was no truth in
it; and we now have the satisfaction OF
saying that we have seen Gen'l Mckay,
and made inquiry upon the subject. He
declares that he has never in his official
capacity uttered any such sentiments. and
has no recollection OF using such, express
sions in his conversations with individuals;
and feels certain that he never used the
names ofCurtis and Hoyt therein mention
ed, He stated further that he saw Mr.
Brooks, the author, in Washington. ane
asked him if he ever had any such CONVEX
sation with him or in his presence. ane
| Mr.. B. answered him in the negative, ant
stated that he obtained il from another pa
per!
We presume very few, if any of the
whig papers that have propaga'ed this sto
ry, will make this correction; but we hope
the democratic journals will.
