SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY

At meeting Of the citizens OF Southampton
county, IN Monday, aIsl July, w. B. Goodwin
was called upon 10 preside, and Robert Murray
acted as Secretary. The object OF The meeting
having been explained on motion, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
The citizens OF Southampton, with one accord,
have me; together 10 minele their regrets with
those OF The nation at large, at great national
bereavement a glorious light has sunk in our
Western Hemisphere-a mighty genius has been
exlnguished-a noble and good man sleeps with
his fathers. Andrew jackson, The patriot, the
hero, the statesman, the christian philosopher, is
no more. Ripe in years and in honors, after hav-
ing "fed the measure OF his countrvs glory" he
has at length, fallen under tho stroke OF Death
overpowered, but not dismayed-- exhibiting, in
the last sad scene, the same unwavering fonitrde
which had characterized his eveniful ite II the
applications this vast republic could have pro-
longed his valuable existence, his voice would
still be heard 10 counsel TO animate, 10 strength
en- and confirm his counlrymen in the principles
OF patriotic duty. But, alas! nor prayers, nor
tears could avail 10 stay the hand of The fell de-
stroyer. He had more than fulfilled the term al
lotted by the sacred psalm:.t to mans con,iuu-
ance upon earth, and with calm resignation and
Heavenly hope, yielded up his exalted spirit,
surrounded BY sorrowng friends and weeping
domestics.
There is much in the lie and death Of suck
man which should not be permitted to pass unob-
served or unimproved BY The present generation,
nor lost TO posterity. His name and his exam.
pie should serve as beacon light, 10 guide all
those who may come after him in HE paths of
honor, virtue and arden, pa'rio,sn--tcach them,
that he, who is ever ready 10 peril all for his
coun,ry's good, will ever live in her affections,
honored, exalted, bsloved-that she will en-
Irvine chaplet Of laurel for his brows whilst he
continues upon earh and wear upon her own
the cypress wreath, when death shall deprive her
OF hs services-Therefore
Re,oivsd, That, whilst 1t may not become
Christian people TO murnur or repine at the dis
pensalions Of Providence, We must ever deplore
The loss OF man, who, endowed bv his Creator
with extraordinary power zealously and faith
iuily elevated them to the advancement OF The ho-
nor the interests and glory Of his country. luna
nimously adopred.l
a resolution was moved, seconded, and una
n,mously adopted, that Col William C. Parker
be requested 10 deliver, on August Court day, a
funeral Eulogy, in honor of The departed hero and
patriot, General jackson. Also, ,ha. the foreso-
ing preamble and resolutions be published in The
Richmond and Petersburg newspapers.

"l'he committee on the general subject Of the
finances of the University, have had anxiousIy
under their consideration the enquiry, whether
any, and what, relrenchments could be made in
the expenses of students. And as preliminary 10
this, they have obtained from the Proctor and Pa
ircn statement from his books, showing the actu-
al expenditure OF each OF the resident graduates
o: the present session. From This number they
have selected SIX comprising one OF the highest
and one oil the lowest grade Of expenditure, with
four others exhibiting fair general average ana
have caused The subject Of expenditure 10 be
shown in detail.
"1he expenses Of the residue of the graduates
Of the present session. are shown by an average,
designating them BY their respective schools.
"The statement referred 10 is exhibited with this
report.
"Thc. aggregate of expense to each student,
thus practically stated, the committee cannot be-
licve will he deemed c3,ravagant nor DO they
see where any rational reduction can be made
Still, from desire 10 prune down the expenses 10
The lowest scale consistent with the welfare OF the
instiulion and believing that it may be done as
far as now indicated, they recommend tina, The
price of board be reduced to one hundred dollars
for The session, and that the commissions on de-
posiies OF the students he limited TO sums deposit
ed Tor payment of board and Professors fees, and
that said commissions be no longer charged 10
The students, but deducted from The sums so depo-

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The list OF appointments in to-day's paper
was furnished by the State Department for all
the Democratic papers, TO appear simultane.
ously. That the appointments did not appear
in our paper Of last evening, as they did in the
Globe, was owing to the mere accident of Mr..
Blair having passed by the Department, and
taken his copy with him, while those for the
other papers were delivered by the messenger
some hours subsequently.
We understand, on updoubted authority, that
no Partially is shown, or has been shown, by
the Executive to any one Of the Democratic
journals in this city, and that the design is to
regard them all with equal favor, until the adop-
ton of an Official Journal of the Government
be msde--which has not yet been done
We state these facts TO prevent a forestal
