 AT TTSCAV nnCA
AT TUSCALOOSA.

fE\|llS lnstltu ion commenced It's second ses. l N sion the second Monday in March, and the operations of the Institution have been very much embarrassed on account of the absence of the regular agent and he losses in subscrip- tions, &c. It gives us great pleasure to state that the friends of the Institution have not for saken il, but have literally co-operated with lbe Principal in lquidaling its debt, and making preparatory arrangements 10 commence the second session. l he second session will end the last of July. allowing the pupils to spend ] August and September at their homes. Ten pupils will be instructed at present, and 1t is believed the school will gradually increase as il becomes more and more extensively known. As this Institution is intended 10 embrace all the branches taught in academies for seeing persons, the Principal has engaged ihe ser vices of teachers of experience and thoroughly acquainted with all the branches in this In. stilutlon.
 Mir. T. s. NEWELL, graduate of the Ohio Institution for ihe Blind, will act as Pro- lessor of Vocal and Instrumental Music. MT. H. CHAPlN, as Professor of the Arts and Sciences.
 Instruction will be given as soon as practi cable, to select class by the Principal in Anclent and Modern History, Literature, &c The Teachers just mentioned, devote their services to the Institution at very moderate salary being aciuated more by the interest they feel for tn, blind, than any pecrniary consd- eration.
 The following course of study and regulations have been adopted tor the present session |:

From to A. on the sabbath, the pupils w!ll be as. sembled to hear reading of sacred history, or lecture from some interesting passage of scripture, calculated 10 direct their thoughts to a perusal of the bible.
 The Principal would here state that the In- sllutoD is entirely dependent for support on individual contributions notwithstanding this, If its patronage should be equaio that received during the last year, there will be no difficulty m going on; and as our agent, whose family has been ill, IS expected soon, he will be re- questcd to visit al the counties in the State, for the purpose of laying the subject before the citizens generally
 The cost to those who are able to pay will be $50 per year; and as many indgent blind, will be received and educated as the funds re- celved will support, we request the editors of the different papers who may read this adver- tisement, to insert it in their columns. The Principal of this Institution would be obliged 10 persons having children or relatives blind, 10 write immediately, staung the age, capacity, circumstances, &c., wis ing to ie- ceive situation.
