The undersigned were appointed by the Board Of
Trustees of Augusta Female Seminary at the close
of the recent examination, to lay before the public
brief statement respecting that Institution.
This Seminary has now been in operation for
several years, and the inhabitants of the County at
least have become acquainted with it, and have
known the wisdom and efficiency with which il
has been managed by its able Principal, Rev. r.
w. BAILEY, aud his well qualified Assistants. 1t
Is no part OF our design to publish eulogium on
the Institution or its instructors: such things have
become so common that they have ceased to DO re-
garded Our simple object is, to express our sober
Judgment that the Seminary is entitled to the I'M
d,n'n,Sier confidence Of its patrons and the public
generally AS far, therefore, as the public have
confidence in our Judgment and that Of the Board,
and no farther. do we expect this notice to produce
any Impression favorable to the Seminary.
Mr.. and Mrs. BAILEY are already fsvorably
known as teachers, from their long connection with
the institution; but it is due to their assistant In
sfruc,ors. Miss STOCKBRIpeE and Miss BAILEY.
who have been connected with the Seminary only
curing the last year. to say that the examination of
their Glasses bore ample testimony to their qualf
cations, their fidelity and their diligence.

Between nine and ten O'Clock last evening, we

Another contest had taken place between the
Government forces under Gen. Bustamente and the

latter were defeated.
Bustamente's forces had entered Guanaiuato. and
it was considered that the opposition to the exist

The Xenia (Ohio) Torch LIGHT

The Xenia (Obio) Torch Light saws Tom
Corwn heartily approves Of the nomination Of Gen.
Taylor for the Presidency, and declares his inten-
ton TO take the stump in his favor on the ADJOURN
ment Of Congress. Mr.. Corwin has always been
decidedly favorable TO the nomination OF General
Taylor because-to quote his own words-he had
satisfactory reasons for believing that
General Taylor was opposed TO the annexation
of Texas.
"Is opposed to any further extension of our terri
tory at present, and probably for all time to come
"That, although a slave holder, he considers
slavery evil, and does not deem it right to ex-
tend or increase it,
THAT he has always deemed the Mexican War
impolitic and without Justification.
'And that on all other doctrines Of the Wing
party, bis principles are coincident with ours"

Monday and Tuesday nights last on the Violin and
Guitar, accompanied by vocal music and dancing.
Their selections were very fine and well adapted to
the taste both of the sentimental and comcal. The
house was crowded, and all present appeared de-
lighted with the manner in which they acquitted
themselves. They come to US highly recommend

these recommendations are deserved.
