e. A late number Of The Cbror;c,o n o.


editorial notice of Burlington Female Semina
ry, represents that that institution is the only
one in the State, designed exclusively for Fee
males. This is, of course, a great mistake, as
the Advertising columns of the Chronicle it
self Will show We have Female Seminary
in our own village, under the charge of accom-
plished and experienced Teachers, and one
which has, in former years, enjoyed high re-
putation-having been originally founded by
the celebrated Mrs. Willard, of Troy Female
Seminary. We see no reason why this school
may not continue to prosper as heretofore
and we are sure that no effort on the part of
the present Principal Will be wanting, to rem
der it entirely satisfactory to all its patrons

| FRoM IRELAND.-The news by the last
Steamer indicates no material change in Irish
affairs. Smith O'Brien had been taken at one
Of the Railroad stations. He had left his
men at Slievenamon, regarding their case as
hopeless 1t is not expected that any serious
effort at rebellion will be attempted by the l.
IRISH at present.
The late news proves the falsity of the Tri-
bune letter, Gin our Telegraphic despatch of
last week, as was generally anticipated. The
Tribune alone is responsible for the hoax
and the known character of that journal, here
tofore, has given the story wide circulation.
1t seems to have been got up by certain en-
thusiastic friends of Ireland in New York, and
was made the means ofgathering an immense
meeting in that city, and of procuring a sub
| scription of several thousand dollars, which
will probably never get beyond the pockets of
the fabricators Of this story.-We shall be
moro cautious, in future, how we trust even the
Tribune for statement of facts
"a 1t has often been charged upon the
leaders OF the ultra Abolitionists that they were
playing into Locofoco hands. That charge is
now openly justified In the eyes of all the
world. The Liberty party has been swallowed
by the partizans of that arch Locofoco and
doughface, Martin Van Buren,. Our readers
will find in another column "the way it was
DONE" No Honest Abolitionist, of ordinary in
telligence, can be proud of the transaction.
"a John c. Haswell, ofthe Bennington Ga
zette, late Postmaster at East Bennington, has
been removed from Office. 1t is supposed that
the Department at Washington were not sufli-

South CAROLINA.-IIon.Is Isaac E. Holmes
is announced as a candidate for reelection in
the Charleston District IS. c. Mr.. Holmes is
new said to be the only member in the pres
ent delegation favorable to Gen. Taylor's cleo
ton. An active opposition is organizing a
gainst Mr.. Holmes in Charleston, and James
Smith Rheit { a brother of Hon. Robert Barn
well Rhett) is already in the field.
The above we cut from the New York Tri-
bune, of Wednesday last. When will our OPP
ponents have done with their silly twaddle a
bout South Carolina going for Taylor? /
81 What motive is that which induces GER
tain protested opponents of Slavery to turn
their backs on the Wing party, which has
! fought manfully for freedom, as every voter
in Congress for the last ten years will show,
and give themselves over to the embrace Of

party, the apologists and upholders of Sla-

~ We learn from the Free Press that Mr.
Hale of Brandon, a leading Liberty man, bolts
from the Van Buren, team. Working in such
traces is not consistent with his Liberty no
tions. In Massachusetts, the Wings who bolt
ed on Taylor are now boiling on Van Buren,.
So says the Atlas and other papers.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WNDsOR.-We
learn from the Windsor journal extra, thai
destructive fire broke out in that place, on the

Whole loss, about $4,000. Partly insured.
81 Hon. SAMUEL S. PHELPS arrived at
his residence, in this town, on Saturday last.
We are happy to learn that Judge Phelps,
notwithstanding the fatigue of long and la
borious session, in which he has borne dis
tipgushed part, is prepared for active service
in the field, in the present canvass.
rgH Daniel Webster is to address the Wings
of Marshfeld, Mass, on Thursday next. He
takes decided ground for Taylor and Fill
