We perceive in various p;lI,crss s M the
name of some thirty or moro Officers

This is another of the many late de-.
monstratiye proofs given of the So.pAR..
TY principles Of Gen. Taylor. For ii
such is indeed the fact fact, and ne
doubt not that it is. We contend that
party spiyii, was tlle cause Of tlleiir re-
moval, md not Us stated tho principle,
OF ECONOMY, from the fact that several
If not all of those Gentlemen were in
opposition to Gen. Taylor's election,
and stas,,cli atl1ieg'ents to tie South and
Democratic principles. Not content
with the renovation he has effected by
the removal from public offices Of frust,
all those who were professed Democrats,
he carries his vengeance into the minor
branches of tho Government and seeks
at one fell swoep to blot from the off.
cial record the name of ssDcmocrat,'
eventat the ignoniny he 80 justly de-
serves. Hero arelmen who have fought
and wasted the greater part of their
lives in the service of their Country,
removed ofttheir stations, and perhaps
deprived Of their only means Of support,
merely re to crafty party prejudice.
This then is the man whom the Soutl,
have elected to the highest Office inIthe
gift of tho nation. Verify, it has ia
ken q serpent into its bosom, whose.
sting is now showing its gratitude.

GESTLEMN:
Having noticed in
the last Sumter Banncr the programme
of studies intended to be taught at the
institute, with the expenses Of board
aud tuition and the salaries Of officers
&c, am induced to suggest q few
alterations in some of the items; not in
the spirit Of contradiction or complaint;
but because j think them calculated to
subservc the cstinterest Of the institu.
ton. am impressed that q cheaper
rate of board and tuition, would distri-
butte more equallyits advantages, and
insure q larger number Of scholars::
as the patronage Of those Of moro mod
crate means would be thus secured.
Tho principal ought to be, and I have
no doubt is, a gentleman of eminent
literary ind scientific attainmcnts. and
should think IN addition to his other
qualifications, understand music. To
his salary, | have no objection; but in
the event Of the number Of pupils in
creasing would respectfully recommend
the election Of another Female Teacher.
Three hundred dollars, each, / am
ofopinion, is amply sufficient for the,
services Of the Female Assistant Teach.
ers.
The Bursur the same, as his duties
DO not appear to be of very laborious
character. A small family in his case,
would be preferred, as his opportunities
for the faithful discharge Of his duties
would be less restricted.
The reduction / propose in the rate.
of board and tuition for the session Of
five months, English course, is that it
piacsd sixty dollars instead Of seventy
five.
Music on the Piano, Harp or Gui.
tar, including vocal music and use of
instrument, fifteen dollars for session,
in place of twenty.
Latin, French and Italian tho same
price.
Drawing and painting to bc reduced
to twelve dollars.
Shell and was.work, materials furn-
ished by the pupils, at three instead of
five dollars.
repeat, that ], am of the opinion, that
the institution will be more extcnsiy-
ly useful to our community and profit
able to the Stockholders at the reduced
rate Of prices proposed than at those
sat forth, in yeur notice of the 18th of
June; and feeling deeply interested in
the success Of this highly praise.worthy
