FoREsrvILLE ACADEMY. The Fail session for IS49
of this Institution, terminated Friday the 3Oth of
November.
At night, Concert of vocal and instrumental mIe.
sic was given. The weather was mild, and the moon
shone with unrivalled splendor A large number
were in attendance. With pleasing emotions we all
went to the concert. Our pleasure was heightened
when found the audience room tastefully decora-
ted with festoons of evergreens and pretty flowers.
But when " music with it's voluptuous SWELL -
called forth it by youth and beauty our delight
was so great as to make forget for time all the
vexations and heart-aches of life, and to give dull
at least a weeks vacation. The Duets were per-
formed well and in exact time. The teachers deserve
all praise for their faithful andapersevering efforts
made to advance the scholars inthis difficult branch
of study.
This school may now be regarded as we'll estab-
lished, and in fourishing condition. 1t is under
the superintendance of Dr. VIM. nj. Crenshaw, a
gentleman of undoubted piety, and possessing those
social virtues which make an agreeable compan-
ion an ardent friend, and kind fellow citizen, 1t
is to be hoped that this school will receive all the
patronage it richly deserves, and especially that all
in the immediate vicinity will not fail to improve the
opportunity presented of giving their children good
education-without which beauty hath no charms.
gold no value. The next session will commence on
the Ist Monday in January. S, S.

BURNING OF THE CAPITOL OF ALABAMA. The
Montgomery .4dUertiser of Saturday, says: GAS we
write, the crumbling walls all that remain OF
once beautiful Capitol. 1t was discovered to be on
fire yesterday, about half past o'clock, and all
efforts to save it proved unavaing. BY six o'clock,
it was entirely consumed. When we first saw the
smoke it issuing from the front porticO, and it is
inexplcabe how the fire could ,have communicated to
this part of the building from any of the chmnies in
the Senate or Representative Chambers, and these
were the nearest of those which had fire in them;
and still it is difficult to account for it from the
incendiary it originated in the roof. 1t is
ful dispensation of Providence, which has thrown
gloom and dependency entire community.
We understand, says the Advertiser that the clerks
of the houses saved all their papers, and that the
archives of the State in the Offices of the Governor,
Secretary of State, Treasurer aud Comptroller were
also all saved. Most all the furniture, and the larger
portion of the different Libraries likewise pre-
served from the flames, that the great loss is the
building. The city of Montgomery will doubtless
erect another should it be necessary. When the fire
occurred the Senate had just adjourned. The House
in session, butin the confusion, broke up with
out adournng, that consructively is yet in
sion. Both Houses will probably meet in the Church
this morning and adjourn until the inaugu-
ration the 18th, allow time for suitable arrange
ments to be made for their accommodation.

RICHMOND AND DANvILk5E ROAD

We learn from the Richmond Times gaat the town
of Milton represented in the late meeting of the
stockholders of the Richmond and DanviIle Road,
and that the proposition to locate the Road by way
of Milton pressed with much energy before that
body. The majority of the General Committee went
further than to commend the proposition " to the
favorable consideration of the stockholders but the
minority through Mr. N. j. Palmer. submitted report
" setting forth the advantages of locating the Road
along the Dan River" and concluding with the fol-
lowing Resolution
"Resolued, That in view of connection with the
proposed North Carolina Central Railroad, at near
the town of Greensborough, that the President and
Directors be- and they hereby instructed to locate
the road to continue up the north side of Dan
River, to a point opposite the town of Milton, or
within half mile of Milton toll bridge, and from
thence, the most direct and practicable route to
Danville."
Col. Townes, Mr.. Lanier, and others spoke in OPP
position to the Milton route, and Messrs. Palmer and
Barrett advocated it at considerable length. The
discussion was terminated by general concurrence
the portion of the report relating the Milton location
be laid upon the table, and the subject be referred
the discretion of the President and Directors. We
learn from the Times that the advoca of survey
of the Milton route assented to this disposition of the
NATTER with the understanding that it the purpose
of the Chief Engineer to order survey for line be-
tween Milton and Danville, within the territory of
Virginia, and to report upon it before finally deter
termining the location of the Road.

posIr1oN. oF ZACHARY TAYLOR.


What high-minded and honorable man would oc-
cupy the position which General Taylor now occu-
pies before the American people and the world, Tor
all the civil honors military glorles which were
ever won from the birth of Adam down to the pres
ent timea
In order to secure the confidence of his countrymen
and thus insure his election, he made solemn pleoges
to them with regard to his course IT ne were eected
all of which, since his election, he has recklessly
violated or permitted others to violate IN his name.
For the same purpose, he permitted one set OF MS
followers at the South to pledge him against the
Wimot Proviso; and another set at the North TO
pledge him in faoor OF 1t.
devolves everything upon Congress. The only duty
which the constiutition he apparnty understands
it. imposes upon him, is, to deal out the spols to his
political friends under the direction OF his CABINET
This seems to be his only understanding OF his du-
ties as President if his acts are any Interpretation OF
his opinions.
Acknowledging his own incapacty at the outset
for the great office which he occupies, he has thrown
the execution of all its active functions upon the
cabinet ercept receiving has salary that he faithfully
attends to.
Having permitted ten thousand men to be removed
in his name in violation of his pledge against pro-
scrption he still imagnes that one has been re-
moved for opinions sake, and that tie whole ten
thousand victims who have been decapiated are un-
worthy knaves. He thus allows himself to be.put
in the attitude ofa wholesale libeller OF his country
men.
PO'SA
vorabe than those of. any former President, with
one half of the American people contributing to his
elevation by their votes, and the other halt kindly
DISPOSED towards him. he has contrived to estrange
totally the latter. At this moment he is probably
the unpopular man that ever occupied the pres
idental chair.
His friends, in his behalf, have appealed to the
baotbox for approval of his conduct since he be-
came President; and that appeal has been answered
almost by universal condemnation
His ineficiency, acknowledged by himself and
proved by his conduct, President, has induced
very many of the American people to doubt his ca
paciiy as general, and to attribute the victories
gained by the armies which he led to the skill OF
others, and to the bravery of his troops rather than
to his knowledge of military science, the sound
ness of his judgment.
The whole country accuses him of dupIicity-
with making promises which he has not only not per-
formed, but openly violated. And what makes the
case of General Tayer more lamentable, more NOR
tifying to himself and to the American people, Is,
that these accusations true to the letter.
What honorable man could occupy the station
which Zachary Taylor occupies, under the same
circumstances without feeling his cheek blister with
a bitter sense of its real degradation! Union
