College of saint Andrew.

We are pleased to learn. from the Van Buren Is tsgsacer, that this college. without any delay will be opened and that the l2th of Feb usry next il will commence its session.
 This institution chartered by the last Isgisla- ture atter an opposition 10 the bill to incorporate it. illibeTal If not Ihtoleta6t When the avowed pur- pose of the charter 10 establish college of the
 first order in our State and disseminate its useful to all citizens who chose 10 patroniLe it, it seemed 10 us a very narrow view which discovered objection strong in its seetaIiaRisE. Although
 ii may be under the guidance Of Catholics, so long as it will hold out advantages for superior eduea. ton, and oders what we are not likely to obtain through any other source, who would throw an ob> s,aele in the way of such an enterprize' I, is a matter of common repu,e that the Catholic semi. naries are conducted more successfully than any other sectaran institutions in this country. hile, in promoting the higher branches of Iearniag they are far in the advance.
 We are informed that Ssint Andrews will be "under the care and patronage of the Ri. Rev Dr. ByTne, Bishop of Arkansas" gentleman in every respect qualified to win for it character and dts tinclicB.
 The reputation enjoyed by Bishop Byrne for emi- nent lesrsng and piaiy, was known to us before he reached Arkansax; ana personal acquaintance with him since has served to eoakum all that has been said of his talents and Gloqaence, his polished and gentIemanIy department.
 The uniting zeal which he has exhibited in the cause of educ4ion in this State, entitle him to oui wasmest gratitude; and we sincerely hope that his present undertaking may prove as prosperous under his fostering care his most feTvent wishes would make if.
 We take pleasure in saying this much not only as matter of justice to him. but m return for tesiss received at his hands.
 The Inteisencer, after stating the terms, which are moderate. says: :" Saint Andrew is located oh handsome site, about half mic from For, Smith, where the saiubrity of the air, shd ;se excellent waters, guaranty good heallk io the faculty and the students. This institution is under the care and patronage of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Byrae. Bishop oT Arkansas, and under he immediate superin,endenee Of the Rev. P. Walsh, assisssd sy several gentle men. graduates Of the highest literary institutions, who are accomplished scholars. and ia every re- sPeci competent to perform the responsible duties ihey have assumed.
 Persons in other parts of Arkansas. ss well as in Louisiana and the Indian country, here have an opportunity of sending their youth 10 an institution near at home where they can receive perfect edu- cation at less expense than woaId be incurred by tending them od to distant Stsies.''

E-The Washington correspondent Of the Charles ton Courier thus speaks of Col. TsliafeTo, of vir. ginia. now eighty years of age, and for forty years a member of Congress:
 His health and faculties have never for moment given way, and he is the same man nov that he was when he was the confidential adviser of Jeffer- son, Madison and Monroe-the same man that he was when he opposed the administration of the elder Adams Col. Taliaferro has always lived liberay, and has esjoyed, as much as any man that ever lived. soclal pleasures, in all their approved forms. A, snpper party, the other night, he was asked what his secwi was. He replied that he had never known dlsease--ihat he had never made but one nes! day--tkat il he took supper, he d,d not dine--that he had risen early--had always used ex- ercise, and never dn horseback when he could go on foot; and that. under all circumstances, he had preserved an equality of temper. His rule was never to safer thaS which was past to prey upon his mind--to enjoy what Providence sent him, and to trust 10 the futurs.
