based on the single, great and patriotic
principles of Sou,hern defence. Hereto
iorc,s the Federal Government, it's honors

We felt SO deep an interest in the mat
ter, and not having time to converse with
Mr.. Walker OIL the subject, that after leav-
ing there we addressed letter to him,
making certain inquiries into the origin,
progress, and probable success of the IN
stitution, an answer to which will dc found
in another column.
While every other department Of art, sci
ence literature and education IS receiving
the attention tho Southern public, we do
not hesitate to say that this can lay as high
a claim to public consideration as any 9th
or; and we sincerely hope the legislature
Of South Carolina will look to it, and see
that such an appropriation or other arrange
ment is made as will place this school upon
a sure and permanent basis. Independent
OF the propricty and expcdIcncy OF encour-
aging Southern men and Southern enter
prise, the incnlculable blessings it will be-
stow upon that unfortunate class Of our fcl-
low beings in our midst, ought to induce
every Southern patriot and Christian to do
all he can to promote the success of this in
stitution; and we are assured and believe
that no one is more entitled TO the conf
dence and support Of the public than Mr.
Walker, who has devoted his time and
money for the last two years To the es,ab-
iishment Of this school, without any thing
like an adequate compensation Tor his
