pert of september, and that the Central Committee
should call the attention OF the Wings to it in brie
add -ess Accordingly, sent yesterday to the Wing
Office to procure list OF the of the committee,
tha.ng misiaid mne0 that might summon the COM
mitiee: do not obtain the list, and now invite the
committee to meet al my office Thursday next, at

The SHAKESPEARE Soc1ErY.-A yerv curious and
valuable discovery has recently been made among the
papers and evidence of the Moslyn family 1t is an
original play OF the time of Shakespeare even the title

Mr.. Payne Collier, the director of the Shakespeare So

story very remarkable one, of highly popular char

The remarks of the Washington Republic up
on the new Constitution of Virginia deserve at
tention. Aside from the basis question, abou t
which we consider all contest ended by the action
of the Convention we have no hesitation in say
ing that we cone ur generally in the Republics
cheerful view of the whoesomeness of popular
ling our State governments The amended Con-
stitution is, in our opinion, marred by some very
Objectionable features, such as the requirement.
of biennial sessions of the Legislature, the reei-
gibility of the Judges, and the popular election of
Judges of the Court of Appeals, and of too large
number of petty officers. We apprehend, also,
that the experiment of constituting the two Hous-
es of the Assemblyon different bases, will prove
to be highly unfavorable to wise legislation
corning the great interests OF the State, and will
tend to continue, so long it lasts, that feeling
ofdistrust between the East and the West, which
is so much to be deprecated, But, despite all
our objections, we must declare our firm con-
viction that the good sense of the people of Vir-
GINA will under this, or almost any republican
Constitution, preserve amongst them the essence
of liberty and the substantial blessings of good
government.

Terrorism.

The Winsboro IS. g. Register, one of the
hottest of the ire.eating journals, has taken such
offence at the late cooperation or anti-secession
meeting in Charleston, that it publishes the names
of large number of merchants who participated
in the meeting, and calls upon the secessonsts to
Withdraw their custom from the traitors. The
meIcnants, not to be outdone by the threat, re-
quest the Evening News to republish the list, by
way Of giving it wider circulation.

COLLEGE REFoRM-We have received little
pamphlet with this title, by Colonel Francis II.
Smith, of the Virginia Military Institute. The
eminent success of this gentleman as an instruc
tor and guardian of young men gives warrant that
whatever he suggests will be found worthy ofat-
tention. He proposes some important modifica-
tons Of the present system of collegiate educa-
ton as, for example, the introduction of marks
of merit and demerit, not merely for scholarship
but for conduct in variety of particulars. He
would abolish the regular course of study now
prescribed to every student at most of our insti-
tutions, and establish separate colleges to qualify
young men for different professions He advises
the adoption of the military system of instruction
especially in the division of classes into Sec
lions, so that every student shall be thoroughly
examined on each lesson-but he thinks the study
of military science inexpedent at any but strictly
military schools, which really constitute part Of
the military of the State, and where discipline
can be lawfully enforced, if necessary, as in the
army.
The essay is written with marked perspicuity
ofstyle, and is handsomely published by 1--WE regret
to seq Philadelphia house.
