TENfiIS Institution, account OF the rapidly IN
IL creasing demand for admittance, has been
compelled TO change its location-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
mediation Of the large number seeking entrance.
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matriculated, of whom near one hun
dred have left or been discharged mainly for want
of suitable "quarters." Drennon Springs has been
secured the future and permanent location OF the
school To the great body Of our patronage, com
ing as il does from the South and West, no point
could be more desirable. Situated within one mile
of the Kentucky river, midway between Frankfort
and Louisville it is easy of access in all directions,
STEAMBOATS, passing both ways daily.
The buildings and improvements arcvery exten
sive, affording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets.
It's retired and hcalthful position eminently
adapts il for the purposes OF Military School, Be
ing eight miles from any town, it is free alike from
the vices and extravagancies usually incident to
college life.
The second term of the animal series opens on
Monday, the 10th of February, and hereafter the
annual session will regularly open on the second
Monday of September, and close the last Friday in

We would call the attention Of our readers
to the very able and eloquent speech Of the
Hon. MEREDITH p. GENTRY, which we pub
lish in this mornings impression. 1t will be
read with great interest, not only for the view
which it presents of the issues involved in the
approaching election in Tennessee, but for It's
comments on the paramount questions OF Fed
eral policy. 1t should be sufficient to rouse the
WINGS of that State to an united and earnest
effort, not only to elect their Governor, but to
secure a majority in the Legislature. The
Wines of the Union are looking with deep so
licitude to the result. 1t cannot be that from
inaction, or Indifference, the patriotic Who's
of Tennessee will surrender to their adverse
ries the victory that it is in their power to
achieve for the Wing cause in a VINO State.
We wish that Mr.. GENTRY's speech could be
read, not only by every Vine in Tennessee,
but by every Wing in the Union; for it is In
spired by statesmanlke counsels and the most
animating eloquence.

LArkR FROM BuENos AyRRs.-- We have received
files OF the British Packet of Buenos Ayrcs to the
29th Of March. The Chamber Of Representa- OF
the province Of Tucuman has passed resolution
refusing to accept the resignation Of Gen. Rosas.
The provinces Of Salta, Santiago del Estcra, San
Luis, and Rioja, have all made similar manifesto
tions restoring TO Gen. Rosas all the powers be
signed. They all unite in declaring that Gen.
Rosas has ably and faithfully discharged tho de-
licate and important functions Of his high Office"
The Packet says Of these movements:
Admitting, ms we readily do. the hardships of
the case, as regards the personal sacrifices of his
excellcncy, we confess we can ace no way OF es-
cape from this solemn verdict of a national Jury.
II has become question sui gensris, without parallel
or precedent in the annaAof history and must be
disposcd of on its own intrinsic merits, guided
alone by the light of general principles"
The Packet publishes an address to M Theirs, on
the Platte question. signed by 5,439 French resi-
dents of Buenos Ayres, and 1856 French residents
Of the Oriental Territory. The Packet also pub
lishes at length Mr.. Websters letter to Chcvslcr

The Chambers have been discussing many expo

our correspondent, the country is in such state
