Miss English's Seminary, Georgetown.
TO the Editor ofhe Daily american Telegraph.
DEAR SIR: Your Georgetown correspondent
in his letter of yesterday has committed-unin-
| tentionaly-a slight mistake, which | ask the
privilege of correcting. His statement is as fol-
lows:
"We have been informed that one of the most
| popular institutions Of learning in our town is
soon to pass out Of the hands of the present
owner and proprietor into the hands Of the Epis-
copalian Church"
The institution here referred to is, presume,
"The Georgetown Female Seminary" belonging
to Miss English, and which is to open under the
charge of reverend gentleman Of this city, who
has been invited by Miss English to assume its
management. The seminary has not passed
from her hands, and will not so pass. There has
been no purchase, no transfer, nor any other
arrangement than that of renting of the prop
erty.
Your correspondent appears to intimate that
the school will be Episcopalian from this time.
| beg leave to correct this impression. The SEM
mary is not, and will not be, UNCONVENTIONAL in
its character. The Episcopal Church is in no
wise party to the new arrangement. 1t is
purely private matter, with which the church
has nothing to do. The impaired health of Miss
English alone induced her to ask the new arrange
ment. Her interest-pecuniary and other-re-
mains what it has always been. KY.
WASHINGTON, July 16, 1852
Scott and Graham in Indiana.
We are permitted to quote the following from
letter received in this city from prominent
citizen of Indiana, who has always acted with
the Democratic party, and been elected by them
to several responsible Offices
81 cannot and will not vote for Pierce-and
many of my neighbors are of my opinion.
shall vote for Gen. Scott, and so will they. Ours
is the second strongest Democratic county in the
State, l believe, and l had strong hand in
making it so, as is we'll known here l
am of the opinion, decidedly, that Indiana will
20 for Scott, Notwithstanding you oil think at
Washington, suppose, that Pierce will carry it.
General Scott is known in every nook and
corner of the nation. He is respected highly as
gentleman of the Old Virginia stamp; and as
n commander he is inferior to man now in the
world. He has always upheld the honor and dig
nifty of his country, and that in many trying sta
lions, when demagogues and paltry politicians
could stand upon the hilltop, free from danger,
and describe the battle, and boast that they could
conduct it better than he that mixed in the strife
Are men of sense to be led by such politicians?
I have meddled but little in politics for the last
eight years, but this campaign intend to do it.
1 will use my utmost exertions for Gen. Scott,
and will even 60 so far as to stump it, if neces
sary, if they assail him in an unjust way. They
shall not do it. Scott ,oU be President, and ought

any gratitude or honor in the State. He led her
sons to victory at Lundy's Lane. Where are the
men of the 18th regiment, commanded by Col.
ment (Col Hugh Brady's) there too? Where are
Col. Bulls Cumberland county volunteers? Will
these men, or their descendants ever forget Scott?
