WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER I, 1863.


We invite attention to the advertisement
of Miss Miller in another column. This
school was opened on Monday last, at the
earnest solicitation Of d number Of our citi-
liens, to supply the demand for school, in
which instruction might be impaired in the
highest branches, as well as in the rudiments
of good English and Classical Education.
1t is designed, should the people wish It, to
make this school the Foundation Of a perma-
nent one, Of ahigh order, which will not only
furnish the blessing Of finished, and thor
ough education to the daughters Of our own
citizens, but secure liberal patronage from
n distance. A school Of this Kind ought to
be supported here, and we believe will be.
We are assured that nothing will be left I'M
done, to make this school worthy the conf
dence and patronage Of the public.

THE UNION AND IT'S AssAILANTs.

The Washington Union is sorely beset by
its assailants, who take malicious pleasure
in renewing the attacks from every assailabe
point. The latest attack from those of its
Gown household" is the charge of abolition
ism. brought by the Rochester Advertiser
and enforced by the New York Post. Tho
Union takes the charge seriously to heart,
and protests and declares most vehemently
that it IS not true. On this denial the New
York Post comments as follows:
"0ur readers will hardly need to be told
that there is but one man who could have
written this defence. The Nestor Of the
Press, the patriarch Of the Richmond En-
quirer, the champion of ardent young Virgin
ians, the venerable Ritchic, is the only man
in this republic at present equal to the effort
1t bears the unmistakale marks of his large
experience in Journalism, and bis nice appre
citation of the ridiculous which always lent
such a charm to the Union in its palmy DAYS.
"We have not heard of Mr.. Richie re !.
turn to Washington. but nothing is clearer
than that he is radiatug in that horizon. 1t
Is but justice to the Union to say that Mr.
Ritchies aid was all that was required to
make It's departments complete, With his
help the Union will be the funniest paper in
the United States and that makes its abol.
ton principles only the more dangerous. -
W warn all national democrats of its subtitle

healthicst looking root absolutely smell with
disease before it shows any outward sign d
It's rottenness"
