It is known 10 our readers that the Meth
odjst denomination have it in contemplation
to erect q first class college for The State Of
Missouri, in Fayete. The denomination
have taken hold of the subject in earnest,
and are determined to prosecute it 10 a sue
cessfu issue. On the first page Of to days
paper will be found a circular of the Agents,
giving an account of the rise and progress of
the subject, embracing the action of the two
Conferences of this State, to their last ses-
sions. The plan has all been agreed upon,
and is set forth; the Agents appointed, who
have submitted this circular to the public.
preparatory to taking the field in behalf Of
tine enterprise.
First, they are going TO test the lihera'ity
CT the citizens of Howard county. vile the
Institution is TO be located, and will, in q
short time, call upon them for that purpose
The real friends Of Schools and Education,
desire no Stimulus to lend a helping hand;
such will contribute according to their
means; but we are sorry to say there are
those who, according 10 the best lights be-
fore us, take no interest in Ills important
subject. We know not how to approach
such, and leave the Agents to exercise heil
ingenuity upon them.
What is wanted, is $3.50 for building
purposes, TIE endowment of the institution
being in good hands. To raise this amount
is the first object Of the Agents. This is
small sum tor Z county Of the wealth of Ole
Howard; and the citizens of Fayette and it.
immediate vicinity, who will reap the great
est pecuniary interest from its location there
ought TO bestir themselves and plank down
half the amount forthwith, so that the Agents
when they go abroad, can say. and show tina
they not only understand their own inter
ests, but are willing to do something for III,
great cause OF Education.
Read the circular on our first page, an,

News has just been received Ivy the Sec

mand upon the United States. preferred be-
fore the Board Of Umpircs on claims, now
sitting in London, The facts are briefly
these:
Some fifteen years ago, before Florida
became State, the Territorial authorities
gave Florida bonds amounting IN all TO So
100000 to two banks, one at Pensacola ant
the other at Tallahassee. This issue o.
bonds was not sanctioned by the genera
Government, and have been ranked among
the repudiated paper, so far as the United
States were concerned. For long lime
they floated about in the market at low
rate, and at last fell into the hands of Eu
ropean capitalists. Their present quoted
value is about twenty-five cents on the dol
lar. But the holders claim that the United
States shall pay them in FULL
