BENEFIT FOR THE SUFFERERS.

We understand the "Eoans" intend devotine
the proceeds of tomorrow "wednesday nights
concert to the relief Of the poor who are suffering
from the inundaton of the lower parts of the city
This is very generous design on the part of this
truly meritorious band, and we earnestly hope it
will be responded to in the proper spirit by our
citizens. Collections have already been taken up
in several of our churches for the benefit Of the
sufferers, but the amounts raised have not been
sufficient to afford any extended relief The
suffering is really great-much more serious,
indeed, than many who are surrounded with the
Injuries of comfortable home can well imagine
II must be relieved-and the only way to relieve it
is by generous donations If our citizens viii take
the matter to heart, and ill the Adephi Gas they
should) to its utmost limits on Wednesday night,
the proceeds of the concert will form large item in
the necessary fund. The amount raised will be
placed in the hands of the Mayor, or a committee
appointed by the Board of Aldermen, for proper dis
tribution.
We understand that the amount taken in at the
door of the colored gallery will be devoted excu-
civey to the benefit of such colored persons as are
sufferers by the inundaton.

lCOMMCNICATION.
THE ATHEN.RUM AT COLUMBIA.


An esteemed CORRESPONDENT Lady, now in Co.
lumbia, writes in the most glowing terms relative
TO the examination of the scholars at this estab-
lishment, which took place on Friday last 1t
would he "gding refined gold to bestow any
eulogium upon the Rev. Mr. SMITH and his lady,
the principals of that institution for they have for
many years occupied the very first rank as instruc-
tors of youth. Their cxertions lattcrly have been,
ifpossible, more strenuous and unremitting than
formerly, and cheerfully admit that there is no.
where, in the whole Union, any position where the
advantages of finished education can be better Sc
cured
The corps Of teachers employed has never been
equaled either in point of talent or of assiduty,
and the examination OF the scholars was more
thorough and critical than it is customary for school
examinations to be-
The Musical department in which this Academy
has always been pre-emnent, is in the hands of
Madame RoNGF and her daughter, who teach vocal
and instrumental music and instruct in the French,
German and Spanish languages
Mad r. is vocalist Of decided ability with n
voice of great compass and sweetness highly cul-
tyatej and not inferior to any singer that has been
in the country, with the exceptions Of JENNY LIND
and SoNTAG.
While ancient and modern languages are closely
studied, AMI the science of music daily practised
not only with the voice but also with the harp and
piano. the study of Philosophy, Chemistry. the ex-
act sciences. &c, are not neglected, and large
draughts are daily drank from the pure and uudc-
filed well Of English literature
NJ. SMrH is an elocutionst Of no mean ability
and his pupils read with ease, grace, distinct
ness and expression, which we are sorry to say j.
not more frequently initiated both at the bar and il
the pulpit
A concert which closed the days exercises, COM
menced at o'clock and continued, without inter
mission, until 10 o'clock and which displayed the
musical ability of both teachers and scholars in
mo st amiable light, and which was attended by the
elite of Maury and the surrounding counties, the cit
liens of which are justly proud of the Athenaum
of its teachers and principles and of the great inn
provement made by their fair daughters, while pur-
suing their studies at this excellent institution.
