the way of murders. Here are two more

man named PHILIP W. DoNEGHY, shot a
man named JAMES SIMPSON, in Bradford

He was killed with shotgun loaded with
buck-shot, at the distance of seventy-Gve
yards. There had been an old grudge be-
tween them. A reward of one thousand dol
lars has been offered for the apprehension of
DoNEGuY.
A letter to the Louisville Democrat"
says that man by the name Of WILLIAM
BUCHANAN was murdered in Union county,

ENCOURAGING.

We have seen communication from Mr.
L. J. Joyner TO several citizens of this place,
in which he states that he has purchased Prof
SLAck's property here, for the purpose of
reopening the Female Seminary. Accom-
panying the communication were high testi-
monials as to moral character and capacity
as teacher.
Prof SLAcKs premises are admirably
located, being at proper distance from the
hustle Of the town, and possessing every ad-
vantage for the comfort and literary advance
ment Of boarders The building is large
and commodious, and the grounds around
elevated and extensive, afHording ample room
for healthful exercise.
Nor is there. We again repeat. more
suitable town than ours in the Southwest,
for the establishment of schools of a high
order Removed from the dissipation Of
larger towns. students may here pursue in
qnie. the even tenor Of their literary way,
unallured by the glare of fashion, and IN
disturbed by the bustling follies Of the great
world Health, too, holds forth It's exhiler-
atiEg and precious treasures to aid the stu
dents progress. Vigor of body gives elias
ticity Of spirits and energy Of mind, but
little time is lost from study on account of
sickness. and the bills for board and tuition
are SELDOM swelled by that Of the physi-
clan.
And now that the prospect for re-estab-
fishing our female school once more bright
ems we would urgently say to our citizens
as we have said before-lay aside your lit
tie prejudices and preferences as to particu-
lar modes of teaching, and religious tenets,
and looking only at the intellectual capacity
and moral qualifications of the teacher,
atasite in support Of the school about to be
revived. with that hearty good will which
we have heretofore recommended-with
long pull, a strong pull ana a pull au to-
gcther
Without unanimity, the experience of
the past gives no hope Of success in our pre-
sent efforts to revive the school but fos-
tered and encouraged by the united support
of the town, it will outlive its infancy. grad
ually strengthen by aid from abroad, become
fully and permanently established, and its
happy influences be felt in this community
long after those who achieve the victory of
its establishment shall have passed from the
scene CT their triumph

MEMPHIs NAVY YARD.-The Memphis
Navy Yard donated to that city by the late
Congress, has been accepted by the city
council This acceptance is the subject Of
bitter condemnation in the city papers. It
is deemed suicidal and there is no hcpe of
a continuance of the Yard unless the next
Congress shall show disposition to take
its discarded offspring again under its pater.
nal protection, aud furnish. il with money
enough to pay its expenses genteelly-
There will be new city council before the
expiration of the next Congress, and as
these have to be elected by the people, and
they have already decided against receiving
the Navy Yard, the council elected will, of
course, be favorable to its rejection. But
it is doubtful how it will be. The present
council, before the expiration Of ftheir term Of
service may display their public spirit in pull
ling down the buildings and converting the
Yard enclosure into place for circuses and
monkey shows. The tax on these might
pay the corporation gFog bill, and thus be
made subservient to public purposes.
