St. Louis University.

By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the annual session of this institution commences the first Monday in Sep- tember next and closes about the middle of July following: The
 University of Nashville. It Will also be seen, resumes its session. in the coming October
 The wide spread reputation of these institu- t'ons ot learning have always attracted atten- ton and support from every section of the country. They possess advantages surpassed oy no university in the Union They are con- venlently situated to us, and, besides lie within the pale of southern sympathies, which, at the present day, is a consideration, we think. not to be disregarded. It is time that southerners should cease to sustain northern schools when they can and do have them as good at home.
 They should bestow their patronage upon southern institutions. We regard the predilec- ton of our citizens fornorthern colleges as both unfortunate and unpardonable
 The Universities of St. Louis and Nashville stand as high as any at the North, and are emi- nently capable of imparting instruction to the youth of the country.

Letter From R. W. Johnson.
Washington, D. C., July 14th, 1854.


 MR. EDIToR-Owing to the limited number of copies of the report of the census of 1850, allowed to Senators and Representatives Se- bastlan, Greenwood and myself conferred, in regard to the distribution of the copies to which we were entitled, to prevent any person from receiving duplicates. and that they might be distributed generally throughout the State
 We have sent one copy to each county court for the use and benefit of the county-direct- Ing jointly to the clerk and sheriff of the coun- ty-one copy to each of the libraries (so far as we knew of their existence) in the State-one copy to each of the land offices, federal and State-one copy to each of the newspapers in the State, and the remainder to persons resid- ing throughout the State In every instance where either of us have sent copies we have notified the persons to whom addressed to that effect.
 An edition of a compendium of the census has been ordered to be printed, sufficiently large to admit of more extended circulation.- It IS hoped, however, that under our dstribu- tion, the full report is accessible, with but little inconvenience to each citizen of the State. Your ob't servant, R. w. JOHNSON.

Burning of a Transport Ship.

The transport ship Europa, on her way from England to Turkey was burnt on the 3lst of May, on the Atlantic. at about POO miles from the English coast At the time she had on board sixty-two dragons and fifty-seven hor- ses. One of the rescued officers furnishes the following account:
 Of the number originally embarked on the Europa, twenty-one have doubtless perished: two officers (Lieut. Col. Moore, and Verterna- ry Surgeon kelley) are among the missing, and SIX non-commissioned officers, ten privateS two of the ships company, and one woman have shared the same fate. The greatest number of these were washed away from the wreck of the masts, to which they had clung; but Lieut.. Col. Moore remained at his post to the last and. having repeatedly declined to leave the burn. ing vessel until all his men had been safely re. moved, was at last driven to the mizzen chan nels by the violence of the flames; and there unfortunately perished. From the concurrent testimony of those left on the burning wreck from H. E P. M. of the 3lst ultimo to 216 A. M. of the lst instant it would appear that the conduct of the master, Mr. Gardiner, was mark ed by great coolness and intrepidity through out these trying hours. He was the last man to quit the wreck, and had his jealous endea- vors to maintain order been as ably seconded by the ships company, there can be little doubt that the list of casualties would have been re- duced
The true Democrat., 1854-08-02
Convention or No Convention?

Of all the questions upon which the people will be called to vote, on the first Monday in August next, we deem this by no mans the least important. With an overaowing treasury, and redeemed credit, we could see no such necessity for a new constitution as would jus- tlty the expense which would necessarily be incurred in calling convention to frame and adopt one, which might even then be repealed by the people, to whom it would be submitted for ratification. But considering the state of our finances, the debt we owe, and the absence of all means to pay any portion of principal or interest, while our taxes already are burthersome and oppressive, it does seem to us to be the most arrant political madness to talk about in- curing an expense of some forty or fifty thou sand dollars for an object, to say the least, of very doubtful expediency.
 Our present constitution possesses an inherent power of amendment and if any alterations are necessary, (which we doubt we would pre- fer the mode which it provides to make them, , to calling convention to frame new one, against which graver and more numerous ob- jections could and would be urged than against the present one. We have seen no plausible argument from the advocates of the measure, and fear that they are actuated by some hidden motive which it would not be popular to avow.
 We have only time to call the attention of our readers to this subject, and commend it to their serious deliberation. Apathy on the part of its opponents might give the victory to its friends. We shall recur to the matter in our next.-I Ioung America.

WAsHINGToN NATIONAL MoNUMENr-The Board of Managers of the Washington Nation al Monument Society, says the Washington Sentinel of the 14th, yesterday sent to Congress a memorial, stating that the funds are entirely exhausted, and that all their recent efforts to continue the work have proved entirely inope- rative. In view of this discouragng state of things, they submit the entire subject to the consideration of Congress.
 The object of the society when it was organ ized in 1883, was to build the monument b, voluntary subscriptions, and for this purpos, collectors were sent out all over the Union, an, circulars addressed to civic and military socie ties, asking for contributions and besides, othe. means were resorted to, for the purpose of rais- ing funds. But it appears that the work must now cease for want of pecuniary means, al- though the monument has not reached one third of its contemplated height; namely 500 feet
 Werepeatt regret we heretofore expressed, that the monument was ever commenced on the principle of voluntary subscriptions, for we long since foresaw that the present plan was failure, apart from the patriotism of the people.

lEF 1t has been the custom of the Gazett ana the Whlg to accuse others of the author ship of our editorials This has been renoat. edly done by both of these sheets and we have suffered their accusations to pass unnoticed be- cause we knew it was matter of Indifference to our readers who wrote our edit0-nls, so lono as they were we'll written and propa gate true and correct doctrines.
 The last issue of the Gazette contains re. petition ot the charge. We have nothing to do with the controversy between him and the gen. tleman accused; but we must state that the &C., cusation that he or any one else, during our ore. sence in this city, writes our editorials for us is a falsehood. We brand this upon the editor of the Gazette, because he persists in an accu- sation that has no foundation in truth.
 As for the editorials of the Gazette the world gives him full credit for them. No one need seek beyond the sanctum of that office for the composition of his editorials They are such only as he could be the author of, and we would be the last person to rob him of the "glory and shame" of their production.
