one Of our Mobile exchanges the following state
ment of a very liberal act on the part ofthe man
ager Of the Southern Military Academy Lottery,
which We transfer to our columns. Such acts
should not be forgotten. We believe that Mr..
Swan has grant for three years from the Ala
bama Legislature, for the purpose of establish
ing Southern Military Academy. Thus far
the tickets have sold remarkably well, and the
fair and honorable manner in which the distri-
button is arranged will, doubtless increase their
sale. We append the extract:
g 1t may not be generally known that Mr..
Swan, the popular manager Of this lottery, has
presented as free gift to each of the following
institutions FIVE tickets in all the schemes Of
his drawings from the commencement:
The Protestant Orphan Asylum Mobile.
The Catholic Orphan Asylum, Mobile.
The Can't Away Club, Mobile.
The Samaritan Association, Mobile.
The Fire Department Association, Mobile.
The First Volunteer Regiment, Mobile
The same donation is made to the Howard
Association, New Orleans; Firemen's Charita-
Bile Association, New Orleans; and three of the
Orphan Asylums, of New Orleans.
The following have thus far received a benefit
