ferry landing is the best on the River, there be-
ing at all times deep water from shore to shore,
and very narrow. Our banks have no wide
sand beach where stock can mire down, being

To the Emigrant to Kansas we say, this il

to other points in the Territory, is nearer than
from crossing places above or below.

EDUCATIoN-ATcHIsoN INSTITUTE

THE first Quarter of this Institution COM
i menced OH Monday the 18th day of June
The vital importance of imparting liberal ed
ucation to the young is, we doubt not, too gem
orally acknowledged to require any solicitation
on the part of the instructress to induce parents
to avail themselves of this opportunity to have
their children educated. 1t being the intention
to establish the Atchison Institute as perma-
nency, it is hoped those wishing to patronise it
will send their children as early in the quarter
as possible. Being desirous that all may be
satisfied, and have no reasonable excuse for
Withholding their children, the terms of tuition
will be, for the present, as follows:
For quarter, or twelve weeks, ,...... 50 90
Where Scholars are entered by the month,
for each month, the charge will be, 81 %
- In an cases. the tuition fees will be con-
sidered due when the bills are presented.
Feeling confident that the instructress having
charge of this school is fully capable of rem
dering entire satisfaction, the patronage of the
citizens OF Atchison and vicinity is respectfully
solicited.
All who wish to send their children are re-
quested to call at the Office of the Squatter Sow
ereign, or at the school room, where any infor-
nation that may be desired, in relation to the
school. will be cheerfully given.

In noticing the refusal OF the President
to grant The use Of the public buildings at
OH Point Comfort for the sufferers at Nor
folk and Portsmouth, the National Iatslligsn-
CIR says:--
ut vas natural that such an idea should
suggest itfelf to the minds of the afflicted
survivors, who saw no other practicable
means Of saving those cities from utter de-
population than sending away from the in
fiuence OF infection the few families that
have thus far escaped; and, if any thing
could have added 10 the poignancy Of our
sympathies for them. il would have been our
anticipation OF the answer which the Pres.
ident has found it his duty TO make 10 their
application. We fel, that he could not,
consistently with other obligations, deprive
one portion of his fellow citizens Of their
homes for the sake Of affording Temporal
~ asylum to another. II is not that the
public business would suffer, for that might
have been made TO give way to the calls eff
humanity; but, in causing the numerous per-
sons employed at Old Point, and dependent
on the Government for their support, 70 be
removed, he would be doing a doubtful act
Of charity al the certain sacrifice of public
justice. We are sure tha,i, must have Civ
en- pain TO the President not to yield to the
appeals Of the committee, and we trust that
the committee themselves have been salts
fed that nothing but the sternest sense Of
his duty to all could hive armed him with
the courage TO resist The call which they
made upon his ht nevolence.'
