THE PROPRIETORS TAKE
Il great pleasure in expressing their thanks for the
gratifying and unprecedented success which have
marked the career Of their Institution since its estah-
lislment at the Capital, and stimulates than to renewed
exertiOns TO meet, in the most efficient manner the IA
pidiy increasing demand for a practical and c0n.pre-
hensive course Of Mercantile training. The great prac-
ucal experience Of the Principal. IN heavy Ranking
and Commercial Houses, assisted by educated and ae-
rourPiished gentlemen has enabled him to bring TO a
degree Of perfection a system Of COzHtiHg Room in
structiOn, BY oral exercises, not attained By any other
IsstitEtiOa. Zach student. by this new process, is
drilled AZ the desk, individually, step by step, until he
has mastered the whole routine Of an Accountants du-
ties as thoroughly as though he had served an appren-
ticeship in some Commercial House; and thus all awk
W~ardness, faltering and GORGEOUS blunderS are, in q
great measure, dissipated.
In addition to our engagement Of accomplished As
sistants, we have also secured the services Of some Of
the most eminent lecturers in Ohio to lecture on Com
mereial topics.
Our course Of instruction is too extended to part;ca-
larize here, but it embraces every thing Connected with
Double EHtTy Book heePfRg, with free and full discus
sion OF its Scientific NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on CONNER
cial Calculations, Political Economy, Mercantile Law,
Ethics ofTrade, Partnership, &c.
II LADIES DEPARTMENT
Is-noS opened for the reception Of Ladies. No insti-
tuition in the Union imparts a more thorough or inter
esting course in this Department.
In conclusion. We would add. that we shall put forth

the hatterins reception with which our enterprise has
met, and plcdgs ourselves to impart a more thorough.
practical course OF Mercantile Instruction than can be
formed i. any other similar Mercantile College.

resolution was adopted appointing a committee
TO represent their interest before the Legislature
of Maryland, in order to procure management
of the Canal dvested of State control, or for
the sale of said work on terms securing 10 the
bond-holders tile payment Of their claims. A
coupon OF pcrceut was assessed on every bond

I" 1t is stated that the outlay of the Canal will
absorb its income of 100000, interest unpaid,
independent Of the Virginia guaranteed bonds
the entire debt being S2,60O000. The bond
holders pronounced The Canal nearly bankrupt
only needing declaration to that effect to make
it 40. The entire cost Of the Canal was from

PRESIDENT PIERCE,

We observe with much pleasure that the Pre-
sidents Message has met with general favor
from The Southern press. Some, il is true, have
been slow to acknowledge it; but calls well
that ends WELL" and we are much gratifed ut
the proper tributes we daily meet TO The intrin-
sic merits of this admirable Stale paper.
There is a degree of moral courage, which
we do not remember to have seen in The posi-
ton Of any other President, which belongs to
this distinguished gentleman. in the presence
Of The manS factions existing in the Councils
of the Confedcracy, and throughout our wide
country--in the face of the most active sec
tiona opposition, and of Il majority against his
administration-he has not hesitated to place
before the country the true constitutional princi-
pies of the Confedrracy. He has boldly and
nobly come forward, with the authority placed
in him by the people, to tell them that the Gov
ernment is to be held together BY strict adherence
to the true rights of the parties 10 the compact.
EIe has clearly and forcibly set before tlicp tho
"voice of history" in relation to tho coisiitu-
,ional relations of the States, with special ref
crence 10 The present cause of difficulty. He
appeals to all, in the sincere language .o6iaon-
viction, and that Of The paiript statesnulu, 10
consider the dcplorabe results Of the pre-
sent agitation. lie says, with much force:
"T'hc interests, the honor, the duty, the peace, i,
and the prosperity Of The people Of ail sections
are equally and inpcrilled in this question"
We would be delighted TO see his counsels
needed in the controversy now existing in tho
Halls of Legislation, where party and men, and
not principles, are in the ascendant, and where
the practical working of the Government is an
aspect sadly subsersvc Of true Dcnocralir p1il-
ciplcs.
Gen. Pierce has done his duty to the South,
to the Norih--to the whole country, in placing
himself in the elevated position he has assanlsd
jim rising above the trammes Of party, and Gro
cphemeral influence of Il personal or popular
character, and taken the lofty ground of Il rep
resenaive of the great and proud Contrderacy
of these United States. =
lie deserves the support Of every lover ofihs
Union-of every advocate of States rghts-ot
every devotce of constitutional liberty: With
such views and so nobly presented when the
occasion demands it, may he receive the united
support of The true friends of the Union. 1,.
