For the Post.

Mr.. Editor Il am well aware that the
leading topic is purely political, and that any
thing else at present has but passing notice.
Still, there is subject of infinite Importance
that must be looked to and cared for, in or
der to train he youth for usefulness and pre-
pare them for the important task of handing
down in perpetual succession, those lovely in
stitutions of learning which our ancestors
have toied and sweat and spent much treas.
ure in rearing. And in looking over the
country find no place where a young gem
tleman or lady could do better, (if SO vel, J
than to secure a place in the School now COM
mencing the Winter Session at Philadelphia,
under the care of Rev. D. NJ. Rowan, Princi-
pal, and Mrs. ANN LAW, Assistant. There
are now about SO pupils and still increasing,
and it is very ereditable to see how easily
every class is attended to, the quiet and
good order which prevail, and the happy
manner in which the teachers control the
mind and train it to study. Each pupil ap.
pears to be on the wing to outstrip his fellow.
Here is taught all the branches from com.
mon spelling to Latin and Greek.
To those at distance, Philadelphia is q
village of sober, quiet and industrious habits;
in morals rarely eqpalled, and free from much
of the gew-gaw SO often found in villages
calculated to draw off the young into wild
extravaganza.
Boarding can be had in private houses at
very fair prices Room will be made for all,
by application to the teachers, until the
School is filled up In a word it is now one
of the best Schools in East Tennessee.
And last, the Music Department, as taught
by Miss ANNA LAW, on the Piano, is truly an
opportunity which should be embraced by all
lovers of music, and especially those who
wish to take lessons, dc.

MR.. FILLMORE'S RESPONSE TO THE
WING NOMINATION.

BUFFaLU, n. Y, Oct. /, 1856.
Hos EnwARp BATEs-SIR. Your letter of
,be 10Th nit, came to hand day before yes
tardnv informing me that at a general Con-
vent;on of the Wigs Of the United States,
heId ot Baltimore on the 18th aud 18th Of the
mast month, was honored by that cOnven-
lion hv being chosen with one voice as their
candidate for the Presidency.
Whilst some of my old Wing friends,
whom Rave always highly respected, and
whose patriotism am unwilling TO doubt,
o,e opposed to my election, and are engaged,
some on the one side and some on the uther,
of political parties which are sowing the seeds
of alienation and distrust between different
sections of our common country, and wagng
a sectional warfare tending to weaken, if not
destroy the Union of these States, il is Il
source Of nexpressiblc qualification to Inc to
receive the unanimous nomination OF the
representative body of the national wings of
the United States-no less distinguished for
their intelligence than for their patriotism
aud ] cheertully accept it with the proudest
emotions of gratitude and pride.
Although ] am the known candidate OF
another party, yet can see nothing dishon-
Orable III receiving the support Of all Union
loving men, by whatever political denomina-
tion they may be known: but, confess that
received this flattering testimonial of the
continued confidence in my personal integrity
and patriotism Of my old Wing friends, with
much more than ordinary satisfaction; and |
trust that, if elected, shall do nothing to
disappoint the hopes or dishonor the prefer
ence of those who have so generously be-
slowed their confidence.
With renewed expressions of high respect
for yourself, personally, and my veneration
for the intelligent and p.triotic body over
which you preside,
am, sir, your friend and fellow citizen,

How can tie army be "sqfe" for any such
scheme of revolution and treason, unless the
head of the War Department be one of the
conspiring traitorsl Jefferson Davis, the Sec
rotary of War; was the leader of the seces-
sion party in Mississippi, and we have no
doubt he desires dissolution of the Union;
but we are 10th to think SO meanly of him as
to suppose that he could be guilty of such
atrocious and infamous treason, as would be
involved in the act of using the control of
the army with which the Union has entrust-
ed him for the destruction of the Union itself
