For the Chronic le.l
Mr.. EDITOR:


l suppose at least one third of the
citizens of GAINESVILLE are ignorant of the
existence of the two Societies of Stewart
College. had the pleasure Of being a
spectator a few evenings since in the
Washington Irving Hall, and I must ac-
knowledge my surprise in finding so many
of the the most promising young mUn of
our city, assembled in its hall for the pur-
pose of intructing themselves in debating
and Elecution, and discussing with an
eurnestness and with zeal equal to that
in our Legislative halls, questions brought
up for consideration. Among the mem
bers were several professional gentlemen"
who attend and take lively interest in
its proceedings There is sufficient talent
in many of their regular and irregular
members. who frequent its hall to raise
them (if they only persevere) to places of
distinction, and we think all those who
desire the advancement Of Literature and
knowledge should encourage theiryoung
minds in their attempts to gain requisite
amount of knowledge and experience so
as to enable them to occupy with honor
to themselves and to their country. the
several places they may be called to oc-
cupy in the future. They have two
splendidly furnished halls capable of
seating a large number of persons, they
have also two very select Libraries of some
700 vols. each which they are continually
augmenting. A society carried ON in the
proper manner is not only an invaluable
addition to College, but an ornament to
the place, and we are certain they are a
great addition to Stewart College, as well
as an ornament to GAINESVILLE.
The College is at present in very
fourshing condition; between 100 and $50
students in attendance, and numbers con-
stantly coming in. Of its corps of prof
fessors, too much cannot be said an ADLER
body of men cannot be found in any
College in the Southwest Indeed several
of its professors sustain a reputation and
character, second to none in the South
for great learning and accomplished
scholarship, while the complete and well
arranged apparatus are not to be sur
passed in this country. The friends of
