There are now one hundred and sixty
persons at this fashionable watering place,
which biis.fair to become one Of the mos:
popular in the State. Indeed the great nat
ural advantages which it enjoys would be
sufficient to make it 50, even were it under
the management of a proprietor less atten-
tive than Mr.. Kinney, and of a superiuten-
dant less skilful than Mr.. Woodward. A
visitor at these Springs enjoys the virtues
Of all the various waters, any one kind o.
which has been found sufficient to give repu.
tation and popularity to other retreats.
Our friend Woodward upholds his repu,

Mr.. Coleman.
We wish Mr.. Kinney the good success;
which the great crowd of bis visitors seem:

WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE.

We publish to-day the advertisement of
this venerable and noble institution. We
seek 30 make no invidious distinction among
! the Colleges of Virginia but the friends
of all, we believe, would unite with us in
desiring to see this, their common mother,
blessed with eternal youth. It,has been re-
marked thst '{there was scarcely great
man of Virginia's olden time, whe was not
+ in some way connected with William and
Mary College. or with the fine old city of
Williamsburg. 1t was there that jefferson,
Madison, Marshall, Randolph, Lee, Leigh,
and host of ether llustrious worthless of
Virginia's best and brightest days, were
trained for the distinguished part they after
wards performed on the great theatre of
public affairs. Washington made his first
speech il Williamsburg, and it was there
he was married. Patrick Henry, in the
walls Of the old Capitol, now burnt in the
same city, made the first of those great o.
rations which shook the British throne. and
IN room Of the old Raleigh tavern still
standing aud now occupied as a female semi
nary, presented those famous resolutions
which paved the way for the Independence
Of the United States
Many Of the places hallowed by tradition,
are yet Standing the old Raleigh, the wings
Of the Governors palace, the College, the
Magazine, and other sacred spots associated
with the Revolution and the llustrious pa
triots who achieved cur liberties. The So
eiety still preserves many of the character
istics Of its Cavalier origin, and is most
polished agreeable and social. The health
fuluess Of the city is now as good as that of
any place in Virginia. The oollege is in
able and admirable hands. We should re-
joicc to see its cid walls thtongcd WITH the
youth Of Virginia drinking at its pure foun-
tains Of knowledge and patriotism. i Nor

ClncatiOp.

1t is with great pleasure that we observe
the increased displays,i in Virginia, Of inter-
est concerning the training Of our yonths.
Conventions meet. resolutions are adopted,
money appropriated. But no conventions,
resolutions, or appropriations can avail maca
without the hearty cooperation Of the pco-
pie. Let them show determination to ed
ueate theig children, and the result will be
the glory of the State aud the happiness Of
themselves,
1t must ever be the fate Of the South to
own barrenness Of literature SO long as
Southerners are not educated, and educated
at Southern schools. As well might we ex-
pect to create Southern manufacturing iu-
teyest by depending on Northern manufac-
lures, as to create Southern Literature by
sending young men to Cambridge or Yale.
Our colleges are all good, and the exertions
which are now being made for their improve
ment, are already felt by their good results.
But, while our literature should claim our
attention, as essential to the glory of Vir-
ginia, the education of our people in the
sciences should be regarded as necessary to
our existence. knowledge of the sciences
cannot too often be defined as the key to
Natures secrets, or the open sesame to her
mysteries. How many discoveries might
have long ago been made, had every indi-
sidual had the education to which he was
entitled by Nature, but of which he ives
robbed by circumstances. The science OF
chemistry is almost purely experimental,
and the only hope of ever reducing it to the
study of general principles, is by acoumu-
lating facts proved by experiment. No land
is more in need of chemists and nineralo-
gists than this of Virginia. Who can guess
the mighty discoveries which arc yet to be
dug out of the mountains in the West p
Who knows how soon the fields of the East
may resume their ancient prodigious powers
of production under the guidance and direo-
,ieu Of ar agricultural school.

A Just ReJahe.--A correspondent Of the
Charleston Mercury, writing from the
"sweet Springs, Va" says This at.
ternoon public attention was largely engaged
with communication in the Courier of the
18th, dated at the White Sulphur Springs,
and bearing rather freely and pointedly on
the attentions of Col Keitt aId, Col. Pick
ems to certain ladies', one of whose names is
broadly mentioned. The bringing Of mat
tiers Of this. sort, whether With or without
Just faunqati9n, before the eyes. of the world
at large, is cortainly unpleasant TO all par
ties concerned, and especially to the ladies.
iI,he effect is to prevent sociability and in.
jqre society. 1t may be proper enough on
occasions, when done discreetly, fairly, and
with due discrimination, to point out indi-
viduals in society and critcise them to a
certain extent. But to connect the names
OF ladies and gentlemen, and make an ez b..
bitlon in the public journals of Their .f.tten-
tons or love affairs, is trespassing upon in
divldual rights in society, and vii not be

Our obligations to the N, Y. Herald.

After having boasted of his great service
to the South; BY publishing a report of the
Southern COMMERCIAL Convention. Bennett
thus abuses US in a paragraph ghich will
be read by thousands, while. his report was
not observed by ninety-r;ne of his readers

forth by the Educational Convention which
met in Richmond last week The people of
Virginia would do we'll to remark how their
character thrives under the kind musings of
the Herald:
"0ur Virginia philanthropists hayo still
great deal to learn. We give elsewhere
the several speeches of Governor Wise at
the Convention, and It wild be easy to see
that the worthy chief magistrate was talk
ing at random lie snecred at the common
school system of the North, which he cvi-
IDENTITY does not understand, and appeared
particularly distressed because u grammar
was not taught in the primary schools of
New England. Now, New England 'pri-
nary' school, strictly speaking, is one where
the pupils are taken between the tender ages

hardly be prepared for the intricacies OF
Lindley Murray or Good Brown. The COM
mon school system Of New England is not
perfect, but is the nursery from which she
has sent forth her greatest statesmen, her
most eloquent orators, her most skilful me-
chanies; and it is in her Old red school hou-
ses that she has fitted the men and women
who teach the first families in Virginia, and
/ the merchants who send the cotton and the
tobacco Of the South into every open port
on the globe. When Gov. Wise shall give
to Virginia laborers the educational advan-
tages enjoyed by their Northern brethren,
there will be no need Of Commercial Con-
yea.ions to deyelope the resources of tie
Old Dominion, or to attract to her ports the
ships of all the tie commercial nations Of
| the earth.
The fact Of the matter is, that the persons
calling themselves the aristocracy of Vir-
GINA have monopolized all the education,
and arrogated to themselves all the talent in
the State. They are rapidly deteriorating,
and the State, by consequence, is going
backward, while its despised Northern sis
ters are steadily progressing Soy. Wise
end his ,coadjutors see this as plainly as we
do, but they go to work in very clumsy
way, if it is really their intention to remedy
it. let us, however, give them the credit
of good intentions, and hope for the best. ="
