The NEw.EsGLAsD PROTECTIVE UMoa-We have
received communication from Mr.. Thomas Ess-
brook of Balston Spa, Secretary Of the New England
Protective CIon, correcting some statements In rs
cent letter Of our Boston correspondent Gilbert"
Mr. Es.sbrook Gays "GTbert" stated that the annual
meeting of the Central Division Of the New-Eogland
Protective Union was held in Chapman Hal, Boston
on the 9Th OF October. This is q mistake. email
Iumber of citizens claiming that title did convene
tta place the day stated Their claim is, however
without the shadow of foundation. Gilbert says
that "within the last three years schism has o.
'curred in the body and there are now two agencies
in Boston, both claiming to be egitinats; believe,
however that the Division which net to-day has the
"best claim TO legitimacy" He Is correct - to
scbsm having taken place, earlier even than he nSss'
II originated in 1882 and was c,nsummsted In 0cso-
Der, 1853. A few ambitious persons, who imagined
that they caned the Union in their pockets, were
outvotee in spite Of all their scheming, by more tha
two TO one. These ambitious fac.iobists, snarisg
under defeat, then revoted, and at the instgston d
their leaders, csnveted o. Chapman Hall. From thai

The southern University.

The bishops, clergy and lay members of the Epis-
copal Church, to whom the establishment of South
ern University has been committed, says the Coum-
bia Is c. Times of the 26th ult. will assemble in
Montgomery, Alabama, on the 25th of November, to
perfect their plans 1t is expected that nearly all the
bishops of the Southern States will be present.
At the last meeting of the friends of this move,
Committee of Location was appointed. This com
mittee, of which Bishop Polk is chairman, is COM
posed of one person from each of the ten States then
represented. Impressed with the grave responsibility
Of the duty assigned it, and the importance of bring
ing to its aid the most authentic information it has,
we learn, appointed a commission of engineers to
investigate the claims Of the most prominent sites
presented in the region agreed upon.
The commission is headed by Col Walter Gwynn a
gentleman of high character and well known to the
country for his eminent scientific attainments. 1t
has entered upon its work, and will have its report
ready for the adjourned meeting of the committee to
be held in Montgomery. At this meeting the ques
ton of location will be finally disposed of, we have
no doubt judicously, and to the satisfaction of the
Southern people generally.
The region under examination is understood to be
the mountain district, embraced in East Tennessee
Northwestern Alabama and Northwestern Georgia
which, from its salubrty and beauty, has been not
inaptly called the Switzerland Of America In such
region the difficulty will be, not in finding suta
BILE site, but choosing among SO many such high at
fractions.
