Messrs EDITORS Aware, as am of your ardent
attachment to the cause of general, and especially
female education, beg leave, through the medium
of your excellent and widely. circulating paper to
submit few remarks in behalf of Oxford Female
College.
This f1ourshing institution is located in the beau
tiful town of OXford-one of the most healthy and
desirable places in North Carolina. 1t has hitherto
been literally patronized; closed its last session
under the most pleasing and favorable circumstances
and has bright prospect of commencing equally
so with the new year. Mr.. j. H. Mills, the prin-
cipal of this school, graduated at Wake Forest Col
lege few years since with the highest honors. and
IS well known to be ripe scholar and gentleman
of high order of talent From an intimate associa-
ton with him for the last six months, know him
to be man of deep piety, great intrinsic worth and
unfnching nerve in discharge Of his duty. And
from these and other requisites. there are, in my
humble judgment, but few men better qualified to
discharge the duties Of the high and important posi-.
ton he occupies.
Mr.. Mills is emphatically a working man, and
all connected with him, both teachers and pupils,
are required to work also. In regard to myself, |
hope to be pardoned for saying that thus far have
done and intend to continue to do all in my power
to advance the pupils in the department over which
| preside, Chat Of drawing and painting) and 1
feel persuaded that thus will the other teachers do
also. Much pains is taken in this school to improve
the health and refine and polish the manners of the
pGPs, anu all tnat can DE done Is done to promote
and secure their very best interests
No sectaran influence whatever is exerted upon
their minds, and they are permitted to attend pub.
lie worship in the different churches in town where
ever preaching may chance to be.
Mr.. Mills has recently added much to the College
for the comfort and convenience of the school, by
new and almost entire outfit of furniture &C., and
in addition to this he has secured the services Of
Mr.. William Piper and his estimable lady to pre-
side over the stewards department., whose good
cheer and fatherly and motherly for the young
ladies' can only be equaed by the piety and amiabe
disposition of these most excellent people,
Thus, Messrs Editors, it will be seen that this
school no ordinary advantages and parents
and guardians who would have their daughters and
wards acquire finished education cannot do better,
in my humble Judgment than 10 send them to Ok
ford Female College.

Important fsom Kansas. =
We give below the latest intelligence from Kan
sas. 1t seems the Leconpton Constitution, Dith the
szaoery clause, has been adopted
ST. LOUIS, Dec %.
Kansas advices of the 22d inst have been received
by the Republican.
The Lecompton constitution, with slavery, was
carried at the election on the 21st by large majori
ty. The pro.savery vote at Shawnee was 765, at
Alathe 200, and at Lexington about the same. :.
1t was reported at Lawrence that a body of~free
State men gone to Lecompton to seize the Ter
ritoral arms.
A letter dated Lawrence, 2lst, says that General
Lane has gone to Fort Scott with the avowed deter
minaton to destroy that place, extermnate the pro-
slavery settlers the Shawnee reservation, and
carry the into Missouri.
Gentlemen from Kansas report the whole vote of
Lecompton 1872, and the majority for slavery CO.
No votes were received in Lawrence, and the poll
books were not opened at Topeka.
The slavery majority in Lexington was 30.
Nothing had been heard from Leavenworth.
General Denver had assumed the Governorship OF
the Territory and had issued an address, in which
he exhors the citizens to appeal to the ballot box for
the settlement Of thsir difficulties He make copious
extracts from the Presidents instructions indica
tive of the line of policy he designs to pursue, and
also states tAst General Calhoun had invited himself
and the presiding officers of both houses Of the Ter
ritora Legislature to be present at the counting Of
the returns Of the election on the 21st.
Mr.. Pritchell beater of dispatches from Governor
Denver to the government at Washington, passed
through this city yesterday.
There is nothing authentic from Fort Scott

"a A "Northern Democratic Editor" pub
fishes card in the Washington Union, protesting
against the imputations cast by Judge Douglas upon
those Democratic Editors who refuse to 60 with him
in his opposition to the Lecompton Constitution
The Editor concludes his card as follows:
CAS- one of the Editors, therefore, of the Demo
cratic press who sustain the President in the posi-
ton assumed by him the Kansas question in his
late message, and one too, who has been a consist
supporter and defender of the Kansas Nebraska
measure from the day on which Judge Douglas
offered it in the Senate chairman of the Commit
tee on Territories up to this hour protest against
the wholesale denunciaton of dishonesty ard cor
rupt motives which that Senator has seen proper,
from his place in the Senate to cast upon those
Editors who cannot follow the author of the
Kansas-Nebraska measure with his sheme of inter-
vention in the affairs of Kansas for the sake of
intercention."
Denuncation of Democratic Editors, because they
stand in good faith by the Administration, will in
jure the denouncer more than it will them. Impu-
tations that they are influenced by patronage"
and not by sense of right, are noticed by them
only to be despised. The newspaper Editors of the
country, as class, are just as honest as members
of Congress are, or any other body of men but it
is somewhat fashionable to denounce and decry the
heads Of the public press, and Judge Douglas
for once to have adopted this fashion. We will see
what comes of it.

The Arrest Of Cen walker.

NC AIIcSt OF Ten. w 6ikots
The arrest of Gen. Walker by Commodore Pauld-
ing appears to have created some excitement The
New York Herald Of Tuesday says: - &
The news of the breaking up of Walkers expe-
dition created an intense excitement yesterday not
only in this city, but in Washington, Mobile, and at
other points at the South. The conduct OF commo-
dore Paulding was severely criticised. Il is sta
ted that that officer acted without instructions
in his demonstration against the fillibusters, the
only orders issued being simply those promug-
ed some time since to all the officers ot the federal
government to prevent inractons of the neutrality
laws 1t is furthermore stated that the administra-
ton discaim and disapprove OF the conduct OF the
Commodore, and that he will be held 10 strict &C.
countabilty.
Gen. Walker, in accordance with his promise to
Commodore Pauldng, presented himself at the Of
flee of the United States Marshal yesterday Not
having received any orders with regard to the Gen.
eral Marshal Rynders advised him to proceed to
Washington, and place himself in communication
with the federal authorities. Gen. Walker adopted
the suggestion, and will leave this morning for
Washington City,
The instructions to Commodore Paulding were
necessarily general in their nature, it being imposs
BILE for the government to anticipate very state OF
circumstances, and not until his official despatch
shall have been considered, will it be determined
whether or not he was justified in arresting him"
The last Washington States says:
The arrest oil Gen. W alker by Commodore fau'd
ing, at Punta Arenas, has created considerable dis
cussion and excite rent already. We believe it will
no, end here for the circumstances of the case seem
to place the United States officers in anything but
commendable defensible position. 1t seems by
the published letters of Commodore Pauding and
Commander Chatard, sufficiently apparent that they
were inspired by petty personal spleen, and forgot
by exceeding the strict duty to their own flag in
the desire to tear down Gen. Walkers.
We believe the popular desire will be for the dis
missal of Commodore Pauding. He had special
routine Of duties to perform and We doubt if his
instructions warranted him in gong lar as be did
If So this case presents the second in which OIL
GERS of the United States sefnstructed themselves
to capture General Walker. Secretary Toucey, in
his report says that Captain Davis had no authority
for acting he did and strong in the belief
that Commodore Paulding equally exceeded his in
structiOns.
If this is to continue, what check can we have
against the good i'll feelings of naval officers
interfering with their duty? We must commence
some time, and it seems to US that some example
must be made by this Government to preserve its
character of Democratic mpartiality and purity"
