NAsBvLEE FEplALE AcADEuY.--We take pleasure
in directing TIE attention of parents and guardians
to the advertisement Of the Nashville Female AGA
deny to be found in this paper, the first session in
which for the present year commences on the 18th
inst. The character Of this institution is we'll
known, that Is not necessary to refer to 1t in even
the terms Of eulogy which its merits justly emit
tie It. Il is known to be Of the best Institutions
for young ladies in the whole country; and there
fore presents superior advantages TO such wish to
acquire a thorough education
IL, 90 L
GUNNER, by the worthy and enterprisiug Principal
Of the Academy, will be found interesting by the
patrons Of the institution:
One young lady may be counted as two or three
pupIls in the ornamental department. Ina loA4 the
number of ornamental pupils was only 81, less than
one sixth Of the entire number of names entered
In 1857 there were i've hundred and sIEty-tlree,
one hundred and thIuy-seyen more than all the
names entered This fact indicates not only the
change in the Academy, but also the improvement
Of the city and country In wealth and refinement
This fact Is connected with another equally inter
ssting Formerly nearly an young ladies whose
parents could afford IT, we're sent North for their
eduoation. Now we are safe in saying that with
the expectation Of getting better schools there are
none from this region Of country sent to the North
ern States.
This-fact also stands in the same connection: A
few years ago there wereuOt more than Two Female
Boarding schools in the extent Of country from
which mainly the Academy is supplrted-now ] can
count more than twenty. These schools have spa
cious and elegant buildings full faculties Of from
five to fifteen teachers. They are all a1urshIuE-
doing much good and promising great things in the
future. Within ten miles of some Of them, there
are persons who if they could just such schools
in New England would excaim: Why can not We
have such institutions in the SOUTH
The Academy has not only been selt-sustalnlng,
but self-enrichiug. 1t has during eighteen years
more than doubled the extent Of its grounds and
has three times erected new buildings, &c, at an
aggregate cost Of more than thirty thousand dollars
Ii nov feels strong enough IN the confidence Of the
community, and the South, 10 venture upon an out
lay Of more than forty thousand dollars, IN order TO
enlarge the field Of its usefulness IN the future.
The Academy has received no eudowmeuts from
the rich except the fifteen thousand dollars paid in
BY the original Stockholders. Ii has made no aP-
pesls to sectsrian Partially received no spe-
cisl favor from any sourCe-but has relied alone up
on its merits for success.
We have already given brief account OF des-
perats shray in BRUNSWICK, Ca, on the evening Of
the Gath December, which resulted in the death Of
Jacob ". Moore, representative in the Safe Leg
islaturo. The rencouuter took place in a public
meeting at the Academy, which had been called by
Carey W. Styles, the conservative candidate for
Mayor be was making speech deuouncing q To-
cal bill passed by the Legislature, when the letter
Gsys:-
mir. Moore interrupted the speaker by rising,
with his hand in his vest ana saying If YOU say
have done anything dishcaUrshle, 10 IS o faseh9od.
Whereupon Mr.. Styles, having ceased, turned in
the direction Of Mr.. Moore hurled back the false
hood IN stronger language, and placed his hand up-
on ais pistol Mr. Moore retCrtedr and drew The
next moment both gentlemen leyeled their pistols
and fred. withoutef effect Then commenced @ scene
Of confusion which it would be Impossible 20 de-
scribe but which you may imagine when you learn
the factthatmauy persons were sitting between the
contestants The firing continued between the gentle
men above mentioned ami others, until SIX or seven
shots were dscharged-Our worthy mayor james
Houston, being one OF the persons who fired a. Nj
Styles. An II once Mr.. Moore was heard to utter
eroans and cries of distress The lights we're struck
out and the writer made all haste to leave, with
most Of the crowd. Mr. Moore was discovered e
be shot In the abdomen, sud died in about one houl
afterwards. The next morning Mr. Styles surren'
dered himself 10 the sheriff, and now awaits bis eX
animation"
